BSkvB Renews SES Transponder Leases

摘要

Britain's BSkyB satellite-television broadcaster has renewed long-term leases on 24 transponders at satellite-fleet operator SES's 28.2 degrees east orbital slot in what is expected to be one of the year's largest satellite-broadcast transactions, London-based BSkyB and SES of Luxembourg announced.rnSeparately, SES announced that it had sold a five-year bond valued at 650 million euros ($914 million) in a transaction that SES said July 1 was 5.8 times oversubscribed by investors in the United States and Europe. SES said the bond pays 4.875 percent interest.
