M. Nasdaq Exemptions
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.
