LITTLETON, Colo., May 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- CONX Corp. (NASDAQ:CONX) (the "Company" or "CONX"), completed its previously announced transaction pursuant to the terms of the purchase and sale agreement (as amended by that amendment to the sale and purchase agreement, the "Purchase Agreement"), dated as of March 10, 2024, by and between the Company and EchoStar Real Estate Holding L.L.C. ("Seller"), a subsidiary of EchoStar Corporation. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company purchased from Seller the commercial real estate property (the "Property") in Littleton, Colorado, comprising the corporate headquarters of DISH Wireless, for a purchase price of $26.75 million (the "Transaction"). The Transaction constitutes the Company's initial business combination.

In connection with the Transaction, the Company and Seller have entered into a sale-leaseback agreement (the "Lease Agreement"), pursuant to which Seller will lease back the Property from the Company.

Prior to the consummation of, and in connection with, the Transaction, the Company provided all holders of shares of its Class A common stock, par value of $0.0001 per share purchased in the Company's initial public offering, the opportunity to have such shares redeemed pursuant to, and subject to the limitations of, the Company's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation.

The Company anticipates to grow through acquisition opportunities, including, but not limited to, disruptive technologies and infrastructure assets to maximize the Company's ability to drive shareholder value. Jason Kiser, CONX CEO, will continue to lead the Company through its next phase of growth.

Mandatory Unit Separation

On or about May 2, 2024, the Company's units, which trade with the ticker symbol "CONXU" will be mandatorily separated and the units will no longer trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Each unit is comprised of one share of the Company's Class A common stock and one-fourth of one redeemable warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at price of $11.50 per share. In the separation, unit owners will receive the number of shares of Class A common stock and warrants underlying such units. This is a mandatory and automatic separation, and no action is required by the holders of units.

The Class A common stock and warrants are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market and trade with the ticker symbols "CONX" and "CONXW", respectively.

About CONX Corp.

CONX Corp. was incorporated in Nevada on August 26, 2020 as a blank check company. Subsequent to the closing of the Transaction, CONX will derive revenues primarily from rent received from its operation of real estate property. In addition, CONX anticipates to grow through acquisition opportunities, including, but not limited to, disruptive technologies and additional infrastructure assets.
