Loral Space &
Communications provided comments concerning today’s
announcement by Globalstar, L.P. that Globalstar has reached agreement
with several creditors to restructure its debt, has filed a voluntary
bankruptcy petition, and has initiated a new business model to broaden
its business opportunities and accelerate the acquisition of new
customers.

The Globalstar actions are expected to have no adverse impact on
Loral. Loral said it wrote off substantially all of its investment in
Globalstar-related activities a year ago — as of December 31, 2000 —
and therefore anticipates no adverse adjustments to Loral’s results of
operations or financial position.

“It took Globalstar longer than originally expected to
commercially roll out its service,” said Bernard L. Schwartz, chairman
and chief executive officer of Loral. “Moreover, changes in competing
technologies and overall economic conditions made it impossible for
Globalstar to raise the additional funds necessary to complete the
deployment of its service without a financial reorganization. We do
not expect this to have any adverse economic consequences for Loral.
As a creditor, Loral would become a partial owner of a `new
Globalstar’ to be created under its reorganization pl;Â:27′
