Assurance Concerning CCMBC Pension Plan Investments
Further to the February 4, 2026 communication sent to our investors and churches regarding
CCMBC Legacy’s/CCMBC Investments’ holdings with Capstone Asset Management, we would
like to provide a brief clarification.
The CCMBC Pension Plan assets are entirely separate from CCMBC Investments, CCMBC
Legacy, and CCMBC. Pension assets are invested exclusively in the ClearPath Index Plus
target-date fund family managed by Fidelity Investments Canada. Canada Life serves as the
record keeper of our pension plan.
As a result, CCMBC pension plan members are not affected in any way by the matters
described in the February 4, 2026 communication. The pension plan has no exposure to
Capstone Asset Management, its funds, or its underlying investments.
We confidently assure you that pension investments remain unchanged and are not connected
to the Capstone developments.

We wish to inform Mennonite Brethren Church Legacy Account Holders (“Account Holders”) of recent events that may affect you and to outline the steps we are taking in response.
Recent Events
As you are aware, CCMBC Legacy Fund Inc. (“CCMBC Legacy”) provides financial and administrative services to the conferences, churches, agencies, and employees of the Canadian Conference of Mennonite Brethren Churches. Capstone Asset Management Inc. (“Capstone”) is engaged by CCMBC Legacy to provide portfolio management services to the funds held by CCMBC Legacy. Capstone invests in different funds, including what are commonly known as “funds of funds”, namely investment funds that invest in other investment funds.
We were recently informed by Capstone that CCMBC Legacy will experience a December 2025 write-down in three of these underlying funds, totaling $3.3 million.
We estimate that these adjustments will result in year end 2025 negative net unrestricted assets of approximately $5.2 million for CCMBC Legacy. In other words, our total obligation of $41 million to Account Holders exceeds the value of our assets by $5.2 million, or 12.7%.
Implications and Actions Taken
Commentary
This communication is intended to inform all stakeholders and provide Account Holders adequate time to make informed decisions. While CCMBC Legacy is not required to proactively send this communication, we believe it is our moral responsibility to communicate clearly with our stakeholders. Our third value states: “We steward resources on God’s behalf. We exercise care and integrity as we oversee the funds and ministry assets entrusted to us. We demonstrate accountability and transparency in our reporting, policies, and actions.”
Although periodic losses can occur within any investment portfolio, we recognize the significance of these developments and the importance of capital preservation. In 2025, we proactively initiated an asset allocation study with a third party consultant and implemented a capital adequacy policy to support long term financial stability. The study and the capital adequacy policy will help inform our strategic plan in connection with the write-downs described above.
As we navigate the complexity of these interrelated matters, we ask for your prayers. Our first value reminds us that: “We operate in dependence on God. We live in prayerful and obedient attentiveness to God - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We seek to glorify His name.” May He guide our next steps.

We wish to inform our investors in CCMBC Investments Ltd. (“CCMBC Investments”) of recent events that may affect you and to outline the steps we are taking in response.
Recent Events
As you are aware, CCMBC Investments runs the lending program to our Churches and Church organizations. As part of the program, we have taken in more money than required for such loans. The excess funds received over and above CCMBC Investments’ lending needs are managed by a portfolio manager, Capstone Asset Management Inc. (“Capstone”), engaged by CCMBC Investments to provide portfolio management services. Capstone has invested such excess funds in different funds, including what are commonly known as “funds of funds”, namely investment funds that invest in other investment funds.
We were recently informed by Capstone that CCMBC Investments will experience a December 2025 write-down in three of these underlying funds, totaling $8.9 million.
We estimate that these adjustments will result in year end 2025 negative net unrestricted assets of approximately $5.6 million for CCMBC Investments. In other words, our total obligation of $114 million under the Notes exceeds the value of our assets by $5.6 million, or 4.9%.
