Footnotes PART III - NOTE 3
Mr Desmarais was a substantial shareholder of the Company by virtue of his indirect controlling interest in, amongst other, the Power Corporation of Canada ("PCC"), which in turn has deemed interest in the shares of the Company managed by PCC's subsidiaries as fund managers. The block trade was entered into by the relevant fund, Mackenzie Cundill Recovery Fund, which is the beneficial owner of the shares of the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, there had been other open market transactions prior to this block trade. Such other transactions did not cause Mr. Desmarais' deemed interests to cross a reportable threshold.

PART IV
The percentage of shares held before the change is calculated based on total number of issued ordinary shares (excluding treasury shares) being 868,701,000 as at March 18, 2010, being the date on which the interests last passed a reportable threshold.

The percentage of shares held after the change is calculated based on total number of issued ordinary shares (excluding treasury shares) being 1,189,198,368 as at July 13, 2011.
