Please respond to this letter by amending your registration statement and providing the
requested information or withdrawing your registration before it becomes effective on May 19,
2020. If you do not believe our comments apply to your facts and circumstances or do not
believe an amendment is appropriate, please tell us why in your response.
After reviewing any amendment to your registration statement and the information you
provide in response to these comments, we may have additional comments. Unless we note
otherwise, our references to prior comments are to comments in our April 16, 2020 letter.

effective. We have not reviewed your May 4, 2020 response letter other than to note your
response to comment 19 and your assertion that only two years of audited financial
information are required in your next amendment. As 2019 is the second year you use
IFRS, the accommodation in General Instruction G to Form 20-F is not applicable. As a
result, please provide audited financial information for the last three years in your next
amendment as required by Item 8A2 of Form 20-F. We will provide more detailed
comments relating to your registration statement following our review of a substantive
amendment to the Form 20-F that addresses this deficiency.

you have questions regarding comments on the financial statements and related matters. Please
contact Julia Griffith at 202-551-3267 or Justin Dobbie at 202-551-3469 with any other
