The Term of the agreement was for five (5) years, commencing September 15, 2015 and ending September 14, 2020, with the option for the Board to extend for an additional two (2) year period to September 14, 2022. In May 2020, pursuant to the agreement Exhibition Place opted to exercise its option to renew the agreement for the two (2) year period extending the agreement to September 14, 2022. Due to COVID-19 pandemic, the Board ceased business for a two (2) year period from March 13, 2020, to April 12, 2022.
