ALIMENTATION COUCHE-TARD INC. ANNOUNCES ELECTION OF DIRECTORS AND APPROVAL OF SPECIAL RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE AMENDMENT TO ITS ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION

LAVAL, QC, Aug. 31, 2022 /CNW Telbec/ - Alimentation Couche-Tard Inc. ("Couche‑Tard" or the "Corporation") (TSX: ATD) held its Annual General and Special Meeting of Shareholders today announcing that all the candidates proposed as Directors in its Management Proxy Circular dated July 5, 2022, were elected and that a special resolution was adopted authorizing the Corporation to amend its articles of incorporation, in accordance with the approval by a requisite majority of the votes cast by the shareholders attending or represented by proxy at the meeting.

At present, Couche-Tard has one class of listed shares: Class A Multiple Voting Shares (the "Class A Shares"), which carry 10 votes per share. The special resolution authorizing the Corporation to amend its articles of incorporation will notably: (i) create a new class of shares, namely an unlimited number of common shares (the "Common Shares"), which will carry one vote per share; (ii) convert each of the issued and outstanding Class A Shares into one Common Share; and (iii) after giving effect to the aforesaid conversion, repeal the Class A Shares and the Class B Subordinate Voting Shares of the Corporation as well as the rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching thereto (collectively, the "Conversion Event").

The Conversion Event is expected to become effective on September 1, 2022. All Class A Shares of the Corporation are expected to be delisted from the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") before markets open on September 6, 2022, and the Common Shares are expected to trade on the TSX at the opening of business on September 6, 2022, under the current symbol "ATD".

As a consequence of the upcoming Conversion Event, Couche-Tard intends to modify the terms of its normal course issuer bid ("NCIB") on the TSX to purchase for cancellation a maximum of 79,703,614 Common Shares rather than Class A Shares. As at August 30, 2022, Couche-Tard had repurchased for cancellation 10,940,400 Class A Shares under its NCIB for US$477,952,304 at a weighted average price of US$43.69 per share. Following the Conversion Event, under its modified NCIB, Couche-Tard will therefore be authorized to repurchase for cancellation up to 68,763,214 Common Shares from September 6, 2022 to April 25, 2023. The terms of the Corporation's NCIB shall otherwise remain unchanged.

In addition, all equity incentive plans of the Corporation will cover Common Shares of the Corporation as of the Conversion Event date.
