(e) Approval of Maxar Technologies Inc. 2019 Incentive Plan

On May 8, 2019, at the 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (“Annual Meeting”) of Maxar Technologies Inc. (“Company”), the Company’s stockholders approved the Maxar Technologies Inc. 2019 Incentive Award Plan (“2019 Plan”). The Plan had previously been approved, subject to stockholder approval, by the Company’s Board of Directors. The 2019 Plan is intended to replace the Maxar Technologies Ltd. Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (“Omnibus Plan”). The 2019 Plan supersedes and replaces in its entirety the Omnibus Plan, and no further awards will be granted under the Omnibus Plan; however, the terms and conditions of the Omnibus Plan will continue to govern any outstanding awards granted thereunder.

Employees and consultants of the Company, its subsidiaries and affiliates, as well as members of our Board, are eligible to receive awards under the 2019 Plan. The 2019 Plan provides for the grant of stock options, including incentive stock options (“ISOs”) and nonqualified stock options (“NQSOs”), stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), deferred stock, deferred stock units (“DSUs”), cash-based awards and dividend equivalents to eligible individuals.

The number of shares of our common stock available for issuance under the 2019 Plan is equal to the sum of (i) 2,525,000 shares, and (ii) any shares subject to issued and outstanding awards under the Omnibus Plan, the Maxar Technologies Ltd. Employee Stock Option Plan or the MacDonald, Dettwiler and Associates Ltd. Long Term Incentive Plans for the years 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017 (collectively, the “Prior Plans”) that expire, are cancelled or otherwise terminate following the effective date of the 2019 Plan. Approval of the 2019 Plan will constitute approval pursuant to the stockholder approval requirements of Section 422 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), relating to ISOs.

The 2019 Plan reflects a broad range of compensation and governance best practices, including the following:

Automatic acceleration of awards only if not assumed or substituted. The 2019 Plan provides that awards will automatically accelerate upon a change in control only if not assumed or substituted, and further that any such performance-based awards will vest based on the higher of (a) actual performance as of the change in control or (b) target performance, prorated based on a shortened performance period as of the change in control.

Prohibition of liberal share recycling on all awards. The 2019 Plan prohibits any shares withheld for taxes on all awards from being added back to the share reserve, in addition to prohibiting other practices considered to be liberal share recycling with respect to options and SARs.

Minimum vesting requirements. Subject to limited exceptions, no awards (or portions thereof) granted under the 2019 Plan may vest until the first anniversary of the date of grant.

Payment of dividends only if underlying awards vest. Under the 2019 Plan, dividends and dividend equivalents may only be paid to the extent the underlying award vests.

No repricing of awards without stockholder approval. Under the 2019 Plan, awards may not be repriced, replaced or regranted through cancellation or modification without stockholder approval if the effect would be to reduce the exercise price for the shares under the award.

No evergreen feature/stockholder approval required for share reserve increases. The 2019 Plan does not provide for an annual increase in the share reserve, and the 2019 Plan may not be amended to increase the share reserve without stockholder approval.

A summary of the Plan is set forth in the Company’s definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 28, 2019.
