                          previously approved in the above—referenced proceedings.

                          On November 23, 2011, the Intelsat Licensees sought authority for the transfer of
                          control of all of the earth station, space station, and wireless licenses and

                          shares, subsequent voting share sales by current shareholders, and possible private
                          placements of newly issued voting shares."

                          On May 16, 2012, the International Bureau authorized the transfer ofcontrol of the
                          earth station and space station licenses held by the Intelsat Licensees." The

        International Bureau specified August 16, 2012 as the deadline for consummating
        the transactions.*
        Grant of this request for an extension of time will serve the public interest. The
