The Consolidation reduced the number of issued and outstanding Common Shares from 123,647,377 Common Shares to 61,823,701 Common Shares. As a result of the Consolidation, shares issuable pursuant to the Company's outstanding options, warrants, restricted share units and other convertible securities will be proportionally adjusted on the same basis. Effective today, the post-consolidated Common Shares of the Company have been assigned a new CUSIP number of 83419D201 and ISIN number of CA83419D2014.
The Company’s transfer agent, Computershare Investor Services, has sent a letter of transmittal to registered shareholders providing instructions to surrender the certificates evidencing their Common Shares for replacement certificates representing the number of post-consolidation Common Shares to which they are entitled. Until surrendered, each certificate representing Common Shares prior to the Consolidation will be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of Common Shares to which the holder thereof is entitled as a result of the Consolidation. Shareholders who hold their shares in brokerage accounts or “street name” are not required to take any action to effect the exchange of their shares.
