Pursuant to the terms of the ASDPs, it is expected that the Participating Executives will not exercise any further discretion or influence over how dispositions will occur and will be subject to restrictions on their ability to modify, suspend or terminate their participation in the ASDPs. In accordance with best practices, the ASDPs will include a waiting period of 30 days from the date of adoption for the first dispositions under the plans.  Each ASDP will also provide that sales be evenly spaced among the months when selling is permitted, subject to permitted carry forward allowances following months in which less than the permitted maximum number of shares is sold.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:justify;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;">Dispositions pursuant to the ASDPs will be reported by the Participating Executives on SEDI in accordance with applicable securities laws.

The words "will", &#8220;intends&#8221;, &#8220;expects&#8221; and similar expressions are 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 entering into, the terms of and anticipated sales to be made under the ASDPs and/or pursuant to any Option Share Dispositions and SEDI filings related thereto. 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.

Material risk factors include those set out in APUC's MD&amp;A and annual information form for the year ended December 31, 2019. Given these risks, undue reliance should not be placed on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date hereof.
