Item 4. | Ownership |
| |
Reference is hereby made to Items 5 – 9 and 11 of pages 2 – 4 of this Schedule, which Items are incorporated by reference herein. |
Large Scale holds 5,089,880 common shares of the Issuer and 118,918 warrants of the Issuer with each warrant entitling Large Scale to acquire 1 common share of the Issuer at CAD 2.82 (subject to adjustment) exercisable on or before April 2, 2016, in total representing approximately 15.20% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Issuer (assuming the issuance of 118,918 common shares upon exercise of the warrants). Great Intelligence holds 1,902,352 common shares of the Issuer, representing approximately 5.57% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Issuer. The securities reported on this Schedule as beneficially owned by ITC are held by Large Scale and Great Intelligence. ITC, which owns all of the voting interest in Large Scale and Great Intelligence, may be deemed pursuant to Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), to beneficially own and to share voting and dispositive power in respect of the 5,208,798 common shares of the Issuer beneficially owned by Large Scale and the 1,902,352 common shares of the Issuer held by Great Intelligence. |

The filing of this statement should not be construed as an admission that ITC is, for the purposes of Sections 13(d) or 13(g) of the Exchange Act, the beneficial owner of the shares covered by this statement. The calculation of percentage beneficial ownership in Item 11 on pages 2 – 4 was derived from the corporate factsheet as made available on the Issuer’s web-site (http://www.burcon.ca/investors/corporate_factsheet.php) as of January 23, 2015 in which the Issuer stated that the number of its issued shares was 34,144,969. The Issuer’s most recent annual report of the filed with the Commission is the Annual Report of the Issuer for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014, which was filed on June 23, 2014. In such annual report, the Issuer reported 31,624,693 outstanding common shares as of March 31, 2014. However, the Reporting Persons believe that this information is no longer accurate, following the completion of the Issuer’s (i) rights offering and related issue of 1,860,276 common shares on April 2, 2014 and (ii) private placement and issue of 660,000 common shares on January 22, 2015. In addition, for purposes of calculating the percentage beneficial ownership by Large Scale and ITC of the Issuer’s common shares only, the issued and outstanding common shares of the Issuer are deemed to include the 118,918 common shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants held by Large Scale. |
