CONSOLIDATION OF THE COMMON SHARES OF GLOBALIVE TECHNOLOGY
The Company received shareholder authorization at the Meeting to proceed to file articles of amendment to consolidate its common shares on the basis of 1 post-consolidation common share for every 20 pre-consolidation common shares. The proposed date for the consolidation is June 30, 2020, subject to amendment by the board of directors. If the date of the consolidation is changed, the Company will issue a press release advising of the newly proposed consolidation date.
Registered shareholders will have received letters of transmittal with their materials for the Meeting, which should now be completed and returned to the Company's transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company of Canada ("Computershare"), in accordance with the instructions set out in the letter in order to receive a revised share certificate or DRS advice for the consolidated shares. Registered shareholders who did not receive a letter of transmittal, or who have questions about the letter and the process for exchanging their shares, should contact Computershare by phone at 1-800-564-6253 or by email at [email protected].
Non-registered shareholders should contact their broker or agent for instructions on how to exchange their pre-consolidation shares for post-consolidation shares.
The Company currently has 139,571,688 common shares issued and outstanding and if the consolidation were to occur today, there would be 6,978,584 common shares issued and outstanding post-consolidation. The number of issued and outstanding common shares on the consolidation date may vary from these estimates, due to restricted share units granted by the Company that vested on June 8, 2020 and common shares that may be purchased for cancellation under the Company's ongoing normal course issuer bid program. Any fractional shares generated by the consolidation will be purchased for cancellation by the Company at the closing price for common shares of the Company on the day prior to the consolidation.
The consolidation remains subject to final approval by the TSX Venture Exchange and the board of directors of the Company reserves the ability to cancel or postpone the consolidation in its discretion. The name of the Company and the class of shares will not be changed as part of the consolidation.
