As of the date hereof, the Offeror has taken up and paid for 3,376,426 Class A Shares, representing approximately 64.9% of the issued and outstanding Class A Shares excluding Class A Shares, beneficially owned or over which control or direction is exercised by the Offeror or any person acting jointly or in concert with the Offeror, which were properly tendered to the Offer and not withdrawn prior to 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on March 1, 2021 (the "Initial Expiry Time"). See the Offeror's press release dated March 1, 2021. As of the close of business on March 5, 2021, an additional 305 Class A Shares have been deposited to the Offer.

BBL shareholders who tender their Class A Shares prior to the Expiry Time will receive the same $12 per Class A Share cash consideration to be received by BBL shareholders whose Class A Shares were deposited and not withdrawn prior to the Initial Expiry Time.

The Offeror will file and mail to BBL's registered and beneficial holders a corresponding notice of variation and extension regarding the extension of the Expiry Time.
