EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

The Plan of Arrangement of the petitioner named therein, dated September 11, 2014, was approved on October 10, 2014 by the Supreme Court of British Columbia.  This Amendment No. 1 to Form T-3, initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 17, 2014 (File No. 022-29000), is being filed on behalf of Terrace Energy Corp. to, among other things, file the Exhibit that is filed herewith.

 

GENERAL

 

1.                                      General Information.

 

(a)                                 Form of organization:  Terrace Energy Corp. (the “Issuer”) is a corporation.

 

(b)                                 State or other sovereign power under the laws of which organized: The Issuer is organized under the laws of the Province of British Columbia.

 

2.                                      Securities Act exemption applicable.

 

Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Plan of Arrangement dated September 11, 2014, the Issuer plans to effect an arrangement (the “Arrangement”) under the provisions of Division 5, Part 9 of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), S.B.C., 2002, c.57, as amended.  Pursuant to the Arrangement, the Issuer’s outstanding 8% convertible unsecured notes due April 2, 2018 (the “Old Notes”) will be exchanged for up to $38,640,000 aggregate principal amount of new convertible unsecured notes (the “New Notes”).

 

The New Notes will be issued under the indenture (the “Indenture”) to be qualified by this Application for Qualification (this “Application”). For more detailed information on the Indenture, see Item 8 of this Application.

 

The New Notes will be issued by the Issuer in reliance upon an exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), afforded by Section 3(a)(10) thereof. Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act provides an exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act for, in relevant part: “. . . any security which is issued in exchange for one or more bona fide outstanding securities, claims or property interests . . . where the terms and conditions of such issuance are approved, after a hearing upon the fairness of such terms and conditions at which all persons to whom it is proposed to issue securities in such exchange shall have the right to appear, by any court . . . .”

 

The three main elements of the Section 3(a)(10) exemption are: (a) an exchange of outstanding securities, claims or property interests, (b) a fairness hearing, and (c) court approval of the issuance and exchange. As described in the management information circular of the Issuer dated September 15, 2014 (the “Circular”), incorporated by reference herein as Exhibit T3E, each of these elements will be satisfied in connection with the issuance of the New Notes.

 

(a) Exchange of Securities: The New Notes will be issued in exchange for the Old Notes in the Arrangement.

 

(b) Fairness Hearing: At a fairness hearing held on October 10, 2014, the Supreme Court of British Columbia (the “Court”) considered, among other things, the fairness and reasonableness of the Arrangement to the holders of the Old Notes (the “Noteholders”). Any Noteholder or other interested party who wished to participate, or to be represented, or to present evidence or argument, had the opportunity to do so, subject to filing with the Court and serving upon the solicitors of the Issuer a notice of appearance and satisfying any other requirements of the Court.

 

(c) Court Approval: The Court approved the Arrangement on October 10, 2014. The Court was advised that its ruling will be the basis for claiming an exemption from registration under the Securities Act by reason of the exemption afforded by Section 3(a)(10) thereof.

Plan permits the Issuer to issue options equal in number to up to 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Issuer at the time of grant.  Options do not confer on the holder any right to vote at a meeting of the Issuer’s shareholders.

In the absence of a change of control transaction or other acceleration of vesting by the Issuer’s board of directors, unvested RSUs will expire five years from the date of grant. Vested RSUs will be settled, at the election of the Issuer, by way of: (i) issuance of common shares of the Issuer from treasury; (ii) payment to the RSU holder of an amount of cash equal to the market price of the common shares of the Issuer on the vesting date; or (iii) any combination thereof.

INDENTURE SECURITIES

 

8.                                      Analysis of Indenture Provisions.

 

The New Notes will be issued under the Indenture, to be dated as of the effective date of the Arrangement, among the Issuer, Computershare Trust Company of Canada, as trustee (the “Trustee”), and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as U.S. co-trustee (the “U.S. Trustee”). The following is a general description of certain provisions of the Indenture, and the description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of Indenture filed as Exhibit T3C hereto. All capitalized and otherwise undefined terms shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Indenture.

 

(A)                               Events of Defaults; Withholding of Notice.

 

The following events will be defined in the Indenture as “Events of Default” with respect to the New Notes:

 

i.                  the Issuer fails to make an interest payment on or before the cure deadline in respect of two consecutive interest payment dates;

 

ii.               the Issuer defaults in the payment of any principal on the New Notes when the same becomes due and payable, whether at maturity or any other date fixed for prepayment pursuant to the terms of the New Notes and the Indenture;

 

iii.            the Issuer defaults in the performance of or compliance with any term, condition or covenant contained in the New Notes or Indenture and such default shall not have been remedied and the Issuer shall not have taken timely steps to diligently remedy such default within thirty days after such failure shall first have become known to any officer of the Issuer or written notice thereof shall have been received by the Issuer;

 

iv.           any representation or warranty of the Issuer made in writing by or on behalf of the Issuer in the New Notes or the Indenture shall prove to have been false or incorrect in any material respect on the date as of which made;

 

v.              the Issuer (i) files, or consents by answer or otherwise to the filing against it of, a petition for relief or reorganization or arrangement or any other petition in bankruptcy, for liquidation or otherwise takes advantage of any bankruptcy or insolvency law of any jurisdiction, (ii) makes an assignment, an arrangement or a compromise for the benefit of its creditors, (iii) consents to the appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee or other officer with similar powers of itself or of any substantial part of its property, or (iv) takes corporate action for the purpose of any of the foregoing; and

 

vi.           a court or governmental authority of competent jurisdiction enters a final order appointing, without the consent of the Issuer, a custodian, receiver, trustee or other officer with similar powers with respect to it or with respect to any substantial part of its property, or a final order for relief is entered in any case or proceeding for liquidation or reorganization or otherwise to take advantage of any bankruptcy or insolvency law of any jurisdiction, or ordering the dissolution, winding-up or liquidation of the Issuer, or any petition for any such relief is filed against the Issuer and such petition is not dismissed within ninety days.

In each and every such event, the Trustee may, in its discretion, but subject to the provisions of the Indenture, and shall, upon prior funding and indemnity and receipt of a request in writing signed by the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the New Notes then outstanding, subject to the provisions of the Indenture, declare the principal of, premium, if any, on and interest on all New Notes then outstanding and all other monies outstanding under the Indenture to be due and payable and the same will become immediately due and payable to the Trustee, and the Issuer will pay to the Trustee for the benefit of the holders of the New Notes such principal (and premium, if any), accrued and unpaid interest and interest on amounts in default on such New Notes (and, where such a declaration is based upon a voluntary winding-up or liquidation of the Issuer, the premium, if any, on the New Notes then outstanding which would have been payable upon the redemption thereof by the Issuer on the date of such declaration) and all other monies outstanding under the Indenture, together with subsequent interest at the rate borne by the New Notes on such principal (and premium, if any), interest and such other monies from the date of such declaration until payment is received by the Trustee, such subsequent interest to be payable at the times and places and in the monies mentioned in and according to the tenor of the New Notes.

 

Noteholders may not enforce the Indenture or the New Notes except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, holders of 662/3% of the principal amount of the then outstanding New Notes may direct or authorize the Trustee and the U.S. Trustee in their exercise of any power, right, remedy or authority given to them by the Indenture or to refrain from exercising any such power, right, remedy or authority, provided that such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with the Indenture, expose the U.S. Trustee to personal liability or be unduly prejudicial to the holders not joining therein. The Trustee may withhold from Noteholders notice of any continuing Event of Default if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest, except an Event of Default relating to the payment of principal or interest or unless the Trustee shall have been requested to give such notice by the holders of at least 25% of the principal amount of the New Notes then outstanding.

 

The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the New Notes then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the all of the Noteholders waive any existing Event of Default and its consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Event of Default in the payment of interest or the principal of, the New Notes.

 

(B)                               Authentication and Delivery of the Securities under the Indenture and Application of Proceeds Thereof.

 

Any New Notes issued under the Indenture in certificated form must be executed on behalf of the Issuer by a director or officer of the Issuer. The signature of any of the officers on the New Notes may be manual or facsimile. New Notes bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of an individual who was at any time the proper director or officer of the Issuer will bind the Issuer, notwithstanding that the individual has ceased to hold such office prior to the certification and delivery of such New Notes or did not hold such offices at the date of the New Notes. Each New Note will be dated as of the date of the closing of the Arrangement, or such other date or dates of issuance as provided in the Indenture.

 

No New Note shall be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose until it has been manually certified by or on behalf of the Trustee substantially in the form provided for in the Indenture, in the relevant supplemental indenture, or in some other form approved by the Trustee. Such certificate upon any New Note shall be conclusive evidence that such New Note is a valid obligation of the Issuer and the holder is entitled to the benefits thereof.

 

The Issuer will not recognize any proceeds from the issuance of New Notes in exchange for the Old Notes.

 

(C)                               Release of any Note Collateral Subject to the Lien of the Indenture.

 

None.  The New Notes are unsecured.

 

(D)                               Satisfaction and Discharge of the Indenture; Redemption of the Securities.

 

The Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect with respect to the New Notes when:

 

i.                  the Issuer has deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds or property in trust for the purpose of making payment on the New Notes, an amount in money or common shares, if applicable, sufficient to pay, satisfy and discharge the entire amount of principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any,

to maturity, or any repayment date or Redemption Dates, or any Change of Control Payment Date, or any Sale Payment Date, or upon conversion or otherwise as the case may be, of such New Notes;

 

ii.     the Issuer has deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust property in trust for the purpose of making payment on such Notes an amount in Canadian dollars of direct obligations of, or obligations the principal and interest of which are guaranteed by, the Government of Canada or common shares, if applicable, as will be sufficient to pay and discharge the entire amount of principal of, premium, if any on, and accrued and unpaid interest to maturity or any repayment date, as the case may be, of all such New Notes; or

 

iii.    all New Notes authenticated and delivered (other than (A) New Notes which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 2.9 of the Indenture and (B) New Notes for whose payment has been deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to the Issuer as provided in Section 8.3 of the Indenture) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation;

 

so long as in any such event:

 

iv.    the Issuer has paid, caused to be paid or made provisions to the satisfaction of the Trustee for the payment of all other sums payable or which may be payable with respect to all of such New Notes (together with all applicable expenses of the Trustee in connection with the payment of such New Notes) and all amounts due to the Trustee and the U.S. Trustee under the Indenture; and

 

v.     the Issuer has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that all conditions precedent herein provided relating to the payment, satisfaction and discharge of all such New Notes have been complied with.

 

(E)                               Evidence of Compliance with Conditions and Covenants.

 

The Issuer will be required to deliver to the Trustee and the U.S. Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each calendar year (and at any reasonable time upon demand by the Trustee), an Officers’ Certificate as to the knowledge of such officers of the Issuer who execute the Officers’ Certificate of the Issuer’s compliance with all conditions and covenants in the Indenture, certifying that after reasonable investigation and inquiry, the Issuer has complied with all covenants, conditions or other requirements contained in the Indenture, the non-compliance with which could, with the giving of notice, lapse of time or otherwise, constitute an Event of Default thereunder, or if such is not the case, setting forth with reasonable particulars the circumstances of any failure to comply and steps taken or proposed to be taken to eliminate such circumstances and remedy such Event of Default, as the case may be.

 

9.                                      Other Obligors.

 

None.

AND UPON READING the Petition herein, the Interim Order of Master Bouck, pronounced September 15, 2014, Affidavit #1 of William McCartney sworn September 11, 2014 and Affidavit #1 of Deborah Cotter sworn October 8, 2014;

 

AND UPON the requisite approval of the holders (the “Noteholders”) of the aggregate of $38,640,000 outstanding 8% convertible unsecured notes of the Petitioner due April

 



 

2, 2018, having been obtained at the special meeting of the Noteholders of the Petitioner held on October 8, 2014;

 

AND UPON IT APPEARING that adequate notice of the time and place of Hearing of this application was given to the Noteholders of the Petitioner;

 

AND UPON IT APPEARING that all Noteholders of the Petitioner had a right to appear and be heard at the Hearing and make submissions, and none did so;

AND UPON IT APPEARING that the terms and conditions of the Arrangement may properly be approved by this Honourable Court;

 

AND UPON BEING ADVISED by Counsel for the Petitioner that this Honourable Court’s approval of the Arrangement and its determination that the Arrangement is fair to the persons to be issued securities or to have securities made issuable to them pursuant to the Arrangement will serve as the basis of a claim to an exemption from the registration requirements of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Section 3(a)(10) thereof, regarding the issuance and exchange of unsecured convertible notes of the Petitioner to the Noteholders.

 

THIS COURT ORDERS AND DECLARES that:

 

1.                                                                                      pursuant to section 291(4)(c) of the Business Corporations Act, S.B.C. 2002, c. 57, as amended (the “BCBCA”), the Arrangement as provided for in the Plan of Arrangement attached hereto as Schedule “A”, including the terms and conditions thereof and the distributions, issuances, exchanges and/or adjustments of securities contemplated therein, is procedurally and substantively fair and reasonable to the Noteholders of the Petitioner;

4.5                               Interest and Principal Payments: No principal payment made after the Effective Time with respect to the New Notes after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the holder of any unsurrendered certificate that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, represented outstanding Old Notes unless and until the holder of such certificate shall have complied with the provisions of sections 4.1 and 4.2.  Subject to applicable law and section 4.6, at the time of such compliance, there shall, in addition to the delivery of the New Notes to which

 



 

such holder is thereby entitled, be delivered to such holder, without interest, the amount of the principal payment with a payment date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such New Notes.  Any and all interest payments made after the Effective Time and delivered to the holder of any unsurrendered certificate that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, represented outstanding Old Notes shall be, and shall be deemed to be, an interest payment with respect to the New Notes and no further or additional amounts in respect of interest payments made on or after the Effective Time and on or before the date of compliance with the provisions of section 4.1 and 4.2 shall be made or delivered to such holder upon delivery of the New Notes to which such holder is entitled.

Conversion Privilege

 

The New Notes will be convertible into fully paid and non-assessable common shares of the Issuer at the option of the holder thereof at any time prior to the earlier of 4:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) on the Maturity Date and 4:00 p.m (Vancouver time) on the last Business Day immediately preceding the date fixed for redemption specified by the Issuer for redemption of the New Notes at the conversion price in effect on the date of conversion, which shall be $2.00 per common share as of the date of issuance of the New Notes, subject to adjustment as provided in the Indenture (the “Conversion Price”). Holders converting their New Notes will receive accrued and unpaid interest thereon from the period of the last Interest Payment Date of their New Notes prior to the date of conversion to the date that is one day prior to the date of conversion.

 

 

 

Ranking

 

The New Notes are the Issuer’s unsecured obligations and are not guaranteed by any of its operating subsidiaries. Accordingly, the New Notes will rank:

 

·                  except as discussed below under “Certain Covenants,” effectively junior in right of payment to all of the Issuer’s and its subsidiaries existing and future secured indebtedness and all indebtedness and liabilities of the Issuer’s subsidiaries; and

 

·                  equal in right of payment with all of the Issuer’s existing and future unsecured indebtedness.

 

 

 

Redemption at the Option of the Issuer

 

The New Notes may be redeemed for cash in whole or in part from time to time at the option of the Issuer, except under certain circumstances in the event of a change of control of the Issuer or after a sale or other disposal of all or substantially all of the assets of the Issuer, on not more than 50 days and not less than 20 days prior notice at a price equal to:

 

·                  if the Issuer gives such notice before April 2, 2015, 108% of the par amount of the New Notes; or

 

·                  otherwise, at par,

 

and, in either case, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

 

 

 

Optional Common Share Redemption

 

If, prior to the Maturity Date, the closing price the Issuer’s common shares on the TSX Venture Exchange (or such other stock exchange or quotation system on which the Issuer’s common shares are then listed or quoted) (the “Exchange”) is equal to or greater than 140% of the Conversion Price for 30 consecutive trading days, the New Notes may be redeemed for common shares of the Issuer at the Conversion Price in whole or in part from time to time at the option of the Issuer on not less than 10 days prior notice; provided that the date of such notice is no later than five trading days following the last trading day of such 30 consecutive trading day period.

 



 

Certain Covenants

 

The Issuer will issue the New Notes under the Indenture, which, among other things, restricts its ability and the ability of its subsidiaries to, among other things, consolidate, amalgamate or merge with or into other companies or sell or transfer all or substantially all of its assets.

 

These limitations will be subject to a number of important qualifications and exceptions.

 

 

 

Change of Control

 

In the event that, prior to the Maturity Date, any person, together with its associates and affiliates (as defined in the Securities Act (British Columbia)) acquires more than 50% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Issuer, the Issuer will offer to repurchase the outstanding New Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount of the New Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase on the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture.

 

 

 

Offer on Sale of Assets

 

In certain circumstances, if the Issuer sells, transfers, leases, conveys, or otherwise disposes of all or substantially all of its properties and assets on a consolidated basis (a “Sale Transaction”) and it does not reinvest all or substantially all of the proceeds thereof in the business of the Company within 180 days of the closing date of such Sale Transaction, the Issuer will be required to offer to all of the outstanding New Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount of the New Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase.

 

 

 

Transfers

 

The New Notes will be transferrable, subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture and compliance with applicable securities laws and regulations.

 

 

 

Events of Default

 

If any of the following conditions or events with respect to the New Notes shall occur and be continuing:

 

·                  the Issuer fails to make an interest payment on or before the cure deadline in respect of two consecutive interest payment dates;

 

·                  the Issuer defaults in the payment of any principal on the New Notes when the same becomes due and payable, whether at maturity or any other date fixed for prepayment pursuant to the terms of the New Notes and the Indenture;

 

·                  the Issuer defaults in the performance of or compliance with any term, condition or covenant contained in the New Notes or Indenture and such default shall not have been remedied and the Issuer shall not have taken timely steps to diligently remedy such default within thirty days after such failure shall first have become known to any officer of the Issuer or written notice thereof shall have been received by the Issuer;

 

·                  any representation or warranty of the Issuer made in writing by or on behalf of the Issuer in the New Notes or the Indenture shall prove to have been false or incorrect in any material respect on the date as of which made;

·                  a court or governmental authority of competent jurisdiction enters a final order appointing, without the consent of the Issuer, a custodian, receiver, trustee or other officer with similar powers with respect to it or with respect to any substantial part of its property, or a final order for relief is entered in any case or proceeding for liquidation or reorganization or otherwise to take advantage of any bankruptcy or insolvency law of any jurisdiction, or ordering the dissolution, winding-up or liquidation of the Issuer, or any petition for any 

 

 



 

 

 

such relief is filed against the Issuer and such petition is not dismissed within ninety days;

 

then, and in any such event, the outstanding principal amount of and accrued interest on the New Notes shall become due and payable on the tenth day following the date that the Trustee gives the Issuer notice that, as a result of the event of default, the Trustee is requiring the Issuer to prepay the New Notes.

with respect to matters or questions arising hereunder, including the making of any modifications in the form of the New Notes which do not affect the substance thereof and which in the opinion of the Trustee relying on an opinion of counsel will not be prejudicial to the interests of the holders of New Notes;

 

·                  adding to the covenants of the Issuer contained in the Indenture for the protection of the holders of New Notes or providing for additional events of default;

No Active Trading Market

 

There is no active trading market for the New Notes. The Issuer intends to seek a listing of the New Notes on the TSX Venture Exchange. However, there can be no assurances such listing will be successfully obtained, and, even if listed, an active market may not develop for the New Notes. As a result, a liquid market for the New Notes may not be available if a holder tries to sell its New Notes.

 

 

 

Form of the New Notes

 

The New Notes will be issued in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. The New Notes will initially be issued in the form of one or more global notes and/or one or more definitive notes at the option of the Issuer. The global notes will be registered in the name of the depository which, as of the date hereof, shall be CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. (or any nominee of the depository). The definitive notes will be registered in the names of each holders thereof.
