Dear fellow unitholder:
The Arrangement Agreement
The Board of Directors (the "Board") of Subversive Real Estate Acquisition REIT (GP) Inc. (the "GP"), the general partner of Subversive Acquisition LP ("Subversive LP"), is pleased to invite you to attend a special meeting (the "Meeting") of the holders (the "Unitholders") of Restricted Voting Units (the "RVUs") and Proportionate Voting Units (the "PVUs" and together with the RVUs, the "Units") of Subversive LP to:
- (i) in case of all Unitholders, vote on a special resolution (the "Arrangement Resolution") to approve the proposed acquisition (the "Transaction") of Subversive LP by an affiliate of Intercure Ltd. ("Intercure"), an Israeli public corporation whose shares are listed for trading on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange ("TASE") under the symbol "INCR", by way of a plan of arrangement, in consideration for the issuance of a number of Intercure ordinary shares determined pursuant to the terms of an arrangement agreement dated February 9, 2021 among Intercure, the GP, an affiliate of Intercure and certain other parties (the "Arrangement Agreement"); and
- (ii) in case of the holders of RVUs, to vote on a resolution (the "Extension Resolution") to extend the date by which Subversive LP has to consummate a qualifying transaction from April 8, 2021 to up to August 31, 2021 to allow for sufficient time for the Transaction to be consummated (the "Extension").
Subversive LP may reduce the time period of the extension or revoke the Extension Resolution altogether in advance of the Meeting. If it Subversive LP determines to take such action, it will issue a press release setting out the details thereof.
The Meeting will be held virtually at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/SVX2021 at 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on April 6, 2021. At the Meeting, you will be asked to vote on a resolution approving the Arrangement Resolution and the Extension Resolution.
Background to the Transaction and the Extension
As more fully described in Subversive LP's final prospectus for its initial public offering dated December 23, 2019, Subversive LP had until January 8, 2021 to consummate a qualifying transaction, unless Subversive LP has executed a letter of intent, agreement in principle or definitive agreement ("Transaction Document") with respect to a qualifying transaction on or before January 8, 2021, in which case the permitted timeline shall be automatically extended to April 8, 2021 (the "Automatic Extension"). On January 4, 2021, Subversive LP announced that it had executed a definitive agreement with respect to a qualifying transaction, thereby triggering the Automatic Extension.
On February 9, 2021, Subversive LP, Intercure, Canndoc Acquisition Subco Ltd. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Intercure) (the "Purchaser"), the GP and the Subversive Real Estate Sponsor LLC, as representative of the Unitholders, entered into the Arrangement Agreement, pursuant to which, Purchaser will acquire all of the outstanding Units of Subversive LP (that have not otherwise been redeemed) in exchange for ordinary shares of Intercure ("Intercure Shares") by way of a plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement"). On the Effective Time of the Arrangement (the "Closing"), the Intercure Shares will continue to be listed on the TASE and it is a condition to closing that the Intercure Shares will also be listed for trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market (the "NASDAQ") and the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX"). Additional information about the Transaction is provided in the accompanying final non-offering prospectus (the "QT Prospectus") and management information circular (the "Circular").
In order to provide for the additional time required to consummate the Transaction and to satisfy the closing conditions (particularly the requirement that the Intercure Shares be listed on the NASDAQ), the GP is seeking the approval of the Extension Resolution from the RVU holders to authorize the Extension.
Subversive LP may reduce the time period of the extension or revoke the Extension Resolution altogether in advance of the Meeting. If it Subversive LP determines to take such action, it will issue a press release setting out the details thereof.
Board Recommendation
The board of directors of the GP, in consultation with its legal and financial advisors, recommends that Unitholders vote FOR both the Arrangement Resolution and the Extension Resolution.
Unitholder Approval
In order to proceed, (i) the Arrangement Resolution must be approved by at least 662/3% of the votes cast on such resolution by holders of RVUs and holders of PVUs virtually present or represented by proxy at the virtual Meeting, voting together as a single class; and (ii) the Extension Resolution must be approved by at least a simple majority of the votes cast by holders of RVUs virtually present or represented by proxy at the virtual Meeting.
The Transaction is also subject to a number of other conditions, as described in the accompanying Circular, which must be satisfied or waived for the Transaction to proceed. As a result, even if the Transaction and Extension are each approved by Unitholders at the Meeting, there is no assurance that the Transaction will ultimately be completed (or as to the timing of completion). If all of the conditions to completion of the Transaction are satisfied, we currently anticipate that Closing will occur during the second or third quarter of 2021.
Voting Your Units
The accompanying Circular contains a detailed description of the Transaction and the Extension, certain risks associated with the Transaction and other important information. Before deciding how to vote, you should read and carefully consider the information contained in the Circular and consult with your financial, legal, tax or other professional advisors. If the Transaction is approved and completed, you must follow the instructions described in the Circular, as well as any instructions provided by your broker, in order to receive the Intercure Shares to which you are entitled.
Your vote is important, regardless of how many Units you own. The accompanying Circular contains instructions about how you can vote your Units at the Meeting, even if you cannot attend the Meeting. It is important that you comply with the instructions and deadlines described in the accompanying Circular and any instructions provided to you by your broker (if you hold your Units through an investment account).
On behalf of Subversive LP, our management team and the Board, I would like to thank all Unitholders for their continuing support. If you have any questions or need assistance in your consideration of the foregoing matters or with the completion and delivery of your proxy, please contact the GP at [email protected].
Yours truly,
(signed) "Michael Auerbach"
Michael Auerbach Executive Chair of the Board of the GP
SUBVERSIVE ACQUISITION LP
NOTICE OF SPECIAL MEETING OF UNITHOLDERS
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that a special meeting (the "Meeting") of the holders ("Unitholders") of Restricted Voting Units (the "RVUs") and Proportionate Voting Units (the "PVUs" and together with the RVUs, the "Units") of Subversive LP ("Subversive LP") will be held virtually at 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on April 6, 2021. You will be able to attend the special meeting as well as vote and submit your questions during the live webcast of the meeting by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/SVX2021 and entering the 16‐digit control number included on the form of proxy or voting instruction form that accompanied your proxy materials. The Meeting is held for the following purposes:
-
- for all Unitholders, to consider, pursuant to an interim order of the Supreme Court of British Columbia dated March 8, 2021 (as the same may be amended from time to time, the "Interim Order"), and, if thought advisable, to pass, with or without amendment, a special resolution (the "Arrangement Resolution"), the full text of the Arrangement Resolution is set forth in Schedule B to the accompanying management information circular (the "Circular"), to approve a proposed plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement") under Division 5 of Part 9 of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) ("BCBCA") whereby, among other things, all of the issued and outstanding securities of Subversive LP will be acquired by an affiliate of Intercure Ltd. ("Intercure"), by way of a plan of arrangement, in consideration for the issuance of a number of Intercure ordinary shares ( "Intercure Shares") determined pursuant to the terms of an arrangement agreement dated February 9, 2021 among Intercure, Subversive Real Estate Acquisition REIT (GP) Inc., an affiliate of Intercure and certain other parties (the "Arrangement Agreement");
-
- for holders of RVUs, to consider, and if thought advisable, to pass, with or without amendment, a special resolution (the "Extension Resolution"), the full text of the Extension Resolution is set forth in Schedule D to the accompanying Circular, to extend the date by which Subversive LP has to consummate a qualifying transaction from April 8, 2021 to up to August 31, 2021 to allow for sufficient time for the Arrangement to be consummated (the "Extension"); and
-
- to transact such further and other business as may properly come before the Meeting or any adjournment thereof.
Subversive LP may reduce the time period of the extension or revoke the Extension Resolution altogether in advance of the Meeting. If it Subversive LP determines to take such action, it will issue a press release setting out the details thereof.
RECORD DATE
The record date for the determination of Unitholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Meeting, and at any adjournment or postponement thereof, is February 25, 2021 (the "Record Date"). Each registered holder of Units (a "Registered Unitholder") at the close of business on the Record Date is entitled to such notice and to vote at the Meeting as set out in the accompanying Circular.
REDEMPTIONS
Extension Redemption Right
In connection with the Extension Resolution, Subversive LP will provide holders of RVUs with the opportunity to deposit for redemption all or a portion of their RVUs, irrespective of whether such holders voted for or against, or did not vote on, the Extension Resolution, provided that they deposit their RVUs for redemption prior to the second Business Day before the date of the Meeting (the "Extension Redemption Right"). Upon the requisite approval of the Extension Resolution (which requires approval by both the holders of RVUs and the GP) and, subject to applicable law, Subversive LP will be required to redeem such RVUs so deposited for redemption at an amount per unit (the "RVU Extension Redemption Price"), payable in cash, equal to the pro-rata portion of: (A) the escrowed funds available in the Escrow Account at the time of the Meeting, including any interest and other amounts earned thereon, less (B) an amount equal to the total of (i) any applicable taxes payable by Subversive LP on such interest and other amounts earned in the Escrow Account, (ii) any taxes of Subversive LP arising in connection with the redemption of the RVUs, and (iii) the actual and expected expenses directly related to the redemption, each as reasonably determined by Subversive LP.
For informational purposes, as of the date hereof, the estimated RVU Extension Redemption Price is approximately US\$10.04 per RVU.
If the Extension Resolution is approved and the Extension is made effective, Subversive LP shall (a) redeem those RVUs that are deposited for redemption, and (b) deliver to each such holder who has deposited units for redemption the RVU Extension Redemption Price per unit, which amount shall reduce Subversive LP's net asset value. This amount is expected to be delivered to the registered holder(s) of the RVUs redeemed, if any, within five (5) Business Days of the date of the Meeting. The remainder of the escrow funds shall remain in the Escrow Account and be available for use by Subversive LP to complete a qualifying acquisition (including the Arrangement) on or before the expiration of the permitted timeline.
The GP may revoke the Extension Resolution without further approval of the holders of RVUs at any time prior to the Extension becoming effective, including prior to the Meeting, in the event that it determines not to proceed with the Extension.
Qualifying Transaction Redemption Rights
In addition to the Extension Redemption Right that has been triggered as a result of the GP seeking the extension, RVU holders also have the right to redeem their RVUs as a result of the Qualifying Transaction (the "QT Redemption Right" and together with the Extension Redemption Right, the "Redemption Rights"). Information in respect of the QT Redemption Right will be provided separately.
Treatment of Rights
Subversive LP has certain rights (the "Rights") issued and outstanding, which entitle the holder thereof to receive 1/8th of a limited partnership unit upon the closing of a qualifying transaction. No Rights will be redeemed and such Rights will be subject to the Arrangement, thereby entitling holders thereof to a number of Intercure Shares as specified in the Arrangement Agreement, irrespective of whether the holder of the Right has exercised their Redemption Right with respect to any RVUs held. Please note that holders of such Rights will only receive the Intercure Shares pursuant to the Arrangement if the Arrangement Resolution is approved, the Extension Resolution is approved and the Arrangement is consummated in accordance with the terms of the Arrangement Agreement.
Generally
Subversive LP cannot predict the amount that will remain in the Escrow Account if the Extension Resolution is approved and the Extension is implemented, and the amount remaining in the Escrow Account may be only a small fraction of the approximately US\$226 million that was in the Escrow Account as of the date hereof. The GP may decide not to proceed if Subversive LP does not have sufficient net tangible assets following approval of the Extension Resolution, after taking into account any redemptions.
If the Extension Resolution is not approved by April 8, 2021, Subversive LP will commence winding-up pursuant to Subversive LP's amended and restated limited partnership agreement. In connection therewith, and subject to applicable laws, each RVU will be redeemed for its pro rata portion of the escrow funds available in Subversive LP's Escrow Account less certain specified costs. Such amounts will be paid within ten (10) Business Days of April 8, 2021.

APPOINTEE INSTRUCTIONS
You are encouraged to appoint yourself or such other person (other than the named proxyholders) online at www.proxyvote.com as this will reduce the risk of any mail disruptions in the current environment and will allow you to share the Appointee Information you have created with any other person you have appointed to represent you at the meeting more easily. If you do not designate the Appointee Information when completing your form of proxy or voting information form or if you do not provide the exact Appointee Identification Number and Appointee Name to any other person (other than the named proxyholders) who has been appointed to access and vote at the meeting on your behalf, that other person will not be able to access the meeting and vote on your behalf.
You MUST provide your Appointee the EXACT NAME and EIGHT CHARACTER APPOINTEE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER to access the Meeting. Appointees can only be validated at the Virtual Shareholder Meeting using the EXACT NAME and EIGHT CHARACTER APPOINTEE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER you enter.
IF YOU DO NOT CREATE AN EIGHT CHARACTER APPOINTEE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER, YOUR APPOINTEE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ACCESS THE VIRTUAL MEETING.
THE VOTING RIGHTS ATTACHED TO THE UNITS REPRESENTED BY A PROXY IN THE ENCLOSED FORM OF PROXY WILL BE VOTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INSTRUCTIONS INDICATED THEREON. IF NO INSTRUCTIONS ARE GIVEN, THE VOTING RIGHTS ATTACHED TO SUCH UNITS WILL BE VOTED FOR THE ARRANGEMENT RESOLUTION AND THE EXTENSION RESOLUTION.
HOW TO REVOKE YOUR VOTE
A Registered Unitholder who has given a proxy may revoke such proxy by: (a) completing and signing a proxy bearing a later date and depositing it with Broadridge in accordance with the instructions set out in the Circular; or (b) depositing an instrument or act in writing expressly revoking such proxy executed or signed by the Registered Unitholder or by the Registered Unitholder's personal representative or agent authorized in writing: (i) at the principal office of Subversive LP at any time up to and including the last Business Day preceding the day of the Meeting (or in the event that the Meeting is adjourned or postponed, no later than 48 hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, before any reconvened Meeting) or (ii) in any other manner permitted by law.
A Beneficial Unitholder who has given voting instructions to a broker, investment dealer, bank, trust company or other intermediary may revoke such voting instructions by following the instructions of such broker, investment dealer, bank, trust company or other intermediary. However, a broker, investment dealer, bank, trust company or other intermediary may be unable to take any action on the revocation if such revocation is not provided sufficiently in advance of the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.
DISSENT RIGHTS
Pursuant to the Interim Order, Registered Unitholders are entitled to dissent in respect of the Arrangement Resolution and, if the Arrangement becomes effective, to be paid the fair value of their Units in accordance with the provisions of the BCBCA, as modified by the Interim Order and the Arrangement. This right is described in detail in the accompanying Circular under the heading "Dissent Rights". Failure to comply strictly with the dissent procedures described in the Circular may result in the loss or unavailability of any right of dissent. Beneficial Unitholders who hold Units registered in the name of a broker, investment dealer, bank, trust company, nominee or other intermediary who wish to dissent should be aware that only Registered Unitholders are entitled to dissent.
Accordingly, a Beneficial Unitholder who desires to exercise rights of dissent must make arrangements for the registered holder of such Units to dissent on the Beneficial Unitholder's behalf.
Given the presence of the Redemption Rights attached to the RVUs, which are substantially simpler than the Dissent Rights procedurally, and given that the GP believes that the two rights would ultimately provide equivalent value, it is NOT recommended that holders of RVUs exercise the Dissent Rights without careful consideration.
WHO TO CONTACT IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS
If you have any questions or need assistance in your consideration of the foregoing matters or with the completion and delivery of your proxy, please contact the GP at [email protected].
The accompanying Circular provides additional information relating to the matters to be dealt with at the Meeting and forms part of this Notice of Special Meeting of Unitholders.
DATED this 9th day of March, 2021.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
Certain statements contained in this Circular constitute "forward-looking information" for the purpose of applicable Canadian securities legislation ("forward-looking statements"). These statements reflect management's expectations with respect to future events, Intercure's financial performance and business prospects. All statements other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. The use of the words "anticipate", "believe", "continue", "could", "estimate", "expect", "intends", "may", "might", "plan", "possible", "potential", "predict", "project", "should", "would", and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not a forward-looking statement. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause actual results or events to differ materially from those anticipated or implied in such forward-looking statements. No assurance can be given that these expectations will prove to be correct and such forward-looking statements included in this Circular should not be unduly relied upon. Unless otherwise indicated, these statements speak only as of the date of this Circular.
In particular, this Circular contains forward-looking statements pertaining to the following, among other things:
- the ability of Subversive LP to complete the Qualifying Transaction and Private Placement, expected timing related thereto, and its potential success (including the listing of the Intercure Shares on the NASDAQ and the TSX);
- the expected benefits and effects of the Qualifying Transaction to, and resulting treatment of, the shareholders of Intercure;
- the anticipated approval of the Plan of Arrangement by the Court;
- the anticipated approval of the Arrangement Resolution and the Extension Resolution by the applicable Unitholders at the Meeting;
- the redemption amount in respect of the RVUs;
- Intercure's financial performance following the Qualifying Transaction;
- the ability to develop an active trading market for the Intercure Shares and whether the market price of the Intercure Shares is volatile;
-
the listing or continued listing of the Intercure Shares on the TSX, the TASE and the NASDAQ;
-
the number of Intercure Shares outstanding following the Qualifying Transaction and the potential forfeiture of certain Intercure Shares acquired by the Founders; and
- the continuing anticipated and potential adverse impacts resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Such forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by the inherent risks, uncertainties and changes in circumstances surrounding future expectations, which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the control of the GP, Subversive LP and Intercure, including that the transactions contemplated herein are completed.
Forward-looking statements are necessarily based on a number of estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by management as of the date of this Circular, are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies. While management believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable and represent management's internal projections, expectations and beliefs at this time, management's estimates, beliefs and assumptions may prove to be incorrect and include the various assumptions set forth herein, including, but not limited to, the anticipated receipt of any required regulatory approvals and consents (including the final approval of the NEO, as well as the listing approval of the TSX, NASDAQ and TASE); the approval by the Israeli Securities Authority; the anticipated receipt of all securityholder approvals (including the approval of the Arrangement Resolution by the Unitholders at the Meeting and the Intercure Shareholder Approval); receipt of the Final Order; the expectation that the Closing takes place; the expectation that no event, change or other circumstance will occur that could give rise to the termination of the Arrangement Agreement; expectations with respect to redemptions; expectations with respect to Intercure's future growth potential, results of operations, future prospects and opportunities; expectations with respect to demographic and industry trends; expectations with respect to legislative or regulatory matters, future levels of indebtedness, or tax laws as currently in effect; expectations with respect to the fluctuating global economic conditions caused by the continuing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the scope and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on Subversive LP and Intercure; and expectations regarding the continuing availability of capital, fluctuations in foreign exchange rates; and current economic conditions.
When relying on forward-looking statements to make decisions, the GP cautions readers not to place undue reliance on these statements, as forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements should not be read as guarantees of future performance or results and will not necessarily be accurate indications of whether or not the times at, or by which, such performance or results will be achieved. A number of factors could cause actual results to differ, possibly materially, from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to the factors discussed under "Risk Factors" of the QT Prospectus.
Although management has attempted to identify important risk factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking information, there may be other risk factors not presently known that management believes are not material that could also cause actual results or future events to differ materially from those expressed in such forward-looking information.
INFORMATION FOR U.S. UNITHOLDERS
Subversive LP is a limited partnership formed under the Limited Partnerships Act (Ontario) and governed by the Laws of the Province of Ontario pursuant to the A&R LP Agreement. The solicitation of proxies and the transactions contemplated in this Circular involve securities of an issuer located in Canada and are being effected in accordance with Canadian Securities Laws. This Circular has been prepared in accordance with disclosure requirements under Canadian Securities Laws. Unitholders should be aware that disclosure requirements under Canadian Securities Laws differ from disclosure requirements under U.S. federal or state securities Laws. In particular, this solicitation of proxies is not subject to the requirements of Section 14(a) of the U.S. Exchange Act, as amended. Accordingly, this Circular has been prepared in accordance with the disclosure requirements in effect in Canada, which differ from the disclosure requirements in the United States.
The enforcement by investors of civil liabilities under U.S. federal securities laws may be affected adversely by the fact that Subversive LP is formed under the Limited Partnerships Act (Ontario) and governed by the Laws of the Province of Ontario pursuant to the A&R LP Agreement. Unitholders may not be able to sue Subversive LP, the GP or the directors or officers of the GP in a foreign court for violations of U.S. federal or state securities Laws.
Unitholders should not assume that Canadian courts: (a) would enforce judgments of U.S. courts obtained in actions against Subversive LP, the GP or the directors or officers of the GP predicated upon the civil liability provisions of U.S. federal securities Laws or the securities or "blue sky" Laws of any state within the United States, or (b) would enforce, in original actions, liabilities against Subversive LP, the GP or the directors or officers of the GP predicated upon the U.S. federal securities Laws or any such state securities or "blue sky" Laws. It may be difficult to compel Subversive LP or the GP to subject themselves to a judgment by a U.S. court and it may not be possible for U.S. Unitholders to effect service of process within the United States on Subversive LP or the GP.
THE TRANSACTIONS DESCRIBED IN THIS CIRCULAR HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE U.S. SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR ANY STATE SECURITIES REGULATORY AUTHORITY, NOR HAS THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR ANY STATE SECURITIES REGULATORY AUTHORITY PASSED ON THE FAIRNESS OR MERITS OF SUCH TRANSACTIONS OR UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS CIRCULAR. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.
Unitholders who are U.S. persons should be aware that the transactions contemplated herein may have tax consequences both in Canada and in the United States. Certain information concerning the Canadian federal income tax consequences of the Arrangement for certain Unitholders who are not residents of Canada is set forth under "Principal Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations – Taxation of Unitholders Not Resident in Canada" in this Circular. Unitholders are urged to consult their own tax advisors to determine the particular tax consequences to them of the Arrangement.

- (ii) in any other manner permitted by Law.
Only Registered Unitholders have the right to revoke a proxy.

A: An Intermediary will vote the Units held by you only if you provide instructions to them on how to vote. Without instructions, your Units will not be voted. Every Intermediary has its own mailing procedures and provides its own return instruction, which you should carefully follow in order to ensure that your Units are voted at the Meeting. For more information, see "Solicitation of Proxies and Voting at the Meeting – Beneficial Unitholders".
Q: Are Unitholders entitled to dissent rights?
A: Yes.

The provisions of the BCBCA dealing with the right of dissent are technical and complex. Any Dissenting Holder should seek independent legal advice, as failure to comply strictly with the provisions of Sections 237 – 247 of the BCBCA may result in the loss of all rights of dissent. Only Registered Unitholders entitled to vote at the Meeting are entitled to exercise rights of dissent. A Beneficial Unitholder that wishes to exercise its rights of dissent should immediately contact the Intermediary with whom the Beneficial Unitholder deals in respect of its Units and instruct the Intermediary to exercise the rights of dissent in respect of the Beneficial Unitholder's Units. For more information, see "Dissent Rights".

Unitholder Approval of the Arrangement
The Arrangement Resolution must be approved by at least 662/3% of the votes cast on such resolution by RVU holders and PVU holders virtually present or represented by proxy at the virtual Meeting, voting together as a single class. See "The Arrangement – Required Unitholder Approval".
Court Approval of the Arrangement
The Arrangement requires approval by the Court. Prior to mailing this Circular, Subversive LP obtained the Interim Order, which provides for the calling and holding of the Meeting, for the granting of the Dissent Rights and other procedural matters. A copy of the Interim Order is attached as Schedule F to this Circular. Subject to the approval of the Arrangement Resolution by Unitholders at the Meeting, the hearing in respect of the Final Order is currently expected to take place on April 7, 2021, or such later date as Subversive LP may decide, in the manner directed by the Court.
At the hearing, the Court will consider, among other things, the fairness and reasonableness of the Arrangement. The Court may approve the Arrangement in any manner the Court may direct, subject to compliance with any terms and conditions as the Court deems fit. See "The Arrangement – Legal and Regulatory Matters".
Surrender of Certificates and Payment of Consideration to Unitholders
If the Arrangement Resolution is passed and the Arrangement is implemented, in order to receive the Consideration for Units, Registered Unitholders must complete and sign the Letter of Transmittal to be delivered to such holders and deliver such Letter of Transmittal together with the certificate(s) (if applicable) representing the Units and the other documents required by the instructions set out therein to the Depositary in accordance with the instructions contained in the Letter of Transmittal. See "Procedures for the Surrender of Certificates and Payment of Consideration – Surrender of Certificates and Payment of Consideration to Unitholders – Letter of Transmittal".
Registered Unitholders who deposit a validly completed and duly signed Letter of Transmittal, together with accompanying certificate(s) representing their Units and any such additional documents and instruments as the Depositary may reasonably require, will receive, in exchange therefor, the aggregate Consideration to which they are entitled under the Arrangement, less any amounts withheld pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement, with such surrendered certificate(s) being cancelled.
QT Prospectus
Subversive LP filed the QT Prospectus which contains detailed disclosure on the Arrangement and on each of Intercure and Subversive LP following Closing, including the risk factors relating to the Arrangement and to Intercure's business following Closing. In evaluating the proposals set forth in this Circular, you should carefully read this Circular and the QT Prospectus, and especially consider the factors discussed in the section entitled "Risk Factors" in the QT Prospectus.
Dissent Rights
There is no mandatory statutory right of dissent and appraisal in respect of plans of arrangement under the BCBCA. However, as contemplated in the Plan of Arrangement and the Interim Order, the Parties have granted to Registered Unitholders who object to the Arrangement the Dissent Rights, which are set out in their entirety in Sections 237 to 247 of the BCBCA, as may be modified by the Interim Order and the Plan of Arrangement, copies of which are attached as Schedule F and Schedule C, respectively, to this Circular, and as may be modified by the Final Order. A Unitholder who wishes to exercise his, her or its Dissent Rights must strictly comply with the requirements of the Dissent Rights and failure to do so may result in the loss of such Unitholder's Dissent Rights. Accordingly, each Unitholder who might desire to exercise Dissent Rights should carefully consider and comply with the Dissent Rights and consult his, her or its legal advisor. See "Dissent Rights".
The Timeline Extension
Background to the Transaction and the Extension
As more fully described in Subversive LP's final prospectus for its initial public offering dated December 23, 2019, Subversive LP had until January 8, 2021 to consummate a qualifying transaction, unless Subversive LP executed a Transaction Document with respect to a qualifying transaction, thereby triggering the Automatic Extension. On January 4, 2021, Subversive LP announced that it had executed a definitive agreement with respect to a qualifying transaction, thereby triggering the Automatic Extension.
On February 9, 2021, Subversive LP, Intercure, the Purchaser, the GP and the Subversive Real Estate Sponsor LLC, as representative of the Unitholders, entered into the Arrangement Agreement, pursuant to which, Purchaser will acquire all of the outstanding Units of Subversive LP (that have not otherwise been redeemed) in exchange for Intercure Shares by way of a plan of arrangement. On Closing, the Intercure Shares will continue to be listed on the TASE and it is a condition to closing that the Intercure Shares will also be listed for trading on the NASDAQ and the TSX. Additional information about the Transaction is provided in the accompanying QT Prospectus and Circular.
In order to provide for the additional time required to consummate the Transaction and to satisfy the closing conditions (particularly the requirement that the Intercure Shares be listed on the NASDAQ), the GP is seeking the approval of the Extension Resolution from the RVU holders to authorize the Extension.
Subversive LP may reduce the time period of the extension or revoke the Extension Resolution altogether in advance of the Meeting. If it Subversive LP determines to take such action, it will issue a press release setting out the details thereof.
Recommendation of the Board
The Board, after careful consideration and having received advice from its legal and financial advisors unanimously recommends that holders of RVUs vote FOR the Extension Resolution at the Meeting.
Reasons for the Recommendation
In making its voting recommendation to Unitholders, the Board carefully considered the Arrangement and received the benefit of advice from its legal and financial advisors. In the course of its evaluation of the Extension, the Board identified a number of factors in respect of their recommendations to vote FOR the Extension Resolution, including:
- (a) the status of the Arrangement;
-
(b) the fact that without the Extension, Subversive LP will be unable to consummate the Arrangement irrespective of the result of the Arrangement Resolution;
-
(c) the opportunity of securityholders to participate in the future potential growth of Intercure following the successful consummation of the Arrangement;
- (d) that the Extension Resolution must be passed by a majority of the votes cast only by holders of RVUs that attend the Meeting or that are represented by proxy at the Meeting; and
- (e) that holders of RVUs that are not in favour of the Extension have the Extension Redemption Right to deposit their units for redemption and to receive the RVU Extension Redemption Price.
The Board also considered a number of potential risks and other factors resulting from the Extension, including:
- (a) the risk of the Arrangement not being consummated, including the cost of pursuing other qualifying transactions and ongoing corporate expenses;
- (b) the competition by other special acquisition corporations for qualifying transactions; and
- (c) the impact of various rates of redemptions of RVUs on the Escrow Account and Subversive LP's ability consummate a qualifying transaction.
Unitholder Approval of the Extension
The Extension Resolution must be approved by more than half of the votes cast on such resolution by RVU holders virtually present or represented by proxy at the virtual Meeting. See "The Extension – Required Unitholder Approval".
Redemption Rights
Extension Redemption Right
In connection with the Extension Resolution, Subversive LP will provide holders of RVUs with the opportunity to deposit for redemption all or a portion of their RVUs, irrespective of whether such holders voted for or against, or did not vote on, the Extension Resolution, provided that they deposit their units for redemption prior to the second Business Day before the date of the Meeting. Upon the requisite approval of the Extension Resolution (which requires approval by both the holders of RVUs and the GP) and, subject to applicable law, Subversive LP will be required to redeem such RVUs so deposited for redemption at an amount per unit (the "RVU Extension Redemption Price"), payable in cash, equal to the pro-rata portion of: (A) the escrowed funds available in the Escrow Account at the time of the Meeting, including any interest and other amounts earned thereon, less (B) an amount equal to the total of (i) any applicable taxes payable by Subversive LP on such interest and other amounts earned in the Escrow Account, (ii) any taxes of Subversive LP arising in connection with the redemption of the RVUs, and (iii) actual and expected expenses directly related to the redemption, each as reasonably determined by Subversive LP.
For informational purposes, as of the date hereof, the estimated RVU Extension Redemption Price is approximately US\$10.04 per RVU.
If the Extension Resolution is approved and the Extension is made effective, Subversive LP shall (a) redeem those RVUs that are deposited for redemption, and (b) deliver to each such holder who has deposited units for redemption the RVU Extension Redemption Price per unit, which amount shall reduce Subversive LP's net asset value. The remainder of the escrow funds shall remain in the Escrow Account and be available for use by Subversive LP to complete a qualifying acquisition (including the Arrangement) on or before the expiration of the permitted timeline.
The GP may revoke the Extension Resolution without further approval of the holders of RVUs at any time prior to the Extension becoming effective, including prior to the Meeting, in the event that it determines not to proceed with the Extension.
Qualifying Transaction Redemption Right
In addition to the Extension Redemption Right that has been triggered as a result of the GP seeking the extension, RVU holders also have the right to redeem their RVUs as a result of the Qualifying Transaction. Information in respect of the QT Redemption Right will be provided separately.
Treatment of Rights
Subversive LP has certain Rights issued and outstanding, which entitle the holder thereof to receive 1/8th of a limited partnership unit upon the closing of a qualifying transaction. No Rights will be redeemed and such Rights will be subject to the Arrangement, thereby entitling holders thereof to a number of Intercure Shares as specified in the Arrangement Agreement, irrespective of whether the holder of the Right has exercised their Redemption Rights with respect to any RVUs held. Please note that holders of such Rights will only receive the Intercure Shares pursuant to the Arrangement if the Arrangement Resolution is approved, the Extension Resolution is approved and the Arrangement is consummated in accordance with the terms of the Arrangement Agreement.
Generally
Subversive LP cannot predict the amount that will remain in the Escrow Account if the Extension Resolution is approved and the Extension is implemented, and the amount remaining in the Escrow Account may be only a small fraction of the approximately US\$226 million that was in the Escrow Account as of the date hereof. The GP may decide not to proceed if Subversive LP does not have sufficient net tangible assets following approval of the Extension Resolution, after taking into account any redemptions.
If the Extension Resolution is not approved by April 8, 2021, Subversive LP will commence automatically windingup. In connection therewith, and subject to applicable laws, each RVU will be redeemed for its pro rata portion of the escrow funds available in Subversive LP's Escrow Account less certain specified costs. Such amounts will be paid within ten (10) Business Days of April 8, 2021.
Risk Factors
Unitholders should consider a number of risk factors relating to the Arrangement and Subversive LP in evaluating whether to approve the Arrangement Resolution and the Extension Resolution. These risk factors are discussed herein and/or in certain sections of documents publicly filed, which sections are incorporated herein by reference. See "Risk Factors" in the QT Prospectus.
Income Tax Considerations
Unitholders should consult their own tax advisors about the applicable Canadian federal, U.S. federal, provincial, state and local tax, and other foreign tax, consequences to them of the Arrangement. See "Principal Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations".
Interest of Certain Persons in Matters to be Acted Upon
The Founders, certain of which are directors and/or officers of the GP, are not entitled to redeem their Proportionate Voting Units in connection with the Qualifying Transaction or entitled to access the Escrow Account in respect thereof upon Subversive LP's wind-up. As a result, the Founders may have interests in the Arrangement that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of Unitholders generally.
The Board was aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in evaluating and negotiating the Arrangement Agreement, and in recommending to Unitholders that they vote FOR the Arrangement Resolution. See "The Arrangement – Interests of Certain Persons in the Arrangement".
Depositary
Olympia has been engaged to act as Depositary for the receipt of certificates in respect of Units and related Letters of Transmittal.
SOLICITATION OF PROXIES AND VOTING AT THE MEETING
Solicitation of Proxies
This Circular is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by and on behalf of the management of the GP for use at the Meeting to be held virtually at 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on April 6, 2021, or at any adjournments thereof, for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Special Meeting.
No person has been authorized to give any information or to make any representation other than as contained in this Circular in connection with the solicitation of proxies. If given or made, such information or representations must not be relied upon as having been authorized by Subversive LP. The delivery of this Circular shall not create, under any circumstances, any implication that there has been no change in the information set forth herein since the date of this Circular. This Circular does not constitute the solicitation of a proxy by anyone in any jurisdiction in which such solicitation is not authorized, or in which the person making such solicitation is not qualified to do so, or to anyone to whom it is unlawful to make such an offer of solicitation.
It is expected that the solicitation of proxies will be made primarily by mail, but proxies may also be solicited personally or by telephone, fax or other electronic means by the Directors, employees or agents of Subversive LP. All costs of solicitation of proxies by or on behalf of the management of the GP will be borne by Subversive LP.
Appointment of Proxies
The persons named in the accompanying Form of Proxy are Directors or officers of the GP. A Registered Unitholder desiring to appoint some other person, who need not be a Unitholder, to represent him or her at the Meeting may do so by striking out the printed names and inserting the name of such other person and, if desired, an alternate to such person, in the blank space provided in the Form of Proxy. Such Registered Unitholder should notify the nominee of the appointment, obtain the nominee's consent to act as proxy and should provide voting instructions to the nominee.
A Form of Proxy must be in writing and signed by the Registered Unitholder or by the Registered Unitholder's attorney duly authorized in writing or, if the Registered Unitholder is a body corporate or association, under its seal or by an officer or attorney thereof duly authorized indicating the capacity under which such officer or attorney is signing. If an attorney executes the Form of Proxy, evidence of the attorney's authority must accompany the Form of Proxy. A proxy will not be valid unless the completed Form of Proxy is received by Broadridge at Data Processing Centre, PO Box 3700, STN. Industrial Park, Markham, ON L3R 9Z9 using the reply envelope included with your proxy materials and, in accordance with the instructions included on the form of proxy, prior to 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on April 1, 2021, or no later than 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) before any reconvened meeting if the Meeting is adjourned or postponed. Alternatively, Registered Unitholders can call the toll-free telephone number of Broadridge or access Broadridge's dedicated voting website (each as noted on the accompanying Form of Proxy) in order to vote the Units held by them. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Chair of the Meeting has the discretion to accept proxies received after such deadline. The time limit for the deposit of proxies may also be waived or extended by the Chair of the Meeting at his discretion, without notice.
Beneficial Unitholders who hold their Units of Subversive LP through an Intermediary are not entitled, as such, to vote at the Meeting through a proxy. Regulatory policy requires intermediaries to seek voting instructions from Beneficial Unitholders in advance of the Meeting. Beneficial Unitholders should carefully follow the instructions of their Intermediary, including those on how and when voting instructions are to be provided, in order to have their Units voted at the Meeting. See "Beneficial Unitholders" below.
Revocation of Proxies
A Registered Unitholder who has given a proxy may revoke such proxy by: (a) completing and signing a proxy bearing a later date and depositing it with Broadridge in accordance with the instructions set out herein; or (b) depositing an instrument or act in writing expressly revoking such proxy executed or signed by the Registered Unitholder or by the Registered Unitholder's personal representative or agent authorized in writing: (i) at the principal office of Subversive LP at any time up to and including the last Business Day preceding the day of the Meeting (or in the event that the Meeting is adjourned or postponed, no later than 48 hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, before any reconvened Meeting), or (ii) in any other manner permitted by law. The revocation of a proxy does not affect any matter on which a vote has been taken prior to the revocation.
A Beneficial Unitholder who has given voting instructions to an Intermediary may revoke such voting instructions by following the instructions of such Intermediary. However, an Intermediary may be unable to take any action on the revocation if such revocation is not provided sufficiently in advance of the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.
Voting of Proxies
The persons named in the accompanying Form of Proxy will vote or withhold from voting the Units in respect of which they are appointed proxy on any poll (ballot) that may be called for in accordance with the instructions of the Unitholder as indicated on the Form of Proxy and, if the Unitholder specifies a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, the Units will be voted accordingly. Where no choice is specified in the Form of Proxy, such Units will be voted "FOR" the matters described therein and in this Circular.
The accompanying Form of Proxy confers discretionary authority upon the person appointed proxy thereunder to vote with respect to amendments or variations of matters identified in the Notice of Special Meeting and with respect to other matters that may properly come before the Meeting. At the time of the printing of this Circular, the Directors know of no such amendment, variation or other matter, which may be presented to the Meeting. In the event that amendments or variations to matters identified in the Notice of Special Meeting are properly brought before the Meeting or any other business is properly brought before the Meeting, it is the intention of the persons named in the accompanying Form of Proxy to vote in accordance with their best judgment on such matters or business.
Beneficial Unitholders
Only Registered Unitholders, or the persons they appoint as their proxies, are permitted to vote at the Meeting. These Meeting materials are being sent to both Registered Unitholders and Beneficial Unitholders. You are a Beneficial Unitholder if you hold your Units through an Intermediary. If you are a Beneficial Unitholder and Subversive LP or its agent has sent these materials directly to you, your name and address and information about your holdings of securities have been obtained in accordance with applicable securities regulatory requirements from the Intermediary holding on your behalf.
There are two kinds of Beneficial Unitholders – those who object to their names being made known to the issuers of securities which they own (called "OBOs" for objecting beneficial owners), and those who do not object (called "NOBOs" for non-objecting beneficial owners). Subject to limited exceptions that may exist from time to time, all issued and outstanding RVUs are in a book-based system administered by CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. ("CDS"). Consequently, all RVUs are, subject to limited exceptions that may exist from time to time, registered under the name of CDS & Co. (the registration name for CDS). CDS also acts as nominee for brokerage firms through which Beneficial Unitholders hold their Units. Units held by CDS can only be voted (for or against resolutions) upon the instructions of the Beneficial Unitholder.
Applicable regulatory policy requires Intermediaries to whom Meeting materials have been sent to seek voting instructions from Beneficial Unitholders in advance of Unitholders' meetings. Every Intermediary has its own mailing procedures and provides is own return instructions, which should be carefully followed by Beneficial Unitholders in order to ensure that their Units are voted at the Meeting. Often, the Form of Proxy supplied to a Beneficial Unitholder by its broker is identical to that provided to Registered Unitholders. However, its purpose is limited to instructing the Registered Unitholder how to vote on behalf of the Beneficial Unitholder. The majority of brokers now delegate responsibility for obtaining instructions from clients to Broadridge. Broadridge typically prepares a special voting instruction form, mails those forms to the Beneficial Unitholders and asks for appropriate instructions respecting the voting of Units to be represented at the Meeting. Beneficial Unitholders are requested to complete and return the voting instruction form to Broadridge by mail or facsimile. Alternatively, Beneficial Unitholders can call a toll-free telephone number or access Broadridge's dedicated voting website (each as noted on the voting instruction form) to deliver their voting instructions and vote the Units held by them. Additionally, Subversive LP may utilize the Broadridge QuickVoteTM service to assist Beneficial Unitholders with voting their Units.
Broadridge then tabulates the results of all voting instructions received and provides appropriate instructions respecting the voting of Units to be represented at the Meeting. A Beneficial Unitholder receiving a voting instruction form cannot use that voting instruction form to vote Units directly at the Meeting. The voting instruction form must be returned as directed by Broadridge well in advance of the Meeting in order to have the Units voted. Beneficial Unitholders who receive forms of proxies or voting materials from organizations other than Broadridge should complete and return such forms of proxies or voting materials in accordance with the instructions on such materials in order to properly vote their Units at the Meeting.
Beneficial Unitholders cannot be recognized at the Meeting for purposes of voting their Units virtually or by way of depositing a Form of Proxy. If you are a Beneficial Unitholder and wish to vote at the virtual Meeting, please see the voting instructions you received or contact your Intermediary well in advance of the Meeting to determine how you can do so.
Beneficial Unitholders should carefully follow the voting instructions they receive, including those on how and when voting instructions are to be provided, in order to have their Units voted at the Meeting.
Quorum
A quorum for any meeting of Unitholders shall be individuals present not being less than two in number and being Unitholders or representing by proxy Unitholders who hold in aggregate not less in aggregate than twenty five percent (25%) of the total number of outstanding Units.

As of the date hereof, our Sponsors do not own any RVUs.
To the knowledge of the GP, as at the date of this Circular, except as noted above, no person beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, or exercises control or direction over, securities of Subversive LP carrying more than 10% of the voting rights attached to any class of voting securities of Subversive LP.
THE ARRANGEMENT
Background to the Arrangement
Subversive Acquisition LP is a limited partnership established under the LPA for the purpose of effecting, directly or indirectly, an acquisition of one or more businesses or assets, by way of a merger, amalgamation, arrangement, equity exchange, asset acquisition, equity purchase, reorganization, or any other similar business combination involving Subversive LP that will qualify as its qualifying transaction. Subversive LP is a SPAC for the purposes of the rules of the NEO and the TSX.
On January 8, 2020, Subversive LP closed its initial public offering (the "Offering") of 20,000,000 Class A Restricted Voting units (the "Class A Restricted Voting Units") at U.S.\$10.00 per Class A Restricted Voting Unit, for gross proceeds of U.S.\$200,000,000. Each Class A Restricted Voting Unit consists of one RVU and one Right.
Each RVU, unless previously redeemed, will be automatically renamed "Limited Partnership Units" following the closing of a Qualifying Transaction. Each Right represents the entitlement to automatically receive, for no additional consideration, one-eighth (1/8) of one RVU (which at such time will represent one-eighth (1/8) of a Limited Partnership Unit, subject to adjustment under the terms of the Qualifying Transaction). Subversive LP's Class A Restricted Voting Units commenced trading on the NEO Exchange under the symbol SVX.UN on January 8, 2020. The Class A Restricted Voting Units separated into RVUs and Rights on February 18, 2020, and trade under the symbols "SVX.U" and "SVX.RT.U", respectively.
In connection with the Offering, Subversive LP granted Canaccord Genuity Corp. and Echelon Wealth Partners Inc. (the "Underwriters"), a 30-day non-transferable option to purchase up to an additional 3,000,000 Class A Restricted Voting Units, at a price of U.S.\$10.00 per Class A Restricted Voting Unit, to cover over-allotments, if any, and for market stabilization purposes. The Underwriters partially exercised the over-allotment option to acquire 2,500,000 additional Class A Restricted Voting Units and the over-allotment closed on January 23, 2020. Due to the partial exercise of the over-allotment option, an aggregate of 1,259 PVUs were relinquished without compensation by CG Investments Inc. IV, Subversive Real Estate Sponsor LLC (the "Subversive Sponsor") and Inception Altanova Sponsor, LLC (collectively, the "Sponsors") on January 23, 2020. As a result, following the exercise of the overallotment option and relinquishment of the 1,259 Proportionate Voting Units, our Sponsors, Michael Auerbach, Leland Hensch, Richard Acosta, Omar Mangalji, Scott Baker, Octavio Boccalandro, Craig Hatkoff, Anne Sullivan, Eric Clarke, Michael Miller, Dylan Marcoot and Dylan Hart (collectively, the "Founders") own an aggregate of 57,561 Proportionate Voting Units (excluding Proportionate Voting Units underlying the Class B Units (as defined herein)).
Concurrent with the closing of the Offering, the Sponsors purchased an aggregate of 512,000 class B units ("Class B Units") at an offering price of U.S.\$10.00 per Class B Unit, for gross proceeds of U.S.\$5,120,000. Each Class B Unit consists of 1/100 of a Proportionate Voting Unit and one Right. In connection with the partial exercise of the overallotment, the Sponsors purchased an aggregate of 12,500 additional Class B Units, for additional gross proceeds of U.S.\$125,000.
The proceeds of U.S.\$225,000,000 from the Offering were placed in an escrow account (the "Escrow Account") with Olympia Trust Company ("Olympia"), pursuant to an escrow agreement between Subversive LP and Olympia (the "Escrow Agreement") and will be released upon consummation of the Qualifying Transaction in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement.
On October 7, 2020 Subversive LP announced that it had entered into binding agreements as part of a Qualifying Transaction to acquire real properties in the amount of approximately US\$97.4 million and originate or acquire US\$85.4 million of first lien mortgages (collectively, the "Initial Portfolio Qualifying Transaction"), to become a leading real estate capital provider for prominent cannabis operators that own or are seeking industrial and retail real estate in high growth cannabis markets in the United States.
On November 9, 2020, Subversive LP postponed the Closing of its Initial Portfolio Qualifying Transaction and withdrew the optional redemption event that it had extended to holders of RVUs in connection therewith. RVUs already deposited for redemption were returned to the holders thereof in accordance with the terms of the A&R LP Agreement.
On November 26, 2020, Subversive LP announced that it had determined not to proceed with the Initial Portfolio Qualifying Transaction and that it was exploring an alternative qualifying transaction. Subversive LP also announced that Michael Auerbach and Leland Hensch will become the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, respectively, of the General Partner, effective immediately.
Between November 26, 2020 and January 4, 2021, Subversive LP engaged with multiple potential Qualifying Transaction targets and help multiple board meetings in connection therewith, before ultimately determining to focus on a transaction with Intercure.
On January 4, 2021, Subversive LP announced that it executed a confidential definitive agreement in connection with a potential transaction, which would, if consummated, qualify as Subversive LP's Qualifying Transaction. Accordingly, Subversive LP is permitted until April 8, 2021 (15 months following the closing of its initial public offering) to conclude its Qualifying Transaction.
On January 26, 2021, Subversive LP announced the details of the previously announced entry into a definitive agreement in connection with a potential transaction which would, if consummated, qualify as Subversive LP's Qualifying Transaction. Pursuant to the Qualifying Transaction, Subversive LP will combine with Intercure (dba Canndoc) (TASE: INCR), Israel's leading cannabis company. Canndoc, a wholly owned subsidiary of Intercure, is Israel's largest licensed cannabis producer and one of the first to offer Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) certified and pharmaceutical-grade medical cannabis products in pharmacies across Israel (the "Intercure Qualifying Transaction").
On February 9, 2021, Subversive LP, Intercure, Intercure Sub, the General Partner and the Subversive Sponsor, as representative of the Unitholders, entered into an amended and restated definitive agreement (the "Arrangement Agreement"), pursuant to which Intercure Sub will acquire all of the outstanding Units of Subversive LP (that have not otherwise been redeemed pursuant to the Redemption Right) in exchange for ordinary shares of Intercure ("Intercure Shares") by way of a plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement"). On the effective time of the Arrangement (the "Closing"), the Intercure Shares will continue to be listed on the TASE and it is a condition to closing that the Intercure Shares will also be listed for trading on the Nasdaq and the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX"). The NEO has not yet approved the Qualifying Transaction and neither the Nasdaq nor the TSX approved the listing of any Intercure Shares and there is no assurance that they will. The Arrangement constitutes the LP's Qualifying Transaction. Concurrently, the SPAC also announced a US\$65 million private placement, pursuant to which, in connection with the closing of the Intercure Qualifying Transaction, it will issue 6.5 million units at a price per unit of US\$10.00 (the "Private Placement").
Both the Intercure Qualifying Transaction and Private Placement are subject to a number of closing conditions, including obtaining shareholder approval from Intercure's shareholders and listing approval from the NASDAQ. Any such condition may be waived by the applicable party in connection with closing.
Recommendation of the Board
The Board, after careful consideration and having received advice from its legal and financial advisors concluded that the Arrangement is fair to and in the best interests of the Unitholders and recommends that Unitholders vote FOR the Arrangement Resolution at the Meeting.
Reasons for the Recommendations
In making its voting recommendation to Unitholders, the Board carefully considered the Arrangement and received the benefit of advice from its legal and financial advisors. In the course of its evaluation of the Arrangement, the Board identified a number of factors in respect of their recommendations to vote FOR the Arrangement Resolution, including those set out below.
- (a) management's view and analysis that the Arrangement is in the best interests of Subversive LP in the circumstances;
- (b) the terms of the Arrangement Agreement and related agreements;
- (c) the business and prospects of Intercure in the context of a qualifying acquisition;
-
(d) the due diligence conducted on Intercure;
-
(e) that the holders of RVUs may redeem their units for the RVU Qualifying Acquisition Redemption Price;
- (f) that the Arrangement Resolution must be approved by Unitholders as provided by the Interim Order and securities Laws;
- (g) that the Arrangement must also be approved by the Court, which will consider the fairness and reasonableness of the Arrangement to all Unitholders; and
- (h) that Registered Unitholders have the right to exercise Dissent Rights in connection with the Arrangement, subject to strict compliance with the requirements applicable to the exercise of Dissent Rights. See "Dissent Rights".
The Board also considered a number of potential risks and other factors resulting from the Arrangement, including:
- (i) the risk of the Arrangement not being consummated despite receiving the requirement approval for the Arrangement Resolution; and
- (j) the ongoing risks Intercure is subject to.
In making their recommendations, the Board also considered a number of potential risks and other factors resulting from Intercure's business, the Arrangement and the Arrangement Agreement, including those described under "Risk Factors" in the QT Prospectus.
The foregoing discussion of certain factors considered by the Board is not intended to be exhaustive, but includes the material factors considered by the Board in making its determinations and recommendations with respect to the Arrangement. The Board did not consider it practicable to, and did not, assign specific weights to the factors considered in reaching their determinations and recommendations and individual Directors may have given different weights to different factors. The Board has not reached any specific conclusion with respect to any of the factors or reasons considered, and the above factors are not presented in any order of priority. The foregoing discussion includes forward-looking information and readers are cautioned that actual results may vary. See "Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information".
Arrangement Steps
The following is a description of the specific steps to be implemented as part of the Arrangement. The following description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Plan of Arrangement which is attached as Schedule C to this Circular. Commencing at the Effective Time, each of the following events shall occur and shall be deemed to occur sequentially as set out below without any further authorization, act or formality in each case, unless stated otherwise, starting at the Effective Time:
- (a) The A&R LP Agreement shall be amended to the extent necessary to facilitate the Arrangement, including the Qualifying Transaction, and the implementation of the steps and transactions set out in the Plan of Arrangement or otherwise contemplated in the Arrangement Agreement.
- (b) Any RVU held by a Unitholder who duly exercised his, her or its QT Redemption Right in accordance with the A&R LP Agreement in respect of such unit shall be redeemed and cancelled in consideration for the Qualifying Transaction Redemption Price and such RVU shall cease to be outstanding, and each such Unitholder shall cease to have any rights as a Unitholder in respect of such Unit other than the right to be paid the Qualifying Transaction Redemption Price for the RVU so redeemed in accordance with the A&R LP Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.
-
(c) All RVUs issued and outstanding (for greater certainty, excluding RVUs redeemed pursuant to the previous step) shall be reclassified, as Limited Partnership Units.
-
(d) Holders of Rights will be deemed to have exercised their Rights and shall be entitled to receive, for no additional consideration, a number of Limited Partnership Units that is equal to the quotient of the number of Rights held and eight (8).
- (e) All Proportionate Voting Units issued and outstanding shall be automatically exchanged for Limited Partnership Units, using an exchange ratio of one Proportionate Voting Unit for 100 Limited Partnership Units.
- (f) All Limited Partnership Unit issued and outstanding shall be transferred to the Purchaser in consideration for Intercure Shares issued by Intercure based upon the Exchange Ratio.
- (g) The Purchaser shall issue additional common shares in its capital to Intercure in consideration for the issuance of the Intercure Shares pursuant to the preceding step.
- (h) The Purchaser shall acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of the GP for \$100.
- (i) Subversive LP shall be dissolved.
Required Unitholder Approval
In order for the Arrangement to be effected, Unitholders will be asked to consider and, if deemed advisable, approve the Arrangement Resolution and any other related matters at the Meeting. The Arrangement Resolution must be approved by at least 662/3% of the votes cast on such resolution by RVU holders and PVU holders present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting, voting together as a single class.
The full text of the Arrangement Resolution and Plan of Arrangement are attached to this Circular as Schedule B and Schedule C, respectively.
Treatment of Rights
Under the terms of the Arrangement, holders of Rights will be deemed to have exercised their Rights and shall be entitled to receive, for no additional consideration, a number of Limited Partnership Units that is equal to the quotient of the number of Rights held and eight (8), which units will be exchanged for a number of Intercure Shares based on the Exchange Ratio. No Rights will be redeemed irrespective of whether the holder of the Right has exercised their Redemption Rights with respect to any RVUs held.
Interests of Certain Persons in the Arrangement
The Founders hold an aggregate of 524,500 Class B Units and 57,562 Proportionate Voting Units, representing 100% of the Class B Units and 100% of the Proportionate Voting Units and approximately 20% of the Units (on an asconverted basis). The Founders do not have access to, and cannot benefit from, any proceeds held in the Escrow Account in respect of their Proportionate Voting Units, and as such, do not have any redemption rights with respect to the Proportionate Voting Units. In addition, the Founders are not entitled to access the Escrow Account in respect of their Proportionate Voting Units upon the winding-up of Subversive LP. As a result, the personal and financial interests of the Founders may not align with the interests of other Unitholders.
On the closing of Subversive LP's initial public offering, the Founders (the "Restricted Parties") entered into the forfeiture and transfer restrictions agreement and undertaking (the "Forfeiture and Transfer Restrictions Agreement and Undertaking") with the Underwriters pursuant to which each Restricted Party agreed to certain forfeiture and transfer restrictions in respect of up to an aggregate of 58,820 Proportionate Voting Units (which were acquired for nominal consideration). These restrictions will cease to apply to the Intercure Shares to be received pursuant to the Arrangement, but the substitute restrictions contained in the Arrangement Agreement will apply to them instead (see "Sponsor Lock-Up and Forfeiture Agreement" in the QT Prospectus).
The Board was aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in evaluating and negotiating the Arrangement Agreement, and in recommending to Unitholders that they vote FOR the Arrangement Resolution.
Qualifying Transaction Fair Market Value Threshold
Under the NEO Exchange rules and the TSX Exchange rules, the businesses or assets acquired as part of a qualifying transaction must have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the funds held in the Escrow Account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on interest and other amounts earned on the funds in the Escrow Account). This must be satisfied at the time of the execution of the definitive agreement(s) for the qualifying transaction. As of the date of the execution of the Arrangement Agreement, the balance of the funds in the Escrow Account was approximately US\$215 (excluding approximately US\$10.5 million of deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the amounts earned) and 80% thereof represents approximately US\$172 million. In reaching its conclusion that the Arrangement meets the 80% test, the Board looked at the market capitalization of Intercure which was US\$142 million on the date of the execution of the Arrangement Agreement. As a result, the Board concluded that the fair market value of Intercure was in excess of the 80% requirement.
Legal and Regulatory Matters
Court Approval Process
A Plan of Arrangement under the BCBCA requires Court approval. Prior to mailing this Circular, the GP obtained the Interim Order, which provides for, among other things, the calling and holding of the Meeting, for the granting of the Dissent Rights and certain other procedural matters. The Interim Order is attached as Schedule F to this Circular. The Interim Order does not constitute approval of the Plan of Arrangement or the contents of this Circular by the Court. Subject to the terms of the Plan of Arrangement, and if the Arrangement Resolution is approved by Unitholders, the hearing in respect of the Final Order is scheduled to take place on April 7, 2021 at 10:00 a.m. (Vancouver time) at the courthouse at 800 Smithe Street, Vancouver, British Columbia. Any Unitholder who wishes to appear, or to be represented, and to present evidence or arguments at the hearing for the Final Order must file with the Court and serve upon the solicitors for Subversive LP, a Response to Petition and any additional affidavits or other materials upon which any such Unitholder intends to rely, on or before 4:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) on April 5, 2021, or as provided in the Interim Order. Only those Persons who file a Response to Petition in compliance with the Notice of Hearing of Petition and the Interim Order will be provided with materials filed by Subversive LP in support of the application for the Final Order.
The Court has broad discretion under the BCBCA when making orders with respect to an Arrangement and the Court, in hearing the application for the Final Order, will consider, among other things, the fairness and reasonableness of the Arrangement. The Court may approve the Arrangement, subject to compliance with any terms and conditions that the Court deems fit. In the event that the hearing is postponed, adjourned or rescheduled then, subject to further order of the Court, only those Persons having previously served a Response to Petition in compliance with the Notice of Hearing of Petition and the Interim Order will be given notice of the postponement, adjournment or rescheduled date. A copy of the Notice of Hearing of Petition is attached as Schedule G to this Circular.
Stock Exchange De-Listing and Reporting Issuer Status
The RVUs and Rights are currently listed for trading on the NEO and the TSX under the symbols "SXV.U" and "SXV.RT.U" respective, and listed for quotation on the OTCQX International Marketplace under the symbol "SBVRF". Subversive LP expects that the RVUs and Rights will be de-listed from the NEO promptly after the Effective Time.
Effects on Subversive LP if the Arrangement is not Completed
If the Arrangement Resolution is not approved by Unitholders or if the Arrangement is not completed for any other reason: (i) Unitholders will not receive the Consideration for any of their Units, and (ii) Subversive LP will remain a reporting issuer and the RVUs and Rights will continue to be listed on the TSX and the NEO (and the RVUs will trade on the OTCQX) until Subversive LP is wound-up pursuant to its A&R LP Agreement. For more information and for information on any additional consequences of the Arrangement not being completed, see "Risk Factors".
ARRANGEMENT AGREEMENT
The full text of the Arrangement Agreement is available under Subversive LP's SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com. Unitholders are urged to read the Arrangement Agreement in its entirety, as the rights and obligations of the Parties are governed by the express terms of the Arrangement Agreement and not by this summary or any other information contained in this Circular. A summary of the Arrangement Agreement is contained in the QT Prospectus (see "The Qualifying Transaction").
PROCEDURES FOR THE SURRENDER OF CERTIFICATES AND PAYMENT OF CONSIDERATION
Surrender of Certificates and Payment of Consideration to Unitholders
Depositary Agreement
On March 4, 2021, Subversive LP, the Purchaser and the Depositary entered into the Depositary Agreement. Pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement, following receipt of the Final Order and at or prior to the Closing the Purchaser is required to deposit, or arrange to be deposited, for the benefit of Unitholders, the number of Intercure Shares with the Depositary to satisfy the aggregate Consideration to be paid to Unitholders under the Plan of Arrangement.
Letter of Transmittal
If the Arrangement Resolution is passed and the Arrangement is implemented, in order to receive the Consideration for Units, Registered Unitholders must complete and sign the Letter of Transmittal enclosed with this Circular and deliver such Letter of Transmittal together with the certificate(s) (if applicable) representing the Units and the other documents required by the instructions set out therein to the Depositary in accordance with the instructions contained in the Letter of Transmittal. Registered Unitholders can obtain additional copies of the Letter of Transmittal by contacting the Depositary. Each Letter of Transmittal is also available under Subversive LP's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
The Letter of Transmittal contains procedural information relating to the Arrangement and should be reviewed carefully. The tendering of a Letter of Transmittal will constitute a binding agreement between the Unitholder, Subversive LP and the Purchaser upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Arrangement. In all cases, Consideration for Units deposited will be made only after timely receipt by the Depositary of certificate(s) representing the Units, together with a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal relating to such Units and any other required documents.
All questions as to validity, form, eligibility and acceptance of any Units deposited pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement will be determined by the Purchaser in its sole discretion. Unitholders agree that such determination shall be final and binding. The Purchaser reserves the absolute right to reject any and all deposits which it determines not to be in proper form or which may be unlawful for it to accept under the Laws of any jurisdiction. The Purchaser reserves the absolute right to waive any defect or irregularity in any Letter of Transmittal or in the deposit of any Units and any such waiver or non-waiver will be binding upon the affected Unitholders. The granting of a waiver to one or more Unitholders does not constitute a waiver for any other Unitholders. The Purchaser reserves the right to demand strict compliance with the terms of the Letter of Transmittal. There shall be no duty or obligation on Subversive LP, the Purchaser or the Depositary or any other Person to give notice of any defect or irregularity in any deposit of Units and no liability shall be incurred by any of them for failure to give such notice. However, the Depositary has agreed to make reasonable efforts to contact any affected securityholders in an effort to cause any irregularity to be corrected.
The method of delivery of certificates representing Units and all other required documents is at the option and risk of the Person depositing the same. Subversive LP recommends that such documents be delivered by hand to the Depositary and a receipt obtained or, if mailed, that registered mail with return receipt requested be used and that appropriate insurance be obtained.
Payment of Consideration to Unitholders
Following receipt of the Final Order and prior to the Effective Time, the Purchaser shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Depositary, in escrow, the number of Intercure Shares required pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement and Plan of Arrangement to be provided to Unitholders, as at the Effective Time.
Registered Unitholders who deposit a validly completed and duly signed Letter of Transmittal, together with accompanying certificate(s) representing their Units and any such additional documents and instruments as the Depositary may reasonably require, will receive, in exchange therefor, the aggregate Consideration to which they are entitled under the Arrangement, less any amounts withheld pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement, with such surrendered certificate(s) being cancelled.
After the Effective Time and until surrendered for cancellation, each certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented one or more Units shall be deemed at all times to represent only the right to receive in exchange therefor the Consideration that the holder of such certificate is entitled to receive in accordance to the Plan of Arrangement, less any amounts withheld pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement.
Registered Unitholders who do not forward to the Depositary a duly completed Letter of Transmittal, together with the certificate(s) representing their Units and the other required documents, will not receive the aggregate Consideration to which they are otherwise entitled until deposit thereof is made, provided that if such deposit is not made on or prior to the sixth anniversary of the Effective Date, then the Consideration that such former Registered Unitholder was entitled to receive shall be automatically cancelled without any repayment of capital in respect thereof and the Consideration to which such former Registered Unitholder was entitled, shall be delivered to the Purchaser by the Depositary, and the certificates formerly representing the Units shall cease to represent a right or claim of any kind or nature as of such final proscription date.
In the event any certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Date represented one or more outstanding Units that were transferred pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, the Depositary will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, the Consideration deliverable in accordance with such holder's duly completed and executed Letter of Transmittal. When authorizing such payment in exchange for any lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, the Person to whom such cash is to be delivered shall, as a condition precedent to the delivery of such Consideration give a bond satisfactory to the Purchaser and the Depositary (each acting reasonably) in such sum as the Purchaser may direct (acting reasonably), or otherwise indemnify the Purchaser and Subversive LP in a manner satisfactory to the Purchaser and Subversive LP, acting reasonably, against any claim that may be made against the Purchaser and Subversive LP with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.
The Purchaser, Subversive LP and the Depositary, as applicable, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold, or to direct any Person to deduct and withhold on their behalf, from any amount payable to any Person under the Plan of Arrangement, such amounts as the Purchaser, Subversive LP or the Depositary, as applicable, determines, acting reasonably, are required or permitted to be deducted and withheld with respect to such payment under the Tax Act or any provision of any other Law; provided.
The Depositary will receive reasonable and customary compensation for its services in connection with the Arrangement, will be reimbursed for certain out-of-pocket expenses and will be indemnified by Subversive LP against certain liabilities under applicable securities Laws and expenses in connection therewith.
DISSENT RIGHTS
There is no mandatory statutory right of dissent and appraisal in respect of plans of arrangement under the BCBCA. However, as contemplated in the Plan of Arrangement and the Interim Order, copies of which are attached as Schedule C and Schedule F, respectively, to this Circular, the Parties have granted to Unitholders who object to the Arrangement the Dissent Rights. The Dissent Rights adopt the dissent procedures set forth in Division 2 of Part 8 of the BCBCA, as may be modified by the Plan of Arrangement, the Interim Order and the Final Order. A copy of Division 2 of Part 8 of the BCBCA is attached as Schedule H to this Circular.
The following is a summary of the Dissent Rights. Such summary is not a comprehensive statement of the procedures to be followed by a Unitholder who seeks to exercise such Dissent Rights and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Plan of Arrangement, the Interim Order, and Division 2 of Part 8 of the BCBCA, which are attached as Schedule C, Schedule F and Schedule H, respectively, to this Circular.
The Dissent Rights are technical and complex. Any Unitholders who wish to exercise their Dissent Rights should seek independent legal advice, as their failure to comply strictly with the Dissent Rights may result in the loss or unavailability of their right of dissent.
Pursuant to the Interim Order, each Registered Unitholder may exercise Dissent Rights under Section 238 of the BCBCA and in the manner set forth in Sections 242 to 247 of the BCBCA, all as modified by the Plan of Arrangement as the same may be modified by the Interim Order or the Final Order in respect of the Arrangement, provided that the written objection to the Arrangement Resolution contemplated by Section 242 of the BCBCA must be sent to and received by Subversive LP, at 135 Grand Street, 2nd Floor, New York, New York 10013, with a copy to Subversive LP's counsel, Farris LLP, 25th Floor, 700 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V7Y 1B3, Attention: Teresa Tomchak, not later than 4:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on April 1, 2021 (or the day that is two Business Days immediately preceding the date that any adjourned or postponed Meeting is reconvened or held, as the case may be). Dissenting Holders who:
- (a) are ultimately determined to be entitled to be paid fair value for such Units in respect of which Dissent Rights have been validly exercised will be deemed to have irrevocably transferred and assigned such Units (free and clear of any liens) to the Purchaser and will be entitled to be paid the fair value of such Units by the Purchaser (which fair value, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the BCBCA, will be determined as of the close of business on the day before the Arrangement Resolution was adopted at the Meeting) and will not be entitled to any other payment or consideration, including any payment that would be payable under the Arrangement had such holders not exercised their Dissent Rights in respect of such Units; or
- (b) are ultimately not entitled, for any reason, to be paid by the Purchaser fair value for their Units in respect of which Dissent Rights have been validly exercised, will be deemed to have participated in the Arrangement in respect of those Units on the same basis as a non-dissenting Unitholder.
In no event will the Purchaser, Subversive LP or any other Person be required to recognize a Dissenting Holder as a registered or beneficial owner of Units or any interest therein (other than the rights set forth above) after the completion of the steps set forth above and at such time the names of such Dissenting Holders will be deleted from the central securities register of Subversive LP as at and from the completion of the steps above.
In addition to any other restrictions set forth in the Interim Order, the Unitholders who vote or instruct a proxyholder to vote in favour of the Arrangement Resolution shall not be entitled to exercise Dissent Rights.
Beneficial Unitholders who wish to dissent with respect to their Units should be aware that only Registered Unitholders may exercise Dissent Rights in respect of Units registered in such holder's name. In many cases, Units beneficially owned by a Beneficial Unitholder are registered either: (a) in the name of an Intermediary; or (b) in the name of a clearing agency (such as CDS) of which the Intermediary is a participant. Accordingly, Beneficial Unitholders will not be entitled to exercise their Dissent Rights directly with respect to their Units, unless the Units are re-registered in the Beneficial Unitholder's name and the procedures to exercise Dissent Rights are strictly complied with. A Beneficial Unitholder who wishes to exercise Dissent Rights with respect to their Units should immediately contact the Intermediary with whom such Beneficial Unitholder deals in respect of its Units and either: (i) instruct such Intermediary to exercise the Dissent Rights on such Beneficial Unitholder's behalf (which, if the Units are registered in the name of CDS or other clearing agency, may require that the Units first be re-registered in the name of such Intermediary), or (ii) instruct such Intermediary to re-register such Units in the name of such Beneficial Unitholder, in which case such Beneficial Unitholder would be able to exercise the Dissent Rights directly without the involvement of such Intermediary.
A Dissenting Holder must dissent with respect to all Units in which the holder owns a beneficial interest. A Registered Unitholder who wishes to dissent must deliver written notice of dissent (a "Notice of Dissent") to and be received by Subversive LP, at 135 Grand Street, 2nd Floor, New York, New York 10013, with a copy to Subversive LP's counsel, Farris LLP, 25th Floor, 700 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V7Y 1B3, Attention: Teresa Tomchak, not later than 4:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on April 1, 2021 (or the day that is two Business Days immediately preceding the date that any adjourned or postponed Meeting is reconvened or held, as the case may be). Any failure by a Dissenting Holder to strictly comply with the Dissent Rights may result in the loss of that holder's Dissent Rights. A Beneficial Unitholder who wishes to exercise Dissent Rights must arrange for the Registered Unitholder holding their Units to deliver the Notice of Dissent in strict compliance with the Dissent Rights or for beneficially owned Units to be registered in his, her or its name.
The delivery of a Notice of Dissent does not deprive a Dissenting Holder of the right to vote at the Meeting on the Arrangement Resolution; however, a Dissenting Holder who has delivered a Notice of Dissent and who votes in favour of the Arrangement Resolution will no longer be considered a Dissenting Holder. A Unitholder need not vote its Units against the Arrangement Resolution in order to dissent. A vote against the Arrangement Resolution, whether in person or by proxy, does not constitute a Notice of Dissent.
A Dissenting Holder must prepare a separate Notice of Dissent for himself, herself or itself, if dissenting on his, her or its own behalf, and for each other person who beneficially owns Units registered in the Dissenting Holder's name and on whose behalf the Dissenting Holder is dissenting; and must dissent with respect to all of the Units registered in his, her or its name beneficially owned by the Beneficial Unitholders on whose behalf he, she or it is dissenting.
The Notice of Dissent must set out the name and address of the Dissenting Holder, the number of Units in respect of which the Notice of Dissent is being given (the "Notice Units") and whichever of the following is applicable: (a) if the Notice Units constitute all of the Units of which the Dissenting Holder is both the registered and beneficial owner and the Dissenting Holder holds no other Units as beneficial owner, a statement to that effect; (b) if the Notice Units constitute all of the Units of which the Dissenting Holder is both the registered and beneficial owner but the Dissenting Holder owns additional Units beneficially, a statement to that effect and the names of the Registered Unitholders of such additional Units, the number of such additional Units held by each of those registered owners and a statement that Notices of Dissent are being, or have been, sent with respect to all such additional Units; or (c) if the Dissent Rights are being exercised by a Registered Unitholder on behalf of a Beneficial Unitholder who is not the Dissenting Holder, a statement to that effect and the name and address of the Beneficial Unitholder and a statement that the Registered Unitholder is dissenting with respect to all Units of the Beneficial Unitholder that are registered in such Registered Unitholder's name.
Subversive LP is required, promptly after the later of: (a) the date on which it forms the intention to proceed with the Arrangement, and (b) the date on which the Notice of Dissent was received, to notify each Dissenting Holder of its intention to act on the Arrangement Resolution. If the Arrangement Resolution is approved and if Subversive LP notifies the Dissenting Holders of its intention to act upon the Arrangement Resolution, the Dissenting Holder is then required, within one month after Subversive LP gives such notice, to send to Subversive LP the certificates representing the Notice Units if such Units are certificated, and a written statement that requires Purchaser to purchase all of the Notice Units. If the Dissent Right is being exercised by the Dissenting Holder on behalf of a Beneficial Unitholder who is not the Dissenting Holder, a statement signed by the Beneficial Unitholder is required which sets out whether the Beneficial Unitholder is the beneficial owner of other Units and, if so: (i) the names of the registered owners of such Units, (ii) the number of such Units, and (iii) that dissent is being exercised in respect of all of such Units. Upon delivery of these documents, the Dissenting Holder is deemed to have sold the Units and the Purchaser is deemed to have purchased them. Once the Dissenting Holder has done this, the Dissenting Holder may not vote or exercise any unitholder rights in respect of the Notice Units.
The Dissenting Holder and the Purchaser may agree on the payout value of the Notice Units; otherwise, either party may apply to the Court to determine the payout value of the Notice Units or apply for an order that value be established by arbitration or by reference to the registrar or a referee of the Court. After a determination of the payout value of the Notice Units, the Purchaser must then promptly pay that amount to the Dissenting Holder. Pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement, the Purchaser is required to pay the payout value of the Notice Units.
A Dissenting Holder loses his, her or its Dissent Rights if, before full payment is made for the Notice Units, Subversive LP abandons the Arrangement that has given right to the Dissent Right, a court permanently enjoins the action, or the Dissenting Holder withdraws the Notice of Dissent with Subversive LP's consent. When these events occur, Subversive LP must return the unit certificates, if applicable, to the Dissenting Holder and the Dissenting Holder regains the ability to vote and exercise unitholder rights.
The discussion above is only a summary of the Dissent Rights, which are technical and complex. A Unitholder who intends to exercise Dissent Rights should carefully consider and comply with the provisions of Division 2 of Part 8 of the BCBCA, as may be modified by the Interim Order, the Plan of Arrangement and the Final Order. Persons who are Beneficial Unitholders registered in the name of an Intermediary or in some other name, who wish to dissent should be aware that only the registered owner of such Units is entitled to dissent.
It is suggested that any Unitholder wishing to avail himself, herself or itself of the Dissent Rights seek his, her or its own legal advice as failure to comply strictly with the applicable provisions of the BCBCA, as modified by the Interim Order and the Plan of Arrangement, may prejudice the availability of such Dissent Rights. Dissenting Holders should note that the exercise of Dissent Rights can be a complex, time-consuming and expensive process.
Section 246 of the BCBCA outlines certain events when Dissent Rights will cease to apply where such events occur before payment is made to the Dissenting Holders of the fair value of the Units surrendered (including if the Arrangement Resolution is not approved or is otherwise not proceeded with). In such events, the Dissenting Holder will be entitled to the return of the applicable unit certificate(s), if any, and rights as a Unitholder in respect of the applicable Units will be regained.
Any Unitholder wishing to avail himself or herself of the Dissent Rights that, for any reason, does not properly fulfill the dissent procedures in accordance with the applicable requirements, acts inconsistently with such dissent, or who, for any other reason, is not entitled to be paid the fair value of their Units shall be treated as if the Unitholder had participated in the Arrangement on the same basis as a non-dissenting Unitholder.
Given the presence of the Redemption Rights attached to the RVUs, which are substantially simpler than the Dissent Rights procedurally, and given that the GP believes that the two rights would ultimately provide equivalent value, it is NOT recommended that holders of RVUs exercise the Dissent Rights without careful consideration.
UNITHOLDERS THAT ARE CONSIDERING EXERCISING THEIR DISSENT RIGHTS ARE ENCOURAGED TO CONSIDER WHETHER THE REDEMPTION RIGHTS ACHIEVE A BETTER RESULT FOR THEM. SEE "REDEMPTION RIGHTS".
THE EXTENSION
Background to the Extension
As more fully described in Subversive LP's final prospectus for its initial public offering dated December 23, 2019, Subversive LP had until January 8, 2021 to consummate a qualifying transaction, unless Subversive LP executed a Transaction Document with respect to a qualifying transaction, thereby triggering the Automatic Extension. On January 4, 2021, Subversive LP announced that it had executed a definitive agreement with respect to a qualifying transaction, thereby triggering the Automatic Extension.
On February 9, 2021, Subversive LP, Intercure, the Purchaser, the GP and the Subversive Real Estate Sponsor LLC, as representative of the Unitholders, entered into the Arrangement Agreement, pursuant to which, Purchaser will acquire all of the outstanding Units of Subversive LP (that have not otherwise been redeemed) in exchange for Intercure Shares by way of a plan of arrangement. On Closing, the Intercure Shares will continue to be listed on the TASE and it is a condition to closing that the Intercure Shares will also be listed for trading on the NASDAQ and the TSX. Additional information about the Transaction is provided in the accompanying QT Prospectus and Circular.
In order to provide for the additional time required to consummate the Transaction and to satisfy the closing conditions (particularly the requirement that the Intercure Shares be listed on the NASDAQ), the GP is seeking the approval of the Extension Resolution from the RVU holders to authorize the Extension.
Subversive LP may reduce the time period of the extension or revoke the Extension Resolution altogether in advance of the Meeting. If it Subversive LP determines to take such action, it will issue a press release setting out the details thereof.
In connection with the Meeting, Subversive LP will provide holders of RVUs with the opportunity to deposit for redemption all or a portion of their RVUs, irrespective of whether such holders voted for or against, or did not vote on, the Extension Resolution or the Arrangement Resolution, provided that they deposit their units for redemption prior to the second Business Day before the date of the Meeting. Upon the requisite approval of the Extension Resolution (which requires approval by both the RVU holders and the Board) and, subject to applicable law, Subversive LP will be required to redeem such RVUs so deposited for the RVU Extension Redemption Price. See "Redemption Rights" below.
At the Meeting, RVU holders will be asked to vote IN FAVOUR of the Extension Resolution to approve the Extension.
Only RVU holders of Subversive LP are permitted to vote on the Extension Resolution. The Extension Resolution must be passed by a majority of the votes cast by RVU holders attending or represented by proxy at the Meeting.
Recommendation of the Board
The Board, after careful consideration and having received advice from its legal and financial advisors unanimously recommends that holders of RVUs vote FOR the Extension Resolution at the Meeting.
Reasons for the Recommendation
In making its voting recommendation to Unitholders, the Board carefully considered the Arrangement and received the benefit of advice from its legal and financial advisors. In the course of its evaluation of the Arrangement, the Board identified a number of factors in respect of their recommendations to vote FOR the Arrangement Resolution, including those set out below.
- (a) the status of the Arrangement;
- (b) the fact that without the Extension, Subversive LP will be unable to consummate the Arrangement irrespective of the result of the Arrangement Resolution;
- (c) the opportunity of securityholders to participate in the future potential growth of Intercure following the successful consummation of the Arrangement;
- (d) that the Extension Resolution must be passed by a majority of the votes cast only by holders of RVUs that attend the Meeting or that are represented by proxy at the Meeting; and
- (e) that holders of RVUs that are not in favour of the Extension have the Extension Redemption Right to deposit their units for redemption and to receive RVU Extension Redemption Price.
The Board also considered a number of potential risks and other factors resulting from the Extension, including:
- (f) the risk of the Arrangement not being consummated, including the cost of pursuing other qualifying transactions and ongoing corporate expenses;
- (g) the competition by other special acquisition corporations for qualifying transactions; and
- (h) the impact of various rates of redemptions of RVUs on the Escrow Account and Subversive LP's ability consummate a qualifying transaction.
Required Unitholder Approval
The Extension Resolution must be approved by more than half of the votes cast on such resolution by RVU holders present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting.
Redemption Rights
Extension Redemption Right
In connection with the Extension Resolution, Subversive LP will provide holders of RVUs with the opportunity to deposit for redemption all or a portion of their RVUs, irrespective of whether such holders voted for or against, or did not vote on, the Extension Resolution, provided that they deposit their units for redemption prior to the second Business Day before the date of the Meeting. Upon the requisite approval of the Extension Resolution (which requires approval by both the holders of RVUs and the GP) and, subject to applicable law, Subversive LP will be required to redeem such RVUs so deposited for redemption at an amount per unit (the "RVU Extension Redemption Price"), payable in cash, equal to the pro-rata portion of: (A) the escrowed funds available in the Escrow Account at the time of the Meeting, including any interest and other amounts earned thereon, less (B) an amount equal to the total of (i) any applicable taxes payable by Subversive LP on such interest and other amounts earned in the Escrow Account, (ii) any taxes of Subversive LP arising in connection with the redemption of the RVUs, and (iii) actual and expected expenses directly related to the redemption, each as reasonably determined by Subversive LP.
For informational purposes, as of the date hereof, the estimated RVU Extension Redemption Price is approximately US\$10.04 per RVU.
If the Extension Resolution is approved and the Extension is made effective, Subversive LP shall (a) redeem those RVUs that are deposited for redemption, and (b) deliver to each such holder who has deposited units for redemption the RVU Extension Redemption Price per unit, which amount shall reduce Subversive LP's net asset value. The remainder of the escrow funds shall remain in the Escrow Account and be available for use by Subversive LP to complete a qualifying acquisition (including the Arrangement) on or before the expiration of the permitted timeline.
The GP may revoke the Extension Resolution without further approval of the holders of RVUs at any time prior to the Extension becoming effective, including prior to the Meeting, in the event that they it determines not to proceed with the Extension.
Qualifying Transaction Redemption Right
In addition to the Extension Redemption Right that has been triggered as a result of the GP seeking the extension, RVU holders also have the right to redeem their RVUs as a result of the Qualifying Transaction (the "QT Redemption Right"). Information in respect of the QT Redemption Right will be provided separately.
Treatment of Rights
Subversive LP has certain Rights issued and outstanding, which entitle the holder thereof to receive 1/8th of a limited partnership unit upon the closing of a qualifying transaction. No Rights will be redeemed and such Rights will be subject to the Arrangement, thereby entitling holders thereof to a number of Intercure Shares as specified in the Arrangement Agreement, irrespective of whether the holder of the Right has exercised their Redemption Rights with respect to any RVUs held. Please note that holders of such Rights will only receive the Intercure Shares pursuant to the Arrangement if the Arrangement Resolution is approved, the Extension Resolution is approved and the Arrangement is consummated in accordance with the terms of the Arrangement Agreement.
Generally
Subversive LP cannot predict the amount that will remain in the Escrow Account if the Extension Resolution is approved and the Extension is implemented, and the amount remaining in the Escrow Account may be only a small fraction of the approximately US\$226 million that was in the Escrow Account as of the date hereof. The GP may decide not to proceed if Subversive LP does not have sufficient net tangible assets following approval of the Extension Resolution, after taking into account any redemptions.
If the Extension Resolution is not approved by April 8, 2021, Subversive LP will commence automatically windingup. In connection therewith, and subject to applicable laws, each RVU will be redeemed for its pro rata portion of the escrow funds available in Subversive LP's Escrow Account less certain specified costs. Such amounts will be paid within ten (10) Business Days of April 8, 2021.
Process for Redemption by Non-Registered Holders of RVUs
A non-registered holder of RVUs who desires to exercise their Redemption Rights must do so by causing a participant (a "CDS Participant") in the depository, trading, clearing and settlement systems administered by CDS to deliver to CDS (at its office in the City of Toronto) on behalf of the owner a written notice (the "Redemption Notice") of the owner's intention to redeem RVUs in connection with the Extension. A non-registered holder of RVUs who desires to redeem RVUs should ensure that the CDS Participant is provided with notice of his, her or its intention to exercise his, her or its Redemption Right sufficiently in advance of the notice date described above so as to permit the CDS Participant to deliver notice to CDS and so as to permit CDS to deliver notice to Subversive LP's Transfer Agent in advance of the required time. The form of Redemption Notice will be available from a CDS Participant or Subversive LP's Transfer Agent.
By causing a CDS Participant to deliver to CDS a notice of the owner's intention to redeem RVUs, an owner shall be deemed to have irrevocably surrendered his, her or its RVUs for redemption and appointed such CDS Participant to act as his, her or its exclusive settlement agent with respect to the exercise of the redemption right and the receipt of payment in connection with the settlement of obligations arising from such exercise.
Any Redemption Notice delivered by a CDS Participant regarding an owner's intent to redeem which CDS determines to be incomplete, not in proper form or not duly executed shall for all purposes be void and of no effect and the Redemption Right to which it relates shall be considered for all purposes not to have been exercised. A failure by a CDS Participant to exercise Redemption Rights or to give effect to the settlement thereof in accordance with the owner's instructions will not give rise to any obligations or liability on the part of Subversive LP, to the CDS Participant or to the owner.
If the deadline for depositing RVUs held through an intermediary is not met by a holder of RVUs, such holder's RVUs may not be eligible for redemption.
Automatic Redemption if no Qualifying Transaction Occurs within the Permitted Timeline
In the event that Subversive LP has not consummated a qualifying transaction on or before April 8, 2021 and has not otherwise obtained approval for the Extension, it will be required to redeem as promptly as reasonably possible, on an automatic redemption date specified by the GP (such date to be within 10 days following the last day of the permitted timeline), each of the outstanding RVUs, for an amount per unit, payable in cash, equal to the pro-rata portion of: (A) the escrow funds available in the Escrow Account including any interest and other amounts earned thereon, less (B) an amount equal to the total of (i) any applicable taxes payable by Subversive LP on such interest and other amounts earned in the Escrow Account, (ii) any taxes of Subversive LP (including under Part VI.1 of the Tax Act) arising in connection with the redemption of the RVUs, and (iii) up to a maximum of \$50,000 of interest and other amounts earned from the proceeds in the Escrow Account to pay actual and expected Winding-Up expenses and certain other related costs, each as reasonably determined by the GP. The Underwriters will have no right to the deferred underwriting commission held in the Escrow Account in such circumstances.
Such redemption will completely extinguish the rights of holders of RVUs as securityholders of Subversive LP (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and the Rights will be cancelled.
The Founders will not be entitled to redeem the Founders' Shares in connection with a qualifying transaction or entitled to access the Escrow Account upon a Winding-Up. In addition, the Founders will not be entitled to redeem their Class B Units (including the securities underlying such Class B Units) in connection with a qualifying transaction or entitled to access the Escrow Account upon a Winding-Up.
PRINCIPAL CANADIAN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS
The following is a summary of the principal Canadian federal income tax considerations under the Income Tax Act (Canada) and the regulations thereunder, as amended (the "Tax Act"), as of the date hereof, generally applicable to (i) a holder of RVUs whose RVUs are redeemed by Subversive LP in connection with the transactions described herein, (ii) a holder of RVUs who validly exercises Dissent Rights as described herein, (iii) a holder of RVUs who acquires Intercure Shares pursuant to the Qualifying Transaction, and (iv) a holder of Rights (each, a "Holder"), in each case other than Founders and Sponsors. This summary is applicable only to a Holder who, at all relevant times, for the purposes of the Tax Act, (i) deals at arm's length with Subversive LP, the Sponsors, the GP and Intercure and is not affiliated with any of Subversive LP, the Sponsors, the General Partner or Intercure, (ii) beneficially owns or will beneficially own, as applicable, its RVUs, Rights, Limited Partnership Units and/or Intercure Shares (collectively, the "Securities") and (iii) holds or will hold, as applicable, its Securities as capital property. A Security will generally be considered to be capital property to a Holder unless either (i) the Holder holds the Security in the course of carrying on a business of buying and selling securities or (ii) the Holder has acquired the Security in a transaction or transactions considered to be an adventure or concern in the nature of trade. The Securities will not be "Canadian securities" for purposes of the election under subsection 39(4) of the Tax Act to have all "Canadian securities" owned by certain Resident Holders (as defined below) deemed to be capital property.
This summary does not apply to a Holder: (i) that is a "financial institution" for purposes of the mark-to-market rules in the Tax Act; (ii) that is a "specified financial institution" as defined in the Tax Act; (iii) that reports its "Canadian tax results" within the meaning of the Tax Act in a currency other than Canadian currency; (iv) an interest in which is a "tax shelter investment" for the purposes of the Tax Act; (v) who has entered or will enter into a "dividend rental arrangement", "synthetic disposition arrangement" or "derivative forward agreement" as those terms are defined in the Tax Act with respect to any of the Securities; (vi) that is a partnership; or (vii) in respect of whom Intercure is or will become a "foreign affiliate" for the purposes of the Tax Act. Such Holders should consult their own tax advisors.
This summary is based on the facts set out in this Circular, the current provisions of the Tax Act in force as of the date hereof, counsel's understanding of the current administrative policies and assessing practices of the Canada Revenue Agency (the "CRA") made publicly available prior to the date hereof, all specific proposals to amend the Tax Act publicly announced by or on behalf of the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof (the "Proposed Amendments") and a certificate of the GP, on behalf of Subversive LP, relating to factual matters. No assurances can be given that the Proposed Amendments will be enacted or will be enacted as proposed. Other than the Proposed Amendments, this summary does not take into account or anticipate any changes in law or the administrative policies or assessing practices of the CRA, whether by judicial, legislative, governmental or administrative decision or action, nor does it take into account provincial, territorial or foreign tax legislation or considerations, which may differ significantly from those discussed herein.
This summary is of a general nature only and is not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal or tax advice to any particular holder and no representations with respect to the income tax consequences to any particular holder are made. This summary is not exhaustive of all Canadian federal income tax considerations relating to the Qualifying Transaction. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors concerning the tax consequences to them of the transactions described herein.
Currency Conversion
In general, for purposes of the Tax Act, all amounts relating to the acquisition, holding or disposition of the Securities must be converted into Canadian dollars based on the applicable exchange rate quoted by the Bank of Canada for the relevant day or such other rate of exchange that is acceptable to the Minister of National Revenue (Canada). Certain Holders of Securities may, as a consequence, realize capital gains or capital losses by virtue of changes in the value of the U.S. dollar (or other foreign currencies) relative to the Canadian dollar.
Holders Resident in Canada
This section of the summary applies to a Holder who, at all relevant times, is, or is deemed to be, resident in Canada for the purposes of the Tax Act and any applicable income tax treaty or convention (a "Resident Holder").
Redemption of RVUs
On a redemption of RVUs by Subversive LP pursuant to a Redemption Right, the Resident Holder will be considered to have disposed of such RVUs and will realize a capital gain (or capital loss) in the taxation year of the disposition equal to the amount by which the Resident Holder's proceeds of disposition, net of any reasonable costs of disposition, exceed (or are less than) the adjusted cost base to the Resident Holder of the RVU immediately before the disposition. Such capital gain (or capital loss) will be subject to the treatment described below under "Taxation of Capital Gains and Capital Losses".
Dissent Rights
A Resident Holder who validly exercises Dissent Rights as described herein and who receives from Subversive LP the fair value of its RVUs will be considered to have disposed of such RVUs and will realize a capital gain (or capital loss) in the taxation year of the disposition equal to the amount by which the Resident Holder's proceeds of disposition, net of any reasonable costs of disposition, exceed (or are less than) the adjusted cost base to the Resident Holder of the RVU immediately before the disposition. Such capital gain (or capital loss) will be subject to the treatment described below under "Taxation of Capital Gains and Capital Losses".
Reclassification of RVUs
The reclassification of RVUs as "Limited Partnership Units" will not constitute a disposition of property for purposes of the Tax Act and, accordingly, will not give rise to a capital gain or capital loss.
Deemed Exercise of Rights
The Canadian federal income tax treatment of the deemed exercise of the Rights as part of the Arrangement is uncertain. If the deemed exercise of Rights as part of the Arrangement and the receipt of Limited Partnership Units upon such deemed exercise is treated as the exercise of an option to acquire property or as the acquisition of property in satisfaction of an absolute or contingent obligation of the Limited Partnership to provide the particular property pursuant to a contract or other arrangement one of the main objectives of which was to establish a right, whether absolute or contingent, to the particular property, no gain or loss will be realized by a Resident Holder of a Right upon the exercise of Rights. The Resident Holder's cost of the Limited Partnership Unit acquired thereby will be equal to the adjusted cost base of the Right to the Resident Holder. However, there is no certainty that the CRA will agree with this treatment. If the deemed exercise of the Rights is not so treated, Holders of Rights will be considered to have disposed of such Rights for proceeds of disposition equal to the fair market value of the Limited Partnership Units acquired in consideration for such Rights at such time. Accordingly, a Holder would realize a capital gain (or capital loss) in the taxation year of the disposition equal to the amount by which the Holder's proceeds of disposition, net of any reasonable costs of disposition, exceed (or are less than) the adjusted cost base to the Holder of such Rights immediately before the disposition. In the case of a Resident Holder, any such capital gain (or capital loss) would be subject to the treatment described below under "Holders Resident in Canada – Taxation of Capital Gains and Capital Losses". Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors concerning the tax consequences arising as a result of the deemed exercise of the Rights.
For the purpose of computing the adjusted cost base to a Resident Holder of each Limited Partnership Unit acquired on the exercise of Rights, the cost of the Limited Partnership Unit must be averaged with the adjusted cost base to the Resident Holder of all other Limited Partnership Units (if any) held by the Resident Holder as capital property immediately prior to the exercise of such Rights.
Transfer of Limited Partnership Units for Intercure Shares
Upon the transfer of Limited Partnership Units for Intercure Shares, a Resident Holder will be considered to have disposed of such Limited Partnership Units for proceeds of disposition equal to the fair market value of such Intercure Shares at such time. On such disposition, the Resident Holder will realize a capital gain (or capital loss) in the taxation year of the disposition equal to the amount by which the Resident Holder's proceeds of disposition, net of any reasonable costs of disposition, exceed (or are less than) the adjusted cost base to the Resident Holder of the Limited Partnership Units immediately before the disposition. Such capital gain (or capital loss) will be subject to the treatment described below under "Taxation of Capital Gains and Capital Losses".
A Resident Holder will be considered to have acquired the Intercure Shares on the transfer of its Limited Partnership Units at a cost equal to the fair market value of such Intercure Shares at the time of the transfer. The adjusted cost base of Intercure Shares to a Resident Holder at any time will be determined by averaging the cost of such Intercure Shares with the adjusted cost base of any other Intercure Shares owned by the Resident Holder as capital property at that time.
Dividends on Intercure Shares
Dividends received or deemed to be received on an Intercure Share by a Holder, including amounts deducted for Israeli withholding tax, will be included in computing such Holder's income for the taxation year. Dividends received on an Intercure Share by a Holder who is an individual will not be subject to the gross-up and dividend tax credit rules normally applicable under the Tax Act to taxable dividends received from taxable Canadian corporations. A Holder that is a corporation will not be entitled to deduct the amount of such dividends in computing its taxable income for that taxation year.
To the extent that Israeli withholding tax is payable by a Holder in respect of any dividends received on Intercure Shares, the Holder may be eligible for a foreign tax credit against the Holder's federal income taxes or a deduction in computing such Holder's income under the Tax Act to the extent and under the circumstances described in the Tax Act. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the availability of a foreign tax credit or deduction, having regard to their particular circumstances.
Dispositions of Intercure Shares
Upon a disposition, or a deemed disposition, of an Intercure Share, a Resident Holder will realize a capital gain (or a capital loss) equal to the amount by which the proceeds of disposition of the Intercure Share, net of any reasonable costs of disposition, exceed (or are less than) the adjusted cost base of the Intercure Share to the Resident Holder immediately before the disposition or deemed disposition. Such capital gain (or capital loss) will be subject to the treatment described below under "Taxation of Capital Gains and Capital Losses".
Taxation of Capital Gains and Capital Losses
A Resident Holder will be required to include in computing its income for the taxation year of disposition one-half of the amount of any capital gain (a "taxable capital gain") realized in such taxation year. Subject to and in accordance with the provisions of the Tax Act, a Resident Holder will be required to deduct one-half of the amount of any capital loss realized in a particular taxation year (an "allowable capital loss") against taxable capital gains realized in the taxation year. Allowable capital losses in excess of taxable capital gains for a taxation year may be carried back and deducted in any of the three preceding taxation years or carried forward and deducted in any subsequent taxation year against net taxable capital gains realized in such taxation years, to the extent and under the circumstances specified in the Tax Act.
Refundable Tax
A Resident Holder that is throughout the relevant taxation year a "Canadian-controlled private corporation" (as defined in the Tax Act) may be liable to pay a refundable tax on its "aggregate investment income" (as defined in the Tax Act) for the year, including taxable capital gains and certain dividends.
Alternative Minimum Tax
In general terms, a Resident Holder who is an individual (other than certain trusts) may be liable for alternative minimum tax under the Tax Act, including as a result of realizing a capital gain on the disposition of Securities. Resident Holders that are individuals should consult their own tax advisors in this regard.
Foreign Property Information Reporting
A Resident Holder that is a "specified Canadian entity" (as defined in the Tax Act) for a taxation year or a fiscal period and whose total "cost amount" (as defined in the Tax Act) of "specified foreign property" (as defined in the Tax Act), including the Intercure Shares, at any time in the year or fiscal period exceeds C\$100,000 will be required to file an information return with the CRA for the taxation year or fiscal period disclosing certain prescribed information in respect of such property. Subject to certain exceptions, a taxpayer resident in Canada, other than a corporation or trust exempt from tax under Part I of the Tax Act, will be a "specified Canadian entity", as will certain partnerships. The Intercure Shares will be "specified foreign property" to a Resident Holder. Penalties may apply where a Resident Holder fails to file the required information return in respect of such Resident Holder's "specified foreign property" on a timely basis in accordance with the Tax Act. The reporting rules in the Tax Act relating to "specified foreign property" are complex and this summary does not purport to address all circumstances in which reporting may be required by a Resident Holder. Resident Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the reporting rules contained in the Tax Act.
Offshore Investment Fund Property Rules
Pursuant to the offshore investment fund property rules in the Tax Act (the "OIFP Rules"), if in a particular year a Resident Holder holds or has an interest in Intercure Shares, and the Intercure Shares may reasonably be considered to derive their value, directly or indirectly, primarily from portfolio investments in (i) shares of the capital stock of one or more corporations, (ii) indebtedness or annuities, (iii) interests in one or more corporations, trusts, partnerships, organizations, funds or entities, (iv) commodities, (v) real estate, (vi) Canadian or foreign resource properties, (vii) currency of a country other than Canada, (viii) rights or options to acquire or dispose of any of the foregoing, or (ix) any combination of the foregoing (collectively, "Investment Assets"), and it is reasonable to conclude that one of the main reasons for holding an interest in the Intercure Shares is to reduce or defer the Canadian tax liability that would have applied to the income, profits and gains generated by the portfolio investments if such income, profits and gains had been earned directly by the holder, the Resident Holder will generally be required to include in computing income for the year an amount equal to the amount, if any, by which (i) an imputed return for the taxation year computed on a monthly basis and calculated as the product obtained when the Resident Holder's "designated cost" (within the meaning of the Tax Act) of the Intercure Shares at the end of the month, is multiplied by one-twelfth of the total of (A) the applicable prescribed rate for the period that includes such month, and (B) two percent, exceeds (ii) the Resident Holder's income for the year (other than a capital gain) in respect of the Intercure Shares determined without reference to these rules.
The CRA has taken the position that the term "portfolio investment" should be given a broad interpretation. While it should be unlikely that the value of the Intercure Shares should be regarded as being derived primarily from portfolio investments in Investment Assets, there is a possibility that the CRA may take a different view. Even if the value of the Intercure Shares may reasonably be considered to be derived, directly or indirectly, primarily from portfolio investments in Investment Assets, these rules will apply to a Holder only if it is reasonable to conclude that one of the main reasons for the Holder acquiring, holding or having the Intercure Shares was to derive a benefit from Investment Assets in such a manner that the taxes, if any, on the income, profits and gains from such Investment Assets for any particular year are significantly less than the tax that would have been applicable under Part I of the Tax Act if the income, profits and gains had been earned directly by the Holder.
The OIFP Rules are complex and their application depends, to a large extent, on the reasons for a Resident Holder acquiring or holding the Intercure Shares. Resident Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the application and consequences of the OIFP Rules in their own particular circumstances.
Eligibility for Investment
Based on the current provisions of the Tax Act in force as of the date hereof and the Proposed Amendments, the Intercure Shares will be qualified investments upon the Closing for a trust governed by an RRSP, RRIF, DPSP, RESP, RDSP or TFSA provided that at such time the Intercure Shares are listed on a designated stock exchange for the purposes of the Tax Act (which currently includes the TASE, the TSX and the NASDAQ).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the holder of a TFSA or an RDSP, the annuitant under an RRSP or RRIF, or the subscriber of an RESP will be subject to a penalty tax in respect of Intercure Shares held in the TFSA, RDSP, RRSP, RRIF or RESP if such Intercure Shares are prohibited investments for the TFSA, RDSP, RRSP, RRIF, or RESP. An Intercure Share will generally be a "prohibited investment" for a TFSA, RDSP, RRSP, RRIF, or RESP if the holder of the TFSA or RDSP, the annuitant under the RRSP or RRIF, or the subscriber of the RESP does not deal at arm's length with Intercure for the purposes of the Tax Act, or the holder, annuitant or subscriber has a "significant interest" (as defined in subsection 207.01(4) the Tax Act) in Intercure. Holders of a TFSA or an RDSP, annuitants under an RRSP or RRIF, and subscribers of an RESP should consult their own tax advisors as to whether the Intercure Shares will be a prohibited investment in their particular circumstances.
Holders Not Resident in Canada
This section of the summary is generally applicable to a Holder who, at all relevant times, for purposes of the Tax Act
(i) is not, and is not deemed to be, resident in Canada for the purposes of the Tax Act or any applicable income tax treaty or convention, and (ii) does not and will not use or hold, and is not and will not be deemed to use or hold, any of the Securities in connection with carrying on a business in Canada (a "Non-Resident Holder"). This summary does not apply to a Non-Resident Holder that carries on, or is deemed to carry on, an insurance business in Canada and elsewhere. Such Holders should consult their own tax advisors.
Redemption of RVUs
On a redemption of RVUs by Subversive LP in connection with the Qualifying Transaction, the Non-Resident Holder will be considered to have disposed of such RVUs and will realize a capital gain (or capital loss) in the taxation year of the disposition equal to the amount by which the Non-Resident Holder's proceeds of disposition, net of any reasonable costs of disposition, exceed (or are less than) the adjusted cost base to the Non-Resident Holder of the RVU immediately before the disposition. A Non-Resident Holder will not be subject to tax under the Tax Act in respect of any capital gain and will not be able to deduct the allowable portion of any capital loss realized by the Non-Resident Holder on a Redemption, unless the Non-Resident Holder's RVUs constitute "taxable Canadian property" (as defined in the Tax Act) to the Non-Resident Holder at the time of disposition, and relief from taxation is not available under an applicable income tax treaty or convention. As discussed below under "Taxable Canadian Property", the RVUs are not expected to constitute taxable Canadian property.
Dissent Rights
A Non-Resident Holder who validly exercises Dissent Rights as described herein and who receives from Subversive LP the fair value of its RVUs will be considered to have disposed of such RVUs and will realize a capital gain (or capital loss) in the taxation year of the disposition equal to the amount by which the Non-Resident Holder's proceeds of disposition, net of any reasonable costs of disposition, exceed (or are less than) the adjusted cost base to the Non-Resident Holder of the RVU immediately before the disposition. A Non-Resident Holder will not be subject to tax under the Tax Act in respect of any capital gain and will not be able to deduct the allowable portion of any capital loss realized by the Non-Resident Holder on a Redemption, unless the Non-Resident Holder's RVUs constitute "taxable Canadian property" (as defined in the Tax Act) to the Non-Resident Holder at the time of disposition, and relief from taxation is not available under an applicable income tax treaty or convention. As discussed below under "Taxable Canadian Property", the RVUs are not expected to constitute taxable Canadian property.
Reclassification of RVUs
The tax consequences of the reclassification of RVU as "Limited Partnership Units" to a Non-Resident Holder are the same as those described above under "Holders Resident in Canada – Reclassification of RVUs".
Deemed Exercise of Rights
The tax consequences of the exercise of Rights to a Non-Resident Holder generally are the same as those described above under "Holders Resident in Canada – Deemed Exercise of Rights". If a Non-Resident Holder of Rights is considered to realize a capital gain or loss as a result of the deemed exercise of Rights as part of the Arrangement, such Non-Resident Holder would not be subject to tax under the Tax Act in respect of any such capital gain and would not be able to deduct the allowable portion of any such capital loss realized by such Non-Resident Holder on such disposition unless such Rights constitute "taxable Canadian property" (as defined in the Tax Act) to the Non-Resident Holder at the time of disposition, and relief from taxation is not available under an applicable income tax treaty or convention. As discussed below under "Holders Not Resident in Canada – Taxable Canadian Property", the Rights are not expected to constitute taxable Canadian property.
Transfer of Limited Partnership Units for Intercure Shares
Upon the transfer of Limited Partnership Units for Intercure Shares, a Non-Resident Holder will be considered to have disposed of such Limited Partnership Units for proceeds of disposition equal to the fair market value of such Intercure Shares at such time. A Non-Resident Holder will not be subject to tax under the Tax Act in respect of any capital gain and will not be able to deduct the allowable portion of any capital loss realized by such Non-Resident Holder on such disposition unless such Limited Partnership Units constitute "taxable Canadian property" (as defined in the Tax Act) to the Non-Resident Holder at the time of disposition, and relief from taxation is not available under an applicable income tax treaty or convention. As discussed below under "Taxable Canadian Property", the Limited Partnership Units are not expected to constitute taxable Canadian property.
Taxable Canadian Property
The Rights, the RVUs and the Limited Partnership Units generally will not constitute taxable Canadian property of a Non-Resident Holder, unless (a) at any time during the 60-month period immediately preceding the disposition or deemed disposition of the Security (as applicable) more than 50% of the fair market value of the Security (as applicable) was derived directly or indirectly from one or any combination of (A) real or immovable property situated in Canada, (B) Canadian resource property (as defined in the Tax Act), (C) timber resource property (as defined in the Tax Act), and (D) options in respect of, or interests in, or for civil law rights in, property described in any of (A) through (C) above, whether or not such property exists; or (b) the Security (as applicable) is deemed under the Tax Act to be taxable Canadian property. The GP has confirmed that Subversive LP does not own, and has never owned, any such property, and does not intend to make an investment, take any action or fail to take any action which would cause the Rights, the RVUs or the Limited Partnership Units to constitute taxable Canadian property. Based on this, the Rights, the RVUs and the Limited Partnership Units will not constitute taxable Canadian property.

4.3 Dissent Rights Availability
A Subversive Limited Partner will not be entitled to exercise Dissent Rights with respect to Subversive Limited Partnership Units if such holder votes (or instructs, or is deemed by submission of any incomplete proxy to have instructed, his, her or its proxyholder to vote) in favour of the Subversive Arrangement Resolution.
