Composition of Units:

2


 

 

 

·      a prepaid stock purchase contract issued by the Company (a “Purchase Contract”); and

 

·      a senior amortizing note issued by the Company (an “Amortizing Note”), which has an initial principal amount of $8.5143 per Amortizing Note, bears interest at a rate of 4.00% per annum and has a final installment payment date of March 15, 2023.

 

 

 

Fair Market Value of the Units:

 

The Company has determined that the fair market value of each Purchase Contract is $41.4857 and the fair market value of each Amortizing Note is $8.5143.

 

 

 

Reference Price:

 

$50.00 divided by the then applicable Maximum Settlement Rate (as defined below) (the “Reference Price”), which is initially approximately equal to the Subordinate Voting Shares Public Offering Price per share in the Subordinate Voting Shares Offering described above.

 

 

 

Threshold Appreciation Price:

 

$50.00 divided by the then applicable Minimum Settlement Rate (as defined below) (the “Threshold Appreciation Price”), which is initially approximately $22.80 (C$30.40) and represents a premium of approximately 20% over the Reference Price.

 

 

 

Minimum Settlement Rate:

 

2.1930 Subordinate Voting Shares per Purchase Contract, subject to adjustment as described in the Units Preliminary Prospectus (the “Minimum Settlement Rate”).

 

 

 

Maximum Settlement Rate:

 

2.6316 Subordinate Voting Shares per Purchase Contract, subject to adjustment as described in the Units Preliminary Prospectus (the “Maximum Settlement Rate”).

 

 

 

Settlement Rate:

 

The following table illustrates the settlement rate per Purchase Contract and the value of Subordinate Voting Shares issuable upon settlement on the “mandatory settlement date” (as defined in the Units Preliminary Prospectus), determined using the “applicable market value” (as defined in the Units Preliminary Prospectus) shown, subject to adjustment as described in the Units Preliminary Prospectus:

The exact share price and effective date may not be set forth in the table above, in which case:

 

 

 

 

 

·      if the applicable share price is between two share prices in the table or the applicable effective date is between two effective dates in the table, the fundamental change early settlement rate will be determined by straight line interpolation between the fundamental change early settlement rates set forth for the higher and lower share prices and the earlier and later effective dates, as applicable, based on a 365- or 366-day year, as applicable;

 

·      if the applicable share price is greater than $75.00 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner and at the same time as the share prices set forth in the column headings of the table above), then the fundamental change early settlement rate will be the Minimum Settlement Rate; or

 

·      if the applicable share price is less than $10.00 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner and at the same time as the share prices set forth in the column headings of the table above, the “Minimum Share Price”), the fundamental change early settlement rate will be determined as if the share price equaled the Minimum Share Price, and using straight line interpolation, as described in the first bullet of this paragraph, if the effective date is between two effective dates in the table.

 

The maximum number of Subordinate Voting Shares deliverable under a Purchase Contract is 2.6316, subject to adjustment in the same manner and at the same time as the fixed settlement rates as set forth under “Description of the Purchase Contracts—Adjustments to the Fixed Settlement Rates” in the Units Preliminary Prospectus.
