Alaris Provides Further Clarification to Unitholder Meeting Matters

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION IN THE UNITED STATES. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS RESTRICTION MAY CONSTITUTE A VIOLATION OF UNITED STATES SECURITIES LAW.

CALGARY, Alberta, May 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- (all numbers in this release are in Canadian dollars (CAN$) unless otherwise noted)

Alaris Equity Partners Income Trust (TSX:AD.UN) ("Alaris" or the "Trust") announces that it has amended the resolution (the "RTU Re-Approval Resolution") approving all unallocated restricted trust units issuable pursuant to the Trust’s restricted trust unit plan (the "RTU Plan") to be presented at its upcoming annual general and special unitholder meeting scheduled to be held on Thursday, May 7, 2026 (the "Meeting").

The amendment is intended to address feedback received from certain proxy advisory firms to clarify that plan amendments to eligible participants that may permit the introduction or reintroduction of non-employee trustee on a discretionary basis or plan amendments that increase limits previously imposed on non-employee trustee participation will not be permitted without unitholder approval.

Revised RTU Re-Approval Resolution

At the Meeting, the Trust intends to propose to Unitholders, for their consideration and approval, a version of the Revised RTU Re-Approval Resolution contained in the Circular, amended as follows (underlined language is new):

"be it resolved, as an ordinary resolution of the holders of units, that:

1. all unallocated restricted trust units (and the underlying Trust Units) issuable pursuant to the restricted trust unit plan of the Trust are approved and authorized until May 7, 2029;
   
   
2. the amendment to Section 2.6(a) of the RTU Plan, clarifying that the Board will not be entitled to amend the Treasury Plan without Exchange and Unitholder approval to:
   
   (a) permit the introduction or reintroduction of nonemployee trustees as Participants on a discretionary basis or any amendment that increases the limits previously imposed on non-employee trustee participation; or
   
   (b) amend Section 5.6 of the RTU Plan or any other provision of the Treasury Plan (as such term is defined in the RTU Plan) to increase the limits applicable to Trustees who are not officers or employees of an Alaris Entity set forth in paragraphs 5.6(d) and (e) of the RTU Plan, be approved, ratified and confirmed; and
   
   
3. any one trustee or officer of the Trust be and is hereby authorized and directed to do all things and to execute and deliver all documents and instruments as may be necessary or desirable to carry out the terms of this resolution."
   

The Trust’s Board of Trustees recommends Unitholders vote FOR the RTU Re-Approval Resolution. Unless you give other instructions, the management proxyholders intend to vote FOR the RTU Re-Approval Resolution.

The Toronto Stock Exchange has conditionally approved the amended and restated RTU Plan, subject to ratification by Unitholders at the Meeting.
