The company also outlined the mechanics for its dividend reinvestment and share purchase plans in both Canada and the United States. Under these arrangements, Manulife will acquire common shares directly on the open market to fulfill reinvestment requests and optional cash purchases. The acquisition price for these shares will reflect the actual average cost of the market transactions, with no discounts applied to the purchase price for participants.

Headquartered in Toronto, the financial services provider operates under the Manulife brand in Canada and Asia, while primarily utilizing the John Hancock name in the United States. The firm manages a global portfolio spanning insurance, wealth management, and retirement services for more than 37 million customers.
