Dominion Lending Centres Clearlease Reports CI Financial (TSX:CI) shareholders formally renew poison pill plan opposed by Scotiabank

VANCOUVER, BC (June 1, 2011) Dominion Lending Centres Clearlease Reports Shareholders of CI Financial Corp. have formally renewed a poison-pill plan opposed by major shareholder Scotiabank.

The shareholder rights plan will now stay in place until 2014 after being renewed at a meeting at CI Financial’s offices Wednesday.

It’s the latest victory for mutual fund company CI (TSX:CI) in its battle against Scotiabank, which owns about a third of the company.

Last week, the Ontario Securities Commission ruled in CI’s favour, preventing Scotiabank from casting votes at the meeting.

CI Financial had been worried that Scotiabank would vote to get rid of provisions that prevent a “creeping takeover,” where someone would take control of the company by gradually buying additional shares.

The bank had originally voted in favour of the poison-pill plan when it was first adopted but later said it wanted a plan that was less restrictive.

CI announced last week that it already had enough advance votes in favour of renewing the plan — guaranteeing that it would pass at a meeting Wednesday.
