MONTREAL, May 14, 2021 /CNW Telbec/ - Letko, Brosseau & Associates Inc., an independent investment manager that exercises investment control or direction over approximately 12.4% of the shares of Transat A.T. Inc. ("Transat" or the "Company"), provides the following comments about the Company.
Letko Brosseau has been a shareholder of the Company for many years. Our firm has a long-term investment horizon and views the current challenges the Company faces as temporary. The Company has successfully completed a $700 million financing with the Government of Canada which is expected to provide the resources to deal with the business interruption experienced due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, as Canada completes its national vaccination program against COVID-19, travel will resume.
We are confident that the Company's strong franchise and capable management team will successfully navigate the Company through this crisis.
We therefore remain committed to Transat and will continue to remain a shareholder.
