Company Reorganization
On October 6, 2000, Orbital Imaging Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("ORBIMAGE") reorganized its operations in order to facilitate greater coordination and delegate more accountability and profit and loss responsibilities within the company. ORBIMAGE believes that the reorganization will enable ORBIMAGE to align its headcount with its current funding levels and the anticipated launch dates of its OrbView-4 and -3 high-resolution imaging satellites in 2001. The reorganization resulted in a headcount reduction of 20 employees.
