Dr. Chan is the: (i) Chairman of ITC Corporation Limited (“ITC”), and (ii) Chairman and a non-executive director of Television Broadcasts Limited. Dr. Chan is the sole director of Galaxyway Investments Limited (“Galaxyway”) and Chinaview International Limited (“Chinaview”).

During the past five years, Dr. Chan has not been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) and was not subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws as a result of being a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction.

Item 3.          Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

The source of funds for the purchase of 229,962,089 ITC Shares (as defined in Item 4 below) was from personal funds of Dr. Chan.

Item 4.          Purpose of Transaction

The ITC Share Acquisition

On April 23, 2015, via Success Securities Limited, Dr. Chan acquired a total of 229,962,089 shares of ITC (the issued shares of ITC are hereinafter referred to as “ITC Shares”) for an aggregate consideration of HK$167,872,325 at HK$0.73 per ITC Share (the “ITC Share Acquisition”).

Upon completion of the ITC Share Acquisition, the aggregate direct and indirect shareholding in ITC held by Dr. Chan increased from approximately 38.2% to approximately 54.2% of the total issued share capital of ITC.

Dr. Chan intends that ITC will continue to operate its existing business, namely, an investment holding company that directly and indirectly holds strategic investments in a number of listed companies. The principal activities of ITC comprise investment holding, the provision of finance, property investment and treasury investment.

Except as described in Item 6 below, the Reporting Person does not have any plan or have under consideration any proposal which relates to, or would result in, any of the matters listed in Items 4(a) – (j) of Schedule 13D, inclusive.

Item 5.          Interest in Securities of the Issuer

The information set out in Item 2 above and Item 6 below is incorporated in this Item 5.

(a) – (b)

The securities of the Issuer to which this Schedule 13D relates are owned by Large Scale Investments Limited (“Large Scale”) and Great Intelligence Limited (“Great Intelligence”). This Schedule 13D is being filed as a result of a change in the aggregate direct and indirect ownership of ITC by the reporting person on this Statement, namely Dr. Chan Kwok Keung, Charles (“Dr. Chan” or the “Reporting Person”) from approximately 38.2% to approximately 54.2% on April 23, 2015. Large Scale and Great Intelligence are wholly-owned by ITC. The Reporting Person does not directly hold any Shares of the Issuer.

Large Scale owns (i) 5,355,547 Shares of the Issuer; and (ii) 120,629 warrants of the Issuer with each warrant entitling Large Scale to acquire 1 Share at CAD 2.78 (subject to adjustments) exercisable on or before April 2, 2016 in total representing approximately 15.3% of the issued and outstanding Shares of the Issuer (assuming the issuance of 120,629 Shares upon exercise of the warrants (“LS Warrant Shares”)).  The aforesaid 5,355,547 Shares and 120,629 LS Warrant Shares owned by Large Scale are hereinafter collectively referred as “LS Shares”.

Great Intelligence owns 2,001,645 Shares (“GI Shares”), representing approximately 5.6% of the issued and outstanding Shares of the Issuer.

ITC, a Bermuda company whose shares are listed on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited, owns 100% of the issued shares of Large Scale and Great Intelligence and may, pursuant to Rule 13d-3, be deemed to control the voting and disposition of the LS Shares and GI Shares.

Large Scale, Great Intelligence and ITC filed a Schedule 13G dated January 10, 2012, as amended on January 17, 2013 and January 27, 2015, with respect to the Shares of the Issuer.

The securities reported on this Schedule as beneficially owned by Dr. Chan are held by Large Scale and Great Intelligence.  For the reasons set out in (i) to (iv) below, Dr. Chan may be deemed pursuant to Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), to beneficially own and to share voting and dispositive power in respect of the above-mentioned 5,476,176 LS Shares held by Large Scale and the above-mentioned 2,001,645 GI Shares held by Great Intelligence :-

(i)        ITC owns all of the voting interest in Large Scale and Great Intelligence;

(ii)       Galaxyway owns 16.6% voting interest of ITC;

(iii)      Chinaview owns all of the voting interest in Galaxyway; and

(iv)      Dr. Chan owns all the voting interest in Chinaview and 37.6% voting interest of ITC.

The filing of this statement should not be construed as an admission that Dr. Chan is, for the purposes of Sections 13(d) or 13(g) of the Exchange Act, the beneficial owner of the Shares covered by this statement. The Reporting Person expressly disclaims any beneficial ownership of the Shares that are owned by Large Scale and Great Intelligence.

The calculation of percentage beneficial ownership set out above was derived from the corporate factsheet as made available on the Issuer’s web-site (http://www.burcon.ca/investors/corporate_factsheet.php) as of 1 May 2015 in which the Issuer stated that the number of its issued Shares was 35,697,013.  The Issuer’s most recent annual report filed with the Commission is the Annual Report of the Issuer for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014, which was filed on June 23, 2014.  In such annual report, the Issuer reported 31,624,693 outstanding Shares as of March 31, 2014.  However, the Reporting Person believes that this information is no longer accurate, following the completion of the Issuer’s (i) rights offering and related issue of 1,860,276 Shares on April 2, 2014, (ii) private placement and issue of 660,000 Shares on January 22, 2015, and (iii) rights offering and related issue of 1,552,044 Shares on April 30,2015. 

In addition, for the purposes of calculating the percentage of beneficial ownership by Dr. Chan of the Issuer’s Shares only, the issued and outstanding Shares of the Issuer are deemed to include the 120,629 LS Warrant Shares.

Item 6.          Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationship with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

The Rights Offering by the Issuer

On March 23, 2015, the Issuer announced that it would issue to the holders of record of the outstanding Shares of the Issuer as at the close of business (Toronto Time) on April 2, 2015 (the “Record Date”) an aggregate of 34,144,969 transferable rights (the “Rights”) to subscribe for 1,552,044 Shares in the capital of the Issuer (the “Rights Offering”).

Each registered holder of Shares as of the Record Date received one right for each Share held as of the Record Date. Every 22 Rights entitle the holder thereof to purchase one Share (the “Basic Subscription Privilege”) at a price of CAD 2.26 per Share (the “Subscription Price”). ITC’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Large Scale and Great Intelligence, exercised their Basic Subscription Privileges and applied for their respective pro rata amounts of 231,358 Shares and 86,470 Shares. In addition, Large Scale and Great Intelligence made additional subscriptions under the Rights Offering for 564,892 Shares and 211,130 Shares, respectively.

The Rights Offering was completed on April 30, 2015 in connection with which Large Scale and Great Intelligence received 265,667 Shares and 99,293 Shares, respectively.

In connection with the Rights Offering, ITC, E-concept Ltd. (“E-Concept”) and I-Global Ltd. (“I-Global”) entered into a standby commitment agreement (the “Standby Commitment Agreement”) with the Issuer on March 23, 2015. Pursuant to the Standby Commitment Agreement, ITC, E-Concept and I-Global agreed to purchase from the Company such number of Shares that are available to be purchased, but not otherwise subscribed for, that will result in 1,552,044 Shares being issued under the Rights Offering (the “Standby Commitment”). The Standby Commitment of each of ITC, E-Concept and I-Global is subject to a maximum of 793,715, 416,879 and 341,450 Shares, respectively. ITC, E-Concept and I-Global may therefore be obligated to purchase up to a maximum of 1,552,044 Shares in the aggregate, being the maximum number of Shares that may be issued pursuant to the Rights Offering. The Standby Commitment lapsed upon completion of the Rights Offering on April 30, 2015.

As compensation for the Standby Commitment, each of ITC, E-Concept and I-Global received non-transferrable Share purchase warrants (the “Standby Warrants”) entitling ITC to acquire up to 198,429 Shares, E-Concept to acquire up to 104,220 Shares and I-Global to acquire up to 85,362 Shares. The exercise price under the Standby Warrants is CAD 2.26 per Share. The Standby Warrants must be exercised on or before April 30, 2017.

The exercise of the Standby Warrants is conditional upon the receipt of the approval of the Issuer’s shareholders, which will be sought at the Issuer’s next annual meeting expected to be held around September 2015. Accordingly, ITC, E-Concept and I-Global will not be entitled to exercise the Standby Warrants until the Issuer obtains the aforesaid shareholders’ approval. If the Issuer fails to obtain such shareholders’ approval, the Issuer will, as compensation for the Standby Commitment, pay to each of ITC, E-Concept and I-Global a cash fee equal to CAD 35,876, CAD 18,843, and CAD 15,434, respectively.

Except for the arrangements described herein, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Person, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) between the Reporting Person and any other person with respect to any securities of the Issuer, including but not limited to, transfer or voting of any of the securities, finder’s fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies.

ARTICLE 3

STANDBY WARRANTS AND REGULATORY AND SHAREHOLDER APPROVALS

3.1 As consideration for the Standby Purchasers entering into this Agreement and performing their covenants hereunder, Burcon will issue to each Standby Purchaser on the Closing non-transferrable share purchase warrants (the "Standby Warrants") in the name of the respective Standby Purchaser or in such name as the Standby Purchaser may direct in writing before the Closing, pursuant to which the First Standby Purchaser will be entitled to subscribe for 198,429 Common Shares, the Second Standby Purchaser will be entitled to subscribe for 104,220 Common Shares, and the Third Standby Purchaser will be entitled to subscribe for 85,362 Common Shares, subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms thereof.

3.4 The obligations of the parties under this Agreement, including the obligation of Burcon to issue the Standby Warrants, are subject to the approval of applicable regulatory authorities, including without limitation the British Columbia Securities Commission ("BCSC") and the TSX. In addition, in accordance with the requirements of the TSX, the issuance of the Standby Warrants will be conditional upon the receipt of the following approvals of Shareholders, which will be sought at Burcon's next annual meeting expected to be held in September 2015 (the "Meeting"):

- 6 -

(a) as the Exercise Price is lower than the market price of the Common Shares, the issuance of the Standby Warrants to the Standby Purchasers must be approved by at least a simple majority of the votes cast by Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting, with the votes attached to Common Shares held by the Standby Purchasers and their respective affiliates and associates being excluded from such vote (the "Price Approval"); and

(b) since the First Standby Purchaser is an insider of Burcon, the issuance of the Standby Warrants to the First Standby Purchaser must be approved by at least a simple majority of the votes cast by Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting, with the votes attached to Common Shares held by the First Standby Purchaser and its affiliates and associates being excluded from such vote (the "Insider Approval").

3.5 The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the issuance and receipt of the Standby Warrants is a material inducement for the Standby Purchasers to enter into and perform their respective obligations under this Agreement. Accordingly:

(a) the First Standby Purchaser shall have no further obligations hereunder unless the approval of the issuance of the Standby Warrants to the First Standby Purchaser (conditional upon the receipt of the Price Approval and the Insider Approval) is obtained from the applicable regulatory authorities, including without limitation BCSC and the TSX, within 60 days of the reference date of this Agreement and in any event before the Closing; and

INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION

7.1 Burcon agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Standby Purchasers and their respective affiliates and their respective present and former directors, officers, employees, agents and controlling persons (each such person, an "Indemnified Party") to the extent fully permitted by law from and against any losses, claims, damages and liabilities, joint or several (collectively, the "Damages"), to which such Indemnified Party may become subject in connection with or otherwise relating to or arising from (i) any claims by a third party against an Indemnified Party in respect of the obligations of the Standby Purchasers under this Agreement or (ii) any inaccuracy in or breach or nonfulfillment of or noncompliance with any of the covenants or agreements or representations and warranties made by Burcon in this Agreement (collectively, the "Indemnifiable Events").

7.2 Burcon will reimburse each Indemnified Party for all reasonable fees and expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) (collectively, "Expenses") as incurred in connection with investigating, preparing, pursuing or defending any threatened or pending claim, action, proceeding or investigation (collectively, the "Proceedings") arising from an Indemnifiable Event, whether or not such Indemnified Party is a formal party to such Proceeding; provided, that Burcon will not be liable to any such Indemnified Party to the extent that any Damages are found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the Indemnified Party seeking indemnification hereunder.

- 12 -

7.3 If for any reason other than in accordance with this Agreement, the foregoing indemnity is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless in respect of an Indemnifiable Event, then Burcon will contribute to the amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of Damages (including all Expenses incurred) in respect of an Indemnifiable Event in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits to Burcon and/or the Shareholders on the one hand, and each Standby Purchaser and/or any other Indemnified Party on the other hand, in connection with the matters covered by this Agreement or, if the foregoing allocation is not permitted by applicable law, not only such relative benefits but also the relative faults of such parties as well as any relevant equitable considerations. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any alleged untrue statement or omission or any alleged conduct relates to information provided by Burcon or other conduct by Burcon (or its employees or other agents) on the one hand, or by the Standby Purchasers, on the other hand.

7.4 Burcon agrees not to enter into any waiver, release or settlement of any Proceeding (whether or not any Standby Purchaser or any other Indemnified Party is a formal party to such Proceeding) in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder without the prior written consent of the applicable Standby Purchaser (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld), unless such waiver, release or settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such Standby Purchaser and each Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such Proceeding and (ii) does not contain any factual or legal admission by or with respect to any Indemnified Party or any adverse statement with respect to the character, professionalism, expertise or reputation of any Indemnified Party or any action or inaction of any Indemnified Party.
