Note: You should only complete this Supplemental Letter of Transmittal if you are not a non-resident of Canada within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and not exempt from income tax under the Income Tax Act (Canada). Shareholders are encouraged to consult their legal and financial advisors prior to making an election to receive Exchangeable LP Units. Please note that Common Shares are exchangeable for Exchangeable LP Units on a ratio of 0.225 of an Exchangeable LP Unit for each Common Share.
Each holder completing this Supplemental Letter of Transmittal represents that it is an eligible Electing Shareholder being a resident of Canada (or if a partnership, a “Canadian partnership”) within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and that it is not exempt from tax.
Each holder completing this Supplemental Letter of Transmittal will have the ability to file a Joint Tax Election as described in the Offer. Details of the mechanics to make such Joint Tax Election will be provided separately to eligible Electing Shareholders that elect to receive Unit Consideration.
An eligible Electing Shareholder must elect to receive Unit Consideration in respect of some or all of its Common Shares under the Offer in order to use this Supplemental Letter of Transmittal (printed on BLUE paper). Otherwise, the original Letter of Transmittal (printed on YELLOW paper) that accompanied the Original Offer to Purchase and Circular sent to Shareholders on February 22, 2021 should be used instead.
Any Electing Shareholder who does not properly choose all Unit Consideration for their Common Shares or Unit Consideration for a portion of their Common Shares and Cash Consideration and/or Share Consideration for the balance of their Common Shares in accordance with options below, with respect to the Common Shares deposited hereunder will be deemed to have chosen to receive all Cash Consideration and will no longer be considered to be an Electing Shareholder.

Please check this box if you wish to receive only the Exchangeable LP Units for each of your Common Shares, and not to receive the Cash Consideration or Share Consideration.
