Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation Relating

to Titan’s Outstanding 8% Senior Subordinated Notes Due 2011 Extended to June 18, 2004

 

San Diego, CA-June 4, 2004- The Titan Corporation (NYSE: TTN) announced today that it has further extended its exchange offer and consent solicitation relating to its outstanding 8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2011. The exchange offer and consent solicitation will now expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 18, 2004, unless further extended.

 

As previously announced, Titan intends to further extend the expiration date as necessary so that the exchange offer expires on the day before the closing of Titan’s pending merger with Lockheed Martin Corporation (NYSE: LMT). The parties continue working to complete the merger as promptly as possible after all conditions are satisfied. These conditions include the adoption of the merger agreement and approval of the merger by Titan’s stockholders at the June 7, 2004 special meeting, and either that Titan must have obtained a written statement from the Criminal Division of the U.S. Department of Justice that it considers its investigation of alleged violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act resolved as to Titan and its subsidiaries and does not intend to pursue any claims as to Titan and its subsidiaries in respect of such alleged violations, or that Titan must have entered into a plea agreement with the Department of Justice and completed the sentencing process including entry of the requisite judgment. Any plea agreement is subject to Lockheed Martin’s prior consent, which may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

 

Either party may terminate the merger agreement if the conditions are not satisfied or waived and the merger is not completed by June 25, 2004, provided that if Titan enters into a plea agreement with the United States Department of Justice Criminal Division on or before June 25, 2004, then the parties may terminate the merger agreement if the merger is not completed by the earlier of three business days after a judgment signed by a United States district court judge has been entered or September 24, 2004.

 

As some of these conditions are not within the parties’ control, it is impossible at this time to predict when, or if, they will be satisfied and the merger completed. Given these uncertainties, Titan has decided to extend the expiration date for the exchange offer and consent solicitation on a weekly or bi-weekly basis until further information regarding the completion of the merger becomes available. Accordingly, if on June 18, 2004 the parties are not certain that the conditions to the completion of the merger will be satisfied on June 21, 2004, Titan will issue another press release to further extend the exchange offer and consent solicitation.

 

As of the close of business on June 3, 2004, approximately 71.4% of the $200,000,000 aggregate principal amount of notes issued and outstanding had been tendered for exchange with Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, the exchange agent for the exchange offer and consent solicitation, and not withdrawn.
