Material Changes and Executive Compensation
On August 5, 2020, the Compensation Committee approved the restoration of full base salaries for certain named executive officers, effective August 9, 2020. This reverses salary reductions implemented in April 2020 during a restructuring plan. The annualized equivalent base salaries are as follows:

- Vivek Patel (CPO): $400,000
- Laurence Wilson (CAO & General Counsel): $400,000
- James Miln (VP, FP&A & Head of IR): $330,000
