- Calculated on a fully diluted basis, net book value is a non-IFRS measure.
- Attributable to Equity Limited Partners.
- The basic weighted average number of Equity Limited Partnership (“Equity LP”) units outstanding during the period ended September 30, 2021 was 73,303,589. The diluted weighted average number of Equity Limited Partnership (“Equity LP”) units available and outstanding for the period ended September 30, 2021 was 88,012,255; this includes the 14,708,666 Equity LP units issuable on the exercise of all outstanding warrants.

- At the end of the period, the diluted Equity LP units outstanding were 87,972,497 (December 31, 2020 – 88,056,097).
- Net book value is a non-IFRS measure and is equal to total equity less General Partner equity and Preferred Limited Partners’ equity, plus the value of consideration to be received on exercising of warrants, which as at September 30, 2021 was $376 million (December 31, 2020 – $375 million).
