On July 26, 2023, illumin Holdings Inc. (the “Corporation”) shared a press release announcing its launch of a substantial issuer bid (“SIB”) and intention to delist from The Nasdaq Stock Market. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Schedule TO.
The communication is for informational purposes only and is not intended to and does not constitute an offer to purchase nor a solicitation of an offer to sell the Corporation’s common shares. The SIB has not yet commenced. On the commencement date of the SIB, a tender offer statement on Schedule TO, including an offer to purchase, a letter of transmittal and related documents, will be filed by the Corporation with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The solicitation and the offer to purchase the common shares will only be made pursuant to the offer to purchase, the letter of transmittal and related documents filed with such Schedule TO. SHAREHOLDERS ARE URGED TO READ THE TENDER OFFER STATEMENT REGARDING THE OFFER, AS IT MAY BE AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME, WHEN IT BECOMES AVAILABLE BECAUSE IT WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION. Shareholders may obtain a free copy of the tender offer statement and related documents filed with the SEC (in each case, when available) at the website maintained by the SEC at www.sec.gov or by requesting those materials from the depositary for the SIB, which will be named in the tender offer statement. Shareholders are urged to read those materials carefully prior to making any decisions with respect to the tender offer.
