NOTICE-AND-ACCESS

Notice is also hereby given that the Corporation has decided to use the notice-and-access method of delivery of meeting materials for the Meeting for beneficial owners of Common Shares (the “ Non-Registered Holders ”) and for registered Shareholders. The notice-and-access method of delivery of meeting materials allows the Corporation to deliver the meeting materials over the Internet in accordance with the notice-and-access rules adopted by the Canadian Securities Administrators under National Instrument 54-101 - Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer . Under the notice-and-access system, registered Shareholders will receive a form of proxy and Non-Registered Holders will receive a voting instruction form enabling them to vote at the Meeting. However, instead of a paper copy of this Notice, the Circular, the form of proxy, the annual financial statements and related management's discussion and analysis, where applicable, and other meeting materials (collectively the “ Meeting Materials ”), Shareholders will receive a notification with information on how they may access such materials electronically. The use of this alternative means of delivery is more environmentally friendly as it will help reduce paper use and will also reduce the cost of printing and mailing the Meeting Materials to Shareholders. Shareholders are reminded to view the Meeting Materials prior to voting. The Corporation will not be adopting stratification procedures in relation to the use of notice-and-access provisions.

Websites Where Meeting Materials Are Posted:

Meeting Materials can be viewed online under the Corporation’s profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com or at https://docs.tsxtrust.com/2140, the website for the Meeting Materials maintained by the Corporation’s transfer agent and registrar.
