Wilmington Announces Intention to Sell Lands Held by Bow City 2 Limited Partnership
July 04 2024 - 5:47PM
Wilmington Capital Management Inc. (“
Wilmington”
or the “
Corporation”), as the sole limited partner
of the Bow City 2 Limited Partnership (“
Bow City
Seton”), is pleased to announce the concurrent execution
of two purchase and sale agreements (collectively, the
“
Sale Agreement”) pursuant to which Bow City Seton
and the Corporation intend to sell a 2.21-acre and a 1.18-acre
parcel of land in Calgary, Alberta (the “
Lands”)
held by Bow City Seton to a joint venture comprised of Rosebridge
Capital Corp. Inc., 730295 Alberta Ltd. and certain other arm’s
length parties (collectively, the “
Purchaser”).
The Corporation had previously planned to
construct a 92,000 square foot storage facility and retail complex
and a 17-bay car condo upon the Lands (the “Seton
Project”). The City of Calgary has approved development
and building permits for the Seton Project and a tendering process
for construction of the Seton Project is substantially complete.
The Sale Agreement sets forth, among other things, the terms and
conditions upon which Bow City Seton proposes to sell the Lands to
the Purchaser (the “Transaction”) for total cash
consideration of $6,220,650 plus all payments, outlays and expenses
incurred by Bow City Seton in connection with the development and
construction of the Seton Project, plus applicable taxes
(collectively, the “Purchase Price”). As the sole
limited partner of Bow City Seton, the Corporation will be the
ultimate beneficiary of the Purchase Price. The Transaction is
expected to close in the third quarter of 2024.
After due consideration, the Board of Directors
of the Corporation, with Directors that are interested parties
having declared their conflict and abstained from voting,
determined the development of the Seton Project is no longer
consistent with the Corporation’s go-forward plan.
The Corporation will seek approval of the
Transaction from holders of Class A and Class B shares at an
upcoming special shareholders’ meeting that is expected to be held
on or about August 7, 2024 (the “Meeting”).
Further details regarding the Transaction will be provided in a
management information circular distributed in advance of the
Meeting.
Related Party
Transaction Disclosure
The Transaction involves related parties and
interested parties of the Corporation within the meaning of
Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security
Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). As
a result, the Transaction is considered to be a “related party
transaction”, as such term is defined in MI 61-101. Rosebridge
Capital Corp. Inc. (a control person of the Corporation) and 730295
Alberta Ltd. (an entity controlled by Mr. Christopher Killi, a
director and officer of the Corporation) are purchasers under the
Transaction and are considered “interested parties” within the
meaning of MI 61-101. Rosebridge Capital Corp. Inc. is committed to
pay 46.5% and 730295 Alberta Ltd. is committed to pay 3.01% of the
Purchase Price, as finally determined in accordance with the terms
of the Sale Agreement. Mr. Joseph F. Killi, a director and Chairman
of the Corporation, is a director of and owns a controlling
interest in Rosebridge Capital Corp. Inc. Mr. C. Killi is a
director of and owns a controlling interest in 730295 Alberta
Ltd.
While MI 61-101 would otherwise subject the
Transaction to formal valuation and minority shareholder approval
requirements, the Corporation is availing itself of the exemptions
applicable under Section 5.5(a) and Section 5.7(a) of MI 61-101,
respectively. The facts supporting reliance on the formal valuation
exemption stated in Sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 are
as follows: at the time the Transaction was agreed to, neither the
fair market value of the subject matter of, nor the fair market
value of the consideration for, the Transaction, insofar as it
involved interested parties, exceeded 25% of the Corporation’s
market capitalization.
