This Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D amends the Schedule 13D initially
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") by General
Electric Capital Corporation, GE Pacific-1 Holdings, Inc., GE Pacific-2
Holdings, Inc., GE Pacific-3 Holdings, Inc., GE International Holdings Inc., GE
CFE Luxembourg S.a r.l., GE CFE Luxembourg L.L.C, GE Capital CFE, Inc., GE
Capital Equity Holdings, Inc., General Electric Capital Services, Inc., and
General Electric Company on April 9, 2007, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto
filed with the SEC on April 25, 2007 (as so amended, the "Schedule 13D"),
relating to the common stock, par value HK$0.10 per share, of Asia Satellite
Telecommunications Holdings Limited. Unless otherwise defined herein, all
capitalized terms shall have the meaning given to them in the Schedule 13D, the
Scheme Document or the US Offer Document, dated May 25, 2007, that forms a part
of the Schedule TO-T filed with the SEC on May 25, 2007 by Asia Satellite
Telecommunications Holdings Limited, AsiaCo Acquisition Ltd., Able Star
Associates Limited, GE Capital Equity Investments, Inc., Bowenvale Limited,
CITIC Group, and General Electric Capital Corporation (the "Schedule TO-T"),
which Schedule TO-T and subsequent amendments thereto are filed herewith as
Exhibits 99.11, 99.12 and 99.13, respectively.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
-------------------------------------------------
The response set forth in Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by
adding to the end of Item 3 the following:
The Offers were financed from the existing resources of CITIC Group
and GECC.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
-----------------------
The response set forth in Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by
adding to the end of Item 4 the following.
On June 26, 2007, AsiaCo Acquisition Ltd. (the "Offeror") and Asia
Satellite Telecommunications Holdings Limited jointly issued a press release
(the "Third Press Release"), announcing that, as at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday, June
26, 2007 (Hong Kong time), and 4:00 a.m. on Tuesday, June 26, 2007 (New York
time), being the last time for receiving acceptances under the Offers, the
Offeror had received (i) valid acceptances under the Share Offer in respect of
19,345,825 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 4.95% of AsiaSat's
entire issued share capital; and (ii) valid acceptances under the US Share Offer
in respect of 2,923,870 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 0.75%
of AsiaSat's entire issued share capital. This paragraph is qualified in its
entirety by reference to the Third Press Release, which is attached hereto as
Exhibit 99.14 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Prior to the Offers, the Offeror held no shares of Common Stock,
although Bowenvale, a person presumed under the Takeovers Code to be acting in
concert with the Offeror, beneficially owned in aggregate 268,905,000 shares of
Common Stock, representing approximately 68.74% of AsiaSat's issued share
capital. No shares of Common Stock have been acquired or agreed to be acquired
during the Offer Period by the Offeror or any persons acting in concert with the
Offeror otherwise than pursuant to the Offers.
Taking into account the valid acceptances tendered under the Share
Offer and the US Share Offer, the Offeror and persons acting in concert with it
are interested in 291,174,695 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately
--------------------------------- --------------------------------
CUSIP No. 763991-02-3 13D Page 14 of 18 Pages
--------------------------------- --------------------------------
74.4% of AsiaSat's entire issued share capital as of the date of the Third Press
Release.
Following the close of the Offers, approximately 25.6% of the
AsiaSat Shares are held by the public. If the number of holders of AsiaSat
Shares resident in the United States falls below 300 or AsiaSat otherwise
becomes eligible for de-registration under the Exchange Act, CITIC Group and
GECC intend to cause the Company to file with the SEC to request that the
Company's reporting obligations under the Exchange Act be terminated or
suspended. In due course, it is expected that the maintenance of the ADS listing
on the NYSE will be re-examined by AsiaSat and the Board, the outcome of which
may be to terminate such listing.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
------------------------------------
The response set forth in Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by
adding to the end of Item 5(a) and Item 5(c) the following:
(a) The GE Entities hold a 50% interest in the Offeror, which
currently owns 22,269,695 shares of the Common Stock, representing approximately
5.7% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock.
The Reporting Persons hereby disclaim beneficial ownership of
11,134,847 of the shares of Common Stock that are held by the Offeror, as being
attributable to Able Star's beneficial ownership interest in the Offeror.
(c) Other than the acquisition by the Offeror of 22,269,695 shares
of Common Stock upon the closing of the Offers, no Reporting Person has effected
any other transaction in the Common Stock during the past 60 days. To the
Reporting Persons' knowledge, none of their respective directors or officers has
effected any transactions in the Common Stock during the past 60 days.
Item 7. Materials to be Filed as Exhibits.
---------------------------------
Item 7 is hereby amended and supplemented by the addition of the following
exhibits:
