<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">We are building the first and only global Cellular Broadband network in space to be accessible directly by everyday
smartphones <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">(2G/4G-LTE/5G</FONT> devices) for commercial use, and other applications for government use utilizing our extensive intellectual property (&#147;IP&#148;) and patent portfolio. Our SpaceMobile Service is
being designed to provide cost-effective, high-speed Cellular Broadband services to <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">end-users</FONT> who are out of terrestrial cellular coverage using existing mobile devices. The SpaceMobile Service currently is
planned to be provided by a constellation of high-powered, large phased-array satellites in Low Earth Orbit (&#147;LEO&#148;) using low band and middle band spectrum controlled by MNOs. We are headquartered in Texas where we operate 185,000 square
feet satellite assembly, integrating and testing facilities. Our IP portfolio is diverse, containing numerous and various innovations of the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">direct-to-cell</FONT></FONT> satellite
ecosystem from space to Earth. Our IP portfolio consists of 36 patent families worldwide. As of June&nbsp;30, 2024, we had more than 3,400 patent and patent pending claims worldwide, of which approximately 1,240 have been officially granted or
allowed. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">We intend to work with MNOs to offer the SpaceMobile Service to the MNOs&#146;
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">end-user</FONT> customers. Our vision is that users will not need to subscribe to the SpaceMobile Service directly through us, nor will they need to purchase any new or additional equipment. Instead, users will be
able to access the SpaceMobile Service when prompted on their mobile device that they are no longer within range of the land-based facilities of the MNO operator or will be able to purchase a plan directly with their existing mobile provider. We
intend to seek to use a revenue-sharing business model for SpaceMobile Service in our agreements with MNOs. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">The
SpaceMobile Service is expected to be highly attractive to MNOs as it will enable them to improve and differentiate their service offering without significant incremental capital investments. The SpaceMobile Service is expected to enable MNOs to
augment and extend their coverage without building towers or other land-based infrastructure, including where it is not cost-justified or is difficult due to geographical challenges. As a result of the incremental coverage created by the planned
SpaceMobile Service, we believe that MNOs will have the opportunity to increase subscribers&#146; average revenue per user. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">On April&nbsp;1, 2019, we launched our first test satellite, BW1, which was used to validate our satellite to cellular
architecture and was capable of managing communications delays from LEO and the effects of doppler in a satellite to ground cellular environment using the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">4G-LTE</FONT> protocol. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">We launched our BlueWalker 3 (&#147;BW3&#148;) test satellite on September&nbsp;10, 2022, and announced the completion of the
deployment of the communication phased array antenna of the BW3 test satellite in orbit on November&nbsp;14, 2022. On April&nbsp;25, 2023, we announced that we had successfully completed <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">two-way</FONT> voice calls
directly to standard unmodified smartphones using the BW3 test satellite. On June&nbsp;21, 2023, we announced that we had achieved repeated successful 4G download speeds of above 10 megabits per second (&#147;Mbps&#148;) to standard unmodified
smartphones using the BW3 test satellite. On September&nbsp;19, 2023, we announced that we had achieved repeated successful <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">two-way</FONT> voice calls directly to standard unmodified smartphones using 5G connectivity
and successful download speeds of approximately 14 Mbps utilizing 5 megahertz (&#147;Mhz&#148;) of low band spectrum via the BW3 test satellite. Since then, we have achieved successful download speeds above 21 Mbps, spectral efficiency of
approximately 3 bits per hertz, and have also successfully completed initial <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">in-orbit</FONT> and ground testing for <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-communication</FONT> government applications. We intend to
continue testing capabilities of the BW3 test satellite, including further testing with cellular service providers and the government. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">In July 2024, we completed the final assembly, integration and testing of five of our Block 1 BB satellites. The Block 1 BB
satellites are of similar size and weight to the BW3 test satellite, include our own designed array solar panels and battery systems, and are expected to have ten times higher throughput than the BW3 test satellite. The five Block 1 BB satellites
are currently at the launch site awaiting an orbital launch targeted for on or after September&nbsp;12, 2024. The exact timing of orbital launch is subject to change based on a number of factors, including launch readiness of the launch provider,
weather conditions, and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">The SpaceMobile Service has not been launched and therefore has not yet
generated any revenue. Following the launch and deployment of five Block 1 BB satellites, we currently plan to initiate a limited, noncontinuous SpaceMobile Service in targeted geographical areas, including in the United States, and seek to generate
revenue from such service. Prior to initiating SpaceMobile Service in each jurisdiction, we will need to obtain regulatory approvals in each jurisdiction where we would provide such service and would need to enter into commercial agreements with
MNOs relating to the offering of such service in each jurisdiction. We have received an initial license from the United States Federal Communications Commission (&#147;FCC&#148;) to launch and operate V, S and UHF frequencies to support gateway,
feeder link and telemetry, tracking, and control operations for the first five Block 1 BB satellites in the United States. We have entered into a space-based wireless connectivity agreement with AT&amp;T Services, Inc. (&#147;AT&amp;T
Services&#148;) to provide SpaceMobile Service to AT&amp;T Services&#146; end users for use within the continental United States (excluding Alaska) and Hawaii. We also plan to enter into similar commercial agreements with Verizon in the United
States. Before we begin providing full commercial SpaceMobile Service in the United States, we will need to obtain additional approvals from the FCC. We are expanding our efforts on ground infrastructure development for commercial readiness and
integrating our SpaceMobile Service into the MNOs&#146; infrastructure to enable us to initiate commercial services. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">Beginning in the first quarter of 2024, we have recognized revenue from completion of performance obligations under an
agreement with a prime contractor for the U.S. Government and expect to continue to recognize revenue throughout 2024 as and when we complete the remaining performance obligations under the agreement. In 2024, we expect to begin generating revenue
from the resale of gateway equipment and associated services to MNOs and other third parties. We believe initiation of limited, noncontinuous SpaceMobile Service, as well as completing the milestones under the agreement with a prime contractor for
the U.S. Government, will help to demonstrate the advantages of our satellite-based Cellular Broadband service in the market. These market activities will commence while we continue the development and testing of the next generation of commercial BB
satellites. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">Our Block 2 BB satellites are expected to derive greater performance through the introduction of our own
AST5000 Application Specific Integrated Circuit (&#147;ASIC&#148;) chip, which we believe will enable materially greater throughput capacity of up to 40 MHz per beam to support 120 Mbps peak data rates and up to 10,000 MHz of processing bandwidth
per Block 2 BB satellite, require less power and offer a lower overall unit cost. As of the date of this prospectus, we have completed the design and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">tape-out</FONT> of our ASIC chip. Until the qualification and
assembly of our ASIC chip is complete, we expect to continue to manufacture and launch Block 2 BB satellites that are based on a FPGA (&#147;Field Programmable Gate Arrays&#148;) chip. The Block 2 BB satellites are expected to be approximately 2,400
square feet in size, almost 3.5 times bigger than the Block 1 BB satellites, and will have the largest phased array ever deployed in a LEO for commercial use exceeding the phased array of the BW3 test satellite and the Block 1 BB satellites. We
believe the larger aperture array is expected to provide greater spectrum reuse, enhanced signal strength and increased capacity, thereby reducing the necessary number of satellites to achieve service coverage as compared to smaller apertures. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">We continue to make progress towards the completion of the design and development of our Block 2 BB satellites. We believe we
will benefit from the skills, technological expertise, and manufacturing <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">know-how</FONT> derived from the assembly and testing of our Block 1 BB satellite in the development and assembly of our Block 2 BB satellites.
We are vertically integrated for manufacturing of satellite components and subsystems to reduce our dependency on suppliers, ensure timely supply of satellite components and subsystems to meet our launch timeline, and lower the overall cost of BB
satellites. We own or license the IP and control the manufacturing process, either internally or with contract manufacturers, for approximately 95% of the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">sub-systems</FONT> planned to be used in our Block 2 BB
satellites. We began the design and development of the Block 2 BB satellites prior to the design and development of Block 1 BB satellites. We have secured agreements and placed orders for procurement of components and subsystems required for
manufacturing of Block 2 BB satellites. We have commenced manufacturing the components and subsystems for Block 2 BB satellites. We have entered into an agreement with a launch service provider to launch the first Block 2 BB satellite. While the
agreement has a preliminary launch window in the first quarter of 2025, the agreement allows us to alter the launch window, at </P>

our option and at no additional cost, subject to the launch vehicle provider&#146;s launch schedule availability. The exact timing of the launch has not been determined and is contingent on a
number of factors, including satisfactory and timely completion of the design, assembly and testing of the Block 2 BB satellite, regulatory approvals, availability of launch windows by the launch providers, logistics, and other factors, many of
which are beyond our control. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">We are developing a phased satellite deployment plan and corresponding commercial launch
plan of the SpaceMobile Service based on targeted geographical areas to provide the SpaceMobile Service to the most commercially attractive MNO markets. This prioritization of coverage is designed to minimize the capital required to initiate and
operate commercial service that generates cash flows from operating activities sooner. We expect that such a successful commercial service would enable us to attract additional capital to continue to assemble and launch additional BB satellites to
expand our capacity and geographic coverage area, although there can be no assurance that such capital would be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">We plan to achieve service in the selected, targeted geographical areas with the launch and operation of 25 BB satellites and
achieve substantial service in all targeted geographical areas to meet our long term business goals with the launch and operation of approximately 95 BB satellites. We anticipate launching and deploying additional satellites beyond the initial 95
satellites in order to enhance coverage and system capacity in response to incremental market demand. Our current plan is subject to numerous uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control, including timely supply of materials and components,
satisfactory and timely completion of design, assembly and testing of the satellites, availability of launch vehicles aligned with our timeline, availability of launch windows by the launch providers, proposed orbits and resulting satellite
coverage, launch costs, ability to enter into agreements with MNOs, regulatory approvals, our ability to raise capital, and other factors. We may adopt a strategy for commercial launch of the SpaceMobile Service, including the nature and type of

conversion of the Notes. The Investors will be entitled to (i)&nbsp;make a written demand for registration under the Securities Act of all or part of their shares of Class&nbsp;A Common Stock (up to a maximum of three demands) and only if the
offering will include registrable securities with a total offering price reasonably expected to exceed, in the aggregate, $50.0&nbsp;million, and (ii) &#147;piggy-back&#148; registration rights to registration statements filed in the future. We will

instructions to be valid, the depositary must receive them on or before the date specified. To the extent possible, the depositary will vote the shares as instructed by the holder. We agree to take all reasonable actions that the depositary

that wishes to exercise its warrant to do so on a &#147;cashless basis.&#148; In determining whether to require all holders to exercise their warrants on a &#147;cashless basis,&#148; our management will consider, among other factors, our cash
position, the number of Public Warrants that are outstanding and the dilutive effect on our stockholders of issuing the maximum number of shares of Class&nbsp;A Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of our Public Warrants. If our management takes
advantage of this option, all holders of Public Warrants would pay the exercise price by surrendering their Public Warrants for that number of shares of Class&nbsp;A Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x)&nbsp;the product of the
number of shares of Class&nbsp;A Common Stock underlying the Public Warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the Public Warrants and the &#147;fair market value&#148; (as defined below) over the exercise price of the
Public Warrants, by (y)&nbsp;the fair market value. Solely for the purposes of this calculation, the &#147;fair market value&#148; shall mean the average reported last sale price of the Class&nbsp;A Common Stock for the 10 trading days ending on the
third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of Public Warrants. If we select this option, the notice of redemption will contain the information necessary to calculate the number of shares of
Class&nbsp;A Common Stock to be received upon exercise of the Public Warrants, including the &#147;fair market value&#148; in such case. Requiring a cashless exercise in this manner will reduce the number of shares to be issued and thereby lessen
the dilutive effect of a Public Warrant redemption. We believe this feature is an attractive option to us if we do not need the cash from the exercise of the Public Warrants. If we call our Public Warrants for redemption and our management does not
take advantage of this option, the Sponsor and its permitted transferees would still be entitled to exercise their private placement warrants for cash or on a cashless basis using the same formula described above that other warrant holders would
have been required to use had all warrant holders been required to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis, as described in more detail below. </P>

engage in overallotment, stabilizing transactions, short covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act. Overallotment involves sales in excess of the offering size, which create a short position.
Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase the underlying security so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum. Short covering transactions involve purchases of the securities in the open market after the distribution is
completed to cover short positions. Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a dealer when the securities originally sold by the dealer are purchased in a stabilizing or covering transaction to cover short positions.
Those activities may cause the price of the securities to be higher than it would otherwise be. If commenced, the underwriters may discontinue any of the activities at any time. These transactions may be effected on any exchange or <FONT

underwriters that are qualified market makers on Nasdaq may engage in passive market making transactions in the securities on Nasdaq in accordance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act during the business day prior to the pricing of the offering,

a price not in excess of the highest independent bid for such security; if all independent bids are lowered below the passive market maker&#146;s bid, however, the passive market maker&#146;s bid must then be lowered when certain purchase limits are
exceeded. Passive market making may stabilize the market price of the securities at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time. </P>

agreement. The indemnification agreements also require us, if so requested, to advance all reasonable fees, expenses, charges and other costs that such director or officer incurred, provided that such person will return any such advance if it is
ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification by us. Any claims for indemnification by our directors and officers may reduce our available funds to satisfy successful third-party claims against us and may reduce the

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">(a) <U>Indemnification and Change of Control</U>. The enforceability of any agreement relating to (i)&nbsp;indemnification, contribution or
exculpation from costs, expenses or other liabilities or (ii)&nbsp;changes in the organizational control or ownership of any party, which agreement (in the case of clause (i)&nbsp;or clause (ii)) is contrary to public policy or Applicable Law. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">(b) <U>Jurisdiction, Venue, etc</U>. The enforceability of any agreement to submit to the jurisdiction of any specific federal or state court
(other than the enforceability in a court of the State of New York of any such agreement to submit to the jurisdiction of a court of the State of New York, to waive any objection to the laying of the venue, to waive the defense of <U>forum</U>

govern)). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">(c) <U>Remedies</U>. The enforceability of any provision in any Subject Document to the effect that rights or remedies are not
exclusive, that every right or remedy is cumulative and may be exercised in addition to any other right or remedy, that the election of some particular remedy does not preclude recourse to one or more others or that failure to exercise or delay in
exercising rights or remedies will not operate as a waiver of any such right or remedy. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:24pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="center"><B><U>Qualifications and Limitations Applicable to

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">(c) <U>Equitable Principles</U>. Our opinions are subject to the effect of general
principles of equity (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), including, without limitation, concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing. In applying such principles, a court, among other
things, might limit the availability of specific equitable remedies (such as injunctive relief and the remedy of specific performance), might not allow a creditor to accelerate maturity of debt or exercise other remedies upon the occurrence of a
default deemed immaterial or for <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-credit</FONT> reasons or might decline to order a debtor to perform covenants in a Subject Document. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">(d) <U>Unenforceability of Certain Provisions</U>. Provisions contained in the Securities or the Subject Documents that require waivers or
amendments to be made only in writing may be unenforceable or ineffective, in whole or in part. The inclusion of such provisions, however, does not render any of the Securities or the Subject Documents invalid as a whole. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">(e) <U>Choice of New York Law and Forum</U>. To the extent that any of our opinions relate to the enforceability of the choice of New York law
or any choice of New York forum provisions of any Subject Document, our opinion is rendered in reliance upon N.Y. Gen. Oblig. Law &#167;&#167; <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">5-1401</FONT> and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">5-1402</FONT> and N.Y.
CPLR 327(b) and is subject to the qualification that such enforceability may be limited by principles of public policy, comity and constitutionality. We express no opinion as to whether a United States federal court would have subject-matter or
personal jurisdiction over a controversy arising under the Subject Documents. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">(f) <U>Currency Conversion</U>. We advise you that, as of
the date of this opinion letter, a judgment for money in an action based on a Debt Security or an Indenture denominated in a currency other than United States dollars in a federal or state court in the United States ordinarily would be rendered or
enforced in United States only in United States dollars. The date and method used to determine the rate of conversion of a foreign currency into United States dollars will depend on various factors, including which court renders the judgment. We
express no opinion as to whether a court would award a judgment in a currency other than United States dollars or the particular date or rate of exchange that would be used by such court in the entry of a judgment. </P>
