An automatic purchase plan has been put into place and will be effected at the commencement of the Bid.  During its last normal course issuer bid which ended November 29, 2018 the Corporation was approved to purchase up to 600,000 of its common shares but purchased 113,860 of its common shares at an average price of $8.59; all of these shares were purchased solely through the facilities of the TSX.

Purchases pursuant to the Bid will be effected solely through the facilities of the TSX and other Canadian trading platforms, purchases and payment for the Shares will be made by the Corporation in accordance with TSX requirements and the price which Vecima will pay for any Shares acquired under the Bid will be the market price for the common shares at the time of acquisition.
