Lockheed Martin Corporation is an American armaments and technology group that is primarily active in the military, civil aviation and aerospace industries. Nearly 80% of the $46 billion in revenue in 2014 was generated from purchases by the United States government.
Lockheed Martin Corporation was founded in March 1995 and is a merger of Lockheed Corporation and Martin Marietta Corporation. In 1996, Loral Corporation was bought for $9.1 billion. As a result of the merger and severe financial problems in the late 1990s, large parts of the group were sold to the British competitor BAE Systems. BAE Systems temporarily replaced Lockheed Martin as the largest armaments company in the world. After an extensive renovation, Lockheed Martin was able to claim this title again in 2004.

PART I ITEM 1. BUSINESS GENERAL Lockheed Martin Corporation ("Lockheed Martin" or the "Corporation") was incorporated in Maryland on August 29, 1994 to effect the combination (the "Combination") of the businesses of Martin Marietta Corporation and Lockheed Corporation. The Combination was consummated on March 15, 1995. Lockheed Martin is a highly diversified global enterprise principally engaged in the conception, research, design, development, manufacture and integration of advanced-technology products and services. LORAL TRANSACTION On April 23, 1996, in accordance with the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Loral Merger Agreement") with Loral Corporation ("Loral"), LAC Acquisition Corporation ("LAC"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lockheed Martin, purchased approximately 94.5% of the outstanding shares of common stock of Loral for an aggregate consideration of $38 per share. Immediately thereafter in accordance with the terms of the Loral Merger Agreement, LAC merged with and into Loral (the "Loral Merger"). In the Loral Merger, each remaining share of common stock of Loral not owned by LAC was converted into the right to receive $38, each outstanding share of common stock of LAC was converted into shares of common stock of Loral, and Loral changed its name to Lockheed Martin Tactical Systems, Inc. ("Tactical Systems"). As a result of
these transactions, Tactical Systems became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation. The Loral Merger Agreement contemplated a series of transactions that resulted in (i) the distribution, to stockholders of Loral immediately prior to the consummation of the Tender Offer, of shares of capital stock in Loral Space & Communications, Ltd. ("Loral SpaceCom"), a newly-formed Bermuda company, which now owns and manages substantially all of Loral's former space and satellite telecommunications interests, including Loral's direct and indirect interests in Globalstar, L.P. and Space Systems/Loral, Inc., and certain other assets of Loral, and (ii) the acquisition by the Corporation of Loral's defense electronics and systems integration businesses. In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loral Merger Agreement and the related agreements between the Corporation and Loral, the Corporation acquired shares of preferred stock of Loral SpaceCom that were convertible into approximately 20% of Loral SpaceCom's common stock on a fully diluted basis at the time acquired. The Corporation's ownership of the preferred stock of Loral SpaceCom is subject to certain limitations and restrictions set forth in the terms and conditions of the preferred stock and in agreements between the Corporation and Loral SpaceCom. BUSINESSES On January 25, 1996, Lockheed Martin entered into an Agreement and Plans of Merger and Complete Liquidation with certain of its direct and indirect wholly- owned subsidiaries. As a result, on - 2 -
January 28, 1996, each of Lockheed Corporation, Lockheed Missiles and Space Company, Inc., Lockheed Sanders, Inc., Martin Marietta Corporation and Martin Marietta Technologies, Inc. were merged with and into Lockheed Martin. In addition, following the Loral Merger, the Corporation consummated an internal reorganization of certain of its operating sectors to integrate the Tactical Systems' businesses acquired from Loral with the pre-existing businesses of the Corporation. On January 31, 1997, the Corporation entered into a memorandum of understanding (the "Memorandum of Understanding") with Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc. and a management team led by Frank C. Lanza, Executive Vice President of Lockheed Martin, and Robert V. LaPenta, Corporate Vice President of Lockheed Martin, pursuant to which Lockheed Martin agreed to establish Newco Corporation ("Newco") consisting of certain component- and product-oriented businesses of Lockheed Martin. Under the terms of the Memorandum of Understanding, Lehman Brothers Capital Partners III, L.P. would own 50.1%, the management team would own 15% and the Corporation would retain 34.9% of Newco. The closing of the transaction is subject to a number of conditions, including the execution of a definitive agreement on terms acceptable to the parties. In conjunction with the establishment of Newco, the Corporation again reorganized certain of its operating sectors and now conducts its principal business through five major operating sectors: Space & Strategic Missiles; Electronics; Information & Services (which includes the Corporation's interest in Newco); Aeronautics; and - 3 -
Energy & Environment. See "Business - Additional Activities and Business Segment Reporting" on page 10 through page 11. Space & Strategic Missiles Sector - --------------------------------- The Space & Strategic Missiles Sector's activities include the design, development, engineering and production of civil, commercial and military space systems, including: spacecraft, space launch vehicles, manned space systems and their supporting ground systems and services; telecommunications systems and services; strategic fleet ballistic missiles; and defensive missiles. Major programs of the Space & Strategic Missiles Sector include the Titan family of launch vehicles including the Titan IV expendable launch vehicle, the Trident II submarine launched fleet ballistic missile, the MILSTAR communications satellite, the Atlas expendable launch vehicle, the production of various government and commercial communications and environmental monitoring satellites, and the THAAD ground-based theater air defense system. During 1996, the Space & Strategic Missiles Sector assumed responsibility for the Corporation's manned space systems unit which manufactures the Space Shuttle external tank. The Space & Strategic Missiles Sector is also engaged in a substantial amount of classified activities. In 1996, the U.S. Air Force awarded the Corporation a contract to develop the next generation missile warning and tracking system called the Space-Based Infrared System (SBIRS). The purpose of the SBIRS program is to provide early detection of a ballistic missile - 4 -
attack world-wide. On December 20, 1996, Lockheed Martin was picked by the U.S. Air Force as one of two contractors that will proceed with producing designs for the Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle (EELV). The Air Force envisions that the EELV will replace existing Delta, Atlas and Titan space launch vehicles for use in launching government and commercial payloads. Net sales by the Sector represented approximately 29.4% of the Corporation's consolidated net sales in 1996. Net sales to the United States Government, excluding Foreign Military Sales, represented approximately 81% of the Sector's net sales in 1996. Electronics Sector - ------------------ The Electronics Sector's activities primarily relate to the design, development, engineering and production of high performance electronic systems for undersea, shipboard, land-based, airborne-and space-based applications. Major business elements include: Naval Systems; Missiles and Air Defense; Aerospace Systems & Electronics; and Commercial, Civil and Adjacent. The Naval Systems element serves the global market with major lines of business in surface ship and submarine combat systems, missile launching, anti-submarine warfare, and navigation systems. The Missiles and Air Defense element produces anti- armor missiles; indirect fire support weapons systems; smart munitions; and air defense systems. The Aerospace Systems and Electronics element includes system integration capabilities for both fixed wing and rotary wing aircraft; and major lines of electronics subsystems such as: aircraft controls systems; electronic warfare; electro-optic and - 5 -
night vision; radar; display; and computers for the military and commercial aerospace market. The Commercial, Civil, and Adjacent element lines of business include positions in growing niche markets such as telecommunications; commercial satellite electronics; mail handling automation systems; transportation; and electronics fabrication. The Corporation is the prime contractor for the U.S. Navy's AEGIS fleet air defense system, including the Vertical Launch System, and the U.S. Air Force's and Navy's LANTIRN targeting and navigation system, and for the development and production of EH-101 Merlin helicopters for the United Kingdom's Ministry of Defence. In addition, the Sector manufacturers and installs bar code readers and sorters for the U.S. Postal Service, produces the Target Acquisition Designation Sight/Pilot Night Vision Sensor (TADS/PNVS) and test hardware for the U.S. Army's PATRIOT Advanced Capability (PAC-3) missile. In 1997, the Sector anticipates that an increased percentage of its revenues will be derived from sales of the Multiple Launch Rocket System, the U.S. Army's general support fire power system. In 1996, the Corporation was chosen as one of two competitors for the first phase of the military's Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile (JASSM) development program. JASSM is a conventional standoff weapon that the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy envision replacing the Tri Service Standoff Attack Missile. In addition, the Electronics Sector was recently awarded contracts for the development of the combat system for the U.S. Navy's new attack submarine; the production of the SQQ-89 surface ship Antisubmarine Warfare Combat System; - 6 -
and the production of Tray Management Systems for the U.S. Postal Service. Effective January 1, 1997, the Corporation completed the divestiture of the assets of its Armament Systems and Defense Systems businesses to General Dynamics Corporation. Net sales by the Electronics Sector, including sales by Armament Systems and Defense Systems, represented approximately 24.9% of the Corporation's consolidated net sales in 1996. Net sales to the United States Government, excluding Foreign Military Sales, represented approximately 66.7% of the Sector's net sales in 1996. Information & Services Sector - ----------------------------- The Information & Services Sector is involved in the development, integration and operation of large, complex information systems; engineering, technical and management services for federal customers; transaction processing systems and services for state and local government agencies; commercial information technology outsourcing; manufacture and distribution of computer peripherals, graphics engines and intranet software; and the provision of internal information technology support to the Corporation. In 1996, NASA awarded the Space Flight Operations Contract to United Space Alliance (USA), a limited liability company owned by Lockheed Martin and The Boeing Company, making USA the single prime contractor for Space Shuttle operations. Through USA, the Sector performs processing services for NASA's space shuttle program. Through its Services Group, the Information & Services Sector provides a wide array of science and engineering, information - 7 -
management, operation and maintenance, logistics, assembly and test and installation services to governmental agencies and prime contractors. The Sector produces the Consolidated Automated Support System (CASS), including the U.S. Navy's AN/USM-636 CASS, a comprehensive test platform that provides general purpose analog and digital test capabilities. The Corporation's Access Graphics and certain other businesses, together with CalComp Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: CLCP), a majority-owned affiliate of Lockheed Martin, are involved in commercial markets for computer graphics, hardware distribution and data storage devices. The Sector is upgrading the U.S. National Air Traffic Control System through replacement of display systems at 20 FAA Control Centers and development of an advanced tower management system. Similar work is under way in the United Kingdom. In addition, the Sector performs a substantial amount of classified work. In 1996, Lockheed Martin and Intel signed an agreement to jointly develop a new chip that will give desktop computer users real-time, three-dimensional color graphics. The chips are based on Lockheed Martin military training and simulation technology. Net sales by the Information & Services Sector represented approximately 21.8% of Lockheed Martin's consolidated net sales in 1996. Net sales to the United States Government, excluding Foreign Military Sales, represented approximately 65.8% of the Sector's net sales in 1996. - 8 -
Aeronautics Sector - ------------------ The Aeronautics Sector is involved in the design, development, engineering and production of fighter, bomber, special mission, airlift, antisubmarine warfare, reconnaissance, surveillance and high performance aircraft; systems for military operations; aircraft controls and subsystems; thrust reversers; and aircraft modification and maintenance and logistics support for military and civilian customers. The Corporation is the prime contractor on the F-16 "Fighting Falcon" fighter aircraft, leads the team responsible for the Air Force's F-22 air superiority fighter program and provides the C-130 series airlift aircraft. In the commercial aircraft business the Sector manufactures thrust reversers for commercial jet engines. The Corporation is also involved in upgrading aircraft, including the U-2 and SR-71 reconnaissance aircraft, the F-117 fighter bomber and earlier model C-130s. Through the Skunk Works, the Aeronautics Sector performs a substantial amount of classified work. On July 2, 1996, the Corporation entered into a cooperative agreement with NASA to build and demonstrate the prototype X-33 single-stage-to-orbit reusable launch vehicle, the next generation of space shuttle. NASA's funding and the industry team investment provide approximately $1.0 billion for the X-33 project through 1999. On November 16, 1996, the Corporation was selected as one of two defense contractors to proceed to the concept demonstration phase of the government's Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) Program. Contract tasks include the design, development, construction and flight test of this full-scale demonstration aircraft. - 9 -
Net sales by the Aeronautics Sector represented approximately 20.8% of the Corporation's consolidated net sales in 1996. Net sales to the United States Government, excluding Foreign Military Sales, represented approximately 68.4% of the Sector's net sales in 1996. Energy & Environment Sector - --------------------------- The Energy & Environment Sector is responsible for the Corporation's energy and environmental remediation businesses, including the management of various U.S. Department of Energy (DoE) activities. The Corporation is the largest management and operations contractor within the DoE's system of laboratories and other facilities and manages, among other facilities, the Sandia National Laboratories, the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory and the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Net sales by the Sector represented less than 1% of the Corporation's consolidated net sales in 1996. Net sales to the United States Government represented approximately 85.1% of the Sector's net sales in 1996. Additional Activities and Business Segment Reporting - ---------------------------------------------------- In addition to the above activities, Lockheed Martin has real estate subsidiaries in Florida and Maryland, runs research laboratories and carries on other miscellaneous activities. In 1996, the Corporation completed its divestiture of Martin Marietta Materials, Inc. ("Materials") in an exchange offer (the "Exchange Offer") pursuant to which Lockheed Martin exchanged - 10 -
37,350,000 shares of Materials common stock for 7,913,136 shares of Lockheed Martin common stock. For business segment reporting in the Corporation's consolidated financial statements, the Space & Strategic Missiles, Electronics, Information & Services and Aeronautics Sectors each comprise reportable business segments. The Energy & Environment Sector, together with the additional activities described in the preceding paragraphs, are reported as Energy, Materials and Other and represents the balance of the Corporation's revenues. The Corporation's principal executive offices are located at 6801 Rockledge Drive, Bethesda, Maryland 20817. The telephone number of the Corporation is (301) 897-6000. COMPETITION AND RISK Lockheed Martin's sales to the U.S. Government, excluding Foreign Military Sales, amounted to approximately 69.6% of net sales for the year ended December 31, 1996. Approximately 12.3% of net sales for fiscal year 1996 were sales to foreign governments and approximately 18.0% of net sales were to commercial customers of which 5.4% were international customers. Lockheed Martin encounters extensive competition in all of its lines of business with numerous other contractors on the basis of price, technical and managerial capability. The on-going consolidation of the United States defense industry has intensified this competition as competitors are now generally larger and more capable. At the same time, the number of contracts awarded has decreased. In some instances, for example, the ongoing competition - 11 -
for the Joint Strike Fighter and the Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle, winning the competition may be a significant determinant of whether the competitors are able to remain in that line of business. More generally, the aerospace and defense business involves rapidly advancing technologies and is subject to many uncertainties including, but not limited to, those resulting from changes in federal budget priorities, particularly the size and scope of the defense budget, and dependence on Congressional appropriations. Substantial efforts are undertaken continually on a long-term basis in order to maintain existing levels of business. Approximately 70% of the 1996 sales of the Corporation were made to the United States Government, either as a prime contractor or as a subcontractor, for which there is intense competition. Accordingly, a significant portion of the Corporation's sales are subject to inherent risks, including uncertainty of economic conditions, changes in government policies and requirements that may reflect rapidly changing military and political developments and the availability of funds. Other characteristics of the industry are complexity of designs, the difficulty of forecasting costs and schedules when bidding on developmental and highly sophisticated technical work and the rapidity with which product lines become obsolete due to technological advances and other factors characteristic of the industry. Due to the intense competition for available government business, the maintenance and/or expansion of government business increasingly requires the Corporation to generate working capital and invest in fixed assets. - 12 -
Certain risks inherent in the current defense and aerospace business environment are discussed in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" on page 51 through page 63 of the Corporation's 1996 Annual Report to Shareholders (the "1996 Annual Report"). Earnings may vary materially depending upon the types of long-term government contracts undertaken, the costs incurred in their performance, the achievement of other performance objectives and the stage of performance at which the right to receive fees, particularly under incentive and award fee contracts, is finally determined. The Corporation's international business involves additional risks, such as exposure to currency fluctuations, offset obligations and changes in foreign economic and political environments. In addition, international transactions frequently involve increased financial and legal risks arising from stringent contractual terms and conditions and widely differing legal systems, customs and mores in foreign countries. The Corporation expects that international sales as a percentage of the overall sales of the Corporation will continue to increase in future years as a result of, among other things, the continuing changes in the United States defense industry. A portion of Lockheed Martin's business includes classified programs that cannot be specifically discussed, the operating results of which are included in the Corporation's consolidated financial statements. The nature of and business risks associated - 13 -
with classified programs do not differ materially from those of the Corporation's other government programs and products. PATENTS The Corporation owns numerous patents and patent applications, some of which, together with licenses under patents owned by others, are utilized in its operations. While such patents and licenses are, in the aggregate, important to the operation of the Corporation's business, no existing patent, license or other similar intellectual property right is of such importance that its loss or termination would, in the opinion of management, materially affect the Corporation's business. RAW MATERIALS AND SEASONALITY The Corporation has not experienced significant difficulties in its ability to obtain raw materials and other supplies needed in its manufacturing processes, nor does the Corporation expect such difficulties to arise in the future. No material portion of the business of the Corporation is considered to be seasonal. GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS AND REGULATIONS All government contracts and, in general, subcontracts thereunder are subject to termination in whole or in part at the convenience of the United States Government as well as for default. Long-term government contracts and related orders are subject to cancellation if appropriations for subsequent performance periods become unavailable. Lockheed Martin generally would be entitled to - 14 -
receive payment for work completed and allowable termination or cancellation costs if any of its government contracts were to be terminated for convenience. Upon termination for convenience of cost-reimbursement-type contracts, the contractor is normally entitled, to the extent of available funding, to reimbursement of allowable costs plus a portion of the fee related to work accomplished. Upon termination for convenience of fixed-price-type contracts, the contractor is normally entitled, to the extent of available funding, to receive the purchase price for delivered items, reimbursement for allowable costs for work in process, and an allowance for profit thereon or adjustment for loss if completion of performance would have resulted in a loss. In addition to the right of the United States Government to terminate, government contracts are conditioned upon the continuing availability of Congressional appropriations. Congress usually appropriates funds on a fiscal- year basis even though contract performance may extend over many years. Consequently, at the outset of a program, the contract is usually partially funded, and additional funds are normally only appropriated to the contract by Congress in future years. BACKLOG Lockheed Martin's total negotiated backlog at December 31, 1996, was approximately $50.4 billion compared with approximately $41.1 billion at the end of 1995. The total negotiated backlog of the Sectors at December 31, 1996 was as follows: Space & Strategic Missiles $19.5 billion, Electronics $10.9 billion, Information & - 15 -
Services, $6.4 billion and Aeronautics $13.4 billion. Unlike the other Sectors, the Energy & Environment Sector is not a reportable business segment. The reportable business segment of which Energy & Environment is part, Energy, Materials and Other, had total negotiated backlog at December 31, 1996 of approximately $167 million. Of this figure, almost all was attributable to the Energy & Environment Sector. These figures are all approximate and include both unfilled firm orders for the Corporation's products for which funding has been both authorized and appropriated by the customer (Congress, in the case of United States Government agencies) and firm orders for which funding has not been appropriated. Backlog information and comparisons thereof as of different dates may not be accurate indicators of future sales or the ratio of Lockheed Martin's future sales to the United States Government versus its sales to other customers. Of the Corporation's total 1996 year-end backlog, approximately $32 billion, or 63%, is not expected to be filled within one year. ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION Lockheed Martin's operations are subject to and affected by a variety of federal, state, and local environmental protection laws and regulations. The Corporation is involved in environmental responses at certain of its facilities and at certain waste disposal sites not currently owned by the Corporation (third-party sites) where the Corporation has been designated a "Potentially - 16 -
Responsible Party" (PRP) by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or by a state agency. At such third-party sites, the EPA or a state agency has identified the site as requiring removal or remedial action under the federal "Superfund" and other related federal or state laws governing the remediation of hazardous materials. Generally, PRPs that are ultimately determined to be "responsible parties" are strictly liable for site clean-ups and usually agree among themselves to share, on an allocated basis, in the costs and expenses for investigation and remediation of the hazardous materials. Under existing environmental laws, however, responsible parties are jointly and severally liable and, therefore, the Corporation is potentially liable for the full cost of funding such remediation. In the unlikely event that the Corporation were required to fund the entire cost of such remediation, the statutory framework provides that the Corporation may pursue rights of contribution from the other PRPs. At third-party sites, the Corporation continues to pursue a course of action designed to minimize and mitigate its potential liability through assessing the legal basis for its involvement, including an analysis of such factors as (i) the amount and nature of materials disposed of by the Corporation, (ii) the allocation process, if any, used to assign all costs to all involved parties, and (iii) the scope of the response action that is or may reasonably be required. The Corporation also continues to pursue active participation in steering committees, consent orders and other appropriate and available avenues. Management believes that - 17 -
this approach should minimize the Corporation's proportionate share of liability at third-party sites where other PRPs share liability. Although the Corporation's involvement and extent of responsibility varies at each site, management, after an assessment of each site and consultation with environmental experts and counsel, has concluded that the probability is remote that the Corporation's actual or potential liability as a PRP in each or all of these sites, in combination with the Corporation's actual or potential liability for environmental responses at its own facilities, will have a material adverse effect on the Corporation's consolidated financial position or results of operations. While the possibility of insurance coverage is considered in the Corporation's efforts to minimize and mitigate its potential liability, this possibility is not taken into account in management's assessment of whether it is likely that its actual or potential liability will have a material adverse effect on the Corporation's consolidated financial position. In addition, Lockheed Martin manages various government-owned facilities on behalf of the government. At such facilities, environmental compliance and remediation costs have historically been the responsibility of the government and the Corporation relied (and continues to rely with respect to past practices) upon government funding to pay such costs. While the government remains responsible for capital costs associated with environmental compliance, responsibility for fines and penalties associated with environmental noncompliance, in certain instances, is being shifted from the government to the contractor with such fines and penalties - 18 -
no longer constituting allowable costs under the contracts pursuant to which such facilities are managed. Management does not believe that adherence to presently applicable environmental regulations at its own facilities or in its contract management capacity at government-owned facilities will have a material adverse effect on Lockheed Martin's consolidated financial position or results of operations. For additional details, see "Legal Proceedings" on page 25 through page 30. See also "Note 14 -- Commitments and Contingencies" of the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" on page 80 through page 81 and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Environmental Matters" on page 62 through page 63 of the 1996 Annual Report. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT Lockheed Martin conducts significant research and development activities, both under contract funding and with Independent Research and Development (IR&D) funds. Lockheed Martin expended approximately $1,042 million in 1996, $778 million in 1995 and $813 million in 1994 using IR&D and bid and proposal funds, a substantial portion of which was included in overhead allocable to United States Government contracts. During fiscal year 1996, the Corporation did not undertake the development of a new product or line of business requiring the investment of a material amount of the Corporation's total assets. See "Research and Development and Similar Costs" in "Note 1--Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" of the "Notes to - 19 -
Consolidated Financial Statements" on page 71 of the 1996 Annual Report. EMPLOYEES As of December 31, 1996, Lockheed Martin had approximately 190,000 employees, the majority of whom were located in the United States. The Corporation has a continuing need for many skilled and professional personnel in order to meet contract schedules and obtain new and ongoing orders for its products. Approximately 33,300 of Lockheed Martin's employees are covered by 125 separate collective bargaining agreements with various international and local unions. Management considers employee relations generally to be good and believes that the probability is remote that renegotiating these contracts will have a material adverse effect on its business.

Meridian Test Range, TX 2,784 4. Orlando, FL 2,000 5. Littleton, CO (Deer Creek) 1,000 6. Palmdale Trust, CA 650 7. Austin, TX 600 </TABLE> A significant portion of the Corporation's activity is related to engineering and research and development, which is not susceptible to productive capacity analysis. In the area of manufacturing, most of the operations are of a job-order nature, rather than an assembly line process, and productive equipment has multiple uses for multiple products. Management believes that all of the Corporation's major physical facilities are in good condition and are adequate for their intended use. - 24 -
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS The Corporation is primarily engaged in providing products and services under contracts with the United States Government and, to a lesser degree, under direct foreign sales contracts, some of which are funded by the United States Government. All such contracts are subject to extensive legal and regulatory requirements and, from time to time, agencies of the United States Government investigate whether the Corporation's operations are being conducted in accordance with these requirements. Such investigations could result in administrative, civil or criminal liabilities, including repayments, fines or penalties being imposed upon the Corporation, or could lead to suspension or debarment from future government contracting. The Corporation is also a party to or has its property subject to various other litigation and proceedings, including matters arising under provisions relating to the protection of the environment (collectively, "proceedings"). On June 7, 1990, Boggs, et al. v. Divested Atomic Energy Corporation, et al., was filed against various defendants including Martin Marietta Energy Systems ("MMES"). Plaintiffs' request for class certification was granted and the case is pending in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Ohio. Plaintiffs seek $600 million based upon allegations that the defendants discharged hazardous substances into the environment. In the event that any damages are awarded in these proceedings, such damages will be allowable costs under contracts between MMES and the Department of Energy. - 25 -
The Corporation's property in Burbank, California (a former aircraft manufacturing facility) is the subject of a 1991 consent decree with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") which obligates the Corporation to design and construct facilities to monitor, extract and treat groundwater. As is common practice, at the time the Consent Decree was lodged, the EPA filed a suit with the United States District Court for the Central District of California in order to provide that Court with jurisdiction over the Consent Decree. The Corporation intends to file an Answer and Counterclaim in March, 1997 in the EPA's suit asserting indemnity/contribution claims against the government based upon the government's ownership and operation of the former aircraft manufacturing facility. The same facility is subject to a cleanup and abatement order from the California Regional Water Quality Board which requires site assessment and action to abate groundwater contamination through a combination of groundwater and soil cleanup and treatment. (See "Note 14 -Commitments and Contingencies" of the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" on page 80 through page 81 of the 1996 Annual Report). On August 1, 1996, the Corporation consummated a settlement with a group of 1,350 residents living in the vicinity of the facility. The settlement, valued at approximately $67 million, resolved, without litigation, claims of personal injury and property damage asserted by the residents and alleged to be related to environmental contamination stemming from historical operations of the former facility. The Corporation settled the matter for business reasons after a lengthy mediation, without any admission of liability, notwithstanding its continuing position that the - 26 -
facility does not and has not posed a risk to the community. As the result of publicity surrounding the settlement, the Corporation has been named in two purported federal class action suits and a series of state actions on behalf of over 800 individual residents and former residents of Burbank alleging similar claims of personal injury, property damage and fear of future illnesses. All of these matters have been removed to federal court in Los Angeles and have been proposed to be coordinated under the caption In re Burbank Environmental Litigation. The Corporation believes that it has strong defenses to these claims which it is preparing to assert. As with its remediation activities relating to environmental matters, the Corporation has tendered these matters to its insurance carriers who have provided a defense but are contesting coverage. Following the filing of the lawsuits against the Corporation in connection with its former Burbank facilities (In re Burbank Environmental Litigation), lawyers from Los Angeles have filed a similar action against the Company in connection with the Corporation's former operations in Redlands, California (Carrillo v. LMC). More lawsuits are expected in the Redlands area, but the Corporation believes the allegations of these actions to be without merit. As the result of the consummation of the Loral Transaction, subject to certain limited exceptions, the Corporation became responsible for liabilities arising out of legal and environmental proceedings pertaining to the Loral Corporation businesses acquired by the Corporation. On July 7, 1995, Loral Corporation was served - 27 -
with a subpoena issued by the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York seeking documents relating to a number of programs conducted at Loral Corporation's Defense Systems-East (Great Neck, New York) operations. These operations now form a part of the Corporation's Electronics Sector. The Corporation has been provided minimal information concerning the focus of the investigation, but it appears to arise from anonymous complaints provided to the United States Government by employees about testing and quality control matters. The Corporation is unaware of any such issues and is cooperating in the government's continuing investigation of this matter. By letter dated September 21, 1995, the Corporation informed the Department of Defense Inspector General's Office ("DoD IG") that the Corporation had become aware of certain potential accounting issues which the Corporation was investigating with respect to the LANTIRN program. On February 12, 1996, the Corporation was served with a DoD IG subpoena seeking documents related to the price proposal submitted in connection with a LANTIRN program contract awarded in 1994. On July 16, 1996, two qui tam complaints against the Corporation were unsealed in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida at Orlando. The complaints allege various cost accounting issues on LANTIRN program contracts and seek damages in the amount of $140 million. The government has not yet made a decision as to whether to intervene in the lawsuit and its investigation is continuing. On January 23, 1996, a DoD IG subpoena was served on Lockheed Martin Electronics & Missiles seeking documents relating to the - 28 -
software development portion of the Paperless LANTIRN Automated Depot ("PLAD") contract. It is believed that the government is investigating allegations that the Corporation's proposal for the PLAD contract was defectively priced. On January 23, 1996, Lockheed Martin Electronics & Missiles was served with a grand jury subpoena issued by the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida at Jacksonville seeking documents related to the manufacture and testing of two circuit card assemblies used in the production of the Hellfire I missile for the U.S. Army. On July 24, 1996, a second grand jury subpoena was served on the Corporation related to the same subject matter and the government's investigation of this matter is continuing. On June 25, 1996, Lockheed Martin Engineering & Science Services was served with a grand jury subpoena issued by the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas seeking documents related to two former employees of a predecessor company, Lockheed Engineering & Sciences Company (LESC), and apparently pertaining to an investigation of cost accounting issues in connection with NASA service and support contracts. On August 13, 1996, the Corporation was advised that the government's investigation of this matter is expected to continue. On November 27, 1996, Lockheed Martin Tactical Defense Systems - Great Neck was served with a grand jury subpoena issued by the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York seeking documents related to tax and financial reporting issues and - 29 -
the outsourcing of quality tasks contained in various contract proposals. The Corporation expects this investigation to continue. On January 23, 1997, Lockheed Martin Electro-Optical Systems was served with a grand jury subpoena issued by the United States District Court for the Central District of Los Angeles seeking documents relating to the accounting treatment of contract payments received from the government. The Corporation expects this investigation to continue. On February 6, 1997, three former employees of the Corporation were served with subpoenas ad testificandum issued by a federal grand jury in Jackson, Tennessee. The individuals were employees of the Corporation's Armament Systems business which was sold to General Dynamics Corporation effective January 1, 1997. Under the terms of the agreement with General Dynamics, the Corporation retained responsibility for investigations of this type. The Corporation expects this investigation to continue. The Corporation is involved in various other legal and environmental proceedings arising in the ordinary course of its business, but in the opinion of management and counsel the probability is remote that the outcome of any such litigation or proceedings, whether specifically described above or referred to generally in this paragraph, will have a material adverse effect on the results of the Corporation's operations or its financial position. - 30 -

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS The Corporation is negotiating a Transaction Agreement pursuant to which the Corporation anticipates repositioning certain non-core business units as a new independent company. The transaction contemplates the creation of a new company ("Newco") which will be 50.1% owned by Lehman Brothers Capital Partners III, L.P. or its affiliates, 34.9% by the Corporation, and 15% by a management team lead by Frank C. Lanza who, in addition to his services as a director of the Corporation, serves as one of its executive vice presidents. The Transaction Agreement is being negotiated on an arms-length basis. It is contemplated that Newco will pay the Corporation a total purchase price for the businesses (subject to adjustment in certain circumstances as will be provided in the Transaction Agreement) of $525 million, consisting of 6,980,000 shares of Newco Class A Common Stock and $479.835 million in cash. Mr. Lanza will be issued 1,500,000 shares of Class B Common Stock, or 7.5% of the equity securities of Newco, in return for cash consideration of $7.5 million. A second individual constituting a member of the proposed management team will also be issued 1,500,000 shares of Newco Class B Common stock in return for cash consideration of $7.5 million. The proposed transaction is subject to a number of conditions, including execution of a definitive agreement and regulatory approvals. The Corporation has entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Lanza. Under the agreement, during the three-year term of employment beginning on May 1, 1996, Mr. Lanza may, for good cause, give notice that he elects to terminate employment under the agreement. Upon receipt of such notice, or upon termination by the Corporation for other than substantial and serious cause, the agreement requires Lockheed Martin to pay Mr. Lanza a lump sum payment equal to the base salary and annual bonus that would have been paid during the remaining portion of the three-year term of the agreement had he continued to be employed through the full term. As of the date of the mailing of this Proxy Statement, the Corporation is negotiating with Mr. Lanza as to the effect of the proposed transaction under Mr. Lanza's employment agreement if that transaction closes. - 38 -
