Immediately following the Acquisitions, the Fund held 64,766,591 Common Shares, representing 23.62% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, without giving effect to any conversion of any convertible securities of the Issuer, including the Convertible Debenture.
Assuming the conversion of the entire principal amount of the Convertible Debenture into Common Shares at a conversion price of CAD$8.88 per share, using the Bank of Canada August 29, 2022 exchange rate of one (1) United States Dollar to 1.3009 Canadian dollars, the Fund would receive 36,624,436 Common Shares upon conversion of the Convertible Debenture and would hold 101,391,027 Common Shares representing 36.97% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, on a partially diluted basis.
