TerreStar Global Announces Capital Raise



    TerreStar Global Ltd. ("TerreStar Global"), a majority-owned
    subsidiary of TerreStar Corporation (formerly Motient Corporation)
    ("TerreStar"), announced today that it intends to offer securities in
    a private offering. While neither the terms of the securities nor the
    amount of the proposed financing have been determined, TerreStar
    anticipates that the ultimate effect of the financing will be to
    dilute its ownership interest in TerreStar Global to below 50%. There
    can be no assurance that the financing will be completed. TerreStar
    Global intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to commence
    the construction of its satellite, TerreStar-EUR, to secure European 2
    GHz MSS S-band spectrum through participation in the European
    milestone review process, and for general corporate purposes.

    TerreStar Global's private offering, which is subject to market
    and other customary conditions, will be made within the United States
    only to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the
    Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") and outside
    the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act.
    The securities have not been registered under the Securities Act, or
    the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction, and may not be
    offered or sold in the United States without registration or an
    applicable exemption from the Securities Act.

    This announcement is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation
    of an offer to buy TerreStar Global securities.
