Q. What is the value of my shares?
A. Unfortunately, SAGE is unable to advise you on the value of your shares. This is something we recommend discussing with a financial advisor. You can also refer to the valuation report that valued SAGE as at March 31, 2018 that you would have received as part of your Information Circular package for SAGE’s Annual Meeting that was held on Friday September 7, 2018. Within this package it provides you with an estimated range on the value of your shares at March 31, 2018. If you do not have a copy of this report, please contact SAGE directly at 403-478-9661 or by emailing info@sageproperties.ca

Q: I was a joint investor in the Church Extension Fund, but my name is not listed on the share certificate with my other partner, what happened and how do I add my name back on to the account?
A: SAGE has encountered a number of shareholders who have expressed that there was an error in how their shares were issued and that the share certificate was only registered with one name. SAGE will absorb the cost to fix this error as long as the shareholder is able to provide the following completed forms and documents:
- Re-Registration Form
- Stock Power of Attorney Form (original copy required)
- Copy of a previous statement with the Church Extension Fund (CEF) that shows the original joint investors
Q. Why do I need a Stock Power of Attorney form to correct my shares to read “joint”?
