SES confirms end of merger talks with Intelsat

SES and Intelsat had been negotiating a deal for at least three months. 

Satellite operator SES has announced that discussions regarding a possible combination with Intelsat have ceased.

On March 29, 2023, SES confirmed that the company engaged in discussions with Intelsat and that there could be no certainty that a transaction would materialise.

Intelsat said: “The company engages in strategic conversations with potential partners on a regular basis, and we do not publicly comment on the content or outcome of those discussions. The Intelsat team has orchestrated a remarkable business turnaround over the past year-plus, and we are well-positioned as a market and strategy leader in the satellite communications industry. We are focused on providing solutions and customer service that are second to none, on delivering robust value to investors, and on ensuring Intelsat is a great place for our people to make a career.”
