Two new application programming interfaces (APIs) launched as the first in ICEYE’s wider API ecosystem, empowering customers to access critical data in response to time-sensitive demands.

HELSINKI, May 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — ICEYE, the global leader in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite operations, announced the launch of two new application programming interfaces (APIs) that will give customers faster access to imagery from the world’s largest SAR satellite constellation through a self-driven, automated process.

The first API automates the satellite tasking process, enabling machine-to-machine interactions for this critical step. Customers who have built their own platforms to access commercial tasking services may now seamlessly integrate into the ICEYE space and ground architecture without a human-in-the-loop.  The second API automates the process for customers to request SAR imagery from ICEYE’s extensive catalog of over 60,000 archive images.

“We are thrilled to announce this new service, which makes the world’s largest SAR satellite constellation even more accessible to our customers,” said  John Cartwright, SVP and Head of Data Product. “Customers increasingly seek to integrate access to the ICEYE SAR constellation, the largest in the world, through their own platforms.  The end-to-end workflow automation we are releasing today puts this power directly in their hands so they can make smarter, data-driven decisions in near real-time.”

The launch of the API marks an important expansion in how ICEYE fields customer requests for SAR data. With the launch of the new APIs, customers can choose between API-based automation or continue to engage with ICEYE’s renowned 24×7 customer support team. All ICEYE customers undergo an extensive security review to ensure any SAR imagery accessed is used appropriately and shared with trusted parties.

“The new APIs enable efficient access to data from ICEYE’s constellation like never before. As a trusted partner to governments, civil, and commercial organizations, ensuring the appropriate use of our imagery is a top priority,” said Eric Jensen, CEO of ICEYE US. “We conduct rigorous security checks with all prospective customers, and those who meet ICEYE’s stringent standards will benefit from unprecedented access to ICEYE SAR data. “

The two newly released APIs are the first in a series of APIs that ICEYE is creating to expand customer service and improve access to ICEYE data and imagery from around the world.

Each Share Subscription Receipt will be automatically exercised into one common share of the Company (each, a “Common Share”) upon completion of the previously announced transaction pursuant to which the Company will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Lapie Mining Inc., which holds certain mineral claims in the Yukon (the “Transaction”). Each Unit Subscription Receipt will be automatically exercised into one unit of the Company (each, a “Unit”) upon completion of the Transaction, whereby each Unit will consist of one Common Share and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole common share purchase warrant, a “Warrant”), with each Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one additional Common Share (each, a “Warrant Share”) at a price of $0.60 until May 3, 2027.

The proceeds from the sale of the Subscription Receipts will be held in escrow pending completion of the Transaction. Following the Transaction, the funds are expected to be used for exploration and related expenditures on the Yukon properties acquired pursuant to the Transaction and working capital purposes.

The Subscription Receipts, including the Common Shares and the Warrants issuable upon automatic exercise of the Subscription Receipts, are and will be subject to a statutory hold period of four months and one day under Canadian securities laws.

Certain insiders acquired an aggregate of 50,000 Share Subscription Receipts and 22,222 Unit Subscription Receipts, and as such the Private Placement is considered a “related party transaction” as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 (“MI 61-101”).

JKS has relied on exemptions from the valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 in respect of the insiders’ participation in the Private Placement, as such participation does not exceed 25% of the Company’s market capitalization. 

The Company will file a material change report in respect of the Private Placement. However, the Company did not file a material change report 21 days prior to closing of the Private Placement as the participation of insiders of the Company in the Private Placement had not been confirmed at that time.
