Item 1(a)
Name of Issuer:
Edperbrascan Corporation
Item 1(b)
Address of Issuer's Principal Executive Offices:
181 Bay Street, suite 4440, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5J 2T3
Item 2(a)
Name of Person Filing:
Global Strategy Financial Inc. ("GSFI")
Global Strategy Group of Funds (the "Funds")
GSFI, a corporation incorporated under the laws of Ontario, is the manager and
trustee of the Fund, which is a trust organized under the laws of Ontario,
Canada. GSFI is qualified to act as an investment advisor and manager of the
Funds in the Province of Ontario pursuant to a registration under the Securities
Act (Ontario).
The Funds are the owner of record of common shares representing, to the
knowledge of GSFI, approximately 7.13% of all outstanding securities of that
class. GSFI specifically disclaims any beneficial ownership of the reported
securities but, as an investment manager, GSFI maintains exclusive power to
exercise investment control or direction over such securities for its managed
accounts as the beneficial owners. Consequently, GSFI may be deemed to be the
beneficial owner of such securities.
GSFI is of the view that it and the Funds are not acting as a "group" for
purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "1934
Act") and that it and the Funds are not otherwise required to attribute to each
other the "beneficial ownership" of securities "beneficially owned" under Rule
13d-3 promulgated under the 1934 Act. Therefore, it is of the view that the
common shares held by the Funds should not be aggregated with any such shares
owned by GSFI for purposes of Section 13(d). However, GSFI is making this filing
on a voluntary basis as if all of the shares were beneficially owned by GSFI and
the Funds on a joint basis.
