REMI MARCOUX NAMES "FOUNDER EMERITUS" OF TC TRANSCONTINENTAL

Remi Marcoux, founder of Transcontinental Inc. and member of the board, has not sought re-election as a director. Mr. Marcoux's term will end on March 13, at the annual shareholders meeting. In recognition of his entrepreneurial career and his significant contribution to the vision, growth and development of the company in keeping with its values, the board has named Mr. Marcoux founder emeritus.

Mr. Marcoux, founder of TC Transcontinental, said: "I built this great company, which I founded in 1976, with a long-term vision and a desire for continuity, and my wishes have come true. I am a fulfilled and content man as I look to TC Transcontinental's future, and I thank all our shareholders, customers, suppliers and employees for their unwavering support over the years. At the age of 83, I intend to take it easy a bit, and I have full confidence in my daughter Isabelle, who succeeded me as chair of the board in 2012, in Thomas Morin, president and chief executive officer, as well as our talented board members, executives and employees."

"My dear Remi, it will be a very special moment for us on March 13 when you step away from the boardroom table," said Isabelle Marcoux, executive chair of the board of Transcontinental. "We will continue to honour you, because we have learned from the best. You are one of the great entrepreneurs of Quebec Inc. who knew how to look far ahead, a remarkable mentor who guided me and many generations of business people, and finally an extraordinary philanthropist, notably with HEC Montreal, Centraide of Greater Montreal and the Montreal Heart Institute. Transcontinental's board of directors is proud to have named you founder emeritus for the outstanding man you are and for your exceptional career as a whole."

Mr. Marcoux is a member of the Order of Canada and an officer of the National Order of Quebec.
