extended the deadline for consummating the pro forma transfer of the earth and
space station licenses until April 10, 2012.4

On March 30, 2012, the Intelsat Licensees completed all of the steps necessary to
consummate the pro forma transfer of these licenses and authorizations. A copy of
the Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission regarding
this transaction is attached. As noted in that Form 8-K, the Intelsat Licensees are
now "beneficially owned by BC Partners and its affiliates, Silver Lake and its
affiliates, certain other equity sponsors and members of management and certain
designated employees in the same proportions as such entities’ and individuals’
former ownership” in the Intelsat Licensees.

Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions.

Sincerely,

/s/ Jennifer D. Hindin

Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers;
           Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
      In connection with the reorganization transactions described below under Item 8.01 (Other Events), on March 30, 2012,
all of the shareholder and equity agreements, as well as the employment letter agreements of two named executive officers, of
Intelsat Global S.A. (“Intelsat Global”), the ultimate parent company of Intelsat S.A., were amended to provide that all
obligations, liabilities, rights, title and interest thereunder were assigned by Intelsat Global to Intelsat Global Holdings S.A.
(“Intelsat Global Holdings”), and that Intelsat Global Holdings assumed such assignment. These agreements (together, the
“Assigned Agreements”) are as follows:
       •      Management Shareholders Agreement (entered into on May 6, 2009 and effective as of February 4, 2008) and the
              letter agreements related thereto. In particular, Intelsat Global and Intelsat Global Holdings entered into
              Amendment No. 2 to the Management Shareholders Agreement with the other parties thereto;
       •      Amended and Restated Intelsat Global 2008 Share Incentive Plan (the “Equity Plan”), and all Grant Agreements
              (as defined in the Equity Plan) thereunder;
       •      Intelsat Global Unallocated Bonus Plan (collectively with the individual side letters related thereto); and
       •      Employment letter agreements, dated as of May 8, 2009, by and between Intelsat Global and each of Stephen
              Spengler and Thierry Guillemin.
   In addition, the employment agreements with David McGlade, Michael McDonnell and Phillip Spector (the “Executive
Employment Agreements”) were modified as of March 30, 2012 so that their positions would be at Intelsat Global Holdings.

     The foregoing description of the amendments to the Assigned Agreements and the modifications to the Executive
Employment Agreements is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such amendments and modifications,
copies of which are attached as Exhibits 10.1 through 10.11 and incorporated by reference herein.

Item 8.01. Other Events.
     On March 30, 2012, Intelsat Global and certain of its subsidiaries engaged in a series of transactions (the “reorganization
transactions”) that resulted in Intelsat Global Holdings, a new holding company, acquiring all of the outstanding shares of
Intelsat Global. As a result, Intelsat Global, which was previously owned by BC Partners, Silver Lake, certain other equity
sponsors and members of management and certain designated employees, became a wholly owned subsidiary of Intelsat
Global Holdings, and all of Intelsat Global Holdings’ equity is now beneficially owned by BC Partners and its affiliates,
Silver Lake and its affiliates, certain other equity sponsors and members of management and certain designated employees in
the same proportions as such entities’ and individuals’ former ownership in Intelsat Global.

Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits.
