The average daily trading volume (the "ADTV") of Common Shares for the six month period beginning April 1, 2013 and ending September 30, 2013 was 179,958. Pursuant to the normal course issuer bid, Mandalay is permitted to acquire up to 16,185,328 Common Shares in the 12-month period commencing October 17, 2013 and ending on October 16, 2014, which represents 5% of the Common Shares issued and outstanding as of October 3, 2013.
