13, 2017 Sears Canada Inc. ("Sears Canada" or the "Company") (TSX: SCC; NASDAQ: SRSC) received notice from the Listing
Qualifications Department of the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC ("NASDAQ") indicating that the Company's shares have not closed at the
minimum bid price requirement of US$1.00 per share, as set forth in the NASDAQ Listing Rule

for 30 consecutive business days. The notification has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company's
common shares on the NASDAQ Global Market and the common shares will continue to trade under the symbol "SRSC".
