Ownership 

 

Reference is hereby made to Items 5 – 9 and 11 of pages 2 – 4 of this Schedule, which Items are incorporated by reference herein.

 

Large Scale holds 4,807,109 common shares of the Issuer, representing approximately 15.2% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Issuer. Great Intelligence holds 1,796,666 common shares of the Issuer, representing approximately 5.68% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Issuer. The securities reported on this Schedule as beneficially owned by ITC are held by Large Scale and Great Intelligence. ITC, which owns all of the voting interest in Large Scale and Great Intelligence, may be deemed pursuant to Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), to beneficially own and to share voting and dispositive power in respect of the 4,807,109 common shares of the Issuer held by Large Scale and the 1,796,666 common shares of the Issuer held by Great Intelligence.  

 

 
Cusip Number 120831 10 2Page 6 of 10

 

The filing of this statement should not be construed as an admission that ITC is, for the purposes of Sections 13(d) or 13(g) of the Exchange Act, the beneficial owner of the shares covered by this statement.  

 

The calculation of percentage beneficial ownership in Item 11 on pages 2 – 4 was derived from the corporate factsheet as made available on the Issuer’s web-site (http://www.burcon.ca/investors/corporate_factsheet.php) as of January 15, 2013 in which the Issuer stated that the number of its issued shares was 31,624,693. The Issuer’s most recent annual report of the filed with the Commission is the Amendment No. 1 to the Annual Report of the Issuer for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, which was filed on July 12, 2012. In such annual report, the Issuer reported that it had 29,993,074 outstanding common shares as of March 31, 2012. However, the Reporting Persons believe that this information is no longer accurate, following the completion of the Issuer’s equity offering in Canada of 1,437,500 common shares on November 23, 2012.
