Director	Type	Quantity Previously Awarded	Quantity Vested	Vesting Price ($Cdn)		Number Held Following Vesting
Ross Clarkson	RSU	21,870	21,870	$0.68		0
	PSU	298,841	131,344	$0.68		167,497

The vested RSUs were granted in accordance with the Restricted Share Unit Plan.

The Company’s PSUs have a three-year performance period in which the Company’s total shareholder return (“TSR”) is measured against the TSR of the individual companies included in the performance peer group (“PPG”). The PPG was selected in May 2017 at the time of grant. As per the PSU Plan, depending on the Company’s relative TSR as compared to the TSR of the PPG constituents, the vesting of the 2017 PSU grant would be assessed a performance rating within a range of 0% to 200% of the original grant (inclusive of dividends). For the 2017 grant, the Company achieved a performance rating of 200%. 

The PSUs were granted in accordance with the Performance Share Unit Plan of the Company. No shares will be issued upon exercise or vesting of any of the share units as the instruments are settled in cash. Total cash payable can be calculated by taking the total units vested multiplied by the performance rating of 200% multiplied by the Vesting Price. The Vesting Price is calculated as the 5-day volume weighted average share price of trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange prior to the vesting date. The Vesting Price of the shares of the Company was calculated at Cdn $0.68.
