Redemption

The details of your right to effect a Redemption are as follows:

Redemption Deadline June 25, 2021
Redemption Amount per Class A Restricted Voting Share Approximately US$10.001

Upon payment in cash of the Redemption Amount, the Holders of the Class A Restricted Voting Shares so redeemed will have no further rights in respect of the Class A Restricted Voting Shares, including the right to participate in the growth of the combined company.

If Redemption of all of the Class A Restricted Voting Shares to be redeemed would be contrary to any provisions of applicable law, the Corporation will be obligated to redeem only the maximum number of Class A Restricted Voting Shares which the Corporation determines it is then permitted to redeem, such Redemptions will be made pro-rata (disregarding fractions of shares) according to the number of Class A Restricted Voting Shares required by each electing Holder to be redeemed by the Corporation, and the Corporation will either issue new certificates representing the Class A Restricted Voting Shares not redeemed by the Corporation, or will otherwise confirm such Class A Restricted Voting Shares as issued and deposited in book-entry form.

In the event a Holder deposits their Class A Restricted Voting Shares for Redemption and the Transaction is not completed, their Class A Restricted Voting Shares so deposited will be returned to such Holder (or re-deposited with CDS) and the rights of such Holder of the Class A Restricted Voting Shares will continue in accordance with the provisions of the Articles.

Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, no registered or beneficial Holder of Class A Restricted Voting Shares (other than CDS), together with any Affiliate thereof or any person acting jointly or in concert therewith, shall be entitled to require the Corporation to redeem Class A Restricted Voting Shares in excess of an aggregate of 15% of the Class A Restricted Voting Shares issued and outstanding (the “ Redemption Limitation ”). By its election to redeem, each registered Holder of Class A Restricted Voting Shares (other than CDS) and each beneficial Holder of Class A Restricted Voting Shares will be required to represent or will be deemed to have represented to the Corporation that, together with any Affiliate of such Holder and any other person with whom such Holder is acting jointly or in concert, such Holder is not redeeming Class A Restricted Voting Shares in excess of the Redemption Limitation.

Instructions for Redemption – Non-Registered Holders

A non-registered Holder who desires to exercise its Redemption rights in connection with the Transaction must do so by (i) causing a participant in the depository, trading, clearing and settlement systems administered by CDS (a “ CDS Participant ”) to deliver to CDS (at its office in the City of Toronto) on behalf of the Holder, notice (the “ Redemption Notice ”) of the Holder’s intention to redeem Class A Restricted Voting Shares in connection with the Transaction; such

1 The redemption amount per Class A Restricted Voting Share is payable in cash, in an amount equal to the pro-rata portion of: (a) the escrowed funds available in the escrow account at the time immediately prior to the Redemption Deadline, including interest and other amounts earned thereon; less (b) an amount equal to the total of (i) any applicable taxes payable by the Corporation on such interest and other amounts earned in the escrow account, and (ii) actual and expected expenses directly related to the redemption, each as reasonably determined by the Corporation, subject to the limitations described in the Corporation’s final long form prospectus dated August 5, 2020.

Holder should ensure that the CDS Participant is provided with notice of his or her intention to exercise his or her redemption privilege sufficiently in advance of the Redemption Deadline so as to permit the CDS Participant to deliver notice to CDS and so as to permit CDS to deliver notice to the Transfer Agent in advance of the Redemption Deadline.

By causing a CDS Participant to deliver to CDS a notice of the Holder’s intention to redeem Class A Restricted Voting Shares, a Holder shall be deemed to have irrevocably surrendered his, her, or its Class A Restricted Voting Shares for redemption and appointed such CDS Participant to act as his, her, or its exclusive settlement agent with respect to the exercise of the redemption right and the receipt of payment in connection with the settlement of obligations arising from such exercise.

Any Redemption Notice delivered by a CDS Participant regarding a Holder’s intent to redeem which CDS determines to be incomplete, not in proper form, or not duly executed shall for all purposes be void and of no effect and the redemption right to which it relates shall be considered for all purposes not to have been exercised. A failure by a CDS Participant to exercise redemption rights or to give effect to the settlement thereof in accordance with the Holder’s instructions will not give rise to any obligations or liability on the part of the Corporation to the CDS Participant or to the Holder.

If the deadline for depositing Class A Restricted Voting Shares held through an intermediary is not met by a Holder, such Holder’s Class A Restricted Voting Shares may not be eligible for redemption. Such deadline may be earlier than the Redemption Deadline.

Questions

Holders who have questions regarding the process for Redemption should immediately contact the CDS Participant through which they hold their Class A Restricted Voting Shares.
