Dear Tundra Shareholder:

On behalf of the Board of Directors (the “Directors”) of Tundra Semiconductor Corporation (“Tundra”), we would like to invite you to join us at the special meeting of shareholders of Tundra (the “Meeting”) that will be held on June 15, 2009, at 11:00 a.m. (Toronto time), at The Marshes Golf Club, 320 Terry Fox Drive, Ottawa (Kanata), Ontario, Canada, K2K 3L1.

At the meeting, you will be asked to consider and, if deemed advisable, approve an arrangement under the Canada Business Corporations Act, whereby 4440471 Canada Inc. (“Acquisition Sub”), a wholly-owned Canadian acquisition subsidiary of Integrated Device Technology, Inc. (“IDT”), will acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Tundra (“Tundra Shares”) for consideration of $6.25 in cash for each Tundra Share owned.

The Directors (other than Mr. Fred Shlapak, who is an interested Director and who did not participate in the decision), based in part on the unanimous recommendation of the special committee of Tundra comprised of independent Directors (the “Special Committee”), have determined unanimously that the arrangement is fair to the shareholders of Tundra and in the best interests of Tundra and recommend that shareholders vote FOR the arrangement.

In making their determinations, the Special Committee and the Directors considered, among other things, a fairness opinion delivered by Citigroup Global Markets Inc. to the Special Committee, to the effect that, as of April 25, 2009 and based upon and subject to the analyses, assumptions, qualifications and limitations set forth in the fairness opinion, the consideration to be received by holders of Tundra Shares under the arrangement was fair, from a financial point of view, to the holders of Tundra Shares. A copy of Citigroup’s fairness opinion is included as Appendix D to the Management Proxy Circular dated May 15, 2009 (the “Circular”) which accompanies this letter.

To become effective, the resolution approving the arrangement must be approved by at least 662/3% of the votes cast by holders of Tundra Shares present in person, or represented by proxy, and entitled to vote at the Meeting. The arrangement is also subject to certain usual and customary conditions and the approval of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice.

All of the Directors and executive officers of Tundra have entered into a voting support agreement with IDT and Acquisition Sub pursuant to which they have agreed to vote their Tundra Shares in favour of the arrangement.

The accompanying notice of special meeting of shareholders and Circular describe the arrangement and include certain other information (including the full text of the arrangement agreement relating to the arrangement and the fairness opinion) to assist you in considering how to vote on the arrangement. You are urged to read this information carefully and, if you require assistance, to consult your financial, legal, tax or other professional advisor. You may also obtain more information about Tundra at the SEDAR website maintained by the Canadian Securities Administrators at www.sedar.com and about IDT at the website maintained by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission at www.sec.gov.

Also included is a form of proxy (printed on white paper) to be used to vote on the arrangement and a Letter of Transmittal (printed on green paper) for Registered Shareholders. These documents will also be available at www.sedar.com.

Your vote is important regardless of how many Tundra Shares you own. We hope that you will be able to attend the Meeting or submit a proxy. If you are a registered holder, whether or not you plan to attend the Meeting in person, please vote by completing the enclosed form of proxy (printed on white paper) and returning it in the envelope provided for this purpose, or by following the procedures for either fax, telephone or internet voting provided in the accompanying form of proxy, before 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time), on June 11, 2009 (or the date that is two business days immediately preceding the date set for any adjournment or postponement of the Meeting).


Registered Shareholders of Tundra can submit their proxy to Tundra (i) by delivering the proxy to Computershare Investor Services Inc., Attention: Proxy Department, 100 University Avenue, 9th Floor, Toronto, Ontario M5J 2Y1; (ii) by fax to Tundra c/o Computershare Investor Services Inc. at 416-263-9524 or 1-866-249-7775 (toll free in North America); (iii) over the Internet by going to www.investorvote.com and following the instructions provided; or (iv) by telephone by calling toll free 1-866-732-VOTE (8683) or 312-588-4290 and following the instructions provided.

If, like most shareholders, you hold your Tundra Shares through a broker, investment dealer, bank, trust company or other intermediary, you should follow the instructions provided by your intermediary to ensure your vote is counted at the Meeting and you should arrange for your intermediary to complete the necessary transmittal documents to ensure that you receive cash for your Tundra Shares if the proposed arrangement is completed.

You will be asked at the Meeting to make important decisions. If you are in doubt as to how to make your decisions please contact your financial, legal or other professional advisor. If you have any questions or require more information with regard to the procedures for voting or completing your transmittal documentation, please contact Georgeson Shareholder Communications Canada Inc., Tundra’s proxy solicitation agent, toll-free, at 1-866-413-8829.

If the shareholders of Tundra approve the arrangement and all of the conditions to the arrangement are satisfied, or where permitted, waived, it is anticipated that the arrangement will be completed on or about June 29, 2009.

On behalf of the Directors, we would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the support you have shown as a shareholder of Tundra.

Yours very truly,

  1. to consider, pursuant to an interim order of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) dated May 15, 2009, as the same may be amended (the “Interim Order”), and, if deemed advisable, to pass, with or without variation, a special resolution (the “Arrangement Resolution”), the full text of which is attached to the accompanying management proxy circular (the “Circular”) as Appendix A, approving an arrangement (the “Arrangement”) under Section 192 of the Canada Business Corporations Act (the “CBCA”) involving, among other things, the acquisition by 4440471 Canada Inc., a wholly-owned Canadian acquisition subsidiary of Integrated Device Technology, Inc., of all of the issued and outstanding Tundra Shares, all as more fully set forth in the Circular; and

 

  2. to transact such other business as may properly be brought before the Meeting and any postponement(s) or adjournment(s) thereof.

The full text of the arrangement agreement entered into in respect of the Arrangement, the plan of arrangement implementing the Arrangement (the “Plan of Arrangement”) and the Interim Order are attached to the Circular as Appendix B, Appendix C and Appendix E, respectively.

The directors of Tundra (other than Mr. Shlapak, who is an interested Director and who did not participate in the decision) unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote FOR the Arrangement Resolution. Shareholders of record as of 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on May 15, 2009, the record date for the Meeting, are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Meeting or any postponement(s) or adjournment(s) thereof.

If you are a Registered Shareholder, whether or not you plan to attend the Meeting in person, please vote by completing the enclosed form of proxy and returning it in the envelope provided for this purpose, or by following the procedures for either fax, telephone or internet voting provided in the accompanying Circular, before 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time), on June 11, 2009 (or the date that is two business days immediately preceding the date set for any adjournment or postponement of the Meeting).

If you do not vote, or do not instruct your broker, investment dealer, bank, trust company or other intermediary how to vote, you will not be considered to be represented by proxy for the purpose of approving the Arrangement Resolution. The Tundra Shares represented by a properly executed proxy will be voted on any ballot that may be conducted at the Meeting in accordance with your instructions and, if you specify a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, your Tundra Shares will be voted accordingly. In the absence of instructions, your Tundra Shares will be voted FOR the Arrangement Resolution.

The Circular provides additional information relating to matters to be dealt with at the Meeting and is deemed to form part of this notice.

MANAGEMENT PROXY CIRCULAR

This Circular is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by and on behalf of the management of Tundra. The accompanying form of proxy is for use at the Meeting and at any adjournment(s) or postponement(s) of the Meeting and for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Meeting. A glossary of certain terms used in this Circular can be found on pages 71 to 79 of this Circular.

NOTICE TO SECURITYHOLDERS IN JURISDICTIONS OUTSIDE CANADA

NEITHER THE ARRANGEMENT NOR THE REPLACEMENT OPTIONS ISSUABLE IN CONNECTION WITH THE ARRANGEMENT HAVE BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SEC OR THE SECURITIES REGULATORY AUTHORITIES IN ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES. NOR HAS THE SEC OR THE SECURITIES REGULATORY AUTHORITY IN ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES PASSED UPON THE FAIRNESS OR MERITS OF THE ARRANGEMENT OR UPON THE ADEQUACY OR ACCURACY OF THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS CIRCULAR. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENCE.

THE SECURITIES TO BE ISSUED PURSUANT TO THE ARRANGEMENT HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY ANY SECURITIES AUTHORITY NOR HAS ANY SECURITIES AUTHORITY PASSED UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS CIRCULAR. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENCE.

The Replacement Options issued pursuant to the Arrangement have not been and will not be registered under the 1933 Act and are being issued to holders of Out-Of-The-Money Tundra Options, in reliance on the exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act set forth in Section 3(a)(10) of the 1933 Act on the basis of the approval of the Court as described under “Principal Legal Matters — United States Securities Laws Considerations” in this Circular, and available exemptions from the requirements of state securities laws.

Tundra and 4440471 Canada Inc. (“Acquisition Sub”) are corporations governed by the CBCA. The solicitation of proxies by Tundra hereunder is not subject to the proxy solicitation rules of the 1934 Act and the disclosure in this Circular differs from that of a company subject to the disclosure requirements of Section 14(a) of the 1934 Act.

Financial statements included or incorporated by reference in this Circular have been prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP, which differs from U.S. GAAP in certain material respects, and thus they may not be comparable to financial statements of U.S. companies. See “Reporting Currencies and Accounting Principles” in this Circular.

Tundra securityholders should be aware that the acquisition by Acquisition Sub of their Tundra Shares pursuant to the Arrangement may have tax consequences in both the United States and Canada. See “Certain Tax Considerations for Securityholders — Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations” and “Certain Tax Considerations for Securityholders — Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” in this Circular.

The enforcement by Tundra securityholders of civil liabilities under U.S. federal securities laws may be affected adversely by the fact that Tundra and Acquisition Sub are governed by the CBCA, and that some or all of their respective directors and executive officers and the experts named in this Circular are not residents of the United States and that all or a substantial portion of their respective assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult or impossible for U.S. Securityholders to effect service of process within the United States upon Tundra or Acquisition Sub, their respective executive officers or directors or the experts named herein, or to realize against them upon judgments of courts of the United States predicated upon civil liabilities under the federal securities laws of the United States or “blue sky” laws of any state within the United States. In addition, U.S. Securityholders should not assume that the courts of Canada: (a) would enforce judgments of United States courts obtained in actions against such persons predicated upon civil liabilities under the federal securities laws of the United States or “blue sky” laws of any state within the United States; or (b) would enforce, in original actions, liabilities against such persons predicated upon civil liabilities under the federal securities laws of the United States or “blue sky” laws of any state within the United States.

 

iii


THIS CIRCULAR DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN OFFER TO BUY, OR A SOLICITATION OF AN OFFER TO SELL, ANY SECURITIES, OR THE SOLICITATION OF A PROXY, BY ANY PERSON IN ANY JURISDICTION IN WHICH SUCH AN OFFER OR SOLICITATION IS NOT AUTHORIZED OR IN WHICH THE PERSON MAKING SUCH AN OFFER OR SOLICITATION IS NOT QUALIFIED TO DO SO OR TO ANY PERSON TO WHOM IT IS UNLAWFUL TO MAKE SUCH AN OFFER OR SOLICITATION. ANY RESPONSIBILITY OF TUNDRA OR IDT FOR ANY THIRD PARTY’S NON-COMPLIANCE WITH THE LAWS IN SUCH JURISDICTION IS EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMED.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Circular, including the information incorporated by reference in this Circular or included in Appendices to this Circular, contain “forward-looking statements” and “forward-looking information” under applicable Securities Laws (collectively, the “forward-looking statements”) relating, but not limited to, the expected timetable for completing the Arrangement, benefits and synergies of the Arrangement, future opportunities for the combined company and products and any other statements regarding Tundra’s expectations, intentions, plans and beliefs. Forward-looking statements can often be identified by forward-looking words such as “anticipate”, “believe”, “expect”, “goal”, “plan”, “intend”, “estimate”, “optimize”, “may”, “will” or similar words suggesting future outcomes or other expectations, intentions, plans, beliefs, objectives, assumptions or statements about future events or performance.

Tundra Shareholders are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve numerous assumptions, known and unknown risks and uncertainties, of both a general and specific nature, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by the forward-looking statements or contribute to the possibility that predictions, forecasts or projections will prove to be materially inaccurate. In evaluating these statements, Tundra Shareholders should specifically consider various factors, including the risks outlined under the headings “Information Concerning Tundra —Risk Factors Related to Tundra” and “Risk Factors Related to the Arrangement” in this Circular and those incorporated by reference herein, which risks may cause actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking statement.

Assumptions upon which forward-looking statements related to the Arrangement are based include, without limitation, (a) that the Tundra Shareholders will approve the Arrangement Resolution in the manner required by the Interim Order; (b) that the Court will approve the Arrangement; and (c) that all other conditions to the completion of the Arrangement will be satisfied or waived. Many of these assumptions are based on factors and events that are not within the control of Tundra and may not prove to be correct.

Factors that could cause actual results of Tundra to vary materially from results anticipated by such forward looking statements include, but are not limited to, the parties’ ability to consummate the Arrangement; the conditions to the completion of the Arrangement, including the receipt of shareholder approval and Court approval required for the Arrangement (which may not be obtained or may not be obtained on the terms expected or on the anticipated schedule); the parties’ ability to meet expectations regarding the timing, completion and accounting and tax treatment of the Arrangement; Tundra is subject to intense competition and increased competition is expected in the future; fluctuations in foreign currencies could result in transaction losses and increased expenses; the volatility of the international marketplace; and the other factors described in Tundra’s annual information form for its year ended April 30, 2008, and its recent annual and quarterly financial reports, all of which are available on the SEDAR website maintained by the Canadian Securities Administrators at www.sedar.com.

Certain of the forward-looking statements and other information contained in this Circular, including information incorporated in this Circular by reference or included in Appendices to this Circular, concerning Tundra and the semiconductor industry and Tundra’s general expectations concerning the semiconductor industry are based on estimates prepared by Tundra using data from publicly available industry sources as well as from market research and industry analysis, and on assumptions based on data and knowledge of this industry which Tundra believes to be reasonable. However, although generally indicative of relative market positions, market shares and performance characteristics, these data are inherently imprecise.

 

iv


Without limiting the generality of the other provisions of this cautionary statement, the Fairness Opinion attached as Appendix D to this Circular may contain or refer to forward-looking information and is subject to certain assumptions, limitations, risks and uncertainties as described herein and therein.

The reader is further cautioned that the preparation of financial statements in accordance with Canadian GAAP requires management to make certain judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, including the value of investments currently held by Tundra. These estimates may change, having either a negative or positive effect on net earnings, as further information becomes available, and as the economic environment and values of these investments change.

Tundra cautions that the list of forward-looking statements, risks and assumptions set forth or referred to above is not exhaustive. All forward-looking statements in this Circular, including the information incorporated by reference in this Circular or included in Appendices to this Circular, are qualified by these cautionary statements. Some of the risks, uncertainties and other factors which negatively affect the reliability of forward-looking statements are discussed in Tundra’s public filings with the Canadian Securities Administrators. These statements are made as of the date of this Circular and Tundra does not undertake to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except to the extent expressly required by Law. Tundra does not undertake any obligation to comment on analyses, expectations or statements made by third parties in respect of Tundra, its financial or operating results or its securities.

REPORTING CURRENCIES AND ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

Unless otherwise indicated, all references to “$” and “CDN$” in this Circular refer to Canadian dollars, and all references to “US$” in this Circular refer to U.S. dollars. The Tundra Financial Statements incorporated by reference in this Circular are reported in Canadian dollars and are prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP.

The following table sets forth (a) the noon rates of exchange for the Canadian dollar, expressed in Canadian dollars per U.S. dollar, in effect at the end of the periods indicated, (b) the average noon rates of exchange for such periods, and (c) the high and low noon rates of exchange during such periods, in each case based on the noon rates of exchange as quoted by the Bank of Canada.

vii


Q: How does the Consideration offered for Tundra Shares compare to the market price of the Tundra Shares before the Arrangement was announced?

 

A: The Consideration values Tundra at $6.25 per Tundra Share, a premium of 12.9% to Tundra’s 5-day volume weighted average price on the TSX ended April 24, 2009, the day before the IDT offer was submitted to Tundra, and a 108.3% premium to Tundra’s 5-day volume weighted average price on the TSX ended on March 18, 2009, the day before the announcement of Gennum’s initial offer.

A:

The Arrangement Resolution must be passed by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the votes cast at the Meeting by Tundra Shareholders present in person, or represented by proxy, and entitled to vote at the Meeting.

All of the Directors and executive officers of Tundra have committed to vote all of the Tundra Shares held by such Directors and executive officers in favour of the Arrangement Resolution pursuant to the Voting Support Agreement.

 

Q: What are the recommendations of the Special Committee and the Directors?

 

A: The Special Committee unanimously recommended that the Directors approve the Arrangement and recommend that Tundra Shareholders vote for the Arrangement Resolution. The Directors, acting on such unanimous recommendation, unanimously (other than Mr. Fred Shlapak, who is an interested Director and did not participate in the decision) have determined that the Consideration payable to Tundra Shareholders is fair and that the Arrangement is in the best interests of Tundra, and recommend that Tundra Shareholders vote FOR the Arrangement Resolution to approve the Arrangement.

 

Q: Why are the Special Committee and the Directors making this recommendation?

 

A: In reaching their conclusion that the Arrangement is fair to the Tundra Shareholders, and that the Arrangement is in the best interests of Tundra, the Special Committee considered and relied upon a number of factors, including those described under the heading “The Arrangement — Reasons for the Arrangement” in this Circular and the Directors relied upon a number of factors, including the recommendation of the Special Committee. See “The Arrangement — Recommendation of the Special Committee” and “The Arrangement — Recommendation of the Directors” in this Circular.

 

Q: In addition to the approval of Tundra Shareholders, are there any other approvals required for the Arrangement?

 

A: Yes, the Arrangement requires the approval of the Court. See “Principal Legal Matters — Court Approval of the Arrangement and Completion of the Arrangement” in this Circular.

 

Q: Do any Directors and executive officers of Tundra have any interests in the Arrangement that are different from, or in addition to, those of the Tundra Shareholders?

 

A: Certain Directors and executive officers of Tundra may have interests in the Arrangement that differ from those of Tundra Shareholders. See “The Arrangement — Interests of Directors, Executive Officers and Others in the Arrangement” in this Circular.

 

Q. How will Tundra Options and Tundra RSUs be treated under the Arrangement?

 

A:

At the Effective Time, Tundra will accelerate the vesting of each outstanding, unvested In-The-Money Tundra Option in accordance with the terms of the applicable Tundra Stock Option Plan. Immediately following the acceleration, each unexercised In-The-Money Tundra Option, without any further action on behalf of any holder of such In-The-Money Tundra Option and without any payment except as provided in the Plan of Arrangement, will be transferred by the holder thereof to Tundra in consideration for the appropriate cash payment determined in accordance with the Plan of Arrangement, less applicable

 

viii


 

withholdings. Each unexercised In-The-Money Tundra Option issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will thereafter be immediately cancelled.

At the time specified in the Plan of Arrangement, without any further action on behalf of any holder of a Tundra RSU and without any payment except as provided in the Plan of Arrangement, Tundra will accelerate the vesting of each outstanding, unvested Tundra RSU in accordance with the terms of the Tundra Restricted Share Unit Plan and Tundra will deliver to each holder of a Tundra RSU outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time an amount equal to the appropriate cash payment determined in accordance with the Plan of Arrangement in settlement of each such Tundra RSU, less applicable withholdings. Each Tundra RSU issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will thereafter be immediately cancelled.

At the time specified in the Plan of Arrangement, each Out-Of-The-Money Tundra Option, whether vested or not, without any further action on behalf of the holder of the Out-Of-The-Money Tundra Option, will be exchanged for an option to acquire an appropriate number of IDT Shares determined in accordance with the Plan of Arrangement.

 

Q: Will the Tundra Shares continue to be listed on the TSX after the Arrangement?

 

A: No. The Tundra Shares will all be owned by Acquisition Sub and trading in Tundra Shares will cease shortly after completion of the Arrangement.

 

Q: Should I send my Tundra Share certificates now?

 

A: You are not required to send your certificates representing Tundra Shares to validly cast your vote in respect of the Arrangement Resolution. However, each Registered Shareholder must complete, sign, date and return the enclosed Letter of Transmittal (printed on green paper), together with your Tundra Share certificate(s), to the Depositary by June 11, 2009 in order to receive the Consideration for such Tundra Shares. See “The Arrangement — Arrangement Mechanics” in this Circular for more information.

 

Q: When can I expect to receive the Consideration for my Tundra Shares?

 

A: In the case of a Registered Shareholder, as soon as possible after the Effective Date, assuming due delivery of the required documentation, including the applicable Tundra Share certificate(s) and a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal, the Depositary will forward a cheque (or other form of immediately available funds) representing the amount of cash such Registered Shareholder is entitled to receive under the Arrangement, less any amounts withheld, by first class mail, postage prepaid, to the address of such Registered Shareholder as shown on the register maintained by the Transfer Agent or as directed in the Letter of Transmittal, unless such Registered Shareholder indicates in the Letter of Transmittal that it wishes to pick up the cheque. Under no circumstances will interest accrue or be paid by Tundra, IDT, Acquisition Sub or the Depositary to persons depositing Tundra Shares pursuant to the Arrangement regardless of any delay in making such payment.

 

Q: How will the votes be counted?

 

A: The Transfer Agent counts and tabulates the proxies. Proxies are counted and tabulated by the Transfer Agent in such a manner as to preserve the confidentiality of the voting instructions of Registered Shareholders subject to a limited number of exceptions.

 

Q: Are there risks I should consider in deciding whether to vote for the Arrangement Resolution?

 

A: Yes. Some of these risks include the following:

 

   

There can be no certainty that all conditions precedent to the Arrangement will be satisfied or waived, or as to the timing of their satisfaction or waiver. Failure to complete the Arrangement could negatively impact the market price of the Tundra Shares.

 

ix


   

The Arrangement Agreement may be terminated by Tundra or Acquisition Sub, in certain circumstances.

 

   

The Termination Fee provided under the Arrangement Agreement may discourage other parties from attempting to acquire Tundra.

 

   

Tundra believes that it is likely that it will be classified as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes for its taxable year ending April 30, 2009 and may be a PFIC for its taxable year that includes the Effective Date. Additionally, there can be no assurance that Tundra has not been classified as a PFIC in prior years. If Tundra has been classified as a PFIC for any taxable year during a U.S. Holder’s holding period of Tundra Shares, a U.S. Holder may be subject to adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences in connection with a disposition of Tundra Shares, including a disposition of Tundra Shares pursuant to the Arrangement. See “Certain Tax Considerations for Securityholders — Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” in this Circular. You should consult your own tax advisor regarding the potential application of the PFIC rules, which are extremely complex.

See “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Statements”, “Information Concerning Tundra —Risk Factors Related to Tundra” and “Risk Factors Related to the Arrangement” in this Circular.

 

Q: What are the Canadian income tax consequences of the Arrangement?

 

A: If you are a resident of Canada for purposes of the Tax Act and dispose of Tundra Shares, you will generally realize a capital gain (or capital loss) in an amount equal to the amount by which the cash received by you under the Arrangement exceeds (or is less than) the adjusted cost base to you of the Tundra Shares disposed of and any reasonable costs of disposition.

If you are not resident in Canada for purposes of the Tax Act, you will generally not be subject to tax under the Tax Act on any capital gain realized on a disposition of Tundra Shares unless the Tundra Shares are “taxable Canadian property” (as defined by the Tax Act) to you and the gain is not otherwise exempt from tax under the Tax Act pursuant to the provisions of an applicable income tax treaty.

You should review the detailed discussion of the material Canadian federal income tax considerations generally applicable to Tundra Shareholders in connection with the Arrangement under the headings “Certain Tax Considerations for Securityholders — Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations”. Your tax consequences will depend on your particular situation. You should consult your own tax advisor for a full understanding of the applicable federal, provincial, territorial, state, local, foreign and other tax consequences to you resulting from the Arrangement.

 

Q: What are the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Arrangement to a U.S. Holder?

 

A: The exchange of Tundra Shares for cash pursuant to the Arrangement will constitute a taxable transaction to U.S. Holders for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, if you are a U.S. Holder of Tundra Shares, you will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference, if any, between (a) the U.S. dollar value of the Canadian currency received pursuant to the Arrangement, and (b) your adjusted tax basis, as determined in U.S. dollars, in the Tundra Shares surrendered pursuant to the Arrangement. Due to the likelihood of Tundra’s classification as a “passive foreign investment company,” or PFIC, for certain taxable years, the gain recognized may be subject to adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences.

You should review the detailed discussion of certain U.S. federal income tax considerations generally applicable to U.S. Holders in connection with the Arrangement under the headings “Certain Tax Considerations for Securityholders — Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations”. Your tax consequences will depend on your particular situation. You should consult your own tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax consequences of the Arrangement, including the potential application of the PFIC rules, which are extremely complex.

Q: Am I entitled to Dissent Rights?

 

A: The Plan of Arrangement, the Interim Order and the Final Order will provide Registered Shareholders with dissent rights in connection with the Arrangement that will be available in the event that the Arrangement Resolution is approved by the Tundra Shareholders and the Arrangement is effected. Registered Shareholders considering exercising Dissent Rights should seek the advice of their own legal counsel and tax and investment advisors and should carefully review the description of such rights set forth in the Circular, as well as in the Plan of Arrangement, the Interim Order and the Final Order, and comply strictly with the provisions of Section 190 of the CBCA, the full text of which is set out in Appendix G to this Circular, as modified by the Plan of Arrangement, the Interim Order and the Final Order. See “Dissenting Registered Shareholders’ Rights” in the Circular.

Beneficial owners of Tundra Shares registered in the name of a broker, investment dealer, bank, trust company, trustee or other Intermediary who wish to dissent should be aware that only Registered Shareholders are entitled to dissent and, accordingly, they should contact such Intermediary to exercise Dissent Rights.

 

Q: What will happen to the Tundra Shares that I currently own after completion of the Arrangement?

 

A: Upon completion of the Arrangement, a certificate representing Tundra Shares will represent only the right of a Tundra Shareholder to receive $6.25 in cash, less applicable withholdings, for each Tundra Share held by such Registered Shareholder until the sixth anniversary of the Effective Date. Trading in Tundra Shares on the TSX will cease shortly after completion of the Arrangement and IDT will seek to have Tundra be deemed to have ceased to be a reporting issuer under Canadian Securities Laws and cease to be required to file reports with the applicable Canadian Securities Administrators.

Under the Plan of Arrangement, any certificate which immediately before the Effective Time represented Tundra Shares and which has not been surrendered, together with all other documents required by the Depositary, on or before the sixth anniversary of the Effective Date, will cease to represent any claim by or interest of any Former Tundra Shareholder of any kind or nature against or in Tundra, IDT or Acquisition Sub. Accordingly, persons who deposit certificates for Tundra Shares after the sixth anniversary of the Effective Date will not receive cash and will not own any interest in Tundra, IDT or Acquisition Sub.

 

Q: Who can I contact if I have questions?

 

A: Tundra Shareholders who have additional questions about the Arrangement, including the procedures for voting, should contact Georgeson Shareholder Communications Canada Inc., Tundra’s proxy solicitation agent, toll-free, at 1-866-413-8829. Tundra Shareholders who have questions about deciding how to vote should contact their financial, legal or professional advisors.

Purpose of the Meeting

At the Meeting, Tundra Shareholders will be asked to vote on the Arrangement Resolution as required by the Interim Order, in the form attached as Appendix A to this Circular.

Voting Procedures and Revocation of Proxies for Tundra Shareholders

The procedures by which Tundra Shareholders may exercise their rights to vote with respect to matters at the Meeting will vary depending on whether Tundra Shareholders are Registered Shareholders or Non-Registered Shareholders.

Registered Shareholders

In order to vote with respect to matters being considered at the Meeting, Registered Shareholders must either:

 

   

attend the Meeting in person;

 

   

complete, sign, date and return the enclosed form of proxy (printed on white paper), or such other proper form of proxy prepared for use at the Meeting which is acceptable to the Transfer Agent and Tundra; or

 

   

otherwise communicate their voting instructions in accordance with the instructions set out in the enclosed form of proxy or through the use of another acceptable and proper form of proxy.

If you are a Registered Shareholder, you should carefully review the information set forth under “Information Concerning Voting at the Meeting — Registered Shareholders” in this Circular.

Non-Registered Shareholders

A substantial number of Tundra Shareholders do not hold Tundra Shares in their own names. Tundra Shares may be beneficially owned by a person but registered either:

 

   

in the name of an Intermediary; or

 

   

in the name of a clearing agency (such as CDS, Depository Trust Company or similar entities) of which the Intermediary is a participant.

If Tundra Shares are shown in an account statement provided to a Non-Registered Shareholder by an Intermediary, then in almost all cases the name of such Non-Registered Shareholder will not appear in the share register of Tundra. Please note that only proxies received from Registered Shareholders can be recognized and acted upon at the Meeting. If you are a Non-Registered Shareholder, you should carefully review the information set forth under “Information Concerning Voting at the Meeting — Non-Registered Shareholders” in this Circular.

Voting Generally

The Tundra Shares represented by a properly executed proxy will be voted on any ballot that may be called for at the Meeting in accordance with the instructions of the Registered Shareholder and if the Registered Shareholder specifies a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, the Tundra Shares will be voted accordingly. In the absence of instructions, such Tundra Shares will be voted FOR the Arrangement Resolution. To be used at the Meeting, proxies must be received by Computershare Investor Services, before 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time), on June 11, 2009 (or the date that is two business days immediately preceding the date set for any adjournment or postponement of the Meeting). Registered Shareholders of Tundra can submit their proxy to Tundra (i) by delivering the proxy to Computershare Investor Services Inc., Attention: Proxy Department, 100 University Avenue, 9th Floor, Toronto, Ontario M5J 2Y1; (ii) by fax to Tundra c/o Computershare Investor Services Inc. at 416-263-9524 or 1-866-249-7775 (toll free in North America); (iii) over the Internet by going to www.investorvote.com and following the instructions provided; or (iv) by telephone by calling toll free 1-866-732-VOTE (8683) or 312-588-4290 and following the instructions provided.

If you do not vote or do not instruct your broker, investment dealer, bank, trust company or other Intermediary how to vote, you will not be considered represented by proxy for the purpose of approving the Arrangement Resolution.

In addition to revocation in any other manner permitted by Law, a proxy may be revoked by instrument in writing, including a proxy bearing a later date, executed by the Registered Shareholder or by such Registered Shareholder’s attorney authorized in writing or, if the Registered Shareholder is a corporation, by an officer or attorney thereof duly authorized. If a Registered Shareholder submits more than one proxy by any of mail (or hand delivery), fax, Internet or telephone, the latest proxy will revoke all earlier proxies. The instrument revoking the proxy must be deposited with the Transfer Agent or at the registered office of Tundra no later than 5:00 pm (Toronto time) on the business day prior to the date of the Meeting, or any adjournment or postponement thereof, or with the Corporate Secretary of Tundra or the chairman of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting (or any adjournment or postponement of the Meeting) prior to the exercise of such proxy at the Meeting. Only Registered Shareholders have the right to revoke a proxy. The execution by a Registered Shareholder of a proxy will not affect such Registered Shareholder’s right to attend the Meeting and vote in person provided that the proxy is revoked prior to the commencement of the Meeting in the manner described above.

Non-Registered Shareholders who wish to change their vote must arrange for their respective Intermediaries to revoke the proxy on their behalf.

See “Information Concerning Voting at the Meeting” in this Circular.

The Arrangement

If the Arrangement is completed, Acquisition Sub will acquire all of the issued and outstanding Tundra Shares pursuant to the Arrangement and Tundra will become a wholly-owned, indirect subsidiary of IDT. As a result of the Arrangement, Tundra Shareholders (other than Dissenting Shareholders) will receive $6.25 in cash for each Tundra Share owned, less applicable withholdings. If the Arrangement Resolution is approved, the Arrangement will be implemented by way of a Court approved plan of arrangement under the CBCA.

See “The Arrangement” in this Circular.

Recommendation of the Special Committee

Having undertaken a thorough review of, and carefully considered, the Arrangement, including consulting with financial and independent legal advisors, the Special Committee unanimously concluded that the Arrangement is fair to the Tundra Shareholders and in the best interests of Tundra and unanimously recommended that the Directors approve the Arrangement and recommend that the Tundra Shareholders vote FOR the Arrangement.

See “The Arrangement — Recommendation of the Special Committee” in this Circular.

Recommendation of the Directors

Having received and considered the recommendation of the Special Committee, the Directors (other than Mr. Fred Shlapak, who is an interested Director and who did not participate in the decision), have unanimously concluded that the Arrangement is fair to the Tundra Shareholders and in the best interests of Tundra and have authorized the submission of the Arrangement to the Tundra Shareholders for their approval at the Meeting. The Directors have determined unanimously (other than Mr. Fred Shlapak, who is an interested Director and who did not participate in the decision) to recommend to the Tundra Shareholders that they vote FOR the Arrangement Resolution. Each Director has agreed to vote his Tundra Shares, if any, FOR the Arrangement Resolution.

See “The Arrangement — Recommendation of the Directors” in this Circular.

Reasons for the Arrangement

In evaluating and approving the Arrangement, the Special Committee and the Directors (other than Mr. Fred Shlapak, who is an interested Director and who did not participate in the decision) considered and relied upon a number of factors including the following:

 

   

The Consideration values Tundra at $6.25 per Tundra Share, a premium of 12.9% to Tundra’s 5-day volume weighted average price on the TSX ended April 24, 2009, the day before the IDT offer was submitted to Tundra, and a 108.3% premium to Tundra’s 5-day volume weighted average price on the TSX ended on March 18, 2009, the day before the announcement of Gennum’s initial offer.

 

   

The IDT offer constitutes a premium of 12% over Gennum’s amended offer, based on Gennum’s 5-day volume weighted average price on the TSX ended April 24, 2009 of $4.5904 per Gennum common share and a premium of 13% over Gennum’s amended offer, based on the closing price on the TSX of $4.48 per Gennum common share on April 24, 2009.

 

   

Tundra lacks the scale to effectively compete with larger competitors in its sectors and to drive long term growth and, due to its small scale, is unable to design products at 0.45 nm as the cost of development to 0.45 nm or less would be prohibitive relative to the R&D budget of Tundra. The size of IDT is expected to permit such development costs and strengthen competitive positioning.

 

   

The opinion of the Special Committee’s financial advisor, Citigroup, to the effect that, as of April 25, 2009, and based upon and subject to the analyses, assumptions, qualifications and limitations set forth therein, the Consideration to be received under the Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Tundra Shareholders.

 

   

The terms of the Arrangement Agreement were the result of arm’s length negotiations with IDT and the Special Committee was kept apprised of the status of such negotiations.

 

   

The Special Committee received the advice and guidance of external legal counsel, Osler, and Tundra’s financial advisor, Citigroup, throughout the process.

 

   

Tundra Shareholders will receive a fixed amount of cash as payment of the Consideration which provides certainty of value compared to a transaction in which shareholders would receive all or part of the consideration in shares.

 

   

Holders of In-The-Money Tundra Options and Tundra RSUs will receive cash payments substantially equivalent to the value of such security based on the consideration to be received for each Tundra Share under the Arrangement.

 

   

Holders of Out-Of-The-Money Tundra Options will receive Replacement Options having an economic value substantially equivalent on a per option basis to the value of the Out-Of-The-Money Tundra Options.

 

   

The lack of any required approval by IDT’s shareholders to complete the Arrangement, and the determination that IDT has the available resources, ability and desire to complete the Arrangement in a timely manner.

 

   

It is unlikely that a third party will offer a more compelling alternative than the Arrangement.

 

 

 

The Arrangement Resolution must be approved by 66 2/3% of Tundra Shareholders present in person, or represented by proxy, at the Meeting.

 

   

Registered Tundra Shareholders who do not vote in favour of the Arrangement will have the right to require a judicial appraisal of their Tundra Shares and obtain “fair value” pursuant to the exercise of the Dissent Rights under the Arrangement.

 

   

The absence of any material competition or other regulatory issues expected to arise in connection with the Arrangement so as to prevent its completion.

 

 

4


   

Completion of the Arrangement will be subject to approval of the Court which will consider, among other things, the fairness of the Arrangement to Tundra Shareholders.

 

   

Under the Arrangement Agreement, the Directors are able to respond, in accordance with their fiduciary duties, to an unsolicited Acquisition Proposal that the Directors determine could reasonably be expected to constitute a Superior Proposal. The terms of the Arrangement Agreement, including the Termination Fee payable to Acquisition Sub in certain circumstances, are reasonable and not, in the opinion of the Special Committee, preclusive of other proposals.

The Special Committee and the Directors (other than Mr. Fred Shlapak, who is an interested Director and who did not participate in the decision) also considered a number of risks and potential negative factors relating to the Arrangement including the following:

 

   

The risks to Tundra if the Arrangement is not completed, including the costs to Tundra in pursuing the Arrangement and the diversion of management’s attention away from the conduct of Tundra’s business in the ordinary course. In addition, if Tundra is required to pay the Termination Fee to Acquisition Sub and an alternative transaction is not concluded, Tundra’s financial condition may be materially and adversely affected.

 

   

IDT’s and Acquisition Sub’s obligations under the Arrangement are subject to certain conditions and Acquisition Sub has the right to terminate the Arrangement Agreement in certain circumstances.

 

   

If the Arrangement Agreement is terminated and the Directors decide to seek another business combination, Tundra may be unable to find a party willing to pay greater or equivalent value compared to the Consideration available to Tundra Shareholders under the Arrangement.

 

   

If the Arrangement is successfully completed, Tundra will no longer exist as a public company.

See “The Arrangement — Reasons for the Arrangement” in this Circular.

Fairness Opinion

Tundra engaged Citigroup to provide a fairness opinion in connection with the Arrangement. Based upon and subject to the analyses, assumptions, qualifications and limitations set forth in the Fairness Opinion (the full text of which is attached as Appendix D to this Circular), Citigroup was of the opinion that, as of April 25, 2009, the consideration for each Tundra Share to be received under the Arrangement by Tundra Shareholders was fair, from a financial point of view, to the Tundra Shareholders. The Fairness Opinion does not constitute and is not intended to constitute a recommendation as to how the Tundra Shareholders should vote at the Meeting. The summary of the Fairness Opinion in this Circular is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Fairness Opinion. Tundra Shareholders are urged to read the Fairness Opinion in its entirety.

See “The Arrangement — Fairness Opinion” in this Circular.

Arrangement Mechanics

The Steps of the Arrangement

The following transactions, among others, will occur and will be deemed to occur in the order and at the times set out in the Plan of Arrangement commencing at the Effective Time, if all conditions to the implementation of the Arrangement have been satisfied or waived:

 

   

Tundra will accelerate the vesting of each outstanding, unvested In-The-Money Tundra Option in accordance with the terms of the applicable Tundra Stock Option Plan immediately following which each unexercised In-The-Money Tundra Option, without any further action on behalf of any holder of such In-The-Money Tundra Option and without any payment except as provided in the Plan of Arrangement and subject to applicable withholdings, will be transferred by the holder thereof to Tundra in consideration for a cash payment by Tundra equal to the product obtained by multiplying the number of Tundra Shares underlying such In-The-Money Tundra Option by the amount by which the Consideration per Tundra Share exceeds the exercise price of such In-The-Money Tundra Option. Each In-The-Money

 

 

5


 

Tundra Option issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will thereafter be immediately cancelled.

 

   

Notwithstanding any contingent vesting provisions to which a Tundra RSU might otherwise have been subject, and without any further action on behalf of any holder of such Tundra RSU and without any payment except as provided in the Plan of Arrangement, Tundra will accelerate the vesting of each outstanding, unvested Tundra RSU in accordance with the terms of the Tundra Restricted Share Unit Plan and Tundra will, subject to applicable withholdings, deliver to each holder of a Tundra RSU outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time an amount equal to the Consideration in cash in settlement of each such Tundra RSU. Each Tundra RSU issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will thereafter be immediately cancelled and all Tundra RSU agreements related thereto will be immediately terminated.

 

   

Each Tundra Share held by a Dissenting Shareholder immediately prior to the Effective Time will be deemed to be transferred by the holder thereof, without any act or formality on its part, free and clear of all liens, to Acquisition Sub and Acquisition Sub will thereupon be obliged to pay the amount therefor determined and payable in accordance with the procedure described below under “Dissenting Registered Shareholders’ Rights”, and the name of such holder will be removed from the register of holders of Tundra Shares and Acquisition Sub will be recorded as the registered holder of the Tundra Shares so transferred and will be deemed to be the legal and beneficial owner of such Tundra Shares.

 

   

Each Tundra Share (other than those held by a Dissenting Shareholder or Acquisition Sub) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be transferred to Acquisition Sub and each holder thereof will be entitled to receive $6.25 in cash, less applicable withholdings, for each Tundra Share held and the names of the holders of the Tundra Shares transferred to Acquisition Sub will be removed from the register of holders of Tundra Shares, and Acquisition Sub will be recorded as the registered holder of the Tundra Shares so acquired and will be the legal and beneficial owner thereof.

 

   

Each Out-Of-The-Money Tundra Option that is outstanding and that has not been duly exercised prior to the Effective Time, whether or not vested, without any further action on behalf of any holder of such Out-Of-The-Money Tundra Option, will be exchanged for a Replacement Option to purchase from IDT the number of IDT Shares (rounded down to the nearest whole number of such shares) equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the Exchange Ratio by (ii) the number of Tundra Shares subject to such Out-Of-The-Money Tundra Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, and each holder of such exchanged Out-Of-The-Money Tundra Option will immediately become a holder of the number of Replacement Options to which such holder is entitled as a result of the exchange. Such Replacement Option will provide for an exercise price per IDT Share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) in U.S. dollars equal to (a) the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the exercise price per Tundra Share of such Out-Of-The-Money Tundra Option immediately prior to the Effective Time by (ii) the Exchange Ratio, divided by (b) the Currency Exchange Rate and, except as otherwise set out in the Plan of Arrangement, each Out-Of-The-Money Tundra Option will continue to be governed by the terms and conditions of the applicable Tundra Stock Option Plan and any stock option agreement pursuant to which such Tundra Option was granted (including, but not limited to, the term to expiry, conditions to and manner of exercising and vesting schedule).

Deposit of Tundra Share Certificates

A Letter of Transmittal (printed on green paper) is enclosed with this Circular for use by Registered Shareholders for the purpose of the surrender of Tundra Share certificates in connection with the Arrangement in exchange for the Consideration. The details for the surrender of Tundra Share certificates to the Depositary and the address of the Depositary are set out in the Letter of Transmittal. The Letter of Transmittal contains procedural information relating to the Arrangement and should be reviewed carefully. Provided that a Registered Shareholder has delivered and surrendered to the Depositary all Tundra Share certificates, together with a Letter of Transmittal properly completed and duly executed in accordance with the instructions of such Letter of Transmittal, and any additional documents as IDT or the Depositary may reasonably require, the

 

 

6


Registered Shareholder will be entitled to receive, and Acquisition Sub will cause the Depositary to deliver (or hold for pick-up, as instructed by the Registered Shareholder in the Letter of Transmittal), after the Effective Time, a cheque (or other immediately available form of funds) representing the Consideration to which the Registered Shareholder is entitled. After the Effective Time, the Tundra Share certificates will only represent the right of a Registered Shareholder to receive, upon the surrender of such certificates, the cash to which such holder is entitled under the Arrangement. You can request additional copies of the Letter of Transmittal by contacting the Depositary. The Letter of Transmittal is also available at the website maintained by the Canadian Securities Administrators at www.sedar.com. See “The Arrangement — Arrangement Mechanics” in this Circular.

Cancellation of Rights after Six Years

In accordance with the Plan of Arrangement, any certificate which immediately before the Effective Time represented Tundra Shares and which has not been surrendered, together with all other documents required by the Depositary, on or before the sixth anniversary of the Effective Date, will cease to represent any claim by or interest of any Former Tundra Shareholder of any kind or nature against or in Tundra, IDT or Acquisition Sub.

Delivery of the Consideration

In the case of a Registered Shareholder, as soon as possible after the Effective Date, assuming delivery of the required documentation, including the applicable Tundra Share certificate(s) and a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal, the Depositary will forward a cheque (or other form of immediately available funds) representing the amount of cash such Registered Shareholder is entitled to receive under the Arrangement for its Tundra Shares, less any amounts withheld, by first class mail, postage prepaid, to the address of such Registered Shareholder as shown on the register maintained by the Transfer Agent or as directed in the Letter of Transmittal, unless such Registered Shareholder indicates in the Letter of Transmittal that it wishes to pick up the cheque. Under no circumstances will interest accrue or be paid by Tundra, IDT, Acquisition Sub or the Depositary to persons depositing Tundra Shares pursuant to the Arrangement regardless of any delay in making such payment.

Non-Registered Shareholders should contact their Intermediaries regarding delivery of the Consideration.

Certain Effects of the Arrangement

Upon completion of the Arrangement, Acquisition Sub, will acquire all of the issued and outstanding Tundra Shares and Tundra will be a wholly-owned, indirect subsidiary of IDT. Shortly after completion of the Arrangement, the Tundra Shares will cease to be listed on the TSX and trading of the Tundra Shares in the public market will no longer be possible. IDT will seek to have Tundra be deemed to have ceased to be a reporting issuer under Canadian Securities Laws. Tundra will also cease to be required to file continuous disclosure documents with Canadian Securities Administrators upon ceasing to be a reporting issuer in Canada.

In addition, holders of Out-Of-The-Money Tundra Options will receive Replacement Options exercisable for IDT Shares in accordance with the procedures described above under “Arrangement Mechanics”. Based on the Consideration payable per Tundra Share, Tundra would have 1,022,177 Out-Of-The-Money Tundra Options issued and outstanding at the Effective Time, each of which would be exchanged for a Replacement Option to purchase a number of IDT Shares determined in accordance with the formula described above under “Arrangement Mechanics — The Steps of the Arrangement”. Immediately after the Effective Time, the 1,022,177 Replacement Options would be exercisable (based on the May 15 Assumed IDT VWAP and the Currency Exchange Rate as of May 15, 2009), in the aggregate, for approximately 1,008,371 IDT Shares at a weighted average exercise price of US$11.83 per IDT Share, subject to vesting and other provisions thereof. See “The Arrangement — Agreement Mechanics” and “Information Concerning IDT — Description of IDT’s Capital Structure — Replacement Options” in this Circular for a description of the treatment of Tundra Options.

Tundra Shareholder Approval

At the Meeting, Tundra Shareholders will be asked to vote to approve the Arrangement Resolution. Pursuant to the Interim Order, the Arrangement Resolution must be approved by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the votes cast at the Meeting by Tundra Shareholders present in person, or represented by proxy, and entitled to vote at the Meeting. The Arrangement Resolution must receive the Tundra Shareholder Approval in order for Tundra to seek the Final Order and implement the Arrangement on the Effective Date in accordance with the Final Order.

See “The Arrangement — Tundra Shareholder Approval” in this Circular.

Sources of Funds for the Arrangement

Under the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, Acquisition Sub will pay an aggregate of approximately $120.8 million, which will be indirectly funded by IDT’s cash on hand, as the consideration to acquire all of the outstanding Tundra Shares based on 19,326,053 outstanding Tundra Shares and no Dissenting Shareholders. In addition, assuming no Tundra Shareholders exercise their Dissent Rights and no In-The-Money Tundra Options are exercised prior to the Effective Time, Tundra will use approximately $2,925,138 from its cash on hand to make the required payments in respect of the outstanding Tundra RSUs and In-The-Money Tundra Options. For additional information, see “The Arrangement — Sources of Funds for the Arrangement” in this Circular.

Voting Support Agreement

All of the Directors and executive officers of Tundra have entered into a Voting Support Agreement with IDT and Acquisition Sub pursuant to which they have agreed, among other things, to vote their Tundra Shares in favour of the Arrangement Resolution.

Interests of Directors, Executive Officers and Others in the Arrangement

In considering the recommendations of the Special Committee and the Directors with respect to the Arrangement, Tundra Shareholders should be aware that certain of the Directors and executive officers of Tundra may have interests (set out below) that differ from and/or are in addition to, those of Tundra Shareholders generally. The Special Committee and the Directors were aware of these potential interests and considered them, along with other matters, in reaching their decision to approve the Arrangement and to recommend Tundra Shareholders vote for the Arrangement Resolution. See “The Arrangement — Interests of Directors, Executive Officers and Others in the Arrangement” in this Circular.

 

   

At the Effective Time, Tundra will accelerate the vesting of each outstanding, unvested In-The-Money Tundra Option in accordance with the terms of the applicable Tundra Stock Option Plan immediately following which each unexercised In-The-Money Tundra Option, without any further action on behalf of any holder of such In-The-Money Tundra Option and without any payment except as provided in the Plan of Arrangement, and, subject to applicable withholdings, will be transferred by the holder thereof to Tundra in consideration for a cash payment by Tundra in accordance with the Plan of Arrangement. Each unexercised In-The Money Tundra Option issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Arrangement will thereafter be immediately cancelled. The Directors and executive officers of Tundra collectively hold 339,500 In-The-Money Tundra Options.

 

   

At the time specified in the Plan of Arrangement, each Out-Of-The-Money Tundra Option, without any further action on behalf of any holder of such Out-Of-The-Money Tundra Option, will be exchanged for a Replacement Option to purchase a number of IDT Shares in accordance with, and at the exercise price set forth in, the Plan of Arrangement. Except as otherwise set out in the Plan of Arrangement, each Out-Of-The-Money Tundra Option will continue to be governed by the terms and conditions of the applicable Tundra Stock Option Plan and any stock option agreement pursuant to which such Tundra Option was granted (including, but not limited to, the term to expiry, conditions to and manner of exercising and vesting schedule). The Directors and executive officers of Tundra collectively hold 460,927 Out-of-The-Money Tundra Options.

At the time specified in the Plan of Arrangement, Tundra will accelerate the vesting of each outstanding, unvested Tundra RSU in accordance with the terms of the Tundra Restricted Share Unit Plan and Tundra will deliver to each holder of a Tundra RSU outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time a cash payment in settlement of each such Tundra RSU in accordance with the Plan of Arrangement. The Directors and executive officers of Tundra collectively hold 102,500 Tundra RSUs.

 

   

The Directors and executive officers of Tundra will receive the payment(s) and/or Replacement Options described above and in “Arrangement Mechanics” in this Summary in respect of their respective In-The-Money Tundra Options, Out-Of-The-Money Tundra Options and/or Tundra RSUs on the same basis as all of the other holders of each such securities.

 

   

Pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement, IDT or Acquisition Sub will maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance for six years from the Effective Date for the directors and officers of Tundra and its subsidiaries for acts or omissions occurring prior to the Effective Date on terms comparable to the coverage provided by the policies maintained by Tundra.

 

   

The Directors and executive officers of Tundra entered into the Voting Support Agreement with IDT and Acquisition Sub, pursuant to which each agreed to vote his Tundra Shares in favour of the Arrangement.

 

   

The employment agreements between Tundra and its executive officers contain change of control provisions.

Court Approvals

Court Approval of the Arrangement and Completion of the Arrangement

The Arrangement requires Court approval under the CBCA. On May 15, 2009, prior to the mailing of this Circular, Tundra obtained the Interim Order, which provides for the calling and holding of the Meeting, the Dissent Rights and other procedural matters. A copy of the Interim Order is set forth in Appendix E to this Circular. A copy of the Notice of Application in respect of the Final Order is attached as Appendix F to this Circular.

Subject to Tundra Shareholder Approval in accordance with the Interim Order, the hearing in respect of the Final Order is currently scheduled to take place on June 16, 2009, at 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) in the Court at 330 University Avenue, Toronto, Ontario, M5G 1R8. The Court, in hearing the motion for the Final Order, will consider, among other things, the substantive and procedural fairness of the Arrangement.

See “Principal Legal Matters — Court Approval of the Arrangement and Completion of the Arrangement” in this Circular.

If (a) Tundra Shareholder Approval is obtained, (b) the Final Order is obtained, and (c) all other conditions under the Arrangement Agreement are satisfied or waived, the Articles of Arrangement will be filed and the Arrangement will become effective on the Effective Date. Tundra and IDT currently expect that the Effective Date will be on or about June 29, 2009.

Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations

Generally, a Tundra Shareholder who is a resident of Canada for purposes of the Tax Act and who holds their Tundra Shares as capital property and disposes of such Tundra Shares to Acquisition Sub under the

 

 

11


Arrangement will realize a capital gain (or capital loss) in an amount equal to the amount by which the cash received by such Tundra Shareholder under the Arrangement, net of any reasonable costs of disposition, exceeds (or is exceeded by) the adjusted cost base to the Tundra Shareholder of such Tundra Shares.

Generally, a Tundra Shareholder who is not resident in Canada for purposes of the Tax Act will not be subject to tax under the Tax Act on any capital gain realized on a disposition of Tundra Shares unless the Tundra Shares are “taxable Canadian property” (as defined by the Tax Act) to the Tundra Shareholder and the gain is not otherwise exempt from tax under the Tax Act pursuant to the provisions of an applicable income tax treaty.

The foregoing is a brief summary of Canadian federal income tax consequences only. Shareholders should review the more detailed information under the heading “Certain Tax Considerations for Securityholders —Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations” and consult with their own tax advisors regarding their particular circumstances.

Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations

The exchange of Tundra Shares for cash pursuant to the Arrangement will constitute a taxable transaction to U.S. Holders for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, a U.S. Holder of Tundra Shares will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference, if any, between (a) the U.S. dollar value of the Canadian currency received pursuant to the Arrangement, and (b) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis, as determined in U.S. dollars, in the Tundra Shares surrendered pursuant to the Arrangement. Gain or loss will be calculated separately for each block of Tundra Shares (i.e., Tundra Shares acquired at the same cost in a single transaction) surrendered pursuant to the Arrangement.

Tundra believes that it is likely that it will be classified as a PFIC for its taxable year ending April 30, 2009 and may be classified as a PFIC for its taxable year that includes the Effective Date. There can be no assurance that Tundra was not classified as a PFIC in previous years. If Tundra has been treated as a PFIC for any taxable year during a U.S. Holder’s holding period of Tundra Shares, any gain on a taxable (and, in certain cases, an otherwise non-taxable) disposition of Tundra Shares, including a disposition of Tundra Shares pursuant to the Arrangement, would be subject to adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences. Such gain would be treated as if the gain had been realized rateably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period and would be taxed at ordinary income rates as described herein. The amounts allocated to the current taxable year and to any taxable year before Tundra became a PFIC would be taxed as ordinary income. The amount allocated to each other taxable year would be subject to tax at the highest rate in effect for individuals or corporations in such taxable year, as appropriate, and a non-deductible interest charge would be imposed on the amount of taxes deemed to have been payable in each such taxable year.

This summary is qualified in its entirety by the section of this Circular entitled “Certain Tax Considerations for Securityholders — Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” and U.S. Holders are encouraged to read that section and consult with their own independent tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income and other tax consequences of the Arrangement, including the possible application of the PFIC rules, to them in their particular circumstances.

Dissenting Registered Shareholders’ Rights

The Interim Order expressly provides Registered Shareholders with the right to dissent from the Arrangement Resolution pursuant to Section 190 of the CBCA, with modifications to the provisions of Section 190 as provided in Article 4 of the Plan of Arrangement, the Interim Order and the Final Order. Any Registered Shareholder who dissents from the Arrangement Resolution in compliance with Section 190 of the CBCA, as modified by Article 5 of the Plan of Arrangement, the Interim Order and the Final Order, if the Arrangement becomes effective, will transfer the holder’s Tundra Shares to Acquisition Sub and will be entitled to be paid by Acquisition Sub the fair value of the Tundra Shares held by such Dissenting Shareholder determined as of the close of business on the day prior to approval of the Arrangement Resolution. Tundra Shareholders are cautioned that fair value could be determined to be less than the Consideration. Only a Registered Shareholder may exercise the Dissent Rights in respect of Tundra Shares that are registered in that Tundra Shareholder’s name. None of the following will be entitled to exercise Dissent Rights: (i) holders of the

 

 

12


Tundra Options; (ii) holders of the Tundra RSUs; and (iii) holders of Tundra Shares who vote or have instructed a proxyholder to vote such Tundra Shares in favour of the Arrangement Resolution (but only in respect of such Tundra Shares).

For a summary of certain Canadian federal tax considerations relevant to a Dissenting Shareholder, see “Certain Tax Considerations for Securityholders — Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations” in this Circular.

Beneficial owners of Tundra Shares registered in the name of a broker, investment dealer, bank, trust company, trustee or other Intermediary who wish to dissent should be aware that only Registered Shareholders are entitled to dissent and, accordingly, they should contact such Intermediary to exercise Dissent Rights.

A Registered Shareholder who wishes to dissent must provide a Dissent Notice to Tundra at (a) 603 March Road, Ottawa, Ontario, K2K 2M5; or (b) by facsimile transmission to (613) 592-7120, in each case to be received not later than 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the business day which is two business days before the Meeting or any date to which the Meeting may be postponed or adjourned. Failure to strictly comply with these dissent procedures may result in the loss or unavailability of the right to dissent.

A complete copy of Section 190 of the CBCA is attached as Appendix G to this Circular. It is recommended that any Registered Shareholder wishing to avail itself of its Dissent Rights under those provisions seek legal advice, as failure to comply strictly with the provisions of the CBCA (as modified by the Plan of Arrangement, the Interim Order and the Final Order) may prejudice its Dissent Rights. See “Dissenting Registered Shareholders’ Rights” in this Circular.

Risk Factors Related to the Arrangement

There are risks associated with the completion of the Arrangement, including the following:

 

   

There can be no certainty that all conditions precedent to the Arrangement will be satisfied or waived, or as to the timing of their satisfaction or waiver. Failure to complete the Arrangement could negatively impact the market price of the Tundra Shares.

 

   

The Arrangement Agreement may be terminated by Tundra or Acquisition Sub in certain circumstances.

 

   

The Termination Fee provided under the Arrangement Agreement may discourage other parties from attempting to acquire Tundra.

 

   

The PFIC status of Tundra for U.S. federal income tax purposes during its current taxable year or in prior taxable years may subject U.S. investors to adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences in connection with a taxable (and, in certain cases, an otherwise non-taxable) disposition of Tundra Shares, including a disposition of Tundra Shares pursuant to the Arrangement.

See “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements”, “Information Concerning Tundra — Risk Factors Related to Tundra” and “Risk Factors Related to the Arrangement” in this Circular.

INFORMATION CONCERNING VOTING AT THE MEETING

Date, Time and Place of the Meeting

The Meeting will be held on June 15, 2009 at 11:00 a.m. (Toronto time), at The Marshes Golf Club, 320 Terry Fox Drive, Ottawa (Kanata), Ontario, Canada, K2K 3L1.

Record Date

Tundra Shareholders of record as of 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on May 15, 2009, the record date for the Meeting, are entitled to receive notice of and to attend, and to vote at, the Meeting or any adjournment(s) or postponement(s) of the Meeting. As of May 15, 2009, 19,326,053 Tundra Shares are entitled to vote at the Meeting.

Solicitation of Proxies

This Circular is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by and on behalf of the management of Tundra for use at the Meeting. The solicitation of proxies for the Meeting will be made primarily by mail and may be supplemented by telephone or other means of communication to be made, without special compensation, by the Directors, executive officers, employees and agents of Tundra. Georgeson Shareholder Communications Canada Inc. (“Georgeson”) is acting as Tundra’s proxy solicitation agent, for which it will be paid a fee of up to $65,000, plus a fee for each telephone call made by Tundra Shareholders to Georgeson or by Georgeson to the Tundra Shareholders. Georgeson will also be reimbursed for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with the solicitation. Tundra has also agreed to indemnify Georgeson against certain liabilities arising out of or in connection with its engagement. The fees and expenses of Georgeson will be paid by Tundra. Tundra may pay investment dealers or other persons holding Tundra Shares in their own names, or in the names of nominees, for their reasonable expenses for sending this Circular and the form of proxy or voting instruction form to Non-Registered Shareholders and obtaining voting instructions and/or proxies therefrom. The cost of the solicitation will be borne by Tundra.

Distribution of Meeting Materials

The Meeting Materials are being sent by Tundra to Registered Shareholders directly and to Intermediaries for distribution to Non-Registered Shareholders. The Meeting Materials are also being sent to holders of Tundra Options and Tundra RSUs who are not also Tundra Shareholders.

Most Tundra Shareholders are Non-Registered Shareholders. Applicable Securities Laws require Intermediaries to seek voting instructions from Non-Registered Shareholders in advance of the Meeting. Tundra Shares held through Intermediaries can only be voted in accordance with the instructions received from the Non-Registered Shareholders. In the absence of having obtained specific voting instructions, Intermediaries are prohibited from voting Tundra Shares held by Non-Registered Shareholders.

Voting Procedures

The procedures by which Tundra Shareholders may exercise their right to vote with respect to matters at the Meeting will vary depending on whether Tundra Shareholders are Registered Shareholders or Non-Registered Shareholders.

All Tundra Shareholders are advised to carefully read the voting instructions below that are specifically applicable to them.

Registered Shareholders

In order to vote with respect to matters being considered at the Meeting, Registered Shareholders must either:

 

   

attend the Meeting in person;

 

14


   

complete, sign, date and return the enclosed form of proxy (printed on white paper), or such other proper form of proxy prepared for use at the Meeting which is acceptable to the Transfer Agent and Tundra; or

 

   

otherwise communicate their voting instructions in accordance with the instructions set out in the enclosed form of proxy or through the use of another acceptable and proper form of proxy.

Non-Registered Shareholders

The information in this section is important to many Tundra Shareholders as a substantial number of Tundra Shareholders do not hold their Tundra Shares in their own name.

Non-Registered Shareholders should note that only proxies deposited by Tundra Shareholders whose names appear on the share register of Tundra may be recognized and acted upon at the Meeting. If Tundra Shares are shown in an account statement provided to a Non-Registered Shareholder by an Intermediary, then in almost all cases the name of such Non-Registered Shareholder will not appear in the share register of Tundra. Such Tundra Shares will most likely be registered in the name of a broker, an agent of the broker or other Intermediary. In Canada, the majority of such Tundra Shares will be registered in the name CDS, which acts as a nominee for many brokerage firms. Such Tundra Shares can only be voted by Intermediaries and only in accordance with instructions received from Non-Registered Shareholders. As a result, Non-Registered Shareholders should carefully review the voting instructions provided by their Intermediary with this Circular and ensure that they direct the voting of their Tundra Shares in accordance with those instructions.

Applicable Securities Laws require Intermediaries to seek voting instructions from Non-Registered Shareholders in advance of the Meeting. Each Intermediary has its own mailing procedures and provides its own return instructions to clients. The purpose of the form of proxy or voting instruction form provided to a Non-Registered Shareholder by such Non-Registered Shareholder’s Intermediary is limited to instructing the registered holder on how to vote Tundra Shares on behalf of the Non-Registered Shareholder. The Intermediary typically prepares voting instruction forms, mails those forms to Non-Registered Shareholders and asks those Non-Registered Shareholders to return the forms to the Intermediary or follow specific telephone or other voting procedures. The Intermediary then tabulates the results of all instructions received by it and provides appropriate instructions respecting the voting of such Tundra Shares at the Meeting. A Non-Registered Shareholder receiving a voting instruction form from the Intermediary cannot use that form to vote their Tundra Shares at the Meeting. Instead, the voting instruction form must be returned to the Intermediary or the alternate voting procedures specified by the Intermediary must be completed well in advance of the Meeting in order to ensure that such Tundra Shares are voted.

Appointment and Revocation of Proxies

The persons named in the form of proxy that accompanies this Circular are Directors and/or executive officers of Tundra. A Registered Shareholder has the right to appoint a person, other than the persons whose names appear in the accompanying form of proxy, to represent the Registered Shareholder at the Meeting by striking out the printed names and inserting that other person’s name in the blank space provided. A proxyholder need not be a Tundra Shareholder. Voting by mail or Internet are the only methods by which a Registered Shareholder may appoint a person other than the management nominees named in the form of proxy. If a Registered Shareholder appoints a Director or executive officer as proxyholder and no voting instruction in the form of proxy is made by the Registered Shareholder, such Director or executive officer will vote the proxy FOR the Arrangement Resolution.

The instrument appointing a proxyholder must be signed in writing by the Registered Shareholder, or such Registered Shareholder’s attorney authorized in writing. If the Registered Shareholder is a corporation, the instrument appointing a proxyholder must be in writing signed by an officer or attorney of the corporation duly authorized by resolution of the board of directors of such corporation, which resolution must accompany such instrument. An instrument of proxy will only be valid if it is duly completed, signed, dated and received by Computershare Investor Services Inc. before 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time), on June 11, 2009 (or the date that is two business days immediately prior to the date set for any adjournment or postponement of the Meeting).

THE ARRANGEMENT

Background to the Arrangement

The provisions of the Arrangement Agreement are the result of negotiations conducted between representatives of Tundra, IDT and their respective advisors. The following is a summary of the meetings, negotiations, discussions and actions between the parties that preceded the execution and public announcement of the Arrangement.

Commencing at the beginning of 2008, the Board of Directors discussed and evaluated continuing consolidation trends in the global semiconductor industry, various strategic alternatives available to Tundra, including possible acquisitions of complementary businesses, the possibility of a third party acquiring Tundra and the opportunities and risks associated with remaining a stand-alone company, particularly in light of the current global economic crisis and of the continuous rising costs associated with the research and development of submicron technologies.

In January 2008, and in the context of a third party’s unsolicited indication of interest in acquiring Tundra, the Board of Directors formally retained Citigroup to act as its financial advisor to assist Tundra in exploring various strategic alternatives. An engagement letter was entered into with Citigroup pursuant to which, among other things, Citigroup agreed to provide Tundra with a fairness opinion in the event a strategic transaction was pursued. Tundra held preliminary discussions with the third party but the third party withdrew from discussions after initial diligence had been completed. At such time, the Board of Directors determined that, although it

would seriously consider incoming indications of interest from third parties, and would remain open to the possibility of a strategic combination, it would not actively seek strategic partners.

On August 12, 2008, at the unsolicited request of Gennum, Daniel Hoste, President and Chief Executive Officer of Tundra, and Dr. Franz Fink, President and Chief Executive Officer of Gennum, met to discuss a possible strategic relationship between the two companies.

On August 28, 2008, at the unsolicited request of potential acquiror Z, Mr. David Long, the Chief Financial Officer of Tundra and the Chief Financial Officer of potential acquiror Z had a call to discuss the merits of a possible transaction. On September 8, 2008, Mr. Long and the Chief Financial Officer of potential acquiror Z met in person in Toronto for a follow-up discussion.

On September 11, 2008, the Board of Directors received a presentation from Citigroup in which Citigroup provided a summary of Tundra’s strategic alternatives, including continuing with the then current strategic plan regarding running the Tundra business and, potentially, making acquisitions to strengthen the business, or merging with a strategic partner. The Board of Directors, with the assistance of Citigroup, identified and discussed possible strategic acquisition partners and the benefits and disadvantages of these potential combinations. Mr. Hoste specifically discussed the merits of a potential combination with two companies (one of which was Gennum and the other of which was potential acquiror Z) and was directed by the Board of Directors to further explore these and other possible transaction partners. At the September 11, 2008 Board of Directors meeting it was determined that it would be inappropriate for Mr. Fred Shlapak, a director of both Gennum and Tundra, to participate in meetings at which a transaction with Gennum was discussed or at which competitors to a potential Gennum transaction would be discussed and, as such, Mr. Shlapak recused himself from and did not participate in any such discussions following September 11, 2008.

On September 12, 2008, Mr. Long and the Chief Financial Officer of potential acquiror Z had a call to discuss potential cost synergies between the two companies and followed up with two further phone conversations during September 2008 to further discuss each other’s cost base. On October 7, 2008, Mr. Hoste and Dr. Adam Chowaniec, the Chairman of Tundra, met with the Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer of potential acquiror Z in Chicago to further explore a possible strategic relationship between the two companies.

On September 15, 2008, Tundra entered into the Confidentiality Agreement with Gennum. On September 18, 2008, Mr. Long and Mr. Gordon Currie, the Chief Financial Officers of Tundra and Gennum, respectively, had a call to discuss the merits of a possible transaction. On September 25, 2008, Mr. Long and Mr. Currie had a subsequent call to discuss initial thoughts on possible synergies and continued to correspond through email and telephone calls on financial details throughout October 2008.

The Board of Directors met again on October 31, 2008. The main purpose of this meeting was to discuss whether or not to increase the focus on locating a strategic partner for Tundra or to run the business as a standalone entity, particularly in light of the extremely challenging global economic climate. As it became increasingly apparent that the Gennum combination had merit, the Board of Directors confirmed that management should explore other strategic combinations with which to compare the Gennum opportunity and subsequent offer, if any. The Board of Directors received an update from Mr. Hoste regarding discussions with potential acquiror Z and agreed with management that discussions with potential acquiror Z should be discontinued as, based on the information provided to Mr. Hoste about the proposed combination with potential acquiror Z, the Board of Directors did not perceive that a proposed combination with potential acquiror Z would enhance Tundra’s shareholder value. The Board of Directors confirmed that discussions with Gennum should continue and that management should continue to work with Citigroup to identify other potential strategic acquirors.

On November 21, 2008, the chairmen (Dr. Chowaniec of Tundra and Mr. Robert Weiss of Gennum) and Mr. Hoste and Dr. Fink met to further explore a possible strategic relationship between the two companies.

On December 3, 2008, the Board of Directors invited its external legal counsel, Osler, to provide them with general advice pertaining to process and items of concern in the context of a takeover bid or merger, with particular focus on the fiduciary duties of the Board of Directors in such a context. At that meeting, the Board of Directors confirmed its earlier decision to continue to pursue a strategic merger. The Board of Directors approved management’s approach of developing a list of target companies with whom it could be expected there

would be a strategic fit and, thus, an opportunity for the target company to both derive and pay for increased value from a combination with Tundra. The Board of Directors considered the preliminary discussions between Gennum and Tundra and, upon confirming that there would be significant benefits to Tundra Shareholders and to the Tundra business in a merger with Gennum, directed the Tundra management team to work with Citigroup to advance discussions with Gennum. At the same time, the Board of Directors directed the management team to work with Citigroup to identify and approach additional potential partners.

After the December 3, 2008 Board of Directors meeting, Citigroup, at the direction of management, approached several other companies identified as potential acquirors. Mr. Hoste met with one of the identified companies (potential acquiror Y) on December 10, 2008.

On December 11, 2008 and on January 13, 2009, Mr. Hoste met with the Chief Executive Officer of potential acquiror Z. Mr. Hoste and Mr. Long had subsequent discussions with potential acquiror Z’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer through January and February 2009.

Mr. Hoste and Dr. Fink exchanged emails on December 22 and 23, 2008 for the purposes of scheduling a meeting for certain senior executives of Tundra and Citigroup to make a presentation to Dr. Fink and certain senior executives of Gennum and its financial advisors regarding a possible strategic transaction between the two companies. This presentation occurred on January 12, 2009 at an in-person meeting in Toronto involving senior management of both Tundra and Gennum. On January 8, 2009, Gennum, with the assistance of its external legal counsel, Blakes, and its financial advisor, Genuity, reviewed an indicative non-binding term sheet. On January 17, 2009, Dr. Fink of Gennum sent Mr. Hoste of Tundra a draft proposal and non-binding indicative term sheet.

On January 20, 2009, the Board of Directors (other than Mr. Shlapak) met to receive a report from Citigroup regarding its active solicitation of offers for the acquisition of Tundra through December 2008 and January 2009. The Board of Directors also considered and reviewed the various strategic transaction possibilities identified by Citigroup. The Board of Directors reviewed the discussions in which Mr. Hoste had engaged to that date with three potential acquirors, other than Gennum. Of the three, IDT and potential acquiror Y had declined at that time to enter into a mutual confidentiality agreement with Tundra. The third company, potential acquiror Z with whom Tundra had previously had discussions, indicated, for reasons related to its own business, that it would delay participation in further discussions. The Board of Directors then discussed the non-binding term sheet sent by Gennum on January 17, 2009. Citigroup provided the Board of Directors with a presentation regarding a potential transaction with Gennum and a summary of the non-binding term sheet. The Board of Directors, having received the presentation and discussed the potential benefits and disadvantages of a transaction with Gennum agreed to continue discussions with Gennum and provided comments and direction to management on the Gennum term sheet. The Board of Directors indicated that discussions with IDT should also be continued in order to further the potential of their participation in a potential acquisition of Tundra. The Board of Directors also resolved that it would be appropriate to form a special committee of independent members of the Board of Directors for the purposes of considering the strategic opportunities for Tundra and providing oversight and direction of the process and any negotiations. The Special Committee was comprised of Mr. Terry Nickerson (Chair), Dr. Chowaniec and Mr. Cesar Cesaratto.

On January 21, 2009, Tundra and Citigroup sent a written response and comments to Gennum based on discussions held with the Board of Directors on January 20, 2009. One of the terms proposed by Gennum was a one month exclusivity period. The Board of Directors and Tundra management were of the view at that time that it was premature for Tundra to commit to discussions exclusively with Gennum.

Management also continued discussions during this period with other identified potential acquirors. On January 21, 2009, a mutual confidentiality agreement was signed with potential acquiror Y. On January 23, 2009, a mutual confidentiality agreement was signed with IDT.

On January 26, 2009, Gennum sent to Tundra a revised, non-binding term sheet for Tundra’s consideration. On January 27, 2009, Mr. Hoste provided Dr. Fink with verbal comments on the Gennum term sheet.

On January 28, 2009, the Special Committee met at length, with Citigroup and Osler in attendance, for the purposes of discussing updates regarding discussions with IDT and potential acquiror Y and the discussions with Gennum. IDT’s Chief Executive Officer received a management presentation from Tundra on January 26, 2009

 

19


prior to the Special Committee meeting and had subsequently indicated that it did not wish to further pursue discussions at that time. Potential acquiror Y was moving slowly and had not demonstrated either urgency or a high level of interest in further discussions with Tundra. The Special Committee, having received the update of all discussions to date and management’s view as to the likely merits of any other potential acquirors, agreed that it would be in the best interest of Tundra to proceed with the exclusivity arrangement proposed by Gennum but directed management to negotiate an increased price range and certain other terms.

The Special Committee met again on January 29, 2009, with Citigroup and Osler in attendance, to discuss conversations between Mr. Hoste and Dr. Fink by phone on January 28, 2009 and January 29, 2009. Mr. Hoste and Dr. Fink had extensive discussions regarding the price range with which the parties were prepared to proceed and the exclusivity terms. Mr. Hoste confirmed to the Special Committee at the meeting that he had had a phone conversation with the Chief Executive Officer of IDT to understand their reasons for discontinuing discussions. Mr. Hoste also confirmed during that telephone conversation IDT’s firm conclusion to discontinue negotiations. The Special Committee questioned Mr. Hoste regarding the negotiations with Gennum and considered whether further improvement on the terms proposed would be attained. The Special Committee also identified further issues for negotiation and emphasized the need for Tundra to conduct significant due diligence on Gennum prior to agreeing to a transaction. Having considered the discussions, they agreed to enter into an exclusivity agreement with Gennum. Tundra subsequently granted Gennum exclusivity commencing on January 30, 2009 for a period of 30 days. During such period, Gennum and its advisors were provided with extensive access to due diligence materials through an electronic data room and Tundra personnel.

The Board of Directors (other than Mr. Shlapak) met on February 2, 2009 at which the Special Committee provided the Board of Directors with a full update on the status of the strategic process to that date including all previous discussions with IDT, potential acquirors Y and Z, and further confirmed the status of discussions with Gennum, including the decision to engage exclusively with Gennum. The Board of Directors also asked questions of the Special Committee and management regarding the continuing opportunities for the business of Tundra as a stand-alone company as compared to a strategic combination or merger. On February 5, 2009, Mr. Hoste and Dr. Fink met in person to discuss the strategic aspects of a possible transaction.

The Special Committee met on February 6, 2009, with Osler in attendance, to discuss the anticipated legal process and due diligence requirements of the potential transaction. The Special Committee confirmed the importance of Tundra conducting due diligence on Gennum from a legal, financial and business perspective.

At the request of the Special Committee, the Tundra Human Resources Governance and Nominating Committee (“HRGN Committee”) met on February 14, 2009 to consider the treatment of stock options and of the Tundra Restricted Share Unit Plan, as well as the severance arrangements for Tundra employees potentially affected by the transaction. The HRGN Committee presented its recommendations to the Special Committee respecting these matters on February 16, 2009. The HRGN Committee’s recommendations formed the basis for Tundra’s negotiating position on these matters.

Mr. Hoste and Dr. Fink continued to exchange emails and telephone calls between February 2, 2009 and March 19, 2009 regarding the negotiations and terms of a potential transaction. On February 26, 2009, Dr. Fink provided Mr. Hoste with the presentation prepared by Gennum as part of the reverse due diligence to be conducted by Tundra. The Special Committee met on each of February 16, 2009, February 20, 2009, February 23, 2009, February 25, 2009, February 26, 2009, February 27, 2009, and March 1, 2009 for purposes of receiving updates from management regarding the ongoing negotiations between Tundra and Gennum and providing input and direction on outstanding terms. During this period, the consideration to be paid by Gennum for the outstanding Tundra Shares was the principal term discussed. On February 27, 2009, Gennum provided Tundra with a revised verbal proposal regarding the consideration it was prepared to pay to acquire Tundra.

On February 23, 2009, legal counsel for Gennum delivered a first draft of the Gennum Agreement to Tundra and its advisors. Between February 23, 2009 and March 19, 2009, legal advisors to Tundra and Gennum exchanged a number of drafts of both the Gennum Agreement and a form of voting support agreement. Gennum continued its due diligence process. Tundra and Gennum, together with their respective legal and financial advisors, negotiated the terms of these agreements during this period.

On February 28, 2009, the board of directors of Gennum met, with Blakes and Genuity in attendance, to, among other things, review the results of Gennum’s due diligence to date, the benefits of a possible transaction with Tundra and the potential price range of such a transaction.

The Special Committee met on March 1, 2009 to discuss the ongoing negotiations on consideration, form of consideration and the possible extension of the exclusivity period. The Special Committee directed that the Tundra reverse due diligence on Gennum proceed and that negotiations on the terms of the definitive agreement continue. The exclusivity period was extended until March 23, 2009. The Special Committee met again on each of March 11, March 14 and March 17, 2009 to further review the ongoing negotiations.

On March 2, 2009, Mr. Hoste and Dr. Chowaniec, received an unsolicited non-binding solicitation of interest from the Chief Executive Officer of potential acquiror Z. On March 4, 2009, the Board of Directors noted that Tundra had an exclusivity agreement with Gennum and, in any event, determined that such indication of interest was unacceptable for a number of reasons, including the fact the consideration proposed was lower than that being proposed by Gennum.

On March 4, 2009, the Board of Directors met at a regularly scheduled meeting to review the Tundra third quarter financial results. During this meeting, Mr. Hoste provided the Board of Directors (in the absence of Mr. Shlapak) with a detailed update of the status of the discussions with Gennum.

On March 12, 2009, the Board of Directors (other than Mr. Shlapak) met for the purposes of receiving a presentation by Dr. Fink. The presentation included an overview of Gennum from an operational and financial perspective, the Gennum business plan going forward and the post-acquisition strategy proposed by Gennum. Following the presentation, the Board of Directors discussed the perceived benefits and risks of the proposed transaction with Gennum in light of the information provided in the presentation. The Board of Directors discussed the effect of the transaction on Tundra’s employees and the benefits the proposed transaction may bring to Tundra shareholders. The Board of Directors expressed the view that the proposed combined entity would benefit from the membership of no fewer than two Tundra directors.

On March 13, 2009, the management of Tundra and Gennum and their respective legal advisors met in Toronto to negotiate the terms of the Gennum Agreement. The Special Committee met on March 14, 2009 and March 17, 2009 to discuss the status of negotiations regarding the Gennum Agreement and deal terms and conditions. The Special Committee received updates by senior management of Tundra and their legal and financial advisors regarding the status of negotiations and the progress that had been made on the major issues to date.

Negotiations continued through the week of March 16, 2009 until March 19, 2009. On March 18, 2009, Mr. Hoste provided Dr. Fink the results of the Tundra customer diligence survey conducted by an external third party, one of the final elements of Gennum’s due diligence.

The Special Committee meeting on March 19, 2009 was delayed to accommodate ongoing negotiations. Prior to the meeting, Citigroup provided materials relating to its oral presentation to the Special Committee and Board of Directors. The Special Committee meeting, with Citigroup and Osler in attendance, commenced at approximately 12:30 p.m. (Toronto time). At the meeting, the Special Committee reviewed its own process, as well as a summary of the final agreed key terms reflected in the Gennum Agreement from the General Counsel of Tundra and from its external legal counsel, Osler. At the meeting, representatives of Citigroup made an oral presentation to the Special Committee on the financial terms of the Gennum Arrangement. Citigroup provided its opinion to the Special Committee that, as of March 19, 2009 and based on certain assumptions, qualifications and limitations, it was of the opinion that the consideration to be received under the Gennum Arrangement was fair, from a financial point of view, to the Tundra Shareholders. After further discussion, the Special Committee unanimously concluded that the Arrangement was fair to the Tundra Shareholders and in the best interests of Tundra and unanimously recommended that the Board of Directors approve the Gennum Arrangement and recommend that the Tundra Shareholders vote for the Gennum Arrangement.

Immediately following the meeting of the Special Committee, the Board of Directors met (other than Mr. Shlapak), with Citigroup and Osler in attendance, for the purposes of reviewing the process followed to conclude the Gennum Agreement and the final key terms reflected in the Gennum Agreement, receiving the recommendation of the Special Committee and approving the Gennum Arrangement. Following discussion and

 

21


there being no further open business issues or material terms of the Gennum Agreement to negotiate, the Board of Directors (other than Mr. Shlapak) unanimously concluded that the Gennum Arrangement was fair to the Tundra Shareholders and in the best interests of Tundra and authorized the execution of the Gennum Agreement and the submission of a special resolution approving the Gennum Arrangement for consideration by the Tundra Shareholders at a meeting.

On March 19, 2009, the board of directors of Gennum, having previously considered the results of Gennum’s due diligence and considered the potential benefits and risks of a possible transaction with Tundra, met, with Blakes and Genuity in attendance, to receive an update on these matters and to review the draft of the Gennum Agreement. At that meeting, the board of directors of Gennum unanimously resolved to authorize Gennum’s execution of the Gennum Agreement.

The Gennum Agreement and the Gennum voting support agreement were finalized and executed by Tundra, Gennum and the Directors and executive officers of Tundra, as applicable, on March 19, 2009 after the close of business. A joint Gennum/Tundra press release was disseminated shortly thereafter announcing the Gennum Arrangement.

On April 14, 2009, IDT submitted an unsolicited, non-binding expression of interest to Tundra to acquire all of the Tundra Shares at a price of $5.50 per Tundra Share in cash, conditional on due diligence by IDT and other matters. The Special Committee met later that same day, with Citigroup and Osler in attendance, and determined that the IDT expression of interest was an Acquisition Proposal that was reasonably likely to constitute a Superior Proposal. On April 15, 2009, the Board of Directors (other than Mr. Shlapak) met, with Citigroup and Osler in attendance, and determined, based in part upon the recommendation of the Special Committee, that the IDT expression of interest was an Acquisition Proposal that was reasonably likely to constitute a Superior Proposal. Tundra and IDT entered into a confidentiality and standstill agreement, permitting IDT to commence due diligence for a 12 calendar day period in accordance with the Gennum Agreement. Tundra notified Gennum of IDT’s expression of interest and provided to Gennum a copy of the confidentiality and standstill agreement entered into by Tundra and IDT in accordance with the Gennum Agreement.

On April 16, 2009, Dr. Franz Fink contacted Mr. Hoste with a proposal to significantly increase the amount of consideration offered to Tundra Shareholders pursuant to the Gennum Agreement to $5.81 in cash or 1.169 common shares of Gennum or a combination thereof, for each Tundra Share, subject to pro ration. A Special Committee meeting, with Citigroup and Osler in attendance, was held shortly thereafter at which the Special Committee determined that the revised Gennum proposal offered greater consideration to Tundra Shareholders than the consideration proposed in the IDT expression of interest. Immediately following the Special Committee meeting, the Board of Directors (other than Mr. Shlapak) met, with Citigroup and Osler in attendance and, based in part on the recommendation of the Special Committee, resolved to enter into an amendment to the Gennum Agreement. Tundra and Gennum entered into an amendment to the Gennum Agreement pursuant to which Gennum increased the consideration offered for the Tundra Shares in the Gennum Agreement (the “Amended Gennum Agreement”). Pursuant to the Amended Gennum Agreement, Tundra discontinued discussions with IDT and suspended IDT’s access to Tundra’s confidential information at such time. On April 17, 2009, a press release detailing the Amended Gennum Agreement was disseminated prior to the opening of trading on the TSX.

On April 18, 2009, IDT submitted to Tundra a modified unsolicited, non-binding expression of interest to acquire all of the Tundra Shares by way of an arrangement between IDT and Tundra at a price of $6.25 in cash per Tundra Share, subject to due diligence and certain other conditions. The Special Committee met later that day, with Citigroup and Osler in attendance, and determined that the IDT modified expression of interest was an Acquisition Proposal that was reasonably likely to constitute a Superior Proposal. The Board of Directors (other than Mr. Shlapak) met subsequent to the Special Committee meeting, with Citigroup and Osler in attendance, and determined, based in part upon the recommendation of the Special Committee, that the IDT modified expression of interest was an Acquisition Proposal reasonably likely to constitute a Superior Proposal and IDT recommenced its due diligence. Tundra notified Gennum of IDT’s modified expression of interest in accordance with the Amended Gennum Agreement.

On April 21, 2009, legal counsel for IDT delivered a first draft of the Arrangement Agreement to Tundra and its advisors. Between April 21, 2009 and April 25, 2009, legal advisors to Tundra and IDT exchanged drafts of both the Arrangement Agreement and the form of Voting Support Agreement. IDT continued its due diligence process until the end of April 25, 2009, at which time IDT’s access to Tundra’s confidential information expired in accordance with the Amended Gennum Agreement.

On April 23, 2009, the management of Tundra met with the management of IDT to receive an overview of IDT from an operational and financial perspective, the IDT business plan going forward and the post-acquisition strategy proposed by IDT and to provide IDT with information regarding the Tundra business. Following the presentations, management of Tundra discussed the perceived benefits and risks of the proposed transaction with IDT in light of the information provided in the presentations.

On April 25, 2009, the board of directors of IDT, having considered the results of IDT’s due diligence and considered the potential benefits and risks of a possible transaction with Tundra, met, with Latham, McCarthys and Barclays in attendance, to receive an update on these matters and to review the draft of the Arrangement Agreement. At that meeting, the board of directors of IDT unanimously resolved to authorize IDT to make a definitive offer to Tundra at $6.25 per share in an all-cash transaction, with such offer subject to the Matching Period set forth in the Amended Gennum Agreement and the final approval of the board of directors of IDT. IDT then submitted to Tundra an Acquisition Proposal in the form of a cover letter and definitive arrangement agreement pursuant to which IDT would acquire all of the Tundra Shares at a cash price of $6.25 per share, with such offer subject to the Matching Period set forth in the Amended Gennum Agreement and the final approval of the board of directors of IDT.

The Special Committee met later that evening, with Citigroup and Osler in attendance. Prior to the meeting, Citigroup provided materials relating to its oral presentation to the Special Committee and Board of Directors. At the meeting, representatives of Citigroup made an oral presentation to the Special Committee on the financial terms of the Arrangement. Citigroup provided its opinion to the Special Committee that, as of April 25, 2009 and based on certain assumptions, qualifications and limitations, it was of the opinion that the consideration to be received under the Arrangement was fair, from a financial point of view, to the Tundra Shareholders. The Special Committee also received an overview from Osler as to the terms of the Arrangement Agreement. The Special Committee unanimously concluded, based in part on the opinion of Citigroup, that the consideration to be received under the Arrangement was fair, from a financial point of view, to Tundra Shareholders, and to recommend to the Board of Directors that the IDT Acquisition Proposal constituted a Superior Proposal.

The Board of Directors (other than Mr. Shlapak) met subsequent to the Special Committee meeting, with Citigroup and Osler in attendance, for the purpose of reviewing the IDT Acquisition Proposal and receiving the recommendation of the Special Committee. Citigroup reiterated its oral fairness opinion and Osler provided a summary overview of the Arrangement Agreement for the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors determined that the IDT Acquisition Proposal constituted a Superior Proposal in accordance with the Amended Gennum Agreement and notified Gennum in writing. This notification triggered the five business day Matching Period for Gennum.

On April 27, 2009, the IDT Acquisition Proposal was publicly announced by Tundra via a press release disseminated on Canadian Corporate News and subsequently filed on SEDAR.

On April 29, 2009, Gennum notified Tundra that Gennum would not exercise its right under the Amended Gennum Agreement to match the IDT Acquisition Proposal. As a result, on April 30, 2009, Tundra paid the $5,000,000 termination fee to Gennum in accordance with the Amended Gennum Agreement and terminated the Amended Gennum Agreement in accordance with its terms. Tundra, IDT and Acquisition Sub contemporaneously entered into the Arrangement Agreement. A joint IDT/Tundra press release was disseminated shortly thereafter announcing the Arrangement.

Recommendation of the Special Committee

Having undertaken a thorough review of, and carefully considered, the Arrangement, including consulting with financial and independent legal advisors, the Special Committee unanimously concluded that the

 

23


Arrangement is fair to the Tundra Shareholders and in the best interests of Tundra and unanimously recommended that the Board of Directors approve the Arrangement and recommend that the Tundra Shareholders vote FOR the Arrangement Resolution.

Recommendation of the Directors

Having received and considered the recommendation of the Special Committee, the Directors (other than Mr. Fred Shlapak, who is an interested Director and who did not participate in the decision), unanimously concluded that the Arrangement is fair to the Tundra Shareholders and in the best interests of Tundra and have authorized the submission of the Arrangement to the Tundra Shareholders for their approval at the Meeting. The Directors have determined unanimously (other than Mr. Fred Shlapak, who is an interested Director and who did not participate in the decision) to recommend to the Tundra Shareholders that they vote FOR the Arrangement Resolution. Each Director has agreed to vote his Tundra Shares, if any, FOR the Arrangement Resolution.

Reasons for the Arrangement

In evaluating and approving the Arrangement, the Special Committee and the Directors (other than Mr. Fred Shlapak, who is an interested Director and who did not participate in the decision) considered and relied upon a number of factors including the following:

 

   

The Consideration values Tundra at $6.25 per Tundra Share, a premium of 12.9% to Tundra’s 5-day volume weighted average price on the TSX ended April 24, 2009, the day before the IDT offer was submitted to Tundra, and a 108.3% premium to Tundra’s 5-day volume weighted average price on the TSX ended on March 18, 2009, the day before the announcement of Gennum’s initial offer.

 

   

The IDT offer constitutes a premium of 12% over Gennum’s amended offer, based on Gennum’s 5-day volume weighted average price on the TSX ended April 24, 2009 of $4.5904 per Gennum common share and a premium of 13% over Gennum’s amended offer, based on the closing price on the TSX of $4.48 per Gennum common share on April 24, 2009.

 

   

Tundra lacks the scale to effectively compete with larger competitors in its sectors and to drive long term growth and, due to its small scale, has an inability to design products at 0.45 nm as the cost of development to 0.45 nm or less would be prohibitive relative to the R&D budget of Tundra. The size of IDT is expected to permit such development costs and strengthen competitive positioning.

 

   

The opinion of the Special Committee’s financial advisor, Citigroup, to the effect that, as of April 25, 2009, and based upon and subject to the analyses, assumptions, qualifications and limitations set forth therein, the Consideration to be received under the Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Tundra Shareholders.

 

   

The terms of the Arrangement Agreement were the result of arm’s-length negotiations with IDT and the Special Committee was kept apprised of the status of such negotiations.

 

   

The Special Committee received the advice and guidance of external legal counsel, Osler, and Tundra’s financial advisor, Citigroup, throughout the process.

 

   

Tundra Shareholders will receive all cash as payment of the Consideration which provides certainty of value compared to a transaction in which shareholders would receive all or part of the consideration in shares.

 

   

Holders of In-The-Money Tundra Options and Tundra RSUs will receive cash payments substantially equivalent to the value of such security based on the consideration to be received for each Tundra Share under the Arrangement.

 

   

Holders of Out-Of-The-Money Tundra Options will receive Replacement Options having an economic value substantially equivalent on a per option basis to the value of the Out-Of-The-Money Tundra Options.

 

24


   

The lack of any required approval by IDT’s shareholders to complete the Arrangement, and the determination that IDT has the available resources, ability and desire to complete the Arrangement in a timely manner.

 

   

It is unlikely that a third party will offer a more compelling alternative than the Arrangement.

 

 

 

The Arrangement Resolution must be approved by 66 2/3% of Tundra Shareholders present in person, or represented by proxy, at the Meeting.

 

   

Registered Tundra Shareholders who do not vote in favour of the Arrangement will have the right to require a judicial appraisal of their Tundra Shares and obtain “fair value” pursuant to the exercise of the Dissent Rights under the Arrangement.

 

   

The absence of any material competition or other regulatory issues expected to arise in connection with the Arrangement so as to prevent its completion.

 

   

Completion of the Arrangement will be subject to approval of the Court which will consider, among other things, the fairness of the Arrangement to Tundra Shareholders.

 

   

Under the Arrangement Agreement, the Directors are able to respond, in accordance with their fiduciary duties, to an unsolicited Acquisition Proposal that the Directors determine could reasonably be expected to constitute a Superior Proposal. The terms of the Arrangement Agreement, including the Termination Fee payable to IDT in certain circumstances, are reasonable and not, in the opinion of the Special Committee, preclusive of other proposals.

The Special Committee and the Directors (other than Mr. Fred Shlapak, who is an interested Director and who did not participate in the decision) also considered a number of risks and potential negative factors relating to the Arrangement including the following:

 

   

The risks to Tundra if the Arrangement is not completed, including the costs to Tundra in pursuing the Arrangement and the diversion of management’s attention away from the conduct of Tundra’s business in the ordinary course. In addition, if Tundra is required to pay the Termination Fee to IDT and an alternative transaction is not concluded, Tundra’s financial condition may be materially and adversely affected.

 

   

IDT’s and Acquisition Sub’s obligations under the Arrangement are subject to certain conditions and Acquisition Sub has the right to terminate the Arrangement Agreement in certain circumstances.

 

   

If the Arrangement Agreement is terminated and the Directors decide to seek another business combination, Tundra may be unable to find a party willing to pay greater or equivalent value compared to the Consideration available to Tundra Shareholders under the Arrangement.

 

   

If the Arrangement is successfully completed, Tundra will no longer exist as a public company.

Fairness Opinion

Tundra entered into an engagement letter dated January 30, 2008 with Citigroup pursuant to which, among other things, Citigroup agreed to provide the Special Committee with its opinion as to whether the consideration under the Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Tundra Shareholders.

Under its engagement letter with Citigroup, Tundra agreed to pay Citigroup a fee related to the delivery of a fairness opinion and a fee if the Arrangement is consummated. Citigroup is also to be reimbursed for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. In addition, Tundra has agreed to indemnify Citigroup and certain related persons against certain liabilities in connection with its engagement. Other than in connection with the Arrangement, Citigroup and its affiliates have not provided financial advisory services to Tundra in the past three years.

Citigroup acts as a trader and dealer, both as principal and agent, in major financial markets and, as such, may have had and may in the future have positions in the securities of Tundra, IDT or any of their respective associates or affiliates and, from time to time, may have executed or may execute transactions on behalf of such companies or other clients for which it received or may receive compensation. As an investment dealer, Citigroup conducts research on securities and may, in the ordinary course of its business, provide research reports and investment advice to its clients on investment matters, including with respect to Tundra, IDT or the Arrangement.

 

25


At the meeting of the Special Committee held on April 25, 2009, Citigroup made a presentation to the Special Committee and advised the Special Committee that, as of that date and based upon certain analyses, assumptions, qualifications and limitations, in its opinion, the Consideration under the Arrangement was fair, from a financial point of view, to the Tundra Shareholders.

The full text of the Fairness Opinion, which sets forth the assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations on the review undertaken in connection with the Fairness Opinion, is attached as Appendix D to this Circular. IDT did not review or pass on any aspect of the Fairness Opinion prior to its delivery by Citigroup to the Special Committee and the Board of Directors. Citigroup provided its Fairness Opinion for the information and assistance of the Special Committee and the Board of Directors in connection with its evaluation of the Arrangement. The Fairness Opinion addresses only the fairness of the consideration under the Arrangement as of the date of the opinion, is for the information of the Special Committee and the Board of Directors in connection with its consideration of the proposed Arrangement only, and does not constitute and is not intended to constitute an opinion for the benefit of Tundra Shareholders or a recommendation as to how Tundra Shareholders should vote at the Meeting. This summary of the Fairness Opinion is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Fairness Opinion. Tundra Shareholders are urged to read the Fairness Opinion in its entirety.

Arrangement Mechanics

The following description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Plan of Arrangement, which is attached as Appendix C to this Circular. The Arrangement Agreement provides for the acquisition of Tundra by IDT, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Acquisition Sub, by way of plan of arrangement under Section 192 of the CBCA. The following transactions, among others, will occur and will be deemed to occur in the order and at the times set out in the Plan of Arrangement commencing at the Effective Time, if all conditions of the implementation of the Arrangement have been satisfied or waived:

 

   

Tundra will accelerate the vesting of each outstanding, unvested In-The-Money Tundra Option in accordance with the terms of the applicable Tundra Stock Option Plan immediately following which each unexercised In-The-Money Tundra Option, without any further action on behalf of any holder of such In-The-Money Tundra Option and without any payment except as provided in the Plan of Arrangement, and subject to (for greater certainty) applicable withholdings, will be transferred by the holder thereof to Tundra in consideration for a cash payment by Tundra equal to the product obtained by multiplying the number of Tundra Shares underlying such In-The-Money Tundra Option by the amount by which the Consideration per Tundra Share exceeds the exercise price of such In-The-Money Tundra Option. Each In-The-Money Tundra Option issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will thereafter be immediately cancelled.

 

   

Notwithstanding any contingent vesting provisions to which a Tundra RSU might otherwise have been subject, and without any further action on behalf of any holder of such Tundra RSU and without any payment except as provided in the Plan of Arrangement, Tundra will accelerate the vesting of each outstanding, unvested Tundra RSU in accordance with the terms of the Tundra Restricted Share Unit Plan and Tundra will, subject to (for greater certainty) applicable withholdings, deliver to each holder of a Tundra RSU outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time an amount equal to the Consideration in cash in settlement of each such Tundra RSU. Each Tundra RSU issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will thereafter be immediately cancelled and all Tundra RSU agreements related thereto will be immediately terminated.

 

   

Each Tundra Share (other than those held by a Dissenting Shareholder or Acquisition Sub) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be transferred to Acquisition Sub and each holder thereof will be entitled to receive in exchange therefor $6.25 in cash, less applicable withholdings, for each Tundra Share held and the names of the holders of the Tundra Shares transferred to Acquisition Sub will be removed from the register of holders of Tundra Shares, and Acquisition Sub will be recorded as the registered holder of the Tundra Shares so acquired and will be the legal and beneficial owner thereof.

 

   

Each Out-Of-The-Money Tundra Option, whether or not vested, without any further action on behalf of any holder of such Out-Of-The-Money Tundra Option, will be exchanged for an option (a “Replacement

 

26


 

Option”) to purchase from IDT the number of IDT Shares (rounded down to the nearest whole number of such shares) equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the Exchange Ratio by (ii) the number of Tundra Shares subject to such Out-Of-The-Money Tundra Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, and each holder of such exchanged Out-Of-The-Money Tundra Option will immediately become a holder of the number of Replacement Options to which such holder is entitled as a result of the exchange and each such exchanged Out-Of-The-Money Tundra Option will be immediately cancelled. Such Replacement Option will provide for an exercise price per IDT Share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) in U.S. dollars equal to (a) the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the exercise price per Tundra Share of such Out-Of-The-Money Tundra Option immediately prior to the Effective Time by (ii) the Exchange Ratio, divided by (b) the Currency Exchange Rate and, except as otherwise set out in the Plan of Arrangement, each Replacement Option will continue to be governed by the terms and conditions of the applicable Tundra Stock Option Plan and any stock option agreement pursuant to which such Tundra Option was granted (including, but not limited to, the term to expiry, conditions to and manner of exercising and vesting schedule).

If (a) the Tundra Shareholder Approval is obtained, (b) the Final Order is obtained, and (c) all other conditions under the Arrangement Agreement are satisfied or waived, the Articles of Arrangement will be filed and the Arrangement will become effective on the Effective Date. Tundra, IDT and Acquisition Sub currently expect that the Effective Date will be on or about June 29, 2009.

Lost Certificates

If a Tundra Share certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Letter of Transmittal should be completed as fully as possible and forwarded to the Depositary together with an affidavit made by the person claiming the loss describing the fact that the certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed. The Depositary will respond with the replacement requirements, which will include giving a bond satisfactory to IDT, Acquisition Sub and the Depositary in such amount as IDT and Acquisition Sub may direct, or otherwise indemnifying IDT, Acquisition Sub and Tundra in a manner satisfactory to IDT, Acquisition Sub and Tundra, against any claim that may be made against IDT, Acquisition Sub and Tundra with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

Cancellation of Rights after Six Years

In accordance with the Plan of Arrangement, any certificate which immediately before the Effective Time represented Tundra Shares and which has not been surrendered, together with all other documents required by the Depositary, on or before the sixth anniversary of the Effective Date, will cease to represent any claim by or interest of any Former Tundra Shareholder of any kind or nature against or in Tundra, IDT or Acquisition Sub. Accordingly, persons who deposit certificates for Tundra Shares after the sixth anniversary of the Effective Date will not receive cash and will not own any interest in IDT, Acquisition Sub or Tundra.

Any payment made by way of cheque (or otherwise) by the Depositary on behalf of IDT, Acquisition Sub or Tundra pursuant to the Arrangement that has not been deposited or has been returned to the Depositary or that otherwise remains unclaimed, in each case, on or before the sixth anniversary of the Effective Date, and any right or claim to payment under the Arrangement that remains outstanding on the sixth anniversary of the Effective Date will cease to represent a right or claim of any kind or nature and the right of the Former Tundra Shareholder to receive the Consideration for the Tundra Shares pursuant to the Arrangement will terminate and be deemed to be surrendered and forfeited to Acquisition Sub for no consideration.

Delivery Requirements

The method of delivery of Tundra Share certificates, the Letter of Transmittal and all other required documents is at the option and risk of the Tundra Shareholder surrendering them. Tundra recommends that such documents be delivered by hand to the Depositary, at the office noted in the Letter of Transmittal, and a receipt obtained therefor or, if mailed, that registered mail, with return receipt requested, be used and that proper insurance be obtained. Tundra Shareholders holding Tundra Shares registered in the name of an Intermediary must contact such Intermediary to arrange for the surrender of their Tundra Share certificates.

 

27


Delivery of the Consideration

In the case of a Registered Shareholder, as soon as practicable after the Effective Date, assuming due delivery of the required documentation, including the applicable Tundra Share certificate(s) and a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal, the Depositary will forward a cheque (or other form of immediately available funds) representing the amount of cash such Registered Shareholder is entitled to receive under the Arrangement for its Tundra Shares, less any amounts withheld, by first class mail, postage prepaid, to the address of such Registered Shareholder as shown on the register maintained by the Transfer Agent or as directed in the Letter of Transmittal, unless such Registered Shareholder indicates in the Letter of Transmittal that it wishes to pick up the cheque. Under no circumstances will interest accrue or be paid by Tundra, IDT, Acquisition Sub or the Depositary to persons depositing Tundra Shares pursuant to the Arrangement regardless of any delay in making such payment.

As of the Effective Time, each certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented Tundra Shares will be deemed after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive cash, upon surrender, on or before the sixth anniversary of the Effective Date.

Non-Registered Shareholders should contact their Intermediaries regarding delivery of the Consideration.

Certain Effects of the Arrangement

Upon completion of the Arrangement, Acquisition Sub will acquire all of the issued and outstanding Tundra Shares and Tundra will be a wholly-owned, indirect subsidiary of IDT. Shortly after consummation of the Arrangement, the Tundra Shares will cease to be listed on the TSX and trading of the Tundra Shares in the public market will no longer be possible. IDT will seek to have Tundra be deemed to have ceased to be a reporting issuer under Canadian Securities Laws. Tundra will also cease to be required to file continuous disclosure documents with Canadian Securities Administrators upon ceasing to be a reporting issuer in Canada.

For a discussion of certain Canadian federal income tax considerations relating to the disposition of Tundra Shares, please see “Certain Tax Considerations for Securityholders — Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations” in this Circular.

Effects on Tundra if the Arrangement is Not Completed

If the Arrangement is not approved by the Tundra Shareholders or if the Arrangement is not completed for any other reason, Tundra Shareholders will not receive any consideration for their Tundra Shares in connection with the Arrangement. Instead, Tundra will remain a public company and the Tundra Shares will continue to be listed and traded on the TSX. If the Arrangement is not completed, it is expected that Tundra’s management will operate Tundra in a manner similar to that in which it was being operated prior to the date of the Arrangement Agreement and that Tundra Shareholders will continue to be subject to the same risks and opportunities currently facing Tundra. There can be no assurance as to the effect of these risks and opportunities on the future trading price or value of the Tundra Shares. The Directors would continue to evaluate and review, among other things, the performance of Tundra’s business and the capitalization of Tundra and would make such changes as are deemed appropriate. In addition, Tundra could be required to pay Acquisition Sub the Termination Fee if the Arrangement Agreement is terminated in certain circumstances, including, but not limited to, if the Directors make a Change in Recommendation in certain circumstances or Tundra enters into an agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal in certain circumstances. See “The Arrangement Agreement — Termination Fees and Expenses” in this Circular.

Tundra Shareholder Approval

At the Meeting, Tundra Shareholders will be asked to vote to approve the Arrangement Resolution. Pursuant to the Interim Order, the Arrangement Resolution must be approved by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the votes cast at the Meeting by Tundra Shareholders present in person, or represented by proxy, and entitled to vote at the Meeting (the “Tundra Shareholder Approval”).

The Arrangement Resolution must receive Tundra Shareholder Approval in order for Tundra to seek the Final Order and implement the Arrangement on the Effective Date in accordance with the Final Order.

 

28


Notwithstanding the approval by Tundra Shareholders of the Arrangement Resolution, Tundra reserves the right not to proceed with the Arrangement, subject to and in accordance with the terms of the Arrangement Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement.

Sources of Funds for the Arrangement

Assuming no Tundra Shareholders exercise their Dissent Rights and 19,326,053 Tundra Shares are outstanding at the Effective Time and that no In-the-Money Tundra Options are exercised prior to the Effective Time, under the terms of the Arrangement Agreement:

 

  1. approximately $120.8 million will be required to fund the Consideration for Acquisition Sub’s acquisition of all of the outstanding Tundra Shares; and

 

  2. approximately $2,925,138 will be required to fund Tundra’s payments in respect of the outstanding Tundra RSUs and In-The-Money Tundra Options.

IDT’s Cash on Hand

IDT will indirectly fund the portion of the aggregate cash to be paid for the Tundra Shares by Acquisition Sub from its cash on hand.

Tundra’s Cash on Hand

Pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement, Tundra will use an aggregate of approximately $2,925,138 from its cash on hand to pay the aggregate cash to be paid for all outstanding Tundra RSUs and In-The-Money Tundra Options in accordance with the Plan of Arrangement, approximately $1,691,146 and $1,233,992, respectively, assuming that no In-The-Money Tundra Options are exercised.

Voting Support Agreement

The Voting Support Agreement can be found on the SEDAR website at www.sedar.com. The following is only a summary of the Voting Support Agreement and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Voting Support Agreement.

The Directors and executive officers of Tundra have entered into a Voting Support Agreement with IDT and Acquisition Sub pursuant to which they have agreed, on and subject to the terms thereof, among other things, to vote their Tundra Shares at any meeting of the Tundra Shareholders and in any action by written consent of the Tundra Shareholders in favour of the Transactions, against any action that would impede, delay, interfere with or discourage the Transactions, and against any action that would result in any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of Tundra in the Arrangement Agreement. Pursuant to the Voting Agreement, the Directors and executive officers of Tundra have also agreed not to (i) solicit, provide information to any person, entity or group, or take any other similar action relating to any Acquisition Proposal, (ii) sell or transfer any of their Tundra Shares to any person, or (iii) grant a security interest over their Tundra Shares or grant any proxies or powers of attorney or deposit any of their Tundra Shares into a voting agreement, pooling agreement or arrangement, without the prior written consent of Acquisition Sub, which consent is within the sole discretion of Acquisition Sub and may be unreasonably withheld. The Directors and executive officers of Tundra have also agreed to vote their Tundra Shares against any proposed action by Tundra or the Tundra Shareholders or any other person that might reasonably be regarded as likely to impede or delay the successful completion of the Arrangement.

Additionally, each of the Directors and executive officers of Tundra has agreed to execute and not revoke forms of proxy upon Acquisition Sub’s request or direction, in respect of all matters including any action that would impede, interfere with or discourage the Arrangement.

The obligations of the Directors and executive officers of Tundra pursuant to the Voting Support Agreement will terminate automatically upon termination of the Arrangement Agreement.

IDT and Acquisition Sub may, at any time and without prejudice to any other rights it may have, terminate such Voting Support Agreement by notice in writing.

 

29


Confidentiality Agreement

In connection with their mutual consideration of a possible transaction, IDT and Tundra entered into the Confidentiality Agreements on January 23, 2009 and April 15, 2009 (with the terms of the agreement dated April 15, 2009 governing to the extent of discrepancy with the agreement dated January 23, 2009). On and subject to the terms and conditions of the Confidentiality Agreement, each of IDT and Tundra agreed, among other things:

 

   

that it, and its directors, officers, employees, agents or advisors (collectively, “Representatives”) will treat in accordance with the provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement, including provisions relating to confidentiality, information concerning the other company, its affiliates and subsidiaries furnished to it;

 

   

that, without the prior consent of the other company, it will not, and it will direct its Representatives not to, disclose to any person that information concerning the other company had been made available to it or its Representatives;

 

   

that the information furnished was being provided without any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to its accuracy or completeness on the part of either company;

 

   

that neither company, nor any of either company’s respective affiliates or Representatives, will have any liability to the other company or its respective Representatives, under contract, tort, trust or otherwise, resulting from use of the material furnished relating to such other company or omissions therefrom;

 

   

that the scope of any representations and warranties to be given by either company would be negotiated along with other terms and conditions in arriving at a mutually acceptable form of definitive agreement should discussions between the companies progress to such a point; and

 

   

to certain employee non-solicitation covenants and certain “standstill” covenants in respect of the other company.

Interests of Directors, Executive Officers and Others in the Arrangement

In considering the recommendations of the Special Committee and Directors (other than Mr. Shlapak, who is an interested Director and who did not participate in the decision) with respect to the Arrangement, Tundra Shareholders should be aware that certain of the Directors and executive officers of Tundra may have interests that differ from those of Tundra Shareholders. The Special Committee and the Directors (other than Mr. Shlapak, who is an interested Director and who did not participate in the decision) were aware of these interests and considered them along with other matters in reaching their decision to approve the Arrangement and to recommend that Tundra Shareholders vote in favour of the Arrangement Resolution. Except as described below, to the knowledge of Tundra, the Directors and executive officers have no material interest in the Arrangement that differs from the interests of Tundra Shareholders generally.

Tundra Shareholdings

As of May 15, 2009, the Directors and executive officers of Tundra beneficially owned, or exercised control or direction over, directly or indirectly, in the aggregate, 101,673 Tundra Shares, which represented approximately 0.5% of the total number of outstanding Tundra Shares. All Tundra Shares held by the Directors and executive officers of Tundra will be treated identically and in the same manner under the Arrangement as Tundra Shares held by any other Tundra Shareholder.

All Out-Of-The-Money Tundra Options held by the Directors and executive officers of Tundra will be exchanged for Replacement Options in the same manner under the Arrangement as Out-Of-The-Money Tundra Options held by every other holder of Out-Of-The-Money Tundra Options. See “The Arrangement — Arrangement Mechanics” and “Information Concerning IDT — Description of IDT’s Capital Structure — Replacement Options” in this Circular.

The following table sets forth the number of vested and unvested Out-Of-The-Money Tundra Options held by each Director and executive officer of Tundra and the expected number of IDT Shares that would be subject to the Replacement Options received for all such Out-Of-The-Money Tundra Options, based on the May 15 Assumed IDT VWAP. The Out-Of-The-Money Tundra Options held by the Directors and executive officers have exercise prices ranging between $7.47 and $24.23 and the exercise prices for the Replacement Options to be received by the Directors and officers would range between US$6.45 and US$20.90 based on the May 15 Assumed IDT VWAP and the Currency Exchange Rate as of May 15, 2009. The IDT VWAP for purposes of the Plan of Arrangement cannot be determined as of the date of this Circular and may differ from the May 15 Assumed IDT VWAP and the Currency Exchange Rate as of May 15, 2009.

THE ARRANGEMENT AGREEMENT

The following is a summary of certain material terms of the Arrangement Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Appendix B to this Circular. This summary and certain capitalized terms referred to in the summary do not contain all of the information about the Arrangement Agreement. Therefore, Tundra Shareholders should read the Arrangement Agreement carefully and in its entirety, as the rights and obligations of Tundra, IDT and Acquisition Sub are governed by the express terms of the Arrangement Agreement and not by this summary or any other information contained in this Circular.

The Arrangement Agreement contains representations and warranties made by Tundra, IDT and Acquisition Sub. These representations and warranties, which are set forth in the Arrangement Agreement, were made by and to the parties thereto for the purposes of the Arrangement Agreement (and not to other persons such as Tundra Shareholders) and are subject to qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating and entering into the Arrangement Agreement. In addition, these representations and warranties were made as of specified dates, may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from what may be viewed as material to Tundra Shareholders, or may have been used for the purpose of allocating risk between the parties instead of establishing such matters as facts. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties, which do not purport to be accurate as of the date of this Circular, may have changed since the date of the Arrangement Agreement.

On April 30, 2009, Tundra, IDT and Acquisition Sub entered into the Arrangement Agreement, under which it was agreed that, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Arrangement Agreement, Acquisition Sub will acquire all of the issued and outstanding Tundra Shares as part of the Plan of Arrangement, under which Tundra Shareholders (other than Dissenting Shareholders) will receive $6.25 in cash, less applicable withholdings, for each Tundra Share held (subject to adjustments as contemplated by the Plan of Arrangement and further discussed below). The terms of the Arrangement Agreement are the result of arm’s-length negotiations conducted between Tundra, IDT and Acquisition Sub and their respective advisors.

At the Effective Time, Tundra will accelerate the vesting of each outstanding, unvested In-The-Money Tundra Option in accordance with the terms of the applicable Tundra Stock Option Plan immediately following which each unexercised In-The-Money Tundra Option, without any further action on behalf of any holder of such In-The-Money Tundra Option and without any payment except as provided in the Plan of Arrangement, will be transferred by the holder thereof to Tundra in consideration for a cash payment, subject to (for greater certainty) applicable withholdings, by Tundra equal to the product obtained by multiplying the number of Tundra Shares underlying such In-The-Money Tundra Option by the amount by which the Consideration per Tundra Share exceeds the exercise price of such In-The-Money Tundra Option. Each unexercised In-The Money Tundra Option issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will thereafter be immediately cancelled.

Five minutes thereafter, notwithstanding any contingent vesting provisions to which a Tundra RSU might otherwise have been subject, without any further action on behalf of any holder of such Tundra RSU and without any payment except as provided in the Plan of Arrangement, Tundra will accelerate the vesting of each outstanding, unvested Tundra RSU in accordance with the terms of the Tundra Restricted Share Unit Plan and Tundra will, subject to (for greater certainty) applicable withholdings, deliver to each holder of a Tundra RSU outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time an amount equal to the Consideration in cash in settlement of each such RSU. Each Tundra RSU issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will thereafter be immediately cancelled and all Tundra RSU agreements related thereto will be immediately terminated and the holder thereof will thereafter have only the right to receive the consideration to which such holder is entitled pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement. The Tundra Restricted Share Unit Plan will be terminated and none of Tundra, IDT, Acquisition Sub or any of their affiliates will have any liabilities or obligations with respect to such plan except pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement.

Five minutes thereafter, (i) each Tundra Share held by a Dissenting Shareholder immediately prior to the Effective Time will be deemed to be transferred by the holder thereof, without any act or formality on its part, free and clear of all liens, to Acquisition Sub and Acquisition Sub will thereupon be obliged to pay the amount therefor determined and payable in accordance with the procedure described in the Plan of Arrangement, and the name of such holder will be removed from the register of holders of Tundra Shares and Acquisition Sub will

 

34


be recorded as the registered holder of the Tundra Shares so transferred and will be deemed to be the legal and beneficial owner of such Tundra Shares, and (ii) each Tundra Share (other than those held by a Dissenting Shareholder or Acquisition Sub) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be transferred to Acquisition Sub and each holder thereof will be entitled to receive $6.25 in cash, less applicable withholdings, for each Tundra Share held and the names of such holders of the Tundra Shares transferred to Acquisition Sub will be removed from the register of holders of Tundra Shares, and Acquisition Sub will be recorded as the registered holder of the Tundra Shares so transferred and will be the legal and beneficial owner thereof.

Five minutes thereafter, each Out-Of-The-Money Tundra Option, without any further action on behalf of any holder of such Out-Of-The-Money Tundra Option, will be exchanged for a Replacement Option to purchase from IDT the number of ITD Shares (rounded down to the nearest whole number of such shares) equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the Exchange Ratio by (ii) the number of Tundra Shares subject to such Out-Of-The-Money Tundra Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, and each holder of such exchanged Out-Of-The-Money Tundra Option will immediately become a holder of the number of Replacement Options to which such holder is entitled as a result of the exchange and each such exchanged Out-Of-The-Money Tundra Option will be immediately cancelled. Such Replacement Option will provide for an exercise price per ITD Share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) in United States dollars equal to (i) the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the exercise price per Tundra Share of such Out-Of-The-Money Tundra Option immediately prior to the Effective Time by (y) the Exchange Ratio, divided by (ii) the Currency Exchange Rate. Except as otherwise set out in the Plan of Arrangement, each Replacement Option will continue to be governed by the terms and conditions of the Tundra Stock Option Plan and any stock option agreement pursuant to which such Tundra Option was granted (including, but not limited to, the term to expiry, conditions to and manner of exercising and vesting schedule), with any adjustments deemed to be made thereto as are necessary to ensure consistency with the provisions of the Plan of Arrangement.

Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, with respect to: (a) any Out-Of-The-Money Tundra Option, if the directors of IDT determine in good faith that the excess of the aggregate fair market value of the ITD Shares subject to the Replacement Option immediately after the issuance of the Replacement Option over the aggregate option exercise price for such shares pursuant to the Replacement Option (such excess, referred to as the “Post-Exchange Option Value”) would otherwise exceed the excess of the aggregate fair market value of the Tundra Shares subject to such Tundra Option immediately before the issuance of the Replacement Option over the aggregate option exercise price for such shares pursuant to such Tundra Option (such excess, referred to as the “Pre-Exchange Option Value”), the exchange of the Out-Of-The Money Tundra Options will be modified, but only to the extent necessary and in a manner that does not otherwise adversely affect the holder of the Replacement Option, so that the Post-Exchange Option Value does not exceed the Pre-Exchange Option Value; and (b) an Out-Of-The-Money Tundra Option that is held by a resident of the United States, the exercise price and the number of ITD Shares subject to a Replacement Option will be determined in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code; provided, further, that in the case of any such Out-Of-The-Money Tundra Option which was an incentive stock option (as defined in Section 422 of the Code) immediately prior to the Effective Time, the exercise price, the number of ITD Shares and the terms and conditions of the Replacement Option will be determined in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 424(a) of the Code.

  (x) except in accordance with the Arrangement Agreement, enter into any transaction or perform any act that could reasonably be expected to interfere with, delay or be inconsistent with the consummation of the Transactions or which would render, or which may reasonably be expected to render, untrue or inaccurate (without giving effect to, applying or taking into consideration any materiality or Material Adverse Effect qualification already contained within such representation or warranty) in any respect any of its representations and warranties set forth in the Arrangement Agreement;

 

  (y) approve, adopt or implement a shareholder rights plan or similar poison pill arrangement; or

thereunder to lapse or change, unless simultaneously with such termination, cancellation, lapse or change, replacement policies providing similar or greater coverage are in full force and effect.

Covenants Regarding the Performance of Obligations

Tundra further agreed that it will, and it will cause its subsidiaries, to perform all obligations required or desirable to be performed by Tundra or any of its subsidiaries under the Arrangement Agreement and to co-operate with Acquisition Sub in connection therewith, in order to consummate and make effective, as soon as reasonably practicable, the Arrangement, including the following:

  (h) use commercially reasonable efforts to assist in effecting the resignations of the Tundra directors and cause them to be replaced following the issuance of the Articles of Arrangement but as of the Effective Date by persons nominated by Acquisition Sub;

 

  (i) at the request of Acquisition Sub, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all third person and other consents, waivers, permits, exemptions, orders, approvals, agreements, amendments and modifications to the Tundra Material Contracts and the other Contracts identified by Acquisition Sub (i) in connection with, or required to permit, the completion of the Arrangement and the Transactions and (ii) required to maintain the Tundra Material Contracts and the other Contracts identified by Acquisition Sub in full force and effect following completion of the Arrangement, in each case on terms that are reasonably satisfactory to Acquisition Sub, and without paying, and without committing itself or Acquisition Sub to pay any consideration or incur any liability or obligation to or in respect of any other such party without the prior written consent of Acquisition Sub;

 

41


  (j) at Acquisition Sub’s request, execute all documents, take all oaths and do all reasonable acts to enable Acquisition Sub, its successors, assigns and legal representatives to procure and maintain patent or any other intellectual property protection for owned Tundra intellectual property in any and all countries and to vest title thereto to Acquisition Sub, its successors, assigns and legal representatives following the issuance of the Articles of Arrangement but as of the Effective Date;

  (m) unless otherwise directed by Acquisition Sub, at least five business days prior to the Effective Time, take any and all actions required to terminate each Tundra Plan qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code and containing a Code Section 401(k) cash or deferred arrangement as of a date no later than one day prior to the Effective Time, which actions shall include providing to Acquisition Sub executed resolutions terminating such plan(s);

 

  (n) provide lists of beneficial and registered holders of Tundra Shares and any geographical reports prepared by its transfer agent and a list of holders of Tundra Options (with full particulars as to the purchase, exercise or conversion price, vesting and expiry date), as well as a security position listing from each depositary, including CDS, and deliver any such lists to Acquisition Sub promptly following the date of the Arrangement Agreement and promptly deliver to Acquisition Sub upon demand thereafter supplemental lists setting out changes thereto;

IDT and Acquisition Sub Covenants

Covenants Regarding the Conduct of Business

In the Arrangement Agreement, IDT and Acquisition Sub agreed that, during the Interim Period, except as required or permitted by the Arrangement Agreement, or as required by applicable Law or by a Governmental Entity they will not, other than with the prior written consent of Tundra, which consent shall not be withheld unreasonably:

 

  (a)

enter into any transaction or perform any act that could reasonably be expected to interfere with, delay or be inconsistent with the consummation of the Transactions or which would render, or which may reasonably be expected to render, untrue or inaccurate (without giving effect to, applying or taking into

 

42

  (b) adopt a plan of liquidation or resolutions providing for the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of IDT or Acquisition Sub; or

 

  (c) agree, announce, resolve or commit to do any of the foregoing.

Covenants Regarding the Performance of Obligations

IDT and Acquisition Sub further agreed that they will, and IDT will cause its subsidiaries to, perform all obligations required or desirable to be performed by IDT, Acquisition Sub or any of IDT’s subsidiaries under the Arrangement Agreement, and co-operate with Tundra in connection therewith in order to consummate and make effective, as soon as reasonably practicable, the Arrangement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, IDT and Acquisition Sub will and, where appropriate, IDT will cause its subsidiaries to:

 

  (a) promptly furnish to Tundra a copy of each notice, report, schedule or other document or communication delivered or filed by IDT or Acquisition Sub in connection with the Arrangement or the Meeting with any Governmental Entity;

 

  (b) oppose any injunction or restraining or other order seeking to stop, or otherwise adversely affecting IDT’s or Acquisition Sub’s ability to consummate, the Arrangement and defending, or causing to be defended, any Proceedings to which either entity is a party or brought against either entity or their directors or officers challenging the Arrangement Agreement or the consummation of the Arrangement and the transactions contemplated thereby;

 

  (c) promptly advise Tundra orally and, if then requested, in writing of any event, change or development occurring subsequent to the date of the Arrangement Agreement that, if made on or as of the date of such event or the Effective Date, would breach any representation or warranty or cause a failure to perform any covenant or agreement on the part of IDT or Acquisition Sub set forth in the Arrangement Agreement;

 

  (d) within 15 business days after the Effective Time, file a registration statement on Form S-8 (the “S-8 Registration Statement”) with the SEC to register the ITD Shares to be issued from time to time after the Effective Time upon exercise of Replacement Options issued pursuant to the terms of the Arrangement Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement; and IDT will use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the S-8 Registration Statement for so long as Replacement Options remain outstanding; and

 

  (e) prior to or in connection with the Effective Time, submit to NASDAQ a notification of additional shares with respect to the ITD Shares to be issued upon the due exercise of the Replacement Options.

Mutual Covenants

The Arrangement Agreement provides that, subject to the terms thereof, each of the parties to the Arrangement Agreement shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law to consummate the Transactions as soon as practicable, including:

 

   

using, and in the case of Tundra, causing its subsidiaries to use, commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy (or cause the satisfaction of) the conditions precedent to its obligations under the Arrangement Agreement to the extent the same is within its control and to take, or cause to be taken, all other actions and to do, or cause to be done, all other things necessary, proper or advisable under all applicable Laws to consummate the Arrangement;

 

   

carrying out the terms of the Interim Order and the Final Order applicable to it and complying promptly with all requirements which applicable Laws may impose on it or its subsidiaries with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement;

 

43


   

preparing and filing as promptly as practicable, and in any event prior to the expiration of any legal deadline, all necessary documents, registrations, statements, petitions, filings and applications for the Regulatory Approvals and using their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and maintain such Regulatory Approvals;

 

   

not taking any action, or permitting any action to be taken or reasonable action to not be taken, which is inconsistent with the Arrangement Agreement or which would reasonably be expected to significantly impede the completion of the Arrangement or to prevent or materially delay the completion of the transactions contemplated under the Arrangement Agreement or any Regulatory Approval, in each case, except as specifically permitted by the Arrangement Agreement; and

 

   

taking any action required to be taken under any applicable Securities Laws in connection with the ITD Shares to be issued from time to time after the Effective Time upon exercise of Replacement Options; provided, however, that no party will be required by reason of the foregoing to register or qualify as a foreign corporation or reporting issuer in any jurisdiction where such party is not now so registered or qualified.

Tundra, IDT and Acquisition Sub have also agreed to cooperate in the preparation of any application for the Regulatory Approvals and any other orders, clearances, consents, rulings, exemptions, no-action letters and approvals reasonably deemed to be necessary to discharge their respective obligations under the Arrangement Agreement or otherwise advisable under applicable Laws in connection with the Arrangement and the Arrangement Agreement.

In the event that any objections are asserted with respect to the Transactions under any applicable Law, or if any proceeding is instituted or threatened by any Governmental Entity challenging or which could lead to a challenge of any of the Transactions as violative of or not in compliance with the requirements of any applicable Law, Tundra, IDT and Acquisition Sub shall use their reasonable best efforts consistent with the terms of the Arrangement Agreement to resolve such proceeding so as to allow the Effective Time to occur on or prior to the Outside Date.

Non-Solicitation Obligations

The Arrangement Agreement provides that, subject to certain exceptions, Tundra shall not, directly or indirectly through any officer, director, employee, representative (including any financial or other advisor) or agent of Tundra or any of its subsidiaries:

 

   

solicit, facilitate, encourage or initiate any inquiries or proposals regarding, or that may reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal;

 

   

encourage or participate in any discussions or negotiations, including by furnishing any information relating to Tundra or any of its subsidiaries or affording access to the business, properties, assets, books or records of Tundra or its subsidiaries, with any person (other than IDT or Acquisition Sub) regarding an Acquisition Proposal;

 

   

make a Change in Recommendation;

 

   

accept, approve, endorse or recommend, or propose publicly to accept, approve, endorse or recommend, any Acquisition Proposal; or

 

   

accept, approve, endorse, recommend or enter into, or publicly propose to accept, approve, endorse, recommend or enter into, any Contract in respect of an Acquisition Proposal (other than a confidentiality and standstill agreement permitted by the Arrangement Agreement).

An Acquisition Proposal is defined in the Arrangement Agreement as, other than the Transactions and any transaction involving only Tundra and/or one or more of its wholly owned subsidiaries, any offer, communication, announcement or indication of intention, proposal or inquiry (conditional or unconditional,

 

44


written or oral or otherwise) from any person or joint actors (other than IDT or any of its subsidiaries) relating to:

 

   

any direct or indirect acquisition or purchase, in a single transaction or a series of related transactions, of assets representing 20% or more of the consolidated assets or contributing 20% or more of the consolidated revenue of Tundra and its subsidiaries or 20% or more of the voting or equity securities of Tundra or any of its subsidiaries (or rights or interests therein or thereto) whose assets or revenues, individually or in the aggregate, constitute 20% or more of the consolidated assets or consolidated revenue, as applicable, of Tundra and its subsidiaries;

 

   

any direct or indirect take-over bid, exchange offer, treasury issuance, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction that, if consummated, would result in a person and its joint actors, if any, beneficially owning 20% or more of any class of voting or equity securities or any other equity interests (including securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for equity interests) of Tundra or any of its subsidiaries whose assets or revenues, individually or in the aggregate, constitute 20% or more of the consolidated assets or consolidated revenue, as applicable, of Tundra and its subsidiaries; or

 

   

a plan of arrangement, merger, amalgamation, consolidation, share exchange, business combination, reorganization, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or other similar transaction involving Tundra or any of its subsidiaries whose assets or revenues, individually or in the aggregate, constitute 20% or more of the consolidated assets or consolidated revenue, as applicable, of Tundra and its subsidiaries.

Except as otherwise provided in the Arrangement Agreement, Tundra agreed, and agreed to cause its subsidiaries and representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated any solicitation, encouragement, discussion or negotiation with any persons conducted by Tundra, its subsidiaries or any representatives, with respect to, or that may reasonably be expected to lead to, any actual or potential Acquisition Proposal. In connection with these non-solicitation actions, Tundra is required to discontinue access to any such person to the data room (and not establish or allow access to any other data rooms, virtual or otherwise or otherwise furnish information), request, to the extent that it is entitled to do so (and exercise all rights it has to require) the return or destruction of all confidential information regarding Tundra and its subsidiaries previously provided to any such person or any other person and request the destruction of all material including, incorporating or otherwise reflecting any material confidential information regarding Tundra and its subsidiaries. Tundra has agreed that neither it, nor any of its subsidiaries, shall terminate, waive, amend or modify, and has agreed to actively prosecute and enforce, its rights under any agreement containing standstill provisions and any provision of any existing confidentiality agreement or any standstill agreement to which it or any of its subsidiaries is a party, it being acknowledged and agreed that the automatic termination of any standstill provisions of any such agreement as a result of the entering into and announcement of the Arrangement Agreement by Tundra, pursuant to the express terms of any such agreement, shall not be a violation of the Arrangement Agreement. Tundra is not prohibited from considering a Superior Proposal from a party whose standstill obligations terminated automatically upon the entering into and announcement of the Arrangement Agreement.

Superior Proposal

Pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement, if, prior to the approval of the Arrangement Resolution by Tundra Shareholders, Tundra receives an Acquisition Proposal not resulting from a breach of the non-solicitation obligations of the Arrangement Agreement, which the Board of Directors determines in good faith following consultation with its financial and outside legal advisors, constitutes or is reasonably likely to constitute (assuming completion of a due diligence review not exceeding 12 calendar days from the date of Tundra’s receipt of the first Acquisition Proposal directly or indirectly from a particular person or any affiliate thereof or joint actor thereof (as defined in the Securities Act) directly or indirectly making the Acquisition Proposal (the “Restricted Period”)), if consummated in accordance with its terms (but not assuming away any risk of non-completion) a Superior Proposal, then Tundra (in compliance with the provisions of the Arrangement Agreement) may furnish information with respect to Tundra and its subsidiaries to and enter into, participate and maintain discussions or negotiations with the person making such an Acquisition Proposal for a

 

45


period of review not to exceed the Restricted Period. Non-public information may not be disclosed to such person without Tundra first having entered into a confidentiality and standstill agreement with such person that contains provisions that are no less favourable to Tundra than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreements. Such confidentiality and standstill agreement may not include any provision calling for an exclusive right to negotiate with Tundra and may not restrict Tundra or its subsidiaries from complying with the non-solicitation obligations contained in the Arrangement Agreement. Tundra will promptly provide to Acquisition Sub any material non-public information concerning Tundra or its subsidiaries provided to such other person which was not previously provided to Acquisition Sub.

Tundra is required to promptly (and in any event within 24 hours following receipt) notify Acquisition Sub (at first orally and thereafter in writing) in the event it receives after April 30, 2009, any Acquisition Proposal (including any request for non-public information relating to Tundra or any of its subsidiaries or for access to the properties, books or records of Tundra or its subsidiaries, in each case, in connection with, or that may reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal) or any inquiry or proposal that may reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal together with a copy of all documents relating to such Acquisition Proposal or inquiry, and including the material terms and conditions thereof (including the identity of the person making the Acquisition Proposal), and is also required to regularly and promptly inform Acquisition Sub in writing as to the status of developments and communications with respect to such Acquisition Proposal or inquiry, including any changes to the material terms or conditions, of such Acquisition Proposal or inquiry.

A Superior Proposal is defined in the Arrangement Agreement as a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal not obtained in breach of the non-solicitation provisions of the Arrangement Agreement or in breach of any agreement between the person making the Superior Proposal and Tundra to acquire not less than 100% of the outstanding Tundra Shares (or all or substantially all of the assets of Tundra on a consolidated basis) that the Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial and outside legal advisors, is a transaction:

 

   

that if consummated in accordance with its terms (but not assuming away any risk of non-completion) is reasonably capable of being completed without significant additional delay taking into account all financial, legal, regulatory and other aspects of such Acquisition Proposal and the person making such Acquisition Proposal;

 

   

that if consummated in accordance with its terms (but not assuming away any risk of non-completion) is on terms and conditions more favourable, from a financial point of view, to the holders of Tundra Shares than the terms and conditions of the transaction contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement (after giving effect to any changes to terms of the Arrangement Agreement proposed by IDT and Acquisition Sub in response to such Acquisition Proposal);

 

   

that is not subject to any due diligence condition;

 

   

in respect of which failure to recommend such Acquisition Proposal to the Tundra Shareholders would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Board of Directors; and

 

   

in respect of which any required financing to complete such Acquisition Proposal is reasonably likely to be obtained.

Prior to obtaining the approval of the Arrangement Resolution by Tundra Shareholders, the Board of Directors may, authorize Tundra to terminate the Arrangement Agreement in order to accept, approve, endorse and recommend a Superior Proposal, and contemporaneously enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal if, and only if:

 

   

Acquisition Sub has been provided with a copy of the Superior Proposal documents by Tundra (including financing documents supplied to Tundra in connection therewith) and has received written confirmation from Tundra that the Board of Directors has determined that the proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal; and

 

   

five business days (the “Matching Period”) have elapsed from the later of (i) the date that Acquisition Sub received written notice that the Board of Directors has resolved to terminate the Arrangement Agreement in order to accept, approve, endorse and recommend the Superior Proposal and contemporaneously enter into a definitive agreement and (ii) the date that Acquisition Sub received the Superior Proposal documents noted above.

 

46


In the event the Tundra Board of Directors provides notice to Acquisition Sub that it has resolved to terminate the Arrangement Agreement in order to accept, approve, endorse and recommend a Superior Proposal and contemporaneously enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal on a date which is less than five business days prior to the Meeting, Acquisition Sub is entitled to require Tundra to adjourn or postpone the Meeting to a date that is not more than seven business days after the date of such notice.

Each successive amendment to any Acquisition Proposal will constitute a new Acquisition Proposal and initiate a new five business day Matching Period but will not give rise to an additional 12 calendar day period or extend a 12 calendar day period that has previously commenced in respect of evaluating a particular Acquisition Proposal.

Matching Period

During the Matching Period, Acquisition Sub (on behalf of IDT and Acquisition Sub) has the right, but not the obligation, to offer to amend the terms of the Arrangement Agreement. During the Matching Period, the Board of Directors is required to review any offer by Acquisition Sub to amend the terms of the Arrangement Agreement in good faith in order to determine whether Acquisition Sub’s amended offer, upon acceptance by Tundra, would cause such Superior Proposal to cease to be a Superior Proposal. If the Board of Directors so determines, Tundra will enter into an amended agreement with Acquisition Sub reflecting Acquisition Sub’s amended offer.

If the Matching Period expires and the Board of Directors continues to believe in good faith, that the Superior Proposal remains a Superior Proposal and, therefore, rejects Acquisition Sub’s amended offer, if any, or Acquisition Sub fails to enter into an agreement with Tundra reflecting the amended offer, Tundra may, subject to compliance with the terms of the Arrangement Agreement and the payment of the Termination Fee, terminate the Arrangement Agreement in order to accept, approve, endorse and recommend the Superior Proposal and contemporaneously enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal.

Pre-Closing Reorganization

In the Arrangement Agreement, Tundra has agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to effect, at the request of Acquisition Sub, the Pre-Closing Reorganization and has agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with IDT and Acquisition Sub in structuring, planning and implementing any reorganization (including for tax purposes) of their respective capital, assets and corporate structure or such other planning as Acquisition Sub may request, acting reasonably (an “Additional Reorganization”) prior to the Effective Date, and the Plan of Arrangement, if required, will be modified accordingly. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tundra will not be required to effect any Pre-Closing Reorganization or any Additional Reorganization that would (a) in its opinion, acting reasonably, materially impede or materially delay the consummation of the Arrangement, (b) in its opinion, acting reasonably, materially interfere with the ongoing operations of Tundra or its subsidiaries, (c) cause Tundra or any subsidiary to contravene any applicable Laws or the organizational documents of Tundra or any of its subsidiaries or any Tundra Material Contract in any material respect, and (d) reasonably be expected to result in any taxes being imposed on, or any adverse tax or other consequences to, any holders of Tundra Shares incrementally greater than the taxes or other consequences to such holders in connection with the consummation of the Arrangement in the absence of a pre-closing reorganization. Tundra, its subsidiaries and their respective officers, directors and employees (to the extent employees are assessed with statutory liability thereto) will have received an indemnity, in form and substance satisfactory to Tundra, acting reasonably, from IDT and Acquisition Sub from and against any and all implementation costs, liabilities, costs, damages, claims, expenses, interest, awards, judgments and penalties that may be incurred as a result of or to unwind any reorganization, suffered or incurred by any of them in connection with or as a result of the Pre-Closing Reorganization and any Additional Reorganization if the Arrangement Agreement is terminated under certain circumstances, which indemnity will survive termination of the Arrangement Agreement.

 

47


Termination

The Arrangement Agreement may be terminated and the Arrangement may be abandoned at any time prior to the Effective Time (notwithstanding any approval of the Arrangement Agreement, the Arrangement Resolution or the Arrangement by the Tundra Shareholders and/or the Court) by mutual written agreement of Tundra, IDT and Acquisition Sub or by either Tundra or Acquisition Sub if the Effective Time has not occurred by the Outside Date (provided that failure has not been caused by the terminating party’s failure to fulfill its obligations or by a breach of the terminating party’s representations and warranties under the Arrangement Agreement), or if, after the date of the Arrangement Agreement, an applicable Law is passed (or any such applicable Law is amended) that makes the consummation of the Arrangement illegal or otherwise prohibits or enjoins the consummation of the Arrangement and such applicable Law or enjoinment is final and non-appealable.

Acquisition Sub alone may terminate the Arrangement Agreement in the following circumstances:

 

   

(A) the Board of Directors fails to make a unanimous recommendation (subject to the abstention of Mr. Shlapak, who is an interested Director), or withdraws, amends, modifies or qualifies, in a manner adverse to IDT, Acquisition Sub and/or the consummation of the Arrangement, the approval or recommendation of the Board of Directors of the Arrangement or the Arrangement Resolution, or publicly proposes or publicly states its intention to do so (it being understood that taking no position or a neutral position with respect to an Acquisition Proposal which has been publicly announced, disclosed or known beyond a period that is the lesser of three business days and four calendar days from the date of the Acquisition Proposal shall be considered a modification adverse to the consummation of the Arrangement and a Change in Recommendation), (B) the Board of Directors fails to publicly reconfirm such recommendation upon the request of Acquisition Sub within two business days following such request, (C) the Board of Directors approves or recommends an Acquisition Proposal, (D) Tundra enters into a written agreement in respect of an Acquisition Proposal (other than a confidentiality and standstill agreement permitted pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement), or (E) Tundra publicly announces the intention to do any of the foregoing (each of clauses (A), (B), (C), (D) and (E) being a “Change in Recommendation”), or Tundra breaches its non-solicitation obligations under the Arrangement Agreement;

 

   

a breach of any representation or warranty or failure to perform any covenant or agreement on the part of Tundra set forth in the Arrangement Agreement that would cause any of the mutual conditions precedent of the parties or conditions precedent to the obligations of IDT and Acquisition Sub (other than a Material Adverse Effect in respect of Tundra) pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement not to be satisfied, and such breach or failure is incapable of being cured or is not cured within the earlier of 30 days following Acquisition Sub’s delivery of notice of such breach and the Outside Date;

 

   

a Material Adverse Effect occurs in respect of Tundra between the date of the Arrangement Agreement (or prior to such date to the extent that the relevant change, event, occurrence or development shall have been disclosed generally or to Acquisition Sub only after the date of the Arrangement Agreement) and the Effective Date; or

 

   

the Arrangement Resolution fails to receive the requisite vote of Tundra Shareholders for approval at the Meeting (including any adjournment or postponement thereof) in accordance with the Interim Order and applicable Law.

Tundra alone may terminate the Arrangement Agreement in the following circumstances:

 

   

prior to obtaining the approval of the Arrangement Resolution by Tundra Shareholders at the Meeting, Tundra, in accordance with the Arrangement Agreement, enters into a written agreement concerning a Superior Proposal; provided that prior to or concurrent with such termination, Tundra pays the Termination Fee, described below under “The Arrangement Agreement — Termination Fees and Expenses”;

 

   

a breach of any representation or warranty or failure to perform any covenant or agreement on the part of IDT or Acquisition Sub set forth in the Arrangement Agreement that would cause (i) the mutual

 

48


 

conditions precedent set forth in the first and fourth bullet points described above under “The Arrangement Agreement — Conditions Precedent to the Arrangement — Mutual Conditions Precedent” or (ii) the conditions precedent to the obligations of Tundra, not to be satisfied, and such breach or failure is incapable of being cured or is not cured within the earlier of 30 days following Tundra’s delivery of notice of such breach and the Outside Date; or

 

   

the Arrangement Resolution fails to receive the requisite vote of Tundra Shareholders for approval at the Meeting (including any adjournment or postponement thereof) in accordance with the Interim Order and applicable Law.

Termination Fees and Expenses

If the Arrangement Agreement is terminated (each below a “Termination Fee Event”):

 

  (a) by Acquisition Sub, because the Board of Directors makes a Change in Recommendation or Tundra breaches the non-solicitation provisions of the Arrangement Agreement;

 

  (b) by Tundra, because prior to obtaining the approval of the Arrangement Resolution by Tundra Shareholders at the Meeting, Tundra, in accordance with the Arrangement Agreement, enters into a written agreement concerning a Superior Proposal;

 

  (c) by Tundra or IDT under any of the termination provisions of the Arrangement Agreement if, at such time, Acquisition Sub is entitled to terminate the Arrangement Agreement in the circumstances described in (a) above; or

 

  (d) (i) by Tundra or Acquisition Sub because (A) the Effective Time shall have not occurred on or prior to the Outside Date, except that the right to terminate the Arrangement Agreement in such an event shall not be available to any party whose failure to fulfill any of its obligations or whose breach of any of its representations and warranties has been the cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Effective Time to occur by such date or (B) the Arrangement Resolution shall have failed to receive the requisite vote of Tundra Shareholders for approval at the Meeting (including any adjournment or postponement thereof) in accordance with the Interim Order and applicable Law; or (ii) by Acquisition Sub because of a breach of any representation or warranty or failure to perform any covenant or agreement on the part of Tundra set forth in the Arrangement Agreement shall have occurred that would cause any of the conditions described above under “The Arrangement Agreement — Conditions Precedent to the Arrangement — Mutual Conditions Precedent” or “The Arrangement Agreement — Conditions Precedent to the Arrangement — IDT and Acquisition Sub Conditions Precedent” (other than a Material Adverse Effect in respect of Tundra) not to be satisfied, and such breach or failure is incapable of being cured or is not cured within the earlier of 30 days following Acquisition Sub’s delivery of notice of such breach, and the Outside Date; but only if in the case of each of (i) or (ii), an Acquisition Proposal is made, announced or otherwise publicly disclosed or an Acquisition Proposal is discussed with or becomes known to Tundra or the Board of Directors or an inquiry concerning an Acquisition Proposal is made to Tundra or the Board of Directors otherwise after April 30, 2009 and prior to the termination of the Arrangement Agreement, and an Acquisition Proposal is consummated within a period of one year from the exercise of such termination rights, or an agreement with respect to an Acquisition Proposal is entered into by Tundra and/or any of its subsidiaries within such one year period and is subsequently consummated within six months of the expiry of such one year period; provided that for the purpose of this paragraph all references to “20%” in the definition of Acquisition Proposal shall be deemed to be references to “34%”,

then Tundra must pay the termination fee of $5,400,000 (the “Termination Fee”) to or as directed by Acquisition Sub. In the event that the Termination Fee is payable subsequent to the payment by Tundra to Acquisition Sub of an expense reimbursement as described below, such Termination Fee shall be reduced by the amount of such expense reimbursement.

All fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Arrangement Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement will be paid by the party incurring such fees, costs or expenses; however, if the Arrangement Agreement is terminated by one party, pursuant to certain of its non-mutual termination rights for certain

breaches of representations, warranties and/or covenants or by Acquisition Sub due to a Material Adverse Effect in respect of Tundra, the terminating party will pay to the non-terminating party, within two business days, an amount equal to all charges and expenses incurred in connection with the Arrangement Agreement, up to a maximum of $750,000. In addition, if the Arrangement Agreement is terminated by either Tundra or Acquisition Sub because the Arrangement Resolution has failed to receive the requisite vote of Tundra Shareholders, Tundra will be required to pay as directed by Acquisition Sub an amount equal to all charges and expenses incurred in connection with the Arrangement Agreement, up to a maximum of $750,000.

Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance and Indemnification

IDT and Acquisition Sub have agreed that IDT or Acquisition Sub, will at either IDT’s or Acquisition Sub’s option, either purchase prepaid non-cancellable run-off directors’ and officers’ liability insurance to be in effect without any reduction in scope or coverage for at least six years providing protection no less favourable to the protection provided by the policies maintained by Tundra in favour of the directors and officers of Tundra and each of its subsidiaries which are in effect immediately prior to the Effective Date and providing protection in respect of claims arising from facts or events which occurred prior to the Effective Date; or purchase as an extension of Tundra’s current insurance policies, prepaid non cancellable run-off directors’ and officers’ liability insurance providing coverage comparable to that contained in Tundra’s existing policies for six years from the Effective Time with respect to claims arising from or related to facts or events that occurred at or prior to the Effective Time of the Arrangement. In either case, the parties to the Arrangement Agreement have agreed that the maximum purchase price for the coverage will be no more than 200% of the average purchase price paid by Tundra per year of coverage over the three years preceding the date of the Arrangement Agreement. If such coverage cannot be obtained at such maximum purchase price, then IDT or Acquisition Sub will obtain coverage as comparable as possible to that described above at such maximum purchase price, to be determined by IDT or Acquisition Sub in its sole discretion.

Amendment and Waiver

The Arrangement Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement may be amended no later than the Effective Time of the Arrangement by mutual written agreement of Tundra, IDT and Acquisition Sub subject to the Interim Order, the Final Order and applicable Laws. A waiver of any of the provisions of the Arrangement Agreement shall be binding only if executed in writing by the party to be bound by such waiver. No waiver of any of the provisions of the Arrangement Agreement constitutes a waiver of any other provision or a future waiver of the same provisions.

PRINCIPAL LEGAL MATTERS

Court Approval of the Arrangement and Completion of the Arrangement

The Arrangement requires Court approval under the CBCA. On May 15, 2009, prior to the mailing of this Circular, Tundra obtained the Interim Order, which provides for the calling and holding of the Meeting, the Dissent Rights and other procedural matters. A copy of the Interim Order is attached as Appendix E to this Circular. A copy of the Notice of Application in respect of the Final Order is attached as Appendix F to this Circular.

Subject to Tundra Shareholder Approval in accordance with the Interim Order, the hearing in respect of the Final Order is currently scheduled to take place on June 16, 2009, at 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) in the Court at 330 University Avenue, Toronto, Ontario, M5G 1R8. Any Tundra Shareholder and any other interested party who wishes to appear, or to be represented, and to present evidence or arguments must file and serve on Osler, with a copy to McCarthys, a notice of intention to appear (a “Notice of Appearance”), together with a copy of any evidence or material which is to be presented to the Court at the hearing of the application for the Final Order, at or before 12:00 p.m. (noon) (Toronto time) on June 15, 2009, as set out in the Interim Order, a copy of which is attached as Appendix E to this Circular, and satisfy any other requirements of the Court. The Court will consider, among other things, the fairness of the Arrangement to parties who may be affected, including the Tundra Shareholders. The Court may approve the Arrangement in any manner the Court may direct, subject to compliance with any terms and conditions, if any, as the Court deems fit. In the event that the hearing is

 

50


postponed, adjourned or rescheduled then, subject to further order of the Court, only those persons having previously served a Notice of Appearance will be given notice of the postponement, adjournment or rescheduled date. The Final Order, if granted, will constitute the basis for the Section 3(a)(10) exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act with respect to the Replacement Options to be issued in connection with the Arrangement. Prior to the application for the hearing of the Final Order, the Court will be advised that the Replacement Options will be issued in reliance on the Section 3(a)(10) exemption.

If (a) Tundra Shareholder Approval is obtained, (b) the Final Order is obtained, and (c) all other conditions under the Arrangement Agreement are satisfied or waived, the Articles of Arrangement will be filed and the Arrangement will become effective on the Effective Date. Under the Arrangement Agreement, the Effective Date will be no earlier than June 30, 2009, unless another date is agreed to by the parties to the Arrangement Agreement.

Canadian Securities Law Considerations

As a reporting issuer or the equivalent in each province in Canada, Tundra is, among other things, subject to the securities laws of Ontario and Quebec, including MI 61-101. ´

MI 61-101 is intended to regulate insider bids, issuer bids, business combinations, going private transactions and related party transactions to ensure that all securityholders are treated in a manner that is fair and perceived to be fair by requiring, among other things, enhanced disclosure, valuation, review and approval processes.

If any director or officer or other related party of Tundra is entitled to receive a “collateral benefit”, as defined in MI 61-101, in connection with the Arrangement, the Arrangement would constitute a “business combination” for purposes of MI 61-101 and the Arrangement Resolution would require “minority approval” in accordance with MI 61-101.

The treatment of the Tundra Options and Tundra RSUs under the Arrangement and the corresponding payments discussed under “The Arrangement — Interests of Directors, Executive Officers and Others in the Arrangement” may be considered to be benefits received by the applicable persons as a consequence of the Arrangement for the purposes of MI 61-101. However, MI 61-101 expressly excludes benefits from being collateral benefits if such benefits are received solely in connection with the related party’s services as an employee, director or consultant under certain circumstances, including that full particulars of the benefits are disclosed in the disclosure document for the transaction and, at the time the transaction is agreed to, the related party and its associated entities (as defined in MI 61-101) beneficially own, or exercise control or direction over, less than 1% of the outstanding equity securities of the issuer. Each of the persons discussed under “The Arrangement — Interests of Directors, Executive Officers and Others in the Arrangement”, and their respective associated entities, hold less than 1% of Tundra’s issued and outstanding common shares. Therefore, these individuals will not be considered to have received any collateral benefit and the Arrangement does not constitute a “business combination” for the purposes of MI 61-101.

The issuance of Replacement Options in connection with the Arrangement will be exempt from the prospectus and registration requirements of applicable Canadian Securities Laws.

United States Securities Laws Considerations

The following discussion is a general overview of the treatment of the Replacement Options under U.S. federal securities laws.

Exemption from the Registration Requirements of the 1933 Act

The Replacement Options issued pursuant to the Arrangement have not been and will not be registered under the 1933 Act and are being issued to holders of Out-Of-The-Money Tundra Options in reliance on the exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act set forth in Section 3(a)(10) of the 1933 Act and applicable exemptions from United States state securities laws. Section 3(a)(10) of the 1933 Act exempts from registration the offer and sale of a security which is issued in exchange for outstanding securities where the terms and conditions of such issue and exchange are approved, after a hearing upon the fairness of such terms and conditions at which all persons to whom it is proposed to issue securities in such exchange have the right to

 

51


appear, by a court or governmental authority expressly authorized by Law to grant such approval. The Final Order, if granted, will constitute the basis for the Section 3(a)(10) exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act with respect to the Replacement Options issued in connection with the Arrangement. Prior to the hearing of the Final Order, the Court will be advised that the Replacement Options will be issued in reliance on the Section 3(a)(10) exemption.

Exercise of Replacement Options

The Replacement Options may not be exercised by any holder of Replacement Options, whether located in the United States, Canada, or elsewhere, until such time as the S-8 Registration Statement has been filed with the SEC and has become effective, and may only be exercised, while the S-8 Registration Statement remains effective. IDT has agreed that it will file the S-8 Registration Statement with the SEC to register the IDT Shares to be issued from time to time after the Effective Time upon exercise of Replacement Options issued pursuant to the terms of the Arrangement Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement, and has also agreed that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the S-8 Registration Statement for so long as Replacement Options remain outstanding. In addition, a holder of a Replacement Option who is an affiliate of IDT within the meaning of the 1933 Act may only resell IDT Shares acquired upon the exercise of the Replacement Options in accordance with the volume and manner of sale limitations of Rule 144 under the 1933 Act, or pursuant to a resale prospectus, if available, forming part of the S-8 Registration Statement while it remains effective.

Stock Exchange De-Listing and Reporting Issuer Status

Tundra is currently a reporting issuer (or its equivalent) in all of the provinces of Canada. The Tundra Shares are currently listed on the TSX under the symbol “TUN”. Trading of the Tundra Shares will cease in the public market shortly after completion of the Arrangement and the Tundra Shares will cease to be listed on the TSX. In addition, IDT will seek to have Tundra deemed to have ceased to be a reporting issuer under Canadian Securities Laws. Tundra will also cease to be required to file continuous disclosure documents with Canadian Securities Administrators upon ceasing to be a reporting issuer in Canada. After the Effective Time, the Tundra Share certificates will only represent the right of a Registered Shareholder to receive upon surrender the cash to which such holder is entitled under the Arrangement.

Cancellation of Rights After Six Years

In accordance with the Plan of Arrangement, any certificate which immediately before the Effective Time represented Tundra Shares and which has not been surrendered, together with all other documents required by the Depositary, on or before the sixth anniversary of the Effective Date, will cease to represent any claim by or interest of any Former Tundra Shareholder of any kind or nature against or in Tundra, IDT or Acquisition Sub. Accordingly, persons who deposit certificates for Tundra Shares after the sixth anniversary of the Effective Date will not receive cash and will not own any interest in either IDT, Acquisition Sub or Tundra.

CERTAIN TAX CONSIDERATIONS FOR SECURITYHOLDERS

Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations

General

In the opinion of Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt LLP, Canadian counsel to Tundra, the following is a general summary, as of the date hereof, of the principal Canadian federal income tax considerations generally applicable to a beneficial owner of Tundra Shares who disposes of Tundra Shares pursuant to the Arrangement and who, for purposes of the application of the Tax Act and at all relevant times (a) holds the Tundra Shares, and will hold any IDT Shares received pursuant to the Arrangement, as capital property and (b) deals at arm’s length with IDT, Acquisition Sub and Tundra and is not affiliated with IDT, Acquisition Sub or Tundra (a “Holder” or “Holders”). Tundra Shares will generally constitute capital property to a Holder provided the Holder does not hold such shares in the course of carrying on a business or as part of an adventure in the nature of trade.

This summary is not applicable to Holders holding Tundra RSUs, Holders holding Tundra Options or other rights to acquire Tundra Shares, or Holders who acquired Tundra Shares on the exercise of employee stock options. All such Holders should consult their own tax advisors in this regard.

This summary is based on the current provisions of the Tax Act, all specific proposed amendments to the Tax Act publicly announced by or on behalf of the Minister of Finance (Canada) before the date hereof (“Proposed Amendments”) and counsel’s understanding of the current administrative policies and assessing practices of the Canada Revenue Agency (“CRA”) published in writing prior to the date hereof and assumes that the Proposed Amendments will be enacted in the form proposed. No assurances can be given that the Proposed Amendments will be enacted in the form proposed, or at all. This summary does not otherwise take into account or anticipate changes in Law, whether by judicial, governmental or legislative decision or action, or changes in the administrative policy or assessing practices of the CRA, nor does it take into account provincial, territorial or foreign tax legislation or considerations, which may differ significantly from the Canadian federal income tax considerations discussed herein.

This summary is of a general nature only and is not, and is not intended to be, legal or tax advice to any particular shareholder. This summary is not exhaustive of all Canadian federal income tax considerations. Accordingly, Tundra Shareholders should consult their own tax advisors having regard to their own particular circumstances.

 

56


Holders Resident in Canada

This part of the summary is generally applicable to Holders who, at all relevant times for purposes of the application of the Tax Act are, or are deemed to be, resident in Canada (a “Resident Holder” or “Resident Holders”). Certain Resident Holders whose Tundra Shares might not otherwise qualify as capital property may, in certain circumstances, make an irrevocable election in accordance with subsection 39(4) of the Tax Act the effect of which may be to deem their Tundra Shares and every “Canadian security” (as defined in the Tax Act) owned by such Resident Holder in the taxation year in which the election is made, and in all subsequent taxation years, to be capital property. Resident Holders whose Tundra Shares might not otherwise be considered to be capital property should consult their own tax advisor concerning this election.

This part of the summary is not applicable to a Resident Holder that is a “financial institution” (as defined in the Tax Act for purposes of the mark-to-market rules), a “specified financial institution” as defined in the Tax Act, a shareholder an interest in which is a “tax shelter investment” for purposes of the Tax Act, or a shareholder to whom the “functional currency” (as defined in the Tax Act) reporting rules apply. Such Resident Holders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to their own particular circumstances.

Sale Pursuant to Arrangement

A Resident Holder who disposes of their Tundra Shares under the Arrangement will realize a capital gain (or capital loss) equal to the amount by which the proceeds received for such Tundra Shares, net of any reasonable costs of disposition, exceed (or are less than) the adjusted cost base to the Resident Holder of such Tundra Shares immediately before the disposition. The general tax treatment of capital gains and losses is discussed below under the heading “Certain Tax Considerations for Securityholders — Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations — Holders Resident in Canada — Taxation of Capital Gains and Capital Losses”.

Taxation of Capital Gains and Capital Losses

Generally, a Resident Holder is required to include in computing its income for a taxation year one-half of the amount of any capital gain (a “taxable capital gain”) realized in the year. Subject to and in accordance with the provisions of the Tax Act, a Resident Holder is required to deduct one-half of the amount of any capital loss (an “allowable capital loss”) realized in a taxation year from taxable capital gains realized in the year by such Resident Holder. Allowable capital losses in excess of taxable capital gains may be carried back and deducted in any of the three preceding years or carried forward and deducted in any following year against net taxable capital gains realized in such year to the extent and under the circumstances described in the Tax Act.

The amount of any capital loss realized by a Resident Holder that is a corporation on the disposition of a Tundra Share may be reduced by the amount of any dividends received (or deemed to be received) by the Resident Holder on such Tundra Share to the extent and under the circumstances prescribed by the Tax Act. Similar rules may apply where a Tundra Share is owned by a partnership or trust of which a corporation, trust or partnership is a member or beneficiary. Resident Holders to whom these rules may be relevant should consult their own tax advisors.

A Resident Holder that is throughout the year a “Canadian controlled private corporation” (as defined in the Tax Act) may be liable to pay, in addition to tax otherwise payable under the Tax Act, a refundable tax on certain investment income including taxable capital gains.

A capital gain realized by an individual or a trust, other than certain trusts, may give rise to alternative minimum tax. Resident Holders should consult their own tax advisors.

Dissenting Resident Holders

A Resident Holder who exercises Dissent Rights (a “Dissenting Resident Holder”) will, pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement, be deemed to transfer such person’s shares to Acquisition Sub and will be entitled to be paid the fair value of such shares by Acquisition Sub. In general, a Dissenting Resident Holder will realize a capital gain (or capital loss) equal to the amount, if any, by which the cash received in respect of the fair value of such holder’s shares (other than in respect of interest awarded by a court) exceeds (or is less than) the aggregate

 

57


adjusted cost base of such shares to the Dissenting Resident Holder and any reasonable costs of disposition. See “Certain Tax Considerations for Securityholders — Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations — Holders Resident in Canada — Taxation of Capital Gains and Capital Losses”. Any interest awarded to a Dissenting Resident Holder by a court will be required to be included in such holder’s income for purposes of the Tax Act.

Holders Not Resident in Canada

This portion of the summary is generally applicable to a Holder who, at all relevant times for purposes of the application of the Tax Act, is not, and is not deemed to be, resident in Canada and does not use or hold, and is not deemed to use or hold the Tundra Shares in a business carried on in Canada (a “Non-Resident Holder” or “Non-Resident Holders”). Special rules, which are not discussed in this summary, may apply to holders that are insurers carrying on an insurance business in Canada and elsewhere.

Sale Pursuant to Arrangement

A Non-Resident Holder will not be subject to tax under the Tax Act in respect of any capital gain realized on a disposition of Tundra Shares pursuant to the Arrangement unless such shares are “taxable Canadian property” as defined in the Tax Act to such Non-Resident Holder at the Effective Time and such gain is not otherwise exempt from tax under the Tax Act pursuant to the provisions of an applicable income tax treaty.

Generally, Tundra Shares will not be taxable Canadian property to a Non-Resident Holder at the Effective Time provided that (a) such shares are listed on a “designated stock exchange” (as defined in the Tax Act) (which includes the TSX) at that time, and (b) the Non-Resident Holder, persons not dealing at arm’s length with such Non-Resident Holder, and the Non-Resident Holder together with all such persons, did not at any time during the 60 month period ending at that time, own 25% or more of the issued shares of any class or series of the capital stock of Tundra. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in certain circumstances set out in the Tax Act, Tundra Shares could be deemed to be taxable Canadian property.

Non-Resident Holders whose Tundra Shares are taxable Canadian property should consult their own tax advisors having regard to their particular circumstances.

Dissenting Non-Resident Holders

A Non-Resident Holder who validly exercises Dissent Rights (a “Dissenting Non-Resident Holder”) will, pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement, be deemed to transfer such holder’s shares to Acquisition Sub and will be entitled to be paid the fair value of such shares by Acquisition Sub. In general, the tax treatment of a Dissenting Non-Resident Holder will be similar to that of a Non-Resident Holder who participates in the Arrangement. See “Certain Tax Considerations for Securityholders — Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations — Holders Not Resident in Canada — Exchange of Tundra Shares”.

A Dissenting Non-Resident Holder will not be subject to tax under the Tax Act in respect of any interest awarded to such holder by a court.

Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations

 

U.S. IRS CIRCULAR 230: To ensure compliance with IRS Circular 230, you are hereby notified that: (i) any discussion of U.S. federal tax issues in this Circular (including any attachments) is not intended or written to be relied upon, and cannot be relied upon by you, for the purpose of avoiding penalties that may be imposed on you under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended; (ii) such discussion is written in connection with the promotion or marketing of the transactions or matters addressed herein; and (iii) you should seek advice based on your particular circumstances from an independent tax advisor.

The following is a summary of certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences to a U.S. Holder (as defined below) arising from and relating to the Arrangement. This summary is not applicable to persons holding Tundra RSUs, Tundra Options or other rights to acquire Tundra Shares and any U.S. Holder that holds

 

58


any of the foregoing should consult their own independent tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences to them of the Arrangement, having regard to such holder’s particular circumstances.

This summary is not intended to constitute a complete description of all the potential U.S. federal income tax consequences, or any other tax consequences, that may apply to a U.S. Holder as a result of the Arrangement. In addition, this summary does not take into account the individual facts and circumstances of any particular U.S. Holder that may affect the U.S. federal income tax consequences applicable to such holder. Accordingly, this summary is not intended to be, and should not be construed as, legal or U.S. federal income tax advice with respect to any U.S. Holder. Each U.S. Holder should consult its own independent tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Arrangement.

No legal opinion from U.S. legal counsel or ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) has been requested, or is expected to be obtained, regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences described below. This summary is not binding on the IRS, and the IRS is not precluded from taking a position that is different from the positions described in this summary. Because the authorities on which this summary is based are subject to various interpretations, the IRS and the U.S. courts could disagree with one or more of the positions described in this summary.

Scope of this Disclosure

Authorities

This summary is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), final and temporary Treasury Regulations, published IRS rulings, judicial decisions, published administrative positions of the IRS, as in effect and available as of the date of this Circular, as well as proposed Treasury Regulations. Any of the authorities on which this summary is based could be changed in a material and adverse manner at any time, and any such change could be applied on a retroactive basis. This summary does not discuss the potential effects, whether adverse or beneficial, of any proposed legislation.

U.S. Holders

For purposes of this summary, a “U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of Tundra Shares that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is (a) an individual who is a citizen or resident of the U.S., (b) a corporation, or other entity classified as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, that is created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state in the United States or the District of Columbia, (c) an estate if the income of such estate is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of the source of such income, or (d) a trust if (i) such trust has validly elected to be treated as a U.S. person for U.S. federal income tax purposes or (ii) a U. S. court is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of such trust and one or more U. S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of such trust.

Non-U.S. Holders

For purposes of this summary, a “non-U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of Tundra Shares other than a U.S. Holder or any entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. This summary does not address the U.S. federal income tax consequences to non-U.S. Holders arising from and relating to the Arrangement. Accordingly, non-U.S. Holders should consult their own independent tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal, U.S. state and local and non-U.S. tax consequences (including the potential application of and operation of any tax treaties) arising from the Arrangement.

U.S. Holders Subject to Special U.S. Federal Income Tax Rules Not Addressed

This summary does not address the U.S. federal income tax consequences applicable to U.S. Holders that are subject to special provisions under the Code, including the following U.S. Holders: (a) U.S. Holders that are tax-exempt organizations, qualified retirement plans, individual retirement accounts, or other tax-deferred accounts; (b) U.S. Holders that are financial institutions, insurance companies, real estate investment trusts, or regulated investment companies; (c) U.S. Holders that are dealers in securities or currencies or U.S. Holders that are traders in securities that elect to apply a mark-to-market accounting method; (d) U.S. Holders that have

 

59


a “functional currency” other than the U.S. dollar; (e) U.S. Holders subject to the alternative minimum tax provisions of the Code; (f) U.S. Holders that own Tundra Shares as part of a straddle, hedging transaction, conversion transaction, constructive sale, or other arrangement involving more than one position; (g) U.S. Holders that acquired the Tundra Shares through the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation for services; (h) U.S. expatriates; and (i) persons that own, or have owned, directly, indirectly or constructively, 5% or more, by voting power or value, of the outstanding equity interests of Tundra. In addition, this summary does not address U.S. Holders that hold the Tundra Shares other than as a capital asset within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code. U.S. Holders that are described in this paragraph should consult their own independent tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal, U.S. state and local, and foreign tax consequences arising from and relating to the Arrangement.

If an entity that is classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds Tundra Shares, the U.S. federal income tax consequences to such partnership and the partners of such partnership generally will depend on the activities of the partnership and the status of such partners. Owners of entities that are classified as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes should consult their own independent tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences arising from and relating to the Arrangement.

This summary does not address the U.S. gift, inheritance, estate, state, or local tax consequences, or non-U.S. tax consequences to U.S. Holders of the Arrangement. EACH U.S. HOLDER SHOULD CONSULT ITS OWN INDEPENDENT TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND NON-U.S. TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE ARRANGEMENT, INCLUDING THE POTENTIAL APPLICATION OF THE PFIC RULES DESCRIBED BELOW.

Assumptions

This summary is based on certain understandings and assumptions with respect to the business, assets and shareholders of Tundra, including that Tundra has at no time been a “controlled foreign corporation” as defined in Section 957 of the Code. This summary also assumes that the Arrangement will be completed according to the terms of the Arrangement Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement, with the consideration contemplated in the Plan of Arrangement. This summary does not address the U.S. federal income tax consequences of transactions effected before or after, or concurrently with, the Arrangement (whether or not any such transactions are undertaken in connection with the Arrangement).

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Arrangement

Tax Consequences to U.S. Holder of the Exchange of Tundra Shares Pursuant to the Arrangement

The exchange of Tundra Shares for cash pursuant to the Arrangement will constitute a taxable transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes. A U.S. Holder of Tundra Shares will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference, if any, between (a) the U.S. dollar value of the Canadian currency received pursuant to the Arrangement, and (b) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis, as determined in U.S. dollars, in the Tundra Shares surrendered pursuant to the Arrangement. Gain or loss will be calculated separately for each block of Tundra Shares (i.e., Tundra Shares acquired at the same cost in a single transaction) exchanged pursuant to the Arrangement. Subject to the discussion below under “PFIC Status of Tundra”, gain or loss recognized generally would be treated as capital gain or loss, and would be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the block of Tundra Shares is more than one year. However, as discussed in more detail below in “PFIC Status of Tundra”, Tundra believes that it is likely that Tundra will be classified as a “passive foreign investment company” (a “PFIC”) for its taxable year ending April 30, 2009 and may be a PFIC for its taxable year which includes the Effective Date. Additionally, there can be no assurance that Tundra has not been classified as a PFIC in prior years. If Tundra has been treated as a PFIC for any taxable year during a U.S. Holder’s holding period of Tundra Shares, any gain on a taxable (and, in certain cases, an otherwise non-taxable) disposition of Tundra Shares, including a disposition of Tundra Shares pursuant to the Arrangement, would be treated as an “excess distribution” and would not be treated as capital gain. Such gain would be subject to tax as if the gain had been realized rateably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period. The amounts allocated to the taxable year of the “excess distribution” and to any year before Tundra became a PFIC would be taxed at the U.S. Holder’s regular ordinary income rate for the taxable year of the “excess

 

60


distribution”. The amount allocated to each other taxable year would be subject to tax as if the amount deemed realized in such year had been subject to tax at the highest rate in effect for individuals or corporations in such taxable year, as appropriate, and a non-deductible interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax had been imposed on the amount of taxes deemed to have been payable in such taxable year. Deductions for capital losses are subject to significant limitations under the Code. Any such gain or loss that a U.S. Holder recognizes generally will be treated as gain or loss from sources within the U.S. for U.S. foreign tax credit limitation purposes.

Dissenting U.S. Holders

A U.S. Holder who exercises Dissent Rights under the Arrangement will recognize gain or loss on the exchange of such holder’s Tundra Shares for cash in an amount equal to the difference between (a) the U.S. dollar value on the date of receipt of the Canadian currency (other than amounts, if any, which are or are deemed to be interest for U.S. federal income tax purposes, which amounts will be taxed as ordinary income) and (b) such holder’s adjusted tax basis in its Tundra Shares. Gain or loss will be calculated separately for each block of Tundra Shares. Except as described in the preceding sentence relating to interest, such gain or loss generally will be subject to the application of the PFIC rules and taxed as described in the previous paragraphs. Any such gain or loss that a U.S. Holder recognizes generally will be treated as gain or loss from sources within the U.S. for U.S. foreign tax credit limitation purposes. Amounts, if any, which are or are deemed to be interest for U.S. federal income tax purposes will generally be treated as being from sources outside the U.S. for U.S. foreign tax credit limitation purposes.

PFIC Status of Tundra

A U.S. Holder of Tundra Shares will be subject to special, adverse U.S. federal income tax rules in respect of a taxable (and, in certain cases, an otherwise non-taxable) disposition of Tundra Shares, including a disposition of Tundra Shares pursuant to the Arrangement, if Tundra was classified as a PFIC for any taxable year during which such U.S. Holder has held Tundra Shares.

A non-U.S. corporation (such as Tundra) is classified as a PFIC for each taxable year in which either (i) at least 75% of its gross income is “passive” income (referred to as the “income test”), or (ii) at least 50% of the average value (determined by reference to the average of the fair market value of the assets determined as of the end of each quarterly period during the taxable year of the corporation) of its assets is attributable to assets that produce passive income or are held for the production of passive income (referred to as the “asset test”). For purposes of the PFIC rules, passive income generally includes dividends, royalties, rents, annuities, interest, and income equivalent to interest, and net gains from the sale or exchange of property that gives rise to dividends, interest, royalties, rents, or annuities and certain gains from commodities transactions. For purposes of the asset test, the aggregate fair market value of the assets of a publicly traded non-U.S. corporation is generally treated as being equal to the sum of the aggregate value of the outstanding stock and the total amount of the liabilities of such corporation, based on the legislative history to the PFIC provisions of the Code. If a corporation is classified as a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder has held shares of such corporation, such corporation may continue to be classified as a PFIC for any subsequent year in which the U.S. Holder continues to hold the shares even if the corporation does not satisfy the income test or asset test in that subsequent taxable year.

Based on estimates of the composition of its income and the value of its assets, Tundra believes that it is likely that Tundra will be classified as a PFIC for its taxable year ending April 30, 2009 and may also be classified as a PFIC for its taxable year which includes the Effective Date. Specifically, based on its interpretation of the PFIC rules, Tundra believes that it is likely that the average quarterly value of its “passive” assets exceeded 50% of the average quarterly value of its total assets for the taxable year ended April 30, 2009. For purposes of the PFIC asset test, Tundra has calculated the value of its total assets based on the sum of its market capitalization and the balance sheet value of its liabilities. Tundra’s belief that it may be a PFIC for the year that includes the Effective Date is based on a similar analysis under the PFIC asset test. The determination of PFIC status is fundamentally factual in nature, depends on the application of complex U.S. federal income tax rules which are subject to differing interpretations, and generally cannot be determined until after the close of the taxable year in question. Further, neither Tundra nor Tundra’s counsel has made a full and complete determination regarding

 

61


its PFIC status for any taxable year. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that Tundra has also not been classified as a PFIC for its taxable year ending April 30, 2008, or any other taxable year during which a U.S. Holder may have held Tundra Shares. The determination of whether or not Tundra is a PFIC during its taxable year that includes the Effective Date will depend on the nature and composition of its income and assets during such taxable year and cannot be predicted with certainty as of the date of this Circular.

Each U.S. Holder of a Tundra Share must make an annual return on Internal Revenue Service Form 8621, reporting distributions received and gains realized with respect to each PFIC (including subsidiary PFICs) in which the U.S. Holder holds a direct or indirect interest.

The PFIC rules are extremely complex, subject to differing interpretations, and may have a significant adverse effect on the U.S. federal income tax consequences to a U.S. Holder on a taxable (and, in certain cases, an otherwise non-taxable) disposition of Tundra Shares, including a disposition of Tundra Shares pursuant to the Arrangement. Accordingly, U.S. Holders should consult their own independent tax advisor regarding the classification of Tundra as a PFIC, the effect of the PFIC rules to such holder, and the availability and effect of any election that may be available under the PFIC rules, in each case, having regard to such holder’s particular circumstances.

The Receipt of Canadian Currency

Canadian dollars received pursuant to the Arrangement will be included in the gross income of a U.S. Holder as translated into U.S. dollars calculated based on the exchange rate prevailing on the date of actual or constructive receipt of such Canadian dollars, regardless of whether the Canadian dollars are converted into U.S. dollars at that time. If the Canadian dollars received are not converted into U.S. dollars on the date of receipt, a U.S. Holder will have a basis in the Canadian dollars equal to their U.S. dollar value on the date of receipt. Any U.S. Holder who receives payment in Canadian dollars and engages in a subsequent conversion or other disposition of the Canadian dollars may have a foreign currency exchange gain or loss that would be treated as ordinary income or loss, and generally would be U.S. source income or loss for foreign tax credit purposes. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their own independent tax advisors concerning the U.S. tax consequences of acquiring, holding and disposing of Canadian dollars.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

U.S. Holders may be subject to information reporting and backup withholding with respect to amounts received by such holder pursuant to the Arrangement. In general, a U.S. Holder will be subject to backup withholding if such holder (a) fails to furnish such U.S. Holder’s correct U.S. taxpayer identification number (generally on Form W-9), (b) furnishes an incorrect U.S. taxpayer identification number, (c) is notified by the IRS that such U.S. Holder has previously failed to properly report items subject to backup withholding, or (d) fails to certify, under penalties of perjury, that such U.S. Holder has furnished its correct U.S. taxpayer identification number and that the IRS has not notified such U.S. Holder that it is subject to backup withholding. However, certain exempt persons, such as corporations, generally are excluded from these backup withholding rules provided that they establish such exemption. Any amounts withheld under the U.S. backup withholding tax rules will generally be allowed as a credit against a U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, if any, and may be refunded, if such U.S. Holder furnishes required information to the IRS in a timely manner.

DISSENTING REGISTERED SHAREHOLDERS’ RIGHTS

Section 190 of the CBCA provides registered shareholders of a corporation with the right to dissent from certain resolutions of a corporation that effect extraordinary corporate transactions or fundamental corporate changes. The Interim Order expressly provides Registered Shareholders with the right to dissent from the Arrangement Resolution pursuant to Section 190 of the CBCA, with modifications to the provisions of Section 190 as provided in Article 4 of the Plan of Arrangement, the Interim Order and the Final Order (“Dissent Rights”). Any Registered Shareholder who dissents from the Arrangement Resolution in compliance with Section 190 of the CBCA, as modified by Article 4 of the Plan of Arrangement, the Interim Order and the Final Order, will, in the event the Arrangement becomes effective, be deemed to have transferred the holder’s

 

62


Tundra Shares to Acquisition Sub and will be entitled to be paid by Acquisition Sub the fair value of the shares held by such Dissenting Shareholder determined as of the close of business on the day prior to approval of the Arrangement Resolution. Tundra Shareholders are cautioned that fair value could be determined to be less than the Consideration.

Section 190 of the CBCA provides that a shareholder may only make a claim under that section with respect to all of the shares of a class held by the shareholder on behalf of any one beneficial owner and registered in the shareholder’s name. One consequence of this provision is that only a Registered Shareholder may exercise the Dissent Rights in respect of the Tundra Shares that are registered in that Tundra Shareholder’s name. None of the following shall be entitled to exercise Dissent Rights: (i) holders of the Tundra Options, (ii) holders of the Tundra RSUs and (iii) holders of Tundra Shares who vote or have instructed a proxyholder to vote such Tundra Shares in favour of the Arrangement Resolution (but only in respect of such Tundra Shares).

In many cases, shares beneficially owned by a Non-Registered Shareholder are registered either: (a) in the name of an Intermediary, or (b) in the name of a clearing agency (such as CDS) of which the Intermediary is a participant. Accordingly, a Non-Registered Shareholder will not be entitled to exercise its Dissent Rights directly unless the Tundra Shares are re-registered in the Non-Registered Shareholder’s name. A Non-Registered Shareholder who wishes to exercise Dissent Rights should immediately contact the Intermediary with whom the Non-Registered Shareholder deals in respect of its Tundra Shares and either: (i) instruct the Intermediary to exercise the Dissent Rights on the Non-Registered Shareholder’s behalf (which, if the Tundra Shares are registered in the name of CDS or other clearing agency, may require that such Tundra Shares first be re-registered in the name of the Intermediary), or (ii) instruct the Intermediary to re-register such Tundra Shares in the name of the Non-Registered Shareholder, in which case the Non-Registered Shareholder would be able to exercise the Dissent Rights directly.

A Registered Shareholder who wishes to dissent must provide a Dissent Notice to Tundra (a) at 603 March Road, Ottawa, Ontario, K2K 2M5; or (b) by facsimile transmission to (613) 592-7120, in either case to be received not later than 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on June 11, 2009 (or the date that is two business days immediately preceding the date set for any adjournment or postponement of the Meeting). Failure to strictly comply with these dissent procedures may result in the loss or unavailability of the right to dissent.

These dissent procedures are different than the statutory dissent procedures of the CBCA which would permit a notice of objection to be provided at or prior to the Meeting. In addition, unlike the statutory dissent procedures of the CBCA, these dissent procedures provide for Acquisition Sub, rather than Tundra, to be the party obliged to pay the fair value for the Tundra Shares (if the Dissenting Shareholder is ultimately determined to be entitled to be paid the fair value thereof) and for Acquisition Sub, rather than Tundra, to be the party obliged to take certain steps and be entitled to exercise certain rights that are attributable to Tundra under the statutory dissent procedures of the CBCA as amended by the Interim Order.

The filing of a Dissent Notice does not deprive a Registered Shareholder of the right to vote at the Meeting. However, the CBCA provides, in effect, that a Registered Shareholder who has submitted a Dissent Notice and who votes for the Arrangement Resolution will no longer be considered a Dissenting Shareholder with respect to that class of shares voted for the Arrangement Resolution, being the Tundra Shares. The CBCA does not provide, and neither Tundra nor Acquisition Sub will assume, that a proxy submitted instructing the proxyholder to vote against the Arrangement Resolution, a vote against the Arrangement Resolution or an abstention constitutes a Dissent Notice, but a Registered Shareholder need not vote its Tundra Shares against the Arrangement Resolution in order to dissent. Similarly, the revocation of a proxy conferring authority on the proxyholder to vote for the Arrangement Resolution does not constitute a Dissent Notice. However, any proxy granted by a Registered Shareholder who intends to dissent, other than a proxy that instructs the proxyholder to vote against the Arrangement Resolution, should be validly revoked in order to prevent the proxyholder from voting such Tundra Shares in favour of the Arrangement Resolution and thereby causing the Registered Shareholder to forfeit its Dissent Rights.

Tundra (or its successor) is required, within 10 days after Tundra Shareholders adopt the Arrangement Resolution, to notify each Dissenting Shareholder that the Arrangement Resolution has been adopted. Such notice is not required to be sent to any Tundra Shareholder who voted for the Arrangement Resolution or who has withdrawn its Dissent Notice.

 

63


A Dissenting Shareholder who has not withdrawn its Dissent Notice prior to the Meeting must then, within 20 days after receipt of notice that the Arrangement Resolution has been adopted, or if the Dissenting Shareholder does not receive such notice, within 20 days after learning that the Arrangement Resolution has been adopted, send to Tundra a written notice (a “Demand for Payment”) containing its name and address, the number of Tundra Shares in respect of which he or she dissents (the “Dissenting Tundra Shares”) and a demand for payment of the fair value of such Dissenting Tundra Shares. Within 30 days after sending the Demand for Payment, the Dissenting Shareholder must send certificates representing the Dissenting Tundra Shares to Tundra or the Transfer Agent. The Transfer Agent will endorse on Tundra Share certificates received from a Dissenting Shareholder a notice that the holder is a Dissenting Shareholder and will forthwith return the Tundra Share certificates to the Dissenting Shareholder. A Dissenting Shareholder who fails to make a Demand for Payment in the time required or to send certificates representing Dissenting Tundra Shares has no right to make a claim under Section 190 of the CBCA.

After sending a Demand for Payment, a Dissenting Shareholder ceases to have any rights as a Tundra Shareholder in respect of its Dissenting Tundra Shares other than the right to be paid the fair value of such Tundra Shares as determined pursuant to Section 190 of the CBCA, unless (a) the Dissenting Shareholder withdraws its Dissent Notice before Acquisition Sub makes an Offer to Pay, (b) Acquisition Sub fails to make an Offer to Pay in accordance with subsection 190(12) of the CBCA and the Dissenting Shareholder withdraws the Demand for Payment, or (c) the Directors revoke the Arrangement Resolution in which case the Dissenting Shareholder’s rights as a Tundra Shareholder will be reinstated.

Pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement, Dissenting Shareholders who are ultimately determined to be entitled to be paid fair value for their Dissenting Tundra Shares shall be deemed to have transferred such Dissenting Tundra Shares to Acquisition Sub at the Effective Time.

Pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement, Dissenting Shareholders who are ultimately determined not to be entitled, for any reason, to be paid fair value for their Dissenting Tundra Shares, shall be deemed to have participated in the Arrangement on the same basis as any non-Dissenting Shareholder.

Acquisition Sub is required, not later than seven days after the later of the Effective Date and the date on which a Demand for Payment is received from a Dissenting Shareholder, to send to each Dissenting Shareholder who has sent a Demand for Payment an Offer to Pay for its Dissenting Tundra Shares in an amount considered by the directors of Acquisition Sub to be the fair value of the Tundra Shares, accompanied by a statement showing the manner in which the fair value was determined. Every Offer to Pay must be on the same terms. Acquisition Sub must pay for the Dissenting Tundra Shares of a Dissenting Shareholder within 10 days after an Offer to Pay has been accepted by a Dissenting Shareholder, but any such offer lapses if Acquisition Sub does not receive an acceptance within 30 days after the Offer to Pay has been made.

If Acquisition Sub fails to make an Offer to Pay for a Dissenting Shareholder’s Dissenting Tundra Shares, or if a Dissenting Shareholder fails to accept an Offer to Pay that has been made, Acquisition Sub may, within 50 days after the Effective Date or within such further period as a court may allow, apply to a court to fix a fair value for the Tundra Shares of Dissenting Shareholders. If Acquisition Sub fails to apply to a court, a Dissenting Shareholder may apply to a court for the same purpose within a further period of 20 days or within such further periods as a court may allow. A Dissenting Shareholder is not required to give security for costs in such an application.

Upon an application to a court, all Dissenting Shareholders whose Dissenting Tundra Shares have not been purchased by Acquisition Sub will be joined as parties and bound by the decision of the court, and Acquisition Sub will be required to notify each affected Dissenting Shareholder of the date, place and consequences of the application and of such Dissenting Shareholder’s right to appear and be heard in person or by counsel. Upon any such application to a court, the court may determine whether any person is a Dissenting Shareholder who should be joined as a party, and the court will then fix a fair value for the Dissenting Tundra Shares of all Dissenting Shareholders. The final order of a court will be rendered against Acquisition Sub in favour of each Dissenting Shareholder for the amount of the fair value of its Dissenting Tundra Shares as fixed by the court. The court may, in its discretion, allow a reasonable rate of interest on the amount payable to each Dissenting Shareholder from the Effective Date until the date of payment.

 

64


Registered Shareholders who are considering exercising Dissent Rights should be aware that there can be no assurance that the fair value of their Tundra Shares, as determined under the applicable provisions of the CBCA (as modified by the Plan of Arrangement, the Interim Order and the Final Order), will be more than or equal to the Consideration under the Arrangement. In addition, any judicial determination of fair value will result in delay of receipt by a Dissenting Shareholder of consideration for such Dissenting Shareholder’s Dissenting Tundra Shares.

The foregoing is only a summary of the Dissenting Shareholder provisions of the CBCA (as modified by the Plan of Arrangement, the Interim Order and the Final Order), which are technical and complex. A complete copy of Section 190 of the CBCA is attached as Appendix G to this Circular. It is recommended that any Registered Shareholder wishing to avail itself of its Dissent Rights under those provisions seek legal advice, as failure to comply strictly with the provisions of the CBCA (as modified by the Plan of Arrangement, the Interim Order and the Final Order) may prejudice its Dissent Rights. For a summary of certain Canadian tax implications to a Dissenting Shareholder, see “Certain Tax Considerations for Securityholders — Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations” and “Certain Tax Considerations for Securityholders — Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” in this Circular.

RISK FACTORS RELATED TO THE ARRANGEMENT

There are risks associated with the completion of the Arrangement. The following risk factors should be carefully considered by Tundra Shareholders in evaluating whether to approve the Arrangement Resolution, in addition to those risk factors set forth under the heading “Information Concerning Tundra — Risk Factors Related to Tundra” in this Circular.

There can be no certainty that all conditions precedent to the Arrangement will be satisfied or waived, or as to the timing of their satisfaction or waiver. Failure to complete the Arrangement could negatively impact the market price of the Tundra Shares.

The completion of the Arrangement is subject to a number of conditions precedent which must be satisfied or waived, some of which are outside the control of IDT and Tundra, including receipt of the Tundra Shareholder Approval and the Final Order. It is also a condition in favour of IDT and Acquisition Sub that, from the date of the Arrangement Agreement to and including the Effective Time, there shall not have occurred a Material Adverse Effect in respect of Tundra. There can be no certainty, nor can Tundra provide any assurance, that these conditions will be satisfied or, if satisfied, when they will be satisfied. See “The Arrangement Agreement — Conditions Precedent to the Arrangement” in this Circular.

If the Arrangement is not completed, for any reason, the market price of the Tundra Shares may be adversely affected. Moreover, if the Arrangement Agreement is terminated, there is no assurance that the Directors will be able to find a party willing to pay an equivalent or a more attractive price for the Tundra Shares than the price that IDT is willing to pay for the Tundra Shares.

The Arrangement Agreement may be terminated by Tundra or IDT and Acquisition Sub in certain circumstances.

Each of Tundra, IDT and Acquisition Sub has the right, in certain circumstances, in addition to termination rights relating to the failure to satisfy the conditions of closing, to terminate the Arrangement Agreement. Accordingly, there can be no certainty, nor can Tundra provide any assurance, that the Arrangement Agreement will not be terminated by either of Tundra, IDT or Acquisition Sub prior to the completion of the Arrangement. For example, the Arrangement Agreement may be terminated by Acquisition Sub if Tundra breaches its non-solicitation obligations. See “The Arrangement Agreement — Termination” in this Circular.

The Termination Fee provided under the Arrangement Agreement may discourage other parties from attempting to acquire Tundra.

Under the Arrangement Agreement, Tundra is required to pay as directed by Acquisition Sub a Termination Fee in the event the Arrangement Agreement is terminated in certain circumstances following the occurrence of a Termination Fee Event. The Termination Fee may discourage other parties from attempting to acquire the Tundra Shares, even if those parties would otherwise be willing to offer greater value to Tundra

Shareholders than that offered by IDT under the Arrangement. See “The Arrangement Agreement —Termination Fees and Expenses” in this Circular.

Tundra as a PFIC

Tundra believes that it is likely that it will be classified as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes for its taxable year ending April 30, 2009 and may be a PFIC for its taxable year that includes the Effective Date. If Tundra has been classified as a PFIC for any taxable year during a U.S. Holder’s holding period of Tundra Shares, a U.S. Holder would be subject to adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences in connection with the Arrangement.

Special, generally unfavorable U.S. federal income tax rules apply to the disposition of the stock of a PFIC. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, a non-U.S. corporation is classified as a PFIC if (a) at least 75% of its gross income in a taxable year is “passive” income, or (b) at least 50% of the value of its assets in a taxable year (based on an average of the quarterly values of the assets for the taxable year) is attributable to assets that produce passive income or are held for the production of passive income. Tundra believes that it is likely that it will be treated as a PFIC for its taxable year ending April 30, 2009, and may also be classified as a PFIC for its taxable year that includes the Effective Date. There can be no assurance that Tundra was not classified as a PFIC in previous years. If Tundra is considered a PFIC for any taxable year during a U.S. Holder’s holding period of Tundra Shares, any gain on a taxable (and, in certain cases, an otherwise non-taxable) disposition of Tundra Shares, including a disposition of Tundra Shares pursuant to the Arrangement, generally would be taxed as ordinary income, as opposed to capital gain, and would be subject to an interest charge in certain circumstances. See “Certain Tax Considerations for Securityholders — Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” in this Circular.

The PFIC rules are extremely complex. Each U.S. investor is encouraged to consult his or her own independent U.S. tax advisor regarding the application of the PFIC rules to such holder, having regard to his or her particular circumstances.

INTEREST OF INFORMED PERSONS IN MATERIAL TRANSACTIONS

Other than as disclosed in this Circular and as set forth above, none of the Directors or executive officers of Tundra are aware of any material interest of any informed person, or any associate or affiliate of such informed person, in any transaction since the beginning of the most recently completed financial year of Tundra which has materially affected Tundra or any of its subsidiaries, in the Arrangement or in any other proposed transaction which would materially affect Tundra or any of its subsidiaries.

OTHER INFORMATION AND MATTERS

There is no information or matter not disclosed in this Circular but known to Tundra that would reasonably be expected to affect the decision of Tundra Shareholders to vote for or against the Arrangement Resolution.

PROXY SOLICITATION AND DEPOSITARY

Georgeson Shareholder Communications Canada Inc. is acting as Tundra’s proxy solicitation agent, for which it will be paid a fee of up to $65,000, plus a fee for each telephone call made by Tundra Shareholders to Georgeson or by Georgeson to the Tundra Shareholders. Georgeson will also be reimbursed for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with the solicitation. The fees and expenses of Georgeson will be paid by Tundra.

Tundra has engaged Computershare Investor Services Inc. to act as depositary for the receipt of Tundra Share certificates and related Letters of Transmittal deposited pursuant to the Arrangement. The Depositary will receive reasonable and customary compensation for its services in connection with the Arrangement, will be reimbursed for certain out-of-pocket expenses and will be indemnified by Tundra against certain liabilities arising out of or in connection with its engagement and expenses in connection therewith.

No fee or commission is payable by any Tundra Shareholder who transmits its Tundra Shares directly to the Depositary. Except as set forth above or elsewhere in this Circular, Tundra will not pay any fees or commissions

 

66


to any broker or dealer or any other person for soliciting deposits of Tundra Shares pursuant to the Arrangement.

LEGAL MATTERS

Certain legal matters in connection with the Arrangement will be passed upon on behalf of Tundra by Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt LLP, as to Canadian and U.S. legal matters, and on behalf of IDT and Acquisition Sub by McCarthy Tétrault LLP, as to Canadian legal matters, and Latham & Watkins LLP, as to U.S. legal matters. As at the date of this Circular, partners and associates of Osler own beneficially, directly or indirectly, less than 1% of the outstanding securities of Tundra and its associates and affiliates.

  (1) In accordance with the Plan of Arrangement, at the Effective Time, Tundra shall accelerate the vesting of each outstanding, unvested In-The-Money Tundra Option in accordance with the terms of the applicable Tundra Stock Option Plan immediately following which each unexercised In-The-Money Tundra Option, without any further action on behalf of any holder of such In-The-Money Tundra Option and without any payment except as provided in the Plan of Arrangement, and subject to (for greater certainty) applicable withholdings in accordance with Section 2.9, shall be transferred by the holder thereof to Tundra in consideration for a cash payment by Tundra equal to the product obtained by multiplying the number of Tundra Shares underlying such In-The-Money Tundra Option by the amount by which the Consideration per Tundra Share exceeds the exercise price of such In The-Money Tundra Option. Each unexercised In-The-Money Tundra Option issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall thereafter be immediately cancelled.

 

  (2)

In accordance with the Plan of Arrangement, at the time specified therein, each Out-Of The- Money Tundra Option, without any further action on behalf of any holder of such Out-Of- The-Money Tundra Option, shall be exchanged into an option (a “Replacement Option”) to purchase from Parent the number of Parent Shares (rounded down to the nearest whole number of such shares) equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the Exchange Ratio by (ii) the number of Tundra Shares subject to such Out-Of-The-Money Tundra Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, and each holder of such exchanged Out-Of-The Money Tundra Option shall immediately become a holder of the number of Replacement Options to which such holder is entitled as a result of the exchange, and each such exchanged Out-Of-The-Money Tundra Option shall be immediately cancelled. For each Out-Of-The- Money Tundra Option, such Replacement Option shall provide for an exercise price per

 

B - 15


 

Parent Share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) in United States dollars equal to (i) the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the exercise price per Tundra Share of such Out-Of-The-Money Tundra Option immediately prior to the Effective Time by (y) the Exchange Ratio, divided by (ii) the Currency Exchange Rate and, except as otherwise set out in the Plan of Arrangement, each Out-Of-The-Money Tundra Option shall continue to be governed by the terms and conditions of the applicable Tundra Stock Option Plan and any stock option agreement pursuant to which such Tundra Option was granted (including, but not limited to, the term to expiry, conditions to and manner of exercising and vesting schedule), with any adjustments deemed to be made thereto as are necessary to ensure consistency with the provisions of the Plan of Arrangement.

Notwithstanding the above provisions of this Section 2.7(2),

 

  (a) with respect to any Out-Of-The-Money Tundra Option, if the Parent Board of Directors determine in good faith that the excess of the aggregate fair market value of the Parent Shares subject to the Replacement Option immediately after the issuance of the Replacement Option over the aggregate option exercise price for such shares pursuant to the Replacement Option (such excess, referred to as the “Post-Exchange Option Value”) would otherwise exceed the excess of the aggregate fair market value of the Tundra Shares subject to such Tundra Option immediately before the issuance of the Replacement Option over the aggregate option exercise price for such shares pursuant to such Tundra Option (such excess, referred to as the “Pre- Exchange Option Value”), the previous provisions in this Section 2.7(2) shall be modified, but only to the extent necessary and in a manner that does not otherwise adversely affect the holder of the Replacement Option, so that the Post-Exchange Option Value does not exceed the Pre-Exchange Option Value; and

 

  (b) with respect only to an Out-Of-The-Money Tundra Option that is held by a resident of the United States, the exercise price and the number of Parent Shares subject to a Replacement Option shall be determined in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the IRC; provided, further, that in the case of any such Out-Of-The-Money Tundra Option which was an incentive stock option (as defined in Section 422 of the IRC) immediately prior to the Effective Time, the exercise price, the number of Parent Shares and the terms and conditions of the Replacement Option shall be determined in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 424(a) of the IRC.

 

  (3) In accordance with the Plan of Arrangement, notwithstanding any contingent vesting provisions to which a Tundra RSU might otherwise have been subject, and without any further action on behalf of any holder of such Tundra RSU and without any payment except as provided in the Plan of Arrangement, at the time specified in the Plan of Arrangement, Tundra shall accelerate the vesting of each outstanding, unvested Tundra RSU in accordance with the terms of the Tundra Restricted Share Unit Plan and Tundra shall, subject to (for greater certainty) applicable withholdings in accordance with Section 2.9, deliver to each holder of a Tundra RSU outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time an amount equal to the Consideration in settlement of each such Tundra RSU.

 

  (4) Tundra shall take all necessary actions to provide the holders of Tundra Options and Tundra RSUs with any applicable notice required by the Tundra Stock Option Plans and/or the Tundra Restricted Share Unit Plan. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, Parent shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the holders of Replacement Options appropriate notice setting forth such holders’ rights pursuant to such Replacement Options.

 

B - 16


  (5) Prior to the Effective Time, the Tundra Board of Directors shall take all necessary action required by, and in accordance with, the Tundra Stock Option Plans and the Tundra Restricted Share Unit Plan in order to give effect to Sections 2.7(1), 2.7(2), 2.7(3) and 2.7(4).

  (4) From and after the Effective Time, the Plan of Arrangement shall have all of the effects provided by applicable Law. The closing of the transactions contemplated hereby shall take place on the Effective Date at the offices of Latham & Watkins LLP, 140 Scott Drive, Menlo Park, California or at such other location as may be agreed upon by the Parties.

Parent, Parent SubCo, Tundra and the Depositary shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts payable to any person pursuant to this Agreement and under this Plan of Arrangement, such amounts as Parent, Parent SubCo, Tundra or the Depositary determines, each acting reasonably, are required or permitted to be deducted or withheld with respect to such payment under the Tax Act, the IRC or any provision of any other applicable Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld or deducted and paid over to the applicable Governmental Entity, such withheld or deducted amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement as having been paid to such person in respect of which such deduction and withholding were made.

 

2.10 Adjustments to Consideration

If, on or after the date hereof, Tundra declares, sets aside or pays any dividend or other distribution payable in cash, securities, property or otherwise with respect to the Tundra Shares, or sets a record date therefor that is prior to the Effective Date, then the Consideration shall be adjusted to reflect such dividend or other distribution by way of a reduction to the Consideration by an amount equal to the value of such dividend or other distribution.

ARTICLE VII

ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS

 

7.1 Notice and Cure Provisions

 

  (1) Each of Tundra and Parent SubCo shall give prompt notice to the other of the occurrence, or failure to occur, at any time from the date hereof until the earlier to occur of the termination of this Agreement and the Effective Time of any event or state of facts which occurrence or failure would, or would be likely to:

 

  (a) cause any of the representations or warranties of such Party (including, in the case of Parent SubCo, Parent) contained herein to be untrue or inaccurate in any material respect on the date hereof or at the Effective Time; or

 

  (b) result in the failure to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by such Party (including, in the case of Parent SubCo, Parent) hereunder prior to the Effective Time.

 

  (2) Parent SubCo may not exercise its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(1)(c)(B) and Tundra may not exercise its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(1)(d)(B) unless the Party seeking to terminate this Agreement shall have delivered a written notice to the other Party specifying in reasonable detail all breaches of covenants, representations and warranties or other matters which the Party delivering such notice is asserting as the basis for the termination right. If any such notice is delivered, provided that a Party is proceeding diligently to cure such matter and such matter is reasonably capable of being cured (except matters arising out of the failure to make appropriate disclosure in Tundra Disclosure Letter), no Party may exercise such termination right until the earlier of (a) the Outside Date and (b) the date that is 30 days following receipt of such notice by the Party to whom the notice was delivered, if such matter has not been cured by such date. If such notice has been delivered prior to the date of the Meeting, such meeting shall, unless the Parties agree otherwise, be postponed or adjourned until the earlier of (i) five business days prior to the Outside Date and (ii) the date that is 30 days following receipt of such notice by the Party to whom the notice was delivered (without causing any breach of any other provision contained herein).

 

  (3) Each Party shall promptly notify the other Parties of (a) any communication from any person alleging that the consent of such person (or another person) is or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (and the response thereto from such Party, its subsidiaries or its representatives), and (b) any material legal actions threatened or commenced against or otherwise affecting such Party or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates that are related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 

7.2 Non-Solicitation

 

  (1) Except as expressly provided in this Section 7.2, Tundra shall not, directly or indirectly, through any officer, director, employee, representative (including any financial or other advisor) or agent of Tundra or any of its subsidiaries (collectively, “Representatives”): (a) solicit, facilitate, encourage or initiate any inquiries or proposals regarding, or that may reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal; (b) encourage or participate in any discussions or negotiations, including by furnishing any information relating to Tundra or any of its subsidiaries or affording access to the business, properties, assets, books or records of Tundra or its subsidiaries, with any person (other than Parent or Parent SubCo) regarding

 

B - 32


 

an Acquisition Proposal; (c) make a Change in Recommendation; (d) accept, approve, endorse or recommend, or propose publicly to accept, approve, endorse or recommend, any Acquisition Proposal; or (e) accept, approve, endorse, recommend or enter into, or publicly propose to accept, approve, endorse, recommend or enter into, any Contract in respect of an Acquisition Proposal (other than a confidentiality and standstill agreement permitted by Section 7.2(3)).

 

  (2) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 7.2, Tundra shall, and shall cause its subsidiaries and Representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated any solicitation, encouragement, discussion or negotiation with any persons conducted heretofore by Tundra, its subsidiaries or any Representatives with respect to, or that may reasonably be expected to lead to, any actual or potential Acquisition Proposal, and, in connection therewith, Tundra shall discontinue access to any such person to the Data Room (and not establish or allow access to any other data rooms, virtual or otherwise or otherwise furnish information) and shall as soon as possible request, to the extent that it is entitled to do so (and exercise all rights it has to require) the return or destruction of all confidential information regarding Tundra and its subsidiaries previously provided to any such person or any other person and shall request (and exercise all rights it has to require) the destruction of all material including or incorporating or otherwise reflecting any material confidential information regarding Tundra and its subsidiaries. Tundra agrees that neither it, nor any of its subsidiaries, shall terminate, waive, amend or modify, and agrees to actively prosecute and enforce, its rights under any agreement containing standstill provisions and any provision of any existing confidentiality agreement or any standstill agreement to which it or any of its subsidiaries is a party, it being acknowledged and agreed that the automatic termination of any standstill provisions of any such agreement as a result of entering into and announcement of this Agreement by Tundra, pursuant to the express terms of any such agreement, shall not be a violation of this Section 7.2(2) and that Tundra shall not be prohibited from considering a Superior Proposal from a party whose standstill obligations terminated automatically upon the entering into and announcement of this Agreement.

 

  (3) Notwithstanding Section 7.2(1), Section 7.2(2) and any other provision of this Agreement, if at any time following the date of this Agreement and prior to obtaining the approval of the Arrangement Resolution by the Tundra Shareholders at the Meeting, Tundra receives a written Acquisition Proposal not resulting from a breach of this Section 7.2 that the Tundra Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal advisors, constitutes or is reasonably likely to constitute (assuming completion of a due diligence review not exceeding 12 calendar days from the date of Tundra’s receipt of the first Acquisition Proposal directly or indirectly from a particular person or any affiliate thereof or joint actor thereof (as defined in the Securities Act) directly or indirectly making the Acquisition Proposal (the “Restricted Period”)) if consummated in accordance with its terms (but not assuming away any risk of non-completion) a Superior Proposal, then Tundra may, following compliance with Section 7.2(4):

 

  (a) furnish information with respect to Tundra and its subsidiaries to the person making such Acquisition Proposal for a period of review not to exceed the Restricted Period; and/or

 

  (b) enter into, participate, facilitate and maintain discussions or negotiations with, and otherwise cooperate with or assist, the person making such Acquisition Proposal for a period of review not to exceed the Restricted Period;

provided that Tundra shall not, and shall not allow its Representatives to, disclose any non-public information to such person without having entered into a confidentiality and standstill

 

B - 33


 

agreement (a correct and complete copy of which confidentiality and standstill agreement shall be provided to Parent SubCo before any such non-public information is provided) with such person that contains provisions that are no less favourable to Tundra than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreements (with the terms of the agreement dated April 15, 2009 governing to the extent of discrepancy with the agreement dated January 23, 2009), provided that such confidentiality and standstill agreement may not include any provision calling for an exclusive right to negotiate with Tundra and may not restrict Tundra or its subsidiaries from complying with this Section 7.2, and Tundra shall promptly provide to Parent SubCo any material non-public information concerning Tundra or its subsidiaries provided to such other person which was not previously provided to Parent SubCo.

 

  (4) Tundra shall promptly (and in any event within 24 hours following receipt) notify Parent SubCo (at first orally and thereafter in writing) in the event it receives after the date hereof any Acquisition Proposal (including any request for non-public information relating to Tundra or any of its subsidiaries or for access to the properties, books or records of Tundra or its subsidiaries, in each case, in connection with, or that may reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal) or any inquiry or proposal that may reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal together with a copy of all documents relating to such Acquisition Proposal or inquiry, and including the material terms and conditions thereof (including the identity of the person making the Acquisition Proposal), and shall regularly and promptly inform Parent SubCo in writing as to the status of developments and communications with respect to such Acquisition Proposal or inquiry, including any changes to the material terms or conditions, of such Acquisition Proposal or inquiry.

 

  (5) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if at any time following the date of this Agreement and prior to obtaining the approval of the Arrangement Resolution by Tundra Shareholders at the Meeting, Tundra receives an Acquisition Proposal not resulting from a breach of this Section 7.2 that the Board of Directors concludes in good faith, after consultation with its financial and outside legal advisors, constitutes a Superior Proposal, the Tundra Board of Directors may, subject to compliance with the procedures set forth in Section 8.1(1)(d)(A), authorize Tundra to terminate this Agreement in order to accept, approve, endorse and recommend such Superior Proposal and, contemporaneously, enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal if the Tundra Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal advisors, that failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, if and only if:

 

  (a) it has provided Parent SubCo with a copy of the Superior Proposal document, together with any financing documents supplied to Tundra in connection therewith, and written confirmation from Tundra that the Tundra Board of Directors has determined that the proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal; and

 

  (b) five business days (the “Matching Period”) shall have elapsed from the date that is the later of (i) the date Parent SubCo received written notice advising Parent SubCo that the Tundra Board of Directors has resolved, subject only to compliance with this Section 7.2 (including complying with the procedures set forth in Section 8.l(1)(d)(A)), to terminate this Agreement in order to accept, approve, endorse and recommend such Superior Proposal and, contemporaneously, enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal and (ii) the date Parent SubCo has received all of the materials set forth in Section 7.2(5)(a) (it being understood that Tundra shall promptly inform Parent SubCo of any amendment to the financial or other material terms of such Superior Proposal during such period).

 

B - 34


  (6) During the Matching Period, Tundra agrees that Parent SubCo (on behalf of Parent and Parent SubCo) shall have the right, but not the obligation, to offer to amend the terms of this Agreement. The Tundra Board of Directors shall review any offer by Parent SubCo to amend the terms of this Agreement in good faith in order to determine, in its discretion in the exercise of its fiduciary duties and in consultation with its financial and outside legal advisors, whether Parent SubCo’s amended offer, upon acceptance by Tundra, would cause the Superior Proposal giving rise to the Matching Period to cease to be a Superior Proposal. If the Tundra Board of Directors so determines, Tundra shall enter into an amended agreement with Parent SubCo reflecting Parent SubCo’s amended offer. If, after the expiry of the Matching Period, the Tundra Board of Directors continues to believe, in good faith, after consultation with its financial and outside legal advisors, that such Superior Proposal remains a Superior Proposal and therefore rejects Parent SubCo’s amended offer, if any, or Parent SubCo fails to enter into an agreement with Tundra reflecting such amended offer, Tundra and the Tundra Board of Directors may, subject to compliance with the other provisions hereof, effect a Change in Recommendation (other than of the type referred to in clause (iv) of the definition thereof) and, subject to payment of the Termination Fee as set forth in Section 8.l(1)(d)(A), terminate this Agreement in order to accept, approve, endorse and recommend such Superior Proposal and, contemporaneously, enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal.

 

  (7) In the event that Tundra provides the notice contemplated by Section 7.2(5)(b) on a date which is less than five business days prior to the Meeting, Parent SubCo shall be entitled to require Tundra to adjourn or postpone the Meeting to a date that is not more than seven business days after the date of such notice.

 

  (8) Tundra acknowledges that each successive modification to any Acquisition Proposal shall constitute a new Acquisition Proposal for purposes of the requirement under Section 7.2(5)(b) and shall initiate a new five business day period. For greater certainty, each such successive modification shall not constitute a new Acquisition Proposal for purposes of Section 7.2(3) and, in any event, shall not give rise to an additional 12 calendar day period or extend a 12 calendar day period that has previously commenced pursuant to Section 7.2(3).

 

  (9) Nothing contained in this Article VII shall prohibit the Tundra Board of Directors from making a Change in Recommendation (other than of the type identified in clause (iv) of the definition thereof) or from making any disclosure to any securityholders of Tundra prior to the Effective Time, including for greater certainty disclosure of a Change in Recommendation, if, in the good faith judgment of the Tundra Board of Directors, after consultation with outside legal counsel, failure to take such action or make such disclosure would be or would reasonably be expected to be a breach of the Tundra Board of Directors’ exercise of its fiduciary duties or such action or disclosure is otherwise required under applicable Law, provided that for greater certainty in the event of a Change of Recommendation and a termination by Parent SubCo of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(1)(c)(A), Tundra shall pay the Termination Fee as required by Section 7.3(2). The Tundra Board of Directors may not make a Change in Recommendation pursuant to the preceding sentence unless Tundra gives Parent SubCo at least two business days prior written notice of its intention to make such Change in Recommendation. In addition, nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent Tundra or the Tundra Board of Directors from calling and holding a meeting of the Tundra Shareholders, or any of them, requisitioned by the Tundra Shareholders, or any of them, in accordance with the CBCA or ordered to be held by a court in accordance with applicable Laws.

 

B - 35


7.3 Termination Fee

 

  (1) Subject to Section 7.4, each Party shall pay all fees, costs and expenses incurred by such Party in connection with this Agreement and the Arrangement.

 

  (2) If a Termination Fee Event occurs, Tundra shall pay as directed by Parent SubCo in writing (by wire transfer of immediately available funds) the Termination Fee in accordance with Section 7.3(3). For the purposes of this Agreement, “Termination Fee” means $5,400,000 and “Termination Fee Event” means:

 

  (a) the termination of this Agreement pursuant to (i) Section 8.1(1)(c)(A), (ii) Section 8.1(1)(d)(A) or (iii) any subsection of Section 8.1 if at such time Parent SubCo is entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(1)(c)(A); or

 

  (b) except where a Termination Fee has been paid, (i) the making or announcement or other public disclosure of an Acquisition Proposal, or an Acquisition Proposal otherwise is discussed with or becomes known to Tundra or the Tundra Board of Directors or an inquiry concerning an Acquisition Proposal is made to Tundra or the Tundra Board of Directors, after the announcement of the transactions contemplated herein and prior to the termination of this Agreement, (ii) the exercise by Tundra or Parent SubCo of their respective termination rights pursuant to Section 8.1(1)(b)(A), or the exercise by Parent SubCo of its termination rights pursuant to Section 8.1(1)(c)(B) or Section 8.1(1)(c)(D), or the exercise by Tundra of its termination rights pursuant to Section 8.1(1)(d)(C) and (iii) an Acquisition Proposal is consummated within a period of one year from the exercise of such termination rights, or an agreement with respect to an Acquisition Proposal is entered into by Tundra and/or any of its subsidiaries within such one year period and such Acquisition Proposal is subsequently consummated within 6 months of the expiry of such one year period; provided that for the purpose of this Section 7.3(2)(b), all references to “20%” in the definition of Acquisition Proposal shall be deemed to be references to “34%.”

 

  (3) If a Termination Fee Event occurs in circumstances described in Section 7.3(2)(a)(ii) or due to a termination of this Agreement by Tundra in circumstances described in Section 7.3(2)(a)(iii), the Termination Fee shall be paid simultaneously with the occurrence of such Termination Fee Event. If a Termination Fee Event occurs due to a termination of this Agreement by Parent SubCo in circumstances described in Section 7.3(2)(a)(i) or (iii), the Termination Fee shall be paid within two business days following such Termination Fee Event. If a Termination Fee Event occurs in the circumstances described in Section 7.3(2)(b), the Termination Fee shall be paid immediately upon the earlier of entry by Tundra and/or any of its subsidiaries into an agreement with respect to an Acquisition Proposal or consummation of an Acquisition Proposal.

 

  (4)

Each of the Parties acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 7.3 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement and that, without those agreements, the Parties would not enter into this Agreement. Tundra acknowledges that the payment amounts set out in Section 7.3(2) are payments of liquidated damages which are a genuine pre-estimate of the damages which Parent and Parent SubCo will suffer or incur as a result of the event giving rise to such payment and the resultant termination of this Agreement and are not penalties. Tundra irrevocably waives any right that it may have to raise as a defense that any such liquidated damages are excessive or punitive. For greater certainty, each Party agrees that, upon any termination of this Agreement under circumstances where

 

B - 36


 

Parent SubCo is entitled to, and directs payment of, the Termination Fee, provided the Termination Fee is paid in full, Parent and Parent SubCo shall be precluded from any other remedy against Tundra at law or in equity or otherwise (including, without limitation, an order for specific performance), and shall not seek to obtain any recovery, judgment, or damages of any kind, including consequential, indirect, or punitive damages, against Tundra or any of its subsidiaries or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, partners, managers, members, shareholders or affiliates in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions contemplated hereby.

 

  (5) Nothing in this Section 7.3 shall preclude a Party from seeking injunctive relief to restrain any breach or threatened breach of the covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreements or the Plan of Arrangement or to obtain specific performance of any such covenants or agreements, without the necessity of posting bond or security in connection therewith.

 

7.4 Expense Fees

 

  (1) In the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to the exercise (i) by Parent SubCo of its rights pursuant to Sections 8.1(l)(c)(B), 8.1(l)(c)(C) or 8.1(1)(c)(D), or (ii) by Tundra of its rights pursuant to Section 8.1(1)(d)(C), in addition to the rights of Parent SubCo under Section 7.3(2) (including to any payment thereunder), Tundra shall pay as directed by Parent SubCo, within two business days following such termination, by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account designated by Parent SubCo an amount equal to all of the charges and expenses incurred by Parent SubCo in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions and the financing thereof, up to a maximum amount of $750,000.

 

  (2) In the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to the exercise by Tundra of its rights pursuant to Section 8.1(1)(d)(B), Parent SubCo shall pay to Tundra, within two business days following such termination, by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account designated by Tundra, an amount equal to all of the charges and expenses incurred by Tundra in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions, up to a maximum amount of $750,000.

 

  (3) In no event shall Tundra be obligated to pay to Parent SubCo under Sections 7.3 and 7.4 an amount in respect of the termination of this Agreement that is, in aggregate, in excess of the Termination Fee.

 

  (4) For greater certainty, each Party further agrees that any payment of amounts under this Section 7.4 shall not be exclusive of any other remedies to which the Parties may be entitled as a result of the termination of this Agreement.

 

7.5 Access to Information; Confidentiality Agreements

 

  (1) From the date hereof until the earlier of the Effective Time and the termination of this Agreement, subject to compliance with applicable Law and the terms of any Contract of Tundra or its subsidiaries, Tundra shall:

 

  (a) give to Parent SubCo and its representatives reasonable access to the officers, employees, agents, offices, properties (including for the purpose of conducting environmental assessments and investigations), books and records, including correspondence with regulators and work papers, of Tundra and its subsidiaries; and

  (2) Any investigation pursuant to this Section 7.5 shall be conducted during normal business hours and in such manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the conduct of the business of Tundra and its subsidiaries.

 

  (3) For greater certainty, the Parties shall treat, and shall cause their respective representatives to treat, all information furnished to them or any of such representatives in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or pursuant to the terms of this Agreement in accordance with the terms of the Confidentiality Agreements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the Tundra Disclosure Letter and all information contained in it is confidential and shall be treated in accordance with the terms of the Confidentiality Agreements. However, nothing subject to the Confidentiality Agreements nor anything contained herein shall limit the ability of any person to disclose such information as is required by Law.

 

7.6 Interim Period Consents

 

  (1) Parent SubCo shall, promptly following the date hereof, designate two individuals from either of whom Tundra may seek approval to undertake any actions not otherwise permitted to be taken under Section 5.1, and shall ensure that such persons shall respond, on behalf of Parent SubCo, to Tundra’s requests in an expeditious manner.

B - 38


  (2) Tundra and Parent SubCo agree that all rights to indemnification or exculpation existing in favour of the directors or officers of Tundra or any subsidiary of Tundra as at the date of this Agreement as provided in Tundra’s articles or bylaws shall survive the transactions contemplated hereby and shall continue in full force and effect for a period of not less than six years from the Effective Time.

 

  (3) If Tundra or, following the Effective Time, Parent or any of their successors or assigns shall (a) amalgamate, consolidate with or merge or wind-up into any other person and, if applicable, shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity; or (b) transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any person or persons, then, and in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors, assigns and transferees of Tundra or Parent SubCo, as the case may be, shall assume all of the obligations set forth in this Section 7.7.

 

  (4) The provisions of this Section 7.7 shall survive the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and are intended for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, the directors and officers of Tundra, and their respective heirs, executors, administrators and personal representatives and shall be binding on Tundra and its successors and assigns, and, for this purpose only, Tundra hereby confirms that it is acting as trustee on their behalf.

 

7.8 Cooperation Regarding Reorganization

 

  (1)

Tundra will use commercially reasonable efforts to effect, at the request of Parent SubCo, the Pre-Closing Reorganization and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Parent SubCo and Parent in structuring, planning and implementing any reorganization (including for Tax purposes) of their respective capital, assets and corporate structure or such other planning as Parent SubCo may request, acting reasonably (an “Additional Reorganization”) prior to the Effective Date, and the Plan of Arrangement, if required, shall be modified accordingly; provided, however, that the obligations of Tundra pursuant to this Section 7.8 shall be conditional on the understanding that (i) the Pre-Closing Reorganization and any Additional Reorganization shall not, in the opinion of Tundra, acting reasonably, materially impede or materially delay the consummation of the Arrangement, (ii) the Pre- Closing Reorganization and any Additional Reorganization shall not, in the opinion of Tundra, acting reasonably, materially interfere with the ongoing operations of Tundra or its subsidiaries, (iii) the Pre-Closing Reorganization and any Additional Reorganization shall not require Tundra or any subsidiary to contravene any applicable Laws or their respective organizational documents or any Tundra Material Contract in any material respect, (iv) Tundra and its subsidiaries shall not be obligated to take any action that would reasonably be expected to result in any taxes being imposed on, or any adverse tax or other consequences to, any holders of Tundra Shares incrementally greater than the taxes or other consequences to such holders in connection with the consummation of the Arrangement in the absence of the Pre-Closing Reorganization and any Additional Reorganization, and (v) Tundra, its subsidiaries and their respective officers, directors and employees (to the extent employees are assessed with statutory liability thereto), shall have received an indemnity, in form and substance satisfactory to Tundra, acting reasonably, from Parent and Parent SubCo from and against any and all implementation costs, liabilities, costs, damages, claims, expenses, interest, awards, judgments and penalties that may be incurred as a result of or to unwind any Pre-Closing Reorganization or Additional Reorganization suffered or incurred by any of them in connection with or as a result of the Pre-Closing Reorganization and any Additional Reorganization if this Agreement is terminated other than pursuant to Section 8.1(1)(c)(A), Section 8.1(1)(c)(B) or Section 8.1(1)(d)(A), which indemnity shall survive termination of this Agreement. Any step or action taken by Tundra or its subsidiaries at the written request of Parent SubCo in furtherance of the proposed Pre-Closing Reorganization and any

 

B - 39


 

Additional Reorganization shall not be considered to be a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of Tundra contained in this Agreement.

 

  (2) To the extent that the Pre-Closing Reorganization and any Additional Reorganization requires approval of the holders of Tundra Shares under the CBCA, Tundra shall (i) seek approval of the holders of Tundra Shares for such Pre-Closing Reorganization and any Additional Reorganization at the Meeting, (ii) include in the Tundra Circular a form of special resolution of holders of Tundra Shares (the “Reorganization Resolution”) approving such Pre-Closing Reorganization and any Additional Reorganization in form and substance acceptable to Parent SubCo, acting reasonably, either included within the Arrangement Resolution or separate from the Arrangement Resolution if so requested by Parent SubCo, and (iii) include in the Tundra Circular the unanimous recommendation (subject to the abstention of Mr. Shlapak on account of him also being a director of Gennum) of the Tundra Board of Directors that holders of Tundra Shares vote in favour of the Reorganization Resolution, provided that Parent SubCo agrees to amend the provisions of this Agreement requiring Tundra to take certain action by specified times, including such provisions contained in Article II, to the extent necessary to facilitate the foregoing. Subject to the provisions of this Section 7.8, the provisions in this Agreement regarding Tundra’s obligations respecting the approval of the Arrangement Resolution shall apply mutatis mutandis to the approval of the Reorganization Resolution.

 

  (3) Tundra agrees that it shall, and shall cause each of its subsidiaries to, co-operate with Parent SubCo and Parent in good faith to plan, prepare and implement the Pre-Closing Reorganization and any Additional Reorganization as desirable and requested by Parent SubCo.

ARTICLE III

ARRANGEMENT

 

3.1 The Arrangement

Commencing at the Effective Time on the Effective Date, each of the events set out below shall occur and shall be deemed to occur in the following order and be effective at the times stated, without any further authorization, act or formality:

 

  (1) At the Effective Time, Tundra shall accelerate the vesting of each outstanding, unvested In-The-Money Tundra Option in accordance with the terms of the applicable Tundra Stock Option Plan immediately following which each In-The-Money Tundra Option that is outstanding and has not been duly exercised prior to the Effective Time, without any further action on behalf of any holder of such In-The-Money Tundra Option and without any payment except as provided in this Plan of Arrangement, and subject to (for greater certainty) applicable withholdings in accordance with Section 5.3, shall be transferred by the holder thereof to Tundra in consideration for a cash payment by Tundra equal to the product obtained by multiplying the amount by which the Consideration per Tundra Share exceeds the exercise price of such In-The-Money Tundra Option by the number of Tundra Shares underlying each such In-The-Money Tundra Option. Each In-The-Money Tundra Option issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall thereafter be immediately cancelled and the holder thereof shall thereafter have only the right to receive the consideration to which such holder is entitled pursuant to this Section 3.1(1).

 

  (2)

Five minutes following the step contemplated in Section 3.1(1), notwithstanding any contingent vesting provisions to which a Tundra RSU might otherwise have been subject, and without any further action on behalf of any holder of such Tundra RSU and without any payment except as provided in this Plan of Arrangement, Tundra shall accelerate the vesting of each outstanding, unvested Tundra RSU in accordance with the terms of the Tundra Restricted Share Unit Plan and Tundra shall, subject to (for greater certainty) applicable withholdings in accordance with Section 5.3, deliver to each holder of a Tundra RSU outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time an amount equal to the Consideration in

 

B - 52


 

cash in settlement of each such Tundra RSU. Each Tundra RSU issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall thereafter be immediately cancelled and all Tundra RSU agreements related thereto shall be immediately terminated and the holder thereof shall thereafter have only the right to receive the consideration to which such holder is entitled pursuant to this Section 3.1(2). The Tundra Restricted Share Unit Plan shall be terminated and none of Tundra, Parent, Parent SubCo or any of their affiliates shall have any liabilities or obligations with respect to such plan except pursuant to this Section 3.1(2).

 

  (3) Five minutes following the step contemplated in Section 3.1(2), each Tundra Share held by a Dissenting Shareholder immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be deemed to be transferred by the holder thereof, without any act or formality on its part, free and clear of all Liens, to Parent SubCo and Parent SubCo shall thereupon be obliged to pay the amount therefor determined and payable in accordance with Article IV hereof, and the name of such holder shall be removed from the register of holders of Tundra Shares and Parent SubCo shall be recorded as the registered holder of the Tundra Shares so transferred and shall be deemed to be the legal and beneficial owner of such Tundra Shares.

 

  (4) Five minutes following the step contemplated in Section 3.1(2), each Tundra Share (other than those held by a Dissenting Shareholder or Parent SubCo) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be transferred by the holder thereof to Parent SubCo and each holder thereof shall be entitled to receive, in exchange therefor and subject to the provisions of Section 3.3 hereof, a cash amount equal to the Consideration, and the names of the holders of such Tundra Shares transferred to Parent SubCo shall be removed from the register of holders of Tundra Shares, and Parent SubCo shall be recorded as the registered holder of the Tundra Shares so transferred and shall be the legal and beneficial owner thereof.

 

  (5) Five minutes following the steps contemplated in Sections 3.1(3) and (4), each Out-Of-The-Money Tundra Option that is outstanding and that has not been duly exercised prior to the Effective Time, whether or not vested, without any further action on behalf of any holder of such Out-Of-The-Money Tundra Option, shall be exchanged for an option (a “Replacement Option”) to purchase from Parent the number of Parent Shares (rounded down to the nearest whole number of such shares) equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the Exchange Ratio by (ii) the number of Tundra Shares subject to such Out-Of-The-Money Tundra Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, and each holder of such exchanged Out-Of-The-Money Tundra Option shall immediately become a holder of the number of Replacement Options to which such holder is entitled as a result of the exchange, and each such exchanged Out-Of-The-Money Tundra Option shall be immediately cancelled. For each Out-Of-The-Money Tundra Option, such Replacement Option shall provide for an exercise price per Parent Share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) in United States dollars equal to (i) the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the exercise price per Tundra Share of such Out-Of-The-Money Tundra Option immediately prior to the Effective Time by (y) the Exchange Ratio, divided by (ii) the Currency Exchange Rate.

Except as otherwise set out in this section 3.1(5), each Replacement Option shall be governed by the terms and conditions of the Tundra Stock Option Plan and any stock option agreement pursuant to which such Tundra Option was granted (including, but not limited to, the term to expiry, conditions to and manner of exercising and vesting schedule), with any adjustments deemed to be made thereto as are necessary to ensure consistency with the provisions of this Section 3.1(5).

 

B - 53


Notwithstanding the above provisions of this Section 3.1(5),

(i) with respect to any Out-Of-The-Money Tundra Option, if the directors of Parent determine in good faith that the excess of the aggregate fair market value of the Parent Shares subject to the Replacement Option immediately after the issuance of the Replacement Option over the aggregate option exercise price for such shares pursuant to the Replacement Option (such excess, referred to as the “Post-Exchange Option Value”) would otherwise exceed the excess of the aggregate fair market value of the Tundra Shares subject to such Tundra Option immediately before the issuance of the Replacement Option over the aggregate option exercise price for such shares pursuant to such Tundra Option (such excess, referred to as the “Pre-Exchange Option Value”), the previous provisions in this Section 3.1(5) shall be modified, but only to the extent necessary and in a manner that does not otherwise adversely affect the holder of the Replacement Option, so that the Post-Exchange Option Value does not exceed the Pre-Exchange Option Value; and

(ii) with respect only to an Out-Of-The-Money Tundra Option that is held by a resident of the United States, the exercise price and the number of Parent Shares subject to a Replacement Option shall be determined in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the IRC; provided, further, that in the case of any such Out-Of-The-Money Tundra Option which was an incentive stock option (as defined in Section 422 of the IRC) immediately prior to the Effective Time, the exercise price, the number of Parent Shares and the terms and conditions of the Replacement Option shall be determined in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 424(a) of the IRC.

 

3.2 Transfers Free and Clear

Any transfer of any securities pursuant to the Arrangement shall be free and clear of all Liens.

 

3.3 Adjustment to Consideration

 

  (1) Any cash consideration owing to a Tundra Shareholder, a holder of In-The-Money Tundra Options or a holder of Tundra RSUs shall be rounded up to the next whole cent.

 

  (2) If, on or after April 30, 2009, Tundra declares, sets aside or pays any dividend or other distribution payable in cash, securities, property or otherwise with respect to the Tundra Shares, or sets a record date therefor that is prior to the Effective Date, then the Consideration shall be adjusted to reflect such dividend or other distribution by way of a reduction to the Consideration by an amount equal to the value of such dividend or other distribution.

ARTICLE III

ARRANGEMENT

 

3.1 The Arrangement

Commencing at the Effective Time on the Effective Date, each of the events set out below shall occur and shall be deemed to occur in the following order and be effective at the times stated, without any further authorization, act or formality:

 

  (1) At the Effective Time, Tundra shall accelerate the vesting of each outstanding, unvested In-The-Money Tundra Option in accordance with the terms of the applicable Tundra Stock Option Plan immediately following which each In-The-Money Tundra Option that is outstanding and has not been duly exercised prior to the Effective Time, without any further action on behalf of any holder of such In-The-Money Tundra Option and without any payment except as provided in this Plan of Arrangement, and subject to (for greater certainty) applicable withholdings in accordance with Section 5.3, shall be transferred by the holder thereof to Tundra in consideration for a cash payment by Tundra equal to the product obtained by multiplying the amount by which the Consideration per Tundra Share exceeds the exercise price of such In-The-Money Tundra Option by the number of Tundra Shares underlying each such In-The-Money Tundra Option. Each In-The-Money Tundra Option issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall thereafter be immediately cancelled and the holder thereof shall thereafter have only the right to receive the consideration to which such holder is entitled pursuant to this Section 3.1(1).

 

  (2) Five minutes following the step contemplated in Section 3.1(1), notwithstanding any contingent vesting provisions to which a Tundra RSU might otherwise have been subject, and without any further action on behalf of any holder of such Tundra RSU and without any payment except as provided in this Plan of Arrangement, Tundra shall accelerate the vesting of each outstanding, unvested Tundra RSU in accordance with the terms of the

 

C - 5


 

Tundra Restricted Share Unit Plan and Tundra shall, subject to (for greater certainty) applicable withholdings in accordance with Section 5.3, deliver to each holder of a Tundra RSU outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time an amount equal to the Consideration in cash in settlement of each such Tundra RSU. Each Tundra RSU issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall thereafter be immediately cancelled and all Tundra RSU agreements related thereto shall be immediately terminated and the holder thereof shall thereafter have only the right to receive the consideration to which such holder is entitled pursuant to this Section 3.1(2). The Tundra Restricted Share Unit Plan shall be terminated and none of Tundra, Parent, Parent SubCo or any of their affiliates shall have any liabilities or obligations with respect to such plan except pursuant to this Section 3.1(2).

 

  (3) Five minutes following the step contemplated in Section 3.1(2), each Tundra Share held by a Dissenting Shareholder immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be deemed to be transferred by the holder thereof, without any act or formality on its part, free and clear of all Liens, to Parent SubCo and Parent SubCo shall thereupon be obliged to pay the amount therefor determined and payable in accordance with Article IV hereof, and the name of such holder shall be removed from the register of holders of Tundra Shares and Parent SubCo shall be recorded as the registered holder of the Tundra Shares so transferred and shall be deemed to be the legal and beneficial owner of such Tundra Shares.

 

  (4) Five minutes following the step contemplated in Section 3.1(2), each Tundra Share (other than those held by a Dissenting Shareholder or Parent SubCo) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be transferred by the holder thereof to Parent SubCo and each holder thereof shall be entitled to receive, in exchange therefor and subject to the provisions of Section 3.3 hereof, a cash amount equal to the Consideration, and the names of the holders of such Tundra Shares transferred to Parent SubCo shall be removed from the register of holders of Tundra Shares, and Parent SubCo shall be recorded as the registered holder of the Tundra Shares so transferred and shall be the legal and beneficial owner thereof.

 

  (5) Five minutes following the steps contemplated in Sections 3.1(3) and (4), each Out-Of-The-Money Tundra Option that is outstanding and that has not been duly exercised prior to the Effective Time, whether or not vested, without any further action on behalf of any holder of such Out-Of-The-Money Tundra Option, shall be exchanged for an option (a “Replacement Option”) to purchase from Parent the number of Parent Shares (rounded down to the nearest whole number of such shares) equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the Exchange Ratio by (ii) the number of Tundra Shares subject to such Out-Of-The-Money Tundra Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, and each holder of such exchanged Out-Of-The-Money Tundra Option shall immediately become a holder of the number of Replacement Options to which such holder is entitled as a result of the exchange, and each such exchanged Out-Of-The-Money Tundra Option shall be immediately cancelled. For each Out-Of-The-Money Tundra Option, such Replacement Option shall provide for an exercise price per Parent Share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) in United States dollars equal to (i) the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the exercise price per Tundra Share of such Out-Of-The-Money Tundra Option immediately prior to the Effective Time by (y) the Exchange Ratio, divided by (ii) the Currency Exchange Rate.

Except as otherwise set out in this section 3.1(5), each Replacement Option shall be governed by the terms and conditions of the Tundra Stock Option Plan and any stock option agreement pursuant to which such Tundra Option was granted (including, but not

 

C - 6


limited to, the term to expiry, conditions to and manner of exercising and vesting schedule), with any adjustments deemed to be made thereto as are necessary to ensure consistency with the provisions of this Section 3.1(5).

Notwithstanding the above provisions of this Section 3.1(5),

(i) with respect to any Out-Of-The-Money Tundra Option, if the directors of Parent determine in good faith that the excess of the aggregate fair market value of the Parent Shares subject to the Replacement Option immediately after the issuance of the Replacement Option over the aggregate option exercise price for such shares pursuant to the Replacement Option (such excess, referred to as the “Post-Exchange Option Value”) would otherwise exceed the excess of the aggregate fair market value of the Tundra Shares subject to such Tundra Option immediately before the issuance of the Replacement Option over the aggregate option exercise price for such shares pursuant to such Tundra Option (such excess, referred to as the “Pre-Exchange Option Value”), the previous provisions in this Section 3.1(5) shall be modified, but only to the extent necessary and in a manner that does not otherwise adversely affect the holder of the Replacement Option, so that the Post-Exchange Option Value does not exceed the Pre-Exchange Option Value; and

(ii) with respect only to an Out-Of-The-Money Tundra Option that is held by a resident of the United States, the exercise price and the number of Parent Shares subject to a Replacement Option shall be determined in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the IRC; provided, further, that in the case of any such Out-Of-The-Money Tundra Option which was an incentive stock option (as defined in Section 422 of the IRC) immediately prior to the Effective Time, the exercise price, the number of Parent Shares and the terms and conditions of the Replacement Option shall be determined in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 424(a) of the IRC.

 

3.2 Transfers Free and Clear

Any transfer of any securities pursuant to the Arrangement shall be free and clear of all Liens.

 

3.3 Adjustment to Consideration

 

  (1) Any cash consideration owing to a Tundra Shareholder, a holder of In-The-Money Tundra Options or a holder of Tundra RSUs shall be rounded up to the next whole cent.

 

  (2) If, on or after April 30, 2009, Tundra declares, sets aside or pays any dividend or other distribution payable in cash, securities, property or otherwise with respect to the Tundra Shares, or sets a record date therefor that is prior to the Effective Date, then the Consideration shall be adjusted to reflect such dividend or other distribution by way of a reduction to the Consideration by an amount equal to the value of such dividend or other distribution.

ARTICLE IV

RIGHTS TO DISSENT

 

4.1 Rights of Dissent

Registered holders of the Tundra Shares may exercise, pursuant to and in the manner set forth in Section 190 of the CBCA, the right of dissent in connection with the Arrangement, as same may be modified by the

Interim Order and this Section 4.1 (“Dissent Rights”); provided that, notwithstanding subsection 190(5) of the CBCA, any registered holder who wishes to dissent must, as a condition precedent thereto, provide written objection to the Arrangement Resolution to Tundra in the form required by section 190 of the CBCA and the Arrangement Agreement, which written objection must be received by Tundra not later than 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the business day which is two business days immediately preceding the Meeting (or any adjournment or postponement thereof), subject to the particular terms of the Interim Order, and must otherwise strictly comply with the requirements of the CBCA. Registered holders of the Tundra Shares who duly and validly exercise such Dissent Rights and who:

 

  (1) are ultimately entitled to be paid by Parent SubCo the fair value for their Tundra Shares, (i) shall be deemed to have transferred the Tundra Shares held by them and in respect of which Dissent Rights have been duly and validly exercised to Parent SubCo, without any further act or formality, free and clear of all Liens at the time specified in Section 3.1(3), in consideration of a debt claim against Parent SubCo to be paid the fair value of such Tundra Shares and (ii) shall be entitled to be paid by Parent SubCo an amount equal to the fair value of such Tundra Shares, and shall not be entitled to any other payment or consideration, including any payment that would be payable under the Arrangement had such registered holders not exercised their Dissent Rights in respect of such Tundra Shares; or

  (1)

At or before the Effective Time, (i) Parent SubCo shall deposit or cause to be deposited with the Depositary, for the benefit of and in trust for holders of Tundra Shares, the aggregate amount of cash payable under Sections 3.1(3) and (4) (with the amount per Tundra Share in respect of which Dissent Rights have been exercised being deemed to be equal to the Consideration for this purpose only); (ii) Tundra shall deposit or cause to be deposited with the Depositary, for the benefit of and in trust for holders of In-The-Money Tundra Options, the aggregate money required for payments in respect of the In-The-Money Tundra Options pursuant to Section 3.1(1), and (iii) Tundra shall deposit or cause to be deposited with the Depositary, for the benefit of and in trust for holders of Tundra RSUs, the aggregate money required for the payments in respect of the Tundra RSUs pursuant to Section 3.1(2).

dollars in same day funds payable at Toronto, Ontario. Such money shall not be used for any purpose except as provided in this Plan of Arrangement.

 

  (2) Upon the surrender to the Depositary of a certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding Tundra Shares, together with a duly completed and executed Letter of Transmittal, and such additional documents and instruments as the Depositary may reasonably require, the holder of the Tundra Shares represented by such surrendered certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor from the Depositary, and the Depositary shall deliver to such holder as soon as possible, a cheque (or other form of immediately available funds) representing the amount of cash such holder is entitled to receive under the Arrangement in accordance with Section 3.1(4) for such Tundra Shares, less any amounts withheld pursuant to Section 5.3.

 

  (3) As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, the Depositary shall deliver on behalf of Tundra to each holder of In-The-Money-Tundra Options, as reflected on the books and records of Tundra, a cheque (or other form of immediately available funds) for the amount of cash such holder is entitled to receive under the Arrangement in accordance with Section 3.1(1).

In the event that any certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented one or more outstanding Tundra Shares that were transferred pursuant to Section 3.1(4) shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, the Depositary will deliver in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, cash deliverable in accordance with such holder’s Letter of Transmittal. When authorizing such payment in exchange for any lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, the person to whom such cash is to be delivered shall, as a condition precedent to the delivery of such cash, give a bond satisfactory to Parent and Parent SubCo and the Depositary (acting reasonably) in such sum as Parent and Parent SubCo may direct, or otherwise indemnify Parent, Parent SubCo and Tundra in a manner satisfactory to Parent, Parent SubCo and Tundra, acting reasonably, against any claim that may be made against Parent, Parent SubCo or Tundra with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

Parent, Parent SubCo, Tundra, and the Depositary shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts payable to any person under this Plan of Arrangement (including, without limitation, any amounts payable pursuant to Sections 3.1 and 5.1), such amounts as Parent, Parent SubCo, Tundra or the Depositary determines, acting reasonably, are required or permitted to be deducted or withheld with respect to such payment under the Tax Act, the IRC or any provision of any other applicable Law.

FAIRNESS OPINION OF CITIGROUP GLOBAL MARKETS INC.

LOGO

April 25, 2009

The Board of Directors

Tundra Semiconductor Corporation

603 March Road

Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

K2K 2M5

Members of the Board:

You have requested our opinion as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to the holders of common shares (“Tundra Common Shares”) in the capital of Tundra Semiconductor Corporation (“Tundra”) of the Consideration (defined below) to be received by such holders pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Arrangement Agreement (the “Arrangement Agreement”) proposed to be entered into among Tundra, Integrated Device Technology, Inc., (“Parent”) and 4440471 Canada Inc., (“Parent SubCo”). As more fully described in the Arrangement Agreement, Parent SubCo will acquire all of the outstanding Tundra Common Shares (such acquisition, the “Acquisition”), and each holder of Tundra Common Shares (other than certain Tundra Common Shares specified in the Arrangement Agreement) shall be entitled to receive, in exchange for each Tundra Common Share, Cdn$6.25 in cash (the “Consideration”).

In arriving at our opinion, we reviewed the Arrangement Agreement considered by the Board of Directors of Tundra on the date hereof and held discussions with certain senior officers, directors and other representatives and advisors of Tundra concerning the businesses, operations and prospects of Tundra. We examined certain publicly available business and financial information relating to Tundra as well as certain financial forecasts and other information and data relating to Tundra which were provided to or discussed with us by the management of Tundra. We reviewed the financial terms of the Acquisition as set forth in the Arrangement Agreement in relation to, among other things: current and historical market prices and trading volumes of Tundra Common Shares; the historical and projected earnings and other operating data of Tundra; and the capitalization and financial condition of Tundra. We considered, to the extent publicly available, the financial terms of certain other transactions which we considered relevant in evaluating the Acquisition and analyzed certain financial, stock market and other publicly available information relating to the businesses of other companies whose operations we considered relevant in evaluating those of Tundra. In connection with our engagement and at the direction of Tundra, we were requested to approach, and we held discussions with, selected third parties to solicit indications of interest in the possible acquisition of Tundra. In addition to the foregoing, we conducted such other analyses and examinations and considered such other information and financial, economic and market criteria as we deemed appropriate in arriving at our opinion. The issuance of our opinion has been authorized by our fairness opinion committee.

In rendering our opinion, we have assumed and relied, without independent verification, upon the accuracy and completeness of all financial and other information and data publicly available or provided to or otherwise reviewed by or discussed with us and upon the assurances of the management of Tundra that they are not aware of any relevant information that has been omitted or that remains undisclosed to us. With respect to financial forecasts and other information and data relating to Tundra provided to or otherwise reviewed by or discussed with us, we have been advised by the management of Tundra that

such forecasts and other information and data were reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the best currently available estimated and judgments of the management of Tundra as to the future financial performance of Tundra.

We have assumed, with your consent, that the Acquisition will be consummated in accordance with its terms, without waiver, modification or amendment of any material term, condition or agreement and that, in the course of obtaining the necessary judicial, regulatory or third party approvals, consents and releases for the Acquisition, no delay, limitation, restriction or condition will be imposed that would have an adverse effect on Tundra or the Acquisition. Representatives of Tundra have advised us, and we further have assumed, that the terms of the executed Arrangement Agreement will not vary materially from those set forth in the Arrangement Agreement reviewed by us. We have not made or been provided with an independent evaluation or appraisal of the assets or liabilities (contingent or otherwise) of Tundra nor have we made any physical inspection of the properties or assets of Tundra. We have not been asked to prepare, nor have we made, an independent valuation of Tundra, nor should our opinion be construed as a valuation of Tundra under Canadian securities laws or otherwise. Our opinion does not address the underlying business decision of Tundra to effect the Acquisition, the relative merits of the Acquisition as compared to any alternative business strategies that might exist for Tundra or the effect of any other transaction in which Tundra might engage. We also express no view as to, and our opinion does not address, the fairness (financial or otherwise) of the amount or nature or any other aspect of any compensation to any officers, directors or employees of any parties to the Acquisition, or any class of such persons, relative to the Consideration. Our opinion is necessarily based upon information available to us, and financial, stock market and other conditions and circumstances existing, as of the date hereof.

Citigroup Global Markets Inc. has acted as financial advisor to Tundra in connection with the proposed Acquisition and will receive a fee for such services, a significant portion of which is contingent upon the consummation of the Acquisition. In the ordinary course of our business, we and our affiliates may actively trade or hold the securities of Tundra and Parent for our own account or for the account of our customers and, accordingly, may at any time hold a long or short position in such securities. In addition, we and our affiliates (including Citigroup Inc. and its affiliates) may maintain relationships with Tundra, Parent and their respective affiliates. We are not an insider, affiliate or associate of Tundra or its related entities for purposes of Canadian securities law.

Our advisory services and the opinion expressed herein are provided for the information of the Board of Directors of Tundra in its evaluation of the proposed Acquisition, and our opinion is not intended to be and does not constitute a recommendation to any stockholder as to how such stockholder should vote or act on any matters relating to the proposed Acquisition.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, our experience as investment bankers, our work as described above and other factors we deemed relevant, we are of the opinion that, as of the date hereof, the Consideration is fair, from a financial point of view, to the holders of Tundra Common Shares.

Very truly yours,

E - 6

the Meeting, shall be those Tundra Shareholders who hold common shares of Tundra as of the close of business on the Record Date. Illegible votes, spoiled votes, defective votes and abstentions shall be deemed to be votes not cast.

20. THIS COURT ORDERS that each registered Tundra Shareholder shall be entitled to exercise Dissent Rights in connection with the Arrangement Resolution in accordance with section 190 of the CBCA (except as the procedures of that section are varied by this Interim Order and the Plan of Arrangement) provided that, notwithstanding subsection 190(5) of the CBCA, any Tundra Shareholder who wishes to dissent must, as a condition

 

E - 7


- 8 -

 

 

precedent thereto, provide written objection to the Arrangement Resolution to Tundra in the form required by section 190 of the CBCA and the Arrangement Agreement, which written objection must be received by Tundra not later than 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the business day that is two business days immediately preceding the Meeting (or any adjournment or postponement thereof), and must otherwise strictly comply with the requirements of the CBCA. For purposes of these proceedings, the “court” referred to in section 190 of the CBCA means this Honourable Court.

 

21. THIS COURT ORDERS that Acquisition Sub, not Tundra, shall be required to offer to pay fair value, determined as of the close of business on the day prior to approval of the Arrangement Resolution, for Tundra Shares held by Tundra Shareholders who duly exercise Dissent Rights, in accordance with subsection 190(12) of the CBCA and otherwise subject to section 190 of the CBCA as modified by this Interim Order, and to pay the amount to which such Tundra Shareholders may be entitled pursuant to the terms of the Arrangement Agreement. As such, and in accordance with the Plan of Arrangement and the Circular, all references to the “corporation” in subsections 190(3) and 190(11) to 190(26), inclusive, of the CBCA (except for the second reference to the “corporation” in subsection 190(12) and the two references to the “corporation” in subsection 190(17)) shall be deemed to refer to “Acquisition Sub” in place of the “corporation”, and Acquisition Sub shall have all of the rights, duties and obligations of the “corporation” under subsections 190(11) to 190(26), inclusive, of the CBCA.

 

22. THIS COURT ORDERS that any Tundra Shareholder who duly exercises such Dissent Rights set out in paragraph 20 above and who:

 

  (i) is ultimately determined by this Honourable Court to be entitled to be paid fair value for his, her or its Shares, shall be deemed to have transferred those Shares at the time specified in Section 3.1(3) of the Plan of Arrangement, without any further act or formality and free and clear of all hypothecs, mortgages, liens, charges, security interests, prior claims, pledges, encroachments, options, rights of first refusal or first offer, covenants, restrictions, encumbrance of any kind or adverse claims, to

 

E - 8


- 9 -

 

 

Tundra for cancellation in consideration of a debt claim against Acquisition Sub to be paid the fair value of such Shares, and (ii) shall be entitled to be paid by Acquisition Sub an amount equal to the fair value of such Shares, and shall not be entitled to any other payment or consideration, including any payment that would be payable under the Arrangement had such holder not exercised their Dissent Rights in respect of such Shares; or

 

  (ii) is for any reason ultimately determined by this Honourable Court not to be entitled to be paid fair value for his, her or its Shares pursuant to the exercise of the Dissent Right, shall be deemed to have participated in the Arrangement on the same basis as a non-Dissenting Shareholder;

but in no case shall Tundra, IDT, Acquisition Sub or any other person be required to recognize such Tundra Shareholders as holders of common shares of Tundra at or after the date upon which the Arrangement becomes effective and the names of such Tundra Shareholders shall be deleted from Tundra’s register of holders of common shares at that time.

Hearing of the Application for Approval of the Arrangement

 

23. THIS COURT ORDERS that upon approval by the Tundra Shareholders of the Plan Arrangement in the manner set forth in this Interim Order, Tundra may apply to this Honourable Court for final approval of the Arrangement.

APPLICATION

1. THE APPLICANT MAKES APPLICATION FOR:

 

  (a) an interim order for advice and directions under section 192(4) of the Canada Business Corporations Act, R.S.C. 1985, c. C-44, as amended (the “CBCA”) with respect to a proposed arrangement (the “Arrangement”) of Tundra Semiconductor Corporation (“Tundra”);

 

  (b) an order under sections 192(3) and 192(4) of the CBCA approving the Arrangement; and

 

  (c) such further and other relief as this Honourable Court may deem just.

2. THE GROUNDS FOR THE APPLICATION ARE:

 

  (a) Tundra is a corporation governed by the CBCA, with its head office in Ottawa, and with its common shares listed and traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange;

 

  (b) the Arrangement is an “arrangement” as defined in section 192(1) of the CBCA;

 

  (c) section 192 of the CBCA;

 

  (d) all statutory procedures under the CBCA have been met or will be met by the date of the return of this Application;

 

  (e) Tundra is not insolvent;

 

  (f) it is not practicable for Tundra to effect the Arrangement under any other provision of the CBCA;

 

  (g) the Arrangement is put forward in good faith;

 

  (h) the Arrangement is fair and reasonable;

 

  (i) the directions set out and shareholder approvals required pursuant to any interim order this Honourable Court may grant have been followed and obtained, or will be followed and obtained, by the date of the return of this Application;

 

F - 4

  (j) certain of the holders of common shares in the capital of Tundra are resident outside of Ontario and will be served at their addresses as they appear on the books and records of Tundra pursuant to rules 17.02(n) and 17.02(o) of the Rules of Civil Procedure and the terms of any interim order for advice and directions granted by this Honourable Court;

 

  (k) rules 14.05(2), 14.05(3) and 38 of the Rules of Civil Procedure;

APPENDIX G

SECTION 190 OF THE CANADA BUSINESS CORPORATIONS ACT

190. (1) Right to dissent — Subject to sections 191 and 241, a holder of shares of any class of a corporation may dissent if the corporation is subject to an order under paragraph 192(4)(d) that affects the holder or if the corporation resolves to

 

  (a) amend its articles under section 173 or 174 to add, change or remove any provisions restricting or constraining the issue, transfer or ownership of shares of that class;

 

  (b) amend its articles under section 173 to add, change or remove any restriction on the business or businesses that the corporation may carry on;

 

  (c) amalgamate otherwise than under section 184;

 

  (d) be continued under section 188;

 

  (e) sell, lease or exchange all or substantially all its property under subsection 189(3); or

 

  (f) carry out a going-private transaction or a squeeze-out transaction.

(2) Further right — A holder of shares of any class or series of shares entitled to vote under section 176 may dissent if the corporation resolves to amend its articles in a manner described in that section.

(2.1) If one class of shares — The right to dissent described in subsection (2) applies even if there is only one class of shares.

(3) Payment for shares — In addition to any other right the shareholder may have, but subject to subsection (26), a shareholder who complies with this section is entitled, when the action approved by the resolution from which the shareholder dissents or an order made under subsection 192(4) becomes effective, to be paid by the corporation the fair value of the shares in respect of which the shareholder dissents, determined as of the close of business on the day before the resolution was adopted or the order was made.

(4) No partial dissent — A dissenting shareholder may only claim under this section with respect to all the shares of a class held on behalf of any one beneficial owner and registered in the name of the dissenting shareholder.

(5) Objection — A dissenting shareholder shall send to the corporation, at or before any meeting of shareholders at which a resolution referred to in subsection (1) or (2) is to be voted on, a written objection to the resolution, unless the corporation did not give notice to the shareholder of the purpose of the meeting and of their right to dissent.

(6) Notice of resolution — The corporation shall, within ten days after the shareholders adopt the resolution, send to each shareholder who has filed the objection referred to in subsection (5) notice that the resolution has been adopted, but such notice is not required to be sent to any shareholder who voted for the resolution or who has withdrawn their objection.

(7) Demand for payment — A dissenting shareholder shall, within twenty days after receiving a notice under subsection (6) or, if the shareholder does not receive such notice, within twenty days after learning that the resolution has been adopted, send to the corporation a written notice containing

 

  (a) the shareholder’s name and address;

 

  (b) the number and class of shares in respect of which the shareholder dissents; and

 

  (c) a demand for payment of the fair value of such shares.

(8) Share certificate — A dissenting shareholder shall, within thirty days after sending a notice under subsection (7), send the certificates representing the shares in respect of which the shareholder dissents to the corporation or its transfer agent.

 

G - 1


(9) Forfeiture — A dissenting shareholder who fails to comply with subsection (8) has no right to make a claim under this section.

(10) Endorsing certificate — A corporation or its transfer agent shall endorse on any share certificate received under subsection (8) a notice that the holder is a dissenting shareholder under this section and shall forthwith return the share certificates to the dissenting shareholder.

(11) Suspension of rights — On sending a notice under subsection (7), a dissenting shareholder ceases to have any rights as a shareholder other than to be paid the fair value of their shares as determined under this section except where

 

  (a) the shareholder withdraws that notice before the corporation makes an offer under subsection (12),

 

  (b) the corporation fails to make an offer in accordance with subsection (12) and the shareholder withdraws the notice, or

 

  (c) the directors revoke a resolution to amend the articles under subsection 173(2) or 174(5), terminate an amalgamation agreement under subsection 183(6) or an application for continuance under subsection 188(6), or abandon a sale, lease or exchange under subsection 189(9),

in which case the shareholder’s rights are reinstated as of the date the notice was sent.

(12) Offer to pay — A corporation shall, not later than seven days after the later of the day on which the action approved by the resolution is effective or the day the corporation received the notice referred to in subsection (7), send to each dissenting shareholder who has sent such notice

 

  (a) a written offer to pay for their shares in an amount considered by the directors of the corporation to be the fair value, accompanied by a statement showing how the fair value was determined; or

 

  (b) if subsection (26) applies, a notification that it is unable lawfully to pay dissenting shareholders for their shares.

(13) Same terms — Every offer made under subsection (12) for shares of the same class or series shall be on the same terms.

(14) Payment — Subject to subsection (26), a corporation shall pay for the shares of a dissenting shareholder within ten days after an offer made under subsection (12) has been accepted, but any such offer lapses if the corporation does not receive an acceptance thereof within thirty days after the offer has been made.

(15) Corporation may apply to court — Where a corporation fails to make an offer under subsection (12), or if a dissenting shareholder fails to accept an offer, the corporation may, within fifty days after the action approved by the resolution is effective or within such further period as a court may allow, apply to a court to fix a fair value for the shares of any dissenting shareholder.

(16) Shareholder application to court — If a corporation fails to apply to a court under subsection (15), a dissenting shareholder may apply to a court for the same purpose within a further period of twenty days or within such further period as a court may allow.

(17) Venue — An application under subsection (15) or (16) shall be made to a court having jurisdiction in the place where the corporation has its registered office or in the province where the dissenting shareholder resides if the corporation carries on business in that province.

(18) No security for costs — A dissenting shareholder is not required to give security for costs in an application made under subsection (15) or (16).

(19) Parties — On an application to a court under subsection (15) or (16),

 

  (a) all dissenting shareholders whose shares have not been purchased by the corporation shall be joined as parties and are bound by the decision of the court; and

 

  (b) the corporation shall notify each affected dissenting shareholder of the date, place and consequences of the application and of their right to appear and be heard in person or by counsel.

 

G - 2


(20) Powers of court — On an application to a court under subsection (15) or (16), the court may determine whether any other person is a dissenting shareholder who should be joined as a party, and the court shall then fix a fair value for the shares of all dissenting shareholders.

(21) Appraisers — A court may in its discretion appoint one or more appraisers to assist the court to fix a fair value for the shares of the dissenting shareholders.

(22) Final order — The final order of a court shall be rendered against the corporation in favour of each dissenting shareholder and for the amount of the shares as fixed by the court.

(23) Interest — A court may in its discretion allow a reasonable rate of interest on the amount payable to each dissenting shareholder from the date the action approved by the resolution is effective until the date of payment.

(24) Notice that subsection (26) applies — If subsection (26) applies, the corporation shall, within ten days after the pronouncement of an order under subsection (22), notify each dissenting shareholder that it is unable lawfully to pay dissenting shareholders for their shares.

(25) Effect where subsection (26) applies — If subsection (26) applies, a dissenting shareholder, by written notice delivered to the corporation within thirty days after receiving a notice under subsection (24), may

 

  (a) withdraw their notice of dissent, in which case the corporation is deemed to consent to the withdrawal and the shareholder is reinstated to their full rights as a shareholder; or

 

  (b) retain a status as a claimant against the corporation, to be paid as soon as the corporation is lawfully able to do so or, in a liquidation, to be ranked subordinate to the rights of creditors of the corporation but in priority to its shareholders.

(26) Limitation — A corporation shall not make a payment to a dissenting shareholder under this section if there are reasonable grounds for believing that

 

  (a) the corporation is or would after the payment be unable to pay its liabilities as they become due; or

 

  (b) the realizable value of the corporation’s assets would thereby be less than the aggregate of its liabilities.
