Re:    Application to Relocate AMC-2 and Extend its License Term
       Call Sign S2134, File No. SAT-MOD-20160329-00029

Dear Ms. Dortch:

SES Americom, Inc. (“SES”), by its attorney and pursuant to Section 1.65 of the Commission’s
rules, 47 C.F.R. § 1.65, hereby supplements the record relating to the above-referenced
application to reassign AMC-2 to the 84.85° W.L. orbital location and extend the satellite’s
license term (the “AMC-2 Modification”). Specifically, SES is submitting additional and
corrected data relating to the satellite’s maximum EIRP density and saturation flux density
characteristics.

                                  Maximum EIRP Density

The table below provides information regarding the maximum EIRP density for the proposed
AMC-2 operations in the Ku-band and for the proposed C-band Telemetry, Tracking and
Command (“TT&C”) operations. The beam designations correspond to those in the Schedule S
that was submitted with the AMC-2 Modification.

                              Beam     Maximum EIRP Density (dBW/4 kHz)

                              CTH                      -0.35

                                    Saturation Flux Density

The table below provides information regarding the maximum saturation flux density for the
AMC-2 Ku-band payload and corrects the information regarding the Ku-band minimum
saturation flux density that appeared in item S7.p of the Schedule S that was submitted with the
AMC-2 Modification.
