This Form 6-K (including exhibits hereto) is hereby incorporated by reference into: Form F-3 Registration Statements File No. 333-225467, Form S-8 Registration Statements File Nos. 333-212417 and 333-187976 and the Offering Memorandum dated June 11, 2018, relating to the offer and sale of the company’s 4.50% convertible notes due 2025.

Common Shares Offering

On June 11, 2018, Intelsat S.A. (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC (the “Underwriters”) relating to the offer and sale of an aggregate of 13,477,089 common shares of the Company, nominal value $0.01 per share (the “common shares”), plus an additional 2,021,563 common shares pursuant to an option granted to the Underwriters, at a public offering price of $14.84 per common share (the “offering”). On June 12, 2018, the Underwriters exercised their option to purchase the additional 2,021,563 common shares. The offering is being completed on June 14, 2018 and the Company expects the aggregate gross proceeds from the offering to be approximately $229,999,996.

The foregoing is a summary description of certain terms of the Underwriting Agreement and is qualified in its entirety by the text of the Underwriting Agreement attached as Exhibit 1.1 to this Report on Form 6-K and incorporated herein by reference.

The offer and sale of all shares offered in the offering is under a prospectus supplement and related prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pursuant to a shelf registration statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-225467) filed with the Commission on June 6, 2018.

The Company currently expects to use the net proceeds of the offering and of a concurrent private placement of convertible senior notes to purchase 7.75% Senior Notes due 2021 of its indirect subsidiary Intelsat (Luxembourg) S.A. (“2021 Lux Notes”) in privately negotiated transactions with individual holders. The Company has entered into transactions with respect to a substantial majority of such expected purchases, contingent upon consummation of the offering and the concurrent convertible senior notes offering. The prices of such transactions have been at a discount to par. If the Company is unable to purchase a sufficient amount of 2021 Lux Notes at prices which are acceptable to the Company, it may seek to utilize the remaining net proceeds of the offering and the concurrent convertible senior notes offering for other general corporate purposes, which may include purchases of other tranches of debt of the Company’s subsidiaries.

Press Release

On June 11, 2018, the Company issued a press release announcing that the Company had priced the offering of common shares and concurrent offering of convertible senior notes. A copy of the press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.

The Company also proposes to issue to the several Underwriters not more than an additional 2,021,563 of its common shares, nominal value $0.01 per share (the “Additional Shares”), if and to the extent that you, as managers of the offering, shall have determined to exercise, on behalf of the Underwriters, the right to subscribe for such common shares granted to the Underwriters in Section 2 hereof. The Firm Shares and the Additional Shares are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Shares.” The common shares, nominal value $0.01 per share, of the Company to be outstanding after giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby are hereinafter referred to as the “Common Stock.”

The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a registration statement, including a base prospectus (the “Base Prospectus”), relating to the registration of the Shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and the issuance and sale of the Shares. The Company has also filed, or proposes to file, with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act a prospectus supplement relating to the Shares (the “Prospectus Supplement”). The registration statement on Form F-3 (No. 333-225467) relating to the Shares, as amended at the time it becomes effective, including all exhibits thereto and the information (if any) deemed to be part of the registration statement at the time of effectiveness pursuant to Rule 430A, 430B or 430C under the Securities Act, is hereinafter referred to as the “Registration Statement;” and as used herein, the term “Prospectus” means the Base Prospectus as supplemented by the Prospectus Supplement; and the term “Preliminary Prospectus” means the preliminary prospectus supplement dated June 11, 2018 specifically relating to the Shares, together with the Base Prospectus.

For purposes of this Underwriting Agreement (this “Agreement”), “free writing prospectus” has the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act, “Time of Sale Prospectus” means the Preliminary Prospectus together with the documents and pricing information set forth in Schedule II hereto, and “broadly available road show” means a “bona fide electronic road show” as defined in Rule 433(h)(5) under the Securities Act that has been made available without restriction to any person.

For the purposes of this Agreement, the term “Transactions” means, collectively, (i) the offering and sale of the Shares and (ii) the payment of all fees and expenses related to the foregoing.

1. Representations and Warranties. The Company represents and warrants to and agrees with each of the Underwriters that:

In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, that if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest, (ii) the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have been advised by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, or (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after receipt by the indemnifying party of notice of the institution of such action, then, in each such case, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties and such indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to defend such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. After notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof and approval by such indemnified party of counsel appointed to defend such action, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 8 for any legal or other expenses, other than reasonable costs of investigation, subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof, unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in accordance with the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that in connection with such action the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel (in addition to appropriate local counsel) in any one action or separate but substantially similar actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, designated by the Underwriters in the case of paragraph (a) of this Section 9 or the Company in the case of paragraph (b) of this Section 9, representing the indemnified parties under such paragraph (a) or paragraph (b), as the case may be, who are parties to such action or actions) or (ii) the indemnifying party has authorized in writing the employment of counsel for the indemnified party at the expense of the indemnifying party. All fees and expenses reimbursed pursuant to this paragraph (c) shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final

-19-

judgment, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement or compromise of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party, or indemnity could have been sought hereunder by any indemnified party, unless such settlement (A) includes an unconditional written release of the indemnified party, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (B) does not include any statement as to an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

(d) To the extent the indemnification provided for in Section 9(a) or 9(b) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each indemnifying party under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand from the offering of the Shares or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause 8(d)(i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause 8(d)(i) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the offering of the Shares shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds from the offering of the Shares (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover of the Prospectus, bears to the aggregate Public Offering Price of the Shares. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Underwriters’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 9 are several in proportion to the respective number of Shares they have subscribed for hereunder, and not joint.

(e) The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 9 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 9(d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in Section 9(d) shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Shares underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The remedies provided for in this Section 9 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.

-20-

(f) The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 9 and the representations, warranties and other statements of the Company contained in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, any person controlling any Underwriter or any affiliate of any Underwriter or by or on behalf of the Company, its officers or directors or any person controlling the Company and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Shares.

10. Termination.

(a) This Agreement may be terminated in the sole discretion of the Underwriters by notice to the Company given prior to the Closing Date in the event that the Company shall have failed, refused or been unable to perform all obligations and satisfy all conditions on their part to be performed or satisfied hereunder at or prior thereto or, if at or prior to the Closing Date,

(i) (A) the Company or any of its subsidiaries shall have sustained since the most recent respective dates as which information is given in the Registration Statement or the Time of Sale Prospectus any material loss or interference with respect to its businesses or properties from fire, flood, hurricane, accident or other calamity, whether or not covered by insurance, or from any strike, labor dispute, slowdown or work stoppage or any legal or governmental proceeding, which loss or interference, in the sole judgment of the Underwriters, makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or the delivery of the Shares as contemplated by the Registration Statement or the Time of Sale Prospectus, or (B) since the most recent respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement or the Time of Sale Prospectus, there shall have been any change in the capital stock or long-term debt of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any material adverse change or development in the business, operations, management, financial position, stockholders’ equity, prospects or results of operations of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, other than as set forth or contemplated in the Registration Statement or the Time of Sale Prospectus, the effect of which, in the sole judgment of the Underwriters, makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or the delivery of the Shares as contemplated by the Registration Statement or the Time of Sale Prospectus;

(ii) trading in the Company’s Common Stock or any other securities of the Company or in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange or the NASDAQ National Market shall have been suspended or materially limited or minimum or maximum prices shall have been established on any such exchange or market;

(iii) a banking moratorium shall have been declared by New York or United States authorities or a material disruption in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States; or

(iv) other than as in existence on or prior to the time of this Agreement, there shall have been (A) an outbreak or escalation of hostilities between the United States and any foreign power, or (B) an outbreak or escalation of any other insurrection or armed conflict involving the United States or any other national or international calamity or emergency, or (C) any material change in the financial markets of the United States which, in the case of (A), (B) or (C) above and in the sole judgment of the Underwriters, makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale or the delivery of the Shares as contemplated by the Registration Statement and the Time of Sale Prospectus.

-21-

(b) Termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10 shall be without liability of any party to any other party except as provided in Section 7 or Section 9(g) hereof.

11. Effectiveness; Defaulting Underwriters. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto.

If, on the Closing Date or an Option Closing Date, as the case may be, any one or more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to subscribe for Shares that it has or they have agreed to subscribe for hereunder on such date, and the aggregate number of Shares which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to subscribe for is not more than one-tenth of the aggregate number of the Shares to be subscribed for on such date, the other Underwriters shall be obligated severally in the proportions that the number of Firm Shares set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule I bears to the aggregate number of Firm Shares set forth opposite the names of all such non-defaulting Underwriters, or in such other proportions as you may specify, to subscribe for the Shares which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to subscribe for on such date; provided that in no event shall the number of Shares that any Underwriter has agreed to subscribe for pursuant to this Agreement be increased pursuant to this Section 11 by an amount in excess of one-ninth of such number of Shares without the written consent of such Underwriter. If, on the Closing Date, any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to subscribe for Firm Shares and the aggregate number of Firm Shares with respect to which such default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate number of Firm Shares to be subscribed for on such date, and arrangements satisfactory to you and the Company for the subscription of such Firm Shares are not made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Company. In any such case either you or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date, but in no event for longer than seven days, in order that the required changes, if any, in the Registration Statement, in the Time of Sale Prospectus, in the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. If, on an Option Closing Date, any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to subscribe for Additional Shares and the aggregate number of Additional Shares with respect to which such default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate number of Additional Shares to be subscribed for on such Option Closing Date, the non-defaulting Underwriters shall have the option to (i) terminate their obligation hereunder to subscribe for the Additional Shares to be issued on such Option Closing Date or (ii) subscribe for not less than the number of Additional Shares that such non-defaulting Underwriters would have been obligated to subscribe for in the absence of such default. Any action taken under this paragraph shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of any default of such Underwriter under this Agreement.

If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Underwriters, other than pursuant to Sections 10(i), (iii), (iv) or (v), or this Section 11, or any of them, because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Company to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, or if for any reason the Company shall be unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Company will reimburse the Underwriters or such Underwriters as have so terminated this Agreement with respect to themselves, severally, for all out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees and disbursements of their counsel) reasonably incurred by such Underwriters in connection with this Agreement or the offering contemplated hereunder.

12. Entire Agreement.

(a) This Agreement, together with the side letter of even date and any contemporaneous written agreements and any prior written agreements (to the extent not superseded by this Agreement) that relate to the offering of the Shares, represents the entire agreement between the Company and the Underwriters with respect to the preparation of the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectus, the conduct of the offering, and the subscription, purchase, issuance and sale of the Shares.

-22-

(b) The Company acknowledges that in connection with the offering of the Shares: (i) the Underwriters have acted at arms length, are not agents of, and owe no fiduciary duties to, the Company or any other person, (ii) the Underwriters owe the Company only those duties and obligations set forth in this Agreement and prior written agreements (to the extent not superseded by this Agreement), if any, and (iii) the Underwriters may have interests that differ from those of the Company. The Company waives to the full extent permitted by applicable law any claims it may have against the Underwriters arising from an alleged breach of fiduciary duty in connection with the offering of the Shares.

13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by telecopier, facsimile or other electronic transmission (i.e., a “pdf” or “tif”) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart thereof.

14. Applicable Law. THE VALIDITY AND INTERPRETATION OF THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY OR DISPUTE ARISING UNDER OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, AND THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET FORTH HEREIN, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF.

15. Submission to Jurisdiction; Appointment of Agent for Service. The Company agrees that any suit, action or proceeding against the Company or brought by any Underwriter, the affiliates, directors, officers, employees and agents of any Underwriter, or by any person who controls any Underwriter, arising out of or based upon this Agreement or the Transaction will be instituted in the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, and waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such proceeding, and irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any suit, action or proceeding. Beginning on the Closing Date, the Company hereby appoints CT Corporation System as the authorized agent of the Company (the “Authorized Agent”) upon whom process may be served in any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement or the Transaction that may be instituted in the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, by any Underwriter, the directors, officers, employees, affiliates and agents of any Underwriter, or by any person who controls any Underwriter, and expressly accepts the exclusive jurisdiction of any such court in respect of any such suit, action or proceeding. The Company hereby represents and warrants that the Authorized Agent has accepted such appointment and has agreed to act as said agent for service of process, and the Company agrees to take any and all action, including the filing of any and all documents, that may be necessary to continue such appointment in full force and effect as aforesaid. Service of process upon the Authorized Agent shall be deemed, in every respect, effective service of process upon the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any action arising out of or based upon this Agreement may be instituted by any Underwriter, the directors, officers, employees, affiliates and agents of any Underwriter, or by any person who controls any Underwriter, in any court of competent jurisdiction in Luxembourg. The parties hereto each hereby waive any right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim arising out of or relating to this Agreement.

-23-

16. Immunity. To the extent that the Company has acquired or hereafter may acquire any immunity (sovereign or otherwise) from any legal action, suit or proceeding, from jurisdiction of any court or from set-off or any legal process (whether service or notice, attachment in aid or otherwise) with respect to itself or any of its property, the Company hereby irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim such immunity in respect of their obligations under this Agreement.

17. Judgment Currency. Except to the extent otherwise stated, U.S. Dollars are the sole currency of account and payment for all sums payable under or in connection with this Agreement, including damages. Any amount received or recovered in a currency other than this applicable currency (whether as a result of, or in the enforcement of, a judgment or order to a court of any jurisdiction, in the winding-up or dissolution of either the Company or otherwise) by any person in respect of any sums expressed to be due to it shall only constitute a discharge by the payor thereof of its obligations to the extent the amount of the applicable currency that such payee evidences that it is able to purchase with the amount so received or recovered in such other currency on the date of receipt or recovery (or, if it is not practicable to make such purchase on such date, on the first date in which it is practicable to do so). If the amount of applicable currency is less than the amount expressed to be due to such person, then such payor shall indemnify it against any loss sustained by it as a result. In any event and to the fullest extent permitted by law, such payor shall indemnify such payee against the cost of making any such purchase. For the purposes of this paragraph, it shall be sufficient for such payee to certify in a reasonable manner (indicating the sources of information used) that it would have suffered a loss had an actual purchase of the applicable currency been made with the amount so received in such other currency on the date of receipt or recovery (or, if a purchase of the applicable currency on such date had not been practicable, on the first date on which it would have been practicable, it being required that the need for a change of the date be certified in the manner mentioned above). These indemnities constitute a separate and independent cause of action, shall apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by such payee and shall continue in full force and effect despite any other judgment, order, claim or proof for a liquidated amount in respect of any sum due hereunder.

18. Headings. The headings of the sections of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed a part of this Agreement.

19. Notices. All communications hereunder shall be in writing and, if sent to the Underwriters, shall be mailed or delivered to (i) Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, 200 West Street, New York, NY 10282, Attention-2198: Registration Department, (ii) Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, 1585 Broadway, New York, New York 10036, Attention: Equity Syndicate Desk, with a copy to the Legal Department, and (iii) with an additional copy to Cahill Gordon & Reindel LLP, 80 Pine St., New York, NY 10005 Attention: Corey Wright; if sent to either the Company, shall be mailed or delivered to Intelsat S.A. at 4, rue Albert Borschette, L-1246 Luxembourg, Attention: General Counsel; with a copy to Intelsat Corporation at 7900 Tysons One Place, McLean, Virginia 22102-5927, Attention: General Counsel; with an additional copy to Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz at 51 West 52nd Street, New York, New York 10019, Attention: Victor Goldfeld.

L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), the Underwriters are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies their respective clients, including the Company, which information may include the name and address of their respective clients, as well as other information that will allow the Underwriters to properly identify their respective clients.

Re	: Intelsat – Registration Statement - Form 6k

Dear Sirs,

1. We have acted as Luxembourg counsel to Intelsat S.A., a société anonyme organised under the laws of Luxembourg with its registered office at 4, rue Albert Borschette, L-1246 Luxembourg, registered with the Luxembourg Register of Commerce and Companies (the “RCS”) under number B 162135 (“the “Company”) in connection with the Company’s offering, pursuant to a prospectus supplement dated 11 June 2018 (the “Supplement”) to the registration statement on Form F-3 (the “Registration Statement”) filed on 6 June 2018 with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in respect of 15,498,652 new common shares of the Company of a nominal value of USD0.01 each (the “New Shares”) issued under the Delegate Decision.

2. This opinion is given to you in order to be filed as an exhibit 5.1 to the Form 6k furnished by the Company and incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement.

3. For the purpose of this opinion, we have reviewed the following documents:

3.1

an emailed scanned copy of the Registration Statement dated 6 June 2018;

3.2

an emailed scanned copy of the Supplement dated 11 June 2018;

3.3

a copy of the Company’s consolidated articles of association (statuts coordonnés) as at 29 May 2018 (the “Articles”) as last amended by a notarial deed dated 29 May 2018 recording share issuances of the Company until 2 May 2018 (the “Share Issue Record Date”);

3.4

an emailed scanned copy of the executed written resolutions of the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) dated 5 June 2018 in relation inter alia with the transaction committee (the “Transaction Committee”), the filing of the Registration Statement, the issue of new Shares within the Authorised Share Capital, the suppression of any subscription rights of existing shareholders of the Company in the context of any issue of new Shares and the delegation of powers to the Transaction Committee to issue such new Shares within the Authorised Share Capital (each capitalised term as defined below) (the “Board Resolutions”);

3.5

an emailed scanned copy of the resolutions of the Transaction Committee adopted on 5 June 2018 as certified by Michelle Bryan in a certificate dated 6 June 2018 to which such resolutions are attached (the “Transaction Committee Resolutions”) for the purpose of approving, inter alia, the filing of the Registration Statement;

3.6

an emailed scanned copy of the resolutions of the Transaction Committee and of the pricing sub-committee adopted on 11 June 2018 as certified by Michelle Bryan in a certificate dated 11 June 2018 to which such resolutions are attached (the “Transaction Committee/Pricing Resolutions”) for the purpose of determining inter alia the offer price of the New Shares and the number of New Shares;

3.7

an emailed scanned copy of the decision of the delegate of the Board and the Transaction Committee (the “Delegate Decision”) dated 14 June 2018 increasing the issued share capital of the Company and issuing the 15,498,652 New Shares;

3.8

an electronic certificat de non-inscription d’une décision judiciaire (certificate as to the non-inscription of a court decision) issued by the RCS dated 13 June 2018 certifying that as of 12 June 2018 no Luxembourg court decision as to inter alia the faillite, concordat préventif de faillite, gestion contrôlée, sursis de paiement, liquidation judiciaire (together, the “Luxembourg Insolvency Proceedings”) or foreign court decision as to faillite, concordat or other analogous procedures which have to be filed with the RCS in accordance with the law of 19 December 19 2002 on, inter alia, the RCS (the “Fileable Foreign Proceedings”) has been filed with the RCS in respect of the Company; and

3.9

an electronic extract issued by the RCS in relation to the Company dated 13 June 2018 (the “Extract”).

The

documents listed under paragraphs 3.1 through 3.9 are hereinafter referred to as the “Documents”.

4. We have made an enquiry on the website of the Bar of Luxembourg (Barreau de Luxembourg) (www.barreau.lu) on 13 June 2018 at 9:11 a.m. (Luxembourg time) as to whether a faillite (bankruptcy) ruling has been issued against the Company by a court in Luxembourg and

ELVINGER HOSS PRUSSEN

we have also made an enquiry in relation to the Company on the website of the RCS on 13 June 2018 at 9:10 a.m. (Luxembourg time) as to whether Luxembourg Insolvency Proceedings, a decision of liquidation volontaire (voluntary liquidation), or any Fileable Foreign Proceedings, or a decision appointing an interim administrator (administrateur provisoire) have been filed with the RCS with respect to the Company (together, the “Searches”). At the time of the relevant Searches, no court ruling declaring the Company subject to any Luxembourg Insolvency Proceedings or appointing an interim administrator (administrateur provisoire), and no Fileable Foreign Proceedings or decision of liquidation volontaire (voluntary liquidation) were on file with the RCS. It should be noted that such Searches are subject to disclaimers on the relevant websites, and do not reveal whether any such court ruling has been rendered, any such Fileable Foreign Proceeding commenced or decision taken which has not yet been registered or filed or does not yet appear on the relevant websites, or whether steps have been taken to declare the Company subject to any of the above proceedings or to decide a liquidation volontaire (voluntary liquidation). Thus, we cannot opine as to whether any such action has been initiated, court ruling rendered, Fileable Foreign Proceedings commenced or decision taken but not yet filed and published with the RCS. We have not made any enquiries other than those described in this section 4.

5. For this opinion, we have relied on the accuracy and completeness of the Articles. We do not express any opinion on unrecorded shares should shares of the Company have been issued in the period since the Share Issue Record Date and the date of this opinion (other than the 15,498,652 New Shares). We do not express an opinion on shares issued upon conversion or exercise of rights under convertible notes issued by the Company or any other debt securities, options, warrants or other instruments convertible into shares or otherwise giving the right to, or any other right giving the right to, obtain delivery of shares (the “Exercisable Securities”). We have furthermore assumed that all copies of documents that we have reviewed conform to the originals, that all originals are genuine and complete and that each signature thereon is the genuine signature of the individual featured as signatory on the document. In addition, we have assumed and have not verified: (i) the accuracy as to factual matters of each document we have reviewed; (ii) that the Board Resolutions are accurate, complete and up-to-date, reflect resolutions which were validly passed in duly convened and constituted meeting(s) of the Board or duly signed unanimous written resolutions of the Board and that such Board Resolutions are and remain in full force and effect without modification and have not been amended, rescinded or terminated and that the information contained therein is true, complete and accurate at the date of this opinion; (iii) that the Transaction Committee Resolutions and the Transaction Committee/Pricing Resolutions are accurate, complete and up-to-date, reflect resolutions which were validly passed in a duly convened and constituted meeting of the Transaction Committee and the pricing subcommittee respectively and that such Transaction Committee Resolutions and such the Transaction Committee/Pricing Resolutions are and remain in full force and effect without modification and have not been amended, rescinded or terminated and that the information contained therein is true, complete and accurate at the date of this opinion; (iv) that the Delegate Decision is accurate, complete and up-to-date, reflects decisions and resolutions which were validly passed by the delegate referred to therein and that such

ELVINGER HOSS PRUSSEN

Intelsat Announces Pricing of Concurrent Offerings of Common Shares and Convertible Notes

Luxembourg, 11 June, 2018

Intelsat S.A. (NYSE: I) today announced that it has priced its previously announced offering of 13,477,089 common shares, nominal value $0.01 per share (plus up to an additional 2,021,563 common shares potentially issuable pursuant to an option to purchase additional shares) at US$14.84 per common share. Intelsat has also priced its previously announced concurrent offering of US$350 million aggregate principal amount of 4.50% convertible senior notes due 2025 (the “notes”) (plus up to an additional US$52.5 million aggregate principal amount of notes pursuant to an option to purchase additional notes) in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933. The offering of common shares is expected to close on June 14, 2018. The offering of the notes is expected to close on June 18, 2018. The offerings are each subject to customary closing conditions. The note offering was upsized from an initially announced aggregate principal amount of US$300 million.

The notes will be convertible into common shares under specified circumstances, subject to Intelsat’s option to cash settle such conversions in whole or in part. The initial conversion rate will be 55.0085 common shares per US$1,000 principal amount of the notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately US$18.18 per common share), subject to adjustments under specified circumstances. The initial conversion price for the notes represents a conversion premium of approximately 22.5% over the common share offering price. The notes will accrue interest at an annual rate of 4.50%, payable semiannually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning December 15, 2018. The notes will mature on June 15, 2025, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted in accordance with their terms prior to such date.

The closing of the note offering is not contingent upon the closing of the common share offering, and the closing of the common share offering is not contingent upon the closing of the note offering.

Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and Morgan Stanley are acting as joint book-running managers for the common share offering.

R.C.S. Luxembourg B 162135

Intelsat currently expects that it will loan and/or contribute all or a portion of the net proceeds from the note offering and the common share offering to Intelsat Envision Holdings LLC, a new wholly-owned subsidiary of Intelsat (Luxembourg) S.A. (“Intelsat Luxembourg”) that will become the direct parent company to Intelsat Connect Finance S.A. and will guarantee Intelsat S.A.’s new convertible senior notes. Intelsat currently expects that it will use such net proceeds to purchase, by way of tender offer, open market purchases, and/or other means, the 7³⁄₄% Senior Notes due 2021 of Intelsat Luxembourg. If Intelsat is not able to purchase such notes at acceptable prices, Intelsat may seek to utilize such net proceeds for other general corporate purposes, including without limitation the purchase, redemption or repayment otherwise of other indebtedness of Intelsat Luxembourg or of Intelsat Connect Finance S.A.

Intelsat has filed a registration statement (including a prospectus) with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the common share offering. Investors in the common share offering are advised to read the prospectus in that registration statement, the related prospectus supplement and other documents Intelsat has filed with the SEC for more complete information about Intelsat and the common share offering. You may get these documents for free by visiting EDGAR on the SEC website at www.sec.gov. Alternatively, Intelsat, any underwriter or any dealer participating in the common share offering will arrange to send you the prospectus and related prospectus supplement if you request them by calling toll-free 1-866-471-2526.

The notes have been offered solely to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act. The notes and the common shares deliverable upon conversion of the notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the notes or the common shares deliverable upon conversion of the notes, nor will there be any sale of the notes or the common shares deliverable upon conversion of the notes in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
