Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the impact of the Controller's Group's shift from Non-Voting to Common Shares on voting control dynamics.
- Confirm the total value of the Controller's exchange transactions, as the filing lists quantities but omits the aggregate price/value for the large block trades.
- Review the full August 2009 financial results (revenue, net income) in the company's primary earnings release, as this Form 6-K does not contain them.
- Check for any subsequent filings regarding the specific "Credit Exchange" and "Debit Exchange" mechanisms used by the Controller's Group.
