Globex is also pleased to announce that it has received an advance income tax ruling from Canada Revenue Agency confirming that the Arrangement will be treated as a tax-deferred “butterfly” reorganization pursuant to the Income Tax Act (Canada), with no material Canadian federal income tax payable by any of Globex, CIM or Globex shareholders who hold their shares as capital property.
