AIF · Price

Executive Summary

  • Altus Group Ltd. has commenced a Substantial Issuer Bid (SIB) to repurchase and cancel up to $200 million of its common shares as part of its capital return strategy.
  • The bid will operate via a modified Dutch auction with a tender price range of $42.00 to $52.00 per share, expiring on April 21, 2026.
  • The company intends to fund the entire repurchase using existing cash on hand, citing that the current market price does not reflect the company's fundamental value.

  • Tender Price Range: $42.00 to $52.00 per share, in $0.50 increments.

  • Pricing Determination: Final purchase price will be the lowest price enabling the company to buy all valid auction/purchase price tenders within the $200M limit, with a hard floor of $42.00.
  • Proration Rules: Excess tenders will be purchased pro-rata, except odd-lot holders (<100 shares) are exempt. Proportionate tenders are always honored to preserve ownership percentages.

  • Shares Outstanding: 39,666,476 shares (as of March 13, 2026, net of 191,057 escrowed shares).
