Dividend Reinvestment Program

Under the current terms of the DRIP, eligible shareholders of Superior may elect to automatically reinvest their regular monthly dividends in additional common shares of Superior, without incurring any commissions, service charges or brokerage fees. Shareholders who elect to reinvest cash dividends under the DRIP will receive common shares based upon the average closing price of the common shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) for the five-day trading period ending on the business day immediately prior to the dividend payment date (the “Average Market Price”). The price of the common shares purchased with reinvested dividends will be 96% of the Average Market Price. Common shares purchased through the DRIP will be issued from treasury. Any amendment to the terms of the DRIP will require the prior approval of the TSX.

Beneficial shareholders who wish to participate in the DRIP must provide enrollment instructions to the broker, investment dealer, financial institution or other nominee through which they hold their common shares and should consult such nominee regarding the process and timelines for enrolling. Registered shareholders may enroll in the DRIP by completing an authorization form and submitting the completed form to Computershare Trust Company at the address set out in the DRIP.
