Extension Amendment to Intelsat Jackson Holdings S.A.’s Senior Secured Credit Agreement

On November 9, 2017, Intelsat S.A.’s (the “ Company ”) indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, Intelsat Jackson Holdings S.A. (“ Intelsat Jackson ”), obtained the requisite lender approval for an amendment to its senior secured credit agreement which governs its approximately $3.1 billion senior secured term loan facility (the “ Term Loans ”). The Company expects to close the amendment during the week of November 27, 2017, subject to customary closing conditions. The amendment is expected to extend the maturity date of approximately $2.0 billion of the existing Term Loans (such loans, the “ Extended Term Loans ”) and effect certain other amendments to the senior secured credit agreement. The Extended Term Loans are expected to (i) have an applicable interest rate margin of 3.75% for London InterBank Offering Rate (“ LIBOR ”) loans and 2.75% for base rate loans (which represents an increase of 25 basis points from the applicable margin on the existing Term Loans prior to giving effect to the amendment) and (ii) be subject to a prepayment premium of 1.00% for certain voluntary prepayments of the Extended Term Loans, subject to certain exceptions, until the first anniversary of the closing date of the amendment. Intelsat Jackson has agreed to pay fees in connection with the amendment equal to 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of each consenting lender’s outstanding Term Loans as of the closing date of the amendment, which fees will be paid on the closing date.
