BRP Announces Preliminary Results of Substantial Issuer Bid


VALCOURT, QC, July 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ - BRP Inc. (TSX: DOO) (NASDAQ: DOOO) today announced the preliminary results of its substantial issuer bid ("SIB"), pursuant to which BRP offered to purchase for cancellation a number of its subordinate voting shares ("Shares") for an aggregate purchase price not to exceed $350 million at a purchase price of not less than $94.00 and not more than $113.00 per Share. The SIB expired at 11:59 p.m. (Montreal time) Friday July 23, 2021. All dollar amounts are in Canadian dollars.

In accordance with the terms and conditions of the SIB and based on the preliminary calculation of Computershare Investor Services Inc. ("Computershare"), as depositary for the SIB, BRP expects to take up and pay for 3,381,642 Shares at a price of $103.50 per Share under the SIB, representing an aggregate purchase price of approximately $350 million and 4% of the total number of BRP's issued and outstanding Shares and multiple voting shares before giving effect to the SIB.

The full details of the SIB are described in the offer to purchase and issuer bid circular dated June 18, 2021, as well as the related letter of transmittal and notice of guaranteed delivery, copies of which were filed and are available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on EDGAR at www.sec.com.

2,938,973 Shares were validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to auction tenders at or below the purchase price and purchase price tenders. Since the SIB was oversubscribed, shareholders who made auction tenders at or below the purchase price and purchase price tenders will have the number of Shares purchased prorated following the determination of the final results of the SIB (other than "odd lot" tenders, which are not subject to proration). BRP currently expects that shareholders who made auction tenders at or below the purchase price and purchase price tenders will have approximately 83% of their successfully tendered Shares purchased by BRP. BRP expects to take up and purchase 936,692 Shares pursuant to proportionate tenders.

Holders of multiple voting shares were entitled to participate in the SIB. Multiple voting shares taken up by BRP will be converted into Shares on a one-for-one basis immediately prior to take up. Beaudier Inc. and 4338618 Canada Inc., which collectively hold approximately 27.7% of BRP's issued and outstanding Shares and multiple voting shares, made proportionate tenders in connection with the SIB and will maintain their proportionate equity ownership in BRP following completion of the SIB.

After giving effect to the SIB, BRP expects to have 37,716,787 Shares and 42,954,979 multiple voting shares issued and outstanding.

The number of Shares to be purchased, the proration factor and the purchase price referred to above are preliminary, remains subject to verification by Computershare and assume that all Shares tendered through notice of guaranteed delivery will be delivered within the two trading day settlement period. Upon take up and payment of the Shares purchased, BRP will release the final results, including the final proration factor.

This press release is for informational purposes only and does not constitute an offer to buy or the solicitation of an offer to sell BRP's shares.
