SES FAILS IN BID FOR ISRAEL'S SPACECOM

摘要

SES appears to have failed in a bid to acquire Space Communications of Tel Aviv, operator of the Amos telecommunications satellite network, although the future shareholding structure of the Israeli company remains unclear. The Spacecom board of directors said on Feb. 7 that it had rejected an unsolicited, non-binding tender submitted by SES on Jan. 22 as part of a strategy of seeking modest acquisitions to fill holes in its global satellite network, the world's second largest after Intelsat/PanAmSat.
