Matters Approved at the Meeting
At the Meeting, CCA's shareholders passed resolutions to:
- set the number of directors of CCA for the ensuing year;
- elect each of the current directors of CCA to serve from the close of the Meeting until the earlier of: (i) the close of the next annual meeting of shareholders of CCA or until their successors are elected or appointed; and (ii) the effective time of the closing of the Proposed Transaction (the "Change of Board Time");
- elect Anthony Lacavera, Jason Theofilos and Kingsley Ward to serve as directors of CCA from the Change of Board Time until the close of the next annual meeting of shareholders of CCA or until their successors are elected or appointed;
- appoint RSM Canada LLP as auditors of CCA and authorize the board of directors of CCA to fix the auditor's remuneration;
- approve an omnibus equity incentive compensation plan (the "Omnibus Plan"), which will only become effective if the Proposed Transaction is completed;
- approve, ratify and confirm the consolidation of the outstanding common shares of CCA ("Common Shares") on the basis of one new Common Share for every 6.66 old Common Shares, which will only become effective if the Proposed Transaction is completed; and
- approve, ratify and confirm the change of CCA's name to "Globalive Technology Inc." (the "Resulting Issuer") or such other name as may be requested by GTP and approved by the board of directors of CCA and applicable regulatory authorities, to be effective contemporaneously with the completion of the Proposed Transaction.
GTP Vend-in Shares and Omnibus Plan
It was noted at the Meeting that while the management information circular relating to the Meeting stated that CCA will issue 25,920,494 Resulting Issuer common shares and GTP will pay $5,167,000 in cash to certain parties as a result of the acquisition by GTP of certain assets on the closing of the Proposed Transaction, the number of shares to be issued has been decreased by 6 million and the cash payment will no longer be made. As a result, there will be 6 million less Resulting Issuer shares outstanding upon completion of the Proposed Transaction, or approximately 137 million shares.
As a result of the reduction in the number of Resulting Issuer shares outstanding upon completion of the Proposed Transaction, the maximum number of shares issuable under the Omnibus Plan on the exercise or settlement of awards other than stock options was reduced by 600,000 shares and therefore shall not exceed 13,703,631 in the aggregate. The maximum number of shares issuable under the Omnibus Plan on the exercise of stock options remains at 10% of the outstanding common shares of CCA on a rolling basis.
GTP Financing
In connection with the Proposed Transaction, on April 5, 2018, GTP completed a $30,000,000 private placement of subscription receipts of GTP (the "Financing"). Further details regarding the Financing are provided in the press releases of CCA dated April 4, 2018 and March 14, 2018.

Investors are cautioned that, except as disclosed in the filing statement to be prepared in connection with the Proposed Transaction, any information released or received with respect to the Proposed Transaction may not be accurate or complete and should not be relied upon.
