Q: A&W issued a release regarding a private placement this morning which itself isn't out of the ordinary.

However what caught my eye was what will happen with the proceeds. They will be given to 'certain indirect shareholders' for 'their personal financial planning requirements'. So the fund is selling units to Laurentian, and all of the money is being handed out to unknown shareholders. None of the funds will be distributed to other shareholders, nor will the Fund hold the cash.

I'm no expert but this doesn't pass the smell test. Am I missing something?

Q: Could you comment on the private placement, is this why the shares are down ~$1 this morning? will this put a ceiling on the share price until the placement closes?

'VANCOUVER, Feb. 17, 2017 /CNW/ - A&W Food Services of Canada Inc. ("Food Services") announced today that it has entered into an agreement with Laurentian Bank Securities Inc.

Q: Dear 5i,
I reviewed the Intrinsyc technology website to gain a better understanding of their products. ITC has a lot of innovative products/ideas with many future applications. I don't have a lot of knowedge in this area. What is there competitive advantage? Who are their main competitors? I assume there are many major tech companies developing similar products. ITC has a tiny market cap creating more risk/growth. What makes them a better company?
Thank you,
Kerri

Q: I know this is a bit of a crytal ball question. But do you expect the Bayer deal to go through? Any idea how long it would take?

I have held this for a couple of years and am wondering if the funds could be put to better use with a company like NVDA, ULTA or FB .... even though they are all in different industries?

Thanks for any guidance you can provide.
