Table of Contents 8 Management’s Discussion and Analysis 96 Consolidated Financial Statements 180 Shareholder Information CHAIRMAN’S LETTER Dear Shareholders, With the year just past we once again ﬁnd ourselves in awe of the world’s capacity for surprises. We didn’t think the people of the United Kingdom would vote to leave the European Union and we didn’t think Donald Trump would be elected president of the United States. Fortunately, because we long ago learned humility as investors, we do not base our acquisitions and investments on an outlook of world events. We simply look for good busi- nesses we and our management teams can make better. Just as we have in the past, we will adapt to changes brought upon us by shifting political winds. As investors we crave certainty but seldom get it, so we must learn to prosper without it. With so much change in the air, our most fervent hope these days is that we never lose access to the smart, creative and driven young professionals we need for continued success. A quick scan of our phone direc- tory or walk through our ofﬁces and you would certainly conclude that many of our employees had grand- parents or parents born far from our borders. We didn’t hire them just for the sake of diversity. We hired them because they excelled academically and displayed the grit and drive we like to see at Onex. We need them because we compete with investors throughout the world in a battle for the best ideas and execution. Wouldn’t it be awful if they stopped coming to our shores and we couldn’t hire them? The political drama notwithstanding, we had a very busy year in 2016. In acquisitions totalling $6.1 bil- lion, we invested over $2.2 billion through our private equity funds, of which Onex’ direct share was more than $700 million. ONCAP raised $1.1 billion for ONCAP IV, an increase from C$800 million raised for ONCAP III, in a single close and in just over two months (for readers unfamiliar with private equity fundraising – that’s lightning fast!). Here are some other highlights: • We acquired four companies: – Clarivate Analytics, an owner and operator of a collection of leading subscription-based businesses focused on scientiﬁc and academic research, patent analytics, trademark protection and other intellectual property management; Save-A-Lot, one of the largest hard-discount grocery retailers for value-seeking shoppers in the United States; WireCo World Group, a global manufacturer of mission-critical steel wire rope, synthetic rope, specialty wire and engineered products; and Tecta America Corporation, a national commercial rooﬁng company in the United States offering installa- tion, replacement and repair services; – – – • In December 2016, we agreed to acquire Parkdean Resorts, an operator of caravan holiday parks in the United Kingdom; • The value of Onex’ interest in our private equity investments, including realizations and distributions, grew by 7 percent. As more recently acquired businesses start to contribute to value creation, we expect to see stronger growth from our private equity investments; • We distributed close to $1.7 billion to Onex and our partners; and • Our credit platform grew its assets under management by 15 percent to $7.5 billion through continued CLO issuance and strong performance. As we settle into a new year, we are excited to start building value in our recent acquisitions. Collectively, the team invested approximately $130 million in these businesses and in total has $1.9 billion invested in our shares, operating companies and credit platform. Financial alignment between managers, shareholders and limited partners is a core value at Onex. We share with you the risks and rewards of everything we own. As investors, we know our capital is in safe hands. We hope you feel the same. From all of us at Onex, we thank you for your continued support. [signed] Gerald W. Schwartz Chairman and Chief Executive Ofﬁcer, Onex Corporation Onex Corporation December 31, 2016 1 ONEX CORPORATION Who We Are and What We Do Onex is an investor ﬁrst and foremost, with $6.3 billion of shareholder capital primarily invested in or commit- ted to private equity and non-investment grade credit. We also manage $18.0 billion for fund investors around the world, including public and private pension plans, sovereign wealth funds, banks, insurance companies and family ofﬁces, that have chosen to invest alongside us. With an experienced management team, signiﬁcant ﬁnancial resources and no debt at the parent com- pany, Onex is well-positioned to continue building shareholder value through its investing and asset manage- ment activities. Private Equity Investing Founded in 1984, Onex is one of the oldest and most successful private equity ﬁrms. We acquire and build high- quality businesses in partnership with talented management teams. Onex invests through its two private equity platforms: Onex Partners for larger transactions and ONCAP for middle-market transactions. We are focused on three primary investment strategies: (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. We have built more than 90 operating businesses, completing about 560 acquisitions with a total value of $68 billion. Onex’ private equity investing has generated a gross multiple of capital invested of 2.7 times since inception, resulting in a 28 percent gross IRR on realized, substantially realized and publicly traded investments. Credit Investing Our credit platform is focused on a variety of credit-oriented investment strategies. We invest primarily in non- investment grade debt. We practise value-oriented investing and employ a bottom-up, fundamental and struc- tural analysis of the underlying borrowers. In credit, we seek to generate strong risk-adjusted and absolute returns across market cycles. 2 Onex Corporation December 31, 2016 Onex Capital At December 31, 2016, Onex’ $6.3 billion of capital was primarily invested in or committed to its private equity and credit platforms.

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 our share price. In the year ended December 31, 2016, Onex capital per share increased by 8 percent in U.S. dollars (5 percent in Canadian dollars) and our share price increased by 11 percent in U.S. dollars (8 percent in Canadian dollars). Over the past ﬁve years, Onex capital per share has increased by 10 percent per year in U.S. dollars (16 percent per year in Canadian dollars). Onex Corporation December 31, 2016 3 Nav per Share (USD) Onex Capital per Share (USD) (December 31, 2011 to December 31, 2016) $60 $55 $50 $45 $40 $35 10% annual growth over the past five years 60 55 50 45 40 35 Dec-2011 Dec-2012 Dec-2013 Dec-2014 Dec-2015 Dec-2016 Fund Investor Capital Onex manages $18.0 billion of invested and committed capital on behalf of investors from around the world. In November 2016, we successfully completed fundraising for ONCAP IV, reaching aggregate commitments of $1.1 billion, including Onex’ commitment of $480 million, and exceeding our target size of $1.0 billion. Onex’ $18.0 billion of Fund Investor Capital at December 31, 2016 Onex’ $16.5 billion of Fund Investor Capital at December 31, 2015 Onex Partners 54% Onex Partners 60% Onex Credit 37% Onex Credit 35% ONCAP 9% ONCAP 5% Fund investor capital includes capital managed on behalf of co-investors and the Onex management team. 4 Onex Corporation December 31, 2016 Asset Management Onex’ management of fund investor capital provides two signiﬁcant ﬁnancial beneﬁts: (i) a committed stream of annual management fees and (ii) the opportunity to share in fund investors’ proﬁts. Onex has run-rate man- agement fees of $150 million for the next 12 months, consisting of $110 million from its private equity platforms, including the impact of ONCAP IV, and $40 million from its credit platform. We expect our asset managers’ net contribution will more than offset the cost of investing our shareholders’ capital. One of Onex’ long-term goals is to grow its fee-generating capital by 10 percent per year. For the year ended December 31, 2016, fee-generating capital under management grew by 7 percent to $15.9 billion. The closing of ONCAP IV contributed approximately $600 million to the increase in fee-generating capital under manage- ment. Onex also raised capital through Onex Credit’s CLO platform during the year. Over the past ﬁve years, fee- generating capital under management has increased by 15 percent per year.

This How We Are Invested schedule details Onex’ $6.3 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 estimated fair values of the invest- ments and allocates no value to future 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, 2016 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 where Onex’ share price exceeds the exercise price of the stock options. (10) The change in Onex Capital per Share is impacted by the fair value changes of Onex’ investments. Share repurchases and options exercised during the period 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. 6 Onex Corporation December 31, 2016 H O W W E A R E I N V E S T E D Public Companies As at December 31, 2016 Onex Partners – Genesis Healthcare Direct Investments – Celestica(2) Subsequent Listing – As at January 31, 2017 Onex Partners – JELD-WEN(4) Signiﬁcant Private Companies As at December 31, 2016 Onex Partners AIT BBAM(8) Carestream Health Clarivate Analytics Emerald Expositions Jack’s Meridian Aviation ResCare Save-A-Lot Schumacher sgsco SIG Survitec USI WireCo York Public and Private Company Information Shares Subject to Carried Interest (millions) Shares Held by Onex (millions) 10.7 – 3.5 18.0 Closing Price per Share(1) $ 4.25 $ 11.85 Shares Subject to Carried Interest (millions) Shares Held by Onex (millions) Closing Price per Share(3) 38.8 15.5 $ 27.07 Onex’ and its Limited Partners’ Economic Ownership LTM EBITDA(5) Net Debt Cumulative Distributions Onex’ Economic Ownership 50%(6) 50% 91% 72% 99% 96%(11) 100% 98% 100% 68% 93% 99% 79% 89% 71% 88% n/a $ 103 336 315 159(10) 56(12) n/a 127 200 117(10) 116(10) 1 467 £ 73(10) 353(10) 96 105(10) n/a (40)(9) $ $ 1,858 1,965 698 186 n/a 446 710 652 564 1 2,692 368 £ 1,824 595 936 241(7) 326 1,311 – – – 124 235 – – – – – 230 – – 11%(6) 13% 33%(2) 26% 24% 28%(11) 25% 20% 28% 20% 23% 33% 18% 25% 20% 29% Market Value of Onex’ Investment $ $ 15 213 228 Market Value of Onex’ Investment $ $ 421 421 Original Cost of Onex’ Investment $ 45 49 186 419 119 67 (13) 19 41 186 93 66 405 (14) 84 (15) 170 76 173 $ 2,198 (1) Closing prices on December 31, 2016.

Onex Corporation December 31, 2016 7 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Throughout this MD&A, all amounts are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated. The Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) provides a review of Onex Corporation’s (“Onex”) consolidated ﬁnancial results for the year ended December 31, 2016 and assesses factors that may affect future results. The ﬁnancial condition and results of operations are analyzed noting the signiﬁcant factors that impacted the consolidated state- ments of earnings, consolidated statements of comprehensive earnings, consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of cash ﬂows of Onex. As such, this MD&A should be read in conjunction with the consolidated ﬁnancial statements and notes thereto included in this report. The MD&A and the consolidated ﬁnancial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) to provide information about Onex on a consolidated basis and should not be considered as providing sufﬁcient information to make an investment or lending decision in regard to any particular Onex operating business.

The following MD&A is the responsibility of management and is as of February 23, 2017. Preparation of the MD&A includes the review of the disclosures on each business by senior managers of that business and the review of the entire document by each ofﬁcer of Onex and by the Onex Disclosure Committee. The Board of Directors carries out its responsibility for the review of this disclosure through its Audit and Corporate Governance Committee, comprised exclusively of independent directors. The Audit and Corporate Governance Committee has reviewed and recommended approval of the MD&A by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors has approved this disclosure.

Assets under management is the sum of the fair value of invested assets and uncalled committed capital that Onex manages on behalf of fund investors, including Onex’ own capital. Carried interest is an allocation of part of a fund investor’s proﬁts to Onex and its management team after real- izing a preferred return. CLO warehouse is a leveraged portfolio of credit investments that Onex establishes in anticipation of raising a new CLO. The leverage is typically provided by a ﬁnancial institution that serves as the placement agent for the relevant CLO. The leverage provided by a ﬁnancial institution may be in the form of a total return swap that transfers the credit and market risk of speciﬁed securities. Onex provides capital to support the CLO warehouse. Co-investment is a direct investment made by limited partners alongside the fund. Collateralized Loan Obligation (“CLO”) is a structured investment fund that invests in non-investment grade debt. Interests in these funds are sold in rated tranches that have rights to the CLO’s collateral and payment streams in descending order of priority. The yield to investors in each tranche decreases as the level of priority increases. Committed capital is the amount contractually committed by limited partners that a fund may call for invest- ments or to pay management fees and other expenses. Deferred Share Units (“DSUs”) are synthetic investments made by Directors and senior management of Onex, where the gain or loss mirrors the performance of the SVS. DSUs may be issued to Directors in lieu of director fees and to senior management in lieu of a portion of their annual short-term incentive compensation. Direct lending platform will focus on providing credit to middle-market and larger private equity and cor- porate borrowers predominantly in the United States and, selectively, in Canada and Europe. The strategy will invest the majority of its capital in senior secured loans of companies primarily in less cyclical and less capital- intensive industries, with a focus on capital preservation. The direct lending platform will employ a buy-and- hold approach to investing, with a goal of owning a diversiﬁed pool of investments. Discontinued operation is a component of Onex that has either been disposed of or is currently classiﬁed as held for sale, and represents either a major line of business or geographical area, a single coordinated plan to dispose of a separate line of business or geographical area, or a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to near-term resale. EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure and is based on the local accounting standards of the individual operating companies. The metric is based on earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization as well as other adjustments. Other adjustments can include non-cash costs of stock-based compensation and retention plans, transition and restructuring expenses including severance payments, the impact of derivative instruments that no longer qualify for hedge accounting, the impacts of purchase accounting and other similar amounts. Economic ownership is the percentage by which Onex economically participates in an operating company investment. Onex Corporation December 31, 2016 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 Fee-generating capital is the assets under management on which the Company earns management fees and/or carried interest or incentive fees. Fund investor capital is the invested and committed uncalled capital of third-party investors. General partner is a partner that determines most of the actions of a partnership and can legally bind the part- nership. The general partners of Onex-sponsored funds are Onex-controlled subsidiaries. Gross internal rate of return (“Gross IRR”) is the annualized percentage return achieved on an investment or fund, taking time into consideration. This measure does not reﬂect a limited partner’s return since it is calcu- lated without deducting carried interest, management fees and expenses. Gross multiple of capital (“Gross MOC”) is an investment’s or fund’s total value divided by the capital that has been invested. This measure does not reﬂect a limited partner’s multiple of capital since it is calculated without deducting carried interest, management fees and expenses. Hurdle or preferred return is the minimum return required from an investment or fund before payments under the MIP, carried interest or incentive fees. Incentive fees are performance fees generated on fund investors’ capital managed by Onex Credit. Certain incentive fees are subject to a hurdle or preferred return to investors in accordance with the terms of the relevant agreements. International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) is a set of standards adopted by Onex to deter- mine accounting policies for the consolidated ﬁnancial statements that were formulated by the International Accounting Standards Board, and allows for comparability and consistency across businesses. As a publicly listed entity in Canada, Onex is required to report under IFRS. Joint ventures are a type of business arrangement in which two or more parties agree to share control over key decisions in order to reach a common objective, typically proﬁt generation or cost reduction. Joint ventures held by Onex through its private equity funds are recorded at fair value. Leveraged loans refer to the non-investment grade senior secured debt of relatively highly leveraged borrowers. A leveraged loan is typically issued by a company in connection with it being acquired by a private equity or corporate investor. Limited partner is an investor whose liability is generally limited to the extent of their share of the partnership. Limited Partners’ Interests charge primarily represents the change in the fair value of the underlying invest- ments in the Onex Partners, ONCAP and Onex Credit Funds, net of carried interest, which is allocated to the limited partners and recorded as Limited Partners’ Interests liability. Limited Partners’ Interests liability represents the fair value of limited partners’ invested capital in the Onex Partners, ONCAP and Onex Credit Funds and is affected primarily by the change in the fair value of the underlying investments in those funds, the impact of the carried interest, as well as any contributions by and distributions to the limited partners in those funds. LTM EBITDA is EBITDA of a business over the last twelve months. 10 Onex Corporation December 31, 2016 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 Management investment plan (“MIP”) is a plan that requires members of Onex’ management to invest in each of the operating businesses acquired or invested in by Onex. Management’s required cash investment is 1.5 percent of Onex’ interest in each acquisition or investment. Management is allocated 7.5 percent of Onex’ realized gain from an operating business investment, subject to Onex realizing the full return of its invest- ment plus a net 15 percent internal rate of return from the investment. The plan also has vesting requirements, certain limitations and voting requirements. Multiple Voting Shares of Onex are the controlling class of shares which entitle Mr. Gerald W. Schwartz to elect 60 percent of Onex’ Directors and to 60 percent of the total shareholder vote on most matters. The shares have no entitlement to distribution on wind-up or dissolution above their nominal paid-in value and do not partici- pate in dividends or earnings. Near-cash are investment holdings in readily marketable investments that can be converted to cash in an orderly market. In addition, near-cash includes management fees receivable from the limited partners of Onex’ private equity funds. Net internal rate of return (“Net IRR”) is the annualized percentage return earned by the limited partners of a fund, after the deduction of carried interest, management fees and expenses, taking time into consideration. Net multiple of capital (“Net MOC”) is the investment distributions and unrealized value, net of carried interest, to limited partners subject to carried interest and management fees in the funds, divided by the limited partners’ total contributions for investments, fees and expenses. Non-controlling interests represent the ownership interests in Onex’ controlled operating companies by shareholders other than Onex and the limited partners in the Onex Partners and ONCAP Funds. Normal Course Issuer Bid(s) (“NCIB”) is an annual program(s) approved by the Board of Directors that enables Onex to repurchase SVS for cancellation.

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 BUSINESS, OUR OBJECTIVE AND OUR STRATEGIES OUR BUSINESS: We invest and manage our own capital and that of investors from around the world, including public and private pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, banks, insurance companies and family ofﬁces. Onex has generated a Gross MOC of 2.7 times from its private equity activities since inception on realized, substan- tially realized and publicly traded investments. In our credit platform, we seek to generate strong risk-adjusted and absolute returns across market cycles. Investment approach For more than three decades, we have developed a successful approach to investing. In our private equity plat- forms, we pursue 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 mar- ket 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 acquisi- tions; 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 focus on non-investment grade debt. We practise value-oriented investing with bottom-up, fundamental and structural analysis. Stringent oversight of portfolio construction risk proﬁle and liquidity management complements our approach to investment research. Our team maintains disciplined risk management, with a focus on capital preservation across all strate- gies. We seek to generate strong risk-adjusted and absolute returns across market cycles. 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 140 years of investing experience and have worked at Onex for an average of 25 years. Onex’ stability results from its ownership culture, rigorous recruiting standards and highly collegial environment. Onex’ 94 investment professionals are each dedicated to a separate investment platform: Onex Part- ners (55), ONCAP (19) and Onex Credit (20). These investment teams are supported by approximately 80 profes- sionals dedicated to Onex’ corporate functions and its investment platforms. 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 committed capital from its limited partners in the Onex Partners and ONCAP Funds. At December 31, 2016, Onex had substantial ﬁnancial resources available to support its investing strategy with: • approximately $1.6 billion of cash and near-cash items, prior to the pending investment in Parkdean Resorts, and no debt at the parent company; • $1.7 billion of limited partner uncalled capital available for future Onex Partners IV investments, of which $301 million has been subsequently called for the pending acquisition of Parkdean Resorts; and $679 million of limited partner uncalled capital available for future ONCAP IV investments. • Onex Corporation December 31, 2016 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 In November 2016, we successfully completed fundraising for ONCAP IV, reaching aggregate commitments of $1.1 billion and exceeding our target size of $1.0 billion. This includes Onex’ commitment of $480 million and capital from fund investors around the world. 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, 2016, the Onex management team: • was the largest shareholder in Onex, with a combined holding of approximately 17.4 million shares, or 17 per- cent of outstanding shares, and had invested in 0.6 million DSUs; • had a total cash investment in Onex’ current operating businesses of approximately $440 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 MIP distributions in Onex shares until they individually own at least one million shares and must 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 fund investor 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 2016. OUR STRATEGIES Acquiring and building industry-leading businesses The growth in Onex capital is driven by the success of our private equity investments. Our private equity invest- ing strategy focuses on an active ownership approach to 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 7 percent during 2016. One of Onex’ long-term goals is to grow its capital per share by 15 percent per year. Including the impact of cash and other investments, Onex capital per share grew by 8 percent in U.S. dollars (4 percent in Canadian dollars) for the year ended December 31, 2016 to $58.56 (C$78.63). Over the past ﬁve years, Onex capital per share has increased by 10 percent per year in U.S. dollars (16 percent per year in Canadian dollars). 14 Onex Corporation December 31, 2016 M A N A G E M E N T ’ S D I S C U S S I O N A N D A N A LY S I S The table below presents the signiﬁcant private equity investments made during 2016 and Onex’ share thereof: Company Fund Transaction Clarivate Analytics Onex Partners IV Save-A-Lot WireCo Tecta Survitec Total Onex Partners IV Onex Partners IV ONCAP III and IV Onex Partners IV Original investment Original investment Original investment Period Oct ’16 Dec ’16 Sep ’16 Original investment Aug and Dec ’16 Add-on investment Nov ’16 Total Amount ($ millions) Onex’ Share ($ millions) $ 1,177(1) $ 419 (1) 660 270 124(2) 35 186 76 43 (2) 8 $ 2,266 $ 732 (1) The Onex Partners IV Group’s equity investment in Clarivate Analytics was comprised of $700 million through Onex Partners IV and $477 million as a co-investment from Onex and certain limited partners. Onex’ investment was comprised of $197 million through Onex Partners IV and $222 million as a co-investment. (2) The ONCAP III Group’s equity investment in Tecta was initially comprised of an investment of $99 million through ONCAP III and an additional investment of $25 million by Onex. In December 2016, following the consent previously received from the Advisory Committee of ONCAP III, the General Partner of the ONCAP III Group syndicated $37 million of the investment in Tecta, representing 29 percent of the economic interest, to the ONCAP IV Group at the same cost as the original investment. The additional investment of $25 million made by Onex represented Onex’ pro-rata share of the portion of the investment that was transferred to the ONCAP IV Group. Subsequent to the syndication, Onex’ investment in Tecta consisted of $18 million through the ONCAP III Group and $25 million through the ONCAP IV Group. Acquiring businesses In October 2016, Onex, in partnership with Baring Private Equity Asia, completed the acquisition of the Intellectual Property and Science business from Thomson Reuters for $3.55 billion. The business, which now operates as Clarivate Analytics, owns and operates a collection of leading subscription-based businesses focused on scientiﬁc and academic research, patent analytics and regulatory standards, pharmaceutical and biotech intelligence, trademark protection, domain brand protection and intellectual property management. The equity investment was $1.6 billion for a 100 percent economic interest in Clarivate Analytics, of which $1.2 billion was made by the Onex Partners IV Group, including $477 million as a co-investment from Onex and certain limited partners, for a 72 percent economic interest. Onex’ share of the equity investment was $419 mil- lion, including $222 million as a co-investment, for a 26 percent economic interest. In December 2016, the Company completed the acquisition of Save-A-Lot for $1.4 billion. Save-A-Lot is one of the largest hard-discount grocery retailers for value-seeking shoppers in the United States. The Onex Partners IV Group invested $660 million for 100 percent of the economic interest in Save-A-Lot. Onex’ share of the invest- ment was $186 million for a 28 percent economic interest. In September 2016, the Onex Partners IV Group acquired control and an initial 72 percent economic interest through a recapitalization of WireCo, a leading global manufacturer of mission-critical steel wire rope, synthetic rope, specialty wire and engineered products, for $916 million. The Onex Partners IV Group invested $270 million in WireCo. Onex’ share of the investment was $76 million for an initial 20 percent economic interest. Onex Corporation December 31, 2016 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 In August 2016, the ONCAP III Group acquired Tecta. Based in the United States, Tecta is a leading national commercial rooﬁng company offering installation, replacement and repair services. The equity investment in Tecta was $124 million for a 97 percent economic interest, and was initially comprised of an investment of $99 million by the ONCAP III Group and an additional investment of $25 million by Onex. In December 2016, the ONCAP III Group transferred $37 million of the investment in Tecta, representing 29 percent of the economic interest, to the ONCAP IV Group at the same cost as the original investment. Subse- quent to the syndication, Onex’ investment consisted of $18 million through the ONCAP III Group and $25 million through the ONCAP IV Group for a combined 33 percent economic interest. In addition, in December 2016, the Onex Partners IV Group agreed to acquire Parkdean Resorts, a leading opera- tor of caravan holiday parks in the United Kingdom, for £1.35 billion. The Onex Partners IV Group expects to make an investment of $627 million, comprised of $427 million from Onex Partners IV and $200 million as a co- investment from Onex and certain limited partners, for an economic interest of approximately 91 percent. Onex’ share of the investment is expected to be $170 million, comprised of $126 million through Onex Partners IV and $44 million as a co-investment, for an economic interest of approximately 25 percent. The transaction is expected to close during the ﬁrst quarter of 2017, subject to customary conditions and regulatory approvals. Today, we have approximately $1.6 billion of cash and near-cash items and $2.4 billion of limited partner uncalled capital to deploy for new investments, prior to giving effect to the pending acquisition of Parkdean Resorts. As we continue to evaluate investment opportunities, our focus remains on identifying investments that will deliver long-term growth for our shareholders and partners. Building businesses During 2016, 14 of our operating businesses completed 29 follow-on acquisitions for total consideration of $685 million. This includes the June 2016 acquisition of ECI Healthcare Partners (“ECI”) by Schumacher for $140 million and the November 2016 acquisition of the safety-related business activities of Wilhelmsen Maritime Service (“Wilhelmsen Safety”) by Survitec for £164 million ($205 million). In connection with Survitec’s acquisition of Wilhelmsen Safety, the Onex Partners IV Group invested $35 million in Survitec, of which Onex’ share was $8 million. In addition, during 2016 our businesses paid down debt totalling approxi- mately $468 million. 16 Onex Corporation December 31, 2016 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 Realizing on value During 2016, the strength of our businesses, combined with the strength in the credit market for much of the year, made it appropriate for a number of our operating businesses to collectively raise or reﬁnance a total of $4.3 billion of debt. This contributed to Onex and its partners receiving distributions of $505 million from these operating businesses. The table below presents the signiﬁcant proceeds received during 2016 and up to February 23, 2017 from real- izations and cash distributions primarily from private equity activity: Gross Multiple of Capital Invested(1) Total Amount ($ millions) Onex’ Share ($ millions) (2) 2.1x $ 737(3) $ 191 (3) Period Apr ’16 Company Fund Transaction KraussMaffei JELD-WEN AIT Hopkins Cicis BBAM Jack’s Onex Partners III Sale of business Onex Partners III Distributions and initial public offering Aug ’16, Nov ’16 and Jan ‘17 Onex Partners IV Distributions ONCAP III ONCAP II Distribution Sale of business Onex Partners III Distributions Various Dec’ 16 Aug ’16 Various Onex Partners IV Repayments of promissory note Jan, Mar and Apr ’16 Meridian Aviation Onex Partners III Distribution Onex Real Estate Partners Direct investment Distributions PURE Canadian Gaming ONCAP II and III Distribution Jun ’16 Various Jan ‘17 n/a n/a n/a 1.4x n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a 491(4) 127 (4) 125 71 53(5) 50 40 39 37 11 27 21 23 (5) 13 12 12 33 5 Total $ 1,654 $ 464 (1) Calculation includes prior realizations and amounts expected to be received from escrow and working capital adjustments.

In April 2016, the Onex Partners III Group sold its entire investment in KraussMaffei for a cash enterprise value of €925 million ($1.0 billion). The Onex Partners III Group invested a total of €276 million ($358 million) to acquire KraussMaffei in December 2012 and has received net proceeds of €669 million ($753 million). Onex’ portion of the net proceeds was $195 million, including carried interest and after the reduction for amounts relating to the MIP. The net proceeds for the Onex Partners III Group and Onex included net realized losses from foreign exchange hedges of $13 million and $3 million, respectively. The investment in KraussMaffei generated a Gross MOC of 2.1 times, including the impact of foreign exchange hedges. Onex Corporation December 31, 2016 17 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 January 2017, JELD-WEN completed an initial public offering of 28.75 million shares of its common stock (NYSE: JELD), including the exercise of the over-allotment option. The offering was priced at $23.00 per share for gross proceeds of $661 million. As part of the offering, JELD-WEN issued approximately 22.3 million treasury shares. The net proceeds from treasury shares were used to repay $375 million of JELD-WEN’s combined term loan with the balance for working capital and other general corporate purposes. The Onex Partners III Group sold approximately 6.5 million shares in the transaction for net proceeds of $140 million. Onex’ portion of the net proceeds was $40 million, including approximately $6 million of carried interest. Subsequent to the initial public offering, the Onex Partners III Group continues to hold 62.8 million shares of JELD-WEN for an eco- nomic and voting interest of 60 percent. Onex continues to hold 15.5 million shares for a 15 percent economic interest in JELD-WEN. In November 2016, JELD-WEN increased its term loan borrowings by $375 million and drew on the com- pany’s revolving credit facility to fund a distribution of $400 million to its shareholders. The Onex Partners III Group’s portion of the distribution to shareholders was $327 million, of which Onex’ portion was $81 million. In addition, in August 2016 JELD-WEN distributed a purchase price adjustment of $24 million to the Onex Partners III Group, of which Onex’ share was $6 million. In July 2016, AIT completed its inaugural ﬁnancing, a $225 million term loan. The net proceeds from the term loan were used in August 2016 to repurchase units from investors other than the Onex Partners IV Group and to fund a distribution of $174 million. As a result of the unit repurchase, the Onex Partners IV Group’s economic interest in AIT increased to 50 percent, of which Onex’ share was an 11 percent economic interest. The Onex Partners IV Group’s share of the distribution was $107 million, of which Onex’ share was $24 million. In addition, during 2016, AIT distributed an additional $18 million to the Onex Partners IV Group, of which Onex’ share was $3 million. The additional distributions were funded by the company’s free cash ﬂow. In December 2016, Hopkins entered into a new credit facility to fund an $80 million distribution to shareholders and repay its existing credit facilities. The ONCAP III Group’s share of the distribution was $71 million, of which Onex’ share was $21 million. In August 2016, the ONCAP II Group sold Cicis. Onex received total net proceeds of approximately $29 million compared to its original investment of $22 million. During 2016, BBAM distributed $50 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. During the ﬁrst half of 2016, Jack’s made repayments of the promissory note held by the Onex Partners IV Group totalling $40 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 $12 million. In June 2016, the balance of $14 million outstanding under the promissory note, of which Onex’ share was $4 million, was converted into additional equity of Jack’s in accordance with the promissory note agreement. 18 Onex Corporation December 31, 2016 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 June 2016, Meridian Aviation distributed $39 million to the Onex Partners III Group, of which Onex’ share was $12 million, including carried interest of $2 million. The distribution was funded from cash on hand at Meridian Aviation, which was primarily from gains on investments in aircraft. During 2016, our real estate platform distributed $37 million of proceeds primarily from the sale of commercial units at Flushing Town Center. Onex’ share of the distributions was $33 million. The distributions by Flushing Town Center included $8 million related to the amounts held in escrow from the July 2015 sale of the retail space and adjoining parking garage of Flushing Town Center, of which Onex’ share was $7 million. In January 2017, PURE Canadian Gaming distributed C$15 million to shareholders, which was primarily funded by the company’s free cash ﬂow generated during the year. The ONCAP II and III Groups’ portion of the distri- bution was C$15 million ($11 million), of which Onex’ portion was C$6 million ($5 million). Managing and growing fund investor capital Onex’ management of fund investor capital has grown signiﬁcantly since 1999 when it raised its ﬁrst ONCAP Fund for middle-market transactions. In 2003, the ﬁrst Onex Partners Fund was raised for larger transactions. Over the years, Onex has raised $12.4 billion of limited partner capital through eight Onex Partners and ONCAP Funds. In November 2016, Onex successfully completed fundraising for ONCAP IV, reaching aggregate commit- ments of $1.1 billion and exceeding our target size of $1.0 billion. This includes Onex’ commitment of $480 mil- lion and capital from fund investors around the world. In 2007, Onex acquired a 50 percent interest in an investment advisor focused on credit investing which, at that time, managed $300 million. In January 2015, Onex acquired control of the investment advisor and now has a 100 percent ownership interest for accounting purposes. 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 ware- house facility in anticipation of its ﬁrst placement. To date, Onex Credit has closed 12 CLOs, with offerings of se- curities and loans totalling approximately $6.9 billion. At December 31, 2016, capital under management related to these CLOs was $6.3 billion. Today, our credit business manages non-investment grade debt through several investment strategies comprising event-driven, long/short, long-only, par, stressed and distressed opportunities, including two closed- end funds listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX: OCS-UN and OSL-UN), as well as its CLO platform. Since inception, Onex Credit has raised $7.9 billion of fund investor capital through its various strategies and is focused on growing its other strategies through various product lines and distribution channels. In April 2016, Onex Credit announced plans to launch a direct lending platform which will focus on pro- viding credit to middle-market and larger private equity and corporate borrowers predominantly in the United States and, selectively, in Canada and Europe. The strategy will invest the majority of its capital in senior secured loans of companies primarily in less cyclical and less capital-intensive industries, with a focus on capital pres- ervation. The direct lending platform will employ a buy-and-hold approach to investing, with a goal of owning a diversiﬁed pool of investments. The direct lending platform is a natural extension of Onex Credit’s business and will leverage the ﬁrm’s infrastructure in and knowledge of the loan market. In addition, the platform will further contribute to Onex’ objective of growing fee-generating assets under management. Onex Corporation December 31, 2016 19 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 The management of fund investor capital provides two signiﬁcant beneﬁts to Onex: (i) the Company earns man- agement fees on $15.9 billion of fee-generating capital under management and (ii) Onex has the opportunity to share in the proﬁts of its investors through carried interest and incentive fee participation. This enables Onex to enhance the return from its investment activities. Onex Partners, ONCAP and Onex Credit earned a total of $135 million in management and transaction fees in 2016 (2015 – $141 million), and today Onex has run-rate management fees of $150 million for the next 12 months. Onex expects management fees and carried interest will offset ongoing operating expenses. Our private equity funds contribute $110 million to the run-rate management fees for the next 12 months. Onex does not earn any management fees on the $5.0 billion of capital it has invested or committed to its private equity funds. Onex Credit contributes $40 million to the run-rate management fees for the next 12 months, which includes $3 million of management fees earned on Onex’ capital invested in Onex Credit Funds. At December 31, 2016, Onex’ share of the unrealized carried interest on Onex Partners’ operating businesses was $197 million based on their fair values compared to $178 million at December 31, 2015. The amount of unreal- ized carried interest on Onex Partners’ businesses has increased since December 31, 2015 due to net fair value increases of certain businesses during 2016, partially offset by $14 million of carried interest realized primarily on the sale of KraussMaffei. The actual amount of carried interest realized by Onex will depend on the ultimate per- formance of each fund. At December 31, 2016, Onex managed $18.0 billion of fund investor capital, in addition to $6.3 billion of Onex capital.

One of Onex’ long-term goals is to grow its fee-generating capital by 10 percent per year. During 2016, fee-generating capital under management grew by 7 percent to $15.9 billion, driven by our success in raising ONCAP IV and two CLO issuances. Over the past ﬁve years, fee-generating capital under management has increased by 15 percent per year. In November 2016, Onex raised approximately $1.1 billion of capital commitments from limited partners for ONCAP IV, including Onex’ commitment of $480 million. We started earning management fees for ONCAP IV from the close date in early November 2016. During the initial fee period of ONCAP IV, Onex will receive annual management fees of 2.0 percent on capital committed by limited partners. 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. The following table summa- rizes the performance of the Onex Partners and ONCAP Funds from inception through December 31, 2016.

Onex Corporation December 31, 2016 21 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 Credit As of December 31, 2016, Onex had a net investment of $382 million in CLOs after dispositions and distributions, including $32 million for a warehouse facility. Onex primarily invests in the equity tranches of CLOs. 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 investors’ general appetite for risk. During 2016, the leveraged loan market experienced a recovery resulting in an increase in the market value of Onex’ CLO positions. Onex experienced a net unrealized gain on its investments in CLOs of $128 million during 2016. Onex remains a long-term investor in its CLO investments and ﬂuctuations in unrealized values may not be representative of ultimate returns. All of Onex’ CLOs remain onside their various coverage tests, and Onex received $73 million of distributions from its CLO investments during the year ended December 31, 2016. Share price 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 2016, Onex increased its quarterly dividend by 10 percent to C$0.06875 per SVS beginning in July 2016. This increase fol- lows similar increases in the previous three years and reﬂects Onex’ success and ongoing commitment to its share- holders. During 2016, $21 million was returned to shareholders through dividends and Onex repurchased 3,114,397 SVS at a total cost of $184 million (C$249 million), or an average purchase price of $58.98 (C$80.14) per share. At December 31, 2016, Onex’ SVS closed at C$91.38, an 8 percent increase from December 31, 2015. This compares to an 18 percent increase in the S&P/TSX Composite Index (“TSX”).

In April 2016, Onex completed the sale of KraussMaffei. The operations of KraussMaffei have been presented as discontinued for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015. In October 2016, the Onex Partners IV Group completed the acquisi- tion of Clarivate Analytics, the results of which have been combined with Emerald Expositions (previ- ously included in the other businesses segment) and presented as a new reportable industry segment, business and information services.

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, liabilities and equity, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses for the periods of the consolidated ﬁnancial state- ments. 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’ consolidated ﬁnancial statements are estimates used in determining the allowance for doubtful accounts, provisions for uncompensated care, inventory valuation, deferred tax assets and liabilities, allocation of purchase price consideration to 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 operating companies and structured entities. The assessment of goodwill, intan- gible assets and long-lived assets for impairment, income Business combinations In a business combination, substantially all identiﬁable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired are recorded at the date of acquisition at their respective fair 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 4 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 Corporation December 31, 2016 29 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 Onex Partners and ONCAP Funds represent the interests of limited partner investors, and carried interest, represent- Consolidation of structured entities Onex indirectly controls and consolidates the operations of ing the General Partner’s share of the net gains of the Onex the CLOs of Onex Credit.

Onex’ consolidated results include Table 7 details the change in stock-based compensation of a pre-tax gain of $102 million based on the excess of the Onex, the parent company, and Onex’ operating companies. proceeds over the carrying value of the investment. Onex’ share of the pre-tax gain was $22 million. The gain on sale was 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. As a result of the loss realized on Tropicana Las Vegas, the carried interest that would have otherwise been distributed to Onex in respect of future realizations in the Onex Partners III Fund was reduced by $7 million, as described on page 34 of this MD&A. The amount of car- ried interest ultimately received from the Onex Partners III Fund will be based on the overall performance of the Fund. Tropicana Las Vegas did not represent a major line of business, and as a result, the operating results up to the date of disposition have not been presented as a discontin- ued operation.

Carried interest charge due to Onex and ONCAP management The General Partners of the Onex Partners and ONCAP Funds are entitled to a carried interest on the realized gains of the limited partners in each fund, as determined in accordance with the limited partnership agreements, and as described on page 85 of this MD&A. Onex’ share of the carried interest change is recorded as an offset in the Limited Partners’ Interests amount in the consolidated statements of earnings. The carried interest due to management of Onex and ONCAP represents the share of the overall net gains in each of the Onex Partners and ONCAP Funds attributable to the management of Onex and ONCAP. The carried interest is estimated based on the current fair values of the underlying investments in the funds and the overall net gains in each respective fund determined in accordance with the limited partnership agreements. During 2016, a charge of $59 mil- lion (2015 – $130 million) was recorded in the consolidated statements of earnings for management’s share of carried interest primarily due to an increase in the fair value of cer- tain of the investments in the Onex Partners and ONCAP Funds. The ultimate amount of carried interest earned will be based on the overall performance of each fund. Foreign exchange loss The foreign exchange loss during 2016 was primarily due to Survitec and WireCo.

A D D I T I O N A L S O U R C E S O F C A S H Private equity funds Onex’ private equity funds provide capital for Onex- sponsored acquisitions that are not related to Onex’ oper- ating companies that existed prior to the formation of the funds. The funds provide a substantial pool of committed capital, which enables Onex to be ﬂexible and timely in responding to investment opportunities. Table 36 provides a summary of the remaining commit- ments available from limited partners at December 31, 2016. The remaining commitments for Onex Partners IV and ONCAP IV will be used for future Onex-sponsored acquisi- tions. The remaining commitments from limited partners of Onex Partners I and II are for future funding of partner- ship expenses. The remaining commitments from limited partners of ONCAP II are for possible future funding of management fees and partnership expenses. The remain- ing commitments from limited partners of Onex Partners III and ONCAP III are for possible future funding of remain- ing businesses and future funding of management fees and partnership expenses. 82 Onex Corporation December 31, 2016 possible future funding of partnership expenses. (c) The principal repayments of the promissory note by Jack’s, as described on page 33 of this MD&A, increased the uncalled commitments for the Onex Partners Funds. (d) Uncalled committed capital for ONCAP II is available only for possible future funding of management fees and partnership expenses. (e) Uncalled committed capital for ONCAP III includes bridge financing for the investment in Tecta that was returned to limited partners in January 2017. The committed amounts from the limited partners are not included in Onex’ consolidated cash and are funded as capital is called. During 2003, Onex raised its ﬁrst large-cap fund, Onex Part- ners I, with $1.655 billion of committed capital, including committed capital of $400 million from Onex. Since 2003, Onex Partners I has completed 10 investments, invest- ing $1.5 billion, including Onex. While Onex Partners I has concluded its investment period, the fund still has uncalled limited partners’ committed capital of $65 million for pos- sible future funding of partnership expenses. In January 2015, with the approval of a majority in interest of the lim- ited partners, the term of Onex Partners I was extended to February 4, 2016. In connection with this extension, the management fee was reduced to 1 percent of net funded commitments relating to Onex Partners I’s investment in ResCare only. Further, in January 2016, with the approval of a majority in interest of the limited partners, the term of Onex Partners I was extended to February 4, 2017, and in January 2017 the term was extended to February 4, 2019.

Onex Corporation December 31, 2016 95 MANAGEMENT’S RESPONSIBILITY FOR CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The accompanying consolidated ﬁnancial statements have been prepared by management, reviewed by the Audit and Corporate Governance Committee and approved by the Board of Directors of the Company. 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 of Directors. The Audit and Corporate Governance Committee reviews the consolidated ﬁnancial statements, adequacy of internal controls, audit process and ﬁnancial reporting with management and with the external auditors. The Audit and Corporate Governance Committee reports to the Board of 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 stan- dards 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 23, 2017 Christine M.

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, 2016 and December 31, 2015 and their ﬁnancial performance and their cash ﬂows for the years ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.

These consolidated ﬁnancial statements were prepared on a going concern basis, under the historical cost convention, as modiﬁed by the revaluation of available-for-sale ﬁnancial assets, and ﬁnancial assets and ﬁnancial liabilities (includ- ing derivative instruments) at fair value through total comprehen- sive earnings. The U.S. dollar is Onex’ functional currency. As such, the ﬁnancial statements have been reported on a U.S. dollar basis. The consolidated ﬁnancial statements represent the accounts of Onex and its subsidiaries, including its controlled operat- ing companies. Onex also controls and consolidates the opera- tions of Onex Partners LP (“Onex Partners I”), Onex Partners II LP (“Onex Partners II”), Onex Partners III LP (“Onex Partners III”) and Onex Partners IV LP (“Onex Partners IV”), referred to collec- tively as “Onex Partners”, and ONCAP II L.P., ONCAP III LP and ONCAP IV LP, referred to collectively as “ONCAP” (as described in note 31).

All signiﬁcant inter- company balances and transactions have been eliminated. Certain investments in operating companies over which the Company has joint control or signiﬁcant inﬂuence, but not control, are designated, upon initial recognition, at fair value through earnings. As a result, these investments are recorded at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets, with changes in fair value recognized in the consolidated statements of earnings.

During 2015, Jack’s made repayments of the promissory note, as discussed in note 3(f ). During the ﬁrst half of 2016, Jack’s made repayments of the promissory note totalling $40, 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 $12. In June 2016, the balance of $14 outstanding under the promissory note, of which Onex’ share was $4, was converted into additional equity of Jack’s in accordance with the promissory note agreement.

The secured notes and loans were offered in an aggregate principal amount of $457. Upon the closing of CLO-11, Onex received $60 plus interest for the investment that supported the warehouse facil- ity and invested $41 for 100% of the most subordinated capital of CLO-11. The asset portfolio held by CLO-11 consists of cash and cash equivalents and corporate loans, and has been designated to be recorded at fair value. The reinvestment period of CLO-11, dur- ing which reinvestment can be made in collateral, ends in April 2018, or earlier, subject to certain provisions.

Onex’ share of the distribution was $89, of which $51 related to Onex’ investment through Onex Partners III and $38 related to Onex’ co-investment. The remaining balance was primarily distributed to third-party shareholders and the management of JELD-WEN. During 2016 and 2015 several acquisitions, which were accounted for as business combinations, were completed either directly by Onex or through subsidiaries of Onex. Any third-party borrowings in respect of these acquisitions are without recourse to Onex. Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued and lia- bilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange. Identiﬁable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at fair value at the date of acquisition, irrespective of the extent of any non- controlling interests. The fair value is determined using a combi- nation of valuation techniques, including discounted cash ﬂows and projected earnings multiples. The key inputs to the valua- tion techniques include assumptions related to future customer demand, material and employee-related costs, changes in mix of products and services produced or delivered, and restructuring programs. Any non-controlling interests in the acquired com- pany are measured either at fair value or at the non-controlling interests’ proportionate share of the identiﬁable assets and liabili- ties of the acquired business. The excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquired company and, in a business combina- tion achieved in stages, the fair value at the acquisition date of the Company’s previously held interest in the acquired company 124 Onex Corporation December 31, 2016 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 compared to the fair value of the identiﬁable net assets acquired In certain circumstances where preliminary estimates are recorded as goodwill.

The expense is determined based on the fair value of the liability at the end of each reporting period. The fair value of Onex’ stock option plan is determined using an option valuation model. The signiﬁcant inputs into the model were the share price at December 31, 2016 of C$91.38 (2015 – C$84.82), the exercise price of the options, the remaining life of each option issuance, the volatility of each option issuance ranging from 18.26% to 18.66%, an average dividend yield of 0.41% and an average risk-free rate of 1.60%. The volatility is measured as the historical volatility based on the remaining life of each respec- tive option issuance. The fair values of the MIP options are determined using an internally developed valuation model. The signiﬁcant inputs into the model are the fair value of the underlying investments, the time to expected exit from each investment, a risk-free rate of 1.11% and an industry comparable historical volatility for each investment.

Transaction costs for 2016 were primarily due to the acquisi- tions of Clarivate Analytics, Save-A-Lot, Tecta and WireCo, in addition to acquisitions completed by the operating companies. Transaction costs for 2015 were primarily due to the acquisitions of Chatters, Jack’s, Schumacher, SIG and Survitec, in addition to acquisitions completed by the operating companies. d) Carried interest charge reﬂects the change in the amount of carried interest due to Onex and ONCAP management through the Onex Partners and ONCAP Funds. Unrealized carried interest is calculated based on the current fair values of the Funds’ invest- ments and the overall unrealized gains in each respective Fund in accordance with the limited partnership agreements. The unre- alized carried interest liability is recorded in other non-current liabilities and reduces the Limited Partners’ Interests, as described in note 16. The liability will ultimately be settled upon the realiza- tion of the limited partners’ share of the underlying investments in each respective Onex Partners and ONCAP Fund. During 2016, a charge of $59 (2015 – $130) was record- ed in the consolidated statements of earnings for an increase in management’s share of the carried interest primarily due to an increase in the fair value of certain of the investments in the Onex Partners and ONCAP Funds.

As a result of the trans- action, Onex no longer controls Skilled Healthcare Group, and the Company’s investment in the combined company, Genesis Healthcare, is recorded in other long-term investments at fair value through earnings, with changes in fair value recorded in other expense (income). h) During 2016, a net recovery of $39 (2015 – $76) was recognized in relation to the change in estimated fair value of contingent consid- eration related to acquisitions completed by the Company. The fair value of contingent consideration liabilities is typically based on the estimated future ﬁnancial performance of the acquired busi- ness. Financial targets used in the estimation process include cer- tain deﬁned ﬁnancial targets and realized internal rates of return. Partially offsetting the recovery for the year ended December 31, 2016 was the ﬁnal determination of the additional consideration payable based on SIG’s ﬁnancial performance in 2015. The ﬁnal determination resulted in an additional consideration of $162 (€150) being paid by SIG based on its 2015 ﬁnancial performance. The majority of the additional consideration had been accrued by SIG at December 31, 2015. The total estimated fair value of contingent consideration liabilities at December 31, 2016 was $127 (December 31, 2015 – $318).

The recoverable amount was a Level 3 measurement in the fair value hierarchy as a result of signiﬁcant unobservable inputs used other unobservable inputs used in determining the recoverable amount. The impairment charge has been recorded in the health and human services segment. d) During 2015, Celestica recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $12 to impair certain of its property, plant and equipment. e) Other in 2016 included net impairments related to Carestream Health and JELD-WEN.

The carrying value of goodwill and intangible assets with indeﬁnite useful lives is allocated on a seg- mented basis in note 34. In measuring the recoverable amounts for goodwill and intan- gible assets at December 31, 2016, signiﬁcant estimates include the growth rate and discount rate, which ranged from 0.5% to 10.2% and 9.3% to 16.4% (2015 – 0% to 14.3% and 8.3% to 16.5%), respectively. 27.

Financial instruments measured at fair value are allocated within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of input that is signiﬁcant to the fair value measurement. Transfers between the three levels of the fair value hierarchy are recognized on the date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer. There were no signiﬁcant transfers between the three levels of the fair value hierarchy during 2016. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows: • Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (“Level 1”); • Signiﬁcant other observable inputs (“Level 2”); and • Signiﬁcant other unobservable inputs (“Level 3”). 2 9. FA I R VA L U E M E A S U R E M E N T S Fair values of ﬁnancial instruments The estimated fair values of ﬁnancial instruments as at Decem- ber 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 are based on relevant market prices and information available at those dates. The carrying val- ues of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate the fair values of these ﬁnancial instruments due to the short maturity of these instruments. The fair value of consolidated long- term debt at December 31, 2016 was $23,176 (December 31, 2015 – $17,930) compared to a carrying value of $23,863 (December 31, 2015 – $18,054). The fair value of consolidated long-term debt mea- sured at amortized cost is substantially a Level 2 measurement in the fair value hierarchy and is calculated by discounting the expected future cash ﬂows using an observable discount rate for instruments of similar maturity and credit risk. For certain operat- ing companies, an adjustment is made by management for that operating company’s own credit risk, resulting in a Level 3 mea- surement in the fair value hierarchy.

At December 31, 2015, the Company also had an investment whose value was based on estimated sale proceeds. Credit risk Generally, EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization as well as other adjustments. Other adjustments can include non-cash costs of stock-based compensation and retention plans, transition and restructuring expenses including severance payments, the impact of deriva- tive instruments that no longer qualify for hedge accounting, the impacts of purchase accounting and other similar amounts. EBITDA is a measurement that is not deﬁned under IFRS. The long-term debt issued by the CLOs is recognized at fair value using third-party pricing models without adjustment by the Company. The valuation methodology is based on a projection of the future cash ﬂows expected to be realized from the underlying collateral of the CLOs. During 2016, the Company recorded a loss of $122 (2015 – gain of $110) attributable to changes in the credit risk of the long-term debt held by the CLOs. Credit risk is the risk that the counterparty to a ﬁnancial instru- ment will fail to perform its obligation and cause the Company to incur a loss. Substantially all of the cash and cash equivalents con- sist of investments in debt securities. 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 10(a). At December 31, 2016, Onex, the parent company, had $679 of cash on hand and $907 of near-cash items at market value. Cash and cash equivalents are held with ﬁnancial institutions hav- ing a current Standard & Poor’s rating of A-1+ or above. Near-cash items include short- and long-term investments managed by third- party investment managers, as described below, $376 invested in a segregated unlevered fund managed by Onex Credit and $48 in management fees receivable from limited partners of its private equity platforms.

Foreign currency exchange rates Onex’ operating companies operate autonomously as self-sus- taining companies. The functional currency of the majority of Onex’ operating companies is the U.S. dollar. However, certain operating companies conduct business outside the United States and as a result are exposed to currency risk on the portion of busi- ness that is not based on the U.S. dollar. To manage foreign cur- rency risk, certain operating companies use forward contracts to hedge all or a portion of forecasted revenues and/or costs outside their functional currencies. Additionally, where possible, Onex and its operating companies aim to reduce the exposure to for- eign currency ﬂuctuations through natural hedges by transacting owner with paramount duties to act in the best interests of Onex in local currencies. shareholders, to do so.

As interest rates change, the fair values of ﬁxed income investments are inversely impacted. Investments with shorter durations are less impacted by changes in interest rates compared to investments with lon- ger durations. At December 31, 2016, Onex’ short- and long-term investments included $348 of ﬁxed income securities measured at fair value, which are subject to interest rate risk. These securi- ties had a weighted average duration of 1.3 years. Other factors, including general economic conditions and political conditions, may also affect the value of ﬁxed income securities. These risks are monitored on an ongoing basis and the short- and long-term investments may be repositioned in response to changes in mar- ket conditions.

At December 31, 2016, the amounts potentially payable in respect of these guarantees totalled $315. In February 2016, Onex, the parent company, committed to investing $75 in Incline Aviation Fund, an aircraft investment fund to be managed by BBAM and focused on investments in con- tractually leased commercial jet aircraft. At December 31, 2016, Onex had a remaining commitment of $60 to Incline Aviation Fund. In February 2017, Mr. Gerald W. Schwartz, who is Onex’ controlling shareholder, assumed $25 of Onex’ commitment, reducing the amount committed by Onex to investing in Incline Aviation Fund to $50.

However, the ﬁnal outcome with respect to outstanding, pending or future actions cannot be predict- ed with certainty, and therefore there can be no assurance that their resolution will not have an adverse effect on Onex’ consolidated ﬁnancial position. c) Environmental contingencies The operating companies are subject to laws and regulations concerning the environment and to the risk of environmen- tal liability inherent in activities relating to their past and pres- ent operations. As conditions of acquisition agreements, certain operating companies have agreed to accept certain pre-acquisi- tion liability claims on the acquired companies after obtaining indemniﬁcation from previous owners. The Company and its operating companies also have insurance to cover costs incurred for certain environmental mat- ters. Although the effect on operating results and liquidity, if any, cannot be reasonably estimated, management of Onex and the operating companies believe, based on current information, that these environmental matters would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated The Company, which includes the operating companies, ﬁnancial condition. has also provided certain indemniﬁcations, including those related to businesses that have been sold. The maximum amounts from many of these indemniﬁcations cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. However, in certain circumstances, the Company and its operating companies have recourse against other parties to miti- gate the risk of loss from these indemniﬁcations. The Company, which includes the operating companies, has commitments with respect to real estate operating leases, which are disclosed in note 15. The aggregate commitments for capital assets at Decem - ber 31, 2016 amounted to $124, with the majority expected to be incurred between 2017 and 2018.

Included in the total was $18 (2015 – $8) contributed to multi-employer plans. 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 total deferred beneﬁt liabilities of $446 (2015 – $399) are included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets within other non-current liabilities (note 17) and other current liabilities. Of the total deferred beneﬁt liabilities, $1 (2015 – $12) was recorded as a current liability. The following assumptions were used to account for the plans: Year ended December 31 Accrued benefit obligation Weighted average discount rate(i) Weighted average rate of compensation increase (i) Weighted average discount rate includes inflation, where applicable to a benefit plan. Assumed healthcare cost trend rates Initial healthcare cost rate Cost trend rate declines to Year that the rate reaches the rate it is assumed to remain at Pension Benefits Non-Pension Post-Retirement Benefits 2016 2015 2016 2015 0.5%−6.3% 1.4%−3.9% 0.5%−4.2% 1.4%−3.9% 0.2%−3.9% 1.7%−4.6% 0.7%−4.1% 2.0%−4.6% 2016 5.9% 4.5% 2030 2015 6.2% 4.5% 2030 Onex Corporation December 31, 2016 175 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 The assumptions underlying the discount rates, rates of compensation increase and healthcare cost trend rates have a signiﬁcant effect on the amounts reported for the pension and post-retirement beneﬁt plans. A 1% change in these assumed rates would increase (decrease) the beneﬁt obligations as follows: Pension Plans in which Assets Exceed Accumulated Benefits Pension Plans in which Accumulated Benefits Exceed Assets Non-Pension Post-Retirement Benefits As at December 31, 2016 1% Increase 1% Decrease 1% Increase 1% Decrease 1% Increase 1% Decrease Discount rate Rate of compensation increase Healthcare cost trend rate $ (70) $ 5 n/a $ 93 $ (4) n/a $ (95) $ 15 n/a $ 109 $ (9) n/a $ (8) $ 2 $ 7 $ 10 $ (1) $ (6) Pension Plans in which Assets Exceed Accumulated Benefits Pension Plans in which Accumulated Benefits Exceed Assets Non-Pension Post-Retirement Benefits As at December 31, 2015 1% Increase 1% Decrease 1% Increase 1% Decrease 1% Increase 1% Decrease Discount rate Rate of compensation increase Healthcare cost trend rate $ (78) $ 6 n/a $ 102 $ (5) n/a $ (115) $ 23 n/a $ 139 $ (21) n/a $ (8) $ 1 $ 8 $ 10 $ (1) $ (6) The sensitivity analysis above is based on changing one assumption while holding all other assumptions constant. In practice, this is unlikely to occur, and changes in certain assumptions may be correlated. 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. 3 3 .
