REGINA, Saskatchewan, July 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Information Services Corporation (TSX:ISC) (“ISC” or the “Company”) announced today the completion of the previously announced acquisition of ISC by a wholly-owned subsidiary of Plenary Americas LP (“Plenary Americas”) by way of a statutory plan of arrangement under The Business Corporations Act, 2021 (Saskatchewan) (the “Transaction”).  Pursuant to the Transaction, holders of ISC’s Class A Limited Voting Shares (the “Shares”) will receive cash consideration of CAD$51.00 per Share (other than certain members of ISC’s senior management who have entered into equity rollover agreements to retain an interest in ISC in respect of the Shares owned by them). The Transaction valued ISC at an approximate implied enterprise value of $1.2 billion.

The Shares are expected to be delisted from the Toronto Stock Exchange shortly after the date hereof. ISC intends to apply to cease to be a reporting issuer under applicable Canadian securities laws, subject to regulatory approval.

Additional details of the Transaction are set out in ISC’s management information circular dated May 27, 2026 available under ISC’s profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.
