Loopstra Nixon LLP advised TTNM Management Acquisition Limited on its going-private acquisition of Titanium Transportation Group Inc.
Loopstra
Nixon LLP is pleased to have acted as Canadian legal counsel to TTNM Management
Acquisition Limited and the management buyer group on the successfully
completed going-private acquisition of Titanium Transportation Group Inc.
(formerly TSX: TTNM; OTCQX: TTNMF), which closed on March 31, 2026.
Congratulations
to our client, TTNM Management Acquisition Limited, and to the management team
at Titanium on the successful completion of this landmark transaction. We were
proud to advise on what is one of the more sophisticated management-led
take-privates completed in the Canadian middle market in recent years.
The
transaction, valued at approximately $105 million, was effected by way of a
court-approved plan of arrangement under the Canada Business Corporations
Act at $2.22 per common share in cash, representing a 41% premium to
Titanium's pre-announcement closing price and a 42% premium to its 20-day
volume-weighted average price. Following closing, Titanium has been delisted
from the TSX and OTCQX and is exiting the public markets.
This was a
true cross-disciplinary mandate. The transaction was structured as an insider
bid and business combination subject to Multilateral Instrument 61-101 —
Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions, requiring
an independent special committee process, a formal valuation, majority of the
minority shareholder approval and enhanced disclosure. Loopstra Nixon led
principal commercial negotiations on behalf of the buyer group, structured the
rollover arrangements for management and key employees, navigated the conflicts
architecture inherent in any management-led take-private, secured Competition
Act clearance and Canada Transportation Act approval, and shepherded
the transaction through the management information circular, special meeting of
shareholders, interim and final orders of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice
(Commercial List), and ultimately closing and delisting, all on a 75-day deal
calendar from announcement.
The
Loopstra Nixon deal team was led by Allan Ritchie (Partner, Corporate,
M&A, Tax & Securities), and included Ian Scarlett (Partner,
Corporate), Matthew Grant (Partner, Securities), Michael Orlan
(Partner, Securities), Tamara Watson (Partner, Litigation), Ahmed Shafey (Partner, Litigation), Bobbi-Ann Wallace (Partner,
Competition), Althea Yip (Partner, Canada Transportation Act), Dylan Gervais (Associate, Tax) and Lily Modir (Associate, Corporate &
Securities).
A tip of
the hat to McCarthy Tétrault LLP, Miller Thomson LLP, Goodmans LLP, National
Bank Financial Inc., Laurel Hill Advisory Group and TSX Trust Company, who
rounded out the advisor lineup on the transaction.
