As disclosed in Item
6 of Amendment No. 7 to the Schedule filed on December 12, 2013, on December 4, 2013, 4198832 Canada Inc., a subsidiary of Lincolnshire,
entered into an OTC Forward Master Agreement (the "
Forward Agreement
") and a related confirmation, supplemented
by a notice dated December 9, 2013 that provided the price terms of the Forward Agreement (collectively, the "
Forward
")
with an unaffiliated third party buyer ("
Buyer
") as part of a monetization transaction (the "
Monetization
Transaction
"). As part of the Monetization Transaction, a Canadian chartered bank affiliate of Buyer ("
Initial
Bank
") made a zero coupon loan to 4198832 in the principal amount of US$15,444,000.00 (the "
Loan
") that
was payable in cash at the settlement of the Forward. 4198832's obligations under the Loan were secured by a senior pledge to Initial
Bank of 400,000 Class B Exchangeable Shares, and 4198832's rights under the Forward Agreement. 4198832's obligations under the
Forward Agreement were secured by a subordinate pledge to Buyer of the 400,000 Class B Exchangeable Shares. The Class B Exchangeable
Shares are exchangeable at the option of the holder for Class B Shares on a one-for-one basis. Additional details concerning the
Forward are set forth in Amendment No. 7 to the Schedule filed on December 12, 2013.
On March 14 and 16,
2018, respectively, 4198832 and Buyer entered into a pre-settlement agreement and termination agreement (collectively, the "
Early
Termination Agreement
") in respect of the Monetization Transaction in consideration for the payment by 4198832 to Buyer
of an amount calculated pursuant to the Early Termination Agreement. On March 16, 4198832 repaid the Loan in full. In order to
finance the payments required to be made under the Early Termination Agreement and the repayment of the Loan, 4198832 entered into
a new loan agreement with a Canadian chartered bank (“
New Bank
”) pursuant to which New Bank agreed to make a
loan to 4198832 in the principal amount of approximately US$28 million and make available a derivative facility for interest rate
swap of up to approximately CDN$3 million, which is secured by a senior pledge to New Bank of 440,000 Class B Exchangeable Shares.
