A press release distributed on October 6, 2025 contained a typographical error. The reference to “The Class A Shares are expected to trade on an ex-split basis at the opening of trading on October 28, 2025.” should have read: “The Class A Shares are expected to trade on an ex-split basis at the opening of trading on October 27, 2025.” No other changes have been made. The corrected release follows:

(TSX: LBS,OTC:LFBCF, LBS.PR.A) Life & Banc Split Corp. (the “Fund”) is pleased to announce its intention to complete a share split of its Class A shares (the “Share Split”) due to the strong performance of the Fund. Class A shareholders of record at the close of business on October 27, 2025 will receive an additional 10 Class A shares for every 100 Class A shares held, pursuant to the stock split. The stock split is subject to the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”).

Class A shareholders will continue to receive regular monthly cash distributions after the stock split, targeting $0.10 per Class A share. As a result, the total amount of distributions payable to Class A shareholders is expected to increase by approximately 10%. The Fund offers a distribution reinvestment plan, on a commission-free basis, for Class A shareholders who wish to reinvest distributions and realize the benefits of compound growth.

Over the past decade, its Class A shares have delivered a total return of 20.5% per year based on net asset value, outperforming the S&P/TSX Capped Financials Total Return Index by 6.8% per year and outperforming the S&P/TSX Composite Total Return Index by 8.7% per year. ( 1 ) Since inception, Class A shareholders have received cash distributions of $20.95 per share.

Following the completion of the stock split, the Fund’s preferred shares are expected to have downside protection against a decline in the value of the Fund’s portfolio of approximately 52%. ( 2 )

Trading in Class A Shares is expected to occur ex-split at the opening of trading on October 27, 2025. No fractional shares of Class A Shares will be issued and the number of Class A Shares each holder will receive will be rounded down to the nearest whole number. The stock split is a non-taxable event.

The Fund invests on an approximately equally weighted basis in a portfolio consisting of common stocks of the six largest Canadian banks and the four largest publicly traded Canadian life insurance companies:

Bank of Montreal Greater West Lifeco Inc.
National Bank of Canada The Bank of Nova Scotia
Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce Royal Bank of Canada

1 year 3 years 5 years 10 years
Class A Shares (TSX:LBS,OTC:LFBCF) 51.8 % 43.1 % 40.7 % 20.5 %

S&P/TSX composite total return index 28.6 % 21.3 % 16.7 % 11.8 %


The returns are for the periods ending September 30, 2025 and are unaudited.
Effective October 17, 2006. The The table shows the Fund’s composite return on its Class A Shares for each period indicated, compared to the S&P/TSX Capped Financials Total Return Index (“Financials Index”) and the S&P/TSX Composite Total Return Index (“Composite Index”) (collectively, the “Indices”). The Financials Index is derived from the Composite Index, based on the financial sector of the Global Industry Classification Standard. The Composite Index tracks the performance, on a market weight and total return basis, of a broad index of large capitalization issuers listed on the TSX. The Fund is passively managed and consists of four Canadian life insurance companies and six Canadian banks with approximately equal weighting; therefore, the performance of the indices is not expected to reflect the performance of the indices, which have more diversified portfolios and include a significantly greater number of companies. In addition, the performance of the Indices is calculated net of management fees, fund expenses and trading commissions, while the performance of the Fund is calculated net of such fees and expenses. In addition, the performance of the Fund’s Class A shares is affected by the leverage provided by the Fund’s preferred shares. The performance information shown is based on the net asset value per Class A share and assumes that cash distributions made by the Fund during the periods indicated have been reinvested in additional Class A shares of the Fund at the net asset value per Class A share. Past performance does not necessarily indicate how the Fund will perform in the future.

You will normally pay brokerage fees to your dealer when you buy or sell mutual fund shares on the TSX or other alternative Canadian trading system (an “exchange”). When buying or selling shares on an exchange, investors may pay more than the current net asset value when purchasing shares of the mutual fund and may receive less than the current net asset value when selling them.

There are ongoing fees and expenses associated with owning shares of a mutual fund. A mutual fund must prepare disclosure documents that contain important information about the fund. More detailed information about the fund can be found in the public filings available at www.sedarplus.ca. The returns indicated are the historical annual compounded total returns, including changes in share value and reinvestment of all distributions, and do not take into account certain fees such as redemption charges or income taxes payable by security holders that would have reduced returns.
