The purpose of this notice is to
advise holders of common shares (the "
Common Shares
") of Imperial Metals Corporation (the "
Company
")
of an offering of rights (the "
Rights
") of the Company (the "
Rights Offering
").
References in this notice to we,
our, us and similar terms mean to the Company. References in this notice to you, your and similar terms mean to the Company's shareholders.
|
1.
|
Who can participate in the Rights Offering?
|
Rights will be issued to holders
of Common Shares as at the close of business (5:00 p.m. Pacific Time) on November 23, 2017 (the "
Record Date
").
|
2.
|
Who is eligible to receive Rights?
|
Rights will
be issued to registered shareholders (the "
Eligible Holders
") in:
|
(a)
|
each province and territory of Canada; and
|
|
(b)
|
the United States, excluding the states of Arizona, Arkansas, California, Minnesota, Ohio and Wisconsin;
|
(collectively, the "
Eligible
Jurisdictions
").
You will be
presumed to be resident in the place shown in our records as your registered address, unless the contrary is shown to our satisfaction.
This notice is not to be construed
as an offering of the Rights, nor are the Common Shares issuable upon exercise of the Rights offered for sale, in any jurisdiction
outside the Eligible Jurisdictions or to shareholders who are residents of any jurisdiction other than the Eligible Jurisdictions
(the "
Ineligible Holders
").
Ineligible
Holders will not receive a Rights Certificate (as described in No. 6 below), but will be sent a letter advising them that their
Rights will be held by Computershare Investor Services Inc., who will hold such rights as agent for the benefit of all such Ineligible
Holders. The letter will also describe how certain Ineligible Holders may participate in the Rights Offering.
|
3.
|
How many Rights are we offering?
|
We expect to issue 95,404,892 Rights entitling
their holders to subscribe for an aggregate of 19,080,978 Common Shares.
|
4.
|
How many Rights will you receive?
|
Each Eligible Holder will receive one Right
for each one Common Share of the Company held as at the Record Date.
|
5.
|
What does one Right entitle you to receive?
|
One Right entitles an Eligible Holder to subscribe
for 0.2 Common Shares at a subscription price of $2.25 per Common Share (the "
Basic Subscription Privilege
") until
2:00 p.m. (Pacific Time) on December 22, 2017 (the "
Expiry Time
"). No fractional Common Shares will
be issued. Where the exercise of Rights would appear to entitle a holder of Rights to receive fractional Common Shares, the holder's
entitlement will be reduced to the next lowest whole number of Common Shares.
Any Eligible Holder who exercises all of their
Rights under the Basic Subscription Privilege will also have the additional privilege of subscribing, pro rata, for additional
Common Shares at the subscription price (the "
Additional Subscription Privilege
"). The Common Shares available
under the Additional Subscription Privilege will be those Common Shares issuable under the Rights Offering that have not been subscribed
and paid for under the Basic Subscription Privilege by the Expiry Time.
Any Eligible Holder who exercises their Rights
must enclose payment in Canadian funds by certified cheque, bank draft or money order payable to the order of Computershare Investor
Services Inc.
|
6.

How will you receive your Rights?
|
Registered Eligible Holders
-
If you are a registered Eligible Holder of Common Shares, a certificate (the "
Rights Certificate
") representing
the total number of Rights which you are entitled to as at the Record Date is enclosed with this notice.
Beneficial Eligible Holders
-
You are a beneficial holder of Common Shares if you hold your shares through a securities broker or dealer, bank or trust company
or other participant (a "
Participant
") in the book-based system administered by CDS Clearing and Depository Services
Inc. ("
CDS
") or The Depository Trust Company ("
DTC
"). The total number of Rights to which all
beneficial holders as at the Record Date are entitled will be issued to and deposited with CDS or DTC following the Record Date.
If you are a beneficial Eligible Holder, we expect you will receive a confirmation of the number of Rights issued to you from the
applicable Participant in accordance with the practices and procedures of that Participant. CDS or DTC will be responsible for
establishing and maintaining book-entry accounts for Participants holding Rights.
|
7.
|
When and how can you exercise your Rights?
|
If you are a registered Eligible Holder who
receives a Rights Certificate, you must complete and deliver your Rights Certificate on or before the Expiry Time.
If you are a beneficial Eligible Holder, you
must arrange exercises, transfers or purchases of Rights through your Participant on or before 2:00 p.m. (Vancouver, British Columbia
time) on the Expiry Time or such earlier time as required by your Participant. We expect that each beneficial Eligible Holder will
receive a customer confirmation of issuance or purchase, as applicable, from their Participant through which the Rights are issued

IMPERIAL METALS CORPORATION
OFFERING OF RIGHTS TO SUBSCRIBE FOR 19,080,978
COMMON SHARES AT A PRICE OF $2.25 PER SHARE
References in this circular to
we, our,
us
and similar terms mean to Imperial Metals Corporation (the "
Company
"). References in this circular to
you,
your
and similar terms mean to holders of the Company's common shares (the "
Common Shares
"). Unless otherwise
indicated, references herein to "
$
" or "
dollars
" are to Canadian dollars.
This rights offering is made
by a Canadian issuer that is permitted, under a multijurisdictional disclosure system adopted by the United States and Canada,
to prepare this rights offering circular in accordance with the disclosure requirements of Canada. Prospective investors should
be aware that those requirements are different from those of the United States.
Prospective investors should
be aware that the acquisition of the securities described herein may have tax consequences both in the United States and in Canada.
Such consequences for investors who are resident in, or citizens of, the United States may not be described fully herein.
The enforcement by investors
of civil liabilities under U.S. federal securities laws may be affected adversely by the fact that the issuer is organized under
the laws of British Columbia, Canada, that a majority of its directors and officers named in this Circular are residents of Canada,
and that a substantial portion of the assets of the issuer and of said persons are located outside the United States.
THE SECURITIES OFFERED BY THIS
PROSPECTUS HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION (“SEC”) OR
ANY STATE SECURITIES REGULATOR NOR HAS THE SEC OR ANY STATE SECURITIES REGULATOR PASSED UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS CIRCULAR.
ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENCE.
SUMMARY OF THE RIGHTS OFFERING
Why are you reading this circular?
|
|
We are issuing transferable rights (the "
Rights
") to the holders of our outstanding Common Shares of record at the close of business on November 23, 2017 (the "
Record Date
"). The Rights entitle their holders to subscribe for Common Shares on the terms described in this circular. The purpose of this circular is to provide you with detailed information about your rights and obligations in respect of the offering of Rights (the "
Offering
"). This circular should be read in conjunction with the offering notice which you should have already received by mail.
|
|
|
|
What is being offered?
|
|
The Company will issue one Right for each one Common Share held.
|
|
|
|
Who is eligible to receive
and exercise rights?
|
|
The Rights will be issued only to shareholders
(the "
Eligible Holders
") resident in a province or territory of Canada and, the United States (subject to restrictions
in certain states as set forth in the following paragraph) (collectively, the "
Eligible Jurisdictions
"). All jurisdictions
other than the Eligible Jurisdictions are referred to in this circular as "
Ineligible Jurisdictions
".
This circular covers the offer and sale of
the Common Shares issuable upon exercise of the Rights within the United States under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "
U.S. Securities Act
"). Notwithstanding registration under the U.S. Securities Act, the securities or blue
sky laws of certain states (including Arizona, Arkansas, California, Minnesota, Ohio, and Wisconsin) may not permit the Company
to offer Rights and/or Common Shares in such states, or to certain persons in those states, or may otherwise limit the Company's
ability to do so, and as a result the Company will treat those states as Ineligible Jurisdictions under the Offering.
Shareholders will be presumed to be resident
in the place shown on their registered address, unless the contrary is shown to our satisfaction. Neither the offering notice nor
this circular is to be construed as an offering of the Rights, nor are the Common Shares issuable upon exercise of the Rights offered
for sale in any jurisdiction outside of Eligible Jurisdictions or to shareholders who are residents of any jurisdiction other than
the Eligible Jurisdictions (the "
Ineligible Holders
"). Instead, Ineligible Holders will be sent a letter advising
them that their Rights will be held by Computershare Investor Services Inc. (the "
Depository
"), located at 100
University Avenue, 8th Floor, Toronto, Ontario, M5J 2Y1 (the "
Subscription Office
"), who will hold such rights
as agent for the benefit of all such Ineligible Holders. The letter will also describe the conditions that must be met, and the
procedure that must be followed, in order for an Ineligible Holder to particulate in the Offering.
|
What does one right entitle you to receive?
|
|
You are entitled to subscribe for 0.2 Common
Shares for every one Right held upon payment of the Subscription Price for each one Common Share (called the "
Basic Subscription
Privilege
"). No fractional Common Shares will be issued. Where the exercise of Rights would appear to entitle a holder
of Rights to receive fractional Common Shares, the holder's entitlement will be reduced to the next lowest whole number of Common
Shares.
If you exercise your Basic Subscription Privilege
in full, you will also be entitled to subscribe pro rata for Common Shares (the "
Additional Common Shares
") not
otherwise purchased, if any, pursuant to the Basic Subscription Privilege (called the "
Additional Subscription Privilege
").
|
|
|
|
What is the Subscription Price?
|
|
$2.25 per Common Share (the "
Subscription Price
").
|
|
|
|
When does the offer expire?
|
|
2:00 p.m. (Pacific Time) on December 22, 2017 (the "
Expiry Time
").
|
|
|
|
What are the significant attributes of the rights issued under the rights offering and the securities to be issued upon the exercise of the rights?
|
|
The Rights are transferable securities within
Canada that entitle their holders to subscribe for Common Shares on the terms described in this circular.
The Rights may not be transferred to any person
within the United States. Holders of Common Shares in the United States who receive Rights may transfer or resell them only in
transactions outside of the United States in accordance with Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act, which generally will
permit the resale of the Rights through the facilities of the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "
TSX
") provided that
the offer is not made to a person in the United States, neither the seller nor any person acting on its behalf knows that the transaction
has been prearranged with a buyer in the United States, and no “directed selling efforts”, as that term is defined
in Regulation S under the US Securities Act, are conducted in the United States in connection with the resale. Certain additional
conditions are applicable to the Corporation’s “affiliates”, as that term is defined under the U.S. Securities
Act. In order to enforce this resale restriction, holders thereof will be required to execute a declaration certifying that such
sale is being made outside the United States in accordance with Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act.
We are authorized to issue an unlimited number
of Common Shares, of which 95,404,892 are issued and outstanding as at the date hereof. Holders of Common Shares are entitled to
dividends if, as and when declared by our directors, to one vote per share at meetings of our shareholders and, upon liquidation,
to receive such assets of the Company as are distributable to the holders of the Common Shares.
|
|
|
|
What are the minimum and maximum number or amount of Common Shares that may be issued under the rights offering?
|
|
The Offering is not subject to a minimum subscription. The maximum number of Common Shares that may be issued pursuant to the Offering is 19,080,978 (the "
Maximum Offering
"). The Company has received commitments from existing shareholders to subscribe for an aggregate of approximately 8,174,948 Common Shares, representing such shareholders’ Basic Subscription Privileges (the "
Committed Offering
"). The Company has also received a stand-by guarantee to purchase any Common Shares issuable under the Offering which remain unsubscribed for by the holders of Rights.
|
Where will the rights and the securities issuable upon the exercise of the rights be listed for trading?
|
|
The Common Shares are listed on the Toronto
Stock Exchange ("
TSX
") under the trading symbol "III".
The Rights will trade on the TSX under the
trading symbol "III.RT" until 9:00 a.m. (Pacific Time) on December 22, 2017.

information" within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation and "forward-looking statements" within

In certain cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as "plans", "expects",
"is expected", "budget", "scheduled", "estimates", "forecasts", "intends",
"anticipates", or "believes" , or variations or the negative of such words and phrases, or statements that
certain actions, events or results "may" , " could", "would", "might" or "will be

stand-by guarantee; the estimated costs of the Offering; the net proceeds to be available upon completion of the Offering; our
working capital requirements over the next twelve months; and the use of proceeds from the Offering.
Forward-looking statements in this circular
are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that may cause the Company's actual results to differ materially from those
discussed in the forward-looking statements and, even if such actual results are realized or substantially realized, there can
be no assurance that they will have the expected consequences to, or effects on, the Company. Risk factors that could cause actual
results or events to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements include, among other things: risks
related to the Committed Offering and the stand-by guarantee; uncertainties relating to the cost of completing the Offering; delays
in obtaining or failure to obtain required approvals to complete the Offering; and risks that could cause the Company to allocate
the proceeds of the Offering in a manner other than as disclosed in this circular, including all of the risks related to the Company's

Please refer to our most recently filed Annual
Information Form and management's discussion and analysis for the year ended December 31, 2016 and the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2017 in respect of material assumptions and risks related to our business financial condition, results of operations
and cash flows.
The material factors and assumptions used to
develop the forward-looking statements in this circular include: the assumption that the Committed Offering will be completed and
that the stand-by guarantors will fulfill their commitments under the stand-by agreement and will not terminate the stand-by agreement;
management’s expectations regarding the cost of completing the Offering; that no unforeseen events will affect the Company’s
existing working capital; that the Company’s working capital requirements over the next twelve months will be substantially
as projected; and that current plans and expected metal prices and exchange rates will proceed in accordance with or remain within
range of management's expectations.
Any forward-looking statements in this circular
are stated as of the date of this document and the Company does not intend, and does not assume any obligation, to update such
forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated
events unless required to do so by applicable laws.
USE OF AVAILABLE FUNDS
What will our available funds be upon
the closing of the rights offering?
Upon completion of the Maximum Offering, the
Company will receive gross proceeds of approximately $42.9 million and net proceeds of approximately $42.4 million, after deducting

below.

may be adjusted within the stated categories of expenditures above depending on, among other things, timing of availability of
equipment and services, and general political and market conditions. Further, while the Corporation intends to spend the available
funds as set forth above, there may be circumstances where, for sound business reasons, a reallocation of the available funds may
be necessary. In any event, the available funds will be used by the Corporation in furtherance of its business. See

DILUTION
If you do not exercise your rights, by
how much will your security holdings be diluted?
Assuming issuance of the maximum number of
Common Shares under the Offering, your shareholdings will be diluted by approximately 16.7%.
STAND-BY COMMITMENT
The Company has entered into a Stand-By Guarantee
Agreement (the "
Stand-By Agreement
") with Edwards and East Lane LLC ("
East Lane
" and together
with Edwards, the "
Guarantors
"). Edwards, directly and indirectly through Edco, is the largest shareholder of
the Company. The investments of East Lane are managed by Fairholme, and the Common Shares held by East Lane are under the direction
or control of Fairholme.
Edwards has agreed to exercise the Basic Subscription
Privilege on all of the Rights he receives in the Offering, and cause Edco and all of his other affiliates to do so.
Subject to and in accordance with the terms
of the Stand-By Agreement, the Company may require the Guarantors to purchase the Rights Shares issuable under the Offering, which
remain unsubscribed for by the holders of the Rights, in the following proportions: Edwards – 70%; East Lane – 30%
(collectively, the “
Stand-by Guarantee
”).
Pursuant to the terms of the Stand-By Agreement,
each Guarantor is entitled by giving written notice to the Company at any time prior to the Expiry Time, to terminate and cancel,
without any liability on his part, the Guarantor’s obligations under the Stand-By Agreement, if:
|
a)
|
there is any material adverse change in the business, financial or operating condition or prospects
of the Company between the date of the Stand-By Agreement and closing of the Offering;
|
|
b)
|
any representation or warranty of the Company made in the Stand-By Agreement is determined not
to have been true and correct when made or ceases to be true and correct, or if any covenant of the Company made in the Stand-By
Agreement is not complied with;
|
|
c)
|
any inquiry, investigation (whether formal or informal) or other proceeding is commenced by a Governmental
Entity (as such term is defined in the Stand-By Agreement) pursuant to applicable laws in relation to the Company or any of its
subsidiaries or in relation to any of the Company's directors and officers, any of which suspends or ceases trading in any of the
Common Shares or operates to prevent or restrict the lawful distribution of the Rights or the Common Shares;
|
|
d)
|
if any order is issued by a Governmental Entity, or if there is any change of law, either of which
suspends or ceases trading in any of the Rights or the Common Shares or operates to prevent or restrict the lawful distribution
of any of the Rights or the Common Shares;
|
|
e)
|
the Company fails to obtain any necessary approvals concerning the Rights or the Common Shares
from the TSX or applicable securities commissions;
|
|
f)
|
the Common Shares or the Rights are de-listed or suspended or halted for trading for a period greater
than five business days for any reason by the TSX at any time prior to the closing of the Offering; or
|
|
g)
|
if the Offering is terminated or cancelled.
|
In exchange for guaranteeing the Offering,
the Company expects to pay the Guarantors a cash fee equal to 3% of the gross proceeds of the portion of the Offering they are
each guaranteeing, which excludes proceeds from the exercise of Rights issued in respect of Common Shares owned by the Guarantors,
the Committed Insiders, or their respective affiliates, and also excludes Common Shares under the direction or control of Fairholme
(the “
Stand-By Fee
”).
The Company has confirmed that the Guarantors
have the financial ability to carry out the Stand-By Guarantee.
The securityholdings of the Guarantors before
and after the Offering are as follows:

MANAGING DEALER, SOLICITING DEALER AND
UNDERWRITING CONFLICTS
Who is the managing dealer/soliciting
dealer and what are its fees?
The Company has not retained any party to solicit
subscriptions for Common Shares pursuant to the Offering.
HOW TO EXERCISE THE RIGHTS
How does a security holder that is a registered
holder participate in the rights offering?
If you are a registered holder of Common Shares
(a "
Registered Holder
") in an Eligible Jurisdiction, a certificate (the "
Rights Certificate
")
representing the total number of Rights to which you are entitled as at the Record Date has been mailed to you with a copy of the
Offering notice. To exercise the Rights represented by the Rights Certificate, you must complete and deliver the Rights Certificate,
together with the Subscription Price for each Right exercised, in accordance with the instructions set out below. Rights not exercised
at or prior to the Expiry Time will be void and of no value. The method of delivery is at the discretion and risk of the holder
of the Rights Certificate and delivery to the Depository will only be effective when actually received by the Depository at its
Subscription Office set forth below under "
Appointment of Depository
". Rights Certificates and payments received
after the Expiry Time will not be accepted.
In order to exercise your rights you must:
|
1.
|
Complete and sign Form 1 on the Rights Certificate
. The maximum number of Rights that you
may exercise under the Basic Subscription Privilege is shown in the box on the upper right hand corner of the face of the Rights
Certificate. If you complete Form 1 so as to exercise some but not all of the Rights evidenced by the Rights Certificate, you will
be deemed to have surrendered the unexercised balance of such Rights, unless you otherwise specifically advise the Depository at
the time the Rights Certificate is surrendered to the Depository.
|
|
2.
|
Additional Subscription Privilege
. Complete and sign Form 2 on the Rights Certificate only
if you wish to also participate in the Additional Subscription Privilege. See "
How to exercise the rights - What is the
Additional Subscription Privilege and how can you exercise this privilege?"
below.
|
|
3.
|
Payment
. Enclose payment in Canadian funds by certified cheque, bank draft or money order
payable to the order of Computershare Investor Services Inc. To exercise the Rights, you must pay the Subscription Price per Common
share. In addition to the amount payable for any Common Shares you wish to purchase under the Basic Subscription Privilege, you
must also pay the amount required for all of the Common Shares you subscribe for under the Additional Subscription Privilege.
|
|
4.
|
Delivery
. You must deliver or mail the completed Rights Certificate and payment in the enclosed
return envelope addressed to the Depository so that it is received by the Subscription Office of the Depository set forth below
before the Expiry Time. If you are mailing your documents, registered mail is recommended. Please allow sufficient time to avoid
late delivery.
|
The signature of the Registered Holder on Form
1 and, if applicable, Form 2 of the Rights Certificate must correspond to every particular with the name that appears on the face
of the Rights Certificate.
Signatures by a trustee, executor, administrator,
guardian, attorney, officer of a corporation or any other person acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity should be accompanied
by evidence of authority satisfactory to the Depository.
All questions as to the validity, form, eligibility
(including time of receipt) and acceptance of any exercise will be determined by the Company in its sole discretion, and any determination
by the Company will be final and binding on the Company and its security holders. Any subscription for Common Shares will be irrevocable
once submitted and subscribers will be unable to withdraw their subscriptions for Common Shares once submitted. The Company reserves
the right to reject any subscription if it is not in proper form or if the acceptance thereof or the issuance of Common Shares
pursuant thereto could be unlawful. The Company also reserves the right to waive any defect in respect of any particular subscription.
Neither the Company nor the Depository is under any duty to give any notice of any defect or irregularity in any exercise, nor
will they be liable for the failure to give any such notice.
How does a security holder that is not
a registered holder participate in the rights offering?
You are a beneficial Eligible Holder if you
hold your Common Shares through a securities broker or dealer, bank or trust company or other participant (each, a "
Participant
")
in the book-based system administered by CDS Clearing and Depository Services lnc. ("
CDS
") or The Depository Trust
Company ("
DTC
"). The total number of Rights to which all beneficial Eligible Holders as at the Record Date are
entitled will be issued to CDS or DTC and will be deposited with CDS or DTC following the Record Date. We expect that each beneficial
Eligible Holder will receive a confirmation of the number of Rights issued to it from its Participant in accordance with the practices
and procedures of that Participant. CDS or DTC will be responsible for establishing and maintaining book-entry accounts for Participants
holding Rights.
Neither we nor the Depository will have any
liability for (i) the records maintained by CDS or DTC or Participants relating to the rights or the book-entry accounts maintained
by them, (ii) maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such rights, or (iii) any advice or representations
made or given by CDS or DTC or Participants with respect to the rules and regulations of CDS or DTC or any action to be taken by
CDS or DTC or Participants.
If you are a beneficial Eligible Holder:
|
1.
|
to exercise your rights held through a Participant, you must instruct such Participant to exercise
all or a specified number of such Rights, and forward to such Participant, the Subscription Price for each Common Share that you
wish to subscribe for;
|
|
2.
|
you may subscribe for Additional Common Shares pursuant to the Additional Subscription Privilege
by instructing such Participant to exercise the Additional Subscription Privilege in respect of the number of Additional Common
Shares you wish to subscribe for, and forwarding to such Participant the Subscription Price for such Additional Common Shares requested.
|
Any excess funds will be returned to the relevant
Participant for the account of the beneficial holder, without interest or deduction.
Who is eligible to receive the rights?
Registered holders of Rights
The Rights are being offered to shareholders
of the Company resident in Eligible Jurisdictions. Shareholders will be presumed to be resident in the place of their registered
address, unless the contrary is shown to the satisfaction of the Company. This circular is not to be construed as an offering of
the Rights, nor are the Common Shares issuable upon exercise of the Rights offered for sale, in any jurisdiction outside the Eligible
Jurisdictions or to shareholders who are residents of any jurisdiction other than the Eligible Jurisdictions.
Ineligible Holders who are registered holders
of their Common Shares will be sent a letter advising them that their Rights Certificates will be issued to, and held on their
behalf by, the Depository and a form of representation letter (the "
Representation Letter
"). The Representation
Letter will set out the conditions required to be met, and procedures that must be followed, in order for an Ineligible Holder
to participate in the Offering.
Rights Certificates in respect of Rights issued
to registered Ineligible Holders will be issued to and held by the Depository as agent for the benefit of Ineligible Holders. The
Depository will hold the Rights until 5:00 p.m. (Pacific Time) on December 14, 2017 (the "
Qualification Deadline
")
in order to provide Ineligible Holders an opportunity to claim a Rights Certificate by satisfying us that the issue of Common Shares
pursuant to the exercise of Rights will not be in violation of the laws of the applicable jurisdiction. Following such date, the
Depository, for the account of registered Ineligible Holders, will, prior to the Expiry Time, attempt to sell the Rights of such
registered Ineligible Holders represented by Rights Certificates in the possession of the Depository on such date or dates and
at such price or prices as the Depository determines in its sole discretion. No charge will be made for the sale of Rights by the
Depository except for a proportionate share of any brokerage commissions incurred by the Depository and the costs of or incurred
by the Depository in connection with the sale of the rights. Registered Ineligible Holders will not be entitled to instruct the
Depository in respect of the price or the time at which the rights are to be sold. The Depository will endeavor to effect sales
of Rights on the open market and any proceeds received by the Depository with respect to the sale of Rights net of brokerage fees
and costs incurred and, if applicable, the Canadian tax required to be withheld, will be divided on a pro rata basis among such
registered Ineligible Holders and delivered by mailing cheques (in Canadian funds) of the Depository therefor as soon as practicable
to such registered Ineligible Holders at their addresses recorded on the Company's books. Amounts of less than $10.00 will not
be remitted. The Depository will act in its capacity as agent of the registered Ineligible Holders on a best efforts basis only
and we and the Depository do not accept responsibility for the price obtained on the sale of, or the inability to sell, the Rights
on behalf of any registered Ineligible Holder.
Beneficial holders of Rights
CDS Participants receiving Rights on behalf
of Ineligible Holders will be instructed by CDS not to permit the exercise of such Rights unless the holder has completed a Representation
Letter. After the Qualification Deadline, CDS Participants should attempt to sell the Rights of Ineligible Holders for the accounts
of such holders and should deliver any proceeds of sale to such holders.
Beneficial owners of Common Shares registered
in the name of a resident of an Ineligible Jurisdiction, who are not themselves resident in an Ineligible Jurisdiction, who wish
to receive Rights and who believe that their Rights Certificates may have been delivered to the Depository, should contact their
broker at the earliest opportunity to request to have their Rights Certificates mailed to them.
The Rights and the Common Shares issuable on
the exercise of the Rights have not been qualified for distribution in any Ineligible Jurisdiction and, accordingly, may only be
offered, sold, acquired, exercised or transferred in transactions not prohibited by applicable laws in Ineligible Jurisdictions.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, persons located in certain Ineligible Jurisdictions may be able to exercise the Rights and purchase
Common Shares provided that they furnish the Representation Letter satisfactory to the Company on or before the Qualification Deadline.
The form of Representation Letter will be available from the Company or the Depository upon request. Beneficial owners of Rights
or Common Shares should contact their broker to obtain the Representation Letter. A holder of Rights in an Ineligible Jurisdiction
holding on behalf of a person resident in an Eligible Jurisdiction may be able to exercise the Rights provided the holder certifies
in the Representation Letter that the beneficial purchaser is resident in an Eligible Jurisdiction and satisfies the Company that
such subscription is lawful and in compliance with all securities and other applicable laws.
U.S. Shareholders
The Company has filed with the SEC in the United
States a Registration Statement on Form F-7 under the U.S. Securities Act (the “
Registration Statement
”) so
that the Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Rights will not be subject to transfer restrictions. However, the Rights
may be transferred only in transactions outside of the United States in accordance with Regulation S under the U.S. Securities
Act, which will permit the resale of the Rights by persons through the facilities of the TSX, provided that the offer is not made
to a person in the United States, neither the seller nor any person acting on its behalf knows that the transaction has been prearranged
with a buyer in the United States, and no "directed selling efforts", as that term is defined in Regulation S under the
U.S. Securities Act, are conducted in the United States in connection with the resale. Certain additional conditions are applicable
to the Company's "affiliates", as that term is defined under the U.S. Securities Act. In order to enforce this resale
restriction, holders thereof will be required to execute a declaration certifying that such sale is being made outside the United
States in accordance with Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act, which is included as part of Form 3.
What is the Additional Subscription Privilege
and how can you exercise this privilege?
Registered holders of Rights
If you exercise all of your Rights under the
Basic Subscription Privilege, you may subscribe for additional Common Shares that have not been subscribed and paid for pursuant
to the Basic Subscription Privilege (the "
Additional Common Shares
") pursuant to the Additional Subscription Privilege.
If you wish to exercise the Additional Subscription Privilege, you must first exercise your Basic Subscription Right in full by
completing Form 1 on the Rights Certificate for the maximum number of Common Shares that you may subscribe for and also complete
Form 2 on the Rights Certificate, specifying the number of Additional Common Shares desired. Send the purchase price for the
Additional Common Shares under the Additional Subscription Privilege with your Rights Certificate to the Depository. The purchase
price is payable in Canadian funds by certified cheque, bank draft or money order payable to the order of Computershare Investor
Services Inc. These funds will be placed in a segregated account pending allocation of the Additional Common Shares, with any excess
funds being returned by mail without interest or deduction. Interest, if any, earned on such funds will be for our benefit.
If the aggregate number of Additional Common
Shares subscribed for by those who exercise their Additional Subscription Privilege is less than the number of available Additional
Common Shares, each such holder of rights will be allotted the number of Additional Common Shares subscribed for under the Additional
Subscription Privilege.
If the aggregate number of Additional Common
Shares subscribed for by those who exercise their Additional Subscription Privilege exceeds the number of available Additional
Common Shares, each such holder of rights will be entitled to receive the number of Additional Common Shares equal to the lesser
of:
|
1.
|
the number of Additional Common Shares subscribed for by the holder under the Additional Subscription
Privilege; and
|
|
2.
|
the product (disregarding fractions) obtained by multiplying the aggregate number of Additional
Common Shares available through unexercised rights by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of rights previously exercised
by the holder and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of rights previously exercised by all holders of rights who
have subscribed for Additional Common Shares under the Additional Subscription Privilege.
|
As soon as practicable after the Expiry Time,
the Depository will mail to each holder of rights who completed Form 2 on the Rights Certificate, a certificate for the Additional
Common Shares which that holder has purchased and shall return to the holder any excess funds paid for the subscription of Additional
Common Shares by such holder under the Additional Subscription Privilege, without interest or deduction.
Beneficial holders of Rights
If you are a beneficial holder of rights through
a Participant in CDS and you wish to exercise your Additional Subscription Privilege, you must deliver your payment and instructions
to the Participant sufficiently in advance of the Expiry Time to allow the Participant to properly exercise the Additional Subscription
Privilege on your behalf.
How does a rights holder sell or transfer
rights?
Registered Holders of Rights
The rights will trade on the TSX under the
trading symbol "III.RT" until 9:00 a.m. (Pacific Time) on December 22, 2017. Holders of Rights Certificates
not wishing to exercise their rights may sell or transfer them directly or through their securities broker or dealer at the shareholder’s
expense, subject to any applicable resale restrictions. Rights Certificates will not be registered in the name of an Ineligible
Shareholder. Holders of Rights Certificates may elect to exercise only a part of their rights and dispose of the remainder, or
dispose of all of their rights. Any commission or other fee payable in connection with the exercise or any trade of rights is the
responsibility of the holder of such rights. Depending on the number of rights a holder may wish to sell, the commission payable
in connection with a sale of rights could exceed the proceeds received from such sale.
If you wish to transfer your rights, complete
Form 3 (the "
Transfer Form
") on the Rights Certificate, have the signature guaranteed by an "eligible institution"
to the satisfaction of the Depository and deliver the Rights Certificate to the transferee. For this purpose, eligible institution
means a Canadian Schedule 1 chartered bank, a major trust company in Canada, a member of the Securities Transfer Agents Medallion
Program, or a member of the Stock Exchange Medallion Program. Members of these programs are usually members of a recognized stock
exchange in Canada or members of the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada.
It is not necessary for a transferee to obtain
a new Rights Certificate to exercise the rights or the Additional Subscription Privilege, but the signature of the transferee on
Forms 1 and 2 must correspond in every particular with the name of the transferee shown on the Transfer Form. If the Transfer Form
is properly completed, the Company and the Depository will treat the transferee as the absolute owner of the Rights Certificate
for all purposes and will not be affected by notice to the contrary. A Rights Certificate so completed should be delivered to the
appropriate person in ample time for the transferee to use it before the expiration of the rights.
Beneficial holders of Rights
If you hold Common Shares through a Participant,
you must arrange for the exercise, transfer or purchase of rights through that Participant.
U.S. Restriction
The Rights may be transferred only in transactions
outside of the United States in accordance with Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act, which will permit the resale of
the Rights by a Rights holder through the facilities of the TSX, provided that the offer is not made to a person in the United
States, neither the seller nor any person acting on its behalf knows that the transaction has been prearranged with a buyer in
the United States, and no "directed selling efforts", as that term is defined in Regulation S under the U.S. Securities
Act, are conducted in the United States in connection with the resale. Certain additional conditions are applicable to the Company's
"affiliates", as that term is defined under the U.S. Securities Act. In order to enforce this resale restriction, a Rights
holder thereof will be required to execute a declaration certifying that such sale is being made through the facilities of the
TSX in accordance with Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act.
Are there restrictions on the resale of
securities?
Rights offered to holders in Canada and the
Common Shares issuable on exercise of such Rights may be resold without hold period restrictions under the applicable Canadian
securities laws, including through the facilities of the TSX, by such holders provided that: (i) the sale is not by a “control
person” of the Company; (ii) no unusual effort is made to prepare the market or create a demand for the securities being
resold; (iii) no extraordinary commission or consideration is paid to a person or company in respect of the resale; and (iv) if
the selling security holder is an insider or officer of the Company, the selling security holder has no reasonable grounds to believe
that the Company is in default of securities legislation.
The Company has filed with the SEC in the United
States the Registration Statement so that the Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Rights will not be subject to transfer
restrictions in the United States. However, the Rights may be transferred only in transactions outside of the United States in
accordance with Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act. See "How does a rights holder sell or transfer rights? –
U.S. Restriction" above.
Each holder is urged to consult their professional
advisor to determine the exact conditions and restrictions applicable to the right to trade in securities.
Will we issue fractional underlying securities
upon exercise of the rights?
No. Where the exercise of Rights would appear
to entitle the holder of rights to fractional Common Shares, the holder's entitlement will be reduced to the next lowest whole
number of Common Shares, and no cash or other consideration will be paid in lieu thereof.
APPOINTMENT OF DEPOSITORY
Who is the Depository?
Computershare Investor Services Inc. is the
Depository for the Offering. The Depository has been appointed to receive subscriptions and payments from holders of Rights and
to perform the services relating to the exercise and transfer of Rights.
What happens if we do not raise the Committed
Offering amount or we do not receive funds from the Guarantors?
The Committed Offering will be raised if the
Committed Insiders and their respective affiliates exercise their Basic Subscription Privileges. The Company will proceed with
the Offering even if the Committed Offering is not raised or if funds are not received from the Guarantors.
