API effected the reverse stock split by filing a charter amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware for its common shares and articles of amendment pursuant to the Ontario Business Corporation Act for its exchangeable shares. The reverse stock split was previously approved by API's Board of Directors and by API's shareholders pursuant to Section 242 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware for its common shares and pursuant to the Ontario Business Corporation Act for its exchangeable shares.

Pursuant to the reverse stock split, each holder of API's common shares or exchangeable shares on the date of effectiveness of the reverse stock split became entitled to receive one new common share or new exchangeable share, as applicable, for every fifteen old common shares or old exchangeable shares, as applicable, held by such person.
