The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of the Company’s Common Stock as of the Closing Date by:

● each person known to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the Company’s outstanding ordinary shares;

● each director and each of the Company’s named executive officers; and

● all current executive officers and directors as a group.

The information below is based on an aggregate of 51,729,704 shares of Class A Common Stock, 51,636,922 shares of Class B Common Stock and 78,163,078 shares of Class C Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the Closing Date. Beneficial ownership is determined according to the rules of the SEC, which generally provide that a person has beneficial ownership of a security if she, he or it possesses sole or shared voting or investment power over that security, including options and warrants that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days. Voting power represents the combined voting power of shares of Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock and Class C Common Stock owned beneficially by such person.

Market Price of and Dividends on the Registrant’s Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters

Prior to the Closing Date, the Company’s publicly traded units, common stock and warrants were listed on Nasdaq under the symbols “NPAUU,” “NPA,” and “NPAWW,” respectively. Upon the Closing, the Company’s Class A Common Stock and warrants were listed on Nasdaq under the symbols “ASTS” and “ASTSW,” respectively. The Company’s publicly traded units automatically separated into their component securities upon the closing of the Business Combination, and as a result, no longer trade as a separate security and were delisted from Nasdaq.

As of April 6, 2021, following the completion of the Business Combination, there were 28 holders of record of Class A Common Stock and two holders of record of Warrants. However, because many of the shares of Class A Common Stock and the Warrants are held by brokers and other institutions on behalf of stockholders, the Company believes there are substantially more beneficial holders of Class A Common Stock and Warrants than record holders.

The information set forth in the section entitled “Price Range of Securities and Dividends—NPA” on page 247 of the Proxy Statement is incorporated herein by reference.

Market Information and Holders of the Company

Dividends of the Company

NPA has never paid any cash dividends on NPA’s Class A Common Stock. The payment of cash dividends in the future will be dependent upon revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements and general financial condition subsequent to completion of the Business Combination. The payment of any cash dividends subsequent to the Business Combination will be within the discretion of the Company’s board of directors and the board of directors will consider whether or not to institute a dividend policy. The board of directors currently anticipates the Company will retain all earnings of the Company, if any, for use in the Company’s business and operations and, accordingly, the board of directors does not anticipate declaring any dividends in the foreseeable future.

2020 Incentive Award Plan

On April 1, 2021, the AST SpaceMobile, Inc. 2020 Incentive Award Plan (the “2020 Incentive Award Plan”) became effective. The 2020 Incentive Award Plan was approved by NPA’s stockholders at the Special Meeting on April 1, 2021. The purpose of the 2020 Incentive Award Plan is to promote the success and enhance the value of the Company and AST by attracting, retaining and motivating selected employees, consultants and directors of the Company and AST. The 2020 Incentive Award Plan provides for grants of stock-based compensation awards, including without limitation, non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, or SARs, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, incentive unit awards other stock or cash based awards and dividend equivalent awards. Employees, officers and consultants of the Company or any parent or affiliate, including AST, or any non-employee director of the Company’s board of directors are eligible to receive awards under the 2020 Incentive Award Plan. The 2020 Incentive Award Plan is administered by the compensation committee of the Company’s board of directors, referred to herein as the “plan administrator”. The plan administrator has the authority to take all actions and make all determinations under the 2020 Incentive Award Plan, to interpret the 2020 Incentive Award Plan and award agreements and to adopt, amend and repeal rules for the administration of the 2020 Incentive Award Plan as it deems advisable.

2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The AST SpaceMobile, Inc. 2020 Employee Stock Plan (the “ESPP”) was approved by NPA’s stockholders at the Special Meeting. The purpose of the ESPP is to assist the Company’s eligible employees in acquiring a stock ownership interest in the Company and to help the Company’s eligible employees provide for their future security and to encourage them to remain in the Company’s employment. The ESPP will be comprised of two distinct components in order to provide increased flexibility to grant options to purchase shares under the ESPP to U.S. and to non-U.S. employees. Specifically, the ESPP authorizes (i) the grant of options to U.S. employees that are intended to qualify for favorable U.S. federal tax treatment under Section 423 of the Code (the “Section 423 Component”), and (ii) the grant of options that are not intended to be tax-qualified under Section 423 of the Code to facilitate participation for employees located outside of the U.S. who do not benefit from favorable U.S. federal tax treatment and to provide flexibility to comply with non-U.S. law and other considerations (the “Non-Section 423 Component”). Where permitted under local law and custom, we expect that the Non-Section 423 Component will generally be operated and administered on terms and conditions similar to the Section 423 Component. The ESPP will be administered by the compensation committee of the Company’s board of directors.

The Company has reserved a total of 2,000,000 shares of Class A Company Common Stock for issuance pursuant to the ESPP, subject to certain adjustments set forth therein.

The information set forth in the section entitled “Proposal No. 6 — The ESPP Proposal” beginning on page 158 of the Proxy Statement is incorporated herein by reference.

(the “Director Compensation Program”). The material terms of the Director Compensation Program are described in the section of the Proxy Statement beginning on page 212 entitled “Executive and Director Compensation of AST—Post-Business Combination Director Compensation Program.” The foregoing description of the Director Compensation Program and the information incorporated by reference in the preceding sentence does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the Director Compensation Program, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.11.

Item 5.06. Change in Shell Company Status.

As a result of the Business Combination, NPA ceased being a shell company.

Item 8.01. Other Events.

AST is currently manufacturing, procuring and assembling the satellite componentry required for its BlueWalker 3 (“BW3”) test satellite. During 2021, AST will be assembling and testing the BW3 satellite at its facilities. BW3 currently is targeted to launch late in the fourth quarter of 2021. However, the exact timing of such launch is contingent on a number of factors, including satisfactory and timely completion of construction and testing of BW3 and the availability of an appropriate launch window and vehicle from our launch provider. The launch of BW3 was scheduled to coincide with the launch of a primary payload from an unrelated entity. The primary payload from such unrelated entity is delayed, which may in turn delay the launch window for BW3. If AST is required to identify another launch vehicle and/or launch provider, AST may incur delays in such launch and may incur additional costs.

Item 9.01. Financial Statement and Exhibits.

The Securities and Exchange Commission has recently informally indicated that they may potentially require former special purpose acquisition companies, such as the Company, to classify their warrants as fair value liabilities.
