Background
On August 28, 2005, Intelsat’s indirect subsidiary Intelsat (Bermuda), Ltd. and Intelsat (Bermuda), Ltd.’s wholly-owned subsidiary Proton Acquisition Corporation (“Merger Sub”) entered into a merger agreement with PanAmSat. The merger agreement contemplates that Merger Sub will be merged with and into PanAmSat, with PanAmSat remaining as the surviving entity. Upon completion of the transaction, PanAmSat would be a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Intelsat (Bermuda), Ltd. and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Intelsat. Post merger, PanAmSat and its subsidiaries would continue as separate corporate entities. See the Public Notice for more information...
