The deal apparently happened on Feb 12, but I just saw it via a tweet from @jeffharrison. I tracked down an official statement from ESRI Australia’s largest shareholder Boustead Singapore Limited, which states the price of AU$2.5 million.
According to the document:
With more than 300 corporate clients spanning nine industries, MDS is an established market leader for geo-spatial solutions in Australia and has a proven business model for the development and provision of location-related online applications, digital mapping products with enhanced data sets, and related consultancy and software services.
It seems the document, a quasi-news release, was not circulated to the press. There are no indications of the acquisition on the ESRI Au or Map Data Sciences websites as I write this.
