Board of Directors
Composition of the Board

The Board is currently comprised of seven (7) directors six of which are independent for the purposes of NI 58-101, when taken with section 1.4 of Multilateral Instrument 52-110 Audit Committees of the CSA, provides that a board member is "independent" if the member has no direct or indirect material relationship with the Corporation, a "material relationship" being one which could, in the view of the Corporation's Board of Directors, reasonably interfere with the exercise of the members independent judgment. Based on the foregoing, Antrim has determined that Dr. Orbell, Mr. Perry, Mr. Maclean, Mr. Smith and Mr. Zammit are independent within the meaning of NI 58-101.
