Collingwood Investments is a member of the Bragg Group of Companies, a Nova Scotia-based private enterprise that also owns Oxford Frozen Foods and Eastlink, among other entities.



Under an investor rights agreement to be executed at closing, Collingwood Investments will receive pro rata pre-emptive rights on future equity issuances by the company. The investor will also be subject to a one-year post-closing restriction on certain voting agreements. All securities issued will carry a statutory hold period of four months and one day under Canadian securities laws.



Paradigm Capital Inc. is acting as exclusive financial advisor to Enablence, and Bennett Jones LLP is serving as legal advisor in connection with the offering.
