For Immediate Release

GLOBALSTAR, INC. REVISES QUARTERLY AND NINE-MONTH
NET INCOME FOR A NON-CASH CHARGE

MILPITAS, CA. —  (December 14, 2006) — Globalstar, Inc. (NASDAQ:GSAT), a leading provider of mobile satellite voice and data services to businesses, government and individuals, today announced that it has revised its previously-announced net income amounts for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 to reflect a $1.7 million (net of tax) non-cash charge.  The effect of the charge was to decrease net income from $4.4 million to $2.7 million for the three-month period and from $26.1 million to $24.4 million for the nine-month period.  These changes to net income do not impact the operating income, EBITDA, service revenue or other operating information previously released.

The non-cash charge resulted from a revision in the accounting treatment of an interest rate swap, which was previously accounted for as a cash flow hedge. The Company entered into this swap in July 2006 to mitigate its variable rate loan interest exposure under its credit agreement with Wachovia Capital Markets LLC, and this change does not diminish the Company’s ability to continue to do so. The charge will also be included in a separate line item in the Company’s quarterly and year-to-date statements of operations.

A revised Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 is attached.
