second-generation satellite constellation

Covington, LA. -- (September 18, 2012) – Globalstar, Inc. (NASDAQ:GSAT), and launch services provider Arianespace have entered into an agreement regarding the additional amounts that Globalstar will pay to cover costs associated with the delays experienced during three prior launch campaigns.  This resolution permits Globalstar and Arianespace to complete the fourth launch campaign under their current Launch Services Agreement.

Globalstar anticipates that satellite manufacturer Thales Alenia Space will complete the Pre-Shipment Reviews of the final six spacecraft purchased under the terms of the 2009 contract in the upcoming weeks in Rome. Once completed, the fourth launch campaign can begin. Due to available launch windows and the upcoming end-of-year holiday season, the fourth launch is now anticipated in early 2013.  Globalstar will provide additional information regarding the specific launch date in the near future once its plans are confirmed with the launch participants.

“We are only months away from completing the fourth launch of our second-generation satellites to re-establish Globalstar’s preeminent position within the Mobile Satellite Industry,” said Jay Monroe, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Globalstar.  “With our landline quality voice service, industry leading handset data speeds, high quality innovative M2M data solutions and low cost pricing plans, we are ready to mix it up in the MSS marketplace.”
