As shown in Attachments 1 and 2, DBSD North America, Inc.

ICO Global Communications (Holdings) Limited (“ICO Global”), a Delaware corporation, currently holds 99.84 percent of the outstanding equity of DBSD NA. Under the Transaction, all outstanding shares of common stock of DBSD NA will be canceled, and new common stock of reorganized DBSD NA (the “New Common Stock”) will be issued to certain of DBSD NA’s creditors and equity holders. Following the Transaction, as shown in the table below and in Attachment 2, no single shareholder will control reorganized DBSD NA, but three entities (each, a “Substantial Equity Holder”) will each hold between 10 percent and 22 percent K&E 15826149.20
