    <div><br>
    </div>
    <div style="text-align: justify;"><font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Certain statements included in this news release constitute &#8220;forward-looking information&#8221; within the meaning of applicable securities laws in each of the
        provinces of Canada and the respective policies, regulations and rules under such laws and &#8220;forward-looking statements&#8221; within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (collectively, &#8220;forward-looking statements&#8221;).
        The words &#8220;expected&#8221;, &#8220;intends&#8221; and similar expressions are often intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. Specific forward-looking statements contained in this
        news release include, but are not limited to, the intention to not redeem the Series A Preferred Shares. These statements are based on factors or assumptions that were applied in drawing a conclusion or making a forecast or projection, including
        assumptions based on historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments. Since forward-looking statements relate to future events and conditions, by their very nature they require making assumptions and involve inherent risks
        and uncertainties. APUC cautions that although it is believed that the assumptions are reasonable in the circumstances, these risks and uncertainties give rise to the possibility that actual results may differ materially from the expectations set
        out in the forward-looking statements. Material risk factors include those set out in APUC&#8217;s most recent annual and interim management's discussion and analysis and most recent annual information form. Given these risks, undue reliance should not
        be placed on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of their dates. Other than as specifically required by law, APUC undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect new information, subsequent or
        otherwise.</font></div>
