Approach to Climate Change Global Carbon Footprint In terms of our own environmental impact, our carbon footprint is very small. Our workforce, consisting of 36 full-time employees, operates solely within office environments, including at our head office in Toronto in Commerce Court located at 199 Bay Street in Toronto, Ontario. Our remaining staff work in office spaces located in Barbados, the United States and Australia. Notwithstanding our small workforce and office settings, we do whatever we can to reduce our carbon footprint and environmental impact. Since 2019, we have utilized Notice-and-Access delivery procedures for our management information circular and annual meeting materials sent to our shareholders. Instead of receiving paper copies of such materials, shareholders receive a notice of the meeting, which contains information about how to access the materials electronically. Since 2020, for the limited number of management information circulars that we printed for the meeting and for internal purposes, we have reduced the size of the document and arranged to use lighter and more environmentally-friendly paper.
