Automatic Conversion of Multiple Voting Shares
The Company previously had Multiple Voting Shares issued and outstanding, but all such Multiple Voting Shares were automatically converted into Subordinate Voting Shares on a one-for-one basis on December 1, 2020 as a result of reaching the automatic conversion ownership threshold attached to the Multiple Voting Shares, all in accordance with their terms. As a result of such automatic conversion, the Subordinate Voting Shares are the Company’s only class of shares issued and outstanding, and they continue to carry one vote per share. Pursuant to the terms of the Company’s restated articles of incorporation, upon the automatic conversion of all of its issued and outstanding Multiple Voting Shares, the authorized and unissued Multiple Voting Shares as a class were automatically deleted entirely from the Company’s authorized capital, together with the rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching thereto, such that as at March 31, 2021, the Company has only two classes of shares authorized for issuance, being the Subordinate Voting Shares and the preferred shares.
