to vote at, or attend, the Meeting and how to appoint a third party
proxyholder. Please note that shareholders attending the Meeting
must be connected to the internet at all times during the Meeting
in order to be able to vote when balloting commences.
To vote for the election of Mr. Richardson as a
director of the Corporation at the Meeting, shareholders are
directed to treat the election boxes for Mr. Kaushal on the form of
proxy or voting instruction form, as applicable, as election boxes
for Mr. Richardson. For greater certainty, all votes cast in

cast in support of or withheld from Mr. Richardson.
Registered shareholders who have already
executed and submitted the form of proxy enclosed in the Circular
who wish to change their vote may do so by:
- completing a proxy form that is
dated later than the proxy form being revoked and mailing or faxing
it to Computershare Trust Company of Canada, the Corporation’s

not be revoked and will continue to be counted by our transfer
agent in tabulating the vote with respect to the matters put forth
at the Meeting.

shareholder who holds their shares through a broker, investment
dealer, bank, trust company, custodian, nominee or other

that is not received by the intermediary in sufficient time prior
to the Meeting. Non-registered shareholders who have not duly
appointed themselves as proxyholders will be able to attend the
Meeting as guests, but will not be able to vote at the Meeting. If
