Item 8.01 Other Events.
On April 11, 2006 TLC Vision Corporation announced the reduction of its ownership in OccuLogix, Inc. to 49%. TLC has long stated its objective to reduce its ownership of OccuLogix to below 50% in order to remove the requirement to consolidate OccuLogix's financial results, thus providing more clarity to TLC shareholders. On April 11, 2006 TLC sold 800,000 shares of OccuLogix stock via the facilities of the Toronto Stock Exchange. TLC maintains ownership of 49%, or approximately 20.7 million outstanding shares of OccuLogix.
