Court Enters Judgment in ICO Litigation Against Boeing

RESTON, Va.--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--ICO Global Communications (Holdings) Limited (NASDAQ:ICOG) today announced that the Los Angeles Superior Court has entered judgment on the verdict the company received in its litigation against The Boeing Company and its Boeing Satellite Services International subsidiary (collectively, "Boeing") (NYSE:BA). The judgment amount is $631,067,767.00. The judgment consists of compensatory damages of $371 million and punitive damages of $236 million, which the jury awarded in October 2008, plus pre-judgment interest. Beginning January 2, 2009, post-judgment interest will accrue on the full judgment amount at the rate of 10% per annum (simple interest), or $63,106,777.00 per year. Based on available information, ICO believes that the judgment represents the largest jury verdict of 2008.

"The entry of judgment on the verdict is another important step in ICO's long running efforts to obtain compensation for its shareholders for Boeing's fraud, tortious interference and breach of contract," commented John Flynn, executive vice president, general counsel and secretary for ICO. "We once again thank the jury for their dedicated service in this case. We are disappointed that the court did not include in the judgment the full amount of interest that ICO believes it is entitled to under the jury's verdict."

The judgment is subject to post-judgment motions, appeal and collection.
