Columbus has now satisfied almost all of the conditions which would enable it to set the Share Distribution Record Date, and complete the ALLEGIANT spin-out, including obtaining shareholder approval and the final order of the Supreme Court. The two remaining conditions are conditional acceptance of the TSX to the Arrangement and conditional approval of the TSX-V to list ALLEGIANT.
Only shareholders of record as at the Share Distribution Record Date will be entitled to receive shares of ALLEGIANT in the spin-out. Shareholders of record on that date will receive 1 (one) share of ALLEGIANT, for every 5 (five) shares they own of Columbus. Shareholders who sell their Columbus shares prior to the Share Distribution Record Date will not be entitled to receive shares of ALLEGIANT.
