We are authorized to issue an unlimited number of common shares without par value, of which 87,245,443 are presently issued and outstanding. We are also authorized to issue an unlimited number of preference shares without par value, of which none are presently issued and outstanding.
Common Shares
The holders of common shares are entitled to vote at all meetings of shareholders except meetings at which only holders of a specified class of shares are entitled to vote. Holders of common shares are entitled to one vote for each common share held. Subject to the rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to any prior ranking shares, the common shares rank equally as to dividends, voting rights, and any distribution of remaining assets on winding up or liquidation. There are no pre-emptive, redemption, or conversion rights attached to the common shares.
Holders of shares of a class or series are entitled to vote separately as a class or to dissent upon any proposal to amend our Articles to effect a change, reclassification or cancellation of the shares of such class or to create a new class or series of shares equal or superior to shares of such class.
Preference Shares
We are authorized to issue preference shares in one or more series at any time or from time to time with such rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions as the directors may determine. Shareholder approval for the issuance of preference shares is not required.
The shares of each series of preference shares, if, as and when issued, will be entitled to a preference over the common shares and over any of our other shares ranking junior to the preference shares with respect to priority in payment of dividends and distribution of assets or return of capital in the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, whether voluntary or involuntary, or any other return of capital or distribution of assets among shareholders for the purpose of winding-up our affairs. The preference shares of each series participate rateably with the preference shares of all other series in respect of all accumulated dividends, whether or not declared and all declared non-cumulative dividends. The preference shares of each series rank on a parity with the preference shares of every other series with respect to priority in payment of dividends and in return of capital in the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding-up. The holders of preference shares will have the right to attend and vote at meetings of shareholders or shall be subject to such restrictions on attendance or voting rights thereat as may be determined by resolution of our board of directors.
