Material Changes
The primary material changes reported are the specific share purchases by the Board of Executive Officers and the Audit Committee during June 2022. The percentage of participation for the Group and Family Dependents decreased slightly from the opening to the closing balance (e.g., Common Shares total participation dropped from 39.22% to 35.76%), likely due to share capital adjustments or dilution, though no specific operations were recorded for this group in the month.
