Strand XVI is the general partner of Highland Fund Advisors. Highland Fund Advisors is the investment advisor to the Global Fund and the Income Fund. NexPoint GP is the general partner of NexPoint. NexPoint is the investment advisor to the NexPoint Fund. Strand is the general partner of Highland Capital. Highland Capital serves as the investment advisor to a private fund (the “HCM Fund” and collectively with the Global Fund, the Income Fund and the NexPoint Fund, the “Funds”) and the investment advisor to Highland Services. This Amendment relates to the voting common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Loral Space & Communications Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), held by (i) the Funds (ii) Highland Capital and (iii) Highland Services.
