Holders of Multiple Voting Shares are entitled to ten (10) votes per Multiple Voting Share and holders of Subordinate Voting Shares are entitled to one (1) vote per Subordinate Voting Share. As of the date of this report, the Reporting Person holds no Subordinate Voting Shares.

According to the 2021 20-F, there were 199,931,876 Multiple Voting Shares and 66,046,364 Subordinate Voting Shares outstanding as of December 31, 2021. The Reporting Person, therefore, held 73.3% of the outstanding Multiple Voting Shares, which represents 70.9% of the combined voting power of the Issuer’s Multiple Voting Shares and Subordinate Voting Shares, as of December 31, 2021.
