Rocket Lab Corporation entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger to acquire Iridium Communications Inc. by sequential mergers announced June 28, 2026. At the First Effective Time each share of Iridium common stock will convert into $27.00 cash plus a variable number of Rocket Lab shares determined by a net exchange ratio tied to Rocket Lab's 10-day VWAP, with an Exchange Ratio ranging from 0.4000 to 0.2400 depending on price. The Transaction is structured to qualify as a tax-free reorganization if certain Stock/Cash consideration conditions are met; otherwise the Subsequent Merger would not occur. Rocket Lab obtained committed bridge financing of $3,600.0 million under a 364-day senior secured facility. 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.
The deal uses a two-step merger structure that will make Iridium an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Rocket Lab and is generally intended to qualify as a tax-free reorganization, subject to stock/cash mix conditions. 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. The Merger Agreement includes a $223.62 million termination fee payable by Iridium to Rocket Lab in specified circumstances, and Iridium directors holding about 1.6% of Iridium shares have signed support agreements to vote in favor of the transaction.
