The Reorganization 1.1 The Acquired Fund will transfer to the Surviving Fund all of its assets (consisting of, without limitation, portfolio securities and instruments, dividend and interest receivables, claims and rights of action, cash and other assets) as set forth in a statement of assets and liabilities as of the Valuation Time (as defined in paragraph 2.1 hereof), certified by the Acquired Fund’s Treasurer, Deputy Treasurer, or Assistant Treasurer and delivered by the Acquired Fund to the Surviving Fund pursuant to paragraph 5.7 hereof (the “Statement of Assets and Liabilities”) (collectively, the “Assets”), free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, except as otherwise provided herein, in exchange solely for (a) the assumption by the Surviving Fund of all of the liabilities of the Acquired Fund including the Acquired Fund’s liabilities, debts, obligations, and duties of whatever kind or nature, whether absolute, accrued, contingent, or otherwise, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business (collectively, the “Liabilities”) and (b) the issuance and delivery by the Surviving Fund to the Acquired Fund, for distribution in accordance with paragraph 1.3 hereof pro rata to the Acquired Fund shareholders of record determined as of the Valuation Time (the “Acquired Fund Shareholders”), of the number of full and fractional (rounded to the third decimal place) Reorganization Shares determined as provided in paragraph 2.2 hereof. Such transactions shall take place at the closing provided for in paragraph 3.1 hereof (the “Closing”).
1.2 The Acquired Fund has provided the Surviving Fund with a list of the current securities holdings and other assets of the Acquired Fund as of the date of execution of this Agreement. The Acquired Fund reserves the right to sell any of these securities or other assets prior to the Closing.
1.3 On or as soon after the closing date established in paragraph 3.1 hereof (the “Closing Date”) as is conveniently practicable (the “Liquidation Date”), the Acquired Fund will distribute the Reorganization Shares it received pursuant to paragraph 1.1 hereof pro rata to the Acquired Fund Shareholders in actual or constructive exchange for their Acquired Fund Shares in complete liquidation of the Acquired Fund. Such distribution will be accomplished by the transfer of the Initial Class and Service Class Reorganization Shares then credited to the account of the Acquired Fund on the books of the Surviving Fund to open accounts on the share records of the Surviving Fund in the names of the Acquired Fund Shareholders and representing the respective pro rata number of full and fractional (rounded to the third decimal place) Initial Class and Service Class Reorganization Shares due such shareholders, by class (i.e., the account for each Acquired Fund Shareholder of Initial Class and Service Class Acquired Fund Shares shall be credited with the respective pro rata number of Initial Class and Service Class (as applicable) Reorganization Shares due that shareholder). The Surviving Fund will not issue share certificates representing the Reorganization Shares in connection with such distribution, except in connection with pledges and assignments and in certain other limited circumstances.
1.4 The Acquired Fund shall use reasonable efforts to ensure that Acquired Fund Shareholders holding certificates representing their ownership of Acquired Fund Shares surrender such certificates or deliver an affidavit with respect to lost certificates, in such form and accompanied by such surety bonds as the Acquired Fund may require (collectively, an “Affidavit”), to the Acquired Fund prior to the Closing Date. Any Acquired Fund Share certificate that remains outstanding on the Closing Date shall be deemed to be cancelled, shall no longer show evidence of ownership of Acquired Fund Shares and shall not evidence ownership of any Reorganization Shares. Unless and until any such certificate shall be so surrendered or an Affidavit relating thereto shall be delivered, any dividends and other distributions payable by the Surviving Fund subsequent to the Closing Date with respect to the Reorganization Shares allocable to a holder of such certificate(s) shall be paid to such holder, but such holder may not redeem or transfer such Reorganization Shares.
1.5 Any transfer taxes payable upon issuance of the Reorganization Shares in a name other than the registered holder of the Acquired Fund Shares on the books of the Acquired Fund as of that time shall, as a condition of such issuance and transfer, be paid by the person to whom such Reorganization Shares are to be issued and transferred.
1.6 The legal existence of the Acquired Fund shall be terminated promptly following the Liquidation Date.
Reorganization Events (a) In the event of:
(i) any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another Person (other than a merger or consolidation in which the Company is the continuing or surviving corporation and in which the Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the merger or consolidation is not exchanged for cash, securities or other property of the Company or another Person);
(ii) any direct or indirect sale, lease, assignment, transfer or conveyance of all or substantially all of the Company’s consolidated property or assets;
(iii) any reclassification of Common Stock into securities, including securities other than Common Stock (other than changes in par value or resulting from a subdivision or combination); or
(iv) any statutory exchange of securities of the Company with another Person (other than in connection with a merger or acquisition); in each case, as a result of which the Common Stock would be converted into, or exchanged for, securities, cash or other property (each, a “Reorganization Event”), each Purchase Contract outstanding immediately prior to such Reorganization Event shall, without the consent of Holders of the Purchase Contracts, become a contract to purchase the kind of securities, cash and/or other property that a holder of Common Stock would have been entitled to receive in connection with such Reorganization Event (such securities, cash and other property, the “Exchange Property” with each unit of Exchange Property being the kind and amount of Exchange Property that a holder of one share of Common Stock would have received in such Reorganization Event) and, prior to or at the effective time of such Reorganization Event, the Company or the successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, shall execute with the Purchase Contract Agent and the Trustee a supplemental agreement permitted under Section 9.01(iv) amending this Agreement and the Purchase Contracts to provide for such change in the right to settle the Purchase Contracts. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall a Qualified McKesson Exit and related transactions, including the Merger, constitute a Reorganization Event. For purposes of the foregoing, the type and amount of Exchange Property in the case of any Reorganization Event that causes the Common Stock to be converted into, or exchanged for, the right to receive more than a single type of consideration (determined based in part upon any form of shareholder election) will be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration actually received by the holders of Common Stock. The Company shall notify the Purchase Contract Agent in writing of such weighted average as soon as practicable after such determination is made. The number of units of Exchange Property the Company shall deliver for each Purchase Contract settled following the effective date of such Reorganization Event shall be equal to the number of shares of Common Stock that the Company would otherwise be required to deliver as determined based on the Fixed Settlement Rates then in effect on the applicable Determination Date, or such other settlement rates as provided herein (without interest thereon and without any right to dividends or distributions thereon which have a record date prior to the close of business on the Determination Date). Each Fixed Settlement Rate shall be determined based upon the Applicable Market Value of a unit of Exchange Property that a holder of one share of Common Stock would have received in such Reorganization Event.
Tax-Free Reorganization The Merger is intended to be a tax-free plan or reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
Capital Reorganization If and whenever at any time prior to Expiration Date there shall be a reorganization, reclassification or other change of Common Shares outstanding at such time or change of the Common Shares into other shares or into other securities, or a consolidation, amalgamation, arrangement or merger of the Company with or into any other corporation or other entity (other than a consolidation, amalgamation, arrangement or merger which does not result in any reclassification of the outstanding Common Shares or a change of the Common Shares into other shares), or a sale, conveyance or transfer of the undertaking or assets of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to another corporation or entity in which the holders of Common Shares are entitled to receive shares, other securities or property, including cash (any of such events being herein called a “Capital Reorganization”), any Warrantholder who exercises its right to subscribe for and purchase Warrant Shares pursuant to the exercise of the Warrant after the effective date of such Capital Reorganization shall be entitled to receive, and shall accept for the same aggregate consideration in lieu of the number of Warrant Shares to which the Warrantholder was theretofore entitled upon such exercise, the aggregate number of shares, other securities or other property, including cash, which the Warrantholder would have received as a result of such Capital Reorganization had it exercised its right to acquire Warrant Shares immediately prior to the effective date or record date, as the case may be, of the Capital Reorganization and had it been the registered holder of such Warrant Shares on such effective date or record date, as the case may be, subject to adjustment thereafter in accordance with provisions the same, as nearly as may be possible, as those contained in Sections 13(a) through 13(j), inclusive. No Capital Reorganization shall be completed by the Company unless the foregoing provisions of this Section 13(r) have been complied with to the satisfaction of the Warrantholder and the Warrantholder has confirmed the same in writing to the Company, which confirmation shall not be unreasonably withheld.
Section 368 Reorganization For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Share Exchange is intended to constitute a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(B) of the Code. The parties to this Agreement hereby adopt this Agreement as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a) of the United States Treasury Regulations. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the parties acknowledge and agree that no party is making any representation or warranty as to the qualification of the Share Exchange as a reorganization under Section 368 of the Code or as to the effect, if any, that any transaction consummated prior to the Closing Date has or may have on any such reorganization status. The parties acknowledge and agree that each (i) has had the opportunity to obtain independent legal and tax advice with respect to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, and (ii) is responsible for paying its own Taxes, including without limitation, any adverse Tax consequences that may result if the transaction contemplated by this Agreement is not determined to qualify as a reorganization under Section 368 of the Code.
Corporate Reorganization In the event that the Company changes ownership, merges with another company or in any way changes its corporate identity, this Agreement will remain in full force and effect and the Union recognition now in effect and/or the certificate issued by the Canada Labour Relations Board then in existence shall not be affected in any way except as otherwise governed or directed by the Board. The Company further agrees to enter into negotiations with the Union relative to protection of employees' seniority and other conditions of this Agreement. Failing settlement, the provisions of the Canada Labour Code will apply.
Adjustment for Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger In case of any reorganization of the Company (or of any other corporation or entity, the stock or other securities of which are at the time receivable on the exercise of this Warrant), after the date of this Warrant, or in case, after such date, the Company (or any such corporation or entity) shall consolidate with or merge into another corporation or entity or convey all or substantially all of its assets to another corporation or entity, then, and in each such case, the Holder, upon the exercise of this Warrant (as provided in Section 2), at any time after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation, merger or conveyance, shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the stock or other securities and property receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant prior to such consummation, the stock or other securities or property to which the Holder would have been entitled upon the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation, merger or conveyance if the Holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior thereto, all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Warrant, and the successor or purchasing corporation or entity in such reorganization, consolidation, merger or conveyance (if other than the Company) shall duly execute and deliver to the Holder a supplement hereto acknowledging such corporation's or entity's obligations under this Warrant; and in each such case, the terms of this Warrant shall be applicable to the shares of stock or other securities or property receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation, merger or conveyance.
Merger or Reorganization If at any time there shall be any reorganization, recapitalization, merger or consolidation (a “Reorganization”) involving the Company (other than as otherwise provided for herein or as would cause the expiration of this Warrant under Section 8) in which shares of the Company’s stock are converted into or exchanged for securities, cash or other property, then, as a part of such Reorganization, lawful provision shall be made so that the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property of the successor corporation resulting from such Reorganization, equivalent in value to that which a holder of the Shares deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant would have been entitled in such Reorganization if the right to purchase the Shares hereunder had been exercised immediately prior to such Reorganization. In any such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the successor corporation) shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Warrant with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder after such Reorganization to the end that the provisions of this Warrant shall be applicable after the event, as near as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares or other securities deliverable after that event upon the exercise of this Warrant.
Adjustment for Reorganization If there shall occur any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger involving the Company in which the Common Stock is converted into or exchanged for securities, cash or other property (other than a transaction covered by subsections 2(a), 2(b) or 2(d)) (collectively, a “Reorganization”), then, following such Reorganization, the Registered Holder shall receive upon exercise hereof the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property which the Registered Holder would have been entitled to receive pursuant to such Reorganization if such exercise had taken place immediately prior to such Reorganization. In any such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Board) shall be made in the application of the provisions set forth herein with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Registered Holder, to the end that the provisions set forth in this Section 2 (including provisions with respect to changes in and other adjustments of the Purchase Price) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to any securities, cash or other property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant.
Tax-Free Reorganization Treatment The Company and Parent shall not, and shall not permit any of their respective Subsidiaries to, intentionally take or cause to be taken any action not otherwise consistent with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement which could reasonably be expected to prevent the Merger from qualifying as a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.
