Synopsis
    •   The new cross-border income trust model may provide an attractive
        valuation proposition for vendors of U.S. domiciled assets that may also be
        suitable for U.S. MLPs
    •   Investor appetite in the Canadian capital markets remains strong for yield
        product and is expected to support additional trust IPOs in Canada
    •   The Canadian IPO process allows for completion of a transaction in 3-4
        months, reducing execution risk relative to the U.S. registration process
    •   Key drivers:
         – Underlying assets with stable, sustainable cash flow profile that will support
           distributions by the trust
         – Experienced management and strong board
         – Transparent structure that is compliant with Canadian SIFT requirements

Act 1 – Scene 1
    •   The Canadian income trust structure first emerged 25 years ago
    •   Concept was to create a publicly traded trust that paid holders of trust units
        a stable stream of cash distributions on a pre-tax basis
    •   Adoption of the income trust model occurred initially in the oil and gas
        sector
         – IPOs by new royalty trusts/conversions of corporate entities to royalty trusts
         – Provided exit opportunity for suitable assets at attractive valuations
    •   Oil and gas royalty trusts focused on ownership of long-life, producing oil
        and gas assets
         – Strategy of undertaking low risk exploitation and development activities rather
           than higher risk exploration activities
         – Sought producing assets with long RLI that generated predictable cash flows
           available for distribution to unitholders
         – Regular M&A required to replenish reserves and sustain production/cash flows




5
Act 1 – Scene 1
    •   Over time, the Canadian income trust sector matured
         – In 1999, S&P adopted a Stability Ratings Scale for income trusts regarding the
           prospective relative stability of distributable cash flow generation
         – Creation of the S&P/TSX Income Trust Index as a modular component of the
           S&P/TSX Composite Index
         – Structure modified to accommodate a range of asset classes, including
           assets/businesses domiciled outside of Canada
         – Proliferation of specialized research coverage by a range of investment dealers
         – Specialized Canadian securities rules adopted for income trusts in 2004 via
           National Policy 41-201 – Income Trusts and Other Indirect Offerings
         – Limited liability legislation adopted by various provinces in 2004-5 to shield trust
           investors from personal liability
         – Evolution of investor base, from highly retail weighted to increasing institutional
           investor acceptance and participation, reflecting in part improved governance
           practices

Act 1 – Scene 1
    •   The Canadian income trust market peaked in 2006 with 256 funds having
        an aggregate market cap of ~ $225 billion

                   Oil & Gas

                   Infrastructure

                   Power

                   Mining

                   Diversified


    •   By 2006, the trust sector had expanded to include a wide range of asset
        classes


7
Act 1 – Scene 1
    •   Trust provides a flow-through vehicle for tax purposes and simpler
        Canadian tax reporting for the investor than a partnership unit
    •   To meet eligibility for tax deferred retirement and education plans the trusts
        were structured as “mutual fund trusts” under the Canadian Tax Act
    •   A “mutual fund trust” under the Canadian Tax Act must meet the following
        conditions:
         – The trust’s only undertaking must be the investing of funds in property (other
           than real property that is not capital property)
         – The trust must be a unit trust resident in Canada
         – The trust must meet prescribed conditions (150 unitholders each having a block
           of units with a cost of at least $500) with respect to the dispersal of units and
           public trading




8
Act 1 – Scene 2
    •   On October 31, 2006, the Minister of Finance (Canada) announced the
        Canadian federal government’s proposal to change the tax treatment of
        publicly traded income trusts and other flow-through entities through the
        enactment of the “Specified Investment Flow-Through” (“SIFT”) rules.
         – The SIFT rules were introduced to level the playing field between publicly traded
           income trusts and corporations and eliminated the flow-through advantages
           associated with the use of a trust
         – Under the SIFT rules, the Canadian-source income of certain publicly traded
           mutual fund trusts is subject to an entity-level tax at a rate comparable to the
           combined Canadian federal and provincial corporate tax rate and the income
           distributed to holders of units in such trusts is taxed as dividends
         – The only Canadian asset exemption from the SIFT rules is for REITs




9
Act 1 – Scene 2
     •   The SIFT rules had a dramatic impact on Canadian capital markets and
         immediately curtailed IPO activity by new income trusts and resulted in the
         conversion of many income trusts to a dividend paying corporate model and
         M&A activity                             40   Oct 31, 2006

Attributes of the Cross-Border Trust
     •   To date, these new trusts have focused on acquiring producing oil and gas
         assets and are viewed as offering a potential monetization opportunity for
         owners of U.S. domiciled energy assets
          – Opportunity for additional IPOs by new income trusts
          – Exit strategy through asset sales to an existing income trust, particularly as the
            income trust sector expands and matures
          – May offer solution for assets (lower RLI and moderate to high PDP as a % of
            reserves) not suitable for the MLP model
     •   Key attributes of completed cross-border trust IPOs:
          – Sustainability of distribution profile, including sustaining and expansion capital
            expenditures and debt service requirements
          – Seasoned and recognized management teams




14
SIFT Trust Rules do not Apply
     •   The new generation of trusts do not fall within the scheme of the SIFT trust
         rules
     •   The SIFT trust rules only apply to a publicly traded Canadian trust which
         holds “non-portfolio property”
     •   “Non-portfolio property” is a direct or indirect interest in
          – The assets of a business carried on in Canada, or
          – Canadian real property or resource property
     •   A mutual fund trust (“MFT”) must not be "established or maintained primarily
         for the benefit of non-residents" of Canada which is generally interpreted to
         mean that no more than 49% of the units of a trust may be held by non-
         residents of Canada
          – New generation of trusts exempt from this non-resident ownership restriction

     •   For US tax purposes, the Commercial Trust (“CT”) elects to be treated as a
         corporation, and therefore is taxed as a foreign corporation with effectively
         connected US income earned through a US branch
     •   MFT treated as a partnership for US tax purposes
     •   The interest on the Notes owed by CT to the MFT is treated as a portfolio
         interest and therefore exempt from US withholding tax
     •   The interest and, in these early trusts, resource drilling and exploration
         deductions reduce US corporate tax (and US branch tax) on the effectively
         connected income
     •   In Canada, the income from the US oil and gas partnership flows through
         both the CT and the MFT directly to the unitholders without incidence of
         Canadian corporate level tax

     •   For US tax purposes, the MFT elects to be treated as a corporation and
         therefore interest on the Notes owed by US Corp to the MFT is entitled to
         the benefit of the 0 percent withholding rate under the Canada/US tax treaty
     •   The interest and, in these early trusts, resource drilling and exploration
         deductions reduce US corporate tax on income of the US Corp
     •   In Canada, the distributions from US Corp. to Canada Corp are treated as
         tax exempt dividends or returns of capital and are paid to the MFT as
         “eligible dividends” or tax free returns of capital
     •   “Eligible dividends” are entitled to a lower effective rate of tax
         (approximately 20% less than ordinary income)
     •   The MFT passes through the eligible dividends, returns of capital and
         interest income to the unitholders without intervening tax




19
Interest Considerations
     •   It is critical to either structure that the interest on the Notes is deductible for
         US purposes. There are 3 key issues, namely that:
          – the terms of the Notes will be respected as debt and not equity for US thin
            capitalization purposes
          – the interest expense not exceed 50% of EBITDA for the purposes of the earnings
            stripping rule in § 163(j) of the Code
          – The related party interest rate is defensible as an arm’s length rate for transfer
            pricing purposes
     •   A US financial model is prepared and a debt study and interest rate study
         undertaken by an independent financial advisor to substantiate interest
         deductibility




20
Other Tax Considerations
     •   Additional structuring may be done underneath US Corp (e.g. use of a
         partnership for Texas margin tax purposes)
     •   Anti-inversion rule in § 7874 of the Code is not applicable provided that the
         US vendor retains its interest in the underlying resource properties at the
         “working interest” level and not through the MFT or a subsidiary of the MFT
     •   Modeling of these early trusts has shown limited US tax leakage in the form
         of AMT, and refundable FIRPTA withholding tax
     •   US mind and management at the US Corp. level is beneficial for the
         Canadian treatment of the dividends from US Opco once US Opco has E&P
         for US purposes

22
Canadian IPO Process
     •   Securities commission prospectus review and clearance process in Canada
         takes approximately one month
          – Initial comment letter within 10 business days of filing preliminary prospectus
          – Common on IPOs to receive second (and potentially a third) comment letter
          – Issuer, lead underwriter(s), counsel and auditors prepare written responses to
            securities commission comments
     •   TSX listing approval process takes approximately 6-8 weeks from filing of
         formal listing application
          – Key to engage early with listing staff
          – Early filing of PIFs and discussion of novel issues with listing staff, including
            financial statements, reserves, incentive and compensation arrangements
          – File formal listing application concurrent with preliminary prospectus




23
Securities Law Considerations
     •   Financial statement requirements
          – Acquired asset financial statements
              • Three years audited, plus unaudited interims within 45 days of date of
                prospectus
              • operating statements for oil and gas assets
          – Trust financial statements
              • Audited financial statements from date of formation to date not earlier than
                90 days prior to the date of the prospectus
          – IFRS
              • Required for all financial years beginning on or after January 1, 2011
              • Allowed for prior periods with exemptive relief from securities commission




24
Securities Law Considerations
     •   Reserve report
          – Required for any issuer engaged in oil and gas activities
          – Must be prepared in accordance with Canadian National Instrument 51-101 –
            Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities
          – Reserves must be evaluated by an independent evaluator
          – Different from SEC reserves reporting (i.e. forecast prices/costs for proved and
            probable reserves)
          – Reserve report key for:
               • development of the internal financial model prepared by the issuer/lead underwriter in
                 connection with the IPO
               • statement of distributable cash contained in the prospectus




25
Securities Law Considerations
     •   Statement of Distributable Cash
          – Essential to IPO marketing efforts as source of estimated “distributable cash”,
            being the estimated future net cash to be generated by the income trust’s
            business available for distribution to public unitholders
          – Form and content regulated by Canadian National Policy 41-201
          – Based off historical financial statements, asset development plan, reserve report,
            contractual arrangements and stated management assumptions (reasonable and
            supportable)
          – May be considered a “financial outlook” under Canadian securities rules thereby
            requiring disclosure in subsequently filed MD&A of material differences between
            actual results and the financial outlook




26
Securities Law Considerations
     •   Promoter and vendor liability
          – Under Canadian securities rules, a promoter is any person, acting alone or with
            others that, directly or indirectly, takes the initiative in founding or organizing the
            business of the issuer
              • “Promoter” includes a person who receives in consideration for property 10%
                or more of the proceeds from the sale of securities in connection with
                founding or organizing the business of the issuer except as consideration for
                property transferred to the issuer if that person does not otherwise take part
                in founding or organizing the business
          – Characterization as a promoter is highly fact specific
          – Promoters must certify the prospectus and have statutory liability (joint and
            several with issuer/underwriters) for prospectus misrepresentations
          – Securities commissions have indicated their expectation that vendors “take
            appropriate responsibility” for the information in the prospectus relating to the
            business being acquired by the income trust




27
Securities Law Considerations
     •   Due diligence
          – Underwriters have a due diligence defence for prospectus misrepresentations
            provided they have undertaken reasonable diligence investigations
          – For income trust IPOs, diligence will typically cover:
              • Structure documents (compliance with SIFT rules)
              • Purchase and sale agreement/PPAs
              • Commercial agreements (ROFRs, closing adjustments)
              • Environmental and title matters
              • Tax diligence, including use of third party debt capacity and debt/equity, and
                 interest rate, studies/opinions
          – Diligence also needed to support borrowing base credit facility for income trust




28
Securities Law Considerations
     •   Other considerations
          – Governance
             • Capital markets expect governance structures and principles consistent with
               corporate issuers
             • Trust indenture; delegation by corporate trustee to management company
               board
             • Voting agreement to facilitate unitholder appointment of public board while
               complying with SIFT rules
             • Administrative services agreement
             • Domicile of mind and management




29
Securities Law Considerations
     •   Other considerations (cont’d)
          – U.S. securities law considerations
              • Concurrent exempt offering in the United States (typically utilizing Rule
                144A)
              • Foreign private issuer implications
          – Lock-up agreements
              • No statutory or stock exchange escrow for IPOs >100 million but
                underwriters will expect insiders/vendors to enter into 180 day lock-up
                agreements
          – Founder stock; incentive/compensation arrangements
          – French translation of prospectus




30
Commercial Agreements
     •   Purchase and sale agreement
     •   Joint operating agreement for third party operated assets
     •   Joint development agreement
     •   Credit agreement

Going Public in Canada - Overview
 • Canadian capital markets operate within a world-class
   financial services environment
     – Traded during North American business hours
     – Vibrant institutional and retail investor base
 • Unique capital market infrastructure and listing standards
 • Proportionate governance
 • Extensive analyst community
 • Access to U.S. capital
 • Alternative options for going public
 • Raising capital on TSX does not require reincorporation or
   operations in Canada

25
Canadian Public Markets are “right-sized” for
Mid & Small-Cap Issuers
  • Good fit for small - mid cap U.S. companies
      – Canadian capital markets have long history of financing smaller
        companies
      – Investors comfortable with risk – willing to support
      – Regulatory regimes consider the particular needs of smaller
        public companies
      – Infrastructure of market professionals with expertise in smaller
        public companies
      – May provide greater liquidity for smaller public companies




 26
Alternative Methods for Going Public Available




 27
Capital Pool Company™ (CPC) Program has a Strong
Track Record


                            Since inception:
                            •Over 2140 CPCs were created
                            •80% have completed their QT – over
                            1700 companies

                            Currently:
                            •342 Graduates now trade on TSX
                            •103 of the grads were CPCs
                            •128 QTs in 2010




 28
Proportionate governance

• TMX Group, Inc. has “principle based”
  regulation

• Proportionate Governance

     – TSX companies do not require external
       auditor attestation regarding internal
       controls (SOX 404)

     – In addition, TSX Venture companies have
       the benefit of a basic certification




29
Specific Oil & Gas Listing Criteria

 • TSX requires issuers to have proved developed reserves
   (Minimum NPV $3MM, Exempt $7.5MM) or significant
   contingent resource + financial stability
 • TSX Venture listing requirements offer increased flexibility
      • Can accommodate smaller companies with proved or probable
        reserves or resources
      • Companies with no reserves may still be eligible – unproven
        property with prospects / recommended diversified exploration
        program of at least $1.5MM*
 • Energy companies required to report their reserves /
   resources in compliance with NI 51-101; globally
   recognized standard that affords transparency
 30    *See TSX Venture Exchange Policy 2.1 for complete details   30
 30
Timelines & Other Considerations
• Timelines for listing vary significantly depending on deal complexity
     • Can be as quick as 2 months in ‘perfect’ situations for TSX listings
• IFRS Accounting/Audit Standards; U.S. GAAP* accepted without
  reconciliation
• No Exchange requirement for Canadian officers / directors but
  acceptable senior market public company experience is required
• 200 global public board lot shareholders on TSXV and 300 on TSX
• Canadian office not required but contact person in Canada must be
  accessible for shareholders and analyst inquiries
• Sponsorship generally required (can be waived in certain situations)




       *Dependent upon issuer’s reporting status in the U.S.

Cross-Border Income Trust Seminar, November 17, 2011

  • 1. Canadian Cross-Border Income Trusts: A Monetization Opportunity for U.S. Assets November 17, 2011 New York www.blakes.com
  • 2. This presentation is not intended to provide legal advice with respect to any particular transaction or circumstance and no legal or business decision should be based on its content. IRS Circular 230 disclosure: To ensure compliance with requirements imposed by the IRS, we inform you that any U.S. federal tax advice contained in this document is not intended or written to be used, and cannot be used, for the purpose of (i) avoiding penalties under the Internal Revenue Code or (ii) promoting, marketing or recommending to another party any transaction or matter that is contained in this document. 2
  • 3. Overview • Synopsis • Background to the first generation of Canadian income trusts • Introduction of the new generation of Canadian cross-border income trusts • Discussion of tax structuring considerations • Overview of Canadian IPO process • Appendix A – Case Studies • About Blakes 3
  • 4. Synopsis • The new cross-border income trust model may provide an attractive valuation proposition for vendors of U.S. domiciled assets that may also be suitable for U.S. MLPs • Investor appetite in the Canadian capital markets remains strong for yield product and is expected to support additional trust IPOs in Canada • The Canadian IPO process allows for completion of a transaction in 3-4 months, reducing execution risk relative to the U.S. registration process • Key drivers: – Underlying assets with stable, sustainable cash flow profile that will support distributions by the trust – Experienced management and strong board – Transparent structure that is compliant with Canadian SIFT requirements 4
  • 5. Act 1 – Scene 1 • The Canadian income trust structure first emerged 25 years ago • Concept was to create a publicly traded trust that paid holders of trust units a stable stream of cash distributions on a pre-tax basis • Adoption of the income trust model occurred initially in the oil and gas sector – IPOs by new royalty trusts/conversions of corporate entities to royalty trusts – Provided exit opportunity for suitable assets at attractive valuations • Oil and gas royalty trusts focused on ownership of long-life, producing oil and gas assets – Strategy of undertaking low risk exploitation and development activities rather than higher risk exploration activities – Sought producing assets with long RLI that generated predictable cash flows available for distribution to unitholders – Regular M&A required to replenish reserves and sustain production/cash flows 5
  • 6. Act 1 – Scene 1 • Over time, the Canadian income trust sector matured – In 1999, S&P adopted a Stability Ratings Scale for income trusts regarding the prospective relative stability of distributable cash flow generation – Creation of the S&P/TSX Income Trust Index as a modular component of the S&P/TSX Composite Index – Structure modified to accommodate a range of asset classes, including assets/businesses domiciled outside of Canada – Proliferation of specialized research coverage by a range of investment dealers – Specialized Canadian securities rules adopted for income trusts in 2004 via National Policy 41-201 – Income Trusts and Other Indirect Offerings – Limited liability legislation adopted by various provinces in 2004-5 to shield trust investors from personal liability – Evolution of investor base, from highly retail weighted to increasing institutional investor acceptance and participation, reflecting in part improved governance practices 6
  • 7. Act 1 – Scene 1 • The Canadian income trust market peaked in 2006 with 256 funds having an aggregate market cap of ~ $225 billion Oil & Gas Infrastructure Power Mining Diversified • By 2006, the trust sector had expanded to include a wide range of asset classes 7
  • 8. Act 1 – Scene 1 • Trust provides a flow-through vehicle for tax purposes and simpler Canadian tax reporting for the investor than a partnership unit • To meet eligibility for tax deferred retirement and education plans the trusts were structured as “mutual fund trusts” under the Canadian Tax Act • A “mutual fund trust” under the Canadian Tax Act must meet the following conditions: – The trust’s only undertaking must be the investing of funds in property (other than real property that is not capital property) – The trust must be a unit trust resident in Canada – The trust must meet prescribed conditions (150 unitholders each having a block of units with a cost of at least $500) with respect to the dispersal of units and public trading 8
  • 9. Act 1 – Scene 2 • On October 31, 2006, the Minister of Finance (Canada) announced the Canadian federal government’s proposal to change the tax treatment of publicly traded income trusts and other flow-through entities through the enactment of the “Specified Investment Flow-Through” (“SIFT”) rules. – The SIFT rules were introduced to level the playing field between publicly traded income trusts and corporations and eliminated the flow-through advantages associated with the use of a trust – Under the SIFT rules, the Canadian-source income of certain publicly traded mutual fund trusts is subject to an entity-level tax at a rate comparable to the combined Canadian federal and provincial corporate tax rate and the income distributed to holders of units in such trusts is taxed as dividends – The only Canadian asset exemption from the SIFT rules is for REITs 9
  • 10. Act 1 – Scene 2 • The SIFT rules had a dramatic impact on Canadian capital markets and immediately curtailed IPO activity by new income trusts and resulted in the conversion of many income trusts to a dividend paying corporate model and M&A activity 40 Oct 31, 2006 Introduction 35 of SIFT tax 8 30 6 5 25 6 4 # of Royalty Trusts 5 8 4 20 8 7 2 3 2 2 2 7 3 15 2 7 1 2 3 3 3 2 1 3 3 2 2 1 1 1 6 10 10 10 10 9 1 1 3 5 3 1 1 9 8 8 8 1 2 1 3 7 6 1 5 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 5 4 4 4 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1985 1986 1987 1988 1989 1990 1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 10
  • 11. Capital Markets Considerations • Fixed income securities currently providing historically low yields • Few Canadian companies paying > 7% dividend yield • Following contraction of income trust sector, investor yield appetite partially satisfied by preferred share and convertible debenture issuance TSX Equities(1) Yield Based Equity Issuance (Dividend Yield by Market Cap and Number of Companies) (2004 – Present) $30 $300,000 Market Capitalization (C$ Millions) _ 28 23 $24.3 36 $25 Number above bars indicates the $22.0 $250,000 number of companies within yield range $20 $18.4 30 $17.6 $200,000 $17.1 C$ billions $15.7 133 30 $15 $150,000 $12.0 $10.9 $100,000 20 $10 16 $50,000 6 $5 4 16 $0 $0 0 0% - 1% 1% - 2% 2% - 3% 3% - 4% 4% - 5% 5% - 6% 6% - 7% 7% - 8% 8% - 9% >9% 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011YTD Preferred Shares Unit Trusts Convertible Debentures (1) Includes equities with a market capitalization greater than $500 million, except ETFs. 11
  • 12. Arrival of the Cross-Border Trust • On November 24, 2010, Eagle Energy Trust closed its IPO of trust units in Canada, resulting in the first of a new generation of cross-border income trusts accessing the Canadian capital markets • Parallel Energy Trust completed an IPO in April 2011 • Argent Energy Trust filed a preliminary prospectus on August 8, 2011 for a proposed IPO • North American Oil Trust filed a preliminary prospectus on November 7, 2011 for a proposed IPO 12
  • 13. Arrival of the Cross-Border Trust Eagle Energy Trust Parallel Energy Trust IPO Closing Date November 24, 2010 April 21, 2011 IPO Proceeds C$169.5 million C$393 million (including greenshoe) (including greenshoe) Vendor Proceeds US$119.2 million + 2 million US$377.4 million trust units IPO Yield 10.5% 9.0% Reserves (P+P) 5,126 mbbls 28,830 Mboe RLI 8-12 years 13.3 years Acquired Interest 73% W.I. 59% W.I. 13
  • 14. Attributes of the Cross-Border Trust • To date, these new trusts have focused on acquiring producing oil and gas assets and are viewed as offering a potential monetization opportunity for owners of U.S. domiciled energy assets – Opportunity for additional IPOs by new income trusts – Exit strategy through asset sales to an existing income trust, particularly as the income trust sector expands and matures – May offer solution for assets (lower RLI and moderate to high PDP as a % of reserves) not suitable for the MLP model • Key attributes of completed cross-border trust IPOs: – Sustainability of distribution profile, including sustaining and expansion capital expenditures and debt service requirements – Seasoned and recognized management teams 14
  • 15. SIFT Trust Rules do not Apply • The new generation of trusts do not fall within the scheme of the SIFT trust rules • The SIFT trust rules only apply to a publicly traded Canadian trust which holds “non-portfolio property” • “Non-portfolio property” is a direct or indirect interest in – The assets of a business carried on in Canada, or – Canadian real property or resource property • A mutual fund trust (“MFT”) must not be "established or maintained primarily for the benefit of non-residents" of Canada which is generally interpreted to mean that no more than 49% of the units of a trust may be held by non- residents of Canada – New generation of trusts exempt from this non-resident ownership restriction 15
  • 16. Eagle / Parallel US Tax View Interest, Capital & Income Interest MFT Interest, Income Canada Notes & Capital Corp. CT Canada Partnership Income US Operating Partnership US Oil & Gas Assets US Oil & Gas Assets 16
  • 17. Eagle / Parallel • For US tax purposes, the Commercial Trust (“CT”) elects to be treated as a corporation, and therefore is taxed as a foreign corporation with effectively connected US income earned through a US branch • MFT treated as a partnership for US tax purposes • The interest on the Notes owed by CT to the MFT is treated as a portfolio interest and therefore exempt from US withholding tax • The interest and, in these early trusts, resource drilling and exploration deductions reduce US corporate tax (and US branch tax) on the effectively connected income • In Canada, the income from the US oil and gas partnership flows through both the CT and the MFT directly to the unitholders without incidence of Canadian corporate level tax 17
  • 18. North American Oil Trust US Tax View Interest, Capital & Eligible Dividends Canada MFT Corp. Dividends and Capital Canada Canada Notes Corp. Notes Corp. Canada Tax Exempt Dividends Dividends and Capital and Capital US US US Corp. Corp. US Oil & Gas US Oil & Gas Assets Assets 18
  • 19. North American Oil Trust • For US tax purposes, the MFT elects to be treated as a corporation and therefore interest on the Notes owed by US Corp to the MFT is entitled to the benefit of the 0 percent withholding rate under the Canada/US tax treaty • The interest and, in these early trusts, resource drilling and exploration deductions reduce US corporate tax on income of the US Corp • In Canada, the distributions from US Corp. to Canada Corp are treated as tax exempt dividends or returns of capital and are paid to the MFT as “eligible dividends” or tax free returns of capital • “Eligible dividends” are entitled to a lower effective rate of tax (approximately 20% less than ordinary income) • The MFT passes through the eligible dividends, returns of capital and interest income to the unitholders without intervening tax 19
  • 20. Interest Considerations • It is critical to either structure that the interest on the Notes is deductible for US purposes. There are 3 key issues, namely that: – the terms of the Notes will be respected as debt and not equity for US thin capitalization purposes – the interest expense not exceed 50% of EBITDA for the purposes of the earnings stripping rule in § 163(j) of the Code – The related party interest rate is defensible as an arm’s length rate for transfer pricing purposes • A US financial model is prepared and a debt study and interest rate study undertaken by an independent financial advisor to substantiate interest deductibility 20
  • 21. Other Tax Considerations • Additional structuring may be done underneath US Corp (e.g. use of a partnership for Texas margin tax purposes) • Anti-inversion rule in § 7874 of the Code is not applicable provided that the US vendor retains its interest in the underlying resource properties at the “working interest” level and not through the MFT or a subsidiary of the MFT • Modeling of these early trusts has shown limited US tax leakage in the form of AMT, and refundable FIRPTA withholding tax • US mind and management at the US Corp. level is beneficial for the Canadian treatment of the dividends from US Opco once US Opco has E&P for US purposes 21
  • 22. Canadian IPO Process • An income trust IPO can be completed in Canada in 3-4 months • Engage lead underwriter, legal counsel, auditors • Structuring and • Build financial due diligence model • Obtain third • Size and price • Draft preliminary party debt/interest • Clear comments prospectus issue study • Commence • Commence • Complete due roadshow and • Execute preparation of diligence marketing period underwriting financial statements agreement • File preliminary • Receive • Receive TSX and third party prospectus and first/second conditional listing • File final 15 – 16 reports obtain preliminary comment letter(s) approval prospectus and WEEKS • Identify board, receipt obtain receipt • Respond to • Negotiate management • Apply to TSX for first/second underwriting • Issue press release • Negotiate PSA listing comment letter(s) agreement • Close Trading commences WEEK 1 - 6 WEEK 7 - 8 WEEK 9 - 10 WEEK 11-14 WEEK 15 - 16 POST-OFFERING 22
  • 23. Canadian IPO Process • Securities commission prospectus review and clearance process in Canada takes approximately one month – Initial comment letter within 10 business days of filing preliminary prospectus – Common on IPOs to receive second (and potentially a third) comment letter – Issuer, lead underwriter(s), counsel and auditors prepare written responses to securities commission comments • TSX listing approval process takes approximately 6-8 weeks from filing of formal listing application – Key to engage early with listing staff – Early filing of PIFs and discussion of novel issues with listing staff, including financial statements, reserves, incentive and compensation arrangements – File formal listing application concurrent with preliminary prospectus 23
  • 24. Securities Law Considerations • Financial statement requirements – Acquired asset financial statements • Three years audited, plus unaudited interims within 45 days of date of prospectus • operating statements for oil and gas assets – Trust financial statements • Audited financial statements from date of formation to date not earlier than 90 days prior to the date of the prospectus – IFRS • Required for all financial years beginning on or after January 1, 2011 • Allowed for prior periods with exemptive relief from securities commission 24
  • 25. Securities Law Considerations • Reserve report – Required for any issuer engaged in oil and gas activities – Must be prepared in accordance with Canadian National Instrument 51-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities – Reserves must be evaluated by an independent evaluator – Different from SEC reserves reporting (i.e. forecast prices/costs for proved and probable reserves) – Reserve report key for: • development of the internal financial model prepared by the issuer/lead underwriter in connection with the IPO • statement of distributable cash contained in the prospectus 25
  • 26. Securities Law Considerations • Statement of Distributable Cash – Essential to IPO marketing efforts as source of estimated “distributable cash”, being the estimated future net cash to be generated by the income trust’s business available for distribution to public unitholders – Form and content regulated by Canadian National Policy 41-201 – Based off historical financial statements, asset development plan, reserve report, contractual arrangements and stated management assumptions (reasonable and supportable) – May be considered a “financial outlook” under Canadian securities rules thereby requiring disclosure in subsequently filed MD&A of material differences between actual results and the financial outlook 26
  • 27. Securities Law Considerations • Promoter and vendor liability – Under Canadian securities rules, a promoter is any person, acting alone or with others that, directly or indirectly, takes the initiative in founding or organizing the business of the issuer • “Promoter” includes a person who receives in consideration for property 10% or more of the proceeds from the sale of securities in connection with founding or organizing the business of the issuer except as consideration for property transferred to the issuer if that person does not otherwise take part in founding or organizing the business – Characterization as a promoter is highly fact specific – Promoters must certify the prospectus and have statutory liability (joint and several with issuer/underwriters) for prospectus misrepresentations – Securities commissions have indicated their expectation that vendors “take appropriate responsibility” for the information in the prospectus relating to the business being acquired by the income trust 27
  • 28. Securities Law Considerations • Due diligence – Underwriters have a due diligence defence for prospectus misrepresentations provided they have undertaken reasonable diligence investigations – For income trust IPOs, diligence will typically cover: • Structure documents (compliance with SIFT rules) • Purchase and sale agreement/PPAs • Commercial agreements (ROFRs, closing adjustments) • Environmental and title matters • Tax diligence, including use of third party debt capacity and debt/equity, and interest rate, studies/opinions – Diligence also needed to support borrowing base credit facility for income trust 28
  • 29. Securities Law Considerations • Other considerations – Governance • Capital markets expect governance structures and principles consistent with corporate issuers • Trust indenture; delegation by corporate trustee to management company board • Voting agreement to facilitate unitholder appointment of public board while complying with SIFT rules • Administrative services agreement • Domicile of mind and management 29
  • 30. Securities Law Considerations • Other considerations (cont’d) – U.S. securities law considerations • Concurrent exempt offering in the United States (typically utilizing Rule 144A) • Foreign private issuer implications – Lock-up agreements • No statutory or stock exchange escrow for IPOs >100 million but underwriters will expect insiders/vendors to enter into 180 day lock-up agreements – Founder stock; incentive/compensation arrangements – French translation of prospectus 30
  • 31. Commercial Agreements • Purchase and sale agreement • Joint operating agreement for third party operated assets • Joint development agreement • Credit agreement 31
  • 32. Appendix A – Case Studies 32
  • 33. Asset Profiles • Eagle acquired a 73% working interest in the Salt Flat Field – Light oil property located in Caldwell County, South Central Texas – Non operated at time of IPO; Eagle assumed operatorship in August 2011 – Rights to acquire additional assets • Net P+P reserves of 5,126 mbbls • Production at closing of >900 bbls/d • Estimated RLI of 8-12 years 33
