PART I

INFORMATION REQUIRED TO BE DELIVERED TO OFFEREES OR PURCHASERS

I-1


This short form prospectus is a base shelf prospectus that has been filed under legislation in each of the provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario and Nova Scotia that permits certain information about these securities to be determined after this short form prospectus has become final and that permits the omission from this short form prospectus of that information. The legislation requires the delivery to purchasers of a prospectus supplement containing the omitted information within a specified period of time after agreeing to purchase any of these securities. A registration statement relating to these securities has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

No securities regulatory authority has expressed an opinion about the securities and it is an offence to claim otherwise. This short form prospectus constitutes a public offering of these securities only in those jurisdictions where they may be lawfully offered for sale and therein only by persons permitted to sell such securities.

Information has been incorporated by reference in this short form prospectus from documents filed with securities commissions or similar authorities in Canada. Copies of the documents incorporated herein by reference may be obtained on request without charge from the Corporate Secretary of Trillium Therapeutics Inc. at 96 Skyway Avenue, Toronto, Ontario, M9W 4Y9 telephone (416) 595-0627, and are also available electronically at www.sedar.com.

Short Form Base Shelf Prospectus

New Issue Dated June 4, 2015

US$100,000,000

Common Shares
First Preferred Shares
Warrants
Units

Trillium Therapeutics Inc., or “we”, “our”, “Trillium” or “the Corporation”, may from time to time during the 25-month period that this prospectus, or Prospectus, including any amendments, remains valid, offer and sell under this Prospectus in one or more offerings, for an aggregate offering price of up to US$100,000,000 (or the equivalent in other currencies or currency units) common shares in the capital of the Corporation, or “Common Shares”, First Preferred shares in the capital of the Corporation, or “First Preferred Shares”, warrants to purchase Common Shares, or “Warrants” and units, or “Units”, comprised of one or more of the other securities described in this Prospectus in any combination (the Units, together with the Common Shares, First Preferred Shares and Warrants, are referred to as the “Securities”). We may offer Securities in such amounts and at such prices and, in the case of the Warrants and Units, with such terms, as we may determine in light of market conditions. We may sell the Warrants in one or more series and the First Preferred Shares, in one or more series.


We are permitted, under a multijurisdictional disclosure system adopted by the United States and Canada, to prepare this Prospectus in accordance with Canadian disclosure requirements, which are different from those of the United States. We prepare our financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, or “IFRS”, and they are subject to Canadian auditing and independence standards. Thus, they may not be comparable to financial statements of United States companies.

Owning the Securities may subject you to tax consequences both in the United States and Canada. This Prospectus or any applicable supplement to this Prospectus, or “Prospectus Supplement”, may not describe these tax consequences fully. You should read the tax discussion in any applicable Prospectus Supplement.

Your ability to enforce civil liabilities under the United States federal securities laws may be affected adversely because we are incorporated in Ontario, Canada, some or all of our officers and directors and some or all of the experts named in this Prospectus are residents of countries other than the United States, and most or all of our assets are located in Canada.

Neither the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, or “SEC”, nor any state securities regulator has approved or disapproved these Securities, or determined if this Prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

There are certain risk factors that should be carefully reviewed by prospective purchasers. See “Risk Factors”.

The specific terms of the Securities with respect to a particular offering will be set forth in a Prospectus Supplement, including where applicable: (i) in the case of the Common Shares, the number of Common Shares offered, the currency (which may be Canadian dollars or any other currency), the issue price and any other specific terms; (ii) in the case of the First Preferred Shares, the number and series of First Preferred Shares offered, the currency (which may be Canadian dollars or any other currency), the issue price and any other specific terms; (iii) in the case of Warrants, the designation, the number of Warrants offered, the currency (which may be Canadian dollars or any other currency), number of Common Shares that may be acquired upon exercise of the Warrants, the exercise price, dates and periods of exercise, adjustment procedures and any other specific terms; and (iv) in the case of Units, the designation, the number of Units offered, the offering price, the currency (which may be Canadian dollars or any other currency), terms of the Units and of the Securities comprising the Units and any other specific terms. We may also include in a Prospectus Supplement specific terms pertaining to the Securities which are not within the options and parameters set forth in this Prospectus.

All shelf information permitted under applicable laws to be omitted from this Prospectus will be contained in one or more Prospectus Supplements that will be delivered to purchasers together with this Prospectus. Each Prospectus Supplement will be incorporated by reference into this Prospectus for the purposes of securities legislation as of the date of the Prospectus Supplement and only for the purposes of the distribution of the Securities to which the Prospectus Supplement pertains. You should read this Prospectus and any applicable Prospectus Supplement before you invest in the Securities.

The outstanding Common Shares are listed for trading on the TSX, or “TSX”, under the trading symbol “TR” and on the NASDAQ Capital Market, or “NASDAQ”, under the trading symbol “TRIL”. Unless otherwise specified in any applicable Prospectus Supplement, the First Preferred shares, Warrants and Units will not be listed on any securities exchange. Unless specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, there is no market through which the First Preferred Shares, Warrants or Units may be sold and purchasers may not be able to resell the First Preferred Shares, Warrants or Units purchased under this Prospectus. This may affect the pricing of these securities in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices, the liquidity of the securities, and the extent of issuer regulation. See the “Risk Factors” section of the applicable Prospectus Supplement.


We may sell the Securities to or through underwriters, dealers, placement agents or other intermediaries or directly to purchasers or through agents. See “Plan of Distribution”. The Prospectus Supplement relating to a particular offering of Securities will identify each person who may be deemed to be an underwriter with respect to such offering and will set forth the terms of the offering of such Securities, including, as well as any fees or compensation payable to them in connection with the offering and sale of a particular issue of Securities, the public offering price or prices of the Securities and the proceeds to us from the sale of the Securities.

Subject to applicable securities legislation, in connection with any offering of Securities under this Prospectus, the underwriters, if any, may over-allot or effect transactions which stabilize or maintain the market price of the Securities offered at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. These transactions, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time. See “Plan of Distribution”.

You should rely only on the information contained in this Prospectus. We have not authorized anyone to provide you with information different from that contained in this Prospectus.

Our head office and registered office is located at 96 Skyway Avenue, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M9W 4Y9.

DEFINITIONS AND OTHER MATTERS

In this Prospectus, unless otherwise indicated, references to “Trillium”, “the Corporation”, “we”, “our” or similar terms are, unless otherwise stated or the context requires otherwise, to Trillium Therapeutics Inc. and the subsidiaries through which it conducts business. Unless otherwise indicated, all financial information included and incorporated by reference in this Prospectus is determined using IFRS, which differs from United States generally accepted accounting principles.

You should rely only on the information contained or incorporated by reference in this Prospectus and any applicable Prospectus Supplement. We have not authorized anyone to provide readers with different information. We are not making an offer to sell or seeking an offer to buy the Securities in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted. You should not assume that the information contained in this Prospectus and any applicable Prospectus Supplement is accurate as of any date other than the date on the front of such documents, regardless of the time of delivery of this Prospectus and any applicable Prospectus Supplement or of any sale of the Securities. Information contained on our website should not be deemed to be a part of this Prospectus or incorporated by reference into this Prospectus and should not be relied upon for the purpose of determining whether to invest in the Securities.

CURRENCY AND EXCHANGE RATE PRESENTATION

The financial statements incorporated by reference into this Prospectus are reported in Canadian dollars. All references to “dollars” or “$” in this Prospectus are to Canadian dollars and all references to “US$” are to United States dollars.

The following table sets forth, for each period indicated, the high, low and average exchange rates for Canadian dollars expressed in United States dollars, as provided by the Bank of Canada. The exchange rates set forth below demonstrate trends in exchange rates, but the actual exchange rates used throughout this Prospectus may vary. The average exchange rate is calculated by using the average of the closing prices on the last day of each month during the relevant period. On June 3, 2015, the noon exchange rate for one Canadian dollar expressed in United States dollars as reported by the Bank of Canada, was $1.00 = US$0.8041. The high and low exchange rates are intra-day values rather than noon or closing rates.

ENFORCEMENT OF CIVIL LIABILITIES

Trillium Therapeutics Inc. is an Ontario corporation and its principal place of business is in Canada. Some or all of the directors and officers of the Corporation are resident outside of the United States and most or all of its assets and the assets of such persons are located outside of the United States. Consequently, it may be difficult for United States investors to effect service of process within the United States on the Corporation or its directors or officers, or to realize in the United States on judgments of courts of the United States predicated on civil liabilities under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the “U.S. Securities Act”. You should not assume that Canadian courts would enforce judgments of United States courts obtained in actions against the Corporation or such persons predicated on the civil liability provisions of the United States federal securities laws or the securities or “blue sky” laws of any state within the United States or would enforce, in original actions, liabilities against the Corporation or such persons predicated on the United States federal securities or any such state securities or “blue sky” laws. We believe that a judgment of a United States court predicated solely upon civil liability under United States federal securities laws would probably be enforceable in Canada if the United States court in which the judgment was obtained has a basis for jurisdiction in the matter that would be recognized by a Canadian court for the same purposes. We also believe, however, that there is substantial doubt whether an action could be brought in Canada in the first instance on the basis of liability predicated solely upon United States federal securities laws.

We have filed with the SEC, concurrently with the registration statement on Form F-10 of which this Prospectus forms a part, an appointment of agent for service of process on Form F-X. Under the Form F-X, we appointed Puglisi & Associates as our agent for service of process in the United States in connection with any investigation or administrative proceeding conducted by the SEC, and any civil suit or action brought against or involving us in a United States court, arising out of or related to or concerning the offering of Securities under this Prospectus.

Luke Beshar, Robert Kirkman, Michael Moore and Thomas Reynolds are our directors who reside outside of Canada and they have appointed the Corporation at its business address as agent for service of process. Purchasers are advised that it may not be possible for investors to enforce judgments obtained in Canada against any person or company that is incorporated, continued or otherwise organized under the laws of a foreign jurisdiction or resides outside of Canada, even if the party has appointed an agent for service of process.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Prospectus contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of applicable securities laws. All statements contained herein that are not clearly historical in nature are forward-looking, and the words “anticipate”, “believe”, “expect”, “estimate”, “may”, “will”, “could”, “leading”, “intend”, “contemplate”, “shall” and similar expressions are generally intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements in this prospectus include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to:

•  our strategy with respect to the protection of our intellectual property.

All forward-looking statements reflect our beliefs and assumptions based on information available at the time the assumption was made. These forward-looking statements are not based on historical facts but rather on management’s expectations regarding future activities, results of operations, performance, future capital and other expenditures (including the amount, nature and sources of funding thereof), competitive advantages, business prospects and opportunities. By their nature, forward-looking information involves numerous assumptions, inherent risks and uncertainties, both general and specific, known and unknown, that contribute to the possibility that the predictions, forecasts, projections or other forward-looking statements will not occur. Factors which could cause future outcomes to differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:

the effect of continuing operating losses on our ability to obtain, on satisfactory terms, or at all, the capital required to maintain us as a going concern;
   
the ability to obtain sufficient and suitable financing to support operations, preclinical development, clinical trials, and commercialization of products;
   
the risks associated with the development of novel compounds at early stages of development in our intellectual property portfolio;
   
the risks of reliance on third-parties for the planning, conduct and monitoring of clinical trials and for the manufacture of drug product;
   
the risks associated with the development of our product candidates including the demonstration of efficacy and safety;
   
the risks related to clinical trials including potential delays, cost overruns and the failure to demonstrate efficacy and safety;
   
 • the risks of delays and inability to complete clinical trials due to difficulties enrolling patients;
   
risks associated with our inability to successfully develop companion diagnostics for our development candidates;
   
 • delays or negative outcomes from the regulatory approval process;
   
 • our ability to successfully compete in our targeted markets;
   
 • our ability to attract and retain key personnel, collaborators and advisors;
   
risks relating to the increase in operating costs from expanding existing programs, acquisition of additional development programs and increased staff;
   
risk of negative results of clinical trials or adverse safety events by us or others related to our product candidates;
   
 • the potential for product liability claims;
   
 • our ability to achieve our forecasted milestones and timelines on schedule;
   
financial risks related to the fluctuation of foreign currency rates and expenses denominated in foreign currencies;

3



our ability to adequately protect proprietary information and technology from competitors;
   
risks related to changes in patent laws and their interpretations;
   
our ability to source and maintain licenses from third-party owners; and
   
the risk of patent-related litigation and the ability to protect trade secrets,

all as further and more fully described under the section of this Prospectus entitled “Risk Factors”.

Although the forward-looking statements contained in this Prospectus are based upon what our management believes to be reasonable assumptions, we cannot assure readers that actual results will be consistent with these forward-looking statements.

Any forward-looking statements represent our estimates only as of the date of this Prospectus and should not be relied upon as representing our estimates as of any subsequent date. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement or statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as may be required by securities legislation.

AVAILABLE INFORMATION

We are subject to the informational requirements of the Exchange Act and applicable Canadian requirements and, in accordance therewith, we file reports and other information with the SEC and with securities regulatory authorities in Canada. Under the multijurisdictional disclosure system adopted by the United States and Canada, such reports and other information may be prepared in accordance with the disclosure requirements of Canada, which are different from those of the United States. As a foreign private issuer, we are exempt from the rules under the Exchange Act prescribing the furnishing and content of proxy statements, and our officers, directors and principal shareholders are exempt from the reporting and short-swing profit recovery provisions contained in Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Reports and other information filed by us with, or furnished to, the SEC may be inspected and copied at the public reference facilities maintained by the SEC in the SEC’s public reference room at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C., 20549 by paying a fee. You may call the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330 or access its website at www.sec.gov for further information regarding the public reference facilities. The SEC also maintains a website that contains reports and other information regarding registrants that file electronically with the SEC. The address of the website is www.sec.gov.

We have filed with the SEC a registration statement on Form F-10 under the U.S. Securities Act with respect to the Securities. This Prospectus, including the documents incorporated by reference into this Prospectus, which forms a part of that registration statement, does not contain all of the information set forth in the registration statement, certain parts of which are contained in the exhibits to the registration statement as permitted by the rules and regulations of the SEC. For further information with respect to our corporation and the Securities, reference is made to the registration statement and the exhibits thereto. Statements contained in this Prospectus, including the documents incorporated by reference into this Prospectus, as to the contents of certain documents are not necessarily complete and, in each instance, reference is made to the copy of the document filed as an exhibit to the registration statement. Each such statement is qualified in its entirety by such reference. The registration statement can be found on EDGAR at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

THE CORPORATION

We are an immuno-oncology company developing innovative therapies for the treatment of cancer. Our lead program, SIRPαFc, is a novel, antibody-like protein that harnesses the innate immune system by blocking the activity of CD47, a molecule whose expression is increased on cancer cells to evade the host immune system. Expressed at high levels on the cell surface of a variety of liquid and solid tumors, CD47 functions as a signal that inhibits the destruction of tumor cells by macrophages via phagocytosis. By blocking the activity of CD47, we believe SIRPαFc has the ability to promote the macrophage-mediated killing of tumor cells in a broad variety of cancers both as a monotherapy and in combination with other immune therapies.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in the Securities involves a high degree of risk. Prospective investors should consider carefully the risk factors incorporated by reference in this Prospectus (including in subsequently filed documents incorporated by reference) and those described in any Prospectus Supplement before purchasing the Securities offered hereby. Prospective investors should consider the categories of risks identified and discussed in our annual information form and management’s discussion and analysis incorporated herein by reference. Any one of such risk factors could materially affect our business, financial condition and/or future operating results and prospects and could cause actual events to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements and information relating to our corporation. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently identified by us or that we currently believe not to be material also may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, operations or prospects.

USE OF PROCEEDS

Unless otherwise indicated in an applicable Prospectus Supplement relating to an offering of Securities, we will use the net proceeds that we receive from the sale of Securities for ongoing research and development activities, working capital and general corporate purposes, which may include advancing the development of our SIRPαFc program, and investment in other development programs. Specific information about the use of net proceeds will be described in the applicable Prospectus Supplement.

CAPITALIZATION

On April 7, 2015 we completed an underwritten public offering of Common Shares and Series II First Preferred Shares.

DESCRIPTION OF COMMON SHARES

Holders of Common Shares are entitled to receive notice of and to attend all meetings of shareholders, except meetings at which holders of another specified class of shares are exclusively entitled to vote, and are entitled to one vote for each Common Share held on all votes taken at such meetings. The holders of Common Shares are entitled to receive such dividends as the board of directors may in their discretion declare, regardless of whether dividends are declared on any other class of shares. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the holders of Common Shares are entitled to receive any remaining property after payment of any amount required to redeem or retract any issued and outstanding First Preferred Shares of the Corporation and any other shares ranking senior in priority to the Common Shares.

Class B Shares

The holders of the Class B Shares are entitled to receive notice of and to attend any meeting of our shareholders but shall not be entitled to vote any of their Class B Shares at any such meeting. Each issued and fully paid Class B Share may at any time be converted, at the option of the holder, into one Common Share.

DESCRIPTION OF FIRST PREFERRED SHARES

The First Preferred Shares may at any time and from time to time be issued in one or more series and our board of directors may before the issue thereof fix the number of shares in, and determine the designation, rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to the shares of, each series of First Preferred Shares.

The First Preferred Shares are entitled to priority over the Common Shares and Class B Shares and all other shares ranking junior to the First Preferred Shares with respect to the payment of dividends and the distribution of our assets in the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up or other distribution of our assets among our shareholders for the purpose of winding up our affairs.

The First Preferred Shares of each series rank on a parity with the First Preferred Shares of every other series with respect to priority in the payment of dividends and in the distribution of our assets in the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up or other distribution of our assets among our shareholders for the purpose of winding up our affairs.

8


Series I First Preferred Shares

During 2013, we created a new series of First Preferred Shares, our Series I First Preferred Shares. The holders of Series I First Preferred Shares are not entitled to vote at any meeting of our shareholders (except in limited circumstances provided for in the Business Corporations Act (Ontario)).

The holders of Series I First Preferred Shares are entitled to receive dividends as determined and declared at the discretion of our board of directors equally on a one-for-one basis with the holders of shares of the other series of First Preferred Shares and, at the discretion of our board of directors, either in priority to, or equally on a share-for-share basis with, holders of our Common Shares or Class B Shares. If any amount of cumulative dividends, whether or not declared, or declared non-cumulative dividends, with respect to shares of a series of our First Preferred Shares is not paid in full, the shares of the series will participate on a pro rata basis with the shares of all other series of that class of shares with respect to all accumulated cumulative dividends, whether or not declared, and all declared non-cumulative dividends.

Each issued and fully paid Series I First Preferred Share may at any time be converted, at the option of the holder, into one Common Share, subject to adjustment. Following the 30 for 1 share consolidation completed in November 2014, each presently outstanding Series I First Preferred Share may be converted, at the option of the holder into one thirtieth (1/30th) of a Common Share, subject to further adjustment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, holders of Series I First Preferred Shares will be prohibited from converting Series I First Preferred Shares into Common Shares if, as a result of such conversion, the holder, together with its affiliates, would own more than 4.99% (which the holder may elect to increase or decrease by written notice to us to any other percentage specified in such notice, provided that any increase (but not decrease) will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice) of the total number of our Common Shares then issued and outstanding, unless the holder gives us at least 61 days prior notice of an intent to convert into Common Shares that would cause the holder to own more than 4.99% (or another percentage elected by the holder) of the total number of our Common Shares then issued and outstanding.

In addition, we will not be required to deliver to a holder any Common Shares upon a conversion of our Series I First Preferred Shares into Common Shares if our Common Shares are then listed and posted for trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange (or the TSX Venture Exchange) and to the extent that the conversion would result in the holder, together with any person acting jointly or in concert with the holder within the meaning of the Securities Act (Ontario), beneficially owning or exercising control or direction over Common Shares representing more than:

1.

9.99% of our outstanding Common Shares unless the holder (or, where the holder is not an individual, any director, officer or insider of the holder) has first provided:


  (a)

the stock exchange with a personal information form pursuant to the rules of that stock exchange and the form has been approved by the stock exchange; and

     
  (b)

a copy of the approval of the personal information form by the stock exchange to us; and


2.

19.99% of our outstanding Common Shares, unless we have received approval from the stock exchange and the holders of our Common Shares of the issuance of Common Shares at a meeting of holders of Common Shares which we will call, at our expense, in accordance with the applicable policies of the stock exchange.

In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, whether voluntary or involuntary, or in the event of any other distribution of our assets among our shareholders for the purpose of winding-up our affairs, or in the event of a reduction or redemption of our capital stock, the holders of Series I First Preferred Shares are entitled to receive an amount per share equal to that amount of money that we received as consideration for such Series I First Preferred Shares or, in the event that Series I First Preferred Shares were not issued for money, then the amount equal to the fair value of any property we received as consideration for the issuance of such Series I First Preferred Shares divided by the number of Series I First Preferred Shares issued, the whole before any amount shall be paid by us or any of our assets shall be distributed to holders of our Common Shares and Class B Shares. After such payment, the holders of Series I First Preferred Shares are not entitled to share in any further distribution of our property or assets. If any amount payable on return of capital in the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding-up in respect of shares of a series of our First Preferred Shares is not paid in full, the shares of the series will participate on a pro rata basis with the shares of all other series of that class of shares with respect to all amounts payable on return of capital in the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding-up.

9


Series II First Preferred Shares

During 2015, we created a new series of First Preferred Shares, our Series II First Preferred Shares. The holders of Series II First Preferred Shares are not entitled to vote at any meeting of our shareholders (except in limited circumstances provided for in the Business Corporations Act (Ontario)).

The holders of Series II First Preferred Shares are entitled to receive dividends as determined and declared at the discretion of our board of directors on a parity basis with the holders of shares of the other series of First Preferred Shares and, at the discretion of our board of directors, either in priority to, or equally on a share-for-share basis with, holders of our Common Shares or Class B Shares. If any amount of cumulative dividends, whether or not declared, or declared non-cumulative dividends, with respect to shares of a series of our First Preferred Shares is not paid in full, the shares of the series will participate on a pro rata basis with the shares of all other series of that class of shares with respect to all accumulated cumulative dividends, whether or not declared, and all declared non-cumulative dividends.

Each issued and fully paid Series II First Preferred Share may at any time be converted, at the option of the holder, into one common share, subject to adjustment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, holders of Series II First Preferred Shares will be prohibited from converting Series II First Preferred Shares into Common Shares if, as a result of such conversion, the holder, together with its affiliates, would own more than 4.99% (which the holder may elect to increase or decrease by written notice to us to any other percentage specified in such notice, provided that any increase (but not decrease) will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice) of the total number of our Common Shares then issued and outstanding, unless the holder gives us at least 61 days prior notice of an intent to convert into Common Shares that would cause the holder to own more than 4.99% of the total number of our Common Shares then issued and outstanding.

In addition, we will not be required to deliver to a holder any Common Shares upon a conversion of our Series II First Preferred Shares into Common Shares if our Common Shares are then listed and posted for trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange (or the TSX Venture Exchange) and to the extent that the conversion would result in the holder, together with any person acting jointly or in concert with the holder within the meaning of the Securities Act (Ontario), beneficially owning or exercising control or direction over Common Shares representing more than:

  1.

9.99% of our outstanding Common Shares unless the holder (or, where the holder is not an individual, any director, officer or insider of the holder) has first provided:


    (a)

the stock exchange with a personal information form pursuant to the rules of that stock exchange and the form has been approved by the stock exchange; and

       
    (b)

a copy of the approval of the personal information form by the stock exchange to us; and


  2.

19.99% of our outstanding Common Shares, unless we have received approval from the stock exchange and the holders of our Common Shares of the issuance of Common Shares at a meeting of holders of Common Shares which we will call, at our expense, in accordance with the applicable policies of the stock exchange.

In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, whether voluntary or involuntary, or in the event of any other distribution of our assets among our shareholders for the purpose of winding-up our affairs, or in the event of a reduction or redemption of our capital stock, the holders of Series II First Preferred Shares are entitled to receive an amount per share equal to that amount of money that we received as consideration for such Series II First Preferred Shares or, in the event that Series II First Preferred Shares were not issued for money, then the amount equal to the fair value of any property we received as consideration for the issuance of such Series II First Preferred Shares divided by the number of Series II First Preferred Shares issued, the whole before any amount shall be paid by us or any of our assets shall be distributed to holders of our Common Shares and Class B Shares. After such payment, the holders of Series II First Preferred Shares are not entitled to share in any further distribution of our property or assets. If any amount payable on return of capital in the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding-up in respect of shares of a series of our First Preferred Shares is not paid in full, the shares of the series will participate on a pro rata basis with the shares of all other series of that class of shares with respect to all amounts payable on return of capital in the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding-up.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We may, from time to time, during the 25-month period that this Prospectus remains valid, offer for sale and issue Securities. We may issue and sell up to US$100,000,000, in the aggregate, of Securities.

We may sell Securities to or through underwriters, dealers, placement agents or other intermediaries and also may sell Securities directly to purchasers or through agents, subject to obtaining any applicable exemption from registration requirements.

The distribution of Securities may be effected from time to time in one or more transactions at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, including in transactions that are deemed to be “at-the-market distributions” as defined in National Instrument 44-102 Shelf Distributions, or NI 44-102, including sales made directly on the TSX, NASDAQ or other existing trading markets for the Securities, or at prices related to such prevailing market prices to be negotiated with purchasers and as set forth in an accompanying Prospectus Supplement. In connection with the sale of Securities, underwriters may receive compensation from us or from purchasers of Securities for whom they may act as agents in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions. Underwriters, dealers, placement agents or other intermediaries that participate in the distribution of Securities may be deemed to be underwriters and any discounts or commissions received by them from us and any profit on the resale of Securities by them may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under applicable securities legislation. Any such transactions that are deemed to be “at-the-market distributions” as defined in NI 44-102 will be conducted in accordance with applicable securities legislation in Canada and will be subject to regulatory approval.

13


If so indicated in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, we may authorize dealers or other persons acting as our agents to solicit offers by certain institutions to purchase the Securities directly from us pursuant to contracts providing for payment and delivery on a future date. These contracts will be subject only to the conditions set forth in the applicable Prospectus Supplement or supplements, which will also set forth the commission payable for solicitation of these contracts.

The Prospectus Supplement relating to any offering of Securities will set forth the terms of the offering of the Securities, including the name or names of any underwriters, dealers, placement agents or intermediaries and any fees or compensation payable to them in connection with the offering and sale of a particular issue of Securities, the public offering price or prices of the Securities and the proceeds to us from the sale of the Securities.

Under agreements which may be entered into by us, underwriters, dealers, placement agents and other intermediaries who participate in the distribution of Securities may be entitled to indemnification by us against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable Canadian securities legislation, or to contribution with respect to payments which such underwriters, dealers, placement agents or other intermediaries may be required to make in respect thereof. The underwriters, dealers, placement agents and other intermediaries with whom we enter into agreements may be customers of, engage in transactions with or perform services for us in the ordinary course of business. Any offering of First Preferred Shares, Warrants or Units will be a new issue of securities with no established trading market. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the First Preferred Shares, Warrants or Units will not be listed on any securities exchange. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, there is no market through which the First Preferred Shares, Warrants or Units may be sold and purchasers may not be able to resell First Preferred Shares, Warrants or Units purchased under this Prospectus or any Prospectus Supplement. This may affect the pricing of the First Preferred Shares, Warrants or Units in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices, the liquidity of the securities, and the extent of issuer regulation. Certain dealers may make a market in the First Preferred Shares, Warrants or Units, as applicable, but will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. No assurance can be given that any dealer will make a market in the First Preferred Shares, Warrants or Units or as to the liquidity of the trading market, if any, for the First Preferred Shares, Warrants or Units.

Subject to applicable securities legislation, in connection with any offering of Securities under this Prospectus, other than an “at-the-market distribution”, the underwriters, dealers or agents, if any, may over-allot or effect transactions which stabilize or maintain the market price of the Securities offered at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. These transactions, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time. No underwriter, dealer or agent involved in an “at-the-market distribution”, as defined in NI 44-102, no affiliate of such an underwriter, dealer or agent and no person acting jointly or in concert with such an underwriter, dealer or agent will over-allot Securities in connection with such distribution or effect any other transactions that are intended to stabilize or maintain the market price of the Securities.

INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The applicable Prospectus Supplement may describe certain Canadian or United States federal income tax consequences which may be applicable to a purchaser of Securities offered thereunder.

DOCUMENTS FILED AS PART OF THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

The following documents have been, or will be, filed with the SEC as part of the registration statement on Form F-10 of which this Prospectus forms a part: the documents listed under “Documents Incorporated by Reference”; consents of accountants and counsel; and powers of attorney from some of our directors and officers.

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED TO BE DELIVERED TO
OFFEREES OR PURCHASERS

Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the “OBCA”), the Registrant may, indemnify a director or officer of the corporation, a former director or officer of the corporation or another individual who acts or acted at the corporation’s request as a director or officer, or an individual acting in a similar capacity, of another entity (an “indemnified person”), against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by the individual in respect of any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other proceeding in which the individual is involved because of that association with the corporation or other entity, if the individual acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the corporation or, as the case may be, to the best interests of the other entity for which the individual acted as a director or officer or in a similar capacity at the corporation’s request, and, in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, such individual had reasonable grounds for believing that his or her conduct was lawful. The Registrant may advance moneys to an indemnified person for the costs, charges and expenses of a proceeding referred to above, but the individual must repay the money if the individual has not acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the corporation or, as the case may be, to the best interests of any other entity for which the indemnified person acted as a director or officer or in a similar capacity at the corporation's request. However, any such indemnified person is entitled under the OBCA to indemnity from the corporation in respect of all costs, charges and expenses reasonably incurred by the individual in connection with the defense of any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other proceeding to which he or she is subject because of the individual’s association with the corporation or other entity, if such indemnified person was not judged by a court or other competent authority to have committed any fault or omitted to do anything that the individual ought to have done and fulflled the conditions set forth above.

By-laws of Registrant

In accordance with the provisions of the OBCA, the by-laws of the Registrant provide that the Registrant will indemnify a director or officer, a former director or officer, or an individual who acts or acted at the Registrant’s request as a director or officer or an individual acting in a similar capacity of another entity, and such person’s heirs and legal representatives, against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by such individual in respect of any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other proceeding in which the individual is involved because of that association with the registrant or other entity, provided however that the Registrant shall not so indemnify an individual unless the individual (i) acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the registrant or, as the case may be, to the best interests of the other entity for which the individual acted as a director or officer or in a similar capacity at the registrant’s request, and (ii) if the matter is a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, had reasonable grounds for believing that the individual’s conduct was lawful.

The Registrant has purchased directors’ and officers’ liability insurance for the benefit of the directors and officers of the Registrant, to back up the Registrant’s indemnification of them against liability incurred in their capacity as directors and officers, subject to certain limitations under applicable law. If the Registrant becomes liable under the terms of its by-laws, the insurance coverage will extend to its liability; however, each claim will be subject to a per claim retention of $750,000.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is therefore unenforceable.
