EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment”) to the Registration Statement on Form F-10 (Registration No. 333-288100) (the “Registration Statement”) is being filed to increase the registration amount by $6,532 to permit the furnishing of the filing fee table exhibit with Inline eXtensible Business Reporting Language (iXBRL) which was inadvertently omitted from the initial filing of the Registration Statement. Accordingly, this Amendment consists of the facing page, this explanatory note, Parts II and III of the Registration Statement, the previously filed exhibits and the revised filing fee table exhibit. Other than as expressly set forth herein, this Amendment No. 1 does not, and does not purport to, amend, update, or restate the information in any item of the Registration Statement or reflect any events that have occurred after the Registration Statement was filed. Accordingly, this Amendment No. 1 should be read in conjunction with the Registration Statement.
PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED TO BE DELIVERED TO
OFFEREES OR PURCHASERS
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Under the Canada Business Corporations Act (the “CBCA”), the Registrant may indemnify a present or former director or officer of the Registrant or another individual who acts or acted at the Registrant's request as a director or officer, or an individual acting in a similar capacity, of another entity, against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by the individual in respect of any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other proceeding in which the individual is involved because of that association with the Registrant or other entity. The Registrant may not indemnify such an individual unless the individual acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Registrant, or, as the case may be, to the best interests of the other entity for which the individual acted as a director or officer or in a similar capacity at the Registrant's request and in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, the individual had reasonable grounds for believing that the individual’s conduct was lawful. With approval of a court and subject to the sentence above, the Registrant may indemnify such individuals in respect of an action by or on behalf of the Registrant or other entity to procure a judgment in its favor, to which the individual is made a party because of the individual’s association with the Registrant or other entity as described above. The Registrant may advance moneys to an individual described above for the costs, charges and expenses of a proceeding described above; however, the individual shall repay the moneys if the individual does not fulfill the conditions set out above in the second sentence under this heading. The aforementioned individuals are entitled to indemnification from the Registrant in respect of all costs, charges and expenses reasonably incurred by the individual in connection with the defense of any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other proceeding to which the individual is subject because of the individual's association with the Registrant or other entity as described above if the individual seeking indemnity was not judged by the court or other competent authority to have committed any fault or omitted to do anything that the individual described above ought to have done and provided the individual fulfills the conditions set out above in the second sentence under this heading.
The by-laws of the Registrant provide that, subject to the limitations contained in the CBCA, the Registrant shall, to the maximum extent permitted by law, indemnify a director or officer, a former director or officer, or an individual who acts or acted at the Registrant’s request as a director or officer, or an individual acting in a similar capacity, of another entity, and their heirs and personal representatives, against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by them in respect of any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other proceeding in which the individual is involved because of that association with the Corporation or other entity, provided the individual acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Registrant, or, as the case may be, to the best interests of the other entity for which they acted as director or officer, or in a similar capacity, at the Registrant's request, and, in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, the individual had reasonable grounds for believing that their conduct was lawful, and the Registrant shall advance monies to a director, officer or other individual for the costs, charges and expenses of a proceeding referred to above in accordance with the CBCA, subject to approval of a court. The by-laws of the Registrant provide that the Registrant may purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of a director or officer, a former director or officer, or an individual who acts or acted at the Registrant's request as a director or officer, or an individual acting in a similar capacity, of another entity, and their heirs and personal representatives, against any liabilities incurred by the individual in that individual’s capacity as a director or officer of the Registrant or in that individual’s capacity as a director or officer, or similar capacity, of another entity, if the individual acts or has acted in the capacity at the Registrant’s request, subject to the provisions of the CBCA. The indemnity provisions of the by-laws shall be in addition to and not in substitution for or limitation of any rights, immunities and protections to which a person is otherwise entitled.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the U.S. Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the U.S. Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
