ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

To be Held on June 4, 2009

GENERAL INFORMATION

The Board of Directors (the “Board” or “Board of Directors”) of Global Crossing Limited, a Bermuda company (“GCL”, “we”, “us” or the “Company”), is soliciting your proxy for use at the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders to be held on June 4, 2009 (the “annual meeting”). These proxy materials are being mailed to shareholders beginning on or about April 14, 2009.

Our principal executive offices are located at Wessex House, 45 Reid Street, Hamilton HM12, Bermuda. Our telephone number is 441-296-8600. You may visit us at our website located at www.globalcrossing.com.

Important Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials

for the Shareholder Meeting to be held on June 4, 2009

Our Proxy Statement and Annual Report on Form 10-K are available at

http://www.edocumentview.com/glbc

The following proxy materials are available for you to review at http://www.edocumentview.com/glbc:

•      our 2009 Proxy Statement;

•      the proxy card;

•      our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008; and

•      any amendments to the foregoing materials that are required to be furnished to shareholders.

Date, Time and Place

We will hold the annual general meeting at Loews Regency Hotel, 540 Park Avenue (at 61st Street), New York, New York, on June 4, 2009 at 10:00 a.m., Eastern Daylight Time, subject to any adjournments or postponements.

Who Can Vote; Votes Per Share

Common and preferred shareholders of record at the close of business on April 6, 2009 are eligible to vote at the annual meeting. As of April 6, 2009, we had outstanding 58,015,406 common shares, par value U.S. $0.01 per share, and 18,000,000 shares of 2.0% Cumulative Senior Convertible Preferred Shares (the “Senior Preferred Shares”), par value U.S. $0.10 per share. As of April 6, 2009, all of the Senior Preferred Shares and 29,351,431 common shares were held by a subsidiary of Singapore Technologies Telemedia Pte Ltd (“ST Telemedia”), representing 62.3% of the shares eligible to vote at the Annual General Meeting. The Senior Preferred Shares are convertible into common shares on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances.

Under our bye-laws and the certificate of designations for the Senior Preferred Shares, each common share and each Senior Preferred Share currently entitles the holder to one vote on all matters entitled to be voted on by

1

holders of our common shares, with the Senior Preferred Shares and the common shares voting together as a single class. Each common share and each Senior Preferred Share will therefore be entitled to one vote on each proposal described in this proxy statement. Although the holders of the common shares and Senior Preferred Shares also have certain separate class voting rights under Bermuda law, no separate class vote will take place at the 2009 annual meeting.

Quorum and Voting Requirements

The presence in person or by proxy of at least two shareholders entitled to vote and holding shares representing more than 50 percent of the votes of all outstanding common shares and Senior Preferred Shares will constitute a quorum at the annual meeting. Abstentions and broker “non-votes” are counted for purposes of establishing a quorum. A broker “non-vote” occurs when a nominee (such as a broker) holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because the nominee does not have discretionary voting power for that particular matter and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner. Under applicable stock exchange rules, we believe that nominees will generally have discretionary voting power with respect to Proposals 1 and 2 set forth below.

Approval of each of the proposals set out below requires the affirmative vote of at least a simple majority of the votes cast. Abstentions and broker “non-votes,” if any, will not affect the voting results, although they will have the practical effect of reducing the number of affirmative votes required to achieve a majority by reducing the total number of shares from which the majority is calculated.

How to Vote

If your shares are held in the name of a bank, broker or other holder of record, you will receive instructions from the holder of record that you must follow in order for your shares to be voted. If you are the shareholder of record, you may either vote in person at the meeting or by proxy. Shareholders of record can appoint a proxy to vote their shares in any one of the three following ways: over the internet; by telephone; or by completing, signing, dating and returning a proxy card. All common shares represented by a proxy properly delivered by the shareholder of record and received by our transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company, N.A. (“Computershare”), (1) by 2:00 a.m., Eastern Daylight Time, on June 4, 2009, if you are appointing a proxy to vote over the internet or by telephone, or (2) by 5:00 pm., Eastern Daylight Time, on June 3, 2009, if you are appointing a proxy to vote by returning a proxy card, will be voted as specified in the proxy, unless validly revoked as described below. If you return a proxy card by mail and do not specify your vote, your shares will be voted as recommended by the Board of Directors.

As an alternative to appointing a proxy, a shareholder that is a corporation may appoint any person to act as its representative by delivering written evidence of that appointment, which must be received at our principal executive offices not later than one hour before the time fixed for the beginning of the meeting. A representative so appointed may exercise the same powers, including voting rights, as the appointing corporation could exercise if it were an individual shareholder.

The Board of Directors is not currently aware of any business that will be brought before the annual meeting other than the proposals described in this proxy statement. If, however, other matters are properly brought before the annual meeting or any adjournment or postponement of the meeting, the persons appointed as proxies will have, unless the terms of their appointment otherwise provide, discretionary authority to vote the shares represented by duly executed proxies in accordance with their discretion and judgment.

Revocation of Proxies

You may revoke your proxy or, in the case of a corporation, its authorization of a representative, before it is voted (1) by so notifying the Secretary of the Company in writing at the address of our principal executive offices not less than one hour before the time fixed for the beginning of the meeting; (2) by submitting a new

2

proxy via the internet or by telephone to Computershare by 2:00 a.m., Eastern Daylight Time, June 4, 2009; (3) by signing and dating a new and different proxy card and mailing it to Computershare such that it is received by Computershare by 5:00 p.m., Eastern Daylight Time, June 3, 2009; or (4) by voting your shares in person or by an appointed agent or representative at the meeting. You cannot revoke your proxy merely by attending the annual meeting.

Proxy Solicitation

We will bear the costs of soliciting proxies from the holders of our common shares. Proxies will initially be solicited by us by mail, but directors, officers and selected other employees of the Company may also solicit proxies by personal interview, telephone, facsimile or e-mail. Directors, executive officers and any other employees who solicit proxies will not be specially compensated for those services, but may be reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the solicitation. Brokerage houses, nominees, fiduciaries and other custodians will be requested to forward soliciting materials to beneficial owners and will be reimbursed for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in sending proxy materials to beneficial owners. We have engaged Georgeson, Inc. to assist us in coordinating the mailing of proxy materials at an estimated fee of $2,000 plus disbursements. Computershare has agreed to assist us in connection with the tabulation of proxies.

2008 Audited Financial Statements

Under our bye-laws and Bermuda law, audited financial statements must be presented to shareholders at an annual general meeting of shareholders. To fulfill this requirement, we will present at the annual meeting consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year 2008, which have been audited by Ernst & Young LLP. Those financial statements are included in our 2008 Annual Report to Shareholders (the “Annual Report”), a copy of which is being delivered, or is otherwise made available, together with this proxy statement. Representatives of Ernst & Young LLP are expected to attend the annual meeting and to respond to appropriate questions and will have the opportunity to make a statement should they so desire. No vote is required by shareholders with respect to our 2008 audited financial statements.

DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

Our bye-laws provide that ST Telemedia and any of its subsidiaries that are shareholders of the Company from time to time (the “STT Shareholder Group”) will be able to appoint up to eight (8) directors to our Board based upon the STT Shareholder Group’s percentage ownership of our shares at any given time. Specifically, for so long as the STT Shareholder Group owns both Global Crossing common shares and Senior Preferred Shares representing in the aggregate the percentages set forth below of our outstanding common shares calculated on a fully diluted basis, the STT Shareholder Group will be entitled to appoint the numbers of Directors indicated below to our Board, holding office at any one time, each for a term of three years (which can be renewed).

Percentage of Fully Diluted Common Shares	Number of Director Designees
50% or more	8
Less than 50% but at least 35%	6
Less than 35% but at least 20%	4
At least 5% (or, if less, 50% of the aggregate number of common shares (calculated on an as-converted basis) acquired by the STT Shareholder Group on December 9, 2003)	2

If the share ownership percentage of the STT Shareholder Group at any time falls below one of the thresholds specified above, then the term of office of the number of Directors that the STT Shareholder Group is no longer entitled to appoint shall terminate at the following meeting of Shareholders (whether annual or special).

In addition, for so long as the STT Shareholder Group is entitled to appoint at least two Directors, a Director designated by the STT Shareholder Group shall serve as (i) Chairman of the Board, (ii) Chairman of the Audit Committee (to the extent permitted by applicable stock exchange rules), (iii) Chairman of the Compensation Committee, (iv) Chairman of the Executive Committee and (v) Chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

In addition to the STT Shareholder Group’s Director designation rights above, the STT Shareholder Group may elect additional directors due to its holdings of 62.3% of the shares eligible to vote at the Annual General Meeting.

BOARD MEETINGS AND COMMITTEES

The Board and various Committees of the Board met numerous times during 2008. The Board held five meetings, one of which was telephonic and four of which were “in-person”. The Audit Committee met 16 times, with 13 telephonic and three “in-person” meetings. The Compensation Committee met eight times, with five telephonic and three “in-person” meetings. The Government Security Committee met five times, all of which were “in-person” meetings. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee held one telephonic meeting and the Executive Committee did not meet in 2008. All of our Directors attended at least 75% of the meetings of the Board and the Committees of which they are members.

We have adopted an ethics policy that applies to all of our Directors, officers (including the CEO and the CFO) and employees. The policy, together with the charters of our Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, Executive Committee and Government Security Committee, can be found on our website at www.globalcrossing.com, or can be mailed to shareholders upon written request to our Secretary at Wessex House, 45 Reid Street, Hamilton HM12, Bermuda. If a waiver of our ethics policy is granted to any of our Directors or executive officers, such waiver will be posted on our website within five days of that waiver being granted.

We expect and require all of our Directors to attend our annual meeting of shareholders. All of our Directors attended our 2008 annual shareholder meeting held on June 24, 2008.

Director Independence. In light of the STT Shareholder Group’s majority ownership of the voting power for the election of directors as set forth in this proxy statement under the caption “Security Ownership—Certain Beneficial Owners”, we are a “controlled company” as defined in the NASDAQ rules. As such, we are not required to comply with NASDAQ rules that require listed companies to have a majority of independent directors or nominating and compensation committees composed entirely of independent directors or to have written charters for certain committees addressing specified matters. At such time as we are no longer a “controlled company,” if ever, we will amend our committee charters, if necessary, and change the composition of our committees to ensure compliance with these NASDAQ requirements. As mentioned above, we do have charters for each of our committees, and the Board has determined that each of Messrs. Rescoe, Aldridge, Erkeneff and Macaluso satisfies the independence requirements of the NASDAQ rules.

The five standing committees of the Board are the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, the Executive Committee and the Government Security Committee. These committees are described in the following paragraphs.

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee consists of Messrs. Rescoe (chairman), Aldridge, Erkeneff and Macaluso, all of whom satisfy the independence and other qualification requirements of the NASDAQ rules. The Board has determined that Mr. Rescoe, the committee’s chairman, is an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in applicable Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) rules. The primary purpose of the Audit Committee is to assist the Board in fulfilling its responsibility for the integrity of the Company’s financial reports. To carry out this purpose, the Audit Committee oversees: (A) management’s conduct of the Company’s financial reporting process, including the integrity of the financial statements and other financial information provided by the Company to governmental and regulatory bodies, to shareholders and other security holders, or to other users of such information, (B) the Company’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements that may have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements, (C) the appointment, qualifications (including independence), compensation and performance of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and the quality of the annual independent audit of the Company’s financial statements, (D) the performance of the Company’s internal audit function and management’s establishment and application of the Company’s systems of internal accounting and financial controls and disclosure controls, and (E) the adequacy of

12

and adherence to (including any waivers granted to executive officers from adherence to) the Company’s code of business conduct and ethics, and such other matters as are incidental thereto. The Audit Committee also carries out other functions from time to time as assigned to it by the Board.

In carrying out its purpose, the goal of the Audit Committee is to serve as an independent and objective monitor of the Company’s financial reporting process and internal control systems, including the activities of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and internal audit function, and to provide an open avenue of communication with the Board for, and among, the independent registered public accounting firm, internal audit operations and financial and executive management.

Report of the Audit Committee

Management is responsible for the preparation of the Company’s financial statements and the independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for examining those statements. In connection with the preparation of the December 31, 2008 financial statements, the Audit Committee (1) reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements with management; (2) discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the matters required to be discussed under generally accepted auditing standards, including Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61 (as the same may be amended or supplemented); and (3) received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent registered public accounting firm required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding such firm’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and has discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the firm’s independence.

Based upon these reviews and discussions, the Audit Committee recommended, and the Board of Directors approved, that the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements be included in the annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, for filing with the Commission. The Audit Committee also selected Ernst & Young LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009, subject to the rights of the shareholders under Bermuda law to appoint the auditors at the annual meeting.

Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee consists of Messrs. Seah (chairman), Clemins, Lee and Sachs. The primary purpose of the Compensation Committee is to discharge certain responsibilities of the Board related to the compensation of the Company’s “key employees” (as defined by the committee) and related matters. In fulfilling this purpose, the Compensation Committee performs the following functions:

• Establishes the overall compensation philosophy and policies of the Company, subject to concurrence by the Board.

• Annually reviews peer company market data to assess the Company’s competitive position for each significant component of key employee compensation.

• Approves corporate goals and objectives relevant to compensation for all key employees other than the CEO and the executive vice presidents (“EVPs”), and recommends those goals and objectives for approval by the Board with respect to the CEO and the EVPs; provided that the Compensation Committee itself approves goals and objectives for awards intended to qualify for an exemption under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Performance-Based Executive Compensation”).

• Based on an evaluation of the key employees’ performance against those corporate goals and objectives, (i) approves the compensation level for each key employee other than the CEO and the EVPs and (ii) recommends to the Board the compensation level for the CEO and the EVPs; provided that the Compensation Committee itself determines all Performance-Based Executive Compensation.

• Administers awards and compensation programs and plans intended to qualify as Performance-Based Executive Compensation, including determining performance measures and goals; setting thresholds, targets, and maximum awards; reviewing performance compared to goals; and certifying goal attainment and approving incentive payments.

• Reviews the key employee compensation programs and equity-based compensation plans to determine whether they are properly coordinated and achieving their intended purposes and makes or recommends any appropriate modifications, including the establishment of new such programs.

• Grants awards of shares or share options pursuant to the Company’s equity-based plans.

The Compensation Committee may form and delegate any of its responsibilities to a subcommittee so long as such subcommittee is solely comprised of members of the Compensation Committee (provided that responsibilities in respect of the administration of the Company’s employee benefit plans may be delegated to a subcommittee including or consisting of management personnel) and includes a member who is also a member of the Security Committee, unless the issues addressed by such subcommittee in no respect address or affect the obligations of the Company under the NSA, in which case such subcommittee need not include a member who is also a member of the Security Committee.

We review annually the overall compensation philosophy and policies for executive officers. Management assists the Compensation Committee in their oversight of the compensation of the key employees. The CEO works with the Human Resources Department and Hewitt Associates, the outside compensation advisor of the Compensation Committee, to make recommendations on each key employee’s compensation (excluding his own). The Compensation Committee has sole authority to retain or terminate the outside advisor to assist with compensation matters. The Compensation Committee’s instructions to Hewitt included the following:

• Provide competitive market data as a reference for the Committee to consider executive compensation actions;

• Advise the Compensation Committee on executive compensation matters that align with long-term business strategies and shareholder interests;

• Apprise the Compensation Committee of trends and best practices associated with executive compensation; and

14

• Attend Compensation Committee meetings as scheduled throughout the year, as the Compensation Committee deems appropriate.

In 2008, Hewitt participated in all scheduled Compensation Committee meetings, provided reports on competitive market compensation information, provided comment on considered compensation actions, and assisted in the design of various program enhancements.

After reviewing the recommendations made to the Compensation Committee and consulting with the outside advisor, the Committee makes its final recommendations to the Board regarding compensation of all executive vice presidents and the CEO.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

The following discussion and analysis should be read together with the corresponding compensation tables.

Executive Summary

Overview

The Company considers compensation programs holistically when establishing target total executive compensation levels based on competitive market data. These programs are designed to attract, motivate and retain our executives. We believe that total compensation should vary with our performance in achieving financial goals and should be closely aligned with our shareholders’ interests.

We review annually the overall compensation philosophy and policies for executive officers. Management assists the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors in their oversight of the compensation of the Named Executive Officers (the “NEOs” or the “Named Executive Officers”) listed in the Summary Compensation Table below. The CEO works with the Human Resources Department and an outside compensation advisor engaged by the Committee to make recommendations on each NEO’s compensation (excluding his own). After reviewing these recommendations and consulting with the outside advisor, the Committee makes its final recommendations to the Board regarding compensation of all NEOs, including the CEO.

Compensation Philosophy

The Company’s compensation philosophy for NEOs is intended to link the compensation of such officers to measures of Company performance that contribute to increased value for Global Crossing’s shareholders. This philosophy applies to all Global Crossing employees, with a more significant level of compensation at risk as an employee’s level of responsibility increases. The philosophy takes into account the following goals:

• Enhancing shareholder value

• Motivating NEOs to achieve a high level of corporate results

• Linking incentive-based compensation to performance, as measured by corporate financial goals

• Enabling the Company to attract and retain top quality management

The Company ties incentive compensation to a group of key performance indicators which are reviewed by the Board at least quarterly. The performance indicators for the 2008 short-term incentive program involved cash use, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and quarterly surveys of customer satisfaction. The performance indicator for the 2008 long-term incentive program was based on relative total shareholder return. The Company deemed these objectives to be appropriate measures of performance for 2008 given the stage of the Company’s development. For 2009, the Company continues to use similar performance measures, except that the Company has ceased using customer satisfaction survey results and has instead placed greater emphasis on its cash flow-related measure in light of the critical importance of cash performance in the current macroeconomic environment.

In 2008 the Company achieved important financial and operating results, while shareholder value decreased substantially. Our NEOs received bonuses consistent with the achievement and experienced significant reductions in the value of their shareholdings consistent with the reductions experienced by the Company’s shareholders generally. Our program will continue to deliver this balanced performance orientation. We will recognize the Company’s near-term progress and long-term results through the total compensation program described in the following pages.

20

The Company does not have a formal policy regarding the adjustment or recovery of awards or payments if the relevant performance measures upon which they are based are restated or otherwise adjusted in a manner that would reduce their size. However, pursuant to section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, if the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to the material noncompliance, as a result of misconduct, with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws, the CEO and CFO must reimburse the Company for any incentive-based compensation received during the 12-month period following the issuance of the noncompliant financial statements, including any profits realized from the sale of the Company’s securities.

In March 2009, the Committee and the Board developed “Compensation Principles” to provide Company management with general guidelines regarding incentive compensation programs and the anticipated use of cash and stock in such programs. These guidelines convey the Board’s present intention that: (a) the funding of cash compensation programs will be limited to cash generated from the Company’s own business operations; (b) authorization for additional shares under the stock incentive plan will not be sought in the foreseeable future; and (c) the annual bonus program will be designed in a manner intended to reserve absolute discretion to the Board.

Benchmarking

The Committee’s outside compensation advisor provides current competitive benchmarking information from companies in the telecommunications industry and in technology services. The benchmarking assessment used for 2008 compensation actions included eleven telecommunications and twelve service industry comparators of similar size.¹ A regression analysis is performed to adjust the market data to reflect expected market practice at companies with a similar revenue base as ours. We target both total cash and total direct compensation at the 50th percentile of the benchmark group, which we believe is appropriate for our Company given its financial profile, growth prospects and competitive positioning.

From time to time we also benchmark other aspects of compensation, including benefit or perquisite program features or common practices in employment agreements and executive severance plans. In addition to external information, we review internal information intended to gauge pay equity among our executives and between our executives and our non-executive employees.

We periodically review executive compensation tally sheets with the Compensation Committee. These reviews measure a current snapshot of total annual compensation rates, accumulated stock ownership (both vested and unvested) and the Company’s liabilities associated with various termination events for each NEO. While these are not used directly to determine compensation, they are reviewed to monitor compensation programs and understand the impact of actions.

In total, we believe, based on a review of internal and external compensation and performance information, that our programs and compensation offered and paid to our NEOs are appropriate to meet our compensation philosophy and objectives, and are aligned appropriately with shareholder interests.

Service Industry Comparators: Acxiom Corporation, ADP Inc., Brightpoint, Inc., DST Systems Inc., Equifax Inc., Fiserv Inc., Global Payments Inc., IHS, Inc., Imation Corporation, NCR Corporation, The Thomson Corporation and Unisys Corporation. The Committee will continue to look both within the telecommunications industry and across broader industry segments to assess external benchmarks for executive compensation.

Executive Compensation Component Summary

Each component of NEO compensation emphasizes a different aspect of the Company’s compensation philosophy. The major components of compensation for NEOs are base salary, short-term performance-based incentives in the form of annual bonuses, long-term incentives in the form of equity grants, and certain financial security benefits. Each of the major components of 2008 NEO compensation is described in more detail below.

Component	Purpose	Philosophy Statement
Base Salary	•     Pay for expertise and experience •     Attract and retain	•     Targeted at 50th percentile of peer group •     Reflective of individual experience and expertise
Short-Term Incentive	•     Motivate strong financial performance •     Provide annual recognition of performance	•     Targeted at 50th percentile of peer group •     Goals aligned with annual strategic objectives of the Company
Long-Term Incentive	•     Align NEOs with shareholders •     Promote retention •     Reward financial performance against goals	•     Aligns with business strategy and performance •     Level of grant based on peer group, historical grants, internal position
Retirement and Health/Welfare Benefits	•     Assist in achieving financial security •     Help ensure welfare safety net	•     Programs consistent, regardless of level, across the organization
Severance Protection	•     Protect NEOs in case of job loss •     Match competitive practices to attract and retain employees	•     Benefit levels based on peer group practices

Base Salary

The Company sets initial base salaries for NEOs based on recruiting requirements (i.e., market demand), competitive pay practices, individual experience and breadth of knowledge, internal parity considerations, and historical salaries for these executives. Any adjustments in base salary for existing NEOs are raised by management for consideration by the Committee (except for the CEO, in whose case the Committee works independently with its outside advisor). Increases are determined by the Committee, subject to approval by the Board of Directors, based on the annual evaluation of competitive data and a subjective assessment of the individual’s performance, contribution to the Company and potential within the organization, and internal parity considerations.

2008 Salary Increases:

	Previous Annual Salary		Increase $		New Annual Salary		Rationale
Daniel J. Enright	$	350,000	$	50,000	$	400,000	To recognize large scope of role.
Jean F.H.P Mandeville*	$	467,500	$	32,500	$	500,000	Increased attention on operational finance objectives.

* Mr. Mandeville served as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer through September 30, 2008.

Short-Term Performance-Based Incentive

The annual bonus program is designed to incentivize NEOs to work towards the common goals of the Company. NEOs are rewarded for their contributions if Global Crossing attains key financial objectives as described below. The Committee determines target bonus opportunities for NEOs based on the results of external benchmarking and the individual’s level of responsibility and expected influence on corporate results. Target annual bonuses for NEOs are presented to the Board of Directors with the Committee’s recommendation. The Committee, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to modify or terminate this program in its entirety without prior written notice to or consent of the NEOs, subject to applicable local labor laws.

The Committee approves target bonus levels and quantitative financial performance measures on an annual basis. The target annual bonus opportunities established for the NEOs for 2008 were as follows, expressed as a percentage of salary received during the course of the year:

	2008 Target Annual Bonus Opportunity
John J. Legere*	100	%
Jean F.H.P Mandeville	65	%
John Kritzmacher	65	%
David R. Carey	65	%
Daniel J. Enright	65	%
John B. McShane	65	%

* Mr. Legere’s target annual bonus opportunity is fixed by the terms of his employment agreement.

To determine a NEO’s 2008 bonus payment, the NEO’s 2008 salary was multiplied by the applicable target bonus opportunity referenced above and by a performance factor that could have ranged from 0% to 140% based on the Company’s financial performance against goals.

The quantitative financial performance measures for the 2008 bonus program were designed to reward attainment of targets for cash EBITDA (70% of the target opportunity), cash use (20% of the target opportunity) and Customer Satisfaction Survey (CSAT) (10% of the target opportunity). Cash EBITDA refers to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, other income/ (expense), net gain on pre-confirmation contingencies, preferred stock dividends and non-cash stock compensation. We assume incentive compensation expense at targeted levels in the calculation of adjusted EBITDA for incentive compensation purposes. Cash flow is measured by the net change in our cash and cash equivalents balance over the course of the year, excluding cash used for any M&A and financing activity not assumed in the original budget.

23

The following table sets forth the financial performance measures for the 2008 bonus program, the range of possible payouts, and the actual payout percentage based on the performance achieved.

Performance Metric	Weight		Threshold		Target		Maximum		2008 Performance		Level of Payout
Payout %				40%		100%		140%
Cash EBITDA	70	%	$	320.0 million	$	350.0 million	$	380.0 million	$	329.5 million	59	%
Cash Flow/(Use)	20	%	$	(85.0) million	$	(60.0) million	$	(35.0) million	$	(37.2) million	136.5	%
CSAT	10	%		53% - 62%		63% - 73%		74%		66%	100	%
Total	100	%		N/A		N/A		N/A		N/A	78.6	%

While both cash EBITDA and cash use are considered key performance measures for the Company, a greater emphasis on cash EBITDA was deemed appropriate for the 2008 program design. A customer-related objective was added to the 2008 plan to reinforce the strategic imperative of focusing on the customer experience. Using our Customer Satisfaction Survey (CSAT), this objective is based on the percentage of “very satisfied” customers as measured using the average results of the quarterly surveys taken over the course of the plan year. Bonus payments were made in stock instead of cash (except in the case of Mr. Legere, who received half of his bonus payment in cash and half in common shares pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement) to preserve cash and to help encourage stock ownership, although participants are not required to hold the shares received for any particular time period. Actual 2008 performance resulted in an overall bonus payout of 78.6% of target, as indicated in the Summary Compensation Table.

Long-Term Incentive Compensation: Equity Grants

While bonuses are paid for prior year accomplishments, the Company believes equity grants properly align NEOs with shareholder interests. The Committee awards equity grants in its discretion based on an annual evaluation of competitive market data, individual performance, level of responsibility, long-term incentive grants made in prior years and the anticipated contribution that the executive officer will make to Global Crossing. The Committee generally makes annual grants at a meeting that is scheduled well in advance as part of the Committee’s annual calendar. Grants are made under the 2003 Global Crossing Limited Stock Incentive Plan and provide for vesting of all awards upon a “change in control” as defined in the plan. Such “single trigger” vesting is deemed appropriate in light of competitive pay practices and the desire to ensure the engagement of management both before and during an impending corporate transaction.

We have no minimum stock ownership guidelines, but believe our long-term incentive program helps align our executives’ interests with the interests of our shareholders. Based on the share price as of December 31, 2008, as of this date each NEO had holdings of common shares and restricted stock units together valued at between 1.0 and 2.8 times the executive’s annual salary.

The Company focuses on the following strategies in delivering long-term incentive compensation:

• Tie a meaningful portion of incentive compensation to stock ownership and relative stock price performance among peers

• Ensure a strong alignment with our business strategy

• Conserve share usage and limit dilutive impact by the use of restricted stock units instead of stock options

• Differentiate where necessary based on individual performance and potential

• Retain executives through the establishment of meaningful forfeitable balances

In an effort to retain executives while holding them accountable for corporate performance, NEOs received their 2008 grants in the form of restricted stock units, approximately one third of which vest on March 10, 2011

24

solely based on the continued employment of the executive through that date and approximately two thirds of which vest on December 31, 2010 based on a total shareholder return (TSR) measure. This TSR measure compares Global Crossing’s ranking in total shareholder return to companies in the following industry- and size-specific peer groups:

• NASDAQ Telecommunications Index Companies

• S&P 600 Small Cap Companies

The range of payout for the 2008-2010 performance-based shares is 0% to 200% of the original award amount based on the Company’s percentile TSR ranking among the two peer groups. For Global Crossing and for each company in each peer group, TSR over the three years is calculated by comparing the average stock price in the last month of the performance period to the average stock price in the month immediately prior to the start of the performance period. The calculation also includes dividends paid during the performance period. The table below describes how the Company’s percentile ranking among peers translates into a payout percentage of the original target shares awarded. The ranking and payout percent is calculated separately for each peer group, and the two results are averaged to determine the actual percentage earned.

Global Crossing’s Three-Year TSR Percentile Ranking Among Peers	Percent of Original Target Award Paid
Below 30th	0	%
30th to 39th	60	%
40th to 49th	80	%
50th to 59%	100	%
60th to 69th	120	%
70th to 79th	160	%
80th or above	200	%

We first introduced performance-based grants into our equity program beginning with the 2005 grant. Grants made through 2007 included two-year performance goals tied to one or more financial metrics followed by a one-year “hold” period for any shares earned from the performance period.

The performance period for the 2007-2008 performance based shares concluded on December 31, 2008. The following table sets forth the financial performance measures for the 2007-2008 performance based shares and the actual percentage of shares that carried over into the 2009 hold period based on the performance achieved. We achieved above threshold performance for adjusted EBITDA, below threshold for Cash Use, and target performance for Invest and Grow gross margin under the program. A total of 32.4% of the 2007-2008 performance-based shares carried over into the 2009 hold period.

Performance Metric	Weight	Threshold		Target		Maximum		2007-2008 Performance		Percent Carried Over to Hold Period
Payout %			50%		100%		150%
Adjusted EBITDA	40%	$	343.0 million	$	400.0 million	$	475.0 million	$	349.9 million	56.1%
Cash Flow/(Cash Use)	40%	$	(124.0) million	$	(79.0) million	$	(14.0) million	$	(222.9) million	0%
Invest & Grow Gross Margin	20%	$	2,380.0 million	$	2,437.0 million	$	2,512.0 million	$	2,380.0 million	50.0%
Total	100%		N/A		N/A		N/A		N/A	32.4%

Severance Protection

We offer the Key Management Protection Plan (“KMPP”), an enhanced severance plan, to help attract key talent and retain leaders by mitigating their concerns about financial hardship in the event of termination. All

25

NEOs participate in the plan, except Mr. Legere, whose severance arrangements are governed by his August 15, 2006 employment agreement, as amended. We view the KMPP and Mr. Legere’s termination arrangements as reasonable and in line with competitive practice. The estimated liabilities for various termination scenarios are outlined below under “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change of Control”.

Benefits & Perquisites

We offer our NEOs the same health and welfare benefit, disability and insurance plans as we offer all employees. Our retirement program includes a qualified defined contribution plan (the Employees Retirement Savings Plan, or ERSP), which permits all U.S. based employees to make tax qualified contributions of up to 25% of eligible pay, with the Company matching 100% of the first 1% contributed and 50% of the next 5% contributed. Effective March 1, 2009 the Company match will be suspended. The Company also maintains the Supplemental Retirement Savings Plan (SRSP), an unfunded, nonqualified deferred compensation plan that allows employees whose contributions to the ERSP are effectively limited to less than 25% of eligible pay (due to dollar limits imposed by the Internal Revenue Service) to defer up to 16%, but with no Company matching contribution. The Company maintains no other nonqualified retirement or deferred compensation programs and offers limited additional executive perquisites. We view this relatively limited set of benefits and perquisites as appropriate relative to the Company’s current financial situation and its path to sustained profitability.

Tax and Accounting Considerations

Section 162(m) limits the U.S. federal income tax deductibility of non-“performance-based” compensation payments in excess of $1 million paid to a NEO in any one year. We intend to administer compensation plans in compliance with the provisions of Section 162(m) where feasible and where consistent with Global Crossing’s compensation philosophy. Since we currently operate at a loss for U.S. corporate income tax purposes, compliance with Section 162(m) increases our net operating loss carry-forwards rather than reduces current income taxation.

Report of the Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee of the Company has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis required by Item 402(b) of Commission Regulation S-K with management and, based on such review and discussions, the Compensation Committee recommended to the Board that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in the annual report on Form 10-K and this Proxy Statement.

(1) Mr. Kritzmacher became CFO of the Company on October 1, 2008.

(2) The amounts shown for 2007 are the cash portion of a special retention and motivation award granted on March 13, 2007. The stock portion of the retention and motivation award is included in column (e).

(3) Column (e) includes the amounts recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for 2008, 2007 and 2006 in respect of restricted stock units (including the stock portion of the aforementioned 2007 retention and motivation awards) awarded to each of the Named Executive Officers, as determined pursuant to SFAS No. 123(R), but modified to eliminate any reduction in the grant date fair value of the awards for the possibility of service-based forfeiture. The amounts shown for each year represent amounts recognized in respect of awards granted in that year and in prior years that were outstanding in that year. The amount shown in column (e) for 2008 with respect to Mr. Mandeville includes the impact of the reversal of stock compensation expense related to stock awards that was reported as stock compensation expense in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for 2007 (and therefore was included in the Summary Compensation Table in the Company’s 2008 Proxy Statement) and was subsequently reversed in 2008 due to the cancellation of such stock awards in connection with the termination of his employment. Such reversal is included as a credit in the amount of $313,959. The amounts shown for 2006 do not include the impact of the reversal of stock compensation expense related to the Performance-Based RSUs that was reported as a stock compensation expense in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for 2005 and was subsequently reversed in 2006 due to the Company’s failure to meet performance thresholds. Such reversals were in the amount of $638,804, $198,660, $169,713, $161,979 and $140,721 for Messrs. Legere, Mandeville, Carey, Enright and McShane, respectively.

27

Column (e) also encompasses unrestricted common shares of the Company awarded to the Named Executive Officers under the annual bonus program, which is discussed in further detail on page 23 under the heading “Short-Term Performance-Based Incentive”. The payout under the 2008 bonus program was 78.6% of annual bonus target, and the payout under the 2007 bonus program was 26.9% of annual bonus target. Pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement, Mr. Legere received half of his bonus payout in cash (which is reflected in column (g)) and half in common shares. The other Named Executive Officers received their 2007 and 2008 bonus payouts exclusively in common shares, the 2008 accrual of which is included in column (e). For 2006, the Company did not meet the performance measures stated in the program; therefore no payouts were made to the Named Executive Officers under the 2006 annual bonus program.

Except as noted above in this footnote, the fair value of the stock awards was determined using the valuation methodology and assumptions set forth in footnotes 2 and 18 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.

(4) The amounts shown in column (f) are the amounts recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for 2008, 2007 and 2006 in respect of non-qualified stock options awarded to each of the Named Executive Officers, as determined pursuant to SFAS No. 123(R), but modified to eliminate any reduction in the grant date fair value of the awards for the possibility of service-based forfeiture. As no stock options were granted to the Named Executive Officers during 2008, 2007 or 2006, the amounts shown for each year represent amounts recognized in respect of awards granted in prior years that were outstanding in that year. Except as noted in this footnote, the fair value of the awards was determined using the valuation methodology and assumptions set forth in footnotes 2 and 18 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.

(5) As indicated in note (2) above, column (g) reflects the payment of one-half of Mr. Legere’s 2008 and 2007 annual bonus in cash.

(6) Of the Named Executive Officers, only Mr. Enright participates in any non-qualified deferred compensation plan or pension plan. The amounts shown in column (h) for Mr. Enright represent the change in the actuarial present value of his accumulated benefit under the New Global Crossing Frozen Pension Plan. Information regarding our calculations of pension values is set forth in footnote 19 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.

(7) The amounts shown in column (i) for 2008 include, among other things, the following:

• Mr. Legere: Tax gross-up payment of $2,852; and

• Mr. Mandeville: Cash bonus payment of $55,000, payment for unused vacation days of $21,154, and payment of $189,444 in unrestricted shares of the Company’s common stock, which was equal to 75% of the 2008 annual bonus that he would have been entitled to receive had his employment continued through the payment date. All such payments were made in connection with the termination of his employment.

(1) The amounts shown for the Award Type “Annual Bonus” in columns (c) through (h) reflect payment ranges under the Company’s 2008 Annual Bonus program, which is discussed in further detail on page 23 under the heading “Short-Term Performance-Based Incentive.” Generally, any payout of the Annual Bonus Program is made in Global Crossing common shares with immediate vesting; except that, pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement, Mr. Legere receives half of his payout in cash and half in common shares. Column (c) reflects 40% of the target annual bonus cash payout amount shown in column (d) and assumes the Company achieves the threshold level of each performance measure under the plan. Column (e) is 140% of such target cash amount and assumes the Company achieves the maximum level of each performance measure under the plan. Similarly, column (f) reflects 40% of the target annual bonus common shares payout amount shown in column (g), and column (h) is 140% of such target shares amount. For 2008, the Company achieved the threshold level of one performance measure and the target levels of the other two performance measures, and the aggregate payout under the Annual Bonus program was 78.6% of target amount. The aggregate payouts for Messrs. Legere, Kritzmacher, Carey, Enright and McShane were $864,600, $252,896, $217,133, $199,963 and $201,806, respectively. In connection with the termination of his employment, Mr. Mandeville received a payment of $189,444 in unrestricted shares of the Company’s common stock, which was equal to 75% of the 2008 annual bonus that he would have been entitled to receive had his employment continued through the payment date. The 2008 Annual Bonus program was established by the Board on March 4, 2008. The number of common shares to be paid out was determined by the average closing stock price of the Company’s common stock on the NASDAQ Global Select Market for the thirty consecutive days preceding February 5, 2009.

(2) The amounts shown for the Award Type “RSU (Performance)” in columns (f) through (h) reflect 2008 Performance-Based RSU grants under the Long-Term Incentive program. The Performance-Based RSUs granted on March 4, 2008 (and, in the case of Mr. Kritzmacher, the Performance-Based RSUs granted on October 1, 2008) will vest on December 31, 2010 based on total shareholder return for the combined 2008, 2009 and 2010 fiscal years, which is discussed in further detail on page 24 under the heading “Long-Term Incentive Compensation: Equity Grants”. Column (f) reflects the minimum payout, which is 60% of the target amount shown in column (g). The amount shown in column (h) is 200% of such target amount. The Performance-Based RSU Award granted to Mr. Mandeville was canceled upon the termination of his employment.

(3) The amounts shown for the Award Type “RSU (Time)” in column (i) reflect 2008 Time-Based RSU grants under the Long-Term Incentive program. The Time-Based RSUs granted on March 4, 2008 will vest on March 4, 2011 solely based on the continued employment of the executive through that date, which is discussed in further detail on page 24 under the heading “Long-Term Incentive Compensation: Equity Grants”. The grant of 20,000 Time-Based RSUs to Mr. Kritzmacher on October 1, 2008 will vest on March 4, 2011, and the special one-time grant of 8,000 Time-Based RSUs to him on the same date will vest on October 1, 2009, in each case solely based on his continued employment through the vesting date. The Time-Based RSU Award granted to Mr. Mandeville was canceled upon the termination of his employment.

(4) The amounts shown in column (l) are generally the amounts that would be recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements over the applicable service period for the awards, but modified to eliminate any reduction in the grant date fair value of the awards for the possibility of service-based forfeiture.

(1) Mr. Enright’s number of years credited service is 9.75, which was his number of years of service with the Company when the plan was frozen in 1996.

(2) For a discussion of the valuation method and actuarial assumptions used, see footnote 19 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.

Global Crossing does not have any current active defined benefit plans, although Global Crossing North America, Inc., a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of the Company, continues to sponsor a frozen pension plan

31

(The New Global Crossing Frozen Pension Plan) for the benefit of employees who previously participated in such plans. Of the Named Executive Officers, only Mr. Enright participates in this plan. Eligibility for pension payments is based upon the participant’s age and the number of years worked for the Company (based on a minimum of 1,000 hours of employment per year), with all calculations based upon compensation levels at the time pension plans were frozen in 1996. Once the employee begins to receive pension payments, the monthly amount does not change. A full pension will be paid for participating employees who elect to start receiving their pension payments at age 65. In the case of Mr. Enright, his monthly pension benefit would be $1,505 if his pension payments were to start at age 65. Alternatively, employees who satisfy certain criteria regarding age and years of service may receive an early pension. Specifically, employees may start receiving early pension benefits (a) when they are at least 47 years old if they have completed at least 22 years of service with the Company; (b) when they are at least 52 years old if they have completed at least 17 years of service; or (c) at any age if they have completed at least 27 years of service. In the case of Mr. Enright, he would be entitled to an early monthly pension benefit of (i) $1,219 if he were immediately to separate from the Company and begin to receive benefits, (ii) $1,505 if he were to separate from the Company at or after age 52 and elect to start receiving benefits at any time thereafter or (iii) depending on his years of service with the Company and the age at which he elects to start receiving benefits, an amount between $1,219 and $1,505 if he were to separate from the Company in the future but before age 52.

Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Table

None of the Named Executive Officers participates in any non-qualified deferred compensation plan.

Employment Agreements

The Company does not have any employment agreements with any Named Executive Officer except for John Legere and Jean Mandeville.

Agreement with John Legere

On August 15, 2006, the Company entered into a new employment agreement (the “Original 2006 Agreement”) with Mr. Legere following approval thereof by the Board on that same date. The Original Agreement was amended by an amendment dated as of June 24, 2008, and further amended by an amendment dated December 31, 2008 (as amended, the “2006 Agreement”). The 2006 Agreement supersedes the employment agreement between the parties dated December 9, 2003 (the “2003 Agreement”), except with respect to certain rights Mr. Legere had under such prior agreement relating to indemnification, liability insurance and the resolution of disputes thereunder.

Consistent with the 2003 Agreement, the 2006 Agreement: (1) provides Mr. Legere with an annual base salary of $1.1 million and a target annual bonus of $1.1 million; (2) entitles Mr. Legere to attend all meetings of the Board and to receive all materials provided to Board members, subject to certain limited exceptions; and (3) entitles Mr. Legere to reimbursement (on an after-tax basis) for certain excise taxes should they apply to payments made to Mr. Legere by the Company.

In addition, the 2006 Agreement: (1) extends the contractual term of Mr. Legere’s employment from December 9, 2007 to August 15, 2010; (2) provides for the payment of severance to Mr. Legere in the event of termination of Mr. Legere’s employment by the Company without “cause” or upon Mr. Legere’s death, “disability” or resignation for “good reason” (as such quoted terms are defined in the agreement (the “Designated Terminations”)) in an amount equal to three times the sum of Mr. Legere’s base salary and target annual bonus, plus certain other benefits and payments; (3) clarifies that the provisions in the 2003 Agreement entitling Mr. Legere to equity grants on a basis no less favorable than grants for other senior executives of the Company and to the vesting in full of equity grants upon any Designated Termination apply to all equity-based compensation and not only to stock options; and (4) provides the Company with the discretion to pay up to one-half of Mr. Legere’s annual bonus in common shares of the Company.

32

Agreement with Jean Mandeville

On August 28, 2008, the Company entered into a letter agreement with Mr. Mandeville regarding the terms of his employment prior to his resignation from his position as chief financial officer, which resignation became effective on September 30, 2008. Pursuant to the agreement, substantially all of the then-current terms of his employment remained unchanged. In addition, Mr. Mandeville received a one-time cash bonus in the amount of $55,000, and a payment of $189,444 in unrestricted shares of the Company’s common stock, which was equal to 75% of the 2008 annual bonus that he would have been entitled to receive had his employment continued through the payment date.

33

POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION OR CHANGE IN CONTROL

Payments Made Upon Any Termination

Regardless of the manner in which a Named Executive Officer’s employment terminates, he will be entitled to receive amounts earned during his term of employment. Such amounts may include:

• amounts contributed and vested under the Company’s Employee Retirement Savings Plan (“ERSP”) and the Supplemental Retirement Savings Plan (“SRSP”); and

• unused vacation pay.

For all termination reasons except involuntary termination for cause, the Named Executive Officers will have 90 days from termination in which to exercise any vested stock options. In the case of the Named Executive Officer’s termination due to death or disability, their vested stock options will remain exercisable for 180 days from termination. Pursuant to Mr. Legere’s Non-Qualified Stock Option Agreements, for termination due to death or disability, involuntary not-for-cause termination, voluntary termination for good reason, and termination due to change in control, he will have 12 months from the date of termination to exercise vested options. For all other reasons except involuntary termination for cause, he will have 90 days from termination to exercise vested options. Mr. Legere’s Employment Agreement also provides for 100% vesting of all outstanding stock options and RSUs for all Designated Terminations. Unvested stock options and RSUs for all other Named Executive Officers are forfeited upon termination for all reasons except as noted on page 35 under the heading “Payments Made Upon Change In Control Termination”.

Payments Made Upon Involuntary Not-For-Cause Termination or Voluntary Termination With Good Reason

In the event of an involuntary termination not-for-cause or voluntary termination with good reason of a Named Executive Officer (except for Mr. Legere to the extent inconsistent with his employment agreement as described above), in addition to the items identified above, he will be entitled to receive the following items paid in accordance with the Global Crossing Limited Key Management Protection Plan, which is described in further detail below:

• a lump sum cash severance equal to 2 times base salary plus annual bonus at target;

• a lump sum amount representing a pro rata portion of the current year annual bonus at target;

• continued health and welfare benefits for 24 months following termination; and

• outplacement services up to an amount equal to 30% of base salary.

Payments Made Upon Death or Disability

In the event of the death or disability of a Named Executive Officer (except for Mr. Legere to the extent inconsistent with his employment agreement as described above), in addition to the benefits listed under the heading of “Payments Made Upon Any Termination” above, the Named Executive Officer will also receive:

• benefits under the Company’s disability plan or payment under the Company’s life insurance plan, as appropriate; and

• a pro rata portion of Time-Based RSUs and Performance-Based RSUs.

34

Payments Made Upon Change in Control Termination

In the event a Named Executive Officer is terminated as a result of a change in control, in addition to the benefits listed above under the headings “Payments Made Upon Any Termination” and “Payments Made Upon Involuntary Termination Not-For-Cause or Voluntary Termination With Good Reason”, the following will occur:

• all outstanding stock options will immediately become exercisable pursuant to the executive’s Non-Qualified Stock Option Agreement; and

• all RSUs still subject to restrictions will vest pursuant to the executive’s Restricted Stock Unit Agreement.

Global Crossing Limited Key Management Protection Plan

The KMPP is intended to retain executive officers and other key executives by mitigating their concerns about financial hardship in the event of an involuntary actual or constructive termination without “cause” (as defined in the plan). The KMPP was originally adopted by the Company on December 9, 2003 and provided enhanced severance benefits for the executive officers and certain other key employees of the Company named in the KMPP. Specifically, if a participant’s employment were terminated by the Company (other than for cause or by reason of death or disability), or if he or she were to terminate employment for “good reason” (generally, an unfavorable change in employment status or compensation), the KMPP, as amended effective December 31, 2007, entitles him or her to receive (i) a lump sum payment equal to the “severance multiplier” of one or 2 times the sum of his or her annual base salary plus target bonus opportunity (reduced by any cash severance benefit otherwise paid to the participant under any other applicable severance plan or severance arrangement), (ii) a prorated portion of the annual target bonus for the year in which the termination occurred, subject to minimum target bonus amounts established for purposes of calculating severance, (iii) continuation of life and health insurance coverages for a number of years equal to the “severance multiplier” and (iv) payment for outplacement services in an amount not to exceed 30% of his or her base salary. These benefits are included above under “Payments Made Upon Involuntary Not-For-Cause Termination or Voluntary Termination With Good Reason.” The amended KMPP was filed as Exhibit 10.3 to our 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Mr. Legere’s severance arrangements are set forth in his employment agreement rather than in the KMPP.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change of Control

The tables below reflect the amount of compensation payable to each of the Named Executive Officers of the Company upon voluntary termination without good reason; termination due to death or disability; involuntary not-for-cause or voluntary for good reason termination; involuntary for cause termination; and termination following a change in control. The amounts shown assume that such termination was effective as of December 31, 2008, and thus include amounts earned through such time and are estimates of the amounts, which would be paid out to the executives upon their termination. The actual amounts to be paid out can only be determined at the time of such executive’s separation from the Company. In connection with the termination of his employment with the Company, Mr. Mandeville received a one-time cash bonus in the amount of $55,000, and a payment of $189,444 in unrestricted shares of the Company’s common stock, which was equal to 75% of the 2008 annual bonus that he would have been entitled to receive had his employment continued through the payment date. He also received a payment of $21,154 for unused vacation days. Except as noted below, payments that would be made upon termination to Mr. Legere are detailed on page 32 under the heading “Employment Agreements.”

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

On August 15, 2006, the Board amended the compensation program for non-employee members of the Board and the Company’s Executive Committee (“Members”). Each Board Member receives cash compensation of $5,000 for each meeting of the Board attended in person and $2,500 for each such meeting attended telephonically. Each Board Member also receives cash compensation for attendance at each meeting of a committee of the Board of which he or she is a member in the amount of $2,500 for each meeting attended in person and $1,250 for each such meeting attended telephonically. Each Executive Committee Member receives cash compensation for attendance at each meeting of the Board (unless he or she is a Board Member, in which case he or she receives no additional compensation in the capacity of Executive Committee Member) and the Executive Committee in the amount of $2,500 for each meeting attended in person and $1,250 for each such meeting attended telephonically.

In connection with their employment by ST Telemedia and its affiliates, Messrs, Lee and Clontz assigned their rights to Board fees and retainers to a subsidiary of ST Telemedia. The Company reduces fee and retainer payments to non-U.S. resident directors by the amount of the applicable U.S. withholding taxes, although we will reimburse such directors up to $7,000 (including a tax gross-up) for the costs to engage a tax accountant to prepare their non-resident U.S. income tax returns.

Each Member, each non-employee chairman of a Board committee and each member of the Government Security Committee also receives annual retainers in accordance with the following schedule (such retainers payable in cash prior to 2007 and (subject to share availability) one-half in cash and one-half in common shares of the Company in 2007 and thereafter):

• Board Chairman Retainer: $100,000

• Board Vice Chairman Retainer: $75,000

• Retainer for Other Members of Board or Executive Committee: $50,000

• Additional Retainer for Government Security Committee Members: $45,000

• Additional Committee Chair Retainers:

• Audit: $30,000

• Compensation: $15,000

• Nominating and Corporate Governance: $10,000

• Executive: $10,000

• Government Security: $10,000

The retainers of the Board Chairman, the Board Vice Chairman and the other Members of the Board and the Executive Committee are, subject to share availability, payable one-half in cash and one-half in common shares of the Company.

In addition, on the date of each annual general meeting of shareholders, each Member is granted restricted stock units with one year vesting valued at $80,000 based on the closing price of the Company’s common shares on such date.

On March 10, 2009, the Board amended the compensation program for the Members of the Board and the Executive Committee for 2009. Under the amended program, the $80,000 restricted stock unit grant that would otherwise be made in June 2009 will be replaced with a combination of a $20,000 restricted stock unit grant and a $45,000 increase in the annual retainer. All retainers will be paid in cash only for the rest of 2009. In addition, each element of cash compensation has been reduced by 25% from April 1, 2009 through December 31, 2009 (excluding the $45,000 retainer increase, which already reflects such a reduction). The Board will reevaluate the compensation program for members of the Board and the Executive Committee in 2010.

All proposals of shareholders who wish to bring business before our 2010 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders must be received by us at our principal executive offices at Wessex House, 45 Reid Street, Hamilton HM12 Bermuda, not later than December 15, 2009, for inclusion in our proxy statement and form of proxy relating to such annual meeting. Upon timely receipt of any such proposal, we will determine whether or not to include such proposal in the proxy statement and form of proxy in accordance with applicable law.

Under the Companies Act of 1981 (Bermuda), any shareholders who represent not less than 5% of the total voting power of shareholders having the right to vote at the meeting or who are 100 or more in number may requisition any resolution which may properly be moved at a shareholders’ meeting. A shareholder wishing to move a resolution at an annual meeting is generally required to give us notice of the resolution at our registered office at least six weeks before the meeting. Any such proposal must also comply with the other provisions contained in our bye-laws relating to shareholder proposals.

At this time, as described above, the STT Shareholder Group has the right to appoint eight of the ten members of our Board of Directors. These designation rights will in general control the nomination process for such designated members until the STT Shareholder Group’s share ownership percentage in the Company changes. However, with respect to the two Board seats not currently controlled by ST Telemedia’s designation rights, as well as any other Board seats that may cease to be governed by ST Telemedia’s designation rights in the future, the Board will consider Director candidates nominated by shareholders. Pursuant to Section 87(e) of our bye-laws, the shareholders are entitled to elect directors to any Board seats that have ceased being subject to ST Telemedia’s designation rights at the next meeting of shareholders. For a shareholder to nominate a Director for election at the 2009 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, a notice executed by that shareholder (not being the person to be proposed) must be received by our Secretary as soon as practicable and in any event at

46

least six weeks before the meeting at Wessex House, 45 Reid Street, Hamilton HM12, Bermuda. This notice should state the intention of that shareholder to propose such person for appointment and set forth as to each person whom the shareholder proposes to nominate for election (i) the name, age, business address and residence address of such person, (ii) the principal occupation or employment of such person, (iii) the class, series and number of shares of our common shares which are beneficially owned by such person, (iv) particulars which would, if such person were so appointed, be required to be included in our register of Directors and officers and (v) all other information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations for proxies for the election of Directors pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Commission under Section 14 of the Exchange Act, together with notice executed by such person of his or her willingness to serve as a Director if so elected.

SHAREHOLDER COMMUNICATIONS WITH DIRECTORS

Our Board has established a process to receive communications from shareholders and other interested parties. Shareholders and other interested parties may contact any member (or all members) of the Board, any Board committee or any chair of any such committee by mail. To communicate with the Board of Directors, any individual Directors or any group or committee of Directors, correspondence should be addressed to the Board of Directors or any such individual Directors or group or committee of Directors by either name or title. All such correspondence should be sent “c/o Secretary” at Wessex House, 45 Reid Street, Hamilton HM12, Bermuda. Communications are distributed to the Board, or to any individual Directors as appropriate, depending on the facts and circumstances outlined in the communication. However, product complaints, inquiries or suggestions; résumés and other job inquiries; surveys; business solicitations or advertisements; and material that is unduly hostile, threatening, illegal or similarly unsuitable will not be forwarded to the Board.

DELIVERY OF DOCUMENTS TO SHAREHOLDERS SHARING AN ADDRESS

If you are a beneficial owner, but not the record holder, of Company shares, your broker, bank or other nominee may deliver only one copy of this Proxy Statement and the Annual Report to multiple shareholders who share an address unless that nominee or Global Crossing has received contrary instructions from one or more of the shareholders. We will deliver promptly, upon written or oral request, a separate copy of this Proxy Statement and the Annual Report to a shareholder at a shared address to which a single copy of the document was delivered. A shareholder who wishes to receive a separate copy of our proxy statements and annual reports, now or in the future, should submit their request to us by telephone at (800) 836-0342 or by submitting a request by e-mail to investors@globalcrossing.com or a written request to the Secretary, Wessex House, 45 Reid Street, Hamilton HM12 Bermuda. Beneficial owners sharing an address who are receiving multiple copies of proxy materials and annual reports and wish to receive a single copy of such materials in the future will need to contact their broker, bank or other nominee to request that only a single copy of each document be mailed to all shareholders at the shared address in the future.
