News Release

Lockheed Martin Announces Preliminary Results of Exchange Offer for IT and Technical Services Businesses

• Lockheed Martin expects the exchange to result in a reduction of Lockheed Martin common stock outstanding by 9,369,694 shares

• Participating Lockheed Martin stockholders will receive approximately 77 million shares of Leidos common stock with a market value of approximately $2.8 billion based on Leidos’ August 15 closing price adjusted for the $13.64 per share Leidos special dividend to be paid

• Aggregate transaction value of approximately $4.6 billion, inclusive of $1.8 billion special cash payment to Lockheed Martin and $2.8 billion of Leidos common stock to be distributed to participating Lockheed Martin stockholders through the exchange offer

BETHESDA, Md., Aug. 16, 2016 – Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) announced today the preliminary results of its exchange offer for shares of Lockheed Martin common stock in connection with the previously announced transaction to separate its Information Systems & Global Solutions (IS&GS) business segment and combine it with Leidos Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: LDOS) in a tax-efficient Reverse Morris Trust transaction.

Lockheed Martin expects to accept shares tendered in the exchange offer, subject to proration, and expects, through the split-off structure, to repurchase 9,369,694 of its shares of common stock upon closing of the transaction. Closing is expected to occur later today immediately following the satisfaction of all remaining closing conditions and consummation of the exchange offer. In connection with the closing of the transaction, Lockheed Martin will receive a special cash payment of $1.8 billion, which will be used for repayment of debt, dividends and/or share repurchases.

The final exchange ratio for the exchange offer was set at 8.2136 shares of common stock of Abacus Innovations Corporation (Abacus) for each share of Lockheed Martin common stock. Upon completion of the merger of Abacus with a subsidiary of Leidos, each share of Abacus common stock will be converted into one share of Leidos common stock. As a result, Lockheed Martin stockholders who tendered shares of Lockheed Martin common stock in the exchange offer will receive approximately 8.2136 shares of Leidos common stock (subject to the receipt of cash in lieu of fractional shares) for each share of Lockheed Martin common stock accepted for exchange.

Exchange Offer Preliminary Results

Pursuant to the exchange offer, which expired today at 8:00 a.m. EDT, and based on a preliminary count by the exchange agent, approximately 96,116,351 shares of Lockheed Martin common stock were tendered prior to the expiration of the exchange offer, including 45,859,639 shares tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures. The total number of shares tendered included an estimated 1,821,061 shares of Lockheed Martin common stock tendered

by odd-lot stockholders (holders of fewer than 100 shares) not subject to proration. Lockheed Martin will exchange a total of 9,369,694 shares of Lockheed Martin common stock in the exchange offer.

Based on the total number of shares of Lockheed Martin common stock reported to be tendered and not properly withdrawn prior to the expiration of the exchange offer, the exchange offer was oversubscribed by approximately 86,746,657 shares, including 45,859,639 shares tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures, resulting in a preliminary proration factor of approximately 8.01 percent.

Lockheed Martin will not be able to determine the final proration factor until after the end of the exchange offer’s guaranteed delivery period, which could be as late as 5:00 p.m. EDT on August 19, 2016. Lockheed Martin will publicly announce the final proration factor, which may be different from today’s preliminary estimate, once it has been determined.

Because more than 9,369,694 shares of Lockheed Martin common stock were tendered, all shares of Abacus common stock owned by Lockheed Martin are expected to be distributed to Lockheed Martin stockholders who tendered their shares of Lockheed Martin common stock in the exchange offer, and no shares of Abacus common stock are expected to be distributed to Lockheed Martin stockholders as a pro rata dividend.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Statements

The forward looking statements contained in this document involve risks and uncertainties that may affect Lockheed Martin’s and Leidos’ operations, markets, products, services, prices and other factors as discussed in filings with the SEC. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, economic, competitive, legal, governmental and technological factors. Accordingly, there is no assurance that the expectations of either company will be realized. This document also contains statements about Lockheed Martin’s agreement to separate its Information Systems & Global Solutions business segment and combine this business with

Leidos in a Reverse Morris Trust transaction (the “Transaction”). Many factors could cause actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements with respect to the Transaction, including risks relating to the completion of the Transaction on anticipated terms and timing, including obtaining regulatory approvals, anticipated tax treatment, the value to be received in the split-off transaction, unforeseen liabilities, future capital expenditures, revenues, expenses, earnings, synergies, economic performance, indebtedness, financial condition, losses, future prospects, business and management strategies for the management, expansion and growth of the new combined company’s operations, Leidos’ ability to integrate the businesses successfully and to achieve anticipated synergies, and the risk that disruptions from the Transaction will harm Lockheed Martin’s or Leidos’ business.

Unlisted factors may present significant additional obstacles to the realization of forward-looking statements. Consequences of material differences in results as compared with those anticipated in the forward-looking statements could include, among other things, business disruption, operational problems, financial loss, legal liability to third parties and similar risks, any of which could have a material adverse effect on Lockheed Martin’s or Leidos’ consolidated financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

Exhibit 99.2

News Release

Lockheed Martin Successfully Closes Transaction to Separate and Combine IT and Technical Services Businesses with Leidos

Transaction Allows for Greater Focus on Core Business in Aerospace and Defense

• Lockheed Martin separated its IS&GS business and merged it with Leidos through a tax-efficient Reverse Morris Trust transaction

• Aggregate transaction value of approximately $4.6 billion, inclusive of $1.8 billion special cash payment to Lockheed Martin and $2.8 billion of Leidos common stock to be distributed to participating Lockheed Martin stockholders through the exchange offer

• Exchange offer results in a reduction of Lockheed Martin common stock outstanding by 9,369,694 shares

BETHESDA, Md., Aug. 16, 2016 – Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) has completed the separation of its Information Systems & Global Solutions (IS&GS) business segment and merged it with a subsidiary of Leidos Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: LDOS). The transaction concludes Lockheed Martin’s portfolio reshaping strategy announced last year and was finalized through a tax-efficient Reverse Morris Trust transaction.

The merger creates tangible value for both businesses. It will enable Lockheed Martin to reinforce its heritage in aerospace and defense and deliver more value to stockholders. As for the newly combined company, it will offer a broader and more affordable portfolio of capabilities and services to customers.

“This strategic transaction enhances our competitive posture in our core aerospace and defense markets and increases the value we deliver to our stockholders,” said Lockheed Martin Chairman, President and CEO Marillyn Hewson. “As we position our company for the future, this action will enable us to focus our business growth strategy, align our technology investments and increase the value we deliver to customers worldwide.”

The closing of the merger followed the expiration of the exchange offer and the satisfaction of certain other conditions. As part of the transaction, Lockheed Martin received a $1.8 billion special cash payment, which the Corporation will use to repay debt, pay dividends, and/or repurchase its stock. As a result of the exchange offer, Lockheed Martin reduced outstanding shares of its common stock by 9,369,694 shares, or approximately 3% of the outstanding common shares. Lockheed Martin stockholders who participated in the exchange offer received an approximately 50.5 percent stake in Leidos (approximately 77 million shares of Leidos common stock). The special cash payment, plus the shares of Leidos common stock to be received by participating Lockheed Martin stockholders (valued based on Leidos’ August 15 closing price adjusted for the $13.64 per share Leidos special dividend to be paid), results in an aggregate transaction value of approximately $4.6 billion.

Preliminary Results of Exchange Offer

Lockheed Martin stockholders had an opportunity to exchange their shares of Lockheed Martin common stock for shares of Abacus Innovations Corporation (Abacus), a wholly owned subsidiary of Lockheed Martin created to facilitate the transaction, which automatically converted into the right to receive shares of Leidos common stock at the close of the transaction. The final exchange ratio for the exchange offer was set at 8.2136 shares of common stock of Abacus for each share of Lockheed Martin common stock. Each share of Abacus common stock was converted in the merger into one share of Leidos common stock. As a result, Lockheed Martin stockholders who tendered and did not properly withdraw their shares of Lockheed Martin common stock in the exchange offer received approximately 8.2136 shares of Leidos common stock (subject to the receipt of cash in lieu of fractional shares) for each share of Lockheed Martin common stock accepted for exchange.

Pursuant to the exchange offer, which expired today at 8:00 a.m. EDT, Lockheed Martin accepted 9,369,694 shares of Lockheed Martin common stock in exchange for the 76,958,918 shares of Abacus common stock owned by Lockheed Martin, which represent all of the outstanding shares of Abacus.

Because more than 9,369,694 shares of Lockheed Martin common stock were validly tendered and not properly withdrawn in the exchange offer, the exchange offer was oversubscribed and all shares of Abacus common stock owned by Lockheed Martin were distributed in the exchange offer. As a result of the oversubscription, it was not necessary to distribute shares of Abacus common stock to Lockheed Martin stockholders as a pro rata dividend. Earlier today, Lockheed Martin announced a preliminary proration factor of approximately 8.01 percent.
