11.

a. any known ongoing or concluded investigations by:
i. a Canadian securities regulatory authority, or
ii. a court or regulatory body, other than a Canadian securities regulatory authority, that would be likely to be considered important to a reasonable investor making an investment decision; or

15. Upon the granting of the Order, Ontario will be the principal regulator of the Issuer and the Issuer will amend its SEDAR profile to indicate that Ontario is its principal regulator.
16. The Issuer will remit all participation fees due and payable by it pursuant to Commission Rule 13-502 Fees no later than two business days from the date hereof.
AND UPON the Commission being satisfied that to do so would not be prejudicial to the public interest;
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED pursuant to subsection 1(11)(b) of the Act that the Issuer is deemed to be a reporting issuer for the purposes of Ontario securities law.
DATED at Toronto on this 17th day of July, 2015.
