Letter to Shareholders

Fellow Shareholders,

On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am pleased to present this year's Management Information Circular and invite you to attend our Annual General Meeting to be held on Thursday, June 13, 2024, at 10:00 am PST via webcast. Details on accessing the meeting can be found in "Section 1: Voting" within this document.

The agenda will include votes for the election of directors, the selection of our independent auditors, and the adoption of an advisory resolution to support our 2024 executive compensation plan. The Annual General Meeting also allows shareholders to ask questions of the Board of Directors and Executive Management team members. We encourage you to read this Management Information Circular and vote your shares in advance, at the meeting, online, by phone, or by completing and mailing your proxy or voting instruction form by mail or fax.

In 2023, we made significant progress against our strategic priorities of implementing operational efficiencies, achieving cost reductions, and improving our balance sheet. As we move forward, we remain committed to enhancing our capabilities and seizing new opportunities for sustained growth and success. As part of our pursuit to innovate and evolve, the recent announcement with the Volvo Group to establish a joint venture focused on global adoption and commercialization of Westport's HPDI fuel system technology demonstrates our commitment to reducing CO2 emissions for long-haul and off-road applications.

With our new CEO Daniel Sceli, management and the Board are unified in Westport's growth strategy to drive success via our HPDI joint venture (JV) with the Volvo Group, improve operational excellence and reimagine a hydrogen-powered future.

Board of Directors

In our effort to better align resources and achieve cost reductions at the Board level, the Technology and Product Strategy Committee was discontinued in early 2024 with the intention of redirecting its functions and attention towards the JV. We also proactively decided to reduce the size of the Board with the retirement of Rita Forst at the end of her term. On behalf of the Board of Directors, I want to thank Rita for her invaluable insight and dedicated service to the organization.

Driving innovation, supporting the achievement of our strategic plan, and increasing shareholder value requires a Board of Directors comprised of experienced, independent-minded people. Our diverse Board continues to draw from deep areas of expertise including engineering and manufacturing in the global transportation sector, energy industry, c-suite leadership, legal, finance/accounting, governance, and risk management. I welcome you to read in detail about our director nominees and the Board of Directors Skills Matrix within this Circular.

Corporate Governance

Our central aim at Westport is to hasten the impact of the energy transition by bringing our products to market, all while meticulously minimizing our environmental footprint. In 2023, we enacted our Environmental Policy, which underscores our awareness of the necessity for ongoing initiatives and projects dedicated to minimizing the environmental footprint of our organizational activities. This commitment extends to influencing the practices of our suppliers, customers, and other stakeholders, aligning with our dedication to sustainability and responsible corporate citizenship.

Executive Compensation

At the Meeting, we will conduct our fifth annual "say-on-pay" advisory vote on executive compensation. Our most recent "say- on-pay" vote, held at the 2023 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders resulted in 86.99% of voted shares in favor of the resolution accepting our approach to executive compensation. In keeping with governance trends in North America and in the interest of soliciting your feedback, we continue to offer an annual "say-on-pay" advisory vote and encourage you to vote this year.

We appreciate your continued support in Westport, and we look forward to you joining us virtually at the 2024 Annual General Meeting.

Sincerely,

Daniel M. Hancock

Chair of the Board of Directors

The Proxy also gives discretion to the persons named in the Proxy with respect to any amendments to, or variations of, the matters identified in the Notice and to any other matters that may properly be brought before the Meeting.

Person(s) acting as an attorney or in some other representative capacity (including a representative of a corporate Shareholder) should indicate their capacity (following their signature) and provide the appropriate documents confirming qualification and

authority to act (unless these documents have previously been filed with us or Computershare).

Communication Process for Proxy-Related Materials

The Business Corporations Act (Alberta) ("ABCA") requires us to deliver a written copy of the annual financial statements to persons registered as Shareholders on the share register maintained by Computershare .

Broadridge is the approved intermediary for mailing proxy-related materials to objecting beneficial shareholders ("Objecting Beneficial Owners" or "OBOs") and non-objecting beneficial shareholders ("Non-Objecting Beneficial Owners" or "NOBOs"). Computershare, as our transfer agent, is the approved intermediary for mailing proxy-related materials to Registered Shareholders.

Voting of Common Shares

General

As of May 7, 2024, there were 17,233,960 Common Shares issued and outstanding, each of which carries the right to one vote at the Meeting. Only Registered Shareholders as of the close of business on May 7, 2024 (the "Record Date") are entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Meeting.

Beneficial Shareholders are not entitled to receive notice of the Meeting or vote their Common Shares at the Meeting and should refer to the section entitled "Beneficial Holders of Common Shares" for details regarding how they may exercise their voting rights.

Any person who acquires Common Shares after the Record Date may vote those Common Shares if, not later than ten days prior to the Meeting, that person makes a request to Computershare to have their name included as a Registered Shareholder on the list of Shareholders for the Meeting and establishes that he or she owns the Common Shares.

Beneficial Holders of Common Shares

WESTPORT FUEL SYSTEMS INC. 2024 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR | 6

Section 1: Voting | Voting of Common Shares

The information below is important as most shareholders do not hold Common Shares in their own name, but rather by a broker or an agent of that broker.

  1. If your Common Shares are held in a brokerage account, then in almost all cases those Common Shares will not be registered in your name on the share register maintained by Computershare. Those Common Shares will most likely be registered in the name of your broker or an agent of that broker.
  2. In Canada, the vast majority of Common Shares are registered in the name of CDS & Co. (the registration name for CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc., which acts as nominee for many Canadian brokerage firms). Common Shares held by brokers, or their agents or nominees can only be voted (for or against resolutions) on the instructions of the Beneficial Shareholder. Without specific instructions, brokers and their agents and nominees are prohibited from voting Common Shares for the broker's clients.
  3. Beneficial Shareholders cannot be recognized at the Meeting for purposes of voting virtually or by way of proxy unless your brokers or agents are given specific instructions. If you are a Beneficial Shareholder and wish to vote virtually at the Meeting, please contact your broker or agent in advance of the Meeting to determine how you can vote at the Meeting.

Applicable regulatory policies require brokers to seek voting instructions from Beneficial Shareholders in advance of shareholder meetings. Every brokerage has its own mailing procedures and provides its own return instructions to its clients, which should be carefully followed by Beneficial Shareholders if you wish to ensure your Common Shares are voted at the Meeting. In certain cases, the form of proxy supplied to you as a Beneficial Shareholder by your broker (or agent of the broker) is identical to the proxy provided to Registered Shareholders. However, its purpose is limited to instructing the Registered Shareholder (i.e., the broker or agent of the broker) how to vote on behalf of the Beneficial Shareholder.

Many Canadian brokers now delegate responsibility for obtaining instructions from clients to Broadridge. Broadridge typically prepares a machine-readable voting instruction form, mails that form to Beneficial Shareholders and asks them to return the instruction forms to Broadridge. Alternatively, Beneficial Shareholders can either call Broadridge's toll-free telephone line, 1-800-474-7493, or access the Broadridge dedicated voting website at www.proxyvote.comto deliver voting instructions. Broadridge then tabulates the results of all instructions received and provides instructions respecting the voting of Common Shares to be represented at the Meeting.

Beneficial Shareholders who receive a voting instruction form from Broadridge cannot use that form to vote Common Shares directly at the Meeting - voting instructions must be provided to Broadridge (in accordance with the instructions set forth on the voting instruction form provided by Broadridge) in advance of the Meeting to have the Common Shares voted.

Although a Beneficial Shareholder may not be recognized directly at the Meeting for the purposes of voting Common Shares registered in the name of your broker (or agent of the broker), a Beneficial Shareholder may attend the Meeting as a proxyholder for the Registered Shareholder and vote the Common Shares in that capacity. Beneficial Shareholders who wish to attend the Meeting and indirectly vote their Common Shares as proxyholder for the Registered Shareholder should cross out the names currently on the provided form of proxy, enter their own name(s) in the blank space on the Proxy and return the Proxy to their broker (or the broker's agent) in accordance with the instructions provided by the broker (or broker's agent) in advance of the Meeting.

Objecting Beneficial Owners (OBOs) and Non-Objecting Beneficial Owners (NOBOs)

Beneficial Shareholders fall into two categories: 1) those who object to their identity being made known to the issuers of

securities which they own (OBOs): and 2) those who do not object to their identity being made known to the issuers of the securities they own (NOBOs). Subject to the provisions of National Instrument 54-101 - Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer ("NI 54-101") issuers may request and obtain a list of their NOBOs from intermediaries via their transfer agents. Pursuant to NI 54-101, issuers may obtain and use the NOBO list for distribution of proxy-related materials directly (not via Broadridge) to such NOBOs.

Principal Holders of Common Shares

To our knowledge, as of Dec. 31, 2024 Mr. Kevin Douglas, beneficially owns, or controls or directs, directly or indirectly, approximately 1,816,699 Common Shares. He owns 10.5% of the shares outstanding.

Currency and Nomenclature in this Management Information Circular

Unless otherwise specified, all currency amounts are stated in United States dollars. All references to "dollars," "$" or "US$" are United States dollars, and all references to "C$" or "CDN$" are Canadian Dollars. Unless otherwise stated, references to "we," "us," "our," "Westport Fuel Systems" or the "Corporation" are to Westport Fuel Systems Inc. and all its directly and indirectly majority owned subsidiaries.

Matters to be Acted Upon

7 | WESTPORT FUEL SYSTEMS INC. 2024 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR

Section 1: Voting | Matters to be Acted Upon

1. Receipt of 2023 Financial Statements

Westport Fuel Systems' consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, are contained in its Annual Report, and will be forwarded to Registered Shareholders. No formal action will be taken at the Meeting to approve the financial statements, with requirements of the ABCA being met with advanced circulation of the financial statements. If any shareholders have questions regarding the financial statements, your questions may be asked at the Meeting.

2. Election of Directors

Our board of directors (the "Board of Directors" or the "Board") has fixed the number of directors to be nominated at the Meeting at eight (8) with each director being elected individually. All the current nominees were elected as directors by the Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders on April 6, 2023 (with the exception of Daniel Sceli who was appointed to the Board in January 2024). In addition to being an elected director, Ms. Eileen Wheatman is a nominee of Mr. Kevin Douglas according to the terms of a nomination agreement between us and members of the Douglas Group dated March 17, 2016. Each director elected will hold office until the next Annual General Meeting of Shareholders or until their successor is appointed unless their office is vacated earlier in accordance with the By-Laws of the Corporation.

Unless otherwise directed, the persons named in the Proxy, Daniel Sceli, CEO and Jeremy Chan, Associate General Counsel and Corporate Secretary, intend to vote FOR the election of each of the proposed nominees whose names are in this Circular under "Section 2: Board of Directors."

Majority Voting Policy

Our Board of Directors has adopted a majority voting policy (the "Majority Voting Policy") requiring any nominee for director who receives a greater number of votes "withheld" than votes "for" his or her election as a director to immediately submit his or her resignation to the Chair of the Board of Directors ("Board Chair"). The Board Chair will give notice of any resignation to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board of Directors ("NCG Committee") for consideration promptly following the Meeting. This policy applies only to uncontested elections, meaning elections where the number of nominees for directors is equal to the number of directors to be elected.

The NCG Committee shall consider the resignation and shall provide a recommendation regarding the resignation to the Board of Directors within 45 days of the applicable meeting of Shareholders. In considering whether to accept the offer of resignation, the NCG Committee will consider all information and factors deemed relevant including:

  • any stated reasons why Shareholders "withheld" votes from the election of the director
  • the length of service and the qualification of the director
  • the director's contribution to Westport Fuel Systems
  • the effect such resignation may have on our ability to comply with applicable governance rules and policies
  • the dynamics of the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors will consider the recommendation of the NCG Committee and determine whether to accept the resignation within 90 days of the applicable meeting and a news release will be issued announcing the Board of Directors' determination. In considering whether to accept the offer of resignation, the Board of Directors will consider the information and factors discussed by the NCG Committee and any additional information and factors deemed relevant by the Board.

The Board will only determine not to accept the offer of resignation in exceptional circumstances or where the acceptance of the resignation would be reasonably expected to have a material detrimental effect on the Corporation. A director who tenders his or her resignation will not participate in any meetings of the NCG Committee (if they are a member thereof) or the Board of Directors to consider whether the resignation shall be accepted. Shareholders should note that, in view of the Corporation's Majority Voting Policy, a "withhold" vote is effectively the same as a vote against a director nominee in an uncontested election.

3. Appointment of Auditors

KPMG LLP was first nominated, then elected and appointed as the auditor of the Corporation, effective September 30, 2015. Upon the unanimous recommendation of the Audit Committee, the Board of Directors has proposed that KPMG LLP be nominated for appointment as independent auditor for the current fiscal year.

Reasons for Re-Appointment of KPMG LLP

The Audit Committee considers several factors in deciding to re-engage KPMG LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm, including the following:

  • Independence controls and objectivity
  • Length of KPMG's service to Westport
  • KPMG's audit quality, performance, and results
