MONTRÉAL, May 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ – CGI (TSX: GIB.A) (NYSE: GIB) announced today that it intends to enter into a private agreement with CDPQ for the purchase for cancellation of 2,887,878 of its Class A subordinate voting shares (“Class A Shares”) held by CDPQ for a price of $138.51 per Class A Share, which represents a discount to the closing price on May 27, 2024 of the Class A Shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”).

The transaction will be made in connection with the periodic portfolio rebalancing of CDPQ. Once completed, CDPQ will continue to hold approximately 16.29 million Class A Shares, representing approximately 7.15% of CGI’s total outstanding shares.

“CGI is an international leader in the IT industry and continues to stand out with its sustained growth and operational excellence, benefiting its shareholders,” highlights Kim Thomassin, Executive Vice-President and Head of Québec at CDPQ. “We will remain a major shareholder of the company following this repurchase, and continue our commitment of over 30 years in supporting CGI’s expansion.”

“This transaction is consistent with CGI’s strategy to continuously deliver accretive value to our shareholders,” said Julie Godin, Co-Chair of the Board, CGI. “With strong profitability and cash generation—including $2.8 billion of cash readily available as at the end of March 2024—CGI’s financial strength reflects our ongoing resilience and capacity to execute on our Build and Buy profitable growth strategy.”

A favorable decision was obtained from the Autorité des marchés financiers (“AMF”) to exempt CGI from the issuer bid requirements under applicable securities legislation. The transaction is expected to be entered into later today and settled on May 29, 2024.

The share repurchase will be made under CGI’s normal course issuer bid (“NCIB”), the renewal of which was announced on January 31, 2024.

1.1 Less than 5-axis-  CNC vertical machining centers come in three variants: 2.5-axis, 3-axis, and 4-axis. In 2.5-axis machines, only two axes can rotate simultaneously. In contrast, 3-axis and 4-axis models enable the cutting tool to move around three axes (X, Y, and Z) and a rotating X-axis, respectively. While 2.5-axis machines are mostly outdated, 4-axis models have gained popularity. However, 5-axis CNC vertical machining centers lead the market due to their extensive capabilities. For simple metal designs like gear cutting, 3-axis and 4-axis machines are preferred due to their affordability. The adoption of 3+2 CNC vertical machining centers is increasing, offering a cost-effective way to upgrade capabilities. SMEs and start-ups, constrained by budgets, will continue to drive demand for 3-axis CNC vertical machining centers, fueling market growth.

Research Analysis

CNC Vertical Machining Centers (VMCs) are essential machines in the manufacturing industry for producing metal components from hard metals, steel, aluminum, and various ferrous and non-ferrous metals. VMCs utilize Computer Numerical Control (CNC) technology, including templates, cams, and rotary devices, to precisely machine parts along the spindle axis. These machines are widely used in the manufacturing industry segment for producing complex components in large quantities. CNC VMCs can be integrated with collaborative robots for lights-out production and CAM software for optimized tool path planning. Rotary cutters and milling machines are common types of VMCs used for cutting and milling materials like wood, steel, and electrical industry components. The tool axes in VMCs can be configured to accommodate various cutting tools, enabling the production of intricate parts for diverse industries, including automotive, aerospace, and industrial automation market.

Market Research Overview

CNC Vertical Machining Centers (VMCs) are essential machines used in manufacturing industry for producing metal components from hard metals, steel, and aluminum. VMCs utilize Computer Numerical Control (CNC) technology, templates, cams, and rotary devices to machine complex jobs on flat works, molds, die cavities, engine propellers, and impellers. Industrial processes, including manufacturing activities in giant manufacturing countries, increasingly rely on VMCs for their high precision and efficiency. VMCs can be distinguished from Horizontal Machining Centers (HMCs) by their vertical spindle axis. Advanced CNC controls, high-speed spindles, automatic tool changers, and automation technologies such as collaborative robots enable lights-out production. CNC machining capacity is influenced by raw material costs, including steel, carbon, and electricity, as well as the manufacturing industry segment. CNC machining centers are used in various industries, including electrical, automotive, aerospace, and consumer electronics, to produce parts for semiconductors, printed circuit boards, heat sinks, and more. Milling, rotary cutters, and milling machines are common applications for VMCs, which can machine metal, wood, and other materials using tool axes.
