As a result, shareholders of Southern Legacy will in effect receive 0.1883 shares of Amalco for each Southern Legacy share and shareholders of Regulus will receive 0.333 shares of Amalco for each Regulus share. Upon completion of the arrangement Amalco will have approximately 45.3 million shares outstanding, approximately 74% of which will be held by former Regulus shareholders and 26% of which will be held by former Southern Legacy shareholders. It is expected that all of the outstanding common share purchase options of Regulus and Southern Legacy will be cancelled as part of the arrangement for no consideration.

The companies intend to call special meetings of their respective securityholders on or before September 30, 2014.

In connection with the signing of this Agreement, Regulus has agreed to increase the unsecured line of credit it has extended to Southern Legacy to a maximum of $2,500,000 (the "Loan"), with the other terms of the Loan remaining unchanged from the terms disclosed in the press release dated May 20, 2014.
