Item 8.01 Other Events

On August 13, 2021, NavSight Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“NavSight”), the predecessor to Spire Global, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), held a special meeting of stockholders (the “NavSight Special Meeting”) to approve certain matters relating to the business combination between NavSight and Spire Global, Inc.

One of these matters contained in the business combination proposal was to approve an amendment and restatement of NavSight’s Certificate of Incorporation (as so amended and restated, the “New Charter”). The New Charter amended the predecessor certificate of incorporation of NavSight (the “Old Charter”). The Old Charter authorized 100 million shares of Class A Common Stock and 10 million shares of Class B Common Stock. Among other things, the New Charter amended the Old Charter by increasing the number of Class A Common Stock shares authorized for issuance from 100 million to one billion and increasing the number of Class B Common Stock shares authorized for issuance from 10 million to 15 million and changed the Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock from being issued in series to being issued in classes. In addition, the previously outstanding Class B Common Stock was converted into 5,750,000 shares of Class A Common Stock.

The New Charter was approved by a majority of the shares of Class A and Class B common stock of NavSight, voting together as a single class, that were outstanding as of the record date for the NavSight Special Meeting. After the NavSight Special Meeting, NavSight and Spire Global, Inc. closed the business combination. In connection with the closing, NavSight changed its name to Spire Global, Inc., and the New Charter was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on August 16, 2021.

A recent ruling by the Court of Chancery introduces uncertainty as to whether Section 242(b)(2) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) would have required the New Charter to be approved by a separate vote of the majority of NavSight’s then-outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock.

The Company continues to believe that a separate vote of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock was not required to approve the New Charter. To date, no stockholder has given the Company notice of any allegations or demand letters about the proper stockholder votes necessary to approve the New Charter. However, to resolve potential uncertainty with respect to the Company’s capital structure, on March 17, 2023, the Company filed a petition in the Delaware Court of Chancery (the “Court of Chancery”) under Section 205 of the DGCL to seek validation of the New Charter (the “Petition”). Section 205 of the DGCL permits the Court of Chancery, in its discretion, to ratify and validate potentially defective corporate acts. The Petition filed by the Company in the Court of Chancery is captioned In Re Spire Global, Inc. (C.A. No. 2023-0331-LWW (Del. Ch.)). Concurrently with the Petition, the Company filed a motion to expedite the hearing on the Petition.

On March 17, 2023, the Court of Chancery granted the motion to expedite and set a hearing date for the Petition to be heard. The hearing has been set for April 5, 2023 at 1:30 p.m. Eastern Time, at the Leonard L. Williams Justice Center, 500 North King Street, Wilmington, Delaware 19801. As required by the Court of Chancery, the Company is filing the Petition with this Current Report on Form 8-K, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

This Form 8-K constitutes notice of the hearing. If any stockholder of the Company wishes to express a position on the Petition, such stockholders of the Company may (i) appear at the hearing or (ii) file a written submission with the Register in Chancery, Leonard L. Williams Justice Center, 500 North King Street, Wilmington, Delaware 19801, referring to the case caption, In Re Spire Global, Inc. (C.A. No. 2023-0331-LWW (Del. Ch.)), in advance of the hearing, and any such written submission should be emailed to the Company’s counsel, Todd C. Schiltz, Esq., Faegre Drinker Biddle & Reath LLP, at todd.schiltz@faegredrinker.com.

If the Company is not successful in the Section 205 proceeding, the uncertainty with respect to the Company’s capitalization resulting from the Court of Chancery’s ruling referenced above could have a material adverse impact on the Company, including on the Company’s ability to execute its business plan, attract and retain employees, management and directors and conduct equity financing transactions in the future. This uncertainty could impair the Company’s ability to execute its business plan.

Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and may differ from these forward-looking statements.

In particular, no assurances can be made regarding the outcome or the timing of the Section 205 proceeding.
