ARTICLE 4.
ADJUSTMENT FOR WARRANTS
4.1 |
Adjustment for Warrants |
The Exercise Price in effect and the number and type of securities purchasable under the Warrants at any date shall be subject to adjustments from time to time as follows:
(a) |
if and whenever at any time prior to the Expiry Date, the Corporation shall: (i) subdivide or redivide the outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of shares, (ii) reduce, combine or consolidate the outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of shares, or (iii) issue Common Shares to the holders of all or substantially all of the outstanding Common Shares by way of a stock dividend (other than the issue of Common Shares to holders of Common Shares who have elected to receive dividends in the form of Common Shares in lieu of Dividends Paid in the Ordinary Course (as defined below)) (any of such events herein called a “Common Share Reorganization”), the Exercise Price in effect on the effective date of any such event shall be adjusted immediately after such event or on the record date for such issue of Common Shares by way of stock dividend, as the case may be, so that it shall equal the amount determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such event by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to such event and of which the denominator shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after such event. The number of Common Shares which the Holder is entitled to purchase for each Warrant shall be adjusted at the same time by multiplying the number of Common Shares which the Holder is entitled to acquire prior to such adjustment by the inverse of the aforesaid fraction. Any such adjustments shall be made successively whenever any event referred to in this subparagraph (a) shall occur and any such issue of Common Shares by way of a stock dividend shall be deemed to have been made on the record date for the stock dividend for the purpose of calculating the number of outstanding Common Shares immediately after such event under subparagraphs (a) and (c) of this paragraph. |
(b) |
If and whenever at any time prior to the Expiry Date the Corporation shall fix a record date for the issuance of rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all of the holders of the outstanding Common Shares, entitling them, for a period expiring not more than 45 days after such record date (the “Rights Period”), to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares) at a price per share (or having a conversion or exchange price per share) less than 95% of the Current Market Price on such record date (any of such events being hereinafter called a “Rights Offering”), the Corporation shall give the Holder written notice of such proposed issuance of rights, options or warrants at least 15 days prior to such record date at the Holder’s latest address on the books of the Corporation, and the Exercise Price shall be adjusted effective immediately after the end of the Rights Period to a price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the end of the Rights Period by a fraction: |
(i) |
the numerator of which shall be the aggregate of: |
(a) the number of Common Shares outstanding as of the record date for the Rights Offering, and
(b) a number determined by dividing: (i) either (1) the product of the number of Common Shares issued or subscribed for during the Rights Period upon the exercise of the rights, warrants, or options distributed under the Rights Offering and the price per share at which such Common Shares are acquired; or, as the case may be, or (2) the product of the exchange or conversion price of the securities distributed under the Rights Offering and the number of Common Shares for or into which such securities were exchanged or converted during the Rights Period; by (ii) the Current Market Price of the Common Shares as of the record date for the Rights Offering; and
(ii) |
the denominator of which shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after the end of the Rights Period (after giving effect to the Rights Offering, including the number of Common Shares actually issued or subscribed for during the Rights Period upon exercise of the rights, warrants or options (or securities derived therefrom) distributed under the Rights Offering). |
Any Common Shares owned by or held for the account of the Corporation shall be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such calculation.
(c) |
If at any time after the date hereof and prior to the Expiry Date, the Corporation shall fix a record date for the issue or distribution to the holders of all or substantially all of the Common Shares of: |
(i) |
shares of the Corporation of any class other than Common Shares; |
(ii) |
rights, options or warrants to acquire Common Shares or securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares (other than rights, options or warrants pursuant to which holders of Common Shares are entitled, during a period expiring not more than 45 days after the record date for such issue, to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares at a price per share (or in the case of securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares at an exchange or conversion price per share at the date of issue of such securities) of at least 95% of the Current Market Price of the Common Shares on such record date); |
(iii) |
evidences of indebtedness of the Corporation; or |
(iv) |
any property or assets of the Corporation (for greater certainty, excluding a cash Dividend Paid in the Ordinary Course); |
and if such issue or distribution does not constitute a Common Share Reorganization or a Rights Offering (any of such non-excluded events being herein called a “Special Distribution”), the Exercise Price shall be adjusted effective immediately after the record date for the Special Distribution to the amount determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect on the record date for the Special Distribution by a fraction:
(A) the numerator of which shall be the difference between:
(I) |
the product of the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date and the Current Market Price of the Common Shares on such record date, and |
(II) |
the fair value, as determined by the directors of the Corporation, to the holders of the Common Shares of the shares, rights, options, warrants, evidences of indebtedness or property or assets to be issued or distributed in the Special Distribution, and |
(B) the denominator of which shall be the product obtained by multiplying the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date by the Current Market Price of the Common Shares on such record date.
Any Common Shares owned by or held for the account of the Corporation shall be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of such calculation. To the extent that any adjustment in the Exercise Price occurs pursuant to this item 4.1(c) as a result of the fixing by the Corporation of a record date for the issue or distribution of rights, options or warrants to acquire Common Shares or securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares referred to in this item 4.1(c), the Exercise Price shall be readjusted immediately after the expiry of any relevant exercise, exchange or conversion right to the amount which would then be in effect if the fair market value had been determined on the basis of the number of Common Shares issued and remaining issuable immediately after such expiry, and shall be further readjusted in such manner upon the expiry of any further such right.
(d) |
For the purpose of any determination in this paragraph, the “Current Market Price” per Common Share at any date shall be the weighted average price per share for such shares for any 20 consecutive trading days (such 20 consecutive trading days being selected by the Corporation) commencing not more than 45 trading days before such date on any recognized exchange in North America or, if the Common Shares are not listed on such stock exchange, on such stock exchange on which such Common Shares are listed as may be selected for such purpose by the board of directors of the Corporation, or if such Common Shares are not listed on any stock exchange then as determined in good faith by the board of directors of the Corporation. The weighted average price shall be determined by dividing the aggregate sale price of all such Common Shares sold on the said exchange or market, as the case may be, during the said 20 consecutive trading days by the total number of such Common Shares so sold. If such Common Shares are not listed on any stock exchange or traded on an over-the-counter market, the Current Market Price shall be determined in good faith by the board of directors of the Corporation. |
(e) |
For the purpose of any determination in this paragraph, “Dividends Paid in the Ordinary Course” means cash dividends declared payable on the Common Shares in any fiscal year of the Corporation to the extent that such cash dividends do not exceed, in the aggregate, the greatest of: (i) 200% of the aggregate amount of cash dividends declared payable by the Corporation on the Common Shares in its immediately preceding fiscal year, (ii) 300% of the arithmetic mean of the aggregate amounts of cash dividends declared payable by the Corporation on the Common Shares in its three immediately preceding fiscal years and (iii) 100% of the aggregate consolidated net income of the Corporation, before extraordinary items, for its immediately preceding fiscal year. |
(f) |
If and whenever at any time prior to the Expiry Date there is a reclassification of the Common Shares at any time outstanding or a change of the Common Shares into other shares or a capital reorganization of the Corporation not covered in subparagraph (a) or a consolidation amalgamation or merger of the Corporation with or into any other corporation or a sale of the property and assets of the Corporation as or substantially as an entirety to any other person, a Holder of Warrants which have not been exercised prior to the effective date of such reclassification, capital reorganization, consolidation, amalgamation, merger or sale shall, upon the exercise of such Warrants, be entitled to receive and shall accept in lieu of the number of Common Shares as then constituted and to which the Holder was previously entitled upon exercise of the Warrants, for the same aggregate consideration payable therefor, the number of shares or other securities or property of the Corporation or of the corporation resulting from such reclassification, capital reorganization, consolidation, amalgamation or merger or of the person to which such sale may be made, as the case may be, that such Holder would have been entitled to receive on such reclassification, capital reorganization, consolidation, amalgamation, merger or sale on the effective date thereof had the Holder been the registered holder of the number of Common Shares to which the Holder was previously entitled upon due exercise of the Warrants; and in any case, necessary and appropriate adjustments shall be made in the application of the provisions herein with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Holders of the Warrants to the end that the provisions set forth herein shall thereafter correspondingly be made applicable, as nearly as may reasonably be, in relation to any shares or securities or property to which the Holder of Warrants may be entitled upon the exercise of such Warrants thereafter. |
(g) |
In any case in which this paragraph requires that an adjustment become effective immediately after a record date for an event referred to herein, the Corporation may defer, until the occurrence of such event, issuing to the Holder of any Warrant exercised after such record date and before the occurrence of such event the kind and amount of shares, other securities or property to which he would be entitled upon such exercise by reason of the adjustment required by such event, provided that the Corporation shall deliver to such Holder an appropriate instrument evidencing such Holder’s right to receive the kind and amount of shares, other securities or property to which he would be entitled upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment and the right to receive any distributions made or declared in favor of holders of record of Common Shares as constituted from time to time on and after such date as such Holder would, but for the provisions of this subparagraph (g), have received, or become entitled to receive, on such exercise. |
(h) |
The adjustments provided for in this paragraph are cumulative and shall apply to successive subdivision, redivisions, reductions, combinations, consolidations, distributions, issues or other events resulting in any adjustment under the provisions of this paragraph, provided that notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph: (i) no adjustment of the Exercise Price or number of Common Shares, as then constituted, purchasable shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in the Exercise Price then in effect or of the number of Common Shares, as then constituted, purchasable and (ii) any adjustments which by reason of this subparagraph (h) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. |
(i) |
In the event of any question arising with respect to the adjustments provided in this paragraph, such question shall be conclusively determined by the auditors of the Corporation. The auditors shall have access to all necessary records of the Corporation and such determination shall be binding upon the Corporation and the Holder. |
(j) |
As a condition precedent to the taking of any action which would require an adjustment in any of the subscription rights pursuant to any of the Warrants, including the number of Common Shares which are to be received upon the exercise thereof, the Corporation shall take any action which, in the opinion of Counsel, may be necessary in order that the Corporation may validly and legally issue as fully paid and non-assessable all the Common Shares which the Holder of such Warrants is entitled to receive on the full exercise thereof in accordance with the provisions hereof. |
(k) |
No adjustments shall be made pursuant to this paragraph if the Holder is entitled to participate in any event described in this paragraph on the same terms, mutatis mutandis, as if the Holder had exercised his Warrants prior to or on the effective date or record date of such event. |
(l) |
In case the Corporation shall take any action, other than action described in this paragraph, affecting the Common Shares which, in the opinion of the Board of Directors of the Corporation would materially affect the rights of the Holder, the Exercise Price and/or the number of Common Shares which may be acquired upon exercise of a Warrant shall be adjusted by action of the Board of Directors in such manner and at such time as they may determine in their sole discretion to be equitable in the circumstances, provided that no such adjustment will be made unless prior approval of all stock exchanges on which the Common Shares are listed for trading has been obtained. Failure of the Board of Directors to make such an adjustment shall be conclusive evidence that the Board of Directors have determined that it is equitable to make no adjustments in the circumstances. |
Immediately after the occurrence of any event which requires an adjustment pursuant to this paragraph in the Exercise Price or in any of the subscription rights pursuant to any of the Warrants, including the number of Common Shares, as then constituted, which are to be received upon the exercise thereof, the Corporation shall forthwith deliver to the Holder a certificate of the Corporation specifying the particulars of such event and the required adjustment and the computation of such adjustment and give at least 14 days’ notice to the Holder of Warrants of the record date or effective date of such event, as the case maybe, and such notice shall include particulars of such event and the required adjustment.
4.2 |
Entitlement to Common Share on Exercise of Warrant |
All Common Shares or other securities which the Holder is at the time in question entitled to receive on the exercise of its Warrant whether or not as a result of adjustments made pursuant to this Article 4, shall, for the purposes of the interpretation of this Agreement, be deemed to be securities which the Holder is entitled to acquire pursuant to hereto.
4.3 |
No Adjustment for Certain Transactions |
Anything in this Article 4 to the contrary notwithstanding, no adjustment shall be made in the acquisition rights attached to the Warrants if the issue of Common Shares is being made pursuant to any stock option or stock purchase plan in force from time to time for officers or employees of the Corporation or a public offering to persons at arm’s length to the Corporation pursuant to a prospectus.
ARTICLE 5.

5.1 |
General Covenants |
