Item 3.    Source of Funds

Item 4.    Purpose Of The Transaction

 

As disclosed by the Company in its Form 6-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2008 (the “6-K”), the Company received a reorganization proposal on the date hereof which, if effected, would result in, among other things, the transfer of the Company’s real estate business to a new company which following completion of the reorganization would be owned approximately 80% by the existing Class A and Class B shareholders of the Company, 10% by a company controlled by the Stronach Trust (“Stronach Trust”) and 10% by Magna International Inc. (the “Transaction”). As part of such Transaction, each of the Company’s Class A Shares would be exchanged for US$15.50 in cash and certain securities of a new Canadian publicly-traded company (the “Transaction Consideration”).

 

In connection with the proposed reorganization, on March 31, 2008, certain of the Reporting Persons, as holders of the Company’s Class A Shares reported herein, entered into a Support Agreement (the “Support Agreement”) with 2167951 Ontario Inc., a new Ontario corporation formed for the purpose of participating in the Transaction and controlled indirectly by Stronach Trust. Pursuant to the Support Agreement and subject to the terms and conditions thereof, certain of the Reporting Persons agreed, among other things, (i) to vote (or cause to be voted) all Class A Shares of the Company owned or controlled by such persons in favor of the Transaction, (ii) except under certain circumstances, not to sell or otherwise transfer any of its Class A Shares or undertake certain actions that would prevent such persons from carrying out its obligations under the Support Agreement, and (iii) to execute and deliver a proxy to the Company in respect of a meeting of shareholders called to approve the Transaction as contemplated by the Support Agreement.

 

Pursuant to the Support Agreement and subject to the terms and conditions thereof, the Reporting Persons who are a party to the Support Agreement have the right to terminate their obligations under the Support Agreement under certain conditions, including but not limited to (i) the Company’s Board of Directors not calling a meeting of Company shareholders to approve the Transaction by May 30, 2008, (ii) the terms of the Transaction changing from those contained in the term sheet attached to the Support Agreement in a manner that is adverse to the Reporting Persons or any other shareholder that is a signatory to the Support Agreement in a material respect and (iii) such Reporting Persons, acting reasonably, determining that the definitive documents do not reflect the terms contemplated in the term sheet attached to the Support Agreement or are not customary for a transaction of this nature in a manner that is materially adverse to such Reporting Persons.

 

The Company has informed the Reporting Persons that the shareholders listed on Schedule A to the Support Agreement constitute all of the shareholders that, as of March 31, 2008, have executed either the Support Agreement or a support agreement with terms similar to those of the Support Agreement. The Reporting Persons do not intend to update this Schedule 13D to reflect that they have learned that other shareholder(s) will or will not execute the Support Agreement or a similar support agreement.

This summary of the Support Agreement is qualified in its entirety by the full terms and conditions of the Support Agreement attached as Exhibit 2 to this Schedule 13D, which exhibit is incorporated by reference herein.

 

Although no Reporting Person has any specific plan or proposal to acquire or dispose of Class A Shares, each Reporting Person at any time and from time to time may acquire additional Class A Shares or, subject to the terms of the Support Agreement, dispose of any or all of its Class A Shares depending upon an ongoing evaluation of the investment in the Class A Shares, prevailing market conditions, other investment opportunities, liquidity requirements of the Reporting Person and/or other investment considerations. No Reporting Person has made a determination regarding a maximum or minimum number of Class A Shares which it may hold at any point in time.

 

Also, the Reporting Persons may engage in communications with, without limitation, one or more shareholders of the Company, one or more officers of the Company, one or more members of the board of directors of the Company and/or one or more potential participants in the Transaction regarding the Company, including but not limited to its operations and the proposed Transaction.

 

Item 5.    Interest In Securities Of The Issuer

 

 

 

(a),(b)

 

The information set forth in Rows 7 through 13 of the cover page hereto for each Reporting Person is incorporated herein by reference for each such Reporting Person. The percentage amount set forth in Row 13 for all cover pages filed herewith is calculated based upon the Class A Shares outstanding as reported by the Company in its Form 40-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 28, 2008.

SCHEDULE 13D

SUPPORT AGREEMENT

 

FOR GOOD AND VALUABLE CONSIDERATION, the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged, the shareholders (the “Shareholders”) of MI Developments Inc. (the “Company”) listed in the attached Schedule A, and such other direct or indirect shareholders of the Company who may execute a counterpart of this Agreement, agree as follows with respect to a plan of arrangement (the “Transaction”) substantially on the terms and subject to the conditions set out in the attached Schedule B. For this purpose, each of the Shareholders further agrees as follows with respect to itself:

 

 

1.

2167951 Ontario Inc. (“Investco”) will propose the Transaction to the board of directors (the “Board”) of the Company and request that the Board take all action required to implement the Transaction as soon as reasonably practicable in accordance with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

 

 

2.

Each Shareholder agrees to vote (or cause to be voted) all Class A Subordinate Voting Shares and Class B Shares of the Company (the “Shares”) owned or controlled by that Shareholder in favour of the Transaction.

 

 

3.

Each Shareholder confirms that it owns or controls the class and number of Shares set out below its signature on the counterpart executed by it and has the authority to vote or direct the voting of such Shares as contemplated by this Agreement.

 

 

4.

For so long as this Agreement remains in effect, as to each Shareholder, each Shareholder shall not sell or otherwise transfer any Shares or take any other action that would prevent it from carrying out its obligations under this Agreement except that the Shareholder may sell or otherwise transfer all or part of the Shares to a person, corporation or entity that agrees to be bound by the terms hereof and executes a counterpart to this Agreement.

 

 

5.

Each Shareholder has the right to terminate its obligations under this Agreement by giving notice to the Company if:

 

12



 

 

(a)

the terms of the Transaction are changed from those set out in Schedule B in a manner that is adverse to that Shareholder or to all Shareholders in a material respect;

 

 

(b)

the Shareholder, acting reasonably, determines that the definitive documents do not reflect the terms contemplated in the Term Sheet or are not customary for a transaction of this nature in a manner that is materially adverse to the Shareholder;

 

 

(c)

the Board has not called a meeting of shareholders of the Company to approve the Transaction by May 30, 2008;

 

 

(d)

the meeting of shareholders of the Company to approve the Transaction has occurred;

 

 

(e)

less than 30% of all outstanding Class A Subordinate Voting Shares remain subject to this Agreement; or

 

 

(f)

the Transaction has not been completed by July 30, 2008.

 

Investco agrees to promptly notify each Shareholder if it becomes aware of the occurrence of any of the foregoing events except for the event referred to in (d) above.

 

 

6.

Each Shareholder confirms that it has been a long-time investor in the Company and has sufficient knowledge of and access to information concerning the Company and its Shares to decide to enter into this Agreement. Each Shareholder further confirms that any factors peculiar to that Shareholder, including non-financial factors, that were considered relevant by that Shareholder in assessing the terms of the Transaction did not have the effect of reducing the consideration that otherwise would have been considered acceptable by that Shareholder. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed as meaning or implying that the Shareholder possesses any undisclosed information relating to the Company.

 

 

7.

Each Shareholder agrees to execute and deliver a proxy to the Company in respect of the meeting of shareholders called to approved the Transaction as contemplated by this Agreement.

 

 

8.

This Agreement is an agreement between each Shareholder and Investco, and no Shareholder has an agreement with any other Shareholder and no Shareholder may enforce this Agreement against any other Shareholder. Only Investco may enforce this Agreement against a Shareholder. There are no third party beneficiaries of this Agreement. Each Shareholder confirms that in negotiating and executing this Agreement it did not intend and did not become a “group” (as defined in Rule 13d of the Securities Exchange Act) with any other Shareholder with respect to the matters contemplated herein. This Agreement may not be amended as to any Shareholder without its consent in writing.

 

This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and shall take effect upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement or a counterpart hereof by each of the Shareholders listed in Schedule A.

 

DATED the 30th day of March, 2008.
