SES S.A. (Euronext Paris and Luxembourg Stock Exchange: SESG) will combine SES AMERICOM and SES NEW SKIES to form a new operating segment of SES. Robert Bednarek, currently President and CEO of SES NEW SKIES, will become President and CEO of this new operating segment. The SES AMERICOM and SES NEW SKIES satellite fleets will remain separately owned and operated. The new segment will continue to be supported from its current locations and facilities around the world. No major changes to business operations and market activities are currently anticipated. Joining SES in January 2002 as a recognised satellite industry expert, Bednarek was appointed to the SES executive committee and has actively participated in the strong growth of the company. As Executive Vice President of Corporate Development, he was instrumental in helping to position SES as an industry leader through his oversight of SES’ portfolio of regional holdings and his support of new service concepts throughout the group. He also led the team that directed the acquisition and integration of SES NEW SKIES in 2006, before becoming its President and CEO in 2007.
