The Company's shareholders voted against the Company's April 2019 Deferred Share Unit Plan ("DSU Plan") for the directors of the Company, which gave the Company the flexibility to satisfy the settlement of deferred share units ("DSUs") by issuing common shares or cash, as opposed to cash only. As a result of this vote, the Company's DSU Plan will only allow for DSUs to be satisfied in cash.
The Company's shareholders also voted against the Company's non-binding advisory vote on compensation ("Say on Pay"). Although Say on Pay is an advisory vote and the results are not binding upon the Board, the Board will take into account the results of the vote, together with shareholder feedback and best practices in compensation and governance.
