Share Consolidation and Name Change

 The new CUSIP number for the Resulting Issuer Shares is 02341J102 and the new ISIN is CA02341J1021. A letter of transmittal will be sent by mail to registered shareholders of the Company. The letter of transmittal will contain instructions on how registered shareholders can exchange their share certificates evidencing pre-Share Consolidation Common Shares for new share certificates or a new Direct Registration System advice (a “DRS”) representing the number of Resulting Issuer Shares to which they are entitled. No action is required by non-registered shareholders (shareholders who hold their shares through an intermediary) to effect the Share Consolidation and Name Change.

No fractional Resulting Issuer Shares will be issued upon the Share Consolidation. In the event a holder of Common Shares would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional Resulting Issuer Share in connection with the Share Consolidation, the number of Resulting Issuer Shares to be received by such shareholder will be rounded down to the next whole number if that fractional Resulting Issuer Share is less than one half (1/2) of a Resulting Issuer Share, and will be rounded up to the next whole number of Resulting Issuer Shares if that fractional Resulting Issuer Share is equal to or greater than one half (1/2) of a Resulting Issuer Share.
