A holder may vote in favor or some but not all of the Extraordinary Resolutions as it selects. If some but not all of the Extraordinary Resolutions are approved, the Company may elect to proceed with those of the Extraordinary Resolutions which are approved.
The Extraordinary Resolutions will become binding on all Debentureholders if they are approved:
-
At the Meeting, by the holders of at least 66⅔% of the principal amount of the Debentures present in person or by proxy at the Meeting, or any adjournment thereof; or
-
In writing, by the holders of at least 66⅔% of the outstanding principal amount of the Debentures.
Accordingly, it is important that your Debentures be represented and voted whether or not you plan to attend the Meeting. If the Extraordinary Resolution is validly approved by Debentureholders in writing prior to the date of the Meeting, the Meeting will be cancelled and will not proceed. In such event, Debentureholders will be notified in writing by the Company that the Meeting has been cancelled.
The Board of Directors has established the close of business on May 29, 2020 as the record date for the Debentureholders ’ Meeting ( “ Record Date ”). Only Debentureholders of record at the close of business on the Record Date will be entitled to notice of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof and to vote at the Meeting. No Debentureholder becoming a Debentureholder of record after such time will be entitled to vote at the Meeting or any adjournment thereof.
The Debentures have been issued in the form of global certificates registered in the name of CDS & Co. and, as such, CDS & Co. is the sole registered Debentureholder. Only registered Debentureholders, or their duly appointed proxyholders, have the right to vote at the Debentureholder Meeting, or to appoint or revoke a proxy. However, CDS & Co., or its duly
appointed proxyholders, may only vote the Debentures in accordance with instructions received from the beneficial Debentureholders. Beneficial Debentureholders as of the Record Date wishing to vote their Debentures at the Meeting must provide instructions to their broker or other intermediary through which they hold their Debentures in sufficient time prior to the deadline for depositing proxies for the Meeting to permit their broker or other nominee to instruct CDS & Co., or its duly appointed proxyholders, as to how to vote their Debentures at the Meeting.
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and provincial health orders limiting the number of persons in public gatherings, the Company has determined not to hold an in-person meeting. Debentureholders will have two options to access the Meeting, being via teleconference or through the Zoom application, which requires internet connectivity. As the sole registered holder of the Debentures is CDS & Co., Debentureholders will not be able to vote at the Meeting itself.
