The fair values of the 2022 PSP awards granted during the three months ended March 31, 2022 were determined at the grant dates using a Monte Carlo simulation pricing model and the following assumptions:
Risk free interest rate (1)

Expected dividend yield (2)
5.7  %
Expected volatility (3)
65  %
(1)Represents the interest rate as of the grant date on US treasury bonds having the same life as the estimated life of the restricted unit grants.
(2)The dividend yield is calculated utilizing the average dividend yield over the previous three-year period and the current dividend yield as of the valuation date.
(3)Based on a mix of historical and implied volatility for our common shares and the common shares of our peer index companies over the measurement period.
