The hearing in respect of the final order to approve the Arrangement is currently scheduled to take place on or about July 16, 2010, with the completion of the Arrangement to occur no later than July 20, 2010.
The Meeting will be held on July 15, 2010 at Suite 2600, 595 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia at 10:00 a.m. (PST). Brazauro securityholders of record as of 5:00 pm (Vancouver time) on June 10, 2010 will be entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting.
