Forward Looking Statements
In the course of today's meeting, representatives of the Corporation may make, in their remarks or in response to questions, and the accompanying materials may include, statements containing forward-looking information.
Such forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions and reflect the Corporation's current expectations, or with respect to disclosure regarding the Corporation's public subsidiaries, reflect such subsidiaries' current expectations as disclosed
in their respective MD&A. Forward-looking statements are provided for the purposes of assisting the listener/reader in understanding the Corporation's financial performance, financial position and cash flows as at and for the periods ended on certain
dates and to present information about management's current expectations and plans relating to the future and the listener/reader is cautioned that such statements may not be appropriate for other purposes. These statements may include, without
limitation, statements regarding the operations, business, financial condition, expected financial results, performance, prospects, opportunities, priorities, targets, goals, ongoing objectives, strategies and outlook of the Corporation and its subsidiaries
including the fintech strategy, the outlook for North American and international economies for the current fiscal year and subsequent periods, the Corporation's NCIB commenced in 2023, statements concerning deferred taxes, statements concerning the
expected impacts of IFRS 17, management of standalone businesses to realize value over time, target IRR of investment platforms, fundraising activities by investment platforms, capital commitments by the Power group and third parties, the objective to
maintain a minimum level of cash and cash equivalents relative to fixed charges, statements on the slide entitled "Opportunities for further value creation", and the Corporation's subsidiaries' disclosed expectations, including in respect of the proposed
acquisition of IPC by Canada Life from IGM (including the impacts and timing thereof), the impacts of the recent acquisition of Value Partners, the completion of the sale of Putnam to Franklin Templeton (including the impacts and timing thereof), the
impacts of the Irish Life portfolio transfer, the proposed sale of Canada Life U.K.'s individual onshore protection business, as well as expectations as a result of the acquisition of Prudential full-service retirement business (including the impacts and timing
thereof). Forward-looking statements include statements that are predictive in nature, depend upon or refer to future events or conditions, or include words such as "expects", "anticipates", "plans", "believes", "estimates", "seeks", "intends", "targets", "projects",
"forecasts" or negative versions thereof and other similar expressions, or future or conditional verbs such as "may", "will", "should", "would" and "could".
By its nature, this information is subject to inherent risks and uncertainties that may be general or specific and which give rise to the possibility that expectations, forecasts, predictions, projections or conclusions will not prove to be accurate, that
assumptions may not be correct and that objectives, strategic goals and priorities will not be achieved. A variety of factors, many of which are beyond the Corporation's and its subsidiaries' control, affect the operations, performance and results of the
Corporation and its subsidiaries and their businesses, and could cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations of estimated or anticipated events or results. These factors include, but are not limited to: the impact or unanticipated
impact of general economic, political and market factors in North America and internationally, fluctuations in interest rates, inflation and foreign exchange rates, monetary policies, business investment and the health of local and global equity and capital
markets, management of market liquidity and funding risks, risks related to investments in private companies and illiquid securities, risks associated with financial instruments, changes in accounting policies and methods used to report financial
condition (including uncertainties associated with significant judgments, estimates and assumptions), the effect of applying future accounting changes, business competition, operational and reputational risks, technological changes, cybersecurity risks,
changes in government regulation and legislation, changes in tax laws, unexpected judicial or regulatory proceedings, catastrophic events, man-made disasters, terrorist attacks, wars and other conflicts, or an outbreak of a public health pandemic or other
public health crises (such as COVID-19), the Corporation's and its subsidiaries' ability to complete strategic transactions, integrate acquisitions and implement other growth strategies, the Corporation's and its subsidiaries' success in anticipating and
managing the foregoing factors, and with respect to forward-looking statements of the Corporation's subsidiaries disclosed in this presentation, the factors identified by such subsidiaries in their respective MD&A.
The listener/reader is cautioned to consider these and other factors, uncertainties and potential events carefully and not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Information contained in forward-looking statements is based upon certain
material assumptions that were applied in drawing a conclusion or making a forecast or projection, including management's perceptions of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, that any required approvals (including
regulatory approvals) for strategic transactions, acquisitions, divestitures or other growth or optimization strategies will be received when and on such terms as are expected, as well as other considerations that are believed to be appropriate in the
circumstances, including the availability of cash to complete purchases under the NCIB, that the list of risks and uncertainties in the previous paragraph, collectively, are not expected to have a material impact on the Corporation and its subsidiaries, and
with respect to forward-looking statements of the Corporation's subsidiaries disclosed in this presentation, the risks identified by such subsidiaries in their respective MD&A and Annual Information Form most recently filed with the securities regulatory
authorities in Canada and available at www.sedarplus.com. While the Corporation considers these assumptions to be reasonable based on information currently available to management, they may prove to be incorrect.
Other than as specifically required by applicable Canadian law, the Corporation undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made, or to reflect the
occurrence of unanticipated events, whether as a result of new information, future events or results, or otherwise.
Additional information about the risks and uncertainties of the Corporation's business and material factors or assumptions on which information contained in forward-looking statements is based is provided in its disclosure materials, including in its most
recent interim MD&A and its most recent Annual Information Form, filed with the securities regulatory authorities in Canada and available at www.sedarplus.com.
Disclosures Concerning Public Investees
Information in this presentation and any accompanying oral statements, including in response to questions, (i) concerning Great-West and IGM, as applicable, has been derived from Great-West's and IGM's most recent interim MD&A, as prepared and
disclosed by the respective companies in accordance with applicable securities legislation, and which is also available either directly from SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.com) or directly from their websites, www.greatwestlifeco.com and www.igmfinancial.com;
and (ii) concerning GBL has been derived from publicly disclosed information, as issued by GBL, including in its third quarter press release and its half-year report at June 30, 2023. Further information on GBL's results is available on its website at
www.gbl.com. For definitions and reconciliations of non-IFRS financial measures, refer to the "Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Ratios" section and specifically the sub-sections entitled "Base earnings (loss)", "Non-GAAP Ratios" and "Assets under
management (AUM) and assets under administration (AUA)" of Great-West's and "Non-IFRS Financial Measures and Other Financial Measures" section and specifically "Table 1: Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Financial Measures" of IGM's most recent interim
MD&A, which are each included in Parts B and C, respectively, of the Corporation's most recent interim MD&A located under the Corporation's profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.com, which sections, definitions, and reconciliations are incorporated
herein by reference.
On a quarterly basis, GBL reports its net asset value as it represents an important criterion used in assessing its performance. GBL's net asset value represents the fair value of its investment portfolio, its gross cash and treasury shares, less its gross debt. GBL's
investments held in listed entities and treasury shares are measured at their market value, investments in private entities are measured using the recommendations of the International Private Equity and Venture Capital Valuation Guidelines, and recent
investments are valued at their acquisition cost, which represents GBL management's best estimate. GBL Capital's portfolio of investments is measured by adding all investments at fair value provided by the fund managers with GBL Capital's net cash, less
its net debt. Sienna Investment Managers' assets are valued at the acquisition cost of the management companies, less, where applicable, impairments. For more information on GBL's net asset value and valuation principles, refer to its website
(www.gbl.com).
