The average daily trading volume (the ADTV) of the Class A Subordinate Voting Shares was 1,349 on the TSX over the last six completed calendar months, and the ADTV of the Class B Common Shares was 5 on the TSX over the last six completed calendar months.  Accordingly, under the policies of the TSX, the Company is entitled to purchase, during any one trading day, up to 1,000 Class A Subordinate Voting Shares and up to 1,000 Class B Common Shares on any trading day.  The Company is entitled to purchase a larger amount of Class A Subordinate Voting Shares and Class B Common Shares per calendar week, subject to the maximum number that may be acquired under the normal course issuer bid, if the transaction meets the block purchase exception under the TSX rules.

The Directors and Senior Management of the Company are of the opinion that from time to time the purchase of its shares at the prevailing market price would be a worthwhile investment and in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. The Company acquired 1,128,300 of its Class A Subordinate Voting Shares at a weighted average price of $9.51 per Class A Subordinate Voting Share and none of its Class B Common Shares pursuant to its Normal Course Issuer Bid ended June 5, 2017.
