<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:6%" ALIGN="justify"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="3">The Company&#146;s Board of Directors currently consists of five members divided into three classes, with the members of
each class serving three-year terms expiring at the third Annual General Meeting of Shareholders after their election. The Company&#146;s Board of Directors, upon the recommendation of the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee, has nominated:
(i)&nbsp;Scott Fink to stand for re-election as a Director at the Meeting, to hold office for a term of three years expiring at the 2018 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, and until his successor has been duly elected and qualified; and
(ii)&nbsp;Robin J. Hastings to stand for election as a Director of the Meeting, to hold office for a term of three years expiring at the 2018 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, and until his successor has been duly elected and qualified. No
other person has been nominated by the Board to stand for election as a director at the Meeting. Assuming a quorum is present, the election of each of Messrs. Fink and Hastings as a Director requires that a plurality of the total votes cast with
respect to Common Shares present, or represented, and entitled to vote at the Meeting vote in favor of his election. (Please note that brokers or other nominees who hold shares for you no longer have the discretionary authority to vote your
uninstructed shares in the election of directors.) In the event Mr.&nbsp;Fink or Mr.&nbsp;Hastings is unable to serve, the persons designated as proxies will cast votes for such other person in their discretion as a substitute nominee. The Board of
Directors has no reason to believe that either of the foregoing nominees will be unavailable, or if elected, will decline to serve. Messrs. Fink and Hastings are residents of the United States. Certain information is set forth below for each of the
nominees for Director, as well as for each Director whose term of office will continue after the Meeting. </FONT></P>

Board of Directors established a Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee, which is comprised of two directors, namely Messrs. Bragin and Neal. The Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee held one meeting during the fiscal year ended
March&nbsp;31, 2015. The Board has determined that Messrs. Bragin and Neal satisfy the independence requirements of current NASDAQ Global Select Market listing standards. Mr.&nbsp;Neal is not standing for reelection as a Director at the Meeting.
Mr.&nbsp;Hastings has been nominated by the Board of Directors to stand for election as a Director at the Meeting to succeed Mr.&nbsp;Neal. If elected as a Director at the Meeting, Mr.&nbsp;Hastings will succeed Mr.&nbsp;Neal as a member of the
Company&#146;s Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee. In addition, if reelected as a Director, Mr.&nbsp;Fink will replace Mr.&nbsp;Bragin as a member of the Company&#146;s Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee and will succeed Mr.&nbsp;Neal
as Chair of such committee. The Board has determined that Messrs. Fink and Hastings satisfy the independence requirements of current NASDAQ Global Select Market listing standards. The Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee is governed by a
written charter, which will be reviewed on an annual basis. A copy of the current Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee charter was included as Appendix C to the Proxy Statement and Information Circular relating to the 2014 Annual General

Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee will examine each Director nominee on a case-by-case basis regardless of who recommended the nominee and take into account all factors it considers appropriate. While the Nominating/Corporate Governance
Committee does not have a formal policy relating specifically to the consideration of diversity in its process to select and evaluate Director nominees, the Committee does consider diversity as part of its overall evaluation of candidates for
Director nominees. Specifically, the Company&#146;s Corporate Governance Policies provide that the selection of potential directors should be based on all factors the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee and the Board consider appropriate,
which include issues of diversity, age, background and training, business or administrative experience or skills, dedication and commitment, business judgment, analytical skills, problem-solving abilities and familiarity with regulatory environment.

Compensation Committee is responsible for establishing and monitoring adherence to the Company&#146;s compensation programs. When setting executive compensation, the Compensation Committee applies a consistent approach for all Named Executive
Officers. It intends that the combination of elements of executive compensation closely align the executives&#146; interest with those of the Company&#146;s shareholders. Target total compensation is generally comprised of base salary, annual cash
bonus and long-term incentive compensation in the form of equity grants. The Compensation Committee reviews and adjusts executive target total compensation levels annually. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:14px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:6%" ALIGN="justify"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="3">The Compensation Committee currently initiates the compensation process, seeking input and information from the CEO and
the full Board of Directors before finalizing any salary increases, employment contracts, bonus plans or long-term incentive equity awards for Named Executive Officers. In considering the appropriate compensation for each of the Named Executive
Officers, the Compensation Committee takes into consideration, among other things, the CEO&#146;s recommendations, the executive pay for executive officers in comparable positions for companies in the Company&#146;s peer group, the level of inherent
risk associated with the position, the specific circumstances of the executive, and the advisory votes of the Company&#146;s shareholders with respect to the compensation of the Named Executive Officer for prior fiscal years. In May 2015, the
Compensation Committee retained Hewitt Associates LLC as an independent compensation consultant to provide, among other things, competitive market pay analyses. The Compensation Committee approves the base salary, annual cash bonus and long-term
incentive equity awards for the CEO and for each Named Executive Officer below the CEO level. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:14px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:6%" ALIGN="justify"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="3">The
Compensation Committee has reviewed the aggregate amounts and mix of all components of the CEO&#146;s and the other Named Executive Officer&#146;s compensation, including base salary, annual cash bonus, long-term incentive compensation, accumulated
(realized and unrealized) stock option and restricted stock gains, the value to the executive and cost to the Company of all perquisites and other personal benefits and the actual projected payout obligations for severance and change-in-control
scenarios. A tally sheet setting forth all the above components was prepared affixing dollar amounts under the various payout scenarios for the CEO and the other Named Executive Officer and was reviewed by the Compensation Committee. </FONT></P>

Company&#146;s performance after a change of control or may not be in a position to earn their incentive awards or vest in their equity awards after a change of control. Thus, the provisions are meant to encourage employees that may be involved in

Generally, the Company&#146;s equity compensation plans provide that restricted stock will vest in full, and options to purchase Common Shares will become immediately exercisable, either upon a change of control or upon termination of employment
within one year after a change of control. The Compensation Committee believes that the provisions provided for under both our employment agreements and equity compensation plans are appropriate since an employee&#146;s position could be adversely
affected by a change of control even if he is not terminated. Our equity compensation plans provide, however, that the Compensation Committee may determine in advance of the change of control event that the provisions would not apply and therefore
