Rocket Lab Corp — Form 8-K

Rocket Lab completed a $1.944 billion At-The-Market (ATM) equity offering, issuing 29.3 million shares, to secure cash consideration for its pending $1 billion+ acquisition of Iridium Communications. Simultaneously, Iridium amended its $1.775 billion term loan facility to permit the change of control and Rocket Lab terminated its $3.6 billion senior secured bridge facility, establishing permanent cost-effective financing backed by Iridium's free cash flow and a Rocket Lab parent guarantee. The Iridium acquisition is expected to close mid-2027, pending regulatory approvals.
