Current Licensee:   Reliance Globalcom Limited
FROM: Reliance Globalcom Limited
TO:        Reliance Globalcom Limited, Debtor-in-Possession
Notification filed October 4, 2019, of the pro forma assignment of the cable landing license for the FLAG Atlantic-1 system,
SCL-LIC-1990301-00005 and SCL-MOD-20040211-00006, from Reliance Globalcom Limited (RGL) to Reliance Globalcom Limited,
Debtor-in-Possession (RGL DIP), effective September 15, 2019. RGL and certain of its affiliates, as well as its controlling parent, GCX Limited,
filed for bankruptcy protection under chapter 11 in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware on September 15, 2019, and
concurrently filed a Joint Pre-packaged Chapter 11 Plan of GCX Limited as Debtor and its Debtor Affiliates. During the pendency of the
bankruptcy proceeding, Michael Katzenstein, RGL DIP's Chief Restructuring Officer, will oversee management and operations of RGL and the
FLAG Atlantic-1 cable system.

Reliance Communications Limited (RCOM), which holds a 100% indirect interest in GCX Limited and RGL, is engaged in parallel insolvency
proceedings in India pursuant to India's Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 before the Honorable National Company Law Tribunal, Mumbai
Bench, Mumbai. Although RCOM still holds a 100% interest in GCX Limited and RGL, as a result of the bankruptcy proceeding the aggregate
public shareholdings in RCOM increased from 44.13% to 79.20%, thereby diluting the aggregate voting-and economic interests of Mr. Anil
Ambani from 55.68% to 20.51%.
