Provided, however, if the Minister of National Revenue shall determine that the aggregate fair market value of the aggregate consideration for which such Class A Preference shares then outstanding were issued, is greater than or less than the fair market value as determined by the Board, then the Class A Preference Share Redemption Price is the fair market value as determined by the Minister of National Revenue or such other amount as may be finally determined by virtue of objections and/or appeals taken pursuant to the Income Tax Act (Canada) in the event that such objections and/or appeals are taken, divided by the number of Class A Preference shares then outstanding. In case a part only of the then outstanding Class A Preference shares is at any time to be redeemed, the shares so to be redeemed must be selected pro-rata disregarding fractions and the Board may make such adjustments as may be necessary to avoid the redemption of fractional parts of shares; provided that with the consent of the holders of all of the then outstanding Class A Preference shares, the Class A Preference shares to be redeemed may be selected in any other manner including without limitation the selection of all or any part of the Class A Preference shares of any particular holder or holders thereof.

  (Our Registry Number I Notre numero de registre: 10018421)

 

When you registered/incorporated your company with the Companies Office, we obtained a Business Number (BN) on your behalf. The BN is administered by Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). You may use this number whenever you need to contact us. Your BN is:

 

Business Number (BN) Account Identifier
752692889MC000I

 

The first nine digits of the BN are unique to either the registrants of your business name or to your corporation. It stays the same regardless of how many or what type of government accounts you add to it. The two letters in the Account Identifier represent the program area, in this case, Manitoba Companies Office. The last four digits identify the account number within that program area.

 

If you need to register for any accounts with Taxation Division, of the Department of Finance, Manitoba or CRA, please ensure that you provide them with your BN. When an account is opened it will have the same BN, but a different account identifier. Once registered, you will be able to use this number when dealing with these offices.

 

If you have any questions regarding this matter, please call us at (204) 945-2500 or toll free at 1-888-246-8353. You may also visit the One Business-One Number website at http://www.gov.mb.ca/jec/emb/bn/
