12. Acquisition of Clearnet Shares Not Deposited<br />
If, within 120 days after the date of the <strong>Offer</strong>s and subject <strong>to</strong> the terms and conditions of the <strong>Offer</strong>s, the<br />
<strong>Offer</strong>s have been accepted by the holders or not less than 90% of the Clearnet Shares and such Clearnet Shares<br />
have been taken up and paid for by the <strong>Offer</strong>ors, the <strong>Offer</strong>ors currently intend <strong>to</strong> acquire the remaining<br />
Clearnet Shares pursuant <strong>to</strong> the compulsory acquisition provisions of the CBCA on the same terms on which the<br />
<strong>Offer</strong>ors acquired Clearnet Shares pursuant <strong>to</strong> the <strong>Offer</strong>s. If the <strong>Offer</strong>ors take up and pay for Clearnet Shares<br />
deposited under the <strong>Offer</strong>s and such statu<strong>to</strong>ry right of compulsory acquisition is not available or if the <strong>Offer</strong>ors<br />
elect not <strong>to</strong> proceed by way of statu<strong>to</strong>ry right, the <strong>Offer</strong>ors intend <strong>to</strong> acquire, directly or indirectly, all of the<br />
Clearnet Shares not deposited under the <strong>Offer</strong>s by way of a subsequent acquisition transaction. The <strong>Offer</strong>ors<br />
will cause the Clearnet Shares acquired under the <strong>Offer</strong>s <strong>to</strong> be voted in favour of such a transaction and <strong>to</strong> be<br />
counted as part of any minority or independent shareholder approval that may be required in connection with<br />
such a transaction. If the Minimum Deposit Condition is satisfied, the <strong>Offer</strong>ors believe that they will own<br />
sufficient Clearnet Shares <strong>to</strong> effect such a transaction. See ‘‘Acquisition of Clearnet Shares Not Deposited<br />
Under the <strong>Offer</strong>s’’ in the Circular.<br />
