Airbus DS SatCom Government, Inc. Earth Station Pro Forma Transfer of Control Application EXHIBITS E AND F OWNERSHIP AND CONTROL OF AIRBUS DS SATCOM GOVERNMENT, INC. This application seeks Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) consent to the pro forma transfer of control of Airbus DS SatCom Government, Inc. (“Licensee”) that occurred during prior internal corporate restructurings. On April 25, 2014, a new, intermediate subsidiary, Airbus Group, Inc. (“Airbus Group”), a Delaware corporation, was inserted into the Licensee’s ownership structure between Airbus Defense and Space, Inc. (“ADS”), an indirect parent company of the Licensee, and Airbus Group N.V. (“Airbus N.V.”), formerly known as European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company EADS N.V., the ultimate parent company of the Licensee. Before and after the transaction, the Licensee continued to be indirectly controlled by Airbus N.V. On June 4, 2015, Airbus N.V. became Airbus Group SE (“Airbus”). A simplified ownership chart is attached. Because this request is being filed after the transaction’s consummation date, the Parties respectfully request a waiver of the requirement contained in Section 25.119(d) of the FCC’s rules. The Licensee takes its FCC compliance obligations seriously, and the delay in filing this request with the FCC is purely the result of an administrative oversight that was identified during due diligence for the proposed sale of the Licensee.1 The Licensee has also implemented additional procedures to prevent a similar error in the future and to comply fully with its license obligations. The transaction does not change the Licensee’s foreign ownership as approved by the FCC.2 The Licensee’s immediate parent company is Airbus DS System Holdings, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of ADS. ADS is a wholly owned subsidiary of Airbus Group, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Airbus. Thus, the transaction only involved the non-substantial insertion of a new intermediate subsidiary in the Licensee’s ownership structure and the FCC is not required to revisit the Licensee’s foreign ownership. Grant of the application is in the public interest because it will facilitate user access to continued and uninterrupted satellite communications services. 1 Applications of Airbus DS Systems Holdings, Inc. and Satcom Direct Communications, Inc. for Consent to Transfer of Control, FCC File Nos.
