In consultation with PricewaterhouseCoopers SA, the Corporation’s Board of Directors has approved the transition to PricewaterhouseCoopers' Canadian audit firm given the Corporation's jurisdiction of formation and status as a Canadian reporting issuer. As a result, PricewaterhouseCoopers SA has declined to accept the appointment as auditor of the Corporation and the Board has appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, based in Calgary, Canada, to hold office as the Corporation's auditor until the next annual meeting of shareholders. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP has consented to act as auditor of the Corporation.
The Corporation confirms that there were no reservations or modified opinions in the reports of PricewaterhouseCoopers SA reports on the Corporation’s audited consolidated financial statements for the two most recently completed financial years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
