corus.

To the holders of the Senior Notes, the Class A Voting Shares and the Class B Non-Voting Shares of Corus Entertainment Inc. ("Corus", the "Corporation", "we" or "us"):

Corus is facing a number of headwinds but has a plan to strengthen its financial foundation and pursue a brighter future. We are seeking your support for the plan. After an exhaustive evaluation of alternatives, the board of directors of Corus (the "Board") has determined that the plan described below represents the best viable option to secure Corus' future while preserving the most shareholder value. Under the plan, Corus seeks to reduce its total third-party debt and other liabilities by approximately $500 million, decrease initial annual cash interest payments by up to $40 million, and preserve the Corporation in its vital role as a leading independent Canadian broadcaster.

Please review the following information and vote your applicable proxy ahead of the applicable meetings to be held on Friday, January 30, 2026.

Capitalized terms that are not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the "Glossary of Terms" in the accompanying management information circular (the "Circular").

WHAT IS HAPPENING?

Corus' significant debt burden and the upcoming maturities in 2028 and 2030 of the Senior Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $750 million, as well as ongoing industry and regulatory challenges, have created an urgent need to address the Corporation's capital structure.

The Board has undertaken extensive efforts since early 2024 to address the Corporation's balance sheet and financial challenges. This includes conducting a comprehensive strategic review, with the assistance of leading financial and legal advisors, of viable financing, sale, or restructuring options available to the Corporation.

After careful consideration of all available options, the Board has determined that the proposed transactions described in the accompanying Circular (collectively, the "Recapitalization Transaction") represent the best path forward for Corus at this time.

EFFECT OF THE RECAPITALIZATION TRANSACTION

The Recapitalization Transaction is intended to:

  • reduce total third-party debt and other liabilities by approximately $500 million;
  • decrease initial annual cash interest payments by up to $40 million;
  • extend Corus' debt maturity by at least five years;
  • preserve Corus as an independent Canadian broadcaster; and
  • maintain as much value as possible for all stakeholders.

The Recapitalization Transaction is being implemented pursuant to a plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement") under Section 192 of the Canada Business Corporations Act (the "CBCA"). Details of the Arrangement are set forth in the plan of arrangement attached as Appendix E to the Circular (the "CBCA Plan"), and as further described in the Circular.


PROPOSED TRANSACTION HIGHLIGHTS

The Recapitalization Transaction contemplates the following key elements:

(a) Newco: A new corporation (“Newco”) will be incorporated under the CBCA with authorized capital including Variable Voting Shares (“VVS”) and Common Voting Shares (“CVS” and together with the VVS, the “New Shares”).

(b) Existing Share Exchange: All Class A Voting Shares and all Class B Non-Voting Shares (excluding those Shares held by the Supporting Shareholders which will be surrendered and cancelled without any payment) will be exchanged for New Shares on a 1:1 basis. These New Shares will represent, in aggregate, 1% of the issued and outstanding New Shares as of the date of closing of the Recapitalization Transaction (the “Effective Date”) on a non-diluted basis. The New Shares will be listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”).

(c) Senior Notes Exchange: The 5.000% senior unsecured notes issued by Corus due May 11, 2028 and the 6.000% senior unsecured notes issued by Corus due February 28, 2030 (collectively, the “Senior Notes”) will be settled and exchanged for: (i) cash equal to the accrued and unpaid interest in respect of the Senior Notes; (ii) New Shares; and (iii) $250 million principal amount of new second lien senior secured notes issued by Corus. These New Shares will represent, in aggregate, 99% of the issued and outstanding New Shares on the Effective Date on a non-diluted basis.

(d) Term Loan Facility Repayment and Exchange: Corus’ existing secured term loan facility of $301,098,032.83 in principal amount (the “Term Loan Facility”) will be settled and exchanged for: (i) cash equal to the accrued and unpaid interest in respect of the Term Loan Facility; (ii) cash equal to $1,098,032.83, plus the cash proceeds received by Corus pursuant to the Senior Noteholder Participation Option (as defined below) in repayment of principal amount outstanding; and (iii) new first lien senior secured notes in principal amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan Facility following the repayments contemplated in (ii) (which notes issued by Corus shall have an aggregate principal amount of $300 million, the “New First Lien Notes”).

(e) Senior Noteholder Participation Option: Holders of Senior Notes that vote in favour of the Arrangement will have an opportunity to subscribe for and fund their pro rata share of the New First Lien Notes prior to the Effective Date, provided that the aggregate participating senior noteholders’ subscription amount equals at least one percent (1%) of the New First Lien Notes (being $3 million) (the “Senior Noteholder Participation Option”).

(f) Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility: The existing senior secured revolving credit facility will be amended and restated into a new first lien secured revolving credit facility with a $125 million commitment (the “A&R Revolving Credit Facility”).

(g) Share Consolidation: All issued and outstanding New Shares will be consolidated on the basis of one (1) New Share for every 500 existing New Shares (the “Share Consolidation”).

(h) Warrant Issuance: Holders of New First Lien Notes will be issued warrants to acquire New Shares representing 10% of the issued and outstanding New Shares on a fully-diluted basis as at the Effective Date at an exercise price of $0.01 per New Share on a post-Share Consolidation basis. Corus will use best efforts to have the warrants listed on a recognized exchange in Canada following the Effective Date.

(i) Newco Board Composition: The board of directors of Newco (the “Newco Board”) will comprise five directors (which individuals are to be confirmed) and the current directors of Corus will resign on the Effective Date.


THE ALTERNATIVE

Without the Recapitalization Transaction, or in the event it is not completed on the terms and timeline currently contemplated, the Corporation will need to pursue alternative restructuring strategies, possibly under the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act (the "CCAA"). If a CCAA process is pursued, it is unlikely that there will be any recovery of any kind or amount available to the holders of Class A Voting Shares and Class B Non-Voting Shares of Corus, and the Class A Voting Shares and Class B Non-Voting Shares of Corus may be cancelled for no consideration. As such, the Board and management believe the Recapitalization Transaction provides the best available outcome for shareholders in the current circumstances.

BOARD RECOMMENDATION

After careful consideration and based on a number of factors, and after an extensive review of its alternatives with its legal and financial advisors, Corus' board of directors has determined that the Recapitalization Transaction is in the best interests of the Corporation and its stakeholders and unanimously recommends that the Senior Noteholders and Shareholders vote FOR the Recapitalization Transaction.

Your vote matters. Whether you own a large or small number of Senior Notes or Shares, your participation is important to achieving the required approval threshold.

STRONG SUPPORT

The Recapitalization Transaction has the support of Senior Noteholders holding, on an aggregate basis, more than 74% of the outstanding Senior Notes as of December 24, 2025.

In addition, holders of more than 86% of the outstanding Class A Voting Shares and more than 5% of the outstanding Class B Non-Voting Shares, including the Corporation's largest holder of Class A Voting Shares, the Shaw Family Living Trust ("SFLT") which indirectly holds more than 80% of the Class A Voting Shares, have entered into a voting support agreement in respect of the Recapitalization Transaction as of December 24, 2025.

PLEASE VOTE TODAY

The Senior Noteholders' Meeting will be held at 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on Friday, January 30, 2026. The Shareholders' Meeting will be held at 11:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on Friday, January 30, 2026. Similar to normal course shareholder meetings, Corus will leverage technology and hold these meetings (the "Meetings") in a virtual-only format, which will be conducted via live webcast.

Pursuant to the Interim Order and subject to any further order of the Court, the Arrangement must be approved by Senior Noteholders and Shareholders as follows:

(a) the Senior Noteholders' Arrangement Resolution must be passed by at least two-thirds (66⅔%) of the votes cast by the Senior Noteholders, voting as a single class, present in person or represented by proxy at the Senior Noteholders' Meeting and entitled to vote on the Senior Noteholders' Arrangement Resolution.

(b) the Shareholders' Arrangement Resolution must be passed by:

(i) at least two-thirds (66⅔%) of the votes cast by the holders of Class A Voting Shares and two-thirds (66⅔%) of the votes cast by the holders of Class B Non-Voting Shares, each voting separately as a class, in each case, present in person or represented by proxy at the Shareholders' Meeting and entitled to vote on the Shareholders' Arrangement Resolution; and

(ii) a majority (50% + 1) of the votes cast by the holders of Class A Voting Shares in accordance with the requirements of the Toronto Stock Exchange.


The Corporation may, pursuant to the Interim Order, seek Court approval of the Arrangement even if the Shareholders' Arrangement Resolution is not passed.

The attached Circular includes important information about the Meetings and how to vote. Please take some time to read the document and remember to vote.

REASONS TO VOTE IN FAVOUR OF THE RECAPITALIZATION TRANSACTION

The Recapitalization Transaction represents the best viable option available to Corus that provides a long-term solution to the Corporation's financial challenges presented by its significant indebtedness incurred by its existing secured credit facility and the Senior Notes. Management of Corus and the Board believe that it is extremely important that the Recapitalization Transaction be approved and implemented in order to improve the Corporation's capital structure and balance sheet position, support Corus' implementation of its strategy, and best promote and preserve value for Corus' various stakeholders. As such, the Board urges you to support the Recapitalization Transaction by voting your proxy ahead of the applicable Meetings to be held on Friday, January 30, 2026.

The deadline for the deposit of proxies in respect of both the Senior Noteholders' Meeting and the Shareholders' Meeting is 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on January 28, 2026, or, if the applicable Meeting is adjourned or postponed, not less than 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) before the time and date of the adjourned or postponed Meeting.

Securityholders should vote in favour of the Recapitalization Transaction for the following key reasons:

(a) Material Reduction of Debt and Extension of Maturity: The Recapitalization Transaction will reduce Corus' total third-party debt and other liabilities by approximately $500 million and extend the maturity dates for repayment by at least five years.

(b) Decrease in Interest Payments: As a result of the Recapitalization Transaction, Corus will reduce its initial annual cash interest payments by up to $40 million.

(c) Shareholder Recovery: Except to the extent that such equity interests are extinguished in connection with the Share Consolidation, Shareholders (other than Supporting Shareholders) will retain an indirect interest in the business of Corus in the form of New Shares representing approximately 1% of the issued and outstanding shares in the capital of Newco, as compared to having no realistic prospect of recovery if the Corporation were to pursue a restructuring under the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act (Canada) ("CCAA").

(d) Securityholder Support: As of December 24, 2025, the Recapitalization Transaction has received the support of Senior Noteholders representing, in aggregate, more than 74% of the aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes and by Shareholders holding Shares which represent more than 86% of the outstanding voting rights attached to the Class A Voting Shares and more than 5% of the outstanding voting rights attached to the Class B Non-Voting Shares.

(e) Maintenance of Public Listing: Shareholders will continue to benefit from holding shares in a public company as the New Shares will be listed on the TSX.

(f) Status Quo for Employees, Suppliers and Customers: Corus' obligations to employees, suppliers and customers will not be impacted by the Recapitalization Transaction and will continue to be satisfied by the Corporation in the ordinary course.

(g) Fairness Opinion: A fairness opinion from FTI Capital Advisors, LLC concluded that as of December 23, 2025 and subject to the qualifications set out therein, (1) the Senior Noteholders and the holders of Class A Voting Shares and Class B Non-Voting Shares would be in a better position, from a financial point of view, under the Recapitalization Transaction than if the Corporation was liquidated, and (2) the Recapitalization Transaction, if implemented, is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Corporation.

(h) Strengthened Financial Foundation: The Corporation's realigned capital structure will provide it with a stronger financial foundation to foster the long-term success of Corus as a leading Canadian media company and Canada's largest independent broadcaster creating and delivering important,

-iv-


best-in-class local and national news, and highly popular Canadian and foreign content to audiences across Canada.

(i) Limited Alternatives: The Corporation sought alternative transactions but no viable alternative transactions that provide a better outcome for Corus were identified. In addition, pursuant to the Support Agreement, in the event that it is determined by the Corporation and the Majority Initial Supporting Noteholders that the Recapitalization Transaction should not be implemented pursuant to the CBCA Plan under the CBCA for any reason, then the parties will consider and negotiate in good faith and, if practicable, consummate the Recapitalization Transaction by way of an alternative implementation method or proceeding, which may include proceedings under the CCAA, as determined by the Corporation and the Majority Initial Supporting Noteholders. If a CCAA process is pursued, it is unlikely that there will be any recovery of any kind or amount available to the Shareholders, and the Shares may be cancelled for no consideration.

How do I determine what type of Senior Noteholder I am?

There are several steps you must take in order to vote your Senior Notes at the Senior Noteholders’ Meeting. For the purpose of voting at the Senior Noteholders’ Meeting, you must first determine what type of Senior Noteholder you are: (i) a registered Senior Noteholder; or (ii) a non-registered Senior Noteholder.

  • Registered Senior Noteholder: You are a registered Senior Noteholder if your Senior Notes are registered or held in your personal name or if you are in possession of a certificate that indicates the same. The Senior Notes have been issued in the form of uncertificated global notes registered in the name of CDS & Co. (a nominee of CDS) and as such, CDS & Co. is currently the sole registered Senior Noteholder.
  • Non-Registered Senior Noteholder: All Senior Noteholders (other than CDS) are non-registered Senior Noteholders and hold their Senior Notes indirectly through their applicable Intermediary.

How do I vote my Senior Notes?

You should carefully read and consider the information contained in this Circular. Non-registered Senior Noteholders can vote in accordance with the instructions indicated on the voting instruction form (the “VIF”) provided by their Intermediary and are encouraged to contact their Intermediary for further instructions and assistance.

The Corporation may utilize Broadridge’s QuickVote™ system to assist eligible Senior Noteholders with voting over the telephone. See “Voting”.

How do I elect to participate in the Senior Noteholder Participation Option?

Each Senior Noteholder will receive a New First Lien Notes Participation Form in the Senior Noteholder Meeting Package. Senior Noteholders will have the option, prior to the Effective Date, to subscribe for New First Lien Notes by participating in the Senior Noteholders’ Participation Option by (and subject to): (a) voting in favour of the CBCA Plan and not withdrawing or modifying such vote; (b) returning a duly completed and executed New First Lien Notes Participation Form to Corus by the Participation Deadline; and (c) funding the cash amount equal to its Subscription Amount in escrow with the Escrow Agent by the Funding Deadline, in each case, pursuant to the terms set out in the CBCA Plan. Corus shall also provide the Term Loan Lenders with notice of the Aggregate Participating Senior Noteholders’ Subscription Amount at least two (2) Business Days prior to the anticipated Effective Date.

Senior Noteholders intending to exercise the Senior Noteholder Participation Option should carefully review and follow the instructions contained in the New First Lien Notes Participation Form. See “Description of the Recapitalization Transaction – Procedures – Eligibility and Procedures for Senior Noteholder Participation Option”.

How do I determine what type of Shareholder I am?

There are several steps you must take in order to vote your Shares at the Shareholders’ Meeting. For the purpose of voting at the Shareholders’ Meeting, you must first determine what type of Shareholder you are: (i) a registered Shareholder; or (ii) a non-registered Shareholder.

  • Registered Shareholder: You are a registered Shareholder if your Shares are registered or held in your personal name or if you are in possession of a share certificate that indicates the same.
  • Non-Registered Shareholder: A majority of Shareholders are non-registered Shareholders. You are a non-registered Shareholder if your Shares are: (i) deposited with a bank, a trust, a brokerage firm or other type of institution, and such Shares have been transferred out of your name; or (ii) held either: (a) in the name of the Intermediary that you deal with; or (b) in the name of a clearing agency (such as CDS) with which your Intermediary deals.

Follow the steps set out under “How do I vote my Shares?” below once you have determined your Shareholder category.

Who is soliciting my proxy?

Management of Corus and the Board are soliciting proxies for use at the Meetings. Proxies will be solicited by mail and may also be solicited personally or by telephone, e-mail or other electronic means by the Proxy Solicitation Agent, and by the directors, officers and/or employees of Corus. Directors and officers of Corus involved in the solicitation of proxies will not be specifically remunerated therefor.

Corus has retained Laurel Hill Advisory Group as the Proxy Solicitation Agent to solicit proxies from Securityholders and provide other related services in connection with the implementation of the Recapitalization Transaction and has agreed to pay the Proxy Solicitation Agent a fee of $60,000 for proxy solicitation services plus certain additional fees for other services provided.

The persons named in the accompanying forms of proxy and VIF are directors and/or officers of the Corporation and will represent management of the Corporation at the applicable Meeting. See “Solicitation of Proxies”.

Can I appoint someone other than these individuals to vote my Shares or Senior Notes?

Senior Noteholders

Each non-registered Senior Noteholder has the right to appoint a person other than the individuals listed in the VIF to represent them at the Senior Noteholders’ Meeting (including non-registered Senior Noteholders who wish to appoint themselves as proxyholder to participate and vote at the Senior Noteholders’ Meeting). In order to appoint such other person, a non-registered Senior Noteholder must submit their applicable VIF appointing such third-party proxyholder and carefully follow any other instructions provided by their Intermediary. See “Voting” and “Senior Noteholder Proxies”.

Shareholders

Each Shareholder has the right to appoint a person, other than the persons designated by management in the forms of proxy or VIF, as applicable, to represent such party at the Shareholders’ Meeting. A Shareholder who wishes to appoint another person (who need not be a Shareholder) to represent the Shareholder at the Shareholders’ Meeting should follow the instructions on their form of proxy or VIF, as applicable, and are encouraged to appoint such other person online at www.proxyvote.com by no later than 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on January 28, 2026 (or such earlier deadline as the Shareholder’s Intermediary may require) as this will reduce the risk of any mail disruptions and will allow the Shareholder to share the necessary information with their appointed proxyholder more easily. To provide the appointed proxyholder access to the virtual Shareholders’ Meeting, a Shareholder must create a unique eight-character “Appointee Identification Number” and specify the “Appointee Name” in the spaces provided in the


form of proxy or VIF, as applicable, or online at www.proxyvote.com. The Shareholder must then provide the proxyholder with the unique eight-character Appointee Identification Number along with the specified Appointee Name to allow the proxyholder access to the virtual Shareholders' Meeting. If an eight-character Appointee Identification Number is not created by the Shareholder, the appointed proxyholder will not be able to access the virtual Shareholders' Meeting.

When is the cut-off time for delivery of proxies?

All Securityholders are requested to vote in accordance with the instructions provided on the appropriate proxy or VIF, as applicable, using one of the available methods. In order to be effective, the form of proxy or VIF in respect of (i) the Senior Noteholders' Meeting must be received prior to 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on January 28, 2026 (or such earlier deadline as the Senior Noteholder's Intermediary may require) and (ii) the Shareholders' Meeting must be received, prior to 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on January 28, 2026 (or such earlier deadline as the Shareholder's Intermediary may require) or, in each case, if the applicable Meeting is adjourned or postponed, not less than 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) before the time and date of the adjourned or postponed Meeting. The deadline for the deposit of proxies may be waived by the chairman of the applicable Meeting at his or her sole discretion without notice. See "Voting".

If I change my mind, can I take back my proxy once I have given it?

Subject to the Support Agreement, Senior Noteholders are entitled to revoke their proxies. See "Revocation of Proxies" for details on how Senior Noteholders can revoke their proxy.

Subject to the Support Agreement or Shareholder Support Agreement, as applicable, registered Shareholders are entitled to revoke their proxies in accordance with section 148(4) of the CBCA provided that any instruments in writing delivered pursuant to section 148(4)(a)(i) of the CBCA (a) may be deposited at the registered office of Corus or with Broadridge Investor Communications Corporation ("Broadridge"); and (b) any such instruments must be received by Corus or Broadridge not later than the business day immediately preceding the Shareholders' Meeting (or any adjournment or postponement thereof).

Subject to the Support Agreement or Shareholder Support Agreement, as applicable, non-registered Shareholders may revoke their proxy or voting instructions by contacting their Intermediary.

How many Shareholders and Senior Noteholders are required in order to reach a quorum at the respective Meetings?

Pursuant to the Interim Order and subject to any further order of the Court:

(a) quorum for the Senior Noteholders' Meeting has been set at two or more persons entitled to vote at the Senior Noteholders' Meeting present in person or represented by proxy; and
(b) notwithstanding the Corporation's by-laws, quorum for the Shareholders' Meeting has been set, in respect of each of the Class A Voting Shares and the Class B Non-Voting Shares, at two or more persons entitled to vote at the Shareholders' Meeting, each present in person or represented by proxy.

(b) All Class A Voting Shares and all Class B Non-Voting Shares (excluding those Shares held by the Supporting Shareholders which will be surrendered and cancelled without any payment) will be exchanged for New Shares on a 1:1 basis. These New Shares will represent, in aggregate, 1% of the issued and outstanding New Shares as of the date of closing of the Recapitalization Transaction (the "Effective Date") on a non-diluted basis. The New Shares will be listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX");

(c) The 5.000% senior unsecured notes issued by Corus due May 11, 2028 and the 6.000% senior unsecured notes issued by Corus due February 28, 2030 (collectively, the "Senior Notes") will be settled and exchanged for: (i) cash equal to the accrued and unpaid interest in respect of the Senior Notes; (ii) New Shares; and (iii) $250 million principal amount of new second lien senior secured notes issued by Corus. These New Shares will represent, in aggregate, 99% of the issued and outstanding New Shares on the Effective Date on a non-diluted basis.

(d) Corus' existing secured term loan facility of $301,098,032.83 in principal amount (the "Term Loan Facility") will be settled and exchanged for: (i) cash equal to the accrued and unpaid interest in respect of the Term Loan Facility; (ii) cash equal to $1,098,032.83, plus the cash proceeds received by Corus pursuant to the Senior Noteholder Participation Option (as defined below) in repayment of principal amount outstanding; and (iii) new first lien senior secured notes in principal amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan Facility following the repayments contemplated in (ii) (which notes issued by Corus shall have an aggregate principal amount of $300 million, the "New First Lien Notes");

(e) Holders of Senior Notes that vote in favour of the Arrangement will have an opportunity to subscribe for and fund their pro rata share of the New First Lien Notes prior to the Effective Date, provided that the aggregate participating senior noteholders' subscription amount equals at least one percent (1%) of the New First Lien Notes (being $3 million) (the "Senior Noteholder Participation Option");

(f) The existing senior secured revolving credit facility will be amended and restated into a new first lien secured revolving credit facility with a $125 million commitment (the "A&R Revolving Credit Facility");

(g) All issued and outstanding New Shares will be consolidated on the basis of one (1) New Share for every 500 existing New Shares (the "Share Consolidation");

(h) Holders of New First Lien Notes will be issued warrants to acquire New Shares representing 10% of the issued and outstanding New Shares on a fully-diluted basis as at the Effective Date at an exercise price of $0.01 per New Share on a post-Share Consolidation basis and Corus will use best efforts to have such warrants listed on a recognized exchange in Canada following the Effective Date; and

(i) The board of directors of Newco (the "Newco Board") will comprise five directors (which individuals are to be confirmed) and the current directors of Corus will resign on the Effective Date.

Further details respecting the CBCA Plan are set forth under the heading "Description of the Recapitalization Transaction" in this Circular.

Has Corus received a fairness opinion in connection with the Recapitalization Transaction?

FTI Capital Advisors – Canada ULC, the Canadian subsidiary of FTI Capital Advisors, LLC ("FTI"), was engaged by the Corporation for the provision of an opinion by FTI with respect to the Recapitalization Transaction.

The Fairness Opinion concluded that, as of December 23, 2025 and subject to the assumptions, limitations, and qualifications and scope of review set out in the Fairness Opinion, (1) the Senior Noteholders and the holders of Class A Voting Shares and Class B Non-Voting Shares would be in a better position, from a financial point of view, under


the Recapitalization Transaction than if the Corporation was liquidated, and (2) the Recapitalization Transaction, if implemented, is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Corporation.

The full text of the Fairness Opinion is attached as Appendix F to this Circular. The Fairness Opinion describes the scope of the review undertaken by FTI, the assumptions made by FTI, the limitations on the use of the Fairness Opinion, and the basis of FTI's fairness analysis. See "Background to and Reasons for the Recapitalization Transaction - Fairness Opinion".

What are the voting recommendations of the Board?

The Board carefully considered the strategic alternatives and has based its recommendation on a number of relevant factors, including legal and financial advice from external advisors, consideration of the feedback and results from the strategic review, and the support of the Supporting Noteholders and Supporting Shareholders for the Recapitalization Transaction. The Board has determined that the Recapitalization Transaction is in the best interests of the Corporation and its stakeholders and unanimously recommends that Senior Noteholders and Shareholders vote in favour of the Recapitalization Transaction.

See "Background to and Reasons for the Recapitalization Transaction - Recommendation of the Board of Directors" and "Background and Reasons for the Recapitalization Transaction - Reasons" for details on the reasons for the Board's recommendations.

How will proxies be voted?

The Securities represented by any valid proxy or VIF will be voted for, against or withheld from voting, as the case may be, in accordance with the specific instructions given on such valid proxy or VIF, as applicable. If no voting instructions are given, then your proxyholder may vote your Securities as they see fit. If you appoint the proxyholders named on the form of proxy or VIF, who are representatives of Corus, and do not specify how they should vote your Securities, then your Securities will be voted FOR each of the matters referred to in the form of proxy or VIF, as applicable.

The form of proxy or VIF confers discretionary authority upon the persons named therein with respect to amendments or variations to matters identified in the applicable Notices of Meeting and with respect to other matters which may properly come before the applicable Meeting. At the date of this Circular, management of Corus knows of no such amendments, variations or other matters other than the matters referred to in the Notices of Meeting. If any such amendment, variation or other matter, which is not now known, should properly come before a Meeting, then the persons named in the form of proxy or VIF, who are representatives of Corus, will vote on such matters in accordance with their best judgment with respect to the applicable Securities represented by such proxy. See "Voting of Proxies".

What votes are required at the Meetings to approve the resolutions?

Subject to any further order of the Court:

(a) the Senior Noteholders' Arrangement Resolution must be passed by at least two-thirds (66⅔%) of the votes cast by the Senior Noteholders, voting as a single class, present in person or represented by proxy at the Senior Noteholders' Meeting and entitled to vote on the Senior Noteholders' Arrangement Resolution. The Recapitalization Transaction has the support of Senior Noteholders holding, on an aggregate basis, more than 74% of the outstanding Senior Notes as of December 24, 2025.

(b) the Shareholders' Arrangement Resolution must be passed by:

(i) at least two-thirds (66⅔%) of the votes cast by the holders of Class A Voting Shares and two-thirds (66⅔%) of the votes cast by the holders of Class B Non-Voting Shares, voting separately as a class, in each case, present in person or represented by proxy at the Shareholders' Meeting and entitled to vote on the Shareholders' Arrangement Resolution; and

-xii-


(ii) a majority (50% + 1) of the votes cast by the holders of Class A Voting Shares in accordance with the requirements of the TSX.

The Recapitalization Transaction has the support of Shareholders holding, on an aggregate basis, more than 86% of the outstanding Class A Voting Shares and more than 5% of the outstanding Class B Non-Voting Shares as of December 24, 2025.

The Corporation may, pursuant to the Interim Order, seek Court approval of the Arrangement in the event that the Shareholders’ Arrangement Resolution is not passed.

See “Quorum and Voting Requirements”.

In addition to the approvals of the Senior Noteholders and Shareholders, are there any other approvals required for the Arrangement?

Yes, the Arrangement requires approval by the Court and is subject to the approval of the TSX and certain other regulatory bodies. See “Description of the Recapitalization Transaction – Court Approval of the Arrangement,” “Conditions Precedent to the Implementation of the Recapitalization Transaction” and “Certain Regulatory and Other Matters Relating to the Recapitalization Transaction”.

Will there be any changes to the Arrangement and CBCA Plan to be voted upon at the Meetings?

Pursuant to the terms of the Interim Order, and subject to the Support Agreement, Corus is authorized to make such amendments, modifications or supplements to the Arrangement and the CBCA Plan as it may determine.

The Arrangement and the CBCA Plan so amended, modified or supplemented shall be deemed to be the Arrangement and the CBCA Plan submitted to the Securityholders at the Meetings, and shall be deemed to be the subject of the Arrangement Resolutions in respect of the Arrangement and the CBCA Plan. The persons named on the proxy or VIF, as applicable, will have discretionary authority with respect to any amendments or variations to matters identified in the Notices of Meeting and with respect to other matters which may properly come before the applicable Meeting.

If any such amendments, modifications or supplements to the Arrangement and the CBCA Plan prior to the Meetings would be reasonably expected to affect a Securityholder’s decision to vote for or against the applicable Arrangement Resolution, notice of such amendment, modification or supplement will be distributed prior to the relevant Meeting by press release, newspaper advertisement, e-mail or by the method most reasonably practicable in the circumstances.

Amendments, modifications or supplements to the Arrangement and the CBCA Plan may be made following the Meetings but are subject to the terms of the Support Agreement and the CBCA Plan and, if appropriate, further direction by the Court at the hearing for the Final Order.

As at the date of this Circular, management of Corus is not aware of any amendment, variation or other matter expected to come before the Meetings. If any other matters properly come before the Meetings, the persons named on the form of proxy or VIF will vote on them in accordance with their best judgment. See “Changes to the Arrangement”.

How will I know when the Arrangement will be implemented?

The Arrangement will be completed upon satisfaction or waiver of all of the conditions to the Arrangement, including Shareholder and Senior Noteholder approvals, approval of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) and receipt of the Required Regulatory Approvals. At that time, Corus will publicly announce that the conditions are satisfied or waived and that the Arrangement has been implemented. The outside date for completion of the Arrangement under the Support Agreement is March 31, 2026, subject to extension to no later than June 30, 2026 in certain circumstances.

How will Securityholders receive the New Second Lien Notes and New Shares to which they are entitled?

Registered Shareholders

The Letter of Transmittal for registered Shareholders accompanies this Circular. If the Arrangement is completed, registered Shareholders must properly complete, execute and return the Letter of Transmittal, together with the certificate(s), if any, representing their Shares and any other relevant documents required by the instructions set out in the Letter of Transmittal, to the Transfer Agent at one of the offices specified in the Letter of Transmittal, which documents must actually be received by the Transfer Agent in order to deliver New Shares. See “Description of the Recapitalization Transaction – Procedures – Registered Shareholders”.

Non-Registered Shareholders

Shareholders who hold their interests in Shares through CDS via an Intermediary will receive their New Shares through the facilities of CDS. Delivery of New Shares will be made through the facilities of CDS to Intermediaries who are CDS Participants, as applicable, who in turn will deliver New Shares to the non-registered holders thereof pursuant to standing instructions and customary practices. Non-registered Shareholders should contact their Intermediary for instructions and assistance in providing details of registration and delivery of New Shares. See “Description of the Recapitalization Transaction – Procedures – Non-Registered Shareholders”.

Senior Noteholders

The Senior Notes are held by CDS (or its nominee) (as sole registered holder of the Senior Notes on behalf of the Senior Noteholders). On the Effective Date, CDS shall surrender, or cause the surrender of, the uncertificated Senior Notes to the 2028 Notes Indenture Trustee and 2030 Notes Indenture Trustee, as applicable, in exchange for the consideration payable to the Senior Noteholders pursuant to the CBCA Plan. Delivery of the New Second Lien Notes and New Shares will be made through the facilities of CDS to Intermediaries who are CDS Participants, as applicable, who in turn will deliver the New Second Lien Notes and New Shares to the non-registered holders thereof pursuant to standing instructions and customary practices. Non-registered Senior Noteholders should contact their Intermediary for instructions and assistance in providing details of registration and delivery of the New Second Lien Notes and New Shares. See “Description of the Recapitalization Transaction – Procedures – Surrender and Cancellation of Senior Notes”.

Senior Noteholder Participation Option

Senior Noteholders have the option, prior to the Effective Date, to subscribe for New First Lien Notes by participating in the Senior Noteholders’ Participation Option by (and subject to): (a) voting in favour of the CBCA Plan and not withdrawing or modifying such vote; (b) returning a duly completed and executed New First Lien Notes Participation Form to Corus by the Participation Deadline; and (c) funding the cash amount equal to its Subscription Amount in escrow with the Escrow Agent by the Funding Deadline, in each case, pursuant to the terms set out in the CBCA Plan. Corus shall also provide the Term Loan Lenders with notice of the Aggregate Participating Senior Noteholders’ Subscription Amount at least two (2) Business Days prior to the anticipated Effective Date.

Submission of a New First Lien Notes Participation Form in accordance with the terms thereof and the CBCA Plan, will constitute an irrevocable election by the applicable Senior Noteholder to subscribe for New First Lien Notes and commitment by the Senior Noteholder to participate in the Senior Noteholders’ Participation Option and fund the cash amount equal to its Subscription Amount. See “Description of the Recapitalization Transaction – Procedures – Eligibility and Procedures for Senior Noteholder Participation Option”.

Are there risks I should consider when deciding how to vote? Can the Corporation implement an alternative process?

Securityholders should review and carefully consider the risk factors concerning the Recapitalization Transaction, non-implementation of the Recapitalization Transaction, the business of Corus and the New Shares to be received in the Arrangement, as well as tax risks. These risk factors are discussed in this Circular under “Risk Factors” and/or in certain sections of documents that have been filed by the Corporation under the Corporation’s profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca, which sections are incorporated by reference in this Circular.

If the Recapitalization Transaction is not implemented pursuant to the CBCA Plan, the Corporation may effect the Recapitalization Transaction by way of an alternative implementation method or proceeding, including by way of an Alternative Implementation Process. In the event the Recapitalization Transaction is not successful, the value available to stakeholders may be significantly less and there is a risk that any proceeds available for distribution to stakeholders will be paid in priority to the Secured Lenders and the holders of Senior Notes, with the remaining proceeds, if any, paid to the Shareholders. See “Support Agreement – Alternative Implementation Process”.

Additional information about these factors and about the material assumptions underlying any forward-looking information may be found in the “Risk Factors” section of this Circular, under the heading “Risks and Uncertainties” in the 2025 MD&A and the heading “Risk Factors” in the 2025 AIF, each as defined below and as may be amended or supplemented, including but not limited to by any quarterly financial statements and related management’s discussion and analysis.

Alternative Implementation Process

The Recapitalization Transaction and the Arrangement are being implemented in part pursuant to the CBCA Plan. Pursuant to the Support Agreement, in the event that it is determined by the Corporation and the Majority Initial Supporting Noteholders that the Recapitalization Transaction shall not be implemented under the CBCA for any reason, then such parties will consider and negotiate in good faith and, if practicable, consummate the Recapitalization Transaction by way of an alternative implementation method or proceeding, which may include proceedings under the CCAA. In the event the Recapitalization Transaction is not successful, the value available to stakeholders may be significantly less and there is a risk that any proceeds available for distribution to stakeholders will be paid in priority to the Secured Lenders and the holders of Senior Notes, with the remaining proceeds, if any, paid to the Shareholders. See "Support Agreement".

In the event that the Corporation proceeds to implement the Recapitalization Transaction by way of an Alternative Transaction, it is unlikely that there will be any recovery of any kind or amount available to the holders of Class A Voting Shares and Class B Non-Voting Shares of Corus, and the Class A Voting Shares and Class B Non-Voting Shares of Corus may be cancelled for no consideration.

NOTICE TO SECURITYHOLDERS IN THE UNITED STATES

THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE IN CONNECTION WITH THE RECAPITALIZATION TRANSACTION HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE U.S. SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR SECURITIES REGULATORY AUTHORITIES IN ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES, NOR HAS THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR ANY SUCH STATE REGULATORY AUTHORITY PASSED UPON THE ADEQUACY OR ACCURACY OF THIS CIRCULAR. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

The New Notes, New Shares, and Warrants to be issued pursuant to the Recapitalization Transaction have not been and will not be registered under the 1933 Act. The New Notes, New Shares, and Warrants are being issued in reliance on the exemption from registration pursuant to Section 3(a)(10) of the 1933 Act (and similar exemptions under applicable state securities laws) on the basis of the approval of the Court. Before issuing the Final Order, the Court will consider, among other things, the fairness of the Arrangement to the persons affected. Section 3(a)(10) of the 1933 Act exempts from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act securities issued in exchange for one or more bona fide outstanding securities, claims or property interests, or partly in such exchange and partly for cash, where the terms and conditions of the issuance and exchange are approved by a court of competent jurisdiction that is expressly authorized by law to grant such approval, after a hearing upon the fairness of such terms and conditions of such issuance and exchange at which all persons to whom the securities will be issued in such exchange have the right to appear and receive timely notice thereof. The Court will conduct a hearing to determine the fairness of the terms and conditions of the Arrangement, including the proposed issuance of New Notes, New Shares, and Warrants, as applicable, under the CBCA Plan to Senior Noteholders and Shareholders in exchange for the outstanding securities held by them. The Court issued and entered the Interim Order on December 17, 2025 and, subject to, among other things, approval of the Recapitalization Transaction by the Senior Noteholders and Shareholders, a hearing on the fairness of the CBCA Plan will be held by the Court, the current outside date for which is February 13, 2026 under the Support Agreement; provided that, pursuant to the Interim Order, the Applicants may seek Court approval of the CBCA Plan whether or not the Arrangement is approved by Shareholders at the Shareholders' Meeting.

All Senior Noteholders and Shareholders are entitled to appear and be heard at the hearing for the Final Order on the terms set out in the Interim Order. The Final Order will constitute the basis for the exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act provided by Section 3(a)(10) thereof with respect to the New Notes, New Shares, and Warrants to be issued pursuant to the CBCA Plan. Prior to the hearing on the Final Order, the Court will be informed of this effect of the Final Order. See "Description of the Recapitalization Transaction - Court Approval of the Arrangement" and "Certain Regulatory and Other Matters Relating to the Recapitalization Transaction" included herein.

The solicitation of proxies hereby is not subject to the proxy requirements of Section 14(a) of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act. This Circular has been prepared in accordance with the applicable disclosure requirements in Canada. Accordingly, the solicitation and transactions contemplated in this Circular are made in the United States for securities of a Canadian issuer in accordance with Canadian corporate laws and Canadian Securities Laws, and this Circular has been prepared solely in accordance with the disclosure requirements of Canada. Senior Noteholders and Shareholders in the United States should be aware that these requirements may be different from those under U.S. corporate and securities laws applicable to U.S. companies.

Financial statements included or incorporated by reference herein have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, which differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") in certain material respects, and thus may not be comparable to financial statements and information of U.S. companies prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. See "Reporting Currencies and Accounting Principles".

Senior Noteholders and Shareholders should be aware that the exchange of their securities pursuant to the Recapitalization Transaction may have tax consequences both in Canada and the United States. Such U.S. tax consequences have not been described herein. Senior Noteholders and Shareholders in the United States should consult their respective tax advisors to assess the potential impact to them under applicable U.S. and Canadian tax laws of the Recapitalization Transaction and the issuance to them of New Notes, New Shares or Warrants, as applicable.

The enforcement by investors of civil liabilities under U.S. Securities Laws may be affected adversely by the fact that Corus is, and Newco will be, incorporated outside the United States and some or all of the officers and directors of Corus, Newco and the experts named herein are or will be residents of a country other than the United States, and that all or a substantial portion of the assets of Corus, Newco and said persons are or will be located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult or impossible for holders of Corus' or Newco's securities in the United States to effect service of process within the United States upon Corus, Newco, their subsidiaries and their officers and directors and the experts named herein, or to realize against them upon judgments of U.S. courts predicated upon civil liabilities under U.S. Securities Laws or "blue sky" laws of any state within the United States. In addition, holders of Corus' or Newco's securities in the United States should not assume that the courts of Canada or any other non-U.S. jurisdiction: (i) would enforce judgments of U.S. courts obtained in actions against such persons predicated upon civil liabilities under U.S. Securities Laws or "blue sky" laws of any state within the United States; or (ii) would enforce, in original actions, liabilities against such persons predicated upon civil liabilities under the federal securities laws of the United States or "blue sky" laws of any state within the United States.

REPORTING CURRENCIES AND ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

Except where otherwise indicated, all dollar amounts set forth in this Circular are in Canadian dollars, the presentation currency used by the Corporation in reporting its financial results.

Corus reports its interim financial results under International Accounting Standard 34 – Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") in Canadian dollars. Per share amounts are calculated using the weighted average number of shares for the applicable period. The financial statements incorporated by reference in this Circular have been prepared in accordance with IFRS.

IFRS differs in certain material respects from U.S. GAAP and, as such, the Corporation's financial statements and the financial information derived therefrom may not be comparable to the financial statements and financial information of U.S. companies prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Readers should consult their own professional advisors for an understanding of the differences between IFRS and U.S. GAAP, and of how those differences might affect the financial information incorporated by reference or presented herein.

PRESENTATION OF CERTAIN NON-IFRS FINANCIAL MEASURES

This Circular and the documents incorporated by reference herein contain references to certain measures that do not have a standardized meaning under IFRS as prescribed by the International Accounting Standards Board and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Rather, these measures are provided as additional information to complement IFRS measures by providing a further understanding of operations from management's perspective. Accordingly, non-IFRS or non-Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") measures should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of financial information

  • xxi -

reported under IFRS. The Corporation presents non-IFRS or non-GAAP measures, specifically, segment profit (loss), segment profit margin, adjusted segment profit, adjusted net income (loss) attributable to shareholders, adjusted basic earnings (loss) per share, free cash flow, net debt and net debt to segment profit, proforma net debt to segment profit, as well as supplementary financial measures such as new platform revenue.

The Corporation believes these non-IFRS or non-GAAP and supplementary financial measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties as measures of financial performance and to provide supplemental measures of operating performance and thus highlight trends that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS financial measures. A reconciliation of the Corporation’s non-IFRS or non-GAAP measures is included in the “Key Performance Indicators and Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section of the 2025 MD&A.

received prior to 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on January 28, 2026 (the "Senior Noteholder Proxy Submission Deadline").

Voting Information

The Senior Notes have been issued in the form of uncertificated global notes registered in the name of CDS & Co. (a nominee of CDS (as defined in the Circular)) and as such, CDS & Co. is the sole registered Senior Noteholder. Only registered Senior Noteholders, or their duly appointed proxyholders, have the right to provide a proxy for the Senior Noteholders' Meeting. The Corporation expects that CDS & Co. will provide an omnibus proxy which authorizes one or more intermediaries (such as a bank, trust company, securities dealer or broker, or trustee or other intermediary) who are participants in the CDS clearing system ("CDS Participants") to provide a proxy with respect to the Senior Notes held on behalf of ultimate beneficial Senior Noteholders and credited to such CDS Participants specified on the CDS Participant list as of the Record Date. The Corporation understands that CDS Participants will seek instructions with respect to the proxy from non-registered Senior Noteholders and act in accordance with those instructions in submitting proxies.

Non-registered Senior Noteholders can vote by completing the applicable VIF and returning it to their bank, trust company, securities dealer or broker, or trustee or other intermediary prior to the Senior Noteholder Proxy Submission Deadline and in accordance with the instructions and procedures provided by such intermediary. Such non-registered Senior Noteholders will be considered to have appointed one of the persons identified in VIF as their proxyholder to attend, vote and act on behalf of such non-registered Senior Noteholder in respect of any matter that may come before the Senior Noteholders' Meeting, including to vote the Senior Notes beneficially held by such Senior Noteholder FOR or AGAINST the Senior Noteholders' Arrangement Resolution. No other action is required by such Senior Noteholder to participate and vote at the Senior Noteholders' Meeting.

Each non-registered Senior Noteholder also has the right to appoint a person other than the individuals listed in the VIF to represent them at the Senior Noteholders' Meeting (including non-registered Senior Noteholders who wish to appoint themselves as proxyholder to participate and vote at the Senior Noteholders' Meeting). In order to appoint such other person, a non-registered Senior Noteholder must submit their applicable VIF appointing such third party proxyholder and carefully follow any other instructions provided by their intermediary.

If you have questions or require more information with regard to voting your Senior Notes, please contact the Proxy Solicitation Agent, using the information provided on the back cover of this Circular.

Quorum and Required Approvals

Subject to any further order of the Court, the Court has set quorum for the Senior Noteholders' Meeting at two or more persons entitled to vote at the Senior Noteholders' Meeting present in person or by proxy. Should a quorum for purposes of voting on the Senior Notes not be present at the initial Senior Noteholders' Meeting, such Senior Noteholders' Meeting shall be adjourned to the same day in the next calendar week at the same time and place, and no notice will be required to be given in respect of such adjourned Senior Noteholders' Meeting. At the adjourned Senior Noteholders' Meeting, the Senior Noteholders present in person or by proxy will constitute a quorum for purposes of voting on the Senior Noteholders' Arrangement Resolution and may transact the business for which the Senior Noteholders' Meeting was originally convened, notwithstanding that two or more persons entitled to vote at the Senior Noteholders' Meeting may not be present in person or by proxy, pursuant to the Interim Order.

Subject to any further order of the Court, the Senior Noteholders' Arrangement Resolution must be passed by at least two-thirds (66⅔%) of the votes cast by the Senior Noteholders, voting as a single class, present in person or represented by proxy at the Senior Noteholders' Meeting and entitled to vote on the Senior Noteholders' Arrangement Resolution. The implementation of the Arrangement is subject to, among other things, the approval of the Arrangement by holders of Corus' Class A Voting Shares and Class B Non-Voting Shares (each as defined in the Circular) at a separate meeting, other approvals as may be required by the Court and the Toronto Stock Exchange, any applicable regulatory approvals and the approval of the Court.

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that, pursuant to an order (the “Interim Order”) of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) (the “Court”) dated December 17, 2025 a special meeting (the “Shareholders’ Meeting”) of the holders (the “Shareholders”) of the Class A Voting Shares (the “Class A Voting Shares”) and the Class B Non-Voting Shares (the “Class B Non-Voting Shares”), in each case, in the capital of Corus Entertainment Inc. (“Corus” or the “Corporation”) will be held virtually via online webcast at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/cjr2026sm, on Friday, January 30, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. (Toronto time) to, among other things:

  1. consider and, if deemed advisable, to pass, with or without variation, a special resolution (the “Shareholders’ Arrangement Resolution”), the full text of which is set out in Appendix B to the accompanying management information circular dated January 2, 2026 (the “Circular”), of the holders of Class A Voting Shares and Class B Non-Voting Shares, voting separately as a class, approving an arrangement (the “Arrangement”) pursuant to Section 192 of the CBCA involving the Corporation, which Arrangement is more particularly described in the Circular; and
  2. transact such further and other business as may properly come before the Shareholders’ Meeting or the reconvening of any adjournment or postponement thereof.

AND NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Court has been advised that its order approving the Arrangement, if granted, will constitute the basis for an exemption from the registration requirements of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as provided by Section 3(a)(10) thereof, with respect to the issuance of securities pursuant to the Arrangement.

Corus reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to withdraw the Shareholders’ Arrangement Resolution from being put before the Shareholders’ Meeting.

The implementation of the Arrangement is subject to, among other things, the approval of the Arrangement by holders of Corus' Senior Notes (as defined in the Circular) at a separate meeting, other approvals as may be required by the Court and the TSX, any applicable regulatory approvals and the approval of the Court.

The applicable deadline for the deposit of proxies may be waived by the chairman of the Shareholders’ Meeting or the chairman of the Senior Noteholders’ Meeting, as applicable, at his or her sole discretion without notice.

Senior Noteholders

Registered Senior Noteholders are required to vote in accordance with the instructions provided on the Senior Noteholder Proxy. The Senior Notes have been issued in the form of uncertificated global notes registered in the name of CDS & Co. (a nominee of CDS) and as such, CDS & Co. is the sole registered Senior Noteholder. Only registered Senior Noteholders, or their duly appointed proxyholders, have the right to provide a proxy for the Senior Noteholders’ Meeting. The Corporation expects that CDS & Co. will provide an omnibus proxy which authorizes one or more CDS Participants to provide a proxy with respect to the Senior Notes held on behalf of ultimate beneficial Senior Noteholders and credited to such CDS Participants specified on the CDS Participant list as of the Record Date. The

45


Corporation understands that CDS Participants will seek instructions with respect to the proxy from non-registered Senior Noteholders and act in accordance with those instructions in submitting proxies.

Non-registered Senior Noteholders can vote by completing the applicable VIF and returning it to their Intermediary prior to the Senior Noteholder Proxy Submission Deadline and in accordance with the instructions and procedures provided by such Intermediary. Such non-registered Senior Noteholders will be considered to have appointed one of the persons identified in the VIF as their proxyholder to attend, vote and act on behalf of such non-registered Senior Noteholder in respect of any matter that may come before the Senior Noteholders' Meeting, including to vote the Senior Notes beneficially held by such Senior Noteholder FOR or AGAINST the Senior Noteholders' Arrangement Resolution. No other action is required by such Senior Noteholder to participate and vote at the Senior Noteholders' Meeting.

Each non-registered Senior Noteholder also has the right to appoint a person other than the individuals listed in the VIF to represent them at the Senior Noteholders' Meeting (including non-registered Senior Noteholders who wish to appoint themselves as proxyholder to participate and vote at the Senior Noteholders' Meeting). In order to appoint such other person, a non-registered Senior Noteholder must submit their applicable VIF appointing such third party proxyholder and carefully follow any other instructions provided by their Intermediary.

The Corporation may utilize Broadridge's QuickVote™ system to assist eligible Senior Noteholders with voting over the telephone.

SOLICITATION OF PROXIES

Management of Corus and the Board are soliciting proxies for use at the Meetings. Proxies will be solicited by mail and may also be solicited personally or by telephone, e-mail or other electronic means by the Proxy Solicitation Agent, and by the directors, officers and/or employees of Corus. Directors and officers of Corus involved in the solicitation of proxies will not be specifically remunerated therefor.

Corus has retained Laurel Hill Advisory Group as the Proxy Solicitation Agent to solicit proxies from Securityholders and provide other related services in connection with the implementation of the Recapitalization Transaction and has agreed to pay the Proxy Solicitation Agent a fee of $60,000 for proxy solicitation services plus certain additional fees for other services provided. A Securityholder with any questions regarding the procedures for voting or making elections, or completing a proxy form, a VIF or other form provided in connection with the Meetings or Arrangement should contact the Proxy Solicitation Agent, toll-free in North America at 1-877-452-7184 (collect call outside North America at 416-304-0211) or by email at [email protected].

Corus has requested that Intermediaries who hold Senior Notes or Shares in their names furnish this Circular and accompanying materials to the non-registered holders of the Senior Notes and Shares and request authority to deliver

47


a proxy. The Corporation will reimburse the Intermediaries for the reasonable costs incurred in obtaining authorization to execute forms of proxy from their principals or non-registered owners.

SENIOR NOTEHOLDER PROXIES

The Senior Notes have been issued in the form of uncertificated global notes registered in the name of CDS & Co. (a nominee of CDS) and as such, CDS & Co. is the sole registered Senior Noteholder. Only registered Senior Noteholders, or their duly appointed proxyholders, have the right to provide a proxy for the Senior Noteholders' Meeting. The Corporation expects that CDS & Co. will provide an omnibus proxy which authorizes one or more CDS Participants to provide a proxy with respect to the Senior Notes held on behalf of ultimate beneficial Senior Noteholders and credited to such CDS Participants specified on the CDS Participant list as of the Record Date. The Corporation understands that CDS Participants will seek instructions with respect to the proxy from non-registered Senior Noteholders and act in accordance with those instructions in submitting proxies.

Non-registered Senior Noteholders can vote by completing the applicable VIF and returning it to their Intermediary prior to the Senior Noteholder Proxy Submission Deadline and in accordance with the instructions and procedures provided by such Intermediary. Such non-registered Senior Noteholders will be considered to have appointed one of the persons identified in the VIF as their proxyholder to attend, vote and act on behalf of such non-registered Senior Noteholder in respect of any matter that may come before the Senior Noteholders' Meeting, including to vote the Senior Notes beneficially held by such Senior Noteholder FOR or AGAINST the Senior Noteholders' Arrangement Resolution. No other action is required by such Senior Noteholder to participate and vote at the Senior Noteholders' Meeting.

Each non-registered Senior Noteholder also has the right to appoint a person other than the individuals listed in the VIF to represent them at the Senior Noteholders' Meeting (including non-registered Senior Noteholders who wish to appoint themselves as proxyholder to participate and vote at the Senior Noteholders' Meeting). In order to appoint such other person, a non-registered Senior Noteholder must submit their applicable VIF appointing such third party proxyholder and carefully follow any other instructions provided by their Intermediary.

SHAREHOLDER PROXIES

Corus has designated the individuals named on the form of proxy and VIF as persons whom Shareholders may appoint as their proxyholders. These individuals are directors and/or officers of Corus and will represent management of Corus at the applicable Meeting. A Shareholder wishing to appoint some other Person (who need not be a Shareholder) to represent the Shareholder at the Shareholders' Meeting may do so by following the instructions provided in either the form of proxy or the VIF, as applicable, or by visiting www.proxyvote.com and following the instructions which are also described below.

Proxyholder Registration

In order for a duly appointed proxyholder to represent a Shareholder at the Shareholders' Meeting and to vote on such Shareholder's behalf, the Shareholder should follow the instructions on their form of proxy or VIF, as applicable, and is encouraged to appoint such other person online at www.proxyvote.com by no later than 10:00 a.m. (Toronto Time) on January 28, 2026 (or such earlier deadline as the Shareholder's Intermediary may require) as this will reduce the risk of any mail disruptions and will allow the Shareholder to share the necessary information with their appointed proxyholder more easily. To provide the appointed proxyholder access to the Shareholders' Meeting, a Shareholder must create a unique eight-character "Appointee Identification Number" and specify the "Appointee Name" in the spaces provided in the form of proxy or VIF as applicable, or online at www.proxyvote.com. The Shareholder must then provide the proxyholder with the unique eight-character Appointee Identification Number along with the specified Appointee Name to allow the proxyholder access to the Shareholders' Meeting.

If an eight-character Appointee Identification Number is not created by the Shareholder, the appointed proxyholder will not be able to access the Shareholders' Meeting.

REVOCATION OF PROXIES

Subject to the Support Agreement, non-registered Senior Noteholders shall be entitled to revoke their proxies and a revocation of the vote will be deemed to be made upon: (i) in respect of a change in vote by the non-registered Senior Noteholder, such non-registered Senior Noteholder providing new instructions to such non-registered Senior Noteholder’s CDS Participant or the Proxy Solicitation Agent, as applicable, at any time up to 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on January 28, 2026, or such later date that is two business days prior to the Senior Noteholders’ Meeting in the event that the Senior Noteholders’ Meeting is postponed or adjourned, which the CDS Participant must then deliver to the Proxy Solicitation Agent prior to the Senior Noteholder Proxy Submission Deadline (or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter); (ii) in respect of a withdrawal of a vote (meaning a switch to no vote made and no action taken) by a non-registered Senior Noteholder, a written statement from such non-registered Senior Noteholder indicating that it wishes to have its voting instructions revoked, which written statement must be included in the master proxy submitted by the applicable CDS Participant pursuant to the Interim Order and received by the Proxy Solicitation Agent at any time up to the Senior Noteholder Proxy Submission Deadline and which withdrawal shall be forwarded to the Applicants upon receipt; and (iii) in any other manner permitted by the Applicants, each acting reasonably. Subject to the Support Agreement or Shareholder Support Agreement, as applicable, registered Shareholders are entitled to revoke their proxies in accordance with section 148(4) of the CBCA provided that any instruments in writing delivered pursuant to section 148(4)(a)(i) of the CBCA (a) may be deposited at the registered office of Corus or with Broadridge; and (b) any such instruments must be received by Corus or Broadridge not later than the business day immediately preceding the Shareholders’ Meeting (or any adjournment or postponement thereof).

Subject to the Support Agreement or Shareholder Support Agreement, as applicable, non-registered Shareholders may revoke their proxy or voting instructions by contacting their Intermediary.

VOTING OF PROXIES

The Securities represented by any valid proxy or VIF will be voted or withheld from voting, as the case may be, in accordance with the specific instructions of the Securityholder given on such valid proxy or VIF, as applicable. If no voting instructions are given, then your proxyholder may vote your Securities as they see fit. If you appoint the proxyholders named on the form of proxy or VIF, who are representatives of Corus, and do not specify how they should vote your Securities, then your Securities will be voted by the designated persons named in the form of proxy or VIF, as applicable:

  1. FOR the approval of the Senior Noteholders’ Arrangement Resolution; and
  2. FOR the approval of the Shareholders’ Arrangement Resolution.

The form of proxy or VIF confers discretionary authority upon the persons named therein with respect to amendments or variations to matters identified in the applicable Notices of Meeting and with respect to other matters which may properly come before the applicable Meeting. At the date of this Circular, management of Corus knows of no such amendments, variations or other matters other than the matters referred to in the Notices of Meeting. If any such amendment, variation or other matter, which is not now known, should properly come before a Meeting, then the persons named in the form of proxy or VIF, who are representatives of Corus, will vote on such matters in accordance with their best judgment with respect to the applicable Securities represented by such proxy.

NON-REGISTERED SECURITYHOLDERS

The Securities of non-registered Securityholders are registered either:

(a) in the name of an Intermediary that the non-registered Securityholder deals in respect of the Securities (Intermediaries include banks, trust companies, securities dealers or brokers, and trustees or administrators of self-administered RRSPs, RRIFs, RESPs and similar plans); or
(b) in the name of a depository such as CDS.

In accordance with Canadian Securities Laws and the Interim Order, Corus has distributed copies of the Senior Noteholder Meeting Package and the Shareholder Meeting Package to CDS and Intermediaries for onward distribution


to non-registered Securityholders. Intermediaries are required to forward these packages to non-registered Securityholders unless a non-registered Securityholder has waived the right to receive them.

These securityholder materials are being delivered to both registered holders of Securities as well as non-registered Securityholders. If you are a non-registered Securityholder and Corus or its agent has sent these materials directly to you, your name and address and information about your holdings of securities have been obtained in accordance with applicable securities regulatory requirements from the Intermediary holding on your behalf.

Applicable securities regulatory policy requires Intermediaries, on receipt of materials that seek voting instructions from non-registered Securityholders indirectly, to seek voting instructions from non-registered Securityholders in advance of meetings of securityholders. Every Intermediary has its own mailing procedures and provides its own return instructions, which should be carefully followed by non-registered Securityholders in order to ensure that their Securities are voted at the applicable Meeting or the reconvening of or any adjournment(s) or postponement(s) thereof. Often, the form of proxy or VIF supplied to a non-registered Securityholder by its broker is identical to the form of proxy provided to registered Securityholders; however, its purpose is limited to instructing the registered securityholder how to vote on behalf of the non-registered Securityholder.

Intermediaries will typically use a service company to forward the Shareholder Meeting Package. The majority of Intermediaries now delegate responsibility for obtaining shareholder instructions from clients to Broadridge. Broadridge typically mails a VIF in lieu of the form of proxy. Non-registered Shareholders are requested to vote in accordance with the instructions set forth in the VIF. Broadridge will tabulate the results for the Shareholders' Meeting and provide appropriate instructions respecting the voting of Class A Voting Shares and Class B Non-Voting Shares to be represented at the Shareholders' Meeting or the reconvening of any adjournment(s) or postponement(s) thereof.

Intermediaries will provide Senior Noteholder voting instructions to Broadridge through the submission of master proxies, which will tabulate the results for the Senior Noteholders' Meeting and provide appropriate instructions respecting the voting of Senior Notes to be represented at the Senior Noteholders' Meetings or the reconvening of any adjournment(s) or postponement(s) thereof.

Subject to any further order of the Court, pursuant to the Interim Order, those persons who are Senior Noteholders on the Record Date are entitled to attend and vote at the Senior Noteholders' Meeting. Senior Noteholders entitled to vote at the Senior Noteholders' Meeting will be entitled to one vote for each $1.00 principal amount of Senior Notes held by such registered Senior Noteholder as of the Record Date in respect of the Senior Noteholders' Arrangement Resolution and any other matters to be considered at the Senior Noteholders' Meeting.

Subject to any further order of the Court, the Court has set quorum for the Senior Noteholders' Meeting at two or more persons entitled to vote at the Senior Noteholders' Meeting present in person or by proxy. Should a quorum for purposes of voting on the Senior Notes not be present at the initial Senior Noteholders' Meeting, such Senior Noteholders' Meeting shall be adjourned to the same day in the next calendar week at the same time and place, and no notice will be required to be given in respect of such adjourned Senior Noteholders' Meeting. At the adjourned Senior Noteholders' Meeting, the Senior Noteholders present in person or by proxy will constitute a quorum for purposes of voting on Senior Noteholders' Arrangement Resolution and may transact the business for which the Senior Noteholders' Meeting was originally convened, notwithstanding that two or more persons entitled to vote at the Senior Noteholders' Meeting may not be present in person or by proxy.

50


Subject to any further order of the Court, the Senior Noteholders’ Arrangement Resolution must be passed by at least two-thirds (66⅔%) of the votes cast by the Senior Noteholders, voting as a single class, present in person or represented by proxy at the Senior Noteholders’ Meeting and entitled to vote on the Senior Noteholders’ Arrangement Resolution.

Pursuant to the Support Agreement, Senior Noteholders representing, in aggregate, more than 74% of the aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes outstanding have agreed to vote in favour of the Senior Noteholders’ Arrangement Resolution as of December 24, 2025.

Shareholders’ Meeting

Under the Corporation’s by-laws, a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting of Shareholders is one or more persons holding 25% of outstanding voting shares present in person, each being a Shareholder entitled to vote at the meeting or a duly appointed proxyholder or representative for a Shareholder so entitled, irrespective of the number of shares held by such persons. Pursuant to the Interim Order, and notwithstanding the Corporation’s by-laws, quorum for the Shareholders’ Meeting is set at, in respect of each of the Class A Voting Shares and the Class B Non-Voting Shares, two or more persons entitled to vote at the Shareholders’ Meeting, each present in person or represented by proxy.

Subject to any further order of the Court, the vote required to pass the Shareholders’ Arrangement Resolution is: (i) at least two-thirds (66⅔%) of the votes cast by the holders of Class A Voting Shares and two-thirds (66⅔%) of the votes cast by the holders of Class B Non-Voting Shares, voting separately as a class, in each case, present in person or represented by proxy at the Shareholders’ Meeting and entitled to vote on the Shareholders’ Arrangement Resolution; and (ii) a majority (50% + 1) of the votes cast by the holders of Class A Voting Shares in accordance with the requirements of the TSX. Each Class A Voting Share and Class B Non-Voting Share will have one vote on the Arrangement Resolution.

By voting in favour of the Shareholders’ Arrangement Resolution, holders of Class A Voting Shares will also be voting in favour of certain matters as required by the TSX, including that the Recapitalization Transaction: (i) results in the issuance of New Shares in excess of 25% of the outstanding Shares at an issue price that is less than the market price; (ii) provides for the issuance of New Shares at a price that is lower than the discount to the market price permitted by the TSX; and (iii) will “materially affect control” of the Corporation by creating a holding or holdings in excess of 20% of the Corporation’s voting securities. Such approvals are required under Sections 604(a)(i), 607(e), 607(g)(i) and 608(a) of the TSX Company Manual. In accordance with the policies of the TSX, a simple majority of votes cast by holders of the Class A Voting Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Shareholders’ Meeting and entitled to vote must approve such resolution.

SHARES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS THEREOF

As at December 24, 2025, the Corporation’s issued and outstanding voting shares consist of 3,356,994 Class A Voting Shares and 196,083,164 Class B Non-Voting Shares.

BUSINESS OF THE MEETING OF SENIOR NOTEHOLDERS

Senior Noteholders will be asked to consider and, if deemed advisable, to pass, with or without variation, the Senior Noteholders’ Arrangement Resolution approving the Arrangement.

BUSINESS OF THE SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if deemed advisable, to pass, with or without variation, the Shareholders’ Arrangement Resolution.

By voting in favour of the Shareholders’ Arrangement Resolution, holders of Class A Voting Shares will also be voting in favour of the TSX Approval Matters which approvals are required under Sections 604(a)(i), 607(e), 607(g)(i) and 608(a) of the TSX Company Manual. See “Certain Regulatory And Other Matters Relating To The Recapitalization Transaction – TSX Listing – TSX Approval Matters”.

Corus reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to withdraw the Shareholders’ Arrangement Resolution from being put before the Shareholders’ Meeting. Pursuant to the Interim Order, Corus may seek Court approval of the CBCA Plan whether or not the Shareholders’ Arrangement Resolution is passed by Shareholders at the Shareholders’ Meeting and whether or not the Shareholders’ Meeting is held.

CHANGES TO THE ARRANGEMENT

Pursuant to the terms of the Interim Order, and subject to the Support Agreement and the CBCA Plan, Corus is authorized to make such amendments, modifications or supplements to the Arrangement and the CBCA Plan as it may determine. The Arrangement and the CBCA Plan so amended, modified or supplemented shall be deemed to be the Arrangement and the CBCA Plan submitted to the Securityholders at the Meetings, and shall be deemed to be the subject of the Arrangement Resolutions in respect of the Arrangement and the CBCA Plan.

If any such amendments, modifications or supplements to the Arrangement and the CBCA Plan prior to the Meetings would be reasonably expected to affect a Securityholder’s decision to vote for or against the applicable Arrangement Resolution, notice of such amendment, modification or supplement will be distributed prior to the relevant Meeting by press release, newspaper advertisement, e-mail or by the method most reasonably practicable in the circumstances, as Corus, in consultation with the Initial Supporting Noteholders, may determine, and Corus shall provide notice of such amendment, modification and/or supplement to the applicable Indenture Trustees by the method most reasonably practicable in the circumstances as Corus, in consultation with the Initial Supporting Noteholders, may determine.

Amendments, modifications or supplements to the Arrangement and the CBCA Plan may be made following the Meetings but are subject to the terms of the Support Agreement and the CBCA Plan and, if appropriate, further

52


direction by the Court at the hearing for the Final Order. See “Description of Recapitalization Transaction – Amendments to the Recapitalization Transaction and CBCA Plan”.

In connection with such potential amendments, modifications or supplements to the Arrangement and the CBCA Plan, Corus is authorized to make such amendments, revisions or supplements (“Additional Information”) to the Circular, the form of proxy or VIF, as applicable, together with the Letter of Transmittal, if applicable, the applicable Notice of Meeting, along with such amendments or additional documents as the Applicants may determine are necessary and desirable and not inconsistent with the terms of the Interim Order. Corus may provide notice of such Additional Information by press release, CDS bulletins, newspaper advertisement, pre-paid mail or by such other method most reasonably practicable in the circumstances, as Corus may determine.

Any such amendments, revisions or supplements made by Corus will be subject to the terms of the Support Agreement which is available under the Corporation’s profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and the Interim Order which is attached as Appendix G to this Circular. Securityholders are urged to monitor the public disclosure of, and correspondence received from, Corus for Additional Information.

As at the date of this Circular, management of Corus is not aware of any amendment, variation or other matter expected to come before the Meetings. If any other matters properly come before the Meetings, the persons named on the form of proxy or VIF will vote on them in accordance with their best judgment.

DESCRIPTION OF THE RECAPITALIZATION TRANSACTION

The Recapitalization Transaction contemplates a series of steps leading to a realignment of Corus’ capital structure. These steps include, among other things: (i) the exchange of Senior Notes for a cash payment in the aggregate amount of all accrued and unpaid interest in respect of the Senior Notes, New Second Lien Notes and New Shares representing, in the aggregate, 99% of the issued and outstanding New Shares as of the Effective Date on a non-diluted basis; (ii) the exchange of all Class A Voting Shares and Class B Non-Voting Shares (excluding those Shares held by the Supporting Shareholders which will be surrendered and cancelled without any payment) for New Shares on a 1:1 basis representing, in the aggregate, 1% of the issued and outstanding New Shares as of the Effective Date on a non-diluted basis; (iii) the Share Consolidation; (iv) the settlement and exchange of the Term Loan for: (a) cash equal to the accrued and unpaid interest in respect of the Term Loan Facility; (b) cash equal to $1,098,032.83, plus the cash proceeds received by Corus pursuant to the Senior Noteholder Participation Option in repayment of principal amount outstanding; and (c) New First Lien Notes; and (v) the issuance of the Warrants. Each of these steps is discussed in further detail below. The Recapitalization Transaction also contemplates the amendment and restatement of the Credit Agreement on terms acceptable to Corus and the Majority Initial Supporting Noteholders to, among other things, (i) reflect that the Term Loan has been repaid in full and fully and finally settled, (ii) amend and restate the existing senior secured revolving credit facility into the A&R Revolving Credit Facility, and (iii) establish a maturity date for the A&R Revolving Credit Facility that is five years from the Effective Date.

Treatment of Senior Notes

On May 11, 2021, the Corporation issued $500 million aggregate principal amount of 2028 Notes bearing interest at 5.000% per annum and maturing on May 11, 2028 which notes are governed under the 2028 Indenture. On February 28, 2022, the Corporation issued $250 million aggregate principal amount of 2030 Notes bearing interest at 6.000% per annum and maturing on February 28, 2030 which notes are governed by the 2030 Indenture. Copies of the Indentures are available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

Under the CBCA Plan, the Senior Notes will be settled and exchanged for: (i) cash equal to the accrued and unpaid interest in respect of the Senior Notes (calculated at the contractual non-default rate) up to but not including the Effective Date (the “Senior Notes Accrued Interest Payment”); (ii) an aggregate of approximately 18.4 billion New Shares on a pre-Share Consolidation basis (the “Senior Noteholder New Shares”); and (iii) the New Second Lien Notes.

On the Effective Date, each Senior Noteholder shall receive its Pro Rata Share (determined in its capacity as a senior noteholder) of the Senior Noteholder New Shares and the New Second Lien Notes. See “Description of the Recapitalization Transaction – Procedures”.

53


The actual number of Senior Noteholder New Shares will be calculated as of the Effective Date and will represent, in aggregate, 99% of the issued and outstanding New Shares as of the Effective Date on a non-diluted basis and will be either CVS or VVS depending on whether such Senior Noteholder New Shares are owned or controlled by a Canadian. See “Certain Regulatory and Other Matters Relating to the Recapitalization Transaction – Restrictions on Non-Canadian Ownership”, “Corus and Newco After the Recapitalization Transaction – Share Capital” and “Corus and Newco After the Recapitalization Transaction – Summary of Share Terms”.

No fractional New Shares will be issued in connection with the Arrangement. With respect to fractional New Shares that would otherwise be issuable to a Senior Noteholder, the entitlement of such Senior Noteholder will be reduced to the next lowest whole number of New Shares.

The terms of the New Second Lien Notes are described below under the heading “Terms of the New First Lien Notes and New Second Lien Notes”.

Holders of Senior Notes who vote in favour of the Arrangement may elect to subscribe for and fund their Pro Rata Share of the New First Lien Notes prior to the Effective Date, provided that the aggregate participating senior noteholders’ subscription amount equals at least one percent (1%) of the New First Lien Notes (being $3 million). See “Description of the Recapitalization Transaction – Procedures – Eligibility and Procedures for Senior Noteholder Participation Option” for more information.

Treatment of Class A Voting Shares and Class B Non-Voting Shares

Under the CBCA Plan, Newco will acquire all of the issued and outstanding Class A Voting Shares and Class B Non-Voting Shares from the Shareholders in exchange for the issuance to the Shareholders of approximately 186 million New Shares, on a pre-Share Consolidation basis, that reflects the surrender and cancellation of all Shares held by the Supporting shareholders and that will collectively represent approximately 1% of the total number of outstanding New Shares upon completion of the Recapitalization Transaction on a non-diluted basis. The actual number of New Shares issued to Shareholders will be calculated as of the Effective Date. Following such exchange, the Shareholders shall have no further right, title or interest in or to the Shares.

On the Effective Date, each Shareholder shall receive one (1) New Share for each Share held by such Shareholder. The New Shares issued to Shareholders will be either CVS or VVS depending on whether such New Shares are owned or controlled by a Canadian. See “Certain Regulatory and Other Matters Relating to the Recapitalization Transaction – Restrictions on Non-Canadian Ownership” and “Corus and Newco After the Recapitalization Transaction – Summary of Share Terms”.

Further to the Shareholder Support Agreement, the CBCA Plan provides that all Shares held by the Supporting Shareholders will be surrendered and cancelled without any payment and without any further formality.

Share Consolidation

The CBCA Plan provides for the Share Consolidation, pursuant to which the issued and outstanding New Shares will be consolidated on the basis of one (1) New Share for every 500 New Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Share Consolidation. Based on the number of Class A Voting Shares and Class B Non-Voting Shares outstanding, the Share Consolidation is expected to reduce the number of issued and outstanding New Shares to approximately 37,193,775 New Shares, taking into account the cancellation of fractional New Shares held by existing Shareholders that would hold less than one New Share following the Share Consolidation. However, the actual number of New Shares outstanding will depend on a number of factors, including the number of holders of New Shares holding multiples that result in fractional interests as a result of the Share Consolidation which fractional interests will be extinguished.

54


No fractional New Shares will be issued in connection with the Share Consolidation. In the event that a holder would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional New Share upon the Share Consolidation, such fraction will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of New Shares. The following is an illustrative example:

Share Ownership New Share Ownership Post-Share Consolidation Holdings
Scenario 1 – Exact Exchange 1,000 Shares 1,000 New Shares 2 New Shares
Scenario 2 – Fractional Holdings 1,400 Shares 1,400 New Shares 2 New Shares

No compensation will be issued to such holders as a result of rounding down and no cash shall be paid for fractional shares. Shareholders holding a number of New Shares that is less than the ratio specified for the Share Consolidation will have their interest in Newco terminated without consideration.

The Senior Noteholders and Shareholders are being asked to approve the Arrangement, which includes the Share Consolidation, at the Meetings.

The Share Consolidation will (by itself) cause no change in the stated capital attributable to the New Shares and will not materially affect the aggregate percentage ownership in Newco by existing Shareholders, even though such ownership would be represented by a lesser number of New Shares on a post-Share Consolidation basis.

No assurances can be given as to the effect of the Share Consolidation on the market price of the New Shares. Specifically, no assurance can be given that if the Recapitalization Transaction is effected, the market price of the New Shares will increase by the same multiple as the Share Consolidation ratio or will result in a permanent increase in the market price. Actual market price movement of the New Shares share price will be dependent on various factors, many of which are beyond the control of Newco or Corus. Corus anticipates that the New Shares will begin trading on a post-Share Consolidation basis on a date to be confirmed, which is currently expected to be the second trading day following the Effective Date.

See “Description of the Recapitalization Transaction – Procedures”.

Term Loan

Under the CBCA Plan, $301,098,032.83 in principal amount of Corus’ existing Term Loan will be settled and exchanged for: (i) cash equal to the accrued and unpaid interest in respect of the Term Loan Facility; (ii) cash equal to $1,098,032.83, plus the cash proceeds received by Corus pursuant to the Senior Noteholder Participation Option in repayment of principal amount outstanding; and (iii) New First Lien Notes. The terms of the New First Lien Notes are described in “Terms of the New First Lien Notes and New Second Lien Notes”.

Revolving Credit Facility and Credit Agreement

The Credit Agreement provides for two credit facilities: (i) the Revolving Credit Facility of which the principal amount of $90,000,000.00 was drawn as of November 30, 2025; and (ii) the Term Loan of which the principal amount of $301,098,032.83 was drawn as of November 30, 2025. Pursuant to the First Amending Agreement, the Credit Agreement was amended to increase the commitment under the Revolving Credit Facility from $75 million to $125 million. Pursuant to the Amendment, Consent & Waiver Agreement, the Lenders and Corus agreed to further amend the Credit Agreement as of November 2, 2025 to, among other things, amend certain of the financial covenants of the Credit Agreement in contemplation of the Recapitalization Transaction.

The Recapitalization Transaction contemplates that: (i) the Revolving Credit Facility will be amended and restated into the A&R Revolving Credit Facility; and (ii) the terms of the Credit Agreement will be amended to, among other things, (a) reflect that the Term Loan has been repaid in full and fully and finally settled, (b) amend and restate the


Revolving Credit Facility into the A&R Revolving Credit Facility, and (c) establish a maturity date for the A&R Revolving Credit Facility that is five years from the Effective Date. See “Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement” for further details.

Pre-Closing Reorganization

In connection with the Recapitalization Transaction, Corus and its subsidiaries will undertake a series of internal reorganizations, to be implemented prior to the Effective Date, to simplify Corus’ corporate structure (the “Pre-Closing Reorganization”). The Pre-Closing Reorganization contemplates, among other things, the amalgamation of certain subsidiaries and will be effected at the subsidiary level such that it will not impact the equity of Corus.

Warrants

The Recapitalization Transaction contemplates that, warrants to acquire New Shares representing 10% of the issued and outstanding New Shares on a fully-diluted basis as at the Effective Date will be issued to the holders of New First Lien Notes (the “Warrants”). The Warrants will have an exercise price of $0.01 per New Share post-Share Consolidation and will be exercisable for a period of five years following the Effective Date. The Warrants will be issued pursuant to an indenture. The Warrants will contain customary public company anti-dilution adjustment provisions and Corus will use best efforts to have the Warrants listed on a recognized exchange in Canada following the Effective Date.

Effect on Other Equity Holders

Pursuant to the CBCA Plan, and in accordance with their terms, all Stock Options, whether vested or unvested, outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be adjusted to become exercisable for that number of New Shares (on a post-Share Consolidation basis), rather than a Share, with a corresponding adjustment to the exercise price therefor.

All PSUs, RSUs, DSUs and all rights of participants pursuant to the ESPP will remain outstanding and will be adjusted in accordance with their terms to provide that the underlying securities will be New Shares, rather than the Class B Non-Voting Shares.

Pursuant to the CBCA Plan, any remaining Legacy Equity Interests (which, for certainty, does not include any Stock Options, PSUs, RSUs, DSUs or any rights of participants pursuant to the ESPP) will be terminated and cancelled without any payment or consideration therefor, and all such Legacy Equity Interests, together with any documents or instruments governing or having been created or granted in connection with such Legacy Equity Interests, will be terminated and cancelled.

Effect on Other Stakeholders

Pursuant to the CBCA Plan, Corus will assign and transfer the Lease and all Lease Claims to LeaseCo and the Sublease Agreement in respect of the Lease between LeaseCo, as sublandlord, and Corus, as sublessee, will become effective as of the Effective Date.

The Arrangement will not affect Corus’ obligations to trade creditors, suppliers, customers, employees and other parties whose interests are not being arranged as part of the Recapitalization Transaction and all such obligations will continue to be satisfied in the ordinary course.

Releases and Waivers

The CBCA Plan includes releases in connection with the implementation of the Recapitalization Transaction in favour of the Corporation Released Parties, the Debtholder Released Parties, the Shareholder Released Parties and the Additional Released Parties.

Pursuant to the CBCA Plan, the Corporation Released Parties and the Debtholder Released Parties will be released and discharged from all present and future actions, causes of action, damages, judgments, executions, obligations, liabilities and Claims of any kind or nature whatsoever arising on or prior to the Effective Date in connection with the

56


Support Agreement, the Senior Notes, the Senior Note Documents, the Credit Documents, the Arrangement, the CBCA Plan, the CBCA Proceedings, any documents or agreements relating to any of the foregoing, and any other proceedings commenced with respect to or in connection with the CBCA Plan, the steps, actions and transactions contemplated thereunder, and any other actions or matters related directly or indirectly to the foregoing. The CBCA Plan releases do not release or discharge (i) any of the Corporation Released Parties and the Debtholder Released Parties from or in respect of their obligations under the CBCA Plan, any of the Definitive Documents or any Order, (ii) LeaseCo’s obligations under the Lease or in respect of the Lease Claims, or (iii) any Corporation Released Party and Debtholder Released Party from liabilities or claims attributable to any Released Party’s fraud, gross negligence or wilful misconduct as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

The CBCA Plan also includes a release in connection with the implementation of the Recapitalization Transaction in favour of the Shareholder Released Parties releasing and discharging the Shareholder Released Parties from all present and future actions, causes of action, damages, judgments, executions, obligations, liabilities and Claims of any kind or nature whatsoever arising on or prior to the Effective Date in connection with the Shareholder Support Agreement, the Arrangement, the CBCA Plan, the CBCA Proceedings, any documents or agreements relating to any of the foregoing, and any other proceedings commenced with respect to or in connection with the CBCA Plan, the steps, actions and transactions contemplated thereunder, the Corus Entities, and their respective business (wherever or however conducted) and property, and any other actions or matters related directly or indirectly to the foregoing.

Pursuant to the CBCA Plan, at any time and from time to time on or before the date of the Final Order, Schedule “A” to the CBCA Plan may be amended, restated, modified or supplemented by the Corporation, with the consent of the Majority Initial Supporting Noteholders, acting reasonably, in order to add any Person as an Additional Released Party provided that such Person, through its conduct or otherwise, has provided the Corus Entities (or any of them) with consideration or value acceptable to the Corporation and the Majority Initial Supporting Noteholders, each acting reasonably.

The CBCA Plan provides that from and after the Effective Time, all Persons named or referred to in, or subject to, the CBCA Plan shall be deemed to have consented and agreed to all of the provisions of the CBCA Plan in its entirety. Without limiting the foregoing, pursuant to the CBCA Plan, all Persons shall be deemed to have waived any and all defaults or events of default, third-party change of control rights, termination rights, or any non-compliance with any covenant, warranty, representation, term, provision, condition or obligation, expressed or implied, in any contract, instrument, credit document, lease, licence, guarantee, agreement for sale or other agreement, written or oral, in each case relating to, arising out of, or in connection with, the Senior Notes, the Senior Notes Documents, the Revolving Facility, the Term Loan Facility, the Credit Documents, the Arrangement, the CBCA Plan, the Support Agreement, the Shareholder Support Agreement, the transactions contemplated under the CBCA Plan, the CBCA Proceedings and other any proceedings commenced with respect to or in connection with the CBCA Plan and any and all amendments or supplements thereto. Pursuant to the CBCA Plan, any and all notices of default and demands for payment or any step or proceeding taken or commenced in connection with any of the foregoing shall be deemed to have been rescinded and of no further force or effect, provided that nothing shall be deemed to excuse the Corus Entities, Newco or LeaseCo, as applicable, and their respective successors and assigns, from performing their obligations under the CBCA Plan, the Definitive Documents or any Order. Furthermore, the CBCA Plan provides that all Persons shall be deemed to have agreed that, if there is any conflict between the provisions of any agreement or other arrangement, written or oral, existing between such Person and any of the Applicants prior to the Effective Date and the provisions of the CBCA Plan, then the provisions of the CBCA Plan take precedence and priority and the provisions of such agreement or other arrangement are deemed to be amended accordingly, provided, however, that notwithstanding any other provision of the CBCA Plan, nothing therein shall affect the obligations of any of the Corus Entities to any employee thereof in their capacity as such, including any contract of employment between any Person and any of the Corus Entities.

Appointment of Directors

Upon completion of the CBCA Plan, the board of directors of Newco (the “Newco Board”) will comprise five directors (which individuals are to be confirmed).

Pursuant to the CBCA Plan, the existing directors of Corus will resign on the Effective Date.

57


Court Approval of the Arrangement

The Arrangement requires approval by the Court and is subject to other regulatory approvals. Prior to the delivery of this Circular, Corus obtained the Interim Order providing for the calling and holding of the Senior Noteholders’ Meeting and the Shareholders’ Meeting, determining the notice requirements for the Meetings, setting quorum and voting requirements for the Meetings, setting the Record Date and other procedural matters. A copy of the Interim Order is attached to this Circular as Appendix G. The Notice of Application in respect of these proceedings, including the Final Order, is attached to this Circular as Appendix H.

The Interim Order provides that following the Meetings, the Applicants may apply to the Court for the Final Order. Pursuant to the Interim Order and subject to any further order of the Court, the only persons entitled to appear and be heard at the Final Order hearing shall be the Applicants, the Senior Noteholders, the Indenture Trustees, the Credit Agreement Agent and the Secured Lender, the Director, the Shareholders and any person who served on the solicitors for the Applicants a Notice of Appearance in accordance with the Interim Order, the Preliminary Interim Order, and the Rules of Civil Procedure, as well as their respective legal counsel.

At the hearing for the Final Order, the Court will consider, among other things, the procedural and substantive fairness and reasonableness of the Arrangement and the approval of: (i) the Senior Noteholders’ Arrangement Resolution by the Senior Noteholders at the Senior Noteholders’ Meeting; and (ii) the Shareholders’ Arrangement Resolution by the Shareholders at the Shareholders’ Meeting. Pursuant to the Interim Order, Corus may seek the Final Order even if the Shareholders’ Arrangement Resolution is not approved by the Shareholders at the Shareholders’ Meeting.

The Court may approve the Arrangement at the Final Order hearing in any manner the Court may direct, subject to compliance with such terms and conditions, if any, as the Court deems fit.

Corus has advised the Court that the New Notes, New Shares and Warrants to be issued pursuant to the Arrangement will be issued in reliance upon the exemption from registration under the 1933 Act provided by Section 3(a)(10) thereunder, upon the Court’s approval of the Arrangement. The Final Order, if granted, will constitute the basis for the exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act pursuant to Section 3(a)(10) thereof, with respect to the offer and sale of all of the New Notes, New Shares and Warrants to be issued pursuant to the CBCA Plan. In order for Corus and Newco to rely on the exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act provided by Section 3(a)(10) thereof, the Court must approve the Final Order (including a determination by the Court as to the procedural and substantive fairness of terms and conditions of the arrangement to the Senior Noteholders and the holders of the Class A Voting Shares and Class B Voting Shares in the capital of Corus). See “Certain Regulatory and Other Matters Relating to the Recapitalization Transaction – Securities Laws Matters – United States”.

Assuming the Final Order is granted and the other conditions to closing contained in the CBCA Plan are satisfied or waived, it is anticipated that the following will occur substantially simultaneously: (i) the various documents necessary to consummate the Recapitalization Transaction will be executed and delivered; (ii) Articles of Arrangement will be filed with the Director to give effect to the CBCA Plan; and (iii) the transactions provided for in the CBCA Plan and the Recapitalization Transaction will occur in the order indicated in the CBCA Plan. See “Conditions Precedent to the Implementation of the Recapitalization Transaction”. The Recapitalization Transaction is also subject to the approval of the TSX and of certain other regulatory bodies. See “Certain Regulatory and Other Matters Relating to the Recapitalization Transaction”.

Subject to the foregoing, it is expected that the Effective Time will occur as soon as practicable after the requisite approvals have been obtained.

Procedures

Registered Shareholders

A Letter of Transmittal for registered Shareholders accompanies this Circular. If the Arrangement is completed, registered Shareholders must properly complete, execute and return the Letter of Transmittal, together with the certificate(s), if any, representing their Shares and any other relevant documents required by the instructions set out in the Letter of Transmittal, to the Transfer Agent at one of the offices specified in the Letter of Transmittal, which documents must actually be received by the Transfer Agent in order to receive New Shares. Except as otherwise

58


provided by the instructions in the Letter of Transmittal, the signature on the Letter of Transmittal must be guaranteed by an eligible institution as defined and set out in the Letter of Transmittal. If a Letter of Transmittal is executed by a person other than the registered holder of the certificate(s) deposited therewith, the certificate(s) must be endorsed or be accompanied by an appropriate securities transfer power of attorney duly and properly completed by the registered holder, with the signature on the endorsement panel or securities transfer power of attorney guaranteed by the eligible institution. All questions as to form, validity and acceptance of any Shares deposited pursuant to the Arrangement will be determined by Corus in its sole discretion. Registered Shareholders depositing Shares agree that such determination shall be final and binding.

Corus reserves the absolute right to reject any and all deposits that Corus determines not to be in proper form or that may be unlawful for it to accept under the laws of any jurisdiction. Corus reserves the absolute right to waive any defect or irregularity in the deposit of any Shares. There shall be no duty or obligation on Corus, ArrangeCo, Newco the Transfer Agent or any other person to give notice of any defect or irregularity in any deposit of Shares and no liability shall be incurred by any of them for failure to give such notice. Corus reserves the right to permit the procedure for the exchange of Shares pursuant to the Arrangement to be completed other than as set out above. Unless otherwise directed in the Letter of Transmittal, the New Shares to be issued in exchange for the Shares will be issued in DRS Advice form in the name of the registered holder of the Shares so deposited.

If the Arrangement is completed, certificates and/or DRS Advice(s) formerly representing Shares on a pre-Arrangement basis will represent New Shares on a post-Share Consolidation basis prior to the exchange of such certificates and/or DRS Advice(s) in accordance with a duly completed Letter of Transmittal.

Registered Shareholders who do not forward to the Transfer Agent properly completed Letters of Transmittal (together with a certificate or certificates representing their Shares and all other required documents) will not receive the certificates representing the New Shares to which they are otherwise entitled and also will not be recorded on the registers of New Shares until proper delivery is made.

Where a certificate representing Shares has been destroyed, lost or mislaid, the registered holder of that certificate should immediately complete the Letter of Transmittal as fully as possible and deliver it together with a letter describing the loss to the Transfer Agent in accordance with instructions in the Letter of Transmittal.

Any use of the mail to transmit a certificate representing Shares and a related Letter of Transmittal is at the risk of the Shareholder. If these documents are mailed, it is recommended that registered mail, with (if applicable) return receipt requested, properly insured, be used. If required approvals of the Arrangement are not obtained, or if the Recapitalization Transaction is not otherwise completed, the certificates representing Shares received by the Transfer Agent will be returned to the appropriate Shareholders.

Non-Registered Shareholders

Shareholders who hold their interests in Shares through CDS through an Intermediary will receive their New Shares through the facilities of CDS. Delivery of New Shares will be made through the facilities of CDS to Intermediaries who are CDS Participants, as applicable, who in turn will deliver New Shares to the non-registered holders thereof pursuant to standing instructions and customary practices.

Non-registered Shareholders should contact their Intermediary for instructions and assistance in providing details of registration and delivery of New Shares.

Surrender and Cancellation of Senior Notes

The Senior Notes are held by CDS (or its nominee) (as sole registered holder of the Senior Notes on behalf of the Senior Noteholders). On the Effective Date, CDS shall surrender, or cause the surrender of, the uncertificated Senior Notes to the 2028 Notes Indenture Trustee and 2030 Notes Indenture Trustee, as applicable, in exchange for the consideration payable to the Senior Noteholders pursuant to the CBCA Plan. Delivery of the New Second Lien Notes and New Shares will be made through the facilities of CDS to Intermediaries who are CDS Participants, as applicable, who in turn will deliver the New Second Lien Notes and New Shares to the non-registered holders thereof pursuant to standing instructions and customary practices.

Non-registered Senior Noteholders should contact their Intermediary for instructions and assistance in providing details of registration and delivery of the New Second Lien Notes and New Shares.

Eligibility and Procedures for Senior Noteholder Participation Option

Senior Noteholders are eligible to subscribe for New First Lien Notes (the “Senior Noteholders’ Participation Option”).

Senior Noteholders have the option, prior to the Effective Date, to subscribe for New First Lien Notes by participating in the Senior Noteholders’ Participation Option by (and subject to): (a) voting in favour of the CBCA Plan and not withdrawing or modifying such vote; (b) returning a duly completed and executed New First Lien Notes Participation Form to Corus by the Participation Deadline; and (c) funding the cash amount equal to its Subscription Amount in escrow with the Escrow Agent by the Funding Deadline, in each case, pursuant to the terms set out in the CBCA Plan. Corus shall also provide the Term Loan Lenders with notice of the Aggregate Participating Senior Noteholders’ Subscription Amount at least two (2) Business Days prior to the anticipated Effective Date.

Submission of a New First Lien Notes Participation Form in accordance with the terms thereof and the CBCA Plan, will constitute an irrevocable election by the applicable Senior Noteholder to subscribe for New First Lien Notes and commitment by the Senior Noteholder to participate in the Senior Noteholders’ Participation Option and fund the cash amount equal to its Subscription Amount.

Any Senior Noteholder that has not funded its Subscription Amount in escrow with the Escrow Agent by the Funding Deadline, will not be eligible to subscribe for New First Lien Notes and will forfeit its opportunity to participate in the Senior Noteholders’ Participation Option. Any unfunded Subscription Amount and the corresponding New First Lien Notes attributable to such Senior Noteholder will be allocated to the Term Loan Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Share (determined in their capacity as Term Loan Lenders) in accordance with the terms of the CBCA Plan.

The availability of the Senior Noteholders’ Participation Option to Senior Noteholders is subject to the aggregate Subscription Amounts funded into escrow by the Funding Deadline equaling at least one per cent (1%) of the New First Lien Notes (being $3 million).

Issuances and Distributions and Payments to Securityholders

The issuances and distributions to Securityholders contemplated in the CBCA Plan will be made as follows:

Delivery of Cash Payments to Term Loan Lenders and Senior Noteholders

(a) The payment by Corus on the Effective Date of the Term Loan Facility Repayment Amount and the Term Loan Facility Accrued Interest Payments to the Term Loan Lenders will be effected through the delivery of cash in the aggregate amount thereof payable to the applicable Term Loan Lender by Corus in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in the Credit Agreement.

(b) The payment by Corus on the Effective Date of the Senior Notes Accrued Interest Payment to Senior Noteholders will be effected through the delivery of cash in the aggregate amount thereof payable to Senior Noteholders by Corus to CDS for distribution to Senior Noteholders in accordance with the terms of the CBCA Plan and CDS’s customary practices.

Delivery of New First Lien Notes

(c) The delivery of the New First Lien Notes to be issued to the Term Loan Lenders and the Participating Senior Noteholders will be made by way of issuance by Corus on the Effective Date of one or more certificated or uncertificated global notes and/or definitive notes (which may be represented by DRS Advice(s)) in respect of the New First Lien Notes, issued: (a) in the name of the applicable Term Loan Lenders and Participating Senior Noteholder; or (b) in the name of CDS (or its nominee) in respect of the Term Loan Lenders and Participating Senior Noteholders, in either case, as requested by each such holder and in accordance with the registration and delivery instructions provided by

60


such holder. With respect to the New First Lien Notes to be issued in the name of CDS (or its nominee), CDS and the applicable Intermediaries shall then make delivery of the New First Lien Notes to the ultimate beneficial recipients thereof entitled to receive the New First Lien Notes pursuant to the CBCA Plan pursuant to standing instructions and customary practices of CDS and such Intermediaries.

Delivery of New Second Lien Notes

(d) The delivery of the New Second Lien Notes to be issued to the Senior Noteholders will be made by way of issuance by Corus on the Effective Date of a global note in respect of the New Second Lien Notes, issued in the name of CDS (or its nominee) in respect of the Senior Noteholders. CDS and the applicable Intermediaries will then make delivery of the New Second Lien Notes to the ultimate beneficial recipients thereof entitled to receive the New Second Lien Notes pursuant to the CBCA Plan pursuant to standing instructions and customary practices of CDS and such Intermediaries.

Delivery of Shares

(e) On the Effective Date, all New Shares, PVVS (if issued), Corus Consideration Common Shares, Corus Consideration Preferred Shares and New LeaseCo Common Shares issued in connection with the CBCA Plan will be deemed to be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

(f) On the Effective Date, Newco will deliver a treasury direction to the Transfer Agent that directs the Transfer Agent to issue all New Shares to be distributed under the CBCA Plan and direct the Transfer Agent to cause the New Shares to be distributed under the CBCA Plan to be distributed as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event by no later than the third Business Day following the Effective Date.

(g) Subject to the terms of the CBCA Plan, the delivery of New Shares and PVVS (if issued) to be distributed under the CBCA Plan will be made either: (i) in respect of non-registered securityholders, through the facilities of CDSX to Intermediaries who, in turn, will make delivery of such shares to the ultimate beneficial recipients thereof pursuant to standing instructions and customary practices of CDS; or (ii) in respect of registered shareholders, by providing DRS Advices or confirmations in the name of the applicable recipient thereof (or its Intermediary) and registered electronically in the records of the applicable issuer which will be maintained by the Transfer Agent, and the delivery of Corus Consideration Common Shares, Corus Consideration Preferred Shares and New LeaseCo Common Shares to be distributed under the CBCA Plan will be made either by way of notice of uncertificated interests or by way of certificated shares.

(h) Upon surrender to the Transfer Agent for cancellation of a DRS Advice or a certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding Shares that were transferred pursuant to the CBCA Plan, as applicable, together with a duly completed and executed Letter of Transmittal and such additional documents and instruments as the Transfer Agent may reasonably require, the former registered holder of the Shares represented by such surrendered DRS Advice or certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, and the Transfer Agent shall deliver to such holder, the New Shares which such holder has the right to receive under the CBCA Plan for such Shares, without interest, less any amounts withheld pursuant to the CBCA Plan, and any DRS Advice or certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled.

(i) Until surrendered pursuant to the CBCA Plan, each DRS Advice or certificate that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, represented Shares will be deemed, after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the New Shares that the holder is entitled to receive in lieu of such DRS Advice or certificate as contemplated in the CBCA Plan, less any amounts withheld. Any such DRS Advice or certificate formerly representing Shares not duly surrendered on or before the sixth anniversary of the Effective Date will cease to represent a claim by or interest of any former holder of Shares of any kind or nature against or in Corus or Newco. On such date, all New Shares to which such former holder was entitled will be deemed to have been surrendered to Newco, and will be paid over by the Transfer Agent to Newco or as directed by Newco.

61


(j) Any payment made by the Transfer Agent (or Corus or Newco, as applicable) pursuant to the CBCA Plan that has not been deposited or has been returned to the Transfer Agent (or Corus or Newco, as applicable) or that otherwise remains unclaimed, in each case, on or before the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, and any right or claim to payment thereunder that remains outstanding on the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, shall cease to represent a right or claim of any kind or nature and the right of the holder to receive payment pursuant to the CBCA Plan shall terminate and be deemed to be surrendered and forfeited to Corus or Newco, as applicable, for no consideration.

(k) No Shareholder will be entitled to receive any New Shares with respect to Shares other than the New Shares which such holder is entitled to receive in accordance with the CBCA Plan and, for greater certainty, no such holder will be entitled to receive any interest, dividends, premium or other payment in connection therewith other than, in respect of Shares, any declared but unpaid dividends with a record date prior to the Effective Date. No dividend or other distribution declared or made after the Effective Time with respect to any securities of Corus or Newco with a record date on or after the Effective Date will be delivered to the holder of any unsumnered DRS Advice or certificate which, immediately prior to the Effective Date, represented outstanding Shares that were transferred pursuant to the CBCA Plan.

Delivery of Warrants

(l) The delivery of the Warrants to be issued to the holders of New First Lien Notes will be made by way of delivery of Warrants issued pursuant to a warrant indenture in the form of one or more certificated or uncertificated global warrants and/or definitive warrants (which may be represented by DRS Advices): (a) issued in the name of the applicable New First Lien Noteholders; or (b) by way of delivery of such Warrants electronically through the facilities of CDS to CDS or its nominee, in either case, as requested by each such holder and in accordance with the registration and delivery instructions provided by such holders. With respect to the Warrants to be delivered through the facilities of CDS or its nominee, CDS and the applicable Intermediaries shall then make delivery of the Warrants to the ultimate beneficial recipients thereof entitled to receive the Warrants pursuant to the CBCA Plan pursuant to standing instructions and customary practices of CDS and such Intermediaries. Corus shall use best efforts to have the Warrants listed on a recognized exchange in Canada following the Effective Date.

Strict compliance with the requirements set forth under "Description of the Recapitalization Transaction - Procedures" concerning, among other things, the deposit and delivery of Shares and Senior Notes will be necessary.

Amendments to the Recapitalization Transaction and CBCA Plan

Pursuant to the Support Agreement, Corus has:

(a) the right, with the prior written consent of the Majority Initial Supporting Noteholders, in respect of the implementation of the Recapitalization Transaction, to have Corus rather than Newco issue the New Shares pursuant to the CBCA Plan and be the Canadian public company for the Corus Entities following the implementation of the CBCA Plan; and

(b) agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to renegotiate the Key Leasing Agreements; provided that, (A) the terms and conditions of any renegotiated Key Leasing Agreements shall be acceptable to Corus and the Majority Initial Supporting Noteholders, each acting reasonably, and (B) if the Key Leasing Agreements cannot be renegotiated or otherwise addressed on terms and conditions that are acceptable to Corus and the Majority Initial Supporting Noteholders, each acting reasonably, then Corus shall have the right, with the prior written consent of the Majority Initial Supporting Noteholders, to amend the CBCA Plan or pursue an Alternative Transaction, in either case, to treat the Key Leasing Agreements (and the claims against the Corus Entities thereunder) in a manner that is reasonably acceptable to Corus and the Majority Initial Supporting Noteholders, including to seek the transfer of the Key Leasing Agreements (and the claims against the Corus Entities thereunder) from the applicable Corus Entities to a LeaseCo.

62


In the event that it is determined to amend the Recapitalization Transaction and the CBCA Plan pursuant to the above, the Recapitalization Transaction and CBCA Plan will be restructured and amended as needed to effect such amendments in accordance with the terms of the Support Agreement.

Pursuant to the CBCA Plan,

(a) The Applicants reserve the right to amend, restate, modify and/or supplement the CBCA Plan at any time and from time to time, provided that (except as provided in paragraph (c) below) any such amendment, restatement, modification or supplement must be agreed to by the Majority Initial Supporting Noteholders, acting reasonably, and be contained in a written document that is: (i) filed with the Court and, if made following the Meetings, approved by the Court; and (ii) communicated to the Senior Noteholders and Shareholders in the manner required by the Court (if so required).

(b) Any amendment, restatement, modification or supplement to the CBCA Plan may be proposed by the Applicants, with the consent of the Majority Initial Supporting Noteholders, acting reasonably, at any time prior to or at the Meetings, with or without any prior notice or communication (other than as may be required under the Interim Order), and if so proposed and accepted at the Meetings, shall become part of the CBCA Plan for all purposes.

(c) Any amendment, restatement, modification or supplement to the CBCA Plan may be made following the Meetings by the Applicants, with the consent of the Majority Initial Supporting Noteholders, acting reasonably, without requiring filing with, or approval of, the Court, provided that it concerns a matter which is of an administrative nature and is required to better give effect to the implementation of the CBCA Plan and is not adverse to the financial or economic interests of any of the Secured Lenders, Senior Noteholders and Shareholders.

Pursuant to the terms of the Interim Order, and subject to the Support Agreement and the CBCA Plan, Corus is authorized to make such amendments, modifications or supplements to the Arrangement and the CBCA Plan as it may determine. See "Changes to the Arrangement".

BACKGROUND TO AND REASONS FOR THE RECAPITALIZATION TRANSACTION

Background

Corus is Canada’s largest independent pure play media and content company, and the operator of 25 specialty television networks, 15 conventional television stations and 36 radio stations. Corus employs nearly 2,300 employees across Canada. The Corporation is a longstanding leader in creating and commissioning original Canadian content and its Global News division is among the largest providers of local and national news in Canada across several television, radio and digital platforms. It also owns and operates a leading suite of premium specialty channels, such as Home, History, Flavour, and W networks, on linear and digital television platforms. Corus is a critical player in maintaining competition in the Canadian broadcast industry and an indispensable source of local news and expression.

Over the past several years, the Corporation’s financial results have been negatively impacted by global, industry-wide declines in advertising revenues associated with linear television. At the same time, costs for acquiring programming – which is critical to maintaining television audiences in Canada – have continued to increase due to a highly competitive market and the actions of certain dominant, vertically-integrated cable-telecommunications

71


companies. Advertising revenues have also been negatively impacted by the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, geopolitical and economic uncertainty, which adversely impacted supply chains and consumer behaviour, and by unusually lengthy strikes by both writers' and actors' unions in the U.S., which significantly impacted programming deliveries and, in turn, reduced linear television audience levels.

Corus' ability to compete in an evolving and highly competitive media marketplace has also long been hindered by continued inaction or delayed action to modernize federal broadcast law and regulations. The Corporation has continued to be subject to Canadian program spending and related requirements, while larger, competing foreign streaming services such as Netflix, Disney+ and Paramount+ have no comparable regulatory obligations. While Corus is proud to contribute to and represent the Canadian news and content industry, these spending requirements represent a significant portion of the Corporation's cost base, and the rate imposed by the regulator has not been meaningfully adjusted in a decade. It is anticipated that the Canadian broadcasting regime will improve over the next few years as new laws and policies are rolled out and implemented. In the short term, however, Corus must contend with the decline in linear television, adverse advertising market conditions, lingering pandemic impacts and significant increased competition from streaming service providers operating in Canada (who have not been required to contribute to the Canadian content ecosystem) all while having limited ability to alter its domestic programming and production cost base due to regulatory and market constraints.

Over the past several years, Corus has undertaken extensive efforts to rationalize its business in light of systemic changes in the Canadian media landscape.

On April 11, 2024, Corus implemented a formal review process to evaluate strategic alternatives (the "Strategic Review") and established a sub-committee comprised of independent directors of the Board (the "Independent Committee") to oversee and provide guidance to management as part of the Strategic Review of capital and liability management options. As part of the Strategic Review, Corus continued its previously announced initiatives to optimize its business, including by cutting costs to maximize profitability and rationalize its business. The Independent Committee's mandate includes, among other things, consideration of a range of strategic alternatives in addition to a potential sale, such as financing, restructuring or recapitalization transaction options. During the course of the process to reach the announcement of the Recapitalization Transaction, the Independent Committee has met, both with and without members of Corus management present on a regular basis. The Independent Committee provided and continues to provide important oversight and direction to members of Corus management with respect to the matters covered by its mandate and provides the Board with insights, analysis and recommendations. In connection with the Strategic Review, Corus retained Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt LLP ("Osler") to provide assistance with respect to the Corporation's indebtedness and KPMG to provide financial advisory and accounting assistance to the Corporation.

On June 7, 2024, Corus announced that Warner Bros. Discovery Inc. had decided not to renew key programming and trademark output agreements upon their expiry on December 31, 2024. This included termination of branding and content of key channels for Corus, including HGTV and Food Network. While Corus was able to make subsequent efforts to mitigate some of the impact of this non-renewal through rebranding and sourcing new content, the loss of content and branding contributed to Corus' financial challenges.

On June 17, 2024, Doug Murphy, President and Chief Executive Officer of Corus announced an early retirement from his role with the Corporation. On and effective the same date, Troy Reeb and John Gossling were appointed as Co-Chief Executive Officers.

Shortly thereafter, on July 9, 2024, the Corporation received a letter from Bennett Jones LLP ("Bennett Jones"), which confirmed that the firm had been retained to act as legal counsel to an ad-hoc group of Senior Noteholders (the "Ad Hoc Group"). Bennett Jones provided further correspondence to the Corporation on July 22, 2024, confirming that, as of the date of the letter, the Ad Hoc Group held approximately 66% of the 2028 Notes, 83% of the 2030 Notes, and 71% of the total Senior Notes issued.

In the months that followed, the Corporation, together with its advisors engaged in extensive discussions with the Ad Hoc Group and its advisors, Bennett Jones and Canaccord Genuity Corp. ("Canaccord"), who had been retained to provide financial advice to the Ad Hoc Group.

In early September 2024, the Corporation entered into an amendment to its Sixth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The amendment increased the maximum total debt to cash flow ratio required under the financial

72


covenants to 4.75:1.00 through to and including October 27, 2024 and provided the Corporation with the ability to request advances under the revolving facility to a certain limit. Other amendments were made to the Sixth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement in October 2024 including regarding the use of excess cash, the use of proceeds of asset dispositions, the incurrence of indebtedness and certain reporting requirements, all of which are posted on SEDAR+.

Shortly thereafter, as part of the Strategic Review, Corus retained Jefferies LLC (“Jefferies”) to provide financial advisory services to, among other things, assist in exploring and evaluating potential transaction alternatives, financing options, and disposition and sale opportunities, with the goal of optimizing the Company’s capital structure, creating more financial flexibility and preserving value. In order to pursue all possible restructuring solutions, Corus, with the assistance of Jefferies, explored three strategic and financial alternatives concurrently, including a potential sale process, funding alternatives and a potential recapitalization – these are described below. Following completion of the review process with the assistance of Jefferies and other professional legal and financial advisors, Corus decided that it is in the best interests of the Corporation and its stakeholders to proceed with the Recapitalization Transaction.

Sale Process

A formal sale process was commenced in October 2024, during which Jefferies initiated contact with 38 prospective investors or acquirors, of whom eight executed non-disclosure agreements. The first stage of the sale process involved facilitating initial buyer due diligence, with initial indications of interest due on January 16, 2025. Ultimately, no executable or acceptable proposals were received in respect of the sale process.

Capital Raising Solicitation Process

Concurrently, Corus, with the assistance of Jefferies, explored funding options through a formal capital raising solicitation process. This process was launched in December 2024, pursuant to which 54 prospective investors were contacted, of which 24 executed non-disclosure agreements. By January 16, 2025, Corus received three non-binding expressions of interest; however, the terms of the proposed financings did not provide a complete solution to the Company's overleveraged capital structure.

Recapitalization Negotiations

In addition to the sale process and funding process, Corus, with the assistance of Jefferies, assessed solutions with the Corporation's existing stakeholders, including options for recapitalization by the Senior Noteholders. This process has resulted in the current Recapitalization Transaction.

On October 25, 2024, after having commenced the processes noted above, Corus announced that the Sixth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement was amended and restated to, among other things, establish a new maturity date of March 18, 2026 and to reduce the total revolving facility commitment from $300 million to $150 million (with the ability for Corus to request advances up to $65 million). The Seventh Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also increased the maximum total debt to cash flow ratio required under the financial covenants to 5.75:1.00 through to and including December 31, 2024 and 7.25:1.00 from January 1, 2025 through to and including March 31, 2025.

Concurrent with the announcement, Corus disclosed its audited financial results for the fiscal year 2024, which indicated a continued decline in the performance of the business and included a going concern note which identified certain events and conditions that cast significant doubt on Corus' ability to continue as a going concern. The going concern note, which was added in the third quarter of fiscal 2024, stated that Corus may be unable to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Management of Corus confirmed they were pursuing a comprehensive plan to address the Corporation's balance sheet to permit execution of the business strategy. The Corporation's financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2025, disclosed in early January 2025, continued to reflect financial challenges of the business.

On March 21, 2025, the Seventh Amended and Restated Credit Agreement was further amended and restated, resulting in the Credit Agreement. In connection with the amendment and restatement, among other things, the limit on the revolving facility was reduced to $75 million from $150 million, the maturity dates of the facilities were extended to March 20, 2027 and the maximum total debt to cash flow ratio required under the financial covenants was increased to 9.50:1.00 through to and including December 31, 2025.

73


Subsequently, on April 4, 2025, the Corporation submitted a non-binding term sheet to the Ad Hoc Group regarding the Recapitalization Transaction. Discussions between Corus, the Ad Hoc Group and their respective advisors continued through the late spring as the parties assessed the viability of a recapitalization transaction.

On April 17, 2025, Corus announced the retirement of Heather Shaw as Executive Chair of the Corporation effective May 31, 2025. Ms. Shaw confirmed her intention to remain on the Board as non-executive Chair.

On June 4, 2025, Corus announced the appointment of John Gossling as Chief Executive Officer and (Interim) Chief Financial Officer.

Through the course of the late summer of 2025 and into the fall, Corus, together with its advisors, continued to negotiate the specific terms of the Recapitalization Transaction and the transaction documentation. The Independent Committee met to receive financial and legal advice regarding the Recapitalization Transaction, to review and evaluate the terms of the Recapitalization Transaction, the terms of the Support Agreement and proposed changes to the Credit Agreement, and to determine what recommendation to make to the Board with respect to the Recapitalization Transaction. Representatives of Jefferies provided a presentation regarding financial considerations of the Recapitalization Transaction to the holders of the Senior Notes, the Class A Voting Shares and Class B Non-Voting Shares. Representatives of Osler provided an overview of the duties and legal considerations of the directors in the context of the Recapitalization Transaction. After careful consideration, the Independent Committee unanimously resolved to recommend the Recapitalization Transaction to the Board.

The Board then unanimously resolved (i) that the Recapitalization Transaction is in the best interests of the Corporation, (ii) to approve the Recapitalization Transaction and the execution, delivery and performance of the Support Agreement and related transaction documents, and (iii) to recommend that holders of the Senior Notes, the Class A Voting Shares and Class B Non-Voting Shares vote in favour of the Recapitalization Transaction.

On October 29, 2025, Corus entered into the First Amending Agreement, which, among other things, increased the limit on the revolving facility to $125 million.

On November 2, 2025, Corus and the Initial Supporting Noteholders entered into the Support Agreement.

On November 3, 2025, Corus obtained the Preliminary Interim Order and announced the Recapitalization Transaction and its terms by way of press release.

Pursuant to the terms of the Support Agreement, on November 27, 2025 the previously agreed upon deadline for obtaining the Interim Order was extended to December 18, 2025 and on December 12, 2025, certain other previously agreed upon deadlines were extended, including an extension of the deadline for the Meetings Date to January 30, 2026.

On December 17, 2025, Corus obtained the Interim Order and announced receipt of the Interim Order in respect of the Recapitalization Transaction by way of press release.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

The Board carefully considered the strategic alternatives and has based recommendation on a number of relevant factors, including legal and financial advice from external advisors, consideration of the feedback and results from the Strategic Review, and the support of existing Senior Noteholders for the Recapitalization Transaction. Reasons are further detailed below but notably, the Board also considered that Shareholders would retain an interest in New Shares under the Recapitalization Transaction.

The Board has determined that the Recapitalization Transaction is in the best interests of the Corporation and its stakeholders and unanimously recommends that Senior Noteholders and Shareholders vote in favour of the Recapitalization Transaction. Future liquidity and operations of the Corporation are dependent on the ability of the Corporation to restructure its debt obligations and to generate sufficient operating cash flows to fund its ongoing operations. If the Corporation does not complete the realignment of its capital structure through the Recapitalization Transaction, it will be necessary to pursue other restructuring strategies. If the Recapitalization Transaction is not implemented pursuant to the CBCA Plan, the Corporation may effect the Recapitalization Transaction by way of an

74


alternative implementation method or proceeding, including by way of an Alternative Transaction and in recommending the Recapitalization Transaction, the Board considered the fact that there may be no recovery of any kind or amount available to the holders of Class A Voting Shares and Class B Non-Voting Shares of Corus in the event the Corporation proceeds to implement the Recapitalization Transaction by way of an Alternative Transaction. See “Support Agreement – Alternative Implementation Process”.

Reasons

Corus has determined that the Recapitalization Transaction is the only viable option available that provides a long-term solution to its current debt and balance sheet challenges and enables Corus to continue as a going concern. The following is a summary of the key factors, among others, which Corus, including its Board and management, reviewed and considered in relation to the Recapitalization Transaction:

(a) the Corporation’s extensive review of potential alternatives, including the sale process, the financing, restructuring or recapitalization transaction options;

(b) the fact that the processes described above did not yield any executable recapitalization or sale transactions on terms reasonably acceptable to Corus or its stakeholders;

(c) the liquidity challenges experienced by Corus, which required the negotiation of several time-limited amendments to the Sixth and Seventh Amended and Restated Credit Agreements;

(d) the challenging macroeconomic and operating environment in which Corus operates along with the significant debt obligations and interest payments owing under the indebtedness;

(e) the looming maturity dates that Corus was facing for significant debt obligations, including the facilities under the Seventh Amended and Restated Credit Agreement maturing on March 18, 2026 (extended to March 20, 2027 under the Credit Agreement) and the 2028 Notes and 2030 Notes due May 11, 2028 and February 28, 2030, respectively;

(f) the going concern note contained in Corus’ financial statements which identified certain events and conditions which “indicate material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt about Corus’ ability to continue as a going concern, and therefore Corus may be unable to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business”;

(g) the dependence of Corus’ business on relationships with various counterparties, including suppliers, who have expressed concern about Corus’ ability to continue carrying on business and satisfy its obligations, which beliefs could further undermine critical relationships to the detriment of Corus’ business and its stakeholders;

(h) the terms of the proposed Recapitalization Transaction;

(i) Senior Noteholders holding, on an aggregate basis, more than 74% of the outstanding Senior Notes as at December 24, 2025 having entered into the Support Agreement;

(j) the Supporting Shareholders including the Corporation’s largest holders of Class A Voting Shares, having entered into a voting support agreement in respect of the Recapitalization Transaction;

(k) the Secured Lenders are supportive of and have consented to the Recapitalization Transaction through the Amendment, Consent & Waiver to the Credit Agreement;

(l) the Corporation’s goals of enhancing its capital structure and improving its cash flow to enable it to implement its long-term growth strategy, maintaining stability and preserving value for the Corporation’s stakeholders;

75


(m) the Fairness Opinion concludes that, as of the date thereof, and subject to the qualifications set out therein, the Recapitalization Transaction, if implemented, is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Corporation and the Senior Noteholders and holders of Class A Voting Shares and Class B Non-Voting Shares would be in a better position, from a financial point of view, under the Recapitalization Transaction, than if the Corporation was liquidated; and

(n) the Recapitalization Transaction being subject to a determination of the Court that the terms of the Recapitalization Transaction are fair and reasonable, both procedurally and substantively.

After careful consideration of the above-noted factors and other factors following consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, management of Corus, the Independent Committee and the Board believe that the Recapitalization Transaction, if implemented will have the following benefits to Corus and its stakeholders:

(a) Corus will reduce its total third-party debt by approximately $500 million and extend the maturity dates for repayment by at least five years;

(b) Corus will reduce its initial annual cash interest obligations by up to $40 million;

(c) Except to the extent that such equity interests are extinguished post-Share Consolidation, Corus' Shareholders (other than the Supporting Shareholders) will retain an indirect interest in the form of New Shares representing approximately 1% of the issued and outstanding shares in the capital of Newco, as compared to likely not receiving any recovery of any kind or amount available if the Corporation were to pursue a restructuring under the CCAA;

(d) Certain shareholders will continue to benefit from holding shares in a public company as the New Shares will be listed on the TSX;

(e) Corus' obligations to employees, suppliers and customers will not be affected and will continue to be satisfied by the Corporation in the ordinary course; and

(f) the Corporation's realigned capital structure will provide it with a stronger financial foundation to foster the long-term success of Corus as a leading Canadian media company and Canada's largest independent broadcaster creating and delivering important, best in class local and national news, and highly popular Canadian and foreign content to audiences across Canada.

If the Recapitalization Transaction is not implemented pursuant to the CBCA Plan, the Corporation may effect the Recapitalization Transaction by way of an alternative implementation method or proceeding, including by way of an Alternative Transaction. See "Support Agreement – Alternative Implementation Process".

See "Risk Factors – Risks Relating to the Non-Implementation of the Recapitalization Transaction".

Representations and Warranties

The parties to the Support Agreement made a number of customary representations and warranties regarding themselves, the Support Agreement and the Recapitalization Transaction.

Alternative Implementation Process

In the event that it is determined by the Corporation and the Majority Initial Supporting Noteholders that the Recapitalization Transaction shall not be implemented pursuant to the CBCA Plan under the CBCA for any reason, then such parties will consider and negotiate in good faith and, if practicable, consummate the Recapitalization Transaction by way of an alternative implementation method or proceeding (including pursuant to a proceeding under the CCAA, as determined by the Corporation and the Majority Initial Supporting Noteholders) (an “Alternative Transaction”).

In the event that it is determined that an Alternative Transaction shall be pursued in accordance with the provisions of the Support Agreement, (i) the Corporation, the Company Advisors, the Initial Supporting Noteholders and the Initial Supporting Noteholder Advisors, shall work in good faith in respect of all matters necessary to structure and implement an Alternative Transaction, including with respect to the determination of any court process, if any, pursuant to which the Alternative Transaction would be effectuated, (ii) the structuring and implementation of the Alternative Transaction shall be acceptable to the Corporation and the Majority Initial Supporting Noteholders, each acting reasonably, and (iii) the terms of and obligations under the Support Agreement, including the Term Sheet, shall apply to an Alternative Transaction, with any necessary amendments as the structure and implementation of an Alternative Transaction may reasonably require, and with such other amendments as the Majority Initial Supporting Noteholders may reasonably request.

In the event that it is determined that an Alternative Transaction shall be pursued in accordance with the Support Agreement following a vote at the Meetings to approve the Recapitalization Transaction, the parties to the Support Agreement agree to seek such order as may be necessary to provide that such votes shall be applicable and binding in the alternative implementation method or proceeding in respect of the Alternative Transaction.

With respect to amendments to the Recapitalization Transaction and the CBCA Plan:

(a) the Corporation shall have the right, with the prior written consent of the Majority Initial Supporting Noteholders, in respect of the implementation of the Recapitalization Transaction, to have the Corporation rather than Newco issue the New Shares pursuant to the CBCA Plan and be the Canadian public company for the Corus Entities following the implementation of the CBCA Plan;

(b) the Corporation shall use commercially reasonable efforts to renegotiate the Key Leasing Agreements; provided that, (A) the terms and conditions of any renegotiated Key Leasing Agreements shall be acceptable to the Corporation and the Majority Initial Supporting Noteholders, each acting reasonably, and (B) if the Key Leasing Agreements cannot be renegotiated or otherwise addressed on terms and conditions that are acceptable to the Corporation the Majority Initial Supporting Noteholders, each acting reasonably, then Corus shall have the right, with the prior written consent of the Majority Initial Supporting Noteholders, to amend the CBCA Plan or pursue an Alternative Transaction, in either case, to treat the Key Leasing Agreements (and the claims against the Corus Entities thereunder) in a manner that is reasonably acceptable to the Corporation and the Majority Initial Supporting Noteholders, including to seek the transfer of the Key Leasing Agreements (and the claims against the Corus Entities thereunder) from the applicable Corus Entities to a corporation designated to acquire the Key Leasing Agreements (and the claims against the Corus Entities thereunder) pursuant to the CBCA Plan or an Alternative Transaction, which such corporation may be a direct or indirect subsidiary of Corus or ArrangeCo as determined by Corus, acting reasonably; and

84


(c) in the event that it is determined to amend the Recapitalization Transaction and the CBCA Plan in accordance with (a) or (b) above, as applicable, the Corporation and the Company Advisors, and the Initial Supporting Noteholders and the Initial Supporting Noteholder Advisors, shall work in good faith in respect of all matters necessary to structure, amend and implement the Recapitalization Transaction and CBCA Plan in order to effect the amendments contemplated by (a) and (b) above, as applicable.

Superior Transaction

Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Support Agreement or with the prior written consent of the Majority Initial Supporting Noteholders, the Corporation shall not, and shall not cause or allow any other Corus Entities, agents or representatives to, directly or indirectly, commence, consummate an agreement to commence, make, seek, solicit, assist, initiate, encourage, facilitate, propose, file, support, or initiate any discussions or negotiations regarding any alternative offer, restructuring, sale of assets, merger, workout, plan of arrangement or plan of reorganization other than the Recapitalization Transaction and the CBCA Plan.

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Support Agreement, in the event the Corporation receives a bona fide unsolicited written proposal in respect of an alternative transaction, it is permitted to negotiate and enter into a transaction in respect of any such proposal, if following receipt of legal and financial advice, and having regard to the extent of Senior Noteholder support that may exist for any such proposal, the requisite Senior Noteholder approvals, if any, that would be required to implement such proposal, and any approval required by the Secured Lender under the Credit Agreement, the Board determines in its good faith judgement, in the exercise of its fiduciary duties, that such proposal would reasonably be expected to result in a transaction more favourable to the Corporation and its stakeholders (including the Senior Noteholders), than the Recapitalization Transaction (a "Superior Transaction"). The Corporation shall disclose to the Initial Supporting Noteholder Advisors and, subject to the Initial Supporting Noteholders being subject to a confidentiality or non-disclosure agreement with the Corporation at such time, to such Initial Supporting Noteholders, as soon as reasonably practicable, and in any event within 48 hours, the receipt of any inquiry, proposal or offer that constitutes or may reasonably be expected to constitute or lead to a Superior Transaction (including the identity of the Person making such inquiry, proposal or offer), the material terms of any such proposal or offer, copies of all material or substantive documents received in connection therewith. The Corporation shall keep the Initial Supporting Noteholder Advisors promptly and fully informed of the status of developments, discussions and negotiations with respect to such inquiry, proposal or offer, including any material changes, modifications or other amendments thereto, provided that the Initial Supporting Noteholder Advisors and, if applicable, the Initial Supporting Noteholders to whom the information is provided shall keep such information confidential. For greater certainty, if any Initial Supporting Noteholders are not subject to a confidentiality or non-disclosure agreement with the Corporation at the applicable time, the Initial Supporting Noteholder Advisors shall not disclose to such Initial Supporting Noteholders any information regarding any Superior Transaction received by the Initial Supporting Noteholder Advisors.

If at any time following the execution of the Support Agreement and prior to the Final Order having been obtained, the Corporation receives a request for material non-public information, or to enter into discussions, from a Person that has put forth an unsolicited bona fide written proposal that did not result from a breach of the Support Agreement (and which has not been withdrawn) and the Corporation determines, in good faith after consultation with its outside financial and legal advisors, that such proposal constitutes or could reasonably be expected to constitute or lead to a Superior Transaction (disregarding, for the purposes of such determination, any due diligence condition to which such proposal is subject), then, subject to the Corporation having entered into a confidentiality agreement on market terms and the Corporation being in compliance with specific terms of the Support Agreement, the Corporation may (i) provide the Person making the proposal with access to information regarding the Corporation and the other Corus Entities that the Initial Supporting Noteholder Advisors had previously been, or are concurrently, provided with or given access to and / or (ii) enter into, participate in, facilitate and maintain discussion or negotiations with, and otherwise cooperate with or assist, the Person making such proposal with respect to such proposal.

(k) there shall not be in effect any preliminary or final decision, order or decree by a Governmental Entity, and no action or investigation shall have been announced or commenced by any Governmental Entity, in connection with the Recapitalization Transaction that restrains, impedes or prohibits the Recapitalization Transaction or any material part thereof or requires a material variation of the Recapitalization Transaction Terms that is not acceptable to the Corporation and the Majority Initial Supporting Noteholders, each acting reasonably;

(l) the terms of the incentive plan for management and key employees that may, at the discretion of the board of directors of Corus in place following the Effective Date, award up to 10% of the issued and outstanding New Shares as of the Effective Date to management and key employees of the Corus Entities on a fully diluted basis, shall be acceptable to the Corporation and the Majority Initial Supporting Noteholders, each acting reasonably;

Further, the obligations of the Supporting Noteholders to complete the Recapitalization Transaction are also conditional on, among other things, the absence of any Material Adverse Change from and after the date of the Support Agreement.

Termination

(a) The Support Agreement (and, for greater certainty, any and all Joinder Agreements) may be terminated by the Majority Initial Supporting Noteholders (provided that the Relevant Debt held by any Breaching Noteholder shall be excluded when determining whether the Majority Initial Supporting Noteholders are entitled to terminate the Support Agreement pursuant to the terms of the Support Agreement) as to all parties to the Support Agreement by providing written notice to the Corporation upon the occurrence and continuation of any of the following events:

(v) if the CBCA Proceedings are dismissed without the prior written consent of the Corporation, or a receiver, interim receiver, receiver and manager, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidator or administrator is appointed with respect to the Corporation, unless such appointment is made with the prior written consent of the Corporation; or

(d) The Support Agreement (and, for greater certainty, any and all Joinder Agreements) may be terminated by the Corporation (provided that the Corporation is not in default under the terms of the Support Agreement) as to a breaching Supporting Noteholder (the "Breaching Noteholder") only by providing written notice to such Supporting Noteholder upon the occurrence and continuation of any of the following events:

(i) if such Breaching Noteholder materially defaults in the performance or observance of, or materially fails to comply with, any term, condition, covenant or agreement set forth in the Support Agreement that, if capable of being cured, is not cured within five Business Days after receipt of written notice by the Corporation to such Breaching Noteholder of such default or failure; or

(ii) if any representation, warranty or acknowledgement of such Breaching Noteholder made in the Support Agreement shall prove untrue in any material respect as of the date when made that has not been cured (if capable of being cured) within five Business Days after receipt of written notice by the Corporation to such Breaching Noteholder of such breach,

90


and the Breaching Noteholder shall thereupon no longer be a Supporting Noteholder.

(e) In the event of any waiver, change, modification, or amendment to the Support Agreement that disparately, adversely and materially affects the recoveries and economic treatment of a Supporting Noteholder compared to the recoveries and economic treatment set forth in the Support Agreement, the Term Sheet and the CBCA Plan, then any Supporting Noteholder that objects to such waiver, change, modification or amendment may, within five Business Days of receiving notice of such waiver, change, modification or amendment, terminate such Supporting Noteholder’s obligations under the Support Agreement upon five Business Days’ notice to the Corporation and shall thereupon no longer be a Supporting Noteholder.

(f) The Support Agreement may be terminated at any time by mutual written consent of the Corporation and the Majority Initial Supporting Noteholders.

(g) The Support Agreement shall terminate automatically on the Effective Date upon implementation of the CBCA Plan.

(h) The Support Agreement, upon termination as to any party pursuant to the terms of the Support Agreement shall be of no further force and effect as to such party and such party shall be automatically and simultaneously released from its commitments, undertakings, and agreements under the Support Agreement, except for certain rights, agreements, commitments and obligations which shall survive the termination of the Support Agreement, and each party shall have the rights and remedies that it would have had if it had not entered into the Support Agreement and shall be entitled to take all actions that it would have been entitled to take had it not entered into the Support Agreement.

SHAREHOLDER SUPPORT AGREEMENT

On November 2, 2025, the Corporation entered into the Shareholder Support Agreement with certain Supporting Shareholders. Joinders to the Shareholder Support Agreement were executed by Supporting Shareholders on November 2, 2025, and additional joinders were subsequently executed by additional Supporting Shareholders on November 17, 2025.

The following is a summary of the principal terms of the Shareholder Support Agreement. This summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Shareholder Support Agreement, a copy of which is available under the Corporation’s profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca. Capitalized terms used in this Circular in respect of the Shareholder Support Agreement have the meanings given to them in the Shareholder Support Agreement.

Each Supporting Shareholder covenanted and agreed, from the date of the Shareholder Support Agreement until the termination of the Shareholder Support Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof:

(a) to use commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Corporation to successfully complete the Recapitalization Transaction upon and subject to the terms and conditions of the Shareholder Support Agreement;

(b) to vote (or cause to be voted) all of (A) its Relevant Shareholder Shares, and (B) its Relevant Shareholder Debt and Relevant Shareholder Notes, if and to the extent hereafter acquired, in each case, in connection with the Recapitalization Transaction and the CBCA Plan:

(i) in favour of the approval, consent, ratification and adoption of the Recapitalization Transaction and the CBCA Plan (and any actions required in furtherance thereof) in accordance with the terms herein; and

(ii) against the approval, consent, ratification and adoption of any matter or transaction that, if approved, consented to, ratified or adopted could reasonably be expected to delay,

91


challenge, frustrate or hinder the consummation of the Recapitalization Transaction and the CBCA Plan,

and to tender its proxy for any such vote in compliance with any deadlines set forth in the Interim Order or execute, if requested by the Corporation, any written consent in lieu of a meeting to evidence its approval, consent, ratification and adoption of the Recapitalization Transaction and the CBCA Plan in accordance with the Supporting Shareholder obligations in the Shareholder Support Agreement;

(c) to support, at the expense of the Corporation, the Corus Entities in obtaining approval of the Recapitalization Transaction and the CBCA Plan by the Court in the CBCA Proceedings and all other applicable orders in connection therewith on terms consistent with the Term Sheet, which support shall not require the attendance at any hearing before the Court in the CBCA Proceedings or the preparation or filing of separate materials with the Court (unless the Corporation reasonably determines that such Supporting Shareholder should do so at the expense of the Corporation);

(d) that, if such Supporting Shareholder has a nominee serving on the board of directors of the Corporation, it shall cause such nominee, as of the Effective Date, to agree to relinquish its entitlement to further employment-related benefits, including pension benefits; provided that, for greater certainty, the foregoing shall not affect the rights of any current or former employee of the Corus Entities, who is not a current nominee of a Supporting Shareholder on the board of directors of the Corporation, to any employment-related benefits, including pension benefits;

(e) to execute those documents and perform such commercially reasonable acts that are required to satisfy all of its obligations under the Shareholder Support Agreement;

(f) not to propose, file, solicit, vote for or otherwise support any alternative offer, restructuring, liquidation, workout or plan of compromise or arrangement or reorganization of or for the Corporation, including any other proceeding under the CBCA, other legislation or otherwise, except with the prior written consent of the Corporation;

(g) not to (directly or indirectly), sell, transfer, lend, pledge, assign or otherwise transfer any of its Relevant Shareholder Shares or any interest therein (other than to the Corporation pursuant to the CBCA Plan), or its Relevant Shareholder Debt and Relevant Shareholder Notes if and to the extent acquired following the date of the Shareholder Support Agreement or any interest therein, unless the transferee agrees to execute a joinder to the Shareholder Support Agreement in a form and substance satisfactory to the Corporation, acting reasonably, except as required by law; and provided further that to the extent the transferor is entitled to vote or provide its consent to the Recapitalization Transaction and the CBCA Plan, it votes all its Relevant Shareholder Shares subject to the transfer or provides a consent in favour of such matters prior to effecting the transfer, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Shareholder Support Agreement. For clarity, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the preceding sentence shall not prohibit a transfer of the Relevant Shareholder Shares to any member of the Shaw Family Group, including, for greater certainty, as the result of the winding-up or amalgamation of a corporation that is a member of the Shaw Family Group or a transfer to a new corporation that is, after formation, a member of the Shaw Family Group; provided that, as a pre-condition to such transfer, the transferee shall have agreed in writing in form and on terms satisfactory to the Corus, acting reasonably, to become bound by the Shareholder Support Agreement in the same manner as the Supporting Shareholder thereunder (if not already so bound);

(h) to the extent that any Supporting Shareholder acquires additional Shares or acquires Senior Notes after the date hereof, such additional Shares and/or Senior Notes shall be automatically subject to the Shareholder Support Agreement, and such Supporting Shareholder shall promptly notify the Corporation in writing of any such acquisition and shall vote (or cause to be voted) such additional Shares and/or Senior Notes, as applicable, in a manner consistent with the Shareholder Support Agreement and execute any such additional agreements or addendums to the Shareholder Support

92


Agreement as may be reasonably required by the Corporation in connection with such additional Shares and/or Senior Notes;

(i) not to, directly or indirectly, object to, delay or take any other action (or omit to take any action) that is inconsistent with its obligations under the Shareholder Support Agreement or that would reasonably be expected to frustrate, hinder, delay or interfere with the consideration, acceptance or implementation of the Recapitalization Transaction and the CBCA Plan;

(j) not to, directly or indirectly, exercise any rights of dissent or appraisal with respect to the Recapitalization Transaction or the CBCA Plan; and

(k) subject to the terms of the Shareholder Support Agreement, to the Corporation disclosing the existence and terms of the Shareholder Support Agreement with respect to any public disclosure, including, without limitation, in any press releases and court materials relating to the Recapitalization Transaction, and to the filing by the Corporation of the Shareholder Support Agreement on SEDAR+ and with the Court in connection with the CBCA Proceedings.

The Corporation covenanted and agreed, from the date of the Shareholder Support Agreement until the termination of the Shareholder Support Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof:

(a) subject to the Support Agreement, to use commercially reasonable efforts to co-operate with the Supporting Shareholders in structuring, planning and implementing the Recapitalization Transaction pursuant to the CBCA Plan in a tax efficient manner for all parties; provided however that:

(i) the Corus Entities shall not be required to contravene any applicable laws, their respective organizational documents or any material contract to which they are a party;

(ii) the implementation of the Recapitalization Transaction shall not be delayed, impaired or impeded and shall be implemented in accordance with the timelines and milestones contemplated by the Term Sheet;

(iii) the Corus Entities shall not be obligated to take any action that could result in taxes being imposed on, or any adverse tax or other consequences being suffered by, any of the Corus Entities or the Senior Noteholders that would be incrementally greater than the taxes or other consequences that would be borne by such party in connection with the transactions contemplated in the Term Sheet; and

(iv) the Corus Entities shall not be liable for the failure of any Supporting Shareholder to benefit from any anticipated tax efficiency as a result of the Recapitalization Transaction;

(b) as part of seeking approval from the Court of the CBCA Plan, to seek the approval of a release in favour of the Supporting Shareholders, the SFLT, the Shaw Family Group and their respective current and former directors, officers, employees, auditors, financial advisors, legal counsel and agents, which is satisfactory to the SFLT, acting reasonably (the "Supporting Shareholders' Release"); and

(c) in good faith, to pursue, support and use commercially reasonable efforts to complete and implement the Recapitalization Transaction and the transactions contemplated herein in accordance with and subject to the Support Agreement and the Shareholder Support Agreement, as applicable, on or prior to the Outside Date.

Each Supporting Shareholder's obligation to vote in favour of the CBCA Plan is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, each of which may be waived, in whole or in part, by the SFLT including:

(a) the Shareholder Support Agreement shall not have been terminated;

93


(b) the CBCA Plan proposed by the Corporation to be voted upon at the meetings of affected securityholders to vote on the CBCA Plan to be held on the Meetings Date shall (i) include the Supporting Shareholders' Release; and (ii) provide that all Shares held by any of the Supporting Shareholders shall be cancelled without any payment and without any further formality;

(c) the Corporation shall have complied in all material respects with each of its covenants and obligations in the Shareholder Support Agreement to be performed by it prior to the Meetings Date, and the representations and warranties of the Corporation set forth in the Shareholder Support Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the Meetings Date with the same force and effect as if made at and as of the Meetings Date (or, in the case of representations and warranties that are given as of a specified date, as of such specified date), subject to specified exceptions;

(d) the existing directors and officers' insurance coverage of the Corporation and the indemnification obligations of the Corus Entities shall not have been amended, supplemented or otherwise varied in any manner that is adverse to any of its managers, directors or officers; and

(e) there shall not be in effect any preliminary or final decision, order or decree by a Governmental Entity, and no action or investigation shall have been announced or commenced by any Governmental Entity, in connection with the Recapitalization Transaction that restrains, impedes or prohibits (or if granted, could reasonably be expected to restrain, impede or prohibit) the Recapitalization Transaction or any material part thereof, or that requires a material variation of the terms of the Shareholder Support Agreement that is not acceptable to the Corporation and the SFLT, acting reasonably.

The Shareholder Support Agreement may be terminated:

(a) at any time upon the mutual written agreement of the parties to the Shareholder Support Agreement;

(b) by either the Supporting Shareholder or the Corporation upon delivery of written notice of termination if:

(i) any of the representations and warranties of any Supporting Shareholder or the Corporation, as applicable, in the Shareholder Support Agreement are not true and correct in all material respects;

(ii) any Supporting Shareholder or the Corporation, as applicable, shall not have complied with any term, condition, covenant or agreement set forth in the Shareholder Support Agreement in all material respects; or

(iii) the Corporation publicly recommends, enters into a written agreement (other than a confidentiality or non-disclosure agreement) to pursue, or proposes, supports or files a motion or pleading seeking approval of, a Superior Transaction or Alternative Transaction, provided that in the case of (i) or (ii) above, such breach remains uncured for five (5) business days after receipt by the applicable party of notice of the breach; or

(c) automatically upon the earliest of (i) the occurrence of the Outside Date (as same may be extended in accordance with the terms of the Support Agreement); (ii) the occurrence of the Effective Date; (iii) October 31, 2026; and (iv) the termination of the Support Agreement.

If the Shareholder Support Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, the Supporting Shareholders shall be entitled to withdraw any form of proxy, VIF or power of attorney which it may have given in respect of the Relevant Shareholder Shares and each party to the Shareholder Support Agreement shall have the rights and remedies that it would have had if it had not entered into the Shareholder Support Agreement and shall be entitled to take all actions that it would have been entitled to take had it not entered into the Shareholder Support Agreement. Upon the termination of the Shareholder Support Agreement, any and all votes submitted in respect of the CBCA Plan will be

94


deemed to be withdrawn and shall have no effect in any other restructuring proceeding involving Corus and/or the other Corus Entities.

Further to the Shareholder Support Agreement, the CBCA Plan provides that all Shares held by the Supporting Shareholders will be surrendered and cancelled without any payment and without any further formality.

ALTERNATIVE IMPLEMENTATION PROCESS

Pursuant to the Support Agreement, in the event that it is determined by the Corporation and the Majority Initial Supporting Noteholders that the Recapitalization Transaction shall not be implemented pursuant to the CBCA Plan under the CBCA for any reason, then such parties will consider and negotiate in good faith and, if practicable, consummate the Recapitalization Transaction by way of an alternative implementation method or proceeding, which may include proceedings under the CCAA. In the event the Recapitalization Transaction is not successful, the value available to stakeholders may be significantly less and there is a risk that any proceeds available for distribution to stakeholders will be paid in priority to the Secured Lenders and the holders of Senior Notes, with the remaining proceeds, if any, paid to the Shareholders. See "Support Agreement".

In the event that the Corporation proceeds to implement the Recapitalization Transaction by way of an Alternative Transaction, it is unlikely that there will be any recovery of any kind or amount available to the holders of Class A Voting Shares and Class B Non-Voting Shares of Corus, and the Class A Voting Shares and Class B Non-Voting Shares of Corus may be cancelled for no consideration.

TREATMENT OF EQUITY COMPENSATION AWARDS

Pursuant to the CBCA Plan, and in accordance with their terms, all Stock Options, whether vested or unvested, outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be adjusted to become exercisable for that number of New Shares (on a post-Consolidation basis) equal to one divided by the Consolidation Ratio, rather than a Share, with a corresponding adjustment to the exercise price therefor.

All PSUs, RSUs, DSUs and all rights of participants pursuant to the ESPP will remain outstanding and will be adjusted, as applicable, in accordance with their terms to reflect the exchange of Class B Non-Voting Shares and the Share Consolidation.

Pursuant to the CBCA Plan, any remaining Legacy Equity Interests will be terminated and cancelled without any payment or consideration therefor, and all such Legacy Equity Interests, together with any documents or instruments governing or having been created or granted in connection with such Legacy Equity Interests, will be terminated and cancelled.

MANAGEMENT INCENTIVE PLAN

Pursuant to the Support Agreement, it is expected that the Newco Board will adopt a management incentive plan permitting the granting of various types of equity awards, including stock options, share appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted share units, deferred share units and other share-based awards, to management and key employees of Newco and its subsidiaries on terms determined by the Newco Board (or the applicable compensation committee) (the "Management Incentive Plan").

It is expected that the aggregate number of New Shares to be issued pursuant to the Management Incentive Plan will equal 10% of the pro forma New Shares outstanding on a fully diluted basis from time to time.

As the Newco Board has not yet been established, the decision to implement the Management Incentive Plan has been deferred and will be considered at a date in the future by the Newco Board following the Effective Date.

The Support Agreement grants the Newco Board (or the Board, as applicable) discretion to design and implement the Management Incentive Plan as at the Effective Date, however the Board decided to defer the design and implementation of the Management Incentive Plan until the formation of the Newco Board following the Effective Date.

95


Any Management Incentive Plan adopted by the Newco Board will be subject to TSX review and approval by the holders of the New Shares in accordance with the requirements of the TSX including Newco receiving shareholder approval at a meeting of shareholders for the Management Incentive Plan pursuant to Section 613(a) of the TSX Company Manual. Newco will not issue any awards pursuant to the Management Incentive Plan until such approvals have been received, except in accordance with Section 613(e) of the TSX Company Manual.

CERTAIN REGULATORY AND OTHER MATTERS RELATING TO THE RECAPITALIZATION TRANSACTION

Securities Laws Matters – Canada

The following is a brief summary of certain Canadian securities law considerations applicable to the Recapitalization Transaction. Corus is a reporting issuer in each of the provinces of Canada and the Class B Non-Voting Shares are currently listed on the TSX under the symbol "CJR.B". As such, Corus is, among other things, subject to certain applicable Canadian Securities Laws, including MI 61-101.

Prospectus Exemption

The issuance of the New Shares, the New First Lien Notes, the New Second Lien Notes and the Warrants pursuant to the Recapitalization Transaction will be exempt from the prospectus and registration requirements under Canadian Securities Laws. As a consequence of these exemptions, certain protections, rights and remedies provided by Canadian Securities Laws, including statutory rights of rescission or damages, will not be available in respect of such new securities to be issued pursuant to the Recapitalization Transaction. The New Shares, the New First Lien Notes, the New Second Lien Notes and the Warrants issued pursuant to the Recapitalization Transaction will generally be "freely tradeable" under Canadian Securities Laws if the following conditions (as specified in NI 45-102) are satisfied: (i) the trade is not a "control distribution" (as defined in NI 45-102); (ii) no unusual effort is made to prepare the market or to create a demand for the shares that are the subject of the trade; (iii) no extraordinary commission or consideration is paid to a person or company in respect of the trade; and (iv) if the selling shareholder is an insider or officer of the issuer, the selling shareholder has no reasonable grounds to believe that the issuer is in default of securities legislation.

Multilateral Instrument 61-101

The Corporation is a reporting issuer in all the provinces of Canada and, accordingly, is subject to applicable Canadian Securities Laws of such provinces, including MI 61-101.

Among other things, the securities regulatory authorities in certain of the provinces of Canada have adopted MI 61-101 to regulate transactions which raise the potential for conflicts of interest, including issuer bids, insider bids, related party transactions and business combinations, and to ensure that all securityholders are treated in a manner that is fair and is perceived to be fair in connection with such transactions.

MI 61-101 is intended to regulate certain transactions to ensure equality of treatment among securityholders, generally requiring enhanced disclosure, approval by a majority of securityholders (excluding certain interested or related parties and their joint actors) and, in certain instances, independent formal valuations and approval and oversight of the transaction by a special committee of independent directors. The protections of MI 61-101 apply to, among other transactions, "business combinations" (as defined in MI 61-101), in which the interest of holders of equity securities may be terminated without their consent and where a "related party" (as defined in MI 61-101) (i) would, as a consequence of the transaction, directly or indirectly acquire the issuer or the business of the issuer, or combine with the issuer, through an amalgamation, arrangement or otherwise, whether alone or with joint actors, (ii) is a party to a "connected transaction" (as defined in MI 61-101) to the transaction, or (iii) is entitled to receive, directly or indirectly, as a consequence of the transaction, (A) consideration per equity security that is not identical in amount and form to the entitlement of the general body of holders in Canada of securities of the same class, or (B) a "collateral benefit" (as defined in MI 61-101). The Recapitalization Transaction will not constitute a "business combination" under subsections (i), (ii) or (iii)(A) above as the transactions will not result in the acquisition of Corus or its business by a related party or a combination between Corus and a related party, there are no related parties that are party to a "connected transaction" to the Recapitalization Transactions and all holders in Canada of equity securities of Corus of the same class will receive identical consideration.

96


Directors and senior officers of the Corporation and its subsidiaries are “related parties” for the purposes of MI 61-101. A “collateral benefit” includes any benefit that a related party of the Corporation is entitled to receive, directly or indirectly, as a consequence of the Recapitalization Transaction, including without limitation, an increase in salary, a lump sum payment, a payment for surrendering securities or other enhancements in benefits related to past or future services as an employee, director or consultant of the Corporation. However, MI 61-101 excludes from the meaning of collateral benefit a payment per security that is identical in amount and form to the entitlement of the general body of holders in Canada of securities of the same class, as well as certain benefits to a related party received solely in connection with the related party’s services as an employee, director or consultant of an issuer, of an affiliated entity of such issuer or of a successor to the business of such issuer where (a) the benefit is not conferred for the purpose, in whole or in part, of increasing the value of the consideration paid to the related party for securities relinquished under the transaction; (b) the conferring of the benefit is not, by its terms, conditional on the related party supporting the transaction in any manner; (c) full particulars of the benefit are disclosed in the disclosure document for the transaction; and (d) either (i) at the time the transaction is agreed to, the related party and his or her associated entities beneficially own, or exercise control or direction over, less than 1% of the outstanding securities of each class of equity securities of the issuer (the “1% Exemption”), or (ii) the related party discloses to an independent committee of the issuer the amount of consideration that the related party expects to be beneficially entitled to receive, under the terms of the transaction, in exchange for the equity securities the related party beneficially owns; and the independent committee acting in good faith determines that the value of the benefit, net of any offsetting costs to the related party, is less than 5% of the value of the consideration the related party will receive pursuant to the terms of the transaction for the equity securities beneficially owned by the related party, and the independent committee’s determination is disclosed in the disclosure document for the transaction.

To the knowledge of the Corporation, other than Ms. Heather Shaw and Ms. Julie Shaw, who each own more than 1% of the outstanding Class B Non-Voting Shares, every other director and senior officer of the Corporation meets the requirements of the 1% Exemption. Accordingly, any benefits to directors or officers (other than Ms. Shaw and Ms. Shaw) will not constitute a “collateral benefit” for purposes of MI 61-101.

As the 1% Exemption is not available in respect of Ms. H. Shaw and Ms. J. Shaw, the Independent Committee reviewed and considered the number of Shares held by each of them and the benefits that they expect to receive pursuant to the Recapitalization Transaction and determined that neither Ms. H. Shaw nor Ms. J. Shaw will receive any benefits as a result of the Recapitalization Transaction. Specifically, each of Ms. H. Shaw and Ms. J. Shaw are party to the Shareholder Support Agreement which provides that the Shares held by them (together with the Shares held by all other Supporting Shareholders) will be surrendered and cancelled without any payment and without any further formality. As a result, neither Ms. H. Shaw nor Ms. J. Shaw will receive any “collateral benefits” within the meaning of MI 61-101 and the Recapitalization Transaction will not constitute a “business combination” for purposes of MI 61-101.

The Corporation was not required to obtain a formal valuation under MI 61-101 as no “interested party” (as defined in MI 61-101) is, as a consequence of the Recapitalization Transaction, directly or indirectly, acquiring the Corporation or its business or combining with the Corporation, whether alone or with joint actors, and there is no “connected transaction” that would qualify as a “related party transaction” (as defined in MI 61-101) for which the Corporation would be required to obtain a formal valuation. Neither the Corporation nor any director or executive officer of the Corporation, after reasonably inquiry, has knowledge of any “prior valuation” (as defined in MI 61-101) in respect of the Corporation that has been made in the 24 months before the date of this Circular and no bona fide prior offer (as contemplated in MI 61-101) that relates to the transactions contemplated by the Recapitalization Transaction has been received by the Corporation during the 24 months prior to the date of the Recapitalization Transaction Agreement.

Exemption from Take-Over Bid and Early Warning Reporting Requirements

Corus and Newco intend to apply to the Ontario Securities Commission (“OSC”) for an exemption from certain requirements under applicable Canadian securities laws to ensure that the CVS and VVS are treated for these purposes on a combined basis. These include, among others applicable take-over bid and related early warning reporting requirements under Canadian securities laws. Newco’s dual class share capital structure is being implemented to ensure compliance with the Canadian ownership rules under the Broadcasting Act which Newco will become subject to upon closing of the Recapitalization Transaction.

97


Pursuant to the application by Newco, Newco will request that the securities regulatory authorities in each of the provinces of Canada grant Newco an exemptive relief decision (the “Decision”) from, among other things: (i) applicable take-over bid requirements, such that those requirements would only apply to an offer to acquire 20% or more of the outstanding VVS and CVS of Newco on a combined basis, and (ii) applicable early warning reporting requirements, such that those requirements would only apply to an acquirer who acquires or holds beneficial ownership of, or control or direction over, 10% or more of the outstanding VVS and CVS of Newco on a combined basis (or 5% in the case of acquisitions during a take-over bid). Without exemptive relief, Newco Shareholders were subject to these requirements based on the number of New Shares outstanding solely of the class held by the Newco Shareholder, a number that can vary without notice due to automatic conversions, and which is in some respects not indicative of the Newco Shareholder’s real ownership level.

The exemptive relief sought is based on the fact that the CVS and VVS have identical terms except for the foreign ownership voting limitations applicable to the VVS. The relief sought also takes into account the automatic conversion feature of Newco’s dual class share structure, whereby, although an investor may acquire either class of New Shares, the class of shares ultimately held by an investor is a function of the investor’s Canadian or non-Canadian status. As a result, the number of New Shares outstanding in each class varies while the aggregate number of New Shares of both classes remains unchanged, giving Newco Shareholders little certainty as to the number of New Shares outstanding in each class at any given time. There may be from time to time a significantly smaller public float and a significantly smaller trading volume of VVS (compared to the public float and trading volume of CVS). Together, these considerations make it more difficult for investors, particularly non-Canadian investors, to acquire New Shares in the ordinary course without the apprehension of inadvertently triggering the takeover bid rules and early warning requirements (considering the application of such rules to the acquisition of shares of a class) and could potentially restrict the interest of non-Canadian investors in New Shares for reasons unrelated to their investment objectives.

OSC Rule 56-501

OSC Rule 56-501 regulates the creation and distribution of “restricted shares” by reporting issuers governed by Ontario securities law. The definition of “restricted shares” includes equity shares to which are attached voting rights exercisable in all circumstances, irrespective of the number or percentage of shares owned, that are less, on a per share basis, than the voting rights attaching to any other shares of an outstanding class of shares of the issuer. OSC Rule 56-501 provides, among other things, that the prospectus exemptions under Ontario securities law are not available in respect of a “stock distribution” (as defined in OSC Rule 56-501), unless either: (i) the “stock distribution” or (ii) the “reorganization” (as defined in OSC Rule 56-501) that resulted in the creation of the “restricted shares”, received “minority approval” in addition to any other required security holder approval. “Minority approval” means approval by a majority of the votes cast by holders of voting shares and, if required by applicable corporate law, by a majority of the votes cast by holders of a class of shares each voting separately as a class, other than, in both cases, the votes attaching at the time to securities held directly or indirectly by: (A) “affiliates” (as defined in the Securities Act (Ontario)) of the issuer; or (B) “control persons” (as defined in OSC Rule 56-501) of the issuer.

The VVS are being distributed pursuant to the Recapitalization Transaction and constitute restricted securities for purposes of OSC Rule 56-501. The minority approval contemplated by OSC Rule 56-501 will be obtained by Newco prior to the Effective Date.

Securities Laws Matters – United States

The following discussion is a general overview of certain requirements of U.S. federal securities laws applicable to the issuance of New Notes, New Shares and Warrants pursuant to the Recapitalization Transaction. All recipients in the United States of New Notes, New Shares and Warrants pursuant to the Recapitalization Transaction are urged to consult with their own legal counsel to ensure that any subsequent resale or exercise, as applicable, of such securities comply with applicable U.S. securities laws.

Registration Requirements of the 1933 Act

The New Notes, New Shares and Warrants to be issued to Senior Noteholders and Shareholders, as applicable, under the CBCA Plan in exchange for their outstanding securities of Corus have not been and will not be registered under the 1933 Act. All such securities are being issued in reliance on the exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act pursuant to Section (3)(a)(10) thereof, on the basis of the approval of the Court, which will consider,

98


among other things, the procedural and substantive fairness of the Recapitalization Transaction to the persons affected, and in reliance on corresponding exemptions from registration or qualification requirements under applicable state securities laws. Section 3(a)(10) of the 1933 Act exempts from registration securities that are being issued in exchange for outstanding securities, claims or property interests where the terms and conditions of such issuance and exchange are approved, after a hearing upon the fairness of such terms and conditions at which all persons to whom it is proposed to issue securities in such exchange have the right to appear, by a court or by a governmental authority expressly authorized by law to grant such approval. Accordingly, the Final Order will, if granted, constitute a basis for the exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act with respect to the issuance of the New Notes, New Shares and Warrants pursuant to the Recapitalization Transaction.

Resales of Securities Issued Pursuant to Section 3(a)(10) under the 1933 Act

Persons who are not affiliates of Newco after the Recapitalization Transaction and who have not been affiliates of Corus or Newco within 90 days of the date of such a resale may resell the New Notes, New Shares and Warrants that they receive pursuant to the Recapitalization Transaction without restriction under the 1933 Act. A person who was, is or will be an "affiliate" of Corus or Newco, as applicable, within 90 days of the date of a resale of New Notes, New Shares or Warrants will be subject to certain restrictions on resale imposed by Rule 144 under the 1933 Act on resales of securities by an affiliate of the issuer. As defined in Rule 144 under the 1933 Act, an "affiliate" of an issuer is a person that, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the issuer and may include certain officers and directors of such issuer as well as principal shareholders of such issuer. Any resale of New Notes, New Shares or Warrants by such an affiliate (or, if applicable, such a former affiliate) will be subject to the registration requirements of the 1933 Act and applicable state securities laws, absent an exemption therefrom. Subject to certain limitations, such affiliates (and such former affiliates) may immediately resell their New Notes, New Shares and Warrants outside the United States without registration under the 1933 Act pursuant to Regulation S under the 1933 Act. Such securities may also be resold in transactions in compliance with Rule 144 under the 1933 Act, if available.

Exercise of Warrants

The New Shares underlying the Warrants have not and will not be registered under the 1933 Act or any state securities laws. The exercise of Warrants for underlying New Shares may only be completed pursuant to an exemption or exclusion from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act.

TSX Listing

The Class B Non-Voting Shares are currently listed on the TSX under the symbol "CJR.B". Corus and Newco intend to apply for TSX Conditional Listing Approval of the New Shares on the TSX upon completion of the Recapitalization Transaction. It is a condition to completion of the Recapitalization Transaction that the New Shares be listed on the TSX. Listing will be subject to the satisfaction of the requirements of the TSX. It is expected that the CVS and VVS will be listed and traded under a single CUSIP. Pursuant to the requirements of the TSX Company Manual, Shareholder approval for the transaction is required.

Pursuant to the Recapitalization Transaction, and in accordance with the CBCA Plan, based on shares outstanding as of December 24, 2025, it is expected that:

a) 457,000 New Shares will be issued in satisfaction of the exchange of outstanding Class A Voting Shares (after giving effect to the cancellation of shares held by Supporting Shareholders);
b) 185,533,297 New Shares will be issued in satisfaction of the exchange of outstanding Class B Non-Voting Shares (after giving effect to the cancellation of shares held by Supporting Shareholders); and
c) 18,413,039,403 New Shares will be issued in partial satisfaction of the exchange of outstanding Senior Notes, which will represent 99% of the pro forma outstanding New Shares of Newco.

As a result, an aggregate of 18,599,029,700 New Shares are expected to be issued (after giving effect to the cancellation of shares held by Supporting Shareholders but before giving effect to the Share Consolidation).

99


As of December 24, 2025, the Corporation has 3,356,994 Class A Voting Shares outstanding and 196,083,164 Class B Non-Voting Shares outstanding for a total of 199,440,158 Shares outstanding. Based on the outstanding shares of the Corporation as of December 24, 2025, the Recapitalization Transaction is expected to result in the issuance of approximately 18.6 billion New Shares on a pre-Share Consolidation basis. After giving effect to the Share Consolidation, there are expected to be approximately 37,193,775 New Shares outstanding taking into account the cancellation of fractional New Shares held by existing Shareholders that would hold less than one New Share following the Share Consolidation. Based on that figure, Newco would issue an aggregate of approximately 4,132,642 Warrants. Together, the issuance of the New Shares and New Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants would represent an increase of 10.268% of the currently issued and outstanding Shares.

The actual number of New Shares and Warrants to be issued will be calculated as of the Effective Date and the number of issued and outstanding New Shares following completion of the Share Consolidation will be affected by the termination of fractional interests. As such, the actual number of New Shares outstanding following completion of the Recapitalization Transaction cannot be known at this time.

TSX Approval Matters

The TSX regulates the issuance of listed securities such as the issuance of the New Shares pursuant to the Recapitalization Transaction. The TSX requires securityholder approval in a number of instances, including where: (i) a transaction materially affects control of the listed issuer; (ii) the issuance of listed securities will exceed 25% of the issued and outstanding securities and the price per security is less than the market price; and (iii) the issue price per listed security is lower than the discount to the market price permitted by the TSX.

As a result, the Recapitalization Transaction requires securityholder approval under Sections 604(a)(i), 607(e), 607(g)(i) and 608(a) of the TSX Company Manual as:

(a) the Recapitalization Transaction will materially affect control of the Corporation as, based on holdings as of December 24, 2025: (1) the Major Noteholder would, assuming its current holdings remain unchanged from its holdings as of the Record Date, be expected to exercise control or have direction over more than 20% of the outstanding New Shares; and (2) SFLT will no longer hold any Shares or New Shares, in each case, upon completion of the Recapitalization Transaction;

(b) the number of New Shares to be issued pursuant to the Recapitalization Transaction will exceed 25% of the Corporation's currently issued and outstanding Shares. As the Recapitalization Transaction provides for a fixed number of New Shares to be issued in exchange for the outstanding Senior Notes and Shares at the Effective Time, there is no guarantee that the New Shares will be issued at "market price" (as defined in the TSX Company Manual). As a result of the New Shares not having a fixed issue price, the TSX will deem the issuance of New Shares to be made at a discount to the market price; and

(c) the final issue price of the New Shares and the Warrants, as determined on the Effective Date, will exceed the maximum discount permitted by the TSX Company Manual,

(collectively, the "TSX Approval Matters").

The policies of the TSX require that the TSX Approval Matters be approved by a simple majority of the votes cast by "minority" voting shareholders. For the Corporation, that represents holders of Class A Voting Shares other than any interested holders of Class A Voting Shares, represented in person or by proxy and voted at the Meeting. To the knowledge of the Corporation, the Senior Noteholders do not hold any Class A Voting Shares, therefore there are no interested holders of Class A Voting Shares whose votes would be excluded. By voting in favour of the Shareholders' Arrangement Resolution, holders of Class A Voting Shares will also be voting in favour of the TSX Approval Matters.

Restricted Securities

Pursuant to Section 624 of the TSX Company Manual, a listed company is generally required to obtain "minority approval" in connection with the issuance of "restricted securities". The issuance of the VVS pursuant to the Recapitalization Transaction would generally require "minority approval" pursuant to the TSX Company Manual,

100


however, the TSX has determined that such approval is not required since it has conditionally agreed to allow the CVS and VVS to be listed and traded under a single CUSIP.

Key Regulatory Approvals

The completion of the Recapitalization Transaction is conditional on CRTC Approval, ISED Approval and Competition Act Approval, if required. The parties have agreed that no approvals are required from ISED in connection with the Recapitalization Transaction.

CRTC Approval

Under the Broadcasting Act, the CRTC is responsible for regulating and supervising all aspects of the Canadian broadcasting system with a view to implementing broadcasting policy objectives set forth in the Broadcasting Act.

Pursuant to various service-specific regulations made under the Broadcasting Act and related regulations applying to radio, conventional television and specialty television services, certain acts, agreements or transactions that, directly or indirectly, result in (a) a change in the effective control of a broadcasting undertaking; or (b) a person together with any associate acquiring control of 30% or more of the issued voting securities, or 50% or more of the common shares, of a broadcasting undertaking; or (c) a person that has, directly or indirectly, effective control of that broadcasting undertaking, requires prior approval of the CRTC. It is a condition to the completion of the Recapitalization Transaction that CRTC Approval is obtained.

In many instances, applications for approval are subject to a public process, which in turn informs the CRTC in its decision making. The review of ownership transactions is an essential element of the CRTC's regulatory and supervisory mandate under the Broadcasting Act. Since the CRTC does not solicit competitive applications for changes in effective control of broadcasting undertakings, the onus is on the applicant to demonstrate that approval is in the public interest, that the benefits of the transaction are commensurate with the size and nature of the transaction, and that the application represents the best possible proposal in the circumstances.

The CRTC is required to consider each application on its merits, based on the circumstances specific to the application. In addition, the CRTC must be assured that approval of a proposed ownership transaction furthers the public interest as expressed in the objectives of the Broadcasting Act and will not impede the ability or willingness of the licensee to meet its obligations under the Broadcasting Act. Accordingly, to approve a transaction the CRTC must find that it provides commensurate benefits to the size and nature of the transaction and is in the public interest as reflected in the Broadcasting Act. In some instances, the applicant provides a specific package of tangible benefits designed to benefit the Canadian broadcasting system. For transfer of ownership applications involving radio stations, tangible benefits are typically required to represent a financial contribution equal to 6% of the assessed value of the transaction. For transfer of ownership applications involving conventional or discretionary television services, a financial contribution of 10% of the assessed value of the transaction is typically expected.

The Recapitalization Transaction triggers the obligation to obtain the prior approval of the CRTC for the transfer of ownership or control of Corus. It is a mutual condition to the completion of the Recapitalization Transaction that CRTC Approval has been obtained.

Competition Act Approval

The Competition Act requires that each of the parties to a transaction that exceeds the thresholds set out in sections 109 and 110 of the Competition Act and is not otherwise exempt (a "Notifiable Transaction") provides the Commissioner with pre-closing notice of the transaction, which results in the review of the transaction by the Commissioner to determine its impact on competition. Subject to certain limited exceptions, the parties to a Notifiable Transaction cannot complete a Notifiable Transaction until the parties to the transaction have each submitted prescribed information to the Commissioner (a "Notification") and the applicable waiting period has expired or been waived or terminated by the Commissioner. The waiting period expires 30 days after the day on which the parties to the Notifiable Transaction have each submitted their respective Notification, unless the Commissioner notifies the parties that additional information is required (a "Supplementary Information Request"). If the Commissioner issues a Supplementary Information Request, the Notifiable Transaction cannot be completed until 30 days after the parties to the transaction have each complied with their respective Supplementary Information Request.

101


102
Alternatively, or in addition to filing a Notification, the parties to a Notifiable Transaction may apply to the Commissioner under subsection 102(1) of the Competition Act for an advance ruling certificate (“ARC”) confirming that the Commissioner is satisfied that he does not have sufficient grounds on which to apply to the Canadian Competition Tribunal (the “Competition Tribunal”) for an order under section 92 of the Competition Act to prohibit the completion of the transaction or, as an alternative to an ARC, for a waiver under paragraph 113(c) of the Competition Act and a No-Action Letter from the Commissioner.

For a Notifiable Transaction, the Commissioner may apply to the Competition Tribunal for a remedial order under section 92 of the Competition Act at any time before a transaction has been completed or within one year after it was substantially completed, provided that the Commissioner did not issue an ARC in respect of the transaction. Such application may result in the Competition Tribunal making an order where it finds that a substantial prevention or lessening of competition would likely occur as a result of the transaction.

Certain classes of transactions are exempt from the application of the pre-merger notification provisions under the Competition Act, including certain types of acquisitions by creditors. Specifically, section 111(d) of the Competition Act exempts from the pre-notification requirements “an acquisition of collateral or receivables, or an acquisition resulting from a foreclosure or default or forming part of a debt work-out, made by a creditor in or pursuant to a credit transaction entered into in good faith in the ordinary course of business”. The Recapitalization Transaction falls within the scope of this exemption and therefore is not a Notifiable Transaction for the purposes of the Competition Act. Accordingly, the parties have agreed in writing that pre-merger notification under Part IX of the Competition Act is not required in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Support Agreement, including the completion of the Recapitalization Transaction and thus the closing condition has been satisfied.

Restrictions on Non-Canadian Ownership

The legal requirements relating to Canadian ownership and control of broadcasting undertakings are embodied in a statutory order (the "CRTC Order") from the Governor in Council (i.e. Cabinet of the Canadian federal government) to the CRTC. The CRTC Order is issued pursuant to authority contained in the Broadcasting Act. Under the CRTC Order, non-Canadians are permitted to own and control, directly or indirectly, up to 33 1/3% of the voting shares and 33 1/3% of the votes of a holding company which has a subsidiary operating company licensed under the Broadcasting Act. In addition, up to 20% of the voting shares and 20% of the votes of the operating licensee company may be owned and controlled, directly or indirectly, by non-Canadians. The CRTC Order also provides that the chief executive officer and 80% of the members of the board of directors of an operating company must be resident Canadians. In addition, where the holding company is less than 80% Canadian-owned, the holding company and its directors are prohibited from exercising any control or influence over the programming decisions of a subsidiary operating company. There are no restrictions on the number of non-voting shares that may be held by non-Canadians at either the holding company or licensee operating company level. The CRTC, however, retains the discretion under the CRTC Order to determine as a question of fact whether a given licensee is controlled by non-Canadians.

For the purposes of these regulations, "Canadian" means, among other things: (i) a Canadian citizen who is ordinarily resident in Canada; (ii) a permanent resident of Canada who is ordinarily resident in Canada and has been so for more than one year after the date he or she was eligible to apply for Canadian citizenship; (iii) a corporation with not less than 66 2/3% of the issued and outstanding voting shares of which are beneficially owned and controlled by Canadians and which is not otherwise controlled in fact by non-Canadians; or (iv) a pension fund society the majority of whose members of its board of directors are individual Canadians, and that is established under applicable federal legislation or any provincial legislation relating to the establishment of pension fund societies.

The Corporation's articles currently give its Board the authority to restrict the issue, transfer and voting of its Class A Voting Shares and the transfer of its Class B Non-Voting Shares for the purpose of ensuring that Corus remains qualified to hold or obtain licenses to carry on any broadcasting or programming business.

As described below, the Newco Articles will provide that VVS may only be owned or controlled by non-Canadians, and the CVS may only be owned and controlled by Canadians. Newco will adopt special operating procedures for monitoring share ownership and ensuring that the share register of each class of New Shares is up to date at all times which procedures will be administered by the Transfer Agent. The special operating procedures will set out provisions for monitoring New Share ownership, such as requiring declarations regarding New Share ownership and compliance, including from participants, brokers, and other financial intermediaries on a quarterly basis and in each form of proxy


or VIF used by Newco, as well as provisions for ensuring and enforcing compliance including requiring conversion where there is contravention of ownership requirements.

Each issued and outstanding CVS that is not owned or controlled by a Canadian for the purposes of the Broadcasting Act and related regulations will convert, automatically and without any further act by Newco, into one VVS. VVS will carry one vote per share held, except where (i) the number of votes that may be exercised in respect of all issued and outstanding VVS exceeds 19.9% of the total number of votes that may be exercised in respect of all issued and outstanding VVS, CVS, or PVVS (or any greater percentage that would qualify Newco as a “Canadian” pursuant to the Broadcasting Act or any regulation made thereunder), or (ii) the total number of votes cast by or on behalf of the holders of VVS at any meeting on any matter on which a vote is to be taken exceeds 19.9% (or any greater percentage that would qualify Newco as a “Canadian” pursuant to the Broadcasting Act or any regulation made thereunder) of the total number of votes that may be cast at such meeting.

If either of the above-noted thresholds is surpassed at any time, the vote attached to each VVS will decrease automatically and without further act or formality. Under the circumstances described in clause (i) above, the VVS as a class cannot carry more than 19.9% (or any greater percentage that would qualify Newco as a “Canadian” pursuant to the Broadcasting Act or any regulation made thereunder) of the total voting rights attached to the aggregate number of issued and outstanding VVS, CVS, and PVVS of Newco. Under the circumstances described in clause (ii) above, the VVS as a class cannot, for a given meeting of the shareholders of Newco, carry more than 19.9% (or any greater percentage that would qualify Newco as a “Canadian” pursuant to the Broadcasting Act or any regulation made thereunder) of the total number of votes that may be cast at such meeting of shareholders.

If issued, the PVVS will be non-participating special voting shares entitled to 0.01 votes per PVVS. The votes attached to the PVVS will be automatically decreased so that the votes attached to the PVVS as a class are, in aggregate, not more than 1% of the votes attached to all shares in the capital of Newco (excluding the PVVS). Except where required to vote separately by class under the CBCA, the PVVS will vote with the CVS and VVS on all matters.

The terms to be ascribed to the VVS by the Newco Articles are intended to ensure that the number of votes owned and controlled by non-Canadians is at all times within the limit permitted under the CRTC Order, the Broadcasting Act and the regulations made thereunder. However, there can be no assurance that such terms will be accepted by the CRTC or other regulatory authorities as being effective for this purpose.

See “Corus and Newco After the Recapitalization Transaction – Summary of Share Terms” for details of the rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions to be attached to the CVS, VVS and PVVS.

See “Certain Regulatory and Other Matters Relating to the Recapitalization Transaction – Securities Laws – Canada – Exemption from Take-Over Bid and Early Warning Reporting Requirements” for details of exemptive relief sought by Newco in respect of the CVS and VVS.

CORUS AND NEWCO AFTER THE RECAPITALIZATION TRANSACTION

The Recapitalization Transaction is expected to substantially improve the capital structure of Corus by reducing the face value amount of outstanding total third-party debt and other liabilities by approximately $500 million. With a realigned capital structure, Newco (as the new parent corporation of Corus) will benefit from a reduction in the initial annual cash interest cost related to Corus’ existing debt of up to $40 million, as well as a stronger financial foundation that will support Newco’s long-term growth. Management of Corus believes that the Recapitalization Transaction is in the best interests of Corus, Newco and their stakeholders and will enable Newco to continue to pursue and implement Corus’ growth strategy.

Consolidated Capitalization

The following table sets out the consolidated capitalization of Corus as at November 30, 2025 and of Newco as at November 30, 2025 after giving effect to the Recapitalization Transaction, including, the A&R Revolving Credit Facility; the issuance of New Shares, the issuance of New First Lien Notes and New Second Lien Notes.

(2) Figures for Newco reflect the repayment of approximately $1 million of the Term Loan Facility but not the payment of accrued interest or associated fees and expenses of the Recapitalization Transaction.

Share Capital

After the Recapitalization Transaction is implemented, the authorized capital of Newco will consist of: (i) an unlimited number of CVS; (ii) an unlimited number of VVS; and (iii) an unlimited number of PVVS. Based on the number of Class A Voting Shares and Class B Non-Voting Shares outstanding as of the Record Date, it is anticipated that there will be an aggregate of approximately 37,193,775 CVS and VVS issued and outstanding, taking into account the cancellation of fractional New Shares held by existing Shareholders that would hold less than one New Share following the Share Consolidation. However, the actual number of New Shares outstanding as of the Effective Date will not be known until the Effective Date. No PVVS are currently expected to be issued and outstanding. Since the determination of whether a shareholder receives CVS or VVS is based on the residency of the holder, it is not possible to determine, at this time, the allocation of New Shares as between CVS and VVS. Shareholders will be issued either CVS or VVS pursuant to the Recapitalization Transaction based on their residency in accordance with the Newco Articles.


The following table sets out the share capital of Corus as at December 24, 2025 and of Newco after giving effect to the Recapitalization Transaction, including prior to and following the Share Consolidation.

Based on the foregoing, an aggregate of 4,132,642 Warrants would be issued on the Effective Date. See "Description of the Recapitalization Transaction - Warrants".
(4) Figures do not reflect potential Management Incentive Plan as described under "Management Incentive Plan".

Following the Recapitalization Transaction, Newco will be subject to legal requirements relating to Canadian ownership and control of broadcasting undertakings which are embodied in the CRTC Order. See "Certain Regulatory and Other Matters Relating to the Recapitalization Transaction - Restrictions on Non-Canadian Ownership" for more information.

Newco intends to apply to the OSC for an exemption to treat the CVS and VVS as a single class for the purposes of applicable take-over bid and related early warning reporting requirements under Canadian securities laws. See "Certain Regulatory and Other Matters Relating to the Recapitalization Transaction - Securities Laws Matters - Canada - Exemption from Take-Over Bid and Early Warning Reporting Requirements" for more information.

Summary of Share Terms

The summary below describes the rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions to be attached to the CVS, VVS and PVVS.

Exercise of Voting Rights

The holders of CVS will be entitled to receive notice of, and to attend and vote at all meetings of the shareholders of Newco, except those at which holders of a specific class are entitled to vote separately as a class under the CBCA. Each CVS shall confer the right to one vote at all meetings of Newco's shareholders.

The holders of VVS will be entitled to receive notice of, to attend and vote at all meetings of the shareholders of Newco, except those at which the holders of a specific class are entitled to vote separately as a class under the CBCA.

VVS will carry one vote per share held, except where (i) the number of votes that may be exercised in respect of all issued and outstanding VVS exceeds $19.9\%$ of the total number of votes that may be exercised in respect of all issued and outstanding VVS, CVS and PVVS (or any greater percentage that would qualify Newco as a "Canadian" pursuant


to the Broadcasting Act or in any regulation or direction made thereunder), or (ii) the total number of votes cast by or on behalf of the holders of VVS at any meeting on any matter on which a vote is to be taken exceeds 19.9% (or any greater percentage that would qualify Newco as a “Canadian” pursuant to the Broadcasting Act or in any regulation or direction made thereunder) of the total number of votes that may be cast at such meeting.

If either of the above-noted thresholds is surpassed at any time, the vote attached to each VVS will decrease automatically without further act or formality. Under the circumstances described in clause (i) of the paragraph above, the VVS as a class cannot carry more than 19.9% (or any greater percentage that would qualify Newco as a “Canadian” pursuant to the Broadcasting Act or in any regulation or direction made thereunder) of the total voting rights attached to the aggregate number of issued and outstanding VVS, CVS and PVVS of Newco. Under the circumstances described in clause (ii) of the paragraph above, the VVS as a class cannot, for a given meeting of the shareholders of Newco, carry more than 19.9% (or any greater percentage that would qualify Newco as a “Canadian” pursuant to the Broadcasting Act or in any regulation or direction made thereunder) of the total number of votes that may be cast at the meeting.

Dividends

Subject to the rights, privileges, restrictions, and conditions attached to any other class of Newco shares ranking prior to the CVS and VVS, the holders of CVS and the holders of VVS shall be entitled to receive any dividends that are declared by the Newco Board at the times and for the amounts that the Newco Board may, from time to time, determine. The CVS and the VVS shall rank equally as to dividends on a share-for-share basis. All dividends shall be declared in equal or equivalent amounts per share on all CVS and VVS then outstanding, without preference or distinction.

Subdivision or Consolidation

No subdivision or consolidation of the CVS or the VVS shall occur unless simultaneously, the CVS or the VVS are subdivided or consolidated in the same manner so as to maintain and preserve the relative rights of the holders of each of these classes of shares.

Rights in the Case of Liquidation, Winding-Up or Dissolution

Subject to the rights, privileges, restrictions, and conditions attached to the other classes of shares of Newco ranking prior to the CVS or the VVS, in the case of liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of Newco, the holders of CVS and VVS shall be entitled to receive Newco’s remaining property and shall be entitled to share equally, share for share, in all distributions of such assets.

Conversion

Each issued and outstanding CVS shall be converted into one VVS, automatically and without any further act of the Corporation or the holder, if such CVS is or becomes owned or controlled by a person who is not a Canadian.

Each issued and outstanding VVS shall be automatically converted into one CVS, without any further intervention on the part of Newco or the holder, if (i) the VVS is or becomes owned and controlled by a Canadian; or if (ii) the provisions contained in or promulgated under the Broadcasting Act relating to foreign ownership restrictions are repealed and not replaced with other similar provisions in applicable legislation.

In the event that an offer is made to purchase VVS and the offer is one which is required, pursuant to applicable securities legislation or the rules of a stock exchange on which the VVS are then listed, to be made to all or substantially all the holders of VVS and, among other things, the offer is not made concurrently with an offer to purchase CVS on identical terms, each CVS shall become convertible at the option of the holder into one VVS at any time while the offer is in effect until one day after the time prescribed by applicable securities legislation for the offeror to take up and pay for such shares as are to be acquired pursuant to the offer. The conversion right may only be exercised in respect of CVS for the purpose of depositing the resulting VVS pursuant to the offer, and for no other reason, including notably with respect to voting rights attached thereto, which are deemed to remain subject to the provisions concerning the voting rights for CVS notwithstanding their conversion. In such event, Newco’s transfer agent shall deposit the resulting VVS on behalf of the holder.

106


Should the VVS issued upon conversion and tendered in response to the offer be withdrawn by the shareholders or not taken up by the offeror, or should the offer be abandoned or withdrawn, the VVS resulting from the conversion shall be automatically reconverted, without further intervention on the part of Newco or on the part of the holder, to CVS.

In the event that an offer is made to purchase CVS and the offer is one which is required, pursuant to applicable securities legislation or the rules of a stock exchange on which the CVS are then listed, to be made to all or substantially all the holders of CVS in a given province of Canada to which these requirements apply and, among other things, the offer is not made concurrently with an offer to purchase VVS on identical terms, each VVS shall become convertible at the option of the holder into one CVS at any time while the offer is in effect until one day after the time prescribed by applicable securities legislation for the offeror to take up and pay for such shares as are to be acquired pursuant to the offer. The conversion right may only be exercised in respect of VVS for the purpose of depositing the resulting CVS pursuant to the offer, and for no other reason, including notably with respect to voting rights attached thereto, which are deemed to remain subject to the provisions concerning voting rights for VVS notwithstanding their conversion. In such event, Newco’s transfer agent shall deposit the resulting CVS on behalf of the holder.

Should the CVS issued upon conversion and tendered in response to the offer be withdrawn by shareholders or not taken up by the offeror, or should the offer be abandoned or withdrawn, the CVS resulting from the conversion shall be automatically reconverted, without further intervention on the part of Newco or on the part of the holder, into VVS.

CVS and VVS may not be converted, other than in accordance with the conversion procedure set out in the Newco Articles.

Constraints on Share Ownership

VVS may only be owned or controlled by non-Canadians. The CVS may only be owned and controlled by Canadians.

Preferred Variable Voting Shares

The number of votes attached to each Preferred Variable Voting Share at any meeting of the shareholders of the Corporation shall be equal to 0.01 votes per share, provided that, in no event will the aggregate number of votes attached to the Preferred Variable Voting Shares as a class exceed 1% of the votes attached to all Shares (excluding the Preferred Variable Voting Shares). The PVVS will not be listed on any stock exchange.

As at the date of this Circular, immediately following the Effective Time, there are not expected to be any PVVS issued and outstanding. If, at any time, PVVS are issued, the holder of such PVVS shall enter into a Preferred Variable Voting Shareholders Agreement (the “PVVS Agreement”) with Newco on their acquisition of such shares.

Pursuant to the PVVS Agreement, the holder of PVVS of Newco will (i) agree not to transfer PVVS, in whole or in part, except with the prior written approval of the Newco Board, (ii) grant to Newco the unilateral right to compel the transfer of the PVVS, at any time and from time to time, in whole or in part, to a person designated by the Newco Board, and (iii) grant to Newco a power of attorney to effect any transfers contemplated by the PVVS Agreement. The Newco Board will not approve or compel a transfer without first obtaining the approval of the TSX and the PVVS Agreement cannot be amended, waived, or terminated unless approved by the TSX. In determining whether to approve or compel a transfer, the Newco Board will act in the best interests of Newco to enable Newco to be eligible for tax credits or government incentives. Pursuant to the PVVS Agreement, the consideration received for the transfer of PVVS cannot exceed one/one millionth of a cent per share.

The PVVS will be redeemable at the option of Newco for $0.0000001 per PVVS and, in the event of the liquidation, dissolution or other distribution of Newco’s assets for the purpose of winding up of Newco’s affairs, holders of PVVS are entitled to $0.0000001 per PVVS in priority to holders of New Shares but have no further rights. PVVS will not be entitled to receive dividends. The PVVS Agreement will contain a coattail provision which prevents a holder of PVVS from accepting an offer to purchase all or part of the holder’s shares unless the party making the offer also offers to purchase, by way of a take-over bid, all of the outstanding shares of Newco at a price per share and on other terms and conditions as are approved by the Newco Board.

107


Based on the Class A Voting Shares and Class B Non-Voting Shares outstanding as of the Record Date, as of the Effective Date, after giving effect to the Recapitalization Transaction, it is expected that approximately 37,193,775 CVS and VVS and no PVVS will be issued and outstanding taking into account the cancellation of fractional New Shares held by existing Shareholders that would hold less than one New Share following the Share Consolidation. However, the actual number of New Shares outstanding will depend on a variety of factors, including the effect of the Share Consolidation on fractional interests. It is anticipated that, based on holdings as of December 24, 2025, the Major Noteholder would, assuming its current holdings remain unchanged, collectively exercise control or have direction over approximately 44% of the outstanding New Shares. Certain shareholders will be afforded certain rights following the Effective Date, as described under "Corus and Newco after the Recapitalization Transaction – Investor Rights Agreement".

Newco Board

The Newco Board will comprise five directors (which individuals are to be confirmed) and the current directors of Corus are expected to resign on the Effective Date. See "Description of the Recapitalization Transaction – Appointment of Directors".

At least 80% of the members of the Newco Board will be resident Canadian citizens for purposes of the Canadian Ownership Statutes.

Investor Rights Agreement

In accordance with the Support Agreement, Newco has agreed provide the following rights to certain Newco Shareholders pursuant to an investor rights agreement to be effective as of the Effective Date (the "Investor Rights Agreement"):

(a) Preemptive Rights: Each holder of at least 3% of the outstanding New Shares as of the Effective Date shall have a right, but not an obligation, to maintain its then existing percentage equity and voting ownership interest in Newco with respect to any proposed issuance of any equity interest of Newco for cash proceeds that occurs after the Effective Time, other than pursuant to (i) the issuance or sale of Newco equity securities to employees and similar service providers pursuant to equity incentive plans approved by the Board; or (ii) a merger, reorganization or similar transaction (the "Preemptive Rights"). The Preemptive Rights shall continue until the earlier of the time at which such holder ceases to have ownership or control or direction over at least 3% of the outstanding New Shares.

(b) Registration Rights: Each holder of at least 10% of the outstanding New Shares as of the Effective Date will have demand and piggyback registration rights on customary terms acceptable to the Majority Initial Supporting Noteholders and Corus, each acting reasonably (the "Registration Rights"). The Registration Rights shall continue until such holder ceases to have ownership or control or direction over at least 10% of the outstanding New Shares.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Corus is involved, from time to time, in various legal claims and lawsuits incidental to the ordinary course of business, including intellectual property actions and acts for defamation. None of these matters is material to the Corporation. Adverse determinations in litigation could result in the loss of proprietary rights, subject the Corporation to significant liabilities, or require Corus to seek licenses from third parties, any one of which could have an adverse effect on the business and results of operations. Actions that are incidental to the business are typically covered by insurance and management has estimated the potential liability and provided for the amount in its financial statements. Corus does not anticipate that the damages that may be awarded in any material action of which the Corporation is currently aware will exceed its insurance coverage in a material way. While no assurance can be given that these proceedings will be favourably resolved, Corus does not believe that the outcome of these legal proceedings will have a material adverse impact on its financial position or results of operations.

CERTAIN CANADIAN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following summary describes the principal Canadian federal income tax considerations under the Tax Act and the regulations thereunder, generally applicable to Senior Noteholders who dispose of Senior Notes, which they beneficially own, including entitlement to all payments thereunder, in exchange for New Second Lien Notes and New Shares pursuant to the Arrangement and to beneficial owners of Shares who dispose of Shares pursuant to the Arrangement and, in each case, who, for purposes of the Tax Act, and at all relevant times, (i) hold their Senior Notes and Shares, as applicable, and will hold any New Second Lien Notes and New Shares, as applicable, received pursuant to the Recapitalization Transaction, as capital property, (ii) deal at arm's length with Corus and Newco, (iii) are not affiliated with Corus or Newco, and (iv) have not entered into and will not enter into, in respect of Senior Notes, Shares, New Second Lien Notes or New Shares, as the case may be, a "synthetic disposition arrangement" or a "derivative forward agreement" for purposes of the Tax Act (each being a "Holder").

Generally, a Senior Note, Share, New Second Lien Note or New Share will be considered capital property to a Holder for purposes of the Tax Act unless the Holder acquires or holds such security in the course of carrying on a business


of buying and selling securities or in a transaction or transactions considered to be an adventure or concern in the nature of trade.

This summary does not apply to Supporting Shareholders. In addition, this summary does not describe the tax considerations applicable to Participating Senior Noteholders who receive New First Lien Notes or Warrants pursuant to the Arrangement. Such Participating Senior Noteholders and Supporting Shareholders are urged to consult their own tax advisors with respect to the tax consequences to them of the Arrangement. Furthermore, this summary does not apply to any holders of RSUs, DSUs, PSUs or Stock Options. Any such holders should consult their own tax advisors having regard to their particular circumstances.

This summary is based on the current provisions of the Tax Act and the regulations thereunder in force as of the date hereof and an understanding of the current published administrative policies and assessing practices of the Canada Revenue Agency ("CRA") publicly available prior to the date hereof. This summary takes into account all specific proposals to amend the Tax Act and the regulations publicly announced by or on behalf of the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof (the "Proposed Amendments") and assumes that all Proposed Amendments will be enacted in the form proposed. However, no assurances can be given that the Proposed Amendments will be enacted as proposed, or at all. This summary does not otherwise take into account or anticipate any changes in law, whether by judicial, governmental or legislative decision or action or changes in the administrative policies or assessing practices of the CRA, nor does it take into account tax legislation or considerations of any province, territory or foreign jurisdiction, which may differ materially from those discussed herein.

This summary is of a general nature only and is not, and is not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal or tax advice or representations to any particular Holder. This summary is not exhaustive of all Canadian federal income tax considerations applicable to the Arrangement and/or the holding of New Shares. Accordingly, Holders are urged to consult their own legal and tax advisors with respect to the tax consequences to them of the Arrangement having regard to their own circumstances, including the application and effect of the income and other tax laws of any country, province, territory, state, local or other jurisdiction that may be applicable to the Holder.

Generally, for purposes of the Tax Act, all amounts relating to the acquisition, holding or disposition of securities (including dividends, adjusted cost base and proceeds of disposition) must be expressed in Canadian dollars. For purposes of the Tax Act, amounts denominated in a currency other than Canadian dollars must be converted into Canadian dollars using the appropriate exchange rate determined in accordance with the detailed rules contained in the Tax Act in that regard.

Holders Resident in Canada

This portion of the summary applies to a Holder who, at all relevant times, for purposes of the Tax Act is, or is deemed to be, resident in Canada (a "Resident Holder"). Certain Resident Holders whose Senior Notes, Shares, New Second Lien Notes or New Shares might not otherwise constitute capital property may, in some circumstances, be entitled to make an irrevocable election in accordance with subsection 39(4) of the Tax Act to have such Senior Notes, Shares, New Second Lien Notes or New Shares (and every other "Canadian security" (as defined in the Tax Act)) owned by such Resident Holder deemed to be capital property in the taxation year of the election and in all subsequent taxation years. Resident Holders contemplating such an election should consult their own tax advisors.

This portion of the summary does not apply to a Holder (a) that is a "financial institution", for the purposes of the mark-to-market rules in the Tax Act, (b) an interest in which is a "tax shelter investment", as defined in the Tax Act, (c) that is a "specified financial institution", as defined in the Tax Act, (d) that has elected to report their "Canadian tax results," as defined in the Tax Act, in a currency other than Canadian currency, (e) that is exempt from tax under Part I of the Tax Act, or (f) that receives dividends on its New Shares under or as part of a "dividend rental arrangement", as defined in the Tax Act. All such Holders should consult their own legal and tax advisors.

Exchange of Shares for New Shares Pursuant to the Arrangement

In the case of a Resident Holder of Shares who receives New Shares in exchange for its Shares, a capital gain or capital loss that would otherwise be realized on the exchange of a Share for a New Share may generally be deferred under the provisions of subsection 85.1(1) of the Tax Act.

110


In general, under these provisions a Resident Holder will be deemed to have disposed of each of the Resident Holder’s Shares for proceeds of disposition equal to the adjusted cost base of such share to the Resident Holder immediately before the disposition, and will be deemed to have acquired New Shares at a cost equal to such adjusted cost base. This deferral will not apply where, among other things, (a) such Resident Holder has, in the Resident Holder’s income tax return for the year of the exchange, included in computing its income for that year any portion of the gain or loss otherwise determined from the disposition of such an exchanged Share, or (b) immediately after the exchange, such Resident Holder, or persons with whom such Resident Holder does not deal at arm’s length for purposes of the Tax Act, or such Resident Holder together with such persons, either controls Newco or beneficially owns shares of the capital stock of Newco having a fair market value of more than 50% of the fair market value of all outstanding shares of the capital stock of Newco.

Resident Holders who, in their income tax returns for the year of exchange, include in their income for the year of exchange any portion of the gain or loss otherwise determined in respect of such exchanged Share will be deemed to have disposed of such exchanged Share for proceeds of disposition equal to the fair market value of New Shares received in exchange therefor and to have acquired such New Shares at a cost equal to such fair market value. A Resident Holder is urged to consult such Resident Holder’s own tax advisors in this regard. The income tax treatment of any such capital gain (or capital loss) is described below under “Taxation of Capital Gains and Capital Losses”.

Share Consolidation

A Resident Holder will not realize a capital gain or a capital loss as a result of the Share Consolidation, other than with respect to a Resident Holder who would have their interest in Newco terminated without consideration. A Resident Holder who has their interest in Newco terminated without consideration should be deemed to dispose of their New Shares and will generally recognize a capital loss on the disposition of their New Shares. The income tax treatment of any such capital loss is described below under “Taxation of Capital Gains and Capital Losses”.

Dividends on New Shares

A Resident Holder will be required to include in computing its income for a taxation year any dividends received (or deemed to be received) on the New Shares. In the case of a Resident Holder that is an individual (other than certain trusts), such dividends will be subject to the gross-up and dividend tax credit rules applicable to taxable dividends received from taxable Canadian corporations, including the enhanced gross-up and dividend tax credit applicable to any dividend designated by Newco as an eligible dividend in accordance with the provisions of the Tax Act. A dividend received (or deemed to be received) by a Resident Holder that is a corporation will generally be deductible in computing the corporation’s taxable income subject to the limitations under the Tax Act. A Resident Holder that is a “private corporation” (as defined in the Tax Act) or a “subject corporation” (as defined for purposes of Part IV of the Tax Act) is generally liable under Part IV of the Tax Act to pay an additional tax (refundable in certain circumstances) on dividends received (or deemed to be received) on the New Shares to the extent such dividends are deductible in computing the Resident Holder’s taxable income.

In certain circumstances, a taxable dividend received (or deemed to be received) by a Resident Holder that is a corporation may be treated as proceeds of disposition or a capital gain and not as a dividend pursuant to the rules in subsection 55(2) of the Tax Act. Resident Holders that are corporations should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the application of these rules in their particular circumstances.

Disposition of New Shares

A disposition or deemed disposition of New Shares by a Resident Holder (other than to Newco unless purchased by Newco in the open market in the manner in which shares are normally purchased by any member of the public in the open market) will generally result in a capital gain (or capital loss) equal to the amount, if any, by which the proceeds of disposition, net of any reasonable costs of the disposition, exceed (or are less than) the adjusted cost base to the Resident Holder of the New Shares immediately before the disposition. The income tax treatment of any such capital gain (or capital loss) is described below under “Taxation of Capital Gains and Capital Losses”.

111


112

Interest on Senior Notes

Any Resident Holder of Senior Notes that is a corporation, partnership, unit trust or any trust of which a corporation or partnership is a beneficiary will generally be required to include in its income the amount of interest accrued or deemed to accrue on the Senior Notes up to the Effective Date or that becomes receivable or was received by it on or before the Effective Date (except to the extent that such interest was otherwise included in computing income for the year or a preceding year). Any other Resident Holder of Senior Notes (including an individual) will be required to include in income for a taxation year any interest on the Senior Notes received or receivable by such Resident Holder in the year (depending upon the method regularly followed by the Resident Holder in computing income) except to the extent that such interest was otherwise included in its income for the year or a preceding year. Where a Resident Holder is required to include an amount in income on account of interest on the Senior Notes that accrues in respect of the period prior to the date of acquisition of such Senior Notes by such Resident Holder, the Resident Holder should be entitled to a deduction of an equivalent amount in computing income.

Exchange of a portion of Senior Notes for New Second Lien Notes

A Resident Holder of Senior Notes who exchanges the relevant portion of its Senior Notes for New Second Lien Notes will be considered to have disposed of such relevant portion of Senior Notes in consideration for New Second Lien Notes received by the Resident Holder in respect thereof.

Such disposition of a relevant portion of Senior Notes by a Resident Holder will generally result in a capital gain (or capital loss) equal to the amount, if any, by which the proceeds of disposition, net of any reasonable costs of the disposition, exceed (or are less than) the adjusted cost base attributable to that portion of the Resident Holder's Senior Notes immediately before the disposition. A Resident Holder's proceeds of disposition of such portion of Senior Notes will be an amount equal to the aggregate of the fair market value (at the time of the exchange) of the New Second Lien Notes received by the Resident Holder on such exchange. Generally, any capital loss realized on the exchange of such relevant portion of Senior Notes for New Second Lien Notes will be denied. The amount of any denied loss on the exchange of Senior Notes will be added to a Resident Holder's adjusted cost base in the New Second Lien Notes. Resident Holders of Senior Notes should consult a tax advisor with respect to the exchange of Senior Notes for New Second Lien Notes. The income tax treatment of any such capital gain (or capital loss) is described below under "Taxation of Capital Gains and Capital Losses".

Disposition of a portion of Senior Notes for New Shares

A Resident Holder of Senior Notes who sells the relevant portion of its Senior Notes to Newco in exchange for New Shares will be considered to have disposed of such relevant portion of Senior Notes in consideration for New Shares.

Such disposition of a relevant portion of Senior Notes by a Resident Holder will generally result in a capital gain (or capital loss) equal to the amount, if any, by which the proceeds of disposition, net of any reasonable costs of the disposition, exceed (or are less than) the adjusted cost base attributable to that portion of the Resident Holder's Senior Notes immediately before the disposition. A Resident Holder's proceeds of disposition of such portion of Senior Notes will be an amount equal to the aggregate of the fair market value (at the time of the exchange) of the New Shares received by the Resident Holder. Resident Holders of Senior Notes should consult a tax advisor with respect to the disposition of Senior Notes for New Shares. The income tax treatment of any such capital gain (or capital loss) is described below under "Taxation of Capital Gains and Capital Losses".

Interest on New Second Lien Notes

Any Resident Holder of New Second Lien Notes that is a corporation, partnership, unit trust or any trust of which a corporation or partnership is a beneficiary will be required to include in computing its income for a taxation year any interest on a New Second Lien Note that accrues or is deemed to accrue to such Resident Holder to the end of the year, or becomes receivable or is received by the Resident Holder before the end of the year, to the extent that such interest was not included in computing the Resident Holder's income for a preceding taxation year.

Any other Resident Holder of New Second Lien Notes, including an individual and any trust not described in the preceding paragraph, will be required to include in computing its income for a taxation year any interest on the New Second Lien Note that is received or receivable by such Resident Holder in the year (depending on the method


regularly followed by the Resident Holder in computing its income) to the extent that such interest was not included in computing the Resident Holder’s income for a preceding taxation year.

Disposition of New Second Lien Notes

On a disposition or deemed disposition of a New Second Lien Note by a Resident Holder (including on redemption, repurchase for cancellation or repayment on maturity), a Resident Holder will generally be required to include in computing its income for the taxation year in which the disposition occurs the amount of interest that has accrued on the New Second Lien Note to that time except to the extent that such interest has otherwise been included in the Resident Holder’s income for the year or a preceding taxation year. A disposition or deemed disposition of New Second Lien Notes by a Resident Holder will generally result in a capital gain (or capital loss) equal to the amount, if any, by which the proceeds of disposition, net of any amount included in the Resident Holder’s income as interest and any reasonable costs of the disposition, exceed (or are less than) the adjusted cost base to the Resident Holder of the New Second Lien Notes immediately before the disposition. The income tax treatment of any such capital gain (or capital loss) is described below under “Taxation of Capital Gains and Capital Losses”.

Taxation of Capital Gains and Capital Losses

Generally, a Resident Holder is required to include in computing the Resident Holder’s income for a taxation year one-half of the amount of any capital gain (a “taxable capital gain”) realized in the year. Subject to and in accordance with the provisions of the Tax Act, a Resident Holder is required to deduct one-half of the amount of any capital loss (an “allowable capital loss”) realized in a taxation year from taxable capital gains realized by the Resident Holder in the year, and allowable capital losses in excess of taxable capital gains realized in a taxation year may be carried back and deducted in any of the three preceding taxation years or carried forward and deducted in any subsequent taxation year against net taxable capital gains realized in such years.

The amount of any capital loss realized by a Resident Holder that is a corporation on the disposition of a Share or a New Share may be reduced by the amount of any dividends received (or deemed to be received) by the Resident Holder on such share (or on a share for which such share is substituted or exchanged) to the extent and under the circumstances prescribed by the Tax Act. Similar rules may apply where a Share or a New Share is owned by a partnership or trust of which a corporation, trust or partnership is a member or beneficiary. Resident Holders to whom these rules may be relevant are urged to consult their own advisors.

Additional Refundable Tax

A Resident Holder that is throughout the year a “Canadian-controlled private corporation”, or at any time in the year a “substantive CCPC”, each as defined in the Tax Act, may be liable to pay a tax, a portion of which may be refundable, on certain investment income including amounts in respect of interest and net taxable capital gains. Resident Holders should consult their own tax advisors in this regard.

Alternative Minimum Tax

Capital gains realized, or dividends received (or deemed to be received) by a Resident Holder who is an individual (other than certain specified trusts) may give rise to liability for alternative minimum tax under the Tax Act. Resident Holders should consult their own tax advisors in this regard.

Eligibility for Investment

Provided that, on the Effective Date, New Shares are listed on a designated stock exchange as defined in the Tax Act (which currently includes the TSX), the New Shares will be qualified investments under the Tax Act, on such date, for trusts governed by registered retirement savings plans, registered retirement income funds, registered education savings plans, registered disability savings plans, tax-free savings accounts, first home savings accounts (each, a “Registered Plan”) and deferred profit sharing plans (“DPSPs”). Provided that, on the Effective Date, either (a) Corus is a “public corporation” as defined in the Tax Act, or (b) New Shares are listed on a designated stock exchange in Canada (which currently includes the TSX), the New Second Lien Notes will be qualified investments under the Tax Act, on such date, for Registered Plans and DPSPs (other than a trust governed by a DPSP for which any employer is Corus or is an employer with whom Corus does not deal at arm’s length within the meaning of the Tax Act).

113


Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the New Shares or the New Second Lien Notes are a “prohibited investment” (as defined in the Tax Act) for a particular Registered Plan, the annuitant, holder or subscriber of the particular Registered Plan, as the case may be (the “Controlling Individual”), will be subject to a penalty tax as set out in the Tax Act. The New Shares and the New Second Lien Notes will not be a “prohibited investment” for such a Registered Plan provided that the Controlling Individual thereof deals at arm’s length with Corus and Newco for purposes of the Tax Act and does not have a “significant interest”, within the meaning of subsection 207.01(4) of the Tax Act, in Corus or Newco. In addition, the New Shares and the New Second Lien Notes will not be a prohibited investment if such securities are “excluded property” for purposes of the prohibited investment rules for a Registered Plan. Resident Holders who intend to hold the New Shares or New Second Lien Notes in a Registered Plan should consult their own tax advisors as to whether the New Shares or New Second Lien Notes, as applicable, will be a prohibited investment for such Registered Plans in their particular circumstances.

Holders Not Resident in Canada

This portion of the summary is generally applicable to a Holder who, at all relevant times, for the purposes of the Tax Act (i) is not, and is not deemed to be, resident in Canada; (ii) does not use or hold, and is not deemed to use or hold, Senior Notes, Shares, New Second Lien Notes or New Shares in connection with carrying on a business in Canada; (iii) deals at arm’s length with any transferee resident, or deemed to be resident, in Canada to which the Holder disposes of Senior Notes or New Second Lien Notes (iv) is not an entity in respect of which Corus or Newco is a “specified entity” (as defined in subsection 18.4(1) of the Tax Act); (v) is not a “specified shareholder” (as defined in subsection 18(5) the Tax Act) of Corus or Newco, respectively and deals at arm’s length for purposes of the Tax Act with any “specified shareholder” of Corus or Newco; and (vi) is not an insurer who carries on an insurance business in Canada and elsewhere or an authorized foreign bank that carries on a Canadian banking business (a “Non-Resident Holder”).

A Non-Resident Holder should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the potential foreign tax consequences of the Arrangement.

Disposition of Shares Pursuant to the Recapitalization Transaction

A Non-Resident Holder who participates in the Recapitalization Transaction will not be subject to tax under the Tax Act on any taxable capital gain, or be entitled to deduct any allowable capital loss, realized on the disposition of Shares, unless the Shares are “taxable Canadian property” to the Non-Resident Holder for purposes of the Tax Act at the time of the disposition and the Non-Resident Holder is not entitled to relief under an applicable income tax convention between Canada and the country in which the Non-Resident Holder is resident.

Generally, the Shares will not constitute “taxable Canadian property” to a Non-Resident Holder at a particular time provided that the Shares are listed at that time on a “designated stock exchange” as defined in the Tax Act (which currently includes the TSX), unless at any particular time during the 60-month period that ends at that time (1) one or any combination of (i) the Non-Resident Holder, (ii) persons with whom the Non-Resident Holder did not deal at arm’s length, and (iii) partnerships in which the Non-Resident Holder or a person described in (ii) holds a membership interest directly or indirectly through one or more partnerships, owned 25% or more of the issued shares of any class or series of shares of Corus, and (2) more than 50% of the fair market value of the Shares was derived directly or indirectly from one or any combination of: (i) real or immovable properties situated in Canada, (ii) “Canadian resource properties” (as defined in the Tax Act), (iii) “timber resource properties” (as defined in the Tax Act), and (iv) options in respect of, or interests in, or for civil law rights in, property described in any of the foregoing whether or not the property exists. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in certain circumstances set out in the Tax Act, Shares which are not otherwise taxable Canadian property could be deemed to be taxable Canadian property to the Non-Resident Holder. Non-Resident Holders whose Shares may constitute taxable Canadian property should consult their own tax advisors for advice having regard to their particular circumstances.

Disposition of Senior Notes Pursuant to the Recapitalization Transaction

A Non-Resident Holder of Senior Notes will not be subject to tax under the Tax Act in respect of any capital gain and will not be able to deduct the allowable portion of any capital loss realized by such Non-Resident Holder on the

114


disposition of its relevant portion of Senior Notes for New Second Lien Notes or on the disposition of its relevant portion of Senior Notes for New Shares.

A Non-Resident Holder of Senior Notes will not be subject to Canadian income or withholding tax under the Tax Act in respect of the accrued and unpaid interest that is paid in respect of the Senior Notes.

Taxation of New Second Lien Notes

Interest, principal, discount or premium, if any, paid or credited, or deemed to be paid or credited, to a Non-Resident Holder on the New Second Lien Notes, and any proceeds of disposition received by a Non-Resident Holder on the disposition of a New Second Lien Note will be exempt from Canadian withholding tax. No other taxes on income (including taxable capital gains) will be payable under the Tax Act by a Non-Resident Holder on interest, principal, discount or premium, or on the proceeds received by a Non-Resident Holder on the disposition of a New Second Lien Note solely as a consequence of the acquisition, holding or disposition of the New Second Lien Notes.

Dividends on New Shares

Dividends paid or credited, or deemed to be paid or credited, on the New Shares to a Non-Resident Holder will be subject to Canadian withholding tax at the rate of 25%, subject to any reduction in the rate of withholding to which the Non-Resident Holder is entitled under any applicable income tax treaty or convention.

Disposition of New Shares

A Non-Resident Holder will not be subject to tax under the Tax Act on any taxable capital gain, or be entitled to deduct any allowable capital loss, realized on a disposition or deemed disposition of New Shares, unless the New Shares are "taxable Canadian property" to the Non-Resident Holder for purposes of the Tax Act at the time of the disposition and the Non-Resident Holder is not entitled to relief under an applicable income tax convention between Canada and the country in which the Non-Resident Holder is resident.

Generally, the New Shares will not constitute "taxable Canadian property" to a Non-Resident Holder at a particular time provided that the New Shares are listed at that time on a "designated stock exchange" as defined in the Tax Act (which currently includes the TSX), unless at any particular time during the 60-month period that ends at that time (1) one or any combination of (i) the Non-Resident Holder, (ii) persons with whom the Non-Resident Holder did not deal at arm's length, and (iii) partnerships in which the Non-Resident Holder or a person described in (ii) holds a membership interest directly or indirectly through one or more partnerships, owned 25% or more of the issued shares of any class or series of shares of Newco, and (2) more than 50% of the fair market value of the New Shares was derived directly or indirectly from one or any combination of: (i) real or immovable properties situated in Canada, (ii) "Canadian resource properties" (as defined in the Tax Act), (iii) "timber resource properties" (as defined in the Tax Act), and (iv) options in respect of, or interests in, or for civil law rights in, property described in any of the foregoing whether or not the property exists. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in certain circumstances set out in the Tax Act, New Shares which are not otherwise taxable Canadian property could be deemed to be taxable Canadian property to the Non-Resident Holder (including where New Shares are received by a Non-Resident Holder in exchange for Shares that constitute "taxable Canadian property" utilizing the tax deferral available under subsection 85.1(1) of the Tax Act). Non-Resident Holders whose New Shares may constitute taxable Canadian property should consult their own tax advisors for advice having regard to their particular circumstances.

RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information set forth and incorporated by reference in this Circular, Securityholders should carefully review the following risk factors before deciding whether to approve the Recapitalization Transaction.

Risks Relating to the Recapitalization Transaction

The completion of the Recapitalization Transaction may not occur.

The Corporation will not complete the Recapitalization Transaction unless and until all conditions precedent to the Arrangement are satisfied or waived. See "Conditions Precedent to the Implementation of the Recapitalization

115


Transaction”. Even if the Recapitalization Transaction is completed, it may not be completed on the schedule described in this Circular. Accordingly, Senior Noteholders and Shareholders participating in the Recapitalization Transaction may have to wait longer than expected to receive their entitlements under the CBCA Plan. In addition, if the Recapitalization Transaction is not completed on the schedule described in this Circular, the Corporation may incur additional expenses or the Recapitalization Transaction may not occur.

Potential effect of the Recapitalization Transaction.

There can be no assurance as to the effect of the announcement of the Recapitalization Transaction on Corus' brands or programming or its relationships with BDUs and other partners, clients, subscribers, suppliers or lenders, nor can there be any assurance as to the effect on such relationships of any delay in the completion of the Recapitalization Transaction, or the effect of the Recapitalization Transaction being completed under the CBCA or pursuant to another statutory procedure. To the extent that any of these events result in the tightening of payment or credit terms, increases in costs, or the loss of a BDU relationship, key partner, client, supplier, or lender, or of multiple partners, clients, subscribers, suppliers or lenders, this could have a material adverse effect on Corus' business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations. Similarly, current and prospective employees of the Corporation may experience uncertainty about their future roles with the Corporation until the Corporation's strategies with respect to such employees are determined and announced. This may adversely affect the Corporation's ability to attract or retain talent and key employees in the period until the Arrangement is completed or thereafter. The risk, and material adverse effect, of such disruptions could be exacerbated by any delay in the consummation of the Arrangement or termination of the Support Agreement.

The Recapitalization Transaction may not improve the financial condition of Corus' business.

Management of Corus believes that the Recapitalization Transaction will enhance Corus' liquidity and provide it with continued operating flexibility. However, such belief is based on certain assumptions, including, without limitation, that Corus' revenues, partners, clients, subscribers and suppliers will not be materially adversely affected while the Recapitalization Transaction is underway and that such revenues and/or relationships will be stable or will improve following the completion of the Recapitalization Transaction in the increasingly competitive marketplace in which Corus operates, that general economic conditions and the markets for Corus' products will remain stable or improve, as well as Corus' continued ability to manage costs. Should any of those assumptions prove false, the financial position of Corus may be materially adversely affected and Corus may not be able to pay its debts as they become due.

The Recapitalization Transaction will result in substantial dilution to Shareholders.

The Recapitalization Transaction will result in the issuance of a significant number of New Shares to the Senior Noteholders in exchange of the Senior Notes. As a result, Shareholders (other than Supporting Shareholders) whose interests are not extinguished post-Share Consolidation will only hold approximately $1\%$ of the outstanding New Shares. In addition, holders of New Shares will also be subject to the dilution from any Management Incentive Plan adopted following the Effective Date.

The market price of the New Shares will be significantly affected by the Recapitalization Transaction and an active trading market may not develop or be sustained.

The dilution from the Recapitalization Transaction will result in a significant decline in the trading price for the New Shares as compared to the pre-announcement trading price of the Corus Class B Non-Voting Shares. Further, a significant number of New Shares will be held by a relatively small group of holders of existing Senior Notes which may affect the liquidity and trading in the New Shares. There can be no guarantee that an active trading market will develop or be sustained after completion of the Recapitalization Transaction. If a market does not develop or is not sustained, it may be difficult to sell New Shares. This may affect the pricing of the New Shares in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices and the liquidity of the New Shares. The prices at which the New Shares will trade cannot be predicted.

116


Future sales of New Shares by existing shareholders could cause the price of the New Shares to decline.

Sales of a substantial number of New Shares in the public market could occur at any time. These sales, or the perception in the market that the holders of a large number of New Shares intend to sell their New Shares, could reduce the market price of the New Shares.

Parties may make claims against the Corus Entities despite the releases and waivers provided for in the CBCA Plan.

The CBCA Plan includes certain releases to become effective upon the implementation of the Recapitalization Transaction in favour of the Released Parties as set out in the CBCA Plan. Furthermore, the CBCA Plan also provides that, from and after the Effective Time, all Persons named or referred to in, or subject to, the CBCA Plan shall be deemed to have consented and agreed to all of the provisions of the CBCA Plan in its entirety. Without limiting the foregoing, pursuant to the CBCA Plan, all Persons shall be deemed to have waived any and all defaults or events of default, third-party change of control rights, termination rights or any non-compliance with any covenant, warranty, representation, term, provision, condition or obligation, expressed or implied, in any contract, instrument, credit document, lease, licence, guarantee, agreement for sale or other agreement, written or oral, in each case relating to, arising out of, or in connection with the Senior Notes, the Senior Note Documents, the Revolving Credit Facility, the Term Loan Facility, the Credit Documents, the Arrangement, the CBCA Plan, the Support Agreement, the Shareholder Support Agreement, the transactions contemplated under the CBCA Plan, the CBCA Proceedings and any other proceedings commenced with respect to or in connection with the CBCA Plan and any and all amendments or supplements thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation may still be subject to legal actions with regard to such released claims and related matters. Such legal actions may be costly and could require the Corporation to defend such potential claims without recourse for legal costs incurred, even if the Corporation is successful.

The Corporation will incur significant transaction-related costs in connection with the Arrangement, and the Corporation may have to pay various expenses even if the Arrangement is not completed.

The Corporation expects to incur a number of non-recurring costs associated with the Arrangement. The Corporation will incur transaction fees and costs. In addition, certain costs related to the Arrangement, such as legal, accounting and certain financial advisor fees, must be paid by the Corporation even if the Arrangement is not completed.

The pending Arrangement may divert the attention of the Corporation's management.

The pendency of the Arrangement could cause the attention of the Corporation's management to be diverted from the day-to-day operations and customers or suppliers may seek to modify or terminate their business relationships with the Corporation. These disruptions could be exacerbated by a delay in the completion of the Arrangement and could have an adverse effect on the business, operating results or prospects of the Corporation regardless of whether the Arrangement is ultimately completed.

Following completion of the Recapitalization Transaction and the issuance of New Shares, Newco may issue additional equity or debt securities, which could dilute the ownership in Newco of holders of New Shares following completion of the Recapitalization Transaction.

In the future Newco may issue additional securities to raise capital. Newco may also acquire interests in other companies by using a combination of cash and New Shares. Newco may also issue securities convertible into New Shares, whether pursuant to a Management Incentive Plan or otherwise.

Newco may also attempt to increase its capital resources by making additional offerings of debt, including senior or subordinated notes. Because Newco's decision to issue securities in any future offering will depend on market conditions and other factors beyond its control, Newco cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing or nature of future offerings. Thus, holders of New Shares bear the risk of future offerings reducing the market value of New Shares.

Corus may be unable to repay the New Notes or A&R Revolving Credit Facility at maturity.

At maturity, the entire outstanding principal amount of the New Notes and A&R Revolving Credit Facility, together with accrued and unpaid interest, will become due and payable. Corus may not have the funds to fulfill these

117


obligations or the ability to renegotiate these obligations. If, upon the applicable maturity dates, other arrangements prohibit Corus from repaying the New Notes or A&R Revolving Credit Facility, Corus could try to obtain waivers of such prohibitions from the lenders and holders under those arrangements, or Corus could attempt to refinance the borrowings that contain the restrictions. In these circumstances, if Corus were not able to obtain such waivers or refinance these borrowings, Corus would be unable to repay the New Notes or A&R Revolving Credit Facility. In addition to risks associated with the repayment of the A&R Revolving Credit Facility at maturity, there is risk with debt commitment reductions. Furthermore, pre-maturity payments of principal may be required under the A&R Revolving Credit Facility given scheduled debt commitment reductions. The foregoing risks would also apply in the context of principal repayments being required as a result of such scheduled debt commitment reductions.

Risks Relating to the Non-Implementation of the Recapitalization Transaction

Future liquidity and operations of the Corporation (as Newco) are dependent on the ability of the Corporation to restructure its debt obligations and to generate sufficient operating cash flows to fund its on-going operations. If the Corporation does not complete the realignment of its capital structure through the CBCA process described above, it will be necessary to pursue other restructuring strategies that could have a more negative effect on the Corporation. If the Recapitalization Transaction is not implemented pursuant to the CBCA Plan, the Corporation may effect the Recapitalization Transaction by way of an alternative implementation method or proceeding, including by way of an Alternative Transaction, in which case Shareholders and Senior Noteholders may not be entitled to receive any consideration for such securities or retain any of their Senior Notes or Shares, respectively (See "Alternative Implementation Process").

In the event that the Recapitalization Transaction or an Alternative Transaction is not implemented, the Corporation's total third-party debt and other liabilities would not be reduced by approximately $500 million and the associated reduction in debt service costs would not be achieved.

The financial statements incorporated by reference in this Circular have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Corporation will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. However, certain events and conditions indicate material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the Corporation's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements incorporated by reference in this Circular do not reflect the adjustments to the carrying values of assets or liabilities and the reported expenses and consolidated balance sheet classifications that would be necessary if the Corporation were unable to realize its assets and settle its liabilities as a going concern in the normal course of operations. Such adjustments could be material.

Risk Factors Related to the Business and the New Shares

Certain risk factors relating to the business of the Corporation are contained in the 2025 MD&A under the headings "Risks and Uncertainties" (pages 19 through 32). The 2025 MD&A are incorporated by reference in this Circular and have been publicly filed on the Corporation's profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca. Securityholders should review and carefully consider the risk factors set forth in the 2025 MD&A and consider all other information contained therein and herein and in the Corporation's other public filings before determining whether to vote in favour of the resolutions brought before the applicable Meeting.

By exchanging the Senior Notes in part for New Shares pursuant to the Recapitalization Transaction, Senior Noteholders will be changing the nature of their investment from debt to debt and equity. Equity carries certain risks that are not applicable to debt. Senior Noteholders are provided a variety of contractual rights and remedies under the Senior Note Documents that will not be available upon the Effective Date under the equity portion of the Senior Noteholders' security holdings. Claims of Shareholders will be subordinated in priority to the claims of creditors in the event of an insolvency, winding up, or other distribution of the assets of Corus.

Tax Risks

The tax laws of any applicable country, province, state or territory (including Canadian and United States federal income tax laws), and the administrative application and interpretation of such laws, are subject to change. Any change in the tax laws that are applicable to the Corporation or the interests held by a Securityholder in the Corporation, or

118


the administrative application or interpretation of such laws, could have an adverse impact on such Securityholder’s interests in the Corporation.

The summary under Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations set out above does not consider all possible tax consequences relating to the Recapitalization Transaction. In addition, it is possible that the Canadian or applicable foreign tax authorities could take positions or adopt interpretations regarding the applicable tax consequences to Securityholders that differ from those set out in this Circular. Securityholders should consult their own tax advisors.

NEW DEBT TERM SHEET


NEW DEBT TERM SHEET

Dated as of November 2, 2025.

This New Debt Term Sheet (this “Term Sheet”) summarizes the material terms and conditions of certain debt financing transactions intended to take place in connection with a proposed recapitalization transaction (the “Recapitalization Transaction”) involving Corus Entertainment Inc. (“Corus” or the “Company”) and its subsidiaries and controlled affiliates, and a new corporation (“NewCo”) to be formed under the Canada Business Corporations Act (the “CBCA”), to be implemented pursuant to a plan of arrangement under the CBCA (the “CBCA Plan”) or pursuant to an alternative transaction in accordance with the Support Agreement (as defined below) (the “Alternative Transaction”). In the event the Company elects to issue the New Shares (as defined in the Support Agreement) pursuant to section 8(b)(i) of the Support Agreement, the terms set out herein applicable to NewCo shall be deemed to be deleted and/or replaced with Corus, mutatis mutandis.

This Term Sheet is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all relevant terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated herein. Final terms will be included in definitive documentation based on this Term Sheet and executed by the applicable parties and an agreed version of this Term Sheet shall be a schedule to the recapitalization transaction term sheet appended to the Support Agreement (the “Support Agreement”) between Corus and certain of the Senior Noteholders (as defined below) dated as of November 2, 2025. The regulatory, tax, accounting, and other legal and financial matters and effects related to the Recapitalization Transaction have not been fully evaluated, and any such evaluation may affect the terms, structure and timing of the Recapitalization Transaction. All amounts are Canadian dollar denominated unless otherwise specified.

This Term Sheet does not constitute (nor will it be construed as) an offer with respect to any securities or a solicitation of acceptances or rejections as to any plan of arrangement, or plan or reorganization, it being understood that such a solicitation, if any, only will be made in compliance with applicable provisions of securities, bankruptcy, insolvency, and/or other applicable laws.

This Term Sheet does not address all terms that would be required in connection with any debt financing transactions related to the Recapitalization Transaction and entry into or the creation of any binding agreement is subject to the execution of definitive documentation in form and substance consistent with this Term Sheet, including the terms and conditions to be set out in the Support Agreement.

D-2

NEW DEBT INTERCREDITOR TERM SHEET

This New Debt Intercreditor Term Sheet (this “Intercreditor Term Sheet”) summarizes the material terms and conditions of the intercreditor agreement (the "Intercreditor Agreement") to be entered into by the 1L Revolver Agent, the 1L Notes Trustee and the 2L Notes Trustee (each as defined below) in connection with the First Lien Debt and the Second Lien Notes (each as defined below).

This Intercreditor Term Sheet is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all relevant terms and conditions of the Intercreditor Agreement. Final terms will be included in a definitive form of the Intercreditor Agreement based on this Intercreditor Term Sheet and executed by the applicable parties.

Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Intercreditor Term Sheet shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Existing Credit Agreement, the Support Agreement or the New Debt Term Sheet, as applicable.

To the extent there is any inconsistency between this Intercreditor Term Sheet and the New Debt Term Sheet, the terms of this Intercreditor Term Sheet shall prevail.

| Parties: | Computershare Trust Company of Canada, as agent for 1L Revolving Lenders (the "1L Revolver Agent");
Computershare Trust Company of Canada, as trustee for 1L Noteholders (the "1L Notes Trustee"); and
Computershare Trust Company of Canada, as trustee for 2L Noteholders (the "2L Notes Trustee");
each a "Collateral Agent";
Corus; and
NewCo |
| --- | --- |
| Acknowledgement: | Each Collateral Agent shall:
a) acknowledge the obligations of the other secured parties;
b) acknowledge the security held by the other Collateral Agents; and
c) confirm that priority to the security is as set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement notwithstanding order of grant or registration. |


No Contest: Each Collateral Agent shall agree not to contest the enforceability of the loan or note documents and security of the other Collateral Agents.
Security and Priorities: Obligations owing to the First Lien Debt Holders and 2L Noteholders and their respective Collateral Agents (collectively, the "Secured Parties") shall be secured by a security package that is substantially the same as the existing Security provided by the Company (in its capacity as borrower under the Existing Credit Agreement) and the other Credit Parties in connection with the Existing Credit Agreement (including, without limitation, Newco in accordance with the New Debt Term Sheet). The Secured Parties shall not have the benefit of any collateral that is not also collateral held for the benefit of the other Secured Parties.

The obligations owing to the Secured Parties shall rank equal in right of payment with all indebtedness of the Issuer that is not expressly subordinated in right of payment to the First Lien Debt or Second Lien Notes, as applicable. The First Lien Debt shall be secured by a first-priority Lien on all Property of the Credit Parties and the Second Lien Notes shall be secured by a second-priority Lien on all such Property, in each case created under the Security as described in this Intercreditor Term Sheet and subject to Permitted Liens; provided that the proceeds from any enforcement or realization in respect of the Liens securing the First Lien Debt and the Second Lien Notes shall be allocated and applied in accordance with the "Waterfall" terms set forth below.

The 1L Revolver Agent shall have control over all equity interests pledged as collateral and shall hold all certificated securities and related transfer powers so long as the First Lien Revolving Facility has not been repaid in full and terminated. On repayment in full of all amounts owing under the First Lien Revolving Facility and termination of all funding obligations of the 1L Revolving Lenders thereunder, the 1L Revolver Agent shall transfer control of such interests to the 1L Notes Trustee. On repayment in full of the First Lien Notes, such control shall be transferred to the 2L Notes Trustee, or if the Second Lien Notes have been repaid at such time, to the Company. |
| Standstill/Enforcement: | (a) At any time prior to the Initial 1L Revolving Facility Repayment Date (as defined below), the 1L Revolver Agent; and (b) at any time following the Initial 1L Revolving Facility Repayment Date, the Collateral Agent representing the 1L Revolving Lenders or the 1L Noteholders, based on which of the: (x) aggregate loans outstanding under the First Lien Revolving Facility; or (y) aggregate outstanding |

D-3


| | First Lien Notes represents more than 50% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the First Lien Debt at the time of determination (the applicable Collateral Agent under (a) or (b) being referred to herein as the "Controlling Agent"), shall have the exclusive right to initiate enforcement steps in respect of the collateral; provided, however, that (i) if the Controlling Agent has not commenced any enforcement steps within 90 days following the receipt by it of a default notice from (x) any Credit Party or (y) the other Collateral Agent in respect of First Lien Debt (the "Standstill Period"); or (ii) if the Controlling Agent is not realizing on the security in a commercially reasonable manner, the other Collateral Agent in respect of the First Lien Debt may initiate enforcement steps; provided however that, notwithstanding the foregoing, such Collateral Agent shall not exercise or continue to exercise any enforcement rights if, notwithstanding the expiration of the Standstill Period, the Controlling Agent shall have commenced and be diligently pursuing the exercise of any of its rights and remedies with respect to all or a material portion of the collateral in good faith (prompt notice of such exercise to be given to such other Collateral Agent).

In the event that the 1L Revolver Agent or the 1L Notes Trustee has not commenced any enforcement steps within the Standstill Period plus 45 days, the 2L Notes Trustee may initiate enforcement steps but shall only continue with such enforcement steps until the earlier of: (a) the 1L Revolver Agent; or (b) the 1L Notes Trustee, commencing enforcement steps.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Collateral Agent shall have customary rights in respect of filing claims, voting in any form of reorganization and otherwise preserving their claims as secured creditors. |

| Waterfall: | The distribution of payments from the proceeds of enforcement/insolvency shall be applied as follows:

CAPITAL ADVISORS

FTI Capital Advisors, LLC is a member of FINRA/MSRB/SIPC.

December 23, 2025

The Board of Directors

Corus Entertainment Inc.

25 Dockside Drive

Toronto, Ontario M5A, Canada

To the Board of Directors:

FTI Capital Advisors, LLC ("FTICA" or "we" or "us") understands that Corus Entertainment Inc. ("Corus"), on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, the "Company"), is pursuing a recapitalization transaction (the "Proposed Transaction") by way of a statutory plan of arrangement (the "Plan") under section 192 of the Canada Business Corporations Act ("CBCA", and the related proceedings commenced by Corus and 17311737 Canada Inc. (together with Corus, the "Applicants") under the CBCA, the "CBCA Proceedings").

In connection with the Proposed Transaction, Corus has entered into: (1) an amendment, consent and waiver agreement ("Consent & Waiver") with all lenders under Corus' senior secured credit facility (the "Senior Credit Facility"); (2) a support agreement (including all joinders thereto, the "Noteholder Support Agreement") with holders representing more than 74% of Corus' aggregate $750.0 million principal amount of senior unsecured notes (the "Senior Notes" and the holders thereof, the "Senior Noteholders"), pursuant to which such noteholders have agreed to support the Proposed Transaction in accordance with, and subject to, the terms and conditions thereof; and (3) a voting support agreement (including all joinders thereto, the "Shareholder Support Agreement") with the Shaw Family Living Trust and certain of its subsidiaries, affiliates and other related parties (collectively, the "Supporting Shareholders"), being holders of more than 86% of the Class A Voting Shares in the capital of Corus, pursuant to which the Supporting Shareholders have agreed to, among other things, vote their Class A Voting Shares and Class B Non-Voting Shares in the capital of Corus in favor of the Proposed Transaction, subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof.

Further, in respect of the Plan, Corus has obtained an interim order dated December 17, 2025 (the "Interim Order") from the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) (the "Court") providing for, among other things, the calling and holding of meetings of Senior Noteholders and Existing Shareholders (as defined herein) to vote on the Plan (the "Meetings"), determining the notice requirements for the Meetings, setting quorum and voting requirements for the Meetings, setting the record date of December 24, 2025, and other procedural matters, and continuing the stay of proceedings previously granted to protect the Company against any defaults and related steps or actions that may result from the Company's decision to initiate CBCA proceedings, including under the Senior Credit Facility and the Senior Notes.

Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall be given the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Plan, as attached to the management information circular of Corus delivered in connection with the Plan and the Meetings (the “Information Circular”). Unless otherwise indicated, all monetary references herein are stated in Canadian dollars.

FTICA understands that the Proposed Transaction is designed to improve the Company’s capital structure and liquidity profile, including continued access to the revolving facility provided by its senior lenders under the Senior Credit Facility, which has been amended to increase the commitment thereunder to $125.0 million from $75.0 million. It will also support the execution of Corus’ business strategy and opportunities, while sustaining relationships with suppliers, partners, customers and employees, with no anticipated impact to ordinary course obligations to such third parties as a result of the CBCA Proceedings. Specifically, FTICA understands that the Company’s total third party debt will be reduced by approximately $500.0 million, and its anticipated initial annual cash interest expense will be reduced by approximately $40.0 million annually as a result of the Proposed Transaction. The Proposed Transaction contemplates the following key elements:

i. a new corporation (“NewCo”) will be incorporated under the CBCA with authorized capital including Variable Voting Shares and Common Voting Shares (collectively, the “New Shares”);

ii. the Senior Credit Facility will be amended and restated into an amended and restated first lien secured revolving credit facility with a $125.0 million commitment;

iii. Corus’ existing secured term loan facility of $301,098,032.83 in principal amount (the “Term Loan Facility”) will be settled and exchanged for: (A) cash equal to the accrued and unpaid interest in respect of the Term Loan Facility; (B) cash equal to $1,098,032.83, plus the cash proceeds received by Corus pursuant to the Senior Noteholder Participation Option (as defined herein) in repayment of principal amount outstanding; and (C) new first lien senior secured notes in principal amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan Facility following the repayments contemplated in (B) (which notes issued by Corus shall have an aggregate principal amount of $300.0 million, the “New First Lien Notes”);

iv. the Senior Notes will be settled and exchanged for: (A) cash equal to the accrued and unpaid interest in respect of the Senior Notes; (B) New Shares; and (C) $250.0 million principal amount of new second lien senior secured notes issued by Corus (the “New Second Lien Notes”). These New Shares are expected to represent, in aggregate, 99% of the issued and outstanding New Shares on the effective date of the Plan (the “Effective Date”) on a non-diluted basis;

v. all of issued and outstanding Class A Voting Shares in the capital of Corus (the “Class A Voting Shares”) and Class B Non-Voting Shares in the capital of Corus (the “Class B Non-Voting Shares”,

F-3


Corus Entertainment Inc.

and together with the Class A Voting Shares, the “Existing Shares” and the holders thereof, the “Existing Shareholders”) (excluding the Existing Shares held by the Supporting Shareholders, which will be surrendered and cancelled without any payment or other consideration pursuant to the Plan) will be exchanged on a 1:1 basis for New Shares that are expected to represent, in aggregate, 1% of all of the issued and outstanding New Shares on the Effective Date on a non-diluted basis;

vi. Corus will apply to the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) to have the New Shares substituted for its Class B Non-Voting Shares with the result that, subject to the approval of the TSX and the satisfaction of customary listing conditions, the New Shares will be publicly traded on the TSX;

vii. Senior Noteholders that vote in favour of the Plan will also have the opportunity to subscribe for and fund their pro rata share of the New First Lien Notes prior to the Effective Date; provided that, the aggregate participating senior noteholders’ subscription amount equals at least one percent (1%) of the New First Lien Notes (being $3,000,000.0) (the “Senior Noteholder Participation Option”);

viii. holders of New First Lien Notes will be issued warrants to acquire New Shares representing 10% of the issued and outstanding New Shares on a fully-diluted basis as at the Effective Date at an exercise price of $0.01 per New Share on a post-Share Consolidation (as defined herein) basis. Corus will use best efforts to have the warrants listed on a recognized exchange in Canada following the Effective Date;

ix. all issued and outstanding New Shares will be consolidated on the basis of one New Share for every 500 existing New Shares (the “Share Consolidation”); and

x. the board of directors of NewCo will be comprised of five directors to be confirmed and the current directors of Corus will resign on the Effective Date.

FTICA has assumed that any forecasts, projections, estimates, liquidation analysis and budgets of the Company provided to us and used in our analyses have been reasonably prepared reflecting the best currently available information, assumptions, estimates and judgments of or available to Management as to the matters covered thereby, and in rendering the CBCA Opinion, we express no view as to the reasonableness of such forecasts, projections, estimates, liquidation analysis or budgets.

The Chief Executive Officer and (Interim) Chief Financial Officer and Chief Administrative Officer, Chief Legal Officer and Corporate Secretary of the Corus have represented to FTICA in the Certificate, among other things, that as of the date provided and the date thereof, (i) the Information provided to FTICA by

F-7


Corus Entertainment Inc.

or on behalf of the Company for the purpose of FTICA preparing the Opinions was and is complete, true and accurate in all material respects as it relates to the Company and the Proposed Transaction, and did not and does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact (as such term is defined in the Securities Act (Ontario)) or omit to state a material fact necessary to make such Information or any statement contained therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which such information was made or provided or any statement was made; and (ii) any portions of the Information provided to FTICA which constitute forecasts, projections or estimates (among other things), were reasonably prepared and reflected the best currently available estimates and judgments of the Company, and were prepared using the assumptions identified therein or otherwise disclosed to FTICA, which, in the reasonable opinion of the Company, are (or were at the time of preparation) reasonable in the circumstances.

The Opinions are rendered on the basis of securities markets, economic, financial and general business conditions prevailing as of the date hereof and the condition and prospects, financial and otherwise, of the Company and other material interests as they were reflected in the Information reviewed by FTICA. In its analyses and in preparing the Opinions, FTICA made numerous judgments with respect to industry performance, general business, market and economic conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of any party involved in the Proposed Transaction and the Plan.

The Plan is subject to a number of conditions outside the control of any party involved in the Plan and FTICA has assumed that all conditions to the completion of the Plan can be satisfied in due course and in a reasonable amount of time and all consents, permissions, exemptions or orders of third parties or regulatory authorities will be obtained, without adverse conditions or qualifications, and that the Proposed Transaction can proceed as scheduled and without material additional cost to the Company or liability of the Company to third parties.

FTICA has assumed that liquidation in any insolvency process will, for a number of reasons including those outlined herein, have a material negative impact on value of the Company and its business.

FTICA has not independently audited, reviewed, or verified any material produced by Jefferies LLC ("Jefferies"), the Company's investment banking advisor, or KPMG LLP, the Company's financial advisor ("KPMG"), or any assumptions, qualifications, information or conclusions contained therein, nor does FTICA make any representation or warranty, either express or implied, as to the accuracy, completeness or reliability of any materials produced by Jefferies or KPMG, as applicable.

FTICA conducted such financial analyses as it believed were appropriate in the circumstances in order to arrive at its Opinions. However, FTICA has not been engaged to provide and has not provided an opinion as to any matter not specifically addressed in the Opinions. In particular, FTICA has not provided, and this letter should not be construed as: (i) an opinion as to the manner in which the New First Lien Notes and New Second Lien Notes were constructed or with respect to the allocation of consideration under the Plan; (ii) an opinion as to the fairness of the form or quantum of the consideration offered to the Existing Shareholders or as to the effect of the Share Consolidation on any recoveries to be received by any Existing Shareholders pursuant to the Plan; (iii) an opinion as to the validity, enforceability, perfection or priority of any security granted by the Company or any related intercreditor arrangements; (iv) an opinion as to the fairness of the Proposed Transaction and the Plan to any security holders or claimholders of the Company or as to the relative fairness of the Proposed Transaction and the Plan among or between any such holders; (v) a formal valuation or appraisal of the Company or any of its securities or assets; (vi) an opinion as to the fairness of any process underlying the Proposed Transaction and the Plan; (vii) an opinion concerning the future trading price of any of the Company's securities following the completion of the Proposed Transaction; (viii) a recommendation to any stakeholder as to whether or not the securities or claims held by such stakeholder should be held or sold, or to use any voting rights provided in respect of the Plan to vote for or against the Plan, or to participate in any lending or investment opportunity made available pursuant to the Proposed Transaction and the Plan; or (ix) an opinion of the merits of the Company implementing the Plan or any alternative business or implementation strategy that may be available to the Company. The Opinions are not intended to be and do not constitute a recommendation to the Board as to whether it should approve the Proposed Transaction and the Plan.

The Opinions are provided as of the date hereof, and FTICA disclaims any undertaking or obligation to advise any person of any change in any fact or matter affecting any Opinion of which it may become aware after the date hereof. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event that there is any material change in any fact or matter affecting any Opinion after the date hereof, FTICA reserves the right to change, modify or withdraw such Opinion.

The Opinions have been prepared and provided solely for the use of the Board, and may not be used or relied upon by any other person without the prior written approval of FTICA. Except for the inclusion of the Opinions in their entirety and a summary thereof (in a form reasonably acceptable to us) in the Information Circular, the Company's press releases in respect of the Proposed Transaction and the Plan, and the Court materials filed by the Applicants in connection with the Plan, the Opinions are not to be reproduced, summarized, paraphrased, excerpted, disseminated, quoted from or referred to (in whole or in part) without our prior written consent.

FTICA is not a legal, tax, accounting or regulatory expert and FTICA expresses no opinion concerning any of these matters regarding the Proposed Transaction and the Plan.

FTICA has based the Opinions upon a variety of factors. Accordingly, FTICA believes that its analyses must be considered as a whole. Selecting portions of its analyses or the factors considered by FTICA, without considering all factors and analyses together, could create a misleading view of the process underlying the Opinions. The preparation of an opinion is a complex process and is not necessarily susceptible to partial analysis or summary description. Any attempt to do so could lead to undue emphasis on any particular factor or analysis. The Opinions should be read in their entirety.

Methodology

The Opinions have been prepared based on techniques that FTICA considers appropriate in the circumstances, after considering all relevant facts and taking into account FTICA's assumptions, in order to form the Opinions.

Fairness Opinion Considerations

For the purposes of the Fairness Opinion, FTICA considered that the Proposed Transaction would be fair to Corus from a financial point of view if the Proposed Transaction:

i. would provide the Company with an appropriate capital structure going forward, by reducing the amount of debt maturing in the near term, reducing the total amount of debt outstanding and reducing cash interest expenses;

ii. would reduce the risk that the Company's cash flow from operations and available liquidity would be insufficient to provide adequate funds to enable the continuity of business and operations; and

iii. based on these criteria, would be better than other known, feasible alternatives.

F-10


Corus Entertainment Inc.
December 23, 2025

In preparing the Fairness Opinion, FTICA relied upon the discussions, documents and materials referred to under “Scope of Review”, discussed with Management the alternatives available to the Company, and considered, among other things, the following matters:

i. the Company, with its current capital structure, is unable to execute its business plan and service its outstanding obligations;

ii. the Proposed Transaction would substantially reduce the Company’s current third party debt outstanding and its annual cash interest expense;

iii. if the Company has insufficient liquidity to continue to operate the business in the near term or the Company is unable to service its debt as it matures and liabilities as they become due, the likely result, in the absence of implementing the Proposed Transaction, is an insolvency process which would be expected to have a negative impact on the overall enterprise value of the Company;

iv. the Company has the opportunity to effect the Proposed Transaction if the Senior Noteholders and the Existing Shareholders approve the Proposed Transaction in accordance with the Interim Order and other applicable law and if other requisite approvals are obtained;

v. pursuant to the Noteholder Support Agreement, Senior Noteholders holding at least 74% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes have agreed to, among other things, vote (or cause to be voted) all of their Senior Notes (A) in favour of the approval, consent, ratification and adoption of the Proposed Transaction and the Plan (and any actions required in furtherance thereof) in accordance with the terms herein; and (B) against the approval, consent, ratification and adoption of any matter or transaction that, if approved, consented to, ratified or adopted could reasonably be expected to delay, challenge, frustrate or hinder the consummation of the Proposed Transaction or the Plan, as applicable;

vi. pursuant to the Shareholder Support Agreement, Existing Shareholders holding at least 86% of the issued and outstanding Class A Voting Shares and at least 5% of the outstanding Class B Non-Voting Shares have agreed to, among other things, vote (or cause to be voted) all of their Existing Shares (A) in favour of the approval, consent, ratification and adoption of the Proposed Transaction and the Plan (and any actions required in furtherance thereof) in accordance with the terms herein; and (B) against the approval, consent, ratification and adoption of any matter or transaction that, if approved, consented to, ratified or adopted could reasonably be expected to delay, challenge, frustrate or hinder the consummation of the Proposed Transaction or the Plan, as applicable; and

vii. FTICA and Corus are not aware of any other feasible alternatives that are more favorable to the Company than the Proposed Transaction.

Fairness Opinion Conclusion

Based upon and subject to the assumptions, limitations, discussions and considerations set forth herein, FTICA is of the opinion that, as of the date hereof, the Proposed Transaction, if implemented, is fair, from a financial point of view, to Corus.

CBCA Opinion Considerations

The "Policy on arrangements – Canada Business Corporations Act, Section 192" (the "CBCA Policy") recommends that corporations seeking to implement a plan of arrangement pursuant to Section 192 of the CBCA that contemplates the compromise of debt, obtain an opinion in compliance with the CBCA Policy.

As contemplated by the CBCA Policy and for the purposes of the CBCA Opinion, FTICA considered, among other things, the effect of the Proposed Transaction on Security Holders as compared to if Corus were liquidated, including if the estimated aggregate value of the consideration made available to the Security Holders pursuant to the Proposed Transaction would reasonably be expected to equal or exceed the estimated value of the consideration the Security Holders would reasonably be expected to receive in a liquidation.

In preparing the CBCA Opinion, FTICA reviewed and analyzed Management's Liquidation Analysis, including the assumptions and qualifications therein, and Management's estimated ranges of recoveries for the various assets of the Company in a liquidation process. FTICA also relied upon the discussions, documents and materials referred to under "Scope of Review", discussed with Management the alternatives available to the Company, and considered, among other things, the following matters:

i. in a liquidation process, prospective buyers will be aware that the seller is compelled to sell its assets, which may have a negative impact on the value realized;

ii. a liquidation process is likely to have a negative impact on the value of the Company's business as customers, suppliers, creditors and employees react to protect or enhance their interests;

iii. the liquidation process would give consideration to the Company's organizational structure and the structural priority of claims at subsidiaries as opposed to any rights against Corus.

iv. a liquidation process may give rise to additional legal and financial advisory costs, which would be incurred to implement the liquidation and engage in any associated insolvency proceedings. These costs would be recovered out of sale proceeds that would otherwise be available to the Security Holders;

F-12


Corus Entertainment Inc.
December 23, 2025
12

v. the regulatory considerations and current conditions in the telecommunications industry in Canada would likely reduce the field of prospective bidders and constrain the bidding of participants in a liquidation process;

vi. based on Management’s Liquidation Analysis, the Senior Noteholders and the Existing Shareholders would not be expected to receive any recovery in a liquidation;

vii. the outstanding aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Senior Credit Facility and the Senior Notes significantly exceeds the enterprise value of the Company;

viii. the Proposed Transaction would significantly reduce the total amount of debt outstanding and debt maturing in the near-term, and would reduce the risk that the Company’s cash flow from operations and available liquidity would be insufficient to provide adequate funds to finance the continuity of business operations and service its debt. Following the closing of the Proposed Transaction, the Company would have the opportunity to generate incremental value by operating as a going concern;

ix. the Company has the opportunity to effect the Proposed Transaction if the Senior Noteholders and the Existing Shareholders approve the Proposed Transaction in accordance with the Interim Order and other applicable law and if other requisite approvals are obtained;

x. pursuant to the Noteholder Support Agreement, Senior Noteholders holding at least 74% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes have agreed to, among other things, vote (or cause to be voted) all of their Senior Notes (A) in favour of the approval, consent, ratification and adoption of the Proposed Transaction and the Plan (and any actions required in furtherance thereof) in accordance with the terms herein; and (B) against the approval, consent, ratification and adoption of any matter or transaction that, if approved, consented to, ratified or adopted could reasonably be expected to delay, challenge, frustrate or hinder the consummation of the Proposed Transaction or the Plan, as applicable; and

xi. pursuant to the Shareholder Support Agreement, Existing Shareholders holding at least 86% of the issued and outstanding Class A Voting Shares and at least 5% of the outstanding Class B Non-Voting Shares have agreed to, among other things, vote (or cause to be voted) all of their Existing Shares (A) in favour of the approval, consent, ratification and adoption of the Proposed Transaction and the Plan (and any actions required in furtherance thereof) in accordance with the terms herein; and (B) against the approval, consent, ratification and adoption of any matter or transaction that, if approved, consented to, ratified or adopted could reasonably be expected to delay, challenge, frustrate or hinder the consummation of the Proposed Transaction or the Plan, as applicable.

CBCA Opinion Conclusions

Based upon and subject to the assumptions, limitations, discussions and considerations set forth herein, FTICA is of the opinion that, as of the date hereof: (i) the Senior Noteholders would be in a better position, from a financial point of view, under the Proposed Transaction than if Corus was liquidated; and (ii) the Existing Shareholders would be in a better position, from a financial point of view, under the Proposed Transaction than if Corus was liquidated.
