Exhibit 99.2
GHL Acquisition Corp. Announces Warrant Restructuring

| ● | Approximately 26.8 Million Additional Warrants Eliminated or Restructured

| ● | Improves Transaction Economics for Shareholders

| ● | Meaningfully Reduces Post-Closing Warrant Overhang

NEW YORK, July 29, 2009 – GHL Acquisition Corp. (“GHL Acquisition”) (NYX: GHQ, GHQ.U and GHQ.WS) announced today that it has entered into agreements with certain warrantholders as a result of which approximately 26.8 million GHL Acquisition warrants will be repurchased or restructured upon closing of its acquisition of Iridium Holdings LLC (“Iridium”). The warrants subject to these agreements, combined with those subject to an agreement with Banc of America Securities LLC (“Banc of America”) previously disclosed, represent approximately 69% of the 44.1 million warrants that would otherwise have been outstanding following the acquisition of Iridium. These repurchases and restructurings are in addition to all previously announced warrant forfeitures by Greenhill & Co., Inc. (“Greenhill”) (NYSE: GHL), the sponsor of GHL Acquisition. The effect of the agreements with warrantholders is to significantly reduce the number of fully diluted GHL Acquisition shares that will be outstanding following completion of the acquisition of Iridium. The acquisition of Iridium remains subject to Federal Communications Commission approval, as well as approval by GHL Acquisition shareholders.
Scott L. Bok, Chief Executive Officer of GHL Acquisition, commented: “We believe that the warrant restructuring announced today, in combination with a number of steps we have already taken, further increases the attractiveness of our proposed acquisition of Iridium. Prior to today, we had negotiated a 15% reduction in the originally agreed purchase price of Iridium, reduced our underwriter’s deferred underwriting fee by approximately $8.2 million, agreed to repurchase approximately 3.7 million warrants held by our underwriter at a discount and agreed with our sponsor, Greenhill, that it will forfeit approximately 12.4 million warrants. Today’s announcement, combined with the continuing attractiveness of Iridium’s business, makes us more enthusiastic than ever about the valuation at which we are acquiring the company.”
Summary terms of today’s warrant restructuring are as follows:

| · | Approximately 12.4 million existing warrants will be repurchased by GHL Acquisition for a total of approximately $3.1 million of cash and approximately $12.4 million of GHL Acquisition common shares, with the number of shares to be determined based on the offering price per common share of GHL Acquisition (subject to a minimum of one-tenth of a share per warrant) in a future equity offering which will be conditioned upon the closing of the Iridium acquisition.

| · | Approximately 14.4 million existing warrants will be restructured to increase their strike price to 115% of the offering price per common share of GHL Acquisition (subject to a maximum strike price of $11.50) in a future equity offering which will be conditioned upon the closing of the Iridium acquisition and will have their expiration date extended

|  | by two years to February 2015. The approximately 14.4 million warrants being restructured in this manner include the 4.0 million remaining private placement warrants held by Greenhill that have not been forfeited and 0.4 million warrants currently held by Scott L. Bok, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of GHL Acquisition, and Robert H. Niehaus, Senior Vice President of GHL Acquisition.

| · | The above warrant repurchases and restructurings are in addition to the previously announced repurchase of approximately 3.7 million warrants currently owned by Banc of America for approximately $1.8 million in aggregate and to Greenhill’s previously announced forfeitures of approximately 12.4 million warrants, both of which will occur concurrently with the closing of the Iridium acquisition, should it occur.

| · | After reflecting today’s agreement, Greenhill’s stake in GHL Acquisition post-closing will include: (i) approximately 6.9 million GHL Acquisition common shares, which it received for founding GHL Acquisition and making an $8 million initial investment; (ii) upon conversion, approximately 1.9 million GHL Acquisition common shares resulting from conversion of its $22.9 million convertible note investment in Iridium; and (iii) 4.0 million GHL Acquisition warrants with an out-of-the-money strike price as described above.

| · | At the closing of the acquisition, including the effects of all warrant restructurings announced to date, there will be approximately 13.7 million GHL Acquisition warrants with a $7.00 strike price outstanding and approximately 14.4 million GHL Acquisition warrants with an out-of-the-money strike price as described above.

GHL Acquisition currently anticipates that the agreements announced today will constitute the last adjustment of valuation-related or other terms of the planned acquisition and currently anticipates holding its shareholder vote on the Iridium acquisition in September 2009. Closing of the acquisition is subject to, and will occur as soon as practicable following, a favorable shareholder vote and also remains subject to approval by the Federal Communications Commission.
