OVERVIEW
- Equity raising to provide capacity to pursue further social infrastructure property investments
Equity raising
Strategic rationale
-
Equity raising to provide capacity to pursue further social infrastructure property investments: a fully underwritten $50 million institutional placement (“Institutional Placement”)
-
a non-underwritten Security Purchase Plan (“SPP”) to eligible securityholders to raise up to $10 million[1 ]
-
• New securities issued under the Institutional Placement will be issued at a fixed price of $2.28 per security which represents a 5.0% discount to the closing price of $2.40 per security on 1 June 2020 and be entitled to the distribution for H2 FY20[2]
-
• Track record of deploying capital in a disciplined manner; equity raising provides capacity to continue to contribute to Arena’s investment objective to provide predictable distributions with earnings growth prospects over the medium to long term
-
• Continued focus on growth opportunities that exhibit some or all of the following investment characteristics: Relatively long lease terms Premises that have strategic importance to the operation of the tenant High credit quality or government tenants
-
Leases where tenants are responsible for substantially all statutory and operating outgoings and costs including land tax, insurance and repairs and maintenance
Financial impact
-
Existing FY20 Distribution Per Security (“DPS”) guidance of 13.9 – 14.0 cents[3 ] is maintained H2 FY20 payout ratio adjusted so the distribution reflects rent receivable for the six month period net of rent deferrals
-
• Pro forma 31 December 2019 gearing reduced to 17.6%[4,5 ]
-
• Independent preliminary draft valuations of 100% of Arena’s portfolio received as at 1 June 2020 provide for an overall increase in portfolio value as at 30 June 2020 in the order of $15 million which is equal to approximately 5 cents per security (NAV at 31 December 2019 was $2.18) - these valuations are in draft and are preliminary and remain subject to finalisation and audit, and as such may be subject to further change
-
Eligible securityholders as at 7:00pm (AEST) on 1 June 2020 with a registered address in Australia or New Zealand. The Arena Board may (in its absolute discretion), where the total applications under the SPP exceed $10 million, determine to increase the amount raised to reduce or eliminate the need to scale-back.
-
New securities issued under the SPP will not be entitled to the H2 FY20 distribution and the issue price of SPP securities will be adjusted down accordingly.
-
Estimated on a status quo basis assuming no new acquisitions or disposals, developments in progress are completed in line with forecast assumptions, and tenants comply with their existing or adjusted lease obligations. It includes the impact of the Institutional Placement and the SPP.
-
Gearing calculated as ratio of borrowings over total assets; includes the impact of the Institutional Placement but does not include any impact attributable to SPP.
-
Includes post 31 December 2019 borrowing facility limit increase of $50 million.

-
TRACK RECORD OF CAPITAL DEPLOYMENT Proven ability to deploy capital and generate predictable distributions with growth prospects over the medium to long term
-
Over the last 3 years, Arena has, on average, deployed approximately $75m per annum into developments and acquisitions
-
Since IPO (June 2013), Arena has actively managed its portfolio, completing 37 operating asset acquisitions, completed (or has in progress) 56 development projects and disposed of 26 assets to support growth and enhance portfolio quality
-
Our focus on real estate fundamentals within the social infrastructure sector has delivered on our investment objective for securityholders
-
Equity raising positions the business to continue its growth strategy – both via development and acquisition – across the social infrastructure sector

OPERATING ENVIRONMENT CONT. Arena’s properties accommodate the provision of essential services for Australian communities Childcare and healthcare operating conditions
-
Under the National Cabinet Mandatory Code of Conduct (“Commercial Code”), landlords are obliged to provide eligible tenants rental relief in proportion to reduction in trade
-
Rent relief agreements have been reached to date where justified
-
Arena has to date received approximately 90% of rental payments from tenants for the last 3 months (March to May 2020)
-
Rent relief provided to tenants has largely been deferred; the level of rental abatement for the last 3 months (March to May 2020) is not material
-
Arena estimates that approximately 23% of its tenants are Small and Medium sized Enterprises (“SME”) covered by the Commercial Code
Risks and uncertainties remain
-
ELC profitability constrained by increasing attendances and therefore rising costs being incurred at a time when Government funding has been fixed and operators are unable to charge fees
-
The Federal Government is reviewing the Early Childhood Education and Care Relief Package and future support of the early learning sector beyond 30 June 2020 and until this is clarified, uncertainties will remain
-
COVID-19 continues to provide an environment of heightened economic uncertainty – refer to page 18 for key risks
-
Strong fundamental demand drivers
Strong macroeconomic drivers supporting Australian ELC and healthcare sectors
-
Provision of childcare remains integral to getting Australians back to work
-
Continued Government support

-
The Arena Board may (in its absolute discretion), where the total applications under the SPP exceed $10 million, determine to increase the amount raised to reduce or eliminate the need to scale-back. 2. For this purpose, an eligible institutional securityholder’s ‘pro-rata’ share will be estimated by reference to Arena’s beneficial register on 15 May 2020, but without undertaking any reconciliation and ignoring securities that may be issued under the SPP. Accordingly, unlike in a rights issue, this may not truly reflect the participating securityholder’s actual pro-rata share. Nothing in this Presentation gives a securityholder a right or entitlement to participate in the Placement and Arena has no obligation to reconcile assumed holdings (e.g. for recent trading or swap positions) when determining a securityholder’s ‘pro-rata’ share. Institutional securityholders who do not reside in Australia or other eligible jurisdictions will not be able to participate in the Placement. See the Appendix for the eligible jurisdictions and selling restrictions relevant to these jurisdictions. Arena and the underwriter disclaims any duty or liability (including for negligence) in respect of the determination of a securityholder’s ‘pro-rata’ share.
-
Eligible institutional securityholders who bid in excess of their ‘pro-rata’ share as determined by Arena and the underwriter are expected to be allocated a minimum of their ‘pro-rata’ share on a best endeavours basis as set out in footnote 2 above, and any excess may be subject to scale back. 4. Eligible securityholders are holders of existing Arena securities as at 7:00pm (AEST) on 1 June 2020 with a registered address in Australia or New Zealand.
-
Estimated on a status quo basis assuming no new acquisitions or disposals, developments in progress are completed in line with forecast assumptions, and tenants comply with their existing or adjusted lease obligations, it includes the impact of the Institutional Placement and SPP.

KEY RISKS
Investors should carefully consider the risk factors described below. If you require further information regarding the appropriateness or potential risks of investing in Arena, you should seek appropriate financial, legal, taxation and other necessary advice. All investments involve risk and there are many factors that can impact on the performance of an investment. This summary details some of the major risks that you should be aware of when investing in Arena. Investors should be aware that the list of risks described below may not cover all possibilities and should also consider risks specific to their situation. When considering whether to invest in Arena, investors should have particular regard to the risks and uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic which could have a material adverse impact on Arena’s risk profile and its financial position and performance. The risks detailed below may change after the date of Presentation and other risks relevant to Arena may arise which could have an impact on Arena and the price of the Securities (including Placement Securities).
Key risks relating to Arena
(a) COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the Australian and global economy and the ability of individuals, companies and governments to operate. All industries have been materially affected by the pandemic. Events relating to COVID-19, have resulted in significant market volatility in securities trading on the ASX (including on the price of Arena securities) and on other foreign securities exchanges.
There is uncertainty as to the duration, and further impact, of COVID-19, including in respect of government, regulatory and health authority actions and restrictions, employment schemes (including the Australian Federal Government JobKeeper payment scheme), childcare support schemes, restrictions on quarantine, travel and public gatherings, and social distancing requirements on the economy, the ASX and wider securities markets, Arena and the tenants of Arena properties. These factors could have a major impact on Arena’s operations, performance and growth. The Government’s measures to limit the transmission of the virus (including, but not limited to, the aforementioned social distancing and quarantine policies, and the temporary prohibition on the operation of non-essential services) have resulted in major disruptions to business and the Australian and wider global economy. This has caused significant volatility in global financial markets. The extent of the impact on Arena’s operations, financial performance and cash flow is significantly dependent on future factors which are uncertain and outside of the control of Arena. These factors could have a material adverse effect on the overall economy and impact upon Arena’s business and financial performance.
The significance of the impact of COVID-19 on Arena will largely depend upon the extent to which Arena’s tenants, and their ability to pay rent, is impacted by COVID-19. The National Cabinet’s mandatory Code of Conduct for commercial tenancies (“Code of Conduct”) which, among other things, imposes obligations on landlords to negotiate rent reductions, waivers and deferrals in good faith with commercial tenants may have a material adverse impact on the rent revenue of Arena and its financial performance. Further, the impact of COVID-19 on Arena’s operations and financial performance is dependent on when government mandated restrictions are eased, particularly the lockdown measures, and whether certain government support and relief packages will be extended (including the Early Childhood Education and Care Relief package and the JobKeeper payment scheme).
COVID-19 may also affect the operations of Arena’s suppliers. As such, Arena’s financial position and performance may be materially impacted if its suppliers are unable to continue operating as going concerns.
(b) Concentration risk
The current portfolio of Arena is invested in childcare centres, healthcare properties and childcare development sites. Adverse events to the childcare and/or healthcare property sectors including, but not limited to, COVID-19 factors, may result in general deterioration of tenants’ ability to meet their lease obligations across the portfolio or to future growth prospects of the current portfolio. The childcare sector is also currently particularly dependent on government support as a result of COVID-19. Any material deterioration in the operating performance of tenants may result in them not meeting their lease obligations which could reduce Arena’s income and portfolio value if a suitable replacement cannot be found.
(c) Tenant risk
Arena relies on tenants to generate the majority of its revenue. A substantial proportion of Arena’s tenants are not for profit companies limited by guarantee or private companies. If a tenant is affected by financial difficulties it may default on its rental or other contractual obligations which may result in loss of rental income or losses to the value of Arena’s properties. Further, the Code of Conduct restricts the ability of landlords to recover rent from commercial tenants in certain circumstances. If there is a sustained negative impact on rental income, then this could potentially have a material adverse impact on the value of Arena and the Securities (including the Placement Securities).
(d) Macroeconomic risk
The operations and performance of Arena is influenced by the macroeconomic condition of the Australian and the wider global economy. As a result of COVID-19 and other factors, it is likely that Australia will experience an economic downturn. It is expected that a prolonged economic downturn and its related effects, including increasing rates of unemployment, could have a material adverse impact on Arena’s business or financial performance.
(e) Licensing
The provision of childcare and healthcare services are regulated activities. There is therefore a risk that if the relevant tenants’ licence is revoked, no suitably qualified replacement tenant may be found.
20 A R E N A R E I T J U N E 2 0 2 0 E Q U I T Y R A I S I N G
==> picture [106 x 125] intentionally omitted <==
KEY RISKS
(f) Government policy risk and change in law
Childcare and healthcare operators rely heavily on government funding which, if reduced, may adversely impact the underlying demand for these services and therefore tenants’ ability to meet lease obligations and/or their demand for these properties. Of particular relevance is the early childhood education and care relief support package announced by the Australian Federal Government on 2 April 2020 and whether it is extended beyond its end date of 28 June 2020. There is a risk that there may be changes in legislation, government policies or legal or judicial interpretation relating to the childcare and/or healthcare sectors.
(g) Alternative use risk
The risks associated with investing in property assets can be greater for special purpose facilities such as childcare and healthcare properties, which may require extensive expenditure and rezoning to be suitable for other commercial purposes. Arena’s performance depends in part on the demand for childcare and healthcare properties in Australia. Most childcare and healthcare properties would require extensive expenditure and rezoning to be suitable for other commercial purposes
- .
(h) Acquisitions and divestments
Arena may intend to make additional acquisitions of assets in accordance with its investment strategy. Future acquisitions may affect Arena’s financial performance. The value of Arena’s properties may vary as a consequence of general market conditions, the property market, or factors specific to an individual property. Arena may be required to sell one or more properties, which may result in a capital loss.
(i) Re-leasing and vacancy
There is a risk that Arena may not be able to negotiate suitable lease extensions with existing tenants or replace outgoing tenants with new tenants on substantially the same terms. Arena could also incur additional costs associated with re-leasing the properties. Re-leasing the properties would depend on numerous market conditions and financial considerations prevalent at that time.
(j) Rental income
Distributions made by Arena are largely dependent upon the rents received from its property portfolio and expenses incurred during operations. Arena has made a number of assumptions in relation to the level of rental income Arena will receive. However, rental income may differ from those assumptions and may be affected by a number of factors, including:
-
COVID-19 and related government policies and legislation;
-
overall macroeconomic conditions;
-
competition from other childcare centres and healthcare properties;
-
the financial condition of tenants;
-
increase in rental arrears and vacancy periods;
-
changes in government policies relating to the childcare and healthcare sectors; and
-
supply and demand in the property market
(k) Property valuations
Changes in the property market, especially changes in the valuation of properties and in market rents, may adversely affect Arena’s financial performance and the price of Arena Securities (including Placement Securities). The impact of COVID-19 may also have a material adverse effect on property valuations and market rents. In addition, the valuations of Arena’s properties are the best estimates at the time of undertaking the valuation and may not reflect the actual price a property would realise if sold. The valuations are subject to a number of assumptions which may prove to be inaccurate.
(l) General development risk
In certain circumstances, Arena may be exposed to development risk, resulting from the development of new properties, the refurbishment of existing properties or additions and extensions to existing properties. Property development carries a
-
number of risks, including: • issues surrounding applications for planning approvals from local authorities which can result in delays or require amendments to plans both of which may result in increased costs;
-
• breach of contract by building contractors; and
-
unforeseen circumstances which cause project delays or increases to building costs.
-
unforeseen circumstances which cause project delays or increases to building costs.
21 A R E N A R E I T J U N E 2 0 2 0 E Q U I T Y R A I S I N G
==> picture [106 x 125] intentionally omitted <==
KEY RISKS
A number of factors affect the earnings, cash flows and valuations of commercial property developments, including construction costs, scheduled completion dates and securing tenants at estimated rental income.
(m) Property liquidity
Property assets are by their nature illiquid investments. Arena may not be able to realise the assets within a short period of time or may not be able to realise assets at valuation. This may affect Arena’s net asset value or the trading price of Arena Securities.
(n) Environmental issues
As with any property, there is a risk that one or more of Arena’s properties may be contaminated now or in the future. Government environmental authorities may require that such contamination be remediated. There is always a residual risk that Arena may be required to undertake any such remediation at its own cost which would adversely impact on Arena’s financial performance.
In addition, environmental laws impose penalties for environmental damage and contamination which can be material in size. Exposure to hazardous substance at a property within Arena’s portfolio could result in personal injury claims. Such a claim could prove greater than the value of the contaminated property. An environmental issue may also result in interruptions to the operations of a property, including the closure of the property. Any lost income caused by such an interruption to operations may not be recoverable.
(o) Occupational health and safety
There is a risk that liability arising from occupational health and safety matters at one or more of Arena’s properties may be attributable to Arena as the landlord instead of, or as well as, the tenant. To the extent that any liabilities may be borne by Arena, this may impact upon the financial performance of Arena (to the extent not covered by insurance). In addition, penalties may be imposed upon Arena which may have an adverse impact on Arena.
(p) Capital expenditure
There is a risk that capital expenditure may exceed Arena’s current forecasts which could adversely impact Arena’s financial performance. Any requirement for unforeseen expenditure on the properties could impact on the performance of Arena.
(q) Insurance
Arena maintains a range of insurances relating to its properties with policy specifications and insured limits that it believes to be customary in the industry. However, potential losses of a catastrophic nature such as those arising from earthquakes, terrorism or severe flooding may be uninsurable or not insurable on reasonable financial terms, may not be insured at full replacement costs or may be subject to large excesses. The nature and cost of insurance has been based upon the best estimate of likely circumstances. However, various factors may influence premiums to a greater extent than those forecast, which may in turn have a negative impact on the financial performance of Arena. Further, any increase in the cost of premiums, or an inability to fully renew or claim against insurance policies as a result of COVID-19 or the economic climate, could adversely affect Arena’s business, financial condition and operational results.
(r) Investment characteristics
Arena is exposed to the risks associated with the external management of investment syndicates, including the wind down of such investment syndicates and the associated loss of management fee income and cost recoveries.
(s) Regulatory risks
Arena conducts its business in a highly regulated industry and must comply with the requirements of its Australian Financial Services Licence, the Corporations Act, ASIC, ASX and other regulators. Non-compliance with regulatory requirements may result in financial penalties, additional expense or reputation damage to Arena. In addition, changes to regulation may result in increased costs to Arena in order to comply with regulatory requirements, and an increased risk of non-compliance with new and complex regulation.
(t) Dependency on key staff
The specialised nature of Arena’s asset portfolio requires a manager with extensive experience in the childcare and healthcare sectors. The loss of key staff or inability to attract new qualified staff could adversely affect Arena’s operations and performance.

KEY RISKS

Key risks relating to investing in Arena Securities (including Placement Securities)
(a) Economic and market conditions
A number of factors affect the performance of the equity market, which could affect the price at which Arena Securities (including Placement Securities) trade on the ASX. Among other things, movements on international and domestic stock markets, interest rates, exchange rates, inflation and inflationary expectations and overall economic conditions, economic cycles, investor sentiment, political events and levels of economic growth, both domestically and internationally as well as government taxation and other policy changes may affect the demand for, and price of Arena Securities (including Placement Securities). Additionally, equity markets can experience price and volume fluctuations that may be unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of Arena.
(b) Distribution guidance
No assurances can be provided in relation to the payment of future distributions. Future determinations as to the payment of distributions by Arena will be at the discretion of Arena and will depend upon the availability of profits, the operating results and financial conditions of Arena, future capital requirements, covenants in relevant debt facilities, general business and financial conditions and other factors considered relevant by Arena. No assurance can be given in relation to the level of tax deferral of future distributions. Tax deferred capacity will depend upon the amount of tax depreciation available and other factors.
(c) Trading liquidity
Liquidity of Arena Securities (including Placement Securities) will be independent on the relative volume of buyers and sellers in the market at any given time, which may be impacted by various factors. Large Security holders choosing to trade out of their positions may also affect the market by absorbing trading liquidity.
(d) Dilution risk
As Arena issues Securities (including Placement Securities) to new Investors, existing Security holders’ proportional beneficial ownership in the underlying assets of Arena and proportional entitlement of any distributions may be reduced. For example, if you do not participate in a future entitlement offer, then your beneficial ownership in Arena may be diluted.
(e) Funding
Arena’s ability to raise funds on favourable terms from either debt or equity sources in the future depends on a number of factors, including, the state of debt and equity markets, the general economic and political climate and the performance, reputation and financial strength of Arena and the value of the properties. Changes to any of these or other factors could lead to an increase in the cost of funding, limited access to capital, an increased refinancing risk for Arena and an inability to expand operations or acquire assets in order to benefit Arena. There is a risk that, if the impact of COVID-19 is prolonged, Arena may need to take additional measures (in addition to this Placement) to raise funds in order to respond appropriately.
Other risks related to Arena and property fund investments (a) Interest rates
Unfavourable movements in interest rates relating to Arena’s existing debt facilities could lead to increased interest expense, to the extent that interest rates are not hedged.
(b) Banking obligation risk
Under Arena’s debt facilities, Arena is subject to a number of undertakings and covenants, including in relation to gearing levels and interest cover ratios. An event of default would occur if Arena fails to maintain these financial covenants. This may be caused by unfavourable movements in interest rates (to the extent interest rates are not hedged) or deterioration in the income or the value of Arena’s investments. In the event that an event of default occurs, the lender may require immediate repayment of Arena’s debt facilities. Arena may need to dispose of assets for less than valuation, raise additional equity or reduce or suspend distributions in order to repay Arena’s debt facilities, if this occurs.
(c) Financing
There is a risk that Arena may not be able to refinance its debt facilities and/or interest rate hedge before expiry or may not be able to refinance them on substantially the same terms as Arena’s existing facility and/or hedge instruments. In these circumstances, Arena may need to raise further equity, dispose of assets for a lower market value than could otherwise have been realised, or enter into new debt facilities on less favourable terms.

KEY RISKS
(d) Gearing Arena’s gearing level will magnify the effects of any changes in interest rates or changes in property values or performance measures. If the level of gearing increases over the term of Arena’s debt facilities, this may affect the ability of Arena to refinance its debt facilities.
(e) Litigation
Arena may in the ordinary course of business be involved in possible litigation and disputes (for example, tenancy disputes, development disputes, occupational health and safety claims or third party claims). A material or costly dispute or litigation may adversely affect the operational and financial results of Arena.
(f)
Tax and stamp duty
Changes in tax or stamp duty law or changes in the way tax or stamp duty law is expected to be interpreted, particularly if they relate to property investment, in Australia may adversely impact Arena’s financial performance and the value of Arena securities.

FOREIGN SELLING RESTRICTIONS
This Presentation does not constitute an offer of Placement Securities of Arena in any jurisdiction in which it would be unlawful. In particular, this Presentation may not be distributed to any person, and the Placement Securities may not be offered or sold, in any country outside Australia except to the extent permitted below.
Canada (British Columbia, Ontario and Quebec provinces)
This Presentation constitutes an offering of Placement Securities only in the Provinces of British Columbia, Ontario and Quebec (the "Provinces") and to those persons to whom they may be lawfully distributed in the Provinces, and only by persons permitted to sell such Placement Securities. This Presentation is not, and under no circumstances is to be construed as, an advertisement or a public offering of securities in the Provinces. This Presentation may only be distributed in the Provinces to persons that are "accredited investors" within the meaning of NI 45-106 – Prospectus Exemptions, of the Canadian Securities Administrators.
No securities commission or similar authority in the Provinces has reviewed or in any way passed upon this Presentation, the merits of the Placement Securities or the offering of Placement Securities and any representation to the contrary is an offence.
No prospectus has been, or will be, filed in the Provinces with respect to the offering of Placement Securities or the resale of such securities. Any person in the Provinces lawfully participating in the offer will not receive the information, legal rights or protections that would be afforded had a prospectus been filed and receipted by the securities regulator in the applicable Province. Furthermore, any resale of the Placement Securities in the Provinces must be made in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws which may require resales to be made in accordance with exemptions from dealer registration and prospectus requirements. These resale restrictions may in some circumstances apply to resales of the Placement Securities outside Canada and, as a result, Canadian purchasers should seek legal advice prior to any resale of the Placement Securities.
Arena as well as its directors and officers may be located outside Canada and, as a result, it may not be possible for purchasers to effect service of process within Canada upon Arena or its directors or officers. All or a substantial portion of the assets of Arena and such persons may be located outside Canada and, as a result, it may not be possible to satisfy a judgment against Arena or such persons in Canada or to enforce a judgment obtained in Canadian courts against Arena or such persons outside Canada.
Any financial information contained in this Presentation has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards and interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. Unless stated otherwise, all dollar amounts contained in this Presentation are in Australian dollars.
Statutory rights of action for damages and rescission
Securities legislation in certain of the Provinces may provide purchasers with, in addition to any other rights they may have at law, rights of rescission or to damages, or both, when an offering memorandum that is delivered to purchasers contains a misrepresentation. These rights and remedies must be exercised within prescribed time limits and are subject to the defenses contained in applicable securities legislation. Prospective purchasers should refer to the applicable provisions of the securities legislation of their respective Province for the particulars of these rights or consult with a legal adviser.
The following is a summary of the statutory rights of rescission or to damages, or both, available to purchasers in Ontario. In Ontario, every purchaser of the Placement Securities purchased pursuant to this Presentation (other than (a) a "Canadian financial institution" or a "Schedule III bank" (each as defined in NI 45-106), (b) the Business Development Bank of Canada or (c) a subsidiary of any person referred to in (a) or (b) above, if the person owns all the voting securities of the subsidiary, except the voting securities required by law to be owned by the directors of that subsidiary) shall have a statutory right of action for damages and/or rescission against Arena if this Presentation or any amendment thereto contains a misrepresentation. If a purchaser elects to exercise the right of action for rescission, the purchaser will have no right of action for damages against Arena. This right of action for rescission or damages is in addition to and without derogation from any other right the purchaser may have at law. In particular, Section 130.1 of the Securities Act (Ontario) provides that, if this Presentation contains a misrepresentation, a purchaser who purchases the Placement Securities during the period of distribution shall be deemed to have relied on the misrepresentation if it was a misrepresentation at the time of purchase and has a right of action for damages or, alternatively, may elect to exercise a right of rescission against Arena, provided that (a) Arena will not be liable if it proves that the purchaser purchased the Placement Securities with knowledge of the misrepresentation; (b) in an action for damages, Arena is not liable for all or any portion of the damages that Arena proves does not represent the depreciation in value of the Placement Securities as a result of the misrepresentation relied upon; and (c) in no case shall the amount recoverable exceed the price at which the Placement Securities were offered.

FOREIGN SELLING RESTRICTIONS
Section 138 of the Securities Act (Ontario) provides that no action shall be commenced to enforce these rights more than (a) in the case of any action for rescission, 180 days after the date of the transaction that gave rise to the cause of action or (b) in the case of any action, other than an action for rescission, the earlier of (i) 180 days after the purchaser first had knowledge of the fact giving rise to the cause of action or (ii) three years after the date of the transaction that gave rise to the cause of action. These rights are in addition to and not in derogation from any other right the purchaser may have.
Certain Canadian income tax considerations. Prospective purchasers of the Placement Securities should consult their own tax adviser with respect to any taxes payable in connection with the acquisition, holding or disposition of the Placement Securities as any discussion of taxation related matters in this Presentation is not a comprehensive description and there are a number of substantive Canadian tax compliance requirements for investors in the Provinces.
