CI Financial to Delist from Toronto Stock Exchange Following Closing of the Transaction CI Financial Corp. announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement with an affiliate of Mubadala Capital, the alternative asset management arm of Mubadala Investment Company, to take CI private in a transaction that values CI’s equity at approximately $4.7 billion and implies an enterprise value of approximately $12.1 billion. Following the closing of the transaction, CI will continue to operate with its current structure and management team and will be independent of Mubadala Capital’s other portfolio businesses. CI’s debentures and notes are expected to remain outstanding following closing of the transaction and the financing for the transaction has been structured to maintain CI’s long-term issuer and senior unsecured debt ratings of Baa3 (Stable) by Moody’s. CI’s shares will be delisted from the Toronto Stock Exchange following closing of the transaction; however, CI is expected to remain a reporting issuer under applicable Canadian securities laws as a result of its debentures and notes remaining outstanding. Holders of outstanding shares of preferred equity in CI’s subsidiary, Corient Holdings Inc., have agreed to waive and amend certain liquidity and other rights in connection with the transaction through the closing of the transaction. Mubadala Capital intends to fund up to $750 million of additional cash at closing to reduce the preferred equity outstanding.
