• Offering Upsized to US$819M

  MDA Space increased its bought deal from 20M to 23M common shares at US$35.60 per share, raising gross proceeds of ~US$819M (up from ~US$712M). An over-allotment option for an additional 3.45M shares could bring total proceeds to ~US$942M.

• Pricing at Market

  The offering price of US$35.60 is essentially at the current market price of $35.61, indicating strong institutional demand and no material discount required to place the upsized deal.

• Dilution Impact

  The 23M new shares represent approximately 16.6% of the 138.9M shares outstanding before the offering, a meaningful but not extreme dilution for a strategic acquisition.

• Use of Proceeds

  Net proceeds will fund the ~C$920M acquisition of a 70% interest in CLS, repay CLS debt if needed, and cover transaction costs. The offering is not conditional on the acquisition closing.
