The Registrant has an Audit and Risk Management Committee comprised of four individuals: David Kerr (Chair), Barbara
Stymiest, John E. Richardson and Claudia Kotchka. Each of the members of the Audit and Risk Management Committee is
independent as that term is defined by the rules and regulations of the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. (“Nasdaq”).
A discussion of the Registrant’s critical accounting policies can be found in its Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the fiscal year ended March 2, 2013, included in Exhibit No. 1.3 to this Annual
Report, under the heading “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates”.
On November 5, 2002, the Registrant requested an exemption from Nasdaq’s quorum requirements (which provide that a
quorum for a shareholder meeting of a Nasdaq-listed company must be at least 33-1/3% of the outstanding common shares of the
company) on the basis that such requirements were contrary to generally accepted business practices in Canada. The Registrant’s by-
laws provide that the quorum requirements for the transaction of business at any meeting of shareholders shall be two persons present
in person, each being a shareholder entitled to vote thereat or a duly appointed proxyholder or representative for a shareholder so
entitled, holding or representing not less than 20% of the issued shares of the Registrant, of the class or classes respectively (if there is
more than one class of shares outstanding at the time), enjoying voting rights at such meeting. The Registrant’s quorum requirements
comply with the requirements of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) and are consistent with the quorum requirements of other
Canadian public companies. On November 25, 2002, based on the Registrant’s representations, Nasdaq granted the requested
exemption.
The Registrant has submitted to the Commission, included in Exhibit 101 to this Annual Report, an Interactive Data File.
The Registrant is not currently required to disclose the information required by Section 1503(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street
Reform and Consumer Protection Act.
