Hanwha offloads Eutelsat stake as Starlink rival seeks new investors
South Korea's Hanwha Systems said on Thursday it was selling its entire 5.4 percent stake in Eutelsat for 77.6 million euros ($88.5 million), as the Franco-British satellite operator seeks new investors. Eutelsat has garnered unprecedented attention this year from governments looking for home-grown alternatives to SpaceX's Starlink for satellite internet connectivity. The company is working on a new financing plan to fund the second generation of its low Earth orbit (LEO) OneWeb satellites and to fulfil commitments to the European Union's IRIS² project. It has piled up hundreds of millions of euros in losses, particularly from its waning video business, while its 2023 acquisition of OneWeb has yet to yield the results it had hoped for due to competition and delayed deployment of technology. Finance chief Christophe Caudrelier said in May that Eutelsat was looking for capital investors. Hanwha's shares were offered at 3.00 euros ($3.42) apiece, representing a 13.9 percent discount to Eutelsat's closing price of 3.48 euros on Wednesday, a term sheet from bookrunner Citi showed. It also marks a steep 70.5 percent loss on Hanwha's initial $300 million investment made in OneWeb in 2021, with the stake now valued at just $88.5 million. Eutelsat's Paris-listed shares fell 14.8 percent by 0920 GMT. Only 21 percent of Eutelsat's shares are publicly traded, making the stock prone to sharp price swings. However, the yield on its 2029 9.75 percent bond fell to 7.71 percent, showing a positive shift in bondholder confidence. Hanwha said the sale, which was set to be concluded on Thursday, was not driven by an investment perspective but by a strategic shift to focus more on its core business operations. "This decision reflects a long-term strategy to concentrate on defense-related satellites and military communications, rather than on civilian satellite operations and services," Hanwha said in a statement to Reuters. A representative for the South Korean company resigned from Eutelsat's board in April, signalling its diminishing involvement with the satellite operator. Major overhaul When asked by Reuters, Eutelsat said none of the other shareholders had expressed interest in selling their shares. A company spokesperson declined to comment on media reports saying France may raise its stake in the group. Bloomberg News and The Telegraph have reported that France is considering doubling its stake in Eutelsat and is in talks to raise 1.5 billion euros. Eutelsat is also reshuffling its upper echelons. In a surprise move last month, it appointed Jean-François Fallacher as its new CEO and it is looking for a new chairperson after the current one announced his departure in February. Hanwha became a shareholder in OneWeb before it merged with Eutelsat, and it is one of OneWeb's distributors in South Korea as part of an agreement signed in 2023 with the aim of securing LEO communications for the government and providing internet access to underserved areas. Last week, South Korea's Science Ministry granted licenses to Starlink and Eutelsat OneWeb to operate in the country, with services expected to be launched soon.

Canadians welcome King Charles after Trump takeover threats
OTTAWA, Ontario (AFP) — King Charles III was given an enthusiastic welcome on Monday by Canadians who turned out in droves to see their monarch on his historic visit to open parliament, as part of the pushback against US President Donald Trump's annexation threats. The 76-year-old king, who is Canada's head of state as part of the Commonwealth, was greeted at the airport by Prime Minister Mark Carney, who has invited him to give an address opening Canada's new legislature on Tuesday. "This historic honor matches the weight of our times," Carney said. On their first stop in the Canadian capital, the royals visited a farmer's market, where they were cheered by thousands of Canadians. The king also dropped the puck for a street hockey game. The so-called throne speech outlining the government's priorities is typically given by the British monarch's representative in Canada, the governor general. Queen Elizabeth II, the king's late mother, delivered a throne speech in Canada just twice during her long reign, in 1957 and 1977. Charles, making his first visit to Canada since his coronation, has never commented on Trump's repeated talk of making Canada the 51st US state. But he will be closely watched for any comments on Canada's sovereignty, and on trade. Trump has slapped tariffs on Canadian goods including sector-specific levies on autos, steel and aluminum, rattling the Canadian economy, although he has suspended some of them pending negotiations. Momentous occasion Queen Camilla is accompanying Charles on the 24-hour visit to Ottawa. Carney has said his newly-elected government has been given a mandate "to define a new economic and security relationship with the United States," a neighbor he believes Canada "can no longer trust." He has promised to curb reliance on trade with the United States by boosting internal commerce while forging deeper economic ties with allies overseas. The government's path to build up Canada and create new relationships will be outlined in Charles's speech, Carney said Monday. A government statement described the visit as "a momentous and historic occasion that underscores Canada's identity and sovereignty as a constitutional monarchy." Trump repeatedly returned to his annexation musings during Carney's Oval Office visit earlier this month, insisting it would be a "wonderful marriage." Carney stood his ground, saying Canada was "never for sale." Trump's envoy to Canada, Ambassador Pete Hoekstra, dismissed the notion that inviting Charles to open parliament was an effective way to make a statement on annexation. According to him, the annexation issue is "over." But, among the throngs that showed up to welcome the royals, Robert Brown, 64, said: "I think it's a very subtle form of diplomacy. A good one." Once in a lifetime After Charles and Camilla landed in Ottawa in the afternoon, they were received by Governor General Mary Simon and other dignitaries before meeting community organizations. They also planted a tree at the governor general's estate, and Charles held audiences with Carney and Indigenous leaders. At the Senate on Tuesday, the monarch will receive full military honors before delivering the throne speech. Noah Marshall told Agence France-Presse he couldn't miss this "once in a lifetime opportunity to come see the royals." The 24-year-old also noted that because Trump seems to respect the King, "that's a good kind of signal to him."
