    Iridium Going Public Through Merger with GHQ
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                        Iridium will enter the public markets through a combination
                        with GHL Acquisition Corp. ("GHQ"), a special purpose
                        acquisition company that raised $400 million in its IPO in
                        2008

                        The Iridium/GHQ transaction leaves Iridium's current owners
                        with a meaningful ongoing stake in the combined company,
                        aligning incentives

    []   Iridium and GHQ will combine via an acquisition of Iridium by GHQ
         >    GHQ will be renamed Iridium Communications Inc. and be NYSE-listed
         >    Acquisition yields meaningful tax benefits going forward

    []   Iridium's current owners will receive the following consideration
         >    $77.1 million of cash
         >    29.4 million shares (plus 1.95 million shares issued for Greenhill
              convertible note)
         >    $25.5 million of cash (90 days post-closing) for facilitating tax
              step-up

    [ ]  Greenhill and Iridium's current owners have agreed to meaningful share
         lockups
         >    One-year lockup, except sales via underwritten secondary offerings
              approved by Board of Directors after six months
         >    Transaction progressing according to plan
         >    Awaiting FCC approval
         >    Anticipated closing in the third quarter

         >    Satellite operations outsourced to Boeing

    [] Substantial scale
         >    Very high operating profit margin on service revenues
         >    ~4 - 5x increase in subscribers possible with existing infrastructure

    []   Rapid growth (compound annual rates from 2002 - 2008):
         >    Subscriber growth of 32%
         >    Revenue growth of 29%
         >    Operational EBITDA growth(1) of 135% (2004 - 2008)

    (1)  Operational EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and excludes revenue
         and expenses associated with next generation constellation deployment that
         cannot be capitalized as well as non-recurring costs associated with
         financing activities including the GHQ transaction. See page 20 for an
         explanation of why Operational EBITDA is presented and a reconciliation to
         the most directly comparable GAAP metric.

         >    New services (such as Aero OpenPort, "push to talk" netted service
              and iGPS)

    []   Expanding Sales Coverage
         >    Expected entry into new geographic markets through licensing in
              large, high-growth markets (e.g. China, Mexico, Russia, India)
         >    Continually adding new VARs, service providers, manufacturers and
              developers

    (1) Operational EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and excludes revenue and
        expenses associated with next generation constellation deployment that
        cannot be capitalized as well as non-recurring costs associated with
        financing activities including the GHQ transaction. See page 20 for an
        explanation of why Operational EBITDA is presented and a reconciliation to
        the most directly comparable GAAP metric. 19

    Operational EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and management believes it
    is the most comparable measure to GAAP net income. Operational EBITDA
    represents earnings before interest; income taxes; depreciation and
    amortization; Iridium NEXT (second-generation system development) revenue and
    expenses; and expenses associated with the proposed transaction with GHQ.
    Additionally, Operational EBITDA does not include the impact of purchase
    accounting and other transaction-related adjustments that will be reflected in
    the post- transaction performance. Operational EBITDA does not represent and
    should not be considered an alternative to GAAP measurements, such as net
    income, and the company's calculations thereof may not be comparable to
    similarly entitled measures reported by other companies. Management uses
    operational EBITDA to manage the company's business including preparation of
    its annual operating budget, financial projections and compensation plans.

    The company uses operational EBITDA as a supplemental measure for operating
    performance because, by eliminating interest, taxes, depreciation and
    amortization, transaction expenses and Iridium NEXT revenue and expenses, the
    company believes it is a useful measure across time in evaluating the company's
    performance. The company believes that operational EBITDA is also useful to
    investors because like measures are frequently used by securities analysts,
    investors and other interested parties in their evaluation of companies in
    similar industries. As indicated, operational EBITDA does not include interest
    expense on borrowed money or depreciation expense on our capital assets or the
    payment of income taxes, which are necessary elements of the company's
    operations. Because operational EBITDA does not account for these expenses, its
    utility as a measure of the company's operating performance has material
    limitations. Because of these limitations, the company's management does not
    view operational EBITDA in isolation and also uses other measurements, such as
    net income, revenues and operating profit, to measure operating performance.
    Iridium's calculations of operational EBITDA may also differ from the
    calculation of operational EBITDA or like measures by its competitors and other
    companies and, as such, their utility as comparative measures is limited.
