Eutelsat owned 22.9% of the company as of October 2021 and OneWeb’s other investors include satellite services provider Hughes Network Systems, telecommunications and internet group SoftBank and Hanwha Systems, a smart technology subsidiary of conglomerate Hanwha. OneWeb’s backers will get 230 million newly issued Eutelsat shares that will represent 50% of the enlarged share capital.
