Norsat has completed an Arrangement with Hytera pursuant to which Hytera Project, a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Hytera directly acquired ownership and control over 5,848,808 Norsat Shares, representing 100% of the issued and outstanding Norsat Shares. The cash purchase price under the Arrangement was US$11.50 per Norsat Share, and the total consideration paid for the 5,848,808 Norsat Shares was US$67,261,292.

Norsat’s Shares will cease to be listed for trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) on or about the close of business on July 25, 2017. Norsat intends to apply to the relevant securities regulatory authorities to cease to be a reporting issuer in each of British Columbia and Ontario in Canada and in the United States.
