The vast majority of our Shareholders vote by proxy in advance of the meeting and we encourage Shareholders to continue to vote in this manner using one of the methods described in the Information Circular.

As an alternative to completing and submitting a proxy for use at the Meeting, a Shareholder may vote electronically on the internet at www.investorvote.com. Votes cast electronically are in all respects equivalent to, and will be treated in the same manner as, votes cast via a paper form of proxy. Shareholders who wish to vote using internet or by telephone should follow the instructions provided in the form of proxy.
