EXPLANATORY NOTE
FirstService Corporation (the “Registrant”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment”) to its original Annual Report on Form 40-F for the year ended December 31, 2023, which was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on February 22, 2024 (the “Original 2023 Annual Report” and together with this Amendment, the “Annual Report”), in order to file Exhibit 97 to the Annual Report. In addition, as required by Rule 12b-15 of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), a new certification by the Registrant’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer is filed herewith as Exhibit 31 to this Amendment, pursuant to Rule 13a-14(a) of the Exchange Act. Because no financial statements have been included in this Amendment, paragraphs 3, 4 and 5 of the certification has been omitted. The Registrant is also not including new certifications under Section 1350 of Chapter 63 of Title 18 of the United States Code (18 U.S.C. 1350) (Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002), as no financial statements are being filed with this Amendment.
This Amendment consists of a cover page, this explanatory note, the signature page, the exhibit index, Exhibit 31 and Exhibit 97. Other than expressly set forth herein, this Amendment does not, and does not purport to, amend or restate any other information contained in the Original 2023 Annual Report nor does this Amendment reflect any events that have occurred after the Original 2023 Annual Report was filed.
SIGNATURE
Pursuant to the requirements of the Exchange Act, the Registrant certifies that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form 40-F and has duly caused this Amendment to the Annual Report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereto duly authorized.
