EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
---------------------
On January 7, 1996, Lockheed Martin Corporation (the "Corporation") and its
wholly owned subsidiary LAC Acquisition Corporation ("LAC"), entered into an
Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Loral Merger Agreement") with Loral
Corporation ("Loral") pursuant to which LAC agreed to commence a tender offer to
purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of Loral
(together with the associated preferred stock purchase rights) for an aggregate
consideration of $38 per share, net to the seller in cash, without interest (the
"Tender Offer"). In accordance with the terms of the Tender Offer and the Loral
Merger Agreement, on April 23, 1996, LAC purchased approximately 94.5% of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock of Loral. Subsequent to the consummation of
the Tender Offer, on April 29, 1996, in accordance with the terms of the Loral
Merger Agreement, LAC merged with and into Loral and pursuant thereto each
remaining share of Common Stock of Loral not owned by LAC was converted into the
right to receive $38, each outstanding share of Common Stock of LAC was
converted into a share of Common Stock of Loral, and Loral changed its name to
Lockheed Martin Tactical Systems, Inc. ("Tactical Systems"). As a result of
these transactions, Tactical Systems became a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Corporation.
Shares previously registered by Tactical Systems for use in connection with
the Loral Corporation 1994 Stock Option and Incentive Stock Purchase Plan (the
"Plan") on Registration Statement No. 33-55675 on Form S-8 (the "Registration
Statement") and not already issued will not be issued by Tactical Systems and,
pursuant to Tactical Systems' undertakings in the Registration Statement,
Tactical Systems files this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 thereto to remove
from registration the shares of Tactical Systems common stock registered
thereunder which had not been issued as of the consummation of the Tender Offer.
