MCLEAN, Va., July 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Iridium Communications Inc. (Nasdaq: IRDM), a leading provider of global voice, data, and positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) satellite services, announced today that it has completed its acquisition of Aireon LLC, operator of the world's only space-based Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) air traffic surveillance system.
Rocket Lab's $8 billion Iridium acquisition transforms its model into vertically integrated space infrastructure with recurring high-margin cash flows. Iridium contributes approximately $875 million in revenue and $495 million in OEBITDA, significantly improving Rocket Lab's earnings stability profile. Management guides toward $914 million in 2026 revenue and roughly $2 billion by 2029 with a delayed EBITDA inflection.
NEW YORK CITY & NEW ORLEANS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Former Attorney General of Louisiana Charles C. Foti, Jr., Esq. and the law firm of Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC (“KSF”) are investigating the proposed sale of Iridium Communications Inc. (NasdaqGS: IRDM) to Rocket Lab Corporation (NasdaqGS: RKLB). Under the terms of the proposed transaction, shareholders of Iridium will receive $27.00 in cash and a number of shares of Rocket Lab common stock calculated pursuant to an exchange ratio for each share of I.
Rocket Lab acquires Iridium, aiming for vertical integration and entry into the satellite communications application layer. A pivotal move to hedge against existential risk. RKLB gains access to Iridium's L-band spectrum, positioning itself to compete more effectively in a rapidly evolving market. It opens up the application game. Despite IRDM's modest growth, the acquisition is seen as existential for RKLB, while providing proven EBITDA profitability and application optionality.
Insiders may stand to receive substantial financial benefits not available to ordinary shareholders. The proposed transactions may contain terms that could limit superior competing offers. Shareholders are encouraged to contact the firm to discuss their rights and options at no cost or obligation.
