NEW YORK, Sept 25 (Reuters) - Satellite telecommunications firm Globalstar Telecommunications Ltd. (NasdaqNM:GSTRF - news) said on Monday five of its founding partners will provide it with further equity financing.

Under the terms of their agreements, Loral Space & Communications Ltd. (NYSE:LOR - news), Vodafone Group Plc. (quote from Yahoo! UK & Ireland: VOD.L), Qualcomm Inc. (NasdaqNM:QCOM - news), Elsacom, and a France Telecom/Alcatel partnership will purchase 5.2 million shares of common stock of Globalstar for $56 million. Loral will purchase $12 million of this total.

A sixth partner, ChinaSat, has indicated an intent to purchase an additional $12 million of Globalstar shares upon receipt of government approval.

The share purchases are based on a price of $10.7125 per share. The transaction is expected to close by September 29.
