Lockheed Martin also announced today that holders of old notes that validly tender their old notes after the early participation date and prior to the expiration of the exchange offer will also receive the same total exchange consideration (including the early participation payment) for the series of old notes tendered as will be received by holders of old notes that validly tendered the same series of old notes by the early participation date. Tenders submitted in the exchange offer after the early participation date of the exchange offer will be irrevocable except in the limited circumstances required by law (as determined by Lockheed Martin).

The exchange offer is only made, and copies of the offering documents will only be made available, to holders of the old notes who have certified to Lockheed Martin in an eligibility letter as to certain matters, including (1) their status as “qualified institutional buyers” as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or (2) outside the United States, their status as non-U.S. persons as defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act. The exchange offer is scheduled to expire at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, at the end of the day on Dec. 12, 2012, unless extended.

The new notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws. Therefore, the new notes may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws.
