Iridium Communications Inc.

GHL Acquisition Corp (Nasdaq: GHQ) was a blank-check company that filed an amended S-1 registration statement with the SEC on January 15, 2008, targeting the satellite and telecommunications sector. The vehicle was sponsored by GHL Capital Partners and pursued an acquisition in the communications industry, ultimately completing a business combination with Iridium Communications Inc., the operator of a low-earth-orbit satellite constellation that had undergone restructuring following the original Iridium LLC's bankruptcy. The SPAC represents an early example of the blank-check structure being used to bring a reconstituted communications infrastructure company back to public markets.
