 of the exercise, lapse, or redemption of a warrant by a U.S. Holder, as described under "-U.S. Holders-Exercise of a Warrant" or "-U.S. Holders-Dispositions of a Warrant," although to the extent a cashless exercise results in a taxable exchange, the tax consequences to the Non-U.S. Holder would be the same as those described under "-Non-U.S. Holders-Dispositions of Common Shares or Warrants." A Non-U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in a warrant would generally equal the Non-U.S. Holder's acquisition cost of the warrant (i.e., the portion of the Non-U.S. Holder's purchase price for a Unit that is allocated to the warrant, as described under "-General Treatment of Units"), increased by the amount of any constructive dividends included in income by such Non-U.S. Holder, as described under "-Possible Constructive Distributions."

Distributions on Warrants

We may make distributions on warrants in certain circumstances, as described above under "Description of Securities-Public Warrants." We expect to treat any distributions on the warrants as U.S.-source "fixed or determinable annual or periodical gains, profits and income." As a result, subject to the discussions below under "-U.S. Trade or Business Income," "-Information Reporting and Backup Withholding" and "-FATCA," Non-U.S. Holders generally will be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax at a 30% rate, or at a reduced rate prescribed by an applicable income tax treaty, on such distributions. However, the treatment of distributions on warrants is not entirely clear and Non-U.S. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of receiving distributions on the warrants.

In order to obtain a reduced rate of U.S. federal withholding tax under an applicable income tax treaty, Non-U.S. Holders will be required to provide a properly executed IRS Form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E (or, in each case, a successor form) certifying the Non-U.S. Holder's entitlement to benefits under such treaty. If a Non-U.S. Holder is eligible for a reduced rate of U.S. federal withholding tax under an income tax treaty, or otherwise determines that we over-withheld from distributions to the Non-U.S. Holder, it may obtain a refund or credit of any excess amounts withheld by filing an appropriate claim for a refund with the IRS.
