ORBCOMM Global, L.P. (ORBCOMM), the
first commercial provider of global low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellite data
communication services, today announced that, to align its operational
expenses with its revenue and funding sources, it has reduced its staff by
approximately 20 percent, affecting 112 ORBCOMM employees and contractors
across its organization. ORBCOMM believes this reduction in force will not
divert it from supporting its core competencies, including the maintenance and
operation of the ORBCOMM satellite constellation and the provision of ORBCOMM
services to a growing community of customers around the world.

Orbital Sciences Corporation, which designs, manufactures and launches
ORBCOMM’s satellites, is delaying production of future ORBCOMM satellites.
This revised production schedule will allow ORBCOMM to dedicate its capital to
the marketing, sales and installation of subscriber units for new and existing
customers. The procurement of additional satellites is neither time- nor
operationally critical at this time to the distribution of ORBCOMM service.

“ORBCOMM considered all alternatives to compress our financial
requirements and unfortunately concluded that a staff reduction was
necessary,” said Scott L. Webster, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of
ORBCOMM.
“ORBCOMM remains focused on ensuring the longevity and well-being of
its satellite network, and the ORBCOMM satellite constellation remains in full
operation. We have successfully built the world’s first commercial LEO
satellite network and see the enormous promise of global wireless data
communications.”
