News Release
Mr. David Heaberlin reports
A special meeting of shareholders will be held on or about Oct. 16 to approve a
plan for the distribution of cash to common shareholders. This plan will involve the
issuance of one common share and one redeemable preferred share for each
outstanding common share. The corporation intends to make application to the
Toronto Stock Exchange for the listing of the preferred shares, resulting in the
listing of both the common shares and the preferred shares. The corporation
anticipates using excess cash accumulated from the sale of properties in the
corporation's revenue property division (RPD) to periodically redeem the
redeemable preferred shares.
David Heaberlin, the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, stated, "The
decision to proceed with this plan is the result of an exhaustive process to
determine the most tax efficient method available to distribute the funds being
accumulated from the sale of our RPD portfolio to our shareholders."
The information circular for this special meeting is expected to be completed and
mailed on or about Sept. 10, 2001. The proposed transaction is subject to receipt
of all regulatory approvals prior to such mailing.
The corporation continues to expect the net proceeds from the sale of the revenue
properties portfolio (as discussed in the company's press release in Stockwatch
June 21, 2001) to approximate or exceed $29.2-million. The corporation
currently believes that the sale of all the RPD properties could be concluded as
early as Oct. 31, 2001.
The board of directors anticipates declaring an initial redeemable preferred share
redemption of at least $10-million (approximately 50 per cent of the corporation's
current market capitalization) following shareholder approval of this plan, with the
initial distribution anticipated to be concluded on or before Oct. 31, 2001.
