Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On April 22, 2010, Intelsat S.A. (formerly Intelsat, Ltd.) announced that it had received the requisite consents to amend certain terms of the indenture governing its 7 5/8% Senior Notes due 2012 (CUSIP No. 45820EAB8) (the “2012 notes”) and its 6 1/2% Senior Notes due 2013 (CUSIP No. 45820EAH5) (the “2013 notes”, and together with the 2012 notes, the “notes”). The consent solicitation expired at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on April 21, 2010 (the “Expiration Time”). Intelsat S.A. has been advised by Global Bondholder Services Corporation, the Tabulation and Information Agent, that, as of the Expiration Time, consents were delivered and not revoked in respect of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of each of the 2012 notes and the 2013 notes. As a result, Intelsat S.A. and The Bank of New York Mellon (formerly The Bank of New York), as the trustee under the indenture governing the notes, executed a supplemental indenture implementing the amendments. The amendments amend the indenture for the notes to substantially align the restrictions on Intelsat S.A.’s ability to incur secured debt with similar restrictions applicable to certain of its subsidiaries and to make certain other technical changes to the indenture.

The foregoing description of the supplemental indenture is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the supplemental indenture, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 4.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

A copy of the press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
