The Class A and Class B Debentures will be secured against the assets of the Corporation, subject to the priority of previously issued secured indebtedness and any further secured indebtedness as may be incurred in connection with government related emergency COVID measures (for details on such programs and the Company’s pending or potential applications, see the Company’s press releases dated April 6 and April 20, 2020).
