Item 9. Regulation FD Disclosure.
On December 4, 2000, R. Douglas Kahn, President and Chief Executive
Officer of PanAmSat Corporation ("PanAmSat" or the "Company") and
Michael J. Inglese, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer
of PanAmSat will make a slide presentation to securities analysts and
investors at the UBS Warburg Media Conference in New York, New York.
The slide presentation contains, among other things, forward looking
information about the Company's subsidiary, NET/36, Inc., and can be
viewed in the Investor Relations section of our website at
http://www.panamsat.com.
-----------------------
Such slide presentation contains forward-looking information as to
which there are numerous risks and uncertainties that could cause
actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking
information made therein. Actual results may differ materially from
anticipated results as a result of certain risks and uncertainties,
which are more specifically set forth in the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999, on file with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. These risks and uncertainties
include but are not limited to (i) risks associated with technology
(included without limitation, delayed launches, launch failures and
in-orbit failures), (ii) regulatory risks, including the ability to
obtain export licenses, (iii) risks of uninsured loss, (iv) risks
associated with the Company's new Internet initiatives, including
without limitation, typical risks associated with entering a new and
untested business segment, and (v) litigation. PanAmSat cautions that
the foregoing list of important factors is not exclusive. Further,
PanAmSat operates in an industry sector where securities values may be
influenced by economic and other factors beyond PanAmSat's control.
The information in this report is furnished pursuant to Item 9 and
shall not be deemed to be "filed" for the purposes of Section 18 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or otherwise subject to the liabilities
of that section. This report will not be deemed an admission as to the
materiality of any information in the report that is required to be
disclosed solely by Regulation FD.
