EXHIBIT 10.11
WARRANT AGREEMENT
THIS WARRANT AGREEMENT (the "AGREEMENT") has been entered into as of the 30th
day of April, 2004, by and among Microcell Telecommunications Inc.
("MICROCELL"), a corporation existing under the laws of Canada, and COM Canada,
LLC, a Washington limited liability company ("COM Canada ");
WHEREAS on or about the 24th day of March, 2004, Microcell filed a final
prospectus in Canada, whereby it offered to the holders of record of its shares
on the record date, rights to subscribe for Class B Non-Voting Shares (the
"CLASS B SHARES") in its share capital, the whole as further set out in the
prospectus (the "RIGHTS OFFERING");
WHEREAS, in connection with the Rights Offering, as of the 26th day of February,
2004, Microcell and COM Canada entered into a standby purchase agreement (the
"STANDBY AGREEMENT") whereby, inter alia, COM Canada agreed to purchase all of
the Class B Shares that were offered but not otherwise purchased pursuant to the
Rights Offering as well as the Basic Shares (as such term is defined in the
Standby Agreement) which Microcell agreed to issue to COM Canada;
WHEREAS, in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in the Standby
Agreement, Microcell had also agreed to issue COM Canada warrants to acquire
Class B Shares;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and
other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto have agreed as set forth below.
ARTICLE I
ISSUANCE of WARRANTS
1.1 Microcell hereby issues to COM Canada which hereby accepts, subject to the
terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, 3,977,272 warrants, each such
warrant entitling COM Canada to purchase one Class B Share at an exercise
price of $22.00 per Class B Share (the "EXERCISE PRICE"), all subject to
adjustment as provided in Article IV hereof.
ARTICLE II
WARRANT TERM
2.1 The warrants issued hereunder shall be exercisable as follows:
(a) from April 30, 2005 until 4:30 p.m. (Montreal time) on October 31,
2005 (the "1ST VESTING PERIOD"), 1,325,757 warrants may be exercised
by COM Canada;
2.
(b) from April 30, 2005 until 4:30 p.m. (Montreal time) on October 31,
2006 (the "2ND VESTING PERIOD"), 1,325,757 warrants may be exercised
by COM Canada; and
(c) from December 31, 2005 until 4:30 p.m. (Montreal time) on April 30,
2008 (the "3RD VESTING PERIOD"), 1,325,758 warrants may be exercised
by COM Canada.
(the 1st Vesting Period, the 2nd Vesting Period and the 3rd Vesting
Period being hereinafter collectively referred to as the "VESTING
PERIOD").
2.2 During the applicable Vesting Period, COM Canada may, from time to time in
minimum installments of at least 250,000 warrants per installment,
exercise up to the aggregate number of warrants that have vested during
such Vesting Period by giving notice in writing to Microcell in accordance
with Section 3.1 hereof.
2.3 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement (but in addition to
the provisions hereof at Article IV dealing with Fundamental
Transactions), in the event (i) a Fundamental Transaction occurs, or in
the event an offer to purchase the Class B Shares or any part thereof
shall be made to all holders of Class B Shares, or if a transaction or
series of transactions occur in which a person or group of persons (acting
jointly or otherwise in concert), and in either case other than COM
Canada, acquires beneficial ownership of more than 50% of the aggregate
voting power and more than 30% of the issued and outstanding equity
securities of Microcell, and (ii) COM Canada does not consent in writing
to such transaction, Microcell shall provide prompt written notice thereof
to COM Canada and COM Canada shall have the right to immediately exercise
all vested and unvested warrants (which, for greater certainty, shall not
include any warrants that had already lapsed pursuant to Section 2.4 or
otherwise of this Agreement) by giving written notice thereof to
Microcell; provided however that (A) any such notice of exercise shall
only become effective in the event that such transaction is then
consummated, and (B) in the event that such transaction is not
consummated, then such notice shall be deemed never to have been given and
the warrants shall continue in effect, unamended hereby.
2.4 At the expiry of each Vesting Period, the warrants that had vested during
such Vesting Period but that had not been exercised by COM Canada shall
lapse, have no value and shall no longer be exercisable.
ARTICLE III
EXERCISE OF WARRANTS
3.1 The warrants issued under this Agreement shall be exercisable (from time
to time and in accordance with the limits set out at Section 2.1 above) by
COM Canada giving written notice to Microcell, which notice shall specify
the number of warrants that are being exercised for the corresponding
number of Class B Shares (the "ACQUIRED SHARES").
3.2 Within 5 days of receipt of COM Canada's written notice of exercise,
Microcell shall, at its option, either:
3.
(a) provide written notice to COM Canada that it will deliver a share
certificate to, and registered in the name of, COM Canada,
representing, in the aggregate, the number of Acquired Shares (it
being understood that the time and location of such delivery will be
determined by Microcell and COM Canada in good faith, and that
simultaneous with the delivery of such share certificate, COM Canada
shall be obligated to pay (by cash or certified cheque) the
aggregate Exercise Price for the Acquired Shares to Microcell); or
(b) pay to COM Canada (by cash, wire transfer or certified cheque) an
amount equal to the remainder of (A) the aggregate Fair Market Value
of the Acquired Shares, less (B) the aggregate Exercise Price of the
Acquired Shares; or
(c) deliver to COM Canada a share certificate registered in the name of
COM Canada, representing the number of Class B Shares that have a
Fair Market Value equal to the remainder of (A) the aggregate Fair
Market Value of the Acquired Shares, less (B) the aggregate Exercise
Price of the Acquired Shares (it being understood that, for the
purposes of the foregoing, Microcell shall not be required to issue
fractional shares to COM Canada and instead may pay any balance owed
to COM Canada in cash).
provided that should COM Canada exercise that portion of the warrants that
are exercisable by it during the 3rd Vesting Period, COM Canada may in the
notice delivered to Microcell pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof, instruct
Microcell that the exercise of such portion of the warrants shall be
satisfied by COM Canada receiving from Microcell, at Microcell's option,
only the consideration that is set forth in Section 3.2(b) or 3.2(c).
For the purposes of the foregoing, "FAIR MARKET VALUE" shall mean the
simple average of the closing price of the Class B Shares on the Toronto
Stock Exchange, such simple average to be calculated on the basis of the
closing price of the Class B Shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange on each
of the trading days on which there was such a closing price during the ten
(10) day period ending on the day that precedes the day on which COM
Canada gives written notice of its exercise to Microcell.
3.3 COM Canada acknowledges that Microcell's election pursuant to Section 3.2
shall be made by Microcell in its sole discretion, and that the
fulfillment by Microcell of its obligations in accordance with such
election, will constitute full and satisfactory consideration to COM
Canada for the number of Acquired Shares in respect of which COM Canada
has exercised its warrants.
3.4 COM Canada acknowledges that the Class B Shares, if any, issued to it by
Microcell pursuant to this Agreement may be subject to resale restrictions
or a hold period under applicable securities laws and that it is the sole
responsibility of COM Canada to ensure that the resale, if any, of such
shares is completed in accordance with the requirements of applicable
securities laws. Each share certificate issued to COM Canada under this
Agreement may include a restrictive legend evidencing such resale
restriction and/or hold period that is, in the reasonable opinion of
counsel, required under applicable law.
4.
ARTICLE IV
ADJUSTMENTS
4.1 The number of warrants issued to COM Canada hereunder will be adjusted
from time to time in the events and in the manner provided in, and in
accordance with the provisions of this Article IV, and for such purposes
and as used in this Article IV, (A) "ADJUSTMENT PERIOD" means the period
commencing immediately after April 30, 2004 and ending at 4:30 p.m.
(Montreal time) on April 30, 2008 (or such earlier time as (i) this
Agreement has been terminated, or (ii) all of the warrants issued
hereunder have been exercised by COM Canada, or (iii) all of the warrants
issued hereunder have lapsed, been cancelled or have otherwise been
rendered null (the "EXPIRY TIME"), and (B) "SHARE NUMBER" means the number
of Class B Shares that are issuable upon the exercise of a warrant, which
number, subject to adjustment pursuant to this Article IV, will be one
Class B Share per warrant.
4.2 The Share Number in effect at any date will be subject to adjustment from
time to time as follows:
(a) If and whenever at any time during the Adjustment Period, Microcell
shall:
(i) subdivide or redivide the outstanding Class B Shares into a
greater number of Class B Shares; or
(ii) consolidate, combine or reduce the outstanding Class B Shares
into a lesser number of Class B Shares; or
(iii) issue Class B Shares to all or substantially all of the
holders of Class B Shares by way of a stock dividend or other
distribution,
then, in each such event, the Share Number will, on the effective
date of or the record date for such event, be adjusted by
multiplying the Share Number in effect immediately prior to such
date by a fraction.
(iv) the numerator of which shall be the total number of Class B
Shares outstanding on such date after giving effect to such
event; and
(v) the denominator of which shall be the total number of Class B
Shares outstanding on such date before giving effect to such
event.
Such adjustment will be made successively whenever any such event
shall occur. Any such issue of Class B Shares by way of a stock
dividend or other distribution shall be deemed to have been made on
the record date for such stock dividend or other distribution for
the purpose of calculating the number of outstanding Class B Shares
under paragraph 4.2(b) and paragraph 4.2(c).
(b) If and whenever, at any time during the Adjustment Period, Microcell
shall fix a record date for the issuance of rights, options or
warrants to all or substantially all of the holders of Class B
Shares entitling the holders thereof, within a period
5.
expiring not more than 50 days after the record date for such issue,
to subscribe for or purchase Class B Shares (or securities
convertible into or exchangeable for Class B Shares) (the "SHORT
TERM WARRANTS") and such Short Term Warrants are exercisable at a
price per share (or have a conversion or exchange price per share)
less than 95% of the "CURRENT MARKET PRICE" (and for the purposes
hereof, "CURRENT MARKET PRICE" shall mean the closing trading prices
per share of Class B Shares on any particular date (and if such date
is not a business day, the last business day before such date)) on
the earlier of the day that is three business days prior to the
record date and the date on which Microcell announces its intention
to make such issuance, then, in each such case, the Share Number
will be adjusted immediately after such record date by multiplying
the Share Number in effect on such record date by a fraction:
(i) the numerator of which shall be the total number of Class B
Shares outstanding on such record date plus the total number
of additional Class B Shares so offered for subscription or
purchase (or into or for which the convertible or exchangeable
securities so offered are convertible or exchangeable); and
(ii) the denominator of which shall be the aggregate of (A) the
number of Class B Shares outstanding on such record date and
(B) a number determined by dividing the aggregate subscription
or purchase price of the total number of additional Class B
Shares so offered for subscription or purchase (or the
aggregate conversion or exchange price of the convertible or
exchangeable securities so offered) by the Current Market
Price as of the applicable record date.
Any Class B Shares owned by or held for the account of Microcell or
any of its subsidiaries shall be deemed not to be outstanding for
the purpose of any such computation. Such adjustments will be made
successively whenever such a record date is fixed. To the extent
that any such rights, options or warrants are not so issued or any
such rights, options or warrants are not exercised prior to the
expiration thereof, the Share Number will then be readjusted to the
Share Number which would then be in effect if such record date had
not been fixed or to the Share Number which would then be in effect
based upon the number of Class B Shares (or securities convertible
into or exchangeable for Class B Shares) actually issued upon the
exercise of such rights, options or warrants, as the case may be.
(c) If and whenever at any time during the Adjustment Period, Microcell
shall fix a record date for the making of a distribution to all or
substantially all of the holders of Class B Shares of:
(i) shares of any class other than Class B Shares, whether of
Microcell or any other corporation;
(ii) rights, options or warrants other than Short Term Warrants;
6.
(iii) evidence of indebtedness; or
(iv) cash, securities or other property or assets;
then, in each such case, the Share Number will be adjusted
immediately after such record date by multiplying the Share Number
in effect on such record date by a fraction:
(v) the numerator of which shall be the total number of Class B
Shares outstanding on such record date multiplied by the
Current Market Price on such record date; and
(vi) the denominator of which shall be (A) the product of the
number of Class B Shares outstanding on such record date and
the Current Market Price on the earlier of such record date
and the date on which Microcell announces its intention to
make such distribution reduced by (B) the aggregate fair
market value (as determined by the directors in good faith and
acting reasonably at the time such distribution is authorized)
of such shares or rights, options or warrants or evidences of
indebtedness or cash, securities or other property or assets
to be so distributed.
Any Class B Shares owned by or held for the account of Microcell or
any of its subsidiaries shall be deemed not to be outstanding for
the purpose of any such computation. Such adjustments will be made
successively whenever such a record date is fixed. To the extent
that such distribution is not so made or to the extent that any such
rights, options or warrants so distributed are not exercised prior
to the expiration thereof, the Share Number will then be readjusted
to the Share Number which would then be in effect if such record
date had not been fixed or to the Share Number which would then be
in effect based upon such shares or rights, options or warrants or
evidences of indebtedness or cash, securities or other property or
assets actually distributed or based upon the number or amount of
securities or the property or assets actually issued or distributed
upon the exercise of such rights, options or warrants, as the case
may be.
(d) In the absence of a resolution of the directors of Microcell fixing
a record date for any event referred to in this Article IV,
Microcell shall be deemed to have fixed as the record date therefore
the earlier of the date on which holders of record of Class B Shares
are determined for the purpose of participating in such event and
the date on which such event becomes effective.
(e) If whenever at any time after the Effective Date and ending at the
Expiry Time, any of the events referred to in Section 4.2(a), (b) or
(c) occurs and if such event results in an adjustment to the Share
Number, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted contemporaneously with
each such adjustment of the Share Number (including, for greater
certainty, any readjustment of the Share Number if and to the extent
that a distribution or issuance of securities or exercise of rights,
warrants or options pursuant to Section 4.2(b) or (c) is not
completed) by multiplying the
7.
Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the occurrence of such
event by a fraction:
(i) the numerator of which shall be the number of Class B Shares
outstanding immediately before giving effect to such event;
and
(ii) the denominator of which shall be the number of Class B Shares
outstanding immediately after giving effect to such event;
provided that, in addition, in any such event contemplated by
Section 4.2(c) not involving the issuance of Class B Shares, the
Exercise Price shall be divided by the fraction contemplated in
subparagraphs (v) and (vi) therein, it being understood that
adjustments in the Share Number and in the Exercise Price in any
such event should not result in any duplication in their effects nor
in the increase of the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to
the relevant record date.
4.3
(a) If and whenever at any time during the Adjustment Period, there is
(i) any reclassification of the Class B Shares at any time
outstanding or any change of the Class B Shares into other shares,
securities or property of Microcell, or any other capital
reorganization of Microcell of similar effect (other than as
described in Section 4.2), (ii) any amalgamation, arrangement,
merger or other form of business combination of Microcell with or
into any other corporation resulting in any reclassification of the
outstanding Class B Shares or change of the Class B Shares into
other shares, securities or property of Microcell or such other
corporation, or (iii) any sale, lease, exchange or transfer of all
or substantially all of the undertaking or assets of Microcell and/
or the subsidiaries of Microcell to another corporation or entity
not wholly-owned by Microcell (each of the transactions contemplated
in (i), (ii) and (iii), hereinafter, a "FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTION"),
then, in each such event, COM Canada will be entitled to receive,
and shall accept, in lieu of the number of Class B Shares to which
COM Canada was theretofore entitled upon the exercise of warrants,
the kind and number or amount of shares or other securities or
property which COM Canada would have been entitled to receive as a
result of the Fundamental Transaction if, on the effective date
thereof, COM Canada had been the registered holder of the number of
Class B Shares to which COM Canada was theretofore entitled upon
such exercise.
(b) If and whenever at any time during the Adjustment Period, there is a
Fundamental Transaction which provides for holders of the
outstanding Class B Shares to receive consideration solely in the
form of cash, COM Canada shall be deemed (i) where such cash
consideration is, on a per Class B Share basis, in an amount greater
than the Exercise Price, to exercise its warrants in full (but
solely to the extent such warrants had not been previously exercised
and to the extent that such warrants then remained vestable and
exercisable) and COM Canada shall be entitled to receive, upon such
deemed exercise, the cash consideration it
8.
would have been entitled to receive had such exercise of the
warrants taken place immediately prior to such Fundamental
Transaction, less the Exercise Price thereof or (ii) where the cash
consideration is, on a per Class B Share basis, equal to or less
than the Exercise Price, to surrender its warrants, without payment
of any consideration. Following such deemed exercise, all warrants
shall be cancelled and shall be of no further value or effect.
If necessary as a result of any Fundamental Transaction, appropriate
adjustments will be made in the application of the provisions set
forth in this Article IV with respect to the rights and interests
thereafter of COM Canada to the end that the provisions set forth in
this Article IV will thereafter correspondingly be made applicable
as nearly as may reasonably be in relation to any shares or other
securities or property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of
the warrants. Any such adjustments will be made by and set forth in
an agreement supplemental hereto approved by Microcell and by COM
Canada (both parties acting reasonably) and shall for all purposes
be conclusively deemed to be an appropriate adjustment.
4.4 In any case in which this Article IV shall require that an adjustment
shall become effective immediately after a record date for or an effective
date of an event referred to herein, Microcell may defer, until the
occurrence and consummation of such event, issuing to COM Canada the
additional Class B Shares or other shares, securities or property issuable
upon such exercise by reason of the adjustment required by such event,
provided, however, that Microcell will deliver to COM Canada an
appropriate instrument evidencing COM Canada's right to receive such
additional Class B Shares or other shares, securities or property upon the
occurrence and consummation of such event and the right to receive any
dividend or other distribution in respect of such additional Class B
Shares or other shares, securities or property declared in favour of the
holders of record of Class B Shares or of such other shares, securities or
property on or after the date of the exercise of the warrants or such
later date as such holder would, but for the provisions of this
subsection, have become the holder of record of such additional Class B
Shares or of such other shares, securities or property pursuant hereto.
4.5 The adjustments provided for in this Article IV are cumulative, shall, in
the case of any adjustment to the Share Number, be computed to the nearest
one one-hundredth of a Class B Share and will apply (without duplication)
to successive subdivisions, consolidations, distributions, issuances or
other events resulting in any adjustment under the provisions of this
Article IV, provided that, notwithstanding any other provision of this
Article IV, no adjustment of the Share Number will be required (i) unless
such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in
the Share Number then in effect (provided, however, that any adjustment
which by reason of this subsection is not required to be made will be
carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment), (ii)
if, in respect of any event described in this Section (other than the
events referred to in Section 4.2(a)(i), Section 4.2(a)(ii) and Section
4.3), COM Canada is entitled to participate in such event, or is entitled
to participate within 45 days in a comparable event, on the same terms,
mutatis mutandis as if the warrants had been exercised prior to or on the
effective date of or record date for such event, (iii) in respect of any
Class B Shares issuable or issued pursuant to any stock
9.
option or stock purchase plan in force from time to time for directors,
officers or employees of Microcell or of any of its subsidiaries or
pursuant to the outstanding warrants of Microcell (which, for greater
certainty, shall not include the warrants issued to COM Canada hereunder),
(iv) in respect of any Class B Shares issued on the exercise of any other
stock options issued by Microcell and outstanding on the date hereof, or
(v) in respect of Class B Shares issued on the conversion into Class B
Shares of preferred shares in the capital of Microcell outstanding on the
date hereof.
4.6 In the event of any question arising with respect to the adjustments
provided for in this Article IV, such questions shall be conclusively
determined by Microcell's external auditors or, at COM Canada's request,
by such firm of chartered accountants as is appointed by Microcell and is
reasonably acceptable to COM Canada. Such accountants shall have access to
all necessary records of Microcell and such determination shall be binding
upon Microcell and COM Canada. If any such determination is made,
Microcell shall forthwith deliver a certificate to COM Canada describing
such determination.
4.7 If and whenever at any time during the Adjustment Period, Microcell shall
take any action affecting or relating to the Class B Shares, other than
any action described in this Article IV, which in the opinion of the board
of directors of Microcell, acting reasonably, would prejudicially affect
the rights of COM Canada, the Share Number and Exercise Price will be
adjusted by the board of directors of Microcell in such manner, if any,
and at such time, as the board of directors of Microcell may determine to
be equitable in the circumstances.
4.8 As a condition precedent to the taking of any action which would require
an adjustment pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Article IV,
Microcell will take any action which may, in the opinion of counsel to
Microcell, be necessary in order that Microcell, or any successor to
Microcell or successor to the undertaking or assets of Microcell, will be
obligated to and may validly and legally issue all of the Class B Shares
or other shares, securities or property which COM Canada would be entitled
to receive on the exercise of its warrants in accordance with the
provisions hereof.
4.9 As soon as possible after the effective date of or record date for any
event referred to in this Article IV that requires or might require an
adjustment in any of the rights under the warrants issued to COM Canada
hereunder, Microcell will give notice to COM Canada of the particulars of
such event and, to the extent determinable, any adjustment required. Such
notice need only set forth such particulars as have been determined at the
date such notice is given. If any adjustment for which such notice is
given is not then determinable, promptly after such adjustment is
determinable Microcell will file with COM Canada a certificate of
Microcell showing the computation of such adjustment.
4.10 After any adjustment pursuant to this Article IV, the term "CLASS B
SHARES" where used in this Agreement shall be interpreted to mean
securities of any class or classes which, as a result of such adjustment
and all prior adjustments pursuant to this Article IV, COM Canada is
entitled to receive upon the exercise of its warrants, and the number of
Class B Shares indicated in any exercise made pursuant to the warrants,
shall be interpreted to mean the number of securities and other property
and assets which, as a result of such
10.
adjustment and all prior adjustments pursuant to this Article IV, COM
Canada is entitled to receive upon the exercise of the warrants.
4.11 Any adjustments referred to in this Article IV are subject to confirmation
by the Toronto Stock Exchange and any issue of additional shares as a
result thereof shall be completed in accordance with all applicable
Toronto Stock Exchange rules and policies.
ARTICLE V
ASSIGNMENT AND ENCUMBRANCE
5.1 Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Microcell, the warrants issued
hereunder are personal to COM Canada and shall not be assignable or
transferable by COM Canada, whether voluntarily or by operation of law,
and whether directly or indirectly (including, for greater certainty, and
without limitation, by way of a monetization or similar transaction).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, COM Canada may, in a transfer that is made
pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of, or in a
transaction that is not subject to the Securities Act and any state
securities or "blue sky" laws, assign or transfer the warrants to an
affiliate (as the term affiliate is defined at Section 9 of the Securities
Act (Quebec)), provided that COM Canada shall give five (5) days prior
written notice of the assignment or transfer to Microcell and such written
notice shall contain a representation from COM Canada that the transferee
or assignee is an affiliate of COM Canada (as the term affiliate is
defined at Section 9 of the Securities Act (Quebec)), and provided that
such affiliate remains an affiliate at all times, failing which the
warrants shall lapse, have no value and shall no longer be exercisable,
unless such warrants are promptly transferred back to COM Canada.
5.2 The warrants issued hereunder shall not be pledged, hypothecated, charged
or otherwise encumbered by COM Canada. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
warrants may be pledged by COM Canada in order to guarantee its
obligations under a loan, credit or other bona fide financing agreement
that has been entered into with a recognized financial institution,
provided that such financial institution (and/or any of its affiliates) is
not and is not an affiliate of a telecommunications company operating in
Canada or the United States.
5.3 Notwithstanding Section 5.1 and Section 5.2 above beginning on December
31, 2005, that portion of the warrants that may be exercised by COM Canada
during the 2nd Vesting Period and the 3rd Vesting Period (as well as such
portion of the underlying Class B Shares) shall be assignable,
transferable, pledgeable, hypothecable and/or chargeable by COM Canada, so
long as at least 250,000 of such warrants (as well as such portion of the
underlying Class B Shares) are so assigned, transferred, pledged,
hypothecated or charged to or in favour of the same third party and so
long as such third party signs an undertaking satisfactory to Microcell
(acting reasonably) that such third party is bound by and will respect the
terms of this Agreement in respect of the warrants acquired by it and that
any such assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothec or charge is made pursuant
to an exemption from the registration requirements of, or in a transaction
not subject to, the Securities Act and any state securities or "blue sky"
laws.
