Dear Valued Motorola Customer:
On Monday, March 6, 2000, Iridium LLC was authorized to use cash collateral to continue
operations through March 17, 2000. Iridium LLC will continue its efforts to find a qualified buyer.
However, unless a qualified buyer comes forward and provides additional funding by March 15,
2000, we do not expect Iridium service to be available after 11:59 PM (EST) on March 17, 2000. In
the meantime, Motorola will continue its support for Iridium LLC, the gateways, service providers,
and all current customers and subscribers.
Motorola is attempting to directly contact all its direct end user customers who subscribe to Iridium
service through a Motorola-owned Service Provider as quickly as possible to inform them about the
current status of Iridium service availability. However we would appreciate your sharing this
information with anyone you know who uses Iridium service.
As you may know, Motorola and other Iridium investors have been working very hard to support
Iridium LLC?s efforts to reorganize and continue operating the business.
Motorola cares deeply about its customers, and as a valued customer, we are concerned about your
needs. We understand that you probably have a number of questions. We will update this site as we
learn more about the situation.
In the event that Iridium service becomes unavailable, we would be happy to talk to you about other
possible communications solutions. Additionally, contact information for possible alternative service
providers is provided below for your convenience.
