SSC SECURITY SERVICES ANNOUNCES FILING AND MAILING OF MEETING MATERIALS TO APPROVE ARRANGEMENT AGREEMENT WITH UNIVERSAL PROTECTION SERVICE, LP
SSC Security Services Corp. has filed the notice of special meeting, management information circular and related materials in connection with the special meeting of shareholders of the company.
At the meeting, shareholders will be asked to consider and approve a special resolution approving the proposed plan of arrangement involving the company and Universal Protection Service LP (operating as Allied Universal), pursuant to which Allied Universal will acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of SSC. For additional information, please refer to the joint news release of the company and Allied Universal announcing the arrangement dated May 26, 2026.
On June 12, 2026, the company obtained an interim order from the Court of King's Bench for Saskatchewan authorizing various procedural matters, including the holding of the meeting and the mailing of the meeting materials, a copy of which is included as Appendix D to the circular. The hearing date of the application for the final order of the court approving the arrangement is scheduled for July 27, 2026, at 10 a.m. Regina time. A copy of the originating application for the final order is included as Appendix F to the circular.
SSC has arranged for the distribution of the meeting materials to the shareholders, and the meeting materials are available on the company's transfer agent's website and under the company's profile on SEDAR+. Shareholders are encouraged to read the meeting materials for additional information regarding the meeting and the arrangement.
Meeting details
The meeting will be held in person at Suite 800, 1801 Hamilton St., Regina, Sask., on July 22, 2026, at 10 a.m. Regina time.
Reasons to vote for the arrangement resolution
The board of directors of SSC (subject to abstentions where legally required) unanimously recommends that shareholders vote
for
the arrangement resolution. Some of the key factors and reasons considered by the board include:
- Meaningful premium to market: Under the arrangement agreement, SSC shareholders will receive all-cash consideration of $4.4075 per share, representing a 119-per-cent premium to the closing share price on May 25, 2026, and an 86-per-cent premium to the volume-weighted average share price over the last full year of trading.
-
Certainty of value and immediate liquidity: The consideration paid on closing of the transaction provides certainty of value and immediate liquidity, which enables SSC shareholders to realize significant value for their interest in the company. The purchase price proceeds received by SSC and Logixx Security Inc. from the management buyout (MBO) are factored into the consideration payable to SSC shareholders under the arrangement such that SSC shareholders will indirectly receive their pro rata share of the MBO purchase price.
-
Support from SSC shareholders: The directors and senior officers of the company have entered into voting support agreements with Allied Universal pursuant to which, among other things, they have agreed to vote all SSC shares owned or controlled by them in favour of the arrangement, representing approximately 34.4 per cent of the outstanding SSC shares.
-
Fairness opinion: Receipt of the fairness opinion from Sequeira Partners, which concluded that, based upon and subject to the various assumptions, limitations, qualifications and other matters set forth in its opinion, the consideration to be received by SSC shareholders pursuant to the transaction is fair, from a financial point of view, to the SSC shareholders.
-
High likelihood of completion: Allied Universal is a large, credible and reputable industry participant, with demonstrated creditworthiness and successfully completed transactions. The transaction is subject to a limited number of customary conditions (which do not include any financing or due diligence conditions) that the special committee and board believe are reasonable in the circumstances.
