To assist the Board in responding to unitholder inquiries, the Board and management have developed a process for forwarding appropriate communications to the Board. Letters and emails addressed to the Board, or any of its members either individually or as a group, are reviewed to determine if a response from the Board is appropriate. While the Board oversees management, it does not participate in the day-to-day functions and operations of ARC and hence is not normally the group best able to respond to inquiries on those matters. Inquiries of this nature will be directed to the appropriate personnel with ARC for a response.

The Board has instructed the Sr. Vice President Capital Markets to review all correspondence and, at his discretion, not forward items if they are:

Not relevant to ARC’s operations, policies and philosophies;
Commercial in nature; or
Not appropriate for consideration by the Board.

All inquiries will receive a written response from either the Board or management, where appropriate. A log of all correspondence addressed to members of the Board will be maintained and available for review by members of the Board at any time.
