5.1           Full Description of Material Change
 
On December 10, 2009, the Corporation announced that it had entered into an agreement with a syndicate of underwriters led by RBC Capital Markets to sell to the public, on a bought deal basis, $75.0 million principal amount of Debentures. Advantage also granted the underwriters an over-allotment option to purchase up to an additional $11.25 million of Debentures at the same offering price, exercisable in whole or in part up to 30 days following closing. If the over-allotment option is fully exercised, the total gross proceeds of the financing will be $86.25 million. Closing is expected to occur on or about December 31, 2009.
 
Advantage will use the net proceeds of this financing to repay outstanding bank indebtedness and for general corporate purposes.
 
The Debentures have a face value of $1,000 per Debenture, a coupon of 5.0%, a maturity date of January 30, 2015, and will be convertible into common shares at the option of the holder at a conversion price of $8.60 (the "Conversion Price") per common share ("Common Share"). The Debentures will pay interest semi-annually in arrears on January 31 and July 31 of each year, commencing on July 31, 2010. The Debentures will not be redeemable by the Corporation prior to January 31, 2013. On and after January 31, 2013 and prior to January 30, 2015, the Debentures may be redeemed by the Corporation in whole or in part from time to time at the option of the Corporation on not more than 60 days and not less than 40 days prior notice at a redemption price equal to their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, up to but excluding the date set for redemption, provided that the weighted average trading price of the Common Shares on the TSX for the 20 consecutive trading days ending five trading days prior to the date on which notice of redemption is provided is at least 125% of the Conversion Price. In the event that a holder of Debentures exercises their conversion right following a notice of redemption by the Corporation, such holder shall be entitled to receive accrued and unpaid interest, in addition to the applicable number of Common Shares to be received on conversion, for the period from the latest interest payment date to the date of conversion.
