MEETING MATERIALS

The Corporation is using notice-and-access to deliver this Circular and related materials to both its registered and nonregistered shareholders. This means that this Circular is posted online for you to access electronically instead of being mailed out. While you will still receive by mail a proxy form or a voting instruction form so you can vote your shares, instead of receiving a paper copy of this Circular, you will receive a notice outlining the matters to be addressed at the meeting and explaining how you can access this Circular electronically and how to request a paper copy. Notice-and-access is environmentally friendly and cost effective as it reduces paper, printing and postage.

You may request a paper copy of this Circular, at no charge, at any time prior to the meeting and up to one year from the date it is filed on SEDAR (www.sedar.com). Such a request can be made by calling 1 866 964 0492 (Canada and the United States) or +1 514 982 8714 (other countries) and following the instructions. If you request a paper copy of this Circular, you will not receive a new proxy form or voting instruction form, so you should keep the original form sent to you in order to vote.
