    PRESS RELEASE ASTRA 1N ARRIVES IN KOUROU FOR LAUNCH ONBOARD ARIANE 5 Satellite to provide Direct-to-Home television across Europe Luxembourg, 19 May 2011 - SES (Euronext Paris and Luxembourg Stock Exchange: SESG) today announced that the ASTRA 1N satellite designed and manufactured by Astrium for SES has arrived at the European space Center in Kourou, French Guiana, in preparation for its launch by an Ariane 5 vehicle early July 2011. ASTRA 1N will deliver direct-to-home (DTH) services, notably digital and high definition (HD) television with pan-European coverage, and is planned to mainly serve the German, French and Spanish markets. The satellite will first provide interim capacity at 28.2° East, and will subsequently be moved to19.2° East, its final orbital position. As prime contractor for ASTRA 1N, Astrium has supplied both the payload and the Eurostar E3000 platform for this satellite equipped with 62 transponders in the Ku frequency band. ASTRA 1N will have a launch mass of 5,350 kg and a spacecraft power of 13 kW at the end of its 15-year design life. Launch and Early Orbit Phase operations will be conducted from the Astrium spacecraft control centre in Toulouse, France. ASTRA 1N will be the fourth Eurostar satellite in the ASTRA fleet following the successful launch of ASTRA 3B in May 2010. Astrium’s Eurostar series has accumulated nearly 400 years of successful in-orbit operations. Astrium is currently in the process of designing and manufacturing five more satellites for SES based on its Eurostar E3000 platform: ASTRA 2E, ASTRA 2F, ASTRA 2G and ASTRA 5B are all scheduled for launch between 2012 and 2014 and are designed to deliver high quality broadcast, VSAT and broadband services in Europe and Africa for SES; whilst SES-6 will support SES’ growth in Latin America, offering 50 percent more C-Band capacity for the cable community, and retaining the unique capability to distribute content between the Americas and Europe on the same high powered beam.

(Euronext Paris and Luxembourg Stock Exchange: SESG) reports financial results for the three months to 31 March 2011. FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS • Revenue of EUR 428.4 million (+4.2 %) Recurring1 revenue grew 3.1% to EUR 428.4 million • EBITDA of EUR 321.5 million (+3.5%) Recurring EBITDA grew 3.0% to EUR 323.8 million Recurring EBITDA margin of 75.6% • Operating profit of EUR 206.3 million (+6.7%) • Profit of the group of EUR 149.4 million (+40.1%) • Earnings per A-share rose 40.7% to EUR 0.38 (2010: EUR 0.27) • Closing net debt / EBITDA of 2.80 times Romain Bausch, President and CEO, commented: “SES’ financial results are on track, reflecting business developments in the first quarter. A number of contracts were signed for new Direct-To-Home (DTH) and broadband services in Europe, and the development of HD programming in Germany was given a boost as the German public broadcasters committed to five transponders to follow the termination of analogue broadcasting in April 2012. New capacity agreements for broadcast and broadband services in Central and Latin America were signed, and additional capacity was contracted for global maritime services. Following the commercialisation of all available DTH capacity for India, we have ordered a new satellite, SES-8, to provide additional capacity for that fast- growing market. SES has reorganised its activities under a streamlined management structure, which will optimise the execution of our growth strategy.
