It is important to be connected to the internet at all times during the Meeting in order to vote when balloting commences. It is recommended that attendees use their latest internet browser and do not use Internet Explorer.

39T Non-Registered Shareholders

Only registered Shareholders or the persons they appoint as their proxies are permitted to vote at the Meeting. However, in many cases, shares beneficially owned by a holder who is not a registered Shareholder (a “39T Non-Registered Holder 39T”) are registered either: (i) in the name of an intermediary with whom the Non-Registered Holder deals in respect of the Common Shares such as, among others, banks, trust companies, securities 39Tdealers or brokers or trustees or administrators of self-administered RRSPs, RRIFs, RESPs, and similar plans (an “ Intermediary ”); or (ii) in the name of a clearing agency (such as The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited of which the Intermediary is a participant). In accordance with the requirements of National Instrument 54-101 of the Canadian Securities Administrators, the Corporation will distribute copies of the Notice of Meeting, form of proxy and this Circular to the clearing agencies and Intermediaries for onward distribution to Non-Registered Holders.

Intermediaries are then required to forward the materials to the appropriate Non-Registered Holders. Non-Registered Holders will be given, in substitution for the proxy otherwise contained in proxy-related material, a request for voting instruction (the “39T Voting Instructions Form 39T”) which, when properly completed and signed by the Non-Registered Holder and returned to the Intermediary, will constitute voting instructions which the Intermediary must follow.

The purpose of this procedure is to permit Non-Registered Holders to direct the voting of the Common Shares they beneficially own. Should a Non-Registered Holder who receives the voting instructions form wish to vote at the Meeting in person (or have another person attend and vote on behalf of the Non-Registered Holder), the Non-Registered Holder should so indicate in the place provided for that purpose in the Voting Instructions Form and a form of legal proxy will be sent to the Non-Registered Holder. In any event, Non-Registered Holder should carefully follow the instructions of their intermediary as set out in the Voting Instructions Form.

Non-Registered Shareholders who have received the Circular and related materials (collectively, the "Meeting Materials") from their Intermediary should, other than as set out herein, follow the directions of their Intermediary with respect to the procedure to be followed for voting at the Meeting. Generally, Non-Registered Shareholders will either:

  • (a) be provided with a form of proxy executed by the Intermediary but otherwise uncompleted. The Non-Registered Shareholder may complete the proxy and return it directly to such Intermediary; or

  • (b) be provided with a request for voting instructions. The Intermediary is required to send the Corporation an executed form of proxy completed in accordance with any voting instructions received by the Intermediary.

If you are a Non-Registered Shareholder, and the Corporation or its agent has sent these materials directly to you, your name and address and information about your holdings of securities have been obtained from your Intermediary in accordance with applicable securities regulatory requirements. By choosing to send the Documents to you directly, the Corporation (and not your Intermediary) has assumed responsibility for (i) delivering the Meeting Materials to you, and (ii) executing your proper voting instructions. Please return your voting instructions as specified in the request for voting instructions.
