Newly enacted excessive interest and financing expenses limitation (“EIFEL”) rules

The Company is within the scope of the newly enacted Excessive Interest and Financing Expenses Limitation (“EIFEL”) rules, effective for taxation years beginning on or after October 1, 2023. Under the legislation, the Company and its Canadian subsidiaries are generally restricted on the deductibility of their respective interest and financing expense to the extent of an amount that is equal to a fixed percentage of the Company’s adjusted taxable income (as defined in the Federal Income Tax Act), subject to certain adjustments.
