This proxy is solicited on behalf of management of the Company. Shareholders have the right to appoint a person to represent them at the Norbord Meeting, other than the nominees designated above, and each shareholder may exercise such right by inserting the name of his/her nominee in the blank space provided above for that purpose (a “Third-Party Proxyholder”). If a shareholder wishes to appoint a Third-Party Proxyholder, this proxy form must be completed and returned to AST Trust Company (Canada) (“AST”). To register a Third-Party Proxyholder, a shareholder must contact AST by phone at 1-866-751-6315 (within North America) or 212-235-5754 (outside North America) by no later than 1:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on January 15, 2021, or not less than 48 hours (Saturdays, Sundays and statutory holidays excepted) prior to the time any adjourned or postponed Norbord Meeting is reconvened or held, and must provide AST with the required proxyholder contact information so that AST may provide the Third-Party Proxyholder with a 13-digit control number via email. This control number will allow a Third-Party Proxyholder to log in and vote at the Norbord Meeting. Without a control number, a Third-Party Proxyholder will be able to log in to the Norbord Meeting as a guest only but will not be able to vote at the Norbord Meeting.
