Explanatory Note
This Current Report on Form 8-K/A amends the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Maxar Technologies Inc. (“Company”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on May 13, 2021.
Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On May 17, 2021, the Company filed a Certificate of Correction with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to nullify the filing of a Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State on May 12, 2021, that had not received the requisite stockholder approval.
The Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as in effect prior to the Company’s 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on May 12, 2021 (“Annual Meeting”), is accurate and remains in effect without change.
The description of the Certificate of Correction is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Certificate of Correction, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated into this Item 5.03 by reference.
Also, on May 17, 2021, the Company filed a Certificate of Elimination (“Certificate of Elimination”) of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred”) with the Delaware Secretary of State, thereby removing the Certificate of Designations of the Series A Preferred from the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. There are no shares of the Series A Preferred outstanding and no shares thereof will be issued subject to said Certificate of Designations. The Certificate of Elimination became effective on May 17, 2021 upon filing with the Delaware Secretary of State.
The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Certificate of Elimination, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.2 and incorporated into this Item 5.03 by reference.
Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
At the Annual Meeting, the Company’s stockholders voted on a proposal (“Certificate of Incorporation Proposal”) to amend and restate the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. The Certificate of Incorporation Proposal did not receive the votes necessary for approval. The purpose of the Certificate of Incorporation Proposal was to include a federal forum selection provision in the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. Although the Certificate of Incorporation Proposal did not receive the votes necessary for approval, the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Bylaws contain a federal forum selection provision, which remains in effect.
The Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on May 13, 2021, correctly reported the vote on the Certificate of Incorporation Proposal, which was 23,842,388 votes FOR, 7,212,393 votes AGAINST, 47,959 votes ABSTAIN, and 9,016,261 Broker Non-Votes. Although the Certificate of Incorporation Proposal received a favorable vote of 76.7% of the votes cast, the Certificate of Incorporation Proposal did not receive the vote of a majority of the outstanding common stock entitled to vote on the Certificate of Incorporation Proposal as required by the Delaware General Corporation Law.
