Table of Contents 6 Management’s Discussion and Analysis 176 Shareholder Information 94 Consolidated Financial Statements CHAIRMAN’S LETTER Dear Shareholders, In our business, we are measured by the investments we make and their performance under our ownership. Over 32 years, we have built more than 85 operating companies. From our private equity activities, we have generated a gross multiple of capital invested of 2.8 times, resulting in a 28 percent gross IRR. Perhaps equally as important, if not more so, are the many opportunities we looked at but did not pursue. Some we may regret, but many we don’t. The benefit of experience, success and some failures along the way has taught us what we are good at and what we should avoid. This past year – marred by steep commodity price declines and a shaken oil and gas sector – is a great reminder of why a consistent approach to investing is fundamental to longevity in this business. No doubt many investors prospered during the boom in extractive industries. We were not one of them, nor do we now suffer from the sector’s volatility. Our investing culture is deeply rooted in opportunities where we can effect change rather than rely on macro-economic or industry trends to create long-term value. That is why our team is comfortable being so heavily invested alongside you in everything we do. We had a productive year in 2015. We invested close to $2.5 billion through our private equity Funds, of which Onex’ direct share was more than $750 million. Europe was a particularly bright spot for us, with two acquisitions completed in the region. We also enjoyed robust growth in our credit platform with assets under management growing to $6.5 billion – a 30 percent increase versus the prior year. Here are some of the highlights: • Onex Partners invested $2.3 billion of capital in: – Survitec Group, a market-leading provider of marine and aerospace survival equipment, and its add-on investment in Survival Craft Inspectorate, a supplier of certified lifeboat-related safety equipment and services, both based in the United Kingdom; – SIG Combibloc Group, a global provider of aseptic packaging machines and cartons based in Switzerland; – Jack’s Family Restaurants, a regional quick-service restaurant operator based in the southern United States; – Schumacher Clinical Partners, and its subsequent add-on investment in Hospital Physician Partners, the third- and fourth-largest U.S. providers of outsourced emergency room and hospital clinical staffing, respectively; • ONCAP invested approximately $160 million of capital in: – – Chatters Canada, the largest retailer of professional hair care products in Canada and one of the largest hair salon operators in the country; Ingersoll Tools Group, a global leader in the manufacturing of consumable components that are part of agricultural soil preparation and seeding equipment. It is also a leading provider of branded manual hand tools to the agricultural, construction and gardening end markets. – Mavis Discount Tire’s add-on acquisition of Somerset Tire Service, one of the largest tire chains in the United States; • The value of Onex’ interest in our private equity investments, including realizations and distributions, grew by 12 percent; • Our businesses raised or refinanced approximately $1.9 billion of debt; • Total distributions to Onex and its partners of $1.4 billion, of which $655 million originated from debt raised or refinanced; • Onex Credit continued to grow its collateralized loan obligation (“CLO”) pools with three offerings, totalling more than $2 billion; and • Onex Credit called its first CLO, which generated an 18 percent net IRR on Onex’ investment over our three-year holding period. During the year, our share price increased 26 percent compared to an 11 percent decrease in the TSX. While our share price benefited from the depreciation of the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar, Onex’ shares increased 5 percent in U.S. dollars versus a 1 percent decrease in the S&P 500. The financial markets are off to a very poor start in 2016. Thankfully, another one of our unwavering strategies keeps us safe: maintenance of a very liquid, debt-free balance sheet. Today we have more than $2 billion of cash, nearly $3 billion of undrawn capital commitments and no debt. While we never really enjoy poor market conditions, with plenty of resources and a great team of professionals we feel well-positioned to benefit from the current investment climate. From all of us at Onex, we thank you for your continued support. 176 Shareholder Information Gerald W. Schwartz Chairman & Chief Executive Officer, Onex Corporation [signed] Onex Corporation December 31, 2015 1 ONEX CORPORATION More Than 30 Years of Successful Investing Founded in 1984, Onex is one of the oldest and most successful private equity firms. Through its Onex Partners and ONCAP private equity funds, Onex acquires and builds high-quality businesses in partnership with talented management teams. At Onex Credit, Onex manages and invests in leveraged loans, collateralized loan obliga- tions (“CLOs”) and other credit securities. The Company has approximately $22.5 billion of assets under man- agement, including $6.0 billion of Onex’ capital. Onex is guided by an ownership culture focused on achieving strong absolute growth, with an emphasis on capital preservation. We have built more than 85 operating businesses, completing about 525 acquisitions with a total value of $61 billion. In private equity, Onex has generated a gross multiple of capital invested of 2.8 times from its private equity activities since inception, resulting in a 28 percent gross IRR on realized, substantially realized and pub- licly traded investments. Our credit business has grown considerably since 2007, driven primarily by the success of our CLO platform. With an experienced management team, significant financial resources and no debt at the parent company, Onex is well-positioned to continue building our businesses. Onex’ Capital At December 31, 2015, Onex’ $6.0 billion of capital was primarily invested in or committed to its two private equity platforms – Onex Partners (for larger transactions) and ONCAP (for mid-market transactions) – and its credit platform, Onex Credit. One of Onex’ long-term goals is to grow its capital per share by 15 percent per year, and to have that growth reflected in its share price. In the year ended December 31, 2015, Onex’ capital per share increased by 1 percent in U.S. dollars (20 percent in Canadian dollars) and our share price grew by 5 percent in U.S. dollars (26 percent in Canadian dollars). The growth in Onex’ capital was impacted by a meaningful portion of Onex’ capital being held in cash and near-cash items due to significant realizations in 2014. During 2015 and through February 25, 2016, Onex invested approximately $940 million of its cash through its private equity and credit platforms. Over the past five years, Onex’ capital per share increased by 10 percent per year in U.S. dollars (17 percent per year in Canadian dollars).

These investors include public and private pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, banks and insurance compa- nies. One of Onex’ long-term goals is to grow its fee-generating capital by 10 percent per year. In the year ended December 31, 2015, fee-generating capital under management grew by 10 percent to $14.8 billion. Over the past five years, fee-generating capital under management increased by 11 percent per year. The management of other investors’ capital provides two significant benefits. First, Onex is entitled to receive a committed stream of annual management fees on $14.8 billion of assets under management. Second, Onex has the opportunity to share in its investors’ profits through the carried interest participation. Carried interest, if realized, can significantly enhance Onex’ investment returns. In 2015, combined management fees and carried interest received more than offset ongoing operating expenses. Today, Onex has run-rate management fees of approximately $130 million for the next 12 months, consisting of $92 million from its private equity platforms and $38 million from Onex Credit.

Onex Corporation December 31, 2015 3 HOW WE ARE INVESTED All dollar amounts, unless otherwise noted, are in millions of U.S. dollars. This How We Are Invested schedule details Onex’ $6.0 billion of capital and provides private company perfor- mance and public company ownership information. This schedule includes values for Onex’ investments in controlled companies based on estimated fair values prepared by management. The presentation of controlled investments in this manner is a non-GAAP measure. This fair value summary may be used by investors to com- pare to fair values they may prepare for Onex and Onex’ investments. While it provides a snapshot of Onex’ assets, this schedule does not fully reflect the value of Onex’ asset management business as it includes only an estimate of the unrealized carried interest due to Onex based on the current values of the investments and allocates no value to the management company income. The presentation of Onex’ capital in this manner does not have a standardized meaning prescribed under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and is therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Onex’ consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS for the year ended December 31, 2015 are available on Onex’ website, www.onex.com, and on the Canadian System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval (“SEDAR”) at www.sedar.com. Reconciliation to information contained in the consolidated financial statements has not been presented as it is impractical.

Fully diluted shares include all outstanding SVS and outstanding stock options that have met the minimum 25% price appreciation threshold. (11) The change in Onex’ Capital per Share is impacted by the fair value changes of Onex’ investments. Share repurchases and options exercised during the year will have an impact on the calculation of Onex’ Capital per Share to the extent that the price for share repurchases and option exercises is above or below Onex’ Capital per Share. 4 Onex Corporation December 31, 2015 H O W W E A R E I N V E S T E D Public Companies As at December 31, 2015 Onex Partners – Genesis Healthcare(2) Direct Investments – Celestica(3) Significant Private Companies As at December 31, 2015 Onex Partners AIT BBAM(6) Carestream Health Emerald Expositions Jack’s JELD-WEN Meridian Aviation ResCare Schumacher sgsco(15) SIG Survitec USI York Public and Private Company Information Shares Subject to Carried Interest (millions) Shares Held by Onex (millions) 10.7 – 3.5 17.9 Closing Price per Share(1) $ 3.47 $ 11.03 Onex’ and its Limited Partners’ Ownership LTM EBITDA(4) Net Debt Cumulative Distributions Onex’ Economic Ownership 40% 50% 91% 99% 95% 83%(12) 100% 98% 71% 93% 99% 99% 88% 88% n/a $ 123 360 147(8) 49(9) 313(13) n/a 143 103(8) 112(8) 1 436 £ 50(8) 346(8) 104(8) n/a (51)(7) $ 1,908 734 265(10) 1,174(13) n/a 552 521 572 1 2,583 275 £ 1,901 944 $ 42(5) 220 1,311 – – 432 85 235 – – – – 230 – 9% 13% 33%(3) 24% 28% 21%(12) 25% 20% 21% 23% 33% 22% 25% 29% Market Value of Onex’ Investment $ 12 198 $ 210 Original Cost of Onex’ Investment $ 45 47 186 119 79 (11) 217 (14) 19 41 93 66 405 (16) 76 (17) 170 173 $ 1,736 (1) Closing prices on December 31, 2015.

Onex has gener- ated a gross multiple of capital invested of 2.8 times from its private equity activities since inception on realized, substantially realized and publicly traded investments. In our credit platform, we seek to generate strong risk- adjusted returns across market cycles. Investment approach Over more than three decades, we have developed a successful approach to investing. In private equity, we pur- sue businesses with world-class capabilities and strong free cash flow characteristics where we have identified an opportunity, in partnership with company management, to effect change and build market leaders. As an active owner, we are focused on execution rather than macro-economic or industry trends. Specifically, we focus on: (i) cost reduction and operational restructurings; (ii) platforms for add-on acquisitions; and (iii) carve-outs of subsidiaries and mission-critical supply divisions from multinational corporations. Historically, we have been relatively conservative with the use of financial leverage, which has served Onex and its businesses well through many cycles. In addition, we typically acquire a control position, which allows us to drive important strategic decisions and effect change at our businesses. Onex does not get involved in the daily operating decisions of the businesses. In our credit platform, we practise value-oriented investing with bottom-up, fundamental and structural analy- sis. We generally invest in larger, more actively traded issues with a long-term view on expected outcomes. Our top-down approach to portfolio construction, risk control and liquidity management complements our investment research. We maintain disciplined risk management with a focus on capital preservation across all strategies. We do so by selecting credits with seniority in the capital structure of companies with stable cash flows and substantial asset values. Experienced team with significant depth Onex is led by an Executive Committee comprised of the firm’s founder and CEO, Gerry Schwartz, and four Senior Managing Directors. Collectively, these executives have more than 135 years of investing experience and have worked at Onex for an average of 24 years. Onex’ stability results from its ownership culture, rigorous recruiting standards and highly collegial environment. Onex’ 82 investment professionals are each dedicated to a separate investment platform: Onex Part- ners (49), ONCAP (19) and Onex Credit (14). These investment teams are supported by more than 70 professionals dedicated to Onex’ corporate functions and its investment platforms. Onex Corporation December 31, 2015 7 M A N A G E M E N T ’ S D I S C U S S I O N A N D A N A LY S I S Substantial financial resources available for future growth Onex’ policy is to maintain a financially strong parent company with funds available for new acquisitions and to support the growth of its businesses. Onex’ financial strength comes from both its own capital, as well as the capital commitments from its limited partners in the Onex Partners and ONCAP Funds. At December 31, 2015, Onex had substantial financial resources available to support its investing strategy with: • approximately $2.1 billion of cash and near-cash items and no debt; • $2.8 billion of limited partners’ uncalled capital available for future Onex Partners IV investments; and • C$148 million of limited partners’ uncalled capital available for future ONCAP III investments. In June 2015, Onex’ increased commitment to Onex Partners IV became effective, increasing by $500 million to $1.7 billion. The increased commitment did not change Onex’ ownership of businesses acquired prior to June 3, 2015. The acquisition of Jack’s Family Restaurants (“Jack’s”) in July 2015 was the first investment reflecting Onex’ increased commitment. Strong alignment of interests Critical to our success is the strong alignment of interests between Onex’ shareholders, our limited partners and the Onex management team. In addition to Onex being the largest limited partner in each private equity fund and having meaningful investments in our credit platform, the Company’s distinctive ownership culture requires the management team to have a significant ownership in Onex shares and to invest meaningfully in each operating business acquired. At December 31, 2015, the Onex management team: • was the largest shareholder in Onex, with a combined holding of approximately 24 million shares, or 22 per- cent of outstanding shares, and had invested in 0.7 million Deferred Share Units (“DSUs”); had a total cash investment in Onex’ current operating businesses of approximately $350 million; and had a total investment at market in Onex Credit strategies of approximately $275 million. • • As well, the Onex management team is required to reinvest 25 percent of all Onex Partners carried interest and Management Investment Plan (“MIP”) distributions in Onex shares until they individually own at least one million shares and hold these shares until retirement. OUR OBJECTIVE: Onex’ business objective is to create long-term value for shareholders and to have that value reflected in our share price. Our strategies to deliver this value are concentrated on (i) acquiring and building industry-leading businesses and (ii) managing and growing other investors’ capital in our private equity and credit platforms. We believe Onex has the investment philosophy, human resources, financial resources and track record to continue to deliver on its objective. The discussion that follows outlines Onex’ strategies and reviews how we performed relative to those strategies in 2015. 8 Onex Corporation December 31, 2015 M A N A G E M E N T ’ S D I S C U S S I O N A N D A N A LY S I S OUR STRATEGIES Acquiring and building industry-leading businesses The growth in Onex’ capital will be driven by the success of our private equity investments. Our private equity investing strategy focuses on an active ownership approach of acquiring and building industry-leading businesses in partnership with talented management teams. The value of Onex’ private equity investments, including realizations and distributions, increased by 12 percent during 2015. One of Onex’ long-term goals is to grow its capital per share by 15 percent per year. Including the impact of cash, carried interest and other investments, Onex’ capital per share grew by 1 percent in U.S. dollars (20 percent in Canadian dollars) for the year ended December 31, 2015 to $54.39 (C$75.27) from $54.11 (C$62.77) at December 31, 2014. Over the past five years, Onex’ capital per share increased by 10 percent per year in U.S. dollars (17 percent per year in Canadian dollars).

During 2015 and early 2016, Jack’s made repayments of the promissory note totalling $166 million, including accrued interest, with net proceeds from sale-leaseback transactions completed for certain of its fee-owned restaurant properties. Onex’ share of the repayments was $48 million. (3) The ONCAP III Group’s investment in Chatters was C$55 million ($43 million), of which Onex’ share was C$16 million ($13 million).

Onex’ investment was comprised of $8 million through ONCAP III and $17 million as a co-investment. Onex Corporation December 31, 2015 9 M A N A G E M E N T ’ S D I S C U S S I O N A N D A N A LY S I S Acquiring businesses Despite a competitive acquisition environment in both North America and Europe, we had a very active year completing six new investments – Survitec Group Limited (“Survitec”), SIG Combibloc Group Holdings S.a.r.l. (“SIG”), Ingersoll Tools Group (“ITG”), Jack’s, Chatters Canada (“Chatters”) and Schumacher Clinical Partners (“Schumacher”). In March 2015, the Onex Partners IV Group acquired Survitec for £450 million ($670 million). Based in the United Kingdom, Survitec is a market-leading provider of mission-critical marine, defence and aerospace survival equipment. The Onex Partners IV Group invested $322 million, of which Onex’ share was $73 million, for substantially all of the equity. In September 2015, Survitec acquired Survival Craft Inspectorate Limited (“SCI”) for up to £45 million ($68 million). The purchase price consisted of £32 million ($49 million) paid on closing of the transaction and an additional amount of up to £13 million ($19 million) payable based on the future performance of SCI. Based in the United Kingdom, SCI is a supplier of certified lifeboat-related safety equipment and services. In connection with this transaction, the Onex Partners IV Group invested £9 million ($13 million) in Survitec, of which Onex’ share was £2 million ($3 million). In March 2015, the Onex Partners IV Group acquired SIG in a transaction valued at up to €4,040 million ($4,250 million). Based in Switzerland, SIG provides food and beverage producers with a comprehensive prod- uct portfolio of aseptic carton packaging filling systems, aseptic carton packaging sleeves, spouts and caps, as well as after-market support services. The purchase price consisted of €3,865 million ($4,067 million) paid on closing of the transaction and an additional amount of up to €175 million ($183 million) payable based on SIG’s financial performance in 2015 and 2016. The Onex Partners IV Group’s equity investment in SIG was completed in U.S. dollars in the amount of $1,215 million for substantially all of the equity. Onex’ investment in SIG totalled $405 million and was comprised of $131 million through Onex Partners IV and $274 million as a co-investment. At December 31, 2015, SIG had revised its estimate of the additional amount to €125 million ($136 mil- lion), resulting in a recovery of €50 million ($55 million). The amount represented management’s best estimate of the fair value at December 31, 2015, which is subject to sensitivity associated with various factors, including foreign currency fluctuations, as well as uncertainty regarding the treatment of certain items. In June 2015, the ONCAP III Group completed its investment in ITG. Based in Canada and Spain, ITG is a global leader in the manufacturing of consumable wear components that are embedded into agricultural soil preparation and seeding equipment implements. ITG is also a leading provider of branded manual hand tools to the agricul- tural, construction and gardening end markets in the United States, Iberia and Latin America. The ONCAP III Group invested $70 million for joint control of ITG, of which Onex’ share was $21 million. 10 Onex Corporation December 31, 2015 M A N A G E M E N T ’ S D I S C U S S I O N A N D A N A LY S I S In July 2015, the Onex Partners IV Group acquired Jack’s, a regional premium quick-service restaurant opera- tor based in the United States, for $640 million. The Onex Partners IV Group initially invested $415 million, of which Onex’ portion was $120 million. The Onex Partners IV Group’s initial investment in Jack’s consisted of an equity investment of $220 million (Onex’ share – $63 million) and a $195 million promissory note (Onex’ share – $57 million). During 2015 and early 2016, Jack’s made repayments of the promissory note totalling $166 million, including accrued interest, with net proceeds from sale-leaseback transactions completed for certain of its fee- owned restaurant properties. Onex’ share of the repayments was $48 million. In July 2015, the ONCAP III Group completed the acquisition of Chatters. Based in Canada, Chatters is a retailer and distributor of hair and beauty care products as well as an operator and franchisor of hair and beauty salons. The ONCAP III Group invested C$55 million ($43 million) in Chatters, of which Onex’ share was C$16 million ($13 million). In late July 2015, the Onex Partners IV Group acquired Schumacher for $690 million. Based in the United States, Schumacher is a leading provider of emergency and hospital medicine physician practice management services. The Onex Partners IV Group invested $219 million, of which Onex’ portion was $63 million. In August 2015, Schumacher acquired Hospital Physician Partners (“HPP”), a provider of emergency and hospital medicine physician practice management services in the United States, for $271 million. In connection with this transaction, the Onex Partners IV Group made an add-on investment in Schumacher of $105 million and the balance of the equity was funded by an investment from the management of HPP and Schumacher and other investors. Onex’ share of the add-on investment in Schumacher was $30 million. The remainder of the purchase price was financed by Schumacher with proceeds from its amended senior secured facility and cash from Schumacher’s balance sheet. Building businesses During 2015 and up to February 25, 2016, 12 of our operating businesses, including Schumacher and Survitec, completed follow-on acquisitions for total consideration of approximately $700 million. In addition, in August 2015, Mavis Tire Supply LLC (“Mavis Discount Tire”) acquired Somerset Tire Service (“STS”), one of the largest tire chains in the United States. In conjunction with this transaction, the ONCAP III Group invested $48 million, comprised of $27 million from ONCAP III and $21 million as a co-investment from Onex and certain limited partners. Onex’ total add-on investment of $25 million in Mavis Discount Tire was com- prised of $8 million through ONCAP III and $17 million as a co-investment. Subsequent to the add-on invest- ment, the ONCAP III Group has a 46 percent economic interest in Mavis Discount Tire and Onex increased its economic ownership to 17 percent from 14 percent.

This contributed to Onex and its partners receiving distributions from these oper- ating businesses of $655 million. During the same period, our existing operating businesses collectively paid down debt totalling approximately $310 million.

In July and December 2015, our real estate platform sold substantially all of the retail space and adjoining parking structures of Flushing Town Center, receiving net proceeds of $136 million, of which Onex’ share was $119 million. Included in the net proceeds is $8 million held in escrow, of which Onex’ share is $7 million. Onex Real Estate Partners continues to develop the second phase of condominiums at the project. 12 Onex Corporation December 31, 2015 M A N A G E M E N T ’ S D I S C U S S I O N A N D A N A LY S I S In August 2015, USI Insurance Services (“USI”) entered into an incremental senior secured term loan facility of $230 million, the proceeds of which were used primarily to fund a distribution of $230 million to shareholders. The Onex Partners III Group’s portion of the distribution to shareholders was $181 million, of which Onex’ por- tion was $51 million. The balance of the proceeds was primarily distributed to employees of USI. In August 2015, the Onex Partners III Group sold its investment in Tropicana Las Vegas, Inc. (“Tropicana Las Vegas”) for an enterprise value of $360 million. The Onex Partners III Group’s total net proceeds were $230 million compared to its investments of $320 million. The investment in Tropicana Las Vegas generated a gross multiple of invested capital of approximately 0.7 times. Onex’ portion of the total net proceeds was $50 million compared to its investments of $70 million. In August 2015, PURE Canadian Gaming Corp. (“PURE Canadian Gaming”) distributed C$25 million to share- holders, which was primarily backed by the company’s free cash flow generated during the year. The ONCAP II and ONCAP III Groups’ portion of the distribution was C$23 million ($18 million), of which Onex’ portion was C$10 million ($8 million). In September 2015, Onex sold its entire investment in SITEL Worldwide Corporation (“Sitel Worldwide”) for an enterprise value of approximately $830 million. Onex’ proceeds were $53 million, which consisted of $33 million received in cash and an estimated earn-out component that may be received of approximately $20 million, compared to its investments of $320 million, resulting in a gross multiple of capital invested of 0.2 times. In October 2015, Meridian Aviation Partners Limited (“Meridian Aviation”) completed a distribution of $85 mil- lion to the Onex Partners III Group, of which Onex’ share was $21 million. The distribution was funded from cash on hand at Meridian Aviation, which was primarily from gains on investments in aircraft. During 2015, Advanced Integration Technology LP (“AIT”) completed distributions of $30 million, including a purchase price adjustment, to the Onex Partners IV Group, of which Onex’ share was $7 million. The distribu- tions were funded by the company’s free cash flow generated during the year. In addition, during 2015, BBAM Limited Partnership (“BBAM”) completed distributions of $52 million to the Onex Partners III Group, of which Onex’ share was $13 million. The distributions were funded by the company’s free cash flow generated during the year. In January 2016, the Onex Partners III Group entered into an agreement to sell KraussMaffei Group GmbH (“KraussMaffei”) for a cash enterprise value of approximately €925 million. Under the terms of the agree- ment, the Onex Partners III Group will receive net proceeds of approximately €670 million. Onex’ portion will be approximately €180 million, including estimated carried interest of €12 million and after the reduction for the amounts on account of the MIP. By early 2016, the Onex Partners III Group had hedged the foreign exchange exposure for substantially all of its estimated net proceeds. The transaction is expected to close during the first half of 2016 and is subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. Onex Corporation December 31, 2015 13 M A N A G E M E N T ’ S D I S C U S S I O N A N D A N A LY S I S Managing and growing other investors’ capital Onex’ management of other investors’ capital has grown significantly since 1999 when it raised its first ONCAP Fund for mid-market transactions. In 2003, the first Onex Partners Fund was raised for larger transactions. Through December 31, 2015, Onex had raised $11.8 billion of limited partners’ capital through seven Onex Partners and ONCAP Funds. Our mid-market private equity fund, ONCAP III, has invested C$389 million of third-party capital in seven businesses. Onex is now in a position to raise ONCAP IV as ONCAP III is more than 75 percent invested as of December 31, 2015. In 2007, Onex began developing its credit platform by acquiring a 50 percent interest in an investment advisor focused on credit investing which, at that time, managed $300 million. The business has grown considerably and Onex has increased its ownership interest over the years. In 2012, Onex began investing capital in Onex Credit’s CLO platform to support its growth. In 2014, Onex Credit established a presence in London to focus on the placement of European CLOs and currently has a warehouse facility in place in anticipation of its first one. To date, Onex Credit has closed 10 CLOs, with offerings of securities and loans totalling approximately $5.8 billion. At December 31, 2015, other investors’ capital under management related to these CLOs was $5.2 billion. In January 2015, Onex acquired control of the investment advisor and now has a 100 percent owner- ship interest for accounting purposes. Today, our credit business manages below investment-grade debt through several investment strategies comprising event-driven, long/short, long-only, stressed and distressed opportuni- ties, including two closed-end funds listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX: OCS-UN and OSL-UN), as well as a CLO platform. Through December 31, 2015, Onex Credit had raised $6.9 billion of other investors’ capital through its various strategies and is focused on growing its other strategies through various product lines and distribution channels. The management of other investors’ capital provides two significant benefits to Onex: (i) the Company earns management fees on $14.8 billion of assets under management and (ii) Onex has the opportunity to share in the profits of its investors through the carried interest and incentive fee participation. This enables Onex to enhance the return from its investment activities. In 2015, combined management fees, carried interest and incentive fees received more than offset ongoing operating expenses. Onex Partners, ONCAP and Onex Credit earned a total of $141 million in management and transaction fees in 2015 (2014 – $99 million), and today Onex has run-rate management fees of approximately $130 million for the next 12 months. Onex Partners and ONCAP contribute $92 million to the run-rate management fees for the next 12 months. Onex does not earn any management fees on the $4.4 billion of capital it has invested or committed to the Onex Partners and ONCAP Funds. The additional run-rate fees that would be earned on this capital if it were subject to the same management fees as other investors is $35 million. Onex Credit contributes $38 million to the run-rate management fees for the next 12 months, which includes $3 million of management fees earned on Onex’ approximately $700 million of capital invested in Onex Credit. 14 Onex Corporation December 31, 2015 M A N A G E M E N T ’ S D I S C U S S I O N A N D A N A LY S I S One of Onex’ long-term goals is to grow its fee-generating capital by 10 percent per year. During 2015, fee- generating capital under management grew by 10 percent to $14.8 billion primarily due to the completion of three CLOs by Onex Credit. Over the past five years, fee-generating capital under management increased by 11 percent per year. At December 31, 2015, Onex’ share of the unrealized carried interest on Onex Partners’ operating businesses was $178 million based on the fair values compared to $115 million at December 31, 2014. The amount of unrealized carried interest on Onex Partners’ businesses has increased since December 31, 2014 due to fair value increases of certain businesses during 2015. The actual amount of carried interest realized by Onex will depend on the ultimate performance of each fund. At December 31, 2015, Onex managed $16.5 billion of other investors’ capital, in addition to $6.0 billion of Onex’ capital.

(3) The principal repayments of the promissory note by Jack’s, as described on page 28 of this MD&A, increased the uncalled commitments for Onex Partners Funds. (4) Onex obtained a controlling interest in Onex Credit in January 2015. At December 31, 2014, Onex Credit was jointly controlled by Onex. Capital under management of Onex Credit at December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 represents 100 percent of the other investors’ capital managed by Onex Credit. The amount of other investors’ capital under management will fluctuate as new capital is raised and existing investments are realized. During 2015, this capital increased by $1.8 billion primarily due to: • $358 million co-invested by certain limited partners in SIG; • a net increase of $1.5 billion from Onex Credit primarily from the creation of CLO-8, CLO-9 and CLO-10, partially offset by the redemption of CLO-1; and • a net increase of approximately $1.2 billion from the fair value of Onex Partners and ONCAP investments. Partially offsetting these increases in other investors’ capital during 2015 were distributions to investors in the Onex Partners and ONCAP Funds of approximately $900 million and the impact of foreign exchange. Onex Corporation December 31, 2015 15 M A N A G E M E N T ’ S D I S C U S S I O N A N D A N A LY S I S Performance Private equity The ability to raise new capital commitments is dependent on the fundraising environment generally and the track record Onex has achieved with the investment and management of prior funds.

Through December 31, 2015, Onex had a net investment after dispositions and distributions of $331 million in remaining CLOs, including $21 million for a warehouse facility of a CLO. In June 2015, the Company redeemed its first CLO, CLO-1. In aggregate, Onex received $53 million of proceeds and distributions related to CLO-1 compared to its original investment of $38 million, generating an 18 percent Net IRR. Market pricing for CLO equity is more volatile than the underlying leveraged loan market due to the leverage employed in a CLO and the relative illiquidity of CLO equity. CLO equity pricing may also be affected by changes in fixed income market sentiment and in investors’ general appetites for risk. Volatility in the lever- aged loan market, particularly in the energy and commodities sectors, caused underlying loan prices in all sec- tors to decline during the second half of 2015, reducing the market value of our CLOs’ portfolios. As a result, Onex experienced an unrealized loss on its investments in CLOs of $94 million during 2015. All of Onex’ CLOs remain comfortably onside their various coverage tests, and Onex received $53 million of distributions from its CLO investments during the year. Onex’ share price performance Our goal is to have the value of our investing and asset management activities reflected in our share price. These efforts are supported by a long-standing quarterly dividend and an active stock buyback program. In May 2015, Onex announced that it would be increasing its quarterly dividend by 25 percent to C$0.0625 per Subordinate Voting Share (“SVS”) beginning in July 2015. This increase follows similar increases in 2013 and 2014 and reflects Onex’ success and ongoing commitment to its shareholders. During 2015, $19 million was returned to shareholders through dividends and Onex repurchased 3,084,877 SVS at a total cost of $175 million (C$218 million), or an average purchase price of $56.83 per share (C$70.70). At December 31, 2015, Onex’ SVS closed at C$84.82, a 26 percent increase from December 31, 2014. This compares to an 11 percent decrease in the S&P/TSX Composite Index (“TSX”).

C O N S O L I D A T E D O P E R A T I N G R E S U L T S Business combinations In a business combination, substantially all identifiable This section should be read in conjunction with Onex’ assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired are consolidated statements of earnings and corresponding recorded at the date of acquisition at their respective fair notes thereto. Critical accounting policies and estimates Significant accounting estimates and judgements Onex prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS. The preparation of the MD&A and consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgements, assumptions and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabili- ties and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses for the periods of the consolidated financial statements. Onex and its operating companies evaluate their estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis and any revisions are recognized in the affected periods. Included in Onex’ con- solidated financial statements are estimates used in deter- mining the allowance for doubtful accounts, provisions for uncompensated care, inventory valuation, deferred tax assets and liabilities, intangible assets and goodwill, use- ful lives of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, revenue recognition under contract accounting, income taxes, the fair value of investments in joint ventures and associates, the fair value of Limited Partners’ Interests, stock-based compensation, pension and post-employment benefits, warranty provisions, restructuring provisions, legal contingencies and other matters. Actual results could differ materially from those assumptions and estimates. Significant judgements are used in the determi- nation of fair value for business combinations, Limited Partners’ Interests, carried interest and investments in joint ventures and associates. Onex has used significant judge- ment when determining control of structured entities. The assessment of goodwill, intangible assets and long-lived assets for impairment, income taxes, legal contingencies and actuarial valuations of pension and other post-retire- ment benefits also requires the use of significant judge- ment by Onex and its operating companies. values. One of the most significant estimates relates to the determination of the fair value of these assets and liabili- ties. Land, buildings and equipment are usually indepen- dently appraised while short-term investments are valued at market prices. If any intangible assets are identified, depending on the type of intangible asset and the complex- ity of determining its fair value, an independent external valuation expert may determine the fair value. These valu- ations are linked closely to the assumptions made by man- agement regarding the future performance of the assets concerned and any changes in the discount rate applied. Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements provides additional disclosure on business combinations. Limited Partners’ Interests, carried interest and investments in joint ventures and associates The measurement of the Limited Partners’ Interests for the Onex Partners and ONCAP Funds, carried interest and investments in joint ventures and associates is significantly impacted by the fair values of the investments held by the Onex Partners and ONCAP Funds. Joint ventures and associates are defined under IFRS as those investments in operating businesses over which Onex has joint control or significant influence, but not control. In accordance with IFRS, certain of these investments are designated, upon initial recognition, at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of investments in joint ventures and associates is assessed at each reporting date with changes in fair value recognized in the consolidated statements of earnings. Similarly, the Limited Partners’ Interests for the Onex Partners and ONCAP Funds represent the interests of limited partner investors, and carried interest, represent- ing the General Partner’s share of the net gains of the Onex Partners and ONCAP Funds, is recorded at fair value. The fair value is significantly affected by the change in the fair value of the underlying investments in the Onex Partners and ONCAP Funds.

Recent accounting pronouncements Revenue from Contracts with Customers In May 2014, the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) issued IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Cus tomers, which provides a comprehensive five-step revenue recognition model for all contracts with customers. IFRS 15 requires management to exercise significant judgement and make estimates that affect revenue recognition. IFRS 15 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, with earlier application permitted. Onex is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on its con- solidated financial statements. Financial Instruments In July 2014, the IASB issued a final version of IFRS 9, Finan cial Instruments, which replaces IAS 39, Financial Instru ments: Recognition and Measurement, and supersedes all previous versions of the standard. The standard intro- duces a new model for the classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities, a single expected credit loss model for the measurement of the impairment of financial assets and a new model for hedge accounting that is aligned with a company’s risk management activities. IFRS 9 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, with earlier application permitted. Onex is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on its consolidated financial statements. 26 Onex Corporation December 31, 2015 Variability of results Onex’ consolidated operating results may vary substan- tially from quarter to quarter and year to year for a num- ber of reasons, including some of the following: the current economic environment; the impact of foreign exchange fluctuation; acquisitions or dispositions of businesses by Onex, the parent company; the change in value of stock- based compensation for both the parent company and its operating businesses; changes in the market value of Onex’ publicly traded operating businesses; changes in the fair value of Onex’ privately held operating busi- nesses; changes in tax legislation or in the application of tax legislation; and activities at Onex’ operating businesses. These activities may include the purchase or sale of busi- nesses; fluctuations in customer demand, materials and employee-related costs; changes in the mix of products and services produced or delivered; changes in the financing of the business; changes in contract accounting estimates; impairments of goodwill, intangible assets or long-lived assets; litigation; charges to restructure operations; and natural disasters. Given the diversity of Onex’ operating businesses, the associated exposures, risks and contingen- cies may be many, varied and material. Investments held by the CLOs and the Onex Credit Funds as well as debt issued by the CLOs are recorded at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in the con- solidated statements of earnings. Fair values are impacted by the leveraged loan market and credit risk (both own and counterparty), which may vary substantially from quarter to quarter and year to year.

In accordance with IFRS, the expense recorded on these plans is determined based on the fair value of the liability at the end of each reporting period. The fair value of the Onex stock options and MIP equity interests is determined using an option valuation model, with the stock options primar- ily impacted by the change in the market value of Onex’ shares and the MIP equity interests affected primarily by the change in the fair value of Onex’ investments. The expense recorded by Onex, the parent company, on its stock options during 2015 was primarily due to the 26 percent increase in the market value of Onex’ shares to C$84.82 at December 31, 2015 from C$67.46 at December 31, 2014.

Onex’ consolidated results include a pre-tax gain of $102 million based on the excess of the proceeds over the carrying value of the investment. Onex’ share of the gain was $22 million. The gain on sale is entirely attributable to the equity holders of Onex Corporation, as the interest of the Limited Partners was recorded as a financial liability at fair value. No amounts were paid on account of the MIP for this transaction as the required investment return hurdle for Onex was not met. In addition, no carried interest was paid or received on this transaction. Until the realized cash loss on Tropicana Las Vegas is fully offset, the carried interest that would other- wise be distributed to Onex in respect of a future realization in the Onex Partners III Fund is expected to be reduced by $7 million.

As a result of this transaction, Onex Partners I Group lost its controlling interest in Spirit AeroSystems, and the remain- ing interest held by Onex Partners I Group was recorded as a long-term investment at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded in other income (expense). In August 2014, under a secondary public offer- ing of Spirit AeroSystems, Onex Partners I Group sold its remaining 8.4 million shares of Spirit AeroSystems, of 2015 $ 72 (1) − − − $ 2014 − 5 (21) (29) (1) $ 71 $ (46) which Onex’ portion was approximately 2.2 million shares.

Allison Transmission In 2014, Allison Transmission completed secondary offer- ings to the public of 85.6 million shares of common stock and repurchased 8.4 million shares of common stock. The secondary offerings included the full exercise of the over- allotment options. As part of the offerings and share repur- chases, Onex Partners II Group sold 47.0 million shares of common stock. After completion of the June 2014 secondary offer- ing and share repurchase, Onex Partners II Group contin- ued to own approximately 2 percent in the aggregate of Allison Transmission’s outstanding common stock. As a result, the Onex Partners II Group no longer had a signifi- cant influence over Allison Transmission and the remain- ing investment in Allison Transmission was recorded within other long-term investments at fair value through earnings, with changes in fair value recorded in other income (expense), until the Onex Partners II Group sold its remaining interest in September 2014. Income recorded in other income (expense) of $1 million during 2014 represents the change in fair value of the shares held after the June 2014 secondary offering and share repurchase up until the September 2014 second- ary offering. Genesis Healthcare In February 2015, Skilled Healthcare Group combined with Genesis HealthCare, LLC, as described in the significant transactions section starting on page 27 of this MD&A. As a result of the transaction, Onex no longer controls Skilled Healthcare Group and its investment in the combined company, Genesis Healthcare, is recorded as an other long-term investment at fair value through earnings, with changes in fair value recorded in other income (expense). Tomkins In April 2014, Onex, together with Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (“CPPIB”), entered into an agreement to sell Gates, Tomkins’ principal remaining business. As a result, at that time, Onex’ investment in Tomkins was recorded in assets held for sale and was recorded at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets, with changes in fair value recognized within other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of earnings. The sale was completed in July 2014 for an enter- prise value of $5.4 billion. Proceeds from the sale to Onex Partners III Group were $2.0 billion. Onex’ share of the proceeds was $542 million, including carried interest and after the reduction for distributions paid on account of the MIP. After the sale of Gates, Onex continued to own resid- ual assets of Tomkins. Through December 2015, Onex Part- ners III sold the residual assets for proceeds of $45 million. Income of $21 million recorded in other expense (income) during the year ended December 31, 2014 primar- ily represents the change in fair value of the residual assets of Tomkins. 44 Onex Corporation December 31, 2015 M A N A G E M E N T ’ S D I S C U S S I O N A N D A N A LY S I S Restructuring Restructuring charges are the costs incurred by the oper- Foreign exchange loss For the year ended December 31, 2015, Onex reported con- ating companies to realign organizational structures or solidated loss from foreign exchange of $52 million (2014 – restructure manufacturing capacity to obtain operating syn- $27 million).

The total estimated fair value of contingent con- sideration liabilities at December 31, 2015 was $318 million (2014 – $203 million). The increase in the total estimated fair value of contingent consideration liabilities at Decem- ber 31, 2015 was primarily due to the contingent consider- ation associated with the acquisition of SIG, as discussed on page 28 of this MD&A. At December 31, 2015, SIG had revised its estimate of the additional amount to €125 mil- lion ($136 million), resulting in a recovery of €50 million ($55 million) recognized in other income (expense) during 2015. The amount represented management’s best estimate of the fair value at December 31, 2015, which is subject to sensitivity associated with various factors, including for- eign currency fluctuations, as well as uncertainty regarding the treatment of certain items. Derivatives losses (gains) For the year ended December 31, 2015, Onex reported con- solidated gains from derivatives of $120 million (2014 – losses of $16 million).

Management is responsible for the information and representations contained in these consolidated financial statements. The Company maintains appropriate processes to ensure that relevant and reliable financial information is pro- duced. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. The significant accounting policies which management believes are appropriate for the Company are described in note 1 to the consolidated financial statements. The Board of Directors is responsible for reviewing and approving the consolidated financial statements and oversee- ing management’s performance of its financial reporting responsibilities. An Audit and Corporate Governance Committee of four non-management independent Directors is appointed by the Board. The Audit and Corporate Governance Committee reviews the consolidated financial statements, adequacy of inter- nal controls, audit process and financial reporting with management and with the external auditors. The Audit and Cor po- rate Governance Committee reports to the Directors prior to the approval of the audited consolidated financial statements for publication. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the Company’s external auditors, who are appointed by the holders of Subordinate Voting Shares, audited the consolidated financial statements in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards to enable them to express to the shareholders their opinion on the consolidated financial statements. Their report is set out on the following page. [signed] [signed] [signed] [signed] Christopher A. Govan Chief Financial Officer February 25, 2016 Christine M. Donaldson Managing Director – Finance 94 Onex Corporation December 31, 2015 INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT To the Shareholders of Onex Corporation: We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Onex Corporation and its subsidiaries, which com- prise the consolidated balance sheets as at December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, and the consolidated statements of earnings, comprehensive earnings, equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, and the related notes, which comprise a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information. Management’s responsibility for the consolidated financial statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accor- dance with International Financial Reporting Standards, and for such internal control as management determines is neces- sary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor’s responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consoli- dated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assess- ments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriate- ness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained in our audits is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Opinion In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Onex Corporation and its subsidiaries as at December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 and their financial performance and their cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.

SALE OF INTERESTS IN OPERATING COMPANY UNDER CONTINUING CONTROL In March 2014, under a secondary public offering of Spirit AeroSys- tems, Onex Partners I sold 6.0 million shares of Spirit AeroSystems, of which Onex’ portion was approximately 1.6 million shares. The offering was completed at a price of $28.52 per share. Onex’ cash cost for these shares was $3.33 per share. Since this transaction did not result in a loss of control by the Company at the time of the transaction, it was recorded as a transfer of equity to non-control- ling interests. Total cash proceeds received from the sale were $171, resulting in a transfer of the historical accounting carrying value of $69 to the non-controlling interests in the consolidated statements of equity. The net cash proceeds in excess of the historical account- ing carrying value of $102 were recorded directly to retained earn- ings. Onex’ share of the net proceeds was $52, including carried interest and after the reduction for distributions paid on account of the MIP. Amounts received on account of the carried inter- est related to this transaction totalled $16. In accordance with the terms of Onex Partners, Onex is allocated 40% of the carried inter- est with 60% allocated to management. Onex’ share of the carried interest received was $6 and is included in the net proceeds to Onex. Management’s share of the carried interest was $10. Amounts paid on account of the MIP totalled $4 for this transaction and have been deducted from the net proceeds to Onex. As a result of this transaction, Onex Partners I’s economic interest in Spirit AeroSystems was reduced to 11% from 16%. Onex’ economic ownership was reduced to 3% from 5%. Onex continued to control and consolidate Spirit AeroSystems until the June 2014 secondary offering and share repurchase. In August 2014, under a secondary public offering of Spirit AeroSystems, Onex Partners I sold the remaining shares of Spirit AeroSystems.

In addition, the long-term investments of CLOs included in the long-term investments line in the consolidated balance sheets consist primarily of invest- ments in debt securities. The investments in debt securities are subject to credit risk. A description of the investments held by the CLOs is included in note 8(c). At December 31, 2015, Onex, the parent company, had $588 of cash on hand and $1,550 of near-cash items at market value. Cash and cash equivalents are held with financial institu- tions having a current Standard & Poor’s rating of A-1+ or above. Near-cash items include short- and long-term investments man- aged by third-party investment managers, as described below, as well as $351 invested in a segregated unlevered fund managed by Onex Credit. The short- and long-term investments have current Standard & Poor’s ratings ranging from BBB to AAA. The portfolio concentration limits range from a maximum of 10% for BBB invest- ments to 100% for AAA investments. shareholders, to do so. Maintaining sufficient liquidity at Onex is important because Onex, as a holding company, generally does not have guaranteed sources of meaningful cash flow. In completing acquisitions, it is generally Onex’ policy to finance a significant portion of the purchase price with debt provided by third-party lenders. This debt, sourced exclusively on the strength of the acquired companies’ financial condition and prospects, is debt of the acquired company at closing and is with- out recourse to Onex Corporation, the ultimate parent company, or to its other operating companies or partnerships. The fore- most consideration, however, in developing a financing structure for an acquisition is identifying the appropriate amount of equity to invest. In Onex’ view, this should be the amount of equity that maximizes the risk/reward equation for both shareholders and the acquired company. Accounts payable for the operating companies are pri- marily due within 90 days. The repayment schedules for long- term debt and finance leases of the operating companies have been disclosed in notes 12 and 13. Onex Corporation, the ultimate parent company, has no debt and does not guarantee the debt of the operating companies. Market risk Market risk is the risk that the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market prices.

Approximately 30% of the interests in the Property Purchaser are to be held by a private entity in which Mr. Gerald W. Schwartz, who is Onex’ controlling shareholder and a direc- tor of Celestica, has a material interest. Mr. Schwartz also has a non-voting interest in an entity which is to have an approximate 25% interest in the Property Purchaser. Celestica formed a Special Committee, consisting solely of independent directors, to review and supervise the competitive bidding process. The bid of the Property Purchaser was approved by Celestica’s board of directors, at a meeting at which Mr. Schwartz was not present, based on the unanimous recommendation of the Special Committee. Onex is not participating in this transaction. The operating companies have a number of defined benefit and defined contribution plans providing pension, other retirement and post-employment benefits to certain of their employees. The non-pension post-retirement benefits include retirement and termination benefits, health, dental and group life. The plans at the operating companies are independent and surpluses within certain plans cannot be used to offset deficits in other plans. The benefit payments from the plans are typically made from trustee- administered funds; however, there are certain unfunded plans primarily related to non-pension post-retirement benefits that are funded as benefit payment obligations are required. Onex Corporation, the ultimate parent company, does not provide pen- sion, other retirement or post-retirement benefits to its employees and does not have any obligations and has not made any guaran- tees with respect to the plans of the operating companies. The plans are exposed to market risks, such as chang- es in interest rates, inflation and fluctuations in investment val- ues. The plan liabilities are calculated using a discount rate set with reference to corporate bond yields; if the plan assets fail to achieve this yield, this will create or further a plan deficit. A decrease in corporate bond yields would have the effect of increasing the benefit obligations; however, this would be par- tially offset by a fair value increase in the value of debt securities held in the plans’ assets. For certain plans, the benefit obligations are linked to inflation, and higher inflation will result in a greater benefit obligation. The plans are also exposed to non-financial risks such as the membership’s mortality and demographic changes, as well as regulatory changes. An increase in the life expectancy will result in an increase in the benefit obligations. The total costs during 2015 for defined contribution pension plans and multi-employer plans were $89 (2014 – $55). Accrued benefit obligations and the fair value of plan assets for accounting purposes are measured at December 31 of each year. The most recent actuarial valuations of the largest pension plans for funding purposes were in 2015, and the next required valuations will be in 2016. The Company estimates that in 2016 the minimum funding requirement for the defined benefit pension plans will be $32. In 2015, total cash payments for employee future bene fits, consisting of cash contributed by the operating companies to their funded pension plans, cash payments directly to beneficiaries for their unfunded other benefit plans and cash contributed to their defined contribution plans, were $137 (2014 – $154). Included in the total was $8 (2014 – $11) contributed to multi-employer plans.

Of the total deferred benefit liabilities, $12 (2014 – $18) was recorded as a cur- rent liability. The following assumptions were used to account for the plans: Year ended December 31 2015 2014 2015 2014 Accrued benefit obligation Weighted average discount rate(a) Weighted average rate of compensation increase 0.5%−4.2% 1.4%−3.9% 1.0%−8.5% 0.5%−7.0% 0.7%−4.1% 2.0%−4.6% 0.1%−3.9% 2.0%−4.6% (a) Weighted average discount rate includes inflation, where applicable to a benefit plan.

When calculating the sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to changes in significant actuarial assumptions, the same method used for calculating the benefit obligation liabilities in the consolidated financial statements has been applied. Certain operating companies have entered into agreements to acquire or make investments in other businesses. These trans- actions are typically subject to a number of conditions, many of which are beyond the control of Onex or the operating companies. 172 Onex Corporation December 31, 2015 N O T E S T O C O N S O L I D AT E D F I N A N C I A L S TAT E M E N T S 3 3 .
