Comparison with Nasdaq Governance Rules
As a “foreign private issuer” (as such term is defined
in Rule 3b-4 under the Exchange Act) whose common shares are listed on Nasdaq, we are permitted to follow certain home country
corporate governance practices instead of certain requirements of the Nasdaq rules. We intend to adopt and approve material changes
to equity incentive plans in accordance with Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) listing rules, which do not impose
a requirement of shareholder approval for such actions. In addition, we intend to follow the TSX listing rules in respect of private
placements instead of Nasdaq requirements to obtain shareholder approval for certain dilutive events (such as issuances that will
result in a change of control, certain transactions other than a public offering involving issuances of a 20% or greater interest
in us and certain acquisitions of the stock or assets of another company) and the minimum quorum requirement for a shareholders
meeting. Under Nasdaq listing rules, the required minimum quorum for a shareholders meeting is 33 1/3% of the outstanding common
shares, and our minimum quorum requirement is only 10% of the total number of voting rights attaching to all outstanding Common
Shares.
UNDERTAKING
The Company undertakes to make available, in person or by telephone,
representatives to respond to inquiries made by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”) staff,
and to furnish promptly, when requested to do so by the Commission staff, information relating to: the securities registered pursuant
to Form 40-F; the securities in relation to which the obligation to file an annual report on Form 40-F arises; or transactions
in said securities.
CONSENT TO SERVICE OF PROCESS
Concurrently with this Annual Report on Form 40-F, the Company
is filing a Form F-X in respect of its Common Shares, the class of securities in relation to which the obligation to file this
Annual Report on Form 40-F arises. Any change to the name or address of the Company’s agent for service of process shall
be communicated promptly to the Commission by an amendment to the Form F-X referencing the file number of the relevant filing of
the Company.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Exchange Act, the Company
certifies that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form 40-F and has duly caused this Annual Report on Form 40-F to
be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereto duly authorized.
