The communication states Iridium operates a 66-satellite constellation, serves 2.55 million subscribers, and reported $871M in 2025 revenue. The companies expect a regulatory process to complete, with closing described as likely in mid-2027. Rocket Lab says it will file a Registration Statement on Form S-4 and that the proxy statement/prospectus will be provided to Iridium stockholders for required approvals.
Rocket Lab will acquire Iridium for $54.00 per share in a cash-and-stock deal that implies an enterprise value of approximately $8 billion. The consideration is $27.00 per share in cash plus Rocket Lab common stock sized by an exchange ratio with a collar: reference price $84.54, floor $67.50, cap $112.50. Rocket Lab secured a $3.6 billion 364-day secured bridge facility to refinance about $2.1 billion of Iridium debt and to fund the cash portion alongside $1.6 billion from Rocket Lab’s balance sheet. Iridium reported $871 million revenue in FY2025 with a 57% EBITDA margin, a 66-satellite operational constellation plus 14 on-orbit spares, and over 2.5 million users. The transaction was unanimously approved by both boards and is expected to close in 2027, subject to stockholder and regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions.
Rocket Lab Corporation entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger to acquire Iridium Communications Inc. by sequential mergers announced June 28, 2026.

The Merger Agreement includes customary closing conditions, regulatory approvals (including FCC and HSR clearances), a termination fee of $223.62 million payable by Iridium in specified circumstances, no-shop restrictions, and director support agreements representing approximately 1.6% of Iridium shares as of June 24, 2026.
Rocket Lab Corporation has agreed to acquire Iridium Communications in a cash-and-stock transaction valuing Iridium at about $8.0 billion. Iridium stockholders will receive $27.00 in cash plus Rocket Lab shares per Iridium share, targeting total value of $54.00, with the stock portion set by an exchange ratio within a price collar.

Rocket Lab has secured commitments for a $3.6 billion 364‑day senior secured bridge term loan to fund part of the cash payment, alongside other debt, equity and balance sheet cash.
Closing is expected in mid‑2027, subject to Iridium stockholder approval, antitrust and communications regulatory clearances, effectiveness of a Form S‑4 registration statement and other customary conditions.
