| Explanation of Responses: |
| 1. Represents shares withheld by the Issuer in satisfaction of the applicable withholding taxes due in connection with the vesting of restricted share units and delivery of the converted common shares. |
| 2. Represents an award of performance-based restricted share units. The target number of units is presented in the table. Subject to certain continued employment conditions and subject to accelerated vesting in certain circumstances, the number of units that actually vest over the four-year vesting period will be either 0% or 100% of the scheduled amount, depending on whether the Issuer meets certain performance goals at the end of the first year of the vesting period. If the Issuer meets its performance goals at the end of the first year vesting period, then the units shall vest in four equal annual installments. |
| 3. Represents an award of performance-based restricted share units. The target number of units is presented in the table. Subject to certain continued employment conditions and subject to accelerated vesting in certain circumstances, the number of units that actually vest at the end of the three-year performance period will be 0% to 250% of the scheduled amount, depending on the extent to which the Issuer meets or exceeds certain performance goals during the performance period. The maximum number of units that may vest at the end of the three-year performance period is 13,375 (250% of the target number). |
| 4. Represents the conversion upon vesting of restricted share units into common shares of the Issuer. The performance-based restricted share unit award was granted on February 15, 2019 and contained a performance target that was achieved by the Issuer over the one fiscal year period that ended December 31, 2019. As a result, the award shall vest 25% per year over the four-year period following the date of grant. The common shares are reported on Table 1. |
