Dear Sirs:
This letter is a follow up to the letter to you dated May 10, 2010 in which we requested a list of the holders of convertible securities of NHC (and supplemental lists).
As you are aware, Donald Kramer intends to cause Canada Healthcare to make an offer (the "Offer") to acquire all of the common shares of NHC at Cdn $0.95 per share. Canada Healthcare is not able to commence the Offer until it receives the requested securityholder list. In addition to the fiduciary obligations of the directors of NHC to their shareholders in connection with the Offer, NHC is obligated to deliver the requested list under section 3.4 of Multilateral Instrument 62-104 - Take-Over Bids and Issuer Bids. Accordingly, we request that NHC immediately deliver the requested lists to Donald Kramer at [email protected] (in accordance with his applications) or alternatively, to Kathleen Keilty at [email protected].
The Offer will be structured as a "permitted bid" under NHC's Shareholder Rights Plan Agreement dated April 15, 2009. In addition, the Offer will be subject to the following conditions, among others:
(a) that NHC does not enter into any agreements with respect to an alternative transaction; (b) that there has not been any "material adverse change" in NHC; (c) that the current directors of NHC resign with effect upon the take-up under the Offer of more than 50% of the common shares of NHC; and (d) that NHC does not amend any material contract in a manner that might reduce the economic value of the Offer, including any release of the physician limited partners of the Kirby or Palladium ASC from their non-competition covenants. The offer will not be subject to any financing condition. Yours truly, Canada Healthcare Acquisition Inc. By: Donald L. Kramer, M.D.
