SingTel may make provisions for U.S. firm
[Singapore Telecom would be a nice pickup for G*...]

Monday August 30, 10:19 pm Eastern Time

SINGAPORE, Aug 31 (Reuters) - Singapore Telecommunications Ltd said on Tuesday
it may have to make provisions for its US$94 million investment in a satellite operator,
ICO Global Communications (Nasdaq:ICOGF - news).

ICO had filed for bankruptcy protection in the United States last week. The company is
struggling to build a global satellite communications network but failed recently to secure $600 million in financing
commitments.

``The $94 million is the total investment we had made in ICO. We are monitoring the situation and will make provisions if
and when necessary,' a SingTel spokeswoman said.

She added any such provision was not expected to have a material impact on the company's financial position.
