The Company’s Board of Directors has fixed the close of business on April 14, 2022 as the record date for determining shareholders entitled to receive notice of, and to vote at, the Meeting, or any postponement or adjournment thereof. No person who becomes a shareholder of record

after that time will be entitled to vote at the Meeting or any postponement or adjournment thereof.

Registered shareholders and duly appointed proxyholders will be able to participate in the Meeting, ask questions and vote, all in real time, provided they are connected to the internet and comply with all of the requirements set out in the Circular. Non-registered shareholders who have not duly appointed themselves as proxyholders will be able to participate in the Meeting as guests, but guests will not be able to vote at the Meeting. If you are a non-registered shareholder located in the United States and wish to appoint yourself as a proxyholder in order to attend, participate or vote at the Meeting, you MUST also obtain a valid legal proxy from your intermediary and submit it to TSX Trust Company (the “Transfer Agent”).

If you are unable to attend the Meeting, please complete, date, sign and return the accompanying form of proxy or voting instruction form, as applicable enclosed herewith for use at the Meeting or any adjournment thereof. To be effective, the attached proxy or voting instruction form must be received not later than May 25, 2022 at 10:00 a.m. (ET). These instructions include the additional step of registering such proxyholder with the Transfer Agent, after submitting the form of proxy or voting instruction form. Failure to register the proxyholder with the Transfer Agent will result in the proxyholder not receiving a control number to participate in the virtual meeting and only being able to attend as a guest.
