Sun Life Financial Inc. announces intention to redeem Series B Senior Unsecured 4.95% Fixed/Floating Debentures

TORONTO, April 4, 2016 /CNW/ - Sun Life Financial Inc. (TSX: SLF) (NYSE: SLF) today announced its intention to redeem all of the outstanding $950 million principal amount of Series B Senior Unsecured 4.95% Fixed/Floating Debentures (the "Debentures") in accordance with the redemption terms attached to the Debentures.

The Debentures are redeemable at Sun Life Financial Inc.'s option on June 1, 2016 (the "Redemption Date") at a redemption price per Debenture equal to the principal amount together with accrued and unpaid interest to the Redemption Date. Notice will be delivered to the holders of the Debentures in accordance with the terms outlined in the trust indenture governing the Debentures.

After the Debentures are redeemed, interest will cease to accrue from and after the Redemption Date and holders of Debentures will not be entitled to exercise any rights as holders other than to receive the redemption price. Under Minimum Continuing Capital and Surplus Requirements ("MCCSR") of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions, Canada, senior debentures do not qualify as available capital. As a result, the redemption of the Debentures will have no impact on the MCCSR ratio of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada or Sun Life Financial Inc.
