TMTS Spartacus Acquisition Corporation

NextNav, a leader in next generation GPS and 3D geolocation, and Spartacus Acquisition Corporation (NASDAQ: TMTS, TMTSW, and TMTSU) (“Spartacus”), a special purpose acquisition company, today announced that they have completed their previously announced Business Combination (the “Business Combination”), which was approved by Spartacus’ stockholders at its Special Meeting held on October 27, 2021, and closed on October 28, 2021.

The combined company will operate as NextNav Inc. (“NextNav”), and its common stock and warrants are expected to commence trading on Nasdaq under the ticker symbols, “NN” and “NNAVW”, respectively, on Friday, October 29, 2021.

With the completion of this Business Combination, NextNav is well positioned to drive growth in its 3D geolocation businesses and prepare for expansion of its next generation GPS platform. NextNav’s Pinnacle 3D geolocation service is commercially available in over 4,400 cities and towns in the United States and its TerraPoiNT land-based radio positioning and timing network has initial deployments in 47 urban centers. Beyond its technology, NextNav also owns a global intellectual property portfolio of over 100 patents, and a one-of-a-kind portfolio of nationwide 900 MHz spectrum licenses covering 2.4 billion MHz-PoPs – a significant competitive advantage.

Ganesh Pattabiraman, Co-Founder, CEO and President of NextNav said, “Reaching this milestone represents a culmination of a decade plus of innovation and a focus on creating industry leading 3D geolocation technologies that are more accurate, resilient and available. I am extremely proud of the hard work and dedication of our entire team, along with our customers, partners and investors in helping us get to this point. We are excited by the future and look forward to unlocking the potential of next generation GPS and 3D geolocation across a broad spectrum of applications and services – including public safety, Emergency 911, gaming, app and data analytics market segments not only in the US but globally.”

“Today is an exciting moment and a major achievement for NextNav,” said NextNav Chairman of the Board, Gary Parsons. “We are grateful to our new investors, as well as the entire Spartacus team for their partnership and support over the last few months. We are also pleased that Peter Aquino, the CEO and Chairman of the Board of Spartacus and Alan Howe, a Spartacus Director with a deep background in telecommunications, have joined the NextNav Board of Directors.”

Peter Aquino said, “We appreciate the support received from Spartacus stockholders in favor of the Business Combination. The opportunity for NextNav is extremely promising due to its significant spectrum asset, intellectual property and broad market need for accurate 3D geolocation in urban markets. I look forward to participating in NextNav’s future success along with the management team and Board of Directors.”

In addition to Messrs. Parsons, and Pattabiraman, NextNav will continue to be led by its world-class management team of Dr. Arun Raghupathy, Co-Founder and SVP of Engineering, Chris Gates, CFO, and David Knutson, SVP of Network Operations and Deployment.
