Boralex: The Superior Court rejects O'Leary's Motion
MONTREAL, Nov. 1 /CNW Telbec/ - Boralex Inc. (Boralex or the "Corporation") announces that the motion to obtain a safe guard order sought by O'Leary Funds Management LP to block any action affecting its units of Boralex Power Income Fund (the "Fund") has been rejected.
Following the hearing that was held on October 19 and 20, the Honourable Justice Poirier rejected the arguments that were made by O'Leary Funds Management LP. Boralex is now able to complete its acquisition of the remaining units of the Fund by way of a business combination.
Boralex had previously acquired in the course of its takeover bid for the units of the Fund which expired on September 28, 2010, 73% of all of the Fund's units, inclusive of those which it held prior to making the bid.
