Aimia Announces Amendments to Investment Policy

MONTREAL, April 2, 2020 /PRNewswire/ - Aimia Inc. (TSX: AIM) ("Aimia" or the "Company") today announced that its Board of Directors (the "Board"), as part of its ongoing review of the Company's strategy, operations and policies, has appointed an ad hoc Investment Committee comprised of members of the Board to oversee Aimia's significant cash and investments on hand. The Board also has broadened the Company's investment policy to permit Aimia to invest excess cash, recorded in the Company's financial statements as short-term investments, long-term investments and cash and cash equivalents, in a diversified portfolio of public company securities, fixed income securities and hybrid securities. This is in addition to existing permitted investments in investment grade commercial paper and corporate, federal and provincial government bonds, and bankers' acceptances or term deposits. 

The Board believes these amendments will afford it increased flexibility in managing the Company's cash and investments to provide a rewarding return to shareholders, while also providing greater diversification in its investment portfolio.
