Sun Life Announces Early Renewal of Normal Course Issuer Bid Français
TORONTO, June 4, 2025 /CNW/ - Sun Life Financial Inc. (TSX: SLF) (NYSE: SLF) (the "Company" or "Sun Life") announced today that the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions and the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX") have approved the Company's previously announced early renewal of its normal course issuer bid. As of the date hereof, the Company has purchased on the TSX, other Canadian stock exchanges and/or alternative Canadian trading platforms 14,429,085 of the 15,000,000 common shares that it was authorized to repurchase under its NCIB that commenced on August 29, 2024 (the "2024 NCIB"), at a weighted average price paid per common share of approximately $81.49. Under the Company's renewed normal course issuer bid (the "2025 NCIB"), the Company will be permitted to purchase up to 10,570,915 common shares, being equal to the remaining 570,915 common shares that the Company has not repurchased under the 2024 NCIB plus an additional 10,000,000 common shares. The 2025 NCIB will commence on June 9, 2025 and continue until May 21, 2026 or such earlier date as the Company may determine. The average daily trading volume of the Company's common shares on the TSX for the six months ending May 31, 2025 was 2,170,836 (the "ADTV"). Purchases under the 2025 NCIB may be made through the facilities of the TSX, other Canadian stock exchanges, the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") and/or alternative trading platforms in Canada and the United States, at prevailing market rates. In accordance with the TSX rules, the Company may purchase up to 542,709 of its common shares on the TSX during any trading day, which represents 25% of the ADTV, subject to the TSX rules permitting block purchases. Subject to certain exceptions for block purchases, the maximum number of common shares which can be purchased per day on the NYSE will be 25% of the average daily trading volume for the four calendar weeks preceding the date of purchase. The 2025 NCIB will provide the Company with the flexibility to acquire common shares in order to return capital to shareholders as part of its overall capital management strategy. In accordance with the requirements of the TSX, because the Company is renewing its normal course issuer bid before the 2024 NCIB expires, the total number of common shares that the Company repurchased under the 2024 NCIB will be deducted from the maximum number of common shares that the Company may purchase under the 2025 NCIB. Accordingly, the Company has obtained TSX approval to purchase up to 25,000,000 common shares under the 2025 NCIB, representing approximately 4.4% of the 563,611,686 common shares issued and outstanding as at June 2, 2025. The 25,000,000 common share maximum includes 14,429,085 common shares already repurchased under the 2024 NCIB and the 10,570,915 common shares that may be repurchased under the 2025 NCIB. Subject to regulatory approval, purchases under the 2025 NCIB may also be made by way of private agreements or share repurchase programs under issuer bid exemption orders issued by securities regulatory authorities. Any purchases made under an exemption order issued by a securities regulatory authority will generally be at a discount to the prevailing market price. The actual number of common shares purchased under the 2025 NCIB, and the timing of such purchases (if any), will be determined by the Company. Any common shares purchased by the Company pursuant to the 2025 NCIB will be cancelled or used in connection with certain equity settled incentive arrangements. The Company has established an automatic repurchase plan with its designated broker in order to facilitate purchases of common shares under the 2025 NCIB. Under the automatic repurchase plan, the Company's designated broker may purchase common shares pursuant to the 2025 NCIB at times when the Company ordinarily would not be active in the market due to its own internal trading blackout periods, insider trading rules or otherwise. Purchases made pursuant to the automatic repurchase plan, if any, will be made by the Company's designated broker based upon the parameters prescribed by the TSX, the NYSE, applicable Canadian and U.S. securities laws and the terms of the written agreement between the Company and its designated broker. The automatic repurchase plan constitutes an "automatic plan" for purposes of applicable Canadian securities legislation and has been pre-cleared by the TSX.

GOLDSTEIN: Tax Freedom Day is Sunday, June 8, when Canadians finally start working for themselves: report
Sunday is Tax Freedom Day this year, according to the Fraser Institute, signifying the day when Canadians stop working to pay taxes levied by all levels of government. Photo by Postmedia Network files Tax Freedom Day — when Canadians stop working for the government in order to pay their taxes and start working for themselves — will arrive on Sunday, June 8 this year, according to a new study by the Fraser Institute.

Create Account 'If Canadians paid all their taxes up front, they would work the first 158 days of this year before bringing any money home for themselves and their families,' said Jake Fuss, the Fraser Institute's director of fiscal studies. Using the example of an average Canadian family with two or more members earning $158,533 annually, the study says they will pay an estimated $68,266 in total taxes or 43.1% of their annual income. Families and unattached individuals with an income of $120,135 annually will pay $50,218 in total taxes, or 41.8% of their income, according to the annual survey. Federal taxes account for 58% of the total tax bill, provincial taxes 36% and municipal taxes 6%.

The annual survey by the fiscally conservative think tank also says that given projected federal and provincial deficits this year totalling almost $90 billion, what it describes as Balanced Budget Tax Freedom Day will be delayed by almost two weeks until June 21, if governments were obliged to cover current expenditures with current taxation. 'Today's deficits must one day be paid for by taxes,' the study says. 'Deficits should therefore be considered as deferred taxation.' Taxes used to compute Tax Freedom Day imposed by the federal, provincial and municipal governments include income taxes, payroll taxes, health taxes, sales taxes, property taxes, profit taxes, excise taxes, alcohol and tobacco taxes, fuel taxes, carbon taxes, motor vehicle licence fees, import duties, natural resource fees and other levies.

They pay for public services including health care, public education, social welfare programs, national defence, policing, firefighting, waste collection, road construction and repair and fund entitlement programs such as employment insurance, Canada Pension Plan and Old Age Security. According to the survey, 'Tax Freedom Day helps put the total tax burden in perspective and helps Canadians understand just how much of their money they pay in taxes every year. 'It is important to note that Tax Freedom Day is not intended to measure the benefits Canadians receive from governments in return for their taxes. Rather it looks at the price that is paid for a product — government. Tax Freedom Day is not a reflection of the quality of the product, how much of it each of us receives, or whether we get our money's worth. Those are questions only each of us can answer for ourselves.' This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Tax Freedom Day arrives one day earlier this year than in 2024 when it fell on June 9, based on the expectation that total tax revenues forecasted by the federal, provincial and municipal governments this year will increase at a slower rate than the incomes of Canadians. The latest Tax Freedom Day occurred in 2000 when it fell on June 27, almost two months after the earliest Tax Freedom Day of May 3 in 1961. The study says the precise Tax Freedom Day for Canadians depends on which province they live in. This year, Tax Freedom Day came earliest in Manitoba (May 17) and will arrive latest in Quebec (June 21). Tax Freedom Day in the other provinces in ascending order were May 31 for Alberta, Saskatchewan and British Columbia; June 2 in Prince Edward Island; June 4 in New Brunswick; June 7 in Ontario; June 10 in Nova Scotia and June 19 in Newfoundland and Labrador. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. 'The Canadian tax system is complex and no single number can give us a complete idea of who pays how much,' the study concludes. 'That said, Tax Freedom Day is the most comprehensive and easily understood indicator of the overall tax bill of the average Canadian family.' Finally, it should be noted that calculating the total tax levels Canadians pay has long been a controversial issue and critics of how the Fraser Institute calculates Tax Freedom Day say its numbers are incorrect and misleading, These criticisms include that the use of average family incomes instead of median incomes inflates the amount of money average Canadians pay in taxes; that it includes taxes paid by businesses as if they were being paid by families and that it fails to calculate the benefits families receive from paying taxes such as hospitals, schools and other public infrastructure they could not otherwise afford. A more accurate calculation of Tax Freedom Day, they say, would be weeks or months earlier than the Fraser Institute claims. Celebrity Toronto & GTA Toronto Blue Jays Canada Olympics
