Canadian resident shareholders should consult with their tax advisors regarding the consequences to them of: (i) holding shares of the Company, (ii) the taxation of dividends received on shares of the Company, and (iii) any disposition of shares of the Company. In general, dividends received by a Canadian resident holder of shares of the Company (including dividends reinvested in shares of the Company) must be included in computing the income of the holder for Canadian tax purposes. Neither the gross-up and dividend tax credit rules applicable to dividends received by an individual from taxable Canadian corporations nor the intercorporate dividend deduction generally applicable to dividends received by a corporation from taxable Canadian corporations will be applicable, as the Company is not a Canadian corporation.
