*                     SAF Jackson II LP has the right to receive common shares of the Company (i) upon conversion of a senior second lien convertible note issued by the Company on June 5, 2020 in connection with entering into a restructuring and novation agreement (the “Restructuring and Novation Agreement”) by SAF Jackson II LP (the “SAF Convertible Note”), (ii) upon the exercise of warrants issued by the Company to SAF Jackson II LP on June 27, 2019 in connection with entering into a secured credit agreement (the “SAF 2019 Warrants”), or (iii) upon the exercise of warrants issued by the Company to SAF Jackson II LP on June 5, 2020, in connection with the Restructuring and Novation Agreement (the “SAF 2020 Warrants”, and together with the SAF 2019 Warrants, the “SAF Warrants”). Under the terms of the SAF Convertible Note and the SAF 2020 Warrants, SAF Jackson II LP may not convert such notes or exercise such warrants to the extent SAF Jackson II LP would beneficially own a number of the Company’s common shares which would exceed 9.99% of the common shares of the Company outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion (the “Maximum Percentage”). The amounts set forth in the table reflect the application of the Maximum Percentage, and assume (i) the immediate conversion of the SAF Convertible Note at the conversion price as of October 2, 2020, and (ii) the immediate exercise of the SAF Warrants.

Without giving effect to the Maximum Percentage, the number of common shares of the Company into which the SAF Convertible Note, the SAF 2019 Warrants and the SAF 2020 Warrants are convertible or exercisable, as applicable, would, respectively, be approximately: (i) 64,924,332 common shares, based on an assumed conversion price of US$0.8474 per share, the conversion price as of October 2, 2020 (assuming an exchange rate of C$1.3310 per US$1.00, which was the daily exchange rate as of October 2, 2020, as reported by the Bank of Canada), (ii) 2,452,890 common shares and (iii) 35,000,000 common shares. Under certain circumstances, SAF Jackson II LP may convert the SAF Convertible Note at an alternate conversion price of the greater of (x) US$0.1624 (the “Floor Price”) and (y) 92% of the volume-weighted average price of the Company’s common shares during the eight consecutive trading day period ending and including the date of the delivery of the applicable conversion. Assuming such circumstances arise, the maximum number of common shares issuable pursuant to the SAF Convertible Note would be 338,773,885 common shares. Because the conversion price and the Floor Price are subject to adjustment, the number of common shares that will actually be issued pursuant to the SAF Convertible Note may be more or less than the number of common shares disclosed in the foregoing sentences. Each of the Reporting Persons disclaims beneficial ownership with respect to additional common shares issuable without giving effect to the Maximum Percentage.

In connection with the Restructuring and Novation Agreement, SAF Jackson II LP agreed not to convert any SAF Convertible Note or exercise any SAF 2020 Warrants until after the earlier of (i) February 1, 2021 and (ii) the date upon which the aggregate amount of indebtedness outstanding under the senior secured subordinated convertible note issued by the Company to Hudson Bay Master Fund Ltd. is less than a specified threshold (the “Threshold”).

On October 1, 2020, SAF Jackson II LP received notice from the Company that the Threshold was met providing SAF Jackson II LP the right to convert the SAF Convertible Note and/or the SAF 2020 Warrants into the Company’s common shares up to the Maximum Percentage.

Each Reporting Person expressly disclaims any assertion or presumption that it and the other persons on whose behalf this statement is filed or who are otherwise party to the Joint Filing Agreement (as filed hereto as Exhibit 1) constitute a “group” for the purposes of Sections 13(d) and 13(g) of the Act and the rules thereunder. The filing of this sta tement should not be construed

13G

to be an admission that any member of the Reporting Persons are members of a “group” for the purposes of Sections 13(d) and 13(g) of the Act.

Each of the Reporting Persons disclaims beneficial ownership in the common shares of the Company reported herein, except to the extent of the Reporting Person’s respective pecuniary interest therein.
