CANACCORD GENUITY GROUP INC. DISCLOSES NORMAL COURSE ISSUER BID

Canaccord Genuity Group Inc. has filed a normal course issuer bid (NCIB) to purchase common shares of the company through the facilities of the Toronto Stock Exchange and on alternative Canadian trading systems in accordance with the requirements of the TSX. The company has filed a notice for a normal course issuer bid to provide the choice of purchasing up to a maximum of 4,985,290 of its common shares through the facilities of the TSX or alternative Canadian trading systems. The purpose of the purchase of common shares under the normal course issuer bid is to enable the company to acquire shares for cancellation, and any shares acquired will be cancelled. The shares that may be repurchased represent 5 per cent of the company's outstanding common shares. As of Aug. 7, 2023, there were 99,705,818 common shares of the company issued and outstanding. As of the date hereof, the company has not purchased any common shares under the normal course issuer bid approved by the TSX for the period from Aug. 21, 2022, to Aug. 20, 2023.

The company has also entered into a predefined plan with a designated broker to allow for the repurchase of its common shares under this normal course issuer bid. The company's broker may repurchase the common shares under the plan on any trading day during the normal course issuer bid, including during the company's internal trading blackout periods. The plan has been reviewed by the TSX and will terminate on the earlier of the termination of the plan by the company in accordance with its terms and the expiry of the bid.

Purchases under the normal course issuer bid are at the discretion of the company and are expected to be able to commence on Aug. 21, 2023, and can continue for one year (to Aug. 20, 2024). The maximum consideration will be the market price of the securities at the time of acquisition. Subject to the once-per-calendar-week block purchase exemption, the daily purchases are limited to 84,555 common shares of the company (which is 25 per cent of the average daily trading volume (ADTV) of common shares of the company on the TSX in the six calendar months from February, 2023, to July, 2023, of 338,223 common shares).
