All nominees for election to the Corporation’s
Board of Directors were elected to the Board of Directors and will serve until the Corporation’s 2019 annual meeting of shareholders
or until successors are duly elected and qualified. In addition, at the Meeting, shareholders appointed EKS&H LLLP as auditors
of the Company and passed ordinary resolutions to approve: on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Corporation’s Named
Executive Officers; and all unallocated options under the Corporation’s Stock Option Plan.
The Corporation received some feedback
from shareholders on the matters to approve all unallocated awards under the Corporation’s Long Term Equity Incentive Plan
and to adopt a Deferred Share Unit Plan for the Corporation. Management plans to take some time to consider the feedback received.
Accordingly, these matters were not considered at the Meeting.
