CONSOLIDATION OF THE COMMON SHARES OF GLOBALIVE
TECHNOLOGY
The Company received shareholder authorization at the Meeting to
proceed to file articles of amendment to consolidate its common
shares on the basis of 1 post-consolidation common share for every
20 pre-consolidation common shares. The proposed date for the
consolidation is June 30, 2020,
subject to amendment by the board of directors. If the date of the
consolidation is changed, the Company will issue a press release
advising of the newly proposed consolidation date.
Registered shareholders will have received letters of
transmittal with their materials for the Meeting, which should now
be completed and returned to the Company's transfer agent,
Computershare Trust Company of Canada ("Computershare"), in accordance with
the instructions set out in the letter in order to receive a
revised share certificate or DRS advice for the consolidated
shares. Registered shareholders who did not receive a letter of
transmittal, or who have questions about the letter and the process
for exchanging their shares, should contact Computershare by phone
at 1-800-564-6253 or by email at
corporateactions@computershare.com.
Non-registered shareholders should contact their broker or agent
for instructions on how to exchange their pre-consolidation shares
for post-consolidation shares.
The Company currently has 139,571,688 common shares issued and
outstanding and if the consolidation were to occur today, there
would be 6,978,584 common shares issued and outstanding
post-consolidation. The number of issued and outstanding common
shares on the consolidation date may vary from these estimates, due
to restricted share units granted by the Company that vested on
June 8, 2020 and common shares that
may be purchased for cancellation under the Company's ongoing
normal course issuer bid program. Any fractional shares generated
by the consolidation will be purchased for cancellation by the
Company at the closing price for common shares of the Company on
the day prior to the consolidation.
The consolidation remains subject to final approval by the TSX
Venture Exchange and the board of directors of the Company reserves
the ability to cancel or postpone the consolidation in its
discretion. The name of the Company and the class of shares will
not be changed as part of the consolidation.
