Dear Ms. Dortch:

On February 27 and March 4, 2014, the undersigned, outside counsel for SES, discussed the
above-referenced application for the SES-3 C- and Ku-band replacement satellite with Diane
Cornell, Special Counsel to Chairman Wheeler. On March 4, 2014, Daniel Mah of SES and I
spoke by telephone with Jose Albuquerque of the Satellite Division regarding SES-3. The SES-
3 application has been designated as permit-but-disclose for purposes of the ex parte rules
effective October 31, 2013. 1 During these conversations, SES reiterated its arguments
previously made on the record and discussed possible resolutions of the pending application
and plans for handover of traffic from AMC-1 to SES-3, including potential interim measures to
begin the transition.

Please contact the undersigned if you have any questions.

Respectfully submitted,

/s/ Karis A. Hastings
