Socio-Economic Impacts. Ambitious energy and climate policy have wide-ranging implications on the European economy. Decarbonisation is set to impact the sectoral output, demand and employment, the prices of goods and services, the allocation of capital, labour and energy resources in productive activities and the international competitiveness of domestic industrial firms. The transition to climate neutrality by mid-century requires reallocation of capital and labour forces across and within productive sectors. It also asks for increased investment in energy efficiency, renewable energy and low-carbon fuels and enhanced low-carbon innovation and economies of scale to drive down the costs of clean energy technologies. This is a gradual, still complex process that entails shifts in investment patterns and large restructuring of economies, moving away from the current paradigm of fossil-based energy, private Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) cars and inefficient use of energy. As COVID-19 pandemic has made evident, many other factors (including automation, globalisation, digitalisation) may affect economic development in different ways, i.e., in terms of cyclical developments as well as structural long-lasting changes. Decarbonisation would create significant challenges and opportunities for countries, businesses, and citizens; the socio-economic outcome of the transition would depend on a multitude of factors, including the efficiency of the adopted policy mix, the provision of low-cost finance, the international policy ambition, the availability of labour skills and the scheme for recycling the ETS revenues. The demand for fossil fuels will rapidly decline because of ambitious emission reduction policies, impacting directly those working in coal, oil, and gas industries, but also those working in fossil-fired power plants and in the manufacturing of ICEs. The risk of early retirement of productive assets and the difficult adjustments in the labour market driven by market frictions and potential mismatches between skills available and skill requirements of the low-carbon economy is imminent. The challenges related to capital and labour reallocation increase with the speed at which the transformation must occur. Macro-economic impacts are assessed under various policy scenarios aiming to climate neutrality in the EU. Given the critical role of economic and trade interactions with other regions, section 5.5 describes the competitiveness impacts of different climate policy futures. Howe...

(c) Parent will ensure that the record date for any event referred to in Section 2.7(a) or 2.7(b) above, or (if no record date is applicable for such event) the effective date for any such event, is not less than five Business Days after the date on which such event is declared or announced by Parent (with contemporaneous notification thereof by Parent to ExchangeCo). (d) The Board of Directors of ExchangeCo shall determine, in good faith and in its sole discretion, economic equivalence for the purposes of any event referred to in Section 2.7(a) or 2.7(b) hereof and each such determination shall be conclusive and binding on Parent. In making each such determination, the following factors shall, without excluding other factors determined by the Board of Directors of ExchangeCo to be relevant, be considered by the Board of Directors of ExchangeCo: (i) in the case of any stock dividend or other distribution payable in Parent Common Stock, the number of such shares issued in proportion to the number of Parent Common Stock previously outstanding; (ii) in the case of the issuance or distribution of any rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase Parent Common Stock (or securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into or carrying rights to acquire Parent Common Stock), the relationship between the exercise price of each such right, option or warrant and the current market value (as determined by the Board of Directors of ExchangeCo in the manner above contemplated) of a Parent Common Share; (iii) in the case of the issuance or distribution of any other form of property (including without limitation any shares or securities of Parent of any class other than Parent Common Stock, any rights, options or warrants other than those referred to in Section 2.7(d)(ii) above, any evidences of indebtedness of Parent or any assets of Parent), the relationship between the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors of ExchangeCo in the manner above contemplated) of such property to be issued or distributed with respect to each outstanding Parent Common Share and the current market value (as determined by the Board of Directors of ExchangeCo in the manner above contemplated) of a Parent Common Share; (iv) in the case of any subdivision, redivision or change of the then outstanding Parent Common Stock into a greater number of Parent Common Stock or the reduction, combination, consolidation or change of the then outstanding Parent Common Stock into a lesser number of Parent Common Stock or any amalgamation, merger, reorganization or other transaction affecting Parent Common Stock, the effect thereof upon the then outstanding Parent Common Stock; and (v) in all such cases, the general taxation consequences of the relevant event to holders of Exchangeable Shares to the extent that such consequences may differ from the taxation consequences to holders of Parent Common Stock as a result of differences between taxation laws of Canada and the United States (except for any differing consequences arising as a result of differing marginal taxation rates and without regard to the individual circumstances of holders of Exchangeable Shares). For purposes of the foregoing determinations, the current market value of any security listed and traded or quoted on a securities exchange shall be the weighted average of the daily trading prices of such security during a period of not less than 20 consecutive trading days ending not more than three trading days before the date of determination on the principal securities exchange on which such securities are listed and traded or quoted; provided, however, that if in the opinion of the Board of Directors of ExchangeCo the public distribution or trading activity of such securities during such period does not create a market which reflects the fair market value of such securities, then the current market value thereof shall be determined by the Board of Directors of ExchangeCo, in good faith and in its sole discretion, and provided further that any such determination by the Board of Directors of ExchangeCo shall be conclusive and binding on Parent.
