ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS

 

This prospectus is part of a registration statement that we filed with the SEC (as defined below) utilizing a “shelf” registration process. Under this shelf process, we may sell the securities described in this prospectus in one or more offerings up to a total price to the public of $250.0 million. The offer and sale of securities under this prospectus may be made from time to time, in one or more offerings, in any manner described under the section in this prospectus entitled “Plan of Distribution.”

 

This prospectus provides you with a general description of the securities we may offer. Each time we sell securities we will provide a prospectus supplement that will contain specific information about the terms of that offering. The prospectus supplement may also add, update or change information contained in this prospectus, and may also contain information about any material federal income tax considerations relating to the securities covered by the prospectus supplement. You should read both this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement together with additional information under the headings “Where You Can Find More Information” and “Incorporation of Certain Documents by Reference.”

 

This summary may not contain all of the information that may be important to you. You should read this entire prospectus, including the financial statements and related notes and other financial data incorporated by reference in this prospectus, before making an investment decision. This summary contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause or contribute to such differences include those discussed in “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

 

Unless otherwise indicated, references in this registration statement to “Gold Royalty”, the “Company”, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to Gold Royalty Corp., a company incorporated under the laws of Canada, together with its subsidiaries unless the context requires otherwise. We express all amounts in this registration statement in U.S. dollars, except where otherwise indicated.

 

Unless the context otherwise requires, all references to:

 

●

“dollar”, “$” and “US$” are to U.S. dollars and references to “C$” are to Canadian dollars;

 

●

the “Securities Act” refers to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended;

 

●

the “Exchange Act” refers to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; and

 

●

the “SEC” refers to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

We report under IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. None of the financial statements incorporated by reference in this prospectus were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. We present our financial statements in U.S. dollars.

 

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING MINERAL RESERVES AND MINERAL RESOURCES

 

We are subject to the reporting requirements of the applicable Canadian and United States securities laws. The disclosure of scientific and technical information regarding the properties underlying our royalty and other interests contained in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the most recent year incorporated by reference herein, is presented in accordance with subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K (“SK1300”), which differs from the disclosure requirements set forth under Canadian Securities Administrators’ National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43- 101”).

 

In many cases, the owners and operators of the mineral properties underlying our royalty and other interests have disclosed scientific and technical information regarding such projects pursuant to NI 43-101 and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (“CIM”) – CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves (the “CIM Definition Standards”), adopted by the CIM Council, as amended, which differs from the requirements under SK1300. In addition, certain of the operators of the properties underlying our royalty and other interests prepare mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates in accordance with the 2012 Edition of the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (“JORC”), which differs from NI 43-101 and SK1300.

 

 

Under SK1300, the SEC recognizes estimates of “measured mineral resources”, “indicated mineral resources” and “inferred mineral resources”. In addition, the SEC has amended its definitions of “proven mineral reserves” and “probable mineral reserves” to be substantially similar to the corresponding CIM Definition Standards. U.S. shareholders are cautioned that while terms are substantially similar to CIM Definition Standards, there are differences in the definitions and standards under SK1300 and the CIM Definition Standards and JORC. Accordingly, there is no assurance that estimates of mineral resources and mineral reserves disclosed by the operators underlying our royalty and other interests under NI 43-101 or JORC or disclosed by us in our Canadian disclosure documents will be the same as the reserve or resource estimates prepared by U.S. companies under SK1300.

 

Readers should not assume that any part or all of the mineralization in the “measured mineral resources”, “indicated mineral resources” and “inferred mineral resources” categories will ever be converted into a higher category of mineral resources or into mineral reserves. Mineralization described using these terms has a greater amount of uncertainty as to their existence and feasibility than mineralization that has been characterized as reserves. Further, “inferred resources” have a greater amount of uncertainty as to their existence and as to whether they can be mined legally or economically. Therefore, U.S. shareholders are also cautioned not to assume that all or any part of the inferred resources exist.

 

TECHNICAL AND THIRD-PARTY INFORMATION

 

The disclosure contained or incorporated by reference herein respecting the projects underlying our royalty and other interests has been prepared in accordance with the exemption set forth in Items 1303(a)(3) and 1304(a)(2) of SK1300, in the U.S. and in Section 9.2 of NI 43-101, in Canada, and is based on information publicly disclosed by the owners and operators of such properties.

 

As a royalty holder, we have limited, if any, access to properties underlying the royalties included in our asset portfolio. Additionally, we may from time to time receive operating information from the owners and operators of the properties, which we are not permitted to disclose to the public. We are dependent on the operators of the properties to provide information to us or on publicly available information to prepare disclosure pertaining to properties and operations on the properties on which we hold interests and generally will have limited or no ability to independently verify such information. Although we do not have any knowledge that such information may not be accurate, there can be no assurance that such third-party information is complete or accurate.

 

We are relying on the exemption for royalty companies set forth Section 1302(b)(3)(ii) of SK1300, which provides that a stream, royalty or similar company is not required to file a technical report summary with the SEC with respect to an underlying property where either (a) obtaining the information would result in an unreasonable burden or expense, or (b) the technical report summary has been requested from the applicable owner, operator or other person possessing the technical report summary, who is not affiliated with the registrant, and who denied the request. The summary and individual mineral property disclosures contained herein are also provided in accordance with Sections 1303(a)(3) and 1304(a)(2) of SK1300, respectively, which provide that a registrant with a stream, royalty or other similar right may omit certain information required by the summary and individual property disclosure requirements if the registrant specifies the information to which it lacks access, explains the reason it lacks the required information and provides all required information that it does possess or which it can acquire without incurring an unreasonable burden or expense.

 

The scientific and technical information contained or incorporated herein relating to our royalty and other interests has been reviewed and approved by Alastair Still, P.Geo., who is our Director of Technical Services and a qualified person as such term is defined under NI 43-101 and SK1300.

 

We obtained certain statistical data, market data and other industry data and forecasts used or incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement from publicly available information. While we believe that the statistical data, industry data, forecasts and market research are reliable, we have not independently verified the data, and do not make any representation as to the accuracy of the information.

 

 

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This prospectus, including the information incorporated by reference into this prospectus, contains, and any prospectus supplement may include, forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act and may constitute “forward-looking information” and “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws (collectively, “forward-looking statements”). Forward-looking statements include statements that may relate to our plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events, future revenue or performance, capital expenditures, financing needs and other information that is not historical information. Forward-looking statements can often be identified by the use of terminology such as “subject to”, “believe”, “anticipate”, “plan”, “target”, “expect”, “intend”, “estimate”, “project”, “outlook”, “may”, “will”, “should”, “would”, “could”, “can”, the negatives thereof, variations thereon and similar expressions, or by discussions of strategy. In addition, any statements that refer to expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives, performance or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking. In particular, forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about:

 

●

our plans and objectives, including its acquisition and growth strategy;

 

●

our future financial and operational performance, including expectations regarding projected future revenues;

 

●

royalty and other payments to be made to us by the owners and operators of the projects underlying our royalties and other interests;

 

●

expectations regarding our royalty and other interests;

 

●

the plans of the operators of properties where we own or may acquire royalty interests;

 

●

estimates of mineral reserves and mineral resources on the projects in which we hold royalty interests;

 

●

estimates regarding future revenue, expenses and needs for additional financing; and

 

●

adequacy of capital and financing needs.

 

These forward-looking statements are based on our opinions, estimates and assumptions in light of our experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other assumptions that we currently believe are appropriate and reasonable in the circumstances, including that:

 

●

the public disclosures of the operators regarding the properties underlying our interests are accurate, including that such operators will meet their disclosed production targets and expectations;

 

●

current gold, base metal and other commodity prices will be sustained, or will improve;

 

●

the proposed development of the projects underlying our royalties and other interests will be viable operationally and economically and will proceed as expected;

 

●

any additional financing required by us will be available on reasonable terms; and

 

●

operators of the properties where we hold royalties and other interests will not experience any material accident, labor dispute or failure of equipment.

 

Despite a careful process to prepare and review the forward-looking statements, there can be no assurance that the underlying opinions, estimates and assumptions will prove to be correct.

 

Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of the following risk factors, among others:

 

●

we own passive interests in mining properties, and it is difficult or impossible for us to ensure properties are developed or operated in our best interest;

 

●

a substantial majority of our royalty and other interests are on non-producing properties, which may never achieve production;

 

●

our revenue is subject to volatility in gold and other commodity prices;

 

●

the volatility in gold and other commodity prices may have an adverse impact on the value of our royalty and similar interests and on the payments we receive thereunder in the future;

 

●

we have limited or no access to data or the operations underlying our interests;

 

●

a significant portion of our revenues is derived from a small number of operating properties;

 

●

the value and potential revenue from our royalty interests are subject to many of the risks faced by owners and operators of the properties underlying our interests;

 

●

our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected by market and economic conditions;

 

●

we may enter into acquisitions or other material transactions at any time;

 

 

●

current and future indebtedness could adversely affect our financial condition and impair our ability to operate our business;

 

●

we may require additional financing in the future to fund our growth strategy and maintain our operations;

 

●

our future growth is to a large extent dependent on our acquisition strategy;

 

●

our business and revenues could be adversely affected by problems concerning the existence, validity, enforceability, terms or geographic extent of our royalty interests, and our interests may similarly be materially and adversely impacted by change of control, bankruptcy or the insolvency of operators;

 

●

if title to mining claims, concessions, licenses, leases or other forms of tenure is not properly maintained by the operators, or is successfully challenged by third parties, our existing royalty interests could be found to be invalid;

 

●

operators may interpret our existing or future royalty or other interests in a manner adverse to us or otherwise may not abide by their contractual obligations, and we could be forced to take legal action to enforce our contractual rights;

 

●

certain of our royalty interests are subject to buy-back or other rights of third parties;

 

●

mine development and operation are capital intensive and any inability of the operators of the properties underlying our existing or future interests to meet their liquidity needs may adversely affect the value of, and revenue from, such interests;

 

●

estimates of mineral resources and mineral reserves disclosed by the owners and operators of the properties underlying our royalty and other interests may be subject to significant revision;

 

●

depleted mineral reserves may not be replenished by the operators of the properties underlying our royalty and other interests;

 

●

we may enter into transactions with related parties and such transactions present potential conflicts of interests;

 

●

regulations and political or economic developments in any of the jurisdictions where the properties in which we hold or may hold royalties, streams or similar interests are located;

 

●

opposition from Indigenous peoples may adversely impact the projects underlying our interests;

 

●

environmental risks in the jurisdictions where projects underlying our interests are located;

 

●

our operations and those of the owners and operators of the properties underlying our royalty and other interests may be negatively impacted by the effects of the spread of illnesses or other public health emergencies;

 

●

our dependence on key management personnel;

 

●

certain of our directors and officers also serve as directors and officers of other companies in the mining sector, which may cause them to have conflicts of interest;

 

●

we hold investments in a concentrated number of equity securities and the fair values thereof are subject to loss in value;

 

●

a significant disruption to our information technology systems or those of our third-party service providers could adversely affect our business and operating results;

 

●

potential litigation affecting the properties that we have royalty interests in could have a material adverse effect on us;

 

●

we may use certain financial instruments that are subject to a number or inherent risks; and

 

●

the other factors discussed under “Item 3. Key Information – D. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the most recent year incorporated by reference herein, and other disclosure documents, which are available under our profile at www.sedarplus.ca and www.sec.gov.

 

This list of factors should not be construed as exhaustive. The Company does not intend to and does not assume any obligations to update forward-looking statements, except as required by applicable law.

 

The forward-looking statements made in this prospectus or any prospectus supplement, or the information incorporated by reference herein relate only to events or information as of the date on which the statements are made in such document. Except as required by U.S. federal securities law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, after the date on which the statements are made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. You should read this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement, and the information incorporated by reference herein, along with any exhibits thereto, completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. Other sections of this prospectus, prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated by reference herein include additional factors which could adversely impact our business and financial performance.

 

 

 

 

RISK FACTORS

 

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully review the risks and uncertainties discussed below and described under the heading “Risk Factors” contained in any applicable prospectus supplement and under similar headings in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the most recent year incorporated by reference herein, as updated by our subsequent filings, some of which are incorporated by reference into this prospectus, before deciding whether to purchase any of the securities being registered pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. Each of the risk factors could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows, as well as adversely affect the value of an investment in our securities, and the occurrence of any of these risks might cause you to lose all or part of your investment. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial may also significantly impair our business operations. For more information, see “Where You Can Find More Information” and “Incorporation of Certain Documents by Reference.”

 

CAPITALIZATION AND INDEBTEDNESS

 

The following table sets forth our total capitalization as of March 31, 2024:

 

●

on an actual basis; and

 

●

on a pro forma basis to reflect (i) the issuance and sale of 20,058,300 units at a public offering price of $1.72 per unit in connection with bought deal financing completed on May 31, 2024 (the “Bought Deal”); (ii) the issuance and sale of 2,906,977 common shares at a deemed price of $1.72 per share as partial consideration of the purchase price of a copper stream in respect of certain areas at Vareš Silver Project located in Bosnia and Herzegovina acquired by the Company on June 4, 2024; (iii) 40,488 common shares in connection with the vesting of restricted share units and settlement of options; (iv) 8,000 common shares to a vendor for services; and (v) 167,597 common shares in connection with interest payments on our outstanding convertible debentures.

 

The amounts shown below are unaudited. The information set forth in the following table should be read in conjunction with and is qualified in its entirety by reference to our unaudited financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2024, in our report on Form 6-K filed with the SEC on May 13, 2024, which is incorporated by reference in this prospectus.

 

(In thousands)		Actual				Pro Forma
Total debt		$	33,015			$	33,015
Common shares, without par value			556,687				596,573
Reserves			34,560				34,560
Accumulated deficit			(71,221	)			(71,221	)
Accumulated other comprehensive income			326				326
Total shareholders’ equity		$	520,352			$	560,238
Total capitalization and indebtedness		$	553,367			$	593,253

 

The foregoing table and calculations are based on 145,887,717 common shares outstanding as of March 31, 2024, and excludes, in each case as of March 31, 2024:

 

●

7,766,211 common shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options to purchase common shares with a weighted average exercise price of $3.31 per share;

 

●

2,010,922 common shares issuable upon the vesting of outstanding restricted share units;

 

●

595,350 common shares issuable upon the exercise of 2,430,000 outstanding warrants of Ely Gold Royalties Inc., each such warrant representing the right to acquire, on valid exercise thereof (including payment of the applicable exercise price), 0.2450 of a common share plus C$0.0001, with a weighted average exercise price of C$4.59 per share;

 

●

up to 22,857,143 common shares issuable upon the conversion of outstanding unsecured convertible debentures at maturity and common shares issuable in respect of interest settlement in equity, in the aggregate amount of up to $6,000,000;

 

●

4,811,638 common shares that remain reserved for future issuance under our 2021 Long-Term Incentive Plan; and

 

●

20,058,300 common shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants forming part of units sold in connection with the Bought Deal.

 

 

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

The use of proceeds from the sale of securities will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement relating to a specific offering and sale of securities. Among other potential uses, the Company may use the net proceeds from the sale of securities offered by the Company hereunder for implementing our growth and acquisition strategy, including the direct and indirect acquisition of additional royalties, streams or similar interests and for general corporate purposes, including funding ongoing operations and/or working capital requirements and to repay indebtedness outstanding from time to time.

 

We had no positive operating cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2023, and the three months ended March 31, 2024. If we continue to have no positive cash flow into the future, net proceeds of a sale of securities may need to be allocated to fund our operations. We anticipate we will have negative cash flow from operating activities in future periods until such time as the properties underlying our existing royalties or other future interests generate revenues. Future cash flows from such interests are dependent upon the underlying properties achieving production. There can be no assurance that such production will ever be achieved.

 

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

 

The descriptions of the securities contained in this prospectus, together with the applicable prospectus supplements, summarize the material terms and provisions of the various types of securities that we may offer. We will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement the particular terms of any securities offered by such prospectus supplement. If we so indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement, the terms of the securities may differ from the terms we have summarized below.

 

We may sell from time to time, in one or more offerings, common shares, preferred shares, debt securities, subscription receipts, warrants and units comprising any combination of these securities. The total dollar amount of all securities that we may issue under this prospectus will not exceed $250.0 million.

 

DESCRIPTION OF SHARE CAPITAL

 

The following describes our issued share capital and summarizes the material provisions of our articles of incorporation (the “Articles”) and bylaws (the “Bylaws”). Please note that this summary is not intended to be exhaustive and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the terms and provisions of our Articles and Bylaws. For further information, please refer to the full version of our Articles and Bylaws.

 

General

 

The authorized capital of the Company consists of an unlimited number of common shares and an unlimited number of preferred shares.

 

Common Shares

 

Our common shares are not subject to any future call or assessment, do not have any pre-emptive, conversion, redemption rights or purchase for cancellation rights, and all have equal voting rights. There are no special rights or restrictions of any nature attached to any of the common shares, all of which rank equally as to all benefits which might accrue to the holders of the common shares. All shareholders of the Company are entitled to receive a notice of, attend and vote at any meeting to be convened by the Company. At any meeting, subject to the restrictions on joint registered owners of our common shares, every shareholder has one vote for each common share of which such holder is the registered owner. Voting rights may be exercised in person or by proxy.

 

Shareholders are entitled to share pro rata in any dividends if, as and when declared by the Company’s board of directors, in its discretion. Upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of common shares, without preference or distinction, will be entitled to receive ratably all of our assets remaining after payment of all debts and other liabilities, subject to any preferential rights of the holders of any outstanding preferred shares. Rights pertaining to the common shares may only be amended in accordance with applicable corporate law.

 

As of July 15, 2024, the Company has an aggregate of 169,069,079 common shares issued and outstanding.

 

 

Dividend Policy

 

On January 18, 2022, our board of directors approved the initiation of a quarterly dividend program. The dividend program contemplated quarterly dividends, the declaration, timing, amount and payment of which were subject to the discretion and approval of our board of directors based on relevant factors, including, among others, our financial condition and capital allocation plans.

 

Our board of directors suspended dividends under our dividend program in connection with our completion of a royalty acquisition on August 30, 2023, in order to focus capital on executing our strategic priority of growing cash flow and net asset value per share through accretive acquisitions. See “Item 5. – Operating and Financial Review and Prospects” of our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the financial year ended December 31, 2023, for further information on our dividend policy and payments made in the financial year ended December 31, 2023.

 

Preferred Shares

 

The preferred shares may be issued at any time, or from time to time, in one or more series. Before any preferred shares of a particular series are issued, our board of directors shall, by resolution, fix the number of preferred shares that will form such series and shall, by resolution, fix the designation, rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions to be attached to the preferred shares of such series. The preferred shares of each series shall rank on a parity with the preferred shares of every other series with respect to priority in payment of dividends and in the distribution of assets in the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company or other distribution of assets of the Company among its security holders, for the purpose of winding-up of its affairs.

 

The preferred shares shall be entitled to preference over the common shares and any other shares of the Company ranking junior to the preferred shares with respect to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets in the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, or any other distribution of the assets of the Company among its shareholders for the purpose of winding-up its affairs. The preferred shares may also be given such other preferences over the common shares and any other shares of the Company ranking junior to the preferred shares as may be fixed by our board of directors as to the respective series authorized to be issued.

 

As of the date hereof, the Company has no preferred shares issued and outstanding.

 

Shareholder Meetings

 

Under the CBCA, we are required to hold a general meeting of our shareholders at least once every year at a time and place determined by our board of directors, provided that the meeting must not be held later than 15 months after the preceding annual general meeting and no later than six months after the end of our preceding financial year. Our Articles and Bylaws provide that any shareholder meeting may be held at any location within Canada or the United States, as the board of directors may determine in their discretion. The board of directors may decide to arrange for shareholders to be able to participate in the general meeting by means of telephonic, electronic or other communication facility that permits all participants to communicate adequately with each other during the meeting. A notice to convene a meeting, specifying the date, time and location of the meeting, must be sent to shareholders, to each director and the auditor not less than 21 days prior to the meeting or such other minimum period as required by the applicable securities laws.

 

All business transacted at a special meeting of shareholders and all business transacted at an annual meeting of shareholders, except consideration of the financial statements, auditor’s report, election of directors and re-appointment of the incumbent auditor, is deemed to be special business. Notice of a meeting of shareholders at which special business is to be transacted shall state (a) the nature of that business in sufficient detail to permit the shareholder to form a reasoned judgment thereon; and (b) the text of any special resolution to be submitted to the meeting.

 

Under the CBCA, our board of directors has the power at any time to call a special meeting of our shareholders. In addition, the holders of not less than 5% of our shares that carry the right to vote at a meeting sought to be held can also requisition our board of directors to call a meeting of our shareholders for the purposes stated in the requisition. If our board of directors does not call the meeting within 21 days after receiving the requisition, our shareholders can call the meeting and the expenses reasonably incurred by such shareholders in requisitioning, calling and holding the meeting must be reimbursed by us.

 

Those entitled to vote at a meeting are entitled to attend meetings of our shareholders. Every shareholder entitled to vote may appoint a proxyholder to attend the meeting in the manner and to the extent authorized and with the authority conferred by the proxy. Directors, auditors, legal counsels, secretary (if any), and any other persons invited by the chair of the meeting or with the consent of those at the meeting are entitled to attend any meeting of our shareholders but will not be counted in quorum or be entitled to vote at the meeting unless he or she or it is a shareholder or proxyholder entitled to vote at the meeting.

 

 

Shareholder Nominations and Proposals

 

Under the CBCA, a registered holder or beneficial owner of shares that are entitled to be voted at an annual meeting of shareholders may submit to the corporation notice of any matter that the person proposes to raise at the meeting (a “proposal”), which is subject to any requirements in the Bylaws for advance notice to the corporation. A proposal may include nominations for the election of directors if the proposal is signed by one or more holders of shares representing in the aggregate not less than five per cent of the issued and outstanding shares or five per cent of the issued and outstanding shares of a class of shares of the corporation entitled to vote at the meeting to which the proposal is to be presented, but this subsection does not preclude nominations made at a meeting of shareholders.

 

Advance Notice Provisions

 

Our Bylaws contain certain provisions that are intended to: (1) facilitate orderly and efficient annual general meetings or, where the need arises, special meetings; (2) ensure that all shareholders receive adequate notice of board nominations and sufficient information with respect to all nominees; and (3) allow shareholders to vote on an informed basis. Only persons who are nominated by shareholders in accordance with these advance notice provisions will be eligible for election as directors at any annual meeting of the Company’s shareholders, or at any special meeting of the Company’s shareholders if one of the purposes for which the special meeting was called was the election of directors.

 

Pursuant to the advanced notice provisions under our Bylaws, shareholders are required to provide the Company with advance notice of their intention to nominate any persons, other than those nominated by management, for election to the Company’s board of directors at a meeting of shareholders. Such notice must include the information prescribed in our Bylaws.

 

To be timely, a shareholder’s notice must be received (i) in the case of an annual meeting of shareholders, not less than the 30th day prior to the date of the annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the annual meeting of shareholders is to be held on a date that is less than 50 days after the date on which the first public announcement of the date of the annual meeting was made, notice by the shareholder may be received not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the date of such public announcement; and (ii) in the case of a special meeting (which is not also an annual meeting) of shareholders called for the purpose of electing directors, not later than the close of business on the 15th day following the day on which the first public announcement of the date of the special meeting was made. Our Bylaws also prescribe the proper written form for a shareholder’s notice. The Company’s board of directors may, in its sole discretion, waive any requirement under these provisions.

 

These provisions could have the effect of delaying until the next shareholder meeting the nomination of certain persons for director that are favored by the holders of a majority of the Company’s outstanding voting securities.

 

Shareholder Actions by Written Consent

 

Under the CBCA, shareholders may act by written resolution signed by all the shareholders entitled to vote on that resolution at a meeting of shareholders.

 

Amendment to Articles and Bylaws

 

Under the CBCA, either a director or a shareholder entitled to vote at an annual or special meeting of shareholders may make a proposal to amend the Articles. A proposed amendment to the Articles requires approval by special resolution of the shareholders. A special resolution is a resolution passed by not less than two-thirds of the votes cast by the shareholders who voted in respect of the resolution or signed by all shareholders entitled to vote on that resolution.

 

Under the CBCA, a shareholder entitled to vote at an annual or special meeting of shareholders may make a proposal to make, amend or repeal a by-law. Unless the Articles, Bylaws or a unanimous shareholder agreement otherwise provide, the directors may, by resolution, make, amend or repeal any bylaws that regulate the business or affairs of the corporation. The directors shall then submit such by-law, or amendment or repeal of such by-law, to the shareholders at the next meeting of shareholders, and the shareholders may, confirm, reject or amend the bylaw, amendment or repeal by ordinary resolution.

 

Votes on Mergers, Consolidations and Sale of Assets

 

Under the CBCA, the approval of an amalgamation agreement and certain other transactions requires approval by special resolution. A special resolution is a resolution passed by not less than two-thirds of the votes cast by the shareholders who voted in respect of the resolution or signed by all shareholders entitled to vote on that resolution.

 

 

Forum Selection

 

Our Bylaws include a forum selection provision that provides that, unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Supreme Court of British Columbia, Canada and appellate Courts therefrom, will be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on the Company’s behalf; (ii) any action or proceeding asserting a breach of fiduciary duty owed by any of its directors, officers or other employees to the Company; (iii) any action or proceeding asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the CBCA or the Articles or Bylaws; or (iv) any action or proceeding asserting a claim otherwise related to the Company’s “affairs” (as defined in the CBCA). The Company’s forum selection bylaw also provides that its securityholders are deemed to have consented to personal jurisdiction in the Province of British Columbia and to service of process on their counsel in any foreign action initiated in violation of our Bylaws. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company’s forum selection provision will apply to claims arising under U.S. federal securities laws. In addition, investors cannot waive compliance with U.S. federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.

DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES

 

The following description, together with the additional information we include in any applicable prospectus supplements, summarizes the material terms and provisions of the debt securities that we may offer under this prospectus. While the terms we have summarized below will apply generally to any future debt securities we may offer pursuant to this prospectus, we will describe the particular terms of any debt securities that we may offer in more detail in the applicable prospectus supplement. If we so indicate in a prospectus supplement, the terms of any debt securities offered under such prospectus supplement may differ from the terms we describe below, and to the extent the terms set forth in a prospectus supplement differ from the terms described below, the terms set forth in the prospectus supplement shall control.

 

We may sell from time to time, in one or more offerings under this prospectus, debt securities, which may be senior or subordinated. We will issue any such senior debt securities under a senior indenture that we will enter into with a trustee to be named in the senior indenture. We will issue any such subordinated debt securities under a subordinated indenture, which we will enter into with a trustee to be named in the subordinated indenture. We have filed forms of these documents as exhibits to the registration statement, of which this prospectus is a part. We use the term “indentures” to refer to either the senior indenture or the subordinated indenture, as applicable. The indentures will be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as in effect on the date of the indenture. We use the term “debenture trustee” to refer to either the trustee under the senior indenture or the trustee under the subordinated indenture, as applicable.

 

The following summaries of material provisions of the senior debt securities, the subordinated debt securities and the indentures are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the indenture applicable to a particular series of debt securities.

 

General

 

Each indenture provides that debt securities may be issued from time to time in one or more series and may be denominated and payable in foreign currencies or units based on or relating to foreign currencies. Neither indenture limits the amount of debt securities that may be issued thereunder, and each indenture provides that the specific terms of any series of debt securities shall be set forth in, or determined pursuant to, an authorizing resolution and/or a supplemental indenture, if any, relating to such series.

 

We will describe in each prospectus supplement the following terms relating to a series of debt securities:

 

●

title or designation;

 

●

the aggregate principal amount and any limit on the amount that may be issued;

 

 

●

the currency or units based on or relating to currencies in which debt securities of such series are denominated and the currency or units in which principal or interest or both will or may be payable;

 

●

whether we will issue the series of debt securities in global form, the terms of any global securities and who the depositary will be;

 

●

the maturity date and the date or dates on which principal will be payable;

 

●

the interest rate, which may be fixed or variable, or the method for determining the rate and the date interest will begin to accrue, the date or dates interest will be payable and the record dates for interest payment dates or the method for determining such dates;

 

●

whether or not the debt securities will be issued at a premium;

 

●

whether or not the debt securities will be secured or unsecured, and the terms of any secured debt;

 

●

the terms of the subordination of any series of subordinated debt;

 

●

the place or places where payments will be payable;

 

●

our right, if any, to defer payment of interest and the maximum length of any such deferral period;

 

●

the date, if any, after which, and the price at which, we may, at our option, redeem the series of debt securities pursuant to any optional redemption provisions (which redemption may be subject to one or more conditions precedent);

 

●

the date, if any, on which, and the price at which we are obligated, pursuant to any mandatory sinking fund provisions or otherwise, to redeem, or at the holder’s option to purchase, the series of debt securities;

 

●

whether the indenture will restrict our ability to pay dividends, or will require us to maintain any asset ratios or reserves;

 

●

the name of the trustee under any indenture relating to the debt securities and the nature of any material relationship between the trustee or any of its affiliates and the issuer or any of its affiliates;

 

●

whether we will be restricted from incurring any additional indebtedness;

 

●

a discussion of any material or special Canadian or U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to a series of debt securities;

 

●

the denominations in which we will issue the series of debt securities, if other than denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof; and

 

●

any other specific terms, preferences, rights or limitations of, or restrictions on, the debt securities. We may issue debt securities that provide for an amount less than their stated principal amount to be due and payable upon declaration of acceleration of their maturity pursuant to the terms of the indenture. We will provide you with information on the federal income tax considerations and other special considerations applicable to any of these debt securities in the applicable prospectus supplement.

 

Conversion or Exchange Rights

 

We will set forth in the prospectus supplement the terms, if any, on which a series of debt securities may be convertible into or exchangeable for our common shares or our other securities. We will include provisions as to whether conversion or exchange is mandatory, at the option of the holder or at our option. We may include provisions pursuant to which the number of common shares or our other securities that the holders of the series of debt securities receive would be subject to adjustment.

 

Consolidation, Merger or Sale; No Protection in Event of a Change of Control or Highly Leveraged Transaction

 

The indentures do not contain any covenant that restricts our ability to merge or consolidate, or sell, convey, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets. However, any successor to or acquirer of such assets must assume all of our obligations under the indentures or the debt securities, as appropriate.

 

 

Unless we state otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, the debt securities will not contain any provisions that may afford holders of the debt securities protection in the event we have a change of control or in the event of a highly leveraged transaction (whether or not such transaction results in a change of control), which could adversely affect holders of debt securities.

 

Events of Default Under the Indenture

 

The following are events of default under the indentures with respect to any series of debt securities that we may issue:

 

●

if we fail to pay interest when due and our failure continues for 90 days and the time for payment has not been extended or deferred;

 

●

if we fail to pay the principal, or premium, if any, when due and the time for payment has not been extended or delayed;

 

●

if we fail to observe or perform any other covenant set forth in the debt securities of such series or the applicable indentures, other than a covenant specifically relating to and for the benefit of holders of another series of debt securities, and our failure continues for 90 days after we receive written notice from the debenture trustee or holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of the applicable series; and

 

●

if specified events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization occur as to us.

 

No event of default with respect to a particular series of debt securities (except as to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization) necessarily constitutes an event of default with respect to any other series of debt securities. The occurrence of an event of default may constitute an event of default under any bank credit agreements we may have in existence from time to time. In addition, the occurrence of certain events of default or an acceleration under the indenture may constitute an event of default under certain of our other indebtedness outstanding from time to time.

 

If an event of default with respect to debt securities of any series at the time outstanding occurs and is continuing, then the trustee or the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series may, by a notice in writing to us (and to the debenture trustee if given by the holders), declare to be due and payable immediately the principal (or, if the debt securities of that series are discount securities, that portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of that series) of and premium and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all debt securities of that series. Before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained with respect to debt securities of any series, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series (or, at a meeting of holders of such series at which a quorum is present, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the debt securities of such series represented at such meeting) may rescind and annul the acceleration if all events of default, other than the non-payment of accelerated principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, with respect to debt securities of that series, have been cured or waived as provided in the applicable indenture (including payments or deposits in respect of principal, premium or interest that had become due other than as a result of such acceleration). We refer you to the applicable prospectus supplement(s) relating to any series of debt securities that are discount securities for the particular provisions relating to acceleration of a portion of the principal amount of such discount securities upon the occurrence of an event of default.

 

Subject to the terms of the indentures, if an event of default under an indenture shall occur and be continuing, the debenture trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under such indenture at the request or direction of any of the holders of the applicable series of debt securities, unless such holders have offered the debenture trustee reasonable indemnity. The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the debenture trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the debenture trustee, with respect to the debt securities of that series, provided that:

 

●

the direction so given by the holder is not in conflict with any law or the applicable indenture; and

 

●

subject to its duties under the Trust Indenture Act, the debenture trustee need not take any action that might involve it in personal liability or might be unduly prejudicial to the holders not involved in the proceeding.

 

A holder of the debt securities of any series will only have the right to institute a proceeding under the indentures or to appoint a receiver or trustee, or to seek other remedies if:

 

●

these limitations do not apply to a suit instituted by a holder of debt securities if we default in the payment of the principal, premium, if any, or interest on the debt securities.

 

 

●

the holder previously has given written notice to the debenture trustee of a continuing event of default with respect to that series;

 

●

the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series have made written request, and such holders have offered reasonable indemnity to the debenture trustee to institute the proceeding as trustee; and

 

●

the debenture trustee does not institute the proceeding, and does not receive from the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series (or at a meeting of holders of such series at which a quorum is present, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the debt securities of such series represented at such meeting) other conflicting directions within 60 days after the notice, request and offer.

 

We will periodically file statements with the applicable debenture trustee regarding our compliance with specified covenants in the applicable indenture.

 

Modification of Indenture; Waiver

 

The debenture trustee and we may change the applicable indenture without the consent of any holders with respect to specific matters, including:

 

●

to fix any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency in the indenture; and

 

●

to change anything that does not materially adversely affect the interests of any holder of debt securities of any series issued pursuant to such indenture in any material respect.

 

In addition, under the indentures, the rights of holders of a series of debt securities may be changed by us and the debenture trustee with the written consent of the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of each series (or, at a meeting of holders of such series at which a quorum is present, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the debt securities of such series represented at such meeting) that is affected. However, the debenture trustee and we may make the following changes only with the consent of each holder of any outstanding debt securities affected:

 

●

extending the fixed maturity of the series of debt securities;

 

●

reducing the principal amount, reducing the rate of or extending the time of payment of interest, or any premium payable upon the redemption of any debt securities;

 

●

reducing the principal amount of discount securities payable upon acceleration of maturity;

 

●

making the principal of or premium or interest on any debt security payable in currency other than that stated in the debt security; or

 

●

reducing the percentage of debt securities, the holders of which are required to consent to any amendment or waiver.

 

Except for certain specified provisions, the holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series (or, at a meeting of holders of such series at which a quorum is present, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the debt securities of such series represented at such meeting) may on behalf of the holders of all debt securities of that series waive our compliance with provisions of the indenture. The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series may on behalf of the holders of all the debt securities of such series waive any past default under the indenture with respect to that series and its consequences, except a default in the payment of the principal of, premium or any interest on any debt security of that series or in respect of a covenant or provision, which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security of the series affected; provided, however, that the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from the acceleration.

 

 

Discharge

 

Each indenture provides that we can elect to be discharged from our obligations with respect to one or more series of debt securities, except for obligations to:

 

●

the transfer or exchange of debt securities of the series;

 

●

replace stolen, lost or mutilated debt securities of the series;

 

●

maintain paying agencies;

 

●

hold monies for payment in trust;

 

●

compensate and indemnify the trustee; and

 

●

appoint any successor trustee.

 

In order to exercise our rights to be discharged with respect to a series, we must deposit with the trustee money or government obligations sufficient to pay all the principal of, the premium, if any, and interest on, the debt securities of the series on the dates payments are due.

 

Form, Exchange and Transfer

 

We will issue the debt securities of each series only in fully registered form without coupons and, unless we otherwise specify in the applicable prospectus supplement, in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. The indentures provide that we may issue debt securities of a series in temporary or permanent global form and as book-entry securities that will be deposited with, or on behalf of, The Depository Trust Company or another depositary named by us and identified in a prospectus supplement with respect to that series.

 

At the option of the holder, subject to the terms of the indentures and the limitations applicable to global securities described in the applicable prospectus supplement, the holder of the debt securities of any series can exchange the debt securities for other debt securities of the same series, in any authorized denomination and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount.

 

Subject to the terms of the indentures and the limitations applicable to global securities set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement, holders of the debt securities may present the debt securities for exchange or for registration of transfer, duly endorsed or with the form of transfer endorsed thereon duly executed if so required by us or the security registrar, at the office of the security registrar or at the office of any transfer agent designated by us for this purpose. Unless otherwise provided in the debt securities that the holder presents for transfer or exchange or in the applicable indenture, we will make no service charge for any registration of transfer or exchange, but we may require payment of any taxes or other governmental charges.

 

We will name in the applicable prospectus supplement the security registrar, and any transfer agent in addition to the security registrar, that we initially designate for any debt securities. We may at any time designate additional transfer agents or rescind the designation of any transfer agent or approve a change in the office through which any transfer agent acts, except that we will be required to maintain a transfer agent in each place of payment for the debt securities of each series.

 

If we elect to redeem the debt securities of any series, we will not be required to:

 

●

issue, register the transfer of, or exchange any debt securities of that series during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of mailing of a notice of redemption of any debt securities that may be selected for redemption and ending at the close of business on the day of the mailing; or

 

●

register the transfer of or exchange any debt securities so selected for redemption, in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any debt securities we are redeeming in part.

 

Information Concerning the Debenture Trustee

 

The debenture trustee, other than during the occurrence and continuance of an event of default under the applicable indenture, undertakes to perform only those duties as are specifically set forth in the applicable indenture. Upon an event of default under an indenture, the debenture trustee under such indenture must use the same degree of care as a prudent person would exercise or use in the conduct of his or her own affairs. Subject to this provision, the debenture trustee is under no obligation to exercise any of the powers given it by the indentures at the request of any holder of debt securities unless it is offered reasonable security and indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities that it might incur.

 

 

Payment and Paying Agents

 

Unless we otherwise indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will make payment of the interest on any debt securities on any interest payment date to the person in whose name the debt securities, or one or more predecessor securities, are registered at the close of business on the regular record date for the interest.

 

We will pay the principal of and any premium and interest due on the debt securities of a particular series at the office of the paying agents designated by us, except that unless we otherwise indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will make interest payments by check which we will mail to the holder. Unless we otherwise indicate in a prospectus supplement, we will designate the corporate trust office of the debenture trustee in the City of New York as our sole paying agent for payments with respect to debt securities of each series. We will name in the applicable prospectus supplement any other paying agents that we initially designate for the debt securities of a particular series. We will maintain a paying agent in each place of payment for the debt securities of a particular series.

 

All money we pay to a paying agent or the debenture trustee for the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on any debt securities which remains unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal, premium or interest has become due and payable will be repaid to us, and the holder of the security thereafter may look only to us for payment thereof.

 

Governing Law

 

The indentures and the debt securities will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, except to the extent that the Trust Indenture Act is applicable.

 

Subordination of Subordinated Debt Securities

 

Our obligations pursuant to any subordinated debt securities will be unsecured and will be subordinate and junior in priority of payment to certain of our other indebtedness to the extent described in a prospectus supplement. The subordinated indenture does not limit the amount of senior indebtedness we may incur. It also does not limit us from issuing any other secured or unsecured debt.

 

Enforceability of Judgments

 

Since all or substantially all of our assets, as well as the assets of most of our directors and officers, are outside the United States, any judgment obtained in the United States against us or certain of our directors or officers, including judgments with respect to the payment of principal on the debt securities, may not be collectible within the United States.

 

We have been advised that the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein permit an action to be brought against us in a court of competent jurisdiction in the Province of British Columbia on any final and conclusive judgment in personam of any federal or state court located in the State of New York, or a New York Court, which is subsisting and unsatisfied for a sum certain with respect to the enforcement of the indenture and the debt securities that is not impeachable as void or voidable under the internal laws of the State of New York if: (1) the New York Court rendering such judgment had jurisdiction over the judgment debtor, as recognized by the courts of the Province of British Columbia (and submission by us in the indenture to the jurisdiction of the New York Court will be sufficient for that purpose); (2) proper service of process in respect of the proceedings in which such judgment was obtained was made in accordance with New York law; (3) such judgment was not obtained by fraud or in a manner contrary to natural justice and the enforcement thereof would not be inconsistent with public policy, as such terms are understood under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, the federal laws of Canada or contrary to any order made by the Attorney General of Canada and under the Foreign Extraterritorial Measures Act (Canada) or by the Competition Tribunal under the Competition Act (Canada); (4) the enforcement of such judgment would not be contrary to the laws of general application limiting the enforcement of creditors’ rights, including bankruptcy, reorganization, winding-up, moratorium and similar laws, and does not constitute, directly or indirectly, the enforcement of foreign laws which a court in the Province of British Columbia would characterize as revenue, expropriatory or penal laws; (5) in an action to enforce a default judgment, the judgment does not contain a manifest error on its face; (6) the action to enforce such judgment is commenced within the appropriate limitation period; (7) interest payable on the debt securities is not characterized by a court in the Province of British Columbia as interest payable at a criminal rate within the meaning of Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada); and (8) the judgment does not conflict with another final and conclusive judgment in the same cause of action; except that a court in the Province of British Columbia may stay an action to enforce a foreign judgment if an appeal of a judgment is pending or time for appeal has not expired; and except that any court in the Province of British Columbia may give judgment only in Canadian dollars.

 

We have been advised that there is doubt as to the enforceability in Canada by a court in original actions, or in actions to enforce judgments of U.S. courts, of civil liabilities predicated solely upon the U.S. federal securities laws.

 

 

DESCRIPTION OF SUBSCRIPTION RECEIPTS

 

We may issue subscription receipts that are exchangeable for our equity securities and/or other securities. The particular terms and provisions of subscription receipts offered by any prospectus supplement, and the extent to which the general terms and provisions described below may apply to them, will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement. This description will include, without limitation, where applicable:

 

●

the title and number of subscription receipts;

 

●

the price at which the subscription receipts will be offered;

 

●

the currency in which the subscription receipts will be offered and whether the price is payable in installments;

 

●

the period during which and the price at which the subscription receipts will be offered;

 

●

the terms, conditions and procedures for the exchange of the subscription receipts into or for our equity securities and/or other securities;

 

●

the circumstances, if any, which will cause the subscription receipts to be deemed to be automatically converted or exchanged;

 

●

the designation, number and terms of our equity securities and/or other securities that may be issued or delivered upon exchange of each subscription receipt;

 

●

the provisions applicable to any escrow of the gross or net proceeds from the sale of the subscription receipts plus any interest or income earned thereon, and for the release of such proceeds from such escrow;

 

●

the identity of the subscription receipt agent;

 

●

whether the subscription receipts will be listed on any securities exchange;

 

●

any minimum or maximum subscription amount;

●

certain material Canadian and United States tax consequences of owning or converting or exchanging the subscription receipts; and

 

●

any other material terms and conditions of the subscription receipts.

 

Subscription receipts may be offered separately or together with other securities, as the case may be. The subscription receipts may be issued under one or more subscription receipt agreements, each to be entered into between us and an escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”), which will establish the terms and conditions of the subscription receipts. Each Escrow Agent will be a financial institution organized under the laws of Canada or a province or territory thereof and authorized to carry on business as a trustee. The applicable prospectus supplement will include details of the subscription receipt agreement, if any, governing the subscription receipts being offered. We will file a copy of any subscription receipt agreement relating to an offering of subscription receipts with the relevant securities regulatory authorities in Canada after it has been entered into by us. In the United States, we will file as exhibits to the registration statement, or will incorporate by reference from subsequently filed reports on Form 6-K that we file with the SEC, any subscription receipt describing the terms and conditions of subscription receipts we are offering before the issuance of such subscription receipts.

 

Our equity securities and/or other securities issued or delivered upon the exchange of subscription receipts will be issued for no additional consideration.

 

Prior to the exchange of their subscription receipts, holders of subscription receipts will not have any of the rights of holders of the securities subject to the subscription receipts.

 

 

DESCRIPTION OF WARRANTS

 

We may issue warrants for the purchase of debt securities, preferred shares or common shares. Warrants may be issued independently or together with debt securities, preferred shares or common shares and may be attached to or separate from any offered securities. Any issue of warrants may be substantially similar to our Listed Warrants. Any issue of warrants will be governed by the terms of the applicable form of warrant and any related warrant agreement which we will file with the SEC and they will be incorporated by reference to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part on or before the time we issue any warrants.

 

The particular terms of any issue of warrants will be described in the prospectus supplement relating to the issue. Those terms may include:

 

●

the title of such warrants;

 

●

the aggregate number of such warrants;

 

●

the price or prices at which such warrants will be issued;

 

●

the currency or currencies (including composite currencies) in which the price of such warrants may be payable;

 

●

the terms of the securities purchasable upon exercise of such warrants and the procedures and conditions relating to the exercise of such warrants;

 

●

the price at which the securities purchasable upon exercise of such warrants may be purchased;

 

●

the date on which the right to exercise such warrants will commence and the date on which such right shall expire;

 

●

the manner of exercise of the warrants, including any cashless exercise rights;

 

●

any provisions for adjustment of the number or amount of securities receivable upon exercise of the warrants or the exercise price of the warrants;

 

●

if applicable, the minimum or maximum amount of such warrants that may be exercised at any one time;

 

●

if applicable, the designation and terms of the securities with which such warrants are issued and the number of such warrants issued with each such security;

 

●

if applicable, the date on and after which such warrants and the related securities will be separately transferable;

 

●

the warrant agreement under which the warrants will be issued;

 

●

the effect of any merger, consolidation, sale or other disposition of our business on the warrant agreement and the warrants;

 

●

anti-dilution provisions of the warrants, if any;

 

●

the manner in which the warrant agreement and warrants may be modified;

 

●

the identities of the warrant agent and any calculation or other agent for the warrants;

 

●

certain material Canadian and United States tax consequences of holding or exercising warrants;

 

●

any securities exchange or quotation system on which the warrants or any securities deliverable upon exercise of the warrants may be listed or quoted;

 

●

information with respect to book-entry procedures, if any; and

 

●

any other terms of such warrants, including terms, procedures and limitations relating to the exchange or exercise of such warrants.

 

The prospectus supplement relating to any warrants to purchase equity securities may also include, if applicable, a discussion of certain U.S. and Canadian federal income tax and Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 considerations.

 

 

Each warrant will entitle its holder to purchase the principal amount of debt securities or the number of preferred or common shares at the exercise price set forth in, or calculable as set forth in, the applicable prospectus supplement.

 

After the close of business on the expiration date, unexercised warrants will become void. We will specify the place or places where, and the manner in which, warrants may be exercised in the applicable prospectus supplement.

 

Prior to the exercise of any warrants to purchase debt securities, preferred shares or common shares, holders of the warrants will not have any of the rights of holders of the debt securities, preferred shares or common shares purchasable upon exercise, except as otherwise provided in the terms of such warrants.

 

Any warrant agent will act solely as our agent under the applicable warrant agreement and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust with any holder of any warrant. A single bank or trust company may act as warrant agent for more than one issue of warrants. A warrant agent will have no duty or responsibility in case of any default by us under the applicable warrant agreement or warrant, including any duty or responsibility to initiate any proceedings at law or otherwise, or to make any demand upon us. Any holder of a warrant may, without the consent of the related warrant agent or the holder of any other warrant, enforce by appropriate legal action the holder’s right to exercise, and receive the securities purchasable upon exercise of, its warrants in accordance with their terms.

 

No warrant agreement will be qualified as an indenture, and no warrant agent will be required to qualify as a trustee, under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939. Therefore, holders of warrants issued under a warrant agreement will not have the protection of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 with respect to their warrants.

 

Unless we provide otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, each warrant agreement and any warrants issued under the warrant agreements will be governed by New York law.

 

Our Listed Warrants are listed on the NYSE American under the symbol “GROY.WS”.

 

DESCRIPTION OF UNITS

 

The following description sets forth certain general terms and provisions of units to which any prospectus supplement may relate.

 

We may issue units comprised of one or more of the other securities described in this prospectus in any combination. Each unit will be issued so that the holder of the unit is also the holder of each security included in the unit. Thus, the holder of a unit will have the rights and obligations of a holder of each included security. The unit agreement under which a unit is issued, if any, may provide that the securities included in the unit may not be held or transferred separately, at any time or at any time before a specified date.

 

The applicable prospectus supplement may describe:

 

●

the designation and terms of the units and of the securities comprising the units, including whether and under what circumstances those securities may be held or transferred separately;

 

●

any unit agreement under which the units will be issued;

 

●

any provisions for the issuance, payment, settlement, transfer or exchange of the units or of the securities comprising the units;

 

●

whether the securities comprising the units will be listed on any securities exchange; and

 

●

whether the units will be issued in fully registered or global form.

 

The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the terms of any units. The preceding description and any description of units in the applicable prospectus supplement does not purport to be complete and is subject to and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the unit agreement and, if applicable, collateral arrangements and depositary arrangements relating to such units.

 

TAXATION

 

Our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the most recent year incorporated by reference herein provides a discussion of certain tax considerations that may be relevant to prospective investors in our securities. The applicable prospectus supplement may also contain information about certain material tax considerations relating to the securities covered by such prospectus supplement. Prospective investors should read the tax discussion in any prospectus supplement with respect to a particular offering and consult their own tax advisors with respect to their own particular circumstances.

 

 

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

We may sell the securities offered by this prospectus to one or more underwriters or dealers for public offering, through broker-dealers (acting as agent or principal), through agents, directly by us to one or more purchasers (including our affiliates and shareholders), through a specific bidding or auction process, a rights offering or otherwise or through a combination of any such methods of sale. The name of any such underwriters, dealers or agents involved in the offer and sale of the securities, the amounts underwritten and the nature of its obligation to take the securities will be specified in the applicable prospectus supplement. We have reserved the right to sell the securities directly to investors on our own behalf in those jurisdictions where we are authorized to do so. The sale of the securities may be effected in one or more transactions, including block transactions (which may involve crosses) and transactions on any national or international securities exchange or quotation service on which the securities may be listed or quoted at the time of sale; purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its own account pursuant to a prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus; ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which a broker-dealer solicits purchasers; transactions in the over-the-counter market; in transactions not involving market markers or otherwise than on such exchanges or in the over-the-counter market; or through the writing of options. Each time that we sell securities covered by this prospectus, we will provide a prospectus supplement or supplements that will describe the method of distribution and set forth the terms and conditions of the offering of such securities, including the offering price of the securities and the proceeds to us, if applicable.

 

In addition, the securities offered by this prospectus may be offered and issued in consideration for the acquisition of other businesses, assets or securities by us or our subsidiaries. The consideration for any such acquisition may consist of the securities separately, a combination of the securities or any combination of, among other things, securities, cash and assumption of liabilities.

 

We and our agents and underwriters may offer and sell the securities at a fixed price or prices that may be changed, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. The securities may be offered on an exchange, which will be disclosed in the applicable prospectus supplement. We may, from time to time, authorize dealers, acting as our agents, to offer and sell the securities upon such terms and conditions as set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.

 

We may also sell the securities offered by any applicable prospectus supplement in “at-the-market offerings” within the meaning of Rule 415 of the Securities Act or “at-the-market distributions” within the meaning of NI 44-102 made through the facilities of the NYSE American or through a market maker or into an existing trading market, on an exchange or otherwise. No agent, underwriter or broker dealer involved in an “at-the-market offering” or “at-the-market distribution” and no affiliate of such agent, underwriter or dealer or person or company acting jointly or in concert with such agent, underwriter or dealer may, in connection with such offering or distribution, enter into any transaction that is intended to stabilize or maintain the market price of the securities distributed under any applicable prospectus supplement qualifying an “at-the-market offering” or “at-the-market distribution”, including an aggregate number or principal amount of securities that would result in the agent, underwriter or dealer creating an over-allotment position in the securities.

 

If we use underwriters to sell securities, we will enter into an underwriting agreement with them at the time of the sale to them. In connection with the sale of the securities, underwriters or agents may receive compensation from us in the form of underwriting discounts or commissions and may also receive commissions from purchasers of the securities for whom they may act as agent. The names of any underwriters, any underwriting compensation paid by us to underwriters or agents in connection with the offering of the securities, and any discounts, concessions or commissions allowed by underwriters to participating dealers, will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement to the extent required by applicable law. Underwriters may sell the securities to or through dealers, and such dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the underwriters or commissions (which may be changed from time to time) from the purchasers for whom they may act as agents. If a dealer is utilized in the sale of the securities being offered by this prospectus, the securities will be sold to the dealer, as principal. The dealer may then resell the securities to the public at varying prices to be determined by the dealer at the time of resale.

 

Dealers and agents participating in the distribution of the securities may be deemed to be underwriters, and any discounts and commissions received by them and any profit realized by them on resale of the securities may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, an agent will be acting on a best efforts basis.

 

 

If so indicated in the prospectus supplement, we will authorize underwriters, dealers or agents to solicit offers by certain specified institutions to purchase offered securities from us at the public offering price set forth in the prospectus supplement pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. Such contracts will be subject to any conditions set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement and the prospectus supplement will set forth the commission payable for solicitation of such contracts. The underwriters and other persons soliciting such contracts will have no responsibility for the validity or performance of any such contracts. Offers to purchase the securities being offered by this prospectus may also be solicited directly.

 

Underwriters, dealers and agents may be entitled, under agreements entered into with us, to indemnification against and contribution towards certain civil liabilities, including any liabilities under the Securities Act.

 

To facilitate the offering of securities, certain persons participating in the offering may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain, or otherwise affect the price of the securities, other than in relation to an “at-the-market distribution” or “at-the-market offering” or as may otherwise be set out in the applicable prospectus supplement relating to a particular offering of the securities. These may include over-allotment, stabilization, syndicate short covering transactions and penalty bids. Over-allotment involves sales in excess of the offering size, which creates a short position. Stabilizing transactions involve bids to purchase the underlying security so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum. Syndicate short covering transactions involve purchases of securities in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover syndicate short positions. Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim selling concessions from dealers when the securities originally sold by the dealers are purchased in covering transactions to cover syndicate short positions. These transactions may cause the price of the securities sold in an offering to be higher than it would otherwise be. These transactions, if commenced, may be discontinued by the underwriters at any time.

 

Any securities other than our common shares and warrants issued hereunder may be new issues of securities with no established trading market. Any underwriters or agents to or through whom such securities are sold for public offering and sale may make a market in such securities, but such underwriters or agents will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. No assurance can be given as to the liquidity of the trading market for any such securities. The amount of expenses expected to be incurred by us in connection with any issuance of securities will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. Certain of the underwriters, dealers or agents and their associates may engage in transactions with, and perform services for, us and certain of our affiliates in the ordinary course of business.

 

During such time as we may be engaged in a distribution of the securities covered by this prospectus we are required to comply with Regulation M promulgated under the Exchange Act. With certain exceptions, Regulation M precludes us, any affiliated purchasers, and any broker-dealer or other person who participates in such distribution from bidding for or purchasing, or attempting to induce any person to bid for or purchase, any security which is the subject of the distribution until the entire distribution is complete. Regulation M also restricts bids or purchases made in order to stabilize the price of a security in connection with the distribution of that security. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of our shares of common shares.

 

The specific terms of any lock-up provisions in respect of any given offering will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

 

The underwriters, dealers and agents may engage in transactions with us, or perform services for us, in the ordinary course of business for which they receive compensation.

Certain legal matters with respect to the validity of the offered securities under Canadian law will be passed upon for us by Sangra Moller LLP, Vancouver, British Columbia. Certain legal matters with respect to U.S. federal securities law and New York law will be passed upon for us by Haynes and Boone, LLP.

As a foreign private issuer, we are exempt from the rules under the Exchange Act related to the furnishing and content of proxy statements, and from short-swing profit recovery provisions contained in Section 16 of the Exchange Act, among other things. In addition, we are not required under the Exchange Act to file periodic reports and financial statements with the SEC as frequently or as promptly as United States companies whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act.

We are incorporating by reference in this prospectus the documents listed below and all amendments or supplements we may file to such documents, as well as any future filings we may make with the SEC on Form 20-F under the Exchange Act before the time that all of the securities offered by this prospectus have been sold or de-registered:

ENFORCEMENT OF CIVIL LIABILITIES

 

We are incorporated under the laws of Canada. Substantially all of our assets are located outside the United States. In addition, several of our directors and officers are nationals and/or residents of countries other than the United States, and all or a substantial portion of such persons’ assets may be located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon us or such persons or to enforce against them or against us, judgments obtained in United States courts, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state thereof. In addition, investors should not assume that the courts of Canada (i) would enforce judgments of U.S. courts obtained in actions against us, our officers or directors, or other said persons, predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws or other laws of the United States; or (ii) would enforce, in original actions, liabilities against us or such directors, officers or experts predicated upon the United States federal securities laws or any securities or other laws of any state or jurisdiction of the United States.

 

In addition, there is doubt as to the applicability of the civil liability provisions of U.S. federal securities law to original actions instituted in Canada. It may be difficult for an investor, or any other person or entity, to assert U.S. securities laws claims in original actions instituted in Canada.

PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

 

ITEM 8. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

 

Under the CBCA, Gold Royalty is permitted to indemnify its directors and officers and former directors and officers against costs and expenses, including amounts paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment in a civil, criminal or administrative action or proceeding to which they are made parties because of their position as directors or officers, including an action against Gold Royalty. In order to be entitled to indemnification under the CBCA, the director or officer must act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of Gold Royalty, and in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, the director or officer must have reasonable grounds for believing that his or her conduct was lawful.

 

Under its Bylaws, Gold Royalty shall, whenever required or permitted by the CBCA or otherwise by law, indemnify each director, each officer, each former director, each former officer and each person who acts or acted at Gold Royalty’s request as a director or officer or an individual acting in a similar capacity, of another entity, and his or her heirs and personal representatives, against all costs, charges and expenses, including, without limitation, each amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by him or her in respect of any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other proceeding to which he or she is made a party by reason of being or having been a director or officer of Gold Royalty or such other entity.

 

Gold Royalty has also entered into indemnification agreements with each of its current directors and officers. The indemnification agreements generally require that it indemnify and hold the indemnitees harmless to the greatest extent permitted by law for liabilities arising out of the indemnitees’ service to Gold Royalty as directors and officers, if the indemnitees acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of Gold Royalty and, with respect to criminal and administrative actions or other non-civil proceedings that are enforced by monetary penalty, if the indemnitee had reasonable grounds to believe that his or her conduct was lawful. The indemnification agreements also provide for the advancing of defense expenses to the indemnitees by Gold Royalty.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling Gold Royalty pursuant to the foregoing provisions, Gold Royalty has been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Item 10. Undertakings

 

(a)

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

 

1)

to file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

 

(i)

to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, or the Securities Act;

 

(ii)

to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

 

(iii)

to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement;

 

provided, however, that paragraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the Registration Statement.

 

2)

that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

3)

to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

4)

to file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement to include any financial statements required by Item 8.A. of Form 20-F at the start of any delayed offering or throughout a continuous offering. Financial statements and information otherwise required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Act need not be furnished, provided that the registrant includes in the prospectus, by means of a post-effective amendment, financial statements required pursuant to this paragraph (a)(4) and other information necessary to ensure that all other information in the prospectus is at least as current as the date of those financial statements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to registration statements on Form F-3, a post-effective amendment need not be filed to include financial statements and information required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Act or Rule 3-19 of this chapter if such financial statements and information are contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the Form F-3.

 

5)

that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:

 

(i)

each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be a part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

 

 

(ii)

each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5) or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii) or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which the prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

 

6)

that, for the purpose of determining liability of a registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

 

(i)

any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

 

(ii)

any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by an undersigned registrant;

 

(iii)

the portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

 

(iv)

any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

 

(b)

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(c)

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

 

(d)

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to file an application for the purpose of determining the eligibility of the trustee to act under subsection (a) of Section 310 of the Trust Indenture Act in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed by the SEC under Section 305(b)(2) of the Trust Indenture Act.

Dear Sirs / Mesdames:

 

Re:	Gold Royalty Corp. – Registration Statement on Form F-3

 

We have acted as Canadian counsel to Gold Royalty Corp. (the “Corporation”), a corporation incorporated under the laws of Canada, in connection with the Registration Statement on Form F-3 (the “Registration Statement”) of the Corporation filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) on the date hereof. The Registration Statement registers the issuance and sale of up to US$250,000,000 of the Corporation’s common shares (“Common Shares”), preferred shares (“Preferred Shares”), warrants (“Warrants”), subscription receipts (“Subscription Receipts”), debt securities (“Debt Securities”) and units, comprised of one or more other Common Shares, Preferred Shares, Warrants, Subscription Receipts and Debt Securities, in any combination (“Units” and, together with the Common Shares, Preferred Shares, Warrants, Subscription Receipts and Debt Securities, the “Securities”) that the Corporation may sell from time to time in one or more offerings on terms to be determined at the time of sale pursuant to the Registration Statement and one or more prospectus supplements to the Registration Statement.

 

In so acting, we have examined copies of the Registration Statement, including the prospectus contained therein, as well as: (i) the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation and by-laws of the Corporation, and (ii) records of the Corporation’s corporate proceedings in connection with the Registration Statement as certified by an officer of the Corporation (together, the “Corporate Documents”). We have also examined copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such public and corporate records, certificates, instruments and other documents and have considered such questions of law as we have deemed relevant and necessary as a basis for the opinion hereinafter expressed. With respect to the accuracy of factual matters material to this opinion, we have relied upon certificates or comparable documents and representations of public officials and the Corporate Documents, without independent investigation of the matters provided for therein for the purpose of providing this opinion.

 

We have assumed (i) the genuineness of all signatures on all documents examined by us and the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies, whether facsimile, electronic, photostatic, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, and the authenticity of the originals of such copies, (ii) all information contained in all documents reviewed by us is true and correct, (iii) each natural person signing any document reviewed by us had the legal capacity to do so, none of which facts we have independently verified, (iv) no order, ruling or decision of any court or regulatory or administrative body is in effect at any relevant time that restricts the issuance of the Securities, (v) there is no foreign law that would affect the opinion expressed herein, and (vi) at the time of the execution and delivery of any documents relating to the Securities or the offering thereof, to the extent such documents purport to constitute agreements, such documents constitute valid and binding obligations of such parties. We also have assumed the due authorization, execution and delivery of all documents where authorization, execution and delivery are prerequisites to the effectiveness of such documents.

We have also assumed that:

 

1.	the Corporation has the necessary corporate power and capacity to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the terms and conditions of any purchase, underwriting or other agreement, indenture or instrument relating to the Corporation’s creation, authentication, issuance, sale and/or delivery of the Securities to which the Corporation is party (any such agreement, the “Agreement”);
2.	the Corporation has the necessary corporate power and capacity to authorize, create, authenticate, validly issue, sell and deliver the Securities and perform its obligations under the terms and conditions of the Securities;
3.	all necessary corporate action has or will have been taken by the Corporation to duly authorize the execution and delivery by the Corporation of the Agreement and the performance of its obligations under the terms and conditions thereof;
4.	all necessary corporate action has or will have been taken by the Corporation to duly authorize, create, authenticate, sell, deliver and validly issue the Securities and to perform its obligations under the terms and conditions of the Securities, and all of the terms and conditions relevant to the execution, delivery and issuance of the Securities in the applicable Agreement have or will have been complied with;
5.	all necessary corporate action has or will have been taken by the Corporation to duly authorize the terms of the offering of the Securities and related matters;
6.	the Agreement: (i) has or will have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by all parties thereto and such parties have the capacity to do so; (ii) constitutes or will constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of all parties thereto; (iii) is or will be enforceable in accordance with its terms against all parties thereto; and (iv) is or will be governed by the laws of the Province of British Columbia;
7.	the Securities have or will have been duly authorized, created, authenticated, sold and delivered and validly issued by the Corporation and any other person signing or authenticating the Securities, as applicable;
8.	the terms of the offering of the Securities and related matters have or will have been duly authorized by the Corporation;

9.	the execution and delivery of the Agreement and the performance by the Corporation of its obligations under the terms and conditions thereunder do not and will not conflict with and do not and will not result in a breach of or default under, and do not and will not create a state of facts which, after notice or lapse of time or both, will conflict with or result in a breach of or default under any of the terms or conditions of the articles of the Corporation, any resolutions of the board of directors or shareholders of the Corporation, any agreement or obligation of the Corporation or applicable law;
10.	the authorization, creation, authentication, sale, delivery and issuance of the Securities and the Corporation’s performance of its obligations under the terms and conditions of the Securities do not and will not conflict with and do not and will not result in a breach of or default under, and do not and will not create a state of facts which, after notice or lapse of time or both, will conflict with or result in a breach of or default under any of the terms or conditions of the articles of the Corporation, any resolutions of the board of directors or shareholders of the Corporation, any agreement or obligation of the Corporation or applicable law; and
11.	the terms of the offering of the Securities and related matters do not and will not conflict with and do not and will not result in a breach of or default under, and do not and will not create a state of facts which, after notice or lapse of time or both, will conflict with or result in a breach of or default under any of the terms or conditions of the articles of the Corporation, any resolutions of the board of directors or shareholders of the Corporation, any agreement or obligation of the Corporation or applicable law.

 

Based and relying upon the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications, assumptions and limitations expressed herein, we are of the opinion that, upon payment for the applicable Securities provided for in the applicable Agreement and when issued, sold and delivered in accordance with such Agreement, (i) the Common Shares and Preferred Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares in the capital of the Corporation, and (ii) the Warrants, Subscription Receipts, Debt Securities and Units will be validly created and issued securities of the Corporation and will be binding obligations of the Corporation.

 

Our opinion is limited to the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein on the date of this opinion. We have not considered, and have not expressed, any opinion with regard to, or as to the effect of, any other law, rule or regulation, state or federal, applicable to the Corporation. In particular, we express no opinion as to United States federal securities laws.

 

We hereby consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to reference to our firm under the heading “Legal Matters” in the prospectus forming part of the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act, or the rules and regulations of the SEC.

 

This opinion is furnished solely in connection with the filing of the Registration Statement and is not to be used, circulated, quoted or otherwise relied upon for any other purpose. This opinion is limited to the specific issues addressed herein, and no opinion may be inferred or implied beyond that expressly stated herein. The opinion herein expressed is given and effective as of the date hereof and we undertake no duty to update or supplement such opinion to reflect subsequent factual or legal developments which may come or be brought to our attention.

 

Yours truly,

(1)	Pursuant to Rule 416 of the Securities Act, this Registration Statement also includes common shares issuable upon share splits, share dividends or similar transactions. These offered securities may be sold separately, together or as units with other offered securities. An unspecified number of securities or aggregate principal amount, as applicable, is being registered as may from time to time be offered at unspecified prices.
(2)	Pursuant to Rule 457(o) under the Securities Act, which permits the registration fee to be calculated on the basis of the maximum offering price of all the securities listed, the table does not specify by each class information as to the amount to be registered, proposed maximum offering price per unit or proposed maximum aggregate offering price. The aggregate public offering price of securities sold by the Registrant (including newly listed securities and carry-forward securities) will not exceed $250,000,000.
(3)	The Registrant previously registered $250,000,000 in aggregate offering price of securities pursuant to the Registration Statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-265581) filed on June 14, 2022, and declared effective on July 15, 2022 (the “Prior Registration Statement”), $214,245,702.48 of which remains unsold as of the date of filing of this registration statement (the “Unsold Securities”). The Registrant expects to carry forward to this registration statement the Unsold Securities pursuant to Rule 415(a)(6) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Registrant previously paid a registration fee of $13,903.00 in connection with the filing of the Prior Registration Statement of which $11,914.63 relates to the Unsold Securities. The $11,914.63 previously paid filing fee relating to such Unsold Securities under the Prior Registration Statement will continue to be applied to such Unsold Securities registered on this registration statement. For reasons stated above, the net registration fee paid in connection with the Unsold Securities is $0.   To the extent that, after the filing date hereof and prior to the effectiveness of this registration statement, the Registrant sells any Unsold Securities pursuant to the Prior Registration Statement, the Registrant will identify in a pre-effective amendment to this registration statement the updated amount of Unsold Securities from the Prior Registration Statement to be included in this registration statement pursuant to Rule 415(a)(6). Pursuant to Rule 415(a)(6), the offering of the Unsold Securities under the Prior Registration Statement will be deemed terminated as of the date of effectiveness of this registration statement.
