Monitor for definitive contract execution in the coming weeks, which should trigger detailed financial disclosure. The win validates Telesat Lightspeed's government/military revenue thesis and de-risks the LEO constellation business case. Positive read-through for TSAT given the 86% historical win rate on prior reports and the cross-filing amplifier context from the 20-F annual report.

Executive Summary
Telesat announced an agreement in principle with Canada's Defence Investment Agency for Telesat Lightspeed to deliver secure Military Ka-band Arctic connectivity to the Canadian Armed Forces under the ESCP-P program. The agreement is subject to a definitive contract expected in the coming weeks, with financial details to follow, and does not affect the Q1 2028 global service delivery timeline.
