Intelsat Jackson Holdings S.A. Note Purchase Agreement; Reduction of Maximum Payment Amount and Extension of Expiration Date of Tender Offers

On June 30, 2016, Intelsat S.A. issued a press release announcing that Intelsat S.A.’s indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, Intelsat Jackson Holdings S.A. (“Intelsat Jackson”), has entered into a purchase agreement with a number of institutional investors pursuant to which Intelsat Jackson agreed, subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions, to issue in a private placement $490 million aggregate principal amount of 9.50% senior secured notes (the “New Notes”) with a discount of 2.0%. Intelsat Jackson expects to use the net proceeds from the New Notes to fund its previously announced tender offers (the “Tender Offers”) to purchase its 6 5⁄8% Senior Notes due 2022, 5 1⁄2% Senior Notes due 2023 and 7 1⁄2% Senior Notes due 2021. The issuance of the New Notes will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the New Notes may not be resold absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.

The press release also announced that Intelsat Jackson decreased the maximum payment amount and extended the expiration date, early tender date and withdrawal deadline for the Tender Offers.

The information contained in this report shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference into the amended and restated Offer to Purchase, dated May 17, 2016 with respect to such tender offers.
