Canada Government Sells Equity Holding in Air Canada, The Globe and Mail Reports

Dow Jones

Dec 13, 2024

*The Canadian government has sold its equity holdings in the country's biggest airline, Air Canada, which were acquired as part of emergency Covid-19 financing, Toronto-based The Globe and Mail reported, citing a source.

*In April of 2021, Canada provided Air Canada with financing of up to 5.4 billion Canadian dollars, or the equivalent of $3.8 billion, to help with a drop in travel emanating from the Covid-19 pandemic. In exchange, the Canadian government acquired C$500 million in newly-issued Class B voting shares.

*The Globe reported Canada's finance ministry sold the shares at C$25 apiece over the past few days, or above the estimated acquisition price of C$23.18 apiece.

*A representative for Canada's Department of Finance did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Nor did a spokesman for Air Canada.
