In light of ongoing concerns regarding the spread of COVID-19, and to mitigate risks to the health and safety of our communities, shareholders, employees and other stakeholders, the Company strongly encourages shareholders not to attend the Meeting in person, but rather to vote in advance of the Meeting using the voting instruction form or the form of proxy mailed to them with the Meeting materials. Instructions for voting your Common Shares in advance of the Meeting are detailed in the accompanying information circular and proxy form. In the event that any shareholders attend the Meeting in person, the Company will strictly enforce any measures it deems advisable to ensure the health and safety of all attendees of the Meeting and employees of the Company, including, without limitation, by enforcing physical distancing, requiring the wearing of masks and the sanitization of hands on entry, and the recording of attendee information for contract-tracing purposes.
