____________________________________

(1)

On June 24, 2013, the Company completed, pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement with Goldman Sachs & Co. and Goldman Sachs Canada, Inc., a public offering for the sale of 27,058,824 of its common shares, no par value, at a price of $85.00 per share, or aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $2.3 billion. In connection with the issuance of these new common shares, the Company incurred approximately $30.7 million of issuance costs, which has been reflected as reduction to the gross proceeds from the equity issuance.

During the second quarter of 2013, 225,000 common shares were repurchased by the Company pursuant to a purchase agreement with Goldman, Sachs & Co. Under this purchase program, the repurchases were made by Goldman, Sachs & Co. in compliance with Rule 10b5-1(c)(1)(i) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. 217,294 of these common shares were repurchased on behalf of certain members of the Company’s Board of Directors, and were subsequently transferred to such directors, in connection with the share settlement of certain deferred stock units and restricted stock units held by such directors following the termination of the applicable equity program. The remaining 7,706 common shares were repurchased on behalf of the Company pursuant to the 2012 Securities Repurchase Program (and therefore these shares are included in the 507,957 of total common shares repurchased under the 2012 Securities Repurchase Program as of September 30, 2013) and were subsequently cancelled (see note 12 titled “SECURITIES REPURCHASE PROGRAM” for further information).
