Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Selling Shareholders hereby covenant and agree to sell, assign and transfer to Tryx, and Tryx hereby covenants and agrees to purchase from the Selling Shareholders all of the Ignition Shares held by the Selling Shareholders.
2.2 Consideration. As consideration for the sale of the Ignition Shares by the Selling Shareholders, Tryx shall allot and issue the Tryx Shares to the Selling Shareholders in the amount set out opposite each Selling Shareholder’s name in Schedule 1 on the basis of 95 Tryx Shares for each one Ignition Share held by each Selling Shareholder. The Selling Shareholders acknowledge and agree that the Tryx Shares are being issued pursuant to a safe harbour from the prospectus and registration requirements of the United States Securities Act of 1933 (the “1933 Act”). The Selling Shareholders agree to abide by all applicable resale restrictions and hold periods imposed by all applicable securities legislation. All certificates representing the Tryx Shares issued on Closing will be endorsed with the following legend pursuant to the 1933 Act in order to reflect the fact that the Tryx Shares are restricted securities and will be issued to the Selling Shareholders pursuant to a safe harbor from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act:
4
“NONE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE 1933 ACT, OR ANY U.S. STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND, UNLESS SO REGISTERED, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN THE UNITED STATES (AS DEFINED HEREIN) OR TO U.S. PERSONS EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF REGULATION S UNDER THE 1933 ACT, PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE 1933 ACT, OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE 1933 ACT AND IN EACH CASE ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. IN ADDITION, HEDGING TRANSACTIONS INVOLVING THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE CONDUCTED UNLESS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE 1933 ACT. “UNITED STATES” AND “U.S. PERSON” ARE AS DEFINED BY REGULATION S UNDER THE 1933 ACT.”
Each Selling Shareholder is either an accredited investor, as defined by Regulation D under the 1933 Act, or if a Canadian, an Accredited Investor as defined by Canadian Securities Administrators’ Multilateral Instrument 45-103 or is a close personal friend or business associate of a director or senior officer of Tryx. Each Selling Shareholder agrees to fill in and execute Schedule 3, if a Canadian resident, or Schedule 9, if a US resident, and agrees that the representations set out in such schedule as executed by the Selling Shareholders are true and correct both at the date hereof and as of the Closing Date.
2.3 Share Exchange Procedure. On Closing, each Selling Shareholder will exchange his, her or its certificate representing the Ignition Shares by delivering such certificate to Tryx duly executed and endorsed in blank (or accompanied by duly executed stock powers duly endorsed in blank), in each case in proper form for transfer, with signatures guaranteed, and, if applicable, with all stock transfer and any other required documentary stamps affixed thereto and with appropriate instructions to allow the transfer agent to issue certificates for the Tryx Shares to the holder thereof together with a filled in and executed Schedule 3, for Canadian Selling Shareholders, and a Schedule 9, for US Selling Shareholders.
2.4 Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no certificate for fractional shares of the Tryx Shares will be issued in the Transaction. In lieu of any such fractional shares, if any of the Selling Shareholders would otherwise be entitled to receive a fraction of a share of the Tryx Shares upon surrender of certificates representing the Ignition Shares for exchange pursuant to this Agreement, the Selling Shareholders will be entitled to receive from Tryx a stock certificate representing the nearest whole number of Tryx Shares.
2.5 Closing Date. The Closing will take place, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on the Closing Date.
2.6 Restricted Shares. The Selling Shareholders acknowledge that the Tryx Shares issued pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement will have such hold periods as are required under applicable securities laws and as a result may not be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed, except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act, or pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the 1933 Act and in each case only in accordance with all applicable securities laws. Each Selling Shareholder agrees that he/she/it has sought and obtained independent legal advice as to the resale restrictions applicable in their jurisdiction of residence, and under US
5
securities laws generally. Tryx has not undertaken, and will have no obligation, to register any of the Tryx Shares under the 1933 Act; provided, however, that Tryx will assist the Selling Shareholders by providing at its cost legal opinions when the Selling Shareholders may resell their shares under Rule 144 promulgated pursuant to the 0000 Xxx.
2.7 Exemptions. The Selling Shareholders acknowledge that Tryx has advised such Selling Shareholders that Tryx is relying on an exemption from the prospectus and registration requirements of the Securities Acts (British Columbia and Alberta) (the “B.C. & Alberta Securities Acts”) to issue the Tryx Shares to each of the Selling Shareholders and, as a consequence, certain protections, rights and remedies provided by the B.C. & Alberta Securities Acts, including statutory rights of rescission or damages, will not be available to the Selling Shareholders.
2.8 Canadian Resale Restrictions. The Selling Shareholders acknowledge that Tryx is not a reporting issuer in any province or territory of Canada and accordingly, any applicable hold periods under the B.C. & Alberta Securities Acts or any other Canadian jurisdiction may never expire, and the Tryx Shares may be subject to resale restrictions for an indefinite period of time. Additionally, the Selling Shareholders acknowledge that resale of any of the Tryx Shares by the Selling Shareholders resident in Canada is restricted except pursuant to an exemption from applicable securities legislation.
