UPON the application of JJR VI Acquisition Corp. (the "Applicant") to the Ontario Securities Commission (the "Commission") requesting the consent of the Commission for the Applicant to continue (the "Continuance") in another jurisdiction pursuant to subsection 4(b) of the Regulation;
AND UPON considering the application and the recommendation of the staff of the Commission;
AND UPON the Applicant having represented to the Commission that:
1. The Applicant was incorporated pursuant to the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the "OBCA") by certificate of incorporation effective on December 21, 2009 under the name J6 Acquisition Corp. On January 4, 2010 the Applicant changed its name to JJR VI Acquisition Corp.
2. The Applicant's head office is located at 5 Hazelton Avenue, Suite 300, Toronto, Ontario, M5R 2E1.
3. The authorized share capital of the Applicant consists of an unlimited number of common shares (the "Common Shares"), of which 10,700,000 Common Shares are issued and outstanding as at the date hereof.
4. The Common Shares of the Applicant are listed for trading on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange") under the symbol "JVI.P".
4. The Applicant is an offering corporation under the provisions of the OBCA and is a reporting issuer within the meaning of the Securities Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. S.5, as amended (the "Act"), and within the meaning of the Securities Act (British Columbia), R.S.B.C. 1996, c. 418 (the "BCSA") and the Securities Act (Alberta), R.S.A. 2000, c. S-4 (the "ASA"). The Applicant is not a reporting issuer in any other jurisdiction of Canada.
6. The Applicant proposes to make an application to the Director pursuant to Section 181 of the OBCA (the "Application for Continuance") for authorization to continue under the laws of the Cayman Islands.
7. Pursuant to subsection 4(b) of the Regulation, where a corporation is an offering corporation under the OBCA, the Application for Continuance must be accompanied by a consent of the Commission.
8. The Applicant is not in default under any provision of the Act or the regulations or rules made the Act, and is not in default under the BCSA or the ASA.
9. The Applicant is not in default of any of the rules, regulations or policies of the Exchange.
10. The Applicant is not a party to any proceeding nor, to the best of its knowledge, information and belief, any pending proceeding under the Act, BCSA or the ASA.
11. The Application for Continuance is being made in connection with a proposed business combination structured as a 'three cornered' amalgamation (the "Proposed Transaction") involving the Applicant, American Insurance Acquisition Inc., a corporation incorporated under the laws of Delaware ("AIA") and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Applicant ("Subco") to be incorporated under the laws of Delaware, pursuant to which the Applicant will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of AIA, and AIA and Subco will amalgamate as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Applicant ("Amalco").
12. The holders of Common Shares of the Applicant authorized the Continuance of the Applicant at a special meeting of shareholders (the "Meeting") held on August 20, 2010. The special resolution authorizing the Continuance was approved at the Meeting by 99.90% of the votes cast.
13. The management information circular of the Applicant, dated July 23, 2010, describing the Continuance (the "Information Circular"), provided to all the shareholders of the Applicant in connection with the Meeting, included full disclosure of the reasons for, and the implications of, the proposed Continuance, included a summary of the material differences between the Canada Business Corporations Act and the laws of the Cayman Islands and advised the shareholders of their dissent rights in connection with the Continuance, pursuant to section 185 of the OBCA.
14. The material rights, duties and obligations of a corporation governed by the laws of the Cayman Islands are substantially similar to those of a corporation governed by the OBCA.
15. The Applicant intends to remain a reporting issuer in Ontario and in the other jurisdictions where it is a reporting issuer after the Proposed Transaction.
16. As the Applicant does not intend to maintain a corporate office in Canada subsequent to the Continuance, the Applicant has provided an undertaking (the "Undertaking") to the Commission that it will complete and file an "Issuer Form of Submission to Jurisdiction and Appointment of Agent for Service of Process" in the form of Schedule "A" thereto (the "Submission to Jurisdiction Form") with the Commission through the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval (SEDAR) promptly following the effective date of the Continuance. The Undertaking also provides that the Applicant will maintain and update the information contained in the Submission to Jurisdiction Form, or furnish a new Submission to Jurisdiction Form, in accordance with the provisions contained therein. The form of Undertaking provided to the Commission is attached as Appendix "A".
AND UPON the Commission being satisfied that to do so would not be prejudicial to the public interest;
THE COMMISSION HEREBY CONSENTS to the continuance of the Applicant as a corporation under the laws of the Cayman Islands.
DATED this 27th day of August, 2010.
