MONTREAL, Feb. 13, 2019 /CNW Telbec/ - Fiera Capital Corporation ("Fiera Capital", or the "Firm" or the "Corporation"), (TSX: FSZ), a leading independent asset management firm, announces that it has issued today 458,157 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, as amended (the "Agreement") with respect to the acquisition by the Corporation from DJM of the business of Centria Commerce Inc. (now known as Fiera Private Lending Inc.), a leading Quebec-based private investment manager that establishes and manages funds providing real estate financing and interim business financing.

Pursuant to the Agreement, additional consideration of up to C$12 million is payable to DJM in Class A Shares over a period of three calendar years following the closing (each year being an "Earn-Out Period") if certain assets under management, revenue and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization targets are met (each an "Earn-Out Payment").

Assuming the conversion of his beneficially owned 7,195,714 Class B Shares into Class A Shares, Jean‑Guy Desjardins would beneficially own 9,386,279 Class A Shares, representing approximately 10.90% of the then issued and outstanding Class A Shares, and 9.54% of all of the then issued and outstanding shares of the Corporation.
