All statements, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements. Generally, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words or phrases such as "expects", "anticipates", "plans", projects", "estimates", "assumes", "intends", "strategy", "goals", "objectives", "potential" or variations thereof, or stating that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "would", "might" or "will" be taken, occur or be achieved, or the negative of any of these terms or similar expressions. The forward-looking statements in this news release relate to, among other things: the proposed terms of the offering, the exercise of the over-allotment option, the proposed closing of the offering and the anticipated use of proceeds. These forward-looking statements are subject to a variety of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual events or results to differ from those expressed or implied, including, without limitation, risks relating to: market risk, the need to negotiate a purchase agreement with the initial purchasers of the Notes and to satisfy the conditions set forth in the purchase agreement for the Notes and the need to satisfy regulatory and legal requirements with respect to the offering, in addition to the other risks identified in the Company&#8217;s filings with Canadian securities regulators and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, which may be viewed at <font style="DISPLAY: inline; TEXT-DECORATION: underline">www.sedar.com</font> and <font style="DISPLAY: inline; TEXT-DECORATION: underline">www.sec.gov</font>, respectively.</font></div>

The Company cannot assure you that actual events, performance or results will be consistent with these forward-looking statements, and management's assumptions may prove to be incorrect. The Company's forward-looking statements reflect current expectations regarding future events and speak only as of the date hereof and the Company does not assume any obligation to update forward-looking statements if circumstances or management's beliefs, expectations or opinions should change other than as required by applicable law. For the reasons set forth above, you should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.</font></div>
