8.3. Determination of Significance
(1) An acquisition of a business or related businesses is a significant acquisition, (a) for a reporting issuer that is not a venture issuer, if the acquisition satisfies 2 or more of the significance tests set out in subsection (2); and (b) for a venture issuer, if the acquisition satisfies either of the significance tests set out in paragraphs (2)(a) or (b) if “30%” is read as “100%”. (2) For the purposes of subsection (1), the significance tests are:
(a) The asset test: The reporting issuer's proportionate share of the consolidated assets of the business or related businesses exceeds 30% of the consolidated assets of the reporting issuer calculated using the audited annual financial statements of each of the reporting issuer and the business or the related businesses for the most recently completed financial year of each that ended before the acquisition date. (b) The investment test: The reporting issuer's consolidated investments in and advances to the business or related businesses as at the acquisition date exceeds 30% of the consolidated assets of the reporting issuer as at the last day of the most recently completed financial year of the reporting issuer ended before the acquisition date, excluding any investments in or advances to the business or related businesses as at that date.

REGULATION IN FORCE FROM JUNE 9, 2023 TO SEPTEMBER 18, 2025 Regulation 51-102 June 9, 2023 PAGE 42 (c) The profit or loss test: The reporting issuer's proportionate share of the consolidated specified profit or loss of the business or related businesses exceeds 30% of the consolidated specified profit or loss of the reporting issuer calculated using the audited annual financial statements of each of the reporting issuer and the business or related businesses for the most recently completed financial year of each ended before the acquisition date. (3) If an acquisition of a business or related businesses is significant based on the significance tests in subsection (2), (a) a reporting issuer that is not a venture issuer may re-calculate the significance using the optional significance tests in subsection (4); and (b) a venture issuer may re-calculate the significance using the optional significance tests in paragraphs (4)(a) or (b) if “30%” is read as “100%”. (4) The optional significance tests are:
(a) The asset test: The reporting issuer’s proportionate share of the consolidated assets of the business or related businesses exceeds 30% of the consolidated assets of the reporting issuer, calculated using the financial statements of each of the reporting issuer and the business or the related businesses for the most recently completed interim period or financial year of each, without giving effect to the acquisition. (b) The investment test: The reporting issuer's consolidated investments in and advances to the business or related businesses as at the acquisition date exceeds 30% of the consolidated assets of the reporting issuer as at the last day of the most recently completed interim period or financial year of the reporting issuer, excluding any investments in or advances to the business or related businesses as at that date. (c) The profit or loss test: The specified profit or loss calculated under the following subparagraph (i) exceeds 30% of the specified profit or loss calculated under the following subparagraph (ii):
(i) the reporting issuer's proportionate share of the consolidated specified profit or loss of the business or related businesses for the later of (A) the most recently completed financial year of the business or related businesses; or (B) the 12 months ended on the last day of the most recently completed interim period of the business or related businesses; (ii) the reporting issuer's consolidated specified profit or loss for the later of

REGULATION IN FORCE FROM JUNE 9, 2023 TO SEPTEMBER 18, 2025 Regulation 51-102 June 9, 2023 PAGE 43 (A) the most recently completed financial year, without giving effect to the acquisition; or (B) the 12 months ended on the last day of the most recently completed interim period of the reporting issuer, without giving effect to the acquisition. (4.1) For the purposes of subsections (2) and (4), the reporting issuer must not remeasure its previously held equity interest in the business or related businesses. (4.2) For the purposes of paragraphs (2)(b) and (4)(b), the reporting issuer's investments in and advances to the business or related businesses must include (a) the consideration transferred for the acquisition, measured in accordance with the issuer's GAAP, (b) payments made in connection with the acquisition which do not constitute consideration transferred but which would not have been paid unless the acquisition had occurred, and (c) contingent consideration for the acquisition measured in accordance with the issuer's GAAP. (5) Despite subsection (1) and for the purposes of subsection (3), an acquisition of a business or related businesses is not a significant acquisition, (a) for a reporting issuer that is not a venture issuer, if the acquisition does not satisfy at least 2 of the optional significance tests under subsection (4); or (b) for a venture issuer, if the acquisition would not satisfy the optional significance tests set out in paragraphs (4) (a) and (b) if “30%” were read as “100%”. (6) Despite subsection (3), the significance of an acquisition of a business or related businesses may be re-calculated using financial statements for periods that ended after the acquisition date only if, after the acquisition date, the business or related businesses remained substantially intact and were not significantly reorganized, and no significant assets or liabilities were transferred to other entities. (7) For the purposes of paragraphs (2)(c) and (4)(c), if any of the reporting issuer, the business or the related businesses has incurred a loss, the significance test must be applied using the absolute value of the loss from continuing operations attributable to owners of the parent, adjusted to exclude income taxes. (8) For the purposes of paragraph (2)(c) and clause (4)(c)(ii)(A), if the reporting issuer's consolidated specified profit or loss for the most recently completed financial year was lower by 20% or more than its average consolidated specified profit or loss for the 3 most recently completed financial years, the issuer may, subject to subsection (10), substitute the average consolidated specified profit or loss for the 3 most recently

REGULATION IN FORCE FROM JUNE 9, 2023 TO SEPTEMBER 18, 2025 Regulation 51-102 June 9, 2023 PAGE 44 completed financial years in determining whether the significance test set out in paragraph (2)(c) or (4)(c) is satisfied. (9) For the purpose of clause (4)(c)(ii)(B) if the reporting issuer's consolidated specified profit or loss for the most recently completed 12-month period was lower by 20% or more than its average consolidated specified profit or loss for the 3 most recently completed 12-month periods, the issuer may, subject to subsection (10), substitute the average consolidated specified profit or loss for the 3 most recently completed 12-month periods in determining whether the significance test set out in paragraph (4)(c) is satisfied. (10) If the reporting issuer's consolidated specified profit or loss for either of the 2 earlier financial periods referred to in subsections (8) and (9) is a loss, the reporting issuer's specified profit or loss for that period is considered to be zero for the purposes of calculating the average consolidated specified profit or loss for the 3 financial periods. (11) If a reporting issuer has made multiple investments in the same business, then for the purposes of applying subsections (2) and (4), (a) if the initial investment and one or more incremental investments were made during the same financial year, the investments must be aggregated and tested on a combined basis; (b) if one or more incremental investments were made in a financial year subsequent to the financial year in which an initial or incremental investment was made and the initial or previous incremental investments are reflected in audited annual financial statements of the reporting issuer previously filed, the reporting issuer must apply the significance tests set out in subsections (2) and (4) on a combined basis to the incremental investments not reflected in audited financial statements of the reporting issuer previously filed; and (c) if one or more incremental investments were made in a financial year subsequent to the financial year in which the initial investment was made and the initial investment is not reflected in audited annual financial statements of the reporting issuer previously filed, the reporting issuer must apply the significance tests set out in subsections (2) and (4) to the initial and incremental investments on a combined basis. (11.1) For the purposes of calculating the optional profit or loss test under clause (4)(c)(ii)(A), a reporting issuer may use pro forma consolidated specified profit or loss for its most recently completed financial year that was included in a previously filed document if (a) the reporting issuer has made a significant acquisition of a business after its most recently completed financial year; and (b) the previously filed document included

REGULATION IN FORCE FROM JUNE 9, 2023 TO SEPTEMBER 18, 2025 Regulation 51-102 June 9, 2023 PAGE 45 (i) audited annual financial statements of that acquired business for the periods required by this Part; and (ii) the pro forma financial information required by subsection 8.4(5) or (6). (12) In determining whether an acquisition of related businesses is a significant acquisition, related businesses acquired after the ending date of the most recently filed audited annual financial statements of the reporting issuer must be considered on a combined basis. (13) For the purposes of calculating the significance tests in subsections (2) and (4), the amounts used for the business or related businesses must (a) be based on the issuer's GAAP, and (b) be translated into the same presentation currency as that used in the reporting issuer's financial statements. (13.1) Paragraph 8.3(13)(a) does not apply to a venture issuer if (a) the financial statements for the business or related businesses referred to in subsections 8.3(2) and (4) (i) are prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP applicable to private enterprises, and (ii) are prepared in a manner that consolidates any subsidiaries and accounts for significantly influenced investees and joint ventures using the equity method; and (b) none of the accounting principles described in paragraphs 3.11(1)(a) through (e) of Regulation 52-107 respecting Acceptable Accounting Principles and Auditing Standards (chapter V-1.1, r. 25) were used to prepare financial statements for the business or related businesses referred to in subsections 8.3(2) and (4). (14) Despite subsections (2) and (4), the significance of an acquisition of a business or related businesses may be calculated using unaudited financial statements of the business or related businesses that comply with section 3.11 of Regulation 52-107 respecting Acceptable Accounting Principles and Auditing Standards if the financial statements of the business or related businesses for the most recently completed financial year have not been audited. (15) Despite subsections (2) and (4), the significance of an acquisition of a business or related businesses may be calculated using the audited financial statements for the financial year immediately preceding the reporting issuer’s most recently completed

REGULATION IN FORCE FROM JUNE 9, 2023 TO SEPTEMBER 18, 2025 Regulation 51-102 June 9, 2023 PAGE 46 financial year if the reporting issuer has not been required to file, and has not filed, audited financial statements for its most recently completed financial year.

REGULATION IN FORCE FROM JUNE 9, 2023 TO SEPTEMBER 18, 2025 Regulation 51-102 June 9, 2023 PAGE 82 FORM 51-102F1 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS
PART 1
GENERAL PROVISIONS
(a) Description of MD&A
MD&A is a narrative explanation, through the eyes of management, of how your company performed during the period covered by the financial statements, and of your company's financial condition and future prospects. MD&A complements and supplements your financial statements, but does not form part of your financial statements. Your objective when preparing the MD&A should be to improve your company's overall financial disclosure by giving a balanced discussion of your company's financial performance and financial condition including, without limitation, such considerations as liquidity and capital resources - openly reporting bad news as well as good news. Your MD&A should

• help current and prospective investors understand what the financial
  statements show and do not show;
• discuss material information that may not be fully reflected in the financial
  statements, such as contingent liabilities, defaults under debt, off-balance sheet financing arrangements, or other contractual obligations;
• discuss important trends and risks that have affected the financial
  statements, and trends and risks that are reasonably likely to affect them in the future; and
• provide information about the quality, and potential variability, of your
  company's profit or loss and cash flow, to assist investors in determining if past performance is indicative of future performance. (b) Date of Information In preparing the MD&A, you must take into account information available up to the date of the MD&A. If the date of the MD&A is not the date it is filed, you must ensure the disclosure in the MD&A is current so that it will not be misleading when it is filed. (c) Use of “Company” Wherever this Form uses the word “company”, the term includes other types of business organizations such as partnerships, trusts and other unincorporated business entities.

REGULATION IN FORCE FROM JUNE 9, 2023 TO SEPTEMBER 18, 2025 Regulation 51-102 June 9, 2023 PAGE 83 (d) Explain Your Analysis Explain the nature of, and reasons for, changes in your company's performance. Do not simply disclose the amount of change in a financial statement item from period to period. Avoid using boilerplate language. Your discussion should assist the reader to understand trends, events, transactions and expenditures. (e) Focus on Material Information Focus your MD&A on material information. You do not need to disclose information that is not material. Exercise your judgment when determining whether information is material. (f) Determination of what is Material Information Would a reasonable investor's decision whether or not to buy, sell or hold securities in your company likely be influenced or changed if the information in question was omitted or misstated? If so, the information is likely material. (g) Venture Issuers If your company is a venture issuer, you have the option of meeting the requirement to provide interim MD&A under section 2.2 by instead providing quarterly highlights disclosure. Refer to Policy Statement to Regulation 51-102 respecting Continuous Disclosure Obligations (Decision 2006-PDG-0223, 2006-12-12) for guidance on quarterly highlights. If your company is a venture issuer without significant revenue from operations, in your MD&A including any quarterly highlights, focus your discussion and analysis of financial performance on expenditures and progress towards achieving your business objectives and milestones. (h) Reverse Takeover Transactions If an acquisition is a reverse takeover, the MD&A should be based on the reverse takeover acquirer's financial statements. (i) (paragraph revoked). (j) Resource Issuers If your company has mineral projects, your disclosure must comply with Regulation 43-101 respecting Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (chapter V-1.1, r. 15), including the requirement that all scientific and technical disclosure be based on a technical report or other information prepared by or under the supervision of a qualified person.

REGULATION IN FORCE FROM JUNE 9, 2023 TO SEPTEMBER 18, 2025 Regulation 51-102 June 9, 2023 PAGE 84 If your company has oil and gas activities, your disclosure must comply with Regulation 51-101 respecting Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities (chapter V-1.1, r. 23). (k) Numbering and Headings The numbering, headings and ordreing of items included in this Form are guidelines only. Disclosure provided in response to any item need not be repeated elsewhere. (l) Omitting Information You do not need to respond to any item in this Form that is inapplicable. (m) Defined Terms If a term is used but not defined in this Form, refer to Part 1 of Regulation 51-102 respecting Continuous Disclosure Obligations (chapter V-1.1, r. 24) and to Regulation 14-101 respecting Definitions (chapter V-1.1, r. 3). If a term is used in this Form and is defined in both the securities statute of the local jurisdiction and in Regulation 51-102 respecting Continuous Disclosure Obligations, refer to section 1.4 of Policy Statement to Regulation 51-102 respecting Continuous Disclosure Obligations (Decision 2012-PDG-0236, 2012-12-20) for further guidance. This Form also uses accounting terms that are defined or used in Canadian GAAP applicable to publicly accountable enterprises. For further guidance, see subsections 1.4(7) and (8) of Policy Statement to Regulation 51-102 respecting Continuous Disclosure Obligations. (n) Plain Language Write the MD&A so that readers are able to understand it. Refer to the plain language principles listed in section 1.5 of Policy Statement 51-102 respecting Continuous Disclosure Obligations for further guidance. If you use technical terms, explain them in a clear and concise manner. (o) Available Prior Period Information If you have not presented comparative financial information in your financial statements, in your MD&A you must provide prior period information relating to financial performance that is available. (p) Use of “Financial Condition” This Form uses the term “financial condition”. Financial condition reflects the overall health of the company and includes your company's financial position (as shown on the statement of financial position) and other factors that may affect your company's liquidity, capital resources and solvency.

  section 1.3 based on your annual financial statements.

While summaries are to be clear and concise, they are subject to the normal prohibitions against false and misleading statements. (iii) Quarterly highlights prepared in accordance with section 2.2.1 are not required for your company’s fourth quarter as relevant fourth quarter content will be contained in your company’s annual MD&A prepared in accordance with Item 1 (see section 1.10).

(i) the company paid directly to an individual employed, or retained by the external management company, who is acting as an NEO or director of the company; and (ii) the external management company paid to the individual that is attributable to the services they prIded to the company directly or indirectly. (c) If an external management company provides the company’s executive management services and also provides executive management services to another company, disclose the entire compensation the external management company paid to

REGULATION IN FORCE FROM JUNE 9, 2023 TO SEPTEMBER 18, 2025 Regulation 51-102 June 9, 2023 PAGE 158 the individual acting as an NEO or director, or acting in a similar capacity, in connection with services the external management company provided to the company, or the parent or a subsidiary of the company. If the management company allocates the compensation paid to an NEO or director, disclose the basis or methodology used to allocate this compensation. Commentary An NEO may be employed by an external management company and provide services to the company under an understanding, arrangement or agreement. In this case, references in this form to the CEO or CFO are references to the individuals who performed similar functions to that of the CEO or CFO. They are generally the same individuals who signed and filed annual and interim certificates to comply with Regulation 52-109 respecting Certification of Disclosure in Issuers’ Annual and Interim Filings (chapter V-1.1, r. 27). (5) Director and NEO compensation Disclose any compensation awarded to, earned by, paid to, or payable to each director and NEO, in any capacity with respect to the company. Compensation to directors and NEOs must include all compensation from the company and its subsidiaries. Disclose any compensation awarded to, earned by, paid to, or payable to, an NEO, or director, in any capacity with respect to the company, by another person or company. (6) Determining if an individual is an NEO For the purpose of calculating total compensation awarded to, earned by, paIto, or payable to an individual under paragraph (c) of the definition of NEO, (a) use the total compensation that would be reported under column (i) of the summary compensation table required by section 3.1 for each executive officer, as if that executive officer were an NEO for the company’s most recently completed financial year, and (b) exclude from the calculation, (i) any compensation that would be reported under column (g) of the summary compensation table required by section 3.1, (ii) any incremental payments, payables, and benefits to an executive officer that are triggered by, or result from, a scenario listed in section 6.1 that occurred during the most recently completed financial year, and (iii) any cash compensation that relates to foreign assignments that is specifically intended to offset the impact of a higher cost of living in the foreign location, and is not otherwise related to the duties the executive officer performs for the compaI

REGULATION IN FORCE FROM JUNE 9, 2023 TO SEPTEMBER 18, 2025 Regulation 51-102 June 9, 2023 PAGE 159 Commentary The $150,000 threshold in paragraph (c) of the definition of NEO only applies when determining who is an NEO in a company’s most recently completed financial year. If an individual is an NEO in the most recently completed financial year, disclosure of compensation in prior years must be provided if otherwise required by this form even if total compensation in a prior year is less than $150,000 in that year. (7) Compensation to associates Disclose any awards, earnings, payments, or payables to an associate of an NEO, or of a director, as a result of compensation awarded to, earned by, paid to, or payable to the NEO or the director, in any capacity with respect to the company. (8) New reporting issuers (a) Disclose information in the summary compensation table for the 3 most recently completed financial years since the company became a reporting issuer. (b) Despite paragraph (a), do not provide information for a completed financial year if the company was not a reporting issuer for any part of that financial year, unless the company became a reportI issuer as a result of a restructuring transaction. (c) If the company was not a reporting issuer at any time during the most recently completed financial year and the company is completing the form because it is preparing a prospectus, discuss all significant elements of the compensation to be awarded to, earned by, paid to, or payable to NEOs of the company once it becomes a reporting issuer, to the extent this compensation has been determined. Commentary

1. Unless otherwise specified, information required to be disclosed under this form
   may be prepared in accordance with the accounting principles the company uses to prepare its financial statements, as permitted by Regulation 52-107 respecting Acceptable Accounting Principles and Auditing Standards (chapter V-1.1, r. 25).
2. The definition of “director” under securities legislation includes an individual who
   acts in a capacity similar to that of a director.
   (9) Currencies
   Companies must report amounts required by this form in Canadian dollars or in the same currency that the company uses for its financial statements. A company must use the same currency in the tables in sections 3.1, 4.1, 4.2, 5.1, 5.2 and 7.1 of this form. If compensation awarded to, earned by, paid to, or payable to an NEO was in a currency other than the currency reported in the prescribed tables of this form, state the currency in which compensation was awarded, earned, paid, or payable, disclose the

REGULATION IN FORCE FROM JUNE 9, 2023 TO SEPTEMBER 18, 2025 Regulation 51-102 June 9, 2023 PAGE 160 currency exchange rate and describe the methodology used to translate the compensation into Canadian dollars or the currency that the company uses in its financial statements. (10) Plain language Information required to be disclosed under this form must be clear, concise, and presented in such a way that it provides a reasonable person an understanding of, (a) how decisions about NEO and director compensation are made; and (b) how specific NEO and director compensation relates to the overall stewardship and governance of the company. Commentary Refer to the plain language principles listed in section 1.5 of Policy Statement to Regulation 51-102 respecting Continuous Disclosure Obligations (Decision 2012-PDG-0223, 2006-12-12) for further guidance. ITEM 2 COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
2.1 Compensation discussion and analysis
(1) Describe and explain all significant elements of compensation awarded to, earned by, paid to, or payable to NEOs for the most recently completed financial year. Include the following:
(a) the objectives of any compensation program or strategy; (b) what the compensation program is designed to reward; (c) each element of compensation; (d) why the company chooses to pay each element; (e) how the company determines the amount (and, where applicable, the formula) for each element; and (f) how each element of compensation and the company’s decisions about that element fit into the company’s overall compensation objectives and affect decisions about other elements. (2) If applicable, describe any new actions, decisions or policies that were made after the end of the most recently completed financial year that could affect a reasonable person’s understanding of an NEO’s compensation for the most recently completed financial year.

REGULATION IN FORCE FROM JUNE 9, 2023 TO SEPTEMBER 18, 2025 Regulation 51-102 June 9, 2023 PAGE 161 (3) If applicable, clearly state the benchmark and explain its components, including the companies included in the benchmark group and the selection criteria. (4) If applicable, disclose performance goals or similar conditions that are based on objective, identifiable measures, such as the company’s share price or earnings per share. If performance goals or similar conditions are subjective, the company may describe the performance goal or similar condition without providing specific measures. If the company discloses performance goals or similar conditions that are non￾GAAP financial measures, explain how the company calculates these performance goals or similar conditions from its financial statements. Exemption The company is not required to disclose performance goals or similar conditions in respect of specific quantitative or qualitative performance-related factors if a reasonable person would consider that disclosing them would seriously prejudice the company’s interests. For the purposes of this exemption, a company’s interest’s are not considered to be seriously prejudiced solely by disclosing performance goals or similar conditions if those goals or conditions are based on broad corporate-level financial performance metrics which include earnings per share, revenue growth, and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. This exemption does not apply if it has publicly disclosed the performance goals or similar conditions. If the company is relying on this exemption, state this fact and explain why disclosing the performance goals or similar conditions would seriously prejudice the company’s interests. If the company does not disclose specific performance goals or similar conditions, state what percentage of the NEO’s total compensation relates to this undisclosed information and how difficult it could be for the NEO, or how likely it will be for the company, to achieve the undisclosed performance goal or similar condition. (5) Disclose whether or not the board of directors, or a committee of the board, considered the implications of the risks associated with the company’s compensation policies and practices. If the implications were considered, disclose the following:
(a) the extent and nature of the board of directors’ or committee’ role in the risk oversight of the company’s compensation policies and practices; (b) any practices the company uses to identify and mitigate compensation policies and practices that could encourage an NEO or individual at a principal bus©ss unit or division to take inappropriate or excessive risks;

REGULATION IN FORCE FROM JUNE 9, 2023 TO SEPTEMBER 18, 2025 Regulation 51-102 June 9, 2023 PAGE 162 (c) any identified risks arising from the company’s compensation policies and practices that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the company. (6) Disclose whether or not an NEO or director is permitted to purchase financial instruments, including, for greater certainty, prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars, or units of exchange funds, that are designed to hedge or offset a decrease in market value of equity securities granted as compensation or held, directly or indirectly, by the NEO or director. Commentary

1. The information disclosed under section 2.1 will depend on the facts. Provide
   enough analysis to allow a reasonable person to understand the disclosure elsewhere in this form. Describe the significant principles underlying policies and explain the decisions relating to compensation provided to an NEO. Disclosure that merely describes the process for determining compensation or compensation already awarded, earned, paid, or payable is not adequate. The information contained in this section should give readers a sense of how compensation is tied to the NEO’s performance. Avoid boilerplate language.
2. If the company’s process for determining executive compensation is very simple,
   for example, the company relies solely on board discussion without any formal objectives, criteria and analysis, then make this clear in the discussion.
3. If the company used any benchmarking in determining compensation or any
   element of compensation, include the benchmark group and describe why the benchmark group and selection criteria are considered by the company to be relevant.
4. The following are examples of items that will usually be significant elements of
   disclosure concerning compensation:

• contractual or non-contractual arrangements, plans, process changes or
  any other matters that might cause the amounts disclosed for the most recently completed financial year to be misleading if used as an indicator of expected compensation levels in future periods;
• the process for determining perquisites and personal benefits;
• policies and decisions about the adjustment or recovery of awards,
  earnings, payments, or payables if the performance goal or similar condition on which they are based are restated or adjusted to reduce the award, earning, payment, or payable;
• the basis for selecting events that trigger payment for any arrangement that
  provides for payment at, following or in connection with any termination or change of control;

REGULATION IN FORCE FROM JUNE 9, 2023 TO SEPTEMBER 18, 2025 Regulation 51-102 June 9, 2023 PAGE 163

• any waiver or change to any specified performance goal or similar condition
  to payout for any amount, including whether the waiver or change applied to one or more specified NEOs or to all compensation subject to the performance goal or similar condition;
• whether the board of directors can exercise a discretion, either to award
  compensation absent attainment of the relevant performance goal or similar condition or to reduce or increase the size of any award or payout, including if they exercised discretion and whether it applied to one or more named executive officers;
• whether the company will be making any significant changes to its
  compensation policies and practices in the next financial year;
• the role of executive officers in determining executive compensation; and
• performance goals or similar conditions in respect of specific quantitative or
  qualitative performance-related factors for NEOs.

5. The following are examples of situations that could potentially encourage an
   executive officer to expose the company to inappropriate or excessive risks:

• compensation policies and practices at a principal business unit of the
  company or a subsidiary of the company that are structured significantly differently than others within the company;
• compensation policies and practices for certain executive officers that are
  structured significantly differently than other executive officers within the company;
• compensation policies and practices that do not include effective risk
  management and regulatory compliance as part of the performance metrics used in determining compensation;
• compensation policies and practices where the compensation expense to
  executive officers is a significant percentage of the company’s revenue;
• compensation policies and practices that vary significantly from the overall
  compensation structure of the company;
• compensation policies and practices where incentive plan awards are
  awarded upon accomplishment of a task while the risk to the company from that task extends over a significantly longer period of time;
• compensation policies and practices that contain performance goals or
  similar conditions that are heavily weighed to short-term rather than long-term objectives;
• incentive plan awards that do not provide a maximum benefit or payout limit
  to executive officers.

REGULATION IN FORCE FROM JUNE 9, 2023 TO SEPTEMBER 18, 2025 Regulation 51-102 June 9, 2023 PAGE 164 The examples above are not exhaustive and the situations to consider will vary depending upon the nature of the company’s business and the company’s compensation policies and practices.
2.2 Performance graph
(a) This section does not apply to
(i) venture issuers,
(ii) companies that have distributed only debt securities or non￾convertible, non-participating preferred securities to the public, and (iii) companies that were not reporting issuers in any jurisdiction in Canada for at least 12 calendar months before the end of their most recently completed financial year, other than companies that became new reporting issuers as a result of a restructuring transaction. (b) Provide a line graph showing the company’s cumulative total shareholder return over the 5 most recently completed financial years. Assume that $100 was invested on the first day of the 5-year period. If the company has been a reporting issuer for less than 5 years, use the period that the company has been a reporting issuer. Compare this to the cumulative total return of at least one broad equity market index that, to a reasonable person, would be an appropriate reference point for the company’s return. If the company is included in the S&P/TSX Composite Total Return Index, use that index. In all cases, assume that dividends are reinvested. Discuss how the trend shown by this graph compares to the trend in the company’s compensation to executive officers reported under this form over the same period. Commentary For section 2.2, companies may also include other relevant performance goals or similar conditions.
2.3 Share-based and option-based awards
Describe the process the company uses to grant share-based or option-based awards to executive officers. Include the role of the compensation committee and executive officers in setting or amending any equity incentive plan under which a share￾based or option-based award is granted. State whether previous grants are taken into account when considering new grants.

2.4 Compensation governance
(1) Describe any policies and practices adopted by the board of directors to determine the compensation for the company’s directors and executive officers. (2) If the company has established a compensation committee (a) disclose the name of each committee member and, in respect of each member, state whether or not the member is independent or not independent; (b) disclose whether or not one or more of the committee members has any direct experience that is relevant to his or her responsibilities in executive compensation; (c) describe the skills and experience that enable the committee to make decisions on the suitability of the company’s compensation policies and practices; and (d) describe the responsibilities, powers and operation of the committee. (3) If a compensation consultant or advisor has, at any time since the company’s most recently completed financial year, been retained to assist the board of directors or the compensation committee in determining compensation for any of the company’s directors or executive officers (a) state the name of the consultant or advisor and a summary of the mandate the consultant or advisor has been given; (b) disclose when the consultant or advisor was originally retained; and (c) if the consultant or advisor has provided any services to the company, or to its affiliated or subsidiary entities, or to any of its directors or members of management, other than or in addition to compensation services provided for any of the company’s directors or executive officers, (i) state this fact and briefly describe the nature of the work, (ii) disclose whether the board of directors or compensation committee must pre-approve other services the consultant or advisor, or any of its affiliates, provides to the company at the request of management, and (d) For each of the two most recently completed financial year, disclose, (i) under the caption “Executive Compensation-Related Fees”, the aggregate fees billed by each consultant or advisor, or any of its affiliates, for services related to determining compensation for any of the company’s directors and executive officers, and (ii) under the caption “All Other Fees”, the aggregate fees billed for all other services provided by each consultant or advisor, or any of its affiliates, that are not

REGULATION IN FORCE FROM JUNE 9, 2023 TO SEPTEMBER 18, 2025 Regulation 51-102 June 9, 2023 PAGE 166 reported under subparagraph (i) and include a description of the nature of the services comprising the fees disclosed under this category. Commentary For section 2.4, a director is independent if he or she would be independent within the meaning of section 1.4 of Regulation 52-110 respecting Audit Committees (chapter V￾1.1, r. 28). ITEM 3 SUMMARY COMPENSATION TABLE
3.1 Summary compensation table
Despite paragraph 1.3(8)(a), for each NEO in the most recently completed financial year, complete this table for each of the company’s 3 most recently completed financial years that end on or aft€December 31, 2008. Name and principal position (a) Year (b) Salary ($) (c) Share￾based awards ($) (d) Option￾based awards ($) (e) Non-equity incentive plan compensation ($) (f) Pension value ($) (g) All other compensation ($) (h) Total compensation ($) (i) Annual incentive plans (f1) Long￾term incentive plans (f2) CEO ____ ____ CFO ____ ____ A ____ ____ B ____ ____ C ____ ____ Commentary Under subsection (1), a company is not required to disclose comparative period disclosure in accordance with the requirements of either Form 51-102F6, which came into force on March 30, 2004, as amended, or this form,I respect of a financial year ending before December 31, 2008.

REGULATION IN FORCE FROM JUNE 9, 2023 TO SEPTEMBER 18, 2025 Regulation 51-102 June 9, 2023 PAGE 167 (2) In column (c), include the dollar value of cash and non-cash base salary an NEO earned during a financial year covered in the table (a covered financial year). If the company cannot calculate the amount of salary earned in a financial year, disclose this in a footnote, along with the reason why it cannot be determined. Restate the salary figure the next time the company prepares this form, and explain what portion of the restated
figure represents an amount that the company could not previously calculate.
(3) In column (d), disclose the dollar amount based on the fairIlue of the award on the grant date for a covered financial year. (4) In column (e), disclose the dollar amount based on the fair value of the award on the grant date for a covered financial year. Include option-based awards both with or w©out tandem share appreciation rights. (5) For an award disclosed in column (d) or (e), in a narrative after the table, (a) describe the methodology used to calculate the fair value of the award on the grant date, disclose the key assumptions and estimates used for each calculation, and explain why the company chose that methodology, and (b) if the fair value of the award on the grant date is different from the fair value determined in accordance with IFRS 2 Share-based Payment (accounting fair value), state the amount of the difference and explain the reasons for the difference. Commentary

1. This commeIry applies to subsections (3), (4) and (5).
2. The value disclosed in columns (d) and (e) of the summary compensation table
   should reflect what the company paid, made payable, awarded, granted, gave or otherwise provided as compensation on the grant date (fair value of the award) ’s set out in comment 3, below. This value might differ from the value reported in the issuer's financial statements.
3. While compensation practices vary, there are generally 2 approaches that boards
   of directors use when setting compensation. A board of directors may decide the value in securities of the company to be awarded or paid as compensation. Alternatively, a board of directors may decide the portion of the potential ownership of the company to be transferred as compensation. A fair value ascribed to the award will normally result from these approaches. A company may calculate this value either in accordance with a valuation methodology identified in IFRS 2 Share-based Payment or in accordance with another methodology set out in Iment 5 below.
4. In some cases, the fair value of the award disclosed in columns (d) and (e) might
   differ from the accounting fair value. For financial statement purposes, the accounting fair

REGULATION IN FORCE FROM JUNE 9, 2023 TO SEPTEMBER 18, 2025 Regulation 51-102 June 9, 2023 PAGE 168 value amount is amortized over the service period to obtain an accounting cost (accounting compensation expense), adjusted at year end as required.
5. While the most commonly used methodologies for calculating the value of most
types of awards are the Black-Scholes-Merton model and the binomial lattice model, companies may choose to use another valuation methodology if it produces a more meaningful and reasonable estimate of fair value.
6. The summary compensation table requires disclosure of an amount even if the
accounting compensation expense is zero. The amount disclosed in the table should reflect the fair value of the award following the principles described under comments 2 and 3, above.
7. Column (d) includes common shares, restricted shares, restricted share units,
deferred share units, phantom shares, phantom share units, common share equivaleIunits, stock, and similar instruments that do not have option-like features. (6) In column (e), include the incremental fair value if, at any time during the covered financial year, the company has adjusted, amended, cancelled, replaced or significantly modified the exercise price of options previously awarded to, earned by, paid to, or payable to, an NEO. The repricing or modification date must be determined in accordance with IFRS 2 Share-based Payment. The methodology used to calculate the incremental fair value must be the same methodology used to calculate the initial grant. This requirement does not apply to any repricing that equally affects all holders of the class of securities underlying the options and that occurs through a pre-existing formula or mechanism in the plan or award that results in the periodic adjustment of the option exercise or base price, an antidilution provision in a plan or award, or a recapitalization or similar transaction. (7) Include a footnote to the table quantifying the incremental fair value of any adjusted, amended, cancelled, replaced or significantly modified options that are included in the table. (8) In column (f), include the dollar value of all amounts earned for services performed during the covered financial year that are related to awards under non-equity incentive plans and all earnings on any such outstanding awards. (a) If the relevant performance goal or similar condition was satisfied during a covered financial year (including for a single year in a plan with a multi-year performance goal or similar condition), report the amounts earned for that financial year, even if they are payable at a later date. The company is not required to report these amounts again in the summary compensation table when they are actually paid to an NEO. (b) Include a footnote describing and quantifying all amounts earned on non￾equity incentive plan compensation, whether they were paid during the financial year,

REGULATION IN FORCE FROM JUNE 9, 2023 TO SEPTEMBER 18, 2025 Regulation 51-102 June 9, 2023 PAGE 169 werIayable but deferred at the election of an NEO, or are payable by their terms at a later date. (c) Include any discretionary cash awards, earnings, payments, or payables that were not based on predetermined performance goals or similar conditions that were communicated to an NEO. Report any performance-based plan awards that include pre￾determined performance goals or similar conditions in column (f). (d) In column (f1), include annual non-equity incentive plan compensation, such as bonuses and discretionary amounts. For column (f1), annual non-equity incentive plan compensation relates only to a single financial year. In column (f2), include all non￾equity incentive plan compensation related to a period longer than one year. (9) In column (g), include all compensation relating to defined benefit or defined contribution plans. These include service costs and other compensatory items such as plan changes and earnings that are different from the estimated earnings for defined benefit plans and abovemarket earnings for defined contribution plans. This disclosure relates to allIans that provide for the payment of pension plan benefits. Use the same amounts included in column (e) of the definedInefit plan table required by Item 5 for the covered financial year and the amounts included in column (c) of the defined contribution plan table as required by Item 5 for the covered financial year. (10) In column (h), include all other compensation not reported in any other column of this table. Column (h) must include, but is not limited to:
(a) perquisites, including property or other personal benefits provided to an NEO that are not generally available to all employees, and that in aggregate are worth $50,000 or more, or are worth 10% or more of an NEO’s total salary for the financial year. Value these items on the basis of the aggregate incremental cost to the company and its subsidiaries. Describe in a footnote the methodology used for computing the aggregate incremental cost to the company. State the type and amount of each perquisite the value of which exceeds 25% of the total value of perquisites reported for an NEO in a footnote to the
table. Provide the footnote information for the most recently completed financial yearIly;
(b) other post-retirement benefits such as health insurance or life insurance after retirement; (c) all “gross-ups” or other amounts reimbursed during the covered financial year for the payment of taxes; (d) the incremental payments, payables, and benefits to an NEO that are triggered by, Iresult from, a scenario listed in section 6.1 that occurred before the end of the covered financial year;

REGULATION IN FORCE FROM JUNE 9, 2023 TO SEPTEMBER 18, 2025 Regulation 51-102 June 9, 2023 PAGE 170 (e) the dollar value of any insurance premiums paid or payable by, or on behalf of, the company during the covered financial year for personal insurance for an NEO if the estate of the NEO is the beneficiary; (f) the dollar value of any dividends or other earnings paid or payable on share￾based or option-based awards thaIere not factored into the fair value of the award on the grant date required to be reported in columns (d) and (e); (g) any compensation cost for any security that the NEO bought from the company or its subsidiaries at a discount from the market price of the security (through deferral of salary, bonus or otherwise). Calculate this cost at the date of purchase and in accordance with IFRS 2 Share-based Payment; and (h) above-market or preferential earnings on compensation that is deferred on a basis that is not tax exempt other than for defined contribution plans covered in the defined contribution plan table in Item 5. Above-market or preferential applies to non￾registered plans and means a rate greater than the rate ordinarily paid by the company or its subsidiary on securities or other obligations having the same or similar features issued to third parties. (i) any company conttion to a personal savings plan like a registered retirement savings plan made on behalf of the NEO. Commentary M. 1. Generally, there will be no incremental payments, payables, and benefits that are triggered by, or result from, a scenario described in section 6.1 that occurred before the end of a covered financial year for compensation that has been reported in the summary compensation table for the most recently completed financial year or for a financial year before the most recently completed financial year. If the vesting or payout of the previously reported compensation is accelerated, or a performance goal or similar condition in respect of the previously reported compensation is waived, as a result of a scenario described in section 6.1, the incremental payments, payables, and benefits should include the value of the accelerated benefit or of the waiver of the performance goal or similar condition.
2. Generally, an item is not a perquisite if it is integrally and directly related to the
performance of an executive officer’s duties. If something is necessary for a person to do his or her job, it is integrally and directly related to the job and is not a perquisite, even if it also provides some amount of personal benefit. If the company concludes that an item is not integrally and directly related to performing the job, it may be a perquisite if the item provides an NEO with any direct or indirect personal benefit. If it does provide a personal benefit, the item is a perquisite,

REGULATION IN FORCE FROM JUNE 9, 2023 TO SEPTEMBER 18, 2025 Regulation 51-102 June 9, 2023 PAGE 171 whether or not it is provided for a business reason or for the company’s convenience, unless it is generally available on a non-discriminatory basis to all employees. Companies must conduct their own analysis of whether a particular item is a perquisite. The following are examples of things that are often considered perquisites or personal benefits. This list is not exhaustive:

• Cars, car lease and car allowance;
• Corporate aircraft or personal travel financed by the company;
• Jewellery;
• Clothing;
• Artwork;
• Housekeeping services;
• Club membership;
• Theatre tickets;
• Financial assistance to provide education to children of executive officers;
• Parking;
• Personal financial or tax advice;
• Security at personal residence or during personal travel; and
• Reimbursements of taxes owed with respect to perquisites or other personal
  benefit.
  (11) In column (i), include the dollar value ofItal compensation for the covered financial year. For each NEO, this is the sum of the amounts reported in columns (c) through (h). (12) Any deferred amounts must be included in the appropriate column for the covered financial year in which they are earned. (13) If an NEO elected to exchange any compensation awarded to, earned by, paid to, or payable to the NEO in a covered financial year under a program that allows the NEO to receive awards, earnings, payments, or payables in another form, the compensation the NEO elected to exchange must be reported as compensation in the column appropriate for the form of compensation exchanged: Do not report it in the form in which it was or will be received by the NEO. State in a footnote the form of awards, earnings, payments, or payables substituted for the compensation the NEO elected to exchange.

3.2 Narrative discussion
Describe and explain any significant factors necessary to understand the information disclosed in the summary compensation table required by section 3.1. Commentary The significant factors described in section 3.2 will vary depending on the circumstances of each award but may include:

• the significant terms of each NEO’s employment agreement or
  arrangement;
• any repricing or other significant changes to the terms of any share-based
  or option-based award program during the most recently completed financial year; and
• the significant terms of any award reported in the summary compensation
  table, including a general description of the formula or criterion to be applied in
  determining the amounts payable and the vesting schedule. For example, if dividends will be paid on shares, state this, the applicable dividend rate and whether that rate is preferential.
  3.3 (Repealed)
  3.4 Officers who also act as directors
  If an NEO is also a director who receives compensation for services as a director, include that compensation in the summary compensation table and include a footnote explaining which amounts relate to the director role. Do not provide disclosure for that NEO under Item 7. ITEM 4 INCENTIVE PLAN AWARDS
  4.1 Outstanding share-based awards and option-based awards
  (1) Complete this table for each NEO for all awards outstanding at the end of the most recently completed financial year.

annual benefits payable at the presumed X years of credited service at year end retirement age used to calculate the closing present value of the defined benefit obligation years of credited service at the presumed retirement age The company may calculate the annual lifetime benefit payable in accordance with another formula if the company reasonably believes that it produces a more meaningful calculation of the annual lifetime benefit payable at year end.

If something is necessary for a person to do his or her job, it is integrally and directly related to the job and is not a perquisite, even if it also provides some amount of personal benefit. (5) If non-cash compensation, other than compensation required to be disclosed in
section 2.3, was provided or is payable, disclose the fair market value of the
compensation at the time it was earned or, if it is not possible to calculate the fair market value, disclose that fact in a note to the table and the reasons why. (6) In the column entitled “Value of all other compensation”, include all of the following:

(7) Despite subsection (1), it is not necessary to disclose Canada Pension Plan, similar government plans and group life, health, hospitalization, medical reimbursement and relocation plans that do not discriminate in scope, terms or operation that are generally available to all salaried employees.
