SATS SPECTRUM ANALYSIS / VALUATIONS IN BANKRUPTCY

WHAT:  NEW STREET RESEARCH US Policy Analyst, Blair Levin, and US Telco Analyst, Jonathan Chaplin, will be hosting a call on WEDNESDAY, JUNE 18TH, 11AM ET.
​​​​​
​​​​WHY: The call should offer a good opportunity to discuss a number of key themes including the following:

• Discussions as to whether SATS and the FCC can resolve all key issues in the next 30 Days before DISH defaults on its bonds?
• How much pressure can FCC Chair Brendan Carr place on Ergen as relates to his Chapter 11 threat?
• Opportunity to discuss scenarios where SATs files for Ch.11 and sell its spectrum.
• Discussion of the process around spectrum sales in Chapter 11, whether these happen through an FCC-approved auction or could they be privately done?
• Who has jurisdiction over a spectrum sale in Chapter 11, the bankruptcy court, or the FCC?
• For any buyer of spectrum, what power does the FCC have as far as the process around utilization of the spectrum, once transferred from DISH,
• Can the FCC take a substantial portion of any spectrum sale proceeds, as part of a negotiation to allow transfers to happen?
