Arrangement Agreement regulatory
"Pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement (the "Arrangement Agreement"), dated as of February 6, 2026, by and among SunOpta Inc."
An arrangement agreement is a legally binding plan that sets out the detailed terms and steps for a major corporate action—such as a merger, takeover, restructuring, or sale—and the approvals needed from shareholders, creditors and sometimes a court. It matters to investors because it determines who will own the company, how much they will receive, the timing and conditions for the deal to close, and the likelihood the transaction will actually happen; think of it as the project blueprint and checklist for a big corporate change.
statutory plan of arrangement regulatory
"by way of a court-approved statutory plan of arrangement under Section 192 of the Canada Business Corporations Act"
A statutory plan of arrangement is a formal, court‑approved legal process companies use to reorganize, merge, buy or change the rights of shareholders and creditors. Think of it like a referee‑backed roadmap that stakeholders vote on and a judge signs off so the deal can bind everyone, even those who disagree; investors care because it can change ownership, share value, voting rights and timelines for receiving cash or new securities.
Restricted Stock Unit (RSU) financial
"Restricted Stock Unit (RSU)"
A restricted stock unit (RSU) is a promise from a company to give an employee company shares (or cash equal to their value) at a future date if certain conditions are met, such as staying with the company or hitting performance targets. For investors, RSUs matter because when they convert into actual shares they increase the number of shares available and can create selling pressure as employees cash out—think of them as a future paycheck paid in company stock.
Consideration financial
"for consideration of $6.50 per share in cash, less applicable withholdings (the "Consideration")."
Common Shares financial
"all of SunOpta's issued and outstanding common shares in the capital of SunOpta (the "Common Shares")"
Common shares are the basic units of ownership in a company that give holders a claim on profits and a right to vote on key matters, like electing the board. Think of them as membership cards in a club: they let you share in successes and losses, but in a bankruptcy or liquidation they are paid after creditors and preferred shareholders, so their value can swing more and matters for assessing risk and potential return.
