______________________________
(1) The Company includes only the target number of PBRSUs in the granted amount. During the period, actual performance results exceeded target for certain PBRSUs, resulting in incremental shares being earned. These additional shares are presented separately as “Performance adjustment” to reflect the impact of the above-target performance.
The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value (the aggregate closing share price of the Company’s common shares on February 28, 2026 that would have been received by RSU holders if all RSUs had been vested on February 28, 2026).
Tax deficiencies incurred by the Company related to the RSUs vested were nil for the year ended February 28, 2026 (February 28, 2025 - tax deficiency of nil; February 29, 2024 - tax deficiency of nil).
As at February 28, 2026, there was $29.0 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to RSUs that will be expensed over the vesting period, which, on a weighted average basis, results in a period of approximately 1.47 years.
During the year ended February 28, 2026, there were 9,648,700 RSUs granted (February 28, 2025 - 4,494,083), all of which will be settled upon vesting by the issuance of new common shares.
During the year ended February 28, 2026, the weighted average fair value for RSUs granted was $3.25 (February 28, 2025 - $1.53; February 29, 2024 - $3.51). During the year ended February 28, 2026, the fair value of RSUs that vested was $23.2 million (February 28, 2025 - $29.2 million; February 29, 2024 - $38.1 million).
