TORONTO,
ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Feb. 28, 2010) - Toromont Industries Ltd.
("Toromont") (TSX:TIH) announced today that it has completed the
acquisition of all of the remaining trust units of Enerflex Systems Income Fund
("Enerflex") (TSX:EFX.UN) pursuant to its earlier announced "Tax
Efficient Subsequent Acquisition". Toromont now owns all of the
outstanding trust units of Enerflex.
"Integration
planning efforts are well advanced," said Robert M. Ogilvie, Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer of Toromont Industries Ltd. "Our natural gas and process
compression business is now combined under the Enerflex banner, we have the
senior management team in place and our planning phase is essentially complete.
I am pleased with the progress seen to date."
For
each trust unit transferred pursuant to the Tax Efficient Subsequent
Acquisition, the holder was permitted to elect to receive either $14.25 in cash
or 0.5382 of a Toromont common share plus $0.05 in cash, in each case subject
to pro ration. Former trust unitholders who elected the cash alternative will
receive $14.25 in cash for each trust unit and those who elected the share
alternative will receive .2776 of a Toromont common share and $6.926 in cash
for each trust unit. Former trust unitholders will be sent the consideration to
which they are entitled only after the depositary for the Tax Efficient
Subsequent Acquisition has received from them a properly completed and executed
letter of transmittal with the certificate(s) representing their trust units
and any other documents required by the letter of transmittal. Any trust
unitholder that failed to make these deliveries prior to 5:00 p.m. (Calgary
time) on February 26, 2010 will be deemed to have elected the share
alternative.
The
Enerflex trust units ceased to be listed for trading on the Toronto Stock
Exchange at the close of markets on February 26, 2010. Toromont intends to
wind-up Enerflex and Enerflex Holdings Limited Partnership and, as a result,
each of Enerflex and Enerflex Holdings Limited Partnership will cease to be a
reporting issuer.
