CLIMB 26 Statutory Rights Rescission - General Statement and Ontario. Securities legislation in certain of the provinces of Canada provides purchasers with rights of rescission or damages, or both, where an offering memorandum or any amendment to it contains a misrepresentation. A "misrepresentation" is an untrue statement of a material fact or an omission to state a material fact that is required to be stated or that is necessary to make any statement not misleading or false in the light of the circumstances in which it was made. These remedies must be commenced by the purchaser within the time limits prescribed and are subject to the defenses contained in the applicable securities legislation. Each purchaser should refer to the provisions of the applicable securities laws for the particulars of these rights or consult with a legal advisor. The following rights are in addition to and without derogation from any other right or remedy which purchasers may have at law and are intended to correspond to the provisions of the relevant securities laws and are subject to the defenses contained therein. The following summaries are subject to the express provisions of the applicable securities statutes and instruments in the below- referenced provinces and the regulations, rules and policy statements thereunder and reference is made thereto for the complete text of such provisions. ONTARIO INVESTORS Under Ontario securities legislation, certain purchasers who purchase securities offered by an offering memorandum during the period of distribution will have a statutory right of action for damages, or while still the owner of the securities, for rescission against the issuer or any selling security holder if the offering memorandum contains a misrepresentation without regard to whether the purchasers relied on the misrepresentation. The right of action for damages is exercisable not later than the earlier of 180 days from the date the purchaser first had knowledge of the facts giving rise to the cause of action and three years from the date on which payment is made for the securities. The right of action for rescission is exercisable not later than 180 days from the date on which payment is made for the securities. If a purchaser elects to exercise the right of action for rescission, the purchaser will have no right of action for damages against the issuer or any selling security holder. In no case will the amount recoverable in any action exceed the price at which the securities were offered to the purchaser and if the purchaser is shown to have purchased the securities with knowledge of the misrepresentation, the issuer and any selling security holder will have no liability. In the case of an action for damages, the issuer and any selling security holder will not be liable for all or any portion of the damages that are proven to not represent the depreciation in value of the securities as a result of the misrepresentation relied upon. These rights are not available for a purchaser that is (a) a Canadian financial institution or a Schedule III Bank (each as defined in National Instrument 45-106 - Prospectus Exemptions), (b) the Business Development Bank of Canada incorporated under the Business Development Bank of Canada Act (Canada), or (c) a subsidiary of any person referred to in paragraphs (a) and (b), if the person owns all of the voting securities of the subsidiary, except the voting securities required by law to be owned by directors of that subsidiary. These rights are in addition to, and without derogation from, any other rights or remedies available at law to an Ontario purchaser. The foregoing is a summary of the rights available to an Ontario purchaser. Not all defenses upon which an issuer, selling security holder or others may rely are described herein. Ontario purchasers should refer to the complete text of the relevant statutory provisions
