Each Multiple Voting Share represents 10 votes and is convertible into a Subordinate Voting Share on a one-for-one basis at any time in accordance with its terms.

Immediately following completion of the Settlement, 22,151 Subordinate Voting Shares, representing 0.035% of the issued and outstanding Subordinate Voting Shares, were issued to Mr. Fayer, and Mr. Fayer now holds beneficial ownership of, or has control or direction over, directly or indirectly, (i) 27,857,328 Multiple Voting Shares (representing 36.62% of the issued and outstanding Multiple Voting Shares), (ii) 22,151 Subordinate Voting Shares (representing 0.035% of the issued and outstanding Subordinate Voting Shares), (iii) Equity Awards to acquire up to 3,417,108 Subordinate Voting Shares (including 195,458 Vested Equity Awards).
