Reasons for the Shares Consolidation
The Company believes that a consolidation of its Common Shares may be required in order to provide for further equity financing to meet the Company's future capital requirements and to attract new equity investment in the Company. Therefore, the Company is proposing to approve the Share Consolidation on such terms as may be approved by the directors of the Company and regulatory authorities on the basis of one (1) post-consolidated Common Share for up to ten (10) pre-consolidated Common Shares.
The Board of Directors has provisionally agreed to a consolidation of the shares subject to the receipt of Shareholder approval and regulatory approvals. However, shareholders should note that even if the Consolidation Resolution is approved, the Board of Directors of the Company retains the power to revoke it at all times without any further approval by the shareholders. The Board of Directors will exercise such power in the event that it is, in its opinion, in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders.
Shareholders will be informed of the Board's intention to undertake the consolidation, if it chooses to do so, via a news release to be made on or following any such consolidation.
Any implementation of the Share Consolidation is subject to the prior approval of the TSX-V.
Description of Share Consolidation
Pursuant to the Share Consolidation, the Company would arrange to consolidate the Common Shares on such terms as may be approved by the directors of the Company and regulatory authorities, on the basis of one (1) post-consolidated Common Share for up to ten (10) pre-consolidated Common Shares. If approved and implemented, the Share Consolidation will occur simultaneously for all of the Common Shares and the consolidation ratio will be same for all of the Common Shares. The Share Consolidation will affect all shareholders uniformly (except for the treatment of post consolidated fractional Common Shares) and will not affect any Shareholder's proportional ownership interest in the Company. The Company currently has an unlimited number of Common Shares available for issuance and the Share Consolidation will not have any effect on the number of Common Shares that remain available for future issuance.
No fractional post-consolidation Common Shares will be issued and no cash will be paid in lieu of fractional post consolidation Common Shares. Any fractional Common Shares resulting from the Share Consolidation will be rounded down to the nearest whole Common Share.
The exercise or conversion price and the number of Common Shares issuable under any convertible securities of the Company will be proportionately adjusted if the Share Consolidation is affected.
