       direct or indirect ten percent or greater interest in Intelsat Global Holdings S.A.:1

  The exact percentage will depend on the number of common shares issued and sold, which is
dependent on market prospects, and thus not currently ascertainable. Intelsat will provide exact
ownership percentages for all ten percent or greater shareholders in its notice of consummation
following the proposed transfer of control.
