Letko Brosseau Intends to Vote AGAINST Proposal to Take Dorel Industries Private

MONTREAL, Feb. 2, 2021 /CNW Telbec/ - Letko, Brosseau & Associates Inc., an independent investment manager that exercises investment control or direction over approximately 12.2% of the outstanding class B subordinate shares of Dorel Industries Inc. ("Dorel" or the "Company"), today reaffirmed its intention to vote AGAINST the proposed going private transaction of Dorel by Cerberus Capital Management, L.P. ("Cerberus") and the controlling shareholders of the Company (Martin Schwartz, Jeffrey Schwartz, Alan Schwartz and Jeff Segel or the "Family Shareholders"). The Family Shareholders, through their ownership of Dorel Class A and Class B shares, control approximately 20.3% of Dorel's outstanding shares on an economic basis and 60.8% on a voting basis.

We believe that the revised offer of C$16.00 per share by Cerberus and the Family Shareholders is opportunistic and continues to significantly undervalue the Company. We have highlighted the reasons of our opposition in our previous press releases.

We would also like to bring Dorel shareholders' attention to the report issued by Glass Lewis, an independent provider of global governance services, which recommends voting AGAINST the initial offer to take the company private.

We have been long time shareholders of Dorel. To protect the value of our investment, we intend to vote against the proposed going private transaction. We strongly believe in the long-term potential of the Company and note that the Family Shareholders share our optimism as they plan to remain shareholders of the Company.
