Pursuant to a reclassification exempt under Rule 16b-7, each common share, no par value (the "Common Shares"), was reclassified (the "Reclassification") into 0.5 Class A voting share, no par value (the "Class A Voting Shares"), and 0.5 Class B non-voting share, no par value (the "Class B Non-Voting Shares").

Fractional Class A Voting Shares and Class B Non-Voting Shares resulting from the adjustment were cancelled in exchange for a cash payment equal to the closing trading price of the Class A Voting Shares or Class B Non-Voting Shares, as applicable, on December 9, 2016, multiplied by the fraction cancelled. |
