Today, Terran Orbital Corporation (NYSE: LLAP) (“Terran Orbital” or the “Company”) announced that leading independent proxy advisory firms Glass Lewis & Co. (“Glass Lewis”) and Institutional Shareholder Services (“ISS”), recommend that Terran Orbital Stockholders vote “FOR” the adoption of the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of August 15, 2024, by and among Terran Orbital, a Delaware corporation, Lockheed Martin Corporation (“Lockheed Martin”), a Maryland corporation, and Tholian Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Lockheed Martin (the “Merger Agreement Proposal” and such transaction, the “Merger”).

Glass Lewis considered the following key factors in making its recommendation:

• that the Company underwent a comprehensive strategic review process, including during the go-shop period, and the proposed Merger represents the only viable option to investors
  • “[T]he Company has conducted a thorough strategic review process and appears to have exhausted all possible options, including potential financing opportunities.” – Glass Lewis
• that if the Merger is not approved, the Company will not have sufficient liquidity to continue operating and service its existing debt, and will be forced to seek bankruptcy protection or other insolvency proceedings, which would likely result in existing equity holders receiving no return on their investment
  • “[I]f the transaction is not approved, the Company will be left with insufficient liquidity…and will be forced to seek insolvency proceedings, which scenario is likely to provide existing shareholders with no value for their holdings” – Glass Lewis
