Quebecor has formed a strategic partnership with the non-profit organization that owns Montreal’s Imperial Theatre to ensure the historic building is preserved and developed as a cultural venue. Quebecor has acquired the property’s substantial mortgage debt, thus stopping repossession proceedings. The partnership makes it possible for the non-profit to retain ownership, while Quebecor will have priority rental rights. The Imperial Theatre’s board of directors will now have six members including Quebecor CFO Jean-François Pruneau and Marc M. Tremblay, senior VP, Chief Legal Affairs and Public Affairs and Corporate Secretary.
