Business Wire, April 3, 2008

BETZDORF, Luxembourg -- SES S.A. (Paris:SESG) (LuxX:SESG) today announced that its shareholders have approved all resolutions presented at their annual general meeting held today in Betzdorf, Luxembourg.

The shareholders notably approved the company's 2007 accounts and the proposed dividend of EUR 0.60 per share ( 36% compared to 2006), which will be paid on April 23rd, 2008.

The resolution to renew the authorisation to repurchase the company's own shares was approved. This resolution enables SES to continue its share buyback programme, one of the three elements of the company's strategy to create value for shareholders. SES's financial strength and liquidity provides a strong foundation for the continuation of its growth strategy of further investment in satellite infrastructure, increasing dividends and share buyback/cancellation activities.

Shareholders at the annual general meeting also re-elected 16 members of SES' Board of Directors and appointed Bridget Cosgrave as a new member of the Board. Cosgrave was with Belgacom SA from 2001-2007 as a member of the company's Executive Committee.

Following the shareholders' meeting, the new Board of Directors reappointed Rene Steichen as Chairman, and elected two Vice Chairpersons: Francois Tesch and Jean-Paul Zens.
