Key takeaways
9
Clear rationale for expanding our satellite constellation now
We are an operating satellite company
with proven technology
Why satellite?
- Global coverage!
→ Global service in place with 12 satellites currently in orbit (of which two are demo satellites)
→ Targeting 20 satellites in orbit by 2022 and 100 by 2024, gradually improving response times (latency)
→ In-house satellite design securing cost and availability
Massive market opportunity
and clear use cases
Unique competitive positioning
High degree of recurring revenues
and customer stickiness
→ We deliver low-cost M2M IoT communication with global coverage
→ Cellular systems / LPWAN cover only ~10% of the world’s surface area
→ We do not target the broadband market or the urban IoT market
→ Expecting more than 5bn connected IoT devices by 2025
→ SatCom penetration expected to increase drastically once low-cost solutions are available
→ Use cases include asset tracking, asset monitoring, environment and safety
→ Low-cost alternative to existing broadband satellite incumbents
→ First-mover in nanosatellites with key technology differentiation and superior client offering
→ Clients require low-cost data plans and low-cost modules with small size and low power consumption
→ Targeting CHF 150m revenues by 2025 with ample capacity for further growth
→ Long-term gross margins of 70% with limited replacement capex requirements
→ Limited expected churn and high degree of recurring data plan revenues

Unmatched combination of technologies
Proprietary ultra-low power M2M modules In-house satellite design
Enabling low-cost connectivity and small-size devices
• 100% internally designed; small-sized and low-
power L-band antenna significantly reducing
satellite weight and cost
• 3-5 year lifespan1
• 3 axis pointing system and state-of-the-art
propulsion system securing position and
altitude control and allows for collision
avoidance maneuvers – reducing the risk of
losing the satellite and creating debris in space
• Two different products addressing different
needs;
1. Module: Off-the-shelf solution for easy
integration of satellite communication into
existing applications using reliable
communication standards
2. Chipset: For customers looking to embed
RF app to own products (available from
2023)

Small form-factor Antenna
• Antenna is a critical part of the form-factor of
the IoT system, and while modules can be
miniaturized further, antennas offers less
flexibility
• L-Band antennas are the most versatile in the
market and can take the form of a patch in a
similar way as a GPS antenna
• Satellite IoT solutions based on other spectrum
such as UHF/VHF could result in a bulkier
solution

Strong competitive edge driven by L-Band access
Astrocast is superior on key metrics such as cost, power consumption and size
Commercial access to L-Band
• The L-Band spectrum offers superior
performance over more commonly
used UHF frequencies, including
1. Smaller antennas (reducing weight
and cost)
2. Less power consumption due to
more efficient radio frequency
components
3. More reliable two-way connection
(less interference or weather-related
perturbation risk)
• L-Band access is secured via an
exclusive strategic partnership with
Thuraya, and is a major advantage
for Astrocast in the satellite IoT
industry

Introduction to transaction
In pole position for growth
IPO to unlock an untapped, massive market opportunity
IPO considerations
• Astrocast has spent 7 years and CHF 24m developing a complete end-to-
end nanosatellite solution, including satellites, communications platform
and modules
• Positioned well ahead of any competitor for providing global, low-cost
satellite IoT coverage with small modules offering long battery life
• Astrocast is now engaging commercial discussions with partners across
the globe from large international corporates and asset owners, to IoT and
maritime equipment specialists
• Extension of an ongoing financing round1 to CHF 35 - 50m by tapping
public markets through a Euronext Growth Oslo IPO
• The ongoing financing round is led by US based Adit Ventures, whose
track record includes Palantir, SpaceX, Klarna, Spotify, AirBnB and
Snapchat. Palantir have pre-committed to subscribe for CHF 5m. CEO
Fabien Jordan and family has subscribed for CHF 0.7m
• CHF 50m secures payment for 202 satellites in addition to the 10 currently
in orbit, full commercial launch and provides cash runway until end of
2022. CHF 35m secures 12 months cash
• Total financing need for full constellation of 100 satellites is estimated at
CHF ~120m

The satellite and module Lead investor
Note 1: The ongoing financing round (to be extended with IPO) of up to CHF 15m is done by way of convertible loan notes with mandatory conversion at IPO
Note 2: Launch costs are usually prepaid well ahead of launch, thus there is a delay from payment to launch of satellite. Targeting a total of 20 satellites in orbit within end of 2022
