Windstorm Board Approval and Fairness Opinion
The approval of Windstorm shareholders will be required as a condition to completing the Transaction. Shareholders will be asked to approve the Transaction at a special meeting (the "Meeting") to be held on June 28, 2012. Based on a number of factors, including receipt of a fairness opinion from Ross Glanville & Associates Ltd. that the Transaction is fair, from a financial point of view, to Windstorm's shareholders (subject to the assumptions and qualifications set out in the fairness opinion), the Board of Directors of Windstorm, on the recommendation of its independent committee of directors, determined that the Transaction is in the best interests of Windstorm and recommends that Windstorm shareholders vote in favour of approving the Transaction at the Meeting.

Subject to all required shareholder, court, TSX Venture Exchange and regulatory approvals, closing of the Transaction is expected to occur shortly after the Meeting, but no later than July 31, 2012.
