ATS Corporation (TSX and NYSE: ATS) (“ATS” or the “Company”), announced today that it has entered into an underwriting agreement with a syndicate of underwriters to sell, pursuant to a private placement offering (the “Offering”), an additional $200 million aggregate principal amount of its 6.50% senior unsecured notes due 2032 (the “Notes”), which aggregate principal amount of additional Notes was upsized from the initial target reopening size of $150 million.

The Notes will be issued at a price of 100.625% of their face value (plus accrued interest from August 21, 2024), with a yield to call of 6.341%. The Notes will have identical terms (except for their date of issue and issuance price) and be fungible (following the expiry of the applicable statutory hold period) with and be part of a single series with the $400 million aggregate principal amount of 6.50% senior unsecured notes due 2032 issued by the Company on August 21, 2024.

ATS intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering to pay outstanding amounts owed under the revolving line of credit available under its senior syndicated credit facility.

The Offering is expected to close on or about December 19, 2024, subject to customary closing conditions.

The Notes are being conditionally offered for sale in Canada on a private placement basis pursuant to certain prospectus exemptions. The Notes have not been registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act“), or any state securities laws, and are being offered and sold in the United States only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws and outside the United States in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act.

This news release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes, nor shall there be any offer or sale of the Notes in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
