Shareholders' Information

Equitable Group Inc. Dividend Reinvestment Plan

Our Dividend Reinvestment Plan offers eligible Shareholders the opportunity to reinvest Dividends to purchase additional Common Shares directly from the Company at the Average Market Price on the applicable Dividend Payment Date. 

Under the Plan, we will pay Computershare Trust Company of Canada (Plan Agent), on or before each Dividend Payment Date, all Dividends in respect to Common Shares registered in the name of the Participants enrolled in the Plan.  These Dividends will be applied by the Plan Agent, of behalf of the Participants to purchase, from treasury,  the equivalent number of Common Shares. The share purchase will be equal to the aggregate amount of the Dividends divided by the Average Market Price for the corresponding pricing period. 

Beneficial shareholders who hold EGI Common Shares in an account with a broker, financial institution or other intermediary, should consult their intermediary if they wish to participate in the Plan. There are no brokerage or administrative fees charged by EGI or Computershare Trust Company of Canada.

For Participants resident in Canada, dividends reinvested are taxable in the same manner as cash dividends and as such currently benefit from the dividend tax credit. Shareholders should consult their tax advisers about the tax consequences which will result from their participation in the Plan.   At present, only Canadian residents can participate in the Dividend Reinvestment Plan.

Important notice: Please submit your completed enrollment form no later than five days preceding the Dividend Record date to The Computershare Trust Company of Canada.
