  • Information Services' board of directors unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favour of the transaction.
  • Information Services shareholders are encouraged to review the meeting materials carefully and submit their votes well in advance of the proxy voting deadline of Wednesday, June 24, 2026, at 9 a.m. (Saskatchewan time/CST).

Under the terms of the arrangement agreement, Information Services will be taken private and Information Services shareholders (other than rollover shareholders (as defined below) in respect of their rollover shares (as defined in the circular)) will receive $51.00 per Class A limited voting share, representing an enterprise value of $1.2-billion. The transaction will be implemented by way of a plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act, 2021 (Saskatchewan).

The circular and other related meeting materials, along with Information Services' annual report for 2025, are also available on SEDAR+ and Information Services' investor relations website.

Board recommendation

The board of directors of Information Services appointed a special committee of independent directors to consider the transaction. Having considered such factors as it determined relevant, including the fairness opinions and receipt of the unanimous recommendation of the special committee, the board unanimously determined (with government of Saskatchewan appointees recusing) that the transaction is in the best interests of Information Services and fair to shareholders (other than Crown Investments Corp. of Saskatchewan (CIC) and certain members of Information Services' senior management who have entered into equity rollover agreements to retain an interest in Information Services following closing of the transaction) and recommends that shareholders vote in favour of the transaction by voting in favour.

Receipt of the interim order

On May 26, 2026, the company was granted an interim order from the Court of King's Bench of Saskatchewan providing for the calling and holding of the meeting and certain other matters related to the meeting and the transaction. A copy of the interim order is included in the circular.

Subject to obtaining the required approval of shareholders and the final order and to the satisfaction or waiver of the other conditions to the transaction as set out in the arrangement agreement, the transaction is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2026.

About the meeting and circular

ISC will hold the meeting on June 26, 2026, at 9 a.m. (Saskatchewan time/CT) to seek shareholder approval of the transaction, the details of which are set forth in the circular. The meeting will be held in person at The Hotel Saskatchewan, Regency Ballroom, 2125 Victoria Ave., Regina, Sask., S4P 0S3.

As set out in the circular, at the meeting, shareholders will be asked to consider, and if deemed advisable, pass a special resolution approving the transaction. The circular contains important information for shareholders, who are encouraged to review all meeting materials carefully.

In order to become effective, the transaction must be approved by: (a) at least 66.66 per cent of the votes cast by shareholders present in person or represented by proxy; (b) a simple majority of the votes cast by shareholders present in person or represented by proxy after excluding the votes cast by CIC and the rollover shareholders; and (c) CIC, as the sole holder of the Class B Golden share.

Voting instructions for shareholders

Shareholders are encouraged to vote as early as possible, as every vote is important. Only shareholders of record at the close of business on May 27, 2026, will be eligible to vote.

Registered shareholders will receive a copy of the circular, accompanied by a form of proxy from TSX Trust Company. Non-registered (beneficial) shareholders will receive a copy of the circular, accompanied by a voting instruction form (VIF) distributed by their intermediary (that is, broker, investment dealer, bank).

Shareholders may attend the meeting in person to vote their shares or they can vote their shares prior to the meeting in accordance with the applicable instructions that are provided. The deadline for shareholders to vote in advance of the meeting is 9 a.m. (Saskatchewan time/CST) on Wednesday, June 24, 2026. Shareholders holding shares through an intermediary may have an earlier deadline by which the intermediary must receive voting instructions.
