Legal Advisories
Listing of the MGX Renewables Shares is subject to the approval of the CSE. A market for MGX Renewables Shares may not
sustainably develop following the completion of the Distribution. If a market for MGX Renewables Shares does not sustainably
develop, MGX shareholders may have difficulty selling their MGX Renewables Shares and the market price for MGX Renewables Shares
may be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to numerous factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s and MGX
Renewables’ control. If the MGX Renewables Shares are not accepted for listing on a recognized exchange then the Distribution may
not occur.
Following the Distribution, the Company may own or control MGX Renewables Shares and that ownership or control may be
material. As a result, the Company could have the ability to control or veto matters submitted to MGX Renewables’ shareholders for
approval. This may negatively affect the attractiveness of MGX Renewables to third parties considering an acquisition of MGX
Renewables or cause the market price of the MGX Renewables Shares to decline. The interests of the Company may not in all cases be
aligned with the interests of MGX Renewables’ shareholders. In addition, the Company may have an interest in pursuing acquisitions,
divestitures and other transactions that, in the judgment of its management, could enhance its equity investment, even though such
transactions might involve risks to MGX Renewables’ shareholders and may ultimately adversely affect the market price of the MGX
Renewables Shares. So long as the Company continues to own, directly or indirectly, a significant amount of the MGX Renewables
Shares, the Company may be able to strongly influence or effectively control MGX Renewables’ decisions.
The Company does, from time to time, make investments in other companies and in its own research and development
initiatives. As such, the Company may acquire interests in companies or otherwise develop businesses that directly or indirectly
compete with all or certain portions of MGX Renewables’ business or that are suppliers to, or customers of, MGX
Renewables.
MGX Shareholders should consult their own tax advisors in respect of the Distribution.
