GUARDIAN CAPITAL GROUP LIMITED RENEWS NORMAL COURSE ISSUER BID

Guardian Capital Group Ltd. has received approval from the Toronto Stock Exchange for its normal course issuer bid, pursuant to which it intends to purchase, during the period from Dec. 19, 2022, to Dec. 18, 2023, up to 137,468, or 5 per cent, of its outstanding common shares, entitled to one vote per share, and up to 1,623,612, or 10 per cent, of its public float of non-voting Class A shares, as at Dec. 5, 2022. Shares may also be purchased by the trustee (the "Trustee") for Guardian's employee profit sharing plan, which purchases will count against the maximum numbers of shares which may be purchased by Guardian. In each case, these shares will be purchased at market prices, on the TSX, other designated exchanges and/or alternative Canadian trading systems. All shares purchased by Guardian (but not those purchased by the Trustee) will be cancelled. Guardian intends to purchase the shares because it believes that, from time to time, the shares may become undervalued at prevailing market prices, based on Guardian's earnings and prospects and accordingly, Guardian is of the opinion that the purchase of shares for cancellation is an appropriate use of corporate funds to increase shareholder value.

Pursuant to its most recent Normal Course Issuer Bid, under which Guardian sought and received approval from the TSX to purchase up to 137,469 Common Shares and 1,706,357 Class A Shares for the period from November 23, 2021 to November 22, 2022, Guardian and the Trustee purchased, 0 Common Shares and 872,743 Class A Shares at an average purchase price of $33.68 per Class A Share. These shares were purchased on the TSX and alternative Canadian trading systems.

As of December 5, 2022, there were 2,749,379 Common Shares and 23,497,207 Class A Shares issued and outstanding and the public float of the Class A Shares was 16,236,126 shares. The average daily trading volume for Guardian's shares on the TSX during the period from June 1, 2022 to November 30, 2022, excluding purchases made by Guardian under its Normal Course Issuer Bid and by the Trustee during the same period, was as follows: 406 Common Shares; and 5,725 Class A Shares. Except as otherwise permitted by the TSX, daily purchases under the bid will be limited to 1,000 Common Shares and 1,431 Class A Shares, other than block purchase exceptions.
