The Named Individual Defendants

Two officers are named alongside the Company. Avellan has served as Chairman and CEO at all relevant times, and Johnson has served as CFO and Chief Legal Officer at all relevant times. The pleading asserts that both possessed the power and authority to control the contents of AST's SEC filings, press releases, and other market communications, and had the ability and opportunity to prevent or correct the statements at issue.

Sarbanes-Oxley Certification Obligations

SOX certifications signed by both officers were appended to the Company's 2024 Form 10-K and to quarterly reports during the Class Period, attesting that the filings contained no untrue statement of material fact and no material omission. Those same filings stated that existing cash on hand would be sufficient to meet anticipated capital requirements for the next twelve months.

Alleged Control Person Liability

• Signed SOX certifications accompanying the 2024 annual report and the Q1, Q2, and Q3 2025 quarterly reports
• Controlled the liquidity representations that the complaint charges overstated the sufficiency of AST's capital position
• Approved or authorized public statements about the durability of the Company's position in the satellite direct-to-cellular market
• As averred, sold 55,244 shares (CEO) and 190,131 shares (CFO) during the Class Period, for combined proceeds exceeding $18 million
• Are charged under Section 20(a) as control persons of AST in addition to primary liability under Section 10(b)

"Corporate officers have a duty to ensure their companies' public statements are accurate and complete. Here, the complaint charges that senior AST SpaceMobile executives certified filings describing cash on hand as sufficient, and that three separate $1.0 billion convertible note offerings followed." -- Joseph E. Levi, Esq.
