Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.



(a) On March 2, 2022 (the "Dismissal Date"), Iridium Communications Inc. (the
"Company") dismissed Ernst & Young LLP ("EY") as the Company's independent
registered public accounting firm.  The Audit Committee of the Company's Board
of Directors, based on management's recommendation, approved the dismissal of
EY.
The reports of EY on the consolidated financial statements of the Company for
the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 did not contain an adverse
opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to
uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, and through the
Dismissal Date, there were no disagreements with EY on any matter of accounting
principles or practices, financial statement disclosures, or auditing scope or
procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of EY,
would have caused it to make reference thereto in its reports on the financial
statements of the Company for such years.
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, and through the
Dismissal Date, there were no "reportable events" as defined under Item
304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The Company provided EY with a copy of the disclosure it is making herein in
response to Item 304(a) of Regulation S-K and requested that EY furnish the
Company with a copy of their letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC") pursuant to Item 304(a)(3) of Regulation S-K, stating
whether EY agrees with the statements made by the Company in this Current Report
on Form 8-K in response to Item 304(a) of Regulation S-K.  A copy of EY's letter
to the SEC dated March 4, 2022 is attached as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current
Report on Form 8-K.

(b) Also on March 2, 2022, the Audit Committee, based on management's recommendation, approved the selection of KPMG LLP ("KPMG"), effective immediately, as the Company's new independent registered public accounting firm.

On March 3, 2022, KPMG completed their client acceptance procedures and officially accepted the engagement effective for the Company's fiscal year ending December 31, 2022. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, and through March 3, 2022, neither the Company, nor anyone on its behalf, consulted KPMG regarding either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the financial statements of the Company, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to the Company that KPMG concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing, or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was the subject of a "disagreement" (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) or a "reportable event" (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
