Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by the addition of the following information:

Pursuant to the terms of a cash-settled share swap transaction described in Item 6, the purchaser under the sale transaction described in the previous sentence sold to PABTL a total return on 4,600,000 Common Shares in exchange for a monthly payment.

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby further amended by deleting the information (including the tables provided as part of such information) set forth in Schedule 13D (Amendment No. 4) regarding beneficial ownership of the Issuer’s Common Shares by the Filing Persons, and replacing the deleted information with the following information:

7
 

On the date of this Schedule 13D (Amendment No. 5), the Filing Persons are the beneficial owners of, in the aggregate, 4,778,757 Common Shares, representing 10.1% of the Issuer’s outstanding Common Shares. The Filing Persons’ percentage beneficial ownership has been computed as a percentage of 47,081,376 Common Shares outstanding on May 12, 2014, as reported in the Issuer’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis for the three months ended March 31, 2014, as filed with the SEC on May 12, 2014.

  1 Includes 3,701,232 shares owned directly by PABTL and 200,000 shares which PABTL has agreed to purchase.
     


2 Voting and dispositive power over the Common Shares held by Buckingham is exercisable by any of its trustees, acting individually. In practice, such authority is exercised solely by Mr. Friedberg and by Ms. Friedberg.
     


3 Includes 21,700 shares held in a retirement account for the benefit of Ms. Friedberg, 29,125 shares owned directly by Ms. Friedberg, and 250,000 shares owned directly by Buckingham (see note 2).

Excludes 29,125 shares owned directly by Ms. Friedberg, the wife of Mr. Friedberg, with respect to which Mr. Friedberg disclaims beneficial ownership.

All shares reported as beneficially owned by FCMI, PABTL, Nancy Friedberg, Albert D. Friedberg and Buckingham are presently outstanding, Mr. Friedberg, directly and through his control over FCMI shares held by members of his family and trusts for the benefit of members of his family, may be considered the sole beneficial owner of all of the Common Stock beneficially owned by FCMI. By virtue of his control of FCMI, Mr. Friedberg also may be deemed to possess voting and dispositive power over the shares owned directly by its wholly-owned subsidiary, PABTL. As trustees of Buckingham, each of Mr. Friedberg and Ms. Friedberg possesses voting and dispositive power over the Common Shares owned by Buckingham and may be deemed to share beneficial ownership of such Common Shares. Except for such beneficial ownership by Albert D. Friedberg and by Ms. Friedberg, none of the directors or officers of FCMI or PABTL, and none of the trustees of Buckingham, beneficially own any Common Shares.

Except for PABTL’s agreement to purchase 200,000 Common Shares, its sale of 4,600,000 Common Shares and the entry into the cash-settled share swap transaction described above and below, none of the Filing Persons, and none of their respective directors, officers or trustees has effected any transactions in the Issuer’s Common Shares in the 60 days preceding the filing of this Schedule 13D (Amendment No. 5).

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with respect to Securities of the Issuer  

 

PABTL entered into an agreement to sell the 4,600,000 Common Shares reported in this Schedule 13D (Amendment No. 5) pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement dated July 16, 2014 (the “NBC SPA”) between National Bank of Canada (“NBC”), as buyer, and PABTL, as Seller. In addition to the purchase price and other terms of the transaction, the NBC SPA contains certain representations and warranties by the parties customarily included in agreements of this type, including representations and warranties by NBC as to its non-U.S. status made to support PABTL’s offer and sale of the Common Shares to NBC without registration under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”) in an “offshore transaction” pursuant to Regulation S under the 1933 Act. NBC agreed that the Common Shares would include certain restrictions reflecting the limits on disposition of the Common Shares under the 1933 Act.

On July 16, 2014 (the “Trade Date”), PABTL entered into a total return swap transaction evidenced by an ISDA master agreement, credit support annex and transaction confirmation (collectively the “TRS Agreement”) with NBC. PABTL entered into the TRS Agreement and the NBC SPA for purposes of monetizing its position in the Common Shares while at the same time allowing it to retain the economic exposure to the position sold under the NBC SPA. Pursuant to the terms of the TRS Agreement, NBC sold to PABTL the total return on 4,600,000 Common Shares (the “Underlying Shares”) in exchange for a monthly payment calculated on a per diem basis for the number of days in the applicable calculation period by multiplying the notional amount of the transaction applicable for any particular day in the relevant calculation period by the sum of a designated LIBOR based rate with a maturity of one month and a spread of 1.25% divided by 360.

The initial price for the Underlying Shares is equal to $8.56 per share. The final price is the average of the modified volume weighted average price (as calculated pursuant to the TRS Agreement) applicable to each averaging day agreed to by the parties from and including February 15, 2017, weighted by the number of Underlying Shares that were reduced by NBC on the relevant averaging date minus a commission of US$0.02 per Underlying Share sold by NBC on such averaging date. On the applicable cash settlement date, the initial price of the Underlying Shares specified for the transaction shall be deducted from the final price for the Underlying Shares and such amount shall be multiplied by the number of Underlying Shares subject to the transaction. If the final price for the Underlying Shares exceeds the initial price for the Underlying Shares, such that the product of such determination is positive, NBC shall pay the amount so determined to PABTL. If the initial price for the Underlying Shares exceeds the final price for the Underlying Shares, such that the product of such determination is negative, PABTL shall pay the absolute value of the amount so determined to NBC. To the extent that there are any dividends paid by the Issuer on the Common Shares, NBC will pay to PABTL an amount per Underlying Share equivalent to the per Share dividend paid by the Issuer.

NBC and PABTL have the right to terminate the transaction if it becomes illegal for PABTL to continue with the transaction. PABTL has the right to terminate the transaction in whole or in part at any time following the fortieth day following the effective date of the transaction and prior to the valuation date. In the case of early termination of the transaction the date designated for termination will be the valuation date in respect of the number of Underlying Shares subject to such early termination. If PABTL elects to terminate the transaction in circumstances not involving any illegality, PABTL will be required to pay to NBC a make-whole payment equal to the product of the terminated number of Underlying Shares, the initial price per Underlying Share and D/360 where “D” represents the number of calendar days from, but excluding, the optional early termination date, to and including the calendar day that falls on the day that is six months after the effective date of the transaction.

The TRS Agreement provides only for cash settlement. Neither PABTL nor any of its affiliates or associates shall have any voting or dispositive power with respect to any Underlying Shares and PABTL and its affiliates and associates disclaim beneficial ownership of any such securities.

On July 9, 2014, PABTL entered into a Forward Purchase and Sale Agreement with Oberon Capital Corporation for the purchase of 200,000 Common Shares of the Issuer for a total purchase price of CDN $1,714,280. The purchase is scheduled to close on July 22, 2014 and in any event no later than July 29, 2014. PABTL has the right, at its sole option, to terminate this agreement if the closing does not occur by July 29, 2014.

NBC, unless there exists an Event of Default for which NBC is Defaulting Party, in which case the Counterparty, at Counterparty’s sole option, may select another dealer to be Calculation Agent for this Transaction.

3.      Additional Representations, Agreements and Acknowledgments:

The Counterparty acknowledges and agrees that neither NBC nor any of its affiliates is under any obligation to purchase, deliver, or take delivery of any Shares in connection with the performance of the terms of this Transaction. The Counterparty further acknowledges and agrees that it shall have no rights or interests (legal, beneficial or otherwise) in any Shares which NBC may acquire in connection with this Transaction, including, without limitation any rights to acquire, vote or direct the voting of, receive dividends or distributions on, or exercise any conversion or other rights in respect of, such Shares. Other than an agreement entered into on the date hereof pursuant to which NBC has acquired Shares from the Counterparty, the parties acknowledge that there is no agreement, undertaking or understanding between or among them with respect to the voting or acquisition of Shares and no such agreement, undertaking or understanding is created pursuant to the terms of the Agreement or otherwise in connection with the Transaction.

 

The Counterparty represents and warrants to NBC that it is acting as principal in this Transaction and it is not entering into this Transaction as agent, on behalf of or for the benefit of the Issuer or any of its affiliates.

 

The Counterparty represents and warrants to NBC that, on the date that this Transaction is entered into, it is not entering into this Transaction on the basis of, or is aware of, any material, non-public information concerning the Issuer.

 

In addition, the Counterparty represents and warrants to NBC that, on the date that this Transaction is entered into (i) no trading blackout period or other restricted trading period imposed by the Counterparty in respect of the Shares and applicable to “insiders” (as such term is defined in the relevant provincial securities law) of the Counterparty or its affiliates is in effect as of such date; (ii) it and each of its affiliates are in full compliance with all mandatory disclosure obligations to which it may be subject under applicable securities law in respect of the Transaction and is not entering into the Transaction for purposes of avoiding any disclosure or other obligation to which it may be subject under applicable securities law; (iii) neither it nor any of its affiliates are entering into the Transaction with knowledge of a material change pertaining to the business, operations or capital of the Issuer which has not been generally disclosed and which, if such change were to be generally disclosed, would reasonably be expected to have a significant effect on the market price or value of the Shares or the Issuer’s other issued securities; (iv) neither it nor any of its affiliates is entering into the Transaction or undertaking other activities for the purpose or having or contributing to the effect of manipulating the market price or value of the Shares or the Issuer’s other issued securities or to create actual or apparent trading activity in the Shares (or any security convertible into, or exchangeable for, Shares) or creating or contributing to a misleading appearance of trading activity in, or an artificial price for such Shares or other securities.

The Counterparty and NBC each represents, warrants and hereby confirms that it has, on the date that this Transaction is entered into, the right to enter into this Transaction, both under applicable laws and its internal policies, status and guidelines. Each of the Counterparty and NBC also represents that it has complied with all disclosure or filing requirements in respect to this transaction and the underlying Shares as per applicable laws, any relevant securities commission or other regulatory authority, including, but not limited to, the filing of all required insider reports. NBC and its affiliates disclaim all liability arising from the failure of the Counterparty to comply with any of the foregoing obligations in regard to this Transaction. In the event that it becomes illegal or prohibited during the life of this Transaction, due to applicable laws, internal policies or guidelines, or due to blackout periods or any other reason, for the Counterparty or NBC to continue its obligations in connection with this Transaction, the Counterparty or NBC, as applicable shall have the obligation to promptly inform the other of any such situation.

 

4.      Optional Early Termination in the event of illegality:

 

In the event it becomes illegal for the Counterparty to continue to proceed with this Transaction, each of NBC and Counterparty shall have the right to early terminate the Transaction. Either party may elect to terminate the Transaction in accordance with the foregoing sentence in whole on any Scheduled Trading Day prior to the scheduled first Final Averaging Date by giving the other party prior notice, orally or in writing (a “Termination Notice”), specifying the proposed early termination date. Unless the parties otherwise agree at such time, the first Final Averaging Date shall be the first Exchange Business Day after the date of the Termination Notice (the “Optional Early Termination Date”). The following Exchange Business Days shall be deemed to be the other Final Averaging Dates, provided that the total number of Final Averaging Dates (i) will be determined by NBC and (ii) shall not exceed 185 Exchange Business Days.

 

Unless the parties otherwise agree at the time of any early termination, the last Final Averaging Date shall be the Valuation Date for purposes of the Transaction being terminated, with the corresponding Cash Settlement Payment Date and Period End Date being the date that is three (3) Currency Business Days following such Valuation Date.

 

5.      Optional Early Termination with respect to the Counterparty:

 

Subject to the limitations set forth in this provision the Counterparty shall have the right, but not the obligation, to elect to terminate the Transaction, in whole or in part, subsequent to the fortieth day following the Effective Date and prior to the originally scheduled Valuation Date, on each Scheduled Trading Day, provided that no Event of Default or Potential Event of Default then exists with respect to that party.

 

In order to effect this option, the Counterparty must deliver written notice to NBC, specifying the number of Shares in respect of which it wishes to terminate the Transaction (the “Terminated Number of Shares”) and designating a Scheduled Trading Day (the “Optional Early Termination Date”). Such written request shall be delivered no later than two (2) Exchange Business Days immediately preceding the requested Optional Early Termination Date. Receipt of such notice must be acknowledged by NBC for it to be effective. Unless the parties otherwise agree at such time, the first Final Averaging Date in respect of the Terminated Number of Shares shall be the Optional Early Termination Date. The following Exchange Business Days shall be deemed to be the other Final Averaging Dates, provided that the total number of Final Averaging Dates (i) will be determined by NBC and (ii) shall not exceed 185 Exchange Business Days.

If a Termination Notice is given in respect of which the Terminated Number of Shares is less than the Number of Shares, the Transaction shall continue in effect, but only in relation to a Number of Shares equal to (i) the Number of Shares immediately prior to the Optional Early Termination Date less (ii) the Terminated Number of Shares.

 

If a Termination Notice is given, subject to the paragraph above:

  a. The Equity Amount and the Floating Amount I and II shall be determined as provided in accordance with the terms set forth herein but on the basis that, if the Terminated Number of Shares is less than the Number of Shares, references to the “Number of Shares” are deemed to be references to the Terminated Number of Shares. Further, unless the parties otherwise agree at such time, the last Final Averaging Date shall be the Valuation Date for purposes of the portion of the Transaction being terminated, with the corresponding Cash Settlement Payment Date and Period End Date being the date that is three (3) Currency Business Days following such Valuation Date.
     
  b. If the Optional Early Termination Date is on or prior to the day that falls on six months after the Effective Date, the Counterparty shall pay to NBC an amount, on the Optional Termination Date, equal to:

Terminated Number of Shares x Initial Price x Spread x D/360

Where D represents the number of calendar days from, but excluding, the Optional Early Termination Date up to, and including, the calendar day that falls on six months after the Effective Date.

 

6.      Credit Provisions:

 

The Independent Amount pursuant to Paragraph 13 (b)(iv)(A) of the Credit Support Annex to the Agreement, with respect to Counterparty, shall be equal to the Equity Notional Amount.

The parties hereto have requested that this Agreement and the Schedule be drafted in the English language and that all present and future Confirmations be drafted in the English language.  Les parties aux présentes ont requis que cette convention et l’Annexe ainsi que toutes les présentes et futures confirmations soient rédigées en langue anglaise.

(f) Successors. This Agreement and all obligations of the parties hereunder shall be binding upon than respective successors and assigns and shall, together with the rights and remedies, inure to their benefit.

(i) Section 6 of this Agreement is amended by the addition of the following new section 6(f):  
   
  (f) Set-Off Any Early Termination Amount payable to one party (the Payee) by the other party (the Payer), in circumstances where there is a Defaulting Party or where there is one Affected Party in the case where either a Credit Event Upon Merger has occurred or any other Termination Event in respect of which all outstanding Transactions are Affected Transactions has occurred, will, at the option of the Non-defaulting Party or the Non-affected Party, as the case may be, (“X”) (and without prior notice to the Defaulting Party or the Affected Party, as the case may be), be reduced by its set-off against any other amounts (“Other Amounts”) payable by the Payee to the Payer (whether or not arising under this Agreement, matured or contingent and irrespective of the currency, place of payment or booking office of the obligation).  To the extent that any Other Amounts are so set off, those Other Amounts will be discharged promptly and in all respects.  X will give notice to the other party of any set-off effected under this Section 6(f).
24
 
     
  For this purpose, either the Early Termination Amount or the Other Amounts (or the relevant portion of such amounts) may be converted by X into the currency in which the other is denominated at the rate of exchange at which such party would be able, acting in a reasonable manner and in good faith, to purchase the relevant amount of such currency.
   
  If an obligation is unascertained, X may in good faith estimate that obligation and set off in respect of the estimate, subject to the relevant party accounting to the other when the obligation is ascertained.
   
  Nothing in this Section 6(f) will be effective to create a charge or other security interest.  This Section 6(f) will be without prejudice and in addition to any right of set-off, offset, combination of accounts, lien, right of retention or withholding or similar right or requirement to which any party is at any time otherwise entitled or subject (whether by operation of law, contract or otherwise).

  (3) Status of Parties.  The other party is not acting as a fiduciary for or an adviser to it in respect of that Transaction.
