On November 11, 2014, we commenced a normal course issuer bid (“NCIB”) for our convertible debentures. Under the NCIB, we entered into a pre-defined automatic securities purchase plan with our broker in order to facilitate purchases of our convertible debentures which expired on November 10, 2015. As of December 31, 2015, we had repurchased and cancelled $24.8 million of convertible debentures and recorded a gain of $3.1 million in the consolidated statement of operations related to these transactions. On December 29, 2015, we commenced a new NCIB, which will expire on December 28, 2016. The actual amount of convertible debentures that may be purchased under the NCIB is approximately $28.5 million and is further limited to 10% of the public float of our convertible debentures. Since inception of the NCIB in the fourth quarter of 2015 and through March 31, 2016, we repurchased and canceled $18.8 million of convertible debentures and recorded a gain of $2.5 million in the consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016. On April 13, 2016, we deposited a portion of the proceeds from the issuance of the New Credit Facilities, for the redemption in whole on May 13, 2016 at a price equal to par plus accrued interest (i) the outstanding Cdn$67.2 million 6.25% Debentures due March 2017 and (ii) the outstanding Cdn$75.8 million 5.60% Debentures due June 2017 (total US$ equivalent of $111.8 million as of April 13, 2016). Deferred financing costs related to the debentures of $1.3 million were written off and recorded to interest expense in April 2016.
