Information about the CCAA proceeding, including copies of the Circular and all court orders, are available at the following website http://cfcanada.fticonsulting.com/jaguar.

Effect of the Plan

Common shares of the Company (the "Common Shares") were issued as follows as a result of the implementation of the Plan:

• Holders (the "Noteholders") of the Company's 4.5% Senior Unsecured Convertible Notes due November 1, 2014 ("4.5% Convertible Notes") and 5.5% Senior Unsecured Convertible Notes due March 31, 2016 (together with the 4.5% Convertible Notes, the "Convertible Notes") and other affected unsecured creditors of the Company with proven claims received their pro rata share of 14,000,000 Common Shares in exchange for their Notes and in satisfaction of their claims, respectively, and Noteholders who signed a support agreement in respect of the Plan, or a consent agreement thereto, as of November 26, 2013 received their pro rata share of an additional 5,000,000 Common Shares in exchange for their Notes. Pursuant to the Plan, the Convertible Notes and the indentures governing such Convertible Notes were irrevocably and finally cancelled and all unsecured claims of affected unsecured creditors of the Company were fully and finally released.
  
  
• Noteholders who elected to participate in a backstopped US$50 million share offering (the "Share Offering") purchased up to their pro rata share of 70,955,797 Common Shares (the "Offering Shares") and such Noteholders received their pro rata share of 9,044,203 Common Shares (the "Accrued Interest Offering Shares") (based on the percentage that the unpaid interest on their Notes bore to the aggregate of all unpaid interest owing to all Noteholders who participated in the Share Offering as at December 31, 2013) in exchange for their Notes.
  
  
• Noteholders who agreed to backstop the Share Offering by committing to purchase their pro rata share (based on their backstop commitments) of the Offering Shares not subscribed for under the Share Offering received their pro rata share of an additional 11,111,111 Common Shares (the "Backstop Commitment Shares") in exchange for their Notes.

In connection with and as a step in the Plan, the Common Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the implementation of the Plan were consolidated at a ratio of one (1) post-consolidation Common Share for each 86.39636 pre-consolidation Common Shares (the "Consolidation"). Any fractional Common Shares resulting from the Consolidation were rounded down to the next whole share without any additional compensation therefor. As a result of the implementation of the Plan, such shareholders represent approximately 0.9% of the equity of Jaguar in the aggregate. A letter of transmittal with respect to the Consolidation will be mailed to such shareholders which letter sets out instructions as to how registered shareholders can receive certificates representing post-Consolidation Common Shares. The shareholder rights plan dated May 2, 2013 and all rights issued thereunder were cancelled pursuant to the terms of the Plan.

As a result of the implementation of the Plan, there are currently 111,106,262 Common Shares issued and outstanding.

Information Concerning Jaguar Following Implementation of the Plan

In connection with the Plan, Jaguar negotiated amendments to certain terms of its US$30.0 million standby credit facility with Global Resource Fund (the "Lender"), as governed by a credit agreement made as of December 17, 2012 between Jaguar, as borrower, its subsidiaries, as guarantors, and the Lender (as amended from time to time, the "Renvest Facility"). On January 25, 2013, the Company made an initial drawdown of US$5.0 million on the Renvest Facility and on June 26, 2013, the Company drew down the remaining US$25.0 million on the Renvest Facility.

The Renvest Facility amendments provide, among other things, that:

• the maturity date of the Renvest Facility is extended to December 31, 2015 from July 25, 2014;
  
  
• mandatory repayments of US$1.0 million of principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest shall be made each month from and including July 2014 to and including November 2015, with the balance of all outstanding obligations to be repaid on December 31, 2015;
  
  
• the Lender shall have a right to convert up to $5.0 million of the outstanding obligations under the Renvest Facility into equity at a specified conversion price (subject to certain anti-dilution protections);
  
  
• the Lender shall have a right to participate in certain offerings of equity securities by the Company if the offering occurs at a prescribed price;
  
  
• the Company shall maintain certain minimum levels of cash on hand;
  
  
• Renvest shall be entitled to appoint an observer to the board of directors;
  
  
• the Company and the Lender shall have entered into a Right of First Refusal Agreement with respect to assignments of the Renvest Facility by the Lender; and
  
  
• existing breaches, defaults and events of default under the Renvest Facility were waived by the Lender. Certain events of default under the Renvest Facility were also amended to reflect the Company's current financial circumstances.

The Company will pay a fee of US$1.0 million in connection with the amendments to the Renvest Facility ($0.6 million payable in cash and $0.4 million payable as an increase in the principal amount of the Renvest Facility).

In connection with the above amendments, the Company agreed to repay immediately to the Lender $10.0 million on account of the outstanding obligations under the Renvest Facility. The above amendments are conditional upon, among other things, this repayment.

In connection with the above amendments, the Lender has waived its rights under the Renvest Facility to receive any portion of the net proceeds of the Share Offering, with the exception of the agreed upon US$10.0 million repayment described above.

The following table shows the effect of the Plan on Jaguar's consolidated capital structure, after accounting for the amendments to the Renvest Facility as described above:

In addition to the pro forma financial information provided above, the Company estimates that its cash balance as of the implementation date (pro forma for the receipt of the Share Offering proceeds and payment of fees, expenses and additional amounts due to the Lender) is approximately US$36.5 million.
