Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On July 15, 2026, AST SpaceMobile, Inc. (the “Company”) announced a proposed offering (the “Notes Offering”) of convertible senior notes due 2034 (the “Notes”) to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and its intention to enter into capped call transactions in connection therewith, as described in Item 8.01 below. In connection with the Notes Offering, the Company provided the following disclosure for the purpose of supplementing and updating disclosures contained in the Company’s prior filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which includes certain preliminary unaudited financial information of the Company as of June 30, 2026:
Liquidity Update
As of June 30, 2026, total cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash was approximately $2,723 million. The Company’s financial results as of and for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 are not yet complete and will not be available until after the completion of this offering. Accordingly, the foregoing financial information is a preliminary estimate for cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash as of June 30, 2026. These estimates are subject to revision based upon the completion of the Company’s quarter-end financial closing procedures and other developments that may arise prior to the time the Company’s financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 are finalized. Neither the Company’s independent auditors, nor any other independent accountants, have audited, reviewed, compiled, examined, or performed any procedures with respect to this preliminary financial information. You should not place undue reliance on these preliminary estimates.
The information included in this Item 2.02 shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure
In connection with the Notes Offering, the Company supplemented and updated disclosures contained in the Company’s prior filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, noting that based on the Company’s current expectations regarding launch availability, its launch campaign is targeting approximately 45 of its BlueBird satellites (“BB satellites”) in early 2027. The timing of launch of the BB satellites is contingent on a number of factors including satisfactory and timely completion of the assembly and testing of the BB satellites, readiness of the launch vehicle, logistics and other factors, many of which are beyond its control. In addition, the Company is currently in advanced discussions with Rakuten, a shareholder of the Company and e-commerce, financial and telecommunications conglomerate in Japan, regarding the preliminary selection of RAST Co., Ltd. as an indirect subsidy recipient for the Low Earth Orbit Satellite Infrastructure Development Project (J-LEO) for Securing National Self-Reliance, with a total expected value up to 148 billion Japanese yen or approximately $1 billion United States dollars. The project supports the development of low-Earth orbit satellite communication infrastructure to realize direct satellite communication services utilizing low-orbit satellite constellations operated and managed within Japan. The subsidy award and related joint venture discussions are ongoing and there is no assurance that the joint venture will be finalized or that government financing will be secured.
The information contained in this Item 7.01 shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of such section, nor will such information be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act, or the Exchange Act, except as may be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
On July 15, 2026, the Company issued a press release relating to its proposed Notes Offering and its intention to enter into capped call transactions in connection therewith. A copy of the press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.
Neither this Current Report on Form 8-K nor the press release filed as Exhibit 99.1 hereto constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any Notes nor will there be any sale of any Notes in any state or other jurisdiction in which such offer, sale or solicitation would be unlawful.
