The class B shares entitle their holders to one vote per share, the right to participate pro rata, share for share, with the class A multiple voting shares in the payment of dividends and the distribution of the company's assets in the event of its liquidation or dissolution. If a takeover bid or exchange bid or issuer bid is filed, seeking acquisition of class A multiple voting shares, the class B shares will, solely for the purposes of allowing the depositing of these shares in response to such offer, become convertible into class A multiple voting shares, subject to certain conditions and restrictions.
The following is a summary of the principasl provisions pertaining to the warrants which are governed by a warrant indenture between the company and General Trust of Canada, acting as agent under the warrants indenture.
Each whole warrant gives its holders the right to purchase, for $3.50, one class B share at any time up to the close of business on December 31 1995. After this date, the warrants will be null and void.
The warrants included in the units offered will be issued in the form of bearer securities and will be governed by the warrant indenture. The company has designated the agent's principal place of business in Montreal as warrant agent, where the warrants may be delivered to be exercised, exchanged or replaced.
The warrants indenture also will provide that the exercise price and the number of class B shares are subject to adjustments in certain events, including:
a). The issuance of class B shares as a dividend other than in the form of a dividend paid in the normal course of business on the class B shares;
b). The subdivision, consolidation or certain reclassifications of class B shares;
c). The issuance to all or almost all of the holders of class B shares of rights, options or warrants allowing them, within no more than 45 days after the closing date of the registers of such offering, to acquire i) class B shares at a price lower than 95% of the quoted market price of class B shares; or ii) securities convertible into class B shares if the conversion price on the date of issuance of these convertible securities is less than 95% of the quoted market price of class B shares; and
d). The distribution to all or almost all of the holders of class B shares i) of shares of any other class; ii) of properties or any other assets of the company; or iii) of debt securities.
No adjustment of the exercise price or of the number of class B shares which may be purchased upon exercise will be required, in particular, i) unless the cumulative effect of this adjustment or these adjustments would result in a change of at least 1% in the exercise price, or the number of class B shares which can be purchased upon exercise is changed by at least one one-hundredth of a share.
The transfer agent and registrar for the class B shares and the warrants is the General Trust of Canada at its head office in Montreal
Canadian Market News
- Expiration Date: The last day the warrants can be exercised. If warrants aren't going to be exercised then they must be sold the day before the expiry date. The longer the time to expiry the more valuable the warrants.
- Leverage: A measure of how much you can increase your exposure to a share if you bought warrants instead of making a direct investment. It is the current share price divided by the current price of the warrant.
- Intrinsic Value: The difference between the exercise price and the actual trading price of the common stock. Once the common has gone over the exercise price, the warrants are "In the Money."
- Volatility: The higher the volatility rating, the higher the price of the warrant. Historical volatility is calculated by using the standard deviation of an underlying stock price over a specific period.
- Time Value: The difference between the current warrant price and its intrinsic value. Interpreted as the consideration paid for the advantage the warrant buyer has over the direct investor.
