             APPLICATION FOR PRO FORMA TRANSFER OF CONTROL

This application seeks Federal Communications Commission (“FCC” or “Commission”) consent
to the pro forma transfer of control of DG Consents Sub, Inc. (“DG Licensee”). DG Licensee is
a wholly-owned subsidiary of DigitalGlobe, Inc. (“DigitalGlobe”), which is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Maxar Technologies Holdings Inc. (“Maxar Holdings”), which is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Maxar Technologies Ltd. (“Maxar”). As part of the planned domestication of
Maxar from Canada to the United States (the “U.S. Domestication”), the ultimate parent of DG
Licensee, DigitalGlobe and Maxar Holdings will be an entity incorporated under the laws of
the State of Delaware named Maxar Technologies Inc. (“Maxar U.S.”).

Per FCC Rule 25.119(i)(2), DG Licensee hereby certifies that the proposed transfer of control is
pro forma and that, together with all previous pro forma transactions, it would not result in a
change in the actual controlling party. Further, per FCC Rule 25.119(i)(1), DG Licensee submits
that the instant application does not require waiver of, or a declaratory ruling pertaining to, any
applicable Commission rule. Therefore, as DG Licensee is not a telecommunications carrier, the
instant application should be deemed granted one business day after filing. See 47 C.F.R. §
25.119(i).

I.     FCC Licenses

DG Licensee holds the following FCC licenses:

                   Call Sign                Type               Expiration Date
                    S2129                Space station            10/8/2024
                    S2348                Space station             9/5/2023
                   E040264               Earth station           11/23/2019
                   E120040               Earth station             6/5/2027
                   E950499               Earth station            1/26/2021
                   E980375               Earth station            4/15/2024

II.    Description of the Proposed Pro Forma Transfer of Control

DG Licensee seeks FCC consent for a pro forma transfer of control of DG Licensee as part of a
planned corporate reorganization. Subject to obtaining required court approvals, as well as the
satisfaction of other conditions precedent, Maxar anticipates that the U.S. Domestication will be
completed on or about January 1, 2019. As described above, DG Licensee is an indirect wholly-
owned subsidiary of Maxar, a Canadian entity. Maxar will be reorganized such that the ultimate
parent of DG Licensee will be Maxar U.S.

The U.S. Domestication is pro forma because it will not affect ultimate ownership or control of
DG Licensee; it is merely a change in corporate form and jurisdiction of organization of the
ultimate parent. The Commission has approved previously the ultimate ownership and control of




                                                   -1-


DG Licensee by its current shareholders,1 and there have been no material changes since then.
After the proposed pro forma transaction is consummated, the previously approved current
shareholders will continue their indirect ownership and control of DG Licensee.

Maxar Holdings previously identified its plans for the U.S. Domestication in prior FCC
applications. Specifically, Maxar Holdings stated that “[t]he combined company also will
continue to execute its ‘U.S. Access Plan’ strategy, which will include further reorganization of
all or part of the combined Company’s corporate and operating structure to ensure that the
ultimate parent of DigitalGlobe is incorporated in the U.S[.]”2

To the extent that any pending applications, or any other applications for new facilities or for
renewal or modification of existing facilities, are granted to DG Licensee prior to the closing of
the proposed transaction, DG Licensee requests that the grant of this application include consent
with respect to all such subsequently granted authorizations. Further, DG Licensee requests that
grant of this application include authority for the pro forma transfer of control of any special
temporary authorizations held by DG Licensee, or applications for special temporary authority
that are pending, at the time of the consummation of the proposed pro forma transfer of control.

III.    Public Interest Statement – Response to Question A.21

Commission approval of the pro forma transfer of control will serve the public interest. Maxar is
a leading global provider of advanced space technology solutions, delivering unmatched end-to-
end capabilities in satellites, robotics, Earth imagery, geospatial data, analytics and insights. The
U.S. Domestication will serve the public interest by further integrating Maxar and DG Licensee
within the jurisdiction of the United States. Additionally, U.S. Domestication fulfills a
commitment made as part of the acquisition of DigitalGlobe in 2017 and enhances
DigitalGlobe’s ability to serve the U.S. space and defense markets and support classified
applications for U.S. Government agencies.

Consistent with these public benefits, DG Licensee respectfully requests FCC consent for this
pro forma transfer of control.
