The aggregate purchase price is CAD$1.14 billion, subject to adjustments as set forth in the Agreement, including an adjustment for closing working capital less other debt, certain liabilities and transaction expenses.

The acquisition is expected to be funded by utilizing proceeds of approximately $750 million from a new institutional term loan, with both U.S. and Canadian tranches, to be entered into on or before closing, as well as through the Company's existing credit facilities by increasing the principal amount available under the revolving credit facility by $200 million and by accessing additional availability under the existing accounts receivable securitization.

Consummation of the transaction is subject to a number of conditions, including, but not limited to, the receipt of required regulatory approvals. Closing is expected to occur in the fourth quarter of 2012.
