            Information Concerning Stockholders, Officers and Directors


         Hughes Network Systems, LLC (“HNS”) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hughes

3.65% interest, own an additional 10.41% of HCI in the aggregate, such that Apollo and
affiliated companies hold approximately 57.51% of the common stock of HCI. The
remaining common stock is widely held among other shareholders, with no single person

are located at 11717 Exploration Lane, Germantown, Maryland 20876. Apollo is
headquartered at Two Manhattanville Road, Purchase, New York 10577.

        Ultimate control of Apollo and its affiliated entities, and therefore HNS, is held by

Ltd. (“BRH”), a company organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands, through which
