This Supplement is being filed with the SEC and made available to shareholders on or about May 17, 2024.

•The maximum number of Common Shares (as defined in the Plan) issued to Insiders (as defined in the Plan) within any one (1) year period and issuable to Insiders in the aggregate under all of the Company's security based compensation arrangements (referred to as the “Aggregate Plans” in the Plan), will not exceed 3.75% of the total number of Outstanding Common Shares (as defined in the Plan).
•The maximum number of shares issuable under the Plan will not exceed 5,000,000 Common Shares.
•The Company shall have the authority to continue granting share units under the Plan until May 23, 2027, which is the date that is three (3) years from the date of the Annual Meeting.
