Item 8.01.    Other Events
 
On November 28, 2011, counsel for ICO Global Communications (Operations) Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pendrell Corporation (the "Company"), received a letter dated November 23, 2011 from the Second Appellate District of the California Court of Appeal (the "Court"), notifying counsel that Associate Justice Elizabeth Grimes recently determined that she is required to recuse herself from the case of Boeing Satellite v. ICO Global (the "Appeal"). Justice Grimes had been one of the three justices who presided over the Appeal and participated in the oral argument that took place on October 27, 2011. No reason was given for Justice Grimes' recusal decision. Submission of the case was ordered vacated, effective November 23, 2011, and Presiding Justice Tricia Bigelow has been identified as a replacement for Justice Grimes on the panel of justices that are considering the Appeal.

As a result of the Court's order, a decision on the Appeal may be delayed, and is no longer required to be issued by January 25, 2012, as previously anticipated. Instead, the Court's decision will be due within 90 days after the case is resubmitted for decision, which we believe is likely to happen following either additional oral argument or upon completion of Justice Bigelow's review of the recording of the prior oral argument. The Company cannot predict the timing for re-submission of the case or the conclusion of the Appeal process.
