PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED TO BE
DELIVERED TO OFFEREES OR PURCHASERS
Indemnification
Under the BCBCA, current or former directors or officers of a company or an associated corporation, or any of their heirs and personal or other legal representatives, are eligible to be indemnified by the company (eligible party).
A company may indemnify an eligible party against a judgment, penalty or fine awarded or imposed in, or an amount paid in settlement of certain proceedings incurred in connection with eligible proceedings and certain associated reasonable expenses. In certain circumstances, a company may advance expenses.
A company must not indemnify an eligible party in certain circumstances, including where the eligible party did not act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the company or the associated corporation, or where, in proceedings other than civil proceedings, the eligible party did not have reasonable grounds for believing that the eligible partys conduct was lawful. In addition, a company must not indemnify an eligible party in proceedings brought against the eligible party by or on behalf of the company or an associated corporation.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling Glamis pursuant to the foregoing provisions, Glamis has been informed that in the opinion of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
