Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains “forward-looking information” within
the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws. Forward-looking
information may relate to our future outlook and anticipated events
or results and may include information regarding our financial
position, business strategy, growth strategy, budgets, operations,
financial results, taxes, dividend policy, plans and objectives.
Particularly, information regarding our expectations of future
results, performance, achievements, prospects or opportunities is
forward-looking information. In some cases, forward-looking
information can be identified by the use of forward-looking
terminology such as “plans”, “targets”, “expects” or “does not
expect”, “is expected”, “an opportunity exists”, “budget”,
“scheduled”, “estimates”, “outlook”, “forecasts”, “projection”,
“prospects”, “strategy”, “intends”, “anticipates”, “does not
anticipate”, “believes”, or variations of such words and phrases or
state that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”,
“would”, “might”, “will”, “will be taken”, “occur” or “be
achieved”. In addition, any statements that refer to expectations,
intentions, projections or other characterizations of future events
or circumstances contain forward-looking information. Statements
containing forward-looking information are not historical facts but
instead represent management’s expectations, estimates and
projections regarding future events or circumstances. These
statements include the payment of the consent fees in a timely
manner.
Undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking
information. The forward-looking information in this press release
is based on our opinions, estimates and assumptions in light of our
experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions
and expected future developments, as well as other factors that we
currently believe are appropriate and reasonable in the
circumstances. Despite a careful process to prepare and review the
forward-looking information, there can be no assurance that the
underlying opinions, estimates and assumptions will prove to be
correct. Further, forward-looking information is subject to known
and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause
actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements to
be materially different from those expressed or implied by such
forward- looking information, including but not limited to, those
described in this press release. The belief that the investment
fund industry and wealth management industry will remain stable and
that interest rates will remain relatively stable are material
factors made in preparing the forward- looking information and
management’s expectations contained in this press release and that
may cause actual results to differ materially from the
forward-looking information disclosed in this press release. In
addition, factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from expectations include, among other things, general
economic and market conditions, including interest and foreign
exchange rates, global financial markets, the impact of the
coronavirus pandemic, changes in government regulations or in tax
laws, industry competition, technological developments and other
factors described or discussed in CI Financial’s disclosure
materials filed with applicable securities regulatory authorities
from time to time. Additional information about the risks and
uncertainties of the Corporation’s business and material risk
factors or assumptions on which information contained in
forward‐looking information is based is provided in the
Corporation’s disclosure materials, including the Corporation’s
most recently filed annual information form and any
subsequently-filed interim management’s discussion and analysis,
which are available under our profile on SEDAR+ at
www.sedarplus.com. There can be no assurance that such information
will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events
could differ materially from those anticipated in such information.
Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward
looking information, which speaks only as of the date made. The
forward-looking information contained in this press release
represents our expectations as of the date of this news release and
is subject to change after such date. CI Financial disclaims any
intention or obligation or undertaking to update publicly or revise
any forward-looking information, whether as a result of new
information, future events or otherwise, except as required by
applicable law.
