Full Description of Material Change

On May 30, 2023, the Company announced the closing of its previously announced public offering of 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, ATS filed an application to list the Common Shares on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “ATS”. Trading of the Common Shares commenced on the New York Stock Exchange on May 25, 2023. A total of 6,900,000 Common Shares were sold by the Company, including 900,000 Common Shares pursuant to the exercise in full by the underwriters of their over-allotment option, at a price of US$41.00 per share, for gross proceeds to the Company of US$282,900,000.


The offering was conducted through a syndicate of underwriters led by Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, as joint active bookrunners. TD Securities Inc. and Scotia Capital (USA) Inc. also acted as bookrunners in connection with the offering. National Bank of Canada Financial, Inc., Cormark Securities Inc., Stifel Nicolaus Canada Inc., Commerz Markets LLC, Raymond James Ltd., RBC Capital Markets, LLC and UniCredit Capital Markets LLC acted as co-managers.

The Company expects that the net proceeds of the offering will be used for strategic opportunities, including acquisitions, as well as working capital requirements and general corporate purposes. Consistent with the Company’s value creation strategy, ATS may execute on strategic opportunities, including disciplined acquisitions, if and when such opportunities arise, that drive the creation of long-term sustainable shareholder value. Pending those strategic opportunities, ATS expects to use the net proceeds to pay down amounts drawn on its C$750.0 million revolving senior secured line of credit.

ATS is publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange and the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol “ATS”.
