Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by the addition of the following information:

On July 9, 2014, PABTL entered into a Forward Purchase and Sale Agreement with Oberon Capital Corporation for the purchase of 200,000 Common Shares of the Issuer for a total purchase price of CDN $1,714,280.

Pursuant to the terms of a cash-settled share swap transaction described in Item 6, the purchaser under the sale transaction described in the previous sentence sold to PABTL a total return on 4,600,000 Common Shares in exchange for a monthly payment.

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby further amended by deleting the information (including the tables provided as part of such information) set forth in Schedule 13D (Amendment No. 4) regarding beneficial ownership of the Issuer’s Common Shares by the Filing Persons, and replacing the deleted information with the following information:

On the date of this Schedule 13D (Amendment No. 5), the Filing Persons are the beneficial owners of, in the aggregate, 4,778,757 Common Shares, representing 10.1% of the Issuer’s outstanding Common Shares. The Filing Persons’ percentage beneficial ownership has been computed as a percentage of 47,081,376 Common Shares outstanding on May 12, 2014, as reported in the Issuer’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis for the three months ended March 31, 2014, as filed with the SEC on May 12, 2014. The number of Common Shares and the percentage of the Issuer’s Common Shares beneficially owned by each Filing Person are as follows:

  1 Includes 3,701,232 shares owned directly by PABTL and 200,000 shares which PABTL has agreed to purchase.
     


2 Voting and dispositive power over the Common Shares held by Buckingham is exercisable by any of its trustees, acting individually. In practice, such authority is exercised solely by Mr. Friedberg and by Ms. Friedberg.
     


3 Includes 21,700 shares held in a retirement account for the benefit of Ms. Friedberg, 29,125 shares owned directly by Ms. Friedberg, and 250,000 shares owned directly by Buckingham (see note 2).

Excludes 29,125 shares owned directly by Ms. Friedberg, the wife of Mr. Friedberg, with respect to which Mr. Friedberg disclaims beneficial ownership.

All shares reported as beneficially owned by FCMI, PABTL, Nancy Friedberg, Albert D. Friedberg and Buckingham are presently outstanding, Mr. Friedberg, directly and through his control over FCMI shares held by members of his family and trusts for the benefit of members of his family, may be considered the sole beneficial owner of all of the Common Stock beneficially owned by FCMI. By virtue of his control of FCMI, Mr. Friedberg also may be deemed to possess voting and dispositive power over the shares owned directly by its wholly-owned subsidiary, PABTL. As trustees of Buckingham, each of Mr. Friedberg and Ms. Friedberg possesses voting and dispositive power over the Common Shares owned by Buckingham and may be deemed to share beneficial ownership of such Common Shares. Except for such beneficial ownership by Albert D. Friedberg and by Ms. Friedberg, none of the directors or officers of FCMI or PABTL, and none of the trustees of Buckingham, beneficially own any Common Shares.

Except for PABTL’s agreement to purchase 200,000 Common Shares, its sale of 4,600,000 Common Shares and the entry into the cash-settled share swap transaction described above and below, none of the Filing Persons, and none of their respective directors, officers or trustees has effected any transactions in the Issuer’s Common Shares in the 60 days preceding the filing of this Schedule 13D (Amendment No. 5).

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with respect to Securities of the Issuer  

 

PABTL entered into an agreement to sell the 4,600,000 Common Shares reported in this Schedule 13D (Amendment No. 5) pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement dated July 16, 2014 (the “NBC SPA”) between National Bank of Canada (“NBC”), as buyer, and PABTL, as Seller. In addition to the purchase price and other terms of the transaction, the NBC SPA contains certain representations and warranties by the parties customarily included in agreements of this type, including representations and warranties by NBC as to its non-U.S. status made to support PABTL’s offer and sale of the Common Shares to NBC without registration under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”) in an “offshore transaction” pursuant to Regulation S under the 1933 Act. NBC agreed that the Common Shares would include certain restrictions reflecting the limits on disposition of the Common Shares under the 1933 Act.

On July 16, 2014 (the “Trade Date”), PABTL entered into a total return swap transaction evidenced by an ISDA master agreement, credit support annex and transaction confirmation (collectively the “TRS Agreement”) with NBC. PABTL entered into the TRS Agreement and the NBC SPA for purposes of monetizing its position in the Common Shares while at the same time allowing it to retain the economic exposure to the position sold under the NBC SPA. Pursuant to the terms of the TRS Agreement, NBC sold to PABTL the total return on 4,600,000 Common Shares (the “Underlying Shares”) in exchange for a monthly payment calculated on a per diem basis for the number of days in the applicable calculation period by multiplying the notional amount of the transaction applicable for any particular day in the relevant calculation period by the sum of a designated LIBOR based rate with a maturity of one month and a spread of 1.25% divided by 360.

The initial price for the Underlying Shares is equal to $8.56 per share. The final price is the average of the modified volume weighted average price (as calculated pursuant to the TRS Agreement) applicable to each averaging day agreed to by the parties from and including February 15, 2017, weighted by the number of Underlying Shares that were reduced by NBC on the relevant averaging date minus a commission of US$0.02 per Underlying Share sold by NBC on such averaging date. On the applicable cash settlement date, the initial price of the Underlying Shares specified for the transaction shall be deducted from the final price for the Underlying Shares and such amount shall be multiplied by the number of Underlying Shares subject to the transaction. If the final price for the Underlying Shares exceeds the initial price for the Underlying Shares, such that the product of such determination is positive, NBC shall pay the amount so determined to PABTL. If the initial price for the Underlying Shares exceeds the final price for the Underlying Shares, such that the product of such determination is negative, PABTL shall pay the absolute value of the amount so determined to NBC. To the extent that there are any dividends paid by the Issuer on the Common Shares, NBC will pay to PABTL an amount per Underlying Share equivalent to the per Share dividend paid by the Issuer.

NBC and PABTL have the right to terminate the transaction if it becomes illegal for PABTL to continue with the transaction. PABTL has the right to terminate the transaction in whole or in part at any time following the fortieth day following the effective date of the transaction and prior to the valuation date. In the case of early termination of the transaction the date designated for termination will be the valuation date in respect of the number of Underlying Shares subject to such early termination. If PABTL elects to terminate the transaction in circumstances not involving any illegality, PABTL will be required to pay to NBC a make-whole payment equal to the product of the terminated number of Underlying Shares, the initial price per Underlying Share and D/360 where “D” represents the number of calendar days from, but excluding, the optional early termination date, to and including the calendar day that falls on the day that is six months after the effective date of the transaction.

The TRS Agreement provides only for cash settlement. Neither PABTL nor any of its affiliates or associates shall have any voting or dispositive power with respect to any Underlying Shares and PABTL and its affiliates and associates disclaim beneficial ownership of any such securities.

On July 9, 2014, PABTL entered into a Forward Purchase and Sale Agreement with Oberon Capital Corporation for the purchase of 200,000 Common Shares of the Issuer for a total purchase price of CDN $1,714,280. The purchase is scheduled to close on July 22, 2014 and in any event no later than July 29, 2014. PABTL has the right, at its sole option, to terminate this agreement if the closing does not occur by July 29, 2014.
