Our Business
We are the market leader in delivering next generation positioning, navigation and timing (“PNT”) solutions that overcome the limitations of existing space-based global positioning system (“GPS”). Our next generation PNT solutions are built on a robust asset platform, including 8MHz of nearly nationwide wireless spectrum in the 900MHz band, intellectual property and deployed network systems. The impact of GPS on the U.S. economy is approaching $1 trillion annually, according to a NextNav extrapolation of our data from a National Institute of Standards and Technology (“NIST”) sponsored study conducted by RTI International, and the European Commission has estimated a similar impact on the economy of the European Union in its 2018 budget process. Based on the increasing reliance on PNT across many facets of the global economy, the world increasingly requires more accurate and resilient PNT capabilities. PNT resiliency has recently emerged as a priority of the U.S. Federal Government, including as a key cyber security vulnerability. Higher performance will continue to expand the reach and value of PNT solutions, while resilience is essential to protect the vast economic activity that is reliant on GPS. We are targeting a global addressable market that is greater than $100 billion.
We currently deliver differentiated PNT solutions through our network-based Pinnacle and TerraPoiNT solutions. Our Pinnacle system provides “floor-level” altitude service to any device with a barometric pressure sensor, including most off-the-shelf Android and iOS smartphones. This service enables full 3D location at national scale for the first time. Public safety, autonomous vehicles, electric vertical takeoff and landing vehicles, unmanned aerial vehicles, and the app economy all require precise 3D location solutions. Paramedics need to know which apartment a 911 call originated from, and ride hailing and delivery apps need to know precisely where a customer is standing.
In early 2021, we launched the first element of our next generation GPS service through initial commercial launch of our nationwide Pinnacle network that was deployed in partnership with AT&T Services, Inc. (“AT&T”). The Pinnacle network provides “floor-level” altitude data to over 90% of commercial structures over three stories in the U.S. Pinnacle is being utilized by FirstNet® for public safety. We are currently providing services to Verizon Communications, Inc. (“Verizon”) as a customer for enhanced 911 (“E911”) services, using our Pinnacle 911 solution. Pinnacle has also been adopted by a growing number of public safety apps, commercial apps and app development platforms, including CRG, GeoComm, Rapid Deploy, Central Square, NGA 911, and Qualcomm. We believe that ramp up of customers using our existing Pinnacle network will support revenue growth over the coming years.
Our TerraPoiNT system is a terrestrial-based, encrypted network designed to overcome the limitations inherent in the space-based nature of GPS. GPS is a faint, unencrypted signal, which is often unavailable indoors, distorted in urban areas and vulnerable to both jamming and spoofing. TerraPoiNT overcomes these limitations through a network of specialized wide area location transmitters that broadcast an encrypted PNT signal on our licensed 900MHz LMS spectrum with a signal that is 100,000 times stronger than GPS. Unlike GPS, the TerraPoiNT signal can be reliably received indoors and in urban areas and is difficult to jam or spoof. Further, the TerraPoiNT signal embeds Pinnacle information to provide a full 3D solution. In addition, TerraPoiNT provides redundancy for GPS by offering position, navigation and NIST-traceable timing services independently. We believe that this backup capability is essential due to the economy’s reliance on GPS for location and precision timing. GPS redundancy is increasingly a U.S. national security priority, and is rising in priority in the European Union, non-EU countries in Eastern Europe and in other parts of the world due to both the demonstrated vulnerability and lack of local control of space-based signals and systems, highlighted by recent events in Ukraine. Critical infrastructure, including communications networks and power grids, require a reliable GPS signal for accurate timing. A failure of GPS could be catastrophic, and there is no comprehensive, terrestrial backup that is widely deployed today. TerraPoiNT received the highest scores in testing by the U.S. Department of Transportation reported in 2021 regarding potential PNT backup solutions, in each category tested, and was the only solution evaluated capable of providing the full set of services provided by GPS.
On October 31, 2022, we acquired Nestwave SAS, a French société par actions simplifiée, a global leader in low-power geolocation, and subsequently renamed it NextNav France. NextNav France provides advanced geolocation solutions to Internet of Things (“IoT”) modem and digital signal vendors and end IoT users. We believe that the combination of our TerraPoiNT technology with NextNav France’s LTE/5G capabilities will allow us to intelligently combine signals from existing terrestrial LTE/5G networks with our own highly synchronized TerraPoiNT system to deliver resilient 3D PNT capabilities with expanded geographic scale at significantly lower deployment costs than a standalone TerraPoiNT system. We also expect the integration of the NextNav France technology to significantly improve the spectral efficiency of our transmissions and may allow downlink data capacity similar to other LTE/5G systems operating over similar spectrum bandwidth. NextNav France has been substantially integrated into existing TerraPoiNT engineering and technology efforts.
As of September 2023, TerraPoiNT is deployed and available, with metro-wide service in the San Francisco Bay Area and select services available in 88 total markets nationally. It is also in use by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (“NASA”) at its Langley Research Center in Hampton, VA for drone operations research and at its Ames facility in Mountain View, CA, leveraging our deployed network in the San Francisco Bay Area
Since the inception of NextNav, LLC in 2007, we have secured valuable Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) licenses for a contiguous 8MHz band of nearly nationwide 900MHz spectrum covering over 90% of the U.S. population, been granted more than 160 patents related to our systems and services, and standardized our TerraPoiNT technology in 3GPP, the global telecommunications standards-setting body.
We believe our unique approach to PNT, relying on terrestrial infrastructure deployed at existing wireless tower or antenna locations, provides an unrivaled quality-of-service and would be difficult to replicate.
Our Strategy
Domestically, we operate primarily as a facilities-based service provider. Our target customers include businesses, including applications developers, and adjacent businesses selling PNT products and systems to end users, and Federal, state and local governmental entities. We deploy sensor and broadcast network capabilities, and licenses access to our customers for the data generated by our networks. Internationally, we provide equipment, software and services to our customers to enable them to partner in the operation of our systems in their home markets. The key elements of our strategy include:
- Ensure 3D Location is Market Standard. Our PNT services offer improved accuracy, resiliency and service availability compared to GPS-based services. We have developed our services to be easily integrated into applications and sold to end users either as part of a standalone application or for intermediate services used as part of a system or application (e.g., software development kits (“SDK”) based products for mass-market applications or the NASA drone system used as part of their aircraft systems). Our pricing plans are designed to encourage usage and adoption and are tailored to the use case and business operations of our customers. Given the increasing importance of geolocation services to society and economy, we believe that our offerings should become the new standard in geolocation.
- Establish TerraPoiNT as the leader in resilient PNT. We anticipate that the expanded availability of our TerraPoiNT system will provide enhanced value to existing customers and open new verticals. We have entered into agreements related to the commercialization of TerraPoiNT in the burgeoning urban air mobility space, and are working with the U.S. Department of Transportation, U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the U.S. Congress to assess the suitability of TerraPoiNT as a national backup capability to GPS. Redundancy to space-based PNT systems is rising in priority in the European Union, non-EU countries in Eastern Europe and in other parts of the world due to both the demonstrated vulnerability and lack of local control of space-based signals and systems, highlighted by recent events in the Ukraine. We also anticipate enterprise, IoT and critical infrastructure customers for TerraPoiNT, especially those that require either timing or dynamic navigation capabilities, or reliable urban and indoor reception of its signal. This includes industries such as transportation and telecommunications, which rely on position, navigation and timing to provide service and sectors such as the electrical grid which require timing — nearly every segment of the U.S. economy, most of which rely on GPS or GPS-derived services in one form or another.
- Optimize the Full Value of our Spectrum, including maximizing Spectral Efficiency and Throughput of Our Spectrum. We consider our FCC spectrum licenses, which consist of 8MHz of nearly nationwide, contiguous spectrum in the 900MHz band, to be among our most valuable assets and we are constantly seeking ways to maximize the potential of the spectrum and its value. For example, we anticipate adopting 4G LTE and 5G technologies as a core element of our TerraPoiNT PNT offering, including through the integration of technologies acquired from NextNav France. We believe that this will improve the data carrying capacity of our spectrum without impacting our core PNT services, which will allow us to expand our service offering and the potential uses for our spectrum.
- Expand our Global Reach. In pursuit of our vision for our services to form the standard for global PNT, we have commenced distribution of our services outside of the United States. We are focused on working with partners that can bring local scale as well as access to local authorities responsible for spectrum allocation and national critical infrastructure. Our joint venture in Japan, MetCom, backed by Sony and Kyocera, is emblematic of this approach. MetCom has access to significant local facilities to host our Pinnacle and TerraPoiNT infrastructure and has secured initial access to the required spectrum resources from the Japanese government for TerraPoiNT operations. Pinnacle was launched in November 2022 in Japan and we anticipate expanded geographic coverage in 2023. Following the launch of service in Japan, and our successful operations in the U.S., we anticipate interest from other international markets in the future.
- Ensure 3D Location is Market Standard. Our PNT services offer improved accuracy, resiliency and service availability compared to GPS-based services. We have developed our services to be easily integrated into applications, and sold to end users either as part of a standalone application or for intermediate services used as part of a system or application (e.g., SDK-based products for mass-market apps or the NASA drone system used as part of their aircraft systems). Our pricing plans are designed to encourage usage and adoption, and are tailored to the use case and business operations of our customers. Given the increasing importance of geolocation services to society and economy, we believe that our offerings should become the new standard in geolocation.
- Enable a Suite of Complementary Products. As the first to market with a scalable 3D location service, we provide or partner with companies to deliver products and services that are adjacent to our basic location service. Our first product supporting 3D location is our altimeter software bundled with our SDK that enables a quick reference to a user’s relative height. We anticipate building additional tools and capabilities to improve access and usability to application developers to both accelerate adoption and the use of full 3D location.
- Enhance Adoption, Distribution and Scale with Strategic Partners. We launched our services after securing our strategic agreement with AT&T to deploy the Pinnacle altitude network and to begin offering services to public safety customers. This relationship provided us with a platform to offer a nationwide service capability and to deliver a crucial situational awareness capability to public safety customers as part of AT&T’s FirstNet® operations. Our public safety presence is supported by our own marketing, awareness built through AT&T’s marketing campaigns and its presence on the FirstNet® API Catalog.
- Expand the use of our service for E911 in the U.S. In October 2021, we entered into an agreement with Qualcomm to make our Pinnacle software and services available with the Qualcomm Location Suite, which will make it easier for device vendors to integrate vertical location capabilities into existing carrier E911 infrastructure. We are currently providing service to Verizon as a customer for E911 services, using our Pinnacle 911 solution for its customers, and the first device (in partnership with Sonim Technologies Inc.) leveraging this technology became available in December 2022. We believe that our service may be attractive to other wireless carriers based on our high performance, system availability and FCC requirements for wireless carriers to provide accurate vertical location to first responders during E911 calls.
Business Combination
On October 28, 2021, we consummated a business combination pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 9, 2021, by and among us, Spartacus Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware special purpose acquisition company (“Spartacus”), NextNav Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Holdings”) and the other parties thereto (the “Business Combination”). As a result of the Business Combination, certain blocker entities formed by Holdings’ equity holders, Holdings and the various operating subsidiaries of Holdings became our wholly owned subsidiaries, with the equity holders of each of such blocker entities and Holdings and Spartacus’ stockholders becoming our stockholders.
Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company and a Smaller Reporting Company
Emerging Growth Company Status
Section 102(b)(1) of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) exempts “emerging growth companies,” as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Securities Act, from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can choose not to take advantage of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies, and any such election to not take advantage of the extended transition period is irrevocable. We are an emerging growth company (for the period described in the immediately succeeding paragraph) and will take advantage of the benefits of the extended transition period emerging growth company status permits. During the extended transition period, it may be difficult or impossible to compare our financial results with the financial results of another public company that complies with public company effective dates for accounting standard updates because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
We will remain an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act until the earliest of (a) December 31, 2025, (b) the last date of our fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion, (c) the date on which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) or (d) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the previous three years.
Smaller Reporting Company
We are also a “smaller reporting company” as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC and will remain a smaller reporting company while we have determined that either (i) the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates was less than $250 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter or (ii) our annual revenue was less than $100 million during our most recently completed fiscal year and the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates was less than $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter. If we are a smaller reporting company at the time we cease to be an emerging growth company, we may continue to rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements that are available to smaller reporting companies, including many of the same exemptions from disclosure requirements as those that are available to emerging growth companies, such as reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in this prospectus and our periodic reports and proxy statements. For so long as we remain a smaller reporting company, we are permitted and intend to rely on exemptions from certain disclosure and other requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not smaller reporting companies.

An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risk factors incorporated by reference to our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, and any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or Current Reports on Form 8-K, and all other information contained or incorporated by reference into this prospectus, as updated by our subsequent filings under the Exchange Act, and the risk factors and other information contained in any applicable prospectus supplement and any applicable free writing prospectus before you decide whether to invest in our securities. We may face additional risks and uncertainties that are not presently known to us, or that we currently deem immaterial, which may also impair our business. You should consult your own financial and legal advisors as to the risks entailed by an investment in our securities and the suitability of investing in our securities in light of your particular circumstances. Some statements in this prospectus, including such statements in the following risk factors, constitute forward-looking statements. See the section entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”
This prospectus relates to the resale, from time to time, by the Selling Stockholders of up to 448,466 Registered Shares. All of the securities registered pursuant to this prospectus will be sold by the Selling Stockholders for their respective accounts. The proceeds from any disposition of the Registered Shares will be received by the Selling Stockholders; we will not receive any of the proceeds from these sales.
We are registering the Registered Shares pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement in order to permit the Selling Stockholders to offer the Registered Shares for resale from time to time pursuant to this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement. When we refer to the “Selling Stockholders” in this prospectus, we mean the persons listed in the table below, and the pledgees, donees, transferees, assignees, successors, designees and others who later come to hold any of the Selling Stockholders’ interest in the Registered Shares other than through a public sale.
The following table sets forth, as of the date of this prospectus, the names of the Selling Stockholders, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned, the aggregate number of Registered Shares that the Selling Stockholders may offer pursuant to this prospectus and the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Selling Stockholders after the sale of the Registered Shares offered hereby. We have based percentage ownership on 110,157,410 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of November 30, 2023. We have determined beneficial ownership in accordance with the rules of the SEC and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose.
We cannot advise you as to whether the Selling Stockholders will in fact sell any or all of such Registered Shares. The Selling Stockholders may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of some or all of their shares since the date on which such information was furnished. In addition, the Selling Stockholders may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, at any time and from time to time, the Registered Shares in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act after the date of this prospectus. For purposes of the following table, we have assumed that the Selling Stockholders will have sold all of the Registered Shares upon the completion of the offering.
Selling Stockholder information for each additional Selling Stockholder, if any, will be set forth by prospectus supplement to the extent required prior to the time of any offer or sale of such Selling Stockholder’s shares pursuant to this prospectus. Any prospectus supplement may add, update, substitute or change the information contained in this prospectus, including the identity of each Selling Stockholder and the number of shares registered on its behalf. A Selling Stockholder may sell or otherwise transfer all, some or none of such shares in this offering. See the section entitled “Plan of Distribution.”
All expenses incurred with respect to the registration of the Registered Shares will be borne by us, but we will not be obligated to pay underwriting fees, discounts, selling commissions, stock transfer taxes and certain legal and incidental expenses incurred by the Selling Stockholders in connection with the sale of such securities.
Except as noted below, none of the Selling Stockholders, nor any of their respective associates or affiliates, has held any position, office, or other material relationship with us in the past three years.

General
Our authorized capital stock consists of 500,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and 100,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share. As of November 30, 2023, there were approximately 110,157,410 shares of our Common Stock outstanding and no shares of preferred stock outstanding. The following description of our capital stock is intended as a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to our charter and bylaws, which are filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, and to the applicable provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”).
Common Stock
Dividend Rights
Subject to preferences that may apply to shares of preferred stock outstanding at the time, holders of outstanding shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends and other distributions (payable in cash, property or our capital stock) when, as and if declared thereon by our board of directors (our “Board”) from time to time out of any assets or funds legally available therefor and shall share equally on a per share basis in such dividends and distributions.
Voting Rights
Except as otherwise required by law or our charter (including any preferred stock designation), (i) the holders of Common Stock possess all voting power with respect to the Company and (ii) each outstanding share of Common Stock entitles the holder to one vote on any matter properly submitted to the stockholders.
Preemptive Rights
Holders of outstanding shares of our Common Stock are not entitled to preemptive or other similar subscription rights to purchase any of our securities.
Conversion or Redemption Rights
Our Common Stock is neither convertible nor redeemable.
Liquidation Rights
Subject to applicable law and the rights, if any, of the holders of any outstanding series of the preferred stock upon our liquidation, the holders of our Common Stock are entitled to receive all of our remaining assets available for distribution to our stockholders, ratably in proportion to the number of shares of our Common Stock held by each stockholder.
Preferred Stock
Our Board may, without further action by our stockholders, from time to time, direct the issuance of up to 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series and may, at the time of issuance, fix the voting powers, if any, and determine the designations, powers, preferences, and relative, participating, optional, special and other rights, if any, of each such series and any qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof. Accordingly, our Board, without stockholder approval, may issue preferred stock with voting, conversion, or other rights that could adversely affect the voting power and other rights of the holders of our Common Stock. Preferred stock could be issued quickly with terms calculated to delay or prevent a change of control or make removal of management more difficult. Additionally, the issuance of preferred stock may have the effect of decreasing the market price of our Common Stock, may adversely affect the voting and other rights of the holders of our Common Stock, and could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of us or other corporate action.
Anti-Takeover Effects of our Charter and Bylaws
Our charter, bylaws and the DGCL contain provisions, which are summarized in the following paragraphs, that are intended to enhance the likelihood of continuity and stability in the composition of our Board. These provisions are intended to avoid costly takeover battles, reduce our vulnerability to a hostile change of control and enhance the ability of our Board to maximize stockholder value in connection with any unsolicited offer to acquire us. However, these provisions may have an anti-takeover effect and may delay, deter or prevent a merger or acquisition of us by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest or other takeover attempt that a stockholder might consider in its best interest, including those attempts that might result in a premium over the prevailing market price for the shares of our Common Stock held by stockholders.
These provisions include:
Special Meetings of Stockholders
Our charter and bylaws provide that, subject to applicable law and the rights, if any, of the holders of any outstanding series of the preferred stock, special meetings of our stockholders may be called only by the chairman of our Board, our chief executive officer, or our Board pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the Board. Our bylaws also prohibit the conduct of any business at a special meeting other than as specified in the notice for such meeting. These provisions may have the effect of deferring, delaying or discouraging hostile takeovers, or changes in control or management of the Company.
Advance Notice Procedures
Our bylaws establish an advance notice procedure for stockholders’ proposals to be brought before an annual meeting, including proposed nominations of persons for election to our Board. Stockholders at an annual meeting will only be able to consider proposals or nominations specified in the notice of meeting or brought before the meeting by or at the direction of our Board or by a stockholder who was a stockholder of record entitled to vote at such annual meeting on the date of the giving of the notice and on the record date for the meeting, who has given our Secretary timely written notice, in proper form, of the stockholder’s intention to bring that business before the meeting. Additionally, our bylaws provide that if the stockholder does not appear at the annual meeting of stockholders to present the proposed business, such proposed business shall not be transacted, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such matter may have been received by us. Although our bylaws will not give our Board the power to approve or disapprove stockholder nominations of candidates or proposals regarding other business to be conducted at a special or annual meeting, the bylaws may have the effect of precluding the conduct of certain business at a meeting if the proper procedures are not followed or may discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect its own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us.
Removal of Directors; Vacancies
Our charter and bylaws provide that, subject to the rights of any holders of any class or series of capital stock then outstanding, any or all of the directors may be removed from office, with or without cause, by the affirmative vote of holders of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the voting power of all then outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class.
In addition, our bylaws provide that, subject to the rights granted to one or more series of preferred stock then outstanding, any newly created directorship on our Board that results from an increase in the number of directors and any vacancies on our Board resulting from death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, removal or other cause may be filled solely and exclusively by a majority vote of the remaining directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, by a sole remaining director (and not by stockholders).
Supermajority Approval Requirements
Our charter and bylaws provide that our Board is expressly authorized to adopt, amend, alter or repeal our bylaws without any action on the part of the stockholders, subject to limited exceptions. The affirmative vote of a majority of the Board shall be required to adopt, amend, alter or repeal the bylaws. The bylaws also may be adopted, amended, altered or repealed by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares entitled to vote on the election of directors, in addition to any vote of the holders of any class or series of capital stock required by law (or any preferred stock designation).
The DGCL provides generally that the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class, is required to amend a corporation’s certificate of incorporation, unless the certificate of incorporation requires a greater percentage.
Our charter provides that, in addition to any vote of the holders of any class or series of our stock required by law or by the charter, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, shall be required to amend Article V (Board of Directors), Article VI (Bylaws), Article VII (Special Meeting of Stockholders; Action by Written Consent), Article VIII (Limited Liability; Indemnification), Article IX (Amendment of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation) or Article X (Exclusive Forum from Certain Lawsuits; Consent to Jurisdiction) of the charter; provided that if two-thirds (2/3) of the Board has approved such amendment or repeal or adoption, then only the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares entitled to vote generally in the election of directors shall be required to amend or repeal, or adopt any provision inconsistent with, the Articles listed in this sentence.
Authorized but Unissued Shares
Delaware law does not require stockholder approval for any issuance of authorized shares. However, the listing requirements of Nasdaq, which would apply if and so long as our Common Stock is listed on Nasdaq, require stockholder approval of certain issuances equal to or exceeding 20% of the then outstanding voting power or then outstanding number of shares of our Common Stock. Additional shares that may be issued in the future may be used for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings, to raise additional capital, to facilitate acquisitions and for employee benefit plans.
One of the effects of the existence of unissued and unreserved Common Stock may be to enable our Board to issue shares to persons friendly to current management, which issuance could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise, and thereby protect the continuity of management and possibly deprive stockholders of opportunities to sell their shares at prices higher than prevailing market prices.
Business Combinations
We are and will continue to be subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL. In general, Section 203 prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a three-year period following the time that the person becomes an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner. A “business combination” includes, among other things, a merger, asset or stock sale or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. An “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns, or did own within three years prior to the determination of interested stockholder status, 15% or more of the corporation’s voting stock.
Under Section 203, a business combination between a corporation and an interested stockholder is prohibited unless it satisfies one of the following conditions: (1) before the stockholder became an interested stockholder, the board of directors approved either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder; (2) upon consummation of the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the voting stock outstanding, shares owned by persons who are directors and also officers, and certain employee stock plan; or (3) at or after the time the stockholder became and interested stockholder, the business combination was approved by the board of directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder.
Under certain circumstances, Section 203 of the DGCL will make it more difficult for a person who would be an “interested stockholder” to effect various business combinations with us for a three-year period. This provision may encourage companies interested in acquiring us to negotiate in advance with our Board because the stockholder approval requirement would be avoided if our Board approves either the business combination or the transaction which results in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder. These provisions also may have the effect of preventing changes in our Board and may make it more difficult to accomplish transactions which stockholders may otherwise deem to be in their best interests.
Dissenters’ Rights of Appraisal and Payment
Under the DGCL, with certain exceptions, our stockholders will have appraisal rights in connection with a merger or consolidation of us. Pursuant to the DGCL, stockholders who properly request and perfect appraisal rights in connection with such merger or consolidation will have the right to receive payment of the fair value of their shares as determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery.
Stockholders’ Derivative Actions
Under the DGCL, any of our stockholders may bring an action in our name to procure a judgment in our favor, also known as a derivative action, provided that the stockholders bringing the action is a holder of our shares at the time of the transaction to which the action relates or such stockholders’ stock thereafter devolved by operation of law.
Exclusive Forum
Our charter provides that, unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the sole and exclusive forum for (1) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, (2) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors, officers or other employees to us or our stockholders, (3) any action asserting a claim against us or any director, officers or employees arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, our charter, or our bylaws or (4) any action asserting a claim against us, our directors, officers or employees that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine and, if brought outside of Delaware, the stockholder bringing the suit will be deemed to have consented to service of process on such stockholder’s counsel, except for, as to each of (1) though (4) above, any action (A) as to which the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware determines that there is an indispensable party not subject to the jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery (and the indispensable party does not consent to the personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery within ten days following such determination), (B) which is vested in the exclusive jurisdiction of a court or forum other than the Court of Chancery, or (C) for which the Court of Chancery does not have subject matter jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the exclusive forum provisions will not apply to suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction and (ii) unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Although we believe these provisions benefit us by providing increased consistency in the application of Delaware law for the specified types of actions and proceedings, the provisions may have the effect of discouraging lawsuits against us or our directors and officers.
Limitations on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors
The DGCL authorizes corporations to limit or eliminate the personal liability of directors to corporations and their stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of directors’ fiduciary duties, subject to certain exceptions. Our charter includes a provision that eliminates the personal liability of directors for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the DGCL. The effect of these provisions will be to eliminate the rights of us and our stockholders, through stockholders’ derivative suits on our behalf, to recover monetary damages from a director for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, including breaches resulting from grossly negligent behavior. However, exculpation will not apply to any director if the director has acted in bad faith, knowingly or intentionally violated the law, authorized illegal dividends or redemptions or derived an improper benefit from his or her actions as a director.
Our bylaws provide that we must indemnify and advance expenses to our directors and officers to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL and our charter and we have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our officers and directors, which require us to indemnify our directors and officers for expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes and penalties and amounts paid in settlement) in any action or proceeding arising out of their services as one of our directors or officers or as a director or officer of any other company or enterprise to which the person provides services at our request. We also are expressly authorized to carry directors’ and officers’ liability insurance providing indemnification for our directors, officers and certain employees for some liabilities. We believe that these indemnification and advancement provisions and insurance will be useful to attract and retain qualified directors and officers.
The limitation of liability, indemnification and advancement provisions included in our charter and bylaws and the indemnification agreements may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breaches of their fiduciary duty. These provisions also may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders. In addition, your investment may be adversely affected to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions.
There is currently no pending material litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors, officers or employees for which indemnification is sought.
Transfer Agent and Registrar
The transfer agent and registrar for our Common Stock is Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company. The transfer agent’s address is 1 State Street, 30th Floor, New York, New York 10004.
Listing
Our Common Stock is listed on Nasdaq under the symbol “NN”.
We are registering the Registered Shares covered by this prospectus on behalf of the Selling Stockholders. All costs, expenses and fees connected with the registration of the Registered Shares will be borne by us. Any brokerage commissions and similar expenses connected with selling the Registered Shares will be borne by the Selling Stockholders.
The Selling Stockholders may offer and sell the Registered Shares covered by this prospectus from time to time in one or more transactions. When we refer to “Selling Stockholders,” we mean the persons listed in the section entitled “Selling Stockholders,” and the pledgees, donees, transferees and other successors-in-interest who may come to hold any of the Selling Stockholders’ interest in the Registered Shares through a pledge, gift, partnership distribution or other non-sale related transfer from the Selling Stockholders. The Selling Stockholders will act independently of the Company in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale. These transactions include:
- through one or more underwriters or dealers in a public offering and sale by them, whether individually or through an underwriting syndicate led by one or more managing underwriters;
- in “at the market offerings” within the meaning of Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act, to or through a market maker or into an existing trading market, on an exchange or otherwise;
- directly to a limited number of purchasers or to a single purchaser;
- through agents;
- by delayed delivery contracts or by remarketing firms;
- ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers;
- purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its own account pursuant to this prospectus;
- exchange or over-the-counter distributions in accordance with the rules of the exchange or other market;
- block trades in which the broker-dealer attempts to sell the Registered Shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
- transactions in options, swaps or other derivatives that may or may not be listed on an exchange;
- a combination of any such method of sale; or
- any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
In connection with distributions of the Registered Shares or otherwise, the Selling Stockholders may:
- sell the Registered Shares:
- in negotiated transactions;
- in one or more transactions at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed from time to time;
- at market prices prevailing at the times of sale;
- at prices related to such prevailing market prices;
- at negotiated prices;
- on a national securities exchange;
- in the over-the-counter market; or
- in transactions otherwise than on an exchange or in the over-the-counter market, or in combination;
- sell the Registered Shares short and/or deliver the Registered Shares to close out short positions;
- enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions which require the delivery to them of Registered Shares covered by this prospectus, which they may in turn resell; or
- pledge Registered Shares to broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which, upon a default, they may in turn resell.
The Selling Stockholders may also resell all or a portion of the Registered Shares in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as permitted by that rule, Section 4(a)(1) under the Securities Act, if available, or any other exemption from the registration requirements that become available, rather than under this prospectus.
If underwriters are used in the sale of any Registered Shares, such Registered Shares will be acquired by the underwriters for their own account and may be resold from time to time in one or more transactions described above. Registered Shares may be either offered to the public through underwriting syndicates represented by managing underwriters or directly by underwriters. We may use underwriters with whom we have a material relationship. As applicable, we will describe in each accompanying prospectus supplement the name of the underwriter(s) and the nature of any such relationship(s).
If a dealer is used in an offering of Registered Shares, the dealer may purchase the securities, as principal. The dealer may then resell the Registered Shares to the public at varying prices to be determined by the dealer at the time of sale.
Registered Shares may be sold directly or through agents designated from time to time. We will name any agent involved in the offering and sale of such securities and we will describe any commissions paid to the agent in the prospectus supplement. Unless the prospectus supplement states otherwise, the agent will act on a best-efforts basis for the period of its appointment.
Underwriters, dealers and agents may be entitled to indemnification by us against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribution with respect to payments made by the underwriters, dealers or agents, under agreements between us and the underwriters, dealers and agents.
Underwriters who participate in the distribution of Registered Shares may be granted an option to purchase additional Registered Shares in connection with the distribution.
Underwriters, dealers or agents may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from us or our purchasers, as their agents in connection with the sale of securities. These underwriters, dealers or agents may be considered to be underwriters under the Securities Act. As a result, discounts, commissions or profits on resale received by the underwriters, dealers or agents may be treated as underwriting discounts and commissions. Each accompanying prospectus supplement will identify any such underwriter, dealer or agent and describe any compensation received by them from us. Any initial public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid to dealers may be changed from time to time.
In connection with sales of Registered Shares, the Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of Registered Shares in the course of hedging in positions they assume. The Selling Stockholders may also sell Registered Shares short and the Selling Stockholders may deliver Registered Shares covered by this prospectus to close out short positions and to return borrowed Registered Shares in connection with such short sales. The Selling Stockholders may also loan or pledge Registered Shares to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such Registered Shares, to the extent permitted by applicable law. The Selling Stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of Registered Shares offered by this prospectus, which Registered Shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
The Selling Stockholders may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the Registered Shares owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the Registered Shares from time to time pursuant to this prospectus or any amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act, amending, if necessary, the list of Selling Stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as Selling Stockholders under this prospectus. The Selling Stockholders may also transfer and donate Registered Shares in other circumstances in which case the transferees, donees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.
Any underwriter may engage in over-allotment transactions, stabilizing transactions, short-covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act.
Underwriters, broker-dealers or agents who may become involved in the sale of Registered Shares may engage in transactions with, and perform other services for, us in the ordinary course of their business for which they receive compensation.
In effecting sales, the Selling Stockholders may engage broker-dealers or agents, who may in turn arrange for other broker-dealers to participate. Broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions, discounts or concessions from the Selling Stockholders and/or from the purchasers of Registered Shares for whom the broker-dealers may act as agents or to whom they sell as principal, or both. The compensation to a particular broker-dealer may be in excess of customary commissions. To our knowledge, there is currently no plan, arrangement or understanding between any Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealer or agent regarding the sale of any Registered Shares by the Selling Stockholders.
The Selling Stockholders, any broker-dealers or agents and any participating broker-dealers that act in connection with the sale of the Registered Shares covered by this prospectus may be “underwriters” under the Securities Act with respect to those Registered Shares and will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. Any profit that the Selling Stockholders realize, and any compensation that any broker-dealer or agent may receive in connection with any sale, including any profit realized on resale of Registered Shares acquired as principal, may constitute underwriting discounts and commissions. If the Selling Stockholders are deemed to be underwriters, the Selling Stockholders may be subject to certain liabilities under statutes including, but not limited to, Section 11, 12 and 17 of the Securities Act and Section 10(b) and Rule 10b-5 under the Exchange Act.
The securities laws of some states may require the Selling Stockholders to sell the Registered Shares in those states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. These laws may also require that we register or qualify the Registered Shares for sale in those states unless an exemption from registration and qualification is available and the Selling Stockholders and we comply with that exemption. In addition, the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of Registered Shares in the market and to the activities of the Selling Stockholders and their affiliates. Regulation M may restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the Registered Shares to engage in market-making activities with respect to the Registered Shares. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the Registered Shares and the ability of any person to engage in market-making activities with respect to the Registered Shares.
If any Selling Stockholder notifies us that he has entered into any material arrangement with a broker-dealer for the sale of Registered Shares through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution, over-the-counter distribution or secondary distribution, or a purchase by a broker or dealer, we will file any necessary supplement to this prospectus to disclose:
- the number of Registered Shares involved in the arrangement;
- the terms of the arrangement, including the names of any underwriters, dealers or agents who purchase Registered Shares, as required;
- the proposed selling price to the public;
- any discount, commission or other underwriting compensation;
- the place and time of delivery for the Registered Shares being sold;
- any discount, commission or concession allowed, reallowed or paid to any dealers; and
- any other material terms of the distribution of Registered Shares.
In addition, if the Selling Stockholder notifies us that a donee, pledgee, transferee or other successor-in-interest of the Selling Stockholder intends to sell more than 500 securities, we will file a supplement to this prospectus, if required.
The validity of the Registered Shares being offered by this prospectus will be passed upon for us by Hogan Lovells US LLP, Tysons, Virginia.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Section 145 of the DGCL authorizes a court to award, or a corporation’s board of directors to grant, indemnity to directors and officers in terms sufficiently broad to permit such indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities, including reimbursement for expenses incurred, arising under the Securities Act.
Our charter provides that our directors shall not be liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the DGCL, as amended. Our bylaws provide for indemnification of our directors and officers to the maximum extent permitted by the DGCL.
We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our officers and directors. These agreements require us to indemnify our directors and officers for expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes and penalties and amounts paid in settlement) in any action or proceeding arising out of their services as one of our directors or officers or as a director or officer of any other company or enterprise to which the person provides services at our request. We believe that these charter and bylaw provisions and indemnification agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers.
Insofar as the foregoing provisions permit indemnification of directors, executive officers, or persons controlling us for liability arising under the Securities Act, we have been informed that, in the opinion of the Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Item 17. Undertakings
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Filing Fee Tables” or “Calculation of Registration Fee” table, as applicable, in the effective registration statement; and
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering;
(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:
(i) Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and
(ii) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5) or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii) or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which the prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date; and
(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in this registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
