BETHESDA, Md.

Lockheed Martin Corporation [NYSE: LMT] today announced that approximately $285 million of its 7.70% Notes due 2008 (the "2008 Notes") and $664 million of its 8.20% Notes due 2009 (the "2009 Notes") were tendered prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Tuesday, Nov. 9, 2004 pursuant to its previously announced cash tender offers. That date and time were the expiration date for the offer to purchase the 2008 Notes (the "Any and All Offer") and the early tender date for the offer to purchase the 2009 Notes (the "Maximum Tender Offer") pursuant to the company's Offer to Purchase dated Oct. 26, 2004 (the "Offer to Purchase").

In the Any and All Offer, according to information provided by The Bank of New York, the depositary for the offers, $285,356,000 of 2008 Notes were tendered and not withdrawn prior to the expiration date. Lockheed Martin expects to purchase all 2008 Notes validly tendered in the Any and All Offer and to make payment for the 2008 Notes in same-day funds on Wednesday, Nov. 10, 2004, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in its Offer to Purchase.

Lockheed Martin also announced that it is increasing the maximum amount that it is seeking to purchase in both tender offers from $850 million to $950 million.

The Maximum Tender Offer remains open and is for an amount equal to the difference of $950 million (compared to $850 million previously) and the face amount of 2008 Notes validly tendered and accepted for payment in the Any and All Offer.

The Maximum Tender Offer is scheduled to expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Nov. 24, 2004, unless extended or earlier terminated. Holders of 2009 Notes who have validly tendered and did not validly withdraw their 2009 Notes, and whose 2009 Notes are accepted for purchase, on or before the early tender date will receive the full tender offer consideration, subject to the maximum consideration as specified below. Holders who validly tender their 2009 Notes pursuant to the Maximum Tender Offer after the early tender date but prior to the Maximum Tender Offer expiration date, and whose 2009 Notes are accepted for purchase, shall be entitled to receive only the late tender offer consideration, which is the full tender offer consideration or maximum consideration as applicable minus $20.00 per $1,000 principal amount of 2009 Notes tendered.
