Mackenzie Investments and Canada Life Investment Management Ltd. Announce Proposed Fund Reorganizations

TORONTO, Nov. 12, 2021 /CNW/ - Mackenzie Financial Corporation ("Mackenzie Investments" or "Mackenzie") and Canada Life Investment Management Ltd. ("CLIML") today announced proposals to reorganize the funds outlined below (each, a "Reorganization") on a tax deferred basis, subject to regulatory approval and investor approval at special meetings to be held on January 11, 2022.

If approved, the Reorganizations will result in investors who hold Canada Life series units of the applicable Mackenzie mutual funds (the "Funds") to be transitioned to corresponding and substantially similar mutual funds managed by CLIML.

These Reorganizations follow a larger set of transactions which occurred on December 31, 2020 whereby Mackenzie transitioned its responsibilities as manager and trustee of the Canada Life Mutual Funds (formerly the Quadrus Group of Funds) and the Canada Life Pathways Funds to CLIML.

The proposed Reorganizations were not able to be initiated until the wind-up of Mackenzie's mutual fund corporation, Mackenzie Financial Capital Corp., which occurred on July 30, 2021.
