What is this case about?
Plaintiff alleges that the Offering Materials misrepresented and omitted material facts regarding Maxar’s business, including that: (1) there were significant indicators of impairment of Maxar’s assets, particularly in its Communications, SSL, and geostationary satellite communications (“GeoComm”) businesses; (2) Maxar had not adequately tested for impairment; (3) GeoComm was severely impaired as of the date of the Offering Materials; (4) Maxar was not complying with IFRS accounting standards, including related to impairment testing; and (5) risks that Maxar characterized as hypothetical had already materialized at the time of the Merger. Plaintiff alleges that Defendants thus violated §§ 11, 12(a)(2), and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933.

Defendants deny all of Plaintiff’s allegations and deny that there was any violation of the Securities Act.

The Settlement Benefits
The non-reversionary gross settlement amount is $36,500,000, plus accrued interest and minus the costs of administering the notice to the class, attorney fees and expenses and payment to Plaintiff as class representative.
