TORONTO, June 27, 2013 /CNW/ - CIBC (TSX: CM) (NYSE: CM) today commented on the press release issued by
Aimia:
-
As we have commented previously, our objective is to have the market
leading travel card in Canada for our clients either through the
revitalization of the Aeroplan partnership or through the launch of our
own proprietary card offer.
-
In keeping with our contractual rights including our right of first
refusal as the incumbent issuer, and notwithstanding that the notice
provided by Aimia has been presented in a way that is inconsistent with
our understanding of our rights, we are in the process of reviewing the
proposed terms provided by Aimia to see if our objective can be
achieved through a renewal of our agreement.
-
In the meantime, it is business as usual for our clients who continue to
earn rewards on their CIBC Aeroplan card.
