On August 20, Quadravest announced:

M Split Corp. (the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it will be issuing Warrants to Capital and Class II Preferred shareholders as part of a series of changes that were approved by 99% of shareholders voting at the recent shareholders meeting held on May 14, 2014.

The issue of Warrants will be accomplished through a reorganization of shares which will occur prior to the opening of trading on the TSX on August 25, 2014 (the “effective date”).

The details are as follows:
Each holder of a Capital Share on the effective date will receive one Capital Share (2014), having the rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions approved by Shareholders at the 2014 Special Meeting, and one Warrant for each Capital Share held.
Each holder of a Class II Preferred Shares on the effective date will receive one Class II Preferred Share (2014), having the rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions approved at the 2014 Special Meeting, and one Warrant for each Class II Preferred Share held.
The Warrants will allow current Capital and Class II Preferred shareholders to increase their investment in the Company. Four Warrants will entitle the holder to purchase a Unit consisting of one Class I Preferred Share, one Class II Preferred Share and one Capital Share for a total subscription price of $8.15. The Warrants may be exercised on any business day commencing on August 26, 2014 and up until 5:00 p.m. (EST) on the expiry date of November 25, 2014.

The Class I Preferred Shares, Class II Preferred Shares and Capital Shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) under the symbols XMF.PR.B, XMF.PR.C and XMF.A, respectively. On August 19, 2014, the closing prices on the TSX of the Class I Preferred Shares, Class II Preferred Shares and Capital Shares were $5.35, $2.80 and $0.36, respectively. The Company has received conditional approval to list the Warrants on the TSX under the symbol XMF.WT effective August 25, 2014.

The reorganization of shares and issue of Warrants is a non-taxable event.

M Split invests in common shares of Manulife Financial Corporation, the largest life insurer in Canada offering financial products and wealth management services.

Additional information regarding the capital reorganization and Warrant offering is contained in the Management Information Circular dated April 11, 2014 as well as in the Information Statement dated August 18, 2014 which will be mailed to all Capital and Class II Preferred shareholders and will also be available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

They have now announced:

M Split Corp. (the “Company”) would like to provide an update on the Company’s outstanding warrants. The warrants can be exercised on any business day up until the expiry date of November 25, 2014 at 5:00 p.m. (EST).

Four Warrants plus the subscription price of $8.15 will entitle the holder to subscribe for one Unit. Each Unit consists of one Class I Preferred Share (XMF.PR.B), one Class II Preferred Share (XMF.PR.C) and one Capital Share (XMF.A) of the Company.

The subscription price is consistent with the combined recent trading prices of the Unit. Any warrants not exercised by November 25, 2014 will expire worthless.

Warrant holders should contact their advisors for more information on how to exercise their warrants in advance of the expiry date.

Warrant holders wishing to subscribe for additional shares above their allotment of warrants may do so by contacting their advisor.

The Company invests in common shares of Manulife Financial Corporation, the largest life insurer in Canada offering financial products and wealth management services.

The pending worthless expiration of the warrants isn’t much of a threat – the unit NAV was $7.85 on November 14, significantly below the $8.15 exercise price.

XMF.PR.A was last mentioned on PrefBlog when the 2010 Reorganization was completed. The 2014 Reorganization was merely a term extension, with the promise of this warrant offering.
