Although each of the Preferred Share Offers formally expires today at 10:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on December 27, 2019, Aimia understands that CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc.

Shareholders are urged to consult the formal offer to purchase and issuer bid circular together with the letter of transmittal and notice of guaranteed delivery (the "Offer Documents") for the terms and conditions of the Preferred Share Offers and instructions for tendering Preferred Shares. The Offer Documents were mailed to holders of Preferred Shares or their designated brokers and are also available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. Shareholders are urged to read the Offer Documents carefully and in their entirety, and to consult their own financial, tax, and legal advisors and to make their own decisions with respect to participation in the Preferred Share Offers. Neither Aimia nor its Board of Directors makes any recommendation to preferred shareholders as to whether to tender or refrain from tendering any or all of their Preferred Shares into the Preferred Share Offers.
