5 This Amendment No. 9 amends the Schedule 13D dated May 27, 1997, as amended in certain respects by Amendments Nos. 1 through 8 thereto, and is filed by The DIRECTV Group, Inc. ("The DIRECTV Group"), Hughes Communications, Inc. ("HCI"), Hughes Communications Galaxy, Inc. ("HCG") and Hughes Communications Satellite Services, Inc. ("HCSS", and, collectively with The DIRECTV Group, HCI and HCG, the "Reporting Persons") with respect to the shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Common Stock"), of PanAmSat Corporation (the "Company"). As previously disclosed on Schedule 13D, HCG and HCSS are wholly-owned subsidiaries of HCI. HCI is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hughes Telecommunications & Space Company ("HTS"), and HTS is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The DIRECTV Group. The responses to Item 4 (Purpose of Transaction) and Item 5 (Interest in Securities of the Issuer) are hereby amended as follows: Item 4. Purpose of Transaction. ---------------------- As previously reported, on April 20, 2004, The DIRECTV Group and its wholly owned subsidiary, PAS Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("PAS Merger Sub"), entered into a Transaction Agreement (the "Transaction Agreement") with the Company and Constellation, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Constellation"), which is an entity affiliated with Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. ("KKR"). Pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, on August 20, 2004, the Company repurchased 95,724,727.6562 shares of Common Stock from the Reporting Persons for approximately $21.84 in cash per share. The Reporting Persons' 25,087,447.3438 remaining shares of Common Stock were then purchased by affiliates of KKR, The Carlyle Group and Providence Equity Partners Inc. for approximately $21.84 in cash per share. Consequently, the Reporting Persons have disposed of their entire equity interest in the Company and are no longer the beneficial owners of any shares of Common Stock of the Company. Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer. ------------------------------------ (a) The information in Rows (11) through (13) of the cover pages of this Amendment No. 9 is incorporated herein by reference. As of August 20, 2004, the Reporting Persons no longer beneficially own any shares of Common Stock. (b) The information in (i) Rows (7) through (10) of the cover pages of this Amendment No. 9 and (ii) Item 5(a) hereof is incorporated herein by reference. (c) The information set forth in Item 4 of this Amendment No. 9 is incorporated herein by reference. (d) Not applicable. (e) The Reporting Persons ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the Common Stock of the Company on August 20, 2004. 6 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.
