Luxembourg, September 30, 2010

Intelsat S.A. today announced that its subsidiary, Intelsat Corporation (“Intelsat Corp”) has received the requisite consents to amend certain terms of the indenture governing its 9 ¹/4% Senior Notes due 2014 (CUSIP No. 45823VAE1) (the “2014 Notes”) and the indenture governing its 6 % Senior Secured Debentures due 2028 (CUSIP No. 697933AM1) (the “2028 Notes” and together with the 2014 Notes, the “Notes”). The consent solicitation with respect to the 2014 Notes (the “2014 Consent Solicitation”) expired at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on Wednesday, September 29, 2010 (the “2014 Consent Time”) and the consent solicitation with respect to the 2028 Notes (the “2028 Consent Solicitation”) expired at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on Wednesday, September 29, 2010 (the “2028 Consent Time”).

As of the 2014 Consent Time, Intelsat Corp had received tenders of $546,286,000 aggregate principal amount of the 2014 Notes pursuant to its previously announced cash tender offer for the 2014 Notes (the “2014 Tender Offer”) and, as of the 2028 Consent Time, Intelsat Corp had received tenders of $124,859,000 aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Notes pursuant to its previously announced cash tender offer for the 2028 Notes (the “2028 Tender Offer” and together with the 2014 Tender Offer, the “Tender Offers”).

The withdrawal deadline relating to each Tender Offer occurred at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Wednesday, September 29, 2010. Notes previously tendered and Notes that are tendered after the date hereof may not be withdrawn except as required by law. The Tender Offers are scheduled to expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on Thursday, October 14, 2010, unless extended or earlier terminated by Intelsat Corp (the “Expiration Time”).

Intelsat Corp has been advised by each of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as the trustee under the indenture governing the 2014 Notes, and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as the trustee under the indenture governing the 2028 Notes, that, as of the 2014 Consent Time and the 2028 Consent Time, consents were delivered and not revoked in respect of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of each of the 2014 Notes and the 2028 Notes.

Intelsat Corp will make a payment to each security holder of the 2014 Notes that validly tendered its 2014 Notes, and did not validly withdraw, and validly delivered its consent prior to the 2014 Consent Time, and did not validly revoke such consent, equal to $1,035.00 per $1,000 principal amount of the notes for which such security holder provided its consent, including accrued and unpaid interest. Intelsat Corp will make a payment to each security holder of the 2028 Notes that validly tendered its 2028 Notes, and did not validly withdraw, and validly delivered its consent prior to the 2028 Consent Time, and did not validly revoke such consent, equal to $1,200.00 per $1,000 principal amount of the notes for which such security holder provided its consent, including accrued and unpaid interest.

Holders tendering their 2014 Notes after the 2014 Consent Time but before the Expiration Time will receive the tender offer consideration of $1,005.00 per $1,000 principal amount of 2014 Notes tendered.

Holders tendering their 2028 Notes after the 2028 Consent Time but before the Expiration Time will receive the tender offer consideration of $1,160.00 per $1,000 principal amount of 2028 Notes tendered.
