Declares Dividend on Common Shares

TORONTO, CANADA -- Canadian General Investments, Limited ("CGI" or "the Company") has declared a quarterly dividend of $0.31 per share payable on March 15, 2026 to common shareholders of record at the close of business on February 27, 2026 ("the Dividend"). This dividend is designated as an "eligible dividend" for purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada).

In a continuing process of providing steady, consistent and growing quarterly dividends for more than a decade, the per share dividend amount represents a 14.8% increase from 2025.

CGI has the ability to pay two types of dividends to common shareholders: regular (taxable) dividends, such as this one, and capital gains dividends. Since CGI qualifies as an investment corporation for Canadian income tax purposes, the payment of capital gains dividends allows the Company to recover taxes paid, or payable, on realized capital gains.

CGI is a closed-end equity fund, focused on medium to long-term investments in primarily Canadian corporations. Its objective is to provide better than average returns to investors through prudent security selection, timely recognition of capital gains/losses and appropriate income generating instruments.
