TORONTO, March 10, 2026 /CNW/ -(EQNX::nobreakspace)MDA Space Ltd. ("MDA Space" or the "Company") (TSX: MDA) announced today that it has launched a marketed public offering (the "Offering") of common shares of MDA Space (the "Common Shares") in the United States and Canada, representing the Company's initial public offering in the United States.

In connection with the initial public offering in the United States, MDA Space has filed an application to list its Common Shares on the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") under the symbol "MDA". Trading of the Common Shares is expected to commence on the NYSE following pricing of the Offering and will continue on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX") under the symbol "MDA".

A total of US$300 million of Common Shares will be offered by MDA Space for sale in the Offering, which will be conducted through a syndicate of underwriters led by J.P. Morgan and RBC Capital Markets, who are acting as joint lead active bookrunners, and BMO Capital Markets, Deutsche Bank Securities, Jefferies, Scotiabank, and Canaccord Genuity, who are acting as joint active bookrunners. The Offering will be priced in the context of the market, with the price per share (the "Offering Price") to be determined at the time of entering into an underwriting agreement for the Offering (the "Underwriting Agreement").

MDA Space will also grant the underwriters an over-allotment option, exercisable for a period of 30 days from the date of the Underwriting Agreement, to purchase up to an additional 15% of the number of Common Shares to be sold pursuant to the Offering.

MDA Space intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering to allow the Company to pursue its growth strategies, including expanding its customer base and solutions, supporting the growth of existing customers, and pursuing other strategic opportunities, which may include acquisitions or investments. MDA Space may also use a portion of the net proceeds of the Offering for general corporate purposes, including the repayment of a portion of amounts outstanding under the Company's existing credit facilities.

Closing of the Offering will be subject to customary conditions, including the entering into of the Underwriting Agreement, the listing of the Common Shares on the NYSE and the TSX, and any required approvals of the NYSE and the TSX.
