    Dear Ms. Dortch:

           Pursuant to Section 25.137(g) of the Commission’s rules,1 Telesat Canada
    (“Telesat”), the operator of the non-U.S. licensed satellites identified above that have
    been authorized to serve the United States, hereby notifies the Commission that it has
    undergone a pro forma transfer of control.

            The pro forma transfer of control is the result of a corporate restructuring.2 Prior
    to the corporate restructuring, Telesat had two holding companies above it in its
    corporate structure. Telesat was a wholly owned subsidiary of Telesat Interco Inc.
    which, in turn, was a wholly owned subsidiary of Telesat Holdings Inc. (“Telesat
    Holdings”). As a result of the corporate restructuring, the former shareholders of


    1 47 C.F.R. § 25.137(g).
    2 The restructuring occurred on January 1, 2017, and due to an oversight was not
    reported within 30 days. To the extent required, Telesat hereby requests a waiver of the
    time for reporting requirements that are stated in Section 25.137(g).


Telesat Holdings became direct shareholders of Telesat, having the same interests and
the same voting rights as they had held previously in Telesat Holdings.3 The transfer of
control, therefore, was entirely pro forma; there was no change in ultimate control.

      Please direct any questions concerning this matter to the undersigned.

                                  Respectfully submitted,



                                  Joseph A. Godles
                                  Attorney for Telesat Canada




3 This restructuring was accomplished by merging Telesat Holdings and Telesat Interco
into a new entity that was merged with Telesat.
