6. ACQUISITION OF KENNADY DIAMONDS INC.

On January 29, 2018, the Company announced a definitive arrangement agreement pursuant to which the Company would acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Kennady Diamonds Inc. (“Kennady”) by way of a court-approved plan of arrangement (the “Transaction”). Under the terms of the Transaction, Kennady shareholders would receive 0.975 of a Mountain Province common share for each Kennady common share. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2018, the Company obtained 3,000,000 Kennady shares, by way of a private placement. On April 9, 2018, approval of the Transaction was obtained from both Mountain Province and Kennady shareholders. On April 11, 2018, final approval of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice for the proposed transaction took place. On April 13, 2018, after all conditions precedent were satisfied, the Transaction was closed. Kennady shareholders received 49,737,307 shares of Mountain Province for 51,012,599 shares of Kennady. The transaction was valued based on the share price of the Company on April 13, 2018.

Until April 13, 2018, the 3,000,000 shares of Kennady obtained were held as equity securities.
