ISP-PDR-20070531-00009 P
SkyWave Mobile Communications, Corp. (SkyWave or the "Petitioner") requests a declaratory ruling that it is in the public interest for SkyWave
to have indirect foreign ownership in excess of the 25 percent benchmark under section 310(b)(4) of the Communications Act of 1934, as
amended.  Specifically, SkyWave seeks approval for up to 100% indirect foreign ownership by the current named shareholders of its ultimate
parent company, SkyWave Mobile Communications, Inc. (SMCI).  In addition, SkyWave seeks approval for indirect foreign ownership interests
that would be held by certain named foreign individuals and entities upon their conversion of warrants and stock options held in SMCI, which
would dilute the ownership interests of SMCI's current shareholders.  Finally, SkyWave seeks approval for additional investment by the foreign
individuals and entities named in the petition, and by new foreign investors, up to and including an additional, aggregate 25% indirect equity
and/or voting interests without seeking further Commission approval under section 310(b)(4).  SkyWave has filed a companion application for
consent to the pro forma transfer of control of its blanket mobile earth terminal license (File No. SES-T/C-20070531-00738) and an amendment to
its pending Title III application to use the Inmarsat 4F2 satellite (SES-AMD-20070531-00739) in its provision of Inmarsat D+ service.
SkyWave is a Delaware corporation that is wholly owned by SkyWave Mobile Holdings, Corp. (SMHC), a Delaware holding company.  SMHC,
in turn, is wholly owned by SMCI, a Canadian corporation.  On January 8, 2004, the Commission issued SkyWave a declaratory ruling that
approved its 100% indirect foreign ownership by SMCI and SMCI's named Canadian shareholders, subject to certain conditions.  Public Notice,
DA 04-25, 19 FCC Rcd 275 (IB 2004) (granting ISP-PDR-20030311-00006) ("2004 Ruling").  According to the Petitioner, on April 20, 2007,
new shareholders acquired ownership interests in SMCI as part of a new round of financing.  Petitioner states that, when these new shareholdings
are combined with existing shareholdings not previously approved in the 2004 Ruling, the combined amount exceeds the allowance permitted
under the ruling for an additional, aggregate 25% indirect foreign equity and voting interests in SkyWave.
Petitioner seeks approval for the following individuals and entities to hold indirect equity and voting interests in SkyWave, in addition to the
shareholders previously approved in the 2004 Ruling:  Mahkota SA (organized in Luxembourg with a principal place of business in Luxembourg
or Brunei) (25.16%); Partenon Holdings, LLC (U.S.-organized with a principal place of business in Brazil) (2.52%); GTI V, LP and GTI V (NR),
LP (both organized and principally conducting business in Canada (collectively, 8.37%); 1168433 Ontario, Inc. (organized and principally
conducting business in Canada) (0.26%); and four named Canadian citizens (collectively, 0.69%).  SMCI shareholders approved in the 2004
Ruling continue to hold equity and voting interests as specified in the petition, at levels below those approved in the 2004 Ruling.
Petitioner also requests approval for warrants and stock options for SMCI so that these convertible interests can be redeemed without further
Commission approval under section 310(b)(4).  In particular, MMV Financial, a Canadian corporation with its principal place of business in
Canada, holds warrants that, if exercised, would represent an equity and voting interest of approximately 1.29% based on the current number of
outstanding shares of SMCI.  SkyWave also seeks approval for stock options that have been granted but not exercised under SMCI's employee
stock option plan.  The named individuals that hold granted stock options are citizens of Canada, Brazil, China, Peru, Singapore, Hong Kong, and
Mexico.
Petitioner asserts that, pursuant to the rules and policies established in the Commission's Foreign Participation Order, 12 FCC Rcd 23891 (1997),
Order on Reconsideration, 15 FCC Rcd 18158 (2000), the indirect foreign equity and voting interests for which it seeks approval are consistent
with the public interest.
