U.S. SHAREHOLDER INFORMATION UPDATE
Based on the results of its analysis, Automodular has concluded, for the year ended December 31, 2016, that it meets the definition of a Passive Foreign Investment Corporation (“PFIC”) as defined in the Internal Revenue Code. The U.S. tax laws regarding PFICs are extremely complex and shareholders are advised to consult their own tax advisors concerning the overall tax consequences of their respective investment in, and ownership of, shares of Automodular under United States federal, state, local and foreign law. It is Automodular’s intention to prepare and make available to U.S. shareholders a PFIC Annual Information Statement in order to allow U.S. shareholders to make certain tax elections. We expect that the information will be available on or about March 31, 2017 and that the information will be filed on SEDAR and posted on our website at www.automodular.com.
Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
