Additional information on the rights offering may be found in the company's rights offering circular dated May 18, 2007, which will be available at www.sedar.com. Holders of common shares of MCAN Mortgage Corp. at the close (Toronto time) on Wednesday, May 30, 2007, who are residents in the provinces and territories of Canada, will be granted transferable rights to subscribe for and purchase additional common shares of the company. Each holder of common shares at the close on the record date is entitled to receive one right for each common share held. Eight rights entitle the holder thereof to purchase one common share at a price of $10.50 per share on or before 4 p.m. (Toronto time) on July 5, 2007.
Fractional common shares will not be issued. Where the exercise of rights would appear to entitle a holder of rights to fractional common shares, the holder's entitlement will be reduced to the next lowest whole number of common shares.
The common shares of the company will commence trading on an ex rights basis at the open on Monday, May 28, 2007, at which time the rights will be posted for trading on a when-issued basis. Rights are evidenced by fully transferable certificates, which will be issued in registered form. A rights certificate evidencing the total number of rights to which the holder is entitled, together with a copy of the rights offering circular, will be mailed to each holder of record of common shares as of the record date with an address of record in Canada.
The holder of a rights certificate may subscribe for all or any lesser number of common shares for which the rights certificate entitles the holder to subscribe by completing and executing Form 1 on the rights certificate and delivering the rights certificate, together with payment in full of the exercise price for those common shares subscribed for, to the subscription office. All payments, together with Form 1 duly completed on the rights certificates, must be received by the subscription agent at the subscription office at or before the expiry time on the expiry date.
Shareholders that hold their common shares through a CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. participant will not receive physical certificates evidencing their ownership of rights. On the record date, a global certificate representing such rights will be issued in registered form to, and in the name of, CDS or its nominee. The company expects that each beneficial shareholder will receive a confirmation of the number of rights issued to it from its CDS participant in accordance with the practices and procedures of that CDS participant. CDS will be responsible for establishing and maintaining book-entry accounts for its participants holding rights. Shareholders who hold their common shares through a CDS participant must arrange purchases or transfers of rights through their CDS participant. It is anticipated by the company that each such purchaser of a common share or right will receive a customer confirmation of issuance or purchase, as applicable, from the CDS participant through which such right is issued or such common share is purchased in accordance with the practices and policies of such CDS participant.
A holder of a rights certificate, who has fully exercised the rights evidenced by the rights certificate by subscribing for the maximum number of common shares to which that holder is entitled to subscribe pursuant to the initial subscription privilege, may subscribe for additional common shares, if available, at the subscription price per common share pursuant to the additional subscription privilege. Those additional common shares will be allotted from those of the common shares, if any, not issued pursuant to the initial subscription privilege. The holder will be entitled to that holder's pro rata share of additional common shares.
A rightsholder may subscribe for additional common shares by:
completing the Form 2 on the rights certificate entitled To Subscribe for Common Shares Pursuant to the Additional Subscription Privilege; and
delivering the rights certificate, together with payment for those additional common shares, to the subscription office at or before the expiry time on the expiry date.
In the event that payment for all of the additional common shares subscribed for pursuant to this additional subscription privilege does not accompany the subscription, the oversubscription will be invalid. None of the rights or common shares issuable upon the exercise of the rights are qualified or registered under the securities laws of jurisdictions other than Canada and no securities are being offered by the company for sale in any other jurisdiction. Therefore, rights certificates will only be delivered by the company to holders of common shares as of the record date who are not ineligible persons. Shareholders of record will be presumed to be resident in the place of their address of record, unless the contrary is established to the satisfaction of the company.
The circular discloses that there will be no soliciting dealer used in connection with the offering.
