A total of 76,790,206 Common Shares, representing approximately 62.22% of the outstanding Common Shares, were represented in person or by proxy at the Meeting. Of the votes cast with respect to the Arrangement, an aggregate of 71,685,210 Common Shares were voted in favour of the Arrangement, representing approximately 93.35% of the votes cast on the resolution.

We look forward to the future of the combined company."
