LAST CHANCE FOR AIMIA SHAREHOLDERS TO MAKE THEIR VOTE COUNT
Aimia Inc. has released a reminder for shareholders to vote ahead of the company's annual general meeting of shareholders scheduled to be held on June 26, 2024. Aimia thanks shareholders who have already voted their shares FOR all management nominees to the Board of Directors (the "Board") and urges those who have not yet voted, to act promptly to protect their investment.
Aimia has a refreshed board and management and has initiated a comprehensive strategic review to unlock value in its portfolio of assets and return that value to all shareholders. A video released earlier this week on the Company's strategic actions to unlock shareholder value is available here:
https://www.aimia.com/investor-relations/proxy-circulars-offer-documents/.
Shareholders are strongly encouraged to VOTE TODAY AND ONLY FOR: Tom Finke, Robert Feingold, Linda Habgood, Thomas Little, James Scarlett, Ioannis (Yannis) Skoufalos, and Jordan Teramo. These seven highly skilled management nominees have received the endorsement of leading independent proxy advisory firm Institutional Shareholder Services ("ISS") and are dedicated to creating value for all shareholders and operating with the highest levels of integrity.
In contrast, Mithaq - whose dissident slate was rejected by ISS - intends to rapidly liquidate assets and invest the cash in stocks of their choosing, despite an unproven track record of successful portfolio management and disregarding investors' desire for a return of their capital. This approach, along with Mithaq's misleading statements and persistent efforts to misguide shareholders, represents a significant threat to the Company's stability and ability to unlock value in its core assets.
As advised earlier, the Meeting will be conducted by an independent chair advised by independent counsel and may be contested. To attend at the Meeting, one must be either a registered shareholder or a duly appointed proxyholder. Please follow the instructions on your VIF form and from your custodian or broker to ensure that your proxy is properly submitted.
If the Meeting becomes a "contested meeting" (which occurs where there is more than one candidate nominated for each position available on the Board), any votes that are cast "AGAINST" any nominee director on the Company's form of proxy will be treated as "WITHHOLD" votes for purposes of tabulating the votes at the Meeting in accordance with the Canada Business Corporation Act and its regulations.
DON'T MISS YOUR LAST CHANCE.
VOTE TODAY.
Act Now! The completed management proxy must be received no later than 10:30 AM (Toronto time) on Monday, June 24, 2024, to make your vote count.
The Management Information Circular (the "Circular") and related materials for the Meeting are available under the Company's profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.
