The Special Warrants entitle Leaton to receive 1,250,000 fully paid and non-assessable common shares in the capital of Regal and 625,000 common share purchase warrants within six business days after a receipt is issued by the Ontario Securities Commission for a final prospectus qualifying such common shares and warrants, or on June 23, 1999, whichever is earlier. Each common share purchase warrant entitles Leaton to acquire one common share in the capital of Regal at an exercise price of $0.20 per common share at any time on or before December 23, 1999. Regal presently has 10,563,643 common shares outstanding. As a result of this acquisition, Leaton owns 1,250,000 Special Warrants and, assuming conversion of the Special Warrants and the common share purchase warrants, on a fully diluted basis, Leaton will own 1,875,000 common shares, representing approximately 15.1 per cent of the outstanding common shares of Regal. The Special Warrants were purchased for investment purposes and Leaton does not have any present intention to acquire additional shares of Regal.
