EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

AST SpaceMobile, Inc. (the “Company”) previously registered for sale, under a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-265513) (the “Previous Registration Statement”), up to $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its shares of Class A common stock, preferred stock, or debt securities (collectively, the “Securities”). By filing this Post-Effective Amendment to the Previous Registration Statement, the Company hereby removes from registration all of the Securities that remain unsold under the Previous Registration Statement as of the date hereof. The Previous Registration Statement is hereby amended, as appropriate, to reflect the removal from registration of such Securities.

 

The Company used the Previous Registration Statement solely to issue shares of its Class A common stock pursuant to that certain Equity Distribution Agreement, by and between the Company and AST & Science, LLC and Evercore Group L.L.C. and B. Riley Securities, Inc., dated as of September 8, 2022 (the “Sales Agreement”). On November 15, 2022, the Company filed a prospectus supplement that forms a part of a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-268087) (the “New Registration Statement”) to register the remaining shares of our Class A common stock that may be offered and sold pursuant to the Sales Agreement. Accordingly, de-registration of the Previous Registration Statement does not affect the Sales Agreement.
