Q: WPK is one of the stocks in my portolio which I hold in part for its stability. It's not the kind of stock I expect to drop 5% on no news on an otherwise okay trading day. Is there some news?

Q: As I write this, AVO is up 4.75% today. With no announcements, one must check the charts and doing so, I see no reason to buy at this point. Prices are well below the downtrend line, is still below the 20 day MA (but is approaching it. Volumes are about even with the 100 day MA. Frankly, considering Avigilon's propensity for volatility, I will wait for it to muster significant volume to the upside before I'll consider a re-entry.

Q: I would appreciate your comments and advice on whether I should add to my position in AQN at the new issue price of $8.90 which is available until September 16th.

As a new investor, I would very much appreciate your comments on how to move forward. ie. Do I call my online brokerage or do I just place a limit order myself at the new issue price?

Enjoy the ride, Peter!!!

Q: Hi 5i Team: In the last couple of days, WSP Global (WSP) and Sylogist (SYZ) has announced bought deals.

WSP Global: The Acquisition and other related transaction costs are being financed through a combination of:
•$502 million bought deal public offering (the "Offering") of subscription receipts of the Corporation (the "Subscription Receipts") at a price of $35.85 per Subscription Receipt (the "Offer Price") and up to additional gross proceeds of $75 million pursuant to an Over-Allotment Option (as defined below);

Is this interpreted as: $502M / $35.85 = approx. 14M additional shares (not including over-allotment)?

•$400 million private placement (the "Concurrent Private Placement") of subscription receipts of the Corporation (the "Placement Subscription Receipts") at a price of $35.85 per Placement Subscription Receipt to two existing shareholders, (i) Canada Pension Plan Investment Board ("CPPIB") and (ii) la Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec ("La Caisse") and up to additional gross proceeds of $60 million pursuant to the Additional Subscription Option.

Is this interpreted as: $400M / $35.85 = approx. 11M additional shares (not including over-allotment) purchased by CPPIB and La Cassie?

WSP Shares Outstanding before announcement is: 61.6M

If the above is correct, future WSP Shares outstanding would be approximately: 61.6M + 14M + 11M = 86.6M, therefore a 40.5% increase in shares outstanding. Is this correct?


Sylogist Ltd. ("Sylogist" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:SYZ) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement with Acumen Capital Finance Partners Limited ("Acumen"), pursuant to which Sylogist has agreed to issue, and Acumen has agreed to purchase on a "bought deal" basis, an aggregate of 1,820,000 common shares of the Company ("Common Shares") at a price of $11.00 per Common Share for total gross proceeds of $20,020,000 (the "Offering").

SYZ Shares Outstanding before announcement is: 22.4M

Therefore, the future SYZ Shares outstanding would be approximately: 22.4M + 1.82M = 24.2M, therefore an 8% increase in shares outstanding?

If my interpretation is incorrect for both companies, please advise. Thank you.
