Item 5
Full Description of Material Change
The Company and Littlejohn & Co., LLC announced that an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Littlejohn Fund III, L.P. will acquire all of the Companys outstanding common shares at a price of US$4.76 per share in cash (the Arrangement) pursuant to a definitive agreement (the Arrangement Agreement) entered into by the Company and such subsidiary. Including net debt outstanding, the total transaction value is approximately US$500 million.
The non-management members of the Board of Directors of the Company, after considering a number of factors, have unanimously approved the Arrangement and agreed to recommend that the Companys shareholders approve the proposed Arrangement.
Pursuant to the Arrangement, holders of the outstanding common shares of the Company would receive US$4.76 cash per share, which represents a 5.5% premium over the volume weighted average trading price on the NYSE over the 30 trading days prior to todays announcement.
The transaction will be implemented by way of a court-approved plan of arrangement
under Canadian law and accordingly, will be subject to the approval of two-thirds of the votes cast by the Companys shareholders at a special meeting of shareholders anticipated to take place in late June 2007. In addition, the Arrangement will require approval by the Superior Court of Quebec in the District of Montreal. The transaction will be subject to certain other customary conditions described in the Arrangement Agreement, including receipt of a limited number of regulatory approvals and no material adverse change in the Companys business. The transaction is not subject to any financing condition. Littlejohn has received a commitment for the required debt financing and Littlejohn Fund III, L.P. intends to fund the equity required to complete the transaction. It is anticipated that the Arrangement, if approved by the Companys shareholders, will be completed early in the third quarter of 2007.
The Arrangement Agreement also provides for, among other things, a non-solicitation covenant on the part of the Company, a right in favour of Littlejohn to match any superior proposal and the payment of a termination fee to Littlejohn in the amount of US$5.9 million under certain circumstances.
