TAC Index and Spire Aviation Announce Strategic Data Partnership

Pairing will offer insights fueled by live tracking of air cargo supply and market trends

May 26, 2021 07:00 AM Eastern Daylight Time

VIENNA, Va. & RESTON, Va.—(BUSINESS WIRE)—Today Spire Global, Inc. (“Spire” or the “Company’), a space-based Earth data analytics company, and TAC Index Limited (“TAC Index”), a specialist publisher of air cargo data for both industry users and the financial markets, jointly announced a strategic partnership to support the launch of TAC Space. TAC Space will offer insights built from live tracking of global air cargo supply coupled with market data, to create a unique series of data sets which is expected to bring greater color to the market and enhance data decision making capabilities for parties active in air cargo markets. TAC Space can be leveraged alongside the current TAC Index product suite, including an air cargo pricing index product which tracks market demand.

“Air cargo has historically lacked transparency and near-term data, making risk management, contract negotiation, and performance benchmarking notoriously difficult,” remarked TAC Index’s Managing Director, Mr. John Peyton Burnett. “We are very pleased to be working closely with Spire, which generates high quality and granular flight movement data. Combined with TAC Index’s internal processes and data flows, we believe the resulting information from TAC Space will be of great assistance to all parties in the air cargo market, and a welcome addition to the TAC Index air cargo product suite.”

TAC Index worked with Spire Aviation, part of Spire’s Global Data Services group, to verify that Spire’s robust ADS-B data capabilities would meet TAC Space’s intensive needs and build the resulting product partnership.

“Satellite-based data from Spire combined with TAC Index’s cutting edge data science will provide a new view into global trade. We are excited to work with TAC Index to make global air cargo transparency a reality,” said Dr. Shay Har-Noy, General Manager, Spire Aviation. “We’re consistently amazed by the innovative uses of Spire’s data. Just a few years ago this sort of product was out of reach, but now with Spire’s cost effective LEMUR ADS-B constellation and analysis-ready APIs, we’re able to stream tens of millions of data points about global air traffic every single day.”


About TAC Index

TAC Index weekly pricing publications have changed the way forwarders, carriers and shippers as well as analysts can get insights into the air cargo industry. The fact that the indices are both fully antitrust and financial market compliant means they can also open up opportunities for the introduction of risk management tools that were not previously available to the air cargo industry. TAC Index is consolidating data shared by a representative group of international freight forwarders (a combination of global companies, SMEs, master loaders and local heroes) as it only uses transactional data. Statistical filtering using the proprietary algorithms is applied to generate truly representative general cargo indices.

Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “forecast,” “intend,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “seek,” “target” or other similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding expectations of accelerating Spire’s sales and marketing efforts, expectations of product development across Spire’s aviation segment, such as TAC Space, and the applicability of such products to Spire’s market, the strengthening of Spire’s competitive advantage, the importance of TAC Space data to Spire’s target markets, the expansion of Spire’s business to new regions and markets, Spire’s future growth, estimates and forecasts of financial and performance metrics, expectations of achieving and maintaining profitability, projections of total addressable markets, market opportunity and market share, net proceeds from the Proposed Transactions, potential benefits of the Proposed Transaction and the potential success of the Company’s market and growth strategies, and expectations related to the terms and timing of the Proposed Transaction. These statements are based on various assumptions and on the current expectations of NavSight’s and the Company’s management and are not predictions of actual performance. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by any investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of NavSight and the Company. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including (i) the risk that the Proposed Transaction may not be completed in a timely manner or at all, which may adversely affect the price of NavSight’s securities; (ii) the risk that the Proposed Transaction may not be completed by


NavSight’s business combination deadline and the potential failure to obtain an extension of the business combination deadline if sought by NavSight; (iii) the failure to satisfy the conditions to the consummation of the Proposed Transaction, including the approval of the Proposed Transaction by the stockholders of NavSight, the satisfaction of the minimum trust account amount following any redemptions by NavSight’s public stockholders and the receipt of certain governmental and regulatory approvals; (iv) the inability to complete the PIPE investment in connection with the Proposed Transaction; (v) the failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the Proposed Transaction; (vi) the effect of the announcement or pendency of the Proposed Transaction on Spire’s business relationships, performance, and business generally; (vii) risks that the Proposed Transaction disrupts current plans of Spire and potential difficulties in Spire employee retention as a result of the Proposed Transaction; (viii) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against NavSight or Spire related to the business combination agreement or the Proposed Transaction; (ix) the ability to maintain the listing of NavSight’s securities on the New York Stock Exchange; (x) the ability to address the market opportunity for Space-as-a-Service; (xi) the risk that the Proposed Transaction may not generate expected net proceeds to the combined company; (xii) the ability to implement business plans, forecasts, and other expectations after the completion of the Proposed Transaction, and identify and realize additional opportunities; (xiii) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the business combination agreement; (xiv) the risk of downturns, new entrants and a changing regulatory landscape in the highly competitive space data analytics industry; and those factors discussed in NavSight’s Form S-4 filed on May 14, 2021 under the heading “Risk Factors,” and other documents of NavSight filed, or to be filed, with the SEC. If any of these risks materialize or the Company’s assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that neither NavSight nor the Company presently know or that NavSight and the Company currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements.
