Background

The Commission received applications by WIC Western International Communications Ltd. (WIC) to seek Commission approval for a multi-step intracorporate reorganization relating to several of WIC's wholly-owned subsidiaries. The intracorporate reorganization is a preliminary step contemplated in the definitive agreement between CanWest Global Communications Corp. (CanWest), Shaw Communications Inc. (Shaw), Corus Entertainment Inc. (Corus) and WIC (the definite agreement) dealing with the transfer of WIC assets. This step is a pre-requisite for the closing of the definitive agreement scheduled for February 29, 2000.

PHASE I

Phase I of this intracorporate reorganization involves the restructuring of the Television division of WIC by first amalgamating Newco Niagara Television Limited with its wholly-owned parent company, WIC Television Ltd. The amalgamated entity will also be named WIC Television Ltd. (WIC TV).

Subsequent to this amalgamation, WIC TV will transfer all of its television broadcasting assets into several newly created wholly-owned subsidiaries of WIC TV. The Commission notes that all of the new licences referred to in paragraphs A) to G) below would be issued upon surrender of the licences currently held by WIC TV on the same terms and conditions, except for a new condition required to implement the Commission's new television policy as set out in Public Notice CRTC 1999-97. More specifically:

PHASE II

Phase II of the intracorporate reorganization involves the restructuring of the pay-per-view and specialty programming services of WIC TV. Similar to Phase I, WIC Premium Television Ltd. (WIC Premium) is requesting authority to transfer all of the pay-per-view and specialty programming assets to several newly created wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Commission notes that the new licences referred to in paragraphs H) to K) would be issued upon surrender of the licences currently held by WIC Premium on the same terms and conditions. More specifically:

PHASE III

Phase III of the intracorporate reorganization involves the amalgamation of WIC Premium and WIC Radio Ltd. (WIC Radio) with the amalgamating company to be known as Purchaser Amalco Co. (OBCI) [Purchaser Amalco]. WIC is requesting the authority to then transfer 80 percent of the voting rights in Electronic Digital Delivery Inc. (EDD) to Purchaser Amalco, and for the authority to acquire all of the VOD assets from WIC Premium. More specifically:

The Commission notes that in the final phase of the reorganization, WIC TV will be wound up into WIC which will result in the transfer of effective control of all WIC TV subsidiaries to WIC. The winding up will also cause the transfer of WIC TV's interest in Canadian Satellite Communications Inc. as well as in the Report on Business Television Partnership (ROBTv) to WIC. More specifically:

Following the transactions described above, WIC will amalgamate with CanWest Newco (CanWest Purchaser), a subsidiary of CanWest Shareholdings Inc., to be continued as WIC Amalco, resulting in WIC Amalco having all of WIC's conventional television broadcasting stations, WIC's interest in ROBTv and certain other assets.

The Commission notes that, should the parties decide to close the transaction on February 29, 2000, prior to Commission approval of the definitive agreement, trust arrangements will be necessary. It is also understood that, should the Commission decide not to approve any trust arrangements, the above proposed intracorporate reorganization will only take place if and when a decision has been rendered by the Commission on the definitive agreement.

In the event that trust arrangements are approved, the intracorporate reorganization must be reflected in the trust arrangements.

The Commission points out that the proposed intracorporate reorganization will not prejudice its ability to decide on applications that will be filed for approval of the definitive agreement. The intracorporate reorganization will not limit the ability of other potential purchasers to acquire any of WIC's assets, should the Commission not approve the definitive agreement in whole or in part.

Furthermore, this notice is not to be interpreted in any manner as an indication that the Commission is predisposed to authorize the forthcoming applications that will be filed with respect to any part of the definitive agreement.
