("HCI"), Hughes Communications Galaxy, Inc. ("HCG") and Hughes Communications Satellite Services, Inc. ("HCSS", and, collectively with GM, Hughes, HCI and HCG, the "Reporting Persons") with respect to the shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share ("Common Stock"), of PanAmSat Corporation (the "Company"). The responses to Item 2 (Identity and Background), Item 4 (Purpose of Transaction), Item 5 (Interest in Securities of the Issuer), and Item 7 (Material to be filed as Exhibits) are hereby amended as follows: Item 2: Identity and Background. This statement is being filed jointly by GM, Hughes, HCI, HCG and HCSS. Hughes is a Delaware corporation. The address of each of Hughes', HCI's, HCG's and HCSS' principal office is 2250 E. Imperial Highway, El Segundo, California 90245. The names, business addresses, principal businesses and citizenship of the directors and executive officers of each of Hughes, HCI, HCG and HCSS are set forth on Schedule I hereto and incorporated by reference herein. The principal businesses of Hughes are providing digital television entertainment, broadband satellite networks and services and video and data broadcasting. As previously disclosed in Schedule 13D, HCG and HCSS are wholly-owned subsidiaries of HCI. HCI is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hughes Telecommunications & Space Company ("HTS"); and HTS is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hughes. During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons nor, to the best of their knowledge, any of the executive officers or directors of any of the Reporting Persons, has been (i) convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (ii) a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and, as a result of such proceeding, was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining such future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws. Item 4. Purpose of Transaction. As previously reported in Schedule 13D, Hughes, The News Corporation Limited and GM entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 9, 2003, as amended (the "Stock Purchase Agreement"). In connection with the Stock Purchase Agreement, Hughes and GM entered into a Separation Agreement, dated as of April 9, 2003 (the "Separation Agreement"), which provided for the split-off of Hughes from GM. The transactions contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement and the Separation Agreement were consummated on December 22, 2003, and Hughes has been split off from GM. Consequently, Hughes is no longer a wholly-owned subsidiary of GM and, as a result, GM is no longer the beneficial owner of any shares of Common Stock of the Company. None of the Reporting Persons has any present plan or proposal which relates to, or could result in, any of the events referred to in paragraphs (a) through (j), inclusive, of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. However, as 7 part of its strategic planning, management of Hughes from time to time examines its investment in the Company. Depending on general market and economic conditions affecting the Company, Hughes' views of the prospects for the Company, the price at which shares of the Company could be acquired or sold and other relevant factors, HCI, HCG, HCSS or their respective affiliates from time to time may seek to acquire additional shares of Common Stock, or dispose of shares of Common Stock, in open market transactions, private transactions or otherwise. Item 5: Interest in Securities of the Issuer. (a) The responses of the Reporting Persons to Rows (11) through (13) of the cover pages of this Amendment No. 7 are incorporated herein by reference. As of December 31, 2003, the Reporting Persons beneficially owned the number of shares of Common Stock listed below, representing approximately the percentage of the outstanding shares of Common Stock set forth opposite such number (based on 150,103,784 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of November 3, 2003). -------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------- Person Number of Shares Percent of Class -------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------- Hughes Electronics Corporation 120,812,175 80.5% -------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------- Hughes Communications, Inc. 14,477,240 9.6% -------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------- Hughes Communications Galaxy, Inc. 88,605,390 59.0% -------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------- Hughes Communications Satellite Services, 17,729,545 11.8% Inc. -------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------- (b) The responses of the Reporting Persons to (i) Rows (7) through (10) of the cover pages of this Amendment No. 7 and (ii) Item 5(a) hereof are incorporated herein by reference. Hughes acting through HTS, indirectly has power to vote or direct the vote, and to dispose or to direct the disposition of the shares of Common Stock. As a result, Hughes may be deemed to beneficially own the shares of Common Stock directly owned by HCI, HCG and HCSS. (c) Not Applicable. (d) Except as stated in this Item 5, to the best of the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, no other person has the right to receive dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the shares of Common Stock owned by the Reporting Persons. (e) Not Applicable. Item 7. Material to be Filed as Exhibits.
