Organization and Business; Business Combination | 1. Organization and Business; Business Combination Principal Business NextNav Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively “NextNav” or the “Company”) delivers next generation positioning, navigation and timing (“PNT”) solutions through network-based solutions, including the Pinnacle system. The Pinnacle system provides “floor-level” altitude service to any device with a barometric pressure sensor, including most off-the-shelf Android and iOS smartphones. The TerraPoiNT system is a terrestrial-based, encrypted network designed to overcome the limitations inherent in the space-based nature of global positioning system (“GPS”) through a network of specialized wide area location transmitters that broadcasts an encrypted PNT signal on a licensed 900 MHz spectrum. Since its inception, NextNav has incurred recurring losses and generated negative cash flows from operations and has primarily relied upon debt and equity financings to fund its cash requirements. Business Combination On October 28, 2021, the Company consummated the previously announced business combination pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 9, 2021, by and among the Company, Spartacus Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Spartacus”), NextNav Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Holdings”) and the other parties thereto (the “Business Combination”). As a result of the Business Combination, the Company changed its name from Spartacus Acquisition Shelf Corp. to NextNav Inc., and certain blocker entities formed by Holdings' equity holders, Holdings and the various operating subsidiaries of Holdings became the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries, with the equity holders of each of such blocker entities and Holdings and Spartacus’ stockholders becoming stockholders in NextNav. While the legal acquirer in the Business Combination is Spartacus, for financial accounting and reporting purposes under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), Holdings is deemed to be the accounting acquirer, with the Business Combination being accounted for as a “reverse recapitalization.” A reverse recapitalization does not result in a new basis of accounting. Accordingly, the reverse recapitalization was treated as the equivalent of Holdings issuing stock for the net assets of Spartacus, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Spartacus are stated at historical costs, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.
