Automatic Conversion:
|
|
The Notes, including accrued and unpaid interest thereon, will be converted automatically (“Automatic Conversion”), without the consent of the Noteholders, into shares of a newly issued series of our preference shares, designated as Preference Shares, Series 2020-A (the “Conversion Preference Shares”) upon the occurrence of: (i) the making by Enbridge of a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors or a proposal (or the filing of a notice of its intention to do so) under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada) or the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (Canada), (ii) any proceeding instituted by Enbridge seeking to adjudicate it a bankrupt or insolvent or, where Enbridge is insolvent, seeking liquidation, winding up, dissolution, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, protection, relief or compromise of its debts under any law relating to bankruptcy or insolvency in Canada, or seeking the entry of an order for the appointment of a receiver, interim receiver, trustee or other similar official for the property and assets of Enbridge or any substantial part of its property and assets in circumstances where Enbridge is adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, (iii) a receiver, interim receiver, trustee or other similar official is appointed over the property and assets of Enbridge or for any substantial part of its property and assets by a court of competent jurisdiction in circumstances where Enbridge is adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent under any law relating to bankruptcy or insolvency in Canada; or (iv) any proceeding is instituted against Enbridge seeking to adjudicate it a bankrupt or insolvent or, where Enbridge is insolvent, seeking liquidation, winding up, dissolution, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, protection, relief or compromise of its debts under any law relating to bankruptcy or insolvency in Canada, or seeking the entry of an order for the appointment of a receiver, interim receiver, trustee or other similar official for the property and assets of Enbridge or any substantial part of its property and assets in circumstances where Enbridge is adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent under any law relating to bankruptcy or insolvency in Canada, and either such proceeding has not been stayed or dismissed within sixty (60) days of the institution of any such proceeding or the actions sought in such proceedings occur, including the entry of an order for relief against Enbridge or the appointment of a receiver, interim receiver, trustee, or other similar official for Enbridge’s property and assets or for any substantial part of its property and assets (each, an “Automatic Conversion Event”).
The Automatic Conversion shall occur upon an Automatic Conversion Event (the “Conversion Time”). At the Conversion Time, the Notes shall be automatically converted, without the consent of the Noteholders, into a newly issued series of fully-paid Conversion Preference Shares. At such time, the Notes shall be deemed to be immediately and automatically surrendered and cancelled without need for further action by the Noteholders, who shall thereupon automatically cease to be holders thereof and all rights of any such Noteholder as a debtholder of Enbridge shall automatically cease. At the Conversion Time, Noteholders will receive one Conversion Preference Share for each US$1,000 principal amount of Notes held immediately prior to the Automatic Conversion together with the number of Conversion Preference Shares (including fractional shares, if applicable) calculated by dividing the amount of accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes by US$1,000.
