QUÉBEC – iA Financial Corp. Inc. says it has reached a deal to buy RF Capital Group Inc., which operates under the Richardson Wealth brand, for $370 million.
Quebec City-based iA Financial says it’s paying $20 per common share in cash for the independent wealth management firm, while financial obligations including debt and preferred shares bring the total consideration to $597 million.
iA Financial says the deal will expand its national footprint and adds more than $40 billion in assets under administration to the firm.
It says the purchase price represents a 102 per cent premium to RF’s 30-day volume weighted average share price on the TSX.
iA Financial says the deal brings the total assets under administration in its wealth division to about $175 billion and creates scale advantages.
Founded in 1892, iA Financial Group says it is one of the largest insurance and wealth management groups in Canada.
