It is anticipated that, in the next few days, the Company will file a final base PREP prospectus and a supplemented PREP prospectus for its Offering of Common Shares. As soon as possible after the final base PREP prospectus is cleared by the relevant securities regulatory authorities and a supplemented PREP prospectus is filed, TSX will post the Common Shares for trading on an "if, as and when issued" basis under the trading information set out below. Before the Common Shares are posted for trading on such basis, TSX will issue a trader note confirming both the pricing and the expected closing date for the Offering. If and when the Offering closes, the Common Shares will be listed on TSX. |
