Concurrently with the offering of bonds convertible into and/or exchangeable for new or existing shares of Alcatel-Lucent (the "Bonds") on September 2, 2009, Alcatel-Lucent (Euronext Paris and NYSE: ALU) announced its intention to repurchase 2011 OCEANEs, up to a maximum amount of EUR204.5 millions, being 20 % of 2011 OCEANEs initially issued and currently outstanding, depending on indications of interest in selling received as part of a reverse bookbuilding process exclusively for persons or entities outside the United States of America. The bookbuilding for the Bonds and the reverse bookbuilding for the repurchase of the 2011 OCEANEs are independent from one another. Allotments of Bonds are not subject to the indications of interest from holders of the 2011 OCEANEs in selling such OCEANEs.

At the end of this process, Alcatel-Lucent will repurchase, in off-market transactions, exclusively from persons or entities outside the United States of America, 7,565,882 2011 OCEANEs for a total amount of EUR126,350,229.40, being 11.97% of 2011 OCEANEs initially issued and currently outstanding, at the price determined at the end of this process, i.e., EUR16.70 per 2011 OCEANE including accrued interest. This repurchase will occur after the close of Euronext Paris, on September 11, 2009 (being the trading day following the settlement and delivery date of the Bonds which will occur on September 10, 2009 according to the indicative timetable) and subject to the condition precedent of such settlement and delivery.

In the event that the Bonds are not issued, Alcatel-Lucent would not repurchase the 2011 OCEANEs. The Bonds would not be issued in the event of the termination of or default relating to the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the offering of the Bonds.

The repurchased 2011 OCEANEs will be cancelled as provided in their issue contract and pursuant to law.

Alcatel Lucent: Alcatel-Lucent completes the world's first data call on a live LTE network in the

Alcatel-Lucent (Euronext and NYSE: ALU) successfully completed the worldwide first long term evolution (LTE) data call on the 800 MHz 'European Digital Dividend' (EDD) spectrum band in a live network. The call was completed in October at Alcatel-Lucent's 4G/LTE end-to-end solutions center in Stuttgart, Germany, involved transmitting high-definition video streaming over the air using Alcatel-Lucent's commercial infrastructure platforms and prototype mobile devices.

This first EDD call in a live LTE network marks a milestone for the introduction of LTE in the European market, and highlights Alcatel-Lucent's readiness to provide mobile operators with a commercial solution as soon as regulatory decisions on EDD will be made. In Germany, for instance, a frequency auction including the 800 MHz spectrum band is expected to take place in the 2nd quarter of 2010. The 800 MHz spectrum is particularly well suited to bringing mobile broadband Internet services to rural areas.

'This is a major breakthrough on our path to become the first vendor to offer a commercial solution for the 'Digital Dividend' spectrum', said Ken Wirth, President of Alcatel-Lucent's LTE/4G Solutions. 'Our goal is to quickly and effectively support operators in their plans to further enhance the availability of broadband services all over the region, so we adapted our LTE solution to the 800 MHz frequency band quite early on and we are now working with customers on field trials.'

Deploying LTE at 800MHz has a clear benefit for operators which can require fewer sites to cover rural areas, thus reducing overall environmental impact.

800 MHz spectrum LTE deployment could be an ideal complement to a 2.6GHz spectrum LTE deployment where smaller cells are required, in a dense urban environment for example. Alcatel-Lucent has live 2.6GHz LTE networks in Stuttgart and Velizy in France and its 2.6GHz radio modules are CE marked, clearing the way for shipment of 2.6GHz LTE base stations in the European Economic Area (EEA).

Background on the 4G/LTE solutions center in Stuttgart

At its German headquarters located in Stuttgart, Alcatel-Lucent has installed an end-to-end solutions center for 4G/LTE. The solutions center consists of a complete LTE end-to-end network, including an 'on the air' radio network in the Northern District of Stuttgart. For several months Alcatel-Lucent has been successfully testing 4G/LTE mobile services on the 2.6GHz spectrum band. In these tests, Alcatel-Lucent achieved very high data rates of up to 60 Mbit/s in the 10 MHz spectrum and very short round-trip delay, or 'latency' times. The tests include innovative LTE-enabled applications which give mobile users a rich experience comparable to that available on fixed networks today.

Background on Alcatel-Lucent's LTE position

Alcatel-Lucent is a leading player in LTE, and is actively engaged in the majority of LTE projects being pursued by operators around the world, including both commercial deployment and trials with operators including Verizon Wireless, Telefonica, Etisalat, FT/Orange and NTT DoCoMo.

Research and Markets: Market Share: 1Q09 Optical Networks, Global and Regional - Zibb.com

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/c35c29/market_share_1q09) has announced the addition of the "Market Share: 1Q09 Optical Networks, Global and Regional" report to their offering.

Huawei blew the doors off what is typically a seasonally slow quarter by posting $790 million in optical networking (ON) revenues compared with traditional market leader Alcatel-Lucent's $639 million. The Chinese and Indian markets are on fire while North America remains ice-cold, which, coupled with the strength of the US dollar compared with the euro, has helped Huawei and ZTE and hurt Alcatel-Lucent, Nortel, Nokia Siemens, Cisco, and others. Spending of $3.5 billion for the quarter is largely in line with our $15.4 billion forecast for the year.

Key Topics Covered:

Executive summary

In a nutshell

Ovum view

1Q09 quarterly results

Changes to our ON share reporting, commencing 1Q09

Global spending down 18% from 4Q08 and 9% from 1Q08

Key messages

Battle of the titans: Huawei upsets Alcatel-Lucent to grab the 1Q09 lead; Alcatel-Lucent hangs onto the annualized share leadfor now

Changes in top ten market positions: ZTE and Ciena move up, Nokia Siemens and Tellabs move down

Macroeconomic malaise, differentially severe in North America and western Europe, is a significant factor in share changes but it's not the only factor: strategy matters
