Plan Shares will be issued directly from the treasury of DHX at a price equal to 97% of the volume weighted average price of the Common Shares traded on Toronto Stock Exchange during the last 10 trading days preceding the date on which cash dividends are paid on Common Shares (the “Dividend Payment Date”).
DHX reserves the right to amend, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time, but such action shall have no retroactive effect that would prejudice the interest of the Plan participants. Participants will not be responsible for any brokerage commissions, administration costs or other service charges in connection with the Plan. All such costs will be paid by DHX.
