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
statements 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, without limitation, statements regarding the
Corporation’s intentions and expectations with respect to the Offer
and the variation of the Offer, the terms and conditions of the
Offer, the timing of the mailing of the Notice and the expected
Expiration Date of the Offer and purchases thereunder. Purchases
made under the Offer are not guaranteed and are subject to certain
conditions set out in the Offer Documents, in each case as will be
varied by the Notice.
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 pandemics
or epidemics, 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 or revise any
forward-looking information, whether as a result of new
information, future events or otherwise, except as required by
applicable law.
