CGI Releases 2024 Annual Disclosure Documents Ahead of Shareholder Meeting

On December 18, 2024, CGI Inc. (TSX: GIB.A, NYSE: GIB) publicly announced that it has filed its crucial Management Proxy Circular with securities regulators both in Canada and the United States. This filing is a part of the preparations for its Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (AGM), scheduled to be held virtually on January 29, 2025. The transparency involved in this process exemplifies CGI's commitment to maintaining stakeholder engagement and meticulous compliance with regulatory requirements.

Additionally, CGI has submitted its 2024 Annual Information Form, which is critical for organizational transparency, aligned with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission regulations as it forms a component of its Annual Report on Form 40-F. Alongside this document, CGI has included the previously filed Fiscal 2024 Results, providing shareholders and interested stakeholders comprehensive insight into the company’s financial health and operational performance.

All electronic copies of CGI's annual filings, which encompass the Management Proxy Circular, the Annual Information Form, and the Annual Report on Form 40-F, are readily accessible on their official website at cgi.com/investors. This initiative reflects CGI’s proactive approach to investor relations, emphasizing ease of access and timely communication with shareholders.

Notice and Access Initiative

To mitigate environmental impact by reducing unnecessary paper consumption, CGI is employing the Notice and Access rules established by Canadian securities regulators. Through this process, the Management Proxy Circular and related materials are available electronically, streamlining the distribution method ahead of the major meeting. The decision to utilize electronic resources not only supports environmental sustainability but also ensures that shareholders can easily find important documents in a simplified manner.

Relevant materials are also accessible via the Canadian Securities Administrators' website, enhancing transparency across the board. However, it’s important to note that CGI has ensured the distribution of physical meeting materials to registered shareholders and beneficial owners before the upcoming AGM.

Despite a recent national postal strike only having recently concluded, which might cause potential delays, stakeholders are encouraged to access electronic materials, which are available online. This ensures they remain informed even if there are issues with mail delivery.

Registered shareholders and non-objecting beneficial owners may request paper copies of the essential meeting materials should they prefer them over electronic versions. By reaching out to Computershare Investor Services Inc., they can conveniently acquire physical copies by calling the specified toll-free number. Likewise, objecting beneficial owners have a mechanism in place to obtain their necessary documents through Broadridge Investor Communications Corporation.

To guarantee the timely arrival of materials ahead of the voting deadline and the AGM date, all requests for paper documents must be submitted no later than January 15, 2025. This timely request period is crucial for ensuring that all shareholders can participate fully in the upcoming meeting.
