Clarification by the Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec - Michael Sabia's compensation

MONTREAL, April 16, 2013 /CNW Telbec/ - The Canadian Press, in a dispatch published earlier this afternoon, wrongly suggests that Michael Sabia's total compensation and performance-related incentive compensation increased in 2012. The total amount of the incentive compensation (paid and co-invested) granted by the Board of Directors to Mr. Sabia is exactly the same as that granted in 2011. As Mr. Sabia's salary also remains unchanged, the total amount of his total compensation also remains the same.
