The arrangement

Under the terms of the arrangement agreement, Sun Life proposes to indirectly acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of the company, other than those owned by Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (SLA) and certain common shares owned by members of Dialogue management (collectively, the rolling shareholders) for $5.15 in cash per common share.

Recommendation of the board

The board of directors of Dialogue (with interested and non-independent directors abstaining from voting), based on the unanimous recommendation of a committee of independent directors, unanimously approved the entering into by Dialogue of the arrangement agreement. The board determined, after receiving financial and legal advice, that the arrangement is in the best interests of the company and is fair to the shareholders (other than SLA and the rolling shareholders). The board recommends unanimously that shareholders vote in favour of the arrangement resolution.

Shareholder support

On July 25, 2023, concurrently with the execution of the arrangement agreement, Portag3 Ventures LP, Portag3 Ventures II Investments LP and WSC IV LP, collectively holding approximately 20.9 per cent of the outstanding common shares, and each of the directors and executive officers of Dialogue entered into voting and support agreements pursuant to which they agreed to vote their common shares in favour of the arrangement resolution. Consequently, shareholders holding: (i) approximately 52.2 per cent of the common shares eligible to vote in the special resolution vote described as follows (including the common shares held by SLA); and (ii) approximately 30.5 per cent of the common shares eligible to vote in the minority approval vote described as follows have agreed to vote in favour of the arrangement resolution.

The arrangement resolution must be approved by: (i) at least two-thirds of the votes cast by shareholders voting in person or by proxy at the special meeting of the shareholders, voting together as a single class; and (ii) a simple majority of the votes cast by the shareholders (other than SLA and the rolling shareholders) voting in person or by proxy at the special meeting of the shareholders, voting together as a single class, as further described in the circular.

Your vote is important. Whether or not you plan to attend the meeting, the company encourages you to vote promptly.

The arrangement is expected to close in 2023, subject to obtaining the required shareholder, court and regulatory approvals, and the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions.
