Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Effective July 8, 2009 Keewatin Windpower Corp. (“Keewatin”) entered into a share exchange agreement with Sky Harvest Windpower Corp. (“Sky Harvest”) and the shareholders of Sky Harvest dated for reference May 11, 2009, pursuant to which Keewatin will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Sky Harvest (the “Transaction”). Sky Harvest is a private company incorporated under the laws of Canada in the business of wind power generation.
Pursuant to the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement, each shareholder of Sky Harvest will receive 1.5 shares in the capital of Keewatin for each 1 common share of Sky Harvest they hold. In order to minimize any adverse tax consequences for Canadian shareholders of Sky Harvest, Canadian shareholders have the option of receiving exchangeable shares of Keewatin’s wholly owned Canadian subsidiary Keewatin Windpower Inc. Each exchangeable share can be exchanged into one Keewatin common share subject to the terms and conditions of the exchangeable shares. If the Transaction is completed, Sky Harvest will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Keewatin and Keewatin will change its name from “Keewatin Windpower Corp.” to “Sky Harvest Windpower Corp.” and operate the business of Sky Harvest.
Closing of the Transaction is subject to a number of conditions including: (i) receipt of all required regulatory or third party approvals and consents required to consummate the Transaction; (ii) satisfactory completion or waiver of each of the parties covenants in the Share Exchange Agreement; (iii) the issuance by Keewatin of the special voting share contemplated in the Share Exchange Agreement; (iv) the entry by Keewatin and the relevant parties into the voting and exchange trust agreement and the voting and exchange trust agreement; and (v) delivery by Sky Harvest to Keewatin of all substantive information about its assets and personnel satisfactory to Keewatin for completion of any required public disclosure of the Transaction. In connection with the Transaction, Keewatin received a fairness opinion prepared by an independent valuator.
The current directors of the Company are also directors, officers and shareholders of Sky Harvest. The directors of the Company own 53% of Sky Harvest’s issued and outstanding common shares. Upon closing of the Transaction, KWC intends to develop the Sky Harvest wind power project on approximately 8,500 acres of land located in southwestern Saskatchewan.
A copy of the Share Exchange Agreement is filed as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
