DIRTT Environmental Solutions Ltd. (“
DIRTT” or the
“
Company”) (TSX: DRT; OTC: DRTTF), a leader in
industrialized construction, announced today that it has effected
certain amendments to the Company's offer to purchase and
accompanying issuer bid circular (the "
Offer and
Circular") dated February 15, 2024, in connection with its
previously announced substantial issuer bid and tender offer (the
"
Issuer Bid").
The amendments, the terms of which are set out
in a notice of variation (the "Notice of
Variation") and Amendment No. 1 to the Company's Tender
Offer Statement on Schedule TO (the "Schedule
TO-I/A"), each dated March 5, 2024, are solely to address
comments from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"SEC") in connection with its review of DIRTT's
Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO dated February 15, 2024 (the
"Schedule TO").
Under the Issuer Bid, the Company has offered to
repurchase for cancellation: (i) up to C$6,000,000 principal amount
of its issued and outstanding 6.00% convertible unsecured
subordinated debentures due January 31, 2026 (the “January
Debentures”); and (ii) up to C$9,000,000 principal amount
of its issued and outstanding 6.25% convertible unsecured
subordinated debentures due December 31, 2026 (the
“December Debentures,” and, together with the
January Debentures, the “Debentures”) (or such
larger principal amounts as the Company, in its sole discretion,
may determine it is willing to take‑up and pay for, subject to
applicable law).
The Issuer Bid remains otherwise subject to the
terms and conditions set forth in DIRTT's Offer and Circular and
Schedule TO, each initially dated February 15, 2024 and available
on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and EDGAR at www.sec.gov,
respectively, as amended by the Notice of Variation and the
Schedule TO-I/A. This Notice of Variation should be read in
conjunction with the Issuer Bid Documents (as defined herein).
The Notice of Variation and Schedule TO-I/A are
filed with the applicable securities regulators and available on
SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and EDGAR at www.sec.gov. The Notice of
Variation is expected to be mailed to holders of Debentures
("Debentureholders") in Canada and the U.S. on or
around March 6, 2024. Debentureholders are urged to review these
documents carefully as they contain important details with respect
to the procedures that Debentureholders must follow in order to
properly tender their Debentures.
The expiration date of the Issuer Bid is not
being extended. The Issuer Bid will continue to expire at 5:00 p.m.
(Toronto Time) on March 22, 2024, unless withdrawn or extended by
the Company.
DIRTT has retained Computershare Investor
Services Inc. ("Computershare") to act as
depositary for the Issuer Bid. Any questions or requests for
information may be directed to Computershare at 1 (800) 564-6253
(Toll Free within North America) or 1 (514) 982-7555 (outside North
America).
None of DIRTT, its directors, Computershare, or
any of their respective affiliates, makes any recommendation to any
Debentureholder as to whether to deposit or refrain from depositing
all or any portion of their Debentures under the offer.
Debentureholders must make their own decisions as to whether to
deposit or refrain from depositing their Debentures, and, if
deposited, the amount of their Debentures to deposit.
Debentureholders are strongly urged to review and evaluate
carefully all information in the Offer and Circular, as amended by
the Notice of Variation, and Schedule TO-I/A, as applicable, and in
DIRTT’s other filings available on SEDAR+ and EDGAR and to consult
their own financial, tax and legal advisors, and to make their own
decisions as to whether to deposit Debentures to the offer and, if
so, what principal amount of Debentures to deposit.
This press release is neither an offer to
purchase nor a solicitation of an offer to sell any Debentures. The
solicitation and the offer to purchase Debentures by the Company
will only be made pursuant to the Offer and Circular, Schedule TO,
and letter of transmittal, as amended by the Notice of Variation
and Schedule TO-I/A, as applicable, and other related documents
(collectively, the "Issuer Bid Documents"). The
Issuer Bid Documents will be available free of charge
at www.sec.gov. The Company’s other public filings with the
SEC, including Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on
Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K, are also available free
of charge on EDGAR at www.sec.gov and on the Company’s
website at www.DIRTT.com. Debentureholders are urged to
carefully read these materials prior to making any decision with
