Subsequent Acquisition Transaction. If, within four months after the date of the Offer, the Offer has been accepted by Shareholders holding not less than 90% of the outstanding Company Shares as at the Expiry Time, excluding Company Shares held at the date of the Offer by or on behalf of the Offeror, or an affiliate or an associate of the Offeror, the Offeror may, to the extent possible, acquire the remainder of the Company Shares from those Shareholders who have not accepted the Offer, pursuant to a Compulsory Acquisition. If that statutory right of acquisition is not available, the Offeror will pursue other means of acquiring the remaining Company Shares not tendered to the Offer. The Company agrees that, in the event the Offeror takes up and pays for Company Shares tendered under the Offer representing at least 66-2/3% of the outstanding Company Shares (calculated on a fully-diluted basis as at the Expiry Time), it will assist the Offeror in connection with any proposed amalgamation, statutory arrangement, capital reorganization or other transaction involving the Company and the Offeror or an affiliate of the Offeror (a “Subsequent Acquisition Transaction”) to acquire the remaining Company Shares, provided that the consideration offered in connection with the Subsequent Acquisition Transaction is at least equivalent in value to the consideration offered under the Offer.
