July 30, 2010 Securities Insurance

Montréal – The Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF) issued a press release on July 21, 2010 announcing that penal proceedings had been launched against Martin Poulin and Jean-Yves Mulet for violating the Securities Act and An Act respecting the distribution of financial products and services in connection with Centre financier Carrefour inc.

The AMF wishes to clarify that the financial planning, insurance of persons and group insurance of persons firm Centre financier Carrefour inc. (registration No. 508049) that has a place of business in Montréal and Pointe-Claire is duly registered with the AMF. This firm should not be confused with the firm Centre financier Carrefour inc. named in the suit against Jean-Yves Mulet and Martin Poulin in the AMF news release of July 21, 2010. Centre financier Carrefour inc. is not related to the suit filed against Jean-Yves Mulet and Martin Poulin.
