THE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE U.S. SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION (THE “COMMISSION”), ANY U.S. STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION, OR ANY CANADIAN SECURITIES REGULATORY AUTHORITY, NOR HAS THE COMMISSION, ANY U.S. STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION OR ANY CANADIAN SECURITIES REGULATORY AUTHORITY PASSED UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS PROSPECTUS. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

This offering is made by a Canadian issuer that is permitted, under a multijurisdictional disclosure system adopted by the United States and Canada, to prepare this Prospectus in accordance with the Canadian disclosure requirements. Prospective investors should be aware that such requirements are different from those of the United States. The financial statements incorporated herein have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS”) and thus may not be comparable to financial statements of U.S. companies.

Prospective investors should be aware that the acquisition of the Securities may have tax consequences both in the United States and in Canada. Such consequences for investors who are residents in, or citizens of, the United States may not be described fully herein. Prospective investors should consult their own tax advisors with respect to their particular circumstances.

The enforcement by investors of civil liabilities under the U.S. federal securities laws may be affected adversely by the fact that the Corporation is incorporated under the laws of Canada, that some or all of its officers and directors may be residents of Canada, that some or all of the underwriters or experts named in the registration statement of which this Prospectus forms a part, or in any Prospectus Supplement hereto, may be residents of Canada and that all or a substantial portion of the assets of the Corporation and such persons may be located outside the United States.

The Corporation or one or more selling shareholders may sell the Securities to or through underwriters or dealers or directly to investors or through agents. The Prospectus Supplement relating to each offering of Securities will identify each person who may be deemed to be an underwriter with respect to such Securities and will set forth

i

the terms of the offering of such Securities, including, to the extent applicable, the initial public offering price, the proceeds to the Corporation and/or the applicable selling shareholder(s), the portion of expenses borne by the Corporation and/or the applicable selling shareholder(s), the underwriting commissions and any other concessions to be allowed or reallowed to dealers. The managing underwriter or underwriters with respect to each offering of Securities sold to or through underwriters will be named in the related Prospectus Supplement. In connection with any underwritten offering of Securities, the underwriters or agents may over-allot or effect transactions which stabilize or maintain the market price of the Securities offered at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. Such transactions, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time. The Debt Securities will not be offered or sold in the United States. See “Plan of Distribution”.

The outstanding Common Shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) and the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) under the symbol “OSB”.

There is no market through which the Debt Securities or Subscription Receipts may be sold and purchasers may not be able to resell Debt Securities or Subscription Receipts purchased under this Prospectus. This may affect the pricing of the Debt Securities or Subscription Receipts in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices, the liquidity of the Debt Securities or Subscription Receipts, and the extent of issuer regulation. See “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to the Debt Securities” and “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to the Subscription Receipts”.

There are certain risks inherent in an investment in Securities and in the activities of the Corporation. Prospective investors should carefully consider these risk factors before purchasing any Securities. See “Risk Factors”.

Certain of the earnings coverage ratios provided in this Prospectus are less than one-to-one. See “Earnings Coverage” for further details.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements contained in this Prospectus, and in certain documents incorporated by reference in this Prospectus, may constitute forward-looking information and other “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Canadian and United States securities laws. When used in this document, including documents incorporated by reference, the words “may”, “would”, “could”, “will”, “intend”, “plan”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “expect”, “target”, “outlook”, “scheduled”, “forecast”, “aim”, “predict”, “project”, and similar expressions, as they relate to us or our management, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements may reflect the outlook on future changes in volumes, prices, costs, estimated amounts and timing of cash flows, or other expectations or beliefs, objectives or assumptions about future events or performance. Readers should be aware that these statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

1

By its nature, forward-looking information involves numerous assumptions, inherent risks and uncertainties, both general and specific, which contribute to the possibility that predictions, forecasts and other forward-looking statements will not occur. These factors include, but are not limited to: assumptions in connection with the economic and financial conditions in the US, Canada, Europe and globally; risks inherent to product concentration and cyclicality; effects of competition and product pricing pressures; risks inherent to customer dependence; effects of variations in the price and availability of manufacturing inputs, including continued access to fibre resources at competitive prices; availability of rail services and port facilities; various events that could disrupt operations, including natural or catastrophic events and ongoing relations with employees; impact of changes to, or non-compliance with, environmental regulations; impact of any product liability claims in excess of insurance coverage; risks inherent to a capital intensive industry; impact of future outcomes of tax exposures; effects of currency exposures and exchange rate fluctuations; and other factors discussed in the AIF (as defined below) as well as the Corporation’s annual report and other filings with securities regulators in Canada and the United States. The Corporation cautions that the list of risk factors discussed in those documents may not be exhaustive. Readers should consider those risks, as well as other uncertainties and factors and potential events. Although the Corporation believes it has reasonable basis for making the forward-looking statements included in this Prospectus, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking information.

The Corporation undertakes no obligation, except as required by law, to update publicly or otherwise revise any forward-looking information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. The forward-looking statements contained in this Prospectus are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict which factors will arise. In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

CONSOLIDATED CAPITALIZATION

Unless otherwise stated in the applicable Prospectus Supplement accompanying this Prospectus, the Corporation expects to use the net proceeds of the sale of Securities by the Corporation for general corporate purposes. The Corporation will not receive any proceeds from the sale of Common Shares sold by any selling shareholder under this Prospectus.

SELLING SHAREHOLDERS

This Prospectus may also, from time to time, relate to the offering of Common Shares by way of a secondary offering by certain selling shareholders. The terms under which Common Shares will be offered by selling shareholders will be described in the applicable Prospectus Supplement.

DESCRIPTION OF THE DEBT SECURITIES

The material terms of any Debt Securities offered by the Corporation will be described in a Prospectus Supplement. The Debt Securities will not be offered or sold in the United States.

4

The Debt Securities will be senior or subordinated indebtedness of the Corporation and may be secured or unsecured. The Debt Securities will be issued under one or more indentures (each, a “Debt Indenture”), in each case between the Corporation and a financial institution to which the Trust and Loan Companies Act (Canada) applies or a financial institution organized under the laws of any province of Canada and authorized to carry on business as a trustee in Canada. The statements made hereunder and in any applicable Prospectus Supplement relating to any Debt Indenture and the Debt Securities to be issued thereunder are summaries of certain anticipated provisions thereof and do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to, all provisions of the applicable Debt Indenture. The Corporation will file a copy of each Debt Indenture on SEDAR and EDGAR entered into in connection with an offering of Debt Securities.

The specific terms of Debt Securities that are issued under this Prospectus will be described in one or more Prospectus Supplements and may include, where applicable, the specific designation, aggregate principal amount, denomination (which may be in U.S. dollars, in any other currency or in units based on or relating to foreign currencies), maturity, interest rate (which may be fixed or variable) and time of payment of interest, if any, any terms for redemption at the option of the Corporation or the holders, any terms for sinking fund payments, the ranking of the Debt Securities relative to the other debt of the Corporation and the terms of the subordination of any subordinated Debt Securities, whether or not the Debt Securities will be secured or unsecured, any listing on a securities exchange, the offering price (or the manner of determination thereof if offered on a non-fixed price basis) and any other specific terms.

The Debt Securities may, at the option of the Corporation, be issued in fully registered form or in bearer form, may be issued in “book-entry only” form and may be certificated or uncertificated.

DESCRIPTION OF THE SUBSCRIPTION RECEIPTS

The material terms of any class or series of Subscription Receipts offered by the Corporation will be described in a Prospectus Supplement.

Subscription Receipts may be offered separately or together with Common Shares and may be exchanged by the holders thereof for Common Shares upon the satisfaction of certain conditions. Subscription Receipts will be issued under a subscription receipt agreement between the Corporation and an escrow agent. The statements below and in any applicable Prospectus Supplement relating to any subscription receipt agreement and the Subscription Receipts to be issued thereunder are summaries of certain anticipated provisions thereof, are not complete, and are subject to, and qualified by reference to all provisions of the applicable subscription receipt agreement and the related Subscription Receipts. The applicable Prospectus Supplement will include details of the subscription receipt agreement with respect to the Subscription Receipts being offered. Reference is made to the applicable Prospectus Supplement which will accompany this Prospectus for the terms and other information with respect to the offering of the Subscription Receipts being offered thereby. The Corporation will file a copy of each subscription receipt agreement and related form of Subscription Receipts on SEDAR and EDGAR entered into in connection with an offering of Subscription Receipts.

The particular terms and provisions of each issue of Subscription Receipts providing for the issuance of Common Shares on the exchange of Subscription Receipts will be described in the related Prospectus Supplement and may include the number of Subscription Receipts and the price at which they will be issued and whether the price is payable in instalments, any conditions to the exchange of Subscription Receipts into Common Shares and the consequences of such conditions not being satisfied, the procedures for the exchange of the Subscription Receipts into Common Shares, the number of Common Shares that may be exchanged upon exercise of each Subscription Receipt, the dates or period during which the Subscription Receipts may be exchanged into Common Shares, whether such Subscription Receipts will be listed on any securities exchange, and any other rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to the Subscription Receipts.

5

Subscription Receipts may, at the option of the Corporation, be issued in fully registered form or in bearer form, may be issued in “book-entry only” form and may be certificated or uncertificated.

EARNINGS COVERAGE

The information contained in this section was derived from the Corporation’s audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 and the Corporation’s unaudited consolidated interim financial statements for the three and nine month periods ended September 24, 2016, each of which is incorporated by reference in this Prospectus.

The Corporation’s finance costs (excluding net interest expense on net pension obligation) were $54 million for the 12-months ended December 31, 2015 and $52 million for the 12-months ended September 24, 2016. The Corporation’s earnings before finance costs and income tax for the 12-months then ended was a loss of $29 million and earnings of $225 million, respectively, which is –0.5 times and 4.3 times the Corporation’s finance costs for these respective periods.

The Corporation’s earnings before finance costs and income tax for the 12-months ended December 31, 2015 noted above includes a number of unusual charges incurred in the first and second quarters of 2015 related to the merger of the Corporation and Ainsworth completed on March 31, 2015 and concurrent debt refinancing. The Corporation views Adjusted EBITDA as more representative of the Corporation’s ability to cover ongoing financing requirements, which excludes these unusual merger and refinancing related charges and includes certain other adjustments. The Corporation’s Adjusted EBITDA for the 12-months ended December 31, 2015 and September 24, 2016 was $122 million and $327 million, respectively. Based on these supplemental figures, the Corporation’s adjusted earnings coverage ratios are 2.3 times and 6.3 times the Corporation’s finance costs for these respective periods.

Adjusted EBITDA is not calculated in accordance with, and does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS. Adjusted EBITDA is therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. A description of this non-IFRS financial measure and a reconciliation to the most directly comparable IFRS financial measure is provided in the Corporation’s management’s discussion and analysis for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 and the management’s discussion and analysis for the three and nine month periods ended September 24, 2016 and September 26, 2015, incorporated by reference in this Prospectus.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The Corporation and the selling shareholders (as applicable) will sell the Securities to or through underwriters or dealers or purchasers directly or through agents. The Securities may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions. The Debt Securities will not be offered or sold in the United States.

A Prospectus Supplement will set forth the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any underwriters, dealers or agents, the purchase price or prices of the Securities, the proceeds to the Corporation or any selling shareholder, as the case may be, from the sale of the Securities, any initial public offering price, the expenses of the offering, any underwriting discount or commission and any discounts, concessions or commissions allowed or reallowed or paid by any underwriter to other dealers.

In connection with any underwritten offering of Securities, the underwriters may over-allot or effect transactions that stabilize or maintain the market price of the Securities offered at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. Such transactions, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.

Underwriters, dealers and agents who participate in the distribution of the Securities may be entitled under agreements to be entered into with the Corporation and/or the selling shareholder(s) (if applicable) to indemnification by the Corporation and/or the such selling shareholder(s) against certain liabilities including liabilities under securities legislation, or to contribution with respect to payments that they may be required to make in respect thereof. Such underwriters, dealers and agents may be customers of, engage in transactions with, or perform services for the Corporation and/or such selling shareholder(s) in the ordinary course of business.

Each series of Securities (other than a secondary offering of Common Shares by a selling shareholder) will be a new issue of securities. Certain broker-dealers may make a market in the Securities but will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. No assurance can be given that any broker-dealer will make a market in any of the Securities or as to the liquidity of the trading market for such Securities.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in Securities involves risk. Investors should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described in the Corporation’s AIF, including under the heading “Risk Factors”, and in the MD&A, each of which is incorporated by reference in this Prospectus, as well as the other information contained and incorporated by reference in this Prospectus. These risks and uncertainties are not the only ones facing the Corporation. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to the Corporation or that the Corporation currently deems immaterial may also impair the Corporation’s business operations. If any of such risks actually occur, the Corporation’s business, financial condition, liquidity and operating results could be materially adversely affected.

A Prospectus Supplement applicable to the offering of Securities will also contain a discussion of the risks applicable to the particular offering of Securities. Before making an investment decision, potential investors should carefully consider these risks as well as any other information included or incorporated by reference in this Prospectus and any Prospectus Supplement.

Risks Relating to Common Shares

An investment in Common Shares involves a high degree of risk. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider the risks described below, those described in a Prospectus Supplement applicable to the particular offering of Common Shares as well as any other information included or incorporated by reference in this Prospectus and any Prospectus Supplement.

Stock exchange prices.

The trading price of the Common Shares in the open market is subject to volatility and cannot be predicted. Holders of Common Shares may not be able to resell their Common Shares at or above the price at which they purchased their Common Shares due to such trading price fluctuations. The trading price could fluctuate significantly in response to factors both related and unrelated to the Corporation’s operating performance and/or future prospects, including, but not limited to: (i) variations in the Corporation’s quarterly or annual operating results and financial condition; (ii) changes in government laws, rules or regulations affecting the Corporation’s businesses; (iii) material announcements by the Corporation’s competitors; (iv) market conditions and events specific to the industries in which the Corporation operates; (v) changes in general economic conditions; (vi) differences between the Corporation’s actual financial and operating results and those expected by investors and analysts; (vii) changes in analysts’ recommendations or earnings projections; (viii) changes in the extent of analysts’ interest in covering the Corporation and its publicly-traded affiliates; (ix) the depth and liquidity of the market for the Common Shares; (x) dilution from the issuance of additional equity; (xi) investor perception of the Corporation’s businesses and industries; (xii) investment restrictions; (xiii) the departure of key executives; (xiv) sales of Common Shares by senior management or significant shareholders; and (xv) the materialization of other risks described or included information included or incorporated by reference in this Prospectus and any Prospectus Supplement.

7

Dilution.

The Corporation may undertake additional offerings of Common Shares and of securities convertible into Common Shares in the future. The increase in the number of Common Shares issued and outstanding and the possibility of sales of such Common Shares may depress the price of the Common Shares. In addition, as a result of the issuance such additional Common Shares, the voting power of the Corporation’s existing holders of Common Shares will be diluted.

Risks Relating to Debt Securities

An investment in Debt Securities involves a high degree of risk. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider the risks described below, those described in a Prospectus Supplement applicable to the particular offering of Debt Securities as well as any other information included or incorporated by reference in this Prospectus and any Prospectus Supplement.

There is currently no existing trading market for the Debt Securities.

There is currently no market through which the Debt Securities may be sold and purchasers of Debt Securities may not be able to resell the Debt Securities purchased under this Prospectus and the accompanying Prospectus Supplement. In addition, no Debt Securities will be sold into the U.S. market. There can be no assurance that an active trading market will develop for the Debt Securities after an offering or, if developed, that such market will be sustained. This may affect the pricing of the Debt Securities in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices, the liquidity of the Debt Securities and the extent of issuer regulation.

The public offering prices of the Debt Securities may be determined by negotiation between the Corporation and underwriters based on several factors and may bear no relationship to the prices at which the Debt Securities will trade in the public market subsequent to such offering. See “Plan of Distribution”.

Foreign currency risks.

An investment in Debt Securities that are denominated or payable in foreign currencies may entail significant risks, and the extent and nature of such risks change continuously. These risks include, without limitation, the possibility of significant fluctuations in the foreign currency market, the imposition or modification of foreign exchange controls and potential illiquidity in the secondary market.

These risks will vary depending on the currency or currencies involved. This Prospectus does not describe all the risks of an investment in Debt Securities that are denominated or payable in foreign currencies. Prospective purchasers should consult their own financial and legal advisors as to the risks entailed in an investment in Debt Securities denominated in currencies other than Canadian dollars. Such Debt Securities are not an appropriate investment for investors who are unsophisticated with respect to foreign currency transactions.

Credit ratings.

There is no assurance that any credit rating, if any, assigned to the Debt Securities issued hereunder will remain in effect for any given period of time or that any rating will not be lowered or withdrawn entirely by the relevant rating agency. A lowering or withdrawal of such rating may have an adverse effect on the market value of the Debt Securities.

Interest rate risks.

Prevailing interest rates will affect the market price or value of the Debt Securities. Generally, the market price or value of the Debt Securities will decline as prevailing interest rates for comparable debt instruments rise, and increase as prevailing interest rates for comparable debt instruments decline.

8

Ranking of the Debt Securities.

The Debt Securities may or may not be secured by any assets of the Corporation. The ranking of the Debt Securities relative to the other debt of the Corporation, the terms of the subordination of any subordinated Debt Securities, whether or not the Debt Securities will be secured or unsecured and the terms of any security provided will be specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. Holders of secured indebtedness of the Corporation may have a claim on the assets securing such indebtedness that effectively ranks prior to the claim of holders of the Debt Securities and would have a claim that ranks equal with the claim of holders of unsecured Debt Securities to the extent that such security did not satisfy the secured indebtedness. Furthermore, although covenants given by the Corporation in various agreements may restrict incurring additional secured indebtedness, such indebtedness may, subject to certain conditions, be incurred.

Risks Relating to Subscription Receipts

An investment in Subscription Receipts involves a high degree of risk. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider the risks described below, those described in a Prospectus Supplement applicable to the particular offering of Subscription Receipts as well as any other information included or incorporated by reference in this Prospectus and any Prospectus Supplement.

There is currently no existing trading market for the Subscription Receipts.

There is currently no market through which the Subscription Receipts may be sold and purchasers of Subscription Receipts may not be able to resell the Subscription Receipts purchased under this Prospectus and the accompanying Prospectus Supplement. There can be no assurance that an active trading market will develop for the Subscription Receipts after an offering or, if developed, that such market will be sustained. This may affect the pricing of the Subscription Receipts in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices, the liquidity of the Subscription Receipts and the extent of issuer regulation.

The public offering prices of the Subscription Receipts may be determined by negotiation between the Corporation and underwriters based on several factors and may bear no relationship to the prices at which the Subscription Receipts will trade in the public market subsequent to such offering. See “Plan of Distribution”.

LEGAL MATTERS

Unless otherwise specified in a Prospectus Supplement relating to an offering of Securities, certain matters of Canadian law relating to the validity of the Securities will be passed upon for the Corporation by Torys LLP in Toronto, Ontario. The partners and associates of Torys LLP, as a group, beneficially own, directly or indirectly, less than one percent of the outstanding securities of the Corporation.

AUDITORS, TRANSFER AGENT, REGISTRAR AND TRUSTEE

The Corporation’s auditors are KPMG LLP, an independent public accounting firm, of Toronto, Ontario. KPMG LLP is independent within the meaning of the Rules of Professional Conduct of the Chartered Professional Accountants of Ontario (registered name of The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Ontario) and the rules and standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and the securities laws and regulations administered by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

The transfer agent and registrar for the Common Shares is CST Trust Company at its principal office in Toronto, Ontario.

Any transfer agent and registrar for the Subscription Receipts will be identified in the Prospectus Supplement relating to a particular offering of Subscription Receipts.

9

Any trustee for the Debt Securities will be identified in the Prospectus Supplement relating to a particular offering of Debt Securities.

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED TO BE DELIVERED TO

OFFEREES OR PURCHASERS

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS OR OFFICERS.

Section 124 of the Canada Business Corporations Act (the “Act”) provides as follows:

124. (1) Indemnification — A corporation may indemnify a director or officer of the corporation, a former director or officer of the corporation or another individual who acts or acted at the corporation’s request as a director or officer, or an individual acting in a similar capacity, of another entity, against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by the individual in respect of any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other proceeding in which the individual is involved because of that association with the corporation or other entity.

(2) Advance of costs — A corporation may advance moneys to a director, officer or other individual for the costs, charges and expenses of a proceeding referred to in subsection (1). The individual shall repay the moneys if the individual does not fulfil the conditions of subsection (3).

(3) Limitation — A corporation may not indemnify an individual under subsection (1) unless the individual:

(a) acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the corporation, or, as the case may be, to the best interests of the other entity for which the individual acted as director or officer or in a similar capacity at the corporation’s request; and

(b) in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, the individual had reasonable grounds for believing that the individual’s conduct was lawful.

(4) Indemnification in derivative actions — A corporation may with the approval of a court, indemnify an individual referred to in subsection (1), or advance moneys under subsection (2), in respect of an action by or on behalf of the corporation or other entity to procure a judgment in its favor, to which the individual is made a party because of the individual’s association with the corporation or other entity as described in subsection (1) against all costs, charges and expenses reasonably incurred by the individual in connection with such action, if the individual fulfils the conditions set out in subsection (3).

(5) Right to indemnity — Despite subsection (1), an individual referred to in that subsection is entitled to indemnity from the corporation in respect of all costs, charges and expenses reasonably incurred by the individual in connection with the defense of any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other proceeding to which the individual is subject because of the individual’s association with the corporation or other entity as described in subsection (1), if the individual seeking indemnity:

(a) was not judged by the court or other competent authority to have committed any fault or omitted to do anything that the individual ought to have done; and

(b) fulfils the conditions set out in subsection (3).

(6) Insurance — A corporation may purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of an individual referred to in subsection (1) against any liability incurred by the individual:

(a) in the individual’s capacity as a director or officer of the corporation; or

(b) in the individual’s capacity as a director or officer, or similar capacity, of another entity, if the individual acts or acted in that capacity at the corporation’s request.

II-1

(7) Application to court — A corporation, an individual or an entity referred to in subsection (1) may apply to a court for an order approving an indemnity under this section and the court may so order and make any further order that it sees fit.

(8) Notice to Director — An applicant under subsection (7) shall give the Director notice of the application and the Director is entitled to appear and be heard in person or by counsel.

(9) Other notice — On an application under subsection (7) the court may order notice to be given to any interested person and the person is entitled to appear and be heard in person or by counsel.

The by-laws of the Registrant provide that the Registrant shall indemnify a director or officer, a former director or officer, or a person who acts or acted at the Registrant’s request as a director or officer of a body corporate of which the Registrant is or was a shareholder or creditor, and the heirs and legal representatives of such a person to the extent permitted by the Act.

The Registrant maintains directors’ and officers’ liability insurance which insures directors and officers for losses as a result of claims against the directors and officers of the Registrant in their capacity as directors and officers and also reimburses the Registrant for payments made pursuant to the indemnity provisions under the by-laws of the Registrant and the Act.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
