FORWARD-LOOKING AND CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS

This presentation contains statements that constitute “forward-looking information” within the meaning of Canadian securities laws (“forward-looking statements”), which are based upon our current expectations, estimated, projections, assumptions and beliefs. All information that is not clearly historical in nature may constitute forward-looking statements. In some cases, forward-looking statements are typically identified by the use of terms such as “outlook”, “guidance”, “target”, “forecast”, “assumption” and other similar expressions or future or conditional terms such as "anticipate", "believe", "could", "estimate", "expect", "intend", "may", "plan", "predict", "project", "will", "would", and “should”. Forward-looking statements in this presentation include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to our current and future plans, expectations and intentions, results, level of activity, performance, goals and achievements (including of our equity investments), the anticipated benefits of the proposed transactions with Kognitiv and Mittleman Brothers LLC, including expected revenue synergies, cost synergies and the pro forma financial impact on the combined businesses resulting therefrom, and the completion and timing of the transactions.

Forward-looking statements, by their nature, are based on assumptions and are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties, both general and specific, that contribute to the possibility that the predictions, forecasts projections and other forward-looking statement will not occur. The forward-looking statements in this presentation speak only as of the date hereof and reflect several material factors, expectations and assumptions, including a number of economic and market assumptions, assumptions relating to the expected benefits to be realized from the transaction with Mittleman Brothers and synergies to be realized from the transaction with Kognitiv, as well as assumptions regarding currencies and the performance of the economies in which the company operates and market competition and tax laws applicable to the company's operations. The company cautions that the assumptions used to prepare the above guidance, although reasonable at the time they were made, may prove to be incorrect or inaccurate. In addition, the guidance does not reflect the potential impact of any nonrecurring or other special items or of any new material commercial agreements, dispositions, mergers, acquisitions, other business combinations or other transactions that may be announced or that may occur after May 13, 2020. The financial impact of these transactions and non-recurring and other special items can be complex and depends on the facts particular to each of them. We therefore cannot describe the expected impact in a meaningful way or in the same way we presently know about the risks affecting our business. Accordingly, our actual results could differ materially from our expectations as set forth in this presentation.

Undue reliance should not be placed on any forecasts, predictions or forward-looking statements as these may be affected by, among other things, changing external events and general uncertainties of the business and its corporate structure. Results indicated in forward-looking statements may differ materially from actual results for a number of reasons, including without limitation, failure of the proposed amalgamation of Aimia’s Loyalty Solutions and ISS businesses (together, “Aimia Loyalty Solutions”) with Kognitiv and the proposed acquisition of Mittleman Brothers LLC being completed on the contemplated terms and in a timely manner or at all, failure to successfully negotiate the proposed amendments of the Shareholders Agreement with Aeromexico or the CPSA between Aeromexico and PLM on the same terms as set forth in the letter of intent or at all, failure to realize the anticipated benefits from the transactions with Kognitiv and/or Mittleman Brothers, the execution of the strategic plan, investment risks, including in connection with how and when to deploy and invest Aimia’s considerable cash and other liquid assets, investment partnerships risks, reliance on key personnel, market price and trading volume of the common shares and preferred shares, passive foreign investment company risk, industry competition, failure to protect intellectual property rights, technological disruptions and inability to use third-party software and outsourcing, regulatory matters - privacy, failure to safeguard databases, cyber security and consumer privacy, uncertainty of dividend declarations and/or payments on either common shares or preferred shares, tax losses, business and industry disruptions related to natural disasters, security issues and global health crises particularly as they might affect the airline, travel and hospitality sectors, airline industry changes and increased airline costs, foreign operations, interest rate and currency fluctuations, retail market/economic conditions, legal proceedings, audit by tax authorities, as well as the other factors identified throughout this presentation and throughout Aimia's public disclosure records on file with the Canadian securities regulatory authorities. A discussion of the material risks applicable to us can be found in our current Management and Discussion and Analysis and Annual Information Form, each of which have been or will be filed on SEDAR and can be accessed at www.sedar.com. Except as required by applicable securities laws, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made and we disclaim any intention and assumes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

This presentation contains both IFRS and non-GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP financial measures are defined and reconciled to the most comparable IFRS measures, if applicable, in our MD&A and at slide 3. See caution regarding Non-GAAP financial measures on slide 3.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Aimia uses the following non-GAAP financial measures which it believes provides investors and analysts with additional information to better understand results as well as assess its potential. GAAP means generally accepted accounting principles in Canada and represents International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). For a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP measure, please refer to the section entitled “Performance Indicators (including certain non-GAAP financial measures)” in our Management Discussion & Analysis on pages 10 to 14 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 which can be accessed here: https://www.aimia.com/en/investors/quarterly-reports.html. For ease of reference, we have also included a reconciliation table to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, if any, on slide 4 .

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement based on GAAP, is not considered an alternative to net earnings in measuring profitability, does not have a standardized meaning, and is not comparable to similar measures used by other issuers. As an alternative, we do however provide a reconciliation to operating income on page 13 of the Management Discussion & Analysis (MD&A) for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and on slide 4 in this presentation. Adjusted EBITDA is used by management to evaluate performance. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA assists investors in comparing Aimia's performance on a consistent basis excluding depreciation and amortization and impairment charges related to non-financial assets, which are non-cash in nature and can vary significantly depending on accounting methods as well as non-operating factors such as historical cost. Management believes that the inclusion of distributions and dividends received or receivable from equity-accounted investments in Adjusted EBITDA assists investors by adding a performance indicator representative of earnings from equity-accounted investments accessible to the Corporation. Unless otherwise noted, Adjusted EBITDA for the current and comparable periods exclude the results of discontinued operations. Adjusted EBITDA is operating income adjusted to exclude depreciation, amortization and impairment charges related to non-financial assets. Adjusted EBITDA also includes distributions and dividends received or receivable from equity-accounted investments. Adjusted EBITDA should not be used as an exclusive measure of cash flow because it does not account for the impact of working capital growth, capital expenditures, debt repayments and other sources and uses of cash, which are disclosed in the statements of cash flows.

PLM Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA for PLM ("PLM Adjusted EBITDA”) is operating income adjusted to exclude depreciation, amortization and impairment charges related to non-financial assets, as well as adjusted for certain factors particular to PLM, such as changes in deferred revenue and Future Redemption Costs. Change in deferred revenue is calculated as the difference between Gross Billings and revenue recognized, including recognition of Breakage. Future Redemption Costs represent management's estimated future cost of rewards in respect of Loyalty Units sold which remain outstanding and unbroken at the end of any given period. Future Redemption Costs are revalued at the end of any given period by taking into account the most recently determined average unit cost per Loyalty Unit redeemed for that period (cost of rewards / Loyalty Units redeemed) and applying it to the total Unbroken Loyalty Units outstanding at the end of that period. As a result, Future Redemption Costs and the change in Future Redemption Costs must be calculated at the end of any given period and for that period. The simple addition of sequential inter-period changes to arrive at a cumulative change for a particular period may result in inaccurate results depending on the fluctuation in the Average Cost of Rewards per Loyalty Unit redeemed for the period in question. PLM Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement based on GAAP, is not considered an alternative to net earnings in measuring profitability, does not have a standardized meaning, and is not comparable to similar measures used by other issuers. Aimia and PLM's management do not believe that PLM Adjusted EBITDA has an appropriate directly comparable GAAP measure. However, a reconciliation to PLM’s operating income is provided in our MD&A on page 31. PLM Adjusted EBITDA is used by Aimia and PLM's management to evaluate performance. Aimia and PLM’s management believe PLM Adjusted EBITDA assists investors in comparing PLM's performance on a consistent basis without regard to depreciation and amortization and impairment charges related to non-financial assets, which are non-cash in nature and can vary significantly depending on accounting methods, and non-operating factors such as historical cost.

Free Cash Flow, Free Cash Flow before Dividends Paid and Free Cash Flow before Dividends paid per Common Share

Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow before Dividends Paid are non-GAAP measures, do not have a standardized meaning, and are not comparable to similar measures used by other issuers. They are used in order to provide a consistent and comparable measurement of cash generated from operations and used as indicators of financial strength and performance. Free Cash Flow is defined as cash flows from operating activities, as reported in accordance with GAAP, less adjustments for (all as reported in accordance with GAAP): (a) total capital expenditures; (b) principal elements of lease payments; and (c) dividends paid. Free Cash Flow before Dividends Paid is defined as cash flows from operating activities as reported in accordance with GAAP, less capital expenditures as reported in accordance with GAAP and principal elements of lease payments. Free Cash Flow before Dividends Paid per Common Share is a measurement of cash flow generated from operations on a per share basis. It is calculated as follows: Free Cash Flow before Dividends Paid minus dividends paid on preferred shares and non-controlling interests over the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. For a reconciliation of Free Cash Flow before Dividends Paid and Free Cash Flow before Dividends Paid per Common Share to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, if any, please see slide 4 in this presentation.

STRATEGIC HIGHLIGHTS

AIMIA EXPANDS RELATIONSHIP WITH AEROMEXICO

  • Binding letter of intent signed with Aeromexico to negotiate certain amendments to the CPSA, including a 20-year extension to the CPSA that would result in a termination date for the contract of September 13, 2050, as well as negotiate certain amendments to the shareholder agreement, including to grant to Aeromexico an option to acquire Aimia’s stake in PLM at a 7.5x Adjusted EBITDA valuation, with a US$400 million minimum for Aimia’s stake. Option to acquire Aimia’s stake expires after 7 years

  • Proposed financial support for Aeromexico by PLM of US$100 million using US$50 million intercompany loans following the execution of the letter of intent and US$50 million through prepurchases of award tickets upon execution of the amendments to the CPSA. Both loans will be secured by Aeromexico’s 51.1% equity interest in PLM and will be funded by PLM’s cash on hand

Providing Aeromexico an option to purchase Aimia’s stake in PLM allows us to fully align our interests going forward

  • Subject to market conditions, Aimia and Aeromexico will explore alternatives to strengthen PLM's balance sheet and enhance distributions to shareholders

STRATEGIC HIGHLIGHTS

AIMIA ACQUIRES STAKES IN CLEAR MEDIA LIMITED

Aimia now owns a large stake in a leader in the outdoor advertising market in China that’s debt-free with strong growth and free cash flow generation, backed by a blue chip consortium of investors and a highly skilled management team

  • Aimia invested approximately $75 million in Clear Media Limited (HK: 100), one of the largest outdoor advertising firms operating in China with market shares of more than 70% in top-tier cities like Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, representing over a 10% equity stake in the company

  • Investment in Clear Media Limited was acquired through a series of common share purchases totaling 58.8 million common shares, which included 19.6 million common shares previously held by clients of Mittleman Investment Management, at an average cost of HK$7.12 per share, reflecting the same price that would have been paid to the clients of Mittleman Investment Management through the current tender offer

  • Investment represents an outstanding opportunity for Aimia’s stakeholders, diversifying our holdings and taking advantage of the COVID-19 related economic malaise in the U.S. and China

  • This investment was made in anticipation of a pending change of control transaction which, if completed, would see current controlling shareholder, Clear Channel Outdoor, sell its 50.9% stake in Clear Media to Ever Harmonic Global Ltd., which is owned: 40% by Clear Media’s CEO, 30% by Ant Financial, 23% by JCDecaux, 7% by JIC Capital Management Limited
