In addition, the Transaction Resolution requires the majority approval of a “minority” of the Shareholders ( i.e. the number of Common Shares which excludes Common Shares beneficially owned or over which control or direction is exercised by a person whose votes may not be included in determining minority approval pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Securityholders in Special Transactions ) . Additional information relating to the Transaction Resolution and the proposed Going Private Transaction to which the approval of the Transaction Resolution is a pre-requisite is set forth in the Circular. A copy of the text of the Transaction Resolution is set out in Schedule “A” of the Circular.

The board of directors of the Company (the “ Board ”) has by resolution fixed the close of business on July 20, 2020 as the record date for the determination of those Shareholders (the “ Registered Shareholders ”) entitled to notice of and to vote at the Meeting, and any adjournment or postponement thereof.

Under Section 190 of the Canada Business Corporations Act (the “ CBCA ”), a Shareholder may dissent in the manner described in Schedule “C” and Schedule “D” in the accompanying Circular in respect of the PreConsolidation Amendment. If the Pre-Consolidation Amendment becomes effective, dissenting Shareholders who comply with procedures set forth in Section 190 of the CBCA will be entitled to be paid the fair value (as determined by an applicable court) for their Common Shares. Each Registered Shareholder who intends to exercise rights of dissent should carefully consider and comply with Section 190 of the CBCA, and should in advance of

the Meeting, consult a legal advisor. Failure to strictly comply with the requirements set forth in Section 190 of the CBCA may result in the loss or unavailability of any right of dissent. Persons who are beneficial owners of Common Shares registered in the name of a broker, custodian, nominee or other intermediary who wish to dissent should be aware that only the Registered Shareholders are entitled to dissent. Accordingly, if you are such a beneficial owner of Common Shares desiring to exercise your right of dissent, you must make arrangements for the Common Shares beneficially owned by you to be registered in your name prior to the time that the written objection to the PreConsolidation Amendment is required to be received by the Company or, alternatively, make arrangements for the Registered Shareholder of your Common Shares to dissent on your behalf.

It is desirable that as many Common Shares as possible be represented at the Meeting. If you do not expect to attend the Meeting, we urge you to ensure that your shares are represented at the Meeting by completing the enclosed instrument of proxy and returning it as soon as possible in the envelope provided for that purpose. All proxies, to be valid, must be received by Computershare Investor Services Inc., Proxy Department, 100 University Avenue, 9th Floor, Toronto, Ontario, M5J 2Y1, at least forty-eight (48) hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, before the Meeting or any adjournment thereof. Late proxies may be accepted or rejected by the Chairman of the Meeting in his discretion, and the Chairman is under no obligation to accept or reject any particular late proxy. Shareholders who are not Registered Shareholders but plan to attend the Meeting must follow the instructions set forth in the voting instruction form or proxy form sent to them. If you hold your Common Shares in a brokerage account, you are not a Registered Shareholder.
