Notification of SES Americom, Inc. pursuant to § 1.65 Dear Ms. Dortch: SES Americom, Inc. (‘SES Americom"), by its attorneys and pursuant to Section 1.65 of the Commission‘s rules, hereby updates its pending space station applications to reflect recent changes in the ownership of its parent company, SES Global S.A. (‘SES Global‘). Specifically, the General Electric Company subsidiaries that are the sole holders of Class C shares of SES Global (the "GE Entities") decided to sell roughly one—quarter of their interest in SES Global, representing 35 million shares, after converting the shares into Fiduciary Depositary Receipts (‘FDR«®), which represent Class A shares of SES Global and are publicly traded on the Luxembourg and Euronext exchanges. Seven million of these shares have been repurchased by SES Global under an ongoing share buy—back program, pursuant to which these shares will subsequently be cancelled. As a result of the GE Entities‘ sale, and taking into account the authorized share buy—back and cancellation, the effective economic interest collectively held by the GE Entities has declined from 25% to 19%, and the effective voting power of the GE Entities has declined from 20% to 15%. The sale had no impact on the interest of the Luxembourg government in SES Global, which as direct or indirect holder of all the Class B shares of the company continues to hold a 16.67% economic and 33.33% voting interest. The SES Global Articles of Incorporation fix the ratio between the total of Class A and C shares and the Class B shares at two—to—one. Accordingly, as part of the authorized wour mss towen ns mownt muw waser woscor tono wervoes mumore wane mus m somam coossosnnes tomcun
