See Robert M. Franklin, Transferor and Inmarsat, PLC, Transferee, Consolidated Application for Consent to Transfer of Control of Stratos Global Corporation and Its Subsidiaries from an Irrevocable Trust to Inmarsat, plc, Memorandum Opinion and Order and Declaratory Ruling, 24 FCC Rcd 449 (IB 2009). Accordingly, the reorganization does not raise any foreign ownership issues. 3

Answer to Question 13 Description of Transaction Before the pro forma transfer, Stratos Holdings was a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of Stratos Wireless Inc. (“Stratos Wireless”) (a Canadian corporation). In turn, Stratos Wireless was a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of Stratos Global Corporation (“Stratos Global”) (also a Canadian corporation), which was a wholly-owned subsidiary of CIP Canada Investment Inc. (“CIP Canada”), an indirect subsidiary of Inmarsat. In connection with the pro forma transfer of control, Stratos Wireless and Stratos Global were merged, with Stratos Wireless emerging as the surviving entity. Immediately thereafter, CIP Canada was merged with Stratos Wireless, with Stratos Wireless again emerging as the surviving entity. The net effect of these mergers is that Stratos Global and CIP Canada have been removed from the chain of ownership between Inmarsat and Stratos Holdings, with Stratos Holdings remaining under the ultimate ownership and control of Inmarsat. The Commission has previously stated that in situations, such as the instant reorganization, where no substantial change of control will occur, “grant of the application is deemed presumptively in the public interest.”4 4 See Federal Communications Bar Association’s Petition for Forbearance from Section 310(d) of the Communications Act Regarding Non-Substantial Assignments of Wireless Licenses and Transfers of Control Involving Telecommunications Carriers, 13 FCC Rcd 6293, 6295 (1998). 4
