Each Chemesis Common Share in respect of which a Chemesis Shareholder has exercised Dissent Rights and for which the Chemesis Shareholder is ultimately entitled to be paid fair value (each a “Dissent Share”) shall be deemed to have been repurchased by Chemesis for cancellation in consideration for a debt-claim against Chemesis to be paid the fair value of such Dissent Share in accordance with Article 3 of this Plan of Arrangement, net of any applicable withholding tax, and such Dissent Share shall thereupon be cancelled.

 

 

(b)

(ii)

each Chemesis RS that is outstanding as at the Effective Date which has not vested or been cancelled will be deemed to be vested and, subject to applicable withholdings and other source deductions, all such Chemesis RSs will be and will be deemed to be redeemed by the respective holders in exchange for the issuance to each such holder of such number of Chemesis Common Shares and SpinCo Common Shares as such holder would have been entitled to receive had such Chemesis RSs been redeemed for Chemesis Common Shares immediately prior to the Effective Time.

  

(d)

provided that the exercise prices of each Replacement Chemesis Warrant and each Spinco Warrant issued pursuant to the step above shall be and be deemed to be automatically adjusted such that the aggregate In-the-Money Amounts thereof immediately after the steps above does not exceed the In the Money Amount of the exchanged Chemesis Warrant determined immediately before the exchange, with the intention that subsection 7(1.4) of the Tax Act will apply to each exchange.

   

(e)

Chemesis will distribute the Spinco Shares to the holders of Chemesis Common Shares (other than a Dissenting Shareholder) on the basis of one Spinco Share for each Chemesis Common Share, held as at the Effective Date, as a return of stated capital and reduction of paid-up capital for purposes of the Tax Act.
