The NAESPP operates as follows

• Each month the Administrator uses participants’ contributions (which are from 1% to 5% of base salary but may not exceed $10,000 per participant per year) to purchase shares in the market. These shares are called ‘Partnership Shares’. Participants may hold both fractional and whole Partnership Shares.
• For every two Partnership Shares the participants still own after two years, the Company awards one free share. These are called ‘Matching Shares’.
• Participants may change their monthly savings rate whenever they wish. However, Directors and others bound by the Company’s Securities Dealing Code (the “Code”) may not make such a change during a close period or when otherwise prohibited from dealing by the Code.
• The NAESPP is only open to employees of the Company based in Canada and the United States. No other Directors or PDMRs of the Company are participants in the NAESPP.
