The Company is party to a Master Framework Agreement (MFA) with the Province of Ontario dated September 22, 2015. Pursuant to the MFA, the Company entered into a shareholders’ agreement dated January 1, 2016. Under the terms of the Shareholders Agreement, from 2016 to 2023 the Company operated on a self-sustaining, break-even cash flow basis. Due to differences in the timing of accounting revenue and expenses compared to net cash flows, the Company could report an operating loss for accounting purposes despite full funding of operating cash requirements. Any excess or shortfall of the Company’s cash revenue versus cash costs was refunded or charged on a pro rata basis to all brewers that sold product through the Company. The Board of Directors of the Company determined the amount and timing of payments brewers were entitled to receive from or refund to the Company to maintain cash flow neutrality.
