CASE ALLEGATIONS: AST SpaceMobile, together with its subsidiaries, designs and develops the constellation of BlueBird satellites. According to the complaint, in September 2025, telecommunications company EchoStar Corporation announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement with SpaceX to sell its AWS-4 and H-block spectrum licenses (the “EchoStar Transaction”). The complaint alleges that, in connection with the EchoStar Transaction, SpaceX and EchoStar Corporation agreed to enter into a long-term commercial agreement, enabling EchoStar’s Boost Mobile subscribers to access SpaceX’s next generation direct-to-cellular (“D2C”) service provided by its telecommunications subsidiary Starlink Services, LLC.
The AST SpaceMobile class action lawsuit alleges that defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) AST SpaceMobile’s increasing capital requirements were likely to increase AST SpaceMobile’s debt load and share dilution with greater frequency and at greater scale than defendants had signaled to investors; (ii) accordingly, defendants had overstated the sufficiency of AST SpaceMobile’s capital and liquidity position to achieve its strategic and business goals; (iii) defendants likewise overstated the durability of AST SpaceMobile’s competitive position in the satellite D2C market; (iv) even following the EchoStar Transaction, defendants continued overstating AST SpaceMobile’s competitive position in the satellite D2C market; (v) AST SpaceMobile was experiencing slow user adoption in the United States and Japan; (vi) the foregoing was likely to have a significant negative impact on AST SpaceMobile’s business and financial prospects; and (vii) as a result, defendants’ public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
On September 8, 2025, UBS issued a report downgrading AST to a “Neutral” from “Buy” recommendation, as well as cutting its price target on AST SpaceMobile to $43.00 from $62.00, allegedly citing heightened competitive pressures related to the EchoStar Transaction, which “fortifies [Starlink’s] position in the space to cellular market and increases risk for AST[] as it drives utilization on its nascent constellation.” On this news, the price of AST SpaceMobile Class A common stock dropped more than 9%, according to the complaint.
On October 21, 2025, AST SpaceMobile allegedly issued a press release “announc[ing] its intent to offer . . . $850.0 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due 2036 (the ‘Notes’) in a private offering,” and that it “intends to grant the initial purchasers of the Notes . . . an option to purchase . . . up to an additional $150.0 million aggregate principal amount of Notes.” The complaint further alleges that the press release disclosed that AST SpaceMobile would use the proceeds from this offering “for general corporate purposes, including without limitation funding the deployment of AST SpaceMobile’s worldwide constellation of satellites in anticipation of adding incremental strategic markets for its SpaceMobile Service.” Later the same day, AST SpaceMobile allegedly issued another press release “announc[ing] the pricing of $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due 2036 (the ‘Notes’) in a private offering,” noting that “[t]he size of the offering has been increased from the previously announced $850.0 million principal amount of Notes,” while reiterating the same intended use for the net proceeds from the offering. On this news, the price of AST SpaceMobile Class A common stock declined more than 9% further, according to the complaint.
Then, on January 6, 2026, Scotiabank allegedly issued a report downgrading AST to a “Sell” recommendation, as well as its rating to “Sector Underperform” from “Sector Perform,” citing, among other things, significant competition from Starlink and “[e]vidence of slow user adoption in the U.S. and Japan.” On this news, the price of AST SpaceMobile Class A common stock dropped more than 12% further, according to the complaint.
The AST SpaceMobile class action lawsuit further alleges that on February 11, 2026, AST SpaceMobile issued a press release “announc[ing] its intent to offer . . . $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due 2036 (the ‘Notes’) in a private offering,” and that it “intends to grant the initial purchasers of the Notes . . . an option to purchase . . . up to an additional $150.0 million aggregate principal amount of Notes.” According to the complaint, the press release disclosed that AST SpaceMobile intended to use the proceeds from the offering “for general corporate purposes, including without limitation, accelerating the deployment of our controlled spectrum bands on a global basis, monetizing the capabilities of our proprietary technology to capture the evolving commercial opportunities related to artificial intelligence, enhancing investment in government space opportunities in the U.S., reducing higher interest debt, and pursuing opportunistic investments to accelerate our SpaceMobile Service and capabilities.” The next day, AST SpaceMobile allegedly issued another press release announcing the pricing of the foregoing offering at “an initial conversion price of approximately $116.30 per share of AST SpaceMobile’s Class A common stock, which represents a premium of approximately 20% to the last reported sale price of AST SpaceMobile’s Class A common stock on February 11, 2026.” On this news, the price of AST SpaceMobile Class A common stock declined more than 15% further, according to the complaint.
Finally, on July 15, 2026, AST SpaceMobile allegedly issued a press release “announc[ing] its intent to offer” yet another “$1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due 2034 (the ‘Notes’) in a private offering,” and that it “intends to grant the initial purchasers of the Notes . . . an option to purchase . . . up to an additional $150 million aggregate principal amount of Notes.” According to the complaint, the press release disclosed that AST SpaceMobile intended to use the proceeds from the offering to, among other things, “pursue an expanding universe of growth initiatives and secure additional access to orbit for its space-based cellular broadband network, including partnerships and/or acquisitions to further vertically integrate its business and mitigate risks associated with third-party launch providers.” The complaint further alleges that the press release disclosed that AST SpaceMobile “currently does not have any understandings or agreements with respect to any such strategic transactions.” Later that same day, AST SpaceMobile allegedly issued another press release announcing the pricing of the foregoing offering. The complaint alleges that the press release specifically depicted the pricing as “$1.0 billion 1.625% convertible senior notes due 2034 . . . [at] an initial conversion price of approximately $79.57 per share of AST SpaceMobile’s Class A common stock, which represents a premium of approximately 20.0% over the last reported sale price of AST SpaceMobile’s Class A common stock on July 15, 2026,” as well as “[c]apped call transactions . . . [at] an initial cap price of $149.20 per share of AST SpaceMobile’s Class A common stock, which represents a premium of 125.0% over the last reported sale price of AST SpaceMobile’s Class A common stock on July 15, 2026.” On this news, the price of AST SpaceMobile’s Class A common stock dropped more than 17% further, according to the complaint.
