Exhibit 99.3

 

 

EMAIL SUBJECT: Airspan is Going Public!

 

Dear Airspan Team,

 

Great news! We are excited to announce we plan to go public and list our stock on the NYSE American stock exchange. This milestone will be accomplished through a merger with and into an already publicly traded special purpose acquisition company (SPAC), New Beginnings Acquisition Corp. (“NBA”) (NYSE American: NBA). You can read the news release we just distributed externally here: www.airspan.com/news/.

 

We will continue to operate under the Airspan name and there will be no substantive changes to our team or how we do business. Airspan will become a public company when the deal is complete, expected to trade on the NYSE American stock exchange under the new ticker symbol “MIMO”. The boards of directors of both Airspan and NBA have unanimously approved the proposed transaction, which is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2021.

 

We Operate at Scale: 1,000+ Customers in More than 100 Countries

There is still work to be done to close this transaction. But once the merger is approved, it will deliver significant financial resources to accelerate our strategic growth plans, and substantially enhance our balance sheet.

 

With the proceeds we are raising from this transaction, we will have additional capital to accelerate our mission to lead the industry into widespread adoption of our products and into the 5G Industrial Revolution.

 

As you know, the industry is moving fast to adopt 5G technology. That means a strong focus on disruptive versatile virtual architectures, as networks transition to reliance on cloud-based software elements, to speed new services to market. There is also a clear recognition that Systems Based companies developing radio elements will be the best path to leveraging the power of MIMO, whether it is from the 3GPP world or the IEEE world. Massive MIMO is a key strength of Airspan – take note of the new stock symbol!

 

We have a great opportunity to expand our company with our strong portfolio of high-quality 5G, Open RAN, CBRS, 4G, Fixed Wireless Access, Mimosa products by Airspan, and Private Network products and solutions – while getting ready with emerging frequency solutions. For example, the full 3.3 to 4.3 GHz band is now in the spotlight, as well as the recent $80B C Block auction in the US.

 

Strict Guidelines around Publicity

As we enter this new chapter, there are some rules we need to follow. The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has strict guidelines around publicity. To avoid delays or any other repercussions the SEC might impose if we do not adhere to these rules, we must avoid speaking publicly about this process and our business metrics and financials. Airspan employees are limited to providing data that is only publicly released by Airspan. Accordingly, I ask that you please refrain from making any statements about our company or this event publicly.

 

The only exception is to share our company-approved, public materials, like our news release or Airspan corporate social media content, without additional statements or opinions. This last point is very important.

 

It’s understandable you would want to share your excitement about the news, but avoid engaging with comments or sharing details that relate to specifics of the deal, or company performance. Also please do not speculate about the announcement and what it might mean, especially prior to the transaction being approved and completed.

Inquiries from the Media

With this in mind, this is a good time to remind you that only our Communications team should interact with journalists, bloggers and industry analysts. If you are contacted by the media, please immediately refer her/him to Howie Waterman, hwaterman@airspan.com, 917-359-5505, and Paul Wakefield, pwakefield@airspan.com, 011 44 7774 622615.

 

If someone asks you about the process of going public or company fundamentals, the best response is to simply say, “We’re really proud and excited. Due to federal regulations, I can’t speak to that, but I would be happy to connect you with the appropriate team members.” Understanding that communications are highly regulated through this process, please know we will continue to share updates with you as we have more to report.

 

In addition, until the disclosure documents relating to the transaction are filed with the SEC, you should not transact in NBA stock.

 

It is an exciting time for all of us at Airspan and I want to take this moment to thank everyone for your continued hard work, dedication, partnership and support toward helping us achieve our company vision and business objectives. We look forward to working with you in this next phase of our business evolution, as we continue to deliver our superior connectivity solutions to fuel the global 5G network transformation.

 

We will host a joint investor conference call with NBA to discuss the proposed transaction this morning at 8 AM EST. To access the conference call, please visit https://www.nbaspac.com, or call 1-844-512-2921 (toll/international 1-412-317-6671) and enter passcode 1143845.
