\n TORONTO<\/span>
\n <\/span>, Feb. 19, 2025<\/span><\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ – Manulife Financial Corporation (“Manulife”) announced today that it intends to launch a Normal Course Issuer Bid (“NCIB”) permitting the purchase for cancellation of up to 51.5\u00a0million of its common shares, representing approximately 3%\u00a0of Manulife’s issued and outstanding common shares. As at February 12, 2025<\/span>, Manulife had 1,723,281,035\u00a0common shares issued and outstanding.\u00a0 Manulife has received approval for the NCIB from the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions Canada and from the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”).<\/p>\n

\n

\n \"Manulife
\n <\/a>\n <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Under the NCIB, Manulife may purchase up to 1,420,093 of its common shares on the TSX during any trading day, which represents 25% of the average daily trading volume of 5,680,374 common shares on the TSX for the six months ended January 31, 2025<\/span>, subject to TSX rules permitting block purchases. Purchases under the NCIB may commence through the TSX on February 24, 2025<\/span> and continue until February 23,\u00a02026, when the NCIB expires, or such earlier date as Manulife completes its purchases.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Having a NCIB in place will provide Manulife with the flexibility to purchase common shares as part of its capital management strategy which is designed to maintain healthy regulatory capital ratios while balancing the objective of generating shareholder value.<\/p>\n

Purchases under the NCIB may be made through the facilities of the TSX, the New York Stock Exchange, and alternative trading systems in Canada<\/span> and the United States<\/span> at market prices prevailing at the time of purchase or such other price as may be permitted. All common shares acquired by Manulife under the NCIB will be cancelled. Repurchases will be subject to compliance with applicable Canadian securities laws and United States<\/span> federal securities laws.<\/p>\n

In addition, Manulife may undertake repurchases of its common shares outside of Canada<\/span> and the United States<\/span> in compliance with applicable laws. Subject to regulatory approval, Manulife may also acquire common shares directly from other holders by way of private agreement pursuant to issuer bid exemption orders issued by applicable securities regulatory authorities. Any private purchase made under an exemption order issued by a securities regulatory authority will generally be at a discount to the prevailing market price. Manulife may also enter into derivative-based programs in support of its repurchase activities, including the writing of put options and forward purchase agreements, accelerated share repurchase transactions, other equity contracts or use other methods of acquiring shares, in each case subject to regulatory approval and on such terms and at such times as shall be permitted by applicable securities laws. The total number of common shares repurchased under the NCIB and all other potential arrangements will not exceed 51.5 million common shares.<\/p>\n

Subject to regulatory approval, Manulife intends from time to time to enter into pre-defined plans with a registered investment dealer to allow for the repurchase of common shares at times when Manulife ordinarily would not be active in the market due to its own internal trading blackout periods, insider trading rules or otherwise. Any such plans will be adopted in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws and United States<\/span> federal securities laws.<\/p>\n

Manulife’s most recent normal course issuer bid, as subsequently amended (the “2024 NCIB”) commenced on February 23, 2024<\/span>, for the purchase of up to 90 million common shares, and will expire on February 22<\/span>, 2025.\u00a0 Manulife has repurchased 88,466,133 common shares for cancellation during the period from the commencement of its 2024 NCIB to January 31, 2025<\/span>, at a volume weighted average repurchase price per common share of $39.11<\/span>. All repurchases were made through the facilities of the TSX.<\/p>\n

This document contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the “safe harbour” provisions of Canadian provincial securities laws and the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 with respect to possible future purchases by Manulife of its common shares.
