"AMENDED MOTION FOR THE ISSUANCE OF AN APPROVAL AND
VESTING ORDER WITH RESPECT TO THE SALE OF THE CHROMITE SHARES"
First offer by KWG:
"On April 16, 2015, the Monitor received a letter from KWG (the "KWG Letter"), inter alia,
requesting that the Monitor inform the Court of KWG’s desire to submit a Superior
Proposal for the purchase of the shares of KWG, as appears from the letter from KWG
communicated herewith as Exhibit R-14."
"KWG’s proposal would only have been for the purchase of the issued and outstanding shares of KWG, which comprise only a small portion of the overall Transaction."
"the applicable securities legislation only requires an early warning notice or
insider report to be filed after the acquisition of shares is made and the obligation to
make such filings after the acquisition is on the acquirer, not the seller of the KWG
shares."
Second offer by KWG:
"On April 16, 2015, the Sellers received an email "offer" from KWG for the Ring of Fire
Shares for a net smelter royalty if the sale to the Purchaser "goes off the rails". The
Sellers, in consultation with Moelis and the Monitor, did not consider this proposal to be
a viable offer and therefore not a Superior Proposal."
And since we're at it....let's see the competing offer:
"Prior to the expiry of the Bid Deadline, both the New Offeror and the Purchaser
submitted revised offers with a higher purchase price than their original offers (the
"Revised New Offer" and "Revised Noront Offer", respectively). In accordance with
the Supplemental Bid Process, both offers provided for the removal of the ability of the
Sellers to terminate the share purchase agreement to pursue a Superior Proposal."
"The CCAA Parties determined in good faith and after consultation with their legal
counsel, the Sales Advisor and the Monitor that the Revised Noront Offer was superior
to the Revised New Offer. The purchase price to be paid by the Purchaser in the revised
Noront Offer is materially higher than the purchase price offered in the Revised New
Offer."
"On April 16, 2015, Moelis informed the Purchaser that the Revised Noront Offer was
superior to the Revised New Offer, and the Sellers accepted the Revised Noront Offer
and committed to entering into the Share Purchase Agreement after minor drafting
adjustments had been agreed to."
And...in conclusion:
"Given the marketing effort to date, limited number of participants in the chromite market,
the uniqueness of the assets, the challenges described above in respect of the Ring of
Fire and the fact that CNR’s intentions to sell its investment in the Ring of Fire projects
have been publicly known to the market since the fall of 2014 at the latest, the CCAA
Parties are of the view that further canvassing of the market is not necessary."
"The CCAA Parties have been advised by the Monitor that it will provide shortly a fulsome
report on the […] Supplemental Bid Process, the Share Purchase Agreement […] and
the CQIM Purchase Price […], with its recommendation that this Court approve this
Amended Motion and issue the Approval and Vesting Order requested by the CCAA
Parties."
"The only material conditions to the closing of the proposed Transaction are obtaining the
Approval and Vesting Order sought herein by no later than April 27, 2015 and the
contemporaneous closing of an amended and restated loan agreement between the
Purchaser and an affiliate of Franco-Nevada Corporation (the "Franco-Nevada
Financing") […] and a royalty agreement with Franco-Nevada, the proceeds together of
which will finance the purchase price under the Share Purchase Agreement."
