DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

Terran Orbital Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Registrant”), is filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) these post-effective amendments (these “Post-Effective Amendments”) to deregister any and all shares of the Registrant’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), previously registered under the following Registration Statements on Form S-8 (collectively, the “Registration Statements”) that remain unsold or otherwise unissued under each such Registration Statement as of the date hereof (note that the share numbers listed below do not take into account corporate actions taken in the interim):

On October 30, 2024, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated August 15, 2024, by and among the Registrant, Lockheed Martin Corporation, a Maryland corporation (“Parent”), and Tholian Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), Merger Sub merged with and into the Registrant (the “Merger”), with the Registrant continuing as the surviving corporation of the Merger and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. These Post-Effective Amendments are being filed as a result of the Merger.

As a result of the Merger and by filing these Post-Effective Amendments, the Registrant has terminated any and all offerings of its Common Stock pursuant to the Registration Statements and hereby removes from registration any of the shares of Common Stock registered but unsold or otherwise unissued under the Registration Statements as of the date hereof. This filing is made in accordance with an undertaking made by the Registrant in Part II of each Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any securities that had been registered for issuance but remain unsold at the termination of the offering. After giving effect to these Post-Effective Amendments, there will be no remaining shares of Common Stock registered by the Registrant pursuant to the Registration Statements.

The foregoing description of the Merger, the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the Merger Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 2.1 to the Registrant’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 21, 2024.
