The Company has authorized share capital of an unlimited number of common voting shares and the shares do have a stated par value.

The Company adopted a shareholder rights plan agreement (the “Rights Plan”). The Rights Plan is designed to provide adequate time for the Board of Directors and the shareholders to assess an unsolicited takeover bid for the Company, to provide the Board of Directors with sufficient time to explore and develop alternatives for maximizing shareholder value if a takeover bid is made, and to provide shareholders with an equal opportunity to participate in a takeover bid and receive full and fair value for their common shares. The Rights Plan was renewed at the Company’s annual meeting of shareholders in and is set to expire at the close of the Company’s annual meeting of shareholders in

 

The rights issued under the Rights Plan will initially attach to and trade with the common shares and separate certificates will be issued unless an event triggering these rights occurs. The rights will become exercisable only when a person, including any related person or entity, acquires or attempts to acquire or more of the outstanding common shares without complying with the “Permitted Bid” provisions of the Rights Plan or without approval of the Board of Directors. Should such an acquisition occur or be announced, each right would, upon exercise, entitle a rights holder, other than the acquiring person and related persons, to purchase common shares at a discount to the market price at the time.

 

Under the Plan, a Permitted Bid is a bid made to all holders of the common shares and which is open for acceptance for less than days. If at the end of days at least of the outstanding common shares, other than those owned by the offeror and certain related parties have been tendered, the offeror take up and pay for the common shares but must extend the bid for a further days to allow other shareholders to tender.

 

The issuance of common shares upon the exercise of the rights is subject to receipt of certain regulatory approvals.
