Imvescor Adopts Dividend Policy

Dividend policy provides for quarterly dividend of $0.02 per share.

First dividend expected to be declared in the following weeks and first regular quarterly dividend
expected to be declared concurrently with the release of the Company's results for the fourth

Moncton, N.B., October 24, 2014 – Imvescor Restaurant Group Inc. (the "Company") (TSX: IRG)
announced today that further to its previously announced review of the capital allocation policy of the
Company, the Board of Directors has adopted a dividend policy providing for the payment of a
quarterly dividend of $0.02 per share. The dividend policy has been designed to allow sufficient
flexibility to continue investing in the Company's growth and its franchise network while providing
returns to its shareholders.
"We are very pleased to be able to implement this dividend policy", said Frank Hennessey, President
and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. "Given our business model, we are in a position to return
cash to our shareholders, while retaining financial flexibility to make significant investments in the
health of our franchised restaurant brands. The long term health of our franchise owners remains our
top priority and key strategic investments will help re-ignite growth for both our franchisees and the
Company."
The Board of Directors expects to declare the first dividend of $0.02 per share in the coming weeks. The
first regular quarterly dividend is expected to be declared concurrently with the release of the
Company's results for the fourth quarter of its 2014 financial year, with following dividends to be
declared quarterly concurrently with the release of the Company's results.
The declaration and payment of any dividend remains at the discretion of the Board of Directors and
will depend on the Company's cash requirements, financial results, future prospects and other factors
deemed relevant by the Board of Directors. Any dividend policy established by the Board of Directors
can be changed at any time and such policy is not binding on the Company. There can be no guarantee
that the Company will maintain its current dividend policy or that any dividend will be declared or
paid.
