SGF makes minority equity commitment to newly privatized Logibec Groupe

On July 18, 2010, Logibec Groupe Informatique Ltée (TSX:LGI) and OMERS Private Equity Inc. (the private equity arm of OMERS Worldwide group of companies) announced that 8,896,520 common shares of Logibec, representing approximately 98% of the outstanding Logibec common shares, had been tendered to the offer dated June 10, 2010 made by OPE LGI Inc. to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Logibec at a price of $26.00 per common share.

SGF was advised in this transaction by Fasken Martineau with a team that included Gilles Leclerc and Marie-Josée Neveu (corporate/securities) and Jean-Philippe Mikus and Felix Gutiérrez (banking).
