Spire Global files lawsuit to force Kpler to close $233.5M maritime business sale
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Spire seeks specific performance in Delaware Chancery Court to compel Kpler to complete the acquisition of its maritime business for $233.5M plus $7.5M in additional payments.
- Spire claims all closing conditions were met by January 17, 2025; Kpler refused to close on January 24, 2025 without justification.
- Kpler removed the case to federal court; Spire alleges Kpler is using pretextual reasons and not using best efforts under the 'hell-or-high-water' regulatory covenant.
- Spire also seeks declaratory judgment that Kpler breached the Share Purchase Agreement and reserves the right to seek damages.
- Proceeds from the sale were intended to retire all outstanding debt and invest in growth; deal uncertainty may affect financial plans.
