1. OSCAR, an acronym for "Open Source Clinical Application Resource", is an open-source EMR or "Electronic Medical Records" system developed by McMaster University's Department of Family Medicine to inspire collaboration between the wide spectrum of health professionals with the goal to drive downstream benefits to patient care.

2. Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") margin is a non-GAAP measure. It should not be construed as an alternative to net income/loss as a percentage of revenue determined in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). EBITDA margin does not have any standardized meaning under IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. The Company believes that EBITDA margin is a meaningful financial metric as it measures cash generated from operations as a percentage of revenue.
