Certain purchases under each of our 2013 Bid and 2012 Bid were made by way of private agreements entered into with arm’s length, third party sellers. Such private agreement purchases were made at a discount to the prevailing market price for the Company’s Common Shares and pursuant to issuer bid exemption orders issued by the Ontario Securities Commission. All other purchases of Common Shares are made at the market price at the time of purchase in accordance with the rules and policies of the TSX. Purchases may also be made on the NYSE in compliance with Rule 10b-18 under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
