Static PricingAn outdated practice as it does not allow for a nimble pricing strategy and adapting offers to supply/demand and market trends in order to maximize revenue and profit margins

Incorrect PricesPricing at the shelf is often times inaccurate, costing companies millions

DISCLAIMERS

STATUTORY RIGHTS OF ACTION

In certain circumstances, purchasers resident in certain provinces of Canada, are provided with a remedy of rescission or damages, or both, in addition to any other right they may have at law, where an offering memorandum (such as this presentation) and any amendment to it contains a misrepresentation. Where used herein, “misrepresentation” means an untrue statement of a material fact or an omission to state a material fact that is required to be stated or that is necessary to make any statement not misleading in light of the circumstances in which it was made. These remedies, or notice with respect to these remedies, must be exercised or delivered, as the case may be, by the purchaser within the time limits prescribed by applicable securities legislation. The following summary is subject to the express provisions of the applicable securities laws, regulations and rules, and reference is made thereto for the complete text of such provisions. Such provisions may contain limitations and statutory defences not described here on which the Company or other related entity issuing securities pursuant to any offering and other applicable parties may rely. Purchasers should refer to the applicable provisions of the securities legislation of their province for the particulars of these rights or consult with a legal adviser.

The following is a summary of statutory rights of rescission or damages, or both, available to certain purchasers resident in the province of Ontario, and to purchasers resident in the provinces of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Saskatchewan. In Ontario, statutory rights of rescission or damages are not available if the purchaser is: (a) an association governed by the Cooperative Credit Associations Act (Canada) or a central cooperative credit society for which an order has been made under Section 473(1) of that act; (b) a bank, loan corporation, trust company, trust corporation, insurance company, treasury branch, credit union, caisse populaire, financial services corporation, or league that, in each case, is authorized by an enactment of Canada or a jurisdiction of Canada to carry on business in Canada or a jurisdiction in Canada; (c) a Schedule III bank, meaning an authorized foreign bank named in Schedule III of the Bank Act (Canada); (d) the Business Development Bank of Canada incorporated under the Business Development Bank of Canada Act (Canada); or (e) a subsidiary of any person referred to in paragraphs (a), (b), (c) or (d), if the person owns all of the voting securities of the subsidiary, except the voting securities required by law to be owned by the directors of the subsidiary.

If there is a misrepresentation herein and you are a purchaser under securities legislation in Ontario, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia or Saskatchewan you have, without regard to whether you relied upon the misrepresentation, a statutory right of action for damages, or while still the owner of the securities, for rescission against the Company, and in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Saskatchewan, a statutory right of action for damages against the directors of the Company. This statutory right of action is subject to the following:

(a) if you elect to exercise the right of action for rescission, you will have no right of action for damages against the Company;

(b) except with respect to purchasers resident in Nova Scotia, no action shall be commenced to enforce a right of action for rescission after 180 days from the date of the transaction that gave rise to the cause of action;

Page 29: TECHNOLOGY, TODAY CSE: DVN THE FUTURE OF RETAIL DIGITAL

(c) no action shall be commenced to enforce a right of action for damages after the earlier of (i) 180 days (with respect to purchasers resident in Ontario) or one year (with respect to purchasers resident in Saskatchewan and New Brunswick) after you first had knowledge of the facts giving rise to the cause of action and (ii) three years (with respect to purchasers resident in Ontario) or six years (with respect to purchasers resident in Saskatchewan and New Brunswick) after the date of the transaction that gave rise to the cause of action;

(d) with respect to purchasers resident in Nova Scotia, no action shall be commenced to enforce a right of action for rescission or damages after 120 days from the date on which payment for the securities was made by you;

(e) the Company will not be liable if it proves that you purchased the securities with knowledge of the misrepresentation;

(f) in the case of an action for damages, the Company will not be liable for all or any portion of the damages that it proves do not represent the depreciation in value of the securities as a result of the misrepresentations; and

(g) in no case will the amount recoverable in such action exceed the price at which the securities were sold to you.

The foregoing is a summary only and is subject to the express provisions of the Securities Act (Ontario), the Securities Act (New Brunswick), the Securities Act (Nova Scotia) and the Securities Act (Saskatchewan), and the rules, regulations and other instruments thereunder, and reference is made to the complete text of such provisions contained therein. Such provisions may contain limitations and statutory defences on which the Company and other applicable parties may rely.

Notwithstanding that the Securities Act (British Columbia), the Securities Act (Alberta), and the Securities Act (Quebec) do not provide, or require the Company to provide, to purchasers resident in these jurisdictions any rights of action in circumstances where this presentation or an amendment hereto contains a misrepresentation, the Company hereby grants to such purchasers contractual rights of action that are equivalent to the statutory rights of action set forth above with respect to purchasers resident in Ontario.

In Manitoba, the Securities Act (Manitoba), in Newfoundland and Labrador, the Securities Act (Newfoundland and Labrador), in Prince Edward Island, the Securities Act (PEI), in Yukon, the Securities Act (Yukon), in Nunavut, the Securities Act (Nunavut) and in the Northwest Territories, the Securities Act (Northwest Territories) provide a statutory right of action for damages or rescission to purchasers resident in Manitoba, Newfoundland and Labrador, PEI, Yukon, Nunavut, and Northwest Territories, respectively, in circumstances where this presentation or an amendment hereto contains a misrepresentation, which rights are similar, but not identical, to the rights available to Ontario purchasers.

The statutory rights of action described above are in addition to and without derogation from any other right or remedy at law.
