Dividend Reinvestment Plan
Questions and Answers
What is the Dividend Reinvestment Plan?
The Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the "Plan") is a plan which provides a means for registered holders of Common Shares and Class A Non-Voting Shares ("Class A Shares") of Canadian Tire to reinvest cash dividends on such shares in newly issued Class A Shares of Canadian Tire. Participants will continue to be liable for any income tax which may be payable on the amounts of dividends reinvested.
Who Can Participate?
All Canadian residents who are registered holders of Common Shares or Class A Shares of Canadian Tire may participate in the Plan. Shareholders whose shares are held in a name other than their own must either arrange for participation in that name or have their shares transferred to their own name. Shareholders resident in the United States and shareholders resident in other foreign countries are not eligible to participate in the Plan.
What is the Price of the Shares Purchased?
The price per share of the Class A Shares issued under the Plan is equal to the weighted average price at which the Class A Shares trade on The Toronto Stock Exchange on the five trading days on which such shares trade immediately following the dividend record date in question.
Participation
Any Canadian resident who is the holder of record of Eligible Shares may enroll in the Plan at any time by completing an Election Form and returning it to the Agent. Once a shareholder has enrolled in the Plan, participation continues automatically until terminated in accordance with the Plan.
An Election Form may be obtained at any time upon written request addressed to the Agent.
The Election Form directs the Corporation to forward to the Agent all of the Participants cash dividends on Eligible Shares and directs the Agent to invest these dividends for the Participant in additional Class A Shares purchased from the Corporation.
A shareholder becomes a participant in the Plan on the first dividend record date after the Agent receives the completed Election Form. After that date, all cash dividends paid on a Participant's Eligible Shares, as well as all cash dividends paid on Class A Shares held by the Agent under the Plan for the Participant, are invested in additional Class A Shares of the Corporation on each subsequent dividend payment date. Dividend payment dates are normally on the 1st day of March, June, September and December and the dividend record dates are normally about one month before the dividend payment dates.
Price of Class A Shares Purchased Under the Plan
The cash dividends referred to above will be invested in newly issued Class A Shares at a price equal to the weighted average price (the "Average Market Price") at which Class A Shares trade on The Toronto Stock Exchange on the five trading days on which Class A Shares trade immediately following a dividend record date.
Each Participant’s account will be credited with the number of Class A Shares purchased for the Participant, including any fraction of a Class A Share calculated to three decimal places, which is equal to the amount to be invested for each Participant divided by the Average Market Price.
There are no brokerage commissions or service fees payable by a Participant in connection with the purchase of shares under the Plan. All administrative costs of the Plan, including the fees and expenses of the Agent, are borne by the Corporation.
Reports to Participants
An account shall be maintained by the Agent for each Participant in the Plan. The Agent will mail a statement of account to each Participant as soon as practicable following each dividend payment date. These statements are a Participant's continuing record of purchases and should be retained for income tax purposes. In addition, each Participant will be sent annually the appropriate information for tax reporting purposes.
Certificates for Class A Shares
Class A Shares purchased under the Plan will be registered in the name of the Agent, as agent for Participants in the Plan, and certificates for such shares will not be issued to Participants unless specifically requested. The number of Class A Shares issued under the Plan will be credited to the accounts established for Participants and shown on their statements.
A Participant may, upon written request to the Agent, have a Class A Share certificate issued in the Participant's name for any number of whole shares held for the Participant's account under the Plan without terminating participation in the Plan. Normally a certificate will be sent to a Participant within three weeks of the Agent's receipt of a Participant's written request. Any remaining shares will continue to be held for the Participant's account under the Plan.
Shares held by the Agent for a Participant under the Plan may not be pledged, sold or otherwise disposed of by the Participant while held under the Plan.
When a Participant terminates participation in the Plan, the Participant will receive a certificate for the number of whole Class A Shares held for such Participant's account together with a cash payment for any fraction of a share held for such account which payment will be determined with reference to the latest Average Market Price of the Class A Shares prior to the effective date of termination. If notice of termination is received by the Agent between a dividend record date and the dividend payment date, the Participant's account will not be closed until after the dividend payment date.
Participation in the Plan will be terminated automatically upon receipt by the Agent of a written notice of the death of a Participant. A certificate for whole Class A Shares will be issued by the Agent in the name of the deceased Participant or in the name of the estate of the deceased Participant, as appropriate, and the Agent will send such certificate, together with the amount of any cash payment for any fraction of a share, determined as aforesaid, to the representative of the deceased Participant.
Amendment, Modification, Suspension or Termination of the Plan
The Corporation reserves the right to amend, modify, suspend or terminate the Plan or participation therein, in whole or in part, or in regard to any or all Participants, at any time, provided such action has no retroactive effect that would prejudice the interests of the Participants. All affected Participants will be sent written notice of any such amendment, modification, suspension or termination. In the event of termination of the Plan, certificates for whole Class A Shares held for the account of each affected Participant under the Plan and cash payments for any fraction of a share determined as aforesaid in the section entitled "Termination of Participation" will be remitted with due despatch by the Agent as directed by the Corporation to the affected Participants. In the event of suspension of the Plan by the Corporation, no investment will be made by the Agent on the dividend payment date immediately following the effective date of such suspension. Any dividends payable on Class A Shares which are subject to the Plan are paid after the effective date of such suspension will be remitted by the Corporation to the Participants.
Responsibilities of the Corporation and the Agent
Neither the Corporation nor the Agent shall be liable for any act or for any omission to act in connection with the operation of the Plan including, without limitation, any claims for liability:
(a) arising out of failure to terminate a Participant's account upon a Participant's death prior to receipt of notice in writing of such death, or
(b) with respect to the prices at which Class A Shares are purchased for the Participant's account and the times at which such purchases are made.
Participants should recognize that neither the Corporation nor the Agent can assure a profit or protect against a loss on the Class A Shares purchased under the Plan.
Notices
All communications with or notices required to be given under the Plan to a Participant will be sent to the address appearing on the list of Participants maintained by the Agent or to a more recent address as furnished to the Agent by the Participant. All communications with or notices required to be given to the Agent shall be addressed as follows:
