Investing in the Debentures involves significant risks.
Prospective investors should carefully review the risks outlined in this short form prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference herein before purchasing the Debentures. See
Risk
Factors
.
This prospectus qualifies for distribution under applicable Canadian securities laws the Rights and the
Debentures issuable on the exercise of the Rights (collectively, the
Offered Securities
) in each of the provinces and territories of Canada and also covers the offer and sale of the Debentures issuable upon exercise of the Rights
within the United States (together with each of the provinces and territories of Canada, the
Eligible Jurisdictions
) under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
U.S. Securities Act
). However,
notwithstanding registration under the U.S. Securities Act, the securities or blue sky laws of certain states may not permit or may limit the Companys ability to offer Rights and/or Debentures in such states, or to certain persons in those
states. The Company will only offer Rights in states where, and to such persons to whom, it is legally permitted to do so.
None of the
Offered Securities have been qualified under the securities laws of any jurisdiction outside the Eligible Jurisdictions (an
Ineligible Jurisdiction
) and, except under the circumstances described herein, the Rights may not be
exercised by or on behalf of a holder of Rights resident in an Ineligible Jurisdiction (an
Ineligible Holder
). This prospectus is not, and under no circumstances is to be construed as, an offering of any of the Offered Securities
for sale in any Ineligible Jurisdiction or a solicitation therein or thereto of an offer to buy any securities. Rights Certificates will not be sent to any Shareholder with an address of record in an Ineligible Jurisdiction. Instead, such Ineligible
Holders will be sent a letter advising them that their Rights Certificates will be held by the Subscription Agent, who will hold such Rights as agent for the benefit of all such Ineligible Holders. See
Description of the Rights
Ineligible Holders
.
This offering is made by a Canadian issuer that is permitted, under a multijurisdictional disclosure
system adopted by the United States and Canada, to prepare this prospectus in accordance with the disclosure requirements of Canada. Prospective purchasers of securities should be aware that such requirements are different from those of the United
States. Financial statements included or incorporated herein have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, and are subject to Canadian auditing and auditor independence standards, and thus may not be comparable
to financial statements of United States companies.
Prospective investors should be aware that the acquisition or disposition of the
securities described in this prospectus may have tax consequences both in the United States and Canada. Such consequences for investors who are resident in, or citizens of, the United States are not described herein. Such investors should consult
their own tax advisors.
The enforcement by investors of civil liabilities under United States federal securities laws may be affected
adversely by the fact that the Company is incorporated under the laws of Ontario, that some or all of its officers and directors may be residents of a country other than the United States, that some or all of the experts named in the registration
statement may be residents of Canada, and that all or a substantial portion of the assets of the Company and said persons may be located outside the United States.
These securities have not been approved or disapproved by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the
SEC
)
nor has the SEC passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offence.
The
Rights may be transferred only in transactions outside of the United States in accordance with Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act (
Regulation S
).
There is currently no market through which the Rights or the Debentures may be sold, and purchasers of Debentures may not be able to resell
Debentures acquired pursuant to the exercise of Rights or otherwise. There can be no assurance that an active trading market will develop for the Rights or the Debentures or, if developed, that such a market will be sustained. To the extent that an
active trading market for the Rights or the Debentures does not develop, the pricing of the Rights or the Debentures in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices and the liquidity of the Rights or the Debentures may
be adversely affected. See
Risk Factors
.
No underwriter has been involved in the preparation of this
prospectus or performed any review of the contents of this prospectus.
The currently outstanding Common Shares are listed and posted
for trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the
TSX
) under the symbol CSU.
The closing of the Offering will be conditional on the listing of the Rights and Debentures on the TSX.
Computershare Trust Company of Canada (the
Subscription Agent
), at its
principal offices in the City of Toronto (the
Subscription Offices
), is the subscription agent for this Offering. See
Description of the Rights Subscription Agent
.
For Common Shares held in registered form, the Company will mail or cause to be mailed to each Shareholder a Rights Certificate evidencing the
number of Rights issued to the holder thereof, together with a copy of this prospectus. In order to exercise the Rights represented by the Rights Certificate, a holder of Rights must complete and deliver Form 1 of the Rights Certificate to the
Subscription Agent in the manner and upon the terms set out in this prospectus. See
Description of the Rights of the Offering Common Shares Held in Registered Form
.
For Common Shares held through a securities broker or dealer, bank or trust company or other participant (a
CDS
Participant
) in the book-based system administered by CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. (
CDS
), a holder of Rights may exercise the Rights issued in respect of such Common Shares by (a) instructing the CDS
Participant holding such Rights to exercise all or a specified number of such Rights and (b) forwarding to such CDS Participant the subscription price for each Debenture that such Shareholder wishes to subscribe for in accordance with the terms
of this Offering. Subscriptions for Debentures made through a CDS Participant will be irrevocable and subscribers will be unable to withdraw their subscriptions for Debentures once submitted. See
Description of the Rights Common
Shares Held Through CDS
.
The Company will not issue any Debentures unless a minimum of C$50,000,000 principal amount of
Debentures will be issuable upon the exercise of Rights by the holders thereof.
If the minimum offering amount is not achieved, the Subscription Agent will return all funds received from holders of Rights without any deductions.

ELIGIBILITY FOR INVESTMENT
In the opinion of McCarthy Tétrault LLP, counsel to the Company based on the provisions of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the
Tax Act
) at the date hereof and provided (I) the Rights are listed on a designated stock exchange within the meaning of the Tax Act (which currently includes the TSX) and (II) either the Company is a public
corporation within the meaning of the Tax Act or the Debentures are listed on a designated stock exchange, the Rights and Debentures would, if issued on the date hereof, be qualified investments under the Tax Act for a trust
governed by a registered retirement savings plan (
RRSP
), a registered retirement income fund (
RRIF
), a deferred profit sharing plan (except, in the case of Debentures, a deferred profit sharing plan to which the
Company, or an employer that does not deal at arms length with the Company, has made a contribution), a tax free savings account (
TFSA
), a registered disability savings plan and a registered education savings plan, each as
defined in the Tax Act.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Rights or Debentures are prohibited investments for the
purposes of an RRSP, RRIF or TFSA, the holder of the TFSA or the annuitant of the RRSP or RRIF, as the case may be, will be subject to a penalty tax as set out in the Tax Act. Neither the Rights nor the Debentures will be a prohibited
investment provided the holder of the TFSA or the annuitant of the RRSP or RRIF, as the case may be, deals at arms length with the Company for purposes of the Tax Act and does not have a significant interest (within the meaning of the
Tax Act) in the Company. Annuitants of an RRSP or RRIF and holders of a TFSA should consult their own tax advisors to ensure the Rights and Debentures will not be a prohibited investment in their particular circumstances.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements in this prospectus may contain forward-looking statements which involve risks, uncertainties and other factors
which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company or industry to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. When used in this
prospectus, words such as may, will, expect, believe, plan, intend, should, anticipate and other similar terminology are intended to identify
forward-looking statements. These statements reflect current assumptions and expectations regarding future events and operating performance and speak only as of the date of this prospectus. Forward-looking statements involve significant risks and
uncertainties, should not be read as guarantees of future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indications of whether or not such results will be achieved. A number of factors could cause actual results to vary significantly
from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, the factors discussed under
Risk Factors
. Although the forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus are based upon what
management of the Company believes are reasonable assumptions, the Company cannot assure investors that actual results will be consistent with these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this
prospectus, and the Company assumes no obligation to update or revise them to reflect new events or circumstances, except as required by applicable securities laws.

DESCRIPTION OF THE RIGHTS
Rights and Rights Certificates
The
Company is issuing to each Shareholder of record at the close of business (Toronto time) on the Record Date one Right for each Common Share held by such Shareholder. Every 21.192 Rights entitle the holder thereof to subscribe for C$100 principal
amount of Debentures at a price of C$95.00 per C$100 principal amount of Debentures purchased. The Rights are fully divisible and fully transferable into and within Canada by the holders thereof.
The Rights may not be transferred to any person
within the United States. Shareholders in the United States who receive Rights may resell them only outside the United States in accordance with Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act. See
Sale or Transfer of
Rights
.
The Rights are evidenced by Rights Certificates registered in the name of the Shareholder entitled
thereto. Each Shareholder, other than an Ineligible Holder, will receive a Rights Certificate evidencing the total number of Rights to which such Shareholder is entitled. Subject to certain exceptions, Rights Certificates may not be held directly
by, and subscriptions for Debentures will not be accepted from, Ineligible Holders. See
Ineligible Holders
.
Shareholders that hold their Common Shares through a CDS Participant will not receive physical certificates evidencing their ownership of
Rights. On the Record Date, a global certificate representing Rights held through CDS Participants will be issued in registered form to, and in the name of, CDS or its nominee. See
Common Shares Held Through CDS
.
Subscription Privilege
Every 21.192
Rights entitle the holder thereof to subscribe for C$100 principal amount of Debentures prior to the Expiry Time on the Expiry Date at a price of C$95.00 per C$100 principal amount of Debentures purchased. Rights will be eligible for exercise
commencing on , 2014 (the
Commencement Date
). Rights not exercised by the Expiry Time on the Expiry Date will be void and of no further value. A holder of Rights that subscribes for some, but not all, of the Debentures which
such holder is entitled to subscribe for will be deemed to have elected to waive the unexercised balance of such Rights. For information on how to exercise the Subscription Privilege, see
Common Shares Held in Registered Form
How to Complete the Rights Certificate
.
4
Fractional Debentures will not be issued upon the exercise of Rights. Each holder of a Rights
Certificate which evidences a number of Rights not evenly divisible by 21.192 will have the right to round up the principal amount of Debentures it is entitled to subscribe for to the next nearest multiple of C$100.
Subscription Agent
Computershare Trust
Company of Canada (the
Subscription Agent
) has been appointed the agent of the Company to receive subscriptions and payments from holders of Rights and to perform certain services relating to the exercise and transfer of Rights.
Subscriptions and payments under the Offering should be sent to the Subscription Agent at:
Computershare Investor Services Inc.
PO Box 7021
31
Adelaide St E
Toronto ON M5C 3H2
Attn: Corporate Actions
The Subscription Agent can be reached by telephone at 1-800-564-6253 or 1-514-982-7555 or by e-mail at corporateactions@computershare.com.
Common Shares Held Through CDS
For
Common Shares held through a CDS Participant in the book-based system administered by CDS, a global certificate representing the aggregate number of Rights held through CDS Participants will be issued in registered form to CDS and will be deposited
with CDS on the Commencement Date. Each Shareholder who holds Common Shares through a CDS Participant (a
Beneficial Shareholder
) will receive a confirmation of the number of Rights issued to such holder from its CDS Participant in
accordance with the practices and procedures of that CDS Participant. CDS will be responsible for establishing and maintaining book-entry accounts for CDS Participants holding Rights.
In order to exercise Rights held through a CDS Participant, a Beneficial Shareholder must (a) instruct the CDS Participant holding such
Rights to exercise all or a specified number of such Rights and (b) forward to such CDS Participant the Subscription Price for each Debenture that such Beneficial Shareholder wishes to subscribe for. Subscriptions for Debentures made through a
CDS Participant will be irrevocable and subscribers will be unable to withdraw their subscriptions for Debentures once submitted.
The
Subscription Price for Rights held through a CDS Participant is payable in Canadian dollars by certified cheque, bank draft or money order payable to the CDS Participant by direct debit from the subscribers brokerage account or by electronic
funds transfer or other similar payment mechanism. The entire Subscription Price for any Rights exercised must be paid at the time of subscription and must be received by the Subscription Agent at one of the Subscription Offices prior to 4:30 p.m.
(Toronto time) on the Expiry Date. Accordingly, a holder of Rights held through a CDS Participant must deliver its payment and subscriptions sufficiently in advance of the Expiry Date to allow the CDS Participant through which such Rights are held
to properly exercise such Rights.
Neither the Company nor the Subscription Agent will have any liability for: (a) the records
maintained by CDS or CDS Participants relating to the Rights or the book-entry accounts maintained by them; (b) maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such Rights; or (c) any advice or representations made or given
by CDS or CDS Participants with respect to the rules and regulations of CDS or any action to be taken by CDS or CDS Participants.
The
ability of a person having an interest in Rights held through a CDS Participant to pledge such interest or otherwise take action with respect to such interest (other than through a CDS Participant) may be limited due to the lack of a physical
certificate. Beneficial Shareholders must arrange purchases or transfers of Rights through their CDS Participant.
Common Shares Held in Registered
Form
Shareholders who hold Common Shares in registered form (
Registered Shareholders
) will be mailed a copy of this
prospectus and a Rights Certificate representing the total number of Rights to which each such Shareholder is entitled to receive.
5
In order to exercise Rights represented by the Rights Certificate, Registered Shareholders must complete and deliver the Rights Certificate in accordance with the instructions set out under
Common Shares Held in Registered Form
How to Complete the Rights Certificate
.
Rights not
exercised by 4:30 p.m. (Toronto time) on the Expiry Date will be void and of no value. The Subscription Price for Rights exercised by Registered Shareholders is payable in Canadian dollars by certified cheque, bank draft or money order payable to

How to Complete the Rights Certificate
|
1.
|
Form 1 Subscription Privilege. Every 21.192 Rights entitle the holder thereof to subscribe for C$100 principal amount of Debentures at a
price of C$95.00 per C$100 principal amount of Debentures purchased. The maximum number of Rights that may be exercised pursuant to the Subscription Privilege is shown in the box on the upper right hand corner of the face of the Rights Certificate.
If Form 1 on the Rights Certificate is completed so as to exercise some but not all of the Rights represented by a Rights Certificate, the holder of such Rights Certificate will be deemed to have waived the unexercised balance of such Rights, unless
the Subscription Agent is otherwise specifically advised by such holder at the time the Rights Certificate is surrendered that the Rights are to be transferred to a third party or are to be retained by the holder.
|
Only subscriptions for whole Debentures will be accepted. Each holder of a Rights Certificate which evidences a number of
Rights not evenly divisible by 21.192 will have the right to round up the principal amount of Debentures it is entitled to subscribe for to the next nearest multiple of C$100.
Completion of Form 1 on the Rights Certificate constitutes a representation by the holder thereof that the holder is not a
resident or national of an Ineligible Jurisdiction and is not an Ineligible Holder or an agent of a person who is a national or resident of an Ineligible Jurisdiction or an Ineligible Holder.
|
2.
|
Form 2 Transfer of Rights. Only a holder of Rights who wishes to transfer the Rights represented by a Rights Certificate should complete and
sign Form 2 on the Rights Certificate. To complete a transfer, a holder of Rights must complete Form 2 on the Rights Certificate and have its signature guaranteed by a Schedule I bank, a major trust company in Canada, or a member of an acceptable
Medallion Signature Guarantee Program (including STAMP, SEMP, and MSP). Members of STAMP are usually members of a recognized stock exchange in Canada or members of the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada. The guarantor must affix a
stamp bearing the actual words Signature Guaranteed. It is not necessary for a transferee to obtain a new Rights Certificate to exercise the Rights, but the signature of the transferee on Form 1 must correspond in every particular with
the name of the transferee (or the bearer if no transferee is specified) as the absolute owner of the Rights Certificate for all purposes. If Form 2 is completed, the Company and the Subscription Agent will treat the transferee as the absolute owner
of the Rights Certificate for all purposes and will not be affected by notice to the contrary.
|
|
3.
|
The Rights may be transferred only in transactions outside of the United States in accordance with Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act,
which will permit the resale of the Rights to a person outside the United States where neither the seller nor any person acting on its behalf knows that the transaction has been prearranged with a buyer in the United States, and no directed
selling efforts, as that term is defined in Regulation S, are conducted in the United States in connection with the resale. Certain additional conditions are applicable to the Companys affiliates, as that term is defined
under the U.S. Securities Act.
|
|
4.
|
Form 3 Dividing or Combining. Only a holder of Rights who wishes to divide or combine the Rights represented by a Rights Certificate should
complete and sign Form 3 on the Rights Certificate. Rights Certificates need not be endorsed if the new Rights Certificate(s) will be issued in the same name. The Subscription Agent will then issue a new Rights Certificate in such denominations
(totalling the same number of Rights as represented by the Rights Certificate(s) being divided or combined) as are required by the Rights Certificate holder. Rights Certificates must be surrendered for division or combination in sufficient time
prior to the Expiry Time to permit the new Rights Certificates to be issued to and used by the Rights Certificate holder.

Payment. The Subscription Price of C$95.00 per Debenture, is payable in Canadian funds by certified cheque, bank draft or money order payable to
the order of Computershare Trust Company of Canada or by electronic funds transfer or other similar payment mechanism acceptable to the Subscription Agent.

Delivery. Holders of Rights who exercise their right to subscribe for Debentures must complete and mail the enclosed Rights Certificate to the
Subscription Agent, together with payment of the Subscription Price, in the enclosed return envelope. The completed Rights Certificate and payment of the Subscription Price must be received by the Subscription Agent by no later than 4:30 p.m.
(Toronto time) on the Expiry Date. If mailing, registered mail is recommended. Please allow sufficient time to avoid late delivery.
|
The signature of the holder of a Rights Certificate must correspond in every particular with the name that appears on the face of the Rights
Certificate. Signatures by a trustee, executor, administrator, guardian, attorney, officer of a company or any person acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity should be accompanied by evidence of authority satisfactory to the Subscription
Agent. All questions as to the validity, form, eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance of any subscription will be determined by the Company in its sole discretion, and any determination by the Company will be final and binding on the
Company and its securityholders. Upon delivery or mailing of the completed Rights Certificate to the Subscription Agent, the exercise of the Rights and the subscription for Debentures is irrevocable. The Company reserves the right to reject any
subscription if it is not in proper form or if the acceptance thereof or the issuance of Debentures pursuant thereto could be unlawful. The Company also reserves the right to waive any defect in respect of any particular subscription. Neither the
Company nor the Subscription Agent is under any duty to give any notice of any defect or irregularity in any subscription, nor will they be liable for the failure to give any such notice.
If a holder of a Right has any questions with respect to the proper exercise of Rights, such holder should contact the Subscription Agent at
1-800-564-6253 or 1-514-982-7555 or by e-mail at corporateactions@computershare.com.
Undeliverable Rights
Rights Certificates returned to the Subscription Agent as undeliverable will not be sold by the Subscription Agent and no proceeds of sale will
be credited to such holders.
Sale or Transfer of Rights
A holder of Rights in registered form may sell or transfer some or all of such Rights to any person who is not an Ineligible Holder. A holder
who wishes to transfer some or all of its Rights must complete Form 2 on the Rights Certificate and have its signature guaranteed by a Schedule I bank, a major trust company in Canada, or a member of an acceptable Medallion Signature Guarantee
Program (including STAMP, SEMP, and MSP). See
Common Shares Held in Registered Form
How to Complete the Rights Certificate
. Holders who hold their Rights through a CDS Participant must arrange purchases
or transfers of Rights through their CDS Participant.
Dividing or Combining Rights Certificates
Rights Certificates may be divided or combined by completing Form 2 on the Rights Certificate and delivering the Rights Certificate to the
Subscription Agent in sufficient time prior to the Expiry Time to permit the new Rights Certificates to be issued to and used by the Rights Certificate holder. See

Ineligible Holders
This prospectus covers the distribution of the Offered Securities in the Eligible Jurisdictions only. However, notwithstanding registration
under the U.S. Securities Act, the securities or blue sky laws of certain states may not permit or may limit the Companys ability to offer Rights and/or Debentures in such states, or to certain persons in those states. The Company will only
offer Rights in states where, and to such persons to whom, it is legally permitted to do so. Rights Certificates will not be sent to any Shareholders with addresses of record in an Ineligible Jurisdiction and, except as described herein, Rights may
not be exercised by or on behalf of any Shareholders with addresses of record in an Ineligible Jurisdiction. Instead, Ineligible Holders will be sent a copy of this prospectus together with a letter advising them that their Rights Certificates will
be held by the
7
Subscription Agent as agent for the benefit of all such Ineligible Holders. The letter will also set out the conditions required to be met, and procedures that must be followed, in order for
Ineligible Holders to participate in the Offering.
Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, the Company may accept subscriptions from
Ineligible Holders if the Company determines that the offering to and subscription by such person is lawful and in compliance with all securities and other laws applicable in the Ineligible Jurisdiction where such person is resident (each an
Approved Eligible Holder
). Shareholders who have not received Rights Certificates but are resident in an Eligible Jurisdiction or wish to be recognized as Approved Eligible Holders should contact the Subscription Agent at the
earliest possible time. Rights of Shareholders with addresses of record in an Ineligible Jurisdiction will be held by the Subscription Agent until 4:30 p.m. (Toronto time) on , 2014 in order to provide such holders with the opportunity to
satisfy the Company that (i) the holder is resident in an Eligible Jurisdiction or (ii) the exercise of their Rights will not be in violation of securities and other laws applicable in the Ineligible Jurisdiction where such person is
resident. After such time, the Subscription Agent will attempt to sell the Rights of such registered Ineligible Holders on the open market on such date or dates and at such price or prices as the Subscription Agent will determine in its sole
discretion.
No charge will be made for the sale of Rights on behalf of Ineligible Holders by the Subscription Agent except for a
proportionate share of any brokerage commissions incurred by the Subscription Agent and the costs of or incurred by the Subscription Agent in connection with the sale of the Rights. The proceeds from the sale of Rights by the Subscription Agent (net
of brokerage fees and selling expenses and, if applicable, costs incurred and Canadian withholding taxes) will be divided on a
pro rata
basis among registered Ineligible Holders and delivered to such Ineligible Holders as soon as reasonably
practicable, provided that amounts of less than C$100 will not be remitted. The Subscription Agent will act in its capacity as agent of the registered Ineligible Holders on a best efforts basis only and the Company and the Subscription Agent do not
accept responsibility for the price obtained on the sale of Rights or the inability of the Subscription Agent to sell the Rights. Neither the Company nor the Subscription Agent will be subject to any liability for or in connection with the sale of,
or failure to sell, any Rights on behalf of Ineligible Holders. There is a risk that the proceeds received from the sale of Rights issued in respect of Common Shares held by Ineligible Holders will not exceed the costs of or incurred by the
Subscription Agent in connection with the sale of such Rights, in which case no proceeds will be remitted to Ineligible Holders.
Holders of Rights who are not resident in Canada should be aware that the acquisition and
disposition of any of the Offered Securities may have tax consequences in Canada and in the jurisdiction in which they reside which are not described in this prospectus. Such holders should consult their own tax advisors about the specific tax
consequences of acquiring, holding and disposing of the Offered Securities.
Debenture Certificates
Debentures issued in connection with the Rights Offering will be registered in the name of the person to whom the Rights Certificate was issued
or to whom the Rights have been properly and duly transferred. The certificates representing such Debentures will be delivered by mail to the address of the subscriber as it appears on the Rights Certificate, unless otherwise directed, or to the
address of the transferee, if any, indicated on the appropriate form on the Rights Certificate as soon as practicable after the Expiry Date. Except as otherwise described under
Ineligible Holders
, Debentures will not
be issued to or on behalf of any holders of Rights with addresses of record in an Ineligible Jurisdiction.
Holders of Rights that hold
their Rights through a CDS Participant will not receive physical certificates evidencing their ownership of Debentures issued upon the exercise of Rights. Upon the closing of the Offering, a global certificate representing such Debentures will be
issued in registered form to, and in the name of, CDS or its nominee.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DEBENTURES
The following description of the Debentures is a brief summary of their material attributes and characteristics. The following summary uses
words and terms which are defined in the trust indenture to be entered into on or prior to the closing of the Offering between the Company and Computershare Trust Company of Canada (the
Debenture Trustee
) in respect of the
Debentures, as amended or supplemented from time to time (the
Indenture
). This summary does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by, reference to the terms of the Indenture.
8
The Debentures will be issued as a single series under and pursuant to the provisions of the
Indenture. The Company may, from time to time, without the consent of Debentureholders, issue additional Debentures or other debentures in addition to the Debentures offered hereby.
The Debentures will be dated as of the closing of the Offering and will have a maturity date of March 31, 2040 (the
Maturity
Date
). The Debentures will be issuable only in denominations of C$100 and integral multiples thereof.
The Debentures will be
direct obligations of CSI and will not be secured by any mortgage, pledge, hypothec or other charge and will be subordinated to all Senior Indebtedness of the Company as described under
Description of the Debentures
Subordination
. The Indenture does not restrict CSI from incurring additional Senior Indebtedness at any time or from time to time or other indebtedness or otherwise mortgaging, pledging or charging its real or personal property or
properties to secure any indebtedness or other financing. The Debentures will rank
pari passu
with every other series of debentures that have been issued, or may hereafter be issued, under the Indenture including the Debentures.
Interest Rate
From and including
the date of issue to but excluding March 31, 2015, the Debentures will bear interest at a rate of 7.4% per annum (the
Initial Rate
). From and including March 31, 2015 to but excluding the Maturity Date, the interest
rate applicable to the Debentures will be reset on an annual basis on March 31 of each year, at a rate equal to the Cost of Living Adjustment (as defined below) (which amount may be positive or negative) plus 6.5% (
Floating
Interest
).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the interest rate applicable to the Debentures will at no time be less than 0%.
Interest, if any, will be payable quarterly in arrears in equal instalments on
March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 in each year, commencing on March 31, 2015. The first interest payment will include interest accrued from and including the date of the closing of the Offering to,
but excluding, March 31, 2015. The Initial Rate will only apply to the Debentures in respect of the first interest payment on March 31, 2015. Effective March 31, 2015, the interest payable on the Debentures will be based on the
applicable Floating Interest rate.
For the purposes hereof:
Cost of Living Adjustment
means, in any given year, the annual average percentage change in the CPI Index during the 12
month period ending on December 31 in the prior year.
CPI Index
means the index called the All-items
Consumer Price Index published by Statistics Canada in its monthly publication, adjusted for base year 2002 (2002=100) and rebased from time to time, provided that if the Government of Canada determines not to publish such index, then the
term CPI Index means whatever substitute index is used to determine the Government of Canadas obligations under its real return bonds if any Government of Canada real return bonds are then outstanding, or if there is no such index
or compilation, the term CPI Index means a similar measure determined by the Issuer, acting reasonably.
The principal and interest on the
Debentures will be payable in lawful money of Canada as specified in the Indenture.
Redemption and Purchase at the Option of the Company
The Company will not have any right to redeem the Debentures prior to March 31, 2015. As described below, on and after this date, the
Company will, on an annual basis, have a 15 day notice period within which to provide notice to holders of Debentures of its intention to redeem some or all of such Debentures on a date that is five years following the end of such notice period.
On March 31 of each year beginning on March 31, 2015, the Debentures may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at the option of the
Company on not more than five years and 15 days and not less than five years notice to holders of Debentures, at a price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest up to but excluding the date fixed for
redemption. For example, if the Company chooses to exercise its right to redeem the Debentures on March 31, 2015, the Company would be required to deliver notice of such redemption to holders of Debentures during the period beginning on
March 16, 2015 and ending on March 31, 2015, and the effective date of redemption would be March 31, 2020. Given the foregoing, the first possible redemption date is March 31, 2020.
9
The Companys ability to redeem the Debentures will be subject to compliance with the terms
of the Senior Indebtedness at the time of redemption and may be restricted in certain circumstances. See
Description of the Debentures Subordination and Risk Factors Prior Ranking Indebtedness
.
CSI will have the right to purchase Debentures in the market, by tender or by private contract subject to regulatory requirements;
provided, however, that if an Event of Default (as defined below) has occurred and is continuing, the Company will not have the right to purchase the Debentures by private contract.
In the case of redemption of less than all of the Debentures, the Debentures to be redeemed will be selected by the Debenture Trustee on a pro
rata basis or in such other manner as the Debenture Trustee deems equitable, subject to the consent of the TSX.
Investor Put Rights
Holders of Debentures will not have any right to require the Company to repurchase all or any portion of the Debentures prior to March 31,
2015. As described below, on and after this date, holders of Debentures will, on an annual basis, have a 15 day notice period within which to provide notice to the Company of its intention to redeem some or all of such Debentures on a date that is
five years following the end of such notice period.
On March 31 of each year beginning on March 31, 2015, holders of Debentures
may require the Company to repurchase (or may put) the Debentures, in whole or in part, on not more than five years and 15 days and not less than five years notice to the Company, at a price equal to the principal
amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest up to but excluding the date fixed for repurchase. For example, if a holder of Debentures chooses to exercise its right to have the Company repurchase such holders Debentures on March 31,
2015, the holder would be required to deliver notice of such repurchase to the Company during the period beginning on March 16, 2015 and ending on March 31, 2015, and the effective date of repurchase would be March 31, 2020. Given the
foregoing, the first possible repurchase date is March 31, 2020.
The Companys ability to repurchase the Debentures will
be subject to compliance with the terms of the Senior Indebtedness at the time of repurchase and may be restricted in certain circumstances. See
Description of the Debentures Subordination
and
Risk Factors Prior Ranking Indebtedness
. In addition, once a holder of Debentures has exercised its put right in respect of some or all of the Debentures held by such holder (the
Puttable
Debentures
), the Puttable Debentures will be held in escrow by the Debenture Trustee and will no longer be transferable over the facilities of any stock exchange or otherwise. See
Risk Factors Exercise of Put
Rights
.
Failure to Pay Interest on an Interest Payment Date
Common Share Dividend and Buyback Stopper.
If, on any interest payment date, the Company fails to pay the interest on the Debentures in
full, the Company will not (i) declare dividends of any kind on the Common Shares, nor (ii) participate in any share buyback or redemption involving the Common Shares, until the Company first pays such interest (or the unpaid portion
thereof) to holders of Debentures.
Interest Will Form Part of Principal Amount Outstanding.
Any unpaid interest in
respect of the Debentures that the Company fails to pay to the holders of Debentures on an interest payment date will form part of the principal amount of such Debentures (the
New Principal Amount
) and will be
subject to interest in accordance with the terms of the Debentures. The New Principal Amount will be due and payable on the occurrence of any event giving rise to the obligation of the Company to pay or cause the payment of the redemption price, as
the case may be, as part of such price and not prior thereto.
Payment upon Redemption or Maturity
On redemption or at the Maturity Date, CSI will repay the indebtedness represented by the Debentures by paying to the Debenture Trustee in
lawful money of Canada an amount equal to the principal amount of the outstanding Debentures, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon.
Cancellation
All Debentures redeemed or purchased as
described herein will be cancelled and may not be reissued or resold.
10
Subordination
The payment of the principal of, and interest on, the Debentures will be subordinated in right of payment, in the circumstances referred to
below and also more particularly as set forth in the Indenture, to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness of the Company.
Senior Indebtedness
of the Company is defined in the Indenture as all indebtedness of the
Company (whether outstanding as at the date of the Indenture or thereafter incurred) which, by the terms of the instrument creating or evidencing the indebtedness, is not expressed to be
pari passu
with, or subordinate in right of payment to,
the Debentures, which includes the Companys existing credit facility with a syndicate of Canadian chartered banks and U.S. banks in the amount of US$650 million (the
Credit Facility
). The Indenture does not limit the ability
of the Company to incur additional indebtedness, including additional Senior Indebtedness at any time or from time to time or other indebtedness or otherwise mortgaging, pledging or charging its real or personal property or properties to secure any
indebtedness or other financing.
The Indenture provides that in the event of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings, or any
receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar proceedings relative to the Company, or to its property or assets, or in the event of any proceedings for voluntary liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of the Company, whether or
not involving insolvency or bankruptcy, or any marshalling of the assets and liabilities of the Company, all creditors under any Senior Indebtedness will receive payment in full before the Debentureholders will be entitled to receive any payment or
distribution of any kind or character, including, without limitation, in cash, property or securities, which may be payable or deliverable in any such event in respect of any of the Debentures or any unpaid interest accrued thereon.
The Indenture also provides that neither the Debenture Trustee nor the Debentureholders shall be entitled to demand or otherwise attempt to
enforce in any manner, institute proceedings for the collection of, or institute any proceedings against the Company including, without limitation, by way of any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceedings or any proceeding for the appointment of
a receiver, liquidator, trustee or other similar official (it being understood and agreed that the Debenture Trustee and/or the Debentureholders shall be permitted to take any steps necessary to preserve the claims of the Debentureholders in any
such proceeding and any steps necessary to prevent the extinguishment or other termination of a claim or potential claim as a result of the expiry of a limitation period provided that any such steps do not interfere with the enforcement by any
holder of any Senior Indebtedness of its rights and remedies), or receive any payment or benefit in any manner whatsoever on account of indebtedness represented by the Debentures (the
Senior Indebtedness Postponement Provisions
)
without the prior written consent of the lenders under the Senior Indebtedness.
In addition to the foregoing, pursuant to the terms of
the Credit Facility, the Company will not be permitted to make any payment of principal or interest in respect of the Debentures unless both before and immediately after each such payment no event of default (as defined under the Credit Facility)
has occurred and is continuing, and provided further that the Company may only redeem or purchase Debentures for cancellation if, immediately after such redemption or purchase, the aggregate of the amount that the Company is entitled to borrow under
the Credit Facility plus available cash is equal to or greater than US$25,000,000.
Put Right upon a Change of Control
Upon the occurrence of a change of control of the Company involving the acquisition of voting control or direction of more than 50% of the
votes represented by the issued and outstanding Common Shares by any person or group of persons acting jointly or in concert (a
Change of Control
), each holder of Debentures may require the Company to purchase, on the date which
is 30 days following the giving of notice of the Change of Control as set out below (the
Change of Control Put Date
), the whole or any part of such holders Debentures at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof
(the
Change of Control Put Price
) plus accrued and unpaid interest up to, but excluding, the Change of Control Put Date.
If 90% or more of the aggregate principal amount of the Debentures outstanding on the date of the giving of notice of the Change of Control
have been tendered for purchase on the Change of Control Put Date, the Company will have the right to redeem all the remaining Debentures on such date at the Change of Control Put Price, together with accrued and unpaid interest to such date. Notice
of such redemption must be given to the Debenture Trustee prior to the Change of Control Put Date and, as soon as possible thereafter, by the Debenture Trustee to the holders of the Debentures not tendered for purchase.
11
Reinvestment Plan
Following Closing, subject to regulatory approval, the Company intends to adopt a reinvestment plan pursuant to which holders of Debentures
will be entitled to elect to have interest payable on the Debentures reinvested in additional Debentures, which Debentures will either be issued from treasury or purchased on the open market. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company reserves the
right to cancel any such plan at any time at its option.
Modification
The rights of the holders of the Debentures as well as any other series of debentures that may be issued under the Indenture may be modified in
accordance with the terms of the Indenture. For that purpose, among others, the Indenture contains certain provisions which will make binding on all Debentureholders resolutions passed at meetings of the holders of the debentures issued under the
Indenture by votes cast thereat by holders of not less than 66
2/3
% of the principal amount of the then outstanding debentures present at the meeting or represented by proxy, or rendered by
instruments in writing signed by the holders of not less than 66
2/3
% of the principal amount of the then outstanding debentures. In certain cases, the modification will, instead of or in addition
to the foregoing, require assent by the holders of the required percentage of debentures of each particularly affected series. Under the Indenture, the Debenture Trustee will have the right to make certain amendments to the Indenture in its
discretion, without the consent of the holders of Debentures.
Events of Default
The Indenture provides that an event of default (
Event of Default
) in respect of the Debentures will occur if certain events
described in the Indenture occur, including if any one or more of the following described events has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Debentures: (i) failure to pay principal or premium, if any, on the Debentures, whether at the
Maturity Date, upon redemption, by acceleration or otherwise; or (ii) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Company under bankruptcy or insolvency laws. Subject to the Senior Indebtedness Postponement Provisions, if
an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Debenture Trustee may, in its discretion, and shall, upon the request of holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Debentures, declare the principal of (and
premium, if any) and accrued interest on all outstanding Debentures to be immediately due and payable.
Governing Law
Each of the Indenture and the Debentures are governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the Province of Ontario applicable to
contracts executed and to be performed entirely in such Province.
CONSOLIDATED CAPITALIZATION
There have been no material changes in the Companys share or loan capital on a consolidated basis since March 31, 2014 to the date
of this prospectus. After giving effect to the Offering, a minimum of C$50,000,000 and a maximum of C$100,000,000 principal amount of the Debentures will be outstanding. The net proceeds from the Offering are expected to be used by the Company to
pay down existing indebtedness under the Credit Facility. See
Use of Proceeds
.
USE
OF PROCEEDS
The estimated net proceeds to the Company from the Offering, after deducting the expenses of the Offering estimated to be
approximately C$, will be approximately C$. The net proceeds from the Offering are expected to be used by the Company to pay down existing indebtedness under the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility may be used by the Company for general
corporate purposes, including acquisitions.
The Company intends to spend the funds available to the Company as stated in this short form
prospectus; however, there may be circumstances where, for sound business reasons, a reallocation of funds may be deemed prudent or necessary.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
Each Shareholder of record on the Record Date will receive one Right for each Common Share held. This prospectus qualifies
12
for distribution under applicable Canadian securities laws the Rights and the Debentures issuable on the exercise of the Rights in each of the provinces and territories of Canada, and also covers
the offer and sale of the Debentures issuable upon exercise of the Rights within the United States under the U.S. Securities Act. However, notwithstanding registration under the U.S. Securities Act, the securities or blue sky laws of certain states
may not permit or may limit the Companys ability to offer Rights and/or Debentures in such states, or to certain persons in those states. The Company will only offer Rights in states where, and to such persons to whom, it is legally permitted
to do so.
The Offered Securities have not been qualified under the securities laws of any jurisdiction other than the Eligible
Jurisdictions. Except as described herein, Rights may not be exercised by or on behalf of an Ineligible Holder. This prospectus is not, and under no circumstances is to be construed as, an offering of any of the Offered Securities for sale in any
Ineligible Jurisdiction or to Ineligible Holders or a solicitation therein or thereto of an offer to buy any securities. Rights Certificates will not be sent to any Shareholder with an address of record in an Ineligible Jurisdiction. Instead, such
Ineligible Holders will be sent a letter advising them that their Rights Certificates will be held by the Subscription Agent, who will hold such Rights as agent for the benefit of all such Ineligible Holders. See
Details of the Offering
Ineligible Holders
.
There is currently no market through which the Rights or the Debentures may be sold, and
purchasers of Debentures may not be able to resell Debentures acquired pursuant to the exercise of Rights or otherwise. There can be no assurance that an active trading market will develop for the Rights or the Debentures or, if developed, that such
a market will be sustained. To the extent that an active trading market for the Rights or the Debentures does not develop, the pricing of the Rights or the Debentures in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices and
the liquidity of the Rights or the Debentures may be adversely affected. The closing of the Offering will be conditional on the listing of the Rights and Debentures on the TSX.
The Company will not issue any Debentures unless a minimum of C$50,000,000 principal amount of Debentures will be issuable upon the
exercise of Rights by the holders thereof.
The Subscription Agent will hold in trust all funds received from the subscriptions until the minimum offering amount has been raised. If the minimum offering amount is not achieved, the Subscription
Agent will return the funds to the holders of Rights without any deductions.
13
CERTAIN CANADIAN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS
The following is a general summary, as of the date hereof, of the principal Canadian federal income tax considerations applicable to a holder
in respect of the receipt, exercise and disposition of Rights under the Offering and of acquiring, holding and disposing of Debentures received upon the exercise of Rights. This summary is only applicable to a holder of Rights who acquires such
rights under this Offering and a holder who acquires, as beneficial owner, Debentures pursuant to the exercise of Rights (a
Holder
) and who, for purposes of the Tax Act and at all relevant times, is resident or deemed to be
resident in Canada for purposes of the Tax Act, holds the Rights and Debentures as capital property and deals at arms length with, and is not affiliated with, the Company. Generally, the Rights and Debentures will be considered to be capital
property to a Holder provided the Holder does not hold the Debentures in the course of carrying on a business of trading or dealing in securities and has not acquired them in one or more transactions considered to be an adventure or concern in the
nature of trade.
Certain Holders who might not otherwise be considered to hold their Debentures (but not their Rights) as capital
property may, in certain circumstances, be entitled to have their Debentures and all other Canadian securities (as defined in the Tax Act) owned by such Holder in the taxation year of the election and in all subsequent taxation years
deemed to be capital property by making the irrevocable election permitted by subsection 39(4) of the Tax Act. Such Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding their particular circumstances.
This summary is not applicable to a Holder: (i) that is a financial institution, as defined in the Tax Act for purposes of
the mark to market rules; (ii) an interest in which would be a tax shelter investment; (iii) that is a specified financial institution; (iv) who makes or has made a functional currency reporting
election; or (v) that enters into a derivative forward agreement with respect to the Debentures (each as defined in the Tax Act).
Any such Holder should consult its own tax advisor with respect to the income tax consequences
associated with Rights and Debentures.
This summary is based upon the provisions of the Tax Act and the regulations promulgated
thereunder (the
Regulations
) in force as of the date hereof, all specific proposals to amend the Tax Act and the Regulations that have been publicly and officially announced by or on behalf of the Minister of Finance (Canada)
prior to the date hereof (the
Tax Proposals
) and Counsels understanding of the current administrative policies and assessing practices of the Canada Revenue Agency (
CRA
) published in writing by it prior to
the date hereof. This summary assumes the Tax Proposals will be enacted in the form proposed. However, no assurance can be given that the Tax Proposals will be enacted in their current form, or at all. This summary is not exhaustive of all possible
Canadian federal income tax considerations and, except for the Tax Proposals, does not take into account or anticipate any changes in the law or any changes in the CRAs administrative policies or assessing practices, whether by legislative,
governmental or judicial action or decision, nor does it take into account or anticipate any other federal or any provincial, territorial or foreign tax considerations, which may differ significantly from those discussed herein.
This summary is of a general nature only and is not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal or tax advice to any holder of
Rights or any prospective purchaser or holder of Debentures, and no representations with respect to the income tax consequences to any prospective purchaser or holder are made. Consequently, prospective purchasers or holders of Rights and Debentures
should consult their own tax advisors with respect to their particular circumstances.
Holders who are not residents of Canada
should consult their own tax advisors in connection with the Canadian federal income tax considerations relevant to acquiring, holding and disposing of Rights and Debentures.
Receipt of Rights
A Holder who receives
a Right pursuant to this Offering will be required to include the fair market value of such Right at the time of receipt in computing the Holders income for purposes of the Tax Act. The cost of the Right received for purposes of the Tax Act
will equal such amount included in the Holders income. In determining the adjusted cost base to the Holder of a Right, the cost of each Right held by a Holder will be averaged with the adjusted cost base of each other identical Right.
Exercise of Rights
The exercise of
Rights will not constitute a disposition of property for purposes of the Tax Act and, consequently, no gain or loss will be realized by a Holder upon the exercise of Rights. Debentures acquired by a Holder upon the exercise of Rights will have a
cost to the Holder equal to the aggregate of the subscription price paid by a Holder plus the adjusted cost base to the
14
Holder of the exercised Rights (if any). In determining the adjusted cost base to the Holder of a Debenture, the cost of each Debenture held by a Holder will be averaged with the adjusted cost
base of each other identical Debenture (determined in accordance with the Tax Act) held by the Holder.
Disposition of Rights
A Holder who disposes of or is deemed to dispose of a Right (otherwise than by exercise of the Right) will generally realize a capital gain (or
a capital loss) equal to the amount by which the proceeds of disposition, net of any reasonable costs of disposition, exceed (or are less than) the adjusted cost base of the Right to the Holder. The cost of a Right acquired by a Holder will be
averaged with the adjusted cost base of all other Rights held by that Holder as capital property for the purposes of determining the adjusted cost base to that Holder of each Right so held.
Expiry of Rights
The expiry of an
unexercised Right will result in a capital loss to a Holder equal to the adjusted cost base, if any, of the Right immediately before its expiry. Any such capital loss will be subject to the treatment described below under
Capital
Gains and Capital Losses
.
Interest on Debentures
Debentures are indexed debt obligations for purposes of the Tax Act. Accordingly, the normal rules which require certain taxpayers to include
interest in income on an accrual basis will not apply. Rather, a Holder of Debentures will be required to include in its income for each taxation year in which the Holder owned a Debenture any Initial Rate interest and Floating Interest which has
been received or become receivable by the Holder in that taxation year, depending upon the method regularly followed by the Holder in computing income, except to the extent that the Holder included such amounts in income for a preceding year.
The particular rules in the Tax Act relating to indexed debt obligations are complex. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors
concerning the application of such rules.
Dispositions of Debentures
A disposition or deemed disposition of a Debenture by a Holder, including redemption, or repayment on maturity should generally result in the
Holder realizing a capital gain (or capital loss) equal to the amount by which the proceeds of disposition are greater (or less) than the aggregate of the Holders adjusted cost base thereof and any reasonable costs of disposition. For this
purpose, proceeds of disposition generally will not include amounts required to be included in income as interest. Such capital gain (or capital loss) will be subject to the tax treatment described below under
Capital Gains and
Capital Losses
.
Upon a disposition or deemed disposition of a Debenture, interest (including amounts deemed to be interest)
accrued thereon to the date of disposition will be included in computing the income of the Holder as described above under
Interest on Debentures
, and will be excluded in computing the Holders proceeds of disposition
of the Debenture.
A Holder who has over-accrued interest income in respect of a Debenture generally will be entitled to a deduction in
computing the Holders income for the taxation year in which the Debenture is disposed of in an amount equal to such over accrued income.
Capital
Gains and Capital Losses
One-half of any capital gain realized by a Holder will be included in the Holders income as a
taxable capital gain and one-half of any capital loss (an
allowable capital loss
) realized by a Holder may generally be deducted only from taxable capital gains in accordance with the provisions of the Tax Act.
Allowable capital losses for a taxation year in excess of taxable capital gains for that year generally may be carried back and deducted in any of the three preceding taxation years or carried forward and deducted in any subsequent taxation year
against net taxable capital gains realized in such years, to the extent and under the circumstances described in the Tax Act.
15
Alternative Minimum Tax
Capital gains realized by a Holder that is an individual or a trust, other than certain specified trusts, may give rise to alternative minimum
tax under the Tax Act.
Additional Refundable Tax
A Holder that is throughout the relevant taxation year a Canadian controlled private corporation (as defined in the Tax Act) may be
liable to pay a refundable tax of 6
2
⁄
3
% on its aggregate investment income, which is defined in the Tax Act to include taxable capital gains
and interest.
RISK FACTORS
Before purchasing the Debentures subscribers should carefully consider the following risk factors as well as those set out in the AIF
incorporated by reference into this prospectus in addition to the other information contained in this prospectus and incorporated by reference in this prospectus. See
Documents Incorporated by Reference
. Additional risks
and uncertainties not presently known or that the Company currently considers immaterial also may impair the Companys business and operations and cause the price of the Debentures to decline. If any of the events contemplated in the risk
factors described below or in the documents incorporated by reference actually occur, the Companys business may be harmed and the financial condition and results of operation may suffer significantly. In that event, the trading price of the
Debentures could decline, and purchasers of the Debentures may lose all or part of their investment.
In addition to the other information
set forth elsewhere in this prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference, prospective investors should carefully review the following risk factors:
Market for Securities.
There is currently no market through which the Rights or the Debentures may be sold and there is no
guarantee that an active trading market will develop. Accordingly, purchasers may not be able to sell the Rights or Debentures distributed under this prospectus. This may affect the pricing of the Rights or Debentures in the secondary market, the
transparency and the availability of trading prices and the liquidity of the Rights or Debentures. There can be no assurance that an active trading market will develop for the Rights or Debentures after the Offering, or if developed, that such
market will be sustained at the Offering Price.
Market Conditions.
The market price of the Debentures will be based on a
number of factors, including: (i) the prevailing interest rates being paid by the companies similar to CSI, (ii) the overall condition of the financial and credit markets, (iii) interest rate volatility, (iv) fluctuations in the
CPI Index, (v) the markets for similar securities, (vi) the financial condition, results of operation and prospects of CSI, (vii) changes in the industry in which CSI operates and competition affecting CSI, and (viii) general
market and economic conditions. The price at which the Rights or Debentures will trade cannot be accurately predicted.
Additional
Indebtedness.
The Indenture does not limit the ability of the Company to incur additional debt or liabilities (including Senior Indebtedness). In order to finance acquisitions from time-to-time, the Company expects to draw down additional
indebtedness under its Credit Facility. The additional indebtedness will increase the interest payable by the Company from time-to-time until such amounts are repaid, which will represent an increase in the Companys cost and a potential
reduction in the Companys income. In addition, the Company may need to find additional sources of financing to repay this amount when it becomes due. There can be no guarantee that the Company will be able to obtain financing on terms
acceptable to it or at all at such time.
Prior Ranking Indebtedness.
The Debentures are unsecured and the payment of
principal and interest thereon will be subordinate to all existing and future Senior Indebtedness of the Company. The Indenture does not limit the ability of the Company to incur additional debt or liabilities (including Senior Indebtedness).
Principal and interest will be payable on the Debentures only if no event of default exists under the Senior Indebtedness immediately before or after such payment is due and any other terms of the Senior Indebtedness have been complied with. In
addition, the Credit Facility currently prohibits the
16
redemption or repurchase of the Debentures unless the aggregate of the amount that the Company is entitled to borrow under the Credit Facility plus available cash is equal to or greater than
US$25,000,000. The Credit Facility expires on February 29, 2016, following which time the Company may enter into a new credit facility with one or more lenders. The terms of any new credit facility may contain additional restrictions on the
Companys ability to redeem or repurchase the Debentures, but the nature and extent of such restrictions is not known and cannot be predicted. Enforcement of the Debentures, including the issuance of a bankruptcy petition, will require the
consent of the lenders under the Senior Indebtedness.
Interest Rate will be Reset.
The interest rate in respect of the
Debentures will reset on an annual basis beginning on March 15, 2015 and will be based on changes in the CPI Index over the prior calendar year. In each case, the new interest rate is unlikely to be the same as, and may be lower than, the
interest rate for the applicable preceding period. As a result, the amount of interest payable on the Debentures may rise or fall from one year to the next and such variations may be material during periods of significant changes in the CPI Index.
In circumstances where the change in the Cost of Living Adjustment is negative from one year to another, the interest rate applicable to the Debentures for the following period could be as low at 0%. The Initial Rate will only apply to the
Debentures in respect of the first interest payment on March 31, 2015. Effective March 31, 2015, the interest payable on the Debentures will be based on the applicable Floating Interest rate.
Ability to Defer Interest Payments.
Any failure by the Company to pay the interest on the Debentures in full on any interest
payment date will
not
constitute an event of default under the Trust Indenture and holders of Debentures will have no right to accelerate payment of the principal amount outstanding under such Debentures. Although the Company will not
be permitted to declare dividends of any kind on the Common Shares and will not be permitted to participate in any share buyback or redemption involving the Common Shares until the Company first pays any outstanding interest (or the unpaid portion
thereof) to holders of Debentures, holders of Debentures will not have an immediate right to receive such outstanding interest. Instead, any unpaid interest will form part of the principal amount of such Debentures and will only become due and
payable on the occurrence of any event giving rise to the obligation of the Company to pay or cause the payment of the redemption price, as the case may be, as part of such price and not prior thereto.
Redemption of Debentures.
The Debentures are redeemable annually, upon no more than five years and 15 days and no
less than five years notice, and upon a Change of Control. Redemption could occur when prevailing interest rates are lower than the rate born by the Debentures. If prevailing rates are lower at the time of redemption, a purchaser would not be
able to reinvest the redemption proceeds in a comparable security at an effective interest rate as high as the interest rate on the Debentures being redeemed. The Companys redemption right also may adversely impact a purchasers ability
to sell Debentures as the optional redemption date or period approaches.
Exercise of Put Rights.
A holder of Debentures
will have the right to require the Company to repurchase some or all of its Debentures annually. However, in order to excise its put rights, a holder of Debentures must provide the Company with no more than five years and 15 days and no
less than five years notice and must deposit its Puttable Debentures with the Debenture Trustee during this 60 month period. During this time, the Puttable Debentures will no longer be transferable over the facilities of any stock exchange or
otherwise.
Use of Proceeds of the Offering.
As set out under
Use of Proceeds
in this prospectus,
the Company intends to use the proceeds of the Offering to pay down existing indebtedness under the Credit Facility. There may be circumstances that are not known at this time where a reallocation of the net proceeds of the Offering may be advisable
for business reasons that the board of directors and management believe are in the Companys best interests.
Prevailing Yields
on Similar Securities.
Prevailing yields on similar securities will affect the market value of the Debentures. Assuming all other factors remain unchanged, the market value of the Debentures will decline as prevailing yields for similar
securities rise, and will increase as prevailing yields for similar securities decline.
Debentures are Subject to the Credit Risk
of the Company.
The obligation to make payments under the Debentures is an obligation of the Company. The likelihood that holders of Debentures will receive payments owing to them under the Debentures will depend on the financial health and
creditworthiness of the Company. The Debentures have not been assigned a credit rating.
Senior Indebtedness Refinancing Risk.
The Companys Credit Facility expires on February 29, 2016. Although the Company may enter into a new credit facility with one or more lenders on or prior to the expiry of the Credit Facility, the terms of such credit facility
cannot be predicted and may contain terms or conditions that are more onerous or restrictive than the Credit
17
Facility. The Companys ability to replace the Credit Facility on favourable terms will be dependent on, among other factors, the operating performance of the Company, future debt market
conditions, the level of future interest rate spreads, and prospective lenders assessment of the Companys credit risk at such time. If the Company is unable to obtain a new credit facility on favourable terms, the Companys ability
to complete acquisitions may be negatively impacted, which may have an adverse effect on the Companys financial performance.
There may be Changes in Legislation or Administrative Practices that adversely affect Holders of Debentures.
There can be no
assurance that income tax, securities and other laws or the administrative practices of any government agency will not be amended or changed in a manner which adversely affects Debentureholders.
Subscription Rights May Not be Revoked.
Subject to the Companys right to terminate the Offering at any time, upon delivery
or mailing of the completed Rights Certificate to the Subscription Agent, the exercise of the Rights and the subscription for Debentures is irrevocable.
The Company May Terminate the Offering
. The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide not to continue with the Offering or to
terminate the Offering at any time. This decision could be based on many factors, including a failure to meet the minimum subscription amount of due to market conditions. The Company currently has no intention to terminate the Offering, but reserves
the right to do so. If the Company elects to cancel or terminate the Offering, nether the Company nor the Subscription Agent will have any obligation with respect to the subscription rights except to return, without interest, any subscription
payments the Subscription Agent received.
Inability of Company to Purchase Debentures
. Upon the occurrence of a Change of
Control of the Company, each Debentureholder may require the Company to purchase, on the date which is 30 days following the giving of notice of the Change of Control, the whole or any part of such holders Debentures at a price equal to 100%
of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest up to, but excluding, the Change of Control Put Date. It is possible that upon a Change of Control, the Company will not have sufficient funds to make the required repurchase of Debentures or
that restrictions contained in other indebtedness will restrict those purchases. See
Description of the Debentures Put Right upon a Change of Control
.
EARNINGS COVERAGE RATIOS
The following earnings coverage ratios and pro forma earnings coverage ratios are calculated on a consolidated basis for the 12 month periods
ended December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2014, and are derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company as at and for the year ended December 31, 2013 and the unaudited consolidated financial statements of the
Company as at and for the 3 months ended March 31, 2014, respectively. The pro forma earnings coverage ratios have been prepared as at December 31, 2013, as adjusted to give effect to the issuance of the Debentures as if such issuance had
occurred at the beginning of the calculation period.
The borrowing costs of the Company, after adjustment for new financial liabilities,
for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2013 were approximately US$9.7 million and for the twelve month period ended March 31, 2014 were approximately US$10.1 million. The borrowing costs of the Company for the twelve month period
ended December 31, 2013 and the twelve month period ended March 31, 2014, in each case after adjustment for new financial liabilities and after giving effect to the issuance of the Debentures, were approximately US$15.2 million and US$15.5
million respectively. The profit attributable to owners of the Company before borrowing costs and taxes for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2013 was approximately US$107 million and for the twelve month period ended March 31,
2014 was approximately US$111.8 million, in each case after giving effect to the expenses of the Offering. This represents earnings coverage ratios of 11.0 for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2013 and 11.1 for the twelve month period
ended March 31, 2014, in each case on a historical basis, and 7.0 for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2013 and 7.2 for the twelve month period ended March 31, 2014, in each case after giving effect to the issuance of the
Debentures.
The earnings coverage ratios noted above include a deduction for amortization of approximately US$161.8 million in the 12
month period ended December 31, 2013 and approximately US$166.1 million in the 12 month period ended March 31, 2014. If the earnings coverage ratios were adjusted to add back this non-cash deduction, the historical earnings coverage ratios
would be 27.6 and 27.6 for the 12 month periods ended December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2014, respectively, and the earnings coverage ratios after giving effect to the issuance of the Debentures would be 17.7 and 17.9 for the 12- month
periods ended December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2014, respectively.
