These shares were purchased in a buy—back program and are scheduled to be cancelled on December 8, 2005. The buy—back program has provisionally diluted the voting and economic interests of the participating sharcholders. After cancellation of the shares, GE Capital‘s voting interest will return to the same level the company held prior to commencement of the buy—back program. GE Capital‘s sale of shares it held through a voting trust has reduced its economic interest in SES Global. * ‘These percentages include shares representing a 2.07% voting interest and a 1.03% economic interest that are currently held by SES Global pursuant to the buy— back program and are scheduled to be cancelled on December 8, 2005. After cancellation of the shares, the State of Luxembourg‘s economic interest will return to the same level the State held prioto commencement of the buy—back program. The ultimate effective voting interest of the State of Luxembourg has been reduced slightly as a result of GE Capital‘s sale of shares that were held through a voting trust. Those shares had been voted in the same manner and proportion as the remaining SES Global shares, resulting in a small increase in the effective voting interest of other shareholders.
