O.C. 200-2012, s. 1.
14.10. Notwithstanding section 39 of the Supplemental Pension Plans Act, (chapter R-15.1), the employer shall, during each fiscal year of the pension plan ending between 30 December 2010 and 1 January 2013, pay as employer contributions an amount which, when added to the member contributions, is equal to or greater than the total of the following amounts:
(1)  the amount of the current service contribution determined in accordance with sections 138 and 139 of the Act;
(2)  the amount obtained by multiplying by the following percentage the amortization payment determined in respect of the solvency deficiency established in accordance with the second paragraph, on the assumption that the amortization period is 5 years:
(a)  for the Régime de retraite des employés cadres et non syndiqués de Kruger Inc., registered under number 7300, 17%;
(b)  for the Régime de retraite des employés syndiqués de Kruger Inc. Bromptonville, registered under number 20637, 34%;
(c)  for the Régime de retraite des employés syndiqués de Kruger Inc. Trois-Rivières, registered under number 25451, 42%;

(3)  the special amortization payment provided for in section 14.12 required during the fiscal year.
For the purposes of paragraph 2 of the first paragraph and notwithstanding section 130 of the Act, the solvency deficiency, as at the date of an actuarial valuation of the plan, corresponds to the amount by which the surplus liabilities of the plan established in accordance with the third paragraph exceeds the assets of the pension plan, established in accordance with section 123 of the Act.
For the purposes of the second paragraph, the liabilities shall be equal to the sum of the following values:
(1)  the value of the obligations arising from the plan, assuming that the plan is terminated on the date of the actuarial valuation;
(2)  the value of the obligations arising from any amendment to the plan considered for the first time at the date of the valuation and made before 31 December 2009, such value having been calculated on the assumption that the effective date of the amendment is the valuation date.

14.11. Notwithstanding section 130 of the Supplemental Pension Plans Act (chapter R-15.1), no improvement unfunded actuarial liability is determined for an amendment made between 30 December 2009 and 1 January 2013 during an actuarial valuation of the plan.
O.C. 200-2012, s. 1.
14.12. Notwithstanding section 132 of the Supplemental Pension Plans Act (chapter R-15.1), where, further to an amendment made between 30 December 2009 and 1 January 2013, an actuarial valuation determines the value of additional obligations of a pension plan, a special amortization payment is determined.
The payment corresponds to the higher of the value of the additional obligations determined on a solvency basis or their value determined on a funding basis.
The special amortization payment shall be made as soon as the report on the first actuarial valuation to take the amendment into consideration is sent to the Régie. To such payment shall be added accrued interest, if any, from the date of the valuation, calculated at the rate referred to in section 48 of the Act.
O.C. 200-2012, s. 1.
14.13. For the fiscal years ending between 30 December 2010 and 1 January 2013, a pension plan referred to in section 14.9 is exempt from the application of section 42.1 of the Supplemental Pension Plans Act (chapter R-15.1).

No dividend shall be paid from the sale or assignation of any Kruger Inc. assets, whether those assets are sold or assigned in whole or in part, during such time that the weighted average of the degrees of solvency of the pension plans under section 14.9 remains below 90%, and, unless Kruger Inc. provides another acceptable guarantee, Kruger Inc. shall not proceed to distribute any revenue thus procured in any manner whatsoever, including by:
(1)  declaring or paying any other dividends, or buying back stock shares or other securities;
(2)  repaying any advance or loan to Kruger Inc. shareholders;
(3)  declaring any bonus or other type of payment to the shareholders;
Kruger Inc. or any corporation held directly or indirectly by Kruger Inc. may buy back any capital stock and pay any dividends on any type of share held by a Crown corporation, in particular:

(2)  further to the conversion of shares of any type in any corporation held directly or indirectly by Kruger Inc. into shares of any type in Kruger Inc.

That amount shall not exceed the amount required for the part of the plan related to the obligations under the first paragraph to be solvent.
O.C. 200-2012, s. 1.
