TORONTO, June 17,
2024 /CNW/ - Aimia Inc. (TSX: AIM) ("Aimia" or

high corporate governance standards.
To further shareholder confidence and transparency, Aimia has

unlocking shareholder value, monetizing non-core assets, the best

Mithaq. Shareholders are encouraged to watch the video to
understand why it is important to vote and protect your investment
in Aimia.
As advised earlier, the Meeting will be conducted by an
independent chair advised by independent counsel. This is a
reminder that the Annual general meeting may be contested. To
