"Registered Shareholders" means shareholders whose names appear on the records of the Company as the registered holders of Common Shares.

GENERAL PROXY INFORMATION

Solicitation of Proxies

The solicitation of proxies will be primarily by mail, but proxies may be solicited personally or by telephone by directors, officers and regular employees of the Company. The Company will bear all costs of this solicitation. We have arranged for intermediaries to forward the meeting materials to Non-Registered Shareholders by those Intermediaries and we may reimburse the Intermediaries for their reasonable fees and disbursements in that regard.

These security holder materials are being sent to both registered and non-registered owners of the securities. If you are a non-registered owner, and the issuer or its agent has sent these materials directly to you, your name and address and information about your holdings of securities, have been obtained in accordance with applicable securities regulatory requirements from the intermediary holding on your behalf.

By choosing to send these materials to you directly, the issuer (and not the intermediary holding on your behalf) has assumed responsibility for (i) delivering these materials to you, and (ii) executing your proper voting instructions. Please return your voting instructions as specified in the request for voting instructions

Appointment and Revocation of Proxies

The individuals named in the accompanying form of proxy (the "Proxy") are officers of the Company. If you are a Registered Shareholder, you have the right to vote by proxy and to appoint a person or company other than either of the persons designated in the Proxy, who need not be a shareholder, to attend and act for you and on your behalf at the Meeting. You may do so either by inserting the name of that other person in the blank space provided in the Proxy or by completing and delivering another suitable form of Proxy.

Every Proxy may be revoked by an instrument in writing: executed by the shareholder or by his attorney authorized in writing or, where the shareholder is a company, by a duly authorized officer or attorney, of the company; and delivered either to the registered office of the Company at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the day of the meeting or any adjournment of it, at which the Proxy is to be used, or to the chairman of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof, or in any other manner provided by law.

Only Registered Shareholders have the right to revoke a Proxy. Non-Registered Shareholders who wish to change their vote must, at least seven days before the Meeting, arrange for their respective Intermediaries to revoke the Proxy on their behalf.

Voting by Proxyholder

If you have the right to vote by proxy, the persons named in the Proxy will vote or withhold from voting the Common Shares represented thereby in accordance with your instructions on any ballot that may be called for. If you specify a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, your Common Shares will be voted accordingly. The Proxy confers discretionary authority on the persons named therein with respect to:

  • (i) each matter or group of matters identified therein for which a choice is not specified,

  • (ii) any amendment to or variation of any matter identified therein,

  • (iii) any other matter that properly comes before the Meeting, and

  • (iv) exercise of discretion of Proxyholder.

In respect of a matter for which a choice is not specified in the Proxy, the persons named in the Proxy will vote the Common Shares represented by the Proxy for the approval of such matter. Management is not currently aware of any other matters that could come before the meeting.

Voting by Registered Shareholders

If you are a Registered Shareholder you may wish to vote by proxy whether or not you are able to attend the Meeting in person. Registered Shareholders electing to submit a proxy may do so by completing, dating and signing the enclosed form of proxy and returning it to the Company's transfer agent, COMPUTERSHARE INVESTOR SERVICES INC. (the "Transfer Agent"), Proxy Department, 8th Floor, 100 University Avenue, Toronto, Ontario, M5J 2Y1, in accordance with the instructions on the Proxy.

You may also vote by telephone or via the Internet. To vote by telephone, in Canada and the United States only, call 1-866-732-8683 from a touch tone phone. When prompted, enter your Control Number listed on the proxy and follow the voting instructions. To vote via the Internet, go towww.investorvote.com and enter your Control Number listed on the proxy and follow the instructions on the screen.

In all cases you should ensure that the Proxy is received at least 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) before the Meeting or the adjournment thereof at which the proxy is to be used.

ADVICE TO NON-REGISTERED HOLDERS OF COMMON SHARES

Only shareholders whose names appear on our records or validly appointed proxyholders are permitted to vote at the Meeting. Most of our shareholders are "non-registered" shareholders because their shares are registered in the name of a nominee, such as a brokerage firm, bank, trust company, trustee or administrator of a self-administered RRSP, RRIF, RESP or similar plan or a clearing agency such as CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. ("Nominee"). If you purchased your shares through a broker, you are likely a non-registered shareholder.

Non-registered holders who have not objected to their Nominee disclosing certain ownership information about themselves to us are referred to as "non-objecting beneficial owners" or "NOBOs". Those non-registered shareholders who have objected to their Nominee disclosing ownership information about themselves to us are referred to as "objecting beneficial owners" or "OBOs".

In accordance with the securities regulatory policy, we will have distributed copies of the Meeting materials, being the Notice of Meeting, this Management Information Circular, and the Proxy directly to NOBOs and to the Nominees for onward distribution to OBOs.

Nominees are required to forward the Meeting materials to each OBO unless the OBO has waived the right to receive them. Shares held by Nominees can only be voted in accordance with the instructions of the non-registered shareholder. Meeting materials sent to non-registered holders who have not waived the right to receive Meeting materials are accompanied by a request for voting instructions (a "VIF"), instead of a Proxy. By returning the VIF in accordance with the instructions noted on it, a non-registered holder is able to instruct the registered shareholder (or Nominee) how to vote on behalf of the non-registered shareholder. VIF's, whether provided by the Company or by a Nominee, should be completed and returned in accordance with the specific instructions noted on the VIF.

In either case, the purpose of this procedure is to permit non-registered holders to direct the voting of the shares of the Company which they beneficially own. Non-registered holders should carefully follow the instructions set out in the VIF including those regarding when and where the VIF is to be delivered. Should a non-registered holder who receives a VIF wish to attend the Meeting or have someone else attend on his/her behalf, the non-registered holder may request (in writing) to the Company or its Nominee, as applicable, without expense to the non-registered holder, that the non-registered holder or his/her nominee be appointed as proxyholder and have the right to attend and vote at the Meeting.

Only shareholders of record at the close of business on April 7, 2022 will be entitled to vote at the Meeting.

NOTICE-AND-ACCESS

The Company is not sending the Meeting materials to shareholders using "notice-and-access", as defined under NI 54-101.
