The vesting terms are: one third (1/3) one (1) year after the date of grant, one third (1/3) two (2) years after the grant, and one third (1/3) three (3) years after the grant.

In accordance with the Corporation's New Plan, the Board of Directors granted, earlier today, to:

• directors of the Corporation, an aggregate of 900,000 Deferred Share Units of the Corporation (the "DSUs"), each DSU conferring upon its holder the right to receive, without payment of any consideration, one Common Share or, at the Corporation's option, a cash payment equal to the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan) of such Common Share (with the additional option of receiving any combination of cash and Common Shares), the whole in accordance with Part 5 of the Plan; and
