previously announced offering of 3.75% convertible senior notes due
2029 (the “Notes”) in an aggregate principal amount of US$172.5
million (the “Offering”), which includes exercise of the full

Debentures are not converted into shares prior to the redemption
date.
As previously announced, the Company has issued
a notice of redemption in respect of the Debentures, which are
expected to be redeemed on July 10, 2024. Holders of the Debentures
may choose to convert their Debentures prior to the redemption date
or receive a cash payment from the debenture trustee.
The Notes and the Shares issuable upon the
conversion thereof have not been and will not be registered under
the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”),
or qualified by a prospectus in Canada. The Notes and the Shares
may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration
under the Securities Act or an applicable exemption from
registration under the Securities Act.
This news release is neither an offer to sell
nor the solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes or any other
