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. IV. Officers, Directors and Ten Percent Shareholders – Response to Questions 40 Upon consummation of the U.S. Domestication, the ownership of DG Licensee will be: 1 See DG Consents Sub, Inc., Transfer of Control Application, SAT-T/C-20170320-00054 (Call Signs S2129, S2348) (granted April 26, 2017); see also DG Consents Sub, Inc., Transfer of Control Application, SES- T/C-20170320-00344 (Call Signs E040264, E120040, E950499, E980375) (granted May 16, 2017). 2 See, e.g., DG Consents Sub, Inc., Transfer of Control Application, SAT-T/C-20170320-00054 (Call Signs S2129, S2348), Exhibit B (granted April 26, 2017). -2-
