Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our management team’s expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future, projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, and are not guarantees of future performance. The words “may,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “aim,” “strive,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “will” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. These statements may relate to, but are not limited to: expectations regarding our strategies and future financial performance, including future business plans or objectives, expected functionality of our geolocation services, anticipated timing and level of deployment of our services, including our TerraPoiNT and NextGen systems, anticipated demand and acceptance of our services, prospective performance and commercial opportunities and competitors; the timing of obtaining regulatory approvals, the achievement of certain Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) related milestones and FCC approvals, including with respect to the Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 7, 2024, we entered into with Telesaurus Holdings GP and Skybridge Spectrum Foundation, to acquire certain Multilateration Location and Monitoring Services licenses, and our petition for rulemaking filed with the FCC; our ability to finance our research and development activities, commercial partnership acquisition and retention, products and services, pricing, marketing plans, operating expenses, market trends, revenue, liquidity, cash flows and uses of cash, capital expenditures, and our ability to invest in growth initiatives; our ability to evolve our technology to be compatible with 5G New Radio technologies, and realize the technical benefits of such proposed evolution; our ability to realize the anticipated technical and business benefits associated with the acquisition of NextNav France, and any subsequent mergers, acquisitions, or other similar transactions, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, and the ability of the combined business to grow and manage growth profitably; factors relating to our future operations, projected capital resources and financial position, estimated revenue and losses, projected costs and capital expenditures, prospects and plans, including the potential increase in customers on our Pinnacle network, the expansion of our services in Japan through MetCom, Inc., and expectations about other international markets; our belief that continuing integration of our Pinnacle service into devices and applications will support revenue growth over the coming year; projections of market growth and size, including the level of market acceptance for our services; our ability to adequately protect key intellectual property rights or proprietary technology; our ability to maintain our Location and Monitoring Service (“LMS”) licenses and obtain additional LMS licenses as necessary; our ability to maintain adequate operational financial resources or raise additional capital or generate sufficient cash flows, including the adequacy of our financial resources to meet our operational and working capital requirements for the 12 month period following the issuance of this report and our ability to meet longer term expected future cash requirements and obligations; our ability to develop and maintain effective internal controls; our success in recruiting and/or retaining officers, key employees or directors; expansion plans and opportunities; costs related to being a public company; our ability to maintain the listing of our securities on Nasdaq; macroeconomic factors and their effects on our operations; and the outcome of any known and unknown litigation and regulatory proceedings, as well as assumptions relating to the foregoing.
Forward-looking statements are based on information available as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and current expectations, forecasts and assumptions, and involve a number of judgments, risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing our views as of any subsequent date, and we do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date they were made, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.
For additional information regarding risk factors, see Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, as well as those otherwise described or updated from time to time in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

NextNav INC.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025
1. Organization and Business
Principal Business
NextNav Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries (“NextNav” or the “Company”) is the market leader in delivering resilient, next generation, complementary positioning, navigation and timing (“PNT”) solutions designed to overcome the limitations and vulnerabilities of the existing space-based Global Positioning System (“GPS”) and Global Navigation Satellite Systems (“GNSS”). The Company is evolving its complementary PNT solutions to use 5G New Radio (“5G NR”) technologies (“NextGen”). The Company has filed a Petition for Rulemaking with the FCC to update and reconfigure the Lower 900 MHz band to facilitate a transition to 5G for its services. The Company expects the evolution of its platform to NextGen capability will significantly improve the efficiency, flexibility, and scale of its operations, enabling the delivery of high-quality PNT via a 5G broadband network. The NextGen solution is being designed to allow one or more partners to integrate the Company’s Lower 900 MHz spectrum into their 5G networks. The Company expects that this would result in wide-scale availability of both complementary PNT services and additional broadband capacity.
As the Company evolves its technology platform to NextGen and pursues regulatory changes to the Lower 900 MHz band and its spectrum licenses, it continues to deliver high-quality PNT services through its Pinnacle and TerraPoiNT solutions. The Pinnacle system provides an accurate altitude service and is primarily used for public safety applications, including enhanced 911 (“E911”) for Verizon and a growing number of devices operating on the remaining national cellular network providers. The TerraPoiNT system is a terrestrially based dedicated, complementary 3D PNT network designed to overcome the limitations inherent in the space-based nature of GPS. TerraPoiNT received the highest scores in testing by the U.S. Department of Transportation (“DoT”) 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. Continuing its engagement with the DoT, in 2024 the Company was awarded a contract to establish performance characteristics for TerraPoiNT to allow the DoT to incorporate its solutions into a clearinghouse of solutions defined in the DoT Complementary PNT Action Plan, for potential use by Federal government customers.
Since its inception, NextNav has incurred recurring losses and generated negative cash flows from operations and has primarily relied upon debt and equity financings to fund its cash requirements. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and
2024
, the Company incurred net losses of $
121.3
million and $
69.6
million, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and
2024
, net cash used in operating activities was $
34.7
million and $
26.1
million, respectively. As of September 30, 2025, cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities was $
167.6
million. The Company’s primary use of cash is to fund operations as NextNav continues to perform research and development and grow. The Company expects to incur additional losses and higher operating expenses for the foreseeable future, specifically as NextNav invests in ongoing research and development and its PNT networks.
Managing liquidity and the Company’s cash position is a priority of the Company. The Company continually works to optimize its expenses in light of the growth of its business and adapt to changes in the economic environment. The Company believes that its cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities as of September 30, 2025 will be sufficient to meet its working capital and capital expenditure needs, including all contractual commitments, beyond the next 12 months from the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The Company believes it will meet longer term expected future cash requirements and obligations through a combination of its existing cash and cash equivalents balances and marketable securities, cash flows from operations, and issuance of equity securities or debt offerings. However, this determination is based upon internal financial projections and is subject to changes in market and business conditions.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in these condensed consolidated financial statements.
Unaudited Interim Financial Information
The condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2025 are unaudited. These interim financial statements of NextNav have been prepared in accordance with U.S. General Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) and SEC instructions for interim financial information and should be read in conjunction with NextNav’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the “
2024
Form 10-K”), which the Company filed with the SEC on March 12, 2025.
6
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and reflect, in management’s opinion, all adjustments of a normal, recurring nature that are necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2025, results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and
2024
, and changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and
2024
, but are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year or any other period.
There have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies described in the
2024
Form 10-K that have had a material impact on these condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period and accompanying notes. These estimates include those related to the useful lives and recoverability of long-lived and intangible assets, valuation of common stock warrants, derivative liability-conversion option, income taxes and equity-based compensation, among others. NextNav bases estimates on historical experience, anticipated results and various other assumptions, including assumptions of future events, it believes are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets, liabilities, equity, revenue and expenses, that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results and outcomes could differ materially from these estimates and assumptions.
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities
Cash and cash equivalents include all cash in banks and highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased. The combined account balances held on deposit at each institution typically exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance coverage and, as a result, there is a concentration of credit risk related to amounts on deposit in excess of FDIC insurance coverage. The Company seeks to reduce this risk by maintaining such deposits with high quality financial institutions that management believes are creditworthy. Further, the Company seeks to minimize its exposure to banking risk by limiting the amount of uninsured deposits and investing its excess cash in U.S. government and government agency bonds, and money market funds.
The Company invests excess cash primarily in U.S. treasury bills and money market funds. The Company classifies all marketable securities that have stated maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase as cash equivalents, and those that have stated maturities of over three months as short-term investments on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company determines the appropriate classification of investments in marketable securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such designation at each balance sheet date. Marketable securities that are held for resale are classified as "trading securities" and are measured at fair value with the related gains and losses, including unrealized, recognized in interest expense, net. Marketable securities not classified as held to maturity or as trading securities are classified as "available-for-sale securities" and the fair value option (“FVO”) was elected, for which related gains and losses, including unrealized gains and losses and interest, are recognized in interest expense, net. The FVO election allows the Company to account for the marketable securities at fair value, which is consistent with the manner in which the instruments are managed. For the three months ended September 30, 2025 and
2024
, the Company recorded gains of $
1.6
million and $
0.1
million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and
2024
, the Company recorded gains of $
4.0
million and $
0.5
million, respectively. These gains resulted from fair value changes related to the FVO available-for-sale debt securities, which were recorded within interest expense, net, in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss.
Revenue
The following table presents the Company’s revenue disaggregated by category and source:

Contract Balances
Accounts receivable are billed and unbilled amounts related to the Company’s rights to consideration as performance obligations are satisfied when the rights to payment become unconditional but for the passage of time. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company’s accounts receivable balances were comprised of $
1.4
million and $
3.3
million, respectively. The Company assesses collectability by reviewing accounts receivable on a collective basis where similar characteristics exist and on an individual basis when the Company identifies specific customers with known disputes or collectability issues. In determining the amount of the allowance for credit losses, the Company considers historical collectability based on past due status and makes judgments about the creditworthiness of customers based on ongoing credit evaluations. The Company also considers customer-specific information, current market conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic condition. An allowance for credit losses for accounts receivable is recorded as an offset to accounts receivable, and changes in such are classified as selling, general and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss. As of both September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, all accounts receivable balances were current and no allowance for credit losses were recorded.
Contract liabilities relate to amounts billed in advance, or advance consideration received from customers, for which transfer of control of the good or service occurs at a later point in time. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company’s contract liabilities were $
422
thousand and $
288
thousand, respectively, and are recorded in deferred revenue in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Equity-Based Compensation
Measurement of equity-based compensation with employees is based on the estimated grant date fair value of the equity instruments issued. The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of restricted awards is based on the closing price of NextNav’s common stock on the date of grant. NextNav recognizes equity-based compensation on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the grant, which is generally equal to the vesting period. NextNav accounts for forfeitures as they occur.
The following details the amount of stock-based compensation included in cost of goods sold, research and development, and selling, general and administrative expenses:
| Three Months Ended September 30, | Nine Months Ended September 30, | |||||||

| Total stock-based compensation expense | $ | 4,565 | $ | 3,266 | $ | 12,539 | $ | 11,162 |
Basic and Diluted Net Income/Loss per Share
Basic income/loss per share (“EPS”) excludes dilution for common stock equivalents and is computed by dividing net loss available to stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Restricted shares are included in the computation of basic EPS as they vest.
Diluted EPS is computed using the weighted average number of shares and diluted potential shares outstanding to the extent the effect would not be antidilutive. Dilutive potential shares of common stock are additional shares of common stock assumed to be exercised determined using the treasury stock method or if-converted method. Adjustments to the numerator are made for diluted EPS, including reversal of mark-to-market (“MTM”) adjustments recognized in earnings related to private placement warrants and derivative liability, to the extent the combined effect of the numerator and denominator adjustments is dilutive.

Equity Method Investment
The Company applies the equity method of accounting to investments when it has significant influence, but not controlling interest, in the investee. Judgment regarding the level of influence over each equity method investment includes considering key factors such as ownership interest, representation on the board of directors, participation in policy-making decisions and material intercompany transactions.
The initial carrying value of equity method investment is based on the amount paid to purchase the interest in the investee entity. Subsequently, the investment is increased or decreased by the Company’s proportionate share in the investee’s earnings or losses and decreased by cash distributions from the investee. The Company eliminates from its financial results all significant intercompany transactions to the extent of its ownership interest, including the intercompany portion of transactions with equity method investee. The Company’s share of the investee’s income or loss is recorded on a one quarter lag.
The Company evaluates equity method investment for impairment based upon a comparison of the fair value of the equity method investment to its carrying value, when impairment indicators exist. If the Company determines a decline in the fair value of an equity method investment below its carrying value is other-than-temporary, an impairment is recorded.
Leases
NextNav leases office spaces under non-cancellable leases as well as site leases for towers and shelters under operating leases related to its network. Site leases are entered into throughout the United States under which NextNav receives the rights to install equipment used to transmit its services over its licensed spectrum. The Company, at the inception of the contract, determines whether a contract is or contains a lease based on assessment of the terms and conditions of the contract. The Company classifies leases with contractual terms longer than twelve months as either operating or finance. The Company has elected not to recognize lease assets and liabilities for its short-term leases, which are defined as leases with an initial term of twelve months or less.
9
The Company’s leases may include options to extend or terminate the lease. The option to renew may be automatic, at the option of NextNav or mutually agreed to between the landlord and NextNav. Lease terms include the non-cancellable term and periods under options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option.
The Company’s lease agreements generally contain lease and non-lease components. Payments under the lease arrangements are primarily fixed. Non-lease components primarily include payments for utilities and maintenance. The Company combines fixed payments for non-lease components with lease payments and accounts for them together as a single lease component which increases the amount of the Company’s lease assets and liabilities. Certain lease agreements contain variable payments, which are expensed as incurred and not included in the lease assets and liabilities. These amounts include payments for common area maintenance.
Lease assets and liabilities are recognized at the present value of the future lease payments at the lease commencement date. The interest rate used to determine the present value of the future lease payments is the Company’s incremental borrowing rate, because the interest rate implicit in the Company’s leases is not readily determinable. The Company’s incremental borrowing rate is estimated to approximate the interest rate on a collateralized basis with similar terms and payments, and in economic environments where the leased asset is located. Lease assets are reduced by landlord incentives, plus any direct costs from executing the leases or lease prepayments reclassified from “Other current assets” upon lease commencement. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Monthly rent expense includes any site related utility payments or other fees such as administrative or up-front fees contained in the lease agreements that are determinable upon execution of the lease agreement.
Property and Equipment and Network under Construction
Property and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation and network under construction are recorded at cost. Employee-related costs for construction of network assets are also capitalized during the construction phase. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs that do not materially extend the useful lives of property and equipment are charged to cost of goods sold (“COGS”) and selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) as incurred. When property or equipment is retired or otherwise disposed of, the related property accounts are relieved of costs and accumulated depreciation and any resulting gain or loss is included in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss.
Depreciation and Amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
| Pinnacle and TerraPoiNT network assets | 5–8 years |
|---|---|
| Office equipment, furniture and internal use software | 2–5 years |
| Leasehold improvements | Shorter of the useful life or lease term |
| Acquired finite-lived intangible assets | 12 years |
Certain decommissioned network assets were retired in 2025 as the Company evolves its technology platform to NextGen. The Company recorded $
2.2
million of accelerated depreciation expense on these assets as depreciation and amortization in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2025. No assets were retired in 2024.
Acquired finite-lived intangible assets
Acquired finite-lived intangible assets primarily includes proprietary technology and software. See Note 4 — Intangibles.
Indefinite-Lived Intangible assets
NextNav holds wireless Multilateration Location and Monitoring Service (“LMS”) licenses. Certain general regulatory requirements apply to some of the licensed wireless spectrum held by NextNav, including, for example, certain build-out or “substantial service” requirements, which generally must be satisfied as a condition to the license. NextNav is actively engaged in either meeting such requirements currently or seeking an extension of such requirements from the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) for each of its LMS licenses subjected to the requirements. Although licenses are issued by the FCC for only a fixed time, ten years, such licenses are subject to renewal by the FCC, based on the achievement of certain milestones and a finding that such renewal would serve the public interest. Upon renewal, the licenses are granted for additional ten-year periods. Renewal of NextNav’s licenses has occurred previously and at nominal cost. As a result, NextNav treats its wireless LMS spectrum licenses as an indefinite-lived intangible asset. NextNav reevaluates the useful life determination for wireless licenses each year to determine whether events and circumstances continue to support an indefinite useful life. Costs incurred to maintain the FCC licenses are recorded in operating expenses.
10
NextNav assesses indefinite-lived intangible assets for potential impairment annually as of October 1 or during the year if an event or other circumstance indicates that NextNav may not be able to recover the carrying amount of the asset. In evaluating indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment, NextNav first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the asset is less than its carrying amount. If NextNav concludes that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the asset is less than its carrying value, then no further testing is required. However, if NextNav concludes that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the asset is less than its carrying value, then NextNav performs a two-step impairment test to identify potential impairment and measures the amount of impairment it will recognize, if any.
No impairment of indefinite-lived intangible assets was recorded during both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment annually in the fourth quarter or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset may be impaired. The Company operates as one reporting unit. When testing goodwill for impairment, the Company may first perform an optional qualitative assessment. If the Company determines it is not more likely than not the reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying value, then no further analysis is necessary. If the Company determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of its reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then the quantitative impairment test will be performed. Under the quantitative impairment test, if the carrying amount of the Company’s reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the Company will recognize an impairment loss in an amount equal to that excess but limited to the total amount of goodwill. No goodwill impairment was recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and for the year ended December 31, 2024. The following summarizes the Company's goodwill activities:
| Nine Months Ended September 30, | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |||
| (in thousands) | ||||
| Beginning Balance | $ | 16,966 | $ | 17,977 |
| Changes in foreign exchange rates | 2,133 | 208 | ||
| Ending Balance | $ | 19,099 | $ | 18,185 |
11
Acquisitions
The Company accounts for its acquisitions using the acquisition method of accounting. The purchase price is attributed to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets and liabilities acquired or assumed are measured separately at their fair values as of the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price of acquisition over the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the acquiree is recorded as goodwill. The results of businesses acquired are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.
When the Company issues stock-based or cash awards to an acquired company’s stockholders, the Company evaluates whether the awards are consideration or compensation for post-acquisition services. The evaluation includes, among other things, whether the vesting of the awards is contingent on the continued employment of the acquired company’s stockholders beyond the acquisition date. If continued employment is required for vesting, the awards are treated as compensation for post-acquisition services and recognized as expense over the requisite service period.
Determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires management to use significant judgment and estimates, including the selection of valuation methodologies, estimates of future revenue and cash flows, discount rates, and selection of comparable companies. The estimates and assumptions used to determine the fair values and useful lives of identified intangible assets could change due to numerous factors, including market conditions, technological developments, economic conditions, and competition. During the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, the Company may record adjustments to the fair value of these tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill. In addition, uncertain tax positions, tax-related valuation allowances and pre-acquisition contingencies are initially recorded as of the acquisition date. The Company continues to collect information and reevaluates these estimates and assumptions quarterly and records any adjustments to the Company’s preliminary estimates to goodwill provided that the Company is within the measurement period. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the fair value of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. In connection with the determination of fair values, the Company may engage a third-party valuation specialist to assist with the valuation of intangible and certain tangible assets acquired and certain assumed obligations.
Long term debt
The carrying value of long-term debt in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets generally consists of principal amount of debt, net of debt discounts. The Company evaluates its debt agreements to determine whether debt contains embedded features requiring bifurcation from the debt host in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 815, Derivatives and Hedging ("ASC 815"). If an embedded feature requires bifurcation from its debt host, the Company will account for it as a derivative at fair value. If a hybrid instrument has multiple embedded derivatives requiring bifurcation, the Company will bifurcate a single compound derivative. The Company uses valuation models to estimate the fair value of the bifurcated embedded derivatives. Debt discounts recognized as a result of allocating proceeds to bifurcated embedded derivatives as well as accounting for direct debt issuance costs are amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method.
The fair value of bifurcated derivatives is presented in the same line item as debt in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Unamortized debt discounts are written off and included in the Company’s gain or loss calculations to the extent the Company extinguishes debt prior to the original maturity.
12
Foreign Currency Translation
The functional currency of NextNav’s foreign subsidiaries is generally the local currency. Assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect at the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet date. Operating accounts are translated at an average rate of exchange for the respective accounting periods. Translation adjustments resulting from the process of translating foreign currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Transaction gains and losses reflected in the functional currencies are charged to income or expense at the time of the transaction.
Net transaction gains (losses) from foreign currency contracts recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss were immaterial for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and
2024
. The only component of other comprehensive loss is currency translation adjustments for all periods presented. No income tax expense was allocated to the currency translation adjustments.
Segments
NextNav operates as one operating segment. NextNav’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is its Chief Executive Officer, who reviews financial information presented on an entity-wide basis for purposes of making operating decisions, assessing financial performance and allocating resources.
Recent Accounting Developments Not Yet Adopted
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”). ASU 2023-09 is effective for the Company's annual periods beginning January 1, 2026 with early adoption permitted, and requires the Company to disclose additional information on the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The Company has not yet adopted ASU 2023-09 and is currently evaluating the potential effect that the updated standard will have on the financial statement disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income — Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)— Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”), which requires disclosure in the notes to the financial statements of specified information about certain costs and expenses. ASU 2024-03 is effective for the Company's annual periods beginning January 1, 2027, on a prospective basis, with early adoption and retrospective application permitted. The Company has not yet adopted ASU 2024-03 and is currently evaluating the potential effect of the adoption on its consolidated financial statements.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other — Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40)— Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which amends the criteria used to begin capitalizing software costs. ASU 2025-06 is effective for the Company's annual periods beginning January 1, 2028, with early adoption and prospective, modified retrospective and retrospective applications permitted. The Company has not yet adopted ASU 2025-06 and is currently evaluating the potential effect of the adoption on its consolidated financial statements.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

5. Asset Purchase Agreement
On March 7,
2024
, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary Progeny LMS, LLC entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with Telesaurus Holdings GB and Skybridge Spectrum Foundation to acquire (1) certain Multilateration Location and Monitoring Service licenses (the “M-LMS Licenses”) issued by the FCC and (2) rights to a petition for reconsideration, dated December 20,
2017
, which, if granted, may reinstate additional M-LMS Licenses owned by the sellers and terminated by the FCC in
2017
(the "Transaction"). The consideration for the Transaction was as follows:
| | $2.5 million in cash consideration within 30 days of the approval of the Transaction by the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Alameda (the “Alameda Court Approval”); |
|---|---|
| | $7.5 million in shares of NextNav common stock on the earlier of the approval by the FCC of the application seeking the transfer and assignment of the M-LMKS Licenses to the Company (the “FCC Approval”) or, if no action has been taken by the FCC, November 15, 2024 (payable regardless of whether the closing of the Transaction occurs (the “Closing”) (“First Noncash Consideration”); and |
| | $20.0 million in shares of NextNav common stock within 30 days of the assignment of the M-LMS Licenses at Closing, contingent upon FCC Approval (the “Closing Consideration”). |
On March 28,
2024
, the Company received the Alameda Court Approval and made a cash payment of $
2.5
million in April
2024
. The Company also recognized a liability and asset of $
9.8
million as of March 31,
2024
with respect to the fair value of shares expected to be issued (based on a 20-day volume weighted average price of $
5.04
and share price of $
6.58
) equivalent to the $
7.5
million First Noncash Consideration, as the payment obligation was based upon passage of time and was not contingent. On November 15,
2024
, the Company settled the First Noncash Consideration liability by issuing
620,106
shares of NextNav common stock (based on a 20-day volume weighted average price of $
12.09
), which had a fair value of $
8.8
million (based on a share price of $
14.22
upon issuance) that resulted in a gain of $
1.0
million, which is recorded in other income (loss), net in the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2024, as a result of the difference between the fair value of the shares issued on November 15,
2024
and the fair value of the shares that were expected to be issued for the First Noncash Consideration liability based on the 20-day volume-weighted average price on March 31,
2024
.
On June 20,
2025
, the FCC issued a Memorandum and Order consenting to the assignment of
128
M-LMS licenses pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement. Subsequently, an application for review was filed by a party with interests in terminated M-LMS licenses not related to this transaction. The Company filed a response to the application for review on August 4,
2025
and no further applications or objections were filed.
The Transaction closed on September 19,
2025
(“Closing”). In connection with the Closing, the Company issued
1,194,820
shares of common stock equivalent to the $20 million Closing Consideration.
Prior to Closing, the Company had a total of $
12.6
million related to the Asset Purchase Agreement recognized within other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet, which was comprised of the $
2.5
million cash consideration, $
0.3
million in qualifying direct transaction costs, and $
9.8
million related to the First Noncash Consideration.
Upon Closing, the Company:
Released the prepaid consideration of $
12.6
million from other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet; and Recognized the acquired M-LMS Licenses as intangible assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at a value of $
33.0
million, which was comprised of (i) $
12.6
million prepaid consideration and (ii) $
20.4
million related to the fair value of shares issued for Closing Consideration (based on closing date share price of $
17.07
)
The acquired M-LMS Licenses are classified as indefinite-lived intangible assets in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company reevaluates the useful life determination for wireless licenses each year to determine whether events and circumstances continue to support an indefinite useful life. See Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.
The Asset Purchase Agreement provides for additional contingent consideration in the amount of $20 million, payable in shares of NextNav common stock. Payment of this additional consideration is contingent upon the FCC granting additional flexibility in the use of M-LMS spectrum, including the M-LMS spectrum covered by the acquired M-LMS Licenses. On April 16,
2024
, the Company petitioned the FCC to commence a rule making to reconfigure and update the rules governing the Lower
900
MHz band plan to allow additional flexibility in the use of M-LMS spectrum (the “Petition”). The FCC’s review of the Petition is pending.
6. Equity Method Investment
As of September 30, 2025, the Company’s total ownership of MetCom Inc., a privately-owned Japanese joint stock company (kabushiki kaisha) (“MetCom”), consisted of
702,334
shares representing ownership of
14.8
%. The Company provides licenses to its technology, infrastructure and subscriber equipment to MetCom to support MetCom’s efforts in commercializing terrestrial positioning technology (both TerraPoiNT and Pinnacle) in Japan. Due to the technological dependencies, the Company’s equity ownership and representation on MetCom’s board of directors, the Company has significant influence, but not controlling interest, over MetCom. The Company’s investment in MetCom is accounted for under the equity method. The basis difference in the Company’s cost basis and the basis reflected at the investee entity level is allocated to equity method goodwill and is not amortized. The Company recognized a loss of $ 45 thousand and $37 thousand in the three months ended September 30, 2025 and
2024
, respectively, that is recorded in other loss, net. The Company recognized a loss of $
119
thousand and $
118
thousand in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and
2024
, respectively. The carrying value of the Company’s investment in MetCom was $
411
thousand and $
530
thousand as of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively, and is classified in other long-term assets. The Company had $14 thousand and $13 thousand in accounts receivable from MetCom as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The Company holds a warrant (the “MetCom Warrant”) issued by MetCom which entitles the Company to purchase additional shares at an exercise price of JPY10 per share, such that the Company may obtain an aggregate total of 33% of MetCom common stock on an “as-converted” basis. The MetCom Warrant is subject to certain vesting conditions which were not met as of September 30, 2025; therefore, the MetCom Warrant was not exercisable.

7. Fair Value
NextNav uses observable and unobservable inputs to determine the value of its assets and liabilities recorded at fair value. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect internal market assumptions. The three-tier hierarchy for inputs used to measure fair value, which prioritizes the inputs used in the methodologies of measuring fair value for assets and liabilities, where applicable, is as follows:
Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities
Level 3 — No observable pricing inputs in the market
Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements. NextNav’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurements requires judgment and may affect the valuation of the assets and liabilities being measured and their placement within the fair value hierarchy. NextNav effectuates transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy, if any, as of the date of the actual circumstance that caused the transfer.
The following table presents the Company’s fair value hierarchy for its financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| (in thousands) | ||||||||
| September 30, 2025 | ||||||||
| Cash and Cash Equivalents - Money Market Funds | $ | 1,158 | $ | — | $ | — | $ | 1,158 |
| Cash and Cash Equivalents – Available-for-sale debt securities with fair value option election | — | 86,207 | — | 86,207 | ||||
| Short term investments – Available-for-sale debt securities with fair value option election | — | 77,583 | — | 77,583 | ||||
| Private Placement Warrants | — | — | 25,460 | 25,460 | ||||
| Derivative Liability - Conversion Option | — | — | 75,057 | 75,057 | ||||
| December 31, 2024 | ||||||||
| Cash and Cash Equivalents - Money Market Funds | $ | 151 | $ | — | $ | — | $ | 151 |
| Cash and Cash Equivalents - Available-for-sale debt securities with fair value option election | — | 34,485 | — | 34,485 | ||||
| Short term investments - Available-for-sale debt securities with fair value option election | — | 40,785 | — | 40,785 | ||||
| Private Placement Warrants | $ | — | $ | — | $ | 28,707 | $ | 28,707 |
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, accrued expenses, amounts included in other current assets, and current liabilities that meet the definition of a financial instrument, approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. The total estimated fair value of the
2028
Notes was $
165.4
million as of September 30, 2025.
Assets, liabilities, and equity instruments that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include fixed assets and intangible assets. The Company recognizes these items at fair value when they are considered to be impaired or upon initial recognition. The fair value of these assets and liabilities are determined with valuation techniques using the best information available and may include quoted market prices, market comparables and discounted cash flow models.
16
Level 3 Liabilities
Private Placement Warrants
The Company engaged a third-party valuation firm to assist with the fair value analysis of the Private Placement Warrants (as defined below). The analysis used commonly accepted valuation methodologies and best practices to determine the fair value of the equity, in accordance with fair value standards and U.S. GAAP. For the Private Placement Warrants that were outstanding as of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, NextNav used a Monte Carlo simulation model. The following table shows the assumptions used in each respective model:
| September 30, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Values | Values | |||||
| Stock price | $ | 14.30 | $ | 15.56 | ||
| Strike Price | $ | 11.50 | $ | 11.50 | ||
| Holding Period/Term (years) | 1.07 | 1.82 | ||||
| Volatility | 89.65 | % | 55.90 | % | ||
| Expected dividends | None | None | ||||
| Risk-free rate | 3.67 | % | 4.23 | % | ||
| Fair value of warrants | $ | 6.31 | $ | 6.77 |
The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of the Private Placement Warrants is expected volatility. Holding other inputs constant, an increase (decrease) in expected volatility would have resulted in a higher (lower) fair value measurement, respectively.
The table below provides a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances for the Private Placement Warrants measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3).

| Balance as of December 31, 2024 | $ | 28,707 |
| Fair value adjustment of Private Placement Warrants | (2,006) | |
| Reclassification of warrant liability to common stock warrants | (1,241) | |
| Balance as of September 30, 2025 | $ | 25,460 |

Derivative Liability-Conversion Option
The
2028
Notes (as defined below) contain an embedded conversion feature that is required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately from the
2028
Notes as a derivative liability. The fair value of the conversion option was determined using a binomial lattice valuation model and a “with-and-without” valuation methodology. The derivative liability related to the
2028
Notes conversion option was measured at March 12,
2025
(agreement date of
2028
Notes, see Note 8 - Long term debt) and September 30, 2025 and contained the following assumptions:
| September 30, | March 12, | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2025 | |||||
| Stock price volatility (transaction calibrated) | 27.5 | % | 20.4 | % | ||
| Expected term | 2.7 | years | 3.3 | years | ||
| Stock price | $ | 14.30 | $ | 10.27 | ||
| Risk-free interest rate | 3.6 | % | 4.0 | % | ||
| Credit rate | CCC- | CCC- | ||||
| Debt yield (transaction-calibrated) | 11.9 | % | 12.7 | % |
The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of the conversion option is expected volatility. Holding other inputs constant, an increase (decrease) in expected volatility would have resulted in a higher (lower) fair value measurement, respectively.
The table below provides a summary of the changes in fair value of the Company's
2028
Notes conversion option derivative liability accounted for as liabilities using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):
| (in thousands) | ||
|---|---|---|
| Balance as of December 31, 2024 | $ | — |
| Initial recognition of derivative liability | 31,999 | |
| Fair value adjustment of derivative liability* | 43,058 | |
| Balance as of September 30, 2025 | $ | 75,057 |
* Includes $
6.7
million change in estimate related to initial recognition of derivative liability.
The sensitivity of the fair value calculation to these methods, assumptions, and estimates included could create materially different results under different conditions or using different assumptions.

8. Long term debt, net
2026 Notes and related warrants
The Company issued a total of $70 million of senior secured notes (the “
2026
Notes”) with a fixed interest rate of 10% to a group of lenders during
2023
. The terms of the
2026
Notes provide that they will mature on December 1, 2026 with interest payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year. The Company may elect, in its sole discretion, to pay up to 50% of the accrued and unpaid interest on the
2026
Notes due with its common stock.
In conjunction with the issuance of
2026
Notes, the Company issued
25,925,927
warrants at an exercise price of $
2.16
per share to purchase Company’s common stock to the
2026
Notes holders (the “
2026
Warrants”). The Company had the right to redeem for cash the applicable pro rata portion of any
2026
Warrant on each of May 1,
2025
, September 1,
2025
and December 1,
2025
, in each case, at a redemption price of $
0.01
per share of underlying common stock, where there exists both a Funding Shortfall (as defined in the form of
2026
Warrant) and the market price of the underlying common stock, calculated in accordance with the provisions of the form of warrants, exceeded
130
% of the exercise price of the warrants.
2028 Notes and related warrants
On March 12,
2025
, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the “NPA”), among the Company and certain purchasers named therein (the “Purchasers”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to (i) sell to the Purchasers, in a private placement (the “Private Placement”), pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of
1933
, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Regulation D promulgated thereunder, $
190
million in aggregate principal amount of its
5.00
% Senior Secured Convertible Notes due
2028
(the “
2028
Notes”) and (ii) issue to certain of the purchasers, common stock purchase warrants (the “
2028
Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of
7,800,000
shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $
0.0001
per share, with exercise prices ranging from $
12.56
to $
20.00
per share.
On March 27,
2025
(the “Closing Date”), in connection with the Private Placement, the Company entered into (i) an indenture (the “Indenture”), among the Company, certain subsidiaries of the Company named therein as notes guarantors (the “Guarantors”) and GLAS Trust Company, LLC, as trustee and notes collateral agent (“GLAS Trust”), (ii) a security agreement (the “Security Agreement”), among the Company, the Guarantors and GLAS Trust and (iii) a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), among the Company and the Purchasers. On March 27,
2025
, the Company also issued the
2028
Warrants to certain of the Purchasers.
The
2028
Notes will mature on June 30, 2028 with interest payable in cash semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year at 5% per annum.
The Purchasers may, at any time, elect to convert some or all of the
2028
Notes into a number of shares of common stock equal to (i) the sum of the then-outstanding principal amount of
2028
Notes to be converted plus all accrued and unpaid interest to the date of the conversion divided by (ii) the then-applicable conversion price. The initial conversion price was set at
79.6178
shares per $
1,000
principal and is subjected to adjustment based on standard antidilution provisions. Upon conversion, the Company is required to deliver to the Purchasers shares of common stock and no alternative settlement methods are permitted.
19
The Company may redeem the
2028
Notes, in whole or in part, at any time on or after March 27,
2026
at a redemption price equal to
100
% of the principal amount of such
2028
Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if the last reported sale price of common stock is greater than or equal to
160
% of the conversion price for the
2028
Notes for at least 20 trading days during any 30 consecutive trading day period.
Upon the closing of the Private Placement, the Company used a portion of the net proceeds from the Private Placement to redeem all of the
2026
Notes, at a redemption price of
101
% of the principal amount of the
2026
Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest.
The Company recognized a $
14.4
million loss on the early extinguishment of the
2026
Notes during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The loss on extinguishment of the
2026
Notes was determined based on the difference between reacquisition price and the net carrying amount of the
2026
Notes.
The terms of the
2026
Warrants were not modified or impacted by the Private Placement and the subsequent redemption of the
2026
Notes.
In conjunction with the issuance of the
2028
Notes, the Company issued the
2028
Warrants to two lead investors, who were non-
2026
Notes lenders to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock with exercise prices ranging from $
12.56
to $
20.00
per share. The aggregated fair value of the
2028
Warrants was $
9.0
million on the issuance date and presented as “additional paid-in capital” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, with an offset entry recorded in other loss, net in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. The fair value of the
2028
Warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on non-observable pricing inputs (e.g., expected volatility) in the market and is categorized accordingly as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
As part of the NPA, an entity affiliated with Fortress Investment Group LLC ("Fortress"), a 10% or greater stockholder of the Company and one of the lead investors, purchased $50 million in
2028
Notes and received
3,900,000
warrants. Additionally, an entity affiliated with Neil S. Subin, a director of the Company, purchased $
6.3
million of the
2028
Notes.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the interest expense related to these notes was $
625
thousand and $
1,278
thousand, respectively, for the entity affiliated with Fortress, and $79 thousand and $
161
thousand, respectively, for the entity affiliated with Neil S. Subin. As of September 30, 2025, the accrued interest expense related to these notes was $
833
thousand for the entity affiliated with Fortress and $
105
thousand for the entity affiliated with Neil S. Subin.
The Company agreed to file a registration statement under the Securities Act registering the resale of the
2028
Warrants, the shares of common stock underlying the
2028
Warrants and the conversion option of the
2028
Notes within 35 business days of the Closing Date. The Company filed such registration statement with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 25,
2025
, which the SEC declared effective on May 2,
2025
.
The Company determined that the conversion option embedded within the
2028
Notes required bifurcation as a derivative liability under ASC
815
. For the valuation to record the debt and embedded derivative related to the conversion option at fair value, the Company used a binomial lattice valuation model and a “with-and-without” valuation methodology at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. This model incorporates inputs such as the stock price of the Company, risk-free interest rate, the transaction-calibrated debt yield and expected volatility. Certain inputs (e.g., expected volatility) involve unobservable inputs and are classified as level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. See Note 7 – Fair Value. The sensitivity of the fair value calculation to these methods, assumptions, and estimates included could create materially different results under different conditions or using different assumptions. Further, the Company determined that contingent interest features require bifurcation and therefore, bifurcated these embedded derivatives, along with the conversion option, from the debt host as a single, compound derivative liability. The Company determined the likelihood of the occurrence of events requiring payment under the contingent interest features to be remote and therefore, determined their value to be de minimis. The fair value of derivative liability was $
75.1
million and was included in long term debt in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2025.
The carrying value of the
2028
Notes was $
155.1
million as of September 30, 2025, net of unamortized debt discount of $
34.9
million and was included in long-term debt in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
20
As of September 30, 2025, the effective interest rate of the
2028
Notes was 13%.
The Company recognized interest expense associated with the
2028
Notes as follows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. No interest expense recognized for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 associated with the
2028
Notes.
| Three Months Ended | Nine Months Ended | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| September 30, | September 30, | |||
| 2025 | 2025 | |||
| Contractual interest expense | $ | 2,375 | $ | 4,856 |
| Amortization of debt discounts | 2,603 | 5,234 | ||
| Interest expense – 2028 Notes | $ | 4,978 | $ | 10,090 |
Debt Covenant Compliance

9. Warrants and Warrant Liability
As of September 30, 2025, NextNav had
37,182,036
warrants outstanding, which includes: (a)
14,715,170
public warrants associated with Spartacus Acquisition Corp.’s (“Spartacus”) initial public offering (the “Public Warrants”), (b)
4,034,790
warrants issued to Spartacus in a private placement on the initial public offering closing date (the “Private Placement Warrants”), (c)
10,632,076
2026
Warrants (as further described in Note 8) and (d)
7,800,000
2028
Warrants (as further described in Note 8).
The Private Placement Warrants are classified as a liability on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2025. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, zero and
205,402
Private Placement Warrants were reclassified from liability to equity (Public Warrants), respectively. The terms included in the Private Warrants that initially precluded equity classification were no longer applicable. Accordingly, the Company reclassified $
1.2
million from warrant liability to additional paid-in capital in its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2025.
Holders of the Public Warrants, Private Placement Warrants,
2026
Warrants and
2028
Warrants are entitled to acquire shares of common stock of NextNav. With respect to the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants, each whole warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one share at an exercise price of $
11.50
per share. The Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants expire on October 28, 2026.
NextNav has the right to redeem the outstanding Public Warrants in whole and not in part at a price of $
0.01
per warrant upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption, if and only if the last sales price of the Company’s common stock matched or exceeded $
18.00
per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which NextNav sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.
The Private Placement Warrants are identical in all respects to the Public Warrants except that, so long as they are held by the current holder or its permitted transferees: (i) they will not be redeemable by NextNav; (ii) they may be exercised by the holders on a cashless basis; and (iii) they are subject to registration rights.
10. Common Stock
As of September 30, 2025, NextNav had authorized the issuance of

11. Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation and Legal Matters
From time to time, the Company is party to litigation and other legal matters incidental to the conduct of its business. Such matters are subject to many uncertainties and outcomes are not predictable with assurance. The Company accrues liabilities for such matters when it is probable that future expenditures will be made and such expenditures can be reasonably estimated. As of September 30, 2025, the Company was not involved in any such matters, individually or in the aggregate, which management believes would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
12. Income Taxes
The Company computes its year-to-date provision for income taxes by applying the estimated annual effective tax rate to year-to-date pretax income or loss and adjusts the provision for discrete tax items recorded in the period. A valuation allowance has been established against the Company’s U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets as well as its French deferred tax assets, which results in an annualized effective tax rate for both the Company’s U.S. and French operations of
0.0
%. For the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $46 thousand primarily related to foreign tax activity in India on a pretax income of $
0.5
million, resulting in an effective tax rate of
8.70
%. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $26 thousand primarily related to foreign tax activity in India on a pretax loss of $
13.6
million, resulting in an effective tax rate of (
0.2
)%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $
146
thousand related to foreign tax activity in India on a pretax loss of $
121.1
million, resulting in an effective tax rate of (
0.12
)%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $
138
thousand related to foreign tax activity on a pretax loss of $
69.5
million, resulting in an effective tax rate of (
0.2
)%. These effective tax rates differ from the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to the valuation allowance against the Company’s domestic and French deferred tax assets.

13. Segments
NextNav operates as one operating segment. Information on the Company’s products and service offerings are included in Note 1 - Organization and Business. The accounting policies of the single operating segment are the same as those described in Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.
NextNav’s CODM is its Chief Executive Officer, who reviews financial information presented on an entity-wide basis for purposes of making operating decisions, assessing financial performance, and allocating resources.
The CODM assesses performance and decides how to allocate resources based on consolidated net loss that also is reported on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss. Consolidated net loss is used to monitor budget versus actual results and in the annual budgeting and forecasting process. The measure of segment assets is reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as total consolidated assets. The CODM reviews cash flow forecasts in making capital and investment decisions. The CODM considers budget-to-actual variances in consolidated net loss monthly in determining performance and the compensation of employees.
NextNav did not have any intra-entity sales or transfers during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and
2024
.

Overview
We are the market leader in delivering resilient, next generation, complementary positioning, navigation and timing (“PNT”) solutions designed to overcome the limitations and vulnerabilities of the existing space-based Global Positioning System (“GPS”) and Global Navigation Satellite Systems (“GNSS”). We are evolving our complementary PNT solutions to use 5G New Radio (“5G NR”) technologies (“NextGen”). We have filed a Petition for Rulemaking with the FCC to update and reconfigure the Lower 900 MHz band to facilitate a transition to 5G for its services. We expect the evolution of our platform to NextGen capability will significantly improve the efficiency, flexibility, and scale of our operations, enabling the delivery of high-quality PNT via a 5G broadband network. Our NextGen solution is being designed to allow one or more partners to integrate our Lower 900 MHz spectrum into their 5G networks. We expect that this would result in wide-scale availability of both complementary PNT services and additional broadband capacity. We have been granted 165 patents related to our systems and services, and standardized certain of our technologies with the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), a global telecommunications standards-setting body.
Our complementary PNT solutions are built on a deep asset base, including valuable FCC licenses. Our licenses include a contiguous 8 MHz block of 900 MHz M-LMS spectrum covering over 90% of the U.S. population, and on March 7, 2024, we signed an agreement, subject to appropriate regulatory approvals, to acquire an additional 4 MHz of M-LMS licenses covering part of the U.S. population. On June 20, 2025, the FCC issued a Memorandum and Order consenting to the assignment of these licenses. The Transaction closed on September 19, 2025. For more information, refer to Note 5 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
On April 16, 2024, we petitioned the FCC to commence a rulemaking to reconfigure and update the rules governing the Lower 900 MHz band plan to allow us to utilize a 15 MHz nationwide spectrum configuration for both PNT and 5G broadband (“Petition”). The Petition is subject to an ongoing FCC regulatory review process. We believe that modernizing the Lower 900 MHz band will simultaneously enable a high-quality terrestrial PNT network to complement and back up GPS, address a critical national security vulnerability, and add 5G broadband capacity.
The impact of GPS on the U.S. economy was nearly $1.4 trillion in the aggregate between 1984 and 2017, according to data from a National Institute of Standards and Technology (“NIST”)-sponsored study conducted by RTI International (“RTI”), and the European Commission estimated the annual impact on the economy of the European Union in its 2018 budget process as EUR1.2 trillion. The usage of GPS services is also rapidly expanding, with its presence in devices in the U.S. increasing from 600 million devices to 900 million devices between 2015 and 2019, according to information presented to the National Space-Based PNT Advisory Board by the National Coordination Office for Space-Based PNT. PNT resiliency is a priority of the U.S. Federal Government and is rising in priority in the European Union, non-European Union 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. 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. The Department of Homeland Security has also classified the PNT vulnerabilities from GPS as cyber security threats, and the U.S. Department of Transportation (“DoT”) has also outlined a Complementary PNT Action Plan, among other key federal initiatives. Higher performance and availability will continue to expand the reach and value of PNT solutions, while terrestrial resilience is essential to protect the vast economic activity that is reliant on GPS.
Simultaneously, demand for wireless data services continues to grow. The backbone of wireless data services, electromagnetic spectrum, is a finite resource. Our spectrum licenses, which lie in the Lower 900 MHz band, are referred to as “low-band spectrum.” There is a finite amount of low-band spectrum available, and low-band spectrum has favorable coverage characteristics compared to higher frequencies, including the ability to provide services indoors and over greater distances. These characteristics result in its ability to be used for coverage and to be deployed more economically, with higher-frequency spectrum often used to provide additional capacity in targeted locations. The transition to 5G NR for our PNT services will provide a technical capability to support broadband data services, which, subject to appropriate regulatory approvals, may allow the spectrum to be utilized to help meet the continued, growing demand for wireless data capacity.
As we evolve our technology platform to NextGen and pursue regulatory changes to the Lower 900 MHz band and our spectrum licenses, we continue to deliver high-quality PNT services through our Pinnacle and TerraPoiNT solutions. Our Pinnacle solution, launched in partnership with AT&T Services, Inc. (“AT&T”) as part of its FirstNet® initiative, can provide accurate altitude service to any device with a barometric pressure sensor and covers over 90% of commercial structures over three stories in the U.S. Our Pinnacle system is primarily used for public safety applications, including enhanced 911 (“E911”) for Verizon Communications, Inc. (“Verizon”), and a growing number of devices operating on the remaining national cellular network providers.

Our TerraPoiNT system is a terrestrially based dedicated, complementary PNT 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 wide-area location transmitters that broadcast a PNT signal on our licensed Lower 900 MHz M-LMS spectrum. Unlike GPS, the TerraPoiNT signal can be reliably received indoors and in urban areas, is difficult to jam or spoof compared to GPS, and can support signal authentication (e.g., encryption). Further, the TerraPoiNT signal can embed Pinnacle information to provide a full three-dimensional PNT solution. TerraPoiNT received the highest scores in testing by the DoT 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. Continuing our engagement with the DoT, in 2024 we were awarded a contract to establish performance characteristics for TerraPoiNT to allow DoT to incorporate our solutions into a clearinghouse of solutions defined in the DoT Complementary PNT Action Plan, for potential use by Federal government customers.
Macroeconomic Factors
A federal government shutdown could delay administrative processes that support certain aspects of our business. While we do not expect material impact from short-term disruptions, extended shutdowns may affect the timing of planned initiatives that depend on government action. We continue to monitor developments and adjust execution timelines as appropriate.
Key Components of Results of Operations
Revenue
We have generated limited revenue since our inception. We derive our revenue from PNT products and services. Our revenue includes revenue generated through services contracts with wireless carriers, services with applications developers, technology demonstration, assessment and support contracts with government customers, sales of equipment, and licensing of proprietary technology. We recognize revenue when an arrangement exists, services, equipment or access to licensed technology are delivered, the transaction price is determined, the arrangement has commercial substance, and collection of consideration is probable.
Operating Expense
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold (“COGS”) consist of personnel-related expenses, including salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation, and allocated facility costs for our operations and manufacturing teams. COGS also includes expenses for site leases, cost of equipment, software license costs, including cloud hosting costs, and professional services related to the maintenance of the equipment at each leased site. Our COGS may increase for the foreseeable future as we continue to invest in our PNT technologies in domestic U.S. and international markets.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses consist of personnel-related expenses, including salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation, and allocated facility costs for our research and development functions. Research and development costs also include outside professional services for software and hardware development, and software license costs, including cloud hosting costs. We expect our research and development costs to increase for the foreseeable future as we continue to invest in research and development for our current and future products, including our NextGen platform.
25
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses consist of personnel-related expenses, including salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation, and allocated facility costs for our business development, marketing, corporate, executive, finance, legal, human resources, IT and other administrative functions. Selling, general and administrative expenses also include expenses for outside professional services, including legal, auditing and accounting services, recruitment expenses, travel expenses and certain non-income taxes, insurance and other administrative expenses.
We expect our selling, general and administrative expenses to increase for the foreseeable future with the growth of our business, in pursuit of regulatory and technology initiatives, and as a result of operating as a public company, including compliance with the rules and regulations of the SEC, legal, audit, and additional insurance expenses, investor relations activities, and other administrative and professional services.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense results from depreciation and amortization of our property and equipment and intangible assets that is recognized over their estimated useful lives.
Interest Income (Expense)
Interest income consists of interest earned from our cash and cash equivalents balance and on marketable securities. Interest expense relates to interest and amortization of debt discounts on our senior secured notes.
Other Income (Expense)
Other income (expense) consists of miscellaneous non-operating items, such as change in fair value of warrants and Asset Purchase Agreement liability, change in fair value of derivative liability, debt extinguishment loss, equity method income (loss), and foreign currency gains (losses).

million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 from $
3.9
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense was primarily driven by accelerated depreciation related to retired network assets.

Other expense was $
58.1
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared with other expense of $
17.4
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The change was primarily driven by a loss resulting from the change in the fair value of the derivative liability, a debt extinguishment loss, and a non-cash expense related to warrants issued in connection with the March 2025 debt financing, partially offset by gain from the change in the fair value of the warrant liability.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have incurred losses since our inception and to date have generated only limited revenue. We have primarily relied upon debt and equity financings to fund our cash requirements. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and
2024
, we incurred net losses of $
121.3
million and $
69.6
million, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, our net cash used in operating activities and investing activities was $
34.7
million and $
35.0
million, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, our net cash used in operating activities and investing activities was $
26.1
million and $
17.7
million, respectively. As of September 30, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities of $
167.6
million and an accumulated deficit of $
983.4
million. We expect to incur additional losses and higher operating expenses for the foreseeable future. Our primary use of cash is to fund our operations as we continue to grow our business. We will require a significant amount of cash for expenditures as we invest in ongoing research and development and our PNT networks.
Managing liquidity and our cash position is a priority of ours. We continually work to optimize our expenses in light of the growth of our business, and adapt to changes in the economic environment. We believe that our cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities as of September 30, 2025 will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs, including all contractual commitments, beyond the next 12 months from the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We believe we will meet longer term expected future cash requirements and obligations through a combination of our existing cash and cash equivalents balances and marketable securities, cash flows from operations, and issuance of equity securities or debt offerings. However, this determination is based upon internal financial projections and is subject to changes in market and business conditions.
On March 12, 2025, we entered into a Note Purchase Agreement to sell to a group of lenders in a private placement (the “Private Placement”) $190.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 5% Senior Secured Convertible Notes due in 2028 (the “2028 Notes”) at par. The 2028 Notes will mature on June 30, 2028 with interest payable in cash semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year at 5% per annum. Upon the closing of the Private Placement, the Company used a portion of the net proceeds from the Private Placement to redeem all of its $70.0 million 2026 Notes, at a redemption price of 101% of the principal amount of the 2026 Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest. Refer to Note 8 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Our cash flows used in operating activities are significantly affected by the growth of our business and are primarily related to research and development, sales and marketing, and selling, general and administrative activities. Our operating cash flows are also affected by our working capital needs to support growth in personnel-related expenditures and fluctuations in accounts payable and other current assets and liabilities.
Net cash used in operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $
34.7
million, resulting primarily from a net loss of $

Item 4. Controls And Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
In the course of our business, we are involved in litigation and legal matters from time to time. Such matters are subject to many uncertainties and outcomes are not predictable with assurance. We accrue liabilities for such matters when it is probable that future expenditures will be made and such expenditures can be reasonably estimated. We do not believe that any such matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
You should carefully consider all of the information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q before you decide whether to invest in our securities. Our business is subject to risks and events that, if they occur, could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations and the trading price of our securities. In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the factors described in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed with SEC on March 12, 2025 (the “
2024
Annual Report”), as well as those otherwise described or updated from time to time in our other filings with the SEC. 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.
As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there have been no material changes from the risk factors set forth in our
2024
Annual Report, other than as described below.
The indenture governing our 5% Senior Secured Convertible Notes due in 2028 (the “2028 Notes”) contains restrictions and other provisions regarding events of default that may make it more difficult to execute our strategy or to effectively compete, or that could materially and adversely affect our financial position.
Subject to certain exceptions and qualifications, the indenture governing the 2028 Notes (the “Indenture”) restricts our ability to, among other things, (i) incur indebtedness, other than certain forms of permitted debt, (ii) issue any preferred equity interests, (iii) create or permit to exist any lien on any property, other than certain limited forms of permitted encumbrances, (iv) merge, amalgamate, consolidate or sell all or substantially all assets, (v) make or hold any investment, other than certain forms of permitted investments, (vi) consummate certain asset sales, (vii) pay any dividend or other distribution with respect to any of our capital stock, (viii) make any payment (whether in cash, securities or other property), including any sinking fund or similar deposit, on account of the purchase, redemption, retirement, acquisition, cancellation or termination of any of our capital stock or any option, warrant or other right to acquire any such capital stock, (ix) dispose or transfer intellectual property that is material to our business or (x) effect any transaction that would result in an adjustment to the conversion price of the 2028 Notes to an amount less than $2.05 per share of common stock. These restrictions, and others set forth in the Indenture as discussed below, may make it difficult to successfully execute our business strategy or effectively compete with others that are not similarly restricted.
The Indenture also provides that a number of events will constitute an event of default, including, among other things, (i) a failure to pay interest or any other amount on the 2028 Notes for 30 days, (ii) a failure to pay the principal of the 2028 Notes when due at maturity, upon any required repurchase, upon declaration of acceleration or otherwise, (iii) a failure to comply with our obligations to convert the 2028 Notes in accordance with the Indenture upon exercise of a holder’s conversion right within five business days, (iv) a failure to issue a Fundamental Change Company Notice (as defined in the Indenture) within five business days after the due date, (v) any breach of our covenants with respect to consummating restricted consolidations, mergers, or other sale transactions, (vi) the failure to comply with any of our other agreements contained in the Indenture or the 2028 Notes for 60 days after notice from the trustee or certain holders, (vii) the failure by certain of our subsidiaries to guarantee the 2028 Notes pursuant to their obligations, (viii) an invalid or unperfected lien on any material portion of the collateral, subject to certain exceptions, (ix) a default or other failure by us to make required payments under our other indebtedness for money borrowed in excess of $1 million in the aggregate, (x) a failure by us to pay final legal, arbitral or other judgments aggregating $1 million or more, and (xi) certain events of liquidation, reorganization, bankruptcy or insolvency.
If an event of default occurs and is continuing, additional interest will accrue on the 2028 Notes at a rate of 2% per annum of the principal amount of the 2028 Notes outstanding as of the occurrence of the event of default. We will also be required to pay additional interest of up to 0.50% per annum if (x) we fail to timely make certain required filings with the SEC, until such filings are made, or (y) the 2028 Notes are not otherwise freely tradeable under Rule 144 under the Securities Act. If we fail to pay interest on the 2028 Notes for 30 days or the principal of the 2028 Notes when due, the trustee has the right to declare all the 2028 Notes to be due and payable immediately. In the case of certain events of bankruptcy, all outstanding 2028 Notes will become due and payable immediately. Any such events of default or other acceleration of, or any increase in the amounts otherwise payable on, our debt could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, particularly if we are unable to negotiate mutually acceptable terms with the holders of the 2028 Notes or if alternate funding is not available to us. Furthermore, if we are unable to repay the 2028 Notes upon an acceleration or otherwise, we could be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation.
In the event of certain non-ordinary course asset sales, including sales of certain intellectual property or spectrum licensed by the Federal Communications Commission to us or our subsidiaries, we must make a mandatory repurchase offer for a portion of the 2028 Notes outstanding with the proceeds of such sale, at a price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Notes subject to such repurchase, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of the repurchase, subject to certain thresholds and limitations set forth in the Indenture.
33
In addition, in the event of a Fundamental Change (as defined in the Indenture), each holder has the right, at such holder’s option and subject to the limitations set forth in the Indenture, to require us to repurchase for cash all of such holder’s 2028 Notes in an amount equal to the greater of (i) the then outstanding principal amount of 2028 Notes held, plus all accrued and unpaid interest to such date and (ii) the consideration each holder of 2028 Notes would have received if such holder had converted the 2028 Notes into our common stock immediately prior to such Fundamental Change.
Warrants to purchase common stock are exercisable, which could increase the number of shares eligible for future resale in the public market and result in dilution to our stockholders.
We have a significant number of outstanding warrants for the purchase of common stock. Outstanding warrants to purchase an aggregate of
18,749,960
shares of common stock became exercisable on November 27, 2021 in accordance with the terms of the warrant agreement governing those securities. These warrants consist of
14,715,170
public warrants and
4,034,790
private placement warrants, related to the initial public offering and financing of Spartacus (a Delaware special purpose acquisition company with which we consummated a business combination in 2021). The
4,034,790
private placement warrants have been registered pursuant to an effective registration statement. Each warrant entitles its holder to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share and will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York time, on October 28, 2026, or earlier upon redemption of our common stock or our liquidation. To the extent warrants are exercised, additional shares of common stock will be issued, which will result in dilution to our then existing stockholders and increase the number of shares eligible for resale in the public market. Moreover, in conjunction with the issuance of our senior secured notes in 2023 (refer to Note 8 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information), we issued an aggregate of 25,925,927 warrants (the “2023 Debt Warrants”) at an exercise price of $2.16 to purchase shares of our common stock to certain of the purchasers thereof. The 2023 Debt Warrants will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York time, on June 1, 2027. As of September 30, 2025,
10,632,076
2023 Debt Warrants were outstanding. Additionally, in conjunction with the issuance of the 2028 Notes in 2025 (refer to Note 8 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information), we issued
7,800,000
warrants (the “2025 Debt Warrants” and, together with the 2023 Debt Warrants, the “Debt Warrants”) with exercise prices ranging from $12.56 to $20.00 per share to certain of the purchasers thereof. The 2025 Debt Warrants will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York time, on December 31, 2028. As of September 30, 2025,
7,800,000
2025 Debt Warrants were outstanding. Sales of substantial numbers of shares of our common stock underlying the Debt Warrants in the public market will dilute existing stockholders, may reduce the book value of existing shares of common stock and could depress the market price of our common stock.
34
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
(a) Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
Other than as previously disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K on September 25, 2025, we did not sell any unregistered equity securities during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2025.
(b) Use of Proceeds from Sale of Registered Equity Securities
None.
(c) Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer
None.
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities
None.
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures
Not applicable.
Item 5. Other Information
Trading Plans
On August 15, 19 and
25, 2025
, respectively, each of Sammaad Shams, Chief Accounting Officer, Susan Insley, Chief Operating Officer, and Christian Gates, formerly the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, entered into a sales plan intended to constitute a Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement, for purposes of satisfying the affirmative defense of Rule 10b5-1(c) of the Securities Exchange Act. Each sales plan applies to previously awarded grants of time-based vesting restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and provides for the automatic sales of a specific percentage of shares following the settlement of vested RSUs in an amount sufficient to satisfy the applicable tax withholding obligation of such executive officer. The sale proceeds will be delivered to the Company in satisfaction of the withholding obligation. In addition, the sales plan adopted by Mr. Shams provides for the potential sale of the net amount of shares remaining after sales for withholding purposes in the event the market price for Company common stock meets a certain minimum threshold price specified in in the sales plan. His sales plan also provides for the exercise of vested stock options in the event the market price for Company common stock meets the same minimum threshold.
The maximum number of shares that could be sold under Mr. Shams’s plan pursuant to the exercise of stock options is
93,039
. The exact number of shares that would be sold for withholding purposes under each of the described plans is unknown as that number will vary based on the market price of Company common stock and other factors. The expiration dates for each sales plan are September 20, September 30 and September 21, 2026, respectively, for Mr. Shams, Ms. Insley and Mr. Gates.
No other officers (as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) of the Exchange Act) or directors adopted, amended or terminated a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or a “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” (as such terms are defined in Item 408 of Regulation S-K) during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2025.

Exhibit 10.1
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
This Employment Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of September 3, 2025 (the “Effective Date”), by and between NextNav, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“NextNav”), NextNav, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of NextNav (the “Employer”), and Tim Gray (the “Employee”), a resident of the State of New Jersey. Unless the context indicates otherwise, references in this Agreement to the “Company” shall include NextNav and its subsidiaries and affiliates, including without limitation the Employer.
1. Position; At-Will Employment. During the Term of this Agreement, Employee will serve the Company as its Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (the “Position”).

The Company and Employee understand and agree that Employee is employed at-will, and either the Company or Employee can terminate their employment relationship at any time, for any reason or no reason, with or without cause.
2. Duties. Employee shall serve the Company in such capacities and with such duties and responsibilities consistent with the Position, or as may from time to time reasonably be assigned to Employee by the CEO or the CEO’s designee. Employee will comply with and be bound by the Company's operating policies, procedures, and practices in effect during Employee’s employment. The Company shall retain full direction and control of the means and methods by which Employee performs the above duties and of the place(s) at which such duties are to be rendered.

Employee's base salary shall be subject to adjustment, as determined by the Board of Directors of NextNav (the "Board") or the Compensation and Human Capital Committee of the Board (the "Committee"), in their sole discretion. Employee's base salary, as may be in effect from time to time, is referred to herein as "Base Salary." The Base Salary shall be payable as earned in accordance with the Employer's regular payroll schedule for salaried employees as in effect from time to time.
b. Discretionary Target Bonus. For the period beginning on Employee’s Start Date and each calendar year thereafter, Employee will be eligible to earn an annual incentive bonus in accordance with the program adopted by the Board or the Committee (the “Annual Bonus”). Employee’s Annual Bonus for calendar year 2025 shall be pro- rated based on the Employee’s Start Date. Employee’s target Annual Bonus shall be equal to forty-five percent (45%) of Employee’s Base Salary (the “Target Bonus”), subject to and based on the achievement of Company and personal performance goals established by the CEO and authorized and approved by the Board or the Committee; provided that, depending on results, Employee’s actual Annual Bonus may be higher or lower than the Target Bonus, as determined by the CEO and authorized and approved by the Board or the Committee, in their sole discretion. The Annual Bonus, if and to the extent earned, will be paid in the first quarter of the calendar year following the applicable performance year. Employee’s active employment during the entire applicable performance year and on the date of the payment of the Annual Bonus are both conditions precedent to Employee’s entitlement to earn the Annual Bonus. If Employee does not fulfill these conditions precedent or, in the sole judgment of the Board or the Committee, has not met the Company and personal performance goals, Employee will not have earned an Annual Bonus or any portion thereof for that particular calendar year.
c. Equity. In connection with Employee’s employment hereunder, the Board or the Committee has determined to award to Employee the following grants, subject to the terms of NextNav’s 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan (“the Plan”). No right to any equity rant is earned or accrued until such time as vesting occurs, and equity grants do not confer any right to continued vesting or employment:
i. As of the Start Date, equity grants will be made to Employee with an aggregate value of Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) divided in value between NextNav restricted stock units (“RSU”) with a grant value equal to One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000) and a grant of NextNav stock options (“Options”) with a grant value of One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000). In each case the conversion of the grant value into the amount of RSUs and Options will be calculated using a trailing twenty (20) day average of Company stock price from the grant date, consistent with grant calculations made for other similarly situated employees, and otherwise be in accordance with the terms of the Plan. Employee’s Option exercise price shall be priced at one hundred and ten (110%) of the trailing twenty (20) day average of the Company stock price from the grant date. 1/4 of the RSUs and Options shall vest twelve (12) months from the grant date, and subject to Employee’s continued employment with the Company, the remaining 3/4 of the RSUs and options shall continue vesting in equal installments of 1/12 per quarter over the subsequent three years.
ii. Subject to the Board or Committee authorization and approval, in the first quarter of 2026, Employee will be eligible for an annual long-term incentive grant expected to be valued at One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000) divided equally in value between NextNav RSUs and Options. As to each of these grants, 1/4 shall vest on the one-year anniversary of the grant date and the remaining 3/4 of the grant shall vest in equal installments of 1/12 per quarter thereafter. In each case the conversion of the grant value into RSUs and Options will be calculated using a trailing twenty (20) day average of Company stock price from the grant date, consistent with grant calculations made for other similarly situated employees, and otherwise be in accordance with the terms of the Plan. Employee’s Option exercise price shall be priced at one hundred and ten (110%) of the training twenty (20) day average of the Company stock price from the grant date. Thereafter, annual equity grant amounts will be subject to the authorization and approval of the Board or Committee in their sole discretion. Such annual long-term incentive equity grants shall vest over a four-year period, consistent with grant calculations made for other similarly situated employees, and each in the form previously approved by the Board or Committee in connection with the Plan, a form of each of which has been provided to Employee.
d. Benefits; Paid Time Off. During the Term of this Agreement, Employee will be eligible to participate in the Company's employee benefit plans applicable to similarly situated employees of the Company, as in effect from time to time, in accordance with the rules established for individual participation (or, as applicable, participation by spouse, domestic partner and/or family) in any such plan and applicable law. Employee will be eligible for paid time off in accordance with applicable law and the Company's policies in effect from time to time. Employee will also be eligible for paid holidays as the Company generally provides to similarly situated employees. However, nothing in this Agreement shall, in any way, require the Company to establish any such benefits or continue to maintain any such benefits programs or plans, or limit the Company from making any blanket amendments, changes, or modifications to the eligibility requirements or any other provisions of any employee benefit plan or benefit, and Employee's participation in or entitlement under such plans and benefits shall at all times be subject in all respects thereto.
e. Expense Reimbursement. Upon presentation of verifiable invoices and/or other documentation as may be requested by the Employer, and subject to the Company’s expense reimbursement policies, the Employer shall reimburse Employee for the reasonable and necessary costs and expenses that Employee incurs in connection with the performance of Employee’s duties and employment obligations, and for activities and events related to the business of the Company.
6. Proprietary Rights. Simultaneously with execution of this Agreement, Employee shall execute a Confidential Information, Invention Assignment, and Arbitration Agreement (the “Confidentiality Agreement”) with the Company in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. The Confidentiality Agreement is a condition of Employee’s employment, and shall survive termination of Employee’s employment, regardless of the reason for such termination.
7. Termination.
a. “Cause” Defined. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean:
(a) Employee's refusal to perform, or ongoing negligence in performing, Employee's duties or responsibilities (other than a failure resulting from Employee's death or Disability, as defined below) upon direction of the CEO, the Board, or an appropriate designee of either the CEO or the Board; (b) Employee's engaging in any act of fraud or misrepresentation involving the Company or its assets or any act that is a violation of Employee’s professional ethical duties; (c) Employee's engaging in sexual misconduct or harassment or similar behavior in Employee's personal or professional capacity; (d) Employee's knowing, reckless, or grossly negligent violation of any federal or state law or regulation applicable to the Company's business; (e) Employee's material or willful breach of any term of the Confidentiality Agreement or this Agreement; (f) Employee's being convicted of, or entering a plea of nolo contendere to, any felony or any misdemeanor involving material acts of moral turpitude, embezzlement, theft, or other similar act; (g) Employee's breach or violation of any other Company policy, practice, or procedure or Employee’s violation of her duty of loyalty or fiduciary duty to the Company; (h) Employee's engaging in gross misconduct or gross negligence; or (i) where the Company reasonably believes that Employee engaged in conduct which would cause the Company to suffer material disrepute or reputational harm or otherwise be materially injurious to the Company; provided, however, that if the reason for termination of Employee's employment for Cause is pursuant to subsections (a), (e), (g), or (h) above and the Board reasonably believes that the reason(s) for termination are capable of being cured, Employee shall be provided with up to 15 days to cure the events alleged to constitute Cause (during which 15-day period Employee’s active employment may be suspended).
b. “Disability” Defined. For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” shall mean Employee is unable to perform the essential functions of Employee's position, with or without reasonable accommodation, due to a medically determined mental or physical impairment that continues for at least 90 consecutive days or 120 days in any consecutive 365 day period. Employee further agrees that providing a leave of absence beyond the Disability period as a form of disability accommodation under state or federal law would not be a reasonable accommodation and would cause undue hardship for the Company in light of Employee's Position.
c. “Good Reason” Defined. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following without Employee's consent: (a) a material reduction in Employee's total compensation (including, but not limited to, the Target Bonus opportunity), provided that such reduction is not part of a Company-wide reduction applicable to the Employee’s team, other Executives at a level commensurate with the Employee’s, or Company-wide (and not including any instance where Employee is not awarded an Annual Bonus or the Annual Bonus Employee is awarded is less than the Target Bonus as determined by the Board or the Committee); (b) a material and adverse reduction in Employee's authority, duty, or responsibilities, except in the event of a Change in Control (defined below); or (c) a material change in geographic location at which Employee must perform services, which for this purpose shall mean a relocation of Employee's principal office of employment to more than fifty (50) miles from Employee's initial work location (i.e., Reston, Virginia); or (d) a material breach of this Agreement by the Company or its successor. An event shall only qualify as a "Good Reason" if: (i) Employee provides the Company written notice of the claimed event of Good Reason within ninety (90) days of the date that such event first occurs (such notice shall describe in detail the basis and underlying facts supporting Employee's belief that a Good Reason event has occurred); and (ii) the Company does not cure such claimed event of Good Reason within thirty (30) days of receipt of written notice from Employee. If Employee does not terminate employment for Good Reason within one hundred twenty (120) days after the first occurrence of the applicable Good Reason event, then Employee will be deemed to have waived the right to terminate for Good Reason with respect to such Good Reason event.
d. “Change in Control” Defined. For purposes of this Agreement, “Change in Control” shall have the same meaning ascribed thereto in the Company’s 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan (as it has been or may be amended and/or restated from time to time and any successor plan thereto).
8. Effect of Termination.
a. Termination by the Company for Cause During the Term, Resignation by Employee Without Good Reason During a Subsequent Term, the Expiration of the Term by Notice of Either Party, or the Termination by the Company without Cause During a Subsequent Term. In the event of: (a) a termination by the Company for Cause during the Term; (b) resignation by Employee without Good Reason during a Subsequent Term; (c) wherein either party provides notice prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or any Subsequent Term of that party’s intention not to renew the Agreement; or (d) a termination by the Company without Cause during a Subsequent Term, the Company shall pay to Employee or Employee’s heirs (in the event of death or incapacity), the compensation and benefits otherwise payable to Employee under Section 5 hereof earned or vested through the Termination Date and any expense reimbursements due and owing to Employee which were incurred prior to the Termination Date (“Accrued Compensation”). Employee’s rights under the Company’s benefit plans shall be determined under the provisions of those plans. Employee shall not receive any other payments or severance of any kind.
b. Termination due to Death or Disability. In the event of Employee’s death or Disability, the Company shall pay Employee or Employee's heirs (in the event of death or incapacity) the Accrued Compensation.
c. Termination by Company without Cause During the Initial Term or Employee’s Resignation for Good Reason During the Term. If Employee’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause during the Initial Term (other than on account of Employee’s death or Disability) or due to Employee’s resignation for Good Reason during the Initial Term, then the Company shall provide Employee with the following benefits:
i. The Company shall pay the Employee the Accrued Compensation;
ii. Conditioned upon and in exchange for Employee signing, not revoking, and complying with the terms of a Separation and General Release Agreement in a form to be provided by the Company (the “General Release”), and such General Release becoming effective within sixty (60) days following the Termination Date (such 60-day period, the “General Release Execution Period”):
1. Pay to Employee a lump sum payment, less applicable required withholdings and deductions, equal to twelve (12) months of Employee’s then-current Base Salary (ignoring any decrease in Base Salary that may have formed the basis for Good Reason), which shall be payable on the next regular payroll date of the Company following the sixtieth (60th) day following the Termination Date; provided that, in no event shall such payment occur later than March 15th of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Termination Date occurs;
2. Pay to Employee any earned but unpaid Annual Bonus with respect to any completed calendar year immediately preceding the Termination Date (such earned amount determined without regard to the requirement of Employee being employed on the date of payment), which shall be paid on the otherwise applicable payment date for such Annual Bonus.
3. If Employee elects and is eligible for continued coverage under COBRA for himself and his covered dependents under the Company's group health plans following such termination employment, then the Company will pay the COBRA premiums necessary to continue Employee's health insurance coverage in effect for himself and his eligible dependents on the Termination Date, as and when due to the insurance carrier or COBRA administrator (as applicable), through the earlier to occur of the expiration of the twelve (12)-month period following his Termination Date, the date Employee becomes eligible for coverage under another employer's group health plan, or the cessation of Employee's eligibility for the continuation coverage under COBRA. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that the payment of the COBRA premiums would result in a violation of the nondiscrimination rules of Section 105(h)(2) of the Code or any statute or regulation of similar effect (including but not limited to the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the 2010 Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act), then in lieu of providing the COBRA premiums, the Company, in its sole discretion, may elect instead to pay Employee on the first day of each month of the applicable period, a fully taxable cash payment equal to such portion of the COBRA premiums for that month, subject to applicable tax withholdings. If Employee becomes eligible for coverage under another employer's group health plan or otherwise ceases to be eligible for COBRA during the period provided in this clause, Employee must immediately notify the Company of such event (in no event later than 5 business days before Employee begins employment with his new employer), and all payments and obligations under this clause will cease; and
4. All of Employee’s then outstanding, unvested equity-based awards subject solely to time-based vesting, that would have become vested (but for such termination) during the twelve (12)-month period beginning on the Termination Date, shall vest as of the date immediately prior to the Termination Date (the “Equity Acceleration”); provided, however if the termination without cause or resignation for good reason occurs prior to January 1, 2026, Employee shall be entitled to 50% of the Equity Acceleration.
d. Change in Control. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein and without duplication of Section 8(c), if Employee’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause (other than on account of Employee’s death or Disability), due to Employee’s resignation for Good Reason, or on account of non-renewal by the Company in accordance with Section 4, in each case within the period beginning on the date the Company enters into a definitive agreement that if consummated would result in a Change in Control and ending on the twelve (12) month anniversary of such Change in Control, then the Company shall provide Employee with the following benefits:
i. The Company shall pay Employee the Accrued Compensation;
ii. Conditioned upon and in exchange for Employee signing, not revoking, and complying with the terms of the General Release within the General Release Execution Period:
1. Pay to Employee a lump sum payment, less applicable required withholdings and deductions, equal to one hundred fifty (150%) of the sum of (i) then current Employee’s Base Salary and (B) Employee’s Target Bonus for the year in which the Termination Date occur (ignoring any decrease in Base Salary of Target Bonus that may have formed the basis for Good Reason), which shall be payable on the next regular payroll date of the Company following the sixtieth (60th) day following the Termination Date; provided that, in no event shall such payment occur later than March 15th of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Termination Date occurs;
2. Pay to Employee any earned but unpaid Annual Bonus with respect to any completed calendar year immediately preceding the Termination Date (such earned amount determined without regard to the requirement of Employee being employed on the date of payment), which shall be paid on the otherwise applicable payment date for such Annual Bonus;
3. If Employee elects and is eligible for continued coverage under COBRA for himself and his covered dependents under the Company's group health plans following such termination employment, then the Company will pay the COBRA premiums necessary to continue Employee's health insurance coverage in effect for himself and his eligible dependents on the Termination Date, as and when due to the insurance carrier or COBRA administrator (as applicable), through the earlier to occur of the expiration of the twelve (12)-month period following his Termination Date, the date Employee becomes eligible for coverage under another employer's group health plan, or the cessation of Employee's eligibility for the continuation coverage under COBRA. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that the payment of the COBRA premiums would result in a violation of the nondiscrimination rules of Section 105(h)(2) of the Code or any statute or regulation of similar effect (including but not limited to the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the 2010 Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act), then in lieu of providing the COBRA premiums, the Company, in its sole discretion, may elect instead to pay Employee on the first day of each month of the applicable period, a fully taxable cash payment equal to such portion of the COBRA premiums for that month, subject to applicable tax withholdings. If Employee becomes eligible for coverage under another employer's group health plan or otherwise ceases to be eligible for COBRA during the period provided in this clause, Employee must immediately notify the Company of such event (in no event later than 5 business days before Employee begins employment with his new employer), and all payments and obligations under this clause will cease; and
4. All of Employee’s then outstanding, unvested equity-based awards subject solely to time-based vesting, that would have become vested (but for such. termination) during the twelve (12)-month period beginning on the Termination Date, shall vest as of the date immediately prior to the Termination Date.
e. Severance Limitations. Employee shall not receive any other payments or severance of any kind, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement.
f. Resignation as Officer or Director. Upon termination of employment for any reason, Employee shall resign immediately from each position that Employee then holds as an officer or director of the Company or any affiliate, or related entity thereof (if any).
9. Miscellaneous.
a. Arbitration. The Company and Employee agree that all claims, complaints, controversies, grievances, or disputes that arise out of or relate in any way to the parties’ relationship, this Agreement, or the termination of the parties’ relationship, whether based on contract, tort, statutory, or any other legal theory, shall be submitted to mandatory, binding arbitration before a single, neutral arbitrator who is licensed to practice law in the state in which the arbitration is convened (the “Arbitrator”). The arbitration shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Section 1 et seq., as amended, and shall be administered by JAMS in accordance with its then-current Employment Arbitration Rules and Procedures. The Rules are available online at https://www.jamsadr.com. If the JAMS Employment Arbitration Rules and Procedures are inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall govern. The Arbitration shall be convened in Fairfax County, Virginia. The Arbitrator will have the authority to award legal fees and costs of the arbitration to the same extent permitted under applicable law.
i. Waiver of Trial by Jury. The parties understand and fully agree that by agreeing to arbitrate, they are giving up their constitutional right to a trial by jury, as well as their rights of appeal following the rendering of a decision, except as the Federal Arbitration Act and applicable federal law provide for judicial review of arbitration proceedings.
ii. Covered Claims. This Section 9(a) covers all claims under federal, state or local law arising out of or relating to Employee’s application for employment with the Company, any offer of employment made by the Company, Employee’s employment by the Company, the breach of this or any other employment agreement, the termination of Employee’s employment with the Company, or any other aspect of Employee’s relationship with the Company, including claims that do not relate to Employee’s employment with the Company, claims that Employee may have against the Company or the Company’s subsidiaries, parents, affiliates, successors, or predecessors and their respective officers, directors, supervisors, managers, employees, or agents in their capacity as such or otherwise, and claims that the Company may have against Employee. The claims covered by this Section 9(a) (the “Covered Claims”) include, but are not limited to, claims for breach of any contract or covenant (express or implied), tort claims, claims for wrongful termination (constructive or actual) in violation of public policy, claims for discrimination, harassment, or retaliation, claims for violation of any federal, state, or other governmental law, statute, regulation, or ordinance, including, but not limited to, all claims arising under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Americans With Disabilities Act, the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, and Employee Retirement Income Security Act. The parties specifically agree that the Covered Claims include claims under the Fair Labor Standards Act and other federal, state, or local laws governing wages, hours and working conditions, including, but not limited to, claims for overtime, unpaid wages, paid or unpaid leave, and meal period and rest break violations.
iii. Claims Not Covered. Claims for workers’ compensation benefits, unemployment compensation benefits, or any other claims that, as a matter of law, the parties hereto cannot agree to arbitrate are not subject to, and are excluded from, this Section 9(a). Nothing in this Section 9(a) shall be interpreted to prohibit or preclude the filing of complaints with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, or the National Labor Relations Board, or a similar state or local agency. Moreover, and in accordance with 9 U.S.C. §§ 401-402, at the election of an employee on behalf of himself or herself or as a named representative of a class or collective action, this Section 9(a) shall not be valid or enforceable with respect to a case which is filed under federal, tribal, or state law and relates to a “sexual assault dispute” or “sexual harassment dispute” (as those terms are defined in 9 U.S.C. § 401). Employee agrees that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, all Covered Claims, other than those provided in this paragraph, are subject to mandatory arbitration under this Agreement, even if such claims are included in the same lawsuit with claims that are excepted from this Agreement.
iv. Waiver of Class, Representative, and Collective Action Claims. Except as otherwise required by law, Employee and the Company expressly intend and agree that (i) class, representative, and collective action procedures shall neither be asserted nor apply in any arbitration conducted pursuant to this Agreement; (ii) each party will not assert class, representative, or collective action claims against the other in arbitration or otherwise; and (iii) Employee and the Company shall only submit their own, individual claims in arbitration and will not seek to represent the interests of any other person.
v. Substantive Law. All Covered Claims shall be submitted to arbitration within the applicable statute of limitations period for the assertion of such claims in a court proceeding under applicable law, and shall otherwise be deemed to barred and waived if not submitted to arbitration within the applicable statute of limitations. The Arbitrator shall apply the substantive law (and the law of remedies, if applicable) of the state in which the claim arose, or federal law, or both, as applicable to the claim(s) asserted. The Arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this arbitration agreement. The Arbitrator shall conduct and preside over an arbitration hearing of reasonable length, to be determined by the Arbitrator. The Arbitrator shall provide the Parties with a written decision explaining his or her findings and conclusions. The Arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding upon the Parties.
vi. Other Provisions. Either party may bring an action in court to compel arbitration under this Agreement and to confirm, vacate, or enforce an arbitration award. This Section 9(a) shall not limit either party’s ability to seek injunctive relief, either in accordance with Section (c) or to otherwise preserve the status quo pending arbitration. The Company shall be responsible for all costs unique to the arbitration process. Otherwise, each party shall be responsible for paying its own costs for the arbitration, including but not limited to attorneys' fees and costs. However, if any party prevails on a statutory claim which affords the prevailing party attorneys' fees and costs, or if there is a written agreement providing for attorneys' fees and costs, the Arbitrator (or if applicable, the court) may award reasonable attorneys' fees and costs to the prevailing party. Any dispute as to the reasonableness of any fee or cost shall be resolved by the Arbitrator. This Section 9(a) shall survive the termination of Employee's employment. It may only be revoked or modified in a writing that specifically states the intent to revoke or modify the arbitration provisions of the Agreement and that is signed by both Employee and the Company.
b. Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable or inoperative as a matter of law by an arbitrator (or, if applicable, a court of competent jurisdiction), the remaining Sections, portions, or provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
c. Remedies.
i. Injunctive Relief. Employee acknowledges and agrees that Employee is providing special, unique, unusual, extraordinary, and intellectual services, which gives this Agreement a peculiar value to the Company, including substantial goodwill associated with the services Employee is providing under this Agreement ("Unique Services"), and that the loss of the Unique Services, whether to a competitor or otherwise, cannot be reasonably or adequately compensated for by damages in an action at law. Employee further acknowledges and agrees that a breach or threatened breach by Employee of this Agreement may cause irreparable injury to the Company. Notwithstanding Section 9(a), Employee therefore agrees that, in addition to any other right or remedy the Company may have, the Company shall be entitled to seek specific performance and/or to seek a temporary restraining order and to seek a preliminary and permanent injunction enjoining or restraining the breach or threatened breach of this Agreement, without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of monetary damages or the posting of any bond or security.
ii. Other Relief. The availability of specific performance or injunctive relief for the material breach or threatened material breach by Employee of this Agreement shall in no way limit or otherwise affect the availability of other remedies to the Company, including monetary damages, for injuries sustained that specific performance or an injunction will not remedy.
d. Waiver. All waivers hereunder shall be in writing. No waiver by any party of any breach of anticipated breach of any provision of this Agreement by the other party shall be deemed a waiver of any other contemporaneous, preceding, or succeeding breach or anticipated breach, whether or not similar.
e. Assignment. The Company may, in its discretion, assign its rights and/or delegate its obligations under this Agreement to any successor of the Company, whether by operation of law, agreement or otherwise (including, without limitation, to any person who acquires all or a substantial portion of the business of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, whether direct or indirect and whether structured as a stock sale, asset sale, merger, recapitalization, consolidation or other transaction), and in connection with any such assignment or delegation of its obligations hereunder, shall be released from such obligations hereunder. This Agreement may not be assigned by Employee. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Employee, the Company, and their respective successors and assigns.
f. Entire Agreement. This Agreement (together with the Exhibits attached hereto) and the other agreements referenced herein constitute the entire agreement between the parties pertaining to the subject matter contained herein and supersedes all prior agreements, representations, and understandings of the parties pertaining to such subject matter.

i. Interpretation. The section headings used in this Agreement are inserted for reference purposes only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

k. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions.
l. Advice of Counsel. Employee acknowledges that Employee has been advised to seek independent legal counsel for advice regarding the effect of the terms and provisions hereof, and Employee agrees that Employee has obtained or waived the right to obtains such advice of independent legal counsel to the extent Employee has deemed necessary.
m. Conditions to Employment. Employee shall provide the Company with such proof of Employee’s United States citizenship or authorization to work in the United States as required by law. Employee represents that Employee is under no contractual or other restriction inconsistent with the intention and provisions of this Agreement, the performance of Employee’s duties hereunder, or the rights of the Company under this Agreement.
n. Application of Section 280G. If any of the payments or benefits received or to be received by Employee (including, without limitation, any payment or benefits received in connection with a Change in Control or Employee’s termination of employment, whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other plan, arrangement or agreement, or otherwise) (all such payments collectively referred to herein as the “280G Payment”) constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and the regulations promulgated thereunder and will be subject to the excise tax imposed under Code Section 4999 (the “Excise Tax”), then the 280G Payment shall be equal to the Reduced Amount. The “Reduced Amount” shall be either (a) the largest portion of the 280G Payment that would result in no portion of the 280G Payment being subject to the Excise Tax, or (b) the largest portion of the 280G Payment, up to and including the total 280G Payment, whichever amount, after taking into account all applicable federal, state and local employment taxes, income taxes and the Excise Tax (all computed at the highest applicable marginal rate), results in Employee’s receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greater amount of the 280G Payment, notwithstanding that all or some portion of the 280G Payment may be subject to the Excise Tax. In making the determination described above, the Company, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall make a reasonable determination of the value to be assigned to any restrictive covenants in effect for Employee, and the amount of the 280G Payment shall be reduced by the value of those restrictive covenants to the extent consistent with Code Section 280G. If a reduction in payments or benefits constituting “parachute payments” is necessary so that the 280G Payment equals the Reduced Amount, the amounts payable or benefits to be provided to Employee shall be reduced such that the economic loss to Employee as a result of the “parachute payment” elimination is minimized. In applying this principle, the reduction shall be made in a manner consistent with the requirements of Code Section 409A and where two economically equivalent amounts are subject to reduction but payable at different times, such amounts shall be reduced on a pro rata basis but not below zero. All determinations to be made under this Section shall be made by an independent accounting firm, consulting firm or other independent service provider selected by the Company immediately prior to the Change in Control (the “Firm”), which shall provide its determinations and any supporting calculations both to the Company and Employee within ten (10) days of the Change in Control. Any such determination by the Firm shall be binding upon the Company and Employee. All of the fees and expenses of the Firm in performing the determinations referred to in this Section shall be borne solely by the Company.
o. Compliance with Section 409A.
i. It is intended that compensation paid and benefits delivered to Employee pursuant to this Agreement shall be either paid in compliance with, or exempt from, Code Section 409A ("Section 409A") so as not to subject Employee to payment of interest or any tax under Section 409A, and this Agreement shall be construed, interpreted and administered accordingly. Any payments under this Agreement that may be excluded from Section 409A either as separation pay due to an involuntary separation from service or as a short-term deferral shall be excluded from Section 409A to the maximum extent possible. Employee's right to receive any installment payment pursuant to this Agreement (if any) shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate and distinct payments for purposes of Section 409A. Any payment to be made under this Agreement upon a termination of employment shall only be made upon a "separation from service" under Section 409A. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event this Agreement or any compensation paid or benefits delivered to Employee hereunder is deemed to be subject to Section 409A, the Company shall adopt such conforming amendments as the Company deems necessary, in its reasonable discretion, to comply with Section 409A and avoid the imposition of taxes under Section 409A. In no event shall the Company, the Board, the Compensation Committee of the Board, any employee of the Company, or any adviser of any of the foregoing be liable for all or any portion of any taxes, penalties, interest, or other expenses that may be incurred by Employee on account of non-compliance with Section 409A.
ii. Notwithstanding any provision in the Agreement to the contrary, if any payment or benefit provided to Employee in connection with Employee's termination of employment is determined to constitute "nonqualified deferred compensation" within the meaning of Section 409A and Employee is determined to be a "specified employee" (as defined in Section 409A), then such payment or benefit shall not be paid until the first payroll date following the six-month anniversary of the Termination Date or, if earlier, the first payroll date following Employee's death (the "Specified Employee Payment Date"). The aggregate of any payments that would otherwise be paid before the Specified Employee Payment Date shall be paid, without interest, in a lump sum on the Specified Employee Payment Date, and thereafter any remaining payments, if any, shall be paid without delay in accordance with their original schedule.
iii. Notwithstanding any provision in the Agreement to the contrary, the reimbursement of expenses or in-kind benefits provided pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject to the following conditions: (i) the expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits in one taxable year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits in any other taxable year; (ii) the reimbursement of eligible expenses or in-kind benefits shall be made promptly, subject to the Company's applicable policies, but in no event later than the end of the year after the year in which such expense was incurred; and (iii) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company, the Employer, and Employee have executed this Agreement as of the date first above written.
