                             (Response to Item 40)

Ownership Information

The applicant, SES Americom, Inc. (“SES Americom”), is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary
of SES S.A. (“SES,” formerly known as SES Global S.A.). SES Global-Americas, Inc. holds
100% of the capital stock of SES Americom. SES Global Americas Holdings GP, a Delaware
general partnership that is owned 99.4% by SES and 0.06% by SES’ direct wholly-owned
subsidiary SES ASTRA S.A., holds 100% of the capital stock of SES Global-Americas, Inc.
With the exception of SES and SES ASTRA, which are Luxembourg companies, all of these
entities are U.S. corporations or partnerships.

SES wholly owns SES Americom, SES ASTRA (formerly Société Européenne des Satellites
S.A.), and New Skies Satellites B.V. Through its subsidiaries and affiliates, SES engages in the
provision of satellite services in North and South America, Europe, Africa and Asia. SES
Americom and New Skies Satellites B.V. have been integrated operationally and now offer
services under a single brand name, “SES WORLD SKIES.” The individual legal entities,
however, remain distinct.

The offices of SES and SES ASTRA are at L-6815 Château de Betzdorf, Luxembourg. The
address of the intermediary holding companies is 4 Research Way, Princeton, NJ 08540.

The names, addresses, and citizenship of stockholders owning of record and/or voting 10 percent
or more of SES voting stock are:

   1. The Etat du Grand Duché de Luxembourg (the “State of Luxembourg”) – and Banque et
      Caisse d’Epargne de l’Etat (“BCEE”) and Société Nationale de Crédit et d’Investisement
      (“SNCI”), each of which is an institution created by act of the Luxembourg Parliament
      and 100% owned by the State of Luxembourg – hold Class B shares of SES representing
      a combined effective economic interest of 16.67% and effective voting power of 33.33%.
      In addition, in 2007 and 2008 these entities received SES Fiduciary Deposit Receipts
      (“FDRs”), which each represent one Class A share of SES. The FDRs distributed to
      these entities represent a combined 5.43% economic interest and effective voting power
      of 4.35%. SES Americom has no information regarding whether the Class B
      shareholders continue to hold these FDRs. The principal business of both BCEE and
      SNCI is financial services. The addresses of BCEE and SNCI are as follows:
