Pursuant to the terms of the Offering, the Corporation has agreed to grant the Underwriters an over-allotment option to purchase up to an additional 7,377,300 Common Shares, exercisable at any time, in whole or in part, up to 30 days from the closing of the Offering. If the over-allotment option is exercised in full, a total of 98,377,300 Common Shares will be sold under the Offering for total gross proceeds of the Offering of approximately Cdn$162.3 million.
This notice shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy securities in the United States or any other jurisdiction, nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful. The Common Shares offered have not been registered under the 1933 Act, or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to a U.S. person absent registration under the 1933 Act or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act and applicable state securities laws.
