PART III – NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-CEN, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.
Spire Global, Inc. (the “Company”) is unable to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 (the “Quarterly Report”) within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort and expense. The Company is in the process of reviewing its accounting practices and procedures with respect to revenue recognition related to certain contracts in its “Space as a Service” business (the “Contracts”) under applicable accounting standards and guidance. The re-evaluation relates to the potential existence of embedded leases of identifiable assets in the Contracts and the related recognition of revenue for pre-space mission activities. The Company is also considering any related internal control matters associated with the Contracts. Due to this ongoing review, the preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2024 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, will require additional time to complete. Depending upon the results of this review, the Company may be required to restate or revise its previously issued financial statements.
As a result of this ongoing review and the related delay in the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for such periods, the Company will be unable to deliver the quarterly financial information that is required to be provided to the lenders under the Company’s financing agreement (the “Financing Agreement”) with Blue Torch Finance LLC (“Blue Torch”), as administrative agent and collateral agent, and certain lenders, as of and for periods ended June 30, 2024, and potentially future periods, depending on when its review related to the Contracts is complete. Further, based on preliminary information, but subject to change as a result of the ongoing review described above, the Company believes that it may not be in compliance with the maximum debt to EBITDA leverage ratio financial covenant under the Financing Agreement as of June 30, 2024. The Company is in active dialog with Blue Torch regarding potential waivers and/or amendments to the Financing Agreement, which may include a fee payment or potential additional financial covenant requirements, in an effort to avoid the collateral agent exercising remedies available to it under the Financing Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, there is no assurance that the lenders will agree to any waiver or amendment to the Financing Agreement on terms acceptable to the Company or at all.
While the Company’s review is ongoing, at the time of filing this report, the type of Contracts that the Company has identified for re-evaluation resulted in recognized revenue of approximately $10 to $15 million on an annual basis. Depending on the results of the review, additional financial measures such as gross profit could also be impacted. However, the Company believes that the re-evaluation of its revenue recognition for these Contracts will not impact the Company’s statements of cash flows for any period.
The Company does not currently expect to be able to file the Quarterly Report within the extension period of five calendar days permitted under Rule 12b-25 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

(3) |
Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?
x Yes ¨ No
If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.
Because its review of the Contracts and analysis of the applicable accounting guidance is ongoing, the Company is not currently in a position to provide a reasonable estimate of any anticipated changes in its results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to its results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.
