Gildan Activewear Inc. has adopted a new shareholder rights plan agreement with Computershare Investor Services as rights agent, dated February 25, 2026. The plan is designed to address take-over bids by granting each shareholder a Right that becomes exercisable after a specified separation time.
A person who becomes the beneficial owner of 20% or more of outstanding voting shares (other than through permitted transactions) becomes an Acquiring Person, triggering potential dilution through a flip-in mechanism that can render such holder’s Rights void. The company may redeem the Rights at a price of $0.0001 per Right, and the exercise price is set at five times the market price per share at the separation time, subject to adjustment.
The plan must be confirmed and approved by a majority of votes cast by Independent Shareholders at a meeting to be held no later than June 1, 2026, or it will terminate. The agreement also provides for a further shareholder review at the 2029 annual meeting, at which Independent Shareholders will vote on its continued existence.
