The completion of the Arrangement provides Pieridae with ownership of an extensive area of producing and gas-prone reserve and resource properties situated primarily in the central Alberta Foothills area.

Pursuant to the Arrangement each Ikkuma Shareholder is entitled to receive, for each common share of Ikkuma, 0.1926 of a common share of Pieridae (each such whole share, a “Pieridae Share“), 0.1 of one common share of ExploreCo (each such whole share, an “ExploreCo Share“) and 0.1 of one common share purchase warrant of ExploreCo (each such whole warrant, an “ExploreCo Warrant“), with Ikkuma shareholders holding 100% of ExploreCo upon completion of the Arrangement. The shares of Ikkuma will be delisted from the TSX Venture Exchange.
If you are a registered Ikkuma Shareholder, in order to receive the Pieridae Shares, ExploreCo Shares and ExploreCo Warrants that you are entitled to upon the completion of the Arrangement, you must complete and sign the letter of transmittal which accompanied the Meeting Materials and return it, together with your share certificate(s) and any other required documents and instruments, to Alliance Trust Company, in accordance with the procedures set out in the letter of transmittal.
