Special Voting Preferred Share
 
In connection with the Merger (Note 1), on February 26, 2015, the Company entered into a voting and exchange trust agreement (the “Trust Agreement”). Pursuant to the Trust Agreement, the Company issued one share of the Special Voting Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the Special Voting Preferred Share”) to the Trustee, and the parties created a trust for the Trustee to hold the Special Voting Preferred Share for the benefit of the holders of the Exchangeable Shares (the “Beneficiaries”). Pursuant to the Trust Agreement, the Beneficiaries have voting rights in the Company equivalent to what they would have had, had they received shares of common stock in the same amount as the Exchangeable Shares held by the Beneficiaries.
 
In connection with the Merger and the Trust Agreement, effective February 20, 2015, the Company filed a certificate of designation of the Special Voting Preferred Share (the “Special Voting Certificate of Designation”) with the Delaware Secretary of State. Pursuant to the Special Voting Certificate of Designation, one share of the Company’s blank check preferred stock was designated as the Special Voting Preferred Share. The Special Voting Preferred Share entitles the Trustee to exercise the number of votes equal to the number of Exchangeable Shares outstanding on a one-for-one basis during the term of the Trust Agreement.
 
The Special Voting Preferred Share is not entitled to receive any dividends or to receive any assets of the Company upon liquidation, and is not convertible into common shares of the Company.
 
The voting rights of the Special Voting Preferred Share will terminate pursuant to and in accordance with the Trust Agreement. The Special Voting Preferred Share will be automatically cancelled at such time as no Exchangeable Shares are held by a Beneficiary.
