SEE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE FILLING OUT! 3 This Amendment No. 3 amends the statement jointly filed by General Motors Corporation ("GM") and Hughes Communications, Inc. ("HCI", and together with GM, the "Reporting Persons") with respect to the shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share ("Common Stock"), of PanAmSat Corporation (the "Company). Item 4. Purpose of Transaction. ---------------------- Item 4 of Schedule 13D is amended as follows: GM has disclosed that due to the rapid consolidation in the media and telecommunications industries, it is now considering alternative strategic transactions involving Hughes Electronics Corporation, a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of GM ("HEC"), and other participants in those industries. Any such transaction might involve the separation of HEC (including HEC's interest in the Company) from GM. In connection with considering alternative transactions, GM and HEC anticipate reexamining the desirability of maintaining their present level of direct and indirect investments in certain businesses, including the Company. This could result in a disposition or reallocation of some or all of their ownership interests in the Company or, subject to the terms of the Standstill Restrictions (as defined in prior amendments to this Schedule 13D), an increase in such ownership. Any disposition could involve a merger or other transaction structure enabling a purchaser to acquire all of the equity or assets of the Company. There can be no assurance that GM will enter into any such strategic transaction involving HEC or that GM and HEC will enter into any transaction regarding their ownership interests in the Company. Any transaction involving the acquisition or disposition of shares of the Company would also depend on general market and economic conditions affecting the Company, GM's and HEC's views of the prospects for the Company, the price at which shares of the Company could be acquired or disposed of and other relevant factors. Except as discussed above, none of the Reporting Persons has any present plan or proposal which relates to, or could result in, any of the events referred to in paragraphs (a) through (j), inclusive, of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

Materials to be Filed as Exhibits. --------------------------------- Exhibit 1 Joint Filing Agreement, dated December 20, 2000 4 SIGNATURE After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.
