Leitch Raises $52.8 Million

Leitch Technology Corporation (Leitch) announced on June 19, 2000, that it had agreed to issue 2 million common shares at $26.40 per share, representing an aggregate amount of issue of $52.8 million in a bought deal, involving BMO Nesbitt Burns, Yorkton Securities and National Bank Financial.
