Item 8.01 Other Events.

In connection with our previously disclosed litigation against Rainbow DBS Holdings, Inc. ("Rainbow Holdings"), on June 25, 2008, the New York State Court of Appeals denied Rainbow Holdings’ motion for leave to appeal the unanimous decision of the Appellate Division, First Department, which affirmed (x) the final judgment of the Supreme Court of the State of New York awarding Loral Space & Communications Holdings Corporation ("Loral") damages in the total amount of $52 million and (y) the court’s order denying Rainbow Holding’s motion to set aside the verdict or for a new trial. Loral expects that Rainbow Holdings will in early July pay to Loral the judgment amount plus post-judgment interest for a total of approximately $58 million. As previously disclosed, a third party has asserted a prepetition claim against Loral in the amount of $3 million with respect to this recovery.
