As disclosed in the news release, the Transaction will also involve a three-cornered amalgamation (the “Amalgamation”) pursuant to which a British Columbia company which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of AMV (“MergeCo”) will amalgamate with a British Columbia company affiliated with SaskCo (“FinCo”), and the holders of FinCo’s securities will receive securities of the Resulting Issuer on a one-for-one basis pursuant to the terms of an amalgamation agreement to be entered into between AMV, FinCo and MergeCo.
