Item 1.01
Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Merger Agreement
On July 22, 2012, DigitalGlobe, Inc., a
Delaware corporation ("DigitalGlobe") entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement")
with GeoEye, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("GeoEye"), 20/20 Acquisition Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly
owned subsidiary of DigitalGlobe ("Merger Sub"), and WorldView, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly
owned subsidiary of DigitalGlobe ("Merger Sub 2"), pursuant to which, at the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective
Time"), Merger Sub will be merged with and into GeoEye (the "Merger") and the separate corporate existence of
Merger Sub will cease and GeoEye will continue as the surviving corporation in the Merger (the "Surviving Corporation")
and immediately after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation will be merged with and into Merger Sub 2 (the "Subsequent
Merger" and, together with the Merger, the "Combination") and the separate corporate existence of the Surviving
Corporation will cease and Merger Sub 2 will continue as the surviving company in the Subsequent Merger. The Combination is intended
to qualify as a reorganization for federal income tax purposes.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement and upon
the terms and subject to the conditions described therein, at the Effective Time, (A) each issued and outstanding share of common
stock, par value $0.01 per share, of GeoEye ("GeoEye Common Stock") will be converted into the right to receive either
(i) with respect to which an election to receive a combination of stock and cash consideration has been effectively made, the combination
("Mixed Consideration") of (x) $4.10 in cash and (y) 1.137 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of DigitalGlobe
("DigitalGlobe Common Stock"), (ii) with respect to which an election to receive all cash consideration has been effectively
made, $20.27 in cash without interest (subject to proration) or (iii) with respect to which an election to receive all stock consideration
has been effectively made, 1.425 shares of DigitalGlobe Common Stock (subject to proration) and (B) each issued and outstanding
share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of GeoEye ("GeoEye Preferred Stock") will be converted into the right
to receive (i) 1.000 share of a newly-designated series of preferred stock of DigitalGlobe ("DigitalGlobe Preferred Stock")
and (ii) $4.10 in cash for each share of GeoEye Common Stock into which such share of GeoEye Preferred Stock is convertible immediately
prior to the Effective Time. If a holder of GeoEye Common Stock does not make an election as set forth above, such stockholder
will receive Mixed Consideration.
The consummation of the Combination is subject
to obtaining the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of GeoEye Common Stock approving the merger and a majority
of the outstanding shares of DigitalGlobe Common Stock represented at the DigitalGlobe stockholders meeting in person or by proxy
approving the issuance of DigitalGlobe common stock and assumption of certain GeoEye equity plans in the merger. The consummation
of the Combination is also subject to the satisfaction of certain regulatory conditions, including the expiration of the applicable
waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and approval of the Federal Communications
Commission.
The Merger Agreement contains representations
and warranties and covenants customary for a transaction of this nature.
The Merger Agreement contains certain termination
rights for both DGI and GeoEye. Upon termination of the Merger Agreement in specified circumstances, DGI or GeoEye would be required
to pay the other a termination fee of $20 million.
In accordance with the Merger Agreement,
upon consummation of the Combination, the DigitalGlobe board of directors will consist of ten members, six of which will be appointed
by DigitalGlobe and four of which will be appointed by GeoEye's current board of directors (including one director selected
by Cerberus Capital Management, L.P., GeoEye's largest stockholder).
The representations and warranties of DigitalGlobe
contained in the Merger Agreement have been made solely for the benefit of GeoEye. In addition, such representations and warranties
(A) have been made only for purposes of the Merger Agreement, (B) have been qualified by documents filed with, or furnished to,
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") by the Company on or after January 1, 2010 and prior to the date
of the Merger Agreement, (C) have been qualified by confidential disclosures made to GeoEye in connection with the Merger Agreement,
(D) are subject to materiality qualifications contained in the Merger Agreement which may differ from what may be viewed as material
by investors, (E) were made only as of the date of the Merger Agreement or such other date as is specified in the Merger Agreement
and (F) have been included in the Merger Agreement for the purpose of allocating risk between the contracting parties rather than
establishing matters as facts. Accordingly, the Merger Agreement is included with this filing only to provide investors with information
regarding the terms of the Merger Agreement, and not to provide investors with any other factual information regarding DigitalGlobe
or its business. Investors should not rely on the representations and warranties or any descriptions thereof as characterizations
of the actual state of facts or condition of DigitalGlobe or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates. Moreover, information concerning
the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Merger Agreement, which subsequent information
may or may not be fully reflected in the DigitalGlobe's public disclosures. The Merger Agreement should not be read alone,
but should instead be read in conjunction with the other information regarding DigitalGlobe that has been, is or will be contained
in, or incorporated by reference into, the  Forms 10-K, Forms 10-Q, Forms 8-K, proxy statements, registration statements and other
documents that DigitalGlobe files with the SEC.
The foregoing description of the Merger
Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1
hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

other extraordinary transaction, involving DigitalGlobe or any of its subsidiaries unless the DigitalGlobe board of directors
has recommended that DigitalGlobe stockholders sell or transfer their securities in connection with such transaction.
During Standstill Period I, the Cerberus Parties may

DigitalGlobe common stock, including any DigitalGlobe securities on an as-converted basis, by the Cerberus Parties and their
affiliates would not at any time be in excess of 11.35% of the outstanding DigitalGlobe common stock.
During Standstill Period II, the Cerberus Parties may acquire

Parties and their affiliates would not at any time be in excess of 19.9% of the outstanding DigitalGlobe common stock, including
the DigitalGlobe preferred stock on an as-converted basis.
"Standstill Period I" is defined in the Cerberus Agreement
to mean the period beginning on July 22, 2012 and ending on either (A) the closing date of the Merger or (B) if the Merger Agreement
is terminated, the date the Cerberus Parties and their affiliates cease to beneficially own any shares of DigitalGlobe common stock.
"Standstill Period II" is defined in the Cerberus
Agreement to mean the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the date that is 12 months after the Cerberus Parties

including the DigitalGlobe preferred stock on an as-converted basis.
Pursuant to the Cerberus Agreement and the Merger Agreement,
the Cerberus Parties have the right to appoint one director to the DigitalGlobe board of directors with a term to expire at the
2014 DigitalGlobe annual meeting of stockholders.

herein by reference.

Such statements are based upon current plans, estimates and expectations that are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions.
The inclusion of such statements should not be regarded as a representation that such plans, estimates or expectations will be
achieved. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from such plans, estimates or expectations include,
among others, that (1) one or more closing conditions to the transaction may not be satisfied or waived, on a timely basis or otherwise,
including that a governmental entity may prohibit, delay or refuse to grant approval for the consummation of the transaction or

conditions outside of the companies' control, transaction costs and actual or contingent liabilities; (9) the outcome of any legal
proceedings related to the transaction; and (10) other risk factors as detailed from time to time in DigitalGlobe's and GeoEye's

that it will close within the anticipated time period or that the expected benefits of the strategic combination will be realized.
Neither DigitalGlobe nor GeoEye undertakes
any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statement
is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any of these
