Permitted Lock-Up Agreement definition
Permitted Lock-Up Agreement means an agreement (the “Lock-up Agreement”) between a Person and one or more holders of Voting Shares (each holder referred to herein as a “Locked-up Person”), the terms of which are publicly disclosed and a copy of which is made available to the public, including the Corporation, pursuant to which such holders agree to deposit or tender Voting Shares to a Take-over Bid (the “Lock-up Bid”) made by the Person or any of such Person’s Affiliates or Associates or any other Person referred to in clause (iii) of the definition of Beneficial Owner, whether such Lock-up Bid is made before or after the Lock-up Agreement is signed, provided that:
(i) the Lock-up Agreement permits the Locked-up Person to terminate its agreement to deposit or tender to or to not withdraw Voting Shares from the Lock-up Bid in the event a “Superior Offer” is made to the Locked-up Person. For purposes of this subsection, a “Superior Offer” is any Take-over Bid, amalgamation, arrangement or similar transaction pursuant to which the cash equivalent value of the consideration per share to be received by holders of the Voting Shares under such transaction (the “Superior Offer Consideration”) is greater than the cash equivalent value per share to be received by holders of Voting Shares under the Lock-up Bid (the “Lock-up Bid Consideration”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lock-up Agreement may require that the Superior Offer Consideration must exceed the Lock-up Bid Consideration by a specified percentage before such termination rights take effect, provided such specified percentage is not greater than 7%. For greater clarity, the Lock-up Agreement may contain a right of first refusal or require a period of delay to give the Person who made the Lock-up Bid an opportunity to match a higher price in another Take-over Bid or transaction or similar limitation on the Locked-up Person’s right to withdraw Voting Shares from the agreement, so long as the limitation does not preclude the exercise by the Locked-up Person of the right to withdraw Voting Shares during the period of the other Take-over Bid or transaction; and
(ii) no “break-up” fees, “top-up” fees, penalties, expenses, or other amounts that exceed, in the aggregate, the greater of:
