Mackenzie Investments and Canada Life Investment Management Ltd. Announce Special Meeting Results for Proposed Fund Reorganizations

TORONTO, Jan. 11, 2022 /CNW/ - Mackenzie Financial Corporation ("Mackenzie Investments" or "Mackenzie") and Canada Life Investment Management Ltd. ("CLIML") announced that investors approved the proposed reorganizations (each, a "Reorganization") outlined below, at special meetings held earlier today.

As a result of the Reorganizations, investors who hold Canada Life series of each Mackenzie Fund indicated below will be transitioned to a corresponding and substantially similar mutual fund managed by CLIML.

The 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. Further, the Reorganizations were not able to be initiated until a number of tax deferred mergers transitioned Canada Life Series investors to the Funds in July 2021. 

Mackenzie Fund	Canada Life Fund	Reorganization Date
Mackenzie Global Growth Fund	Canada Life Global Growth Opportunities Fund	January 28, 2022
Mackenzie US Small-Mid Cap Growth Fund	Canada Life U.S. Small-Mid Cap Growth Fund	January 28, 2022
Mackenzie Emerging Markets Fund II	Canada Life Emerging Markets Equity Fund	January 28, 2022
Mackenzie Ivy European Fund	Canada Life European Equity Fund	March 11, 2022
Mackenzie Precious Metals Fund	Canada Life Precious Metals Fund	March 11, 2022

The changes outlined above will have no impact on Mackenzie series investors.

For more information on the Reorganizations, please refer to the management information circular dated December 2, 2021, which is available on the Mackenzie and Canada Life websites and at www.sedar.com.
