The release says they are compliant with CBCA clause 42(a) but not compliant with 42 (b) due to the decline in the market cap and the high value of the capital account due to the issue of shares at higher prices.   The clauses are below.   What they are saying is the value of the business is now lower than the liabilities plus the stated capital of all classes.   And they're almost certainly right about that!   That wasn't the case when they last declared a dividend (May 10th) because the market cap was higher.   So this doesn't have to be an excuse.   It is, however, very positive for pref holders: they should have stopped the common dividend immediately and stopping it transfers a lot of value back to pref holders.   

The clauses:

42 A corporation shall not declare or pay a dividend if there are reasonable grounds for believing that

(a) the corporation is, or would after the payment be, unable to pay its liabilities as they become due; or

(b) the realizable value of the corporation’s assets would thereby be less than the aggregate of its liabilities and stated capital of all classes.
