CI Financial Corp. Announces Pricing Terms of Cash Tender Offer for Any and All of its Outstanding 4.100% Notes due 2051

CI Financial Corp. (“CI” or the “Company”) (TSX: CIX) today announced the pricing terms for the previously announced cash tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) to purchase any and all of its outstanding 4.100% Notes due 2051 (the “Notes”). Unless specified otherwise, references to “$” are to U.S. dollars. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this announcement have the meanings given to them in the Offer to Purchase (as defined below).

The full terms and conditions of the Tender Offer are described in an Offer to Purchase dated May 21, 2024 (as it may be amended or supplemented, the “Offer to Purchase”). The Company refers investors to the Offer to Purchase for the complete terms and conditions of the Tender Offer.

The consideration to be paid in the Tender Offer for the Notes accepted for purchase was determined by reference to the fixed spread specified for the Notes over the yield (the “Reference Yield”) based on the bid-side price of the Reference U.S. Treasury Security, specified in the table below (the “Total Tender Offer Consideration”). The Reference Yield listed in the table below was determined (pursuant to the Offer to Purchase) at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, today, June 5, 2024, by the Dealer Managers. The consideration for the Notes includes an Early Tender Premium of $50 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes accepted for purchase by the Company.

In addition, all payments for Notes tendered on or before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 4, 2024 (the “Early Tender Deadline”) that are purchased by the Company will also include accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of Notes tendered and accepted for purchase from the last interest payment date up to, but not including, the early settlement date, which is currently expected to be June 7, 2024 (the “Early Settlement Date”).

The following table sets forth the aggregate principal amount of Notes that the Company has accepted for purchase and pricing information for the Tender Offer:

In addition, holders whose Notes are accepted will also receive interest on such Notes accrued to the applicable settlement date.

The withdrawal rights for the Tender Offer expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 4, 2024 and have not been extended; therefore, previously tendered Notes may no longer be withdrawn.

BofA Securities, Inc. and RBC Capital Markets, LLC are the Dealer Managers for the Tender Offer. D.F. King & Co., Inc. is the Tender Agent and Information Agent. Holders of the Notes are urged to read the Offer to Purchase carefully. Persons with questions regarding the Tender Offer should contact BofA Securities, Inc. at +1 (888) 292-0070 (toll-free) or +1 (980) 387-5602 (collect) or debt_advisory@bofa.com or RBC Capital Markets, LLC at +1 (877) 381-2099 (toll-free) or +1 (212) 618-7843 (collect) or liability.management@rbccm.com.

This news release is neither an offer to purchase nor a solicitation of an offer to sell the Notes. The Tender Offer is made only by the Offer to Purchase and the information in this news release is qualified by reference to the Offer to Purchase. There is no separate letter of transmittal in connection with the Offer to Purchase. The Tender Offer is not being made in, nor will the Company accept tenders of Notes from, any jurisdiction in which the making or acceptance thereof would not be in compliance with the securities, blue sky or other laws of such jurisdiction.

None of the Company, the Company’s board of directors, the Dealer Managers, the Tender Agent and Information Agent or the trustees with respect to the Notes is making any recommendation as to whether holders should tender any Notes in response to the Tender Offer, and neither the Company nor any such other person has authorized any person to make any such recommendation. Holders must make their own decision as to whether to tender any of their Notes, and, if so, the principal amount of Notes to tender.
