Property, Plant and Equipment

SES
is headquartered in Betzdorf, Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and it is home to the company’s administrative headquarters and one of its prime satellite operation centers. The land that underlies SES’s Luxembourg operations is partially owned,
and partially leased on a long-term basis from the government of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, pursuant to a lease that expires in 2029.

SES also has key offices in The Hague (Netherlands), Reston (Virginia), Bristow (Virginia), Washington D.C., Unterföhring (Germany),
Bucharest (Romania), São Paulo (Brazil), Dubai and Singapore. In Israel, SES has an office and a teleport at Emek HaEla. In total, SES leases or owns more than 25 sites where major satellite services centers, teleports and offices are located
(excluding third-party teleports and points of presence). The satellite operations facility of LuxGovSat S.A., a joint venture between SES and the Luxembourg government, is also located in Luxembourg.

SES’s principal tangible assets are its satellites, its teleports and its ground network. SES uses a worldwide ground network to operate
its satellite fleet and to manage the communications services that it provides to its customers. The ground infrastructure network is mainly composed of telemetry and control (TT&C) and/or data/video service uplink/downlink sites and
communications systems monitoring sites. The earth stations in SES’s ground network provide commercial TT&C and/or data/video service uplink/downlink and beam-monitoring services. SES owns teleports in the U.S., Luxembourg and Germany and
leases facilities at more than 50 other locations for satellite/commercial operations worldwide (excluding SES Space & Defense sites and SOHO (Small Office / Home Office) type offices). SES also contracts with the owners of some of these
facilities for the provision of additional services. SES’s network also consists of the leased communications links that
