NON-TRANSFERABLE COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
Certificate No: 202[●]-W-[●] | |
Number of Warrants: [●] | Date: [●], 202[●] |
1. Warrants to Purchase Common Stock. For value received by the undersigned, [NAME], [ADDRESS] (the “Holder”), is the registered holder of [●] common stock purchase warrants (the “Warrants”). Each Warrant will entitle the Holder to subscribe for and purchase one fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock of the Corporation (a “Warrant Share”) in lawful money of Canada at any time up to the Time of Expiry (as such term is defined in Section 13) at a purchase price of $[●] per Warrant Share (the “Exercise Price”) for each Warrant represented hereby, after which time such Warrants shall expire, all subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided in this Warrant certificate. The Warrants may be exercised by surrendering this Warrant certificate, together with a subscription form in the form attached as Schedule “A” hereto duly completed and executed and a wire transfer, certified cheque, bank draft or money order in the lawful money of Canada payable to or to the order of the Corporation, at the Vancouver office of the Corporation, 300 – 1055 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6E 2E9, Attention: Brenda Dayton, Vice President – Investor Relations. The Corporation will then issue that number of Warrant Shares specified in the subscription form as fully paid and non-assessable Warrant Shares. In no event may the Holder exercise these Warrants in whole or in part unless the exercise is exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”).
-2-
2. Partial Exercise. The Holder may subscribe for and purchase less than the full number of Warrant Shares entitled to be subscribed for and purchased hereunder. In the event that the Holder subscribes for and purchases less than the full number of Warrant Shares entitled to be subscribed for and purchased under this Warrant certificate prior to the Time of Expiry, the Corporation shall issue a new Warrant certificate to the Holder in the same form as this Warrant certificate with appropriate changes.
3. Delivery of Warrant Shares. Within five (5) business days of receipt of this Warrant certificate together with a subscription form duly completed and executed in the form attached as Schedule “A” hereto and a wire transfer, certified cheque, bank draft or money order in lawful money of Canada payable to or to the order of the Corporation, the Corporation shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Holder certificates representing the Warrant Shares subscribed for and purchased by the Holder hereunder, and a replacement Warrant certificate, if any.
4. No Rights of Shareholders. Nothing contained in this Warrant certificate (or in the Warrants evidenced hereby) shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder any right or interest whatsoever as a holder of common stock of the Corporation or any other right or interest except as herein expressly provided.
5. Adjustment of Subscription and Purchase Rights. From and after the date hereof, the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares deliverable upon the exercise of the Warrants will be subject to adjustment as set forth below:
(a) | In case of any reclassification of the Warrant Shares or change of the Warrant Shares into other shares, or in case of the consolidation, arrangement, merger, reorganization or amalgamation of the Corporation with or into any other corporation or entity which results in any reclassification of the Warrant Shares or a change of the Warrant Shares into other shares, or in case of any transfer of the undertaking or assets of the Corporation as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to another person (any such event being hereinafter referred to as a “Reclassification of Warrant Shares”), at any time prior to the Time of Expiry, the Holder shall, after the effective date of such Reclassification of Warrant Shares and upon exercise of the right to purchase Warrant Shares hereunder, be entitled to receive, and shall accept, in lieu of the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder was theretofore entitled upon such exercise, the kind and amount of shares and other securities or property which the Holder would have been entitled to receive as a result of such Reclassification of Warrant Shares if, on the effective date thereof, the Holder had been the registered holder of the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder was theretofore entitled upon such exercise. If necessary, appropriate adjustments shall be made in the application of the provisions set forth in this Section 5 with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Holder of this Warrant certificate to the end that the provisions set forth in this Section 5 shall thereafter correspondingly be made applicable as nearly as may be reasonable in relation to any shares or other securities or property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of the Warrants evidenced hereby. | ||
(b) | If and whenever at any time prior to the Time of Expiry the Corporation shall: | ||
(i) | subdivide the Warrant Shares into a greater number of shares; | ||
(ii) | consolidate the Warrant Shares into a lesser number of shares; or | ||
(iii) | fix a record date for the issue of, or distribution to, or issue Warrant Shares, Participating Shares or Convertible Securities (as such terms are defined in Section 13) to all or substantially all of the holders of Warrant Shares by way of a stock dividend or other distribution on the Warrant Shares payable in Warrant Shares, Participating Shares or Convertible Securities, |
-3-
(any such event being hereinafter referred to as “Capital Reorganization”) and any such event results in an adjustment in the Exercise Price pursuant to paragraph (c) below, the number of Warrant Shares purchasable pursuant to the Warrants evidenced hereby shall be adjusted contemporaneously with the adjustment of the Exercise Price by multiplying the number of Warrant Shares theretofore purchasable on the exercise thereof by a fraction the numerator of which shall be the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment and the denominator of which shall be the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment. | |||
(c) | If and whenever at any time prior to the Time of Expiry, the Corporation shall engage in a Capital Reorganization, the Exercise Price shall, on the effective date, in the case of a subdivision or consolidation, or on the record date, in the case of a stock dividend, be adjusted by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect on such effective date or record date by a fraction: (A) the numerator of which shall be the number of Warrant Shares and Participating Shares outstanding before giving effect to such Capital Reorganization; and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Warrant Shares and Participating Shares outstanding after giving effect to such Capital Reorganization. The number of Warrant Shares and Participating Shares outstanding shall include the deemed conversion into or exchange for Warrant Shares or Participating Shares of any Convertible Securities distributed by way of stock dividend or other such distribution. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event referred to in this paragraph shall occur. | ||
(d) | Any issue of Warrant Shares, Participating Shares or Convertible Securities by way of a stock dividend or other such distribution shall be deemed to have been made on the record date thereof for the purpose of calculating the number of outstanding Warrant Shares under paragraphs (e) and (f) below. | ||
(e) | If and whenever at any time prior to the Time of Expiry, the Corporation shall fix a record date for the issuance or distribution of rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all the holders of Warrant Shares entitling them, for a period expiring not more than forty-five (45) days after such record date, to subscribe for or purchase Warrant Shares, Participating Shares or Convertible Securities at a price per share (or having a conversion or exchange price per share) of less than 95% of the Current Market Price (as such term is defined in Section 13) of the Warrant Shares on such record date (any such event being hereinafter referred to as a “Rights Offering”), the Exercise Price shall be adjusted immediately after such record date so that it shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect on such record date by a fraction: | ||
(i) | the numerator of which shall be the aggregate of: (A) the number of Warrant Shares outstanding on such record date; and (B) a number determined by dividing whichever of the following is applicable by the Current Market Price of the Warrant Shares on the record date: (1) the amount obtained by multiplying the number of Warrant Shares or Participating Shares which the Holders of Warrant Shares are entitled to subscribe for or purchase by the subscription or purchase price; or (2) the amount obtained by multiplying the maximum number of Warrant Shares or Participating Shares which the holders of Warrant Shares are entitled to receive on the conversion or exchange of the Convertible Securities by the conversion or exchange price per share; and | ||
(ii) | the denominator of which shall be the aggregate of: (A) the number of Warrant Shares outstanding on such record date; and (B) whichever of the following is applicable: (1) the number of Warrant Shares or Participating Shares which the holders of Warrant Shares are entitled to subscribe for or purchase; or (2) the maximum number of Warrant Shares or Participating Shares which the holders of Warrant Shares are entitled to receive on the conversion or exchange of the Convertible Securities, | ||
and if any such event results in an adjustment in the Exercise Price, the number of Warrant Shares purchasable pursuant to the Warrants evidenced hereby shall be adjusted contemporaneously with the adjustment of the Exercise Price by multiplying the number of Warrant Shares theretofore purchasable on the exercise thereof by a fraction the numerator of which shall be the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment and the denominator of which shall be the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment. |
-4-
Any Warrant Shares owned by or held for the account of the Corporation shall be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such computation. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed. | |||
To the extent that such Rights Offering is not so made or any such rights, options or warrants are not exercised prior to the expiration thereof, the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares purchasable pursuant to the Warrants evidenced hereby shall then be readjusted to the Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares which would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed or if such expired rights, options or warrants had not been issued. | |||
(f) | If and whenever at any time prior to the Time of Expiry, the Corporation shall fix a record date for the issue or distribution to all or substantially all the holders of Warrant Shares of: | ||
(i) | shares of any class, whether of the Corporation or any other corporation; | ||
(ii) | rights, options or warrants; | ||
(iii) | evidences of indebtedness; or | ||
(iv) | other assets or property; | ||
and if such issue or distribution does not constitute a Capital Reorganization or a Rights Offering or does not consist of rights, options or warrants entitling the holders of Warrant Shares to subscribe for or purchase Warrant Shares, Participating Shares or Convertible Securities for a period expiring not more than forty-five (45) days after such record date and at a price per share (or having a conversion or exchange price per share) of at least 95% of the Current Market Price of the Warrant Shares on such record date (any such non-excluded event being hereinafter referred to as a “Special Distribution”) the Exercise Price shall be adjusted immediately after such record date so that it shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect on such record date by a fraction: (I) the numerator of which shall be the amount by which (A) the amount obtained by multiplying the number of Warrant Shares outstanding on such record date by the Current Market Price of the Warrant Shares on such record date, exceeds (B) the fair market value (as determined by the directors of the Corporation, which determination shall be conclusive) to the holders of such Warrant Shares of such Special Distribution; and (II) the denominator of which shall be the total number of Warrant Shares outstanding on such record date multiplied by such Current Market Price, and if any such event results in an adjustment in the Exercise Price, the number of Warrant Shares purchasable pursuant to the Warrants evidenced hereby shall be adjusted contemporaneously with the adjustment of the Exercise Price by multiplying the number of Warrant Shares theretofore purchasable on the exercise thereof by a fraction the numerator of which shall be the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment and the denominator of which shall be the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment. | |||
Any Warrant Shares owned by or held for the account of the Corporation shall be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such computation. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed. | |||
To the extent that such Special Distribution is not so made or any such rights, options or warrants are not exercised prior to the expiration thereof, the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares purchasable pursuant to the Warrants evidenced hereby shall then be readjusted to the Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares which would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed or if such expired rights, options or warrants had not been issued. |
-5-
(g) | No adjustment in the Exercise Price will be made pursuant to this Section 5 in respect of the issue from time to time of Warrant Shares issuable from time to time as dividends paid in the ordinary course to holders of Warrant Shares who exercise an option or election to receive substantially equivalent dividends in Warrant Shares in lieu of receiving a cash dividend, and any such issue will be deemed not to be a Capital Reorganization. | |
(h) | In any case in which this Section 5 shall require that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a record date for an event referred to herein, the Corporation may defer, until the occurrence of such event, issuing to the Holder, upon the exercise of the Warrants evidenced hereby after such record date and before the occurrence of such event, the additional Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise by reason of the adjustment required by such event; provided, however, that the Corporation shall deliver to the Holder an appropriate instrument evidencing the Holder’s right to receive such additional Warrant Shares upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment and the right to receive any distributions made on such additional Warrant Shares on and after such exercise. | |
(i) | The adjustments provided for in this Section 5 are cumulative, shall, in the case of adjustments to the Exercise Price, be computed to the nearest one-tenth of one cent and shall apply (without duplication) to successive Reclassifications of Warrant Shares, Capital Reorganizations, Rights Offerings and Special Distributions; provided that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5, no adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the Exercise Price then in effect (except upon a consolidation of the outstanding Warrant Shares) (provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this paragraph are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment). | |
(j) | No adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares which may be purchased upon exercise of the Warrants evidenced hereby or in the Exercise Price shall be made pursuant to this Warrant certificate if the Holder is entitled to participate in such event on the same terms mutatis mutandis as if the Holder had exercised the Warrants evidenced hereby for Warrant Shares prior to the effective date or record date of such event. | |
(k) | If, at any time prior to the Time of Expiry, the Corporation will take any action affecting the Warrant Shares, other than an action or an event described above in this Section 5, which in the opinion of the directors of the Corporation would have a material adverse effect upon the rights of the Holder under this Warrant certificate, the Exercise Price and/or the number of Warrant Shares purchasable under this Warrant certificate will be adjusted in such manner and at such time as the directors may determine to be equitable in the circumstances. | |
(l) | In the event of any question arising with respect to the adjustments provided in this Section 5, such question shall conclusively be determined by the Corporation’s auditors and such determination, absent manifest error, shall be binding upon the Corporation and the Holder. | |
(m) | As a condition precedent to the taking of any action which would require an adjustment in the subscription rights pursuant to the Warrants, including the Exercise Price and the number of such classes of shares or other securities or property which are to be received upon the exercise thereof, the Corporation shall take all corporate action which may, in the opinion of counsel, be necessary in order that the Corporation has reserved and there will remain unissued out of its authorized capital a sufficient number of Warrant Shares for issuance upon the exercise of the Warrants evidenced hereby, and that the Corporation may validly and legally issue as fully paid and non-assessable of all the shares of such classes or other securities or may validly and legally distribute the property which the Holder is entitled to receive on the full exercise thereof in accordance with the provisions hereof. |
-6-
(n) | At least twenty-one (21) days prior to the effective date or record date, as the case may be, of any event which requires an adjustment in the subscription rights pursuant to this Warrant certificate, including the Exercise Price and the number and classes of shares or other securities or property which are to be received upon the exercise thereof, the Corporation shall give notice to the Holder of the particulars of such event and the required adjustment. If it is not reasonably practicable for the Corporation to give twenty-one (21) days’ notice as aforesaid, the Corporation will give as much notice as is reasonably practicable in the circumstances. | |
(o) | Subject to requisite TSX Venture Exchange approval, the Corporation may, at its option, at any time during the term of the Warrants, reduce the then current Exercise Price to any amount deemed appropriate by the board of directors of the Corporation. |
6. Representations and Warranties of the Corporation.
