iA Financial Group cautions shareholders that this offer was made at a price that is significantly lower than recent market prices for common shares of iA Financial Group on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”). Ocehan’s unsolicited offer price of $123.50 per share represents a discount of approximately 24.16% to the closing price of iA Financial Group’s common shares on the TSX on November 5, 2025.

It should be noted that mini-tender offers are generally designed to obtain relatively small percentages of a company’s outstanding shares, thereby avoiding the disclosure and procedural requirements applicable to most bids under Canadian securities regulations. Moreover, the Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) and other securities regulatory authorities have expressed serious concerns regarding mini-tender offers, including the possibility that investors might tender to such offers without understanding the offer price relative to the actual market price of their securities. For more information on the risks associated with mini tender offers, shareholders and market participants may consult the CSA’s long-standing guidance at CSA Staff Notice 61-301 Staff Guidance on the Practice of “Mini-Tenders” .
Article content
According to Ocehan’s offer documents, iA Financial Group shareholders who have already tendered their shares may withdraw them by following the procedures described in those documents.
Article content
Shareholders should carefully review the Ocehan offer documents and current market price for iA Financial Group’s shares, and consult their investment advisors regarding any offer they may receive and review with their advisors all options for investment in iA Financial Group shares.
