Approval of Three-for-One Share Split

At the Meeting, Dollarama's shareholders approved the Share Split. Consequently, shareholders of record as at the close of business on June 14, 2018 (the "Record Date") will receive, on June 19, 2018 (the "Payment Date"), two additional common shares for each common share held. As at the close of markets on June 6, 2018, Dollarama had 109,242,359 common shares issued and outstanding. Adjusting for the Share Split, as of June 6, 2018, there would have been 327,727,077 common shares issued and outstanding.

In accordance with the applicable rules of the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX"), the Corporation's common shares will trade on a due bill basis from June 13, 2018 (being one trading day prior to the Record Date) to the Payment Date (i.e. June 19, 2018), inclusively. A due bill is an entitlement attached to listed securities undergoing a material corporate action, such as the Share Split. In this instance, the entitlement is to the additional common shares issuable as a result of the Share Split. Any trades that are executed on the TSX during the due bill period will be flagged to ensure purchasers receive the entitlement to the additional common shares issuable as a result of the Share Split. Ex-distribution trading in the common shares on a split-adjusted basis will commence on June 20, 2018, as of which date purchases of common shares will no longer have the attaching entitlement to the additional common shares. The due bill redemption date will be June 22, 2018.

Shareholders do not need to take any action. Computershare Investor Services Inc., the Corporation's transfer agent, will send to all registered shareholders, on the Payment Date, a notice under the direct registration system indicating the number of additional common shares that they received as a result of the Share Split. These additional common shares will be held in book-entry form and registered electronically in the transfer agent's recordkeeping system, unless a physical share certificate is requested by the registered shareholder. Currently outstanding share certificates representing common shares of the Corporation will continue to be effective. They should be retained by registered shareholders and should not be forwarded to the Corporation or its transfer agent. Non-registered shareholders will have their brokerage accounts automatically updated to reflect the Share Split.

The Share Split is not expected to result in taxable income or in any gain or loss to shareholders for Canadian federal income tax purposes. Shareholders are advised to consult with their own tax advisors for further information. The Share Split will not dilute shareholders' equity. All share and per share data for future periods will reflect the Share Split. The Corporation's equity-based compensation plan as well as the Corporation's normal course issuer bid will be adjusted to reflect the Share Split.

Further details of the Share Split are contained in the Circular, which was filed on SEDAR (www.sedar.com) under the Corporation's profile on April 27, 2018 and which is available on the Corporation's website (www.dollarama.com).
