FSZ Fiera Capital Corporation

Integrated Asset Management Corp. (“IAM”) (TSX: IAM) announced today that, in connection with IAM’s previously announced statutory plan of arrangement (the “Arrangement”) under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) pursuant to which Fiera Capital Corporation (“Fiera Capital”) (TSX: FSZ) will acquire all of the outstanding common shares of IAM (the “IAM Shares”), it has declared a conditional special dividend in the amount of $0.08 per IAM Share, payable in cash on July 4, 2019. Shareholders of record immediately prior to 12:01 a.m. (Toronto time) on July 3, 2019, which is effectively the close of business on July 2, 2019, will be entitled to receive payment of the dividend. 12:01 a.m. (Toronto time) on July 3, 2019 is the anticipated effective time on the effective date for the Arrangement. The special dividend will only be paid if the Arrangement is completed.

The special dividend is intended to be and is designated an “eligible dividend” for purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and any applicable provincial taxing statutes.

Because the special dividend is conditional upon the completion of the Arrangement, the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) requires the IAM Shares to trade on a “due bill” basis from and including June 28, 2019 until the close of trading on July 4, 2019 (the “Due Bill Period”). This means that buyers of IAM Shares during the Due Bill Period will receive the special dividend payment, provided that they continue to be holders of the applicable IAM Shares at the close of trading on July 4, 2019. The IAM Shares will continue to trade on a “due bill” basis to the extent the IAM Shares continue to trade after the Due Bill Period.

Pursuant to the Arrangement and conditional upon completion of the Arrangement, a cash payment equal to the special dividend will be paid to holders of IAM in-the-money options in an aggregate amount equal to $80,177.45.

The closing of the Arrangement is subject to IAM’s adjusted cash balance (as calculated under the arrangement agreement dated March 21, 2019 between IAM and Fiera Capital) being at least $10 million at the effective date and closing conditions customary in transactions of this nature, including approval by the TSX for the listing of Fiera Capital Class A subordinate voting shares to be issued. Assuming that the conditions to closing are satisfied or waived, it is expected that the Arrangement will be completed on July 3, 2019. Following completion of the Arrangement, IAM expects the IAM Shares will be de-listed from the TSX and applications will be made for IAM to cease to be a reporting issuer.

Further information regarding the Arrangement, including the special dividend and the payment on IAM in-the-money options pursuant to the Arrangement, is contained in IAM’s management information circular, a copy of which is available under IAM’s profile on SEDAR at https://www.sedar.com.
