CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This filing contains certain forward-looking information about DigitalGlobe, GeoEye and the combined company after the merger, or the combined company, that is intended to be covered by the safe harbor for “forward-looking statements” provided by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. These statements may include statements for the period after completion of the merger. These forward-looking statements relate to future events or future financial performance and generally can be identified by the use of terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “could,” “intends,” “target,” “projects,” “contemplates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” or “forecast” or the negative of these terms or other similar words, although not all forward-looking statements contain these words.

All statements, other than historical facts, including statements regarding the expected timing of the closing of the merger; the expected benefits of the merger such as efficiencies, cost savings, tax benefits, enhanced revenue and cash flow, growth potential, market profile and financial strength; the competitive ability and position of the combined company; and any assumptions underlying any of the foregoing, are forward-looking statements. Such statements are based upon current plans, estimates and expectations that are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions. The inclusion of such statements should not be regarded as a representation that such plans, estimates or expectations will be achieved. The inclusion of this forward-looking information should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that the future plans, estimates or expectations contemplated by us will be achieved. Such forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties and assumptions relating to the operations, financial results, financial condition, business, prospects, growth strategy and liquidity of DigitalGlobe and the combined company. If one or more of these or other risks or uncertainties materialize, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those indicated in these statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from these expectations include, among other things, the following: there may be a material adverse change of DigitalGlobe or the business of DigitalGlobe may suffer as a result of uncertainty surrounding the merger; there may be a material adverse change of GeoEye or the business of GeoEye may suffer as a result of uncertainty surrounding the merger; the anticipated benefits of the merger may not be fully realized, if at all, or may take longer to realize than expected; the costs or challenges related to the integration of DigitalGlobe and GeoEye operations could be greater than expected; the ability of the combined company to retain and hire key personnel and maintain relationships with customers, suppliers or other business partners; the loss or reduction in scope of any one of our primary contracts; the impact of legislative, regulatory, competitive and technological changes; the risk that the credit ratings of the combined company may be different from what the companies expect; other business effects, including the effects of industry, economic or political conditions outside of the combined company’s control, transaction costs and actual or contingent liabilities; the outcome of any legal proceedings related to the merger; and other risk factors relating to the business of DigitalGlobe and GeoEye or our industry, as detailed from time to time in each of DigitalGlobe’s and GeoEye’s reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

These factors should not be construed as exhaustive. Additional factors, risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements are discussed in reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by DigitalGlobe and GeoEye and those discussed in Exhibit 99.1.
