Overview

Under the proposed privatization of the Corporation pursuant to a CBCA Plan of Arrangement, the public shareholders would receive cash for their common shares, and the specifically-listed “Rollover Shareholders” (holding 38% of the common shares) would receive common shares of the newly-incorporated purchaser, which is an indirect subsidiary of Power Corporation of Canada. The Circular does not mention whether the “Rollover” contemplated is under s. 85 or 85.1.
