(“Upserve”) announced by Lightspeed today, all of the outstanding multiple voting shares in the capital of Lightspeed (“Multiple Voting Shares”) have been automatically converted into Subordinate Voting Shares, on a one-for-one basis as a result of the automatic conversion ownership threshold attached to the Multiple Voting Shares having been crossed, all in accordance with their terms.

The Subordinate Voting Shares shall continue to carry one vote per share.
