EUTELSAT – ONE NAME, ONE GROUP, ONE FLEET

Eutelsat Communications (Euronext Paris: ETL) announces that from 1 March 2012 it will be unifying the names of its satellites around the established Eutelsat brand. From this date, the Group’s satellites will take the Eutelsat name associated with the relevant figure for their orbital position and a letter indicating their order of arrival at that position. This new system has been devised to support Eutelsat’s efforts to communicate its satellite branding and deployment in a consistent and homogenous way.
