Overview
On November 23, 2020, Loral entered into a Transaction Agreement and Plan of
Merger (as it may be amended from time to time, the "Transaction Agreement")
with Telesat Canada, a Canadian corporation ("Telesat"), Telesat Partnership LP,
a limited partnership formed under the laws of Ontario, Canada ("Telesat
Partnership"), Telesat Corporation, a newly formed corporation incorporated
under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada and the sole general
partner of Telesat Partnership ("Telesat Corporation"), Telesat CanHold
Corporation, a corporation incorporated under the laws of British Columbia,
Canada and wholly owned subsidiary of Telesat Partnership ("Telesat CanHoldco"),
Lion Combination Sub Corporation, a Delaware corporation and wholly owned

Table of Contents
The Transaction Agreement contains a number of customary conditions that must be
fulfilled to complete the Transaction, including (i) approval of (A) a majority
of the outstanding Loral voting common stock and (B) a majority of the
outstanding Loral voting common stock not held by MHR Fund Management LLC
("MHR"), PSP, any other party to the Transaction Agreement or certain of their
respective affiliates; (ii) the parties having obtained certain regulatory
consents and approvals; (iii) no legal proceedings having been commenced that
would enjoin or prohibit the consummation of the Transaction; (iv) the listing
of the Class A and Class B shares of Telesat Corporation on a U.S. securities
exchange; (v) no "Material Adverse Effect" (as defined in the Transaction
Agreement) having occurred; (vi) Telesat remaining in good standing with respect
to its material debt obligations; (vii) the accuracy of certain representations
(subject to certain qualifications as to materiality) and material performance
of certain covenants by the parties, subject to specified exceptions;
(viii) effectiveness of a registration statement on Form F-4 in connection with
the Transaction (the "Registration Statement") and the issuance of a receipt for
each of the Canadian preliminary and final prospectuses in respect of the
Transaction; (ix) no U.S., Canadian or Spanish governmental agency having
commenced civil or criminal proceeding against Loral alleging that any member of
the "Loral Group" has criminally violated any law, and no member of the "Loral
Group" having been indicted or convicted for, or pled nolo contendere to, any
such alleged criminal violation; (x) Loral remaining solvent and not having
entered into any bankruptcy or related proceeding; and (xi) the delivery by the
parties of certain closing deliverables. If the parties have confirmed that all
the conditions are satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by
their terms are to be satisfied at the closing of the Transaction (the
"Closing"), but which conditions are capable of being satisfied at the Closing),
then PSP and Loral will each have the right to extend the Closing for any number
of periods of up to 30 days each and no longer than 120 days in the aggregate,
from the date on which the Closing otherwise would have occurred. If the Closing
is extended, the Closing will occur on the first two consecutive business days
commencing on the fifth business day after the expiration of the final extension
period on which the conditions are satisfied or waived (other than the
conditions (i) with respect to no "Material Adverse Effect" (as defined in the
Transaction Agreement) having occurred, (ii) that by their terms are to be
satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such
conditions at the Closing and (iii) if PSP extends the Closing, with respect to
a civil or criminal legal proceeding alleging that Loral or any of its
subsidiaries (excluding XTAR, LLC ("XTAR") and Globalstar de Mexico, S. de R.L.
de C.V. ("GdM") and their subsidiaries), has criminally violated a law). Subject
to the satisfaction of the conditions to Closing and any extensions described
above, we expect to complete the Transaction in the late third quarter or early
fourth quarter of 2021.
On June 30, 2021, the Registration Statement was declared effective by the
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), and a Special Meeting of
Stockholders to consider the approval of the Transaction and the Transaction
Agreement and related proposals (the "Special Meeting") was scheduled for August
9, 2021. Prior to the convening of the Special Meeting, however, Loral was
informed by Telesat of recent developments regarding the possibility of a
potential investment by the government of Canada (the "GoC") in the development
of Telesat Lightspeed, Telesat's global constellation of low earth orbit ("LEO")
satellites (the "Potential GoC Investment Transaction"). See "Description of
Business - Telesat Lightspeed" below. The Potential GoC Investment Transaction,
if consummated, would occur following the pending Transaction. In light of the
Potential GoC Investment Transaction, the Special Meeting was convened as
scheduled but was immediately adjourned without conducting any other business in
order to provide stockholders with an opportunity to receive and consider
additional information that is anticipated to be disclosed with respect to the
Potential GoC Investment Transaction before voting on the Transaction. The
Special Meeting will be reconvened and held virtually on Monday, August 23,
2021, at 10:00 a.m. eastern time. The record date of the Special Meeting, June
10, 2021, remains unchanged.
On August 6, 2021, Loral was notified that the applications filed with the
Federal Communications Commission (the "FCC") for the transfer of control of
Telesat's and XTAR's FCC licenses in connection with the Transaction had been
approved. The FCC's approval is conditioned on Telesat's and certain of its
subsidiaries' compliance with a Letter of Agreement entered into with the
Department of Justice (the "DOJ") to address certain national security and law
enforcement risks identified by the DOJ and certain Executive Branch agencies.
Certain other regulatory consents and approvals required to consummate the
Transaction are still pending.

Table of Contents
Upon satisfaction of the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the
Transaction Agreement, the Transaction will result in the current stockholders
of Loral, PSP and the other shareholders in Telesat (principally current or
former management of Telesat) owning approximately the same percentage of equity
in Telesat indirectly through Telesat Corporation and/or Telesat Partnership as
they currently hold (indirectly in the case of Loral stockholders and PSP) in
Telesat, Telesat Corporation becoming the publicly traded general partner of
Telesat Partnership and Telesat Partnership indirectly owning all of the
economic interests in Telesat, except to the extent that the other shareholders
in Telesat elect to retain their direct interest in Telesat.
The Transaction Agreement provides certain termination rights for both Loral and
PSP and further provides that, in certain circumstances, Loral may be required
to pay to Red Isle a termination fee of $6.55 million or $22.91million or to pay
to PSP a "breach" fee of $40 million, in each case as provided in the
Transaction Agreement.
Description of Business
Loral has one operating segment consisting of satellite-based communications
services. Loral participates in satellite services operations primarily through
its ownership interest in Telesat, a leading global satellite operator. Telesat
provides its satellite and communication services from a fleet of geostationary
satellites that occupy Canadian and other orbital locations. Telesat is also
developing a planned global constellation of LEO satellites known as "Telesat
Lightspeed." Loral holds a 62.6% economic interest and a 32.6% voting interest
in Telesat as of June 30, 2021.
Telesat's GEO Satellite Business
The satellite services business is capital intensive and the build-out of a
satellite fleet requires substantial time and investment. Once the investment in
a satellite is made, the incremental costs to maintain and operate the satellite
are relatively low over the life of the satellite, with the exception of
in-orbit insurance. Telesat has been able to generate a large contractual
revenue backlog by entering into long-term contracts with some of its customers,
in some cases for all or substantially all of a satellite's orbital maneuver
life. Historically, this has resulted in revenue from the satellite services
business being fairly predictable.
As of June 30, 2021, Telesat provided satellite services to customers from its
fleet of 15 geostationary satellites, as well as the Canadian payload on the
ViaSat-1 satellite. Telesat also manages the operations of additional satellites
for third parties. As of June 30, 2021, Telesat's contracted backlog from its
geostationary satellite business was approximately $1.9 billion.
Telesat Lightspeed
Telesat has commenced the development of what it believes will be the world's
most advanced constellation of LEO satellites and integrated terrestrial
infrastructure, called "Telesat Lightspeed" - a platform designed to
revolutionize the provision of global broadband connectivity. In January 2018,
Telesat's first LEO satellite was successfully launched into orbit. This Phase 1
LEO satellite has demonstrated certain key features of the Telesat Lightspeed
system design, specifically the capability of the satellite and customer
terminals to deliver a low latency broadband experience. Telesat also installed
ground infrastructure at its teleport in Allan Park in Canada to support testing
with a variety of existing and prospective customers and potential suppliers of
the Telesat Lightspeed system hardware who have been participating in trials
since the second half of 2018.
Telesat continues to advance its Telesat Lightspeed plans:
On August 9, 2021, Telesat and the Government of Ontario announced that they
have partnered to bridge the digital divide in Ontario by leveraging Telesat's
advanced, state-of-the-art LEO satellite network, Telesat Lightspeed. Under this
$109 million, five-year partnership, a dedicated Telesat Lightspeed capacity
pool will be made available at substantially reduced rates to Canadian Internet
service providers ("ISPs"), including Indigenous owned and operated ISPs, as
well as mobile network operators to expand high-speed Internet and LTE/5G
networks to Ontario's unserved and underserved communities. The transaction is
subject to the entering into of a further, definitive agreement which Telesat
expects to execute in the coming weeks.
29
Table of Contents
On August 12 2021, Telesat announced that it had entered into a non-binding term
sheet (the "Term Sheet") with the GoC regarding a $1.44 billion investment by
the GoC or one of its Crown corporations ("Canada") to support Telesat
Lightspeed. In return, Telesat will commit to make certain minimum capital and
operating expenditures in Canada in connection with the program and, in
addition, to create hundreds of Canadian high-quality, full-time jobs and co-ops
and provide academic scholarships.
The Term Sheet contemplates the following: (i) a CAD 790 million unsecured term
loan from Canada to Telesat Leo Inc. ("Telesat LEO"), a wholly owned subsidiary
of Telesat organized under the laws of Canada that will develop Telesat
Lightspeed (the "Loan"); (ii) the purchase of preferred shares of Telesat Leo by
Canada, for an aggregate value of up to CAD 650 million (the "Canada Preferred
Shares"); and (iii) warrants issued to Canada to purchase Telesat Corporation
Class A common shares ("Telesat Parent Shares") with an aggregate exercise price
of CAD 144 million (the "Warrants" and, together with the Canada Preferred
Shares, the "Equity Investments," and the Equity Investments together with the
Loan, the "Investments").
Under the Loan, Telesat LEO would be the borrower of a CAD 790 million unsecured
term loan with an interest rate of 2% per annum, payable semi-annually in
arrears or capitalized at the option of Telesat LEO. The proceeds from the Loan
must be used exclusively for working capital and operational purposes in
connection with the design, construction, delivery, launch, operation and
maintenance of Telesat LEO's low earth orbit satellite constellation of an
initial 298 satellites and associated infrastructure. The Loan will require
certain affirmative covenants of Telesat and Telesat LEO (collectively, the
"Benefit to Canada Clauses"), which include minimum Canadian based operating
expenditures, capital expenditures and Canadian control requirements, among
others. The Loan would have a 20-year term, would not be subject to voluntary
prepayment, but would be subject to reduction in principal amount if certain
milestones set forth in the Term Sheet are met. Telesat will not be an obligor
under the Loan.
The Canada Preferred Shares would be preferred shares of Telesat LEO with a per
share subscription price of CAD 100 and would have a subscription amount of up
to CAD 650 million (the "Subscription Amount"). The Canada Preferred Shares
include a cumulative and compounding preferred dividend initially at 1% per
annum and increasing to 5.5% per annum. The Canada Preferred Shares carry no
voting rights except as provided by law and except for certain veto rights set
out in Schedule B to the Term Sheet.
The Warrants would permit Canada to purchase a number of Telesat Parent Shares
with an aggregate exercise price equal to the aggregate of (i) 10% of the
principal amount of the Loan and (ii) 10% of the Subscription Amount of the
Canada Preferred Shares. The exercise price of the Warrants would be the 180-day
volume weighted average trading price of the Telesat Parent Shares on Nasdaq
immediately after the listing of the Telesat Parent Shares, would be exercisable
any time after the second anniversary of the listing of the Telesat Parent
Shares and would have a term of 10 years.
The Investments all have certain conditions to closing, which include the
execution of definitive documentation for the Investments in form and substance
acceptable to Canada and the closing of the Transaction.
The Term Sheet is a non-binding agreement, and there can be no assurance that
definitive documentation regarding the terms of the Investments will be
executed. Telesat will seek to negotiate definitive documentation with the GoC,
but there is no guarantee it will be successful in doing so. This summary is
qualified by reference to the complete text of the Term Sheet, a copy of which
is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.2.
With the investment from the GoC and other financing sources already in place,
Telesat now has arrangements for approximately CAD 4 billion in funding for the
program. These arrangements, including the GoC Investments, are subject to a
number of conditions, including the entering into of further, definitive
agreements.
Government Grant
In May 2019, Telesat entered into an agreement with the government of Canada
pursuant to which the government of Canada will contribute up to CAD 85 million
through July 31, 2023 to support the development of the Telesat Lightspeed
constellation. In return for the grant, Telesat made a number of commitments to
the government of Canada, including commitments to conduct over CAD 200 million
of research and development activities in Canada as well as to expand Telesat's
Canadian workforce. As of June 30, 2021, Telesat claimed CAD 22.1 million
against the government grant and incurred CAD 239 million in connection with
this program.

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, Telesat claimed CAD 5.1 million
against the government grant and incurred CAD 104.7 million in connection with
this program.
Canadian C-band
On August 27, 2020, Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada ("ISED")
launched a public consultation (the "Consultation") on repurposing of C-band
spectrum in Canada and on May 21, 2021 released its "Decision on the Technical
and Policy Framework for the 3650¬4200 MHz Band and Changes to the Frequency
Allocation of the 3500-3650 MHz Band." In the decision, ISED largely adopted the
proposal it had set forth in the Consultation which will require satellite
operators to cease use of 300 MHz of C-band spectrum (3700-4000 MHz), other than
in satellite-dependent areas, by March 31, 2025; ISED plans to auction the
spectrum to companies that want to use it to provide terrestrial wireless
services, principally 5G, in Canada. ISED did not provide for payments to
satellite operators for either clearing expense reimbursement or as an incentive
to clear the spectrum. In the decision, ISED rejected a proposal put forward by
Telesat Canada, whereby Telesat Canada - the sole C-band licensee in Canada -
would accelerate, and be responsible for, the clearing of a portion of the
C-band spectrum for 5G and would auction a portion of that spectrum to Canadian
wireless operators for 5G services, using the auction proceeds to fund the cost
of clearing and to help fund the construction of Telesat Lightspeed.
Telesat Outlook
Telesat's desirable spectrum rights, commitment to providing the highest level
of customer service, deep technical expertise and culture of innovation have
enabled it to successfully develop its business to date. Leveraging these
strengths and building on its existing contractual revenue backlog, Telesat's
focus is on profitably growing its business by increasing the utilization of its
in-orbit satellites and, in a disciplined manner, deploying expansion satellite
capacity where strong market demand is anticipated.
After decades of developing and successfully operating its geosynchronous
orbit-based satellite services business, Telesat is now poised to revolutionize
the provision of global broadband connectivity by developing Telesat Lightspeed,
which Telesat believes will be the world's most advanced constellation of LEO
satellites and integrated terrestrial infrastructure.
Telesat believes that it is well positioned to serve its customers and the
markets in which it participates. Telesat actively pursues opportunities to
develop new satellites, particularly in conjunction with current or prospective
customers who will commit to long-term service agreements prior to the time the
satellite construction contract is signed. However, while Telesat regularly
pursues these opportunities, it does not procure additional or replacement
satellites until it believes there is a demonstrated need and a sound business
plan for such satellite capacity.
In 2021, Telesat remains focused on increasing utilization of its existing
satellites, the development of the Telesat Lightspeed constellation and
identifying and pursuing opportunities to invest in other expansion of satellite
capacity, all while maintaining operating discipline.
Telesat's operating results are subject to fluctuations as a result of exchange
rate variations. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, approximately 52.5% of
Telesat's revenues, 33.3% of its operating expenses, 100% of its interest
expense and a significant portion of its capital expenditures were denominated
in U.S. dollars. The most significant impact of variations in the exchange rate
is on the U.S. dollar denominated indebtedness and cash and short-term
investments. As of June 30, 2021, Telesat's U.S. dollar denominated debt totaled
$3.0 billion. As of June 30, 2021, a five percent increase (decrease) in the
Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar on financial assets and liabilities
would have increased (decreased) Telesat's net income by approximately $119.8
million. This analysis assumes all other variables, in particular interest
rates, remain constant.

In connection with the acquisition of our ownership interest in Telesat in 2007,
Loral has agreed that, subject to certain exceptions described in the
Shareholders Agreement, for so long as Loral has an interest in Telesat, it will
not compete in the business of leasing, selling or otherwise furnishing fixed
satellite service, broadcast satellite service or audio and video broadcast
direct to home service using transponder capacity in the C-band, Ku-band and
Ka-band (including in each case extended band) frequencies and the business of
providing end-to-end data solutions on networks comprised of earth terminals,
space segment, and, where appropriate, networking hubs.
Other
We own 56% of the ordinary membership interests of XTAR, a joint venture between
us and Hisdesat Servicios Estrategicos, S.A. ("Hisdesat") of Spain. Hisdesat
owns the remaining 44% of the ordinary membership interests and all of XTAR's
Class A membership interests, which have liquidation priority over the ordinary
membership interests. Prior to July 1, 2020, XTAR owned and operated an X-band
satellite, XTAR-EUR (the "Satellite") located at the 29° E.L. orbital slot (the
"Orbital Slot"). In addition, prior to July 1, 2020, XTAR leased from Hisdesat
7.2 72MHz X-band transponders on the Spainsat satellite located at 30° W.L. (the
"Transponder Lease"). For services provided by Loral, XTAR, until December 31,
2013, was charged a quarterly management fee under a management agreement with
Loral (the "Loral Management Agreement").
On July 1, 2020, Loral, XTAR and Hisdesat restructured their relationship,
including, among other things, the following: (i) Hisdesat purchased the
Satellite and certain assets related to operation of the Satellite (the
"Purchased Assets") from XTAR; (ii) XTAR's agreement with Hisdesat to operate
the Satellite at the Orbital Slot was terminated and the rights and licenses to
operate the Satellite at the Orbital Slot reverted to Hisdesat; (iii) the
Transponder Lease was terminated; (iv) XTAR and Hisdesat entered into an
agreement under which XTAR will continue to market and sell capacity on the
Satellite and on the Spainsat satellite; (v) XTAR and Loral terminated the Loral
Management Agreement; and (vi) Loral granted to Hisdesat an option to acquire
for nominal consideration, subject to receipt of all required regulatory
approvals, Loral's membership interests in XTAR. As of the date of this report,
Hisdesat has not exercised this option. On July 2, 2020, Loral received from
XTAR $5.9 million from the proceeds of the sale of the Purchased Assets in full
and final settlement of the past due receivable outstanding of $6.6 million
under the Loral Management Agreement.
COVID-19
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization designated the COVID-19
coronavirus as a global pandemic. Various policies and initiatives have been
implemented worldwide to reduce the global transmission of COVID-19, including
the promotion of social distancing and the adoption of remote working policies.
Although the COVID-19 pandemic has had a limited impact on Telesat's and our
ability to operate our respective businesses, Telesat's customers in the
maritime and aeronautical markets have been significantly impacted by the
pandemic. At the request of some of these customers, Telesat amended the terms
of certain of their contracts to mitigate the adverse financial impact that
COVID-19 is having on their respective businesses. These arrangements have had
an adverse impact on Telesat's revenues and will continue to adversely impact
Telesat's revenues in the near term. While not sufficient to offset adverse
impacts referred to above, Telesat experienced some increased demand for
services as a result of COVID-19, primarily from rural broadband connectivity
services.
On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act was
signed into law, and on April 24, 2020, the Paycheck Protection Program and
Healthcare Enhancement Act was signed into law (collectively, the "COVID-19
Acts") The COVID-19 Acts provided substantial stimulus and assistance packages
intended to address the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including tax relief
and government loans, grants and investments. The COVID-19 Acts reduced our
income tax provision for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 by
approximately $0.4 million and $3.5 million, respectively. We continue to
monitor any other effects that may result from the COVID-19 Acts.

(In thousands)
Income tax benefit $ 201 $ 1,469
For the three months ended June 30, our income tax benefit is summarized as
follows: (i) for 2021, we recorded a current provision of $0.3 million and a
deferred tax benefit of $0.5 million, resulting in a net tax benefit of
$0.2 million and (ii) for 2020, we recorded a current provision of $0.4 million
and a deferred tax benefit of $1.9 million, resulting in a net tax benefit of
$1.5 million. Our deferred income tax benefit for 2020 included a benefit of
$0.4 million from the COVID-19 Acts.
Our income tax benefit for each period is computed by applying an expected
effective annual tax rate against the pre-tax results for the six-month periods
ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 (after adjusting for certain tax items that are
discrete to each period). This amount is then reduced by the tax benefit
(provision) recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. The
current income tax provision for each period includes our anticipated income tax
liability related to Global Intangible Low Taxed Income ("GILTI") from Telesat
and our provision for uncertain tax positions ("UTPs"). After utilizing our net
operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards and allowable tax credits, federal income
tax on GILTI from Telesat was zero for each period. The deferred income tax
benefit for each period includes the impact of equity in net income (loss) of
affiliates from our condensed consolidated statement of operations and the
periodic effect of our accounting for GILTI. Since our deferred tax assets
related to the investment in Telesat will be realized from the future
recognition of GILTI, the federal portion of these deferred tax assets was
valued at zero as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Table of Contents
To the extent that profitability from operations is not sufficient to realize
the benefit from our remaining net deferred tax assets, we would generate
sufficient taxable income from the appreciated value of our Telesat investment,
subject to the provisions of the Transaction Agreement, in order to prevent
federal net operating losses from expiring and realize the benefit of all
remaining deferred tax assets.

Telesat $ 25,291 $ 76,515
As of June 30, 2021, we held a 62.6% economic interest and a 32.6% voting
interest in Telesat. Loral's equity in net income (loss) of Telesat is based on
our proportionate share of Telesat's results in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") and
in U.S. dollars. The amortization of Telesat fair value adjustments applicable
to the Loral Skynet assets and liabilities acquired by Telesat in 2007 is
proportionately eliminated in determining our share of the net income of
Telesat. Our equity in net income of Telesat also reflects amortization of
profits eliminated, to the extent of our economic interest in Telesat, on
satellites we constructed for Telesat while we owned Space Systems/Loral, LLC
(formerly known as Space Systems/Loral, Inc.) ("SSL") and on Loral's sale to
Telesat in April 2011 of its portion of the payload on the ViaSat-1 satellite
and related assets.

Telesat's revenue increased by $3.9 million for the three months ended June 30,
2021 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020 due primarily to the
impact of the change in the U.S. dollar/Canadian dollar exchange rate on
Canadian dollar denominated revenue, partially offset by a slight reduction in
service for a North American DTH customer as well as non-renewals from certain
other enterprise customers and lower consulting activities. The foreign exchange
rate change increased Telesat's revenue by $8.4 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Table of Contents
Telesat's operating expenses increased by $17.5 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020
primarily due to higher share-based compensation expense, higher wages primarily
associated with the hiring of additional employees to support the Telesat
Lightspeed program and the impact of the change in the U.S. dollar/Canadian
dollar exchange rate on Canadian dollar denominated expenses, partially offset
by higher capitalized engineering costs, lower bad debt expense due to a bad
debt provision recorded in the prior year for maritime and aeronautical
customers and lower consulting activities. The foreign exchange rate change
increased Telesat's operating expenses by $4.2 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020.

lower cash balance resulting primarily from payment of cash dividends of $170.1
million and $46.4 million in May 2020 and December 2020, respectively, and lower
interest rates earned on the cash balance during the six months ended June 30,

Income Tax Benefit (Provision)
Six Months Ended
June 30,
2021 2020
(In thousands)
Income tax benefit (provision) $ 423 $ (647)
For the six months ended June 30, our income tax benefit (provision) is
summarized as follows: (i) for 2021, we recorded a current provision of $0.6
million and a deferred tax benefit of $1.0 million, resulting in a net tax
benefit of $0.4 million and (ii) for 2020, we recorded a current provision of
$0.9 million and a deferred tax benefit of $0.3 million, resulting in a net tax
provision of $0.6 million. Our deferred income tax benefit for 2020 included a
benefit of $3.5 million from the COVID-19 Acts.
Our income tax benefit (provision) for each period is computed by applying an
expected effective annual tax rate against the pre-tax results for the six month
periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 (after adjusting for certain tax items that
are discrete to each period). The current income tax provision for each period
includes our anticipated income tax liability related to GILTI from Telesat and
our provision for UTPs. After utilizing our NOL carryforwards and allowable tax
credits, federal income tax on GILTI from Telesat was zero for each period. The
deferred income tax benefit for each period includes the impact of equity in net
income (loss) of affiliates from our condensed consolidated statement of
operations and the periodic effect of our accounting for GILTI. Since our
deferred tax assets related to the investment in Telesat will be realized from
the future recognition of GILTI, the federal portion of these deferred tax
assets was valued at zero as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
During 2021, the statute of limitations for assessment of additional tax will
expire with regard to certain UTPs, potentially resulting in a $19.5 million
reduction to our income tax provision.
To the extent that profitability from operations is not sufficient to realize
the benefit from our remaining net deferred tax assets, we would generate
sufficient taxable income from the appreciated value of our Telesat investment,
subject to the provisions of the Transaction Agreement, in order to prevent
federal net operating losses from expiring and realize the benefit of all
remaining deferred tax assets

Telesat's revenue decreased by $4.6 million for the six months ended June 30,
2021 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020 due primarily to
decreases in the maritime and commercial aviation markets resulting from the
COVID-19 pandemic as well as non-renewals from certain other enterprise
customers, a slight reduction in service for a North American DTH customer and
lower consulting activities, partially offset by the impact of the change in the
U.S. dollar/Canadian dollar exchange rate on Canadian dollar denominated
revenue. The foreign exchange rate change increased Telesat's revenue by $11.2
million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the six months
ended June 30, 2020.
Telesat's operating expenses increased by $13.7 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2021 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020 primarily due to
higher share-based compensation expense, higher wages primarily associated with
the hiring of additional employees to support the Telesat Lightspeed program and
the impact of the change in the U.S. dollar/Canadian dollar exchange rate on
Canadian dollar denominated expenses, partially offset by higher capitalized
engineering costs, reversal of a bad debt provision relating to the maritime and
aeronautical customers that was recorded during the six months ended June 30,
2020 and lower consulting activities. The foreign exchange rate change increased
Telesat's operating expenses by $4.3 million for the six months ended June 30,
2021 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Backlog
Telesat's backlog as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was $1.9 billion and
$2.1 billion, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Loral
As described above, Loral's principal asset is a 62.6% economic interest in
Telesat. The operations of Telesat are not consolidated but are presented using
the equity method of accounting. Loral has no debt. Telesat has third party debt
with financial institutions. Cash is maintained at Loral and Telesat to support
the operating needs of each respective entity. The ability of Telesat to pay
dividends or certain other restricted payments as well as consulting fees in
cash to Loral is governed by applicable covenants relating to its debt and its
shareholder agreement.
Cash and Available Credit
At June 30, 2021, Loral had $23.2 million of cash and cash equivalents and no
debt. The Company's cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2021 decreased by
$8.4 million from December 31, 2020 due primarily to corporate expenses of $4.2
million adjusted for changes in working capital and net of consulting fees from
Telesat, payments of $3.9 million related to strategic initiatives and pension
and other post-retirement funding of $0.3 million. A discussion of cash changes
by activity is set forth in the sections "Net Cash Used in Operating
Activities."
Loral did not have a credit facility as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
Cash Management
We have a cash management investment program that seeks a competitive return
while maintaining a conservative risk profile. Our cash management investment
policy establishes what we believe to be conservative guidelines relating to the
investment of surplus cash. The policy allows us to invest in commercial paper,
money market funds and other similar short-term investments but does not permit
us to engage in speculative or leveraged transactions, nor does it permit us to
hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes. The cash management
investment policy was designed to preserve capital and safeguard principal, to
meet all of our liquidity requirements and to provide a competitive rate of
return for similar risk categories of investment. The policy addresses dealer
qualifications, lists approved securities, establishes minimum acceptable credit
ratings, sets concentration limits, defines a maturity structure, requires all
firms to safe keep securities on our behalf, requires certain mandatory
reporting activity and discusses review of the portfolio. We operate the cash
management investment program under the guidelines of our investment policy and
continuously monitor the investments to avoid risks.
We currently invest our cash primarily in two liquid government AAA money market
funds. The dispersion across funds reduces the exposure of a default at any one
fund.
Liquidity
We believe that our cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund
projected expenditures for the next 12 months or until the Closing of the
Transaction, if sooner. We expect that our major cash outlays during the next 12
months will include general corporate expenses net of consulting fees from
Telesat and costs associated with completing the Transaction, including employee
severance costs and professional fees. Loral receives consulting fees from
Telesat of $1.25 million per quarter under a consulting agreement which expires
on October 31, 2021.
Under the terms of the Transaction Agreement, Loral is required to make a $7
million payment to Red Isle at Closing. Telesat Corporation is obligated to make
this payment as well as costs associated with completing the Transaction if
Loral does not have sufficient cash at Closing.

Risks to Cash Flow
In 2012, we sold our former subsidiary, SSL, to MDA. Under the terms of the
purchase agreement, we are obligated to indemnify MDA from liabilities with
respect to certain pre-closing taxes the total amount of which has not yet been
determined. Where appropriate, we intend vigorously to contest the underlying
tax assessments, but there can be no assurance that we will be successful.
Although no assurance can be provided, we do not believe that these tax-related
matters will have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results
of operations.
Telesat
Cash and Available Credit
As of June 30, 2021, Telesat had CAD 1.47 billion of cash and short-term
investments as well as approximately $200 million of borrowing availability
under its revolving credit facility.
Liquidity
A large portion of Telesat's annual cash receipts are reasonably predictable
because they are primarily derived from an existing backlog of long-term
customer contracts and high contract renewal rates. Telesat believes its cash
and short-term investments as of June 30, 2021, cash flows from operating
activities, and drawings on the revolving credit facility under its senior
secured credit facilities will be adequate to meet Telesat's expected cash
requirements for at least the next 12 months for activities in the normal course
of business, including required interest and principal payments on debt and
Telesat's capital requirements. This includes the commitments Telesat has made
to date for the Telesat Lightspeed program, but does not include the capital
that would be required to complete construction of the constellation.
The construction of any satellite replacement or expansion program will require
significant capital expenditures, and in particular Telesat currently estimates
that its planned Telesat Lightspeed constellation will require a capital
investment of approximately $5 billion for satellites, launch vehicles,
insurance and related ground systems. Cash required for any future satellite
programs may be funded from a range of sources including: cash and short-term
investments; cash flow from operating activities; cash flow from customer
prepayments; through borrowings on the revolving credit facility under Telesat's
senior secured credit facilities; vendor financing; equity investments,
including through the issuance of public equity; export credit agency financing;
additional secured or unsecured debt financing; proceeds received from
repurposing C-band spectrum, and from government sources. In addition, Telesat
may sell certain satellite assets and, in accordance with the terms and
conditions of Telesat's senior secured credit facilities, reinvest the proceeds
in replacement satellites or pay down indebtedness under Telesat's senior
secured credit facilities. Telesat's ability to access these sources of funding,
however, is not guaranteed, and therefore, Telesat may not be able to fully fund
additional replacement or new satellite programs.

As of June 30, 2021, Telesat was in compliance with the financial covenants of
its senior secured credit facilities, the indenture governing its 4.875% Senior
Secured Notes, the indenture governing its 5.625% Senior Secured Notes and the
indenture governing its senior notes.
Senior Secured Credit Facilities
The obligations under Telesat's credit agreement and the guarantees of those
obligations are secured, subject to certain exceptions, by a first priority
security interest in the assets of Telesat and certain of its subsidiaries (the
"Guarantors"). The credit agreement contains covenants that restrict the ability
of Telesat and the Guarantors to take specified actions, including, among other
things and subject to certain significant exceptions: creating liens, incurring
indebtedness, making investments, engaging in mergers, selling property, paying
dividends, entering into sale-leaseback transactions, creating subsidiaries,
repaying subordinated debt or amending organizational documents. The credit
agreement also requires Telesat and the Guarantors to comply with a maximum
first lien leverage ratio and contains customary events of default and
affirmative covenants, including an excess cash sweep, that may require Telesat
to repay a portion of the outstanding principal under its senior secured credit
facilities prior to the stated maturity.
Telesat's senior secured credit facilities are comprised of the following
facilities:
i - Revolving Credit Facility
Telesat's revolving credit facility ("Revolving Facility") is a $200 million
loan facility available in either U.S. dollar or Canadian dollar equivalent,
maturing in December 2024. Loans under the Revolving Facility bear interest at a
floating interest rate. For Canadian Prime Rate and Alternative Base Rate
("ABR") loans, an applicable margin ranging from 0.75% to 1.25% is applied to
the Prime Rate and ABR as these interest rates are defined in the senior credit
facilities. For Bankers' Acceptance ("BA") Loans and Eurodollar Loans, an
applicable margin ranging from 1.75% to 2.25% is applied to either the BA
interest rate or LIBOR. The rates on the Revolving Facility vary depending upon
the results of the first lien leverage ratio. Telesat's Revolving Facility
currently has an unused commitment fee that ranges from 25 to 37.5 basis points
per annum, depending upon the result of the total leverage ratio. As of June 30,
2021, other than CAD 0.3 million in drawings related to letters of credit, there
were no borrowings under this facility.
40
Table of Contents
ii - Term Loan B - U.S. Facility
Telesat's term loan B - U.S. facility ("U.S. TLB Facility") is a $1,908.5
million facility maturing in December 2026. As of June 30, 2021, $1,552.8
million of this facility was outstanding, which represents the full amount
available. The borrowings under Telesat's U.S. TLB Facility bear interest at a
floating rate of either: (i) LIBOR as periodically determined for interest rate
periods selected by Telesat in accordance with the terms of the senior secured
credit facilities plus an applicable margin of 2.75%; or (ii) Alternative Base
Rate as determined in accordance with the terms of the senior secured credit
facilities plus an applicable margin of 1.75%.
In December 2020, Telesat made a $341.4 million prepayment on its outstanding
term loans under its U.S. TLB Facility. The mandatory principal repayments on
Telesat's U.S. TLB Facility are one quarter of 1.00% of the value of the loan,
which must be paid on the last day of each quarter. As a result of the
prepayment made in December 2020, mandatory quarterly principal repayments will
no longer be required.
Senior Secured Notes
Telesat has senior secured notes, in the amount of $400.0 million, which bear
interest at an annual rate of 4.875% and are due in June 2027 (the "4.875%
Senior Secured Notes"). The 4.875% Senior Secured Notes indenture includes
covenants or terms that restrict Telesat's ability to, among other things, incur
additional indebtedness, incur liens, pay dividends or make certain other
restricted payments, investments or acquisitions, enter into certain
transactions with affiliates, modify or cancel its satellite insurance, effect
mergers with another entity, and redeem its 4.875% Senior Secured Notes, without
penalty, before December 1, 2024, in each case subject to exceptions provided in
the 4.875% Senior Secured Notes indenture.
On April 27, 2021, Telesat issued senior secured notes in the amount of $500
million at an annual rate of 5.625%, which are due in December 2026 (the "5.625%
Senior Secured Notes"). The 5.625% Senior Secured Notes indenture includes
covenants and terms that restrict Telesat's ability to, among other things,
incur additional indebtedness, incur liens, pay dividends or make certain other
restricted payments, investments or acquisitions, enter into certain
transactions with affiliates, modify or cancel its satellite insurance, effect
mergers with another entity, and redeem the 5.625% Senior Secured Notes, without
penalty, before December 6, 2022, in each case subject to exceptions provided in
the 5.625% Senior Secured Notes indenture. Telesat incurred debt issuance costs
of CAD 6.8 million in connection with the issuance of the 5.625% Senior Secured
Notes.
Senior Notes
Telesat's senior notes, in the amount of $550 million, bear interest at an
annual rate of 6.5% and are due in October 2027. They include covenants or terms
that restrict Telesat's ability to, among other things, incur additional
indebtedness, incur liens, pay dividends or make certain other restricted
payments, investments or acquisitions, enter into certain transactions with
affiliates, modify or cancel its satellite insurance, effect mergers with
another entity, and redeem its senior notes, without penalty, before October 15,
2024, in each case subject to exceptions provided in the senior notes indenture.
Debt Service Cost
The interest expense on Telesat's senior secured credit facilities, senior
notes, senior secured notes and interest rate swaps, excluding the impact of the
amortization of deferred financing costs, prepayment options and loss on
repayment for the year ended December 31, 2021, is expected to be approximately
CAD 162.1 million.
Derivatives
Telesat uses, from time to time, interest rate and currency derivatives to
manage its exposure to changes in interest rates and foreign exchange rates.
41
Table of Contents
As of June 30, 2021, Telesat had two outstanding interest rate swaps which hedge
the interest rate risk associated with the variable interest rate on
$900 million of U.S. denominated Term Loan B borrowings. These contracts, which
mature in September 2021 and September 2022, are at fixed interest rates of
1.95% to 2.04%, respectively, excluding applicable margin. As of June 30, 2021,
the fair value of the interest rate swaps was a liability of $8.6 million.
Telesat also has foreign currency embedded derivatives in its purchase contracts
with suppliers and sales contracts with customers as a result of some of these
contracts being denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of
the substantial parties to the respective contract. The fair value of these
foreign currency embedded derivatives as of June 30, 2021 was a net liability of
$7.9 million.
Capital Expenditures
Telesat has entered into contracts for the development of Telesat Lightspeed
constellation and other capital expenditures. The outstanding commitments
associated with these contracts were approximately CAD 203.0 million as of June
30, 2021. These expenditures may be funded from some or all of the following:
cash and short-term investments; cash flow from operating activities; cash flow
from customer prepayments; or funds available under the revolving credit
facility.
Statements of Cash Flows
Net Cash Used in Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $8.4 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2021, consisting primarily of a $8.0 million cash use attributable to
net income adjusted for non-cash operating items, a $0.6 million decrease in
pension and other post-retirement liabilities and a $0.4 million increase in
other current assets, partially offset by a $0.5 million increase in other
liabilities and a $0.1 million increase in accrued employment costs and other
current liabilities.
Net cash used in operating activities was $7.3 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2020, consisting primarily of a $6.9 million cash use attributable to
net loss adjusted for non-cash operating items, a $0.6 million decrease in
accrued employment costs and other current liabilities, a $0.9 million decrease
in income taxes payable, net of refunds receivable, and a $0.9 million decrease
in pension and other post-retirement liabilities, partially offset by a $1.9
million increase in other liabilities.
Net Cash Used in Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $170.1 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2020 attributable to the payment of a cash dividend to common
shareholders in May 2020.
Affiliate Matters
Loral has made certain investments in joint ventures in the satellite services
business that are accounted for under the equity method of accounting (see Note
5 to our financial statements for further information on affiliate matters).
Commitments and Contingencies
Our business and operations are subject to a number of significant risks, the
most significant of which are summarized in Part II, Item 1A - Risk Factors and
also in Note 13 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Other Matters
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
