NON-GAAP OR NON IFRS FINANCIAL MEASURES
This press release includes references to "net asset value per share ("NAV per share")," a financial measure that

outstanding as at a specific date. Investors are cautioned that this non-GAAP measure should not be construed as an alternative
to the measurement calculated in accordance with IFRS as, given its non-standardized meaning; it is unlikely to be comparable to
similar measures presented by other issuers.
