Schedule TO-I filed November 3, 2023
File No. 005-35902
Dear Ian Laing:
We have reviewed your filing and have the following comments. In some of our
comments, we may ask you to provide us with information so we may better understand your
disclosure.
Please respond to these comments by providing the requested information or advise us as
soon as possible when you will respond. If you do not believe our comments apply to your facts
and circumstances, please tell us why in your response.
After reviewing your response to these comments, we may have additional comments.
Defined terms used herein have the same meaning as in your offering materials.
Schedule TO-I filed November 3, 2023
General
1.We note your disclosure in the Offer to Purchase that “[t]he Company’s interpretation of
the terms and conditions of the Offer (including the Letter of Transmittal and the Notice
of Guaranteed Delivery) will be final and binding” and your disclosure in the Letter of
Transmittal that certain of the Company’s determinations “will be final and binding.”
Please revise all such references to remove the implication that security holders may not
challenge these determinations in a court of competent jurisdiction or advise.
2.The cross reference in Item 7(b) of the Schedule TO to Section 7 of the Offer to Purchase
appears to be inappropriate, as Section 7 sets forth the conditions to the consummation of
the Offer rather than material conditions, if any, to any financing of consideration to be
provided in the Offer. See Item 1007(b) of Regulation M-A. Please revise.
