Adding this new level of oversight to our existing corporate governance policies further emphasizes our commitment to 'doing the right thing' throughout the organization."

The ESG Committee will be comprised of Mr. Lawrence Roulston, Mr. Douglas Silver and Mr. Terry Krepiakevich. The formation of the ESG Committee will elevate ESG considerations to the regular Board agenda and bring additional focus to the formulation, evaluation, and implementation of the Company's ESG policies.

The Company also announces that, pursuant to the Company's share compensation plan, it has granted an aggregate of 47,554 restricted share units to certain directors and officers of the Company to recognize their efforts and contributions during the 2021 calendar year.
