Each Dolly Varden share would be exchanged for 0.1652 Contango share, with eligible Canadian holders able to elect tax-deferral exchangeable shares that mirror the economics and voting rights of Contango stock and are exchangeable 1-for-1 into Contango shares.

The deal requires approvals from Contango stockholders, Dolly Varden shareholders, the Supreme Court of British Columbia, stock exchanges and regulators. Both companies’ boards unanimously support the transaction, and key shareholders holding about 22% of each company’s shares have signed voting agreements in favor of the arrangement. A special virtual meeting of Contango stockholders will be held to vote on the arrangement, share increase and incentive plan proposals, and the board recommends voting “FOR” each proposal.
