APPENDIX I. OVERVIEW As described in the pending applications for transfer of control and petition for declaratory ruling, Inceptum 1 AS (“Inceptum”), which is seeking Commission consent to acquire Telenor Satellite Services AS (“TSS”) and its indirect wholly owned FCC-authorized subsidiaries, is ultimately owned by three entities. Apax France VI FCPR, a fonds commun de placement à risques incorporated under French law (“Apax France VI”), holds 72% of the share capital and voting rights of Inceptum. Amboise Investissement SCA (“Amboise”) and Altamir & Cie SCA (“Altamir”) hold respectively 20% and 8% of the share capital and voting rights of Inceptum.1 Similarly, MobSat S.A.S. (“MobSat”), which has acquired control of FTMSC US, LLC (“FTMSC”), is owned by Apax France VI, Amboise, and Altamir, each of which holds the same percentage investment in MobSat as it does in Inceptum.2 The information provided in this Appendix updates and supplements the information previously submitted to the Commission in the Inceptum Consolidated Application and in the MobSat Applications, MobSat Supplement and pending FTMSC requests for special temporary authority, File Nos. ITC-STA-20070301-00092 and SES-STA-20070216-00243. II. ANSWERS TO COMMISSION QUESTIONS CONCERNING INCEPTUM AND MOBSAT OWNERSHIP Answers to the Commission staff’s questions regarding the ownership of Inceptum and MobSat are provided below. There is substantial overlap between the information sought in the two sets of questions. To simplify matters, we are providing a single answer where the information sought is substantially the same. Inceptum Question 1: Please provide the equity interest, if any, that each general partner holds in Apax France VI, Amboise and Altamir. 1 Telenor ASA, Transferor, and Inceptum 1 AS, Transferee, Consolidated Application for Consent to Transfer of Control and Petition for Declaratory Ruling, IB Dkt No. 06-225, FCC File Nos. ISP-PDR-20061129-00017, et al. (“Inceptum Consolidated Application”) at 5-6. At the time the application was filed, Apax France VI, Amboise and Altamir were direct shareholders of Inceptum. The application, however, contemplated the creation of intermediate holding companies through which the Inceptum shares would be held. As discussed below, these holding companies have now been established, and the Inceptum shares are currently held through this holding company structure. 2 See Amendment to Application for Section 214 Authority, File No. ITC-AMC- 20060804-00388, Amendment to Earth Station Application, File No. SES-AMD-20060804- 01315, and Petition for Declaratory Ruling, File No. ISP-PDR-20060804-00010 (collectively, the “MobSat Applications”); Letter of William K. Coulter to Marlene H. Dortch dated Sept. 7, 2006 providing supplemental information (“MobSat Supplement”). 1
