The net proceeds may also be used to fund the repayment of all or a portion of CLS’ existing indebtedness (if the Company is unable to arrange debt financing to repay such indebtedness) and/or related financing fees and transaction expenses.

Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements contained in this news release are forward-looking information and forward-looking statements (collectively, “forward-looking statements”) (within the meaning of the Canadian securities laws and United States federal securities laws, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) and are provided for the purpose of presenting information about management's current expectations and plans relating to the future. Readers are cautioned that such statements may not be appropriate for other purposes. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding: the Offering and the Acquisition, the terms of the Acquisition, and the intended use of proceeds of the Offering. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by such terms as "may", “will”, “would”, “anticipate”, “anticipated”, "intend", “expect” and “expected”.
The forward-looking statements in this news release are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by MDA Space in light of management's experience and perception of historical trends, including assumptions regarding general economic and political conditions, the Company’s future growth initiatives, and the Company’s ability to complete the Acquisition. Such statements are subject to significant known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results or events to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such statements and, accordingly, should not be read as guarantees of future performance or results and will not necessarily be accurate indications of whether or not such results will be achieved. Such risks include the risk that the Acquisition will not be completed, as well as those risks described in the base shelf prospectus filed on August 7, 2025, the final prospectus supplement filed in connection with the Offering available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca, including the documents incorporated by reference therein (including the risks and uncertainties detailed under the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s annual information form dated March 4, 2026), and the registration statement on Form F-10 (File No. 333-297319), filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on July 8, 2026, including the U.S. prospectus supplement, dated July 9, 2026, filed in connection with the Offering, and the documents incorporated by reference therein, available on EDGAR at www.sec.gov, which risks may be dependent on market factors and not entirely within the Company's control.
Although MDA Space believes that the assumptions underlying these statements are reasonable, they may prove to be incorrect and there can be no assurance that actual results will be consistent with the forward-looking statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements or information included within this news release. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this news release. Except as required by law, MDA Space is not under any obligation, and expressly disclaims any intention or obligation, to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
