There will be a discount of 2% from the Average Market Price (as defined below) if the Corporation issues Common Shares from the treasury of the Corporation in connection with the reinvestment of dividends.

Cash dividends payable on Common Shares enrolled in the Plan will be aggregated and then used by the Plan Agent, to arrange for the purchase of Common Shares, either on the open market through a registered broker-dealer on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”), or through a treasury issue by the Corporation at the discretion of the Manager. These new Common Shares issued pursuant to the Plan will be automatically enrolled in the Plan.

If the Manager elects for the purchase of Common Shares on the open market, and in the event that the Common Shares available in the market on the Dividend Payment Date is insufficient, the Plan Agent will purchase the remaining Common Shares from treasury.
All Common Shares will be purchased on the Dividend Payment Date (which is a date no later than the 15th day of the month or the immediately preceding Business Day in the event that the 15th day is not a Business Day) following a Dividend Record Date on which a Dividend has been declared.
If Common Shares are issued from treasury, the price will be 98% of the average of the daily volume weighted average trading prices of the Common Shares on the TSX for the five trading days in the Trading Period on which at least a board lot of Common Shares is traded.

If purchases of Common Shares under the Plan will be made on the open market, such additional Common Shares can be acquired at prevailing market rates.

The Corporation will announce by way of press release in dividend announcements whether purchases of Common Shares under the Plan will be made on the open market or from treasury.
