May 5, 2021

An amended and restated preliminary prospectus dated May 5, 2021 (the “preliminary prospectus”), containing important information relating to the securities described in this document has been filed with the securities regulatory authorities in each of the provinces of Canada. A copy of the preliminary prospectus, and any further amendment, is required to be delivered with this document. The preliminary prospectus is still subject to completion. There will not be any sale or any acceptance of an offer to buy the securities until a receipt for a final prospectus has been issued. This document does not provide full disclosure of all material facts relating to the securities offered. Investors should read the preliminary prospectus, the final prospectus, and any amendment for disclosure of those facts, especially risk factors relating to the securities offered, before making an investment decision.

The preliminary prospectus constitutes a public offering of securities only in those jurisdictions where they may be lawfully offered for sale and therein only by persons permitted to sell such securities. The Offered Shares have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”), or any state securities laws and are being offered and sold in the United States exclusively to qualified institutional buyers, as defined in Rule 144A under the U.S. Securities Act. Each offeree in the United States is hereby notified that the offer and sale of Offered Shares to it is being made in reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act provided by Rule 144A thereunder. No securities regulatory authority has expressed an opinion about these securities and it is an offence to claim otherwise.
