Pursuant to the Rescission Agreement, the parties agreed to apply to the Ontario Superior Court of Justice for an order to rescind the transactions contemplated by the PSA, nunc pro tunc such that, to the maximum extent practicable, each of Holyrood, Partners LP and the REIT will be in the same position as they were in prior to the completion of such transactions. Subject to the receipt of a court order and satisfaction of certain other conditions, the Rescission Agreement will result in, among other things, the 1,188,188 REIT Units and 4,813,517 Class B Units owned by Holyrood being cancelled and the beneficial interest in the three properties acquired by the REIT pursuant to the PSA remaining in Holyrood. The completion of the Rescission Agreement remains subject to obtaining an order from the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, consent from Holyrood's lender to the release of its security with respect to the REIT Units and the Class B Units issued to Holyrood, consents from the mortgagees of the applicable properties, as well as the satisfaction of other conditions specified in the Rescission Agreement.
