ROF8 directly holds 225,515 Common Shares and 723,008 Warrants (130,624 warrants with a strike price of $24.31 which expire on May 3, 2025 and 592,384 warrants with a strike price of $26.82 which expire on March 4, 2027). OCG is the indirect manager of each of Opps OCW Holdings and ROF8, OCGH GP is the indirect owner of class B units of OCG, Brookfield is the indirect owner of class A units of OCG, and BAM Partnership is the sole owner of Class B Limited Voting Shares of Brookfield; in such capacities, each of OCG, OCGH GP, Brookfield, and BAM Partnership may be deemed to beneficially own the reported securities.
The securities purchase agreement (“Securities Purchase Agreement”) and warrant agreement (“Warrant Agreement”), each dated as of March 4, 2021, provide that no holder without prior written notice to the Issuer and receipt by the Issuer of any required approvals be entitled to exercise the Warrants for a number of Common Shares in excess of that number of Common Shares which, upon giving effect to such exercise, would cause the aggregate number of Shares beneficially owned by the holder and its affiliates and any other persons whose beneficial ownership of Common Shares would be aggregated with the holder’s to exceed 9.9% of the total number of issued and outstanding Common Shares of the Issuer following such exercise (such limits under the Securities Purchase Agreement and Warrant Agreement, the “Ownership Cap”). Accordingly, the Reporting Persons do not beneficially own, and are not reporting herein, the aggregate 1,103,070 Common Shares underlying Warrants that, as a result of the Ownership Cap, are not currently exercisable.
All calculations of beneficial ownership reported herein are based upon 7,677,008 Common Shares outstanding as of October 31, 2023, as reported in the Form 10-Q, as increased by 342,946 Common Shares issuable in respect of 342,946 Warrants, reflecting the limitation of the Ownership Cap.
