The Company’s authorized share capital consists of an unlimited number of Subordinate Voting Shares, 1 super voting share (the “Super Voting Share”), an unlimited number of preferred shares (the “Preferred Shares”), and an unlimited number of special shares (the “Special Shares”).
There are (i) 63,671,176 Subordinate Voting Shares issued and outstanding, of which 63,671,170 Subordinate Voting Shares are held by public shareholders and 6 are held indirectly by CSI (as fractional shares were not distributed as part of the dividend-in-kind), (ii) 63,582,712 Preferred Shares issued and outstanding that are held indirectly by CSI, (iii) 1 Super Voting Share issued and outstanding that is held indirectly by CSI; and (iv) 10,178,504 Special Shares issued and outstanding that are held by certain pre-acquisition shareholders of WideOrbit (the “Rolling Special Shareholders”).

In addition, CSI would indirectly hold one additional Subordinate Voting Share upon the conversion of the Super Voting Share.
