INFORMATION REQUIRED TO BE

DELIVERED TO OFFEREES OR PURCHASERS


Table of Contents

No securities regulatory authority has expressed an opinion about these securities and it is an offence to claim otherwise.

This short form prospectus has been filed under legislation in each of the provinces and territories of Canada that permits certain information about these securities to be determined after this prospectus has become final and that permits the omission from this prospectus of that information. The legislation requires the delivery to purchasers of a prospectus supplement containing the omitted information within a specified period of time after agreeing to purchase any of these securities (except where an exemption from such delivery requirement is available).

This prospectus constitutes a public offering of these securities only in those jurisdictions where they may be lawfully offered for sale and therein only by persons permitted to sell such securities.

Information has been incorporated by reference in this prospectus from documents filed with securities commissions or similar authorities in Canada. Copies of the documents incorporated herein by reference may be obtained on request without charge from the Corporate Secretary of South Bow Corporation at Suite 900 – 707 5 Street S.W., Calgary, Alberta, Canada T2P 1V8 (telephone 587-318-5410), and are also available electronically at www.sedarplus.ca.

Information contained herein is subject to completion or amendment. A registration statement relating to these securities has been filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. These securities may not be sold nor may offers to buy be accepted prior to the time the registration statement becomes effective. This prospectus shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state.

South Bow Corporation (“South Bow” or the “Corporation”) may offer and sell to the public from time to time: (i) common shares in the capital of the Corporation (“Common Shares”); (ii) first preferred shares, issuable in series, in the capital of the Corporation (“First Preferred Shares”); (iii) second preferred shares, issuable in series, in the capital of the Corporation (“Second Preferred Shares” and, together with the First Preferred Shares, the “Preferred Shares”); and (iv) subscription receipts of the Corporation (“Subscription Receipts” and, together with the Common Shares and the Preferred Shares, the “Securities”) in an aggregate initial offering price of up to U.S.$3,000,000,000 (or the equivalent thereof in other currencies, including Canadian dollars, based on the applicable exchange rate at the time of the issuance of such Securities) during the 25 month period that this short form base shelf prospectus, including any amendments hereto, remains valid.


Table of Contents

The specific terms of any offering of Securities will be set forth in the applicable shelf prospectus supplement in respect of such offering (a “Prospectus Supplement”) and may include, where applicable: (i) in the case of Common Shares, the number of shares offered and the offering price (or the manner of determination thereof if offered on a non-fixed price basis); (ii) in the case of Preferred Shares, the designation of the particular series of shares offered, the number of shares offered, the offering price (or the manner of determination thereof if offered on a non-fixed price basis), any voting rights, any rights to receive dividends, any terms of redemption, any conversion or exchange rights and any other specific terms; and (iii) in the case of Subscription Receipts, the offering price (or the manner of determination thereof if offered on a non-fixed price basis), the terms, conditions and procedures for the exchange of the Subscription Receipts for Common Shares and/or Preferred Shares, as the case may be, and any other specific terms. A Prospectus Supplement may include other terms pertaining to the Securities that are not prohibited by parameters set forth in this prospectus.

All shelf information permitted under applicable laws to be omitted from this prospectus will be contained in one or more Prospectus Supplements that will be delivered to purchasers together with this prospectus, except where an exemption from such delivery requirement is available. Each Prospectus Supplement will be deemed to be incorporated by reference into this prospectus as of the date of the Prospectus Supplement and only for the purposes of the offering of the Securities to which the Prospectus Supplement pertains.

The issued and outstanding Common Shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) and the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) under the symbol “SOBO”. On July 2, 2025, the last trading day on the TSX and NYSE before the date of this prospectus, the closing price of the Common Shares on the TSX and on the NYSE was C$35.58 and U.S.$26.17, respectively. There is no market through which the Preferred Shares or Subscription Receipts which may be offered under this prospectus may be sold and purchasers may not be able to resell any Preferred Shares or Subscription Receipts purchased under this prospectus. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the Preferred Shares and Subscription Receipts will not be listed on any securities or stock exchange. This may affect the pricing of the Preferred Shares and Subscription Receipts in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices, the liquidity of the Preferred Shares and Subscription Receipts and the extent of issuer regulation. See Risk Factors.

The Corporation may offer and sell the Securities: (i) to or through underwriters purchasing as principals; (ii) directly to one or more purchasers in accordance with applicable securities laws; or (iii) through agents. The Prospectus Supplement relating to a particular offering of Securities will identify each underwriter or agent, as the case may be, engaged by South Bow in connection with the offering and sale of such Securities, and will set forth the terms of the offering of such Securities, including the method of distribution of such Securities, the public offering price, the net proceeds to South Bow, any fees, discounts or other compensation payable to underwriters or agents, and any other material terms of the plan of distribution. Securities may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions at a fixed price or fixed prices, or at non-fixed prices. If offered on a non-fixed price basis, Securities may be offered at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or at prices to be negotiated with purchasers at the time of sale. The price at which Securities may be offered may vary from purchaser to purchaser during the period of distribution. If Securities are offered on a non-fixed price basis, the underwriters’ or agents’ compensation will be increased or decreased by the amount by which the aggregate price paid for Securities by the purchasers exceeds or is less than the gross proceeds paid by the underwriters or agents to South Bow. See “Plan of Distribution”.

Except as set out in a Prospectus Supplement relating to a particular offering of Securities, in connection with any offering of Securities, subject to applicable securities laws, the underwriters or agents may over-allot or effect transactions intended to stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the Securities offered at a level above that which otherwise might prevail on the open market. Such transactions may be commenced, interrupted or discontinued at any time. See “Plan of Distribution”.

Securities legislation in certain of the provinces and territories of Canada provides purchasers of securities with the right to withdraw from or rescind an agreement to purchase such securities. See “Statutory Rights of Withdrawal And Rescission”.

Unless otherwise indicated in a Prospectus Supplement relating to a particular offering of Securities, we intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of Securities to reduce or repay indebtedness, to, directly or indirectly, finance our long-term investment program, to fund working capital requirements and for other general corporate purposes. Specific information about the use of net proceeds from the sale of Securities under this prospectus will be set forth in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. We may invest funds which we do not immediately require and such investments may include short-term marketable investment grade securities. We may, from time to time, issue securities (including debt securities) other than pursuant to this prospectus.

DESCRIPTION OF THE SECURITIES

South Bow is authorized to issue: (i) an unlimited number of Common Shares; and (ii) First Preferred Shares and Second Preferred Shares in an amount not to exceed, in the aggregate, 20% of the aggregate number Common Shares then issued and outstanding. As at July 2, 2025, there were 208,220,631 Common Shares, no First Preferred Shares and no Second Preferred Shares issued and outstanding. No Subscription Receipts were issued and outstanding as at July 2, 2025.

The following descriptions of the Common Shares, First Preferred Shares, Second Preferred Shares and Subscription Receipts is a summary of certain of their material attributes and characteristics which does not purport to be complete. The terms and conditions set forth in this section will apply, as applicable, to Common Share, First Preferred Share, Second Preferred Share and Subscription Receipt issued under this prospectus, unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement.

Common Shares

The Common Shares entitle the holders thereof to one vote per share at all meetings of shareholders, except meetings at which only holders of another specified class of shares are entitled to vote, and, subject to the rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to the Preferred Shares, whether as a class or a series, and to any other class or series of shares of South Bow which rank prior to the Common Shares, entitle the holders thereof to receive: (i) dividends if, as and when declared by the board of directors of South Bow out of the assets of South Bow properly applicable to the payment of the dividends in such amount and payable at such times and at such place or places as the board of directors of South Bow may from time to time determine; and (ii) the remaining property of South Bow upon a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of South Bow.

The Corporation has a shareholder rights plan (the “Rights Plan”) that is designed to protect the rights of South Bow shareholders, ensure they are treated fairly and provide the board of directors of South Bow with adequate time to identify, develop and negotiate alternative value maximizing transactions if there is a take-over bid for South Bow. The Rights Plan creates a right attaching to each Common Share outstanding and to each Common Share subsequently issued. Each right becomes exercisable 10 trading days after a person has acquired (an “acquiring person”), or commences a take-over bid to acquire, 20% or more of the Common Shares, other than by an acquisition pursuant to a take-over bid permitted under the terms of the Rights Plan (a “permitted bid”). Prior to a flip-in event (as described below), each right permits registered holders to purchase from South Bow Common Shares at an exercise price equal to three times the market price of the Common Shares, subject to adjustments and anti-dilution provisions (the “exercise price”). The beneficial acquisition by any person of 20% or more of the Common Shares, other than by way of a permitted bid, is referred to as a “flip-in event”. Ten trading days after a flip-in event, each right will permit registered holders other than an acquiring person to receive, upon payment of the exercise price, the number of Common Shares with an aggregate market price equal to twice the exercise price. For further particulars, reference should be made to the Rights Plan, a copy of which may be obtained on request without charge from the Corporation at Suite 900 - 707 5 Street S.W., Calgary, Alberta, Canada T2P 1V8, Attention: Corporate Secretary, telephone number: 587-318-5410.

First Preferred Shares

Subject to certain limitations, the board of directors of South Bow may, from time to time, issue First Preferred Shares in one or more series and determine for any such series, its designation, number of shares (subject to the limit described below) and respective rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions. The First Preferred Shares, as a class, have, among others, provisions to the effect set forth below.

The First Preferred Shares of each series rank on a parity with the First Preferred Shares of every other series, and are entitled to preference over the Common Shares, the Second Preferred Shares and any other shares ranking junior to the First Preferred Shares with respect to the payment of dividends, the repayment of capital and the distribution of the assets of South Bow in the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of South Bow.

Except as provided by the Canada Business Corporations Act or as referred to below, the holders of the First Preferred Shares will not have any voting rights nor will they be entitled to receive notice of or to attend shareholders’ meetings. The holders of any particular series of First Preferred Shares will, if the directors of South Bow so determine prior to the issuance of such series, be entitled to such voting rights as may be determined by the directors of South Bow if South Bow fails to pay dividends on that series of First Preferred Shares for any period as may be so determined by the directors of South Bow.

The provisions attaching to the First Preferred Shares as a class may be modified, amended or varied only with the approval of the holders of the First Preferred Shares as a class. Any such approval to be given by the holders of the First Preferred Shares may be given by the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than 662/3% of the First Preferred Shares represented and voted at a meeting or adjourned meeting of such holders.

The aggregate number of First Preferred Shares and Second Preferred Shares outstanding may not exceed, in the aggregate, 20% of the aggregate number Common Shares then issued and outstanding.

Second Preferred Shares

The rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to the Second Preferred Shares are substantially similar to those attaching to the First Preferred Shares, except that the Second Preferred Shares rank junior to the First Preferred Shares with respect to the payment of dividends, repayment of capital and the distribution of the assets of South Bow in the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of South Bow.

Subscription Receipts

Subscription Receipts may be offered separately or together with Common Shares, First Preferred Shares and/or Second Preferred Shares. Subscription Receipts will be issued pursuant to a subscription receipt agreement that will be entered into at the time of issuance of such Subscription Receipts by the Corporation and one or more financial institutions or trust companies acting as subscription receipt agent. A copy of the subscription receipt agreement will be filed by or on behalf of the Corporation with the securities commission or similar regulatory authority in each of the provinces and territories of Canada and with the SEC after it has been entered into by the Corporation and will be available on the Corporation’s SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov.

A Subscription Receipt will entitle the holder thereof to receive Common Shares, First Preferred Shares and/or Second Preferred Shares, for no additional consideration, upon the completion or occurrence of a particular transaction or event (typically an acquisition of the assets or securities of another entity by South Bow or one or more of its subsidiaries). The proceeds from an offering of Subscription Receipts will be held in escrow by the subscription receipt agent pending completion or occurrence of the particular transaction or event or the termination time (being the time at which the escrow terminates regardless of whether the transaction or event

Table of Contents

has occurred). Holders of Subscription Receipts will receive Common Shares, First Preferred Shares and/or Second Preferred Shares upon the completion or occurrence of the particular transaction or event or, if the transaction or event does not occur by the termination time, a return of the subscription funds for their Subscription Receipts, together with any interest or other income earned thereon, as determined by the terms of the applicable subscription receipt agreement.

The specific terms of Subscription Receipts offered under this prospectus, and the extent to which the general terms set out in this section apply to those Subscription Receipts, will be described in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. This description will include, where applicable:

 

   

the number of Subscription Receipts offered;

 

   

the price at which the Subscription Receipts will be offered;

 

   

the terms, conditions and procedures for the exchange of the Subscription Receipts offered for Common Shares, First Preferred Shares and/or Second Preferred Shares;

 

   

the number of Common Shares, First Preferred Shares and/or Second Preferred Shares that may be exchanged upon exercise of each Subscription Receipt offered;

 

   

the designation and terms of any other Securities with which the Subscription Receipts will be offered, if any, and the number of Subscription Receipts that will be offered with each such Security;

 

   

the terms relating to the holding and release or return of the gross proceeds from the sale of the Subscription Receipts plus any interest earned thereon;

 

   

the material income tax consequences of owning, holding and disposing of the Subscription Receipts; and

 

   

any other material terms and conditions of the Subscription Receipts.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The Corporation may offer and sell the Securities: (i) to or through underwriters purchasing as principals; (ii) directly to one or more purchasers in accordance with applicable securities laws; or (iii) through agents. Securities may be offered and sold from time to time in one or more transactions at a fixed price or fixed prices, or at non-fixed prices. If offered on a non-fixed price basis, Securities may be offered at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or at prices to be negotiated with purchasers at the time of sale. The price at which Securities may be offered may vary from purchaser to purchaser during the period of distribution. If Securities are offered on a non-fixed price basis, the underwriters’ or agents’ compensation will be increased or decreased by the amount by which the aggregate price paid for Securities by the purchasers exceeds or is less than the gross proceeds paid by the underwriters or agents to South Bow.

The Prospectus Supplement relating to a particular offering of Securities will identify each underwriter or agent, as the case may be, engaged by South Bow in connection with the offering and sale of such Securities, and will set forth the terms of the offering of such Securities, including, where applicable:

 

   

the type of Securities being offered;

 

   

the offering price of such Securities (or the manner of determination thereof if offered on a non-fixed price basis);

 

   

the currency or currencies in which the Securities will be offered;

 

   

the net proceeds to the Corporation from such offering;

 

   

any underwriters’ or agents’ fees, commissions or other items constituting underwriters’ or agents’ compensation;

 

9


Table of Contents
   

the public offering price;

 

   

any concessions or discounts allowed or re-allowed or paid by any underwriters or agents to others; and

 

   

any other material terms of the plan of distribution.

Only underwriters or agents named in a Prospectus Supplement are deemed to be underwriters or agents, as the case may be, in connection with the Securities offered thereby. If underwriters purchase Securities as principals, the Securities will be acquired by the underwriters for their own account and may be resold from time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions, at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale, as described in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. The obligations of the underwriters to purchase those Securities will be subject to certain conditions precedent, and the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all of the Securities offered by the Prospectus Supplement if any of such Securities are purchased. Any public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid may be changed from time to time.

The Securities may also be sold directly by us in accordance with applicable securities laws at prices and upon terms agreed to by the purchaser and us or through agents designated by us from time to time. Any agent involved in the offering and sale of the Securities pursuant to a particular Prospectus Supplement will be named, and any commissions payable by us to that agent will be set forth, in such Prospectus Supplement. Unless otherwise indicated in the Prospectus Supplement, any agent would be acting on a best efforts basis for the period of its appointment.

In connection with the sale of the Securities, underwriters or agents may receive compensation from us in the form of commissions, concessions or discounts. Any such commissions may be paid out of our general funds or the proceeds of the sale of the Securities. Under agreements which may be entered into by us, underwriters and agents who participate in the distribution of Securities may be entitled to indemnification by us against certain liabilities, including liabilities under securities laws, or to contribution with respect to payments which such underwriters or agents may be required to make in respect thereof. Those underwriters and agents may be customers of, engage in transactions with, or perform services for, us in the ordinary course of business.

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, any offering of Preferred Shares or Subscription Receipts will be a new issue of securities with no established trading market. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the Preferred Shares or Subscription Receipts will not be listed on any securities or stock exchange.

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, in connection with any offering of Securities, subject to applicable securities laws, the underwriters or agents may over-allot or effect transactions intended to stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the Securities offered at a level above that which otherwise might prevail on the open market. Such transactions may be commenced, interrupted or discontinued at any time. Any underwriter or agent to or through whom Securities are sold by the Corporation may make a market in such Securities, but will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. No assurance can be given that a trading market in any of the Securities (other than Common Shares) will develop or as to the liquidity of the trading market, if any, for such Securities.

ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES

We are a corporation incorporated under and governed by the Canada Business Corporations Act. Some of our directors and officers, and some of the experts named in this prospectus, are residents of Canada or otherwise reside outside the U.S., and all or a substantial portion of their assets, and a substantial portion of the Corporation’s assets are located outside the U.S. We have appointed an agent for service of process in the U.S., but it may be difficult for holders of Securities who reside in the U.S. to effect service within the U.S. upon those

 

10


Table of Contents

directors, officers and experts who are not residents of the U.S. It may also be difficult for holders of Securities who reside in the U.S. to realize in the U.S. upon judgments of courts of the U.S. predicated upon the Corporation’s civil liability and the civil liability of the directors and officers of the Corporation and experts under U.S. federal securities laws.

We have been advised by our Canadian counsel, Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP, that a judgment of a U.S. court predicated solely upon civil liability under U.S. federal securities laws would likely be enforceable in Canada if the U.S. court in which the judgment was obtained has a basis for jurisdiction in the matter that would be recognized by a Canadian court for the same purposes. We have also been advised by Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP, however, that there is real doubt whether an action could be brought in Canada in the first instance on the basis of liability predicated solely upon U.S. federal securities laws.

We have filed with the SEC, concurrently with our registration statement on Form F-10, an appointment of agent for service of process on Form F-X. Under the Form F-X, we appointed South Bow Services Inc. as our agent for service of process in the U.S. in connection with any investigation or administrative proceeding conducted by the SEC, and any civil suit or action brought against or involving us in a U.S. court arising out of or related to or concerning an offering of Securities under this prospectus.

CERTAIN INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The applicable Prospectus Supplement may describe certain material Canadian federal income tax consequences to an investor who is a resident of Canada or who is a non-resident of Canada of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of any Securities offered thereunder, including whether the payment of dividends will be subject to Canadian non-resident withholding tax.

The applicable Prospectus Supplement may also describe certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of any Securities offered thereunder by an initial investor who is a U.S. person (within the meaning of the United States Internal Revenue Code).

RISK FACTORS

An investment in the Securities will be subject to various risks including those discussed below and those risks inherent in South Bow’s business. Prospective investors should consider carefully the risk factors contained in and incorporated by reference in this prospectus (including subsequently filed documents incorporated by reference) and those described in a Prospectus Supplement relating to a specific offering of Securities.

Discussions of certain risks affecting us in connection with our business are provided in our annual and interim disclosure documents filed with the securities commission or similar regulatory authority in each of the provinces and territories of Canada and with the SEC which are incorporated by reference in this prospectus. In particular, see “Risk Factors” in the South Bow AIF and the South Bow Annual MD&A.

There is no market through which the Securities (other than the Common Shares) may be sold.

There is currently no market through which any of the Securities, other than the Common Shares, may be sold and the purchasers of such Securities may not be able to resell such Securities purchased under this prospectus and any Prospectus Supplement. There can be no assurance that a secondary market will develop for any of the Preferred Shares or Subscription Receipts that may be issued under this prospectus or that any secondary market which does develop will continue. This may affect the pricing of such Securities in the secondary market, if any, the transparency and availability of trading prices, the liquidity of the Securities and the extent of regulation of such Securities.

 

11


Table of Contents

The public offering prices of the Securities may be determined by negotiation between the Corporation and the underwriters or agents, as applicable, based on several factors and may bear no relationship to the prices at which such Securities will trade in the public market subsequent to such offering. See “Plan of Distribution”.

Credit ratings may not reflect all risks associated with an investment in the Preferred Shares and may change.

Any credit rating assigned to the Preferred Shares may not reflect all risks associated with an investment in such Securities. Any credit rating assigned to the Preferred Shares is an assessment of the Corporation’s ability to pay its obligations. Consequently, real or anticipated changes in any such credit rating will generally affect the market value of the Preferred Shares. Any credit rating, however, may not reflect the potential impact of risks related to structure, market or other factors discussed herein on the value of the Preferred Shares. There is no assurance that any credit rating assigned to the Preferred Shares will remain in effect for any given period of time or that any rating will not be lowered or withdrawn entirely by the relevant rating agency.

LEGAL MATTERS

Certain matters relating to the issue and sale of the Securities will be passed upon on behalf of the Corporation by Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP, as to matters of Canadian law, and White  & Case LLP, as to matters of U.S. law.

EXPERTS

The South Bow Annual Financial Statements have been incorporated by reference in this prospectus and in the registration statement in reliance upon the report of KPMG LLP, independent registered public accounting firm, incorporated by reference in this prospectus and in the registration statement, and upon the authority of said firm as experts in accounting and auditing.

INTERESTS OF EXPERTS

As at the date of this prospectus, the partners and associates of Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP, as a group, and the partners and associates of White & Case LLP, as a group, beneficially own, directly or indirectly, less than 1% of any class of outstanding securities of the Corporation. In connection with the audit of the South Bow Annual Financial Statements, KPMG LLP confirmed that they are independent with respect to the Corporation within the meaning of the relevant rules and related interpretations prescribed by the relevant professional bodies in Canada and any applicable legislation or regulations and also that they are independent accountants with respect to the Corporation under all relevant U.S. professional and regulatory standards.

DOCUMENTS FILED AS PART OF THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

The following documents have been or will be filed with the SEC as part of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part: (i) the documents referred to under “Documents Incorporated by Reference”; (ii) the consent of KPMG LLP; (iii) the consent of Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP; (iv) the consent of White & Case LLP; and (v) powers of attorney from directors and officers of the Corporation.

STATUTORY RIGHTS OF WITHDRAWAL AND RESCISSION

Unless otherwise provided in a Prospectus Supplement, set forth below is a description of a purchaser’s statutory rights.

 

12


Table of Contents

Securities legislation in certain of the provinces and territories of Canada provides purchasers with the right to withdraw from an agreement to purchase securities. This right may be exercised within two business days after the later of: (i) the date that the issuer (a) filed the prospectus or any amendment on SEDAR+ and a receipt is issued and posted for the document, and (b) issued and filed a news release on SEDAR+ announcing that the document is accessible through SEDAR+; and (ii) the date that the purchaser or subscriber has entered into an agreement to purchase the securities or a contract to purchase or a subscription for the securities.

In several of the provinces and territories, the securities legislation further provides a purchaser with remedies for rescission or, in some jurisdictions, revision of the price or damages if the prospectus and any amendment thereto contains a misrepresentation or is not delivered to the purchaser, provided that the remedies for rescission, revisions of the price or damages are exercised by the purchaser within the time limit prescribed by the securities legislation of the purchaser’s province or territory. A purchaser should refer to any applicable provisions of the securities legislation of the purchaser’s province or territory for the particulars of these rights or consult with a legal advisor.

Original purchasers of convertible, exchangeable or exercisable Securities will have a contractual right of rescission against the Corporation in respect of the conversion, exchange or exercise transaction, in the event that this prospectus contains a misrepresentation, provided that both the conversion, exchange or exercise occurs, and the right of rescission is exercised, within 180 days of the date of the purchase of the convertible, exchangeable or exercisable Security under this prospectus. This contractual right of rescission will be consistent with the statutory right of rescission described under section 203 of the Securities Act (Alberta), and is in addition to any other right or remedy available to original purchasers under that section or otherwise at law.

In an offering of convertible, exchangeable or exercisable Securities, you are cautioned that the statutory right of action for damages for a misrepresentation contained in this prospectus is limited, in certain provincial and territorial securities legislation, to the price at which the convertible, exchangeable or exercisable Securities are offered to the public under the prospectus offering. This means that, under the securities legislation of certain provinces and territories, if the purchaser pays additional amounts upon conversion, exchange or exercise of the Security, those amounts may not be recoverable under the statutory right of action for damages that applies in those provinces and territories. The purchaser should refer to any applicable provisions of the securities legislation of the purchaser’s province or territory for the particulars of these rights or consult with a legal adviser.

Indemnification of Certain Persons

Under the Canada Business Corporations Act (the “CBCA”), a corporation may indemnify a present or former director or officer of such corporation or another individual who acts or acted at the corporation’s request as a director or officer, or an individual acting in a similar capacity, of another entity, against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by the individual in respect of any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other proceeding in which the individual is involved because of that association with the corporation or other entity, and the corporation may advance moneys to such individual for the costs, charges and expenses of any such proceeding. The corporation may not indemnify the individual, and any advance of moneys must be repaid by the individual, unless the individual acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the corporation, or, as the case may be, to the best interests of the other entity for which the individual acted as director or officer or in a similar capacity at the corporation’s request and, in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, the individual had reasonable grounds for believing that the individual’s conduct was lawful. Such indemnification and advances may be made in connection with a derivative action only with court approval. Such individual is entitled to indemnity from the corporation in respect of all costs, charges and expenses reasonably incurred by the individual in connection with the defense of a civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other proceeding to which the individual is subject by reason of being or having been a director or officer of the corporation or other entity as described above if the individual seeking indemnity was not judged by the court or other competent authority to have committed any fault or omitted to do anything that the individual ought to have done and if the individual fulfils the conditions set forth above.

In accordance with and subject to the CBCA, the Company’s by-laws provide that the Company shall indemnify a director or officer of the Company, a former director or officer of the Company or a person who acts or acted at the Company’s request as a director or officer of a body corporate of which the Company is or was a shareholder or creditor (or a person who undertakes or has undertaken any liability on behalf of the Company or at the Company’s request on behalf of any such body corporate), and such director or officer’s heirs and legal representatives, to the extent permitted by the CBCA, as set forth above, and without limit to the right of the Company to indemnify any person under the CBCA or otherwise, in connection with any civil, criminal or administrative action or proceeding to which such director or officer is made a party by reason of being or having been a director or officer, to the fullest extent permitted by the CBCA. Accordingly, the Company has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors and executive officers providing such individuals with rights to indemnification and expense advancement to the fullest extent permitted under law. The Company also maintains directors’ and officers’ liability insurance which insures the Company’s directors and officers and our subsidiaries against certain losses resulting from any wrongful act committed in their official capacities for which they become obligated to pay to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Company has been informed that, in the opinion of the Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is therefore unenforceable.
