On April 10, 2026, BC General Employees? Union submitted a shareholder proposal to Loblaw Companies Limited requesting the Board of Directors of the company to publicly disclose, at reasonable cost and excluding proprietary information, the Company?s progress toward ending property controls, including: i) How many properties currently retain property controls and timeline for ending remaining controls; and ii) Clarify the Company?s approach to property controls where Loblaw is the beneficial owner or co-owner of real estate assets, including who leases are with and when controls will be eliminated. This analysis should clarify if and how the Strategic Alliance Agreement between Loblaw and Choice Properties impacts ending property controls.
