From time to time, when BRP Equity does not possess material non-public information about itself or its securities, it may enter into automatic purchase plans with its broker to allow for the purchase of Preferred Shares at times when BRP Equity ordinarily would not be active in the market due to its own internal trading blackout periods and insider trading rules. Any such plans entered into with BRP Equity’s broker will be adopted in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws. The series of Preferred Shares subject to an automatic purchase plan may vary. Outside of these periods, Preferred Shares will be repurchased in accordance with management’s discretion, subject to applicable law.
