There were no modifications of opinion by PwC in PwC’s reports on the Company’s financial statements for the two most recently completed fiscal years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.

 

There have been no reportable events, including disagreements, consultations or unresolved issues, as defined in Section 4.11 of NI 51-102, in connection with the audits of the two most recent fiscal years and with any subsequent period to date.
