(the “Agent”). Any Units sold in the ATM Program will be distributed through the Toronto Stock Exchange or any other permitted marketplace. The volume and timing of distributions under the ATM Program, if any, will be determined at the Trust’s sole discretion. The ATM Program will be effective until December 26, 2023 unless terminated prior to such date by the Trust or otherwise in accordance with the terms of the Equity Distribution Agreement.

As Units sold in the ATM Program will be distributed at the market prices prevailing at the time of the sale, prices may vary among purchasers during the period of the distribution. Distributions of the Units through the ATM Program will be made pursuant to the terms of the Equity Distribution Agreement. In connection with the renewal of the ATM Program, the Trust has filed a prospectus supplement dated November 30, 2021 (the “Prospectus Supplement”) to the final base shelf prospectus dated November 26, 2021 (the “Shelf Prospectus”).
