NOTICE OF HOUSEKEEPING RULE AMENDMENTS TO THE TSX COMPANY MANUAL

Introduction In accordance with the Process for the Review and Approval of Rules and the Information Contained in Form 21-101F1 (the “Protocol”), Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) has adopted, and the Ontario Securities Commission (“OSC”) has approved, certain housekeeping amendments (the “Amendments”) to Parts I, III, IV, VI and IX, Appendix H – Company Reporting Forms – TSX Company Reporting Forms – User Guide, TSX Listing Agreement, TSX Listing Application, and various other TSX Company Reporting Forms of the TSX Company Manual (the “Manual”). The Amendments are Housekeeping Rules under the Protocol and therefore have not been published for comment. The OSC has not disagreed with the categorization of the Amendments as Housekeeping Rules. This Notice of Housekeeping Rule Amendments to the Manual will be published separately on the OSC website on November 25, 2021. In accordance with Section 5 of the Protocol, TSX has obtained a waiver from the OSC in connection with the effective date of the amendments as designated by TSX. Summary and Rationale of the Non-Public Interest Amendments Section of the Manual Amendment Rationale 1. Part I – Introduction – Replace references to “TSX Effective November 19, 2021, TSX Interpretation SecureFile” with “TMX LINX”. SecureFile, the platform on which TSX listed issuers currently file certain TSX Reporting Forms and make other TSX submissions, will be decommissioned and replaced with TMX LINX. TMX LINX is a centralized portal for TSX listed issuers and other stakeholders to interact with TSX. It is a single point of access for TSX listed issuers and their advisors to file submissions, while having transparency into the progress of their transactions. The web-based platform enables TSX listed issuers and their legal counsel to manage the submission, send and receive documents, and communicate with TSX, all through a user-friendly and highly secure system. Effective November 22, 2021, all TSX Reporting Forms and certain other documents must be filed on TMX LINX.
