P14A-47

On December 1, 2021, Aaron Brandon Ltd. entered into a binding agreement to buy inventory costing US$200,000 for delivery on February 16, 2022. Terms of the sale were COD (cash on delivery). Aaron, which has a December 31 year-end, decided to hedge its foreign exchange risk and entered into a forward agreement to receive US$200,000 at that time. Aaron designated the forward a fair value hedge. Pertinent exchange rates follow:

Date December 1, 2021 December 31, 2021 February 2, 2022 Spot rate

Date December 1, 2021 December 31, 2021 February 2, 2022 Spot rate C$ per US$1 1.010 0.980 0.990 Forward rate for delivery on February 2, 2022, C$ per US$1 1.000 0.995 0.990
