Canadian withholding taxes, will be treated as dividend income to these U.S. Holders, to the extent paid out of current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles<B>. </B>This income will be

be treated as foreign taxes eligible for credit against a U.S. Holder&#146;s U.S. federal income tax liability. For purposes of calculating the foreign tax credit, dividends paid on our Class&nbsp;A voting shares will be treated as income from
sources outside the U.S. and generally will constitute &#147;passive income.&#148; Special rules apply to certain individuals whose foreign source income during the taxable year consists entirely of &#147;qualified passive income&#148; and whose
creditable foreign taxes paid or accrued during the taxable year do not exceed $300 ($600 in the case of a joint return). The rules governing the foreign tax credit are complex. Certain U.S. Holders of our Class&nbsp;A voting shares may not be able
to claim a foreign tax credit with respect to amounts withheld for Canadian withholding taxes. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the availability of the foreign tax credit under their particular circumstances.

the U.S. Holder on a subsequent disposition of the Class&nbsp;A voting shares), and the balance in excess of adjusted basis will be taxed as capital gain recognized on a sale or exchange. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">With respect to certain U.S. Holders who are not corporations, including individuals, certain dividends received before January&nbsp;1,
2013 from a qualified foreign corporation may be subject to reduced rates of taxation. A &#147;qualified foreign corporation&#148; includes a foreign corporation that is eligible for the benefits of a comprehensive income tax treaty with the United
States which the U.S. Treasury determines to be satisfactory for these purposes and which includes an exchange of information program. U.S. Treasury guidance indicates that the current income tax treaty between Canada and the U.S. meets these
requirements, and we believe we are eligible for the benefits of that treaty. In addition, a foreign corporation is treated as a qualified foreign corporation with respect to dividends received from that corporation on shares that are readily
tradable on an established securities market in the U.S. Our Class&nbsp;A voting shares, which are listed on the NYSE Amex, should be considered readily tradable on an established securities market in the U.S. Individuals that do not meet a minimum
holding period requirement during which they are not protected from the risk of loss or that elect to treat the dividend income as &#147;investment income&#148; pursuant to Section&nbsp;163(d)(4) of the Code will not be eligible for the reduced
rates of taxation regardless of the trading status of our Class&nbsp;A voting shares. In addition, the rate reduction will not apply to dividends if the recipient of a dividend is obligated to make related payments with respect to positions in
substantially similar or related property. This disallowance applies even if the minimum holding period has been met. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of these rules given their particular circumstances.

purposes, and we expect to continue our operations in such a manner that we will not be a PFIC. In general, a company is considered a PFIC for any taxable year if either (i)&nbsp;at least 75% of its gross income is passive income or (ii)&nbsp;at
least 50% of the value of its assets is attributable to assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income. The 50% of value test is based on the average of the value of our assets for each quarter during the taxable year. If we
own at least 25% by value of another company&#146;s stock, we will be treated, for purposes of the PFIC rules, as owning our proportionate share of the assets and receiving our proportionate share of income of the other company. Based on the nature
of our income, assets and activities, and the manner in which we plan to operate our business in future years, we do not expect that we will be classified as a PFIC for any taxable year. </FONT></P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">This summary is based upon the current provisions of the Canadian Tax Act, the current
provisions of the Canada-United States Income Tax Convention, if applicable (referred to in this prospectus as the &#147;Convention&#148;), all specific proposals to amend the Canadian Tax Act publicly announced by the Minister of Finance of Canada
prior to the date hereof (referred to in this prospectus as the &#147;Tax Proposals&#148;) and the current published administrative and assessing practices of the Canada Revenue Agency. This summary assumes that the Tax Proposals will be enacted
substantially as proposed and does not otherwise take into account or anticipate any change in law or administrative and assessing practices, whether by legislative, governmental or judicial action, although no assurance can be given in these
respects. This summary does not take into account or consider any provincial, territorial or foreign income tax legislation or considerations. For purposes of the Canadian Tax Act, all amounts relevant in computing a Non-resident Holder&#146;s
liability under the Canadian Tax Act must be computed in Canadian dollars. Amounts denominated in a currency other than Canadian dollars (including adjusted cost base and proceeds of disposition) must be converted into Canadian dollars based on the
prevailing exchange rate at the relevant time. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>This summary is of a general nature only and is not intended to be, nor
should it be construed to be, legal or tax advice to Non-resident Holders of our Class&nbsp;A voting shares. Accordingly, Non-resident Holders of our Class&nbsp;A voting shares should consult their own tax advisors with respect to their particular
circumstances. </B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Dividends on Our Class&nbsp;A Voting Shares </B></FONT></P>

subject to Canadian withholding tax of 25% of the gross amount of those dividends (subject to reduction in accordance with an applicable income tax convention between Canada and the Non-resident Holder&#146;s country of residence). In the case of a
Non-resident Holder who is a resident of the U.S. for purposes of the Convention, is entitled to the benefits of the Convention (referred to in this prospectus as a &#147;U.S. Holder&#148;) and is the beneficial owner of the dividend, the rate of
withholding tax will generally be reduced to 15% or, if the Non-resident Holder is a corporation that owns at least 10% of our voting shares, to 5%. Under the Convention, dividends paid to certain religious, scientific, literary, educational or
charitable organizations and certain pension organizations that are resident in the U.S. and who are exempt from taxation in the U.S., are generally exempt from Canadian non-resident withholding tax. Provided that certain administrative procedures
are observed by such an organization, Birks&nbsp;&amp; Mayors would not be required to withhold tax from dividends paid or credited to the organization. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT
