The principal steps of the Transaction were as follows:

(b) each outstanding membership unit of Origination was converted into three membership units of Origination (the "Recapitalization");

(c) the subscription receipts of Finco ("Subscription Receipts") issued pursuant to the private placement of Finco completed on August 18, 2021 (the "Finco Financing") were converted into common shares of Finco;

(d) the Company, Finco and Subco completed a three-cornered amalgamation under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) pursuant to which all Finco shareholders (including former holders of the Subscription Receipts) exchanged their Class A common shares held for subordinate voting shares of the Company ("Subordinate Voting Shares") or their Class B common shares held for multiple voting shares of the Company ("Multiple Voting Shares"), as applicable, in each case on a one-for-one basis, and Finco and Subco amalgamated, with the resulting entity ("Amalco") continuing as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company;

 


(e) Amalco was wound up into the Company and the assets of Amalco (which consist of the funds invested by the holders of the Subscription Receipts, net of expenses) were transferred to the Company by operation of law;

(f) certain U.S. holders of membership units in Origination (other than Blocker) contributed their membership units in Origination to the Company in exchange for Multiple Voting Shares on a one-hundred membership units (post- Recapitalization) for one Multiple Voting Share basis;

(h) each holder of common shares of Blocker ("Blocker Shares") contributed their Blocker Shares to the Company in exchange for Subordinate Voting Shares on a one Blocker Share for three Subordinate Voting Shares basis;

(i) Mr. Craig Perry subscribed for proportionate voting shares of the Company ("Proportionate Voting Shares") carrying voting rights that would, in the aggregate, represent approximately 32% of the voting rights of the Company upon completion of the Transaction on a fully diluted basis for a purchase price equivalent to their fair market value;

(j) the Company used certain proceeds of the Finco Financing and the membership units of Origination received by it to subscribe for Blocker Shares, following which the proceeds of Finco Financing received by Blocker were contributed to Origination in exchange for membership units of Origination; and

(k) membership units of Origination held by Blocker were re-designated as Class A Voting Units of Origination and membership units of Origination held by other remaining members of Origination were re-designated as Class B Non-Voting Units of Origination.

The directors of the Company following the Transaction are Craig Perry, Darren Tangen, Stephen Schaefer, Porter Collins and Agenia Clark.
