ORBCOMM Announces Annual Meeting Results

FORT LEE, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ORBCOMM Inc. (Nasdaq: ORBC), a global satellite data communications company focused on two-way Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications, today announced that based on proxies submitted to the Company at its Annual Meeting held today in Herndon, Virginia, the Company’s shareholders have elected, by an overwhelming margin, both of ORBCOMM’s nominees—Jerome B. Eisenberg and Marco Fuchs—to its Board of Directors, with each nominee receiving over 98% of the votes cast for directors at the meeting.

On May 5, 2009, the Company was advised that in connection with the withdrawal of its nominees, Steven Chrust and Michael Miron, a group of dissident shareholders seeking representation on the Board had also withdrawn its non-binding proposal to declassify the Board. As a matter of good corporate governance and because shareholders were given the opportunity to consider and vote on this proposal, ORBCOMM presented it at the Annual Meeting. Based on the proxies submitted, the proposal to declassify ORBCOMM’s Board was not passed.

Marc Eisenberg, ORBCOMM’s Chief Executive Officer, said, “We are pleased with the overwhelming support for our Directors from our shareholders. While this proxy contest consumed a considerable amount of our time and money, and the dissidents’ proposals were misguided, ill-informed and self-serving, we believe that we will benefit from the opportunity we have had to discuss our insights and strategic plans with a broad range of our investors. We look forward to incorporating what we have learned in our discussions with shareholders. Our Board and management team can now turn our undivided attention to delivering strong performance and growing our business for shareholders.”
