Lockheed Martin also announced that the amount of outstanding old notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on November 28, 2012 satisfied the minimum condition of the exchange offer. A copy of the press release announcing early results of the exchange offer is filed as exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

The new notes have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (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.
