IC
Potash Corp. has released the results of the voting at its annual and
special meeting of shareholders held on June 30, 2015, in
Toronto, Ont., Canada, including the approval by shareholders of the
amendment of the warrants issued on Dec. 18, 2013, to insiders of the company to extend the expiry date of the
warrants from June 18, 2015, to Dec. 18, 2016. As
announced on May 7, 2015, the amendment with respect to warrants held by
non-insiders of the company became effective on May 22, 2015. No other
amendments to the warrants have been made by the company. In accordance
with the terms of the warrants, if, at any time the volume-weighted
average price of the common shares of the company on
the Toronto Stock Exchange is equal to or exceeds 50 cents for 20
consecutive trading days, the company may accelerate the expiry date of
the warrants, in which event the warrants will expire upon the date which is 30 days following the dissemination
of a press release by the company announcing the accelerated expiry date.
As of the date hereof, there are 10 million warrants issued and
outstanding. A total of 1.34 million (13.4 per cent) warrants is held by insiders of
the company, representing approximately 0.8 per cent of the issued and
outstanding common shares on a non-diluted basis. The warrants are
currently exercisable for common shares at an exercise price of 35
cents per common share. If all of the outstanding warrants were exercised on
the date hereof, the common shares issuable thereunder would represent
approximately 5.7 per cent of the issued and outstanding common shares on a
non-diluted basis.
The Toronto Stock Exchange required that shareholder approval be obtained to amend the
warrants held by insiders pursuant to Subsection 608 (b) of the TSX company manual. The company obtained shareholder approval (excluding
insiders of the company who hold warrants) of the resolutions approving
the amendment to the warrants held by insiders at the meeting. In
accordance with the terms of the warrants, the company has also obtained
the written consent to the amendment of the holders of 66-2/3 of the
warrants outstanding. The amendment is effective as of June 18, 2015.
At the meeting, all director nominees listed in the company's management
information circular dated June 6, 2015, were elected as directors of the company. The detailed results of the vote by ballot are as set out in the attached table.
