MCLEAN, Va, March 09, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Iridium Communications Inc. (NYSE:IRDM) announced today that it continues to advance through the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS) recognition process. This past week, the IMO Subcommittee on Navigation, Communication and Search and Rescue (NCSR) discussed its assessment of Iridium as a future GMDSS service provider. The Subcommittee noted broad support among the delegations to incorporate Iridium as a mobile satellite GMDSS provider, and consequently recommended continuing progress towards recognition of Iridium as a GMDSS service provider. “We welcome the support of the international community and the IMO, and look forward to moving to the next phase in support of providing GMDSS services,” said Brian Pemberton, vice president and general manager of aviation and maritime businesses at Iridium. “The IMO Subcommittee on NCSR recognized the work that Iridium has undertaken to demonstrate the functionality required to provide GMDSS services. Once we satisfy the outstanding items contained in the IMO report, Iridium can be recommended for recognition as a GMDSS service provider.” The Iridium network is comprised of 66 low-Earth orbit (LEO), cross-linked satellites that span the entire globe, including the poles. The constellation delivers reliable, low-latency communications anywhere on the planet, making it an ideal network to support maritime safety communications. Currently, only one satellite network serves the GMDSS carriage requirements - and it is approaching retirement. The addition of Iridium will provide the maritime industry with a choice of satellite technology for GMDSS communications, and will provide mariners with the redundancy of safety services that they deserve.

Robert B. Webster to be Nominated to Hawaiian Telcom Board
HONOLULU, March 14, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hawaiian Telcom Holdco, Inc. (NASDAQ:HCOM) (“Hawaiian Telcom” or the “Company”) announced today that it has entered into a Nomination, Standstill and Support Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Twin Haven Capital Partners L.L.C. and certain affiliated entities, including two funds managed thereby (collectively, “Twin Haven”). The California-based investment firm has been a substantial shareholder since the Company first became publicly traded in 2010. Since then, Twin Haven has continued to support the company by increasing its ownership share. Twin Haven is now Hawaiian Telcom’s second largest shareholder, with approximately 22 percent of Hawaiian Telcom’s common shares. Under the Agreement, Robert B. Webster (or another Twin Haven representative) will be nominated to Hawaiian Telcom’s Board of Directors at each of the Company’s next three annual stockholders’ meetings. With this nomination, the Company continues to enhance shareholder representation on its board. “We are pleased that this Agreement enables Twin Haven and Rob to positively and actively engage with us,” said Scott K. Barber, Hawaiian Telcom’s President and CEO. “A seasoned board member with deep financial and telecommunications experience, Rob will be a valuable addition to our Board. I’m confident that he will make a positive impact on our Company as we continue to grow the business and reinforce our standing as Hawaii’s Technology Leader.” Webster is a co-founder and Senior Managing Director of Twin Haven and Portfolio Manager of Twin Haven’s Special Opportunities Funds. He is an experienced board member, having served on the boards of 11 different companies across a diverse array of industries, including several in the telecommunications industry. Prior to launching Twin Haven, Webster was a Managing Director at Pequot Capital Management, Inc. where he served as Portfolio Manager of the Special Opportunities Funds that were subsequently transitioned to Twin Haven at its founding. His prior career experience also includes tenure as a senior investment professional at the private investment firm that previously founded Global Crossing, as well as service as a Senior Vice President at Global Crossing (which was subsequently acquired by Level 3). His career experience also includes tenure as a partner at KPMG. Webster received a bachelor’s degree in economics from the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) and was formerly a Certified Public Accountant. “I look forward to joining Hawaiian Telcom’s Board at this critical time in the company’s rich history,” said Webster. “I believe that, as a result of the company's significant investment in its technology platforms, services and people, it enjoys a strong strategic position that can be leveraged moving forward. I look forward to working together with the other members of the Board and the management team to further the common goal of serving customers and maximizing Hawaiian Telcom’s shareholder value.” The Agreement also provides for the Company’s support if Twin Haven should opt to increase its ownership stake to up to 31.5 percent.
