The Toronto Stock Exchange reports that MAK Acquisition Corp.'s Class A restricted voting units (symbol MAK.V) will be delisted at the open on Dec. 8, 2025, as a result of their separation into Class A restricted voting shares and share purchase warrants of the company. According to the TSX, the Class A shares and warrants of the company will be listed and posted for trading at the open on Dec. 8, 2025, under the symbol MAK.U and Cusip No. G5SYG6 10 7, and the symbol MAK.WT.U and Cusip No. G5SYG6 11 5, respectively. There will be 10 million Class A shares and 5,094,500 warrants issued and outstanding, and 5,094,500 Class A shares reserved for issuance. The securities will trade in U.S. dollars and the temporary market-maker is CIBC World Markets Inc.
Principal terms of the Class A shares
The TSX reports that although the holders of the Class A shares may not vote
on the qualifying acquisition, they are entitled to vote on and receive notice of meetings on all matters requiring
shareholder approval pursuant to applicable law
(including any proposed extension to the permitted
timeline) other than, among other things, the election
and/or removal of directors and/or auditors. The holders
of the Class A shares are also expected to vote in
respect of the issuance of the multiple voting shares
upon the conversion of the Class B shares. In lieu of
holding an annual meeting, the company is required to
provide an annual update on the status of identifying and
securing a qualifying acquisition by way of a news release
and to file an annual information form, and the company
expects to note the filing of its annual information form in
its annual update news release. However, if the
company determines to issue a stand-alone news release in respect of its annual update, it would not
separately issue a press release announcing the filing of
its annual information form.
As 100.5 per cent of the gross proceeds of the offering and any
additional equity raised pursuant to a rights offering will
be held by the escrow agent in the escrow account,
shareholder approval of the qualifying acquisition is not
required pursuant to TSX rules. As such, and unless shareholder approval is
otherwise required under applicable law, the company
will: (i) prepare and file with applicable securities
regulatory authorities a prospectus containing disclosure
regarding the company and its proposed qualifying
acquisition; (ii) mail a notice of redemption to the holders
of the Class A shares and make the final prospectus
publicly available at least 21 days prior to the deadline
for redemption; and (iii) send by prepaid mail or
otherwise deliver the prospectus to the holders of the
Class A shares no later than 12 a.m. Toronto time on
the second business day prior to the deadline for
redemption, which delivery may be effected
electronically in compliance with National Policy 11-201.
The company will provide holders of the Class A shares
with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their
Class A shares, for an amount per share, payable in
cash, equal to the pro rata portion of the escrowed funds
available in the escrow account, including any interest
and other amounts earned thereon, less certain amounts and subject to certain restrictions as more fully disclosed
in the prospectus: (i) in the event a qualifying acquisition
does not occur within the permitted timeline; (ii) in the
event of a qualifying acquisition; and (iii) in the event of
an extension to the permitted timeline.
Notwithstanding the foregoing redemption rights, each
holder of Class A shares, together with any affiliate of
such holder or other person with whom such holder or
affiliate is acting jointly or in concert, will not be permitted
to redeem more than an aggregate of 15 per cent of the number
of Class A shares issued and outstanding. This limitation
will not apply in the event of a qualifying acquisition does
not occur within the permitted timeline or in the event of
an extension to the permitted timeline.
Upon closing of the qualifying acquisition, each Class A
share, unless previously redeemed, will be automatically
converted into one subordinate voting share, at which
time the Class A shares will be delisted and the
subordinate voting shares will be listed.
Principal terms of the warrants
The TSX reports that each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one
Class A share. The warrants will become exercisable,
at an exercise price of $11.50 (U.S.) per share, commencing
65 days after the completion of the qualifying
acquisition. As the Class A shares will have been
automatically converted into subordinate voting shares,
each whole warrant will then be exercisable for one
subordinate voting share.
The warrants will expire at 5 p.m. Toronto time on the day that is five years after
the completion of the qualifying acquisition, subject to an
acceleration clause. If the expiry date is accelerated, the
company's board of directors will have the option to
require all holders that wish to exercise accelerated
warrants to do so, in whole or in part, on a cashless
basis. The warrants will expire worthless if a qualifying
acquisition does not occur within the permitted timeline.
