Current report

•our ability to obtain 5 x 5 MHz broadband licenses in accordance with the 2026 Report and Order;

Current report

Federal government shutdowns could affect our ability to obtain broadband licenses from the FCC, which could adversely impact our ability to comply with our contractual obligations and to commercialize our 900 MHz spectrum assets.

Current report

Our plans to commercialize our 900 MHz spectrum assets depend on our ability to continue to qualify for and obtain broadband licenses from the FCC. In addition, our existing commercial agreements with our customers require us to deliver cleared spectrum and broadband licenses in designated service territories on a timely basis.

Current report

The federal government shutdown that began on October 1, 2025 and ended on November 12, 2025 resulted in the FCC operating with significantly reduced staffing and suspensions of most licensing and application processing activities. As a result, the review, processing, and grant of our broadband license applications and related filings were delayed and could continue to be delayed. Future federal government shutdowns and any related delays could impede our ability to obtain, renew, or modify broadband licenses and other approvals necessary to satisfy our contractual obligations with our customers and to commercialize our 900 MHz spectrum assets in accordance with our business plan.

Current report

The duration of any government shutdown directly impacts our ability to deliver broadband licenses to our customers on a timely basis, satisfy our obligations and execute our commercialization strategy. If a federal government shutdown were to recur in the future, our business, liquidity, results of operations, and prospects could be materially and adversely affected.

Previous report

Our sales and marketing initiatives, including our AnterixAccelerator TM program, may not be successful.

Previous report

We spend considerable resources developing and implementing sales and marketing initiatives and programs to facilitate the lease or sale of our spectrum assets to our target customers. For example, in March 2025, we announced our AnterixAccelerator TM program aimed at speeding up the adoption of private wireless broadband networks by utilities. We committed an investment of up to $250 million in support of this program. This program offers features like a dollar-for-dollar match, customized ownership terms and Anterix White Glove Support. Although we adopted this program in consultation with our customers, potential customers and corporate partners, there is no assurance this program will be successful or will increase the leasing or sale of our 900 MHz spectrum assets. If our sales and marketing initiatives are not successful, we may never generate sufficient revenues to operate a profitable business and our results of operations, financial condition and prospects will be harmed.

Previous report

Our strategic review process may not result in our identification or completion of a strategic transaction, which could have an adverse effect on our stock price and our business.

Previous report

In February 2025, we announced that we had engaged Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC as our financial advisor to support a formal strategic review process. No decision has been made at this time by our Board of Directors as to whether to engage in any particular transaction. Any decision by our Board would depend on factors it deems relevant, which may include our projected financial performance, the financial performance and prospects of any partner or buyer in a strategic transaction, the likelihood that any such transaction could be successfully completed, the potential value to our stockholders, potential synergies that could be achieved from any strategic transaction, available alternative options and market conditions. There can be no assurance that our Board will identify an acceptable strategic partner or buyer or authorize the pursuit of any strategic alternative. Moreover, there can be no assurance as to the terms or the timing of any potential transaction, or whether any transaction may ultimately occur. Any potential transaction would depend on a number of factors, many of which may be beyond our control. Our inability to identify and complete an acceptable strategic transaction or any decision by our Board to cease the strategic review process could result in increased volatility of our stock and have an adverse effect on our business.

Previous report

We may not be successful in the petition filed with the FCC to expand the 900 MHz Broadband Segment from 6 MHz to 10 MHz.

Previous report

In February 2024, we along with several other interested parties, including major utilities and trade associations, filed a Petition for Rulemaking with the FCC. The Petition seeks the FCC’s adoption of its previously considered expansion of the current paired 3 x 3 MHz broadband segment to a paired 5 x 5 MHz broadband segment at the 900 MHz band. In January 2025, the FCC adopted a NPRM, the first step in developing rules for review and consideration. The NPRM incorporates almost all the recommendations of our Petition and is consistent with the FCC’s practices and policies. Nevertheless, obtaining a favorable result from the FCC may take a significant amount of time and resources. There is no assurance that the FCC will ultimately adopt rules along the lines originally advocated by us. As a result, our ability to successfully expand the 900 MHz Broadband Segment from 6 MHz to 10 MHz, could require more attention from our senior management team and be more expensive than we currently anticipate, and we ultimately may not be able to obtain the necessary regulatory approvals.
Reworded paragraphs (32)

Previous wording

We have identified utilities and other critical infrastructure enterprises as our initial target customers. As of the date of this filing, we have signed long-term leases of our spectrum assets with Ameren, Evergy, Xcel Energy, and TECO and have entered into agreements to sell our spectrum assets to SDG&E, LCRA and Oncor. Although we are in discussions with other utilities and critical infrastructure enterprises, there is no assurance that these discussions will continue to progress or eventually result in contracts with these entities or that we will be successful in our efforts to commercialize our spectrum assets and other service offerings. For example, utilities or other critical infrastructure enterprises may not elect to acquire use of any broadband licenses we secure on terms satisfactory to us or for a consideration that represents what we believe is the fair market value for the rights to our spectrum, on a timely basis, or at all. Similarly, there is no assurance that utilities or other critical infrastructure customers will retain us for any other value-added services we offer them. As a result, our prospects must be considered in light of the uncertainties, risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies implementing a new business plan and pursuing opportunities in highly competitive and rapidly developing markets.

Current wording

No. 1 of Benton County (“Benton PUD”). Although we are in discussions with other utilities and critical infrastructure enterprises, there is no assurance that these discussions will continue to progress or eventually result in contracts with these entities or that we will be successful in our efforts to commercialize our spectrum assets and other service offerings. For example, utilities or other critical infrastructure enterprises may not elect to acquire use of any broadband licenses we secure on terms satisfactory to us or for a consideration that represents what we believe is the fair market value for the rights to our spectrum, on a timely basis, or at all.

Previous wording

In addition, under our current business plan, we generally intend to enter into long-term leasing or other transfer arrangements for our spectrum assets in one county with one customer, or a limited number of customers, in each geographic area. We also expect that our customers will pay what we believe is the fair market value for rights to our spectrum and bear the costs of deploying and operating their private wireless broadband networks. As a result, many geographic areas may have only one or a limited number of potential customers and if we are not successful with the initially targeted customer or limited number of customers, our spectrum may not be utilized, and we will not be able to generate revenues from owning spectrum in that geographic area. In addition, even if we enter a long-term lease or transfer arrangement for a geographic area, we expect payments by our customer in such area will be contingent on our ability to clear incumbents and take the other necessary actions to secure broadband licenses on a timely and cost-effective basis. Our customers also will typically receive rights to all spectrum we have in its geographic operating area. Because of this, we may not have additional spectrum assets to lease in such geographical area to other potential customers. Further, other than our lease or transfer arrangements, currently we do not generate revenue from the operation of the broadband networks or technologies deployed by our customers. As a result, there is considerable uncertainty as to whether we can generate sufficient revenues to develop a profitable business from leasing or otherwise transferring our licensed 900 MHz spectrum.

Previous wording

Our ability to successfully commercialize our spectrum assets will also depend on the continued commercial availability of technology, products and solutions that can both utilize the broadband licenses we secure and satisfy our customers’ demands. Our spectrum assets are located within the 3GPP global standard of Band 8 (also known as the E-GSM band, or 880 - 915 MHz paired with 925 - 960 MHz). Band 8 is currently being utilized in LTE and 5G networks, with a specific designation for the US under Band 106 and n106. However, chipmakers and other technology, product and solution manufacturers and vendors may not continue to develop the technology, products and solutions required to satisfy our customers’ various use cases and meet the technical specifications established in the Report and Order. Further, adverse economic conditions, including as a result of inflation, trade restrictions and tariffs, regulatory actions and policy changes, and geopolitical matters, may result in supply chain issues which limit our customer’s ability to obtain the necessary technology and products to deploy an LTE or 5G wireless broadband network utilizing our spectrum. If such technologies, products and solutions are not available, not competitively priced or are significantly delayed, our targeted customers may decide not to pursue 900 MHz broadband licenses with us on acceptable terms, on a timely basis, or at all.

Previous wording

broadband networks, technologies and solutions utilizing our spectrum on to their ratepayers, which could cause these entities to be unable to afford, or to elect not to pursue, rights to our spectrum assets. In addition, although there is broad availability of broadband LTE, there is no assurance that our targeted customers will be able to utilize existing networks, technologies and solutions with our spectrum for their desired use cases without requiring modifications to existing equipment or engaging in product and/or service development efforts, any of which could result in deployment delays, require them or us to invest in technology or other development activities or otherwise adversely limit the potential benefits or value of our spectrum assets. If any of these risks occur or continue beyond our plans and expectations, our plans to commercialize our spectrum assets may not be as valuable as we expect and we may experience significant delays in our commercialization plans, which will have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Current wording

Our assessment that we should target utilities and other critical infrastructure entities as potential customers for our spectrum is based on our determination that these entities will need to install a significant number of new technologies, such as smart devices and sensors, that will generate an increasing amount of data that cannot be addressed well by their existing communication networks and systems. Our potential customers, however, are large organizations and their decision to implement private broadband networks, technologies and solutions is an involved decision and will require significant capital outlays. Any negotiation and contract process with these potential customers has taken, and likely will continue to take, a significant amount of time and effort to work through their approval and funding processes. In addition, there is no assurance that the governmental agencies that regulate these entities will in each case allow them to pass the capital costs of implementing broadband networks, technologies and solutions utilizing our spectrum on to their ratepayers, which could cause these entities to be unable to afford, or to elect not to pursue, rights to our spectrum assets. In addition, although there is broad availability of broadband LTE, there is no assurance that our targeted customers will be able to utilize existing networks, technologies and solutions with our spectrum for their desired use cases without requiring modifications to existing equipment or engaging in product and/or service development efforts, any of which could result in deployment delays, require them or us to invest in technology or other development activities or otherwise adversely limit the potential benefits or value of our spectrum assets. If any of these risks occur or continue beyond our plans and expectations, our plans to commercialize our spectrum assets may not be as valuable as we expect and we may experience significant delays in our commercialization plans, which will have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Previous wording

We are subject to contingencies and obligations under our commercial agreements with our customers including the delivery of cleared spectrum and broadband licenses on a timely basis, and as a result, there is no assurance that we will receive payments from such customers in the amounts and on the timeline we currently expect, or that any payments we have received to date from our customers, will not be subject to repayment or that we will not be subject to contract claims, including rights of termination.

Current wording

We may not be successful in developing, marketing, selling and delivering new products and services offerings to our targeted utility and critical infrastructure customers.

Previous wording

In addition to the leasing and sale of our spectrum assets, we are continuing to explore opportunities to expand our product and service offerings to leverage and enhance the value of our spectrum assets. We will continue to explore service offerings to help our customers deploy systems using our service offerings. We face significant competition in development, sale, and delivery of products and services related to our spectrum to our customers. Many of these competitors have significantly larger workforces, a broad array of capabilities, deep customer relationships, and greater financial resources. We may not be able to adequately compete in sales of these additional offerings, or be unable to develop, market or deliver competitive offerings.

Current wording

In addition to the leasing and sale of our spectrum assets, we are seeking to expand our product and service offerings to leverage and enhance the value of our spectrum assets. Most notably, we are actively marketing CatalyX and TowerX, connectivity management and tower optimization solutions that we developed to help utilities realize the benefits of private broadband networks, while leveraging commercial broadband networks. We also continue to explore other service offerings to help our customers deploy systems using our service offerings. We face significant competition in development, sale, and delivery of products and services offerings related to our spectrum to our customers. Many of these competitors have significantly larger workforces, a broad array of capabilities, deep customer relationships, and greater financial resources. We may not be able to adequately compete in sales of these additional offerings, or be unable to develop, market or deliver competitive offerings.

Previous wording

Our competitors include spectrum holders, retail wireless network providers, such as Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, and EchoStar, private radio operators and other public and private companies, including potential new spectrum entrants, who supply spectrum or other communication networks, technologies, products and solutions to our targeted utility and critical infrastructure entities. For example, in February 2025, T-Mobile announced that it has entered into an agreement to sell its 800 MHz spectrum holdings. Although the transaction has not yet been approved by the FCC, the buyer of this spectrum has indicated it may make this spectrum available to our target utility customers. If the buyer of this spectrum elects to lease or sell the 800 MHz spectrum it acquires from T-Mobile to our target customers, the resulting direct competition from this offering could reduce the number of agreements we can secure to lease or sell our spectrum to our target customers and reduce the cost that potential customers are willing to pay to lease or acquire our spectrum, any of which would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

systems. Given these significant capital requirements, there is no assurance that we will be able to generate enough revenues through the commercialize our spectrum assets to achieve profitability, especially in light of the competitive environment in which we operate, and the wide variety of technologies, products, services and solutions offered by our competitors. Further, in the process of pursuing broadband licenses, we may be required to make significant concessions or contractual commitments, make significant payments or assume significant costs, purchase additional spectrum or replacement communication systems or limit the use of our spectrum assets or restrict our pursuit of business opportunities to address the concerns expressed by incumbents and other interested parties.

Current wording

Additionally, many of our competitors have significantly more resources, a longer track record of providing technologies, products, services and solutions to our targeted customers and greater political and regulatory influence than we do, all of which could prevent, delay or increase the costs of commercializing our spectrum to our targeted customers. In addition, we expect our targeted customers will bear the cost of installing and operating the broadband networks, technologies and solutions utilizing our licensed spectrum, thereby requiring the replacement of some or all of their existing communication systems.

Previous wording

Some of our competitors, such as Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, and EchoStar, have significantly greater pricing flexibility and have taken steps to compete or may decide to compete against us more aggressively. These and other competitors may own or acquire spectrum that directly competes with our 900 MHz spectrum and/or have developed or may develop technologies that directly compete with our solutions. If competitors offer spectrum rights or services, technologies and solutions to our targeted customers at prices and terms that make the licensing of our spectrum assets unattractive, our ability to license or otherwise commercialize our spectrum assets could be impaired. As a result, we may be unable to attract sufficient customers at prices or on terms that would enable us to generate sufficient revenues to operate a profitable business, which would have an adverse effect on the growth, results of operations and prospects. In addition, we may not be able to fund or invest in certain areas of our business to the same degree as our competitors. Several have substantially greater product development and marketing budgets and other financial and regulatory personnel resources than we do. Several also have greater name and brand recognition and a larger base of customers than we have. Competition could increase our selling and marketing expenses and related customer acquisition costs. We may not have the financial resources, technical expertise or marketing and support capabilities to compete successfully.

Current wording

Macroeconomic and unfavorable market conditions, regulatory and policy changes, and ongoing wars and other geopolitical matters, may have an adverse impact on our business, financial results, stock price and results of operations as well as the business of our current and potential customers.

Previous wording

Recent geopolitical changes and regulatory and policy initiatives have created negative and uncertain macroeconomic conditions, and could result in adverse market conditions, decreases in per capita income and level of disposable income, increased inflation, rising interest rates and supply chain issues. Trade tensions or restrictions on free trade, including the tariffs imposed by the U.S. government and actions taken by other countries in response to these tariffs, could exacerbate these effects. Such conditions may adversely impact our business, financial results and prospects and our target customers’ businesses. In addition, such macroeconomic conditions could impact our ability to access the public markets as and when appropriate or necessary to carry out our operations or our strategic goals and adversely impact our strategic review process. We cannot predict the ongoing extent, duration or severity of these conditions, nor the extent to which we may be impacted.

Further, our assumptions regarding the terms of any spectrum transactions we enter into with our targeted customers, including the timing of customer payments, may turn out to be inaccurate. As a result, a significant shortfall in our planned revenues, a significant delay in obtaining broadband licenses, a delay in entering into agreements for our spectrum assets, future customers electing not to make significant pre-payments under the terms of any agreements we enter into or significant increases in our planned expenses could have an immediate and material adverse effect on our business, liquidity, results of operations and prospects. In such case, we may not be able to return capital to our stockholders through dividends or stock repurchases and may be required to issue additional equity or debt securities or enter into other commercial arrangements to secure the additional financial resources to support our future operations and the implementation of our business plans. Such financing may result in dilution to stockholders, imposition of debt covenants and repayment obligations, or other restrictions that may adversely affect our business, prospects and results of operations. In addition, we may seek additional capital due to market conditions or strategic considerations even if we believe we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans.

Our business is reliant on our ability to secure broadband licenses pursuant to the Report and Order and to commercialize our spectrum assets to our targeted utility and critical infrastructure customers. Since the Report and Order, we have signed commercial agreements with seven of our target utility customers for the long-term lease or transfer of our spectrum assets. Although we are in discussions with other utilities and critical infrastructure companies, and we believe many of these utility and critical infrastructure customers have demonstrated an intention to acquire use of our 900 MHz Broadband Spectrum based on their level of engagement, there is no assurance that these discussions will continue to progress or will eventually result in contracts with these entities. There also is no assurance regarding the terms of any agreements we enter into with our target customers, including the time required to enter into an agreement and the amount or timing of any payments from any executed agreement. In addition, there is no assurance that we will be able to satisfy our obligations under our commercial agreements, including our obligations to secure broadband licenses on a timely basis and on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. As a result, there is no assurance that we will be successful in our efforts to commercialize our spectrum assets and other service offerings. Further, our ability to forecast our future operating results is limited and subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including our ability to accurately forecast and estimate our future revenues and the expenses and time required to obtain broadband licenses and pursue our commercialization plans. We have encountered, and expect to continue to encounter, risks and uncertainties frequently experienced by businesses with unique business models that operate in highly competitive, technical and rapidly changing markets. If our assumptions regarding these risks and uncertainties are incorrect, or if there are adverse changes in our commercialization plans or opportunities or general economic conditions, or if we do not manage or address these risks and uncertainties successfully, our results of operations could differ materially and adversely from our expectations.

Previous wording

We have incurred net losses each year since our inception and we may not achieve or maintain profitability in the future for a number of reasons, including without limitation, the costs to obtain broadband licenses, including the costs to clear the 900 MHz band, the costs to promote and commercialize our spectrum assets to our targeted utility and critical infrastructure customers, our inability to commercialize our spectrum assets to our targeted utility and critical infrastructure customers on a timely basis and on commercially favorable terms and changes in our revenue recognition policies. Additionally, we may encounter unforeseen operating expenses, difficulties, complications, delays and other unknown factors that may result in significant delays in our commercialization efforts, levels of revenue below our current expectations, or losses or expenses that exceed our current expectations. If our losses or expenses exceed our expectations or our revenue assumptions are not met in future periods, we may never achieve or maintain profitability in the future.

We have incurred net losses most years since our inception and we may not achieve or maintain profitability in the future for a number of reasons, including without limitation, the costs to obtain broadband licenses, including the costs to clear the 900 MHz band, the costs to promote and commercialize our spectrum assets to our targeted utility and critical infrastructure customers, our inability to commercialize our spectrum assets to our targeted utility and critical infrastructure customers on a timely basis and on commercially favorable terms and changes in our revenue recognition policies. Additionally, we may encounter unforeseen operating expenses, difficulties, complications, delays and other unknown factors that may result in significant delays in our commercialization efforts, levels of revenue below our current expectations, or losses or expenses that exceed our current expectations. If our losses or expenses exceed our expectations or our revenue assumptions are not met in future periods, we may never achieve or maintain profitability in the future.

In the United States, the utilization of our NOL carryforwards may be subject to a substantial annual limitations under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and similar state provisions due to ownership change limitations that have occurred previously or that could occur in the future. If we were to lose the benefits of these NOL carryforwards, our future earnings and cash resources would be materially and adversely affected. We have mainly incurred net losses since our inception, and we anticipate that we will continue to incur significant losses for the foreseeable future; thus, we do not know whether or when we will generate the U.S. federal taxable income necessary to utilize our NOLs.

Previous wording

Our plans to commercialize our 900 MHz spectrum assets depend on our ability to continue to obtain broadband licenses in accordance with the requirements of the Report and Order. The Report and Order establishes three general eligibility requirements to obtain a broadband license, which we refer to herein as (i) the “50% Licensed Spectrum Test,” (ii) the “90% Broadband Segment Test” and (iii) the “240 Channel Requirement.” We need to satisfy all eligibility requirements in each county in the United States for which we desire to obtain a broadband license. Under the 50% Licensed Spectrum Test, we must demonstrate that we hold more than 50% of the licensed channels in the 900 MHz band in the applicable county. Under the 90% Broadband Segment Test, we must provide the FCC with a plan demonstrating that we hold, will protect, or have agreements with Covered Incumbents for, at least 90% of the licensed channels in the 6 MHz broadband segment designated by the FCC and within 70 miles of the county boundary. Under the 240 Channel Requirement, we must surrender 6 MHz (240 channels) of wideband or narrowband spectrum in the applicable county to the FCC. If we do not have a sufficient number of channels to satisfy any of these eligibility requirements, we will be required to purchase the additional channels from incumbents in privately negotiated transactions, swap channels with incumbents (including any required retuning of the incumbent radio systems), demonstrate the ability to protect Covered Incumbents or pay for the deficiency by making an Anti-Windfall Payment. The amount of spectrum we will be required to purchase and/or swap and the amount of any Anti-Windfall Payment will vary in each county based on our existing spectrum holdings in such county. Our ability to acquire and/or swap the additional spectrum necessary to secure broadband licenses in a desired county on a timely and cost-effective basis will depend on the incumbents who hold the additional spectrum we need to acquire or swap and their operations that we may need to retune or replace. Obtaining the required spectrum to qualify for broadband licenses in a particular county may take longer and be more expensive than we currently anticipate. In addition, as discussed in more detail below, incumbents may elect not to sell or swap their existing channels on reasonable terms, or at all, and until we obtain a broadband license from the FCC, we will not be able to utilize the Mandatory Retuning procedures the FCC established in the Report and Order. If we are unable to continue to obtain broadband licenses on favorable terms and on a timely basis, our business, liquidity, results of operations and prospects will be materially adversely affected. In addition, significant costs or delays beyond what we have anticipated in our business plan will further delay us from commercializing our spectrum assets, may prevent us from returning capital to stockholders (through dividends or stock repurchases)…

Current wording

Our plans to commercialize our 900 MHz spectrum assets depend on our ability to continue to obtain broadband licenses in accordance with the FCC requirements, including three general eligibility requirements to obtain a broadband license, which we refer to herein as (i) the “50% Licensed Spectrum Test,” (ii) the “90% Broadband Segment Test” or the 5 x 5 Broadband Segment Test and (iii) the “240 or 399 Channel Requirement.” We need to satisfy all eligibility requirements in each county in the United States for which we desire to obtain a broadband license. Under the 50% Licensed Spectrum Test, we must demonstrate that we hold more than 50% of the licensed channels in the 900 MHz band in the applicable county. Under the 90% Broadband Segment Test, we must provide the FCC with a plan demonstrating that we hold, will protect, or have agreements with Covered Incumbents for, at least 90% of the licensed channels in the 6 MHz broadband segment designated by the FCC and within 70 miles of the county boundary. The 5 x 5 Broadband Segment Test, is similar to the corresponding 3 x 3 broadband licensing rules of the 2020 Report and Order with the exception that prospective 5 x 5 broadband licensees must hold, have agreements with or protect Covered Incumbents for 100% of Covered Incumbents in the narrowband segments. Anterix may invoke Mandatory Retuning of channels in the 3 x 3 MHz broadband segment held by those licensees. under the 240 MHz Channel Requirement, but we must surrender 6 MHz (240 channels) or 10 MHz (399 channels) of broadband or narrowband spectrum in the applicable county to the FCC. If we do not have a sufficient number of channels to satisfy any of these eligibility requirements, we will be required to purchase the additional channels from incumbents in privately negotiated transactions, swap channels with incumbents (including any required retuning of the incumbent radio systems), demonstrate the ability to protect Covered Incumbents or pay for the deficiency by making an Anti-Windfall Payment.

There is no assurance, however, that we can swap or acquire sufficient channels, including purchasing additional spectrum, swapping spectrum or entering into protective agreements with Covered Incumbents, to satisfy the 90% Broadband Segment Test in all counties on a timely basis and on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. Further, even if we satisfy the 90% Broadband Segment Test, as part of the Mandatory Retuning process we will be required to pay any costs associated with providing Covered Incumbents with comparable facilities and paying relocation costs.

Current wording

The Report and Order established a market-driven, voluntary exchange process for clearing the channels in the 3 x 3 MHz broadband segment. When we apply for a 3 x 3 broadband license, we will need to demonstrate that we satisfy the 90% Broadband Segment Test to obtain a 3 x 3 broadband license or the 5 x 5 Broadband Segment Test (which requires agreements with 100% of the Covered Incumbents) for a 5 x 5 broadband license. The fact that we will need to account for 90% of the licensed channels in the broadband segment before we can file for a broadband application, can lead to holdouts by Covered Incumbents. For example, a Covered Incumbent may demand compensation in an amount that is disproportionate to the cost of relocating its system or any reasonable reflection of the value of its spectrum holdings or may elect not to negotiate an agreement at all. There is no assurance, however, that we can swap or acquire sufficient channels, including purchasing additional spectrum, swapping spectrum or entering into protective agreements with Covered Incumbents, to satisfy the 90% Broadband Segment Test or the 5 x 5 Broadband Segment Test in all counties on a timely basis and on commercially reasonable terms, or at all.

The AAR holds a nationwide geographic license for six non-contiguous channels in the 900 MHz band, three of which are located within the broadband segment established by the FCC in the Report and Order. These channels are used by freight railroads and a small number of regional rails for Advanced Train Control System operations. We recognized from the outset of the 900 MHz proceedings the importance of reaching agreements with the railroads about their relocation and worked with them throughout the FCC process. The Report and Order acknowledged the agreement we had reached with the AAR. In January 2020, we formalized our Agreement with the AAR in which we agreed to provide spectrum in the 900 MHz band to enable the AAR to relocate its operations, including operations utilizing the three channels located in the 900 MHz Broadband Segment. We cancelled these licenses in June 2020 in accordance with the AAR Agreement and the FCC Report and Order. The members of the AAR appear to be on track to clear their channels during calendar year 2025. Any delays by members of the AAR to complete the clearing of their channels could delay our ability to commercialize broadband licenses and the ability of our customers to deploy 3 x 3 MHz broadband networks in the affected area, which could harm our operations and business plans.

Current wording

The AAR holds a nationwide geographic license for the 900 MHz A Block and is not subject to Mandatory Retuning Relocation from that spectrum must be on a voluntary basis and a failure to reach an agreement regarding the relocation to 220 MHz could prevent issuance of a 5 x 5 MHz broadband license in any county. We recognized from the outset of the 900 MHz proceedings the importance of reaching agreements with the railroads about their relocation and worked with them throughout the FCC process.

Our targeted utility and critical infrastructure customers are highly regulated by both federal and state agencies. Electrical utilities, for example, are regulated by federal agencies including the Department of Energy, the Department of Homeland Security, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and the NIST. We are working with each of these agencies to educate them about the potential benefits that private broadband LTE networks, technologies and solutions utilizing our spectrum assets can offer utilities. We are also working with state agencies and commissions who regulate the electrical utilities in their respective states, and who have a strong influence over electric utility buying decisions in their jurisdictions. Our goal with these state agencies and commissions is to gain their support for allowing utilities to pass the capital costs of leasing or purchasing our spectrum assets and deploying private broadband LTE networks, technologies and solutions to ratepayers, including at a customary rate of return for the utility company. To date, these initiatives have been successful with certain states in which our customers operate. We may not be successful, however, in gaining support from all of the governmental bodies that regulate our existing and future customers on a timely basis, or at all, which could hinder or delay our commercialization efforts with utilities and other entities. If we do not gain support from these governmental bodies, our targeted critical infrastructure customers may not find it commercially feasible to lease or buy our spectrum assets.

The FCC issues each spectrum license for a fixed period, typically ten years in the case of the FCC licenses for the narrowband spectrum we currently hold and 15 years for any broadband licenses we have or intend to secure in the future. The 2020 Report and Order established “performance” or build-out requirements that we will be required to meet to retain and renew any broadband licenses we obtain (“Build-out Requirements”). Performance will be measured at the six- and twelve-year anniversaries of each broadband license. The 2026 Report and Order has a specific buildout provision for licensees that expand from a 3 x 3 MHz to a 5 x 5 MHz broadband license. In general and depending on where they are in their 3 x 3 MHz buildout schedule, their deadlines for 5 x 5 MHz deployment will be extended by two years. Licenses will control the timing of when they apply to expand from a 3 x 3 MHz to a 5 x 5 MHz broadband license to coincide with their deployment progress and ability to meet modified buildout deadlines. Although we have contractual rights and remedies with our licensees in the event of their failure to meet the Build-Out Requirements, a failure to satisfy the six-year anniversary requirement accelerates the twelve-year anniversary to a ten-year anniversary requirement. A failure to satisfy these requirements could result in the FCC’s termination of a broadband license or refusal to renew a previously issued broadband license. In addition, under our business plan, we intend for our customers to be responsible to pay the build-out and operating costs of such broadband systems. Such Build-Out Requirements could impose a significant expense and could cause potential customers to decide not to license broadband licenses from us, or to seek alternative communication solutions from other providers. Additionally, if the customer fails to satisfy these requirements, we have the step in rights to meet the Build-Out Requirements which could impose a significant expense on our business.
