Item 3.
|
Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
|
|
The funds for the purchase of 8,977,654 of the Shares beneficially owned by Sprott Inc. prior to July 24, 2013 came from the working capital of Sprott Inc. No borrowed funds were used to purchase such Shares, other than any borrowed funds used for working capital purposes (including certain leverage arrangements) in the ordinary course of business.
All other Shares currently beneficially owned by Sprott Inc. were acquired from the Issuer upon the closing of the “Arrangement Agreement” (as described in Item 4 below) on July 24, 2013. No borrowed funds were used to acquire such Shares.
|
||
Item 4.
|
Purpose of Transaction.
|
|
Sprott Inc. purchased the Shares acquired prior to July 24, 2013 for investment purposes. All other Shares currently held by Sprott Inc. were acquired pursuant to an agreement with the Issuer (the “Arrangement Agreement”) to amalgamate the Issuer with a subsidiary of Sprott Inc. as described in further detail below.
On May 8, 2013, Sprott Inc. and the Issuer’s board of directors entered into the Arrangement Agreement, whereby Sprott Inc. would acquire all of the issued and outstanding Shares of the Issuer, and the Issuer’s shareholders would receive $0.15 in cash and 0.5 of a common share of Sprott Inc. To be effective, the Arrangement Agreement necessitated approval by a resolution passed by not less than two-thirds of the votes validly cast by shareholders at the Issuer’s Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders held on June 25, 2013 (the “Meeting”).
Prior to the Meeting, directors and officers of the Issuer and certain shareholders, holding in total approximately 39.5 million Shares representing 26.9% of the voting rights attached to the issued and outstanding Shares (on an undiluted basis) as of the record date for the Meeting, entered into voting and support agreements with the Sprott Inc. (each a “Support Agreement”), agreeing to support and vote in favor of the Arrangement Agreement. The signatories to the Support Agreements were Sprott Inc., Murray Sinclair, David Black, Brian Bayley, Murray John, Dale Peniuk, Stewart Robertson, Paul Dimitriadis, Peter Grosskopf, Narinder Nagra, Jim Grosdanis, Andrew Steuter, Arthur Richards Rule and Dundee Corporation (each listed as a “Reporting Person” herein). Donald Copeland, a Director of the Issuer, was also a signatory to a Support Agreement; however, he did not beneficially own any Shares as of May 8, 2013.
At the Meeting, the Arrangement Agreement was approved by a valid resolution passed by the Issuer’s shareholders. After subsequently obtaining judicial and regulatory approvals, the Arrangement Agreement formally became effective upon the July 24, 2013 closing date. As a result, Sprott Inc. currently beneficially owns 100% of the outstanding Shares, and accordingly, Murray Sinclair; David Black, Brian Bayley, Murray John, Dale Peniuk, Stewart Robertson, Paul Dimitriadis, Peter Grosskopf, Narinder Nagra, Jim Grosdanis, Andrew Steuter, Arthur Richards Rule, and Dundee Corporation each no longer beneficially own any of the outstanding Shares.
If permitted by law, the Issuer currently intends to de-list all Shares from the NYSE MKT and to suspend all reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. If such actions are taken, the Issuer will no longer be required to file periodic reports with the SEC or otherwise be subject to the United States federal securities laws, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, applicable to public companies, and Shareholders will no longer enjoy the rights or protections that the United States federal securities laws provide, including reporting obligations for directors, officers and principal securities holders of the Issuer. In addition, Shareholders will no longer benefit from the substantive disclosure requirements imposed under certain United States federal securities laws (and the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC thereunder).
Further information about the effects of Arrangement Agreement and the intentions of the Issuer is set forth in Exhibit (a)(1) to the Information Circular dated June 26, 2013 (the “Information Circular”) filed by the Issuer on Schedule 13E-3/A with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 28, 2013. A copy of the Arrangement Agreement is included as Appendix C to the Information Circular.
Except as set forth above, the Reporting Persons do not have any present plan or proposal which would relate to or result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a) - (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D except as set forth herein or such as would occur upon completion of any of the actions discussed above. The Reporting Persons reserve the right, at a later date, to effect one or more of such changes or transactions in the number of Shares they may be deemed to beneficially own.
