Toronto, Ontario – May 22, 2008 – Magellan Aerospace Corporation (“Magellan” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has proceeded with its previously announced consolidation of the common shares of the Company.

The consolidation resulted in each shareholder of the Company receiving one post-consolidation common share for every five pre-consolidation common shares held.
