By Jennifer Chiou

New York, June 30 - PanAmSat Holding Corp. announced another extension of its tender offer for its $416 million principal amount at maturity of 10 3/8% senior discount notes due 2014, this time to 9 a.m. ET on July 3 from midnight ET on June 30.

The tender offer was previously set to expire at midnight ET on June 26.

As of 9 a.m. ET on June 30, holders tendered $414.5 million or 99.6% of the notes.

At the consent deadline of 10 a.m. ET on June 14, the company said holders of $371.1 million or 89.2% of the notes had tendered their securities. The company previously said it executed a supplemental indenture after receiving the necessary consents.

The consent deadline had been pushed back from 5 p.m. ET on June 12.

For each $1,000 principal amount at maturity of notes, holders will receive $739.19 or 103.5% of the accreted value of the notes on June 30, up from $720.12, which represents 101% of the accreted value as of June 26. The accreted amount of the notes as of June 26, the expiration date, will be $296.6 million.
