A warrantholder may subscribe for the resulting whole number of units or any lesser whole number of units by instructing the participant in CDS participant holding the subscriber's warrants to exercise all or a specified number of such warrants and forwarding the subscription price for each unit subscribed for in accordance with the terms of the offering and the warrant indenture to the CDS participant which holds the subscriber's warrants.
The subscription price is payable in Canadian funds by certified cheque, bank draft or money order drawn to the order of a CDS participant, by direct debit from the subscriber's brokerage account or, by electronic funds transfer or other similar payment mechanism. All payments must be forwarded to the appropriate office of the CDS participant. The entire subscription price for units subscribed for must be paid at the time of subscription and must be received by the warrant agent prior to the expiry date. If mail is used for delivery of subscription funds, for the protection of the subscriber "certified mail return receipt requested" should be used and sufficient time should be allowed to avoid the risk of late delivery. A subscriber subscribing through a CDS participant must deliver its payment and instructions sufficiently in advance of the expiry date to allow the CDS participant to properly exercise the warrants on such subscriber's behalf. Warrantholders are encouraged to contact their broker or other CDS participant as each CDS participant may have an earlier deadline for receipt of instructions and payment.
Subscriptions for units made in connection with the offering through a CDS participant will be irrevocable and subscribers will be unable to withdraw their subscriptions for units once submitted. Warrantholders who wish to exercise their warrants and receive units are reminded that because warrants must be exercised through a CDS participant, a significant amount of time may elapse from the date of exercise and the date the units issuable upon the exercise thereof are issued to the subscriber.
Each warrantholder that subscribes for all of the units to which such holder is entitled pursuant to the basic subscription privilege may, at any time during the exercise period, subscribe for additional units pursuant to the additional subscription privilege, if applicable, at a price equal to the subscription price for each additional unit. Warrantholders must exercise all of their warrants under the basic subscription privilege to be eligible for the additional subscription privilege. To apply for additional units under the additional subscription privilege, a beneficial holder of warrants must forward their request to a CDS participant prior to the expiry date. Payment for additional units, in the same manner as for units, must accompany the request when it is delivered to the CDS participant. Any excess funds will be returned by mail or credited to a subscriber's account with its CDS participant without interest or deduction. Payment in full of the subscription price must be received by the warrant agent prior to the expiry date, failing which the subscribe's entitlement to such units will terminate. Accordingly, the subscriber must deliver payment and instructions sufficiently in advance of the expiry date to allow the CDS participant to properly apply for additional units under the additional subscription privilege, as applicable.
Each holder of warrants that subscribes for units to which such holder is entitled pursuant to the basic subscription privilege may, at any time during the exercise period, subscribe for additional units pursuant to the additional subscription privilege, if applicable, at a price equal to the subscription price for each additional unit. Holders of warrants will not be required to fully exercise all of their warrants under the basic subscription privilege in order to be eligible for the additional subscription privilege. To apply for additional units under the additional subscription privilege, a beneficial holder of warrants must forward their request to a CDS participant. Payment for additional units, in the same manner as for units, must accompany the request when it is delivered to the CDS participant. Any excess funds will be returned by mail or credited to a subscriber's account with its CDS participant, without interest or deduction. Payment in full of the subscription price must be received by the warrant agent prior to 5 p.m. (Toronto time) on the expiry date, failing which the subscriber's entitlement to such units will terminate. Accordingly, the subscriber must deliver payment and instructions sufficiently in advance of the expiry date to allow the CDS participant to properly exercise warrants on such subscriber's behalf and apply for additional units under the additional subscription privilege, as applicable.
The units are not registered under the 1933 Act. The offering is made in Canada and not outside of Canada. The offering is not, and under no circumstances is to be construed as, an offering of any units for sale in the United States or an offering to or for the account or benefit of any U.S. person or a solicitation therein of any offer of units. Accordingly, neither a subscription for units pursuant to the basic subscription privilege nor an application for additional units pursuant to the additional subscription privilege will be accepted from any person, or his agent, who appears to be, or who the fund has reason to believe is, a national or resident of the United States. Each CDS participant for a unitholder resident outside of Canada will, prior to the expiry date, attempt to sell the warrants allotable to such unitholder at the price or prices it determines in its discretion. Any proceeds received by the CDS participant with respect to the sale of warrants, net of brokerage fees and costs incurred and, if applicable, of Canadian tax required to be withheld, will be delivered by mailing cheques (in Canadian funds and without payment of any interest) as soon as practicable to such unitholder whose warrants were sold, at the unitholder's last recorded address. Amounts of less than $1 will not be forwarded.
The warrants will be governed by the terms of a master warrant indenture dated Nov. 6, 2009, between the manager, on behalf of the fund and Computershare Trust Company of Canada, as warrant agent. The warrant indenture provides for appropriate adjustments to the warrants in the event of stock dividends, subdivisions, consolidations and other forms of capital reorganization.
Within 30 days of the proper exercise of a warrant, the fund will pay a fee of 19 cents per warrant to the dealer whose client exercised the warrant.
The Toronto Stock Exchange has been advised the fund has not retained the services of any securities dealer or broker to solicit subscriptions for units and will not pay any fee or commission for soliciting such subscriptions.
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.
