Calian Adopts Shareholder Rights Plan - Seite 2

The 2020 Shareholder Rights Plan was not adopted in response to, or in anticipation of, any specific effort to acquire control of the Company and the Company is not aware of any such pending or contemplated proposals.   The 2020 Shareholder Rights Plan is not aimed at blocking bids, but is designed to ensure that all shareholders are treated fairly and equally and to allow the Company an ability to properly evaluate any offer and maximize value for shareholders.

The form of Rights Plan adopted by the Company is consistent with the current practice and the forms of shareholder right plans adopted by other Canadian public companies. The Rights Plan has been conditionally approved by the Toronto Stock Exchange subject to ratification by shareholders as described above and certain other customary conditions.

A complete copy of the Rights Plan will be filed with Canadian Securities Administrators and will be available at www.sedar.com.
