Share Split Resolution

This resolution provides Avigilon's Board of Directors with the discretion to divide the Company's issued and outstanding common shares on a two-for-one basis, such that each existing common share would become two common shares if the resolution were given effect. At this time the Company has no plans to enact this resolution, or to otherwise divide its issued and outstanding shares.

Shareholder Rights Plan Resolution

This resolution approved the Company's Shareholder Rights Plan dated May 25, 2016 (the "Rights Plan"), which is now in full force and effect.

The Rights Plan was not adopted in response to, or in anticipation of, any offer or take-over bid. A copy of the Rights Plan is available at www.SEDAR.com on Avigilon's corporate profile.

Forward-looking statements normally contain words like 'believe', 'expect', 'anticipate', 'plan', 'intend', 'continue', 'estimate', 'may', 'will', 'should', 'ongoing' and similar expressions, and within this news release include any statements (express or implied) respecting: the likelihood of any unsolicited take-over offer for the Company; the ability of the Rights Plan to maximize shareholder value; the ability of the Rights Plan to give shareholders adequate time to consider and evaluate any unsolicited take-over offer; and the ability of the Rights Plan to give the Board of Directors adequate time to explore, solicit and consider strategic alternatives.

Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, actions, or developments and are based on expectations, assumptions and other factors that management currently believes are relevant, reasonable and appropriate in the circumstances, including, without limitation, assumptions that the Rights Plan is a prudent measure to help maximize shareholder value in connection with any unsolicited take-over offer. 

Although management believes that the forward-looking statements are reasonable, actual results could be substantially different due to the risks and uncertainties associated with and inherent to Avigilon's business, as more particularly described in the "Risk Factors" section of Avigilon's Annual Information Form dated March 1, 2016, which is available under Avigilon's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

Although Avigilon has attempted to identify factors that may cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those disclosed in the forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be as anticipated, predicted, estimated or intended. Also, many of the factors are beyond the control of Avigilon. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Avigilon undertakes no obligation to reissue or update any forward-looking statements as a result of new information or events after the date hereof except as may be required by law. All forward-looking statements contained in this news release are qualified by this cautionary statement.
