The offering was made under the issuers' shelf registration statement on Form S-3ASR filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and was also made on a private placement basis in Canada. Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, TD Securities Inc. and Merrill Lynch Canada Inc. acted as joint book-running managers.
