SES Statement on Proton Failure to Launch JCSAT II

SES (Paris:SESG) (LuxX:SESG) notes with regret the failure of the
Proton launch of the JCSAT II satellite from Baikonur last night.

SES has two satellites scheduled for launch on Proton this year,
SIRIUS 4 in October and AMERICOM 14 in December. The launch date of
these spacecraft will be subject to a delay pending the findings of
the official inquiry into the launch failure.

No revenue from these two satellites was foreseen in 2007 and
there will therefore be no impact on SES's financial guidance for
2007."
