MONTRÉAL, Jan. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - CGI (TSX:GIB) (NYSE:GIB) announced today that its Board of Directors has authorized the renewal of its Normal Course Issuer Bid ("NCIB"), subject to approval by the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX").

CGI's management and Board of Directors believe that the purchase for cancellation of the Company's Class A subordinate voting shares ("Class A Shares") is a proper use of funds, and the NCIB will provide the flexibility to purchase Class A Shares from time to time as the Company considers it advisable, as part of its efforts to increase shareholder value.

At the close of business on January 23, 2026, there were 190,635,136 Class A Shares outstanding, of which approximately 99.54% were widely held (representing a public float of 189,753,602 Class A Shares as calculated in accordance with the rules of the TSX).

Under the terms of the NCIB, subject to TSX approval, the Company may purchase for cancellation on the open market through the facilities of the TSX and the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") and through alternative trading systems in Canada, as well as outside the facilities of the TSX pursuant to exemption orders issued by securities regulators or other statutory exemptions, up to 18,975,360 Class A Shares, representing approximately 10% of the Company's public float as of the close of business on January 23, 2026. The average daily trading volume of the Class A Shares on the TSX for the six-month period ended December 31, 2025 was 460,867 Class A Shares (the "ADTV"). Consequently, and in accordance with the requirements of the TSX, the daily purchase limit under the NCIB on the TSX will be 115,216 Class A Shares, representing 25% of the ADTV. All Class A Shares will be purchased at their market price at the time of acquisition, except for purchases effected outside the facilities of the TSX pursuant to exemption orders issued by securities regulators or other statutory exemptions which will be at a discount to the market price as provided in such exemption orders or in such statutes. All Class A Shares purchased under the NCIB will be cancelled.

Repurchases of Class A Shares under the renewed NCIB may commence on February 6, 2026 and will end on the earlier of February 5, 2027 or the date on which the Company has either acquired the maximum number of Class A Shares allowable under the NCIB or otherwise decided not to make any further purchases for cancellation under it.

Under its current NCIB that commenced on February 6, 2025 and will end on February 5, 2026, the Company received the approval of the TSX to purchase for cancellation up to 20,196,413 Class A Shares. As at January 23, 2026, CGI has repurchased 12,945,271 Class A Shares by means of open market transactions, through the facilities of the TSX, NYSE and through alternative trading systems in Canada, at a weighted average price of $133.10 per Class A Share, for a total consideration of $1,722,951,291.23.

CGI has implemented an automatic share purchase plan with its designated broker in connection with the NCIB in order to allow, if deemed advisable by the Company, for share purchases for cancellation during self-imposed blackout periods.
