/NOT FOR RELEASE OVER US NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR DISSEMINATION IN THE US/

MONTREAL, May 4, 2017 /CNW Telbec/ - Dollarama Inc. (TSX: DOL) ("Dollarama" or the "Corporation") announced today that it has priced an offering of $75 million aggregate principal amount of additional series 2 floating rate senior unsecured notes due March 16, 2020 (the "Additional Series 2 Floating Rates Notes") as well as an offering of $250 million aggregate principal amount of 2.203% senior unsecured notes due November 10, 2022 (the "Fixed Rate Notes", and collectively with the Additional Series 2 Floating Rate Notes, the "Notes").

The Additional Series 2 Floating Rate Notes and the Fixed Rate Notes are being offered concurrently through an agency syndicate consisting of CIBC Capital Markets and RBC Capital Markets, as joint bookrunners and co-lead private placement agents, and including National Bank Financial Inc., TD Securities Inc., Desjardins Securities Inc., Scotia Capital Inc. and Casgrain & Company Limited. The offering of Additional Series 2 Floating Rate Notes and the offering of Fixed Rate Notes (collectively, the "Offerings") are not dependent or conditional upon each other and are expected to close on or about May 10, 2017, subject to customary closing conditions.

The Additional Series 2 Floating Rate Notes constitute an increase to the $225 million aggregate principal amount of series 2 floating rate senior unsecured notes due March 16, 2020 issued by the Corporation on March 16, 2017 (the "Original Series 2 Floating Rate Notes"). The Additional Series 2 Floating Rate Notes will be issued at a premium of 0.284% of the principal amount thereof, for aggregate gross proceeds of $75.21 million. In addition to the purchase price of the Additional Series 2 Floating Rate Notes, purchasers will be required to pay an amount equal to the accrued interest on the Original Series 2 Floating Rate Notes from and including March 16, 2017 to but excluding the date of issuance of the Additional Series 2 Floating Rate Notes. As at the date of issuance, the effective spread over the 3‑month bankers' acceptance rate (CDOR) for the Additional Series 2 Floating Rate Notes will be 49 basis points (or 0.49%). Once issued, the Additional Series 2 Floating Rate Notes will bear interest at the same rate as the Original Series 2 Floating Rate Notes, such rate being equal to the applicable 3‑month bankers' acceptance rate (CDOR) plus 59 basis points (or 0.59%), to be set quarterly on the 16^th day of March, June, September and December of each year. Interest on the Additional Series 2 Floating Rate Notes will be payable in cash quarterly, in arrears, on the 16^th day of March, June, September and December of each year until maturity on March 16, 2020, concurrently with the payment of interest on the Original Series 2 Floating Rate Notes, commencing on June 16, 2017. All other terms and conditions applicable to the Original Series 2 Floating Rate Notes will also apply to the Additional Series 2 Floating Rate Notes, and those will be treated as a single series with the Original Series 2 Floating Rate Notes.

The Fixed Rate Notes will bear interest at a rate of 2.203% per annum, payable in equal semi‑annual instalments, in arrears, on the 10^th day of May and November of each year until maturity on November 10, 2022.

The Corporation intends to use the net proceeds of the Offerings to (i) repay the $275 million aggregate principal amount of its outstanding floating rate senior unsecured notes due May 16, 2017, (ii) repay indebtedness outstanding under its revolving credit facility and (iii) for general corporate purposes.

The Notes will be direct unsecured obligations of Dollarama and will rank pari passu with all other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of Dollarama, including the Original Series 2 Floating Rate Notes.

Both the Additional Series 2 Floating Rate Notes and the Fixed Rate Notes have been assigned a provisional rating of BBB, with a stable trend, by DBRS Limited, and are being offered in Canada on a private placement basis in reliance upon exemptions from the prospectus requirements under applicable securities legislation.

The Notes have not been and will not be qualified for sale to the public under applicable securities laws in Canada and, accordingly, any offer and sale of the Notes in Canada will be made on a basis which is exempt from the prospectus requirements of such securities laws. The Notes have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act"), or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration under, or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of, the U.S. Securities Act. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes in any jurisdiction where it is unlawful to do so.
