The Vendor, Foster Wilson, is a director of the Company. As a result, the entering into of the Purchase Agreement and certain of the transactions contemplated thereby are considered to be a “related party transaction” within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Related Party Transaction (“MI 61-101”). Entering into the Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby is however exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a), as neither the fair market value of the subject matter of the transactions, nor the fair market value of the consideration for those transactions, insofar as it involves interested parties, exceeds 25% of the Company's market capitalization as calculated in accordance with MI 61-101.
The terms of the Purchase Agreement were settled through arm’s length negotiations between the independent directors of the Company and the Vendor, with each separately represented by legal counsel. The entering into of the Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby was considered and unanimously recommended to the Company’s board of directors by the independent members of the Company’s board of directors, and, upon such recommendation, the board of directors unanimously approved the transaction with Foster Wilson declaring his interest and recusing himself from any deliberations or voting on the transactions.
The Company did not file a material change report 21 days in advance of implementing the transactions as the negotiations were only recently concluded.
