GOGO INC. (NASDAQ:GOGO) Files An 8-K Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
Item 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.
On June 5, 2020, Gogo LLC (Gogo), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Gogo Inc. (the Company), entered into Amendment No. 6 (the Amendment) to the 2Ku In-Flight Connectivity Services Agreement, dated as of April 1, 2015 (as previously amended, the 2Ku Agreement), between Gogo and Delta Air Lines, Inc. (Delta), which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1. The Amendment provides for (i) the early expiration of the 2Ku Agreement on a fleet-by-fleet staggered schedule beginning in November of 2020 and running through July of 2022 and (ii) deletion of Section 11.2.7 of the 2Ku Agreement, which gave Delta the right to terminate the 2Ku Agreement if, among other things, a materially improved in-flight connectivity product becomes commercially available and the failure to offer that alternative would likely cause Delta competitive harm. The following disclosure regarding the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment, which is incorporated herein by reference.
The Company is issuing the following statement regarding the Amendment and related matters:
Oakleigh Thorne, the Companys President and CEO, concluded the statement by saying:
Though we do not relish the idea of having a competitor join us at Delta, this amendment gives us time to complete our 2Ka offering and add capacity to our 2Ku network and will enable us to compete effectively for the fleets in question.
We are also very pleased to see Deltas continued focus on providing free Wi-fi despite the impact of COVID-19 and view that as a positive for the in-flight connectivity industry as it will drive demand.
We look forward to continuing to work with Delta to drive its vision.
