Risk Factors
Investing in the common shares of the Company involves risk. Prospective investors should carefully consider the risks described below, together with all of the other information included in this MD&A before making an investment decision. If any of the following risks actually occurs, the business, financial condition or results of operations of the Company could be harmed. In such an event, the trading price of the common shares could decline, and prospective investors may lose part or all of their investment.
COVID-19
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared coronavirus COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak, which has continued to spread, and any related adverse public health developments, has adversely affected workforces, economies, and financial markets globally. While the pandemic continues to influence global markets, the Company cannot predict the duration or magnitude of its effects on the Company’s business or ability to raise funds.
No Operating History
The Company was incorporated on December 7, 2011, has not commenced commercial operations, and has no assets other than cash. The Company has neither a history of earnings nor has it paid any dividends and it is unlikely to produce earnings or pay dividends in the immediate or foreseeable future. Until Completion of the Qualifying Transaction, the Company is not permitted to carry on any business other than the identification and evaluation of potential Qualifying Transactions. The Company has only limited funds with which to identify and evaluate potential Qualifying Transactions and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to identify a suitable Qualifying Transaction. Even if a proposed Qualifying Transaction is identified, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully complete the transaction.
Trading Suspension or Delisting
Trading in the common shares of the Company may be halted or delisted by the TSX-V for a variety of reasons, including for failure by the Company to submit documents to the TSX-V in the time periods required or otherwise comply with TSX-V policies, or in connection with the announcement by the Company of a material transaction.
TSX-V May Not Approve a Qualifying Transaction
Completion of a Qualifying Transaction is subject to a number of conditions including acceptance by the TSX-V and in the case of a Non-Arm's Length Qualifying Transaction, Majority of the Minority Approval as such terms are defined in Policy 2.4.
Notwithstanding that a transaction may meet the definition of a Qualifying Transaction; the TSX-V may not approve a Qualifying Transaction:
- a) if the Company fails to meet the initial listing requirements prescribed by Policy 2.1 – Initial Listing Requirements of the TSX-V upon Completion of the Qualifying Transaction; or
6
Collingwood Resources Corp. Management’s Discussion and Analysis Years Ended March 31, 2022 and 2021
-
b) if, following Completion of the Qualifying Transaction, the Company will be a finance company, or a mutual fund as defined under applicable securities laws; or
-
c) the consideration proposed to be paid by the Company in connection with the Qualifying Transaction is not acceptable to the TSX-V; or
-
d) for any other reason at the sole discretion of the TSX-V; or
-
e) COVID-19 risk to complete Qualifying Transaction.
Approval by the Majority of the Minority
Where Majority of the Minority Approval is required, unless the shareholder has the right to dissent and be paid fair value in accordance with the applicable corporate or other law, a shareholder who votes against a proposed NonArm’s Length Qualifying Transaction for which Majority of the Minority Approval by shareholders has been given, will have no rights of dissent and no entitlement to payment by the Company of fair value for the common shares.
Dilution
If the Company issues treasury shares to finance acquisition or participation opportunities, control of the Company may change, and subscribers may suffer dilution of their investment.
Directors and Officers
The directors and officers of the Company will not be devoting all of their time to the affairs of the Company but will be devoting such time as required to effectively manage the Company. Some of the directors and officers of the Company are engaged and will continue to be engaged in the search for assets or businesses on their own behalf or on behalf of others such that conflicts may arise from time to time. As a consequence of such conflicts, the Company may be exposed to liability and its ability to achieve its business objectives may be impaired.
Reliance on Management
The Company is relying solely on the past business success of its directors and officers to identify a Qualifying Transaction of merit. The success of the Company is dependent upon the efforts and abilities of its directors and officers. The loss of any of its directors or officers could have a material adverse effect upon the business and prospects of the Company.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and assumptions are continuously evaluated and are based on management’s experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual outcomes can differ from these estimates.
