PROXIES

Attendance and Voting at the Virtual Meeting

Shareholders of Boyd Group Services Inc. ("BGSI") may attend the Meeting virtually using an internet connected device such as a laptop, computer, tablet or mobile phone and the meeting platform will be supported across browsers and devices that are running the most updated version of the applicable software plugins. BGSI has determined to hold this year's Meeting virtually in order to facilitate participation by the broadest possible cross section of shareholders, regardless of their physical location, particularly following its listing on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") late last year. Virtual meeting technology affords all participants, regardless of physical location, an equal opportunity to participate in the Meeting. Participants may listen to the proceedings, ask questions and submit votes, all in real-time.

The steps that shareholders will need to follow to access the Meeting will depend on whether they are Registered Shareholders or Beneficial Shareholders. You are a Registered Shareholder if your name appears on your share certificate. You are a Beneficial Shareholder if your bank, trust company, securities broker, trustee or other financial institution holds your common shares of BGSI ("Shares") on your behalf. Please read and follow the applicable instructions below carefully.

Registered Shareholders

If you are a Registered Shareholder, Broadridge Investor Communications Corporation ("Broadridge") will have sent you a form of proxy. Registered Shareholders planning to access and vote during the Meeting need not complete the form of proxy or return it to Broadridge since you will be accessing and voting at the Meeting during the live webcast. If you are planning to access the Meeting, your form of proxy will be required in order for you to complete the instructions below, which must be followed very carefully:

  1. Log into www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/BOYD2026 at least 15 minutes before the Meeting starts. You should allow ample time to check into the virtual meeting and to complete the related procedures.

9

  1. Enter your 16-digit control number into the Shareholder Login section (your control number is located on your proxy form) and click on "Join Meeting".
  2. Follow the instructions to access the Meeting and vote when prompted.

Even if you currently plan to access the Meeting, you should consider voting your Shares by proxy in advance so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to attend the Meeting or in the event that you are unable to access the Meeting for any reason. If you access and vote on any matter at the Meeting during the live webcast, then you will revoke any previously submitted proxy.

If you are a Registered Shareholder and wish to appoint a proxyholder other than the persons designated in the proxy form to act on your behalf at the Meeting, you must appoint them as proxyholder as described below under the heading "Designating an Appointee", by providing an "Appointee Name" and designating an 8-character "Appointee Identification Number". Please note that these steps must be completed prior to the proxy deadline (defined below) or your appointee will not be able to vote your Shares at the Meeting.

Beneficial Shareholders

Beneficial Shareholders wishing to access and vote at the Meeting during the live webcast can do so as follows:

  1. Appoint yourself as proxyholder as described below under the heading "Designating an Appointee", by providing an "Appointee Name" and designating an 8-character "Appointee Identification Number". Please note that these steps must be completed prior to the proxy deadline (defined below) or you will not be able to vote your Shares at the Meeting during the live webcast.
  2. Follow the instructions below for proxyholders to log in and vote at the Meeting.

In the event that the proxy deadline is waived by BGSI prior to the Meeting, all Beneficial Shareholders will be able to access and vote at the Meeting during the live webcast in the same manner as for Registered Shareholders described above except that your 16-digit control number will be located on your voting information form or form of proxy. In that case, if you have previously provided voting instructions or appointed another person to vote on your behalf and you choose to access and vote on any matter


10

at the Meeting during the live webcast, then you will revoke all prior voting instructions or appointments. If you do not wish to revoke your prior instructions or appointments, you will still be able to access the Meeting virtually and you will be able ask questions. You should not assume that the proxy deadline will be waived in whole or in part, and you should vote prior to the Meeting or appoint yourself or another person to vote on your behalf at the Meeting prior to the proxy deadline to ensure your vote is counted at the Meeting.

A Beneficial Shareholder wishing to access the Meeting without voting during the live webcast – for example, because you have provided voting instructions prior to the Meeting or appointed another person to vote on your behalf at the Meeting – can access the Meeting in the same manner as for Registered Shareholders described above using the 16-digit control number located on your voting information form or form of proxy. You will be able to ask questions if you access the Meeting in this manner.

If you are a Beneficial Shareholder and wish to appoint a proxyholder other than the persons designated in the voting instruction form to act on your behalf at the Meeting, you must appoint them as proxyholder as described below under the heading "Designating an Appointee", by providing an "Appointee Name" and designating an 8-character "Appointee Identification Number". Please note that these steps must be completed prior to the proxy deadline (defined below) or your appointee will not be able to vote your Shares at the Meeting.

Proxyholders

If you have been appointed as proxyholder for a Registered Shareholder or Beneficial Shareholder (or you are a Beneficial Shareholder who has appointed themselves as proxyholder), you can access and vote at the Meeting during the live webcast as follows:

  1. Log into www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/BOYD2026 at least 15 minutes before the Meeting starts. You should allow ample time to check into the virtual meeting and to complete the related procedures.
  2. Enter the Appointee Name and Appointee Identification Number under the Proxyholder/Appointee login section exactly as it was provided to Broadridge by the shareholder who appointed you as proxyholder and click on "Join Meeting". If this information is not provided to you by such shareholder, or if you do not enter it exactly as that shareholder provided it to Broadridge, you will not be able to access the Meeting or vote on their

11

behalf during the live webcast. If you have been appointed as proxyholder for more than one shareholder, you will be asked to enter the Appointee Name and Appointee Identification Number for each separate shareholder in order to vote the applicable Shares on their behalf at the Meeting.

  1. Follow the instructions to access the Meeting and vote when prompted.

All shareholders must provide the Appointee Name and Appointee Identification Number to their appointed proxyholder exactly as they provided it to Broadridge online at www.proxyvote.com or on their voting information form or form of proxy in order for their proxyholder to access and vote their Shares at the Meeting during the live webcast. If you do not provide these details to your proxyholder, they will not be able to access the Meeting.

Proxyholders who have forgotten or misplaced the applicable Appointee Name and Appointee Identification Number should contact the shareholder who appointed them as quickly as possible.

If that shareholder has forgotten or misplaced the applicable Appointee Name and Appointee Identification Number, they should follow the steps described under the heading "Attendance and Voting at the Virtual Meeting – Beneficial Shareholders" as quickly as possible.

Designating an Appointee

If you are a Registered Shareholder and wish to appoint a proxyholder other than the persons designated in the proxy form to participate virtually in the Meeting or if you are a Beneficial Shareholder wishing to do so, or if you wish to appoint yourself as proxyholder to attend and vote at the Meeting, you must follow the additional instructions on your voting instruction form or form of proxy very carefully, including:

a. Inserting an “Appointee Name” and designating an 8-character “Appointee Identification Number” online at www.proxyvote.com or in the spaces provided on your form of proxy or voting information form; and
b. If you have appointed someone other than yourself to access and vote at the Meeting on your behalf, informing your appointed proxyholder of the exact Appointee Name and 8-character Appointee Identification Number prior to the Meeting.


12

You are encouraged to appoint your proxyholder online at www.proxyvote.com in accordance with the instructions on the voting instruction form or form of proxy as this will reduce the risk of any mail disruptions and will allow you to share the Appointee Name and Appointee Identification Number you have created with your appointed proxyholder more easily. You may also complete and return your form of proxy by following the instructions on your voting instruction form or form of proxy.

Please note that if you wish to appoint a person as your proxyholder other than the persons designated in the proxy form and you do not designate the Appointee Name and Appointee Identification Number as required when completing your appointment online or on your voting instruction form or form of proxy or if you do not provide the exact Appointee Name and Appointee Identification Number to that other person, that other person will not be able to access the Meeting and vote on your behalf.

Asking Questions at the Virtual Meeting

BGSI believes that the ability to participate in the Meeting in a meaningful way, including asking questions, remains important for those accessing this year's Meeting virtually. Registered Shareholders and duly appointed proxyholders (including Beneficial Shareholders who have appointed themselves as proxyholders) will have an opportunity to ask questions at the Meeting, making motions and raise procedural questions in writing by sending a message to the chair of the Meeting online through the virtual meeting platform. It is anticipated that shareholders will have substantially the same opportunity to ask questions on matters of business at the Meeting as in past years when the annual shareholders' meeting was held in person.

Questions for the Meeting may be submitted before the Meeting using the following email address: [email protected].

The chair of the Meeting and other members of BGSI management present will answer questions relating to matters to be voted on before the polls close. General questions will be addressed during a question and answer period following the conclusion of the Meeting. In order for as many questions as possible to be answered, Registered Shareholders and duly appointed proxyholders (including Beneficial Shareholders who have appointed themselves as proxyholders) are asked to be brief and concise and to address only one topic per question. Questions from multiple Registered Shareholders and proxyholders on the same topic or that are otherwise related may be grouped, summarized and answered together.


13

All shareholder questions are welcome. However, we do not intend to address questions that:

  • Are irrelevant to the business of the Meeting or to BGSI’s operations;
  • Are related to personal grievances;
  • Are related to non-public information about BGSI;
  • Constitute derogatory references to individuals or that are otherwise offensive to third parties;
  • Are repetitious or have already been asked by other shareholders;
  • Are in furtherance of a shareholder’s personal or business interest; or
  • Are out of order or not otherwise appropriate as determined by the chair or secretary of the Meeting in their reasonable judgment.

The chair of the Meeting has broad authority to conduct the Meeting in an orderly manner. To ensure the Meeting is conducted in a manner that is fair to all shareholders, the chair of the Meeting may exercise broad discretion with respect to, for example, the order in which questions are asked and the amount of time devoted to any one question. BGSI will do its best to respond to questions during the Meeting. After the Meeting BGSI will follow up on any questions not answered during the Meeting with the shareholder or proxyholder as appropriate, to the extent contact details have been provided.

Difficulties Accessing the Virtual Meeting

If you have questions regarding the Meeting portal or require assistance accessing the Meeting website, you may call Broadridge’s technical support line listed on the www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/BOYD2026 meeting website on the day of the Meeting.

If you are accessing the Meeting you must remain connected to the internet at all times during the Meeting in order to vote when balloting commences. It is your responsibility to ensure internet connectivity for the duration of the Meeting. Note that if you lose connectivity once the Meeting has commenced, there may be insufficient time to resolve your issue before ballot voting is completed. Therefore, even if you currently plan to access the Meeting and vote during the live webcast, you should consider voting your Shares in advance or by proxy so that your vote will be counted in the event you experience any technical difficulties or are otherwise unable to access the Meeting.


14

Attending the Meeting as a Guest

If you wish to access the virtual Meeting as a guest, you can log into the Meeting as set out below. Note that guests will be able to listen to the Meeting but will not be able to ask questions or vote. Please read and follow the instructions below carefully.

  1. Log into www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/BOYD2026 at least 15 minutes before the Meeting starts. You should allow ample time to check into the virtual meeting and to complete the related procedures.
  2. Complete the GUEST LOGIN section and click on "Join Meeting".

Solicitation of Proxies

This Management Information Circular is provided in connection with the solicitation by management of BGSI of proxies to be used at the Meeting of Shareholders to be held on Wednesday, May 13, 2026 at 1:00 p.m. (CT) at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/BOYD2026 and for any adjournment thereof.

The solicitation of proxies will be made primarily by mail but proxies may also be solicited by officers, directors, employees or agents of BGSI personally, in writing or by telephone. Unless otherwise stated, the information provided in this Management Information Circular is given as at March 24, 2026. Except as noted below, the total cost of the solicitation will be borne by BGSI, and such costs are expected to be nominal.

Proxy materials are being sent to Registered Shareholders directly and in the case of Beneficial Shareholders will be sent to the bank, trust company, securities broker, trustee or other financial institution acting on the Beneficial Owner's behalf, or its agent, for forwarding to all Beneficial Shareholders. BGSI does not pay for the cost of forwarding proxy materials to Beneficial Shareholders who are objecting beneficial owners (as defined under applicable securities laws) and such Beneficial Owners will not receive the materials unless the intermediary acting on their behalf assumes the costs of delivery.

Appointment and Revocation of Proxies

A form of proxy or voting instruction form is enclosed. The persons designated in the form of proxy as proxyholders are management of BGSI and have indicated their


15

willingness to represent, as proxyholders, the persons who appoint them. You are strongly encouraged to sign, date and return the form of proxy or voting instruction form in the envelope provided or to vote online or by telephone by following the instructions on your form of proxy or voting instruction form. By submitting a form of proxy or voting instruction form (or by voting online or by telephone) a Shareholder's Shares will be represented at the Meeting and its wishes on matters for decision at the Meeting will be made known to the Board of Directors and management of BGSI.

Each person who is a Shareholder is entitled to appoint a person or company (who need not be a Shareholder) other than the persons designated in the form of proxy to represent the Shareholder at the Meeting. That right may be exercised by:

a. Inserting an “Appointee Name” and designating an 8-character “Appointee Identification Number” online at www.proxyvote.com or in the spaces provided on your form of proxy or voting information form; and
b. If you have appointed someone other than yourself to access and vote at the Meeting on your behalf, informing your appointed proxyholder of the exact Appointee Name and 8-character Appointee Identification Number prior to the Meeting.

A form of proxy will not be valid for the Meeting or any adjournment thereof unless it is completed and delivered to Broadridge, c/o Data Processing Centre, P.O. Box 3700 STN Industrial Park, Markham, ON L3R 9Z9, or via Phone: 1-800-474-7493 (English) or 1-800-474-7501 (French), or by Internet voting at www.proxyvote.com, no later than 1:00 p.m. CT on May 12, 2026 or at least 24 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and Canadian statutory holidays) prior to any adjournment of the Meeting. Beneficial Owners should provide their voting instructions by the deadline provided by their intermediary, which is typically at least one day in advance of such date to enable the bank, trust company, securities broker, trustee or other financial institution holding Shares on their behalf to act upon them prior to the proxy deadline.

A Registered Shareholder who has given a proxy may revoke it by depositing with Broadridge c/o Data Processing Centre, P.O. Box 3700 STN Industrial Park, Markham, ON L3R 9Z9, or via Phone: 1-800-474-7493 (English) or 1-800-474-7501 (French), another form of proxy bearing a later date or a revocation of proxy, signed by the Shareholder, or an attorney of the Shareholder authorized in writing, prior to the close of business on the last business day prior to the Meeting or any adjournment thereof. A Shareholder will be bound by any vote that


16

may have been registered by a duly appointed proxy prior to any revocation of that proxy in the manner described above. Any votes cast by online ballot at the Meeting by registered Shareholders or duly appointed proxyholders will revoke any previously submitted proxy.

Beneficial Shareholders who have given voting instructions may revoke their instructions by providing new voting instructions, provided that such new voting instructions may not be effective unless they are provided sufficiently early that the bank, trust company, securities broker, trustee or other financial institution holding Shares on their behalf is able to act upon them prior to the proxy deadline. This typically requires providing your voting instructions at least 24 hours prior to the voting deadline.

Instructions received after the voting deadline may only be effective to revoke your previous voting instructions. BGSI reserves the right to waive the proxy deadline in whole or in part but is under no obligation to do so. You should not assume that the proxy deadline will be waived.

Voting of Proxies

On any ballot that may be called at the Meeting or any adjournment thereof, the form of proxy provides that the persons designated in the form of proxy by BGSI or otherwise by you will vote all Shares for or against, or will withhold from voting them in accordance with the instruction given with respect to each resolution expressly set out in the form of proxy. If instruction is not given with respect to any such matter, the person designated in the form of proxy by BGSI will vote FOR such matter.

The form of proxy confers discretionary authority upon the persons appointed therein with respect to amendments and variations to matters identified in the Notice of Annual Meeting and Information Circular and with respect to any other matters which may properly come before the Meeting. The Shares represented by the proxy will be voted on such matters, in the discretion of and in accordance with the best judgment of the person voting such Shares. As of the date of this Information Circular, management of BGSI knows of no matters to come before the Meeting other than the matters identified in the Notice of Annual Meeting and Information Circular. If any matters which are not now known should properly come before the Meeting, the persons designated in the proxy will vote on such matters in their discretion, in accordance with their best judgment.


17

Unless otherwise noted herein, a simple majority of the votes cast at the Meeting, whether by proxy or otherwise, will constitute approval of any matter submitted to a vote.

Record Date and Entitlement to Vote

BGSI will prepare, as at the close of business on March 24, 2026 (the "Record Date"), a list of the Registered Shareholders entitled to receive the Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders and Management Information Circular and the number of Shares held by each such Shareholder. A holder of Shares named in the list is entitled to vote the Shares shown opposite such Shareholder's name at the Meeting, except to the extent that such Shareholder has transferred the ownership of any Shares after March 24, 2026 and the transferee of those Shares establishes ownership of the Shares and demands, not later than 10 days before the Meeting, that the transferee's name be included in the list of Shareholders before the Meeting, in which case the transferee is entitled to vote such Shares at the Meeting or any adjournment thereof.

On March 24, 2026, 27,830,064 Shares of BGSI were issued and outstanding. Each Share entitles the holder thereof to one vote.

Quorum

A quorum for the Meeting requires at least two (2) Shareholders, one of whom shall be, or be representing, a Canadian, and holding or representing by proxy not less than 25% of all issued and outstanding Shares entitled to vote at such meeting.

Principal Holders of Shares

To the best of the knowledge of the Directors and executive officers of BGSI, no persons or corporations beneficially own, directly or indirectly, or exercise control or direction over, Shares carrying 10% or more of the voting rights attached to the Shares.


18

BUSINESS OF THE ANNUAL MEETING

Each of the matters to be voted on by Shareholders is subject to approval by a majority vote of Shareholders at the meeting.

NUMBER OF DIRECTORS

The Articles of Incorporation of BGSI ("Articles") provide for a minimum of three (3) Directors and a maximum of fifteen (15) Directors. It is proposed that the Board of Directors of BGSI be fixed at nine (9) Directors. The persons designated in the proxy form intend to vote FOR the approval of the resolution to fix the number of Directors at nine (9), unless instructed otherwise.

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

The Board of Directors currently consists of nine (9) Directors, with nine (9) standing for re-election. On March 17, 2026, the Board of Directors fixed by resolution the number of Directors to be nominated at nine (9).

The By-Laws of BGSI require that at least 25% of the Directors of BGSI be resident Canadians. Upon the nine Directors standing for election at the Meeting being elected, five (or 56%) would be resident Canadians within the meaning of the Canada Business Corporations Act (the "CBCA").

Directors can be reappointed or replaced every year as may be determined by a majority of votes cast at the Meeting of the Shareholders. Each Director elected at the Meeting shall hold office until the close of the next annual meeting of Shareholders or until a successor has been elected or appointed or until they otherwise cease to hold office in accordance with the Articles or By-Laws.

On August 31, 2022, amendments to the CBCA and the Canada Business Corporation Regulations, 2001 came into force which impact how directors of CBCA corporations with publicly traded securities are elected. As a result of these amendments directors are not considered elected unless they receive more votes for their election than against at an uncontested meeting. Consequently, on November 8, 2022 BGSI repealed its majority voting policy which was no longer necessary in light of the CBCA amendments.


19

The persons designated in the form of proxy, unless instructed otherwise, intend to vote FOR the nominees shown in the following tables.

The following table sets forth the result of the vote for the election of Directors of BGSI held at the 2025 annual meeting and special meeting of BGSI which was held as a virtual shareholders' meeting on May 14, 2025:

The following tables show the name and background of each nominee, including present principal occupation. Unless otherwise indicated, each nominee has been engaged for the past five years in the specified present principal occupations or in other executive capacities with the companies or firms referred to, or with affiliates or predecessors thereof. The tables also include the year in which each nominee first became a Trustee of Boyd Group Income Fund, BGSI's predecessor (the "Fund" or "BGIF") and a Director of BGSI. All Trustees of the Fund became Directors of BGSI on September 19, 2019. In addition, the tables show the number of Shares, director deferred share units, restricted share units and performance share units that each nominee beneficially owns, or exercises control or direction over, directly or indirectly, as at the date of this Information Circular. The information as to Shares owned beneficially, or over which the nominees exercise control or direction, has been furnished to BGSI by the nominees. The total value of each nominee's Shares, director deferred share units, restricted share units and performance share units is based on the closing price of the Shares of BGSI on the TSX as of the date of the Information Circular. Throughout this Circular, all amounts are in United States dollars unless otherwise indicated. All references to C$ are to Canadian dollars.

APPOINTMENT OF AUDITORS

It is proposed that Deloitte LLP, Chartered Professional Accountants, be appointed auditors of BGSI for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026 and thereafter until the close of the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of BGSI next following, at a remuneration to be determined by the Board of Directors. Deloitte LLP have been BGSI's auditors since 2020, and they were the Fund's auditors since its formation in December, 2002 until 2020, as well as the auditors of the Fund's predecessors, Cross Canada Collision Centres Limited Partnership, from its formation in 1990 until it transferred its assets to The Boyd Group Inc. effective January 1, 1998, and for The Boyd Group Inc., since January 1, 1998.

As part of BGSI's governance structure, the Audit Committee annually reviews and approves the terms of the external auditor's engagement. To further ensure the independence of the auditors is not compromised, the Audit Committee:

  • Pre-approves all engagements of the auditors for non-audit related services in accordance with its preapproval policy;
  • Requires the periodic rotation of the audit partner having primary responsibility for the audit and the engagement quality control partner as required by independence standards; and
  • Reviews the performance of the external auditors.

The Canadian Public Accountability Board and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board in the United States oversee audits performed by registered public accounting firms. This further ensures that audits performed by the external auditors are subject to third party review on a regular basis.

The Audit Committee evaluates the benefits and risks of having a long-tenured auditor and the controls and processes that ensure their independence, such as regular mandatory partner rotations. The Audit Committee oversees the selection and rotation of the lead audit engagement partner. A new lead audit engagement partner was appointed following the completion of our fiscal 2023 audit and since Deloitte LLP has served as our auditor there have been 5 lead audit engagement partner rotations. The Audit Committee believes there are benefits to having long-tenured auditors, including quality of work and efficiencies because of the auditors' institutional knowledge of our business, accounting policies and practices and internal controls. The Audit Committee therefore considers the benefits of maintaining Deloitte LLP as our auditors to exceed any potential audit quality risks resulting from their tenure. The Audit Committee will continue to reassess these benefits and risks every year as well as its approach and governance in this area.


30

For information regarding the Audit Committee, including its Charter, composition, relevant education and experience of its members, Audit Committee oversight, policies and procedures for the approval of non-audit services and Auditors' service fees, please refer to the "Audit Committee" section and to "Appendix A – Audit Committee Charter" of BGSI's Annual Information Form, for the year ended December 31, 2025, available under BGSI's profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.com and EDGAR at https://www.sec.gov, or by contacting the Secretary of BGSI.

The persons designated in the proxy form intend to vote FOR the appointment of Deloitte LLP, Chartered Professional Accountants, as auditors of BGSI, unless instructed otherwise.

The People, Culture and Compensation Committee of BGSI is responsible for assisting the Board of Directors in fulfilling its responsibilities relating to compensation of BGSI's Executive Officers and its Board of Directors. The People, Culture and Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors believe that Shareholders should have the opportunity to fully understand the objectives, philosophy and principles BGSI has used in its approach to executive compensation decisions and to have an advisory vote on BGSI's approach to executive compensation.

At the Meeting, Shareholders have the opportunity to vote "For" or "Against" BGSI's approach to executive compensation through the following advisory resolution:

RESOLVED THAT, on an advisory basis, and not to diminish the role and responsibilities of the Board of Directors, that the shareholders accept the approach to executive compensation disclosed in Boyd Group Services Inc.'s Information Circular relating to the 2026 annual meeting of shareholders.

As this is an advisory vote, the results will not be binding upon the Board of Directors. However, the Board of Directors and People, Culture and Compensation Committee will take the results of the vote into account, as appropriate, when considering future compensation policies, procedures and decisions and in determining whether there is a need to increase their engagement with Shareholders on compensation and related matters. BGSI will disclose the results of the Shareholder advisory vote as a part of its report on voting results for the Meeting.

The Board of Directors recommends that you vote FOR the resolution to accept BGSI's approach to executive compensation.

The persons designated in the proxy form intend to vote FOR the approval of the resolution to accept BGSI's approach to executive compensation, unless instructed otherwise.

The result of the vote on the advisory resolution on the approach to executive compensation held at the 2025 annual meeting and special meeting of BGSI which was held as a virtual shareholders' meeting on May 14, 2025 was 95.17% in favour.

MESSAGE FROM THE PEOPLE, CULTURE AND COMPENSATION COMMITTEE CHAIR

To our Shareholders,

The People, Culture and Compensation Committee provides oversight on the overall people strategy and progress against goals in areas such as talent acquisition and management, engagement, retention, culture, leadership development, and succession planning. The People, Culture and Compensation Committee believes that a broad focus on human capital is critical to success in the current environment and to position Boyd well for the future.

The People, Culture and Compensation Committee assists the Board in fulfilling its responsibilities relating to compensation of the Executive Management Team. In May 2025, the Company successfully executed a planned leadership transition with the appointment of Brian Kaner as Chief Executive Officer, following his tenure as President and Chief Operating Officer. Mr. Kaner's deep understanding of Boyd's operating model, culture and strategy facilitated a seamless leadership transition. This followed more than 20 years of dedicated service from Timothy O'Day, who concluded his tenure as Chief Executive Officer and moved into an advisory capacity for the remainder of the year.

The industry-wide headwinds experienced in 2024 persisted through the start of the 2025 performance year, as the North American collision industry continued to face significant pressure from declines in repairable claims volumes. However, a moderation of these headwinds, along with a return to positive same-store sales in the third quarter, signaled operational recovery. This turnaround was further strengthened by the Project 360 cost transformation plan, which helped drive meaningful increases in both gross margin and Adjusted EBITDA percentages. A strategic achievement of the 2025 performance year was the definitive agreement to acquire Joe Hudson's Collision Center, a milestone the Committee recognizes as foundational to positioning the Company for sustained long-term growth. Reflecting this alignment between strategic execution and pre-established targets, the Board and People, Culture and Compensation Committee did not use discretion in determining the compensation paid to the Named Executive Officers in 2025.

Boyd remains committed to addressing the labor market challenges through initiatives such as the Technician Development Program, and a focus on enhancing overall technician productivity while promoting a culture of accountability. With a team of more than 16,000 dedicated employees, the Company continues to focus on areas such as


talent attraction, retention and development. The People, Culture and Compensation Committee is aligned with these focus areas and is committed to providing appropriate levels of oversight and guidance to management in the execution of the overall people strategy.

Sincerely,

(signed)

Violet Konkle

People, Culture and Compensation Committee

All members of the People, Culture and Compensation Committee have compensation experience as a result of their extensive and varied board activities and through leading business enterprises.

People, Culture and Compensation Committee Responsibilities

The purpose and responsibility of the People, Culture and Compensation Committee is to assist the Board of Directors in carrying out its responsibilities relating to compensation of BGSI's Executive Officers (as hereinafter defined) and its Board of Directors.

Compensation Practices

The People, Culture and Compensation Committee maintains a number of key executive compensation governance practices that are consistent with best practices and align with shareholder interests. The following practices pertain to the Senior Executives, Executive Officers who are Named Executive Officers and certain other Executive Officers.

WHAT WE DO

☑ Pay for performance: In 2025, 75% of the target compensation for the President & CEO was at-risk pay, variable, contingent on performance and not guaranteed.


37

☑ Performance based vesting: In 2025, 50% of the long-term incentive vests based on absolute financial performance achieved against three-year targets and relative total shareholder return (“TSR”) results compared to peers over three years.

☑ Benchmarking: BGSI benchmarks executive compensation against a size and industry appropriate comparator group and targets compensation within a range around the median of the group; actual compensation outcomes (base salary and earned at-risk compensation) may be above or below median based on performance.

☑ Caps on incentive payouts: In 2025, the President & CEO’s short term incentive was designed to pay out at a maximum of 200% of target and the President & CEO’s PSU’s were designed to pay out at a maximum of 200% of target. Caps for other Executive Officers are below these maximums.

☑ Anti-hedging: Directors, executives and other employees are prohibited from hedging related to BGSI’s shares.

☑ Independent advice: The People, Culture and Compensation Committee receives compensation advice from an independent advisor.

☑ Modest benefits and perquisites: These are a small part of total compensation and are market competitive.

☑ Double trigger: The severance provisions in BGSI’s executive employment agreements and long term incentives have double triggers in the event of a change of control.

☑ Clawback policies: We maintain two clawback policies. Our executive clawback policy provides that the Named Executive Officers are required to reimburse BGSI for all or part of an overcompensation amount in the following events: (i) a restatement of the financial statements of BGSI where the incentive compensation received by an executive would have been lower had the financial results been correctly reported; and (ii) if the Board determines an executive has engaged in certain misconduct, including, without limitation, fraud or intentional and/or reckless non-compliance with applicable laws, rules or regulations, or BGSI’s Code of Business Conducts and Ethics. In accordance with NYSE listing standards, we also maintain a policy for the recoupment of incentive-based compensation received by current and former executives that was based on erroneously reported financial information in the event of certain accounting restatements.

☑ Share ownership policy for executives: For the 2025 performance year, the share ownership policy for executives specifies a share ownership requirement of 5X annual base salary for the President & CEO, 2X annual base salary for the Executive Vice President & CFO, and 1X for a number of other executives who lead certain areas of the business. Participants must fulfill their ownership requirement within five years of becoming subject to this policy. Please refer to the "Share Ownership Policy for Executives" section of this report for details of the revised guidelines that became effective on January 1, 2026.


38

WHAT WE DON'T DO

  • No repricing of stock options
  • No tax gross-ups
  • No value of equity awards included in pension calculations
  • No termination payments in excess of 2 times base salary and short term incentive
  • No single trigger change in control provisions

Independent Compensation Consultant

The People, Culture and Compensation Committee has engaged Meridian Compensation Partners ("Meridian") as its independent executive compensation consultant since 2014. The mandate of the executive compensation consultant is to serve BGSI and to work for the People, Culture and Compensation Committee in its review of executive and Director compensation, including advising on the competitiveness of pay levels, executive compensation design issues, market trends and technical considerations. The nature and scope of services provided by Meridian to the People, Culture and Compensation Committee in 2025 included, among other activities:

  • Review of incentive compensation structure;
  • Review of peer groups and benchmarking of competitive pay levels for Executive Officers;
  • Assistance with compensation matters related to the CEO transition;
  • Competitive assessment of director's compensation;
  • Ongoing support with regard to the latest relevant regulatory, technical and governance considerations impacting executive compensation; and
  • Preparation for, and attendance at, Committee meetings and selected management meetings.

The People, Culture and Compensation Committee does not direct Meridian to perform the above services in any particular manner or under any particular method. It approves all invoices for executive compensation work performed by Meridian. The People, Culture and Compensation Committee has the final authority to hire and terminate Meridian as its executive compensation consultant. Meridian has not provided any other services to BGSI, the Company or its subsidiaries, its Directors or members of management other than executive compensation services. The aggregate fees related to the executive and Director compensation services paid to the consultant for the past two years were:

Type of Work 2025^{24} 2024^{25}
Services related to executive and Director compensation $225,457 $113,268
All other fees
Total $225,457 $113,268

Compensation Benchmarks

In establishing compensation levels for Senior Executives, the People, Culture and Compensation Committee uses a variety of benchmarks from time to time and assesses the appropriateness of compensation in relation to the competitive marketplace. The market data was one factor for the determination of 2025 executive compensation. While market data is a useful tool to support decision making and oversight of compensation, it represents a descriptive point of reference rather than a prescriptive "right amount". The People, Culture and Compensation Committee interprets the information in the context of BGSI and its strategy, together with the executives' roles, experience and value to the organization.

BGSI's Senior Executives are responsible for managing an organization with significant revenue from U.S. operations, with few comparable Canadian companies. These are key criteria in defining the marketplace and peer companies used to establish competitive compensation levels for the Senior Executives. BGSI must look beyond Canadian companies and include U.S. companies in the peer group in order to capture a sufficient number of companies of comparable size and complexity, and for a viable pool for talent.

The peer group used to inform 2025 compensation decisions for Senior Executives and other Named Executive Officers identified in this information circular, was approved by the People, Culture and Compensation Committee. The peer group includes companies operating in a similar industry as well as those of a size appropriate range and scope to BGSI and its subsidiaries in terms of revenue, enterprise value and market cap. The peer group is comprised of the 22 North American based companies listed below and provides a robust sample to ensure that changes made by a single company do not unduly influence benchmark data. The peer group includes a selection of companies from other relevant industries, since there are few comparable automotive aftermarket companies.

24 Fees are invoiced and paid in CAD and have been translated to USD using the average exchange rate during 2025 of 0.7156. 2025 fees include fees paid to Meridian to review the special LTIP and supplemental grants introduced in 2025. See LTIP section for additional information on these awards.

25 Fees are invoiced and paid in CAD and have been translated to USD using the average exchange rate during 2024 of 0.7302.

Compensation Risk

The People, Culture and Compensation Committee takes into account risks associated with compensation and has not identified any matters that are likely to have a material adverse effect on BGSI's performance. Areas of potential excessive risk-taking such as larger acquisitions are specifically scrutinized and approved by the Board, thus mitigating any adverse consequences. The People, Culture and Compensation Committee assists the Board in its oversight role ensuring that the compensation program and awards are aligned with BGSI's risk management objectives, including its risk appetite. The People,


41

Culture and Compensation Committee is responsible for considering, establishing and reviewing executive compensation programs, and whether the programs encourage unnecessary or excessive risk taking. The People, Culture and Compensation Committee believes the programs are balanced and do not motivate unnecessary or excessive risk taking.

Below are some of the governance practices, policies and inherent design elements of BGSI's compensation program that help to manage and mitigate risk in executive compensation:

  • Caps on pay-outs and threshold performance levels for the short and long-term incentives to prevent excessive payouts and to act as a disincentive against excessive risk-taking.
  • Depending on the performance period, 50% to 70% of the long-term incentives are subject to performance vesting criteria that are tied to shareholder and corporate success as previously outlined – a relative total shareholder return measure and financial measures.
  • Annual grants of long-term incentives, vesting over a three year period, to mitigate the risk of behavior that would seek only to maximize a multi-year / one-time large award.
  • The long-term incentives are either settled with shares of BGSI or a cash payment based on the value of shares of BGSI.
  • The People, Culture and Compensation Committee is comprised of independent Directors.
  • The People, Culture and Compensation Committee engages an independent consultant who helps select the comparator groups for benchmarking purposes.
  • Well-articulated total compensation strategy with a well-balanced mix of fixed and variable pay elements.
  • Explicit competitive positioning objectives (and rigorous, deliberate processes for linking pay levels, competitive targeting and performance assessment of senior executives).
  • An Insider Trading Policy that prohibits the Directors, officers, executives and other senior managers from engaging in short selling or trading in puts, calls or options in respect of BGSI securities.
  • We maintain two clawback policies, one of which requires Named Executive Officers to reimburse BGSI in certain circumstances, including misconduct, and the second of which is consistent with NYSE listing standards.
  • The share ownership policy for executives specifies a share ownership requirement of 5X annual base salary for the President & CEO, 2X annual

42

base salary for the Executive Vice President & CFO, and 1X for a number of other executives who lead certain areas of the business. Participants must fulfill their ownership requirement within five years of becoming subject to this policy. Please refer to the "Share Ownership Policy for Executives" section of this report for details of the revised guidelines that became effective on January 1, 2026.

Executive Compensation

Named Executive Officers

For purposes of the compensation discussion and analysis the disclosure reflects the compensation and related plans for the following Named Executive Officers ("NEOs"):

  • Brian Kaner, President and Chief Executive Officer²⁶
  • Timothy O'Day, Advisor to the Chief Executive Officer and Former Chief Executive Officer²⁷
  • Jeff Murray, Executive Vice-President and Chief Financial Officer
  • Kim Morin, Chief Human Resources Officer
  • Creighton Warren, Chief Information Officer
  • Samantha Kallantzes, Senior Vice President, Operations

At December 31, 2025, all Named Executive Officers are part of the Executive Management Team, other than Timothy O'Day and Samantha Kallantzes.

Executive Summary

1. 2025 Financial Performance

  • The executive compensation program and compensation of the Named Executive Officers is tied to the performance of BGSI. During 2025, BGSI saw an improvement in several headwinds that had negatively impacted repairable claims, along with a return to positive same-store sales²⁸ in the third and fourth quarters. During 2025, BGSI achieved total sales of $3.14

²⁶ On May 14, 2025, Brian Kaner was appointed President and Chief Executive Officer. Prior to May 14, 2025, Brian Kaner served as President and Chief Operating Officer.
²⁷ Timothy O'Day transitioned from his role as Chief Executive Officer on May 14, 2025, moving into an advisory capacity for the remainder of the year.
²⁸ Same-store sales is not a calculation defined in International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). Management believes that in addition to sales, the supplemental measure of same-store sales is useful as it provides investors with an indication of sales that includes only those locations in operation for the full comparative period. Same-store sales is presented excluding the impact of foreign exchange on the current period. Same-store sales should not be construed as an alternative to sales determined in accordance with IFRS as an indicator of Boyd's performance. Boyd's method of calculating this measure may differ from other companies and, accordingly, may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. For a detailed explanation of how Boyd's non-GAAP measures are calculated from sales, please refer to the section titled "Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Ratios" in Boyd's MD&A filing (dated March 18, 2026) for the period ended December 31, 2025, which is incorporated by reference in this Circular. A copy of Boyd's MD&A filing (dated March 18, 2026) for the period ended December 31, 2025 can be accessed via the SEDAR+ web site (www.sedarplus.ca) and EDGAR (www.sec.gov).

billion, a 2.4% increase when compared to the $3.07 billion achieved in 2024. Adjusted EBITDA²⁹ was $376.3 million, an increase of $41.5 million or 12.4% from the prior year.

  1. Highlights of President & CEO’s 2025 Performance and Compensation
  2. The President & CEO’s Total Compensation as reported in the Summary Compensation Table for 2025 was $5,673,042 compared to $1,744,566 in 2024. A significant driver of the 2025 compensation is a one-time special LTIP grant approved to drive alignment with the Company's five-year strategy and support retention. Excluding this one-time grant, the 2025 compensation reflects Brian Kaner's mid-year promotion and compared to the $3,435,349 total compensation of the former CEO in 2024, is reflective of the Company's 2025 financial performance, characterized by enhanced margins and a year-over-year increase in Adjusted EBITDA.

  3. Legacy and Transition Performance of Former CEO

  4. The Former CEO's focus on operational stabilization and the successful launch of the Company's new long-term growth plan and Project 360 were instrumental in maintaining strategic momentum during a period of significant industry-wide headwinds.

  5. Key Compensation Actions for 2025

  6. Company Performance Metrics for Short Term Incentive Plan (“STIP”) and Long Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”): For 2025, Company performance in the STIP for the Executive Officers has been assessed based on four measures: (i) revenue growth with a weighting of 30%, (ii) EBITDA margin achievement with a weighting of 30% (iii) new unit count with a weighting of 20% and (iv) personal goal achievement with a weighting of 20%. The 2025 LTIP awards for the NEOs were structured as follows:
  7. Performance Share Units - 25% weighting based on achievement of ROIC targets of BGSI over a three-year performance period

²⁹ Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) is not a calculation defined in International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to net earnings in measuring the performance of BGSI, nor should it be used as an exclusive measure of cash flow. BGSI reports EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin because they are key measures that management uses to evaluate performance of the business and to reward its employees. EBITDA is also a concept utilized in measuring compliance with debt covenants. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are measures commonly reported and widely used by investors and lending institutions as an indicator of a company’s operating performance and ability to incur and service debt, and as a valuation metric. While EBITDA is used to assist in evaluating the operating performance and debt servicing ability of BGSI, investors are cautioned that EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin as reported by BGSI may not be comparable in all instances to EBITDA as reported by other companies. For a detailed explanation of how Boyd’s non-GAAP measures are calculated from net earnings, please refer to the section titled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Ratios” in Boyd’s MD&A filing (dated March 18, 2026) for the period ended December 31, 2025, which is incorporated by reference in this Circular. A copy of Boyd’s MD&A filing (dated March 18, 2026) for the period ended December 31, 2025 can be accessed via the SEDAR+ web site (www.sedarplus.ca) and EDGAR (www.sec.gov).

  • Performance Share Units - 25% weighting based on the Relative TSR Performance of Boyd over the three-year performance period as compared to the companies in the performance peer group
  • Restricted Share Units - 35% weighting that are paid on a 3-year proportional basis
  • Stock Option Grants - 15% weighting that vest over five years, 1/4 at each of the end of the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th anniversaries of the grant date. Stock options expire after 10 years.

The STIP and LTIP performance measures were selected for alignment with BGSI's strategy and long-term value creation for shareholders.

5. Employment Agreements

  • In 2025, Mr. O'Day entered into a retirement agreement with BGSI on the following terms:
  • Eligibility to earn short-term incentive compensation based on the performance of BGSI in 2025.
  • Termination of employment deemed a retirement for the purposes of grants under the LTIP and Stock Option Plan.
  • Base salary of $925,000 annualized during the CEO period commencing on March 31, 2025 and ending on May 14, 2025.
  • Base salary of $462,500 annualized while serving in a transitional advisory role commencing on May 15, 2025 and ending on December 31, 2025.
  • Non-competition and non-solicitation covenants for a period of 24 months from the date of termination of employment (December 31, 2025).

  • In 2025, Mr. Kaner entered into a new employment agreement with the company on the following terms:

  • Eligibility to be awarded long-term incentive compensation annually based on the performance of BGSI.
  • Eligibility to earn short-term incentive compensation based on the performance of BGSI and the achievement of personal goals.
  • Base salary at $800,000 in 2025.
  • Non-competition and non-solicitation covenants for a period of 24 months.
  • A severance period of 24 months for termination without cause.

45

  • An increased share ownership requirement, from 2 times annual base salary to 5 times annual base salary.

Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

The philosophy of the People, Culture and Compensation Committee and the determination of executive compensation is pay-for-performance balanced against the need to provide a total compensation package that will enable BGSI, The Boyd Group Inc. ("BGI") and its subsidiaries to attract and retain qualified and experienced executives. The objective is to motivate behaviors and drive outcomes that create shareholder value and are aligned with long-term business strategy without encouraging excessive risk-taking.

Furthermore, the components of the executive compensation program include a base salary, performance-based short term incentive bonus and long-term incentives. In setting compensation levels, the People, Culture and Compensation Committee considers BGSI's financial results, market and survey data, input from senior management (for all but the President & CEO), executive performance, succession planning and the overall business environment, among other factors.


46

Principal Elements of Executive Compensation

Base Salary Cash All Executive Officers Annual Executive salaries are set with consideration to the executive's performance and experience with reference to competitive market salaries.
Short Term Incentive Plan ("STIP") Cash Senior Executives and other Executive Officers with corporate support roles 1 Year The STIP provides for annual incentive payments to Eligible Employees conditional on the achievement of Company-wide performance.
Long-term Incentive Program ("LTIP") Performance Share Units ("PSU") (for the 2023, 2024 and 2025 grant years) Senior Executives and certain other Executive Officers 3 to 5 Year Term Award granted under the Plan is valued by reference to Shares of BGSI. A Unit granted under the Plan is therefore notionally denominated in Shares and payable in cash and/or Shares (Unit awards granted prior to 2025 will continue to be payable in cash). Unit awards are adjusted upwards or downwards to reflect actual performance based on a capital return metric, relative total shareholder return, and share price hurdle.
Restricted Share Units ("RSU") (for the 2023, 2024 and 2025 grant years) Senior Executives and certain other Executive Officers 3 Year Term Award granted under the Plan is valued by reference to Shares of BGSI. A Unit granted under the Plan is therefore notionally denominated in Shares and payable in cash and/or Shares (Unit awards granted prior to 2025 will continue to be payable in cash).
Stock Option Grants (for the 2023, 2024 and 2025 grant years) Senior Executives and certain other Executive Officers 10 Year Term Award granted under the Plan provides the Senior Executives and certain other Executive Officers with the option of purchasing Shares at a fixed exercise price. Options vest equally on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th anniversaries of the grant date and expire after 10 years.

Determining Executive Compensation

Compensation Targets

In setting compensation levels for Senior Executives, the People, Culture and Compensation Committee reviews salaries and total compensation for executives in similar positions, in similar businesses of a similar size. BGSI targets base salaries and total compensation around the median of the peer group. The charts below show the 2025 target mix for total direct compensation for the Senior Executives, and the amount of at-risk compensation. The Senior Executives' compensation is as set forth in the Summary Compensation Table and was approved by the People, Culture and Compensation Committee.


47

Target Compensation Mix for President and CEO³⁰

Base Salary

Individual salaries are set in relation to salary market comparisons and based upon the executive's experience and demonstrated or expected performance.

³⁰ Former CEO, Timothy O'Day, has been excluded for purposes of calculating the CEO pay mix.
³¹ Other NEOs include Jeff Murray, Kim Morin, Creighton Warren and Samantha Kallantzes.


48

Short Term Incentive Plan

The STIP provides for annual incentive payments to Senior Executives and other Executive Officers conditional primarily on the achievement of Company-wide performance. Company performance for the NEO's is assessed based on four measures: (i) revenue growth with a weighting of 30%, (ii) EBITDA margin achievement with a weighting of 30% (iii) new unit count with a weighting of 20% and (iv) personal goal achievement with a weighting of 20%. The performance measures were selected for alignment with BGSI's strategy and long-term value creation for Shareholders.

Senior Executives and certain other Executive Officers have a target incentive that is a percentage of salary. The level of payout is based on the following formula:

img-2.jpeg

No award is earned unless the threshold performance result is attained (i.e. zero payout for performance result below threshold), and payouts are capped when the maximum performance result is attained.

Annual payouts for participating NEOs are determined by reference to a target percentage of base salaries established by the People, Culture and Compensation Committee of the Board. The target payout percentages are:

Named Executive Officer Below Threshold (% Salary) Threshold (% Salary) Target (% Salary) Max (% Salary)
BRIAN KANER 0% 50% 100% 200%
TIMOTHY O'DAY 0% 50% 100% 200%
JEFF MURRAY 0% 40% 80% 120%
KIM MORIN 0% 35% 70% 105%
CREIGHTON WARREN 0% 35% 70% 105%
SAMANTHA KALLANTZES 0% 30% 60% 90%

49

The financial goals for 2025 and corresponding actual results achieved are as set out in the table below:

Company Performance Metric Metric Weighting Threshold Company Performance Goal Target Company Performance Goal Maximum Company Performance Goal Actual Result
Revenue growth 30% $218.0M $268.0M $318.0M $72.5M Below threshold
EBITDA margin achievement^{32} 30% 11.2% 12.0% 12.7% 12.0% Target
New unit count 20% 56 66 76 72 Above target and below maximum

Performance between threshold and target and between target and maximum results in a STIP payout percentage of salary that is determined on a straight-line or interpolated basis.

In assessing the individual performance of each NEO, the Committee considered performance in relation to defined personal performance goals established for 2025.

32 Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) is not a calculation defined in International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to net earnings in measuring the performance of BGSI, nor should it be used as an exclusive measure of cash flow. BGSI reports EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin because they are key measures that management uses to evaluate performance of the business and to reward its employees. EBITDA is also a concept utilized in measuring compliance with debt covenants. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are measures commonly reported and widely used by investors and lending institutions as an indicator of a company's operating performance and ability to incur and service debt, and as a valuation metric. While EBITDA is used to assist in evaluating the operating performance and debt servicing ability of BGSI, investors are cautioned that EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin as reported by BGSI may not be comparable in all instances to EBITDA as reported by other companies. For a detailed explanation of how Boyd's non-GAAP measures are calculated from net earnings, please refer to the section titled "Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Ratios" in Boyd's MD&A filing (dated March 18, 2026) for the period ended December 31, 2025, which is incorporated by reference in this Circular.

Long Term Incentives

BGSI has adopted the LTIP and the Stock Option Plan.

The Company's LTIP provides for flexibility to make the following types of grants to key employees employed both in and outside Canada:

  • Performance Cash Awards which represent the right to receive payments, conditional, in whole or in part, upon the achievement of one or more objective performance goals. A Performance Cash Award granted under the Plan is denominated and payable in cash.
  • Performance Share Units which represent the right to receive payments valued by reference to Shares of BGSI, conditional, in whole or in part, upon the achievement of one or more objective performance goals. A Performance Share Unit granted under the Plan is notionally denominated in Shares and payable in cash and/or Shares.

  • Restricted Share Units which represent the right to receive payments valued by reference to Shares of BGSI. A Restricted Share Unit granted under the Plan is notionally denominated in Shares and payable in cash and/or Shares.

The Company's Stock Option plan provides the flexibility to make the following grants to key employees employed both in and outside Canada:

  • Stock Option awards, which provide the option of purchasing Shares at a fixed exercise price. Options vest equally on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th anniversaries of the grant date and expire after 10 years.

The People, Culture and Compensation Committee set the 2023 target mix of the expected value of the long-term incentives at 60% Performance Share Units and 25% Restricted Share Units and 15% Stock Options. In 2023 RSU was reduced to 25% of expected value of LTI from 35% and vesting remained a 3 year proportional. The revision to the NEOs' target mix was adopted to further align their interests with the success of the Company and creation of shareholder value, consistent with the Company's compensation philosophy. The performance based grants for the NEOs cliff vest and will be paid out following the end of the three-year performance period, subject to the terms of the Plan, based on the following performance criteria:

  • 50% weighting based on achievement of ROIC targets of BGSI over a three-year performance period
  • 50% weighting based on the Relative TSR Performance of Boyd for the three-year performance period as compared to the companies in the performance peer group

The time based incentives are based on the following:

  • Restricted Share Unit generally vesting on a 3-year proportional basis
  • Stock Option Grants that vest over five years, 1/4 at each of the end of the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th anniversaries of the grant date. Stock Options expire after 10 years.

The People, Culture and Compensation Committee set the 2024 target mix of the expected value of the long-term incentives at 70% Performance Share Units and 15% Restricted Share Units and 15% Stock Options. In 2024 RSU was reduced to 15% of expected value of LTI from 25% for 2023 and vesting changed to a 3 year cliff, and PSU was increased from 60% for 2023 to 70% for 2024. The revision to the target mix was adopted to continue the transition to the pre-pandemic LTI plan structure which was more heavily weighted to performance based grants. The performance based grants for the

NEOs cliff vest and will be paid out following the end of the three-year performance period, subject to the terms of the Plan, based on the following performance criteria:

  • 50% weighting based on achievement of ROIC targets of BGSI over a three-year performance period
  • 50% weighting based on the Relative TSR Performance of Boyd for the three-year performance period as compared to the companies in the performance peer group

The time based incentives are based on the following:

  • Restricted Share Unit vesting on a 3-year cliff basis
  • Stock Option Grants that vest over five years, 1/4 at each of the end of the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th anniversaries of the grant date. Stock Options expire after 10 years.

The People, Culture and Compensation Committee set the 2025 target mix of the expected value of the long-term incentives at 50% Performance Share Units and 35% Restricted Share Units and 15% Stock Options. In 2025, RSUs rose to 35% of expected value of long-term incentives from 15% and vesting changed to 3 year proportional from 3 year cliff. The revision to target mix weighting was made to increase key management retention following the headwinds experienced by the North American collision industry during the previous year. The performance based grants for the NEOs cliff vest and will be paid out following the end of the three-year performance period, subject to the terms of the Plan, based on the following performance criteria:

  • 50% weighting based on achievement of ROIC targets of BGSI over a three-year performance period
  • 50% weighting based on the Relative TSR Performance of Boyd for the three-year performance period as compared to the companies in the performance peer group

The time based incentives are based on the following:

  • Restricted Share Unit generally vesting on a 3-year proportional basis
  • Stock Option Grants that vest over five years, 1/4 at each of the end of the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th anniversaries of the grant date. Stock Options expire after 10 years.

The performance measures were selected for alignment with BGSI's strategy and long-term value creation for shareholders.

The size of LTIP award, which is determined at the beginning of the year, is based on an executive's performance and the executive's future potential, in conjunction with competitive market compensation benchmark information.

In August of 2025, the People, Culture and Compensation Committee approved a special LTIP Grant to all eligible LTIP participants ("Special LTIP Grant"). The Special LTIP Grant is in addition to the annual March LTIP Grant, and was distributed to employees at the same % of base pay as the current LTIP eligibility allowed.

The purpose of the Special LTIP Grant is to engage and align key employees to the execution of our five year strategy and retain Boyd employees in the competitive talent market.

The chart below reflects the share prices that will need to be attained, the relevant performance period, and the resulting portion of the target shares that will be earned. To be considered attained, share price must be maintained for at least 20 consecutive trading days.

All awards will be settled in shares.

The performance peer group used for relative TSR comparisons includes companies operating in a similar industry as well as those of a size appropriate range and scope to BGSI and its subsidiaries in terms of revenue, enterprise value and market cap. The peer group is comprised of the 21 North American based companies listed below and provides a robust sample size for performance comparisons. The peer group includes a selection of companies from other relevant industries, since there are few comparable automotive aftermarket companies. The performance peer companies for the 2025 award are: Advance Auto Parts Inc., Asbury Automotive Group, Inc., AutoCanada Inc., AutoNation Inc., AutoZone Inc., CarMax, Inc., Driven Brands Holdings Inc., FirstService Corporation, Genuine Parts Company, Group 1 Automotive, Inc., Lithia Motors Inc., LKQ Corp, Monro Inc., Mister Car Wash Inc., America's Car-Mart Inc., O'Reilly Automotive Inc., Penske Automotive Group Inc., Rush Enterprises Inc., Sonic Automotive, Inc., Stantec Inc., and Valvoline Inc.

The performance multiplier for each measure depends on BGSI's performance against each target. The People, Culture and Compensation Committee reviews and approves the financial performance targets and recommends them to the Board for approval. Actual payouts for the financial measures vary from nil for below threshold performance levels, to target for target performance, or above target based on maximum performance levels.

The tables and information below show how BGSI assesses performance against each measure for the plan participants, including NEOs.

The assessments between the performance levels set out in the tables above are interpolated on a straight line basis.

For the three year performance period of 2023 to 2025, which vested on January 1, 2026, BGSI achieved a TSR result of 5.4%, resulting in relative TSR performance at the 38th percentile of peers and relative TSR Performance criteria between threshold and target, earning a payout of 76.2%. During the same three year period, BGSI achieved a ROIC between threshold and target of 18.1%, resulting in a payout of 71.7%.

Adjustment to ROIC Goals

The Board has the authority to amend performance measures and targets in relation to incentive programs and the related measurement of results in order to reflect business conditions, circumstances, and events not predicted when setting targets. During 2025, the Board did not exercise its authority to adjust the measures, targets or results of incentive programs. Following the acquisition of Joe Hudson's Collision Center on January 9, 2026, the Board approved a mid-cycle adjustment to the ROIC targets for the 2024 and 2025 PSU Awards. The acquisition significantly increased the Company's invested capital base; accordingly, the original targets no longer accurately reflected the combined entity's capital structure. The revised targets account for the initial dilutive impact of the transaction while remaining aligned with the long-term synergy realization and ROIC expansion goals communicated to shareholders.

Description of LTIP

On May 14, 2025, Shareholders approved the amendment and restatement of the Long-Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP").

The purpose of the LTIP is to (a) support the achievement of BGSI's performance objectives; (b) ensure that interests of key employees are aligned with the success of BGSI; (c) provide compensation opportunities to attract, retain and motivate senior

management critical to the long-term success of BGSI and its subsidiaries; and (d) mitigate excessive risk taking by BGSI's key employees.

The LTIP authorizes the People, Culture and Compensation Committee to administer the LTIP, subject to reporting to the Board on all matters relating to the LTIP and obtaining approval of the Board for those matters required by the People, Culture and Compensation Committee's mandate. The LTIP provides for flexibility to make the following types of grants to key employees employed both in and outside Canada:

  • Performance Cash Awards, which represent the right to receive payments, conditional, in whole or in part, upon the achievement of one or more objective performance goals. A Performance Cash Award granted under the LTIP is denominated and payable in cash.
  • Restricted Share Units, which represent the right to receive Shares or payments valued by reference to Shares. A Restricted Share Unit granted under the LTIP is notionally denominated in Shares and may be settled in Shares or payable in cash.
  • Performance Share Units, which represent the right to receive Shares or payments valued by reference to Shares, conditional, in whole or in part, upon the achievement of one or more objective performance goals. A Performance Share Unit granted under the LTIP is notionally denominated in Shares and may be settled in Shares or payable in cash.

In addition, under the LTIP:

  • Any employee or officer of BGSI and such of its Affiliates that are designated by the Board as a participating company is eligible to receive an award.
  • The maximum securities issuable under the LTIP is 250,000, representing 0.9% of the issued and outstanding securities of BGSI as at the date of this Information Circular.
  • The maximum number of Shares issued to Insiders within any one-year period, and issuable to Insiders at any time, under the LTIP or when combined with all of BGSI's other Security-Based Compensation Arrangements, shall not exceed 10% of the number of the aggregated issued and outstanding Shares.
  • Settlement of Performance Share Units and Restricted Shares Units shall be made by the issuance of one Share for each Share Unit then being settled, a cash payment equal to the Fair Market Value on the Vesting Date of the Share Units being settled in cash, or a combination of Shares and cash, all as determined by the Committee in its discretion, unless otherwise specified in the applicable Grant

Agreement, and subject to payment or other satisfaction of all related withholding obligations in accordance with the terms of the LTIP.

  • The amount payable in respect of all Vested Performance Cash Awards and Vested Share Units that are to be settled in cash shall be determined in accordance with the terms of the applicable Grant Agreement and subject to certain pre-defined formulas as set out in the LTIP.
  • The Vesting Date is set out in each individual Grant Agreement, or such earlier date as is provided for in the LTIP or is determined by the People, Culture and Compensation Committee. Except as otherwise specified in the applicable Grant Agreement, awards are generally subject to a three-year cliff vesting period. Vesting of performance-based awards are conditional on the satisfaction of Performance Conditions.
  • In the event of a Change of Control prior to the Vesting Date of awards granted under the LTIP, and subject to the terms of a Participant's written employment agreement with a Participating Company and the applicable Grant Agreement, the People, Culture and Compensation Committee shall have full authority to determine in its sole discretion the effect, if any, of a Change of Control on the vesting, settlement or payment or lapse of restrictions applicable to such awards.

If the participant does not remain continuously employed by BGSI through January 1st of the year immediately following the last day of the relevant Performance Period or through the Scheduled Vesting Date, as applicable, vesting is dependent on the nature of the termination of employment as follows:

  • Resignation – all rights, title and interest with respect to Performance Cash Awards, Performance Share Units, Restricted Share Units which have not vested are forfeited.
  • Termination for Just Cause – all rights, title and interest with respect to Performance

64

Cash Awards, Performance Share Units and Restricted Share Units which have not vested are forfeited.

  • Termination without Just Cause, Death or Disability Termination – the extent of vesting will be determined by management of BGSI based on pre-defined formulas.
  • Retirement – all Performance Cash Awards, Performance Share Units, Restricted Share Units will continue to vest in the ordinary course, subject to future performance. Retirement means the cessation of the employment which is deemed to be a retirement by a resolution of the People, Culture and Compensation Committee.

Subject to the restrictions noted below, and to regulatory and TSX approval, where required, the Board may amend the terms of the LTIP and any Grant without Shareholder approval, including in the following circumstances, provided that no such amendment may be made without the consent of a Participant if its adversely alters or impairs the rights of the Participant: (i) amendments of a "housekeeping" nature, (ii) a change to the Vesting provisions of any Grants, (iii) a change to the termination provisions of any Grant that does not entail an extension beyond the original term of the Grant, or (iv) amendments to the provisions relating to a Change of Control.

In accordance with the requirements of the TSX, the Plan may not be amended without Shareholder approval to do any of the following: (i) increase the maximum number of shares issuable pursuant to the LTIP, (ii) extend the maximum term of any Grant made under the LTIP, (iii) amend the assignment provisions under the LTIP, (iv) permit a non-employee director of BGSI to be eligible for Grants under the Plan, (v) increase the number of Shares that may be issued or issuable to Insiders above the restriction or deleting the restriction on the number of Shares that may be issued or issuable to Insiders, or (vi) amend the Amendment and Termination provisions of the LTIP.

On August 12, 2025, the LTIP was amended to permit the 2025 Special LTIP Grant. While the amendment did not require Shareholder approval, TSX approval was obtained.

As of December 31, 2025, there were 20,054 Restricted Share Units and 97,939 Performance Share Units outstanding under the LTIP, representing, in total, 0.4% of the issued and outstanding securities of BGSI. As of December 31, 2025 there were 132,007 Shares available for grant under the LTIP, representing 0.5% of the issued and outstanding securities of BGSI.

Option Based Awards

Certain Senior Executives have been provided long-term incentives through the grant of stock options as set out under 'Incentive Plan Awards'. These stock options have been granted under the stock option plan of BGSI (the "Stock Option Plan") which was approved by Shareholders at the Annual General and Special Meeting on May 12, 2021.

The purpose of the Stock Option Plan is to (a) support the achievement of BGSI's performance objectives; (b) ensure that interests of key persons are aligned with the long-term success of BGSI and the creation of value for its shareholders; and (c) provide compensation opportunities to attract, retain and motivate senior management critical to the long-term success of BGSI and its subsidiaries. The Stock Option Plan will authorize the Board and the People, Culture and Compensation Committee to issue stock options ("Options") to employees or officers of BGSI and such affiliates as are designated from time to time ("Eligible Persons"). The aggregate number of common shares that may be reserved for issuance on the exercise of Options under the Stock Option Plan, together with the common shares issuable under grants under all other securities-based compensation arrangements of BGSI, must not exceed 250,000 common shares. For greater clarity, to the extent that Options expire or are terminated or cancelled, BGSI may make a further grant of Options in replacement for such expired, terminated or cancelled Options, provided that the 250,000 maximum is not exceeded.

In addition, under the Stock Option Plan:

  • subject to the terms of the Stock Option Plan, the number of common shares subject to each Option, the exercise price of each Option, the expiration date of each Option, the extent to which each Option vests and is exercisable from time to time during the term of the Option and other terms and conditions relating to each Option will be determined by the People, Culture and Compensation Committee from time to time;
  • subject to any adjustments pursuant to the provisions of the Stock Option Plan, the exercise price of any Option shall be as determined and approved by the People, Culture and Compensation Committee, but under no circumstances will such price be lower than the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Stock Option Plan) of the common shares on the Grant Date (as defined in the Stock Option Plan);
  • the term of an Option shall be as determined and approved by the People, Culture and Compensation Committee in the Grant Agreement (as defined in the Stock Option Plan), subject to certain limited exceptions, including that if the expiration date for an Option occurs during or within ten (10) business days following, the end of the period of time during which the relevant person granted Options (an "Optionee") cannot exercise an Option due to applicable policies of BGSI in respect

66

of insider trading (a “Blackout Period”), then the expiration date for that Option shall be the date that is the tenth (10th) business day after the expiry date of the Blackout Period;

  • Options are personal to the grantee and are non-transferable and non-assignable, except in certain limited circumstances;
  • at any time, the maximum number of common shares which may be reserved for issuance pursuant to Options under the Stock Option Plan and all other security-based compensation arrangements to any one person shall be 5% of the common shares outstanding at the Grant Date;
  • the aggregate number of common shares issued to insiders within any 12 month period, or issuable to insiders at any time, under the Stock Option Plan and any other security based compensation arrangement of BGSI, may not exceed 10% of the total number of issued and outstanding common shares during such period of time; and
  • the maximum number of common shares which may be issued to insiders under the Stock Option Plan and all other security-based compensation arrangements within a 12-month period shall be 5% of the common shares outstanding at the Grant Date.

Under the Stock Option Plan, where an Optionee resigns from BGSI, the Optionee’s unvested Options shall immediately be forfeited and the Optionee’s vested options may be exercised until the earlier of 30 days after the date of resignation and the expiry date of the options. Where an Optionee is terminated by BGSI for cause, the Optionee’s unvested and vested options shall immediately be forfeited, except only as may be required to satisfy the minimum requirements of applicable employment or labour standards legislation. Where an Optionee is terminated by BGSI without cause, the Optionee’s unvested options shall immediately be forfeited, all vesting of such Optionee’s options shall cease on the date of termination, vested options will be exercisable until the earlier of 90 days immediately following termination or the expiry date, after which they are forfeited, and the Optionee shall forfeit all rights and have no entitlements with respect to any outstanding option that would vest, or become payable, exercisable or be settled after such date. Where an Optionee retires from BGSI, the Optionee’s unvested options will remain outstanding and continue to vest and become exercisable as if the Optionee had been actively employed by BGSI until the earlier of the expiry date of the options and the five (5) year anniversary of the Optionee’s retirement date. Where an Optionee is no longer an Eligible Person as a result of his or her death or disability, all unvested options held by such Optionee shall immediately vest as of the Optionee’s termination date and any unexercised options will be exercisable until the earlier of the expiry date of the options and the one (1) year anniversary of the Optionee’s termination date.


67

Options may be exercised in accordance with the specific terms of their grant and by the Optionee delivering an exercise notice and the exercise price to BGSI for all of the Options exercised.

The Stock Option Plan also provides that BGSI may withhold from amounts payable to an option holder, such amounts as may be necessary to enable BGSI to comply with applicable requirements of tax laws relating to the withholding of tax or other required deductions with respect to options.

The People, Culture and Compensation Committee may amend, suspend or terminate the Stock Option Plan or amend Options granted under the Stock Option Plan at any time without Shareholder approval; provided, however, that: (a) approval by a majority of the votes cast by Shareholders present and voting in person or by proxy at a meeting of Shareholders of BGSI must be obtained for any: (i) amendment for which, under the requirements of the TSX or any applicable law, shareholder approval is required; (ii) increase to the maximum number or percentage of securities issuable under the Stock Option Plan; (iii) reduction of the exercise price, or cancellation and reissuance of Options or other entitlements, of Options granted under the Stock Option Plan; (iv) extension of the term of Options beyond the original expiry date; (v) expansion of the categories of Eligible Person that would have the potential of broadening or increasing insider participation; (vi) provision of any financial assistance to an Optionee in connection with the exercise of an Option; (vii) allowance of Options granted under the Stock Option Plan to be transferable or assignable other than for estate settlement purposes; (viii) any amendment to provide for other types of security-based compensation involving the issue of equity; or (ix) amendment to the Stock Option Plan's amendment provisions; and (b) the consent of the Optionee is obtained for any amendment which alters or impairs any Option previously granted to an Optionee under the Stock Option Plan.

On November 11, 2025, the Stock Option Plan was amended to reflect the listing of Shares on the NYSE, which did not require Shareholder approval.

Notwithstanding the other provisions of the Stock Option Plan, if a Change of Control (as defined in the Stock Option Plan) occurs, any surviving, successor or acquiring entity of BGSI will assume any outstanding Options or will substitute similar options for the outstanding Options. If such entity does not assume the outstanding Options or substitute similar options for the outstanding Options, or if the People, Culture and Compensation Committee otherwise determines in its sole discretion, the People, Culture and Compensation Committee may: (a) give written notice to all option holders advising that, effective immediately prior to the Change of Control, all Options shall be deemed to be vested and may be exercised at such time and subject to such conditions as the People, Culture and Compensation Committee may specify; or (b) determine that, upon the


68

occurrence of a Change of Control, an option holder may surrender any vested or unvested Option outstanding immediately prior to the Change of Control in exchange for a payment with respect to each Option in (i) cash, (ii) shares of BGSI or of a corporation or other business entity that is a party to the Change in Control, or (iii) other property, subject to certain limitations.

As of December 31, 2025, there are 85,587 outstanding Options under the Stock Option Plan, which is less than 0.4% of the total outstanding common shares of BGSI. The number of available Options under the Stock Option Plan is 162,802, which is 0.6% of the total outstanding common shares of BGSI.


69

Termination of Employment

If the participant does not remain continuously employed by BGSI through January 1st of the year immediately following the last day of the relevant Performance Period or the scheduled Vesting Date, as applicable, vesting is dependent on the nature of the termination of employment as follows:

  • Resignation – all rights, title and interest with respect to Performance Cash Awards, Performance Share Units, Restricted Share Units and Stock Options which have not vested are forfeited.
  • Termination for Just Cause – all rights, title and interest with respect to Performance Cash Awards, Performance Share Units and Restricted Share Units which have not vested are forfeited. All rights, title and interest with respect to Stock Options are forfeited, whether vested or unvested.
  • Termination without Just Cause, Death or Disability Termination – the extent of vesting will be determined by management of BGSI based on pre-defined formulas.
  • Retirement – all Performance Cash Awards, Performance Share Units, Restricted Share Units and Stock Options will continue to vest in the ordinary course, subject to future performance. Retirement means the cessation of the employment which is deemed to be a retirement by a resolution of the People, Culture and Compensation Committee.

Executive Compensation Clawback Policy

BGSI maintains two clawback policies.

The first clawback policy applies to any incentive-based compensation, which refers to compensation relating to the achievement of performance goals or similar conditions, including the STIP and the LTIP, earned by the Named Executive Officers.

53 No awards that may be settled in shares were granted under the LTIP in 2023 or 2024. All previously awarded grants under the LTIP may only be settled in cash. The calculation of the 2025 annual burn rate includes PSUs at target.


71

The policy is triggered in the following circumstances: (i) upon restatement of the financial statements of BGSI where the incentive compensation received by an executive would have been lower had the financial results been correctly reported; and (ii) if the Board determines an executive has engaged certain misconduct, including, without limitation, fraud or intentional and/or reckless non-compliance with applicable laws, rules or regulations, or BGSI's Code of Business Conducts and Ethics.

The period of time during which BGSI is entitled to seek recovery of the overcompensation amount is three (3) years prior to the restatement date or three years from the date of the misconduct, whichever is applicable.

The second clawback policy was adopted in connection with BGSI's listing on the NYSE and in accordance with NYSE listing standards. The second policy provides for the recoupment of incentive-based compensation received by current and former executives that was based on erroneously reported financial information in the event of certain accounting restatements.

Anti-Hedging Policy

Pursuant to BGSI's Insider Trading Policy, BGSI executives and other insiders are prohibited from entering into short sales, put or call arrangements related to BGSI's shares.

Program Changes for 2026

Compensation Peer Group: For 2026, the compensation peer group will be adjusted. LKQ Corp, Hibbett Sports, Inc., H&E Equipment Services, Inc., and Big 5 Sporting Goods Corp will be removed. Advance Auto Parts, Inc., Modine Manufacturing Company and Mister Car Wash, Inc. will be added.

Performance Peer Group: For 2026, the performance peer group will not be adjusted.

Company Performance Metrics for STIP and LTIP: For the 2026 STIP, the Compensation Committee has evolved the plan's performance measures to prioritize operational excellence following the Joe Hudson's Collision Center acquisition. To align leadership with our current integration milestones, we have removed the new unit count metric and introduced a common strategic goal tied to savings. This new metric is designed to incentivize the rapid capture of synergies across the combined organization.


72

The core pillars of the plan remain consistent with the prior year: revenue growth and EBITDA margin percent continue to serve as the primary drivers of the STIP. The 2026 LTIP allocation will remain consistent with 2025, comprising 50% PSUs, 35% RSUs with 3 year proportional vesting, and 15% Stock Options.

2026 STIP awards have been designed as follows:

  • 40% weighting based on achievement of EBITDA margin percent of BGSI
  • 40% weighting based on BGSI revenue growth
  • 20% weighting based on a common strategic goal tied to savings

2026 LTIP awards have been designed as follows:

  • 25% weighting of PSUs based on achievement of ROIC targets of BGSI over a three-year performance period
  • 25% weighting of PSUs based on the Relative TSR Performance of Boyd over the three-year performance period as compared to the companies in the performance peer group
  • 35% weighting based on a Restricted Share Unit generally vesting on a 3-year proportional basis
  • 15% weighting based on Stock Option grants that vest over five years, 1/4 at each of the end of the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th anniversaries of the grant date. Stock Options expire after 10 years.

The STIP and LTIP performance measures were selected for alignment with BGSI's strategy and long-term value creation for shareholders.

Performance Graph

The following graph compares the cumulative total return of 0.96% on the Shares since January 1, 2021, with the cumulative total shareholder return of 110.84% in the S&P/TSX Composite index, assuming reinvestment of dividends/distributions, where applicable, for a comparable period.

Executive compensation is sensitive to performance. Salary adjustments and bonus arrangements consider the financial performance of BGSI.

Given the linkage between the various elements of performance and at-risk pay calculations, and the significant weighting of variable compensation mix, BGSI's executive compensation is designed to reflect the performance drivers that should lead to related changes in shareholder return.

All amounts stated are in U.S. Dollars

(1) Share-based awards reflects the grant date value of both the PSUs and RSUs awarded for 2023, 2024 and 2025. The grant date values were calculated using the ten-day weighted average price of BGSI's shares on the TSX on the day before the grant. The number of PSUs that the named executives will actually earn can vary depending on performance. The value of RSUs that the named executives will actually earn varies with the value of Boyd's shares on the TSX. Amounts reported for 2025 reflect: 1) the regular annual grants of PSUs and RSUs, and 2) a one-time Special LTIP Grant as outlined in the "Long Term Incentives" section of this report.

(2) 2023 option-based awards reflect the grant date fair value of stock options awarded using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and key assumptions determined by the compensation consultants as follows: dividend yield 0.27%, volatility 30.4%, risk-free rate 3.48%, expected life 5.5 years, exercise price C$211.26. 2024 option-based awards reflect the grant date fair value of stock options awarded using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and key assumptions determined by the compensation consultants as follows: dividend yield 0.193%, volatility 30.68%, risk-free rate 3.61%, expected life 5.5 years, exercise price C$310.67. 2025 option-based awards reflect the grant date fair value of stock options awarded using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and key assumptions determined by the compensation consultants as follows: dividend yield 0.259%, volatility 30.7%, risk-free rate 2.84%, expected life 5.5 years, exercise price C$236.49.

(3) Annual Incentive Plan awards are calculated at the end of a financial year and paid in the first or second quarter of the next financial year. Awards deferred as part of the U.S. deferred compensation plan are paid to the Trustee of the plan in the first quarter of the next financial year.

(4) Except as otherwise noted, the value of perquisites and benefits for each Named Executive Officer is less than the lesser of $50,000 and 10% of the total annual base compensation. During 2024, Timothy O'Day and Kim Morin received a deferred cash award valued using a weighted-average share price of C$193.85. Remaining other compensation for Tim O'Day is comprised of benefits and car allowances. Other compensation for Brian Kaner is comprised of benefits, housing, car and phone allowances.

(5) The CEO is also a Director of BGSI. Directors who are also employed by BGSI do not receive additional compensation for their duties as Directors. Brian Kaner was appointed President and Chief Executive Officer on May 14, 2025. He previously served as President and Chief Operating Officer from August 7, 2024, and as Executive Vice-President and Chief Operating Officer for the Boyd Group's collision business from October 28, 2022. His incentive compensation includes compensation received as an inducement to join BGSI and to compensate him for forfeited awards at his prior employer, consisting of: in 2023, a one time award of $500,000 in PSUs and a one time award of $280,000 in RSUs both with three year cliff vesting periods, as well as a one time award of $700,000 in Stock Options that vest over five years, 1/4 at each of the end of the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th anniversaries of the grant date. On August 7, 2024, Brian Kaner was appointed President and Chief Operating Officer of BGSI.

(6) Timothy O'Day transitioned from his role as Chief Executive Officer on May 14, 2025, moving into an advisory capacity for the remainder of the year.

(7) Jeff Murray served as Interim Chief Financial Officer beginning January 1, 2023. On July 12, 2023, Jeff Murray was appointed as Executive Vice-President and Chief Financial Officer. Prior to January 1, 2023, Jeff Murray served as Vice President, Finance at the Boyd Group.

(8) Creighton Warren was appointed Chief Information Officer effective June 19, 2023, and was granted a one time award of $115,000 in RSUs with a cliff vesting date of June 19, 2026.

Deferred Compensation Plans

Certain senior U.S. employees, including the President & CEO and the CHRO, are eligible to participate in BGSI's deferred compensation plan for U.S. employees. The plan is designed to permit certain employees the ability to have a portion of their compensation paid into the plan. The plan is a funded plan for which a trust was established so that the plan assets could be segregated, however, the assets are subject to the general creditors of The Boyd Group (U.S.), Inc. in the case of bankruptcy. The assets are comprised of investments purchased to coincide with the individual employee's investment preferences. The value of the assets and obligation vary with employee's contributions and changes in the value of the investments.

Employment Agreements

BGSI has entered into executive employment agreements with certain NEOs. In addition to compensation, the agreements set out the following key termination provisions.

61 On May 14, 2025, Brian Kaner was appointed President and Chief Executive Officer. Prior to May 14, 2025, Brian Kaner served as President and Chief Operating Officer (August 7, 2024 - May 14, 2025) and as Executive Vice-President and Chief Operating Officer for the Boyd Group's collision business (October 28, 2022 - August 7, 2024).

Termination and Change in Control Benefits

For certain Executive Officers, BGSI provides for pre-determined severance payments in cases of termination without cause, striving to provide appropriate payments that reflect the potential difficulty in obtaining comparable employment in a short period of time and provide for a complete separation between the terminated employee and BGSI. Similarly, the employment contracts for certain Executive Officers include payments in respect of termination of employment as a result of change in control provisions. However, no Executive Officer employment agreements have single trigger change in control provisions.

Estimated Incremental Payment on Change of Control or Termination

The following table provides details regarding the estimated incremental payments from BGSI to the NEOs under the above-described agreements in the event of termination without cause, assuming this scenario took place on December 31, 2025.⁶⁴ In the event of a change of control, the estimated incremental payments from BGSI to each of the NEOs is nil, assuming this scenario took place on December 31, 2025.

Share Ownership Policy for Executives

On March 21, 2017, BGSI's predecessor (Boyd Group Income Fund) adopted a Unit Ownership Policy for Executives, which outlined the minimum levels of unit ownership required for the CEO and the CEO's direct reports, including the Executive Vice President and CFO and President and COO. Effective January 1, 2020, the Board approved a share ownership policy for executives of BGSI. The policy specifies a share ownership

requirement of 5X annual base salary for the President & CEO, 2X annual base salary for the Executive Vice President & CFO, and 1X annual base salary for a number of other executives who lead a certain areas of the business. Under the 2020 policy, participants were required to fulfill these requirements within five years. It was designed to align the interests of those executives with the interests of the Shareholders and to promote commitment to sound corporate governance. To further strengthen this alignment and reflect the evolving size and complexity of the Company, the Board approved updated share ownership guidelines effective January 1, 2026. These new guidelines apply to all members of the Executive Management Team. The 2026 policy specifies a share ownership target of 5X annual base salary for the President & CEO, 3X for the COO, 3X annual base salary for the Executive Vice President & CFO, and 2X annual base salary for other Executive Management Team members. Until the target multiple is achieved, participants will be required to retain 50% of net shares upon vesting / exercise of BGSI long-term incentive awards, which can be waived by the Committee, in its sole discretion, in certain circumstances. To ensure a focus on long-term value, unvested Performance Share Units do not count toward meeting the guidelines, as these remain subject to performance contingencies.

Based upon the advice received from Meridian on the terms of the Share Ownership Policy, the Directors concluded that the policy is consistent with good market practice and sound corporate governance.

The following forms of equity are included in determining the ownership level for each executive:

  • Shares of BGSI, which are owned directly and indirectly by the executive and the executive's immediate family members residing in the same household;
  • Restricted Share Units issued and held (adjusted to reflect the value of the underlying Shares), whether vested or not, pursuant to the long-term incentive plans for executives of BGSI; and
  • Shares to be acquired upon vesting or settlement of Performance Share Units.

BGSI believes that, given the short and long term incentive programs in place for executives, there are sufficient mechanisms available to assist an executive to reach required ownership levels.

Directors, who are not officers of BGSI, are compensated for duties performed for, or on behalf of, the Board of Directors. The Board determines the level of compensation for Directors, based on recommendations from the People, Culture and Compensation Committee. The Board reviews Director compensation as needed, taking into account time commitment, risks and responsibilities to ensure that the amount of compensation adequately reflects the responsibilities and risks of being a Director and makes adjustments as deemed necessary. The Board also takes into consideration the Director compensation relative to the same peer group used for benchmarking executive compensation.

Annual independent Director compensation changed effective January 1, 2024, and for the period ended March 31, 2025 was as follows:

Directors are entitled to be reimbursed for reasonable travel expenses and other expenses incurred by them in attending meetings of the Board of Directors or meetings of committees thereof.

Director Ownership Requirements

For 2025, the Director ownership requirements have been defined as follows: The minimum shareholding requirement for all Directors will be 3.0 times the total annual retainer. The minimum shareholding requirement for the Board Chair will be 3.0 times the total annual retainer (inclusive of the additional Board Chair retainer). Committee Chair premiums shall not be included in the annual retainer calculations for the Directors. As at March 24, 2026, David Brown's shareholdings exceed the minimum shareholding requirement for the Board Chair. In determining value held by a Director, the value of Deferred Share Units shall be included (see 'Director Deferred Share Unit Plan' below). A Director shall have 5 years from the date of the appointment to the Board to meet the requirements. Similarly, should the retainer be increased, the Director shall have 5 years to meet the increased ownership requirement. Once the minimum ownership level is met by a Director, he or she shall not be required to increase his or her ownership due to a decline in the share price.

Director Deferred Share Unit Plan

The Board of BGI adopted a Directors Deferred Share Unit Plan on December 22, 2015, effective December 31, 2015. Effective January 1, 2020, BGSI assumed sponsorship of the director deferred share unit plan and it was amended to reflect the change in corporate structure from Boyd Group Income Fund to BGSI. The deferred share unit is now based on the value of the BGSI common shares. No other substantive changes to the plan were made as a result of the amendment. Certain features of the Directors Deferred Share Unit Plan are as follows:

  • All non-employee Directors participate in the Directors Deferred Share Unit Plan, the purpose of which is to attract, retain and motivate qualified and experienced individuals to serve as Directors and to align the interests between non-employee Directors of the Board and Shareholders. The Directors will receive a portion of their compensation in notional shares of BGSI.

  • The Directors Deferred Share Unit Plan allows Directors of BGSI to elect to receive up to 100% of their total Director compensation as an award of deferred share units. A minimum of 60% of total Director compensation will be awarded in deferred share units beginning January 1, 2016. The election for the additional amount to be deferred must be made by not later than the

last day of the calendar year preceding the year to which the payment relates.

  • The Director Deferred Share Unit Plan is administered by the People, Culture and Compensation Committee.
  • A deferred share unit is the right to receive cash payment based on the value of the common shares of BGSI by means of a bookkeeping entry to an account in the name of the Director.
  • Deferred share units are credited to the Director's account on the second payroll in the third month of each quarter (i.e. March, June, September, December), the number of which is determined by dividing the amount of the applicable portion of the Director's annual retainer by the fair market value of a BGSI common share on that date.
  • The number of deferred share units to which a participant is entitled will be adjusted for the payment of dividends or other cash distributions on the BGSI common shares in accordance with the Directors Deferred Share Unit Plan.
  • A deferred share unit entitles the holder to an amount in cash equal to the fair market value of a BGSI common share on the day elected by a Director who is not a citizen or resident of the United States that is between the date the Director ceases to hold any position with Boyd Group Services Inc. as a director, officer or employee ("Termination Date") of such Director and up to and including December 15 of the year following the year that includes the Director's Termination Date (the "Settlement Date") and in any case no later than December 31 of the year that includes the Settlement Date; provided that if such a Director fails to elect a Settlement Date, he or she shall be deemed to have elected the business day immediately prior to December 15 of the year following the year that includes the Director's Termination Date as his or her Settlement Date. For DSUs credited to a director who is a citizen or resident of the United States ("U.S. Director") account prior to January 1, 2020, the Settlement Date shall be one hundred twenty (120) days after the Termination Date, or where such day is not a business day, the next business day. For DSUs credited to a U.S. Director's account on or after January 1, 2020, the Settlement Date shall be such business day elected by the U.S. Director between the Termination Date of such U.S. Director and up to and including December 15 of the calendar year that includes the U.S. Director's Termination Date; provided that if such U.S. Director fails to elect a Settlement Date, he or she shall be deemed to have elected the business day immediately prior to December 15 of the year that includes the Termination Date as his or her Settlement Date. In the unlikely event that a U.S. Director is a "specified employee" under the United States Internal

84

Revenue Code of 1986 at the time of his or her separation from service, payment will occur on the date that is 185 days following the date of separation from service.

  • In the event of any subdivision, consolidation, reclassification, amalgamation, consolidation, merger or any other relevant changes, proportionate adjustments as are appropriate to reflect such a change will be made with respect to the number of deferred share units credited to the deferred share unit accounts.
  • Subject to applicable laws, a Director may designate in writing a person who is a dependent or relation of the Director as a beneficiary to receive any benefits that are payable upon the death of the Director.
  • The deferred share units will not be assignable by a Director.
