Just a Reminder Alcatel & Loral

Long-Term Sentiment: Buy

PARIS - Alcatel Space and Loral are on the verge of a broad agreement
that would give Loral badly needed financial breathing room and, in
return, transfer Loral's minority ownership stake in satellite
operator EuropeStar to Alcatel, according to industry officials.

The agreement, which officials said was nearing completion as of June
13, would also remove the risk that Loral would have to pay a big
cash award to Alcatel Space following a ruling at the International
Chamber of Commerce (ICC) in Geneva.

The two sides have agreed to a formula in which Loral will receive
$55 million in cash from Intelsat Ltd. of Washington - a payment that
Loral had guaranteed its bankers it would receive before a bank-
imposed June 30 deadline. The Intelsat payment is for previously
agreed satellite performance incentives relating to the Intelsat 7
and Intelsat 9 satellites, for which Loral is prime contractor.
