REGINA, SK, May 28, 2026 /CNW/ - SSC Security Services Corp. ("SSC" or the "Company") (TSXV: SECU) (OTCQX: SECUF), a national provider of physical and electronic security services to commercial, industrial and public sector clients across Canada, today releases its financial results for the second quarter ended March 31, 2026. On May 26, 2026, SSC announced a definitive Arrangement Agreement with Allied Universal pursuant to which Allied Universal will acquire all issued and outstanding common shares of SSC for all-cash consideration of $4.4075 per share, representing a 119% premium to the closing price on May 25, 2026 (the "Transaction"). Concurrent with the Transaction, SSC's cyber security and legacy agriculture businesses will be sold to a corporation controlled by current and former senior management. See "Subsequent Event" below. All figures are presented in Canadian dollars.

"SSC is continuing its profitable run this quarter. Our consistently strong results are a testament to the hard work of everyone at the company — and while that may sound cliché, in our case it is very true. You don't achieve organic growth of over 15% without a team that is committed to their work and to creating value for our shareholders. There are many changes and opportunities ahead for our employees as we move toward new ownership with Allied Universal in the coming months. It has been an honour to lead this team and to be part of building one of the best security services companies in Canada," said Chairman and CEO Doug Emsley.

Key Highlights for Q2 2026:

• Strong Revenue Growth – The Company generated $32.0 million in revenue in Q2 2026, an increase of 15.5% from $27.7 million in the prior-year second quarter. This represents the highest second quarter revenue in the Company's history.
• Consistent Adjusted EBITDA - Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 was $1.2 million ($0.06 per share), an increase from the prior year second quarter adjusted EBITDA of $1.0 million ($0.06 per share).

SUBSEQUENT EVENT – ARRANGEMENT AGREEMENT

On May 26, 2026, SSC entered into a definitive Arrangement Agreement with Universal Protection Service, LP (operating as Allied Universal) pursuant to which Allied Universal will acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of SSC by way of a statutory plan of arrangement under The Business Corporations Act, 2021 (Saskatchewan). Under the terms of the Transaction, SSC shareholders will receive all-cash consideration of $4.4075 per share, representing a 119% premium to the closing price on May 25, 2026. The aggregate consideration payable to SSC shareholders is approximately $80.5 million.

Concurrent with the Transaction, SSC will sell its cyber security and legacy agriculture businesses (the "Carve-Out Business") to a corporation controlled by SSC's current and former senior management (the "Management Purchasers") pursuant to a management buyout. Because certain directors and officers of SSC are also Management Purchasers, a special committee of independent directors was established to oversee the Transaction on behalf of disinterested shareholders. The Transaction constitutes a "business combination" and "related party transaction" under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 and accordingly requires minority shareholder approval in addition to the standard two-thirds approval threshold.

The Transaction is subject to approval by at least two-thirds of votes cast by SSC shareholders, and by a simple majority of votes cast excluding shares held by the Management Purchasers, receipt of Court of King's Bench approval, TSX Venture Exchange approval, and other customary closing conditions. The Board of Directors has unanimously (with conflicted directors abstaining) determined that the Transaction is in the best interests of SSC and recommends that shareholders vote in favour. The Transaction is expected to close in July 2026. The management information circular is expected to be mailed to shareholders in June 2026 and will be filed on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.  

As a result of the Transaction, SSC has suspended all dividend payments effective immediately. No further dividends will be declared or paid.
