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:

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.

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.
