Financial Highlights
Balance Sheet: As of June 30, 2026, the Company held approximately $228.8 million in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities. In addition, approximately $69.3 million of warrant exercise proceeds were recorded as other current assets as of June 30, 2026, which were subsequently collected in on July 1, 2026, resulting in total available liquidity of approximately $298 million.
On May 27, 2026, NextNav announced the redemption of all outstanding Public Warrants, with the redemption completed on June 26, 2026. Holders exercised approximately 14.8 million warrants for cash at the contractual exercise price of $11.50 per warrant, generating approximately $169.5 million of gross proceeds. The remaining 318 thousand warrants were redeemed for $0.01 per warrant, eliminating the public warrant overhang.
On June 15, 2026, the Company exercised its optional redemption right under the indenture governing its $190 million 5.00% Senior Secured Convertible Notes due 2028. Prior to the June 25, 2026 redemption date, all noteholders elected to convert their outstanding notes and unpaid accrued interest into approximately 15.2 million shares of common stock, resulting in no cash redemption and eliminating all outstanding convertible debt and related derivative liabilities as of June 30, 2026.
