Statement on use by Eutelsat of German filing at 28.5° East

28 February 2013

Eutelsat and Deutsche Telekom AG have reached a final settlement to the dispute regarding the duration of Eutelsat's right to use a German filing at the 28.5° East orbital position, without prejudice to the parties' respective positions concerning the subject of the dispute.

Both parties have consequently agreed that arbitration proceedings initiated in 2011 before the International Court of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce will be terminated. The Court of Arbitration is shortly expected to issue a decision by consent which will reflect the settlement agreed by both parties.

The exact terms of the settlement will remain confidential.
