   <p align="justify">EDMONTON, Alberta, Oct.  29, 2021  (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Stantec (TSX, NYSE: STN), a global leader in sustainable design and engineering, today announced that it has completed an agreement to amend and extend its existing $1.1 billion syndicated senior credit facilities (the &#8220;Credit Facilities&#8221;). Pursuant to the amendment, the maturity date for the $800 million revolving credit facility and the $160 million term loan tranche has been extended to October 29, 2026, and the maturity date for the $150 million term loan tranche has been extended to October 29, 2024.<br ></p>    <p align="justify">The Credit Facilities are structured as a sustainability-linked loan (&#8220;SLL&#8221;), aligning Stantec&#8217;s financing strategy with its continued commitment towards environmental, social and governance (&#8220;ESG&#8221;) leadership. The SLL has an interest rate incentive mechanism that aligns the cost of funding with targets linked to Stantec&#8217;s:</p>    <ul type="disc"><li>GHG emissions reduction targets which are aligned with the Science-Based Target Initiative (&#8220;SBTi&#8221;); and</li><li>Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index score (&#8220;GEI score&#8221;).&#160;</li></ul>    <p align="justify">Any savings realized on the Credit Facilities from achieving these goals will be directed toward activities or organizations that have a positive influence on environmental or social matters.&#160;</p>    <p align="justify">&#8220;Stantec is very proud to be the first organization globally to link its SLL to the Bloomberg GEI score, and the first in Canada to direct proceeds back into the communities we serve to further climate action and social equity,&#8221; said Theresa Jang, Chief Financial Officer and Chair of Stantec&#8217;s Executive ESG Committee. &#8220;Aligning our corporate financing strategy with our ESG performance demonstrates our commitment to live by our core value of doing what is right.&#8221;</p>    <p align="justify">Earlier in the year, Stantec committed to setting a 1.5&#176;C Science-Based Target with a baseline of 2019. These GHG emission reduction targets have now been verified by the SBTi. The Bloomberg GEI score is linked to certain social pillars around gender equality, pay equity, leadership diversity, and inclusive culture, among others. This will be the first SLL globally to link the financing structure to progress made relative to the score. Stantec is a strong advocate for social causes related to pay equity, female representation, and diversity at work.</p>    <p align="justify">CIBC is Sole Bookrunner on the Credit Facilities, and CIBC and RBC acted as Co-Sustainability Structuring Agents.</p>    <p><strong>About Stantec</strong></p>    <p align="justify">Communities are fundamental. Whether around the corner or across the globe, they provide a foundation, a sense of place and of belonging. That's why at Stantec, we always <strong>design with community in mind</strong>.</p>    <p align="justify">We care about the communities we serve&#8212;because they're our communities too.
