Intact Financial completes C$1.25 billion bought deal private placement of subscription receipts to finance a portion of the purchase price for RSA Insurance Group PLC

On December 3, 2020, Intact Financial Corporation (“Intact”) completed a private placement of subscription receipts with a group of underwriters, led by CIBC Capital Markets and Barclays Capital Canada Inc., pursuant to which Intact issued an aggregate of 9,272,000 subscription receipts at a price of C$134.50 per subscription receipt for gross proceeds of approximately C$1.25 billion. The subscription receipts were offered by way of private placement to accredited investors and other exempt purchasers.

Each subscription receipt will entitle the holder to receive one common share of Intact as well as a dividend equivalent payment upon closing of the acquisition provided that closing occurs prior to December 31, 2021.
