Based on the amount of old notes tendered in exchange for New Notes and in accordance with the terms of the exchange offer, the Company accepted, without proration, all of the Old Notes tendered and not withdrawn from Acceptance Priority Levels 1 through 3.
The exchange offer was effected pursuant to an offer to exchange commenced by the Company on July 31, 2006. Participation in the exchanges was limited to (1) holders who have certified certain matters to Lockheed Martin, including their status as “qualified institutional buyers” as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”), or (2) outside the United States, to holders of Old Notes who are non-U.S. persons in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. The New Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws.
The terms of the New Notes are governed by the Indenture, dated as of August 30, 2006, between the Company and The Bank of New York, as trustee (the “Trustee”) and represented by global notes executed by the Company and dated as of August 30, 2006. The Indenture, including the form of New Note, is filed as exhibit 99.1. The New Notes are the Company’s senior unsecured obligations and rank on a parity with all of the Company’s other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. The New Notes will mature on September 1, 2036. The New Notes will bear interest at a rate of 6.15% per annum and will be payable semi-annually in arrears on March 1 and September 1 of each year starting March 1, 2007. The Company may redeem all or any part of the New Notes at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the New Notes to be redeemed and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of interest on, the New Notes to be redeemed (not including any interest accrued as of the redemption date), discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis, assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months, at the treasury rate plus 20 basis points.

The New Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws. In connection with the Company’s issuance of the New Notes, the Company and the dealer managers entered into a registration rights agreement. Under that agreement, the Company agreed, among other things, to (i) file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission for an exchange offer in which the Company would offer to exchange the New Notes for substantially identical notes that would be registered under the Securities Act, and (ii) use its reasonable best efforts to cause the that registration statement to become effective. The Company also agreed that under certain circumstances it would file a shelf registration statement with the SEC covering resales by holders of the New Notes in lieu of the registered exchange offer.
The foregoing descriptions of the Indenture and the New Notes are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Indenture which is filed and incorporated by reference as an exhibit to this report.
