This Schedule 13D/A provides crucial follow-up to the definitive merger agreement with Amazon, which was announced yesterday. The filing confirms that James Monroe III and his affiliated entities, who collectively own 57.59% of Globalstar's common stock, formally committed to supporting the acquisition on April 13, 2026. By signing a Stockholder Support Agreement and delivering their written consent, this majority shareholder group has effectively guaranteed the necessary shareholder approval for the $90.00 per share merger.
