Under the Arrangement, holders of common shares of Boulder will receive cash consideration of $2.59 per share, representing a premium of 70% to the closing price of the common shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") on February 24, 2016, the last trading day prior to the announcement of the Arrangement and a premium of 96% to the volume-weighted average trading price on the TSX over the 30 days prior to announcement.
Glass Lewis has recommended that Boulder shareholders vote FOR the Arrangement, which allows shareholders to cash out their investment and immediately realize an assured value at a substantial premium.
ISS has recommended that Boulder shareholders vote FOR the Arrangement for a number of reasons, including the significant premium to the unaffected market price, the certainty of value and immediate liquidity of the proposed cash consideration, the positive market reaction and the risks associated with the stand-alone scenario in the current volatile environment.

The Circular contains a detailed description of the Arrangement. Boulder''s Board unanimously recommends that all Boulder shareholders vote FOR the Arrangement to be considered at the Meeting.
