A. | History and Development of the Company |
B. | Business Overview |
• | The satellite payload, which is the system integrated to the satellite platform that provides in-space data receiving, processing and transmitting capabilities. |
• | The user terminal, which is the system on the ground (or aircraft, in the case of IFC), comprised of an antenna and modem, that digitally links to the satellite payload and provides data receiving, processing and transmitting capabilities. |
• | The hub, which is the system that enables the network operator to control and manage its communication network and the interaction between the satellite payload and the ground terminal. |
• | Modems. We have developed our modems based on our proprietary SX-3000 and SX-3099 Very Small Aperture Terminal (“VSAT”) chips, a part of our ASIC technology and one of the base building blocks for all our terminal products. We produce modem modules designed to bring the fastest performance available today in a compact form factor and with low power. All of our modems are designed for easy integration with our customers’ hardware, and software solutions and are available for a variety of applications. Our modems are designed to natively support the entire DVB-RCS2 / DVB-S2X industry standards as well as a complete SDR for any other waveform, to ensure maximum flexibility and relevance to our customer base. These industry standards are intended to ensure that systems that utilize them perform with better efficiency, more throughput and better network reliability. We were directly involved in writing the DVB-S2X standard which is based in part on our technology and patents. |
• | Antennas. We offer a line of advanced ESMA products based on our proprietary BEAT and PRIME ASIC chip technologies for both ground and Aero/IFC terminal connectivity. |
• | Cutting-Edge Chips. We believe we are positioned to be a leading provider of satellite communications systems for the next generation of satellites. Our modem chips have the ability to split data for retransmission and combine received data from nearby satellites or ground hubs efficiently and quickly. Our chip technology enables us to develop communications systems that are high performing, low weight, energy efficient and sized to be compatible for a wide array of applications and satellite technologies. |
• | Advanced Antennas and Modems. Our technology in the field of multibeam management, transmission and beamforming and hopping, based on our advanced chips, introduces a new and advanced generation of flat electronic antennas that will be critical to enabling user terminals to track multiple LEO satellites at a time. Our ESMA chips enable efficiency, modularity and scalability to support multibeam and high data rates. We are designing efficient and innovative digital interfaces for our modems to enable them to handle numerous transmission and reception beams, which will be necessary for LEO satellite networks. |
• | Tailor Made. We have the ability to design and present customers with customized solutions using our whole family of highly flexible chips and modules that integrate with their planned or existing systems, and which can be tailored to meet their requirements. We believe that providing optimized cost-effective solutions, in an era when satellite technology is rapidly evolving, is important for positioning us at the technological forefront of the market and securing relationships with leading communications providers. |
• | End-to-End Solutions. Our development team manages the entire product development life cycle, beginning with the characterization stage, through to the design and third-party manufacture of the chips, integration of the chips within communications systems, testing of the systems and culminating with delivery and the provision of operational support to the customer. The solutions we provide enable customers to enjoy an efficient and continuous process for the development of their systems with a single supplier and single point of contact throughout the entire development and implementation process. We develop the chips, design the systems that integrate the chips, write the software needed to operate the chips and manage integration of the various components into a single, cohesive satellite communications systems that fits our customers’ needs. |
• | Superior Technology Leading to Superior Performance. We believe we are a technology and product leader in the growing satellite communications industry, as evidenced by our innovative technologies such as the digital beamforming and the beam-hopping chip technology. Our chips are designed to power our satellite communications systems, which in turn enhance satellite communications capabilities, including on-board processing capabilities driven by channel switching and flexibility. |
• | Tailor-Made Innovation of Next-Generation Satellite Communications Technology. Our SDR modem and antenna chips are designed to be tailored and optimized to meet the technical requirements of our customers in their respective end markets without the traditional expense of developing bespoke chips each time. This is a significant differentiator from, and combined with the over $243 million we have invested in research and development, creates significant barriers to entry for, our competitors. Our communications systems are also capable of being tailored to our customers’ needs, while promoting efficiency through a common chip set across the entire satellite communications value chain. In many cases, our close relationships with our customers in the design stage and our deep engineering expertise, position us in a limited group of satellite communications system developers capable of providing the necessary solutions to our customers. We believe these close working relationships, coupled with our proprietary technology and experience, help our customers achieve higher throughput capacity and better integration of all key components of the satellite communications system, while providing advantages in terms of lower weight and power consumption. We believe our solution enables overall lower systems costs relative to our principal competitors. |
• | Silicon Enabled SWaP-C. The use of silicon-based technologies in our satellite communications chips and systems is key to achieving the industry’s goal of producing systems that are smaller in size and lower in weight, power consumption and cost. |
• | Higher Reliability, Lower Maintenance and Faster Installation. The use of silicon in our antenna systems makes them more reliable than the mechanical antennas available in the market due to fewer moving parts, fewer failure points and faster installation time of our antennas. We have designed our antenna systems to be easier to install and require less maintenance than systems using mechanical elements with complex packaging. |
• | End-to-End Capabilities Promoting Long-term Customer Relationships. We often cover the entire life cycle of the systems we deliver to our customers, from defining specifications according to our customers’ requirements, to designing or redesigning the chips, to oversight of the assembly of the final product and the subsequent delivery of custom-tailored products to the customer. We believe that our participation in serving the entire life cycle of the customer’s satellite communications system promotes long-term customer relationships, as once our tailor-made systems are integrated in a customer’s satellite constellation or the ground communications infrastructure, the costs of switching to a different provider of satellite communications systems could often be substantial. |
• | Proven Management Team. Our founders and executive management team have extensive experience in effectively guiding companies through various industry cycles and technology transitions. We have recently strengthened our leadership with the joining of Mr. Nir Barkan as a Chief Executive Officer as of June 1, 2023 and the addition of Itzik Ben Bassat as our Chief Operating Officer as of February 12, 2023. Mr. Nir brings extensive experience of leading high tech technologies and products companies, including Curvalux, Orbit and Texas Instruments. Mr. Yoav Leibovitch, our Executive Chairman of the Board, has vast experience in leading the financial strategizing and investor relations of public companies. Our management team provides us with steady, reliable leadership, uniquely capable of identifying strong investments, executing through change, and maintaining stability during market uncertainty. |
• | Strengthen our Technology Leadership. We believe that our success thus far is largely attributable to our digital silicon chip design expertise. We aim to leverage our design expertise to continue developing high-performing chips and systems that are smaller, lighter, have lower power consumption and a lower cost, while continuing to invest in research and development to maintain our technology leadership in this market. |
• | Capitalize on LEO and IFC Market Opportunities. The satellite communications market presents significant opportunities for innovative solutions. The introduction of the new LEO satellite constellations creates the need for smaller satellite communications systems that can handle higher speeds, larger capacity and operate with lower power consumption. Our modem and antenna chips, as well as our satellite payload, user terminal and hub systems were developed to meet the new technological needs of the LEO satellite constellations. New opportunities in the Aero/IFC market are emerging as the demand for “home-like” broadband connectivity on commercial flights increases, creating the need for IFC systems that can deliver fast and reliable connectivity. By developing our chips and systems to meet new market opportunities, we intend to expand the deployment of our next generation chips and systems. |
• | Leverage and Expand our Existing Customer Base. We intend to continue to develop long-term, collaborative relationships with top tier customers who are regarded as leaders in their respective markets. We intend to continue to focus on sales to these customers and build on our relationships with them to define and enhance our product roadmap and expand our scope of business with them. Engaging with market leaders will also enable us to participate in emerging technology trends and new industry standards. |
• | Attract and Retain Top Talent. We are committed to recruiting and retaining talented professionals with proven expertise in the design, development, marketing and sales of satellite communications chips and systems. We believe we have assembled a high-quality global multinational team in all the areas of expertise required for a leading satellite communications company. We believe that our ability to attract the best engineers is a critical component of our future growth and success. |

(1) | Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2022 reflects the impact of a $333 million non-recurring, listing expense, of which $318 million was a non-cash expense due to the application of IFRS 2 (Share-based Payments) and a $37.4 million non-cash finance expense reflecting the revaluation of a derivative contract relating to the transactions under the Forward Purchase Agreement. Neither of the aforementioned non-cash expenses had any impact on our income tax expense or benefit for the year ended December 31, 2022 or on our deferred tax assets or liabilities as of that date.

• | persons that actually or constructively own 5% or more (by vote or value) of the outstanding SatixFy Ordinary Shares; |
• | “controlled foreign corporations,” “passive foreign investment companies,” and corporations that accumulate earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax; |

• | a trust that (1) is subject to the primary supervision of a U.S. court and the control of one or more “United States persons” (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), or (2) has a valid election in effect to be treated as a “United States person” (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. |
• | the SatixFy Ordinary Shares are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States; |
• | SatixFy is neither a PFIC (as discussed below under “— Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules”) nor treated as such with respect to the U.S. Holder in any taxable year in which the dividend is paid or the preceding taxable year; |
• | the U.S. Holder satisfies certain holding period requirements; and |
• | the U.S. Holder is not under an obligation to make related payments with respect to positions in substantially similar or related property. |
• | at least 75% of its gross income for such year is passive income; or |
• | at least 50% of the value of its assets (generally based on an average of the quarterly values of the assets) during such year is attributable to assets that produce passive income or are held for the production of passive income. |
• | Passive income generally includes dividends, interest, royalties, rents, annuities, net gains from the sale or exchange of property producing such income and net foreign currency gains. For this purpose, cash is categorized as a passive asset and the company’s unbooked intangibles associated with active business activity are taken into account as a non- passive asset. Goodwill is an active asset under the PFIC rules to the extent attributable to activities that produce active income. For this purpose, SatixFy will be treated as owning its proportionate share of the assets and earning its proportionate share of the income of any other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes in which SatixFy owns, directly or indirectly, 25% or more (by value) of the stock. |
• | Whether SatixFy or any of its subsidiaries is treated as a PFIC is determined on an annual basis. Based on the current and anticipated composition of our and our subsidiaries’ income, assets and operations, including goodwill, which is based on the trading prices of our Satixfy Ordinary Shares during 2023, we believe that we were not a PFIC for the taxable year of 2022. However, whether we or any of our subsidiaries are a PFIC for any taxable year is a factual determination that depends on, among other things, the composition of our and our subsidiaries’ income and assets. Changes in the composition of our and our subsidiaries’ income or assets may cause us to be or become a PFIC for the current or subsequent taxable years. In addition, because the value of our goodwill may be determined based on our market capitalization, the decline in our market capitalization (or a further such decline) could cause us to be treated as a PFIC for 2022, the current taxable year or a future taxable year. Our PFIC status for our 2023 taxable year can be determined only after the end of the year. Even if the value of our goodwill is respected for 2022, we may be a PFIC for the current taxable year or future taxable years if our market capitalization does not increase significantly and we continue to hold substantial amounts of cash and financial investments. Therefore, there is a risk that we may be a PFIC due to our declined market capitalization. The application of the PFIC rules is subject to uncertainty in several respects, and SatixFy can make no assurances that the IRS will not take a contrary position or that a court will not sustain such a challenge by the IRS. |
• | the excess distribution or gain will be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the SatixFy Ordinary Shares and/or SatixFy Warrants; |

Interest expense in this context includes initial transaction costs, as well as any interest or coupon payable while the liability is outstanding. |
