As announced by the Company on July 29, 2015, a meeting of the Continued Listing Committee of TSX (the "Committee") was scheduled on August 25, 2015 and their decision was expected no later than August 28, 2015.

If, at any time, the TSX becomes aware of additional negative developments such that the continued trading or listing of the Company's securities is contrary to the public interest, an expedited review will be initiated.
