In addition, the resolution with respect to the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the auditors and the special resolution approving an amendment to the Company's articles of incorporation to consolidate its issued and outstanding common shares ("Common Shares") on the basis of one post-consolidation Common Share for every ten pre-consolidation Common Shares, both as further described in the Circular, were passed at the Meeting. For additional details on the voting results with respect to these matters please refer to the Report of Voting Results of the Company which is filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
The Company is also pleased to announce that the Company's Board of Directors has authorized the implementation of the Consolidation, effective on or about June 27, 2014.
The approximately 494 million Common Shares currently outstanding will be reduced to approximately 49.4 million Common Shares, as approved by shareholders at the Meeting. No fractional shares will be issued. Any fractions of a share will be rounded down to the nearest number of Common Shares that is a multiple of 10. The exercise or conversion price and the number of Common Shares issuable under any of the Company's outstanding stock options, restricted share rights and warrants will be proportionately adjusted upon consolidation. A letter of transmittal will be sent to registered shareholders providing instructions to surrender the certificates evidencing their Common Shares for replacement certificates representing the number of Common Shares to which they are entitled as a result of the Consolidation. Until surrendered, each certificate representing Common Shares prior to the Consolidation will be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of Common Shares to which the holder thereof is entitled as a result of the Consolidation.
The Consolidation has received conditional approval from the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX"). The Common Shares will continue to be traded on the TSX under the symbol "INV" on a post-consolidation basis, under a new CUSIP number - 46123C207. The Company's Common Shares are expected to begin trading on a post-consolidation basis on the TSX when markets open on July 2, 2014.
