or operation and are generally available to all salaried employees, the
company is not required to disclose as compensation
(i) any contributions or premiums paid or payable by the company on
behalf of an NEO, or of a director, under these plans, and
(ii) any cash, securities, similar instruments or any other property received
by an NEO, or by a director, under these plans.
(c) For greater certainty, the plans described in paragraph (b) include plans that
provide for such benefits after retirement.
(d) If an item of compensation is not specifically mentioned or described in this
form, it is to be disclosed in column (h) ("All other compensation") of the
summary compensation table in section 3.1.
(2) Departures from format
Although the required disclosure must be made in accordance with this form, the
disclosure may
(a) omit a table, column of a table, or other prescribed information, if it does not
apply, and
(b) add tables, columns, and other information, if necessary to satisfy the
objective in section 1.1.
(3) Information for full financial year
If an NEO acted in that capacity for the company during part of the financial year for
which disclosure is required in the summary compensation table, provide details of all
of the compensation that the NEO received from the company for that financial year.
This includes compensation the NEO earned in any other position with the company
during the financial year.
Do not annualize compensation in a table for any part of a year when an NEO was not
in the service of the company. Annualized compensation may be disclosed in a
footnote.
(4) External management companies
(a) If one or more individuals acting as an NEO of the company are not
employees of the company, disclose the names of those individuals.
(b) If an external management company employs or retains one or more
individuals acting as NEOs or directors of the company and the company
has entered into an understanding, arrangement or agreement with the
external management company to provide executive management services to
the company directly or indirectly, disclose any compensation that:
(i) the company paid directly to an individual employed, or retained by the
external management company, who is acting as an NEO or director of
the company; and
(ii) the external management company paid to the individual that is
attributable to the services they provided to the company directly or
indirectly.
(c) If an external management company provides the company's executive
management services and provides executive management services to
another company, disclose:
(i) the portion of the compensation paid to the individual acting as an NEO
or director that the external management company attributes to services
the external management company provided to the company; or
(ii) the entire compensation the external management company paid to the
individual acting as an NEO or director. If the management company
allocates the compensation paid to an NEO or director, disclose the
basis or methodology used to allocate this compensation.
Commentary
An NEO may be employed by an external management company and provide
services to the company under an understanding, arrangement or agreement. In
this case, references in this form to the CEO or CFO are references to the
individuals who performed similar functions to that of the CEO or CFO. They
are generally the same individuals who signed and filed annual and interim
certificates to comply with Multilateral Instrument 52-109 Certification of
Disclosure in Issuers' Annual and Interim Filings.
(5) Director and NEO compensation
Disclose any compensation awarded to, earned by, paid to, or payable to each director
and NEO, in any capacity with respect to the company. Compensation to directors
and NEOs must include all compensation from the company and its subsidiaries.
Disclose any compensation awarded to, earned by, paid to, or payable to, an NEO, or
director, in any capacity with respect to the company, by another person or company.
(6) Determining if an individual is an NEO
For the purpose of calculating total compensation awarded to, earned by, paid to, or
payable to an individual under paragraph (c) of the definition of NEO,
(a) use the total compensation that would be reported under column (i) of the
summary compensation table required by section 3.1 for each executive
officer, as if that executive officer were an NEO for the company's most
recently completed financial year, and
(b) exclude from the calculation,
(i) any compensation that would be reported under column (g) of the
summary compensation table required by section 3.1,
(ii) any incremental payments, payables, and benefits to an executive
officer that are triggered by, or result from, a scenario listed in section
6.1 that occurred during the most recently completed financial year, and
(iii) any cash compensation that relates to foreign assignments that is
specifically intended to offset the impact of a higher cost of living in
the foreign location, and is not otherwise related to the duties the
executive officer performs for the company.
Commentary
The $150,000 threshold in paragraph (c) of the definition of NEO only applies
when determining who is an NEO in a company's most recently completed
financial year. If an individual is an NEO in the most recently completed
financial year, disclosure of compensation in prior years must be provided if
otherwise required by this form even if total compensation in a prior year is less
than $150,000 in that year.
(7) Compensation to associates
Disclose any awards, earnings, payments, or payables to an associate of an NEO, or
of a director, as a result of compensation awarded to, earned by, paid to, or payable to
the NEO or the director, in any capacity with respect to the company.
(8) New reporting issuers
(a) Subject to paragraph (b) and subsection 3.1(1), disclose information in the
summary compensation table for the three most recently completed financial
years since the company became a reporting issuer.
(b) Do not provide information for a completed financial year if the company
was not a reporting issuer for any part of that financial year, unless the
company became a reporting issuer as a result of a restructuring transaction.
(c) If the company was not a reporting issuer at any time during the most
recently completed financial year and the company is completing the form
because it is preparing a prospectus, discuss all significant elements of the
compensation to be awarded to, earned by, paid to, or payable to NEOs of
the company once it becomes a reporting issuer, to the extent this
compensation has been determined.
Commentary
1. Unless otherwise specified, information required to be disclosed under this
form may be prepared in accordance with the accounting principles the
company uses to prepare its financial statements, as permitted by NI 52-107,
or the Handbook.
2. The definition of "director" under securities legislation includes an
individual who acts in a capacity similar to that of a director.
ITEM 2 - COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
2.1 Compensation discussion and analysis
(1) Describe and explain all significant elements of compensation awarded to,
earned by, paid to, or payable to NEOs for the most recently completed financial
year. Include the following:
(a) the objectives of any compensation program or strategy;
(b) what the compensation program is designed to reward;
(c) each element of compensation;
(d) why the company chooses to pay each element;
(e) how the company determines the amount (and, where applicable, the
formula) for each element; and
(f) how each element of compensation and the company's decisions about that
element fit into the company's overall compensation objectives and affect
decisions about other elements.
(2) If applicable, describe any new actions, decisions or policies that were made after
the end of the most recently completed financial year that could affect a
reasonable person's understanding of an NEO's compensation for the most
recently completed financial year.
(3) If applicable, clearly state the benchmark and explain its components, including
the companies included in the benchmark group and the selection criteria.
(4) If applicable, disclose performance goals or similar conditions that are based on
objective, identifiable measures, such as the company's share price or earnings
per share. If performance goals or similar conditions are subjective, the company
may describe the performance goal or similar condition without providing
specific measures.
The company is not required to disclose performance goals or similar conditions
in respect of specific quantitative or qualitative performance-related factors if a
reasonable person would consider that disclosing them would seriously prejudice
the company's interests. Companies do not qualify for this exemption if they
have publicly disclosed the performance goals or similar conditions.
If the company does not disclose specific performance goals or similar
conditions, state what percentage of the NEO's total compensation relates to this
undisclosed information and how difficult it could be for the NEO, or how likely
it will be for the company, to achieve the undisclosed performance goal or
similar condition.
If the company discloses performance goals or similar conditions that are non-
GAAP financial measures, explain how the company calculates these
performance goals or similar conditions from its financial statements.
Commentary
1. The information disclosed under section 2.1 will depend on the facts.
Provide enough analysis to allow a reasonable person, applying reasonable
effort, to understand the disclosure elsewhere in this form. Describe the
significant principles underlying policies and explain the decisions relating
to compensation provided to an NEO. Disclosure that merely describes the
process for determining compensation or compensation already awarded,
earned, paid, or payable is not adequate. The information contained in this
section should give readers a sense of how compensation is tied to the
NEO's performance. Avoid boilerplate language.
2. If the company's process for determining executive compensation is very
simple, for example, the company relies solely on board discussion without
any formal objectives, criteria and analysis, then make this clear in the
discussion.
3. The following are examples of items that will usually be significant elements
of disclosure concerning compensation:
contractual or non-contractual arrangements, plans, process changes
or any other matters that might cause the amounts disclosed for the
most recently completed financial year to be misleading if used as an
indicator of expected compensation levels in future periods;
the process for determining perquisites and personal benefits;
policies and decisions about the adjustment or recovery of awards,
earnings, payments, or payables if the performance goal or similar
condition on which they are based are restated or adjusted to reduce
the award, earning, payment, or payable;
the basis for selecting events that trigger payment for any arrangement
that provides for payment at, following or in connection with any
termination or change of control;
whether the company used any benchmarking in determining
compensation or any element of compensation;
any waiver or change to any specified performance goal or similar
condition to payout for any amount, including whether the waiver or
change applied to one or more specified NEOs or to all compensation
subject to the performance goal or similar condition;
the role of executive officers in determining executive compensation;
and
performance goals or similar conditions in respect of specific
quantitative or qualitative performance-related factors for NEOs.
2.2 Performance graph
(a) This section does not apply to
(i) venture issuers,
(ii) companies that have distributed only debt securities or non-convertible,
non-participating preferred securities to the public, and
(iii) companies that were not reporting issuers in any jurisdiction in Canada
for at least 12 calendar months before the end of their most recently
completed financial year, other than companies that became new
reporting issuers as a result of a restructuring transaction.
(b) Provide a line graph showing the company's cumulative total shareholder
return over the five most recently completed financial years. Assume that
$100 was invested on the first day of the five-year period. If the company
has been a reporting issuer for less than five years, use the period that the
company has been a reporting issuer.
Compare this to the cumulative total return of at least one broad equity
market index that, to a reasonable person, would be an appropriate reference
point for the company's return. If the company is included in the S&P/TSX
Composite Total Return Index, use that index. In all cases, assume that
dividends are reinvested.
Discuss how the trend shown by this graph compares to the trend in the
company's compensation to executive officers reported under this form over
the same period.
Commentary
For section 2.2, companies may also include other relevant performance goals
or similar conditions.
2.3 Option-based awards
Describe the process the company uses to grant option-based awards to executive
officers. Include the role of the compensation committee and executive officers in
setting or amending any equity incentive plan under which an option-based award is
granted. State whether previous grants of option-based awards are taken into account
when considering new grants.

Commentary
Under subsection (1), a company is not required to disclose comparative period
disclosure in accordance with the requirements of either Form 51-102F6
Statement of Executive Compensation, which came into force on March 30, 2004,
as amended, or this form, in respect of a financial year ending before December
31, 2008.
(2) In column (c), include the dollar value of cash and non-cash base salary an NEO
earned during a financial year covered in the table (a covered financial year). If
the company cannot calculate the amount of salary earned in a financial year,
disclose this in a footnote, along with the reason why it cannot be determined.
Restate the salary figure the next time the company prepares this form, and
explain what portion of the restated figure represents an amount that the
company could not previously calculate.
(3) In column (d), disclose the dollar amount based on the grant date fair value of the
award for a covered financial year.
(4) In column (e), disclose the dollar amount based on the grant date fair value of the
award for a covered financial year. Include option-based awards both with or
without tandem share appreciation rights.
(5) For an award disclosed in column (d) or (e), in a footnote to the table or in a
narrative after the table,
(a) if the grant date fair value is different from the fair value determined in
accordance with Section 3870 of the Handbook (accounting fair value), state
the amount of the difference and explain the difference, and
(b) describe the methodology used to calculate the grant date fair value, disclose
the key assumptions and estimates used for each calculation, and explain
why the company chose that methodology.
Commentary
1. This commentary applies to subsections (3), (4) and (5).
2. The value disclosed in columns (d) and (e) of the summary compensation
table should reflect what the board of directors intended to award or pay as
compensation (grant date fair value) as set out in comment 3, below.
3. While compensation practices vary, there are generally two approaches that
boards of directors use when setting compensation. A board of directors
may decide the value in securities of the company it intends to award or pay
as compensation. Alternatively, a board of directors may decide the portion
of the potential ownership of the company it intends to transfer as
compensation. A fair value ascribed to the award will normally result from
these approaches.
A company may calculate this value either in accordance with a valuation
methodology identified in Section 3870 of the Handbook or in accordance
with another methodology set out in comment 5 below.
4. In some cases, the grant date fair value disclosed in columns (d) and (e)
may differ from the accounting fair value. For financial statement purposes,
the accounting fair value amount is amortized over the service period to
obtain an accounting cost (accounting compensation expense), adjusted at
year end as required.
5. While the most commonly used methodologies for calculating the value of
most types of awards are the Black-Scholes-Merton model and the binomial
lattice model, companies may choose to use another valuation methodology
if it produces a more meaningful and reasonable estimate of fair value.
6. The summary compensation table requires disclosure of an amount even if
the accounting compensation expense is zero. The amount disclosed in the
table should reflect the grant date fair value following the principles
described under comments 2 and 3, above.
7. Column (d) includes common shares, restricted shares, restricted share
units, deferred share units, phantom shares, phantom share units, common
share equivalent units, stock, and similar instruments that do not have
option-like features.
(6) In column (e), include the incremental fair value if, at any time during the
covered financial year, the company has adjusted, amended, cancelled, replaced
or significantly modified the exercise price of options previously awarded to,
earned by, paid to, or payable to, an NEO. The repricing or modification date
must be determined in accordance with section 3870 of the Handbook. The
methodology used to calculate the incremental fair value must be the same
methodology used to calculate the initial grant.
This requirement does not apply to any repricing that equally affects all holders
of the class of securities underlying the options and that occurs through a pre-
existing formula or mechanism in the plan or award that results in the periodic
adjustment of the option exercise or base price, an antidilution provision in a plan
or award, or a recapitalization or similar transaction.
(7) Include a footnote to the table quantifying the incremental fair value of any
adjusted, amended, cancelled, replaced or significantly modified options that are
included in the table.
(8) In column (f), include the dollar value of all amounts earned for services
performed during the covered financial year that are related to awards under non-
equity incentive plans and all earnings on any such outstanding awards.
(a) If the relevant performance goal or similar condition was satisfied during a
covered financial year (including for a single year in a plan with a multi-
year performance goal or similar condition), report the amounts earned for
that financial year, even if they are payable at a later date. The company is
not required to report these amounts again in the summary compensation
table when they are actually paid to an NEO.
(b) Include a footnote describing and quantifying all amounts earned on non-
equity incentive plan compensation, whether they were paid during the
financial year, were payable but deferred at the election of an NEO, or are
payable by their terms at a later date.
(c) Include any discretionary cash awards, earnings, payments, or payables that
were not based on pre-determined performance goals or similar conditions
that were communicated to an NEO. Report any performance-based plan
awards that include pre-determined performance goals or similar conditions
in column (f).
(d) In column (f1), include annual non-equity incentive plan compensation,
such as bonuses and discretionary amounts. For column (f1), annual non-
equity incentive plan compensation relates only to a single financial year. In
column (f2), include all non-equity incentive plan compensation related to a
period longer than one year.
(9) In column (g), include all compensation relating to defined benefit or defined
contribution plans. These include service costs and other compensatory items
such as plan changes and earnings that are different from the estimated earnings
for defined benefit plans and above-market earnings for defined contribution
plans.
This disclosure relates to all plans that provide for the payment of pension plan
benefits. Use the same amounts included in column (e) of the defined benefit
plan table required by Item 5 for the covered financial year and the amounts
included in column (c) of the defined contribution plan table as required by Item
5 for the covered financial year.
(10) In column (h), include all other compensation not reported in any other column
of this table. Column (h) must include, but is not limited to:
(a) perquisites, including property or other personal benefits provided to an
NEO that are not generally available to all employees, and that in aggregate
are worth $50,000 or more, or are worth 10% or more of an NEO's total
salary for the financial year. Value these items on the basis of the aggregate
incremental cost to the company and its subsidiaries. Describe in a footnote
the methodology used for computing the aggregate incremental cost to the
company.
State the type and amount of each perquisite the value of which exceeds
25% of the total value of perquisites reported for an NEO in a footnote to
the table. Provide the footnote information for the most recently completed
financial year only;
(b) other post-retirement benefits such as health insurance or life insurance after
retirement;
(c) all "gross-ups" or other amounts reimbursed during the covered financial
year for the payment of taxes;
(d) the incremental payments, payables, and benefits to an NEO that are
triggered by, or result from, a scenario listed in section 6.1 that occurred
before the end of the covered financial year;
(e) the dollar value of any insurance premiums paid or payable by, or on behalf
of, the company during the covered financial year for personal insurance for
an NEO if the estate of the NEO is the beneficiary;
(f) the dollar value of any dividends or other earnings paid or payable on share-
based or option-based awards that were not factored into the grant date fair
value required to be reported in columns (d) and (e);
(g) any compensation cost for any security that the NEO bought from the
company or its subsidiaries at a discount from the market price of the
security (through deferral of salary, bonus or otherwise). Calculate this cost
at the date of purchase and in accordance with Section 3870 of the
Handbook; and
(h) above-market or preferential earnings on compensation that is deferred on a
basis that is not tax exempt other than for defined contribution plans covered
in the defined contribution plan table in Item 5. Above-market or
preferential applies to non-registered plans and means a rate greater than the
rate ordinarily paid by the company or its subsidiary on securities or other
obligations having the same or similar features issued to third parties.
Commentary
1. Generally, there will be no incremental payments, payables, and benefits
that are triggered by, or result from, a scenario described in section 6.1 that
occurred before the end of a covered financial year for compensation that
has been reported in the summary compensation table for the most recently
completed financial year or for a financial year before the most recently
completed financial year.
If the vesting or payout of the previously reported compensation is
accelerated, or a performance goal or similar condition in respect of the
previously reported compensation is waived, as a result of a scenario
described in section 6.1, the incremental payments, payables, and benefits
should include the value of the accelerated benefit or of the waiver of the
performance goal or similar condition.
2. Generally, an item is not a perquisite if it is integrally and directly related to
the performance of an executive officer's duties. If something is necessary
for a person to do his or her job, it is integrally and directly related to the
job and is not a perquisite, even if it also provides some amount of personal
benefit.
If the company concludes that an item is not integrally and directly related
to performing the job, it may still be a perquisite if the item provides an
NEO with any direct or indirect personal benefit. If it does provide a
personal benefit, the item is a perquisite, whether or not it is provided for a
business reason or for the company's convenience, unless it is generally
available on a non-discriminatory basis to all employees.
Companies must conduct their own analysis of whether a particular item is
a perquisite. The following are examples of things that are often considered
perquisites or personal benefits. This list is not exhaustive:
Cars, car lease and car allowance;
Corporate aircraft or personal travel financed by the company;
Jewellery;
Clothing;
Artwork ;
Housekeeping services;
Club membership;
Theatre tickets;
Financial assistance to provide education to children of executive
officers;
Parking;
Personal financial or tax advice;
Security at personal residence or during personal travel; and
Reimbursements of taxes owed with respect to perquisites or other
personal benefit.
(11) In column (i), include the dollar value of total compensation for the covered
financial year. For each NEO, this is the sum of the amounts reported in columns
(c) through (h).
(12) Any deferred amounts must be included in the appropriate column for the
covered financial year in which they are earned.
(13) If an NEO elected to exchange any compensation awarded to, earned by, paid to,
or payable to the NEO in a covered financial year under a program that allows
the NEO to receive awards, earnings, payments, or payables in another form, the
compensation the NEO elected to exchange must be reported as compensation in
the column appropriate for the form of compensation exchanged: Do not report it
in the form in which it was or will be received by the NEO. State in a footnote
the form of awards, earnings, payments, or payables substituted for the
compensation the NEO elected to exchange.
3.2 Narrative discussion
Describe and explain any significant factors necessary to understand the information
disclosed in the summary compensation table required by section 3.1.
Commentary
The significant factors described in section 3.2 will vary depending on the
circumstances of each award but may include:
the significant terms of each NEO's employment agreement or arrangement;
any repricing or other significant changes to the terms of any share-based
or option-based award program during the most recently completed
financial year; and
the significant terms of any award reported in the summary compensation
table, including a general description of the formula or criterion to be
applied in determining the amounts payable and the vesting schedule. For
example, if dividends will be paid on shares, state this, the applicable
dividend rate and whether that rate is preferential.
3.3 Currencies
Report amounts in this form using the same currency that the company uses in its
financial statements. If compensation awarded to, earned by, paid to, or payable to an
NEO was in a currency other than the reporting currency, state in a footnote the
currency in which compensation was awarded, earned, paid, or payable, disclose the
translation rate and describe the methodology used to translate the compensation into
the reporting currency.
3.4 Officers who also act as directors
If an NEO is also a director who receives compensation for services as a director,
include that compensation in the summary compensation table and include a footnote
explaining which amounts relate to the director role. Do not provide disclosure for
that NEO under Item 7.
ITEM 4 - INCENTIVE PLAN AWARDS
4.1 Outstanding share-based awards and option-based awards
(1) Complete this table for each NEO for all awards outstanding at the end of the
most recently completed financial year. This includes awards granted before the
most recently completed financial year. For all awards in this table, disclose the
awards that have been transferred at other than fair market value.

award reported in column (b).
(4) In column (d), disclose the expiration date for each option under each award
reported in column (b).
(5) In column (e), disclose the aggregate dollar amount of in-the-money unexercised
options held at the end of the year. Calculate this amount based on the difference
between the market value of the securities underlying the instruments at the end
of the year, and the exercise or base price of the option.
(6) In column (f), disclose the total number of shares or units that have not vested.
(7) In column (g), disclose the aggregate market value or payout value of share-
based awards that have not vested.
If the share-based award provides only for a single payout on vesting, calculate
this value based on that payout.
If the share-based award provides for different payouts depending on the
achievement of different performance goals or similar conditions, calculate this
value based on the minimum payout. However, if the NEO achieved a
performance goal or similar condition in a financial year covered by the share-
based award that on vesting could provide for a payout greater than the minimum
payout, calculate this value based on the payout expected as a result of the NEO
achieving this performance goal or similar condition.

(2) In column (b), disclose the aggregate dollar value that would have been realized
if the options under the option-based award had been exercised on the vesting
date. Compute the dollar value that would have been realized by determining the
difference between the market price of the underlying securities at exercise and
the exercise or base price of the options under the option-based award on the
vesting date. Do not include the value of any related payment or other
consideration provided (or to be provided) by the company to or on behalf of an
NEO.
(3) In column (c), disclose the aggregate dollar value realized upon vesting of share-
based awards. Compute the dollar value realized by multiplying the number of
shares or units by the market value of the underlying shares on the vesting date.
For any amount realized upon vesting for which receipt has been deferred,
include a footnote that states the amount and the terms of the deferral.
4.3 Narrative discussion
Describe and explain the significant terms of all plan-based awards, including non-
equity incentive plan awards, issued or vested, or under which options have been
exercised, during the year, or outstanding at the year end, to the extent not already
discussed under sections 2.1, 2.3 and 3.2. The company may aggregate information
for different awards, if separate disclosure of each award is not necessary to
communicate their significant terms.
Commentary
The items included in the narrative required by section 4.3 will vary depending
on the terms of each plan, but may include:
the number of securities underlying each award or received on vesting or
exercise;
general descriptions of formulae or criteria that are used to determine
amounts payable;
exercise prices and expiry dates;
dividend rates on share-based awards;
whether awards are vested or unvested;
performance goals or similar conditions, or other significant conditions;
information on estimated future payouts for non-equity incentive plan
awards (performance goals or similar conditions and maximum amounts);
and
the closing market price on the grant date, if the exercise or base price is
less than the closing market price of the underlying security on the grant
date.
ITEM 5 - PENSION PLAN BENEFITS
5.1 Defined benefit plans table
(1) Complete this table for all pension plans that provide for payments or benefits at,
following, or in connection with retirement, excluding defined contribution
plans. For all disclosure in this table, use the same assumptions and methods

most recently completed financial year. In columns (d) through (g), the
disclosure must be as of the plan measurement date used in the company's
audited financial statements for the most recently completed financial year.
(3) In column (b), disclose the number of years of service credited to an NEO under
the plan. If the number of years of credited service in any plan is different from
the NEO's number of actual years of service with the company, include a
footnote that states the amount of the difference and any resulting benefit
augmentation, such as the number of additional years the NEO received.
(4) In column (c), disclose
(a) the annual lifetime benefit payable at the end of the most recently completed
financial year in column (c1) based on years of credited service reported in
column (b) and actual pensionable earnings as at the end of the most
recently completed financial year, and
(b) the annual lifetime benefit payable at age 65 in column (c2) based on years
of credited service as of age 65 and actual pensionable earnings through the
end of the most recently completed financial year, as per column (c1).
(5) In column (d), disclose the accrued obligation at the start of the most recently
completed financial year.
(6) In column (e), disclose the compensatory change in the accrued obligation for the
most recently completed financial year. This includes service cost net of
employee contributions plus plan changes and differences between actual and
estimated earnings, and any additional changes that have retroactive impact,
including, for greater certainty, a change in valuation assumptions as a
consequence of an amendment to benefit terms.
Disclose the valuation method and all significant assumptions the company
applied in quantifying the accrued obligation at the end of the most recently
completed financial year. The company may satisfy all or part of this disclosure
by referring to the disclosure of assumptions in its financial statements, footnotes
to the financial statements or discussion in its management's discussion and
analysis.
(7) In column (f), disclose the non-compensatory changes in the accrued obligation
for the company's most recently completed financial year. Include all items that
are not compensatory, such as changes in assumptions other than those already
included in column (e) because they were made as a consequence of an
amendment to benefit terms, employee contributions and interest on the accrued
obligation at the start of the year.
(8) In column (g), disclose the accrued obligation at the end of the most recently
completed financial year.
5.2 Defined contribution plans table
(1) Complete this table for all pension plans that provide for payments or benefits at,
following or in connection with retirement, excluding defined benefit plans. For

market or preferential earnings applies to non-registered plans and means a rate
greater than the rate ordinarily paid by the company or its subsidiary on
securities or other obligations having the same or similar features issued to third
parties.
(3) In column (d), disclose the non-compensatory amount, including employee
contributions and regular investment earnings on employer and employee
contributions. Regular investment earnings means all investment earnings in
registered defined contribution plans and earnings that are not above market or
preferential in other defined contribution plans.
(4) In column (e), disclose the accumulated value at the end of the most recently
completed financial year.
Commentary
For pension plans that provide the maximum of: (i) the value of a defined benefit
pension; and (ii) the accumulated value of a defined contribution pension,
companies should disclose the global value of the pension plan in the defined
benefit plans table under section 5.1.
For pension plans that provide the sum of a defined benefit component and a
defined contribution component, companies should disclose the respective
components of the pension plan. The defined benefit component should be
disclosed in the defined benefit plans table under section 5.1 and the defined
contribution component should be disclosed in the defined contribution plans
table under section 5.2.
5.3 Narrative discussion
Describe and explain for each retirement plan in which an NEO participates, any
significant factors necessary to understand the information disclosed in the defined
benefit plan table in section 5.1 and the defined contribution plan table in section 5.2.
Commentary
Significant factors described in the narrative required by section 5.3 will vary,
but may include:
the significant terms and conditions of payments and benefits available
under the plan, including the plan's normal and early retirement payment,
benefit formula, contribution formula, calculation of interest credited under
the defined contribution plan and eligibility standards;
provisions for early retirement, if applicable, including the name of the NEO
and the plan, the early retirement payment and benefit formula and
eligibility standards. Early retirement means retirement before the normal
retirement age as defined in the plan or otherwise available under the plan;
the specific elements of compensation (e.g., salary, bonus) included in
applying the payment and benefit formula. If a company provides this
information, identify each element separately; and
company policies on topics such as granting extra years of credited service,
including an explanation of who these arrangements relate to and why they
are considered appropriate.
5.4 Deferred compensation plans
Describe the significant terms of any deferred compensation plan relating to each
NEO, including:
(a) the types of compensation that can be deferred and any limitations on the
extent to which deferral is permitted (by percentage of compensation or
otherwise);
(b) significant terms of payouts, withdrawals and other distributions; and
(c) measures for calculating interest or other earnings, how and when these
measures may be changed, and whether an NEO or the company chose these
measures. Quantify these measures wherever possible.
ITEM 6 - TERMINATION AND CHANGE OF CONTROL BENEFITS
6.1 Termination and change of control benefits
(1) For each contract, agreement, plan or arrangement that provides for payments to
an NEO at, following or in connection with any termination (whether voluntary,
involuntary or constructive), resignation, retirement, a change in control of the
company or a change in an NEO's responsibilities, describe, explain, and where
appropriate, quantify the following items:
(a) the circumstances that trigger payments or the provision of other benefits,
including perquisites and pension plan benefits;
(b) the estimated incremental payments, payables, and benefits that are
triggered by, or result from, each circumstance, including timing, duration
and who provides the payments and benefits;
(c) how the payment and benefit levels are determined under the various
circumstances that trigger payments or provision of benefits;
(d) any significant conditions or obligations that apply to receiving payments or
benefits. This includes but is not limited to, non-compete, non-solicitation,
non-disparagement or confidentiality agreements. Include the term of these
agreements and provisions for waiver or breach; and
(e) any other significant factors for each written contract, agreement, plan or
arrangement.
(2) Disclose the estimated incremental payments, payables, and benefits even if it is
uncertain what amounts might be paid in given circumstances under the various
plans and arrangements, assuming that the triggering event took place on the last
business day of the company's most recently completed financial year. For
valuing share-based awards or option-based awards, use the closing market price
of the company's securities on that date.
If the company is unsure about the provision or amount of payments or benefits,
make a reasonable estimate (or a reasonable estimate of the range of amounts)
and disclose the significant assumptions underlying these estimates.
(3) Despite subsection (1), the company is not required to disclose the following:
(a) Perquisites and other personal benefits if the aggregate of this compensation
is less than $50,000. State the individual perquisites and personal benefits as
required by paragraph 3.1(10)(a).
(b) Information about possible termination scenarios for an NEO whose
employment terminated in the past year. The company must only disclose
the consequences of the actual termination.
(c) Information in respect of a scenario described in subsection (1) if there will
be no incremental payments, payables, and benefits that are triggered by, or
result from, that scenario.
Commentary
1. Subsection (1) does not require the company to disclose notice of
termination without cause, or compensation in lieu thereof, which are
implied as a term of an employment contract under common law or civil
law.
2. Item 6 applies to changes of control regardless of whether the change of
control results in termination of employment.
3. Generally, there will be no incremental payments, payables, and benefits
that are triggered by, or result from, a scenario described in subsection (1)
for compensation that has been reported in the summary compensation table
for the most recently completed financial year or for a financial year before
the most recently completed financial year.
If the vesting or payout of the previously reported compensation is
accelerated, or a performance goal or similar condition in respect of the
previously reported compensation is waived, as a result of a scenario
described in subsection (1), the incremental payments, payables, and
benefits should include the value of the accelerated benefit or of the waiver
of the performance goal or similar condition.
