                                          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 a recent internal corporate restructuring. On December 21, 2015, the Licensee’s
immediate parent company, Airbus DS Systems Holdings, Inc., was converted from a
corporation to a limited liability company. The Licensee’s immediate parent company is now
known as Airbus DS Systems Holdings, LLC. Before and after the transaction, the Licensee
continued to be indirectly controlled by Airbus Group SE. A simplified ownership chart is
attached as Attachment 1.

        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.

        The transaction does not change the Licensee’s foreign ownership as approved by the
     1
FCC. The transaction only involved the non-substantial conversion of the Licensee’s immediate
parent company from a corporation to a limited liability company. 2 Thus, the FCC is not
required to revisit the Licensee’s foreign ownership because there was no substantial change in
the Licensee’s ownership.

       Grant of the application is in the public interest because it will facilitate user access to
continued and uninterrupted satellite communications services.
