additional Offered Common Shares and/or additional Flow‐Through S h ar e s at t he i r r e sp ec t i ve of f e r i ng
prices, provided that the maximum number of additional Offered Securities issued pursuant to the Over‐
Allotment Option does not exceed 15% of the aggregate number of Offered Securities sold under the base
Offering, solely to cover over‐allotments, if any, and for market stabilization purposes.
The Company understands that purchasers of Flow‐Through Shares under the Offering intend to: (i)
donate some or all of such Flow‐Through Shares to registered ch arities, who may sell such Flow‐Through
Shares to purchasers arranged by the Underwriters, and/or (ii) sell some or all of such Flow‐Through

described in (i) and (ii), collectively, the “Redistributed Shares”). The Flow‐Through Shares will only qualify
as “flow‐through shares” for purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and the Taxation Act (Québec) for
the original subscriber and will not qualify as “flow‐through shares” for a registered charity or subsequent
purchaser of the Redistributed Shares and consequently the Company will only renounce “Canadian

original subscriber of the Flow‐Through Shares. The Final Prospectus qualifies the distribution of the Flow‐
Through Shares as well as the subsequent distribution of the Redistributed Shares on the Closing Date or
the closing date for the Over‐Allotment Option, as applicable.
