Capped Call Transactions
In connection with the pricing of the Notes, the Company has entered into privately negotiated cash-settled capped call transactions with an affiliate of one of the initial purchasers of the Notes and certain other financial institutions (the "capped call counterparties"). The capped call transactions cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the Notes, the number of Shares that will initially underlie the Notes. The cap price of the capped call transactions is initially
The capped call transactions are expected generally to compensate (through the payment of cash to the Company) for potential economic dilution upon conversion of the Notes and/or offset any cash payments that the Company could be required to make in excess of the principal amount of any converted Notes upon conversion thereof, as the case may be, with such compensation and/or offset subject to a cap.
In connection with establishing their initial hedges of the capped call transactions, the Company expects that the capped call counterparties or their respective affiliates to enter into various derivative transactions with respect to the Shares and/or purchase Shares concurrently with, or shortly after, the pricing of the Notes, including with, or from, as the case may be, certain investors in the Notes. This activity could increase (or reduce the size of any decrease in) the market price of the Shares or the Notes at that time.
In addition, the capped call counterparties or their respective affiliates may modify their hedge positions by entering into or unwinding various derivatives with respect to the Shares and/or purchasing or selling the Shares or other of the Company's securities in secondary market transactions following the pricing of the Notes and prior to the maturity of the Notes (and are likely to do so during the 45 trading day period beginning on the 46th scheduled trading day prior to the maturity date of the Notes and, to the extent the Company exercises the relevant election under the capped call transactions, following any earlier conversion, redemption or repurchase of the Notes). This activity could also cause or avoid an increase or a decrease in the market price of the Shares or the Notes, which could affect a noteholder's ability to convert the Notes and, to the extent the activity occurs during any observation period related to a conversion of the Notes, it could affect the number of Shares and value of the consideration that noteholders will receive upon conversion of the Notes.
The Offering is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary approvals, including the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange and the NYSE American.
The Notes and the Shares issuable upon the conversion thereof have not been and will not be registered under the
This press release is neither an offer to sell nor the solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes or any other securities and shall not constitute an offer to sell or solicitation of an offer to buy, or a sale of, the Notes or any other securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale is unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.
