SAT-GE Announces New Executive Team



    SAT-GE (NYSE:GE), the newly announced satellite operator in the
    Pacific region, has today completed the appointment of its leadership
    team. Drawing on key executives from the industry across the globe,
    SAT-GE will be managed by corporate executives from its holding group,
    GE International Holdings Inc.

    SAT-GE's Management Team:

    Paul Heinerscheid, President & CEO

    Andrew Jordan, General Manager and VP Sales

    David Crenshaw, VP Sales North America

    Andy Frost, VP Marketing & Business Development

    Ronny Svang, VP Finance & CFO

    Jim Lynch, VP & General Counsel

    Operations will be managed from Singapore and Sydney by Andrew
    Jordan, who joins SAT-GE after 5 years with Loft Communications, where
    he was founder and Managing Director. Andrew has over 16 years
    experience in the satellite industry and has held senior executive
    management positions in AsiaSat, PanAmSat and Measat.

    "GE-23 is a unique asset for SAT-GE, ideally positioned between
    North America and East Asia. It can be used to deliver content and
    services in and around the Pacific basin. With the forthcoming
    Olympics in China it is the ideal platform on which to transport video
    coverage of this important event in Asia" said Andrew Jordan, General
    Manager and VP Sales, "I am really looking forward to the challenge of
    making SAT-GE a success and delivering strong growth for the
    business".

    Andrew will be supported by David Crenshaw who has responsibility
    for sales in North America. David brings over 20 years of industry
    experience to the job having held previous senior and executive
    appointments in sales and business development for companies such as
    Intelsat, Spacenet, iBeam Broadcasting and Compression Labs.

    Certain members of the team also have executive responsibilities
    in the management of Satlynx, the satellite managed services provider,
    based in Luxembourg and another business within GE International
    Holdings Inc. Satlynx offers corporate networking, wholesale broadband
    and managed services across the globe and is a customer of SAT-GE for
    satellite capacity over the Pacific region.

    "Although there is commonality between Satlynx and SAT-GE, we are
    running them as separate businesses," said Paul Heinerscheid,
    President & CEO, SAT-GE. "For cost efficiency reasons it makes sense
    to subcontract organisational and support functions to Satlynx where
    we have a fully functional and self-contained business. Operationally,
    SAT-GE and Satlynx are very different and sales and accounting
    separation will be maintained between the businesses".

    SAT-GE has offices in both Singapore and North America (Washington
    DC) and employs a team of talented professionals with substantial
    experience in the industry.

    SAT-GE provides satellite capacity on GE-23 across the Pacific
    basin, encompassing 6 individual beams, 5 Ku-band and 1 C-band, that

    Alcatel Space, a series 4100 spacecraft, with a minimum useful life of
    15 years. Launched on 29 December 2005, GE-23 delivers internet
    applications, VSAT, data and telecommunications services, and cable
