Mr. Brimm was added to the slate following the printing of the Meeting materials, and therefore his biography is not included in the Circular sent to the Company's shareholders in connection with the Meeting. Other than in respect of the information included in this press release, the addition of Mr. Brimm would not result in any material changes to the Circular. Following the addition of Mr. Brimm to the slate, included below is certain updated information about the Company's director nominees.

Not standing for re-election at the Meeting are Mario Di Pietro and Dave MacDonald, who have been directors since the initial public offering and contributed significantly to the development of the Company over the last three years.

Given the change to the slate, the Company expects to mail a new proxy to shareholders of record in respect of the Meeting, which will include Mr. Brimm as a director nominee. As indicated in the proxy and in accordance with applicable law, the securities represented by an applicable proxy will be voted as directed by the holder. However, if such a direction is not made in respect of any matter on the proxy, and the proxy appoints the Company's management nominees listed on the proxy as their proxyholder, the proxy will be voted as recommended by the Company's management. As such, all shares for which the Company's management nominees listed on the proxy are appointed as proxyholder, absent directions to the contrary, will be voted FOR Mr. Brimm's election.
