Summary · why it matters

Sun Life Financial Inc. has been notified that Ocehan LLC made an unsolicited mini-tender offer to purchase up to 100,000 common shares of Sun Life at a price significantly lower than recent market prices. Sun Life said the offer represents a discount of 24.97% and 24.93%, respectively, to the closing prices of its common shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange on August 27, 2026, the last trading day before the mini-tender offer was commenced. The company is not associated with Ocehan and does not recommend or endorse acceptance of the unsolicited offer, noting shareholders are not required to sell their shares. Sun Life said shareholders who have already tendered can withdraw their shares within 21 days in accordance with the procedures set forth in the offer documents. The company cautioned that mini-tender offers are designed to avoid the disclosure and procedural requirements applicable to most bids under Canadian and U.S. securities laws, and it requested that a copy of its news release be included in any distribution of materials relating to Ocehan's offer.
