As a result of the Disposition, Mr. Carswell now has beneficial ownership of or control over, directly or indirectly, 1,277,815 Class A Units, representing approximately 14.05% of the 9,091,620 issued and outstanding Class A Units on a non-diluted basis, and 346 Class F Units, representing approximately 0.34% of the 101,599 issued and outstanding Class F Units. Accordingly, assuming all of the Class F Units beneficially owned or controlled by Mr. Carswell were exercised for Class A Units (and no other Class F Units were exercised), Mr. Carswell would have beneficial ownership of or control over, directly or indirectly, 1,278,161 Class A Units, representing approximately 14.06% of the 9,091,966 issued and outstanding Class A Units on a partially-diluted basis after the Disposition.
The Class A Units beneficially owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by Mr. Carswell as a result of the Disposition are being held for investment purposes. Mr. Carswell may, depending on market, general economic, industry and other conditions and considerations, and in compliance with applicable securities laws, increase or decrease its respective ownership or control of Class A Units for investment purposes.
Mr. Carswell will file an early warning report (the "Early Warning Report") with the securities regulators in each of the provinces of Canada with respect to the foregoing matters pursuant to National Instrument 62-103 The Early Warning System and Related Take-Over Bid and Insider Reporting Issues.
