The Committee to Realize
Value for ORBCOMM Announces Withdrawal of Slate of Nominees for Election to ORBCOMM Board
May 4, 2009
NEW YORK., May 4/PRNewswire/
The Committee to Realize Value for ORBCOMM (the Committee) announced today
that it is withdrawing its slate of two director nominees for election to the Board of
Directors of ORBCOMM, Inc. (ORBCOMM or the Company) (Nasdaq: ORBC)
at the Companys 2009 annual meeting of stockholders on May 6, 2009.
The Committee thanks the
Companys stockholders for the support we have received to date, and remains
concerned about the Companys ability to generate subscriber growth and sufficient
cash flow to enable the launch of its second generation satellite constellation in a
timely fashion. However, in view of the reports issued by RiskMetrics Group and Glass
Lewis & Co., which acknowledge many of our concerns but recommend that stockholders
support the incumbent nominees, we believe it is in the best interests of all stockholders
for the Committee to withdraw its slate of nominees.
