The offering consisted of 2,847,000 common shares issued at a price of C$26.70 per common share as well as an over-allotment option, which was exercised in full by the underwriters, whereby they purchased an additional 427,050 common share, on the same terms and the same price, to cover over-allotments for gross proceeds of C$87,417,135.
