The offering is being underwritten by RBC Capital Markets, BMO Capital Markets and TD Securities. The common shares will be priced at $69.40 and the offering is expected to close on or about March 27, 2013.

Additionally MDA has granted the underwriters an over-allotment option to purchase up to an additional 540,750 Common Shares on the same terms and conditions.

In early morning trading MDA’s stock was trading at $70.11.
