Item 5.07    Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

On October 31, 2019, Maxar Technologies Inc. (“Company”) held a Special Meeting of Stockholders (“Special Meeting”) to approve the Company’s Tax Benefit Preservation Plan, adopted on May 13, 2019 (“NOL Plan”). The Company previously filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on September 27, 2019, a definitive proxy statement and related materials pertaining to the Special Meeting, which describes in detail the proposal submitted to stockholders at the Special Meeting. As of the close of business on September 10, 2019, the record date for the Special Meeting, the Company had a total of 59,610,665 shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting, of which 30,301,603 shares were represented at the Special Meeting in person or by proxy. The final results for the votes regarding the proposal is set forth below.

Proposal One:  To approve the Company’s NOL Plan. The approval of this proposal required the affirmative vote of both: (i) a majority of shares present in person or represented by proxy and that are entitled to vote on this proposal, and (ii) a majority of shares present in person or represented by proxy and that are entitled to vote on this proposal, excluding all shares held by Existing Holders and Exempt Persons, as defined in the NOL Plan. The second approval of stockholders, excluding Existing Holders and Exempt Persons, is required under the rules of the Toronto Stock Exchange. The votes regarding this proposal were as follows:

Shares Voted For

Shares Voted Against

Shares Abstained

Broker Non-Votes

28,884,091

1,200,938

216,574

0

A total of 30,301,603 shares of the Company’s common stock were present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote, of which 18,380,248 shares were held by Existing Holders or Exempt Persons. Approval of the proposal required the affirmative vote of both (i) the holders of a majority of the total votes of shares of the Company’s common stock present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote and (ii) the holders of a majority of the total votes of shares of the Company’s common stock present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote and not owned by Existing Holders or Exempt Persons. Accordingly, broker non-votes had no effect on the outcome of the vote and abstentions had the same effect as votes against such proposal. The proposal was approved by (i) approximately 95% of the total votes of shares of the Company’s common stock present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote and (ii) approximately 88% of the total votes of shares of the Company’s common stock present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote and not owned by Existing Holders or Exempt Persons.
