EchoStar (SATS) has agreed to amend its definitive pact with SpaceX (SPACE) to sell the company’s unpaired AWS-3 licenses for $2.6B in SpaceX stock.
The deal builds on the agreement the companies entered into in September. “This transaction with SpaceX, in addition to our previously announced spectrum transactions and commercial agreements, will strengthen EchoStar's ability to develop new business opportunities and growth in value for our shareholders," said Hamid Akhavan, CEO, EchoStar Capital.
In September, EchoStar (SATS) agreed to sell its AWS-4 and H-block spectrum licenses to SpaceX for about $17 billion, split between up to $8.5 billion in cash and up to $8.5 billion in SpaceX stock.
With this unpaired AWS-3 spectrum, in addition to the AWS-4 and H-block spectrum licenses, SpaceX will develop and deploy a next-generation Starlink Direct to Cell constellation.
Closing of the proposed transaction will occur after all required regulatory approvals are received and other closing conditions are satisfied. Current operations of EchoStar's DISH TV, Sling TV, Boost Mobile, and Hughes will not be impacted by this transaction.
