There are currently 6,859,221 Non-Listed Warrants and 40,600,282 listed warrants (the "Listed Warrants") issued and outstanding. Following the Consolidation, each five (5) Non-Listed Warrants will entitle the holder to purchase one post-consolidation Common Share at an aggregate exercise price of CA$5.00 per post-consolidation Common Share and each five (5) Listed Warrants will entitle the holder to purchase one post-consolidation Common Share at an aggregate exercise price of CA$3.50 per post-consolidation Common Share. Both the Non-Listed Warrants and the Listed Warrants are exercisable at any time until September 29, 2013. The Company's Listed Warrants will continue to be traded on the TSXV under the symbol "LGC.WT" In accordance with the terms of the Warrant Indentures governing both the Non-Listed and the Listed Warrants, notice of the Consolidation has been sent to all holders of these warrants.
The Company has mailed letters of transmittal to the registered holders of its Common Shares, requesting that they forward their pre-consolidation Common Share certificates to the Company's transfer agent, Computershare Investor Services Inc., for exchange for new Common Share certificates representing their Common Shares on a post-consolidation basis.
