Q: I refer to an earlier question discussing MDA's $10 million equity investment in MAXQ in which 5i alluded that MAXQ was in the "lottery ticket" category. So, I have been a fan of MDA but am now considering an exit. In 5i's opinion, is MDA's $10M investment in MAXQ visionary, or a "hail mary"?
5i Research Answer:
We would consider it a 'seat at the table' for a company that potentially could become a player. Not really a hail mary, as MDA of course knows the space. If MAXQ is successful MDA will likely want a bigger piece of the company.
