Certain participants under the MRA constitute related parties of the Company and accordingly the MRA constitutes a “related party transaction” of the Company under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). The Company is relying on the exemption from the requirement to obtain a formal valuation pursuant to section 5.5(g) of MI 61-101, which provides an exemption where the criteria set out therein are met.

The Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) has provided their conditional approval of the MRA, including that the MRA be approved by the Company’s disinterested shareholders at the next Annual Meeting of Shareholders, which will also be sought in compliance with the requirements for minority shareholder approval under MI 61-101.
