In conducting their review and approval process with respect to the Private Placement, the board of directors of the Corporation has determined that the distribution of an information circular to shareholders, the preparation and distribution of a formal valuation and the seeking of shareholder approval for, and in connection with, the Private Placement is not necessary under MI 61-101, because:
- for the purposes of Section 5.5(a) of MI 61-101 the Board have determined, in good faith, that neither Common Shares issued to, nor the aggregate consideration to be paid by, each of the Related Parties in connection with the Private Placement will exceed 25 per cent of the market capitalization of the Corporation on the date hereof, and on that basis the Private Placement falls within an exemption from a formal valuation requirement of Section 5.4 of MI 61-101; and
- for the purposes of Section 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 the Board have determined, in good faith, that neither the Common Shares issued to, nor the aggregate consideration to be paid by, each of the Related Parties in connection with the Private Placement will exceed 25 per cent of the market capitalization of the Corporation on the date hereof, and on that basis the Private Placement falls within an exemption to the minority shareholder approval requirement of Section 5.6 of MI 61-101.
The Private Placement is currently expected to close within the next few weeks. A material change report in respect of the Private Placement will be filed on closing of the Private Placement at which time the participation of the Related Parties in the Private Placement will be finalized and disclosed. As a result, the Corporation will not be able to file a material change report 21 days prior to the closing of the Private Placement.
