Certain directors of the Company (the "
Interested Parties
") purchased or acquired direction and control
over an aggregate of 50,000 Premium FT Shares and 75,000 FT Shares in the Offering, accounting for

exemptions set forth in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101. The Company did not file a material
change report 21 days prior to the closing of the Offering as the details of the participation of the
