As described in Note 5, the Company issued 15,750,000 common shares to Mubadala and will issue 6,000,000 common shares upon the receipt of an environmental license for PSN. The Company determined the fair value of the issued and contingently issuable shares to be $180.9 million and used the relative fair value method to allocate such amount between the common shares and the contingently issuable shares. The fair value of the contingently issuable shares, which are recognized in contributed surplus, was determined using a Black-Scholes model and applying an estimated probability of issuance. The value ascribed to the 15,750,000 common shares was $152.0 million and the ascribed value to the 6,000,000 contingently issuable common shares was $28.9 million.

e)Stock option plan

The Company has a rolling Stock Option Plan (the “Option Plan”) in compliance with the TSX policies for granting stock options. Under the Option Plan, the maximum number of common shares reserved for issuance may not exceed 10% of the total number of issued and outstanding common shares and, to any one option holder, may not exceed 5% of the issued common shares on a yearly basis. The exercise price of each stock option will not be less than the market price of the Company’s stock at the date of grant. Each stock option vesting period and expiry is determined on a grant-by-grant basis.

Diluted EPS158,691,279$22,489 $0.14 137,062,505$11,419 $0.08 
Diluted earnings per share amounts are calculated by adjusting the basic earnings per share to take into account the after-tax effect of interest and other finance costs associated with dilutive convertible debentures as if they were converted at the beginning of the period, and the effects of potentially dilutive stock options and share purchase warrants calculated using the treasury stock method. When the impact of potentially dilutive securities increases the earnings per share or decreases the loss per share, they are excluded for purposes of the calculation of diluted earnings per share.
13.    Share Capital (cont.)
The following table lists the number of warrants, stock options and Convertible Debenture which were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share. Instruments were excluded because either the instruments were not vested, the exercise prices exceeded the average market value of the common shares or the impact of including the in the money securities were anti-dilutive to EPS.
