Companies in the news:
Pembina Pipeline Corp. (TSX:PPL) Up $1.63 or 4.14 per cent to $41.03 — Pembina Pipeline Corp. will pocket a $350-million break fee after terminating its acquisition of Inter Pipeline Ltd. The move comes after Inter Pipeline's board advised that it would no longer recommend shareholders support the deal after rival Brookfield Infrastructure Partners LP upped its hostile takeover bid for the Calgary-based Inter Pipeline. Pembina CEO Mick Dilger said he was disappointed with the outcome. Inter Pipeline had resisted Brookfield's bid after signing a friendly all-stock deal to be bought by Pembina. That agreement would have seen its shareholders receive half a Pembina share for each Inter Pipeline share they hold. Prominent shareholder advisory firm ISS recommended that Inter Pipeline investors reject the company's proposed sale to Pembina and instead support the takeover by Brookfield after Inter Pipeline's largest shareholder upped its offer to $16 billion, including debt.
MDA Ltd. (TSX:MDA) Down $0.35 or 2.21 per cent to $15.50 — The Canadian Space Agency has awarded a contract worth $35.3 million to MDA Ltd. to design a key component of Canadarm 3. The funds will be used to design Gateway External Robotics Interfaces or grapple fixtures for Canadarm 3, which is Canada's contribution to the United States-led Lunar Gateway, a small space station that will orbit the moon. The contract is a follow-on to the first phase of interface work awarded in August 2019. A construction phase will likely be awarded in about a year. The first elements of Gateway will launch in 2024, with Canadarm 3 scheduled to launch two years later. The contract is the third awarded to MDA for the multi-phase Canadarm 3 program valued at more than $1 billion. Canadarm flew on 90 space shuttle missions after debuting in 1981. Canadarm 2 has been operating on the International Space Station for more than 20 years.
Bombardier. (TSX:BBD.B). Down $0.04 or 2.7 per cent to $1.44 — The union representing Bombardier and De Havilland aerospace workers in Toronto are threatening a strike this week unless negotiations can guarantee Dash 8 turboprop jobs remain in the GTA. After a three-week cooling-off period, separate talks were set to resume Sunday ahead of a Tuesday strike deadline. About 2,200 members of Unifor Local 112 and Local 673 at Toronto's Downsview plant manufacture Bombardier's Global business aircraft and until recently the Dash 8 turboprops for De Havilland Canada. The labour negotiations come at a time when the aviation sector is taking baby steps to recover from government-forced shutdowns of international commercial travel because of COVID-19. With the COVID-19 pandemic taking a bite out of aircraft sales, hundreds of aerospace employees are on layoff as production winds down on the Dash 8. The regional aircraft is used by airlines including WestJet, Porter and Jazz.
