AIMIA CONFIRMS THE LAUNCH OF ITS NORMAL COURSE ISSUER BID TO REPURCHASE UP TO 5,906,629 SHARES

The Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) has approved Aimia Inc.'s previously announced normal course issuer bid (NCIB).

The NCIB represents part of the company's strategy of enhancing shareholder value and reducing the discount of its share price relative to the intrinsic value of its net assets.

Aimia has received approval to purchase for cancellation up to 5,906,629 of its common shares, or 10 per cent of the public float of 59,066,298 common shares as at May 30, 2025, through the facilities of the TSX and through alternative Canadian trading systems (such as Alpha ATS), or by exempt offers or block purchases, during the period from June 6, 2025, to no later than June 5, 2026.

Purchases made on the open market through the facilities of the TSX and alternative Canadian trading systems will be at the prevailing market price at the time of acquisition. Aimia may also purchase common shares for cancellation pursuant to exemption orders from applicable securities regulatory authorities, and such purchases will be at a discount to the prevailing market price. As at May 30, 2024, there were 92,815,385 issued and outstanding common shares, and Aimia has repurchased and cancelled 5,835,932 of its common shares over the 12 past months out of the 7,009,622 shares that were authorized for repurchase and cancellation by the TSX during the 2024/2025 NCIB program. The weighted average price of the shares purchased was $2.61 per share. Purchases were made through the TSX and through the alternative Canadian trading systems.

The average daily trading volume on the TSX less shares purchased by Aimia for the past six months was 45,495 common shares. Under TSX rules, a maximum daily purchase of 25 per cent of this average may be made, representing 11,373 common shares. In addition, Aimia may make, once per week, a block purchase (as such term is defined in the TSX company manual) of common shares not directly or indirectly owned by insiders of Aimia, in accordance with the regulations of the TSX. The common shares purchased pursuant to the NCIB will be cancelled.

Transactions under the NCIB will depend on future market conditions. Aimia renewed its automatic share purchase plan agreement with the designated broker responsible for the NCIB, to allow for the repurchase of common shares at times when Aimia ordinarily would not be active in the market due to its prescheduled blackout periods. The renewal of the plan will be effective on June 6, 2025. Outside of such prescheduled blackout periods, Aimia retains discretion whether to make purchases under the NCIB, and to determine the timing, amount and acceptable price of any such purchases, subject at all times to applicable TSX and other regulatory requirements.

Aimia believes that the market price of its common shares may, from time to time, not reflect the intrinsic value of the company and that repurchases of common shares pursuant to the NCIB may represent an appropriate and desirable use of the company's funds. Therefore, Aimia believes that it is in its best interest to proceed with this NCIB, while maintaining sufficient financial flexibility to execute on the company's future strategic direction and capital-allocation priorities.
