ACQUISITION BY INTELSAT (BERMUDA), LTD.

         On July 3, 2006, Intelsat (Bermuda), Ltd. ("INTELSAT BERMUDA")
completed the previously announced acquisition (the "Acquisition") of PanAmSat
Holding Corporation ("PANAMSAT HOLDCO"), pursuant to a Merger Agreement, dated
as of August 28, 2005, by and among Intelsat Bermuda, Proton Acquisition
Corporation and PanAmSat HoldCo (the "MERGER AGREEMENT"). Pursuant to the Merger
Agreement, Proton Acquisition Corporation merged with and into PanAmSat HoldCo,
with PanAmSat HoldCo surviving the merger, and each share of common stock of
PanAmSat HoldCo was converted into the right receive $25.00, plus approximately
$0.00927 in respect of a pro rata quarterly dividend, in cash without interest.

         The Acquisition was financed by an issuance by Intelsat Bermuda of
senior notes due 2013 and 2016 in an aggregate principal amount of
$2.34 billion (the "INTELSAT NOTES"), a $600 million borrowing by Intelsat
Bermuda under a Senior Bridge Loan Credit Agreement, dated as of July 3, 2006,
among Intelsat Bermuda, various lending institutions and Deutsche Bank AG Cayman
Islands Branch, as Administrative Agent (the "INTELSAT BRIDGE FACILITY"), an
issuance by PanAmSat Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of PanAmSat HoldCo
which was renamed "Intelsat Corporation" in connection with the Acquisition (and
which will hereafter be referred to as Intelsat Corporation), of 9% Senior Notes
due 2016 in an aggregate principal amount of $575 million (the "PANAMSAT
NOTES"), and cash on hand at Intelsat Bermuda, Intelsat Corporation and their
respective affiliates.

          As a result of the completion of the Acquisition, PanAmSat HoldCo
became 100% owned by Intelsat Bermuda. The foregoing brief summary is qualified
in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement included as Exhibit 99.1
hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION AND BYLAWS

         Following the issuance of the PanAmSat Notes and the completion of the
Acquisition, the certificate of incorporation of PanAmSat HoldCo was amended to
change the name of PanAmSat HoldCo to "Intelsat Holding Corporation" (and
PanAmSat HoldCo will hereafter be referred to as Intelsat Holding Corporation).
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the By-Laws of Intelsat Holding Corporation
were amended and restated.

          The amendment to the Certificate of  Incorporation of Intelsat Holding
Corporation and the Amended and Restated By-Laws of Intelsat Holding Corporation
are attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and 3.2, respectively.

ISSUANCE OF PANAMSAT NOTES

         On July 3, 2006, Intelsat Corporation issued the PanAmSat Notes. Also
on July 3, 2006, Intelsat Bermuda issued the Intelsat Notes. The net proceeds
from these offerings were used, together with cash on hand and a borrowing by
Intelsat Bermuda under the Intelsat Bridge Facility, to consummate the
Acquisition and to fund a tender offer for Intelsat Holding Corporation's 10
3/8% Senior Discount Notes due 2014. The Indenture dated as of July 3, 2006



pursuant to which the PanAmSat Notes were issued (the "Indenture") is attached
hereto as Exhibit 4.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

         The Indenture contains covenants which, among other things: limit
Intelsat Corporation's ability and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries
to incur or guarantee additional debt or issue disqualified stock or preferred
stock; pay dividends or make other equity distributions; repurchase or redeem
capital stock; make investments or other restricted payments; create liens; sell
assets or consolidate or merge with or into other companies; and engage in
transactions with affiliates.

         The Indenture also contains events of default with respect to: defaults
in any payment of interest on any note when due continues for 30 days; defaults
in the payment of principal when due; subject to certain exceptions, the failure
by Intelsat Corporation or any of its restricted subsidiaries to comply for 60
days after notice with its other agreements contained in the PanAmSat Notes or
the Indenture; the failure by Intelsat Corporation or any significant subsidiary
to pay certain indebtedness when due within any applicable grace period after
final maturity or the acceleration of any such indebtedness by the holders
thereof because of a default, in each case, if the total amount of such
indebtedness unpaid or accelerated exceeds $50 million; certain events of
bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of Intelsat Corporation or a
significant subsidiary; or any guarantee of a significant subsidiary which
ceases to be in full force.

          The PanAmSat Notes are redeemable on the dates, at the redemption
prices and in the manner specified in the Indenture.

         Intelsat Corporation agreed pursuant to a registration rights agreement
(the "REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT") to make an offer to exchange the PanAmSat
Notes for registered, publicly tradable notes that have substantially identical
terms as the PanAmSat Notes. The Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of July
3, 2006, is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.2 and incorporated herein by reference.

TENDER OFFER

         Intelsat Holding Corporation's offer to purchase (the "OFFER") its 10
3/8% Senior Discount Notes due 2014 (the "2014 NOTES") expired at 9:00 a.m. on
July 3, 2006. The related consent solicitation (the "CONSENT SOLICITATION")
expired at 5:00 p.m. New York City time, on June 14, 2006. The Offer and Consent

solicited consents to certain proposed amendments to the indenture, dated as of
October 19, 2004, among Intelsat Holding Corporation, as issuer, and The Bank of
New York, as trustee (the "2014 INDENTURE"). Following receipt of the requisite
consents to amend the 2014 Indenture, the proposed amendments were effected
through the execution of a supplemental indenture, which eliminated certain
covenants to the 2014 Indenture as specified in the Offer Documents.

          As of the expiration of the tender offer at 9:00 a.m. New York City
time, on July 3, 2006, approximately $414.53 million in aggregate principal

Notes.

AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT OF CREDIT FACILITY

          In connection with the Acquisition,  Intelsat Corporation entered into
an Amendment  Agreement,  dated as of July 3, 2006,  with Citicorp USA, Inc., as
Administrative Agent, the lenders named therein,  Citigroup Global Markets Inc.,
as Joint Lead Arranger and Joint  Bookrunner,  Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., as

Bookrunner (the "AMENDMENT AGREEMENT").

         The Amendment Agreement sets forth the terms pursuant to which the
parties thereto agreed to amend and restate, effective on July 3, 2006
immediately after the Acquisition (as so amended and restated, the "JULY 2006
AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT"), Intelsat Corporation's Credit Agreement
dated as of August 20, 2004, as previously amended and restated as of March 22,
2005 (the "MARCH 2005 AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT"). The July 2006
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement renews and extends the credit facilities
provided under the March 2005 Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

         The July 2006 Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provides credit
facilities in an aggregate principal amount of $1,991,010,000, consisting of a
$355,910,000 Tranche A-3 Term Loan with a six year maturity, a $1,635,100,000
Tranche B-2 Term Loan with a seven and one-half year maturity, and a $250
million Revolving Credit facility with a six-year maturity. Up to $150 million
of the revolving credit facility is available for issuance of letters of credit.
Additionally, up to $35 million of the revolving credit facility is available

on a dollar for dollar basis. The revolving credit facility is available on a
revolving basis during the period beginning on the Amendment Effective Date and
the initial funding of the credit facilities and terminating six years later.

first priority security interest to the extent legally permissible in
substantially all of the borrower's and the guarantors' tangible and intangible
assets, with certain agreed exceptions, as was the case with the March 2005
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

        The Amendment Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and
incorporated herein by reference. The July 2006 Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2 and incorporated herein by
reference.
