TORONTO (May 25, 2009)– Manulife Financial Corporation ("Manulife") today announced that as a result of strong investor demand for its Canadian public offering of Non-cumulative Rate Reset Class 1 Shares Series 1 ("Series 1 Preferred Shares"), which was announced earlier today, the size of the offering has been increased to 14 million shares. The gross proceeds of the offering will now be $350 million. There will not be an underwriters option, as was previously granted.
