Info Services garners ISS, Glass support for deal

Mr. Jonathan Hackshaw reports

LEADING INDEPENDENT PROXY ADVISORY FIRMS RECOMMEND THAT ISC SHAREHOLDERS VOTE FOR THE ALL-CASH TRANSACTION WITH PLENARY AMERICAS

Leading independent proxy advisory firms Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. (ISS) and Glass Lewis & Co. have issued positive voting recommendations to shareholders of Information Services Corp. in connection with the previously announced arrangement agreement with a subsidiary of Plenary Americas.

ISS and Glass Lewis provide research, analysis and voting recommendations to institutional investors, including pension funds, asset managers and mutual funds. Both recommend that shareholders vote in favour of the transaction at the coming special meeting of shareholders to be held on June 26, 2026, at 9 a.m. Saskatchewan time/Central Standard Time. The deadline for shareholders to vote in advance of the meeting is 9 a.m. Saskatchewan time/CST on Wednesday, June 24, 2026. The recommendations from ISS and Glass Lewis are consistent with the unanimous recommendation of Information Services' board of directors (with government of Saskatchewan appointees recusing) that shareholders vote in favour of the transaction.

The transaction, announced on May 19, 2026, provides for the acquisition of Information Services at a cash price of $51 per Class A limited voting share (other than those shares held by 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 in respect of the shares owned by them), representing a 55-per-cent premium to Information Services' unaffected trading price and valuing the company at approximately $1.2-billion.

Transaction rationale:

  • Compelling value and immediate liquidity to shareholders;
  • Robust strategic review process;
  • Strong shareholder support;
  • Maintains Information Services as a strong, independent Saskatchewan company;
  • Continuity of leadership;
  • Supportive fairness opinions;
  • Ability to respond to superior proposal;
  • Committed financing.

The management information circular and other related meeting materials are available on SEDAR+ and Information Services' investor relations website.

Shareholder meeting and voting instructions

The meeting will be held in person on Friday, June 26, 2026, at 9 a.m. Saskatchewan time/CST at the Hotel Saskatchewan, Regency Ballroom, 2125 Victoria Ave., Regina, Sask., S4P 0S3. 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 in the management information circular.

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. 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.

Shareholders who cannot attend the meeting in person can listen to the meeting on-line by going to Information Services' website.
