The offer represents a steep discount of approximately 25% compared to the closing prices of Sun Life shares on both the Toronto and New York Stock Exchanges as of August 27, 2026. Because mini-tender offers are specifically structured to bypass standard disclosure and procedural safeguards mandated by Canadian and U.S. securities laws, regulators advise extreme vigilance.

Financial authorities, including the SEC and the Canadian Securities Administrators, have repeatedly warned that such bids often catch investors off guard by obscuring the gap between the offer price and the actual market value. Shareholders who have already tendered their shares retain the right to withdraw them within 21 days by following the procedures outlined in the offer documents. Sun Life advises all investors to consult with professional financial advisors and conduct a thorough review of their options before committing to any transaction involving Ocehan.
