Item 5.         Interest in Securities of the Issuer

 

(a)-(b) The aggregate number and percentage of Common Shares of the Company held by the Reporting Persons to which this Schedule 13D relates is 4,556,668 Common Shares, constituting approximately 10.00% of the Company’s currently outstanding Common Shares.  The percentage of Common Shares of the Company is based on an aggregate number of Common Shares of the Company of 45,566,680 outstanding as of April 13, 2016, based on the information provided by the Company in the 10-Q.  The Reporting Persons have shared voting power and shared dispositive power over the aforementioned Common Shares.

 

Neither the filing of this Schedule 13D nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission by any of the Reporting Persons that he or it is the member of a “group” for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder, or for any other purpose.

 

(c)  Schedule VII hereto, which is incorporated herein by reference, sets forth the transactions in Common Shares of the Company that were effected in the past 60 days by the Reporting Persons.

 

(d)  Brookfield has the right to receive dividends from, and the proceeds from the sale of, the shares of the Common Shares covered by this Schedule 13D. No other person is known to the Reporting Persons to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the shares of the Common Shares covered by this Schedule 13D.

 

(e) Not applicable.

 

Item 6.         Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer

 

As of September 12, 2016, 251091708 owns cash-settled total return swap agreements (the “Swap Agreements”) that it has entered into with a counterparty with an expiration of October 10, 2017, covering 211,027 notional shares of the Company’s Common Shares (the “Referenced Shares”). The Swap Agreements may only be settled by cash settlement and 251091708 does not have any right to physical settlement. The Swap Agreements provide 251091708 with economic results that are comparable to the economic ownership of the Referenced Shares.  None of the Swap Agreements give the Reporting Persons direct or indirect voting, investment or dispositive control over any securities of the Company or requires the counterparty thereto to acquire, hold, vote or dispose of any securities of the Company. Supplemental financial terms of these contracts are detailed in Schedule VII for transactions in the last 60 days.

 

Except as described herein, the Reporting Persons have no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) with respect to any securities of the Company.
