Q. | Who is Making this Offer for Mass Common Shares? | |
A. | This offer is being made by Terra Nova and the Merger Subsidiary. Terra Nova, a company existing under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada, is a mineral royalty and natural resources company with a focus on acquiring royalty and other interests in resource properties. The Merger Subsidiary, a company existing under the laws of Barbados, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Terra Nova and was formed for the purposes of making this offer and consummating the Merger. Terra Nova is currently active in the royalty business, primarily through its indirect interest in the Wabush iron ore mine in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. It is currently seeking to expand its business by acquiring additional royalty interests in resource properties and/or through the acquisition of or investment in mining and other natural resource projects. | |
Q. | What Shares are Being Sought? | |
A. | We are seeking to acquire all of the outstanding Mass Common Shares. See “This Offer” on page 54. | |
Q. | Why is Terra Nova Making this Offer? | |
A. | We are making this exchange offer for the purpose of acquiring all of the outstanding Mass Common Shares and ultimately acquiring all of the assets of Mass. This offer is part of a several step transaction which includes the Merger, which is designed to allow Terra Nova to effectively acquire all of the assets of Mass. If we are unable to complete the Merger for any reason, we intend to pursue other means of causing a merger or amalgamation of Mass and the Merger Subsidiary. | |
Q. | What Will You Receive in Exchange for the Mass Common Shares that You Tender in this Offer? | |
A. | In exchange for your Mass Common Shares that are validly tendered and not properly withdrawn prior to the expiration of this offer, you will receive one (1) Terra Nova Common Share for each Mass Common Share tendered. We will not issue fractional Terra Nova Common Shares. Instead, any Mass shareholder entitled to receive a fractional Terra Nova Common Share will receive a cash payment in lieu of the fractional interest. | |
Q. | What Does the Board of Directors of Mass Think of this Offer and the Merger? | |
A. | On September 24, 2010, the board of directors of Mass, after receiving the recommendation of a special committee of its directors, unanimously (other than the Chairman who abstained due to his position as a director and officer of Terra Nova) approved this offer, the Merger and the Agreement and determined that the Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby including this offer and Merger are fair to and in the best interest of the Mass shareholders. The board of directors of Mass also has recommended that Mass shareholders tender their Mass Common Shares in this offer. The board of directors of Mass has received an oral opinion dated September 24, 2010, from Southridge Investment Group LLC, the financial advisor to Mass, referred to as the “Mass Advisor”, to the effect that, as of the date of the opinion, the consideration to be received by the shareholders of Mass in both this offer and the transactions contemplated by the Agreement are fair from a financial point of view to Mass shareholders. A copy of the Mass Advisor’s written opinion dated September 30, 2010 will be provided in the directors’ circular of Mass to be sent to Mass’s shareholders, referred to as the “Mass Recommendation Statement”. | |
Q. | What are the Potential Benefits of this Offer to Mass Shareholders? | |
A. | We believe that this offer is attractive to Mass shareholders for the reasons described in this prospectus. Among other things, since the consideration for the Mass Common Shares tendered consists of Terra Nova Common Shares, shareholders of Mass who tender their Mass Common Shares in this offer and do not validly withdraw such shares will be provided the opportunity to continue to share in the combined company’s future performance through ownership of Terra Nova Common Shares. Additionally, since the Terra Nova Common Shares are listed and traded on the New York Stock Exchange, Mass shareholders will have access to a large, more liquid trading market. | |
Q. | What Are Some of the Other Factors You Should Consider in Deciding Whether to Tender Your Mass Common Shares? | |
A. | In addition to the factors described elsewhere in this prospectus, if you become a Terra Nova shareholder in connection with the successful completion of this offer, your interest in the performance and prospects of Mass will |
ii
Table of Contents
only be indirect and in proportion to your share ownership in Terra Nova. You, therefore, may not realize the same financial benefits of future appreciation in the value of Mass, if any, that you may realize if this offer was not completed and you remained a Mass shareholder. | ||
We describe various factors Mass shareholders should consider in deciding whether to tender their Mass Common Shares under “Risk Factors” on page 25 and “Background and Reasons for this Offer — Mass’s Reasons for Recommending this Offer and the Merger” on page 53. | ||
Q. | How Do You Participate in this Offer? | |
A. | You are urged to read this entire prospectus carefully, and to consider how this offer may affect you. Then, if you wish to tender your Mass Common Shares, you should complete and sign the enclosed letter of transmittal and return it with your share certificate(s) to the exchange agent and depositary at its address set forth on the back cover page of this prospectus, or if you hold your Mass Common Shares in “street name” through a broker, ask your broker to tender your Mass Common Shares, in each case prior to the expiration of this offer. Please read this prospectus carefully for more information about procedures for tendering your Mass Common Shares, the timing of this offer, extensions of this offer period and your rights to withdraw your Mass Common Shares from this offer prior to the expiration date. | |
If your Mass share certificate(s) are not immediately available or if you cannot deliver your Mass share certificate(s) and any other required documents to the exchange agent prior to the expiration of this offer, or you cannot complete the procedure for delivery by book-entry transfer on a timely basis, you may still tender your Mass Common Shares if you comply with the guaranteed delivery procedures described under “This Offer—Procedure for Tendering Shares” on page 55. | ||
Q. | Will You Have to Pay Any Fees or Commissions? | |
A. | If you are the record owner of Mass Common Shares and you tender your Mass Common Shares directly to the exchange agent, you will not have to pay brokerage fees or incur similar expenses. If you own your Mass Common Shares through a broker or other nominee, and your broker tenders the Mass Common Shares on your behalf, your broker may charge you a fee for doing so. You should consult your broker or nominee to determine whether any charges will apply. | |
Q. | Can You Withdraw Shares that You have Tendered? | |
A. | You may withdraw Mass Common Shares that you have tendered at any time on or before November 8, 2010, or, if we extend this offer, before the exchange offer expires, by providing written notice to the exchange agent. Unless we have accepted your Mass Common Shares for exchange on or before November 8, 2010, you may also withdraw Mass Common Shares you have tendered which we have not accepted for exchange at any time after that date. See “This Offer—Withdrawal Rights” on page 57. | |
Q. | Can this Offer be Extended, and Under What Circumstances? | |
A. | Yes. This offer may be extended at our option. We may also be required to extend this offer in order to satisfy certain regulatory requirements. For a detailed description of the circumstances under which this offer may or must be extended, see “This Offer—Extension, Termination and Amendment” on page 55. | |
Q. | How Will You be Notified if this Offer is Extended? | |
A. | If we extend this offer, we will inform the exchange agent of that fact, and will issue a press release giving the new expiration date of this offer no later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next business day after the scheduled expiration of this offer. See “This Offer—Extension, Termination and Amendment” on page 55. | |
Q. | Is this Offer Being Made Pursuant to an Agreement between Mass and Terra Nova? | |
A. | This offer is being made pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, which sets forth, among other things, the terms and conditions upon which Terra Nova agreed to make this offer and consummate the Merger and Mass agreed to recommend to its shareholders that they accept this offer. |
iii
Table of Contents
Q. | What Are the Most Significant Conditions to this Offer? | |
A. | In accordance with the terms and conditions of the Agreement, this offer is conditioned upon, among other things, satisfaction of the requirement that there must be validly tendered, and not properly withdrawn, prior to the expiration of this offer, such number of Mass Common Shares that, together with the Mass Common Shares held by Terra Nova and its affiliates, constitute at least 50.1% of the fully diluted Mass Common Shares. In addition to this minimum condition, the following conditions must also be met as of the expiration of this offer, unless waived by us, where permissible: |
• | the registration statement on Form F-4, of which this prospectus is a part, must have been declared effective under theSecurities Act of 1933, as amended, referred to as the “Securities Act”; | ||
• | Terra Nova’s shareholders shall have passed a resolution approving the issuance of up to 25,001,089 Terra Nova Common Shares to be issued in connection with this offer; | ||
• | all government and regulatory approvals, waivers, permits, consents, reviews, investigations or rulings shall have been obtained or concluded on terms satisfactory to Terra Nova; | ||
• | the Terra Nova Common Shares issuable in this offer shall have been approved for listing on the New York Stock Exchange; | ||
• | there shall have been no event having a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Agreement) on Mass; | ||
• | there shall be no legal impediments to this offer and certain events such as trading suspensions, banking moratoriums or the commencement of a war involving the United States shall not have occurred or if any of the foregoing are present at the time of commencement of this offer, there is no material acceleration or worsening thereof; | ||
• | the Agreement shall have not been terminated in accordance with its terms; and | ||
• | Mass’s board of directors shall not have withdrawn or substantially modified its recommendation of this offer. |
These conditions and other conditions to this offer are discussed in this prospectus under “This Offer—Conditions of this Offer” on page 58. | ||
Q. | If You Decide Not to Tender, How Will this Affect this Offer and Your Mass Common Shares? | |
A. | We do not intend to acquire any Mass Common Shares in this offer unless there are validly tendered and not properly withdrawn prior to the expiration of this offer such number of Mass Common Shares that, together with the Mass Common Shares held by Terra Nova and its affiliates, constitute at least 50.1% of the total outstanding Mass Common Shares calculated on a fully diluted basis. Your failure to tender your Mass Common Shares will reduce the likelihood that we will receive tenders of a sufficient number of Mass Common Shares to complete this offer. | |
Q. | Does Terra Nova Have an Option to Acquire Additional Mass Common Shares in Connection with this Offer? | |
A. | We may acquire Mass Common Shares at a price per share equal to the offer consideration, payable in Terra Nova Common Shares, cash or a promissory note in an amount equal to the value of the offer consideration, directly from Mass if the number of Mass Common Shares that have been validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to this offer is less than 90% of the fully diluted Mass Common Shares then outstanding. Pursuant to the Agreement, Mass has granted us an irrevocable option, referred to as the “Top-Up Option”, to purchase from Mass up to that number of Mass Common Shares equal to the lowest number of Mass Common Shares that, when added to the number of Mass Common Shares owned by Terra Nova, the Merger Subsidiary and their affiliates at the time of the exercise of the Top-Up Option, equals at least one share more than 90% of the fully diluted Mass Common Shares outstanding (after exercise of the Top-Up Option and excluding Mass Common Shares held by Terra Nova or an affiliate of Terra Nova at the commencement of this offer). We may exercise the Top-Up Option, subject to certain conditions, at any time after our acceptance for exchange of the Mass Common Shares tendered pursuant to this offer but before the termination of the Agreement. See “The Agreement – Top-up Option” on page 68. |
iv
Table of Contents
Q. | Under What Circumstances Can We Acquire Mass Common Shares not Tendered in this Offer? | |
A. | This offer is intended to facilitate the acquisition of all outstanding Mass Common Shares. If after completion of this offer and (if applicable) the exercise of the Top-Up Option, we have acquired at least 90% of the outstanding Mass Common Shares, excluding the Mass Common Shares held by us or any of our affiliates at the commencement of this offer, we intend to initiate a compulsory acquisition whereby we will acquire all of Mass Common Shares not previously exchanged under this offer from Mass’s shareholders and such shareholders will be required to elect to either: (i) receive the same consideration offered to Mass’s shareholders under this offer; or (ii) demand payment of the fair value of such shares under the Barbados Act. | |
Q. | What will Happen Once We Acquire All of the Outstanding Mass Common Shares? | |
A. | Once we acquire all of the outstanding Mass Common Shares, we intend to cause Mass to complete the Merger with the Merger Subsidiary in accordance with the Barbados Act. If we are unable to complete the Merger for any reason, we intend to pursue other means of causing a merger or amalgamation of Mass and the Merger Subsidiary. | |
Q. | How Long Will It Take to Complete this Offer and the Merger? | |
A. | We hope to complete this offer in the fourth quarter of 2010. This offer is currently scheduled to expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on November 8, 2010. However, we may choose to extend this offer if the conditions to this offer have not been satisfied as of this offer’s scheduled expiration or if we are required to extend this offer pursuant to the SEC’s tender offer rules. | |
If after the completion of this offer we own less than 90% of the outstanding Mass Common Shares and we do not exercise our Top-Up Option or are otherwise unable to complete the Merger, we intend to pursue other means of causing a merger or amalgamation of Mass and the Merger Subsidiary. In such circumstances, a merger or amalgamation of Mass and the Merger Subsidiary could take longer to complete. | ||
Q. | Do Mass Shareholders Have to Vote to Approve this Offer? | |
A. | Because we are extending this offer directly to Mass shareholders, Mass shareholders are not being asked to vote to approve this offer. | |
Q. | What Percentage of Terra Nova Common Shares Will Current Mass Shareholders Own After the Completion of this Offer and the Merger? | |
A. | Assuming completion of this offer and the Merger, Mass shareholders are expected to own approximately 40.0% of the combined company, given that: |
• | 25,001,089 Terra Nova Common Shares are expected to be issued to Mass’s shareholders (other than to us or our affiliates) in this offer and the other transactions contemplated under the Agreement; and | ||
• | 62,570,388 Terra Nova Common Shares are expected to be issued and outstanding after giving effect to the completion of this offer and the Merger. |
Q. | Will Mass Shareholders be Taxed on the Terra Nova Common Shares that They Receive in this Offer? | |
A. | Mass shareholders who receive Terra Nova Common Shares in exchange for Mass Common Shares pursuant to a transaction constituting a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, referred to as the “Code”, will not recognize any gain or loss in the exchange, except with respect to any cash received instead of a fractional Terra Nova Common Share. | |
Shareholders should consult their tax advisors for a full understanding of all of the tax consequences of this offer and the Merger to them. See “This Offer—Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” on page 61. |
v
Table of Contents
Q. | Do the Statements on the Cover Page Regarding this Prospectus Being Subject to Change or Amendment and the Registration Statement Filed with the SEC Not Yet Being Effective Mean that this Offer May Not Commence? | |
A. | No. As permitted under SEC rules, we may commence this offer without the registration statement, of which this prospectus is a part, having been declared effective by the SEC. We cannot, however, complete this offer and accept for exchange any Mass Common Shares tendered in this offer or issue any Terra Nova Common Shares in any transaction contemplated in the Agreement until the registration statement is declared effective by the SEC and the other conditions to our offer have been satisfied or, where permissible, waived. This offer will commence when we first mail this prospectus and the related letter of transmittal to Mass’s shareholders. | |
Q. | Are Terra Nova’s Business, Results of Operations, Financial Condition and Prospects Relevant to Your Decision to Tender Your Shares in this Offer? | |
A. | Yes. If you tender Mass Common Shares in this offer and the conditions of this offer are met or properly waived, you will become a shareholder of Terra Nova because you will receive Terra Nova Common Shares in exchange for your Mass Common Shares. You should therefore consider our financial performance before you decide to tender your Mass Common Shares in this offer. In considering Terra Nova’s financial performance, you should review the pro forma financial information contained in this prospectus as well as the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus because they contain detailed business, financial and other information about us. See “Where You Can Find More Information” on page 81. | |
Q. | If a Majority of the Mass Common Shares are Tendered and Accepted for Exchange, Will Mass Continue as a Public Company? | |
A. | If we acquire at least 50.1% of the outstanding Mass Common Shares on a fully diluted basis upon completion of the Offer and we exercise the Top-Up Option (if applicable), and the remaining outstanding Mass Common Shares are acquired by Terra Nova in accordance with the Barbados Act, Terra Nova and the Merger Subsidiary will effect the Merger if all of the conditions to the Merger contained in the Agreement have been satisfied or, to the extent permitted, waived by Terra Nova or the Merger Subsidiary. If the Merger takes place, Mass will no longer be publicly owned. Even if the Merger does not take place, if we acquire all of the Mass Common Shares tendered in this offer, there may be so few remaining Mass shareholders and publicly held Mass Common Shares that the Mass Common Shares may no longer be eligible to be traded through the Third Market of the Vienna Stock Exchange or on another securities exchange. In that event, there may not be a public trading market for Mass Common Shares. | |
Q. | Are Mass Shareholders Entitled to Appraisal or Dissent Rights? | |
A. | Mass shareholders do not have appraisal or dissent rights in connection with this offer. However, such rights may exist in connection with other transactions contemplated by the Agreement. | |
If, as described elsewhere in this prospectus, we acquire the balance of the outstanding Mass Common Shares not exchanged in this offer in accordance with the Barbados Act, holders of Mass Common Shares that do not validly tender their shares in this offer may have the right under the Barbados Act to demand the fair value of their Mass Common Shares in connection with such a transaction. | ||
Alternatively, if we are unable to complete the Merger, we intend to pursue other means of causing a merger or amalgamation of Mass and the Merger Subsidiary. Holders of Mass Common Shares that do not validly tender their shares in this offer may have dissent rights under the Barbados Act in connection with any such subsequent transactions. | ||
For more information on appraisal or dissent rights, see “This Offer—Appraisal and Dissent Rights” on page 65. |

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET
1. | Represents our historical unaudited consolidated balance sheet, extracted from Terra Nova’s consolidated financial statements. Our historical balance sheet includes an investment associated with the 5% ownership of Mass. See Note 4 below. | |
2. | Represents the historical unaudited consolidated balance sheet of Mass extracted from its unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus. This financial information was prepared using IFRS. Management has reviewed the IFRS information and has preliminarily determined that there are no material differences between the reported IFRS information and what would be recorded using Canadian GAAP. Furthermore, management has reviewed the Canadian GAAP information and has preliminarily determined that there are no material differences between the reported Canadian GAAP information and what would be recorded using US GAAP. A final assessment of the differences in generally accepted accounting principles may result in adjustments that may be required and this may result in material differences being identified. | |
3. | Represents the combined balance sheets in Canadian GAAP. | |
4. | Reflects the elimination of the investment that Terra Nova held in the form of 1,203,627 Mass Common Shares currently held, which has historically been accounted for as trading securities. Represents the resulting loss that resulted from the Transaction. This amount has been recognized in retained earnings and is not reflected in the Pro Forma Income Statements as it will not have an ongoing impact to the results. | |
5. | Represents a reclassification of short-term receivable to long-term receivables. This reclassification is reflective of the fact that, prior to the Transaction but post-balance sheet dates, the term of this receivable has been renegotiated. | |
6. | Reflects the elimination of inter-company transactions that would be eliminated upon consolidation. This elimination assumes a 100% ownership interest in Mass by Terra Nova. Due to the immaterial nature of these amounts, management has not performed a sensitivity analysis. | |
7. | Represents the elimination of convertible bonds, and the subsequent issuance of Mass Common Shares. This adjustment reflects that fact that certain bonds were converted subsequent to the issuance of Mass’s interim financial statements but prior to this Transaction. | |
8. | Reflects the preliminary allocation of the purchase price, and the results associated with the acquisition of all of Mass (less our current ownership) and the preliminary allocation of the Excess as part of the Transaction. An independent appraisal will be performed to determine the fair value of acquired identifiable assets and assumed liabilities, including any identifiable intangible assets related to the Transaction. The final purchase price allocation could result in a materially different allocation than that presented in these Pro Forma Statements, which assumes that fair value of the assets acquired is equivalent to the book value of Mass as at June 30, 2010 plus an increase in the fair value of its resource properties, the adjustment to debt, and goodwill. The purchase consideration paid by Terra Nova is based on the closing trading price for Terra Nova Common Shares on September 28, 2010, and will be adjusted to reflect the fair value of Terra Nova Common Shares, on the date the Transaction closes. Such adjustments may result in, among other things, an increase or decrease in acquired identifiable assets, assumed liabilities and goodwill (or negative goodwill). When the fair value of acquired identifiable assets and assumed liabilities exceeds the aggregate purchase price, any Excess would be recognized immediately in the statement of operations. |
Aggregate Purchase Price: | ||||||||
Value of Terra Nova Common Shares to be issued, based upon the current trading price | $ | 183,757 | A | |||||
Value of current ownership interest | 8,847 | |||||||
Net book value of net assets of Mass acquired | $ | 215,362 | ||||||
Fair value increase of Mass’s assets | 18,000 | B | ||||||
Elimination of goodwill | (4,793 | ) | ||||||
Conversion of debt instruments into equity | 2,610 | |||||||
Total fair value of net assets of Mass: | 231,179 | |||||||
Excess | $ | 38,575 | C | |||||
A | - Represents the estimated value of the Terra Nova Common Shares, being 25,001,089 shares, used to acquire all of Mass (less our current ownership). This aggregate purchase value is based on Terra Nova’s closing trading share price on September 28, 2010, being $7.35 per share, as an estimate of the fair value of the shares to be issued upon |

Table of Contents
completion of the Transaction. The aggregate purchase price may change based on the finalization of this Transaction as the consideration will be based on fair value of Terra Nova Common Shares at the closing date and will have a resulting impact on the purchase price allocation. | ||
A movement in the price of Terra Nova Common Shares of $1.00 based on the shares volatility, will increase/decrease the purchase price by approximately $25 million, and would therefore impact the level of goodwill or negative goodwill recognized. If the share price for Terra Nova Common Shares reached a level of approximately $9.00, there would be no Excess recognized. | ||
B | — Represents an increase in fair value related to Mass’s resource property. | ||
C — Represents an excess of net identifiable assets acquired over purchase cost that under Canadian GAAP would be recognized as a gain in the statement of operations. This amount is subject to change for two primary reasons: the share price on closing will impact the purchase price, and the fair value exercise that is to be completed will impact the fair value assumptions used above. This amount is not reflected in the pro forma income statement as it is a one-time gain and will not have an ongoing impact to Terra Nova’s results. |
9. | This offer is part of a several step transaction, which includes the subsequent merger of Mass and a Terra Nova subsidiary, designed to effect a combination with an exchange ratio based upon the fully-diluted net book value of each company adjusted in the case of Terra Nova to reflect the recently completed rights offering, referred to as the “Rights Offering”, the distribution of KID Shares on September 23, 2010, referred to as the “Third Distribution”, the expected increase to the change in the fair value of its Wabush royalty interest and the after-tax recovery for past royalty underpayments, excluding pending claims for interest and costs, referred to as the “Arbitration Award”. In the case of Mass, its net book value was adjusted to reflect the fair value of its resource interests. Based upon the foregoing adjustments, for the purposes of this offer, the parties determined that the diluted adjusted net book value per share of each party was approximately equal as a basis for the one to one share exchange. | |
The share price for Terra Nova Common Shares may be impacted by, among other things: (i) this offer; (ii) future distributions of Terra Nova’s KID Shares; (iii) the Arbitration Award; and (iv) the increase in the fair value of the Wabush royalty interest. | ||
10. | Represents the adjustment to equity to record the additional shares which were issued in the Transaction, net of the adjustment to eliminate the historical equity accounts of the entities consolidated as a result of the Transactions. | |
11. | Represents the Canadian GAAP pro forma balance sheet. | |
12. | The inventory write-down incurred in Terra Nova’s industrial plant technology, equipment and service business which was deconsolidated from March 31, 2010. | |
Under Canadian GAAP, the amount of any write-down of inventories to net realizable value of inventories shall be recognized as an expense in the period the write-down occurs. The amount of any reversal of any write-down of inventories, arising from an increase in net realizable value, shall be recognized as a reduction in the amount of inventories recognized as an expense in the period in which the reversal occurs. Under US GAAP, the entity shall not recognize any reversal of any previously recognized write-down arising from the subsequent increase in the net realizable value. | ||
13. | The defined benefit pension cost incurred in Terra Nova’s industrial plant technology, equipment and service business which was deconsolidated from March 31, 2010. | |
Pursuant to US GAAP, a business entity that sponsors a defined benefit plan shall (a) recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit plan as an asset or liability in its balance sheet and recognize changes in that funded status in comprehensive income in the year in which the changes occur; and (b) measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end balance sheet, with limited exceptions. | ||
Under US GAAP, the accumulated other comprehensive income includes the net gain and loss amounts that had not yet been recognized as net periodic benefit cost for the periods then ended. The unrecognized pension cost arises from actuarial gains and losses. | ||
14. | As a result of the deconsolidation of Terra Nova’s industrial plant technology, equipment and service business effective from March 31, 2010, the assets and liabilities of Terra Nova’s industrial plant technology, equipment and service business were presented in one line, on net basis, on Terra Nova’s consolidated balance sheet and deferred tax liability had been provided for the outside basis difference of Terra Nova’s equity interest in the industrial plant technology, equipment and service business. Pursuant to the Pro Forma Adjustment Numbers 12 and 13, the carrying amount of the investment in the industrial plant technology, equipment and service business was reduced, net of the deferred income tax. |

Table of Contents
• | Strategic Growth through Acquisition.Terra Nova’s board of directors believes that the most successful companies are those with greater financial resources and a global presence. The acquisition of Mass furthers Terra Nova’s strategy of expanding its operations through combinations with well-established companies. Terra Nova’s board of directors believes that the combined network of international operations and subsidiaries of both companies could be leveraged on a worldwide basis and would provide Terra Nova with greater penetration into the fast-growing Asian markets. | ||
• | Adjusted Book Value Valuation— The exchange ratio under this offer is based upon the fully-diluted net book value of each company adjusted: (i) in the case of Terra Nova, for the Terra Nova Adjustments, comprising the change in the fair value of its Wabush royalty interest; the Arbitration Award; a payment for a resource property in the third quarter of 2010; the Rights Offering; and the Third Distribution; and (ii) in the case of Mass, to reflect the Mass Adjustments. Based upon the foregoing adjustments, for the purposes of this offer, Terra Nova and Mass determined the adjusted book value of Terra Nova and Mass to be approximately equal. See “Background and Reasons for this Offer and the Merger — The Offer Ratio”. | ||
• | Increased Scope— Terra Nova’s board of directors believes that the acquisition of Mass would create a combined company that will be well-positioned to exploit and execute on opportunities relating to the mining and commodities trading businesses with greater capital and resources. As a result, Terra Nova intends to distribute to its shareholders the balance of the KID Shares after the completion of this offer. Based on the unaudited balance sheets as at June 30, 2010 for each of Terra Nova and Mass, after giving pro forma effect to this offer, the Offer Ratio Adjustments and the intended distribution of the remaining KID Shares to Terra Nova’s shareholders, the combined company is expected to have total assets of approximately $830.5 million, cash and cash equivalents of approximately $363.0 million and working capital of approximately $353.9 million. The combined resources of Terra Nova and Mass will enhance Terra Nova’s ability to execute and exploit opportunities in the current businesses of the parties. | ||
• | Complementary Businesses.Terra Nova’s board of directors believes that the commodities business of Mass is complimentary to Terra Nova’s current focus on mineral royalties and other natural resource interests. In particular, the expertise and resources of Mass will be valuable to Terra Nova as it seeks to grow in the natural resource sector. | ||
• | Management Team.Terra Nova’s board of directors believes that Mass’s management team has skill sets that complement and enhance those of Terra Nova’s personnel. | ||
• | Fairness Opinion —The Special Committee retained Raymond James as its financial advisor in connection with the proposed acquisition of Mass. Raymond James provided the Special Committee with a fairness opinion to the effect that, as of the date thereof, and subject to the assumptions and qualifications set out therein, the consideration being offered under this offer was fair, from a financial point of view, to Terra Nova’s shareholders. | ||
• | Meaningful Cost Savings and Other Synergies— Although no assurance can be given that any particular level of cost savings and other synergies will be achieved, the Terra Nova’s board of directors believes that the acquisition of Mass will provide the potential for meaningful cost synergies over time. |

Capitalization | Mass is authorized to issue an unlimited number of Mass Common Shares, an unlimited number of Class A redeemable preferred shares, and an unlimited number of Class B preferred shares.

Dividend Policy | Mass directors have complete discretion to declare dividends on the Mass Common Shares to the exclusion of other classes of shares entitled to receive dividends. However, no dividend can be declared or paid on any class of shares at any time if to do so would reduce the net assets of Mass to an amount insufficient to redeem all of Mass’s preferred shares then issued and outstanding. | Terra Nova’s board of directors have the discretion to, from time to time, declare and authorize payment of any dividends. Directors also are not required to give notice to any shareholder of any dividend declaration and may solely determine when the dividend is payable. | ||
Quorum for Shareholders’ Meetings | According to Mass’s constating documents, quorum for transacting business at any meeting of Mass’s shareholders consists of at least two persons holding between them a minimum of at least 50 percent of the issued voting shares of Mass. However, Mass’s directors have the power to establish quorum requirements in respect of any meeting of Mass’s shareholders of between 5 and 50 percent of the issued voting shares of Mass. | Subject to any special rights and restrictions attached to any shares or any class of shares, the quorum for the transaction of business at a meeting of shareholders is two persons who are entitled to vote at the meeting in person or by proxy. | ||
Number of Directors and Size of Board | The board of directors of Mass must consist of between 3 and 20 directors, or such other number as the directors may from time to time determine. Mass’s board of directors currently has three directors. | The board of directors of Terra Nova must consist of at least three directors. Terra Nova’s board of directors currently has four directors. | ||
Term of Directors | The directors of Mass are divided into three classes: Class A, Class B and Class C. Each class of directors must have the same number of directors, except where the total number of directors is not divisible by three, in which case Class A and Class B will have the same number of directors and Class C the remaining balance. Each director will hold office until the close of the third annual meeting of shareholders after the date of their appointment. | The directors of Terra Nova are divided into three classes: Class I, Class II and Class III. Each class of director holds a three year term, with such terms staggered over three years. For example, Class I directors were elected in the first annual general meeting of Terra Nova under theBusiness Corporations Act(British Columbia) referred to as the “BCA” to hold office for a three year term, whereas Class I and Class III directors were elected in the second and third annual meetings of Terra Nova, respectively. Each Class of director will hold office until the third annual general meeting following their election as director. A successor director who replaces a director who resigned before the expiration of his or her term shall be appointed or elected for the remaining term of such resigned director. |

Removal of Directors | In accordance with Barbados corporate legislation, Mass shareholders may, by ordinary resolution at a special meeting, remove any director from office.

If the shareholders do not contemporaneously elect or appoint a director to fill the vacancy created by the removal of a director, then the remaining directors may appoint, or the shareholders may elect or appoint by ordinary resolution, a director to fill that vacancy. Alternatively, the directors of Terra Nova may remove any fellow director before the expiration of his or her term of office, if such director is convicted of an indictable offense, or if the director ceases to be qualified to act as a director of a company and does not promptly resign. In such a situation, the directors may appoint a director to fill the resulting vacancy. | ||
Vacancies on the Board | Where there is any vacancy or vacancies among Mass’s directors, the directors then in office may exercise all powers of the board of directors so long as a quorum of three directors remain in office. Any vacancy occurring among Mass’s directors can be filled for the remainder of the term by such directors. | Any casual vacancy occurring on Terra Nova’s board of directors may be filled by the other remaining directors. Alternatively, if Terra Nova has no directors or fewer directors than required to establish quorum, the shareholders of Terra Nova may elect or appoint directors to fill any vacancy. | ||
Board Quorum and Vote Requirements | According to Mass’s constating documents with the exception of the appointment of directors as described above, a majority of directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. | According to Terra Nova’s articles of incorporation, the quorum necessary for the transaction of the business of Terra Nova’s directors may be set by the directors and, if not so set, is the majority of directors. | ||

* | On July 3, 2006, the Company entered into a trust indenture agreement with respect to the issuance of convertible bonds up to an aggregate principal amount of $50,000. In 2006, $5,000 bonds were issued. The bonds are due on the maturity date of July 3, 2015 or an earlier date (which is defined as the date of the third or fifth anniversary of the indenture) if the holder elects. Holders of the convertible bonds can convert all or parts of their bonds into the Company’s Class A common shares anytime in accordance with the terms in the trust indenture agreement. The conversion price is the base conversion price increased by 5% (compounded) on the anniversary of the indenture following the relevant issue date, as defined in the trust indenture. 20% of the proceeds were assigned to the fair value of the equity component of the convertible bonds, based on the market comparison approach. |
