Capped Call Derivative

As discussed in note 2, the Company’s functional currency is the Canadian dollar and as discussed in note 13, the capped call transaction (the “Capped Call”) cap price is $2.72 per common share.  Because the Capped Call is priced in U.S. dollars, relative to the Company’s functional currency, US GAAP requires the Capped Call to be accounted for as a stand-alone derivative instrument (the "Capped Call Derivative"). The Capped Call Derivative is recorded at fair value on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and mark-to-market changes in fair value are recorded in earnings.  Using Level 2 inputs of the fair value hierarchy under US GAAP, the Capped Call Derivative is measured and recorded at fair value using the Black-Scholes model described below as there is no active market for the Capped Call.

The fair value of the Capped Call Derivative asset was $16.6 million as of December 15, 2025, the issuance date of the Convertible Notes and Capped Call, and was based on the $16.6 million option premium paid to the counterparty banks.  The Capped Call Derivative fair value was $15.1 million at December 31, 2025, which resulted in a $1.5 million mark-to-market loss for the year ended December 31, 2025.  The Capped Call Derivative fair value was determined using a fair value model with the following assumptions:
