The Stock Split is conducted on a “push-out basis,” with two (2) additional Multiple Voting Shares being issued and sent by the Company’s transfer agent, Computershare Investor Services Inc., to shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 5, 2021. Shareholders of the Company do not need to take any action with respect to the Stock Split and there is no change to the CUSIP/ISIN number for the Company’s Multiple Voting Shares in connection with the Stock Split. Following completion of the Stock Split, the Company will have approximately 4,418,247 Multiple Voting Shares outstanding and 1,030,269,327 Subordinate Voting Shares outstanding.
The Company is also amending its Articles to create a new class of shares, issuable in series, to be designated as “Preference Shares” and another new class of shares, issuable in series, to be designated as “Special Shares.”
