Page 2Table of ContentsPART I.Item 1. Business OverviewAnterix Inc. (“Anterix,” “we,” “our,” or the “Company”) is the nation’s largest holder of licensed 900 MHz spectrum (896-901/935-940 MHz) with coverage spanning the contiguous United States, Hawaii, Alaska, and Puerto Rico. Our mission is to transform critical infrastructure connectivity, commercialize our spectrum assets and deliver advanced intelligent infrastructure solutions, including private broadband networks, tower access, and turnkey connectivity management, to utility and critical infrastructure enterprises seeking to enhance operational efficiency, strengthen grid resilience, and accelerate digital transformation. During fiscal 2026, we evolved our business strategy. Building on our foundational 900 MHz spectrum position, we transitioned from a model focused predominantly on long-term spectrum leasing to a broader operating model. In the ordinary course of business, we now secure and expand our spectrum position, clear and retune spectrum, monetize spectrum through both sales and long-term leases, and develop a growing portfolio of products and services offerings around our spectrum that are designed to generate recurring revenue. Together, these activities form the foundation of how we generate revenue today and how we expect to generate revenue over time. Our new brand and visual identity, introduced during the fourth quarter, reflects this evolution.Fiscal 2026 Highlights and Accomplishments•Executed new spectrum sale agreements with CPS Energy (“CPS”), Texas-New Mexico Power (“TNMP”), and NorthWestern Energy (“NWE”).•Subsequent to year end, in April 2026, we entered into a new spectrum sale agreement with Benton PUD.•On February 18, 2026, the FCC adopted the 2026 Report and Order to expand the 900 MHz broadband segment from 6 MHz to 10 MHz.•Received $127.0 million of contracted proceeds from customers with $50 million of contracted proceeds outstanding.•Launched TowerXTM, a tower site access service, and CatalyX®, a turnkey connectivity management solution•Delivered broadband licenses to customers in 155 counties and recorded a $34.8 million gain on the sale of intangible assets.•Exchanged narrowband for broadband licenses in 219 counties and recorded a $105.•Exchanged narrowband for broadband licenses in 67 counties and recorded a $22. 4 million gain.•Repurchased 43,175 shares of Anterix stock to return capital to our stockholders for a total of $1.•Repurchased 245,292 shares of our stock to return capital to our stockholders for a total of $8. 0 million.•Evolved our business strategy from a predominantly lease-based model to a broader operating model under which we acquire, clear, sell and lease spectrum and develop products and services offerings around it, and unveiled a new brand and visual identity reflecting this evolution.Our Business StrategyOur strategy positions our 900 MHz spectrum as the linchpin of an integrated, end-to-end operating model. In the ordinary course of business, we (i) secure and expand our spectrum position, (ii) clear and retune spectrum to convert our nationwide narrowband holdings into broadband, (iii) monetize that spectrum through sales or long-term leases and (iv) develop and deliver a growing suite of products, services offerings and ecosystem solutions, including TowerX, CatalyX and the Anterix Active Ecosystem, that are designed to generate recurring revenue as customer networks are deployed and operated. Each of these activities is a recurring part of how we operate and generate revenue today and expect to generate in the future, and together they are designed to capture the full value of our spectrum across its lifecycle. We serve utility and critical infrastructure enterprises tackling the defining challenges of grid modernization, operational resilience, cybersecurity, remote automation, real-time monitoring, and AI-enabled edge applications. Our solutions are purpose-built to support digital transformation and infrastructure modernization at scale, providing the security, performance, and reliability the modern grid demands.Our value proposition increasingly extends beyond spectrum. Through TowerX, CatalyX, and the Anterix Active Ecosystem, which includes more than 150 technology innovators, we provide customers with a complete and integrated, pathway from spectrum acquisition to network deployment and operation. These offerings are designed to reduce implementation complexity, support more efficient deployment timelines, and enable scalable solutions that align with customers’ evolving operational requirements. As customers deploy and operate their networks, these offerings are designed to generate recurring revenue that extends our customer relationships beyond the initial spectrum sale or lease.As previously noted, in February 2026 the FCC unanimously adopted its 2026 Report and Order, “Maximizing the Potential of the 900 MHz Band,” enabling broadband deployment across the full 10 megahertz of the band. This action enhances the utility and capacity of our spectrum holdings and supports the continued development of our platform and ecosystem.Page 3Table of ContentsEvolution of Our Operating ModelToday, acquiring, clearing, selling, leasing and developing products and services offerings around our spectrum are all undertaken in the ordinary course of business. This represents a change from our historical approach, under which we monetized spectrum predominantly through long-term leases and sold spectrum assets only to utilities operating within Complex Systems on a case-by-case basis. During fiscal 2026, as the market matured and utilities increasingly focused on selecting the ownership structure (sale or lease) that best aligned with their operational, regulatory and financial objectives, we evolved our commercial approach to meet customers through either structure. As a result of this change in strategy, spectrum sale agreements entered into after December 31, 2025 are entered into in the ordinary course of business, and the related revenue and cost of sales are recognized on a gross basis in accordance with ASC 606. The products and services offerings we develop around our spectrum are designed to generate recurring revenue as customer networks are deployed and operated, supporting revenue generation on an ongoing basis. For the discussion of the change in our spectrum sale agreement accounting and presentation, refer to Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained within this Annual Report.Our Spectrum Assets Our spectrum is our most valuable owned asset. We acquired the majority of our 900 MHz spectrum, along with certain related equipment, from Sprint in September 2014. We acquired the majority of our 900 MHz spectrum and certain related equipment from Sprint in September 2014. In the 900 MHz band, the FCC historically allocated approximately 10 MHz of spectrum, sub-divided into 40 10-channel blocks (for a total of 399 contiguous channels) alternating between blocks designated for the operation of SMR commercial systems and blocks designated for B/ILT, with the FCC’s rules also enabling B/ILT licenses to be converted to SMR use.In the 900 MHz band, the FCC historically allocated approximately 10 MHz of spectrum, sub-divided into 40 10-channel blocks (for a total of 399 contiguous channels) alternating between blocks designated for the operation of SMR commercial systems and blocks designated for B/ILT, with the FCC’s rules also enabling B/ILT licenses to be converted to SMR use. Subsequently, the FCC conducted overlay auctions on the SMR designated blocks that awarded geographic-based licenses on an MTA basis while affording operational protection to incumbent, site-based licensees in those areas. Certain MTA licenses have been returned to the FCC. In addition, the FCC never auctioned the 20 blocks of B/ILT spectrum in the United States. In addition, the FCC never auctioned the 20 blocks of B/ILT spectrum in some parts of the United States. The licensees acquired site-based licenses utilizing this spectrum through the initial application and coordination procedure, which has been frozen since 2017. As a result, the FCC is currently holding over 28% of 900 MHz narrowband spectrum in its inventory throughout the United States. We hold, or have held, licenses nationwide that cover over 59% of MHz Population (“MHzPop”) in the 900 MHz band in the United States.Broadband LicensesAs of March 31, 2026, we were cumulatively granted by the FCC broadband licenses for 419 counties, inclusive of 159 licenses transferred to customers.Page 3Table of ContentsBroadband licensesAs of March 31, 2025, we were cumulatively granted by the FCC broadband licenses for 194 counties, inclusive of licenses transferred. As a result, we relinquished to the FCC our narrowband licenses and if necessary, made the Anti-Windfall Payments for the same 419 counties, as required by the Report and Order. As a result, we relinquished to the FCC our narrowband licenses and if necessary made the Anti-Windfall Payments for the same 194 counties, as required by the Report and Order. Converting our Nationwide Narrowband 900 MHz Spectrum Position to BroadbandThe conversion of our spectrum holdings from narrowband to broadband licenses on a nationwide basis is a foundational element of our two-pronged strategy and supports the execution of our broader business objectives.Converting our Nationwide Narrowband 900 MHz Spectrum Position to BroadbandConverting our spectrum from narrowband to broadband licenses nationwide is a foundational component of our two-pronged strategy as it provides the underpinning for achieving our business strategy. To achieve this conversion, we are focused on clearing incumbents out of the broadband license segment and obtaining broadband licenses in counties (i) in which we have customer contracts, (ii) where we believe we have near-term commercial prospects, or (iii) that we consider strategically advantageous to optimize the cost of broadband licensing over time. To achieve this conversion, we are focused on intentionally clearing incumbents out of the broadband license segment and obtaining broadband licenses in counties (i) in which we have customer contracts, (ii) where we believe we have near-term commercial prospects, or (iii) that may be strategically advantageous to achieve optimum costs for broadband licenses over time. Secure Broadband LicensesIn the Report and Order, the FCC chose to make counties the “base unit of measure” for calculating whether an entity is eligible to hold a broadband license. As a result of this decision and our extensive accumulated spectrum holdings, Anterix, and only Anterix, is an essential party in every one of the nation’s 3,233 counties. As a result of this decision and our extensive accumulated spectrum holdings, Anterix—and only Anterix—is an essential party in every one of the nation’s 3,233 counties. While we intend to prioritize our spectrum transactions in areas where we have identified customer opportunities, we also plan to pursue spectrum transactions opportunistically to generate returns on our investment in spectrum clearing costs. And while we intend to continue to prioritize our spectrum transactions in areas where we have customer opportunities, we also plan to pursue spectrum transactions opportunistically to recognize a positive return on our investments in spectrum clearing costs. We have taken a proactive approach to these efforts and have completed and expect to continue pursuing spectrum transactions to support our efforts to satisfy the broadband license eligibility requirements. We have been proactive in this effort and to date have completed, and intend to continue to pursue spectrum transactions to support our efforts to satisfy the broadband license eligibility requirements. Clear Covered IncumbentsWe have been proactive in our spectrum clearing efforts in anticipation of the broadband licensing process.Clear Covered IncumbentsWe have been proactive in our clearing efforts in preparation for the broadband licensing process. Our dedicated clearing team is focused on negotiating agreements to transition Covered Incumbents from the 3 x 3 MHz broadband segment of the 900 MHz spectrum band into segments designated for continued narrowband operations within the 900 MHz band or, where appropriate, out of 900 MHz band entirely. Our dedicated clearing team is focused on negotiating agreements to move Covered Incumbents from the broadband segment of the 900 MHz spectrum band to the segments allocated for continued narrowband operations within the 900 MHz band or out of 900 MHz band entirely. To date, we have successfully negotiated and executed agreements representing approximately 87% of the transactions required to clear the licensed 900 MHz Broadband segment channels, including six Complex Systems.Page 4Table of ContentsDeploying our Commercial and Product Business OfferingFollowing the completion of the 2020 Report and Order and the subsequent work to advance deployment of broadband in the 900 MHz band, we have entered the second key prong of our strategy: establishing our commercial position and accelerating adoption of our primary commercial offering.Deploying our Commercial Business OfferingWith the initial Report and Order completed and the work we have done since then to pave the way for the deployment of broadband in the 900 MHz band, we have moved into the second key prong of our strategy of establishing our commercial position and accelerating adoption of our principal commercial business offering. We are implementing this strategy through a coordinated set of initiatives including:•targeted outreach and education by our sales, marketing, business development, commercial operations and industry government affairs teams;•participation in the Utilities Broadband Alliance (“UBBA”), other industry associations and at relevant industry events;•engaging with vendors to expand the Anterix Active Ecosystem (“AAE”);•advancement or our Utility Strategic Advisory Board (“USAB”);•provision of connectivity and SIM management through CatalyX; and•deployment of tower access and optimization services through TowerX.The primary objective of our business is to monetize the broadband licenses we secure to customers. Based on our analysis and discussions with current and prospective customers to date, we are observing strong and growing indications of demand for PLTE networks using 900 MHz spectrum. Based upon our analysis and discussions with current and potential customers to date, we are seeing strong and growing indications of Demonstrated Intent for PLTE networks using 900 MHz spectrum. Under our model, we are responsible for the costs associated with securing the broadband licenses from the FCC, including clearing costs and satisfying broadband eligibility requirements. In contrast, we expect that our customers will fund the deployment and ongoing operation of their private broadband networks, technologies and related solutions. By contrast, we expect that most of our customers will bear the costs of deploying and operating their private broadband networks, technologies and solutions. In addition, we continue to evaluate additional opportunities to provide value-added solutions and services to utilities and other critical infrastructure industries in support of network deployment, operations, and grid modernization initiatives.Accordingly, our approach to advancing this strategy includes: 1) progressing prospective customers through the pipeline by supporting their evaluation and decision making process related to private wireless networks; 2) engaging with federal and state agencies to encourage policies that support the investment in and deployment of PLTE solutions in the 900 MHz band; 3) participating in demonstrations and testing with organizations such as the National Renewable Energy Lab (“NREL”), Pacific Northwest National Lab and National Institute of Standards and Technology (“NIST”) to validate PLTE benefits; 4) developing expanded value-added product and services offerings; 5) enabling and scaling the AAE; 6) engaging through UBBA and other relevant industry associations to promote our solution; 7) enhancing product and deployment execution to connect and secure devices that measure, monitor, or control the flow of power; and 8) continuously evaluating opportunities to expand use cases for private wireless broadband networks built on 900 MHz broadband spectrum.Accordingly, our approach to driving the second key prong of our strategy includes: 1) advancing our potential customers through the pipeline by assisting them with their decisions and evaluation process of private wireless networks; 2) Page 4Table of Contentsencouraging federal and state agencies to support the investment and deployment of PLTE solutions in the 900 MHz band by utilities and critical infrastructure companies; 3) participating in demonstrations and tests with laboratories such as National Renewable Energy Lab (“NREL”), Pacific Northwest National Lab and National Institute of Standards and Technology (“NIST”) to validate the benefits of PLTE systems; 4) developing expanded value-added business offerings; 5) enabling and growing the AAE; 6) participating in UBBA and other relevant industry associations to promote our solution; and 7) continually evaluating potential opportunities to expand the application of private wireless broadband networks built on 900 MHz Broadband Spectrum. Continue to Build the Customer PipelineOur sales and support teams are actively working in coordination with representatives from our target customers, LTE infrastructure vendors, end-user device manufacturers, system integrators and other technology companies in addition to responding to Requests for Information (“RFI”), Requests for Proposals (“RFP”) and requests to support technology trials related to using our 900 MHz spectrum for broadband services. More specifically, these teams are working in coordination with representatives from our target customers, LTE infrastructure vendors, end-user device manufacturers, system integrators and other technology companies in addition to responding to Requests for Information (“RFI”), Requests for Proposals (“RFP”) and requests to support technology trials related to using our 900 MHz spectrum for broadband services. Currently, there is one experimental license granted to noncustomer utilities and four experimental licenses granted to other vendors and labs to showcase and promote the use of 900 MHz Broadband Spectrum. Currently, there are three experimental licenses granted to noncustomer utilities and three experimental licenses granted to other vendors and labs to showcase and promote 900 MHz Broadband Spectrum. Build Support with Federal and State AgenciesThe vast majority of our targeted critical infrastructure customers are highly regulated by both federal and state agencies. Electric utilities, for example, may be regulated by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, the Public Utilities Commissions within the states they serve and/or other state and municipal governance and regulatory bodies. Other agencies that guide utility regulations include the Department of Energy, the Department of Homeland Security, and NIST, as well as regional transmission organizations and independent system operators. We are working with each of these agencies to educate them about the security, reliability and priority access benefits that private broadband wireless networks, technologies and solutions can offer to utilities. We are also working with a number of state agencies and commissions that regulate electric utilities and have a strong influence over electric utility investment decisions. We are also working with a number of state agencies and commissions who regulate electric utilities and have a strong influence over electric utility investment decisions. Our goal with these stakeholders is to ensure they have the appropriate information and are properly educated on the substantial benefits of utility-scale private wireless broadband networks for end-use customers so they can confidently approve investments made by utilities including the costs of procuring our spectrum assets and deploying private broadband LTE networks, technologies and solutions into their respective rate making filings. Our goal with these stakeholders is to ensure they have the right information and are properly educated on the immense benefits of utility-scale private wireless broadband networks for end-use customers so they can confidently approve investments made by utilities including the costs of procuring our spectrum assets and deploying private broadband LTE networks, technologies and solutions into their respective rate making filings. Their understanding and appreciation that utility control of communications for grid modernization programs enhances the utilities’ ability to provide safe, secure, reliable and resilient electricity for ratepayers is essential. When included in rate bases, utilities are permitted to recover costs and earn a customary rate of return on these prudent investments.Page 5Table of ContentsEngagement in UBBA and Industry AssociationsTo further support pipeline development and accelerate ecosystem adoption, we continue to expand our engagement through industry alliances and advisory initiatives. The UBBA membership currently includes 38 electric utilities and subsidiaries among its more than 100 members.The UBBA membership currently includes 38 electric utilities and subsidiaries among its over 100 members. The AAE targets the Nation’s electric grid innovators and includes participation of over 150 innovative technology companies that provide deployment and application solutions for private broadband networks. The AAE targets our Nation’s electric grid innovators and includes participation of over 125 innovative technology companies that provide deployment and application solutions for private broadband. We launched the AAE to foster, strengthen, and expand the landscape of 900 MHz devices, services offerings and solutions. Participation from the broad range of technology innovators is intended to bring significant value to utilities and other critical infrastructure providers who deploy PLTE. Participation from the broad range of technology innovators can bring extensive value to utilities and other critical infrastructure providers who deploy PLTE. Our USAB is composed of executives from both current and prospective utility customers, offering strategic guidance on issues where we can harness collective action to benefit their respective organizations, especially through the AAE, and other strategic initiatives.Develop a Roadmap for Expanded ServicesThrough our day-to-day interactions with prospective utility and critical infrastructure customers, and our responses and subsequent discussions related to RFIs and RFPs, we have identified additional areas of opportunity to support our current and prospective customers in the implementation and operation of PLTE networks. We are actively evaluating solutions to address these customer needs, including using our internal expertise, collaborating with industry partners and working with specific service providers.Identify and Evaluate New Opportunities for Our SpectrumThe wireless communications industry is highly competitive and subject to rapid regulatory, technological and market changes. A key part of our business strategy is to continually monitor changes in the wireless industry and to evaluate how these changes could enable us to maximize the value of our spectrum assets. Additionally, although we are initially focusing on the electric utility industry, we have identified other customer groups, including ports, railroads, water, oil and gas facilities, and mining operations, where we believe there is both customer demand and a good fit for the private wireless broadband networks, technologies, and solutions that our spectrum assets could support. Additionally, Lynk Global, Inc. recently requested experimental authority from the FCC to use 900 MHz spectrum to communicate with our mobile and fixed wireless devices at certain test locations. This test is consistent with the new generation of commercial satellite providers enabling Direct-to-Device services using low-band spectrum. Another example of the demand for low-band spectrum are several pending acquisitions of 600 MHz broadband spectrum licenses for a significant premium to the price for these licenses at FCC auction.CatalyXCatalyX is the first AAE commercial service on our integrated platform. CatalyX is a turnkey connectivity management solution that helps utilities realize the benefits of private broadband networks, while leveraging commercial broadband networks. CatalyX simplifies connectivity management by integrating state-of-the-art SIM technology, device SIM management, and private to public roaming to deliver the flexibility and security that utilities require.Utilities can now efficiently and securely deploy and manage smart grid devices on a private network while optimizing broadband coverage in their service territories. CatalyX provides control and visibility of devices, whether they are connected to the private or public radio access network. With CatalyX, utilities can manage each device SIM remotely, which can reduce operational costs and risks. Through a single dashboard, all aspects of device connectivity can be monitored and managed including connecting to both public and private networks. Utilities can achieve enhanced coverage at various service locations, by connecting to their PLTE network, or roaming on multiple carrier commercial networks.TowerXWe partnered with Crown Castle, one of the nation’s largest tower companies, to deliver Anterix TowerX, a turnkey, streamlined path to 900 MHz private wireless network deployments, combining a portfolio of qualified tower sites with comprehensive site development. TowerX standardizes processes, leverages collective experience, and delivers measurable benefits helping utilities control costs, reduce project delays, and ensure tower assets are optimized for long-term operational needs. Utilities participating in TowerX will have access to a broad network of tower infrastructure across the U.S. including Crown Castle’s 40,000 plus sites enabling faster deployment of 900 MHz private wireless networks. This collaborative approach enables a more efficient path to connect critical assets, strengthen operational resilience, and enable grid modernization at scale.Enable the Anterix Active Ecosystem with U.S. Band 8 and Band 106Our spectrum assets are located in the international 3GPP global standard Band 8 channel which is a frequency division duplex pair assigned to the 880 - 915 / 925 - 960 MHz spectrum bands. Band 8Our spectrum assets are located in the international 3GPP global standard Band 8 channel which is a frequency division duplex pair assigned to the 880 - 915 / 925 - 960 MHz spectrum bands. This pairing is aligned for use with both 4G and 5G technologies and is currently being utilized with commercial LTE and 5G broadband networks globally in Asia, Europe, and other parts of the world. Our efforts are ongoing to facilitate continued adoption of 900 MHz Band 8 radio access network Page 6Table of Contentsequipment and end-user devices in the U. Our efforts are ongoing to facilitate continued adoption of 900 MHz Band 8 radio access network equipment and end-user devices in the U. S. by working with chipmakers and module and device vendors to help ensure that customers who deploy 900 MHz for private wireless networks have timely access to 3GPP standards-compliant Band 8 devices that meet the technical operating specifications established in the FCC’s Report and Order. We also worked with an FCC certification testing lab to develop testing protocols to enable more efficient and streamlined certification of devices for use in the United States. We also worked with an FCC certification testing lab to develop testing protocols to enable quick certification of devices for use in the United States. The benefit of working with a global standard is that many existing devices, network components, and solutions are well suited for the operating environment of our targeted critical infrastructure and enterprise customers. The benefit of working with a global standard is that many existing devices, network components, and solutions are well suited for the working environment of our targeted critical infrastructure and enterprise customers. Global standards also provide a long-term path for technology evolution, ensuring forward and backward compatibility, all these benefits therefore extend to Anterix customers. Global standards also provide an LTE path for technology, ensuring forward and backward compatibility, all these benefits therefore extend to Anterix customers. Additionally, we successfully led and completed initiatives in 3GPP to secure enhancements to the US 900 MHz spectrum to benefit our customers, including the designation of a new band, both for LTE and 5G, which received worldwide wireless industry support. We are also working within 3GPP to develop technical specifications for 6G. 3GPP has approved and incorporated Band 106 and n106 in its specifications, designated for LTE and 5G respectively, as a subset of Band 8 in the US.Our Broadband Market OpportunityWe have currently identified utility and critical infrastructure enterprises as the primary customers for our current and future broadband spectrum assets. We have further identified the electric utility industry as our primary target customer group. We believe that security, priority access, low latency, redundancy, private ownership, control and unique coverage requirements are among the reasons utility and critical infrastructure enterprises would be interested in obtaining rights to deploy private wireless broadband networks, technologies and solutions that can be enabled through use of our licensed spectrum. We believe that security, priority access, latency, redundancy, private ownership, control and unique coverage requirements are just some of the reasons utility and critical infrastructure enterprises would be interested in obtaining rights to deploy the private wireless broadband networks, technologies and solutions that can be enabled through use of our licensed spectrum. The electric utility industry is undergoing a fundamental transformation. Grid modernization efforts and the drive to reduce carbon emissions have changed the need for utilities to build new large-scale, centralized facilities. Grid modernization efforts and the drive to reduce carbon emissions have disrupted the need for utilities to build new large-scale, centralized facilities. Today, power is generated by smaller, more geographically distributed facilities that can switch from a power producer to a recipient of power generated by a variety of other disparate sources, including wind and solar installations. Grid architecture must now accommodate end-users that are both generators and consumers, converting back and forth rapidly and carrying power in both directions, something the existing grid was not originally designed to handle. Technological advancements have produced sensors and smart devices to enable the emerging two-way grid and offer operators the ability to control and run the grid efficiently, safely and reliably. Technological advancements have produced sensors and smart devices to enable the new two-way grid and offer operators the ability to control and run the grid efficiently, safely and reliably. The legacy communications systems utilized by many utilities have increasing levels of interference and/or higher cyber threats, are not designed to handle this new data load, are inefficient and costly to maintain, and, in many cases, have associated equipment that is approaching end of life. The legacy communications systems utilized by many utilities have increasing interference and/or higher cyber threats, are not designed to handle this new data load, are inefficient and costly to maintain, and, in many cases, have associated equipment that is approaching end of life. The 900 MHz private wireless network allows utilities to have full control of the design, construction, and operation of their network. Utility mission-critical applications are prioritized, even in situations when other networks become overloaded or experience disruptions. Such control fosters heightened efficiency, resiliency, security, and responsiveness. This is more relevant than ever in light of recent extreme weather events.Commercial and Product DevelopmentsWe have invested in building our business development, sales, marketing and other support teams, which include both external and internal resources, to help foster our evolving customer relationships in furtherance of growing and maturing our pipeline.Commercial DevelopmentsWe have invested in building our business development, sales, marketing and other support teams, which include both external and internal resources, to help foster our evolving customer relationships in furtherance of growing and maturing our pipeline.

Total consideration included $7.5 million in estimated reimbursable clearing costs and Anti-Windfall Payments of which $5.6 million was realized.6 million people. Motorola LeaseIn 2014, we entered into an agreement with Motorola (the “2014 Motorola Spectrum Agreement”) to lease a portion of our 900 MHz licenses in exchange for an upfront, fully paid lease fee of $7.5 million and a $10 million investment in our subsidiary, PDV Spectrum Holding Company, LLC (the “Subsidiary”), which we formed to hold our 900 MHz spectrum licenses. Motorola’s investment in the Subsidiary was convertible, at the option of either party, into shares of our common stock at a price equal to $20.00 per share (the “Conversion Right”). In May 2022, Motorola exercised its Conversion Right, and we issued Motorola 500,000 shares of our common stock (the “Shares”) in conversion of Motorola’s ownership of 500,000 Class B Units (the “Units”) in our Subsidiary. In June 2022, we filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-265930) to register the 500,000 shares of our common stock held by Motorola for resale or other disposition by Motorola (the “Resale Registration Statement”). The Resale Registration Statement was declared effective by the SEC on July 15, 2022.Motorola is not entitled to any profits, dividends, or other distribution from the operations of the Subsidiary. Under the terms of the 2014 Motorola Spectrum Agreement, Motorola can use the leased channels to provide narrowband services to certain qualified end-users. The end-users can only use the leased channels for their internal communication purposes. The end-users cannot sublease the channels to any other end-users or any commercial radio system operations or carriers. The 2014 Motorola Spectrum Agreement limits the total number of channels that Motorola can lease in any market area. It also provides us with flexibility regarding the future use and management of our spectrum, including relocation and repurposing policies designed to facilitate any necessary realignment of frequencies that may be associated with our efforts to clear spectrum for broadband uses.As of December 31, 2024, we recognized all the revenue associated with the 2014 Motorola Spectrum Agreement.CompetitionOur competitors include spectrum holders, retail wireless network providers, such as Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile, 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.CompetitionOur 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. The buyer of this spectrum has indicated it may make this spectrum available to our target utility customers. If the buyer of this spectrum does elect 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 and reduce the price 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. If the buyer of this spectrum does elect 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 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.

In addition, many of our competitors have more resources, substantially greater product development and marketing budgets, greater name and brand recognition, a significantly greater base of customers in which to spread their operating costs and more financial and personnel resources than we do. All of these factors could prevent, delay or increase the costs of commercializing the broadband licenses we secure to our targeted customers.In addition, these and other competitors have developed or may develop services, technologies, products and solutions that directly compete with the broadband networks, technologies, products and solutions that can be deployed with our spectrum assets. If competitors offer services, technologies, products and solutions to our targeted customers at prices and terms that make the licensing of our spectrum assets unattractive, we may be unable to attract customers at prices or on terms that would be favorable, or at all, which could have an adverse effect on our financial results and prospects.Further, the FCC and other federal, state and local governmental authorities could adopt new regulations or take actions, including making additional spectrum available that can be utilized by our targeted customers, which could harm our ability to license our spectrum assets.Page 9Table of ContentsFurther, the FCC and other federal, state and local governmental authorities could adopt new regulations or take actions, including making additional spectrum available that can be utilized by our targeted customers, which could harm our ability to license our spectrum assets. For example, the federal government created and funded the First Responder Network Authority (“FRNA”), which the federal government authorized to help accomplish, fund, and oversee the deployment of a dedicated Nationwide Public Safety Broadband Network (“NPSBN”), which is marketed as “FirstNet.” The NPSBN is an additional source of competition to our 900 MHz spectrum assets by our targeted utility and critical infrastructure enterprises.” The NPSBN is an additional source of competition to utilizing our 900 MHz spectrum assets by our targeted utility and critical infrastructure enterprises. Our FCC InitiativesThe 3 x 3 900 MHz 2020 Report and OrderOn May 13, 2020, the FCC approved the 2020 Report and Order to modernize and realign the 900 MHz band to increase its usability and capacity by allowing it to be utilized for the deployment of broadband networks, technologies and solutions.The 900 MHz Report and OrderOn May 13, 2020, the FCC approved the Report and Order to modernize and realign the 900 MHz band to increase its usability and capacity by allowing it to be utilized for the deployment of broadband networks, technologies and solutions. In the 2020 Report and Order, the FCC reconfigured the 900 MHz band to create a 6 MHz broadband segment (240 channels) and two narrowband segments, consisting of a 3 MHz narrowband segment (120 channels) and a 1 MHz narrowband segment (39 channels). In the Report and Order, the FCC reconfigured the 900 MHz band to create a 6 MHz broadband segment (240 channels) and two narrowband segments, consisting of a 3 MHz narrowband segment (120 channels) and a 1 MHz narrowband segment (39 channels). FIGURE I below illustrates the FCC realignment as outlined in the Report and Order.FIGURE IThe Role of the CountyUnder the 2020 Report and Order, the FCC established the “county” as the base unit of measure in determining whether a broadband applicant is eligible to secure a broadband license.FIGURE IThe Role of the CountyUnder the Report and Order, the FCC established the “county” as the base unit of measure in determining whether a broadband applicant is eligible to secure a broadband license. There are 3,233 counties in the United States, including Puerto Rico and other U.S. territories.3 x 3 Broadband License Eligibility RequirementsThe 2020 Report and Order established three eligibility requirements to obtain broadband licenses in a county, which we refer to herein as (i) the “50% Licensed Spectrum Test,” (ii) the “90% Broadband Segment Test” and (iii) the “240 Channel Requirement.Broadband License Eligibility RequirementsThe Report and Order establishes three eligibility requirements to obtain broadband licenses in a county, which we refer to herein as (i) the “50% Licensed Spectrum Test,” (ii) the “90% Broadband Segment Test” and (iii) the “240 Channel Requirement. ”Treatment of Complex SystemsThe 2020 Report and Order exempts Complex Systems from the Mandatory Retuning process, even when a broadband applicant meets the 90% Broadband Segment Test, because retuning these systems would potentially be disruptive to the operators.”Treatment of Complex SystemsThe Report and Order exempts Complex Systems from the Mandatory Retuning process, even when a broadband applicant meets the 90% Broadband Segment Test, because retuning these systems would potentially be disruptive to the operators.

Page 10Table of ContentsThe Association of American RailroadsThe nation’s railroads, particularly the major freight lines, had operated on six narrowband 900 MHz channels licensed to their trade association, the Association of American Railroads (“AAR”).Page 10Table of ContentsThe Association of American RailroadsThe nation’s railroads, particularly the major freight lines, operate on six narrowband 900 MHz channels licensed to their trade association, the Association of American Railroads (“AAR”). Three of these narrowband channels were located in the 3 x 3 MHz broadband segment and three were in the lower narrowband segment. Three of these narrowband channels are located in the 900 MHz Broadband Segment created by the FCC. Pursuant to a January 2020 agreement between us and AAR, AAR agreed to vacate their narrowband channels, to be replaced by a nationwide license for the 900 MHz A Block. The FCC required us to cancel our A Block licenses, which was completed in June 2020, after which the FCC modified the AAR license to authorize use of the A Block channels. Consistent with the agreement, all narrowband channels have been deleted from the AAR license effective September 17, 2025. The FCC has credited us for our cancelled licenses for purposes of determining our eligibility to secure broadband licenses and the calculation of any Anti-Windfall Payments.Broadband Licensing ProcessIn May 2021, the FCC’s Wireless Telecommunication Bureau released a Public Notice detailing the application requirements and timeline for obtaining broadband licenses. The broadband licensing process includes filing an application with the FCC for new wireless licenses, completing an Eligibility Certification and developing a Transition Plan describing the agreements the prospective broadband applicant has entered into with Covered Incumbents. The broadband licensing process includes filing an application with the FCC used for new wireless licenses, completing an Eligibility Certification and developing a Transition Plan describing the agreements the prospective broadband applicant has entered into with Covered Incumbents. We have filed applications based on the timing of customer opportunities, strategic initiatives and our spectrum clearing results and shortly thereafter surrendered our underlying licenses. We intend to pursue and file applications based on the timing of customer opportunities, strategic initiatives and our spectrum clearing results and shortly thereafter surrender our underlying licenses. The Anti-Windfall Payment to the U.S. Treasury for any spectrum we obtain from the FCC’s inventory to reach the 240 Channel Requirement will be made as soon as possible after the FCC provides us the amount due for these channels. In cases where we have satisfied the 90% Broadband Segment Test but have not reached an agreement with all Covered Incumbents, the Mandatory Retuning process may commence after we receive the broadband license.1.50% Licensed Spectrum Test. To be eligible for a broadband license in a particular county, a broadband applicant must demonstrate that it holds more than 50% of the outstanding licensed channels in that county. As noted above, the 900 MHz band is made up of a maximum of 399 channels in each county. The FCC has licensed less than the maximum number of 399 channels in all but the most populous counties. Because the 50% Licensed Spectrum Test is based on licensed channels, any channels that are not licensed by the FCC are not included in the denominator when determining whether the broadband applicant has satisfied this test. As of the date of this filing, we alone satisfy the 50% Licensed Spectrum Test in approximately 3,200 counties of the 3,233 counties in the United States and its territories. MAP 2 below illustrates our licensed channels (including those pending applications with the FCC) by county in the entire 900 MHz band segment created by the 2020 Report and Order.Page 11Table of Contents2.90% Broadband Segment Test. The second test, the 90% Broadband Segment Test, addresses the balance between a voluntary market process to clear any Covered Incumbent and the Mandatory Retuning process established by the FCC in the 2020 Report and Order (which applies to all Covered Incumbents, except for those Covered Incumbents operating Complex Systems. The second test, the 90% Broadband Segment Test, addresses the balance between a voluntary market process to clear any Covered Incumbent and the Mandatory Retuning process established by the FCC in the Report and Order (which applies to all Covered Incumbents, except for those Covered Incumbents operating Complex Systems. This test requires the broadband applicant to hold, have agreements with or protect Covered Incumbents equal to 90% or more of the licensed channels in the broadband segment in a particular county and within 70 miles of the county’s boundaries before the FCC will issue a broadband license. The broadband segment in the 900 MHz band has a total of 240 channels. The 90% Broadband Segment Test is calculated using outstanding licensed channels, which means that if the FCC has licensed all 240 channels, the broadband applicant would be required to have control of, or agreements covering, 216 channels within the broadband segment. In most counties in the United States, the FCC has licensed fewer than 240 channels in the broadband segment, and these unlicensed channels are not included in the denominator when determining whether the broadband applicant has satisfied this 90% Broadband Segment Test.A broadband applicant can satisfy the 90% Broadband Segment Test by purchasing or canceling channels from Covered Incumbents for cash or other consideration, by paying to relocate Covered Incumbents to replacement spectrum channels outside the broadband segment, or by demonstrating that the broadband applicant’s facilities will be far enough from the Covered Incumbent’s narrowband system to ensure the two types of networks are separate.Before filing for a broadband license, the broadband applicant must satisfy the 90% Broadband Segment Test by utilizing its channel holdings and negotiating with Covered Incumbents on a purely voluntary basis for any additional channels it requires to satisfy this test. Only after the 50% Licensed Spectrum Test and the 90% Broadband Segment Test are both satisfied will the FCC issue to the broadband applicant a broadband license. We can request a Mandatory Retuning of any Covered Incumbents that remain in the broadband segment (other than Complex Systems) which are required to negotiate in good faith with the broadband applicant to sell their channels or otherwise clear the 900 MHz Broadband Segment, subject to intervention by the FCC if the parties cannot reach an agreement.MAP 3 below illustrates our licensed holdings (including those pending applications with the FCC) and the licensed holdings we have under contract by county in the 6 MHz broadband segment created by the 2020 Report and Order. This map does not reflect licenses that may meet the protection criteria as that is evaluated on a county basis as each broadband transition plan is prepared.Page 12Table of Contents3.240 Channel Requirement. The 2020 Report and Order requires the broadband applicant to surrender 6 MHz of narrowband spectrum (or 240 channels) in the applicable county to the FCC in exchange for a broadband license. The Report and Order requires the broadband applicant to surrender 6 MHz of narrowband spectrum (or 240 channels) in the applicable county to the FCC in exchange for a broadband license. If the broadband applicant does not have sufficient channels in the county to return 240 channels to the FCC, it can elect to make an Anti-Windfall Payment to the U.S. Treasury to purchase spectrum. The Anti-Windfall Payment for these channels will be based on prices paid in the applicable county in the 600 MHz auction conducted by the FCC. To satisfy the 240 Channel Requirement, the broadband applicant has the option on a county-by-county basis to determine whether it is more cost-effective to make the Anti-Windfall Payment, purchase channels from incumbents (where available), or possibly a combination of both.Importantly, the markets where we may need to make Anti-Windfall Payments to effectively have 240 channels are generally in smaller urban, suburban and rural markets. Our spectrum position is greatest in the largest, most populated and therefore most expensive markets, with a few exceptions as shown in MAP 4 below. Although we will need to make Anti-Windfall Payments to secure broadband licenses in most counties, the average cost in aggregate for the channels will be lower than the nationwide average amount of $0.93 per MHzPop paid in the FCC’s 600 MHz auction.Page 13Table of ContentsThe 5 x 5 900 MHz 2026 Report and OrderOn February 18, 2026, the 2026 Report and Order was adopted unanimously by the FCC to “address the critical demand and growing need for private broadband networks in the 900 MHz band, allowing users to leverage broadband capacity for more advanced and robust networks.” In the 2026 Report and Order, the FCC reconfigured the 900 MHz band to allow a 10 MHz broadband segment consisting of two 5 MHz broadband segments. FIGURE I above illustrates the FCC realignment as outlined in the 2026 Report and Order. FIGURE I below illustrates the FCC realignment as outlined in the Report and Order. The Association of American RailroadsAs indicated in the 2026 Report and Order, voluntary negotiation applies to the AAR, which holds a nationwide license for the 900 MHz A Block (896.0125-896.1250/935.0125-935.1250 MHz) as discussed above. Authority has been delegated to the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau (WTB) to facilitate AAR’s potential solution of relocating from the 900 MHz band to the 220 MHz band, including by allowing access to 220 MHz spectrum held in FCC inventory for a frequency exchange and taking other steps to expedite and streamline any waiver requests needed to promote 900 MHz broadband access while ensuring rail safety.5 x 5 Broadband License Eligibility RequirementsThe 2026 Report and Order established three eligibility requirements to obtain broadband licenses in a county, which we refer to herein as (i) the “5 x 5 50% Licensed Spectrum Test,” (ii) the “5 x 5 Broadband Segment Test” and (iii) the “399 Channel Requirement.Broadband License Eligibility RequirementsThe Report and Order establishes three eligibility requirements to obtain broadband licenses in a county, which we refer to herein as (i) the “50% Licensed Spectrum Test,” (ii) the “90% Broadband Segment Test” and (iii) the “240 Channel Requirement. ”1.5 x 5 50% Licensed Spectrum Test.50% Licensed Spectrum Test. To be eligible for a 5 x 5 broadband license in a particular county, a broadband applicant must demonstrate that it holds more than 50% of the outstanding licensed channels in that county. To be eligible for a broadband license in a particular county, a broadband applicant must demonstrate that it holds more than 50% of the outstanding licensed channels in that county. A 5 x 5 broadband applicant can rely on either its 3 x 3 broadband license and/or its 900 MHz SMR and B/ILT spectrum to meet the 50% threshold in the relevant county. The main difference between the 5 x 5 and 3 x 3 900 MHz broadband configurations is that the starting point for a 5 x 5 license may be either the narrowband channel configuration or a 3 x 3 broadband segment configuration. This ensures that existing 3 x 3 broadband licensees may expand their broadband operations if it otherwise meets the eligibility criteria.2.5 x 5 Broadband Segment Test. 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 but may invoke Mandatory Retuning of channels in the 3 x 3 MHz broadband segment held by those licensees. Mandatory Retuning does not apply to any Covered Incumbent channels in the two narrowband segments.Page 14Table of Contents3.399 Channel Requirement.240 Channel Requirement. The 2026 Report and Order requires the broadband applicant to surrender 399 channels or 3 x 3 broadband license with 159 narrowband channels in the applicable county to the FCC in exchange for a 5 x 5 broadband license. If the broadband applicant does not have sufficient channels in the county to return 399 channels and/or 3 x 3 broad band license with 159 channels to the FCC, it must make an Anti-Windfall Payment to the U. If the broadband applicant does not have sufficient channels in the county to return 240 channels to the FCC, it can elect to make an Anti-Windfall Payment to the U. S. Treasury to purchase spectrum. The Anti-Windfall Payment for these channels will be based on prices paid in the applicable county in the 600 MHz auction conducted by the FCC. To satisfy the 399 Channel Requirement or broadband licenses and narrowband channel requirements, the broadband applicant has the option on a county-by-county basis to determine whether it is more cost-effective to make the Anti-Windfall Payment, purchase channels from incumbents (where available), or possibly a combination of both. To satisfy the 240 Channel Requirement, the broadband applicant has the option on a county-by-county basis to determine whether it is more cost-effective to make the Anti-Windfall Payment, purchase channels from incumbents (where available), or possibly a combination of both. 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 broadband license. In general, and depending on where they are in their 3 x 3 buildout schedule, their deadlines for 5 x 5 MHz deployment will be extended by two years. Licensees will control the timing of when they apply to expand from a 3 x 3 to a 5 x 5 broadband license to coincide with their deployment progress and ability to meet modified buildout deadlines. The FCC retained the 600 MHz auction prices to calculate the per county Anti-Windfall Payments discussed above, but upon publication of the 2026 Report and Order in the Federal Register, the county population will be based on the 2020 rather than 2010 Census. Costs of Securing Broadband LicensesAs discussed above, to obtain a broadband license in a county, the broadband applicant must satisfy (i) the 50% Licensed Spectrum Test, (ii) the 90% Broadband Segment or the 5 x 5 Broadband Segment Test and (iii) the 240 or 399 Channel Requirement.Page 13Table of ContentsCosts of Securing Broadband LicensesAs discussed above, to obtain a broadband license in a county, the broadband applicant must satisfy (i) the 50% Licensed Spectrum Test, (ii) the 90% Broadband Segment Test and (iii) the 240 Channel Requirement. As the broadband applicant, we can satisfy these channel requirements by including our existing licensed channels in the 900 MHz band and by acquiring or clearing additional channels, when necessary, through (i) spectrum purchases, (ii) spectrum retuning and/or (iii) by making Anti-Windfall Payments. Under the Report and Order, we have the option of using each of these options alone, or in any combination required, to satisfy the broadband license eligibility requirements for a particular county.1.Spectrum Purchase. We have and will continue to employ spectrum acquisition as a tool for those situations where an incumbent desires to exit the 900 MHz band. We also acquire channels outside the 900 MHz Broadband Segment and may use them to swap for channels within the broadband segment or to reduce the anti-windfall payments for licenses. For purposes of our broadband license eligibility, any contracted acquisitions negotiated in the 900 MHz band may be included as part of our broadband application, but the acquisition does not need to be consummated at the time we submit our broadband license application for the purposes of calculating the 90% threshold. For purposes of our broadband license eligibility, any contracted acquisitions negotiated in the 900 MHz Page 14Table of Contentsband may be included as part of our broadband application, but the acquisition does not need to be consummated at the time we submit our broadband license application for the purposes of calculating the 90% threshold. 2.Spectrum Retuning. Retuning is the exercise of modifying Covered Incumbents’ licenses to remove the 900 MHz channels held by incumbents and swapping narrowband segments channels to facilitate a move to channels outside of the 900 MHz Broadband Segment. Retuning is the exercise of modifying incumbents’ licenses to remove the broadband segment channels held by incumbents and swapping narrowband segments channels to facilitate a move to channels outside of the 900 MHz Broadband Segment established by the Report and Order. An agreement to retune adds to the number of channels we hold for computational purposes of the 90% Broadband Segment Test. We will continue to retune channels with incumbents as needed. We have continued retuning channels with incumbents since that time. For purposes of broadband license eligibility, any potential spectrum retuning agreements we negotiate in the 900 MHz band will be included as part of our broadband application, but the retune is not required to be completed before we submit our broadband license application.3.Anti-Windfall Payment. To obtain a broadband license, we must surrender 240 or 399 licensed channels in the county depending on whether the application is for a 3 x 3 or a 5 x 5 MHz broadband license. As this band has been Page 15Table of Contentsunderutilized historically, most counties in the United States do not have required outstanding licensed channels that can be surrendered. As this band has been underutilized historically, most counties in the United States do not have 240 outstanding licensed channels that can be surrendered. To make up for the difference, we effectively pay for channels from the FCC’s spectrum inventory by making an Anti-Windfall Payment. As noted above, the FCC will use a reference per channel price based on the average price paid in the FCC’s 600 MHz auction in each given county. The county population will be based on the 2020 census upon publication of the 2026 Report and Order in the Federal Register.Our Intellectual PropertyWe rely on a combination of patent, copyright, trademark and trade-secret laws, as well as confidentiality provisions in our contracts, to protect our intellectual property. We have several trademarks and service marks to protect our current and future corporate name, services offerings, goodwill and brand. There are currently no claims or litigation regarding these trademarks, patents, copyrights, or service marks. We also rely on trade secret protection of our intellectual property. We enter into confidentiality agreements with third parties, employees and consultants when appropriate.Regulation of Our BusinessWe hold FCC spectrum licenses in the 900 MHz band throughout the contiguous United States, plus Hawaii, Alaska and Puerto Rico. The FCC regulates our wireless spectrum holdings, the issuance of broadband licenses in the 900 MHz band, our future leasing or sale of any broadband licenses we secure, and the future construction and operation of wireless networks, technologies and solutions utilizing our spectrum assets. The FCC regulates our wireless spectrum holdings, the issuance of broadband licenses in the 900 MHz band in accordance with the Report and Order, our future leasing or sale of any broadband licenses we secure, and the future construction and operation of wireless networks, technologies and solutions utilizing our spectrum assets. LicensingWe are authorized to provide our wireless communication services on specified frequencies within specified geographic areas and in doing so must comply with the rules, regulations and policies adopted by the FCC. The FCC issues each spectrum license for a fixed period, typically ten years in the case of the FCC narrowband licenses we currently hold and 15 years for any broadband licenses. The FCC issues each spectrum license for a fixed period, typically ten years in the case of the FCC narrowband licenses we currently hold and 15 years for any broadband licenses in accordance with the Report and Order. Any broadband licenses we secure will also have performance requirements at the 6- and 12-year marks to demonstrate that the broadband spectrum is being used to serve the public interest. While the FCC has generally renewed licenses held by operating companies like us, the FCC has the authority to both revoke a license for cause and to deny a license renewal if it determines that license renewal is not in the public interest. Furthermore, we could be subject to fines, forfeitures and other penalties for failure to comply with FCC regulations, even if any such non-compliance is unintentional. The loss of any licenses, or any related fines or forfeitures, could adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition.The Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and FCC rules and regulations require us to obtain the FCC’s prior approval before assigning or transferring control of wireless licenses, with limited exceptions. The FCC’s rules and regulations also govern spectrum lease arrangements for a range of wireless radio service licenses, including the licenses we hold. These same requirements apply to any licenses or leases we may wish to enter into, transfer, or acquire as part of our broadband initiatives. The FCC may prohibit or impose conditions on any proposed acquisitions, sales, or other transfers of control of licenses or leases. The FCC engages in a case-by-case review of transactions that involve the consolidation or sale of spectrum licenses or leases and may apply a spectrum “screen” in examining such transactions. Because an FCC license is necessary to lawfully provide the wireless services we plan to enable, if the FCC were to disapprove of any such request to acquire, assign, or otherwise transfer a license or lease, our business plans would be adversely affected. Approval from the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Justice, as well as state or local regulatory authorities, also may be required if we sell or acquire spectrum.FCC RegulationsThe FCC does not currently regulate rates for services offered by wireless providers. However, we may be subject to other FCC regulations that impose obligations on wireless providers, such as Federal Universal Service Fund obligations, which require communications providers to contribute to a fund that supports subsidized communications services to underserved areas and users; rules governing billing, subscriber privacy and customer proprietary network information; roaming obligations; rules that require wireless service providers to configure their networks to facilitate electronic surveillance by law enforcement officials; rules governing spam, telemarketing and truth-in-billing and rules requiring us to offer equipment and services that are accessible to and usable by persons with disabilities, among others.

There are also pending proceedings that may affect spectrum aggregation limits and/or adjustment of the FCC’s case-by-case spectrum screens; regulation surrounding the deployment of advanced wireless broadband infrastructure; the imposition of text-to-911 capabilities; and the transition to IP networks, among others. Some of these requirements and pending proceedings (of which the previous examples are not an exhaustive list) pose technical and operational challenges for which we, and the industry as a whole, have not yet developed clear solutions. We are unable to predict how these pending or future FCC proceedings may affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations. Our failure to comply with any applicable FCC regulations could subject us to significant fines or forfeitures.Page 16Table of ContentsState and Local RegulationIn addition to FCC regulations, we are subject to certain state regulatory requirements. The Communications Act of 1934, as amended, preempts state and local regulation of the entry of, or the rates charged by, any wireless provider. State and local governments, however, are permitted to manage public rights of way and can require fair and reasonable compensation from wireless providers for use of those rights of way so long as the compensation required is publicly disclosed by the government. The siting of base stations also remains subject to some degree of control by state and local jurisdiction.Tower SitingOur current and future customers who deploy broadband networks will be required to comply with various federal, state and local regulations that govern the siting, lighting and construction of transmitter towers and antennas, including requirements imposed by the FCC and the Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”). Federal rules subject certain tower site locations to extensive zoning, environmental and historic preservation requirements and mandate consultation with various parties, including State and Tribal Historic Preservation Offices, which can make it more difficult and expensive to deploy facilities. The FCC antenna structure registration process also imposes public notice requirements when plans are made for construction of, or modification to, antenna structures that require FAA approval, potentially adding to the delays and burdens associated with tower siting, including potential challenges from special interest groups. To the extent governmental agencies continue to impose additional requirements like this on the tower siting process, the time and cost to construct towers could be negatively impacted. The FCC has, however, imposed a tower siting “shot clock” that requires local authorities to address tower applications within a specific timeframe, which can assist carriers in more rapid deployment of towers. More recently, the FCC also has adopted rules intended to accelerate broadband deployment by removing barriers to infrastructure investment, in particular for “small cell” equipment. Those rules have been challenged by certain municipalities and tribal nations both at the FCC and in court.National SecurityWith a range of weather-related and cyber security impacts on the nation’s grid over the last several years, national security and disaster recovery issues continue to receive attention at the federal, state and local levels. For example, Congress is currently considering a number of bills related to grid security. While the timing and likelihood of enactment of specific legislation remains uncertain, cybersecurity and infrastructure resiliency are expected to remain ongoing legislative priorities. Our current and future customers who deploy broadband networks may be required to comply with potential federal, state and local regulations that govern elements of the electric grid.Report and OrderThe FCC regulates the issuance of broadband licenses in the 900 MHz band in accordance with the Report and Order.Human Capital ManagementOur PeopleThe success of our business depends on our ability to attract, grow, and retain talented individuals who reflect and understand the perspectives of our customers and stakeholders.

Risk Factors.You should carefully consider the following risk factors, together with the other information contained in this Annual Report and our other reports and filings made with the SEC, in evaluating our business and prospects. If any of the risks discussed in this Annual Report occur, our business, prospects, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected, in which case the trading price of our common stock could decline significantly. Some statements in this Annual Report, including statements in the following risk factors, constitute forward-looking statements. Please refer to the section entitled “Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements.”Risks Related to Our BusinessWe may not be successful in commercializing our spectrum assets to our targeted utility and critical infrastructure customers in accordance with our business plans and expectations.We have identified utilities and other critical infrastructure enterprises as our primary target customers.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, Oncor, CPS, TNMP, NWE, and Public Utility District Page 18Table of ContentsNo. 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. 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. 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.In addition, under our current business plan, we generally intend to enter into long-term leasing or sales agreements for our spectrum assets in one county with one customer, or a limited number of customers, in each geographic area.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 sales agreements for a geographic area, we expect payments by our customer in such area will continue to 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. 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 sales agreements, currently we do not generate revenue from the operation of the broadband networks or technologies deployed by our 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 selling our licensed 900 MHz spectrum. 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. 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, wars and other 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. 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.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, 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 Page 18Table of Contentsbroadband 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.Page 19Table of ContentsWe 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 our commercial agreements will not be subject to contract claims, including rights of termination.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. We are subject to contingencies and obligations under our commercial agreements with our customers, including the delivery of cleared spectrum and broadband licenses in the designated service territories on a timely basis. There is no assurance that we will be able to clear incumbents from our customers’ respective service territories and obtain broadband licenses from the FCC on the timeline required under our agreements, or at all. Customers’ respective payment obligations, including our ability to maintain any upfront payments and any future payment obligations under these agreements, are contingent on our ability to deliver cleared spectrum and Broadband Spectrum licenses on the timelines required in these agreements. As a result, there is no assurance that we will be able to retain any upfront payments or receive future payments in the amounts and on the timeline we currently expect, or at all. Additionally, our customers may not elect to exercise their options for additional terms contemplated by the terms of the long-term lease agreements. Further, our costs to clear incumbents, qualify for broadband licenses and perform our other obligations under our agreements with our customers may be significantly more than we currently anticipate, which could increase our capital expenses and reduce our net income or increase our net loss.We may not be successful in developing, marketing, selling and delivering new products and services offerings to our targeted utility and critical infrastructure customers.We may not be successful in developing, marketing, selling and delivering new products and services to our targeted utility and critical infrastructure customers. 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.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. 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 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 offerings related to our spectrum to our customers. 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.We operate in a competitive environment, including with other spectrum holders that may offer broadband spectrum to our target customers. Additionally, many of the third parties who offer spectrum and communication technologies, products, services and solutions to our targeted customers have existing long-term relationships with these targeted customers and have significantly more resources and greater political and regulatory influence than we do, and we may not be able to successfully compete with these third parties.Our competitors include spectrum holders, retail wireless network providers, such as Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile, 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.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.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. Given these significant capital requirements, there is no assurance that we will be able to generate enough revenues through the commercialization of 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. 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.Page 20Table of ContentsIn addition, the FCC and other federal, state and local governmental authorities, or other third parties, could adopt new regulations or take actions, including making additional spectrum available that can be utilized by our targeted customers, which could harm our ability to license our spectrum assets.Page 9Table of ContentsFurther, the FCC and other federal, state and local governmental authorities could adopt new regulations or take actions, including making additional spectrum available that can be utilized by our targeted customers, which could harm our ability to license our spectrum assets. For example, the federal government created and funded the FRNA, which the federal government authorized to help accomplish, fund, and oversee the deployment of a dedicated NPSBN. The NPSBN, which is marketed as “FirstNet”, may provide an additional source of competition to utilizing our 900 MHz spectrum assets by our targeted utility and critical infrastructure enterprises. Some of our competitors, such as Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile, have significantly greater pricing flexibility and have taken steps to compete or may decide to compete against us more aggressively. 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.If we are unable to attract new customers, our results of operations and our business will be adversely affected. Our targeted customers are large, heavily-regulated enterprises and our business plan requires these customers to commit to enter into long-term lease transactions or to purchase our spectrum and then to purchase and deploy broadband network equipment, solutions and services utilizing our 900 MHz Broadband Spectrum. There are typically a number of constituencies within each of our targeted customers that need to review and approve the commercial agreements of our spectrum before signing a contract with us. As a result, we have experienced, and we expect to continue to experience, long sales cycles with our targeted customers. In addition, numerous other factors, many of which are out of our control, may now or in the future impact our ability to acquire new customers, including not gaining support from governmental bodies that regulate our customers, the ability of our customers to pass their broadband spectrum use and deployment costs to their ratepayers, our customers’ existing commitments to other providers or communication solutions, real or perceived costs of securing our spectrum assets and deploying broadband networks, solutions and services, our failure to expand, retain and motivate our sales and marketing personnel, our failure to develop or expand relationships with the manufacturers or suppliers of broadband technologies, solutions and services that can be utilized on our spectrum, negative media, industry or financial analyst commentary regarding us or our solutions, litigation, the spectrum and service offerings of our competitors, the adverse impacts geopolitical uncertainties, inflation, trade restrictions and tariffs and other adverse economic conditions and events. Any of these factors could impact our ability to attract new customers to lease or obtain rights to our spectrum assets. As a result of these and other factors, we may be unable to timely attract enough customers to support our costs and to generate profits, which would harm our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.Our reputation and business may be harmed, and we may be subject to legal claims if there is loss, disclosure, or misappropriation of, or access to, our customers’ information.Page 20Table of ContentsOur reputation and business may be harmed, and we may be subject to legal claims if there is loss, disclosure, or misappropriation of, or access to, our customers’ information. We make use of online services and centralized data processing, including through third-party service providers. The secure maintenance and transmission of customer information is an important element of our operations. Our information technology and other systems, and those of our service providers or contract partners, that maintain and transmit customer information, including location or personal information, may be compromised by a malicious third-party penetration of our network security, or that of our third-party service providers or contract partners, or impacted by unauthorized intentional or inadvertent actions or inactions by our employees, or by the employees of our third-party service providers or contract partners. Cyber-attacks, which include the use of malware, computer viruses and other means of disruption or unauthorized access, have increased in frequency, scope and potential harm in recent years. While, to date, we have not been subject to cyber-attacks or other cyber incidents which, individually or in the aggregate, have been material to our operations or financial condition, the preventive actions we and our third-party service providers and contract partners take to reduce the risk of cyber incidents and protect information technology resources and networks may be insufficient to repel a major cyber-attack in the future. As a result, our customers’ information may be lost, disclosed, accessed, used, corrupted, destroyed or taken without the customers’ consent. Any significant compromise of our data or network security, failure to prevent or mitigate the loss of customer information and delays in detecting any such compromise or loss could disrupt our operations, impact our reputation and subject us to additional costs and liabilities, including litigation, which could produce material and adverse effects on our business and results of operations.Page 21Table of ContentsMacroeconomic 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.Macroeconomic and unfavorable market conditions, regulatory and policy changes, and ongoing 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. Recent wars and geopolitical disputes 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.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. 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.Risks Related to Our Financial ConditionWe may not be able to correctly estimate our operating expenses, future cash proceeds or future revenues, which could lead to cash shortfalls, and may prevent us from returning capital to our stockholders and require us to secure additional financing.We have expended and will need to continue to expend substantial resources for the foreseeable future, to commercialize our spectrum assets to our targeted utility and critical infrastructure customers. We also will need to expend substantial resources for the foreseeable future to qualify for and obtain broadband licenses, including the costs related to retuning incumbent systems, purchasing additional spectrum from incumbents and/or making Anti-Windfall Payments to the U.S. Treasury to commercialize our spectrum assets. We believe our cash and cash equivalents on hand, along with contracted proceeds from customers will be sufficient to meet our financial obligations through at least 12 months from the date of this filing.Our budgeted expense levels are based in part on our expectations and assumptions regarding the timing and costs to qualify for and obtain broadband licenses, the demand by our target customers to utilize our spectrum assets to deploy broadband networks, technologies and solutions and the time required to enter into binding contracts with our target customers.Page 21Table of ContentsOur budgeted expense levels are based in part on our expectations and assumptions regarding the timing and costs to qualify for and obtain broadband licenses, the demand by our target customers to utilize our spectrum assets to deploy broadband networks, technologies and solutions and the time required to enter into binding contracts with our target customers. However, we may not correctly predict the amount or timing of our future contract proceeds, revenues and our operating expenses, which may fluctuate significantly in the future as a result of a variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control, and may be materially different than our announced plans and expectations. These factors include:•the cost and time required to obtain broadband licenses, including the costs to clear the 900 MHz band and to acquire additional spectrum from incumbents and/or to make Anti-Windfall Payments;•our ability to qualify for and utilize the Mandatory Retuning process established by the 2020 Report and Order;•our ability to obtain 5 x 5 MHz broadband licenses in accordance with the 2026 Report and Order;•our ability to negotiate agreements with the operators of Complex Systems;•the cost and time to promote, market and commercialize our spectrum assets, including the long sales cycle required to enter commercial arrangements with our targeted utility and critical infrastructure customers;•the commercial terms, including the timing of payments, in our future commercial arrangements with our targeted customers; •the costs associated with increasing the size of our organization, including the costs to attract and retain personnel with the skills required to support our business plans; •adverse economic and market conditions, including as a result of inflation and trade restrictions and tariffs, that delay or otherwise hinder our commercialization efforts; and•the funds we return to stockholders through our share repurchase program. These factors include:•the cost and time required to obtain broadband licenses, including the costs to clear the 900 MHz band and to acquire additional spectrum from incumbents and/or to make Anti-Windfall Payments;•our ability to qualify for and utilize the Mandatory Retuning process established by the Report and Order;•our ability to negotiate agreements with the operators of Complex Systems;•the cost and time to promote, market and commercialize our spectrum assets, including the long sales cycle required to enter commercial arrangements with our targeted utility and critical infrastructure customers;•the commercial terms, including the timing of payments, in our future commercial arrangements with our targeted customers; •the costs associated with increasing the size of our organization, including the costs to attract and retain personnel with the skills required to support our business plans; •adverse economic and market conditions, including as a result of inflation and trade restrictions and tariffs, that delay or otherwise hinder our commercialization efforts; and•the funds we return to stockholders through our share repurchase program. Our efforts to control and reduce our operating costs may not be successful. In addition, costs may arise that we currently do not anticipate and unanticipated events may occur that reduce the amounts and delay the timing of our future revenues. We may not be able to adjust our operations in a timely manner to compensate for any shortfall in our revenues, delays in obtaining broadband licenses, delays in entering commercial agreements for our spectrum or increases in the expenses required to secure broadband licenses and implement our commercialization and business plans.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 Page 22Table of Contentsfinancing 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. 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.We have a unique business model, and our business activities, strategic approaches and plans may not be successful.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 2020 Report and Order, we have signed commercial agreements with eleven of our target utility customers for the long-term lease or the sale of our spectrum assets. 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.As a business with a unique business model, our future success will depend, in large part, on our ability to, among other things:•comply with the requirements and restrictions the FCC has established in the Report and Order to qualify for and obtain broadband licenses in key geographic areas on a timely and cost-effective basis;•successfully commercialize our spectrum assets to our targeted utility and critical infrastructure customers on favorable terms and on a timely basis;•comply with our obligations under our existing and any future agreements with our customers on a timely basis and on commercially reasonable terms;•compete against the purchaser of T-Mobile’s 800 MHz spectrum and other wireless companies, such as Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile, and telecommunication manufacturers and vendors, many of whom have significantly greater resources and pricing flexibility, long-term relationships with our targeted customers and greater political and regulatory influence;•successfully convince chipmakers and other technology, product and solution manufacturers and vendors to continue to offer or 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; and•successfully manage our internal business, regulatory, technical and commercial operations in an efficient and cost-effective manner.Page 22Table of ContentsAs a business with a unique business model, our future success will depend, in large part, on our ability to, among other things:•comply with the requirements and restrictions the FCC has established in the Report and Order to qualify for and obtain broadband licenses in key geographic areas on a timely and cost-effective basis;•successfully commercialize our spectrum assets to our targeted utility and critical infrastructure customers on favorable terms and on a timely basis;•comply with our obligations under our existing and any future agreements with our customers on a timely basis and on commercially reasonable terms;•compete against the purchaser of T-Mobile’s 800 MHz spectrum and other wireless companies, such as Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, and EchoStar and telecommunication manufacturers and vendors, many of whom have significantly greater resources and pricing flexibility, long-term relationships with our targeted customers and greater political and regulatory influence;•successfully convince chipmakers and other technology, product and solution manufacturers and vendors 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; and•successfully manage our internal business, regulatory, technical and commercial operations in an efficient and cost-effective manner. Any failure to achieve one or more of these objectives could adversely affect our business, our results of operations and our financial condition.We have had net losses most years since our inception and may not achieve or maintain profitability in the future.We have had net losses each year since our inception and may not 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.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.Page 23Table of ContentsOur net operating losses (“NOLs”) are subject to certain restrictions and limitations, which may reduce our ability to use such NOLs in offsetting our future taxable income.Our net operating losses (“NOLs”) are subject to certain restrictions and limitations, which may reduce our ability to use such NOLs in offsetting our future taxable income. As of March 31, 2026, we had approximately $194.2 million in federal NOL carryforwards that can be carried forward indefinitely but are limited to 80% of future taxable income when used. 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.The value of our spectrum assets may fluctuate significantly based on supply and demand, as well as technical and regulatory changes.The FCC spectrum licenses we hold are our most valuable asset. The value of our spectrum, however, may fluctuate based on various factors, including, among others:•the cost and time required to comply with the FCC’s requirements to obtain broadband licenses in the 900 MHz band, including purchasing additional spectrum and retuning and relocating incumbents;•our ability to enter long-term leases or sales agreements with our targeted utility and critical infrastructure customers on a timely basis and on commercially reasonable terms;•potential uses of our spectrum based on the Report and Order and available technology;•the market availability of, and demand for, broadband spectrum;•the supply of broadband spectrum made available to our targeted customers by existing wireless carriers, including broadband spectrum offered to our customers by the buyer of T-Mobile’s 800 MHz spectrum;•the demand for private broadband networks, technologies and solutions by our targeted utility and critical infrastructure customers; and•regulatory changes by the FCC to make additional spectrum available or to promote more flexible uses of existing spectrum in other bands. The value of our spectrum, however, may fluctuate based on various factors, including, among others:•the cost and time required to comply with the FCC’s requirements to obtain broadband licenses in the 900 MHz band, including purchasing additional spectrum and retuning and relocating incumbents;•our ability to enter long-term leases or transfer arrangements with our targeted utility and critical infrastructure customers on a timely basis and on commercially reasonable terms;•potential uses of our spectrum based on the Report and Order and available technology;•the market availability of, and demand for, broadband spectrum;•the supply of broadband spectrum made available to our targeted customers by existing wireless carriers, including broadband spectrum offered to our customers by the buyer of T-Mobile’s 800 MHz spectrum;•the demand for private broadband networks, technologies and solutions by our targeted utility and critical infrastructure customers; andPage 23Table of Contents•regulatory changes by the FCC to make additional spectrum available or to promote more flexible uses of existing spectrum in other bands. Similarly, the price of any additional spectrum we desire to purchase to enable us to qualify for broadband licenses or our future business plans will also fluctuate based on similar factors. Any decline in the value of our spectrum or increases in the cost of the spectrum we acquire could have an adverse effect on our market value and our business and operating results.Risks Related to the Use of Our SpectrumOur plans to commercialize our 900 MHz spectrum assets depend on our ability to continue to qualify for and obtain broadband licenses from the FCC requirements. If we are unable to continue to obtain broadband licenses on a timely basis, our business, liquidity, results of operations and prospects will be materially adversely affected.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. 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 Page 24Table of Contentscurrently anticipate. 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, which apply only to channels in the 3 x 3 MHz broadband segment and not to channels in the two narrowband segments. 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), and require us to seek additional sources of capital and liquidity in order to carry out our business and plans, which could cause significant dilution to our existing stockholders. See the risk factor entitled “We may not be able to correctly estimate our operating expenses or future revenues, which could lead to cash shortfalls, and may prevent us from returning capital to our stockholders and require us to secure additional financing.”The voluntary exchange process established by the FCC in the Report and Order may not allow us to clear or relocate incumbents in certain counties in a timely manner and on commercially reasonable terms, or at all.The Report and Order established a market-driven, voluntary exchange process for clearing the channels in the 3 x 3 MHz broadband segment.The Report and Order establishes a market-driven, voluntary exchange process for clearing the channels in the 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. For example, a Covered Incumbent may demand Page 24Table of Contentscompensation 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. 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 may be required to pay any costs associated with providing Covered Incumbents with comparable facilities and paying relocation costs. 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. In addition, the FCC has exempted channels from the Mandatory Retuning process that are being utilized by incumbents operating Complex Systems. The FCC exempted Complex Systems from the Mandatory Retuning requirements because retuning these systems could be complex and disruptive to the incumbent operators. Complex Systems are located in some of the largest business and population centers in the United States. Most are operated by electric utilities, including some utilities that actively opposed our 900 MHz Broadband Spectrum initiatives that resulted in the Report and Order. This exemption may prevent us from obtaining broadband licenses in counties where these Complex Systems are located (or if a Complex System is being operated within 70 miles of a county boundary for which we are attempting to obtain a broadband license) without the incumbent’s consent, which could be withheld for any reason, or for no reason. As a result, the incumbents operating Complex Systems can make demands that are not commercially reasonable (including the commercial terms to obtain the use of our spectrum), delay their decision or refuse to negotiate with us altogether. Our inability to obtain broadband licenses in counties where Complex Systems are currently being operated (or are being operated within 70 miles of a county boundary for which we are attempting to obtain a broadband license) could have a material adverse effect on our operations and business plan, our future prospects and opportunities and on our ability to develop a profitable business.The members of the AAR may delay our ability to commercialize broadband licenses.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 customers’ initiatives with the federal and state agencies and commissions that regulate electric utilities may not be successful, which may impact our commercialization efforts. Our customers’ initiatives with the federal and state agencies and commissions that regulate electric utilities may not be successful, which may impact our commercialization efforts. 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, Page 25Table of Contentsincluding at a customary rate of return for the utility company. 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. We may not be able to maintain any broadband licenses that we own and/or obtain from the FCC.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”). The Report and Order establishes “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. 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 Page 25Table of Contentstwelve-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.We may not be able to maintain any narrowband licenses that we own and/or obtain from the FCC or other licensees.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 or intend to secure in the future. Our narrowband licenses are necessary for us to meet the eligibility requirements of becoming a broadband licensee and hence to obtain a broadband license. Narrowband licenses that have met their construction requirements must be renewed prior to their expiration date. These renewals are subject to continued certification that they are constructed and operational. Although we have contractual rights with site owners and operators, a failure to maintain these operations could occur outside of our control. A failure to satisfy these requirements could result in the FCC’s termination of a narrowband license or refusal to renew a previously issued narrowband license.Government regulations or actions taken by governmental bodies could adversely affect our business prospects, liquidity and results of operations, including any changes by the FCC to the Report and Order or to the FCC rules and regulations governing the 900 MHz band.The leasing and sale of spectrum licenses, as well as the deployment and operation of wireless networks and technologies, are regulated by the FCC and, depending on the jurisdiction, by state and local regulatory agencies. In particular, the FCC imposes significant regulation on licensees of wireless spectrum with respect to how FCC licenses may be transferred or sold. The FCC also regulates how the spectrum is used by licensees, the nature of the services that licensees may offer and how the services may be offered, including resolution of issues of interference. Failure to comply with FCC requirements applicable to a given license could result in revocation or non-renewal of the license, depending on the nature and severity of the non-compliance. If we, or any of the future licensees of our spectrum assets, fail to comply with applicable FCC regulations, we may be subject to sanctions or lose our FCC licenses, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity, results of operations and prospects.In addition, the FCC and other federal, state and local governmental authorities could adopt new regulations or take actions, including imposing taxes or fees on our business that could have a materially adverse effect on our business, liquidity, results of operations and prospects. Further, the FCC or Congress may make additional spectrum available for communications services, which may result in the introduction of additional competitive entrants to the already crowded wireless communications marketplace in which we compete. For example, the federal government created and funded the FRNA which the federal government authorized to help accomplish, fund and oversee the deployment of the dedicated NPSBN. The NPSBN, which is marketed as “FirstNet”, may provide an additional source of competition to utilizing our 900 MHz spectrum assets by our targeted critical infrastructure and enterprise customers.Page 26Table of ContentsFederal 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.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.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 accordance with the requirements of the Report and Order. 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. 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.Risks Related to Our Financial ConditionWe may not be able to correctly estimate our operating expenses, future cash proceeds or future revenues, which could lead to cash shortfalls, and may prevent us from returning capital to our stockholders and require us to secure additional financing. 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.Risks Related to Our Organization and StructureWe may change our operations and business strategies without stockholder consent.Our executive management team, with oversight from our Board, establishes our operational plans, our commercialization plans and our business strategies. Our Board and executive management team may make changes to or approve transactions that deviate from our current operations and strategies without a vote of, or prior notice to, our stockholders. This authority to change our operations, commercialization plans and business strategies could result in us conducting operational matters, making investments, pursuing spectrum opportunities, or implementing business or growth strategies in a manner different than those that we are currently pursuing. Under any of these circumstances, we may expose ourselves to different and more significant risks, decrease our revenues or increase our expenses and financial requirements, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations.Our future success depends on our ability to retain our executive officers and key personnel and to attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel.Our success depends to a significant degree upon the contributions of our executive officers and key personnel, who have unique experience and expertise in the telecommunications industry, large scale and multi-year solution selling to utilities, wireless broadband networks, FCC rulemaking and spectrum retuning and clearing to obtain FCC licenses. Although we have adopted a severance plan for our executive officers, we do not otherwise have long-term employment agreements with any of our executive officers or key personnel. There is no guarantee that these individuals will remain employed with us. In addition, we have not obtained and do not expect to obtain key man life insurance that would provide us with proceeds in the event of the death or disability of any of our executive officers or key personnel. In addition, we have not obtained and do not expect to obtain key man life insurance that would provide us with proceeds in the event of the Page 26Table of Contentsdeath or disability of any of our executive officers or key personnel. If any of our executive officers or key personnel were to cease employment with us, our operating results and the implementation of our commercial and business terms could suffer. Further, the process of attracting and retaining suitable replacements for our executive officers and key personnel would result in transition costs and could divert the attention of other members of our senior management team from our existing operations. As a result, the loss of services from our executive officers or key personnel or a limitation in their availability could materially and adversely impact our business, customer prospects and results of operations. Further, such a loss could be negatively perceived in the capital markets.Recruiting and retaining qualified personnel, including effective sales personnel, are critical to our success. Competition to hire qualified personnel in our industry is intense, and we may be unable to hire, train, retain or motivate these key personnel on acceptable terms given the competition among numerous telecommunications, service and infrastructure companies for similar personnel.If we fail to implement and maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to accurately determine our financial results or prevent fraud. As a result, our stockholders could lose confidence in our financial results, which would materially and adversely affect our value and our ability to raise any required capital in the future.Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and effectively prevent fraud. We cannot be certain that we will be successful in implementing or maintaining effective internal controls for all financial periods. We have discovered in the past and may discover in the future areas of our internal controls that need improvement or additional documentation. As we look to grow our business, our internal controls will become more complex, and we will require significantly more resources to ensure our internal controls remain effective. The existence of any material weakness or significant deficiency in the future may require management to devote significant time and incur significant expense to remediate any such material weaknesses or significant deficiencies and management may not be able to remediate any such Page 27Table of Contentsmaterial weaknesses or significant deficiencies in a timely manner. The existence of any material weakness or significant deficiency in the future may require management to devote significant time and incur significant expense to remediate any such material weaknesses or significant deficiencies and management may not be able to remediate any such material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in a timely manner. In addition, the existence of any material weakness in our internal controls could also result in errors in our financial statements that could require us to restate our financial statements, cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations and cause stockholders to lose confidence in our reported financial information, all of which could materially and adversely affect our value and our ability to raise any required capital in the future.Risks Related to Our Common StockThere is no assurance that a robust market in our common stock will develop or be sustained.Since our common stock began trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market in 2015, a limited number of stockholders have owned a significant percentage of our common stock, which has resulted in a limited daily trading volume for our common stock. We cannot assure you that a more active or liquid trading market for our common stock will develop, or will be sustained if it does develop, either of which could materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock, our ability to raise capital in the future and the ability of stockholders to sell their shares at the volume, prices and times desired. In addition, the risks and uncertainties related to our ability to timely commercialize our spectrum assets makes it difficult to evaluate our business, our prospects and the valuation of our Company, which limits the liquidity and volume of our common stock and may have a material adverse effect on the market price of our common stock.Our common stock prices may be volatile, which could cause the value of our common stock to decline.The market price of our common stock may be highly volatile and subject to wide fluctuations. Some of the factors that could negatively affect or result in fluctuations in the market price of our common stock include:•the timing and costs of securing broadband licenses;•our ability to enter into contracts with our targeted utility and critical infrastructure customers, on a timely basis and on commercially favorable terms;•the terms of our customer contracts, including pre-payments and our contractual obligations;•our ability to comply with our obligations, on a timely and cost-effective basis, under our existing customer contracts;•market reaction to any changes in our business plans or strategies;•announcements, offerings or actions by our competitors, including the recent purchaser of T-Mobile’s 800 MHz spectrum;•governmental regulations or actions taken by governmental bodies;•additions or departures of any of our executive officers or key personnel;•actions by our stockholders;•speculation in the press or investment community;•general market, economic and political conditions, including an economic slowdown, inflation, trade restrictions and tariffs, and supply chain issues;•our operating performance and the performance of other similar companies;•changes in accounting principles, judgments or assumptions; and•passage of legislation or other regulatory developments that adversely affect us or our industry.Concentration of ownership will limit your ability to influence corporate matters.Based on our review of publicly available filings as of June 19, 2026, funds affiliated with Owl Creek Asset Management, L.P. (“Owl Creek”) beneficially owned approximately 27.8%, funds affiliated with Heard Capital LLC owned approximately 8.8%. These two investment firms collectively beneficially own approximately 36. These four investment firms collectively beneficially own approximately 49. 6% of our outstanding shares of common stock. In addition, one of our directors is the Chief Portfolio Manager of Owl Creek. Although we are not aware of any voting arrangements between these stockholders, our significant stockholders can significantly influence: (i) the outcome of any corporate actions submitted by our Board for approval by our stockholders and (ii) any proposals or director nominees submitted by a stockholder. Further, they could place significant pressure on our Board to pursue corporate actions, director candidates and business opportunities they identify. For example, our significant stockholders could significantly influence a proposed sale of the company or its assets. As a result of this concentration of ownership, our other stockholders may have a reduced voice in our corporate actions or the operations of our business, which may adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Future sales of our common stock, or preferred stock, or of other securities convertible into our common stock or preferred stock, could cause the market value of our common stock to decline and could result in dilution of your shares.Our Board is authorized, without stockholder approval, to permit us to issue additional shares of common stock or to raise capital through the creation and issuance of preferred stock, other debt securities convertible into common stock or preferred stock, options, warrants and other rights, on terms and for consideration as our Board in its sole discretion may determine. Page 28Table of ContentsSales of substantial amounts of our common stock, including sales by our officers, directors or 5% and greater stockholders, or of preferred stock could cause the market price of our common stock to decrease significantly. Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock, including sales by our officers, directors or 5% and greater stockholders, or of preferred stock could cause the market price of our common stock to decrease significantly. We cannot predict the effect, if any, of future sales of our common stock, or the availability of our common stock for future sales, on the value of our common stock. Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock by any one or more of our large stockholders, or the perception that such sales could occur, may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.We cannot guarantee that our share repurchase program will be utilized to the full value approved or that it will enhance long-term stockholder value. Repurchases we consummate could increase the volatility of the price of our common stock and could have a negative impact on our available cash balance. Our Board authorized a share repurchase program (the “2023 Share Repurchase Program”) pursuant to which we may repurchase up to $250. Our Board authorized a new share repurchase program (the “2023 Share Repurchase Program”) pursuant to which we may repurchase up to $250. 0 million of our common stock on or before September 21, 2026. The manner, timing and amount of any share repurchases may fluctuate and will be determined by us based on a variety of factors, including the market price of our common stock, our priorities for the use of cash to support our business operations and plans, general business and market conditions, tax laws, and alternative investment opportunities. The share repurchase program authorization does not obligate us to acquire any specific number or dollar value of shares. Further, our share repurchases could have an impact on our share trading prices, increase the volatility of the price of our common stock, or reduce our available cash balance such that we will be required to seek financing to support our operations. Our share repurchase program may be modified, suspended or terminated at any time, which may result in a decrease in the trading prices of our common stock. Even if our share repurchase program is fully implemented, it may not enhance long-term stockholder value. Additionally, repurchases are subject to the 1% Share Repurchase Excise Tax enacted by the Inflation Reduction Act, which may be offset by shares newly issued during that fiscal year (the “Share Repurchase Excise Tax”). We have and will continue to take the Share Repurchase Excise Tax into account with respect to our decisions to repurchase shares.Future offerings of debt securities or preferred stock, which would rank senior to our common stock in the event of our bankruptcy or liquidation, may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.In the future, we may attempt to increase our capital resources by making offerings of debt securities or otherwise incurring debt. In the event of our bankruptcy or liquidation, holders of our debt securities may be entitled to receive distributions of our available assets prior to the holders of our common stock. In addition, we may offer preferred stock that provides holders with a preference on liquidating distributions or a preference on dividend payments or both or that could otherwise limit our ability to pay dividends or make liquidating distributions to the holders of our common stock. Although we have no present plans to do so, our decision to issue debt securities or to issue preferred stock in any future offerings or otherwise incur debt may depend on market conditions and other factors beyond our control. As a result, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing or nature of our future offerings, and investors in our common stock bear the risk of our future offerings reducing the market price of our common stock and/or diluting their ownership interest in us.Certain anti-takeover defenses and applicable law may limit the ability of a third party to acquire control of us.Certain provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended (the “Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation”) and amended and restated bylaws, as amended (the “Amended and Restated Bylaws”), could discourage, delay, or prevent a merger, acquisition, or other change of control that stockholders may consider favorable, including transactions in which you might otherwise receive a premium for your shares. These provisions also could limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for our common stock, thereby depressing the market price of our common stock. These provisions, among other things:•allow the authorized number of directors to be changed only by resolution of our Board;•authorize our Board to issue, without stockholder approval, preferred stock, the rights of which will be determined at the discretion of our Board and that, if issued, could operate as a “poison pill” to dilute the stock ownership of a potential hostile acquirer to prevent an acquisition that our Board does not approve;•establish advance notice requirements for stockholder nominations to our Board or for stockholder proposals that can be acted on at stockholder meetings; and•limit who may call a stockholders meeting.In addition, we are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”). In general, Section 203 of the DGCL prevents an “interested stockholder” (as defined in the DGCL) from engaging in a “business combination” (as defined in the DGCL) with us for three years following the date that person becomes an interested stockholder unless one or more of the following occurs:•before that person became an interested stockholder, our Board approved the transaction in which the interested stockholder became an interested stockholder or approved the business combination;•upon consummation of the transaction that resulted in the interested stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of our voting stock outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the voting stock outstanding (but not the outstanding voting stock owned by the Page 29Table of Contentsinterested stockholder) stock held by directors who are also officers of our Company and by employee stock plans that do not provide employees with the right to determine confidentially whether shares held under the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or•following the transaction in which that person became an interested stockholder, the business combination is approved by our Board and authorized at a meeting of stockholders by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of our outstanding voting stock not owned by the interested stockholder. In general, Section 203 of the DGCL prevents an “interested stockholder” (as defined in the DGCL) from engaging in a “business combination” (as defined in the DGCL) with us for three years following the date that person becomes an interested stockholder unless one or more of the following occurs:•before that person became an interested stockholder, our Board approved the transaction in which the interested stockholder became an interested stockholder or approved the business combination;•upon consummation of the transaction that resulted in the interested stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of our voting stock outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the voting stock outstanding (but not the outstanding voting stock owned by the interested stockholder) stock held by directors who are also officers of our Company and by employee stock plans that do not provide employees with the right to determine confidentially whether shares held under the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or•following the transaction in which that person became an interested stockholder, the business combination is approved by our Board and authorized at a meeting of stockholders by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of our outstanding voting stock not owned by the interested stockholder. The DGCL generally defines “interested stockholder” as any person who, together with affiliates and associates, is the owner of 15% or more of our outstanding voting stock or is our affiliate or associate and was the owner of 15% or more of our outstanding voting stock at any time within the three-year period immediately before the date of determination. As a result, our election to be subject to Section 203 of the DGCL could limit the ability of a third party to acquire control of us.Claims for indemnification by our directors and officers may reduce our available funds to satisfy successful third-party claims against us and may reduce the amount of money available to us.Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers, in each case to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. In addition, as permitted by Section 145 of the DGCL, our Amended and Restated Bylaws and our indemnification agreements that we have entered into with our directors and officers provide that:•we will indemnify our directors and officers for serving us in those capacities or for serving other business enterprises at our request, to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. Delaware law provides that a corporation may indemnify such person if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the registrant and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful;•we may, in our discretion, indemnify employees and agents in those circumstances where indemnification is permitted by applicable law;•we are required to advance expenses, as incurred, to our directors and officers in connection with defending a proceeding, except that such directors or officers shall undertake to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification;•we will not be obligated pursuant to our Amended and Restated Bylaws to indemnify a person with respect to proceedings initiated by that person against us or our other indemnities, except with respect to proceedings authorized by our Board or brought to enforce a right to indemnification;•the rights conferred in our Amended and Restated Bylaws are not exclusive, and we are authorized to enter into indemnification agreements with our directors, officers, employees and agents and to obtain insurance to indemnify such persons; and•we may not retroactively amend our bylaw provisions to reduce our indemnification obligations to directors, officers, employees and agents.As a result, claims for indemnification by our directors and officers may reduce our available funds to satisfy successful third-party claims against us and may reduce the amount of money available to us.ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTSNone.ITEM 1C. CYBERSECURITYRisk Management and StrategyWe have implemented and we maintain a cybersecurity program that includes a well-defined set of security controls and measures designed to identify, assess, and manage material cybersecurity risks.The cybersecurity program is a part of our broader enterprise risk management program which includes risk assessment, third party risk management, risk mitigation strategy and a clearly defined incident response methodology. The program is led by our executive officers, with support from a working group of senior management with functional and operational expertise.Primary responsibility for assessing, monitoring and managing our cybersecurity risks rests with our Director of Information Technology (“IT”), who reports directly to our Chief Financial Officer. Our Director of IT has more than 20 years of experience working with enterprises to protect their systems from cybersecurity risks and to address other areas of risk management. We also engage other consultants and third parties in connection with our risk assessment and mitigation processes. These service providers assist with the design and implementation of our cybersecurity policies and procedures, as well as monitor and test our safeguards. We require each third-party service provider to certify that it has the ability to implement and maintain appropriate security measures, consistent with all applicable laws, to implement and maintain Page 30Table of Contentsreasonable security measures in connection with their work with us, and to promptly report any suspected breach of its security measures that may affect our company. We require each third-party service provider to certify that it has the ability to implement and maintain appropriate security measures, consistent with all applicable laws, to implement and maintain reasonable security measures in connection with their work with us, and to promptly report any suspected breach of its security measures that may affect our company. GovernanceOversight for this program is provided by the Audit Committee of the Board. Each quarter our executive officers review matters, including any cybersecurity matters, that may present material risks to our strategy, mission or objectives, and where appropriate, engage third parties to conduct assessments of the risks and gaps that require attention. Risk events are classified based on the evaluated likelihood of the risk materializing and its potential impact on the enterprise, and for each material risk a definitive risk mitigation strategy is developed, executed, and shared with the Audit Committee and the Board by our Chief Legal Officer and Corporate Secretary, working closely with our Chief Financial Officer and Director of IT, at least quarterly to ensure appropriate monitoring and management of the relevant risks.Cybersecurity Threat DisclosureTo date, based upon all evaluations and assessments, including third party evaluations, we have no cybersecurity threats that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our business strategy, operations or financial condition..
