Satellite manufacturer Terran Orbital is "looking at everything" regarding the company's future, CEO Marc Bell told CNBC, as it considers Lockheed Martin' s acquisition offer.
"We found out about [Lockheed's takeover bid] when the rest of the world found out about it," Bell said on CNBC's "Manifest Space" podcast.
The defense giant is already a significant stakeholder in Terran Orbital, with a 28.3% stake at the time of the proposal.
Terran Orbital declined to comment on a shareholder lawsuit filed Wednesday in response to the company's board adopting a "poison pill" stock rights plan after Lockheed's offer.
Bell added that Terran Orbital is "thrilled with the validation" that Lockheed's offer gave it.
