EX-99.1 4 file003.htm PRESS RELEASE DATED JUNE 30, 2005

L-3 Communications Announces Cash Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation for the Titan Corporation's 8% Senior Subordinated Notes Due 2011

NEW YORK—(BUSINESS WIRE)—June 30, 2005—L-3 Communications (NYSE: LLL) announced today that it has commenced a cash tender offer for any and all outstanding $200,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the 8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2011 (the "Notes") of The Titan Corporation (NYSE: TTN) and a consent solicitation to amend the related indenture (the "Indenture"). The tender offer and consent solicitation are subject to the terms and conditions set forth in L-3's Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement dated June 30, 2005. The tender offer and consent solicitation will expire at 12:01 a.m., New York City time, on July 29, 2005, unless extended (the "Expiration Date").

Holders tendering their Notes will be required to consent to certain proposed amendments to the Notes and to the Indenture, which will release Titan's subsidiaries from their guarantees of Titan's obligations under the Notes and eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants and events of default and other related provisions from the Indenture. The tender offer and consent solicitation are conditioned on (1) the consummation of L-3's acquisition of all of Titan's outstanding shares of common stock and (2) the receipt of consents from the holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding, among other conditions. Holders may not tender their Notes without also delivering consents or deliver consents without also tendering their Notes.

The "Total Consideration" to be paid for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 14, 2005 (the "Consent Date") will be a price equal to (i) the present value (determined in accordance with standard market practice) on a date promptly following the Expiration Date (the "Payment Date"), of $1,040 per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes (the amount payable on May 15, 2007, the first date on which the Notes are redeemable), and all future interest payments payable up to May 15, 2007, determined on the basis of a yield to May 15, 2007 equal to the sum of (a) the yield on the 3.125% U.S. Treasury Note due May 15, 2007, as calculated by the Dealer Manager and Solicitation Agent in accordance with standard market practice, based on the bid price for such reference security as of 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the second business day immediately preceding the Expiration Date, as displayed on the Bloomberg Government Pricing Monitor on "Page PX4" or any recognized quotation source selected by the Dealer Manager and Solicitation Agent in their sole discretion, plus (b) 75 basis points, minus (ii) accrued and unpaid interest on such $1,000 principal amount to, but not including, the Payment Date. All holders whose Notes are accepted for purchase will also be paid accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the Payment Date.

A consent payment of $30.00 will be paid for each $1,000 in principal amount of the Notes to holders who validly tender their Notes and deliver their consents to the proposed Indenture amendments prior to the Consent Date (the "Consent Payment"). The Consent Payment is included in the Total Consideration. Holders who validly tender their Notes after the Consent Date but prior to the Expiration Date will be eligible to receive only the Tender Offer Consideration, which equals the Total Consideration less the Consent Payment. L-3 may amend, extend or terminate the tender offer and consent solicitation at any time.

Lehman Brothers Inc. is the Dealer Manager and Solicitation Agent for the tender offer and the consent solicitation. The depositary and information agent is Georgeson Shareholder.
