Equity [Abstract] |
Stockholders' Equity Note Disclosure [Text Block] | 14. Share capital and additional paid-in capital Shares of redeemable preferred stock (“preferred shares”) are issued under the Company’s Employee Share Incentive Plan (see Note 19) and carry the same voting and dividend rights as shares of common stock (“common shares”). Preferred shares vest over four years and convert to common stock on a share for share basis on the fourth anniversary of each grant date. Preferred shares are only redeemable with the Company’s agreement. Upon liquidation, preferred shares rank in preference to the common shares to the extent of the par value of the preferred shares and any related additional paid in capital. The Company is a party to an Option Deed dated August 6, 1997, and amended on August 8, 2005, September 27, 2005 and May 30, 2007 (as amended, the “Option Deed”), which expires on July 31, 2017, that is designed to deter coercive takeover tactics. Pursuant to the Option Deed, the Company granted to the holders of its common shares and redeemable preferred shares options (the “Options”) to purchase one one-hundredth of a share of Class 'B' common shares of the Company at an exercise price of $100.00 per one one-hundredth of a Class 'B' common share, subject to adjustment. The Options are attached to and trade with the Company’s common shares and redeemable preferred shares, and no separate certificates representing the Options have been distributed. The Options will separate from the Company’s common shares and redeemable preferred shares, and certificates representing the Options will be issued, upon the earlier of the date (such date, the “Distribution Date”) that is (i) ten business days following a public announcement that a person or group of affiliated or associated persons (an “Acquiring Person”) has acquired, or obtained the right to acquire, beneficial ownership of 20% or more of the Company’s outstanding common shares, or (ii) ten business days following the commencement of a tender offer or exchange offer that would result in a person or group becoming an Acquiring Person. The Options are not exercisable until the Distribution Date and will expire at the close of business on July 31, 2017, unless that date is extended or the Options are earlier redeemed by us. Additionally, following the Distribution Date, all Options that are, or in certain circumstances were, beneficially owned by any Acquiring Person will be null and void. For a period of ten business days following the date that any person, alone or jointly with its affiliates and associates, becomes an Acquiring Person, the Company will have the right to redeem the Options at a price of CI$0.01 per Option. If the Options are not redeemed, then following such ten business day period each holder of an Option will have the right to receive on exercise, in lieu of one one-hundredth of a Class 'B' common share, common shares of the Company (or, in certain circumstances, cash, property or other securities) having a value equal to two times the exercise price of the Option. For example, at an exercise price of $100.00 per Option, each Option not owned by an Acquiring Person (or by certain related parties) following any person, alone or jointly with its affiliates and associates, becoming an Acquiring Person would entitle its holder to purchase $200.00 worth of the Company’s common shares for $100.00. Assuming that the common shares had a per share value of $20.00 at such time, the holder of each valid Option would be entitled to purchase 10 common shares for $100.00. Any of the provisions of the Option Deed may be amended by the Company’s Board of Directors prior to the Distribution Date. After the Distribution Date, the provisions of the Option Deed may be amended by the Board of Directors in order to cure any ambiguity, to make changes which do not adversely affect the interests of holders of Options (excluding the interests of any Acquiring Person), or to shorten or lengthen any time period under the Option Deed.
