(&#8220;Maxar&#8221; or &#8220;Company&#8221;) began phasing in the next stage of its COVID-19 response plan, escalating efforts to protect the health and safety of its team members, families, customers and communities. This is a proactive measure, as the Company has no confirmed cases of the illness among our workforce. Today all Maxar locations remain operational through a combination of work from home (WFH) and limited personnel working onsite for essential operations.</p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;"><span style="visibility:hidden;">&#8203;</span></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;">On March 16, 2020 the California counties of Santa Clara, San Francisco, Marin, San Mateo, Alameda and Contra Costa ordered their residents to stay home and avoid all unnecessary travel to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus. Maxar has manufacturing operations within its Space Infrastructure business in Palo Alto and San Jose, CA, both of which reside inside Santa Clara county. After preliminarily closing the facilities, the Company assessed the county&#8217;s order and determined it is exempt from the facility closure requirements of the order given the nature of the work performed at these facilities. As such, essential personnel began returning to work on March 19, 2020 with others remaining on WFH status.</p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;"><span style="visibility:hidden;">&#8203;</span></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;">The order by Santa Clara County represents a force majeure event and the Company has sent force majeure notices as appropriate to certain customers to protect its legal rights given the uncertain nature of the current pandemic and its near and long-term impacts on the cost and schedule of the numerous programs in the Company&#8217;s existing backlog. The Company is observing stress in its supplier base in and outside the United States and continues to monitor and assess the actual and potential COVID-19 or related force majeure impacts on the supply chain and the Company&#8217;s operations and customer commitments. </p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;"><span style="visibility:hidden;">&#8203;</span></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;">We have transitioned to a WFH posture across Maxar for all team members whose roles can be performed remotely, recognizing the increased impacts on families from school and community closures. Mission-critical roles that must be conducted from a Maxar location are an exception to the WFH protocol. This approach protects our ongoing business operations and supports our efforts to continue to meet critical customer commitments. </p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;"><span style="visibility:hidden;">&#8203;</span></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;">By reducing the overall workforce present at each site, we reduce the exposure risk for all team members and enhance protection of those team members who need to continue to work in a Maxar site. Our policies are part of a greater collective effort across communities and regions to flatten the curve on COVID-19 case volumes to avoid overwhelming the capacity of the healthcare system.</p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;"><span style="visibility:hidden;">&#8203;</span></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;"><span style="white-space:pre-wrap;">The Company is currently assessing impacts of COVID-19, including the Santa Clara order, on employees, customers, suppliers, and the productivity of the work being done &#8211; all of which to some extent will affect future revenue, earnings, and cash flow.  </span></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;text-indent:36pt;margin:0pt;"><span style="visibility:hidden;">&#8203;</span></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;min-height:10.0pt;margin:0pt;"><b style="font-weight:bold;">Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements</b></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;min-height:10.0pt;margin:0pt;">&#160;</p><a id="T1"></a><a id="T2"></a><a id="T3"></a><a id="T4"></a><a id="T5"></a><a id="T6"></a><a id="T7"></a><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;min-height:10.0pt;margin:0pt;">Certain statements and other information included in this Current Report constitute &#8220;forward-looking information&#8221; or &#8220;forward-looking statements&#8221; (collectively, &#8220;forward-looking statements&#8221;) under applicable securities laws.

Item 8.01
Other Events.
​
On Sunday, March 15, Maxar Technologies Inc. ("Maxar" or "Company") began phasing in the next stage of its COVID-19 response plan, escalating efforts to protect the health and safety of its team members, families, customers and communities. This is a proactive measure, as the Company has no confirmed cases of the illness among our workforce. Today all Maxar locations remain operational through a combination of work from home (WFH) and limited personnel working onsite for essential operations.
​
On March 16, 2020 the California counties of Santa Clara, San Francisco, Marin, San Mateo, Alameda and Contra Costa ordered their residents to stay home and avoid all unnecessary travel to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus. Maxar has manufacturing operations within its Space Infrastructure business in Palo Alto and San Jose, CA, both of which reside inside Santa Clara county. After preliminarily closing the facilities, the Company assessed the county's order and determined it is exempt from the facility closure requirements of the order given the nature of the work performed at these facilities. As such, essential personnel began returning to work on March 19, 2020 with others remaining on WFH status.
​
The order by Santa Clara County represents a force majeure event and the Company has sent force majeure notices as appropriate to certain customers to protect its legal rights given the uncertain nature of the current pandemic and its near and long-term impacts on the cost and schedule of the numerous programs in the Company's existing backlog. The Company is observing stress in its supplier base in and outside the United States and continues to monitor and assess the actual and potential COVID-19 or related force majeure impacts on the supply chain and the Company's operations and customer commitments.
​
We have transitioned to a WFH posture across Maxar for all team members whose roles can be performed remotely, recognizing the increased impacts on families from school and community closures. Mission-critical roles that must be conducted from a Maxar location are an exception to the WFH protocol. This approach protects our ongoing business operations and supports our efforts to continue to meet critical customer commitments.
​
By reducing the overall workforce present at each site, we reduce the exposure risk for all team members and enhance protection of those team members who need to continue to work in a Maxar site. Our policies are part of a greater collective effort across communities and regions to flatten the curve on COVID-19 case volumes to avoid overwhelming the capacity of the healthcare system.
​
The Company is currently assessing impacts of COVID-19, including the Santa Clara order, on employees, customers, suppliers, and the productivity of the work being done – all of which to some extent will affect future revenue, earnings, and cash flow.
