2.             The Applicant’s head office is located at 365 Bay Street, Suite 800, Toronto, Ontario M5H 2V1.

 

3.             On May 19, 2017, Intercap Inc. (the “Offeror”) made an offer to purchase all of the Common Shares. The offer initially expired on June 26, 2017 and was extended for the mandatory 10-day extension period until July 7, 2017. All of the Common Shares validly deposited under the offer were taken up and paid for by the Offeror.

The Offeror is deemed to have acquired such Common Shares as of August 19, 2017 (the “Deemed Acquisition”).

                AND UPON the Commission being satisfied that to do so would not be prejudicial to the public interest;

                IT IS HEREBY ORDERED by the Commission, pursuant to subsection 1(6) of the OBCA that the Applicant is deemed to have ceased to be offering its securities to the public.

                DATED at Toronto on this 22nd day of August, 2017.
