Icahn Group is Commencing Litigation Today against Motorola in Delaware Chancery Court



    Carl Icahn and his affiliates ("Icahn") today released the
    attached letter to stockholders of Motorola, Inc. (NYSE MOT), urging
    stockholders to elect Frank Biondi, Jr., William R. Hambrecht, Lionel
    C. Kimerling and Keith Meister as directors of Motorola at the 2008
    annual meeting of stockholders of Motorola.

    In addition, today Icahn is filing a lawsuit in the Court of
    Chancery of the State of Delaware seeking a court order requiring
    Motorola to make certain materials demanded by Icahn from Motorola
    available for inspection.

    Mr. Icahn stated: "Over the past 12 months the statements and
    predictions of Motorola´s management and the Board about Mobile
    Devices business have too often proven to be wrong. We want to
    ascertain what the Board could have done in the exercise of its
    fiduciary duty to assure Motorola stockholders that Motorola´s
    statements and predictions were not incorrect and would not provide
    Motorola stockholders with an inaccurate perspective on the prospects
    for the Mobile Devices business."

    Mr. Icahn further stated: "We demanded these materials for the
    purposes of enabling us to investigate whether and to what extent the
    Board of Directors of Motorola failed in their duties as directors in
    supervising management and setting policy and direction of Motorola.
    We intend to share with Motorola´s stockholders information obtained
    pursuant to the request as part of our proxy battle with Motorola.
    Motorola has responded that they will not comply with our demand."

    The materials that Icahn is seeking include, among other items:

    -- any board and committee minutes and documents relating to (i)
    the service and selection of Motorola´s senior officers; (ii)
    the prospects or strategy of Motorola´s Mobile Devices
    business; and (iii) the realignment of its business regarding
    Mobile Devices, including the potential spinoff of the Mobile
    Devices business

    -- documents, if any, provided to Motorola´s Board of Directors
    regarding matters disclosed in certain of Motorola´s press
    releases and conference calls concerning the performance of
    Motorola, particularly those that contemplated improvements or
    changes in the Mobile Device business that have not
    materialized

    -- documents, if any, showing the use of Motorola´s aircraft and
    other property by members of senior management, the board of
    directors and their families, including the use of the
    aircraft for personal reasons - - including all records
    regarding reimbursements to Motorola

    The Icahn proxy statement with accompanying GOLD proxy card will
    be mailed to Motorola stockholders shortly. Stockholders are urged to
    vote for Frank Biondi, Jr., William R. Hambrecht, Lionel C. Kimerling
    and Keith Meister as directors of Motorola at the 2008 annual meeting
    of stockholders of Motorola.

    Dear Fellow Stockholder,

    As we all are painfully aware, over the past 18 months, the market
    value of Motorola has dropped by over $37 billion. More than $17 per
    share of Stockholder capital has vanished under the "guidance" and
    "leadership" of the current Board.

    Results in Motorola´s Mobile Devices business have gone from bad
    to worse ---- all under the "stewardship" of the Board and management
    that assured us during last year´s proxy contest that they had a plan
    to right the ship, a "drumbeat" of new products that would address the
    needs and desires of the worldwide markets, a software and silicon
    strategy that would drive sales and margins, and a management team
    that was up to the task..... 2008 was supposed to be a successful and
    profitable year in Mobile Devices with the potential to achieve 10%
    operating margins in the near future. Instead, the results are a
    Stockholders´ nightmare.

    Last year I argued that Motorola needed true Stockholder
    representation on the Board; unfortunately, we lost that battle in a
    close election. Motorola´s Board and management made enough empty
    promises to convince Stockholders to give them another chance to get
    it right. They didn´t. What we got instead was a year of
    revolving-door executives, a leadership vacuum, and accelerating
    deterioration at Motorola´s Mobile Devices unit.

    PROTECT YOUR INVESTMENT - VOTE FOR OUR NOMINEES

    We now have the opportunity to elect four strong individuals with
    superlative credentials to the Motorola Board. Three of these
    individuals, Frank Biondi, Jr., William R. Hambrecht and Lionel C.
    Kimerling, are independent of Icahn. In my opinion they would not only
    bring substantial intelligence and experience to the Board but would
    broaden its perspective and provide voices to challenge the chaotic
    status quo at Motorola. But most importantly, as I said last year, I
    am convinced that Motorola must have a large Stockholder on the Board.
    Icahn entities currently own approximately 145 million Motorola
    shares. Keith Meister is a top member of the Icahn team and a
    principal in our funds, which manage over $8 billion of assets. He has
    been the Chief Executive Officer/Principal Executive Officer of Icahn
    Enterprises L.P. since 2003, the stock of which has increased from $8
    to $80 per share during his tenure. He will have 145 million reasons
    to advance all Stockholders´ interests. However, the Motorola Board,
    the members of which in the aggregate own less than 1.5 million
    Motorola shares (excluding option shares), - has found that Mr.
    Meister is not "qualified." It should be noted that the nominating
    committee never even deigned to give Mr. Meister an interview, even
    though accepting Mr. Meister might avert a distracting proxy fight -
    just another example of the Board´s insular ways and flawed judgment.
    One must wonder what it takes to be board "qualified" at Motorola. Is
    it the ability to lose $37 Billion? And what "qualified" Greg Brown to
    be the CEO? He certainly - as far as I can ascertain - has no in-depth
    experience or knowledge concerning the Mobile Devices business, which
    was and is by far the major problem for Motorola. Hopefully, our
    litigation with Motorola will soon reveal just how hard our
    "blue-ribbon board" tried to find an alternative to the "qualified"
    Mr. Brown.

    I am convinced that Stockholders need to elect ALL of our
    candidates to send a message to Motorola´s management and remaining
    directors that the "status quo" at Motorola and inside its boardroom
    is no longer acceptable. It is essential to the future of Motorola
    that its directors realize that the BOARD, especially at this
    precarious time, is NOT A COUNTRY CLUB OR A FRATERNITY, and that truly
    "qualified" people whose interests are truly aligned with
    Stockholders, are needed on the Board in order to save Motorola. I
    urge all Stockholders to exercise their voting franchise AND ELECT ALL
    FOUR OF OUR NOMINEES.

    As you may know, the Board has finally announced that it is
    "studying" a restructuring at Motorola, including a possible spin off
    of Mobile Devices----a position that we have supported for months (in
    fact, in an interesting " coincidence" this announcement by Motorola
    came the day before we were required to submit the names of potential
    nominees under the Motorola bylaws). However, it has been almost two
    months and Stockholders, customers, employees and vendors are still
    waiting for Motorola´s "august" Board to make a decision. Meanwhile,
    the Mobile Devices business is melting and the Board is still
    "studying". Now is the time for action, not more indecision. It is
    therefore especially vital that we have the right people on the Board
    to drive, guide and monitor this restructuring and spin off process
    through to completion. This will provide Stockholders the best
    opportunity to get it right.

    SPIN-OFF MOBILE DEVICES WITH A NEW STRONG CEO AND RESTORE THIS
    ICONIC BRAND

    We believe that Motorola´s Board and its ever-shifting management
    team have proven themselves unable to fix Motorola. Their oft repeated
    and ultimately empty promises of better times ahead (see Motorola´s
    Record of Failed Leadership below) leave us doubting that they either
    have, or ever had, any real handle on what Motorola is doing and where
    it is heading. MOTOROLA´S STOCK PRICE OVER THE LAST YEAR TELLS THE
    STORY BETTER THAN ANY WORDS CAN.

    We are convinced that two things are necessary to restore value to
    Motorola Stockholders:

    -- Spin-off the Mobile Device operations to Stockholders as a
    wholly separate company with a new CEO. The Mobile Devices
    industry is driven by unceasing innovation and creativity,
    neither of which can exist in an organization subject to
    constant turmoil. Mobile Devices needs a new CEO and new
    management team free from the inept current leadership of
    Motorola. I believe that no new "top-notch" Mobile Devices
    management team will be willing to report to or be involved in
    any way with the current Motorola management or Board. A
    separate Mobile Devices company would have the independence
    and flexibility that, in our opinion, are required to succeed
    and achieve the potential of its iconic brand. Today,
    Motorola´s stock price reflects no value for the Mobile
    Device´s business. We believe that outside Motorola, with a
    new management team and renewed vigor, its value to both
    Stockholders and the market will become apparent.

    -- Give Stockholders a strong and capable voice in the Boardroom.
    I believe Stockholders should not be forced to tolerate the
    erosion of the value of their investment brought about by the
    lack of judgment and oversight of the current Board. When you
    consider the statements and assurances that management and the
    Board are sure to make in this proxy contest remember the
    statements and assurances given last year. A strong mandate
    from Stockholders electing all of our four nominees is, in my
    opinion, absolutely necessary to save this once great American
    company. Do not allow the past to repeat itself - elect all
    four Icahn nominees with a clear mandate for change.

    Empty Promises

    Motorola´s Record of Failed Leadership

    Consider the following statements made by Motorola´s management
    and Board over the past 18 months:

    October 17, 2006 - "With our new portfolio of mobile devices
    shipping in volume this quarter...we look forward to continued
    successes in the months and year ahead."

    Motorola shares closed at $24.85.

    January 19, 2007 - "I am confident that we remain well positioned
    for continued growth and success." ... "we will continue to execute on
    our focused, strategic plan to create value for our shareholders."

    Motorola shares closed at $19.27.

    March 21, 2007 - "the actions that we outlined in January were not
    progressing fast enough, if at all."

    Motorola shares closed at $18.74.

    April 18, 2007 - "This is a great business with a substantially
    growing market that requires a high degree of R&D investment, supply
    chain excellence, a cost structure that requires maniacal focus and
    flawless execution. We know how to do this and have done it for almost
    three years."

    Motorola shares closed at $18.22.

    May 3, 2007 - Your Board and management are also committed to
    restoring the profitability of our Mobile Devices business, and are
    executing a comprehensive plan for doing so. Mobile Devices is a great
    business in a growing market, and your Board and management have a
    strong plan for its success. Our plan draws our many years of
    unprecedented success in this challenging market, as well as the
    expertise of our newly strengthened management team. Together, we are
    taking aggressive actions to improve the performance of our Mobile
    Devices business."

    Motorola´s shares closed at $17.73.

    July 19, 2007 - "In Mobile Devices we did not achieve the level of
    sales and unit shipments that we had expected, primarily in Asia and
    the Middle East and Africa. Europe, as we have been saying all year,
    continues to be a challenge"

    Motorola shares closed at $18.22.

    September 7, 2007 - Mobile devices, as far as we´re concerned, is
    a double digit operating earnings business. We´ve been there, we know
    how to do it, and we will do it again."

    Motorola´s shares closed at $17.13.

    October 25, 2007 - "with ... the initiatives we are taking in
    Mobile Devices we will further improve our performance and create
    long-term shareholder value."

    Motorola´s shares closed at $19.30.

    January 23, 2008 - "We are ... working to get Mobile Devices back
    on track."

    Motorola´s shares closed at $10.01.

    As of the date of this letter, Motorola stock is trading at $9.25.
    Mobile Devices has run through four unit heads. Its market share has
    been almost halved since the fourth quarter of 2006. Sales have
    plummeted. Operating income has fallen from $2.7 billion in 2006 to a
    loss of $700 million in 2007 and increased losses are projected in the
    first quarter of 2008. Meanwhile, Motorola´s corporate leadership has
    been in constant turmoil. Motorola has had two CEO´s and three CFO´s
    in little over a year.

    The board of a public company is there to oversee management and
    help guide the company, not man the turnstiles of the executive suite.
    A board´s purpose is to provide stability and direction. A significant
    Stockholder presence on Motorola´s Board might have helped avoid the
    staggering failure of leadership at Motorola. Stockholders have
    suffered and Motorola has been damaged. We are convinced that your
    vote for our nominees can help prevent further harm. Consider the
    backgrounds of our highly qualified nominees:

    Frank Biondi, Jr.

    Mr. Frank Biondi, Jr. is well recognized as a senior executive
    with substantial experience, including nearly a decade as President
    and Chief Executive Officer of Viacom, Inc. Mr. Biondi is a director
    of Amgen Inc., Cablevision Systems Corp., Hasbro, Inc., The Bank of
    New York Company, Inc. and Seagate Technology.

    William R. Hambrecht

    Mr. William R. Hambrecht is the Founder, Chairman and Chief
    Executive Officer of WR Hambrecht & Co., which was instrumental in
    persuading Google to use an Internet-based auction for their initial
    public offering. He also co-founded Hambrecht & Quist, an
    internationally recognized leader as an investment banker to high
    technology entities, with early involvement in companies such as Apple
    Computer, Genentech and Adobe Systems. Hambrecht & Quist was sold to
    the Chase Manhattan Bank in 1999.

    Lionel C. Kimerling

    Lionel C. Kimerling is the Thomas Lord Professor of Materials
    Science and Engineering at Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
    Since 1993, Mr. Kimerling has been Director of the MIT Materials
    Processing Center where he conducts an active research program in the
    structure, properties and processing of semiconductor materials, and
    since 1997 he has been Director of the MIT Microphotonics Center.
    Prior to joining the MIT faculty, he was Head of the Materials Physics
    Research Department at AT&T Bell Laboratories from 1981 to 1990.

    Keith Meister

    Keith Meister has been the Chief Executive Officer/Principal
    Executive Officer of Icahn Enterprises L.P. since 2003, the stock of
    which has increased from $8 to $80 per share during his tenure. Mr.
    Meister also serves as a Managing Director and senior member of the
    investment team of the Icahn investment funds which manage over $8
    billion of assets. He also serves on the boards of directors of XO
    Holdings, Inc., WCI Communities, Inc., and Federal-Mogul Corporation.

    We urge you to support the election of ALL FOUR OF OUR NOMINEES.
    Help us bring significant and, we believe, sorely needed Stockholder
    representation, to the Motorola Board.

    Sincerely,

    Carl C. Icahn
