Management Information Circular

Details regarding the Meeting, the Proposed Amendment, the Option/RSU Exchange, the Arrangement, as well as the other matters to be considered by the shareholders of the Company at the Meeting, will be set out in a management information circular to be mailed in connection with the Meeting, which will be filed under the Company's profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and under the Company's profile on EDGAR at sec.gov on or about May 12, 2026. Shareholders are encouraged to read the management information circular in its entirety and other relevant materials when they become available.

Shareholders of the Company as at the close of business on Tuesday, May 5, 2026, will be entitled to receive notice of, and to vote at, the Meeting.

Notice-and-Access

The Company has decided to use the notice-and-access method to deliver the management information circular and other meeting materials for the Meeting (the "Meeting Materials") to both non-registered holders and registered shareholders. The notice-and-access mechanism allows the Company to deliver the Meeting Materials over the Internet in accordance with the notice-and-access rules adopted by the Canadian Securities Administrators under National Instrument 54-101 - Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer. Under the notice-and-access system, registered shareholders will receive a form of proxy and non-registered holders will receive a voting instruction form enabling them to vote at the Meeting. However, instead of a paper copy of the Meeting Materials, shareholders will receive a notification with information on how they may access such materials electronically. The use of this alternative means of delivery is more environmentally friendly as it will help reduce paper use and will also reduce the printing and mailing costs of the Meeting Materials. Shareholders are reminded to review carefully the Meeting Materials prior to voting.
