During the effective period of Cannara's ASPP, Raymond James may purchase Common Shares at times when Cannara would not be active in the market due to insider trading rules and its own internal trading blackout periods. Purchases will be made by Raymond James based upon parameters set by Cannara when it is not in possession of any material non-public information about itself and its securities, and in accordance with the terms of the ASPP. Outside of the effective period of the ASPP, Common Shares may continue to be purchased in accordance with Cannara's discretion, subject to applicable law. The ASPP has been entered into in accordance with the requirements of applicable Canadian securities laws.
