ISS and Glass Lewis Back SECURE Waste Infrastructure Shareholder Approval of GFL Deal Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS) and Glass Lewis have both recommended that SECURE Waste Infrastructure shareholders vote "FOR" the proposed transaction with GFL Environmental Inc.
The proposed deal, unanimously approved by SECURE’s Board and Special Committee, would see GFL acquire all issued SECURE common shares through a mix of subordinate voting shares and cash.
Shareholders have until May 25, 2026, to cast their votes on a transaction the company describes as offering a premium valuation with immediate cash value and ongoing participation in the combined business.
The dual endorsement from ISS and Glass Lewis adds external support to the board’s unanimous approval and may influence how many institutional and retail investors approach the upcoming vote.
You may want to review the mix of cash and GFL shares on offer, as well as your preferred exposure to the combined company, before deciding how to vote ahead of the May 25 deadline. Tillkännagivande • Apr 22

(TSX:SES) from Angelo, Gordon & Co., L.P., Solus Alternative Asset Management LP and others for approximately CAD 5.5 billion. GFL Environmental Inc. (TSX:GFL) entered into a definitive agreement to acquire SECURE Waste Infrastructure Corp. (TSX:SES) from Angelo, Gordon & Co., L.P., Solus Alternative Asset Management LP and others for approximately CAD 5.5 billion on April 13, 2026. Pursuant to which GFL has agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of SECURE for CAD 24.75 per SECURE common share, representing an enterprise value of approximately CAD 6.4 billion (the "Transaction"). The purchase price of CAD 24.75 per SECURE common share represents a premium of 23% to the volume weighted average price of the common shares of SECURE for the 60 trading days ending April 10, 2026. Under the terms of the Transaction, SECURE common shareholders will receive, at their election, (i) CAD 24.75 in cash, (ii) 0.4195 of a GFL subordinate voting share or (iii) a combination of CAD 4.95 in cash and 0.3356 of a GFL subordinate voting share, for each SECURE common share held, subject to pro-ration, based on a maximum amount of GFL subordinate voting shares and maximum amount of cash as set out in the plan of arrangement, such that the aggregate consideration paid to SECURE common shareholders will consist of 80% GFL subordinate voting shares and 20% cash. GFL has obtained fully committed financing for the Transaction through a bridge facility which can be used, together with cash on hand and capacity under its revolving credit facility, to fund the cash component of the Transaction. SECURE has also granted GFL a right-to-match any superior proposal and will pay a termination fee of CAD 200 million to GFL if the Arrangement Agreement is terminated in certain circumstances. GFL has agreed to pay an expense reimbursement fee of up to CAD 20 million to SECURE if the Arrangement Agreement is terminated in certain circumstances. Following completion of the Transaction, it is expected that the SECURE common shares will be delisted from the TSX and SECURE will cease to be a reporting issuer under Canadian securities laws.
The Transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2026, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including court approval, regulatory approvals and approval by SECURE shareholders. The Transaction has been unanimously approved by the Board of Directors of both companies. Angelo, Gordon & Co. LP and Solus Alternative Asset Management LP, which collectively own approximately 20% of the issued and outstanding SECURE common shares, together with the directors and senior officers of SECURE who collectively own approximately 2% of the issued and outstanding SECURE common shares, have entered into customary voting and support agreements pursuant to which they have agreed to vote all of their SECURE common shares in favor of the Transaction at a special meeting of shareholders which is expected to be held in late May 2026. In connection with the Transaction, the SECURE Board established a special committee (the "Special Committee"), comprised entirely of independent directors, to, among other matters, review the terms of the Transaction and consider potential alternatives available to SECURE. The acquired assets coupled with SECURE's strong operating margins and lower maintenance capital intensity are expected to increase Adjusted EBITDA margin(1) to 31.6% and Adjusted Free Cash Flow conversion to between 40.5% and 42.5%. The transaction is also expected to be immediately accretive to Adjusted Free Cash Flow per share by 12% to 15%. Our significantly enhanced scale following the acquisition will allow us to materially increase our capital deployment capacity while maintaining our targeted year end Net Leverage in the low-to-mid 3s. Additionally, the transaction increases GFL's float weighted market capitalization.
Barclays is acting as financial advisor to GFL and Stikeman Elliott LLP is acting as legal counsel to GFL in connection with the Transaction. Moelis & Company LLC and RBC Capital Markets are acting as financial advisors to SECURE. McCarthy Tétrault LLP is acting as lead Canadian legal counsel to SECURE in connection with the Transaction, with Bennett Jones LLP acting as Canadian competition counsel to SECURE. RBC Capital Markets provided a verbal independent fairness opinion to the SECURE Board and ATB Cormark Capital Markets provided a verbal independent fairness opinion to the Special Committee.

New Risk • Dec 05
New minor risk - Insider selling There has been significant insider selling in the company's shares over the past 3 months. Total value of shares sold: CA$342k This is considered a minor risk. There are several reasons why an insider may be selling, including to cover a tax obligation or pay for some other expense. However, we generally consider it a negative if insiders have been selling, especially if they do so below the current price. It implies that they considered a lower price to be reasonable. This is a weak signal, but if there is a pattern of unexplained selling, it can be a sign the insider believes the company's stock is overpriced. Note: We only include open market transactions and private dispositions of directly owned stock by individuals, not by corporations or trusts. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 35% per year for the foreseeable future.
