Item 1. Security and Issuer. ------------------- Common Stock Globalstar Telecommunications Limited, a Bermuda company Cedar House 41 Cedar Avenue Hamilton HM12, Bermuda Item 2. Identity and Background. ----------------------- Lockheed Martin Corporation Lockheed Martin Tactical Systems, Inc. 6801 Rockledge Drive Bethesda, Maryland 20817 Lockheed Martin is incorporated in Maryland. Tactical Systems is incorporated in New York. Lockheed Martin and its wholly owned subsidiary, Tactical Systems, is a diversified enterprise principally engaged in the conception, design, manufacture and integration of advanced technology products and services for the United States government and private industry. Lockheed Martin also manages significant facilities for the Department of Energy. Neither Lockheed Martin nor Tactical Systems has, during the last five years, been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and similar misdemeanors). On January 27, 1995, Lockheed Corporation, one of the corporations that combined to form Lockheed Martin, entered into a plea agreement pursuant to which Lockheed Corporation agreed to plead guilty to one count of conspiring to violate the bribery provisions of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and conspiracy to falsify its books, records and accounts. For further information concerning the plea agreement and the events out of which it arose, see the description contained under the caption "Lockheed Plea Agreement" on page 54 of the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus which is contained in Registration Statement No. 33-57645 on Form S-4 filed by Lockheed Martin on February 9, 1995. Page 3 of 6 Neither Lockheed Martin nor Tactical Systems has, during the last five years, been subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws. Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or other Consideration. ------------------------------------------------- The Common Stock was acquired pursuant to the terms of a Warrant Acceleration and Registration Rights Agreement dated as of February 12, 1997 (the "Agreement") upon exercise of warrants (the "Warrants") for an aggregate exercise price of $66,546,535 (the "Purchase Price"). The Purchase Price was raised by Lockheed Martin by the issuance of commercial paper. Item 4. Purpose of Transaction. ---------------------- Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Company accelerated the vesting and exerciseability of the Warrants owned by Tactical Systems to purchase an aggregate of 2,511,190 shares of Common Stock. On March 25, 1997, Tactical Systems exercised its Warrants pursuant to the Agreement. The Warrants were acquired by Tactical Systems in April 1996 in connection with Tactical Systems' agreement to guaranty the Company's obligations under a $250 million credit facility. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 on February 19, 1997 (the "Registration Statement") under which Tactical Systems may sell, subject to the terms of the Agreement, some or all of the Common Stock reported on this Statement. The Registration Statement became effective on March 24, 1997. Depending on, among other things, market conditions for Common Stock, Tactical Systems currently intends, and Lockheed Martin currently intends to cause Tactical Systems, to dispose of some or all of the Common Stock owned by Tactical Systems under the Registration Statement. In the event Tactical Systems determines not to sell its Common Stock pursuant to the Registration Statement, the Company has agreed to use its best efforts to file a registration statement pursuant to Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and to cause it to be declared effective by June 15, 1997 and to remain effective as late as December 31, 1997. See also Item 6 below. Except as noted above and in Item 6 below, neither Lockheed Martin nor Tactical Systems presently has plans or proposals that relate to or would result in (i) the acquisition or disposition of securities of the Company by any person; (ii) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries; (iii) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries; (iv) any change in the present Page 4 of 6 board of directors or management of the Company, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board; (v) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Company; (vi) any other material change in the Company's business or corporate structure; (vii) changes in the Company's articles of incorporation or bylaws or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person; (viii) causing a class of securities of the Issuer to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association; (ix) causing a class of equity securities to become eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Act, as amended; or (x) any action similar to any of those enumerated in clauses (i) through (ix) of this sentence. Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer. ------------------------------------ Tactical Systems is the record and beneficial owner of 2,511,190 shares (approximately 16.4%) of the issued and outstanding Common Stock of the Company. Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect --------------------------------------------------------------------- to Securities of the Issuer. --------------------------- As noted above, under the terms of the Agreement, the Company currently maintains an effective Registration Statement on Form S-3. Depending on, among other things, market conditions for Common Stock, Tactical Systems currently intends to dispose of some or all of the Common Stock owned by it under the Registration Statement. See Item 4 above. Tactical Systems is party to a Fee Agreement by and among Globalstar, L.P., the Company, Tactical Systems, Loral Space & Communications LTD., DASA Globalstar Limited Partner, Inc., Qualcomm Limited Partner, Inc. and Space Systems/Loral, Inc. (the "Fee Agreement"). In addition to the registration rights contained in the Agreement described in Item 4 above, under the terms of the Fee Agreement, the Company has agreed to use its best efforts to cause the Common Stock owned by Tactical Systems to be registered under the Securities Act at the request of Tactical Systems and to use its reasonable efforts to include the Common Stock owned by Tactical Systems in certain other specified registrations if so requested by Tactical Systems.
