Dividend Reinvestment Program

Superior has determined it will restart its Dividend Reinvestment and Optional Share Purchase Plan ("DRIP"), commencing with the dividend payable to holders of record December 31, 2015 which is expected to be paid on or about January 15, 2016. Proceeds from the DRIP will be used for debt reduction and general corporate purposes. The DRIP will provide Superior's shareholders with the opportunity to reinvest their cash dividends in the future growth of the business at a 4% discount to the market price of Superior's common shares.

Under the terms of the DRIP, eligible shareholders of Superior may elect to automatically reinvest their regular monthly dividends in additional common shares of Superior, without incurring any commissions, service charges or brokerage fees. Shareholders who elect to reinvest cash dividends under the DRIP will receive common shares at a price (the Average Market Price) equal to the average closing price of the common shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange for the five day trading period ending on the business day immediately prior to the dividend payment date. The price of the common shares purchased with reinvested dividends will be 96% of the Average Market Price. Common shares purchased through the DRIP will be issued directly from Superior's treasury.

Beneficial shareholders who wish to participate in either component of the DRIP must provide enrollment instructions to the broker, investment dealer, financial institution or other nominee through which they hold their common shares and should consult such nominee regarding the process and timelines for enrolling. Registered shareholders may enroll in the DRIP by completing an authorization form and submitting the completed form to Computershare Trust Company at the address set out in the DRIP. Further information on Superior's DRIP, including the authorization form for registered shareholders can be found in the Investor Relations section of Superior's website at www.superiorplus.com.
