The Policy fixes a deadline by which director nominations must be submitted to the Company prior to any annual or special meeting of shareholders and sets forth the information that must be included in the notice to the Company in order for a nominee to be eligible for election.

In the case of an annual meeting, notice to the Company must be given no fewer than and not more than 65 days prior to the date of the Meeting; provided that if the Meeting is to be held on a date that is fewer than 50 days after the date on which the first public announcement of the date of the Meeting was made, notice may be given no later than the close of business on the 10th day following such public announcement.

The Policy is effective as of the date it was approved. In order for the Policy to remain in effect, it must be ratified by an ordinary resolution of the shareholders at the Meeting. Pursuant to the Policy, the deadline for notice of director nominations for the Meeting is July 28, 2013.

Further details regarding the Meeting will be contained in a Management Information Circular that will be mailed to shareholders of the Company and will be filed on SEDAR.
