("Leidos"), which successfully closed on August 16, 2016.
Exchange Offer Final Results
Based on the final count by the exchange agent, a total of 95,518,064 shares of Lockheed Martin common stock were validly tendered and not properly withdrawn in the exchange offer, including 1,825,646 shares tendered by stockholders who qualified for and elected odd-lot treatment. Stockholders who elected odd-lot treatment were not subject to proration, and their shares were fully accepted in the exchange offer. All remaining tendered shares of Lockheed Martin common stock were accepted in the exchange offer on a pro rata basis using the final proration factor of approximately 8.05 percent.
