SECURE SHAREHOLDERS OVERWHELMINGLY APPROVE TRANSACTION WITH GFL ENVIRONMENTAL
SECURE Investors Bless GFL Tie‑Up, Paving Way for $6.4 Billion Waste Giant

Executive Summary
- SECURE Waste Infrastructure Corp. shareholders overwhelmingly approved the arrangement agreement with GFL Environmental Inc.
- 134.6 M votes (78.8%) were cast in favour, meeting the 66 ⅔% threshold and MI 61‑101 minority‑shareholder requirements.
- The transaction, announced 2026‑04‑13, values SECURE at ~C$6.4 B enterprise value and offers shareholders C$24.75 per share in cash, GFL shares, or a combination.
- Closing is expected in H2 2026, subject to court (application May 28) and regulatory approvals.
Material Impact
- The vote is a necessary step toward completing the acquisition and was widely anticipated after unanimous board support and ISS/Glass Lewis recommendations.
- The result removes a minor uncertainty but does not materially change the probability of closing; the stock already trades at a discount to the offer price (‑14%) reflecting remaining regulatory/timing risk.
- In the context of previous news, this is a procedural milestone that confirms momentum, not a game‑changing revelation.
- Overall, the news is incrementally positive but fully expected.

Company Overview
- SECURE owns and operates a hard‑to‑replicate network of waste processing, produced‑water disposal, and metals recycling facilities, primarily in Western Canada.
- The company’s “flagship” is its integrated infrastructure serving the Montney and oil‑sands regions, with recent greenfield additions: two produced‑water disposal facilities in the Montney and the reopening of an industrial waste processing plant in Alberta’s Industrial Heartland (expected Q2 2026).
- Revenue is largely recurring, tied to mandated waste handling and production volumes.
