Explanatory Note:   The Security to which this statement relates is the common
                    stock,  par value $.01 per share (the  "Common  Stock"),  of
                    PanAmSat   Corporation,    a   Delaware   corporation   (the
                    "Company").  Although no person  identified in Item 2 is the
                    record  owner of any  shares  of Common  Stock,  each of the
                    persons filing this statement is deemed to be the beneficial
                    owner of the shares of Common Stock reported with respect to
                    such  person in Item 4 by  virtue  of his or her  beneficial
                    ownership of the Company's  Class A Common Stock,  par value
                    $.01 per share (the "Class A Common  Stock").  Each share of
                    Class A Common Stock is convertible into one share of Common
                    Stock  at any  time  at the  option  of  the  holder.  Also,
                    Frederick A. Landman and Lourdes Saralegui  beneficially own
                    40,000  shares of Common  Stock and 30,000  shares of Common
                    Stock respectively, pursuant to a PanAmSat 1995 Stock Option
                    Plan.

                    Holders of the Common  Stock are  entitled  to cast one vote
                    per  share,  and  holders  of Class A Common  Stock  and the
                    Company's  Class B Common  Stock,  par value  $.01 per share
                    (the "Class B Common Stock"),  are entitled to cast 15 votes
                    per  share  on all  matters  submitted  to a vote of  common
                    stockholders.  The Common  Stock  votes (i) with the Class A
                    Common Stock for the election of a majority of the directors
                    of the  Company  and (ii) with the Class B Common  Stock for
                    the remaining  directors of the Company, in each case voting
                    together as a single class. In addition,  except as provided
                    in  the  Company's  Amended  and  Restated   Certificate  of
                    Incorporation or otherwise  required by law, the affirmative
                    vote of (a) the holders of a majority of the voting power of
                    the  Class A  Common  Stock  and the  Common  Stock,  voting
                    together  as a  single  class,  and  (b)  the  holders  of a
                    majority of the voting power of the Class B Common Stock and
                    the Common  Stock,  voting  together as a single  class,  is
                    required to approve all other matters submitted to a vote of
                    the Company's stockholders.

                    Except under certain specified circumstances,  each share of
                    the Class A Common Stock will convert automatically into one
                    share of the Common  Stock,  and  thereby  lose its  special
                    voting  rights,  in the event  such  share of Class A Common
                    Stock is  transferred  to any  person or entity  other  than
                    certain   specified   permitted   transferees   or  if  such
                    conversion   is  required   by  the  Federal   Communication
                    Commission or applicable law.

Item 4.             OWNERSHIP

                    Pursuant  to  the  Voting  Trust  Agreement,  Mary  Anselmo,
                    Reverge Anselmo, Frederick A. Landman and Lourdes Saralegui,
                    the joint  trustees of the Voting Trust  (collectively,  the
                    "Trustees"),  have the  ability  to direct the voting of all
                    shares of Class A Common Stock held by the Voting Trust. The
                    Trustees therefore have the ability to determine the outcome
                    of all  matters  submitted  for a vote of the Class A Common
                    Stock. Pursuant to the Voting Trust Agreement,  the Trustees
                    act  by  majority  vote,   except  for  the  designation  of
                    successor  trustees,  which  requires the unanimous  vote of
                    certain Trustees. In the event of a tie vote, Mary Anselmo's
                    vote will  control as long as she is a Trustee;  thereafter,
                    Reverge  Anselmo's  vote  will  control  as  long as he is a
                    Trustee.
