6.You provide on page 79 that as of the date of the filing of the prospectus you have 244 registered shareholders of your subordinate voting shares and 44 registered shareholders of your proportionate voting shares. However, on page 81 you note that there are approximately 247 subordinate voting shareholders and 63 proportionate voting shareholders of record as of May 20, 2025. Please reconcile the discrepancy between the two dates and numbers of voting shareholders or advise.

 

The disclosure in the Registration Statement has been updated to provide the number of shareholders as of the same date.

 

7.You provide that the Board may determine by resolution that it is no longer in the Company’s best interests that the proportionate voting shares be maintained as a separate class of shares of the Company, and if so determined, all proportionate voting shares will automatically, without any action on the part of the holder, be converted into subordinate voting shares on the basis of 100 subordinate voting shares for each 1 proportionate voting share. Please revise your risk factor(s) to expressly address the dilution risk related to this potential for action by the Board.

 

The requested disclosure has been provided on page 10 of the Registration Statement.
