Key Details
- Bid Size: Up to C$350 million (approximately 10% of outstanding shares).
- Auction Mechanics:
- Shareholders may submit:
- Auction tender – specify price between C$50.00 and C$57.00 in C$0.25 increments.
- Purchase‑price tender – no price specified; shares priced at the minimum auction price (C$50.00).
- Proportionate tender – to maintain existing ownership percentage after the SIB.

- Key Shareholder Participation:
- Jarislowsky Fraser Global Investment Management (≈13.19% ownership) will make a proportionate tender to keep its stake unchanged.
- No directors or officers intend to participate.
- Purchase‑Price Determination: The final price will be the lowest price within the C$50.00‑C$57.00 band that allows Altus to purchase all validly tendered shares without exceeding the “Auction Tender Limit Amount.” Shares tendered above the final price are returned.
- Proration Rules: If aggregate tenders exceed the limit, purchases will be prorated on a pro‑rata basis (odd‑lot holders exempt).
