Lockheed Martin Corporation and The Titan Corporation announced today that they have amended their merger agreement. Under the terms of the amended agreement, Titan stockholders will receive $20 in cash in exchange for each Titan share owned.

As previously announced, Lockheed Martin and Titan have been conducting reviews of whether payments were made, or items of value were provided, by consultants for Titan or its subsidiaries to foreign officials. These internal reviews are substantially complete. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) also commenced an investigation into whether payments involving Titan's international consultants were made in violation of applicable law. In addition, the Department of Justice initiated a criminal inquiry into this matter. As part of their reviews, Lockheed Martin, Titan, the SEC and the Department of Justice have been evaluating Titan's internal controls relating to these matters.

The merger agreement also has been amended to provide that, as a condition to the closing of the transaction, Titan must obtain written confirmation that the Department of Justice considers its investigation of these allegations resolved and does not intend to pursue any claims against Titan, or Titan must have entered into a plea agreement with the Department of Justice and completed the sentencing process. Upon satisfaction of this condition, Lockheed Martin has agreed that the facts surrounding these allegations and the related proceedings, costs and expenses will not constitute a material adverse effect on Titan.

In light of the amendments to the merger agreement, Titan will not consider the merger at the special meeting of its stockholders scheduled to be reconvened on April 12, 2004. Titan intends to establish a new record date for the determination of the Titan stockholders who are entitled to vote on the amended merger agreement and plans to prepare and distribute new proxy materials to these record holders as soon as they are available, in anticipation of a new special meeting to be held on or after June 7, 2004. The revised merger agreement provides that if the merger is not completed on or before June 25, 2004, either Lockheed Martin or Titan may terminate the merger agreement, provided that the party seeking to terminate the agreement is not then in material breach of its obligations under the merger agreement in a manner that has contributed to the failure to complete the merger by such date. Under certain limited circumstances, the date may be extended to a date as late as September 24, 2004.
