Item 8.01

On September 29, 2006, Intelsat Corporation (formerly known as PanAmSat Corporation) completed the repurchase of $180,000 principal amount of its outstanding 9% senior notes due 2014 (the “2014 senior notes”). Intelsat Corporation had commenced an offer to purchase the 2014 senior notes (the “Change of Control Offer”) on August 2, 2006, because as previously reported, completion of the acquisition of Intelsat Holding Corporation (formerly known as PanAmSat Holding Corporation) by Intelsat (Bermuda), Ltd., a subsidiary of Intelsat, Ltd., on July 3, 2006 resulted in a change of control under the indenture governing the 2014 senior notes. In accordance with the terms of the Change of Control Offer, all 2014 senior notes tendered and not withdrawn by the expiration date were repurchased at a price equal to 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. Intelsat Corporation used cash on hand to fund the repurchase of the $180,000 principal amount of 2014 senior notes tendered and did not enter into any new credit facility.
