DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES/

MONTREAL, Feb. 22, 2018 /CNW Telbec/ - Fiera Capital Corporation ("Fiera Capital" or the "Firm"), (TSX: FSZ), a leading independent investment firm, announces that it has issued today 335,838 Class A subordinate voting shares (the "Class A Shares") to DJM Capital Inc. ("DJM"). This issuance was made pursuant to the terms of the share purchase agreement between Fiera Capital and DJM dated November 10, 2016 (the "Agreement") with respect to the acquisition by the Firm from DJM of the business of Centria Commerce Inc. (now known as Fiera Private Lending Inc. ("FPL")), a leading Quebec-based private investment manager that establishes and manages funds providing construction financing, real estate investment and short-term business financing (the "Centria Acquisition").

Pursuant to the Agreement, additional consideration of up to C$12 million is payable to DJM in Class A Shares over a period of 3 calendar years following the closing (each year being an "Earn-Out Period") if certain AUM, revenue and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") targets are met (each an "Earn-Out Payment"). Fiera Capital and DJM have determined that for the Year 1 Earn-Out Period those targets were met and that the Earn-Out Payment for such period amounts to C$4,083,788. The issue price per Class A Shares is equal to the aggregate volume weighted average trading price of the Class A Shares for the 10 trading day period ended February 20, 2018.

Following the issuance of the Class A Shares, Jean-Guy Desjardins beneficially owns 1,824,039 Class A Shares, representing approximately 2.57% of the issued and outstanding Class A Shares. Assuming the conversion of his beneficially owned 7,195,714 Class B Shares into Class A Shares, Jean-Guy Desjardins would beneficially own 9,019,753 Class A Shares, representing approximately 11.55% of the then issued and outstanding Class A Shares, and 9.98% of all of the then issued and outstanding shares of the Firm.
