Full Description of Material Change

On February 15, 2019 the Company entered into a syndicated credit facility with the Lenders. Under the terms of the credit facility, the Lenders will provide the Company up to C$65 million of secured debt financing at a rate of interest that is expected to average in the mid-to-high 5% per annum range over its three-year term.

The credit facility consists of a C$50 million term loan and a C$15 million revolving loan, with an uncommitted option to increase the facility by up to C$135 million, subject to the satisfaction of certain customary legal and business conditions. Both loans mature in 2022. The Company may, at its discretion, repay the balance of the loans without penalty, at any time.

The proceeds of the term loan will be used to partially fund the expansion of the Company’s Gatineau, Québec facility and leasehold improvements to its newly leased facility in Belleville, Ontario. The proceeds of the revolving loan will be used for general corporate purposes and working capital.

The interest rate for the loans is a set margin over the Canadian dollar prime rate or a bankers’ acceptance of appropriate term.

 


The credit facility is secured by the Company and its subsidiaries, including against the Company’s facilities in Gatineau, Québec and Belleville, Ontario, and contains customary financial and restrictive covenants.

Additional details on the credit facility can be found in the Company’s documents, which are available under the Company’s profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
