at a price equal to their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. In December 2013 the<br />
Company announced its intention to redeem the 2009 Debentures effective January 20, <strong>2014</strong>. In<br />
January <strong>2014</strong>, holders of $19.0 million principal amount of the 2009 Debentures exercised the<br />

outstanding 2009 Debentures on January 20, <strong>2014</strong>. The 2009 Debentures traded on the Toronto<br />
Stock Exchange (“TSX”) under the symbol AFN.DB.<br />
Debentures (2013)<br />
In December 2013 the Company issued $86.2 million aggregate principal amount of convertible<br />
unsecured subordinated debentures (the "2013 Debentures") at a price of $1,000 per 2013<br />
Debenture. The 2013 Debentures bear interest at an annual rate of 5.25% payable semi-annually on<br />
June 30 and December 31 with the first payment due on June 30, <strong>2014</strong>. Each 2013 Debenture is<br />
convertible into common shares of the Company at the option of the holder at a conversion price<br />
of $55.00 per common share. The maturity date of the 2013 Debentures is December 31, 2018.<br />
On and after December 31, 2016 and prior to December 31, 2017, the 2013 Debentures may be<br />
redeemed, in whole or in part, at the option of the Company at a price equal to their principal<br />
amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, provided that the volume weighted average trading price<br />
of the common shares during the 20 consecutive trading days ending on the fifth trading day<br />
preceding the date on which the notice of redemption is given is not less than 125% of the<br />
conversion price. On and after December 31, 2017, the 2013 Debentures may be redeemed, in<br />
whole or in part, at the option of the Company at a price equal to their principal amount plus accrued<br />
and unpaid interest.<br />
On redemption or at maturity, the Company may, at its option, subject to regulatory approval and<br />
provided that no event of default has occurred, elect to satisfy its obligation to pay the principal<br />
amount of the 2013 Debentures, in whole or in part, by issuing and delivering for each $100 due<br />
that number of freely tradeable common shares obtained by dividing $100 by 95% of the volume<br />
weighted average trading price of the common shares on the TSX for the 20 consecutive trading<br />
days ending on the fifth trading day preceding the date fixed for redemption or the maturity date,<br />
as the case may be. Any accrued and unpaid interest thereon will be paid in cash. The Company<br />
may also elect, subject to any required regulatory approval and provided that no event of default<br />
has occurred, to satisfy all or part of its obligation to pay interest on the 2013 Debentures by<br />
delivering sufficient freely tradeable common shares to satisfy its interest obligation.<br />
The 2013 Debentures trade on the TSX under the symbol AFN.DB.A.<br />
