MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR

April 9, 2024

DENTALCORP HOLDINGS LTD.

Notice of Annual General Meeting of Shareholders to be held on May 23, 2024

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the annual general meeting (the “ Meeting ”) of the holders (the “ Shareholders ”) of subordinate voting shares (the “ Subordinate Voting Shares ”) and multiple voting shares (the “ Multiple Voting Shares ”, and together with the Subordinate Voting Shares, the “ Shares ”) in the capital of dentalcorp Holdings Ltd. (the “ Company ”) will be held virtually via live webcast available online at https://virtual-meetings.tsxtrust.com/1599, password “dentalcorp2024” (case sensitive), on May 23, 2024 at 11 a.m. (Toronto time) for the following purposes:

  • (a) to receive the audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 and the auditor’s report thereon (the “ Financial Statements ”);

  • (b) to elect directors to the board of directors of the Company (the “ Board ”);

  • (c) to re-appoint the auditor and to authorize the Board to fix their remuneration; and

  • (e) to transact such other business as may properly come before the Meeting or any adjournment thereof.

The specific details of the foregoing matters to be put before the Meeting are set forth in the Management Information Circular dated April 9, 2024 accompanying this Notice of Meeting (the “ Circular ”). Shareholders are reminded to review the Circular prior to voting .

The Company will use “notice-and-access” to deliver proxy-related materials, including the Circular to Shareholders. Under notice-and-access, the Company is permitted, as an alternative to sending paper copies of the Circular and proxyrelated meeting materials to Shareholders, to provide to Shareholders this notice containing, among other things, information regarding how to access these materials online as well as how to obtain paper copies of the Circular free of charge. Notice-and-access will directly benefit the Company through a substantial reduction in both postage and printing costs and will also promote environmental responsibility by decreasing the large volume of paper documents generated by printing proxy-related materials.

Shareholders may request paper copies of the Circular and the Company’s financial statements and management’s discussion and analysis (the “ MD&A ”) for the most recently completed financial year by mail free of charge by calling TSX Trust Company toll-free at 1-866-600-5869 and entering your 12-digit control number as indicated on your voting instruction form or form of proxy.

If a request for paper copies of the Circular or the Company’s financial statements and MD&A is made prior to the date of the Meeting, the materials will be sent to you within three (3) business days of receiving your request. If a request for paper copies is made on or after the date of the Meeting, and within one year of the Circular being filed on SEDAR+, the materials will be sent to you within ten (10) calendar days of receiving the request.

In order for a Shareholder to receive a paper copy of the Circular in advance of the deadline for submission of voting instructions (currently scheduled for May 21, 2024 and the date of the Meeting, Shareholders should take into account the three (3) business day period for processing requests, as well as typical mailing times. It is estimated that the request for paper copies of the Circular must be received by May 13, 2024, in order to allow sufficient time for processing and mailing prior to the deadline for submission of voting instructions and the date of the Meeting. Please note that if you request paper copies of the Circular, you will not receive a new form of proxy or voting instruction form.

This year, in order to permit registered Shareholders and duly appointed proxyholders to have an equal opportunity to participate, vote and submit questions at the Meeting, regardless of their geographic location, we will hold the Meeting - in a virtual only format, which will be conducted via live webcast available online at https://virtual meetings.tsxtrust.com/1599. Registered Shareholders (as this term is used in the Circular) and duly appointed proxyholders will, on the website, be able to participate in the Meeting, submit questions and vote their Shares while the Meeting is being held. We hope that hosting a virtual meeting helps enable greater participation by our Shareholders by allowing Shareholders that might not otherwise be able to travel to a physical meeting to attend online.

The Board has fixed April 3, 2024 as the record date for the determination of Shareholders entitled to receive notice of and vote at the Meeting. Any Shareholder that has acquired Shares after the record date will not be entitled to receive notice of or vote those Shares at the Meeting.

If you are a registered Shareholder, whether or not you plan to attend the Meeting, you are requested to complete, sign, date and return the enclosed form of proxy to TSX Trust Company, the transfer agent and registrar of the Shares. To bevalid, proxies must be deposited with TSX Trust Company, at 301 100 Adelaide Street West, Toronto, Ontario M5H 4H1, by fax at 416-595-9593 or over the internet at www.voteproxyonline.com no later than 11 a.m. (Toronto time) on May 21, 2024, or 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) prior to the time set for such adjournment or postponement of the Meeting. The deadline for the deposit of proxies may be waived or extended by the chair of the Meeting at their discretion, without notice.

If you are a non‐registered Shareholder (for example, if you hold your Shares in an account with a broker, dealer or other intermediary), whether or not you plan to attend the Meeting, you should complete and send the form of proxy or voting instruction form, as applicable, in accordance with the instructions provided by your broker or intermediary. These instructions include the additional step of registering proxyholders with TSX Trust Company, the transfer agent and registrar of the Shares, after submitting your form of proxy or voting instruction form. Failure to register the proxyholder with our transfer agent will result in the proxyholder not receiving a control number required to participate in the Meeting and only being able to attend as a guest. Non-registered Shareholders who have not duly appointed themselves as proxyholder will be able to attend the Meeting as guests but will not be able to vote or submit questions at the Meeting. Please refer to the voting instructions provided in the “Appointment of Proxyholder and Revocation of Proxies” section of the accompanying Circular and call your broker, investment dealer or other intermediary for information on how you can vote your Shares.

Shareholders who wish to appoint a third-party proxyholder to represent them at the online Meeting must submit their proxy or voting instruction form (as applicable) prior to registering their proxyholder.

DENTALCORP HOLDINGS LTD.

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR

This Management Information Circular (the “ Circular ”) is furnished in connection with the solicitation, by or on behalf of the management of dentalcorp Holdings Ltd. (the “ Company ”), of proxies to be used at the Company’s annual general meeting of the holders (the “ Shareholders ”) of subordinate voting shares (the “ Subordinate Voting Shares ”) and multiple voting shares (the “ Multiple Voting Shares ”, and together with the Subordinate Voting Shares, the “ Shares ”) in the capital of the Company for the purposes set forth in the Notice of Annual General Meeting of Shareholders of the Company (the “ Notice of Meeting ”) accompanying this Circular. The annual general meeting of Shareholders of the Company, or any adjournment(s) or postponements(s) thereof (the “ Meeting ”), will be held virtually via live audio webcast available online at https://virtual-meetings.tsxtrust.com/1599, password “dentalcorp2024” (case sensitive), on May 23, 2024 at 11 a.m. (Toronto time), in accordance with the Virtual Meeting Code of Procedure, set out at Appendix B hereto.

SOLICITATION OF PROXIES

Solicitation of Proxies

It is expected that the solicitation of proxies will be primarily by mail pursuant to “notice-and-access” (as further described below), but proxies may also be solicited personally, in writing or by telephone, email, internet, facsimile or other means of communication by representatives of the Company at nominal cost. The Company may also engage a third party to provide proxy solicitation services on behalf of management in connection with the solicitation of proxies for the Meeting. The cost of solicitation by management will be borne directly by the Company, who will also bear the legal, printing and other costs associated with the preparation of this Circular. The Company will reimburse investment dealers, brokers, banks, custodians, nominees and other fiduciaries for permitted fees and costs incurred by them in mailing soliciting materials to the beneficial owners of Shares, in accordance with National Instrument 54-101, Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer (“ NI 54-101 ”).

If you cannot attend the Meeting, complete and return the enclosed form of proxy in accordance with the instructions contained therein. Shareholders may also elect to vote by use of the internet in accordance with the instructions on the applicable form of proxy.

APPOINTMENT OF PROXYHOLDER AND REVOCATION OF PROXIES

Each of the persons named in the enclosed form of proxy is a director (each, a “ Director ”) of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “ Board ”) and/or officer of the Company. Each Shareholder has the right to appoint as proxyholder a person or company (who need not be a Shareholder of the Company) other than the person(s) designated by management of the Company in the enclosed form of proxy to attend and act on the Shareholder’s behalf at the Meeting or at any adjournment thereof. A Shareholder who wishes to appoint some other person to represent him or her at the Meeting may do so either by inserting such other person’s name in the blank space provided in the form of proxy and signing the form of proxy, or by completing and signing another proper form of proxy, and, in either case, then registering the proxyholder at https://tsxtrust.com/resource/en/75 (please see “ Instructions for Attending and Voting Virtually at the Meeting — Appointment of Proxies ” below for details). Registering your proxyholder is an additional step to be completed AFTER you have submitted your form of proxy. Failure to register the proxyholder will result in the proxyholder not receiving a control number that is required to participate in and vote at the Meeting. Shares represented by the proxy will be voted or withheld from voting in accordance with the instructions of the Shareholder on any ballot that may be called for, and if the Shareholder specifies a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, the Shares will be voted accordingly.

A form of proxy will not be valid for the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof unless it is completed and delivered to the Company’s transfer agent and registrar, TSX Trust Company, 301 – 100 Adelaide Street West, Toronto, Ontario, M5H 4H1, by fax at 416-595-9593 or over the internet at www.voteproxyonline.com, prior to 11 a.m. (Toronto time) on May 21, 2024, or if the Meeting is adjourned or postponed, not less than 48 hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and statutory holidays, before the commencement of such adjourned or postponed Meeting. Late proxies may be accepted or rejected by the chair of the Meeting in his discretion, and the chair of the Meeting of is under no obligation to accept or reject any particular late proxy.

7

A Shareholder may revoke a proxy at any time by an instrument in writing executed by him or her or, if the Shareholder is a Company, under its corporate seal, or by an officer or attorney thereof duly authorized in writing, and by sending it to the same address where the form of proxy was sent and within the delays mentioned therein, or two business days preceding the date the Meeting resumes if it is adjourned, or by delivering it to the chair of such Meeting on the day of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof.

Rather than returning the form of proxy via mail or fax, registered Shareholders may also elect to vote via the internet. Those registered Shareholders electing to vote via the internet must follow the instructions included in the form(s) of proxy received from the Company.

If a Shareholder who has submitted a proxy attends the Meeting via live webcast using a 12-digit control number and accepts the terms and conditions when entering the Meeting online, any votes cast by such Shareholder on a ballot will be counted and the submitted proxy will be disregarded (please see the information under the heading “ Instructions for Attending and Voting Virtually at the Meeting ” below for details).

Voting of Proxies and Exercise of Discretion by Proxyholder

On any ballot that may be called for, the Shares represented by a properly executed proxy given in favour of the person(s) designated by management of the Company in the enclosed form of proxy or voting instruction form will be voted or withheld from voting in accordance with the instructions given on the form of proxy or voting instruction form, and if the Shareholder specifies a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, the Shares will be voted for, against, or withheld from voting, accordingly.

In the absence of such instructions, Shares represented by a proxy will be voted for, against, or withheld from voting, in the discretion of the persons designated in the proxy. The enclosed form of proxy confers discretionary authority upon the persons named therein with respect to amendments or variations to matters identified in the accompanying Notice of Meeting and with respect to other matters which may properly come before the Meeting or any adjournment thereof. If you return your proxy form and do not tell the Company how you want to vote your Shares, your Shares will be voted:

• FOR electing each of the individuals nominated as a Director who are listed in this Circular; and

• FOR reappointing Ernst & Young LLP as auditor and authorizing the Directors to fix the auditor’s remuneration.

Your proxyholder will also be entitled to vote your Shares as he or she sees fit in respect of amendments to matters identified in the Notice of Meeting and on any other item of business that may properly come before the Meeting or any adjournment(s) thereof.

As of the date of this Circular, management of the Company is not aware of any such amendment, variation or other matter to come before the Meeting. However, if any amendments or variations to matters identified in the accompanying Notice of Meeting or any other matters which are not now known to management should properly come before the Meeting or any adjournment thereof, the Shares represented by properly executed proxies given in favour of the person(s) designated by management of the Company in the enclosed form of proxy will be voted on such matters pursuant to such discretionary authority. Unless otherwise required by law or other provisions binding upon the Company, any matter coming before the Meeting, or any adjournment(s) thereof, shall be decided by the majority of the votes duly cast in respect of the matter by Shareholders entitled to vote thereon.

You have the right to appoint a person other than the persons designated in the proxy form to represent you at the Meeting . Such right may be exercised by inserting the name of the person or company in the blank space provided in the enclosed form of proxy or by completing another form of proxy. If you do not specify how you want your Shares voted, your proxyholder will vote your Shares as he or she sees fit on any matter that may properly come before the Meeting.

Failure to register the proxyholder will result in the proxyholder not receiving a control number to participate in the Meeting .

Non-Registered Shareholders

A Shareholder is a non-registered Shareholder if the Shareholder’s Shares are registered either in the name of (in each case, an “ Intermediary ”):

  • (a) an Intermediary that the non-registered Shareholder deals with in respect of the Shares, such as, among others, a bank, trust company, securities dealer or broker, director or administrator of RRSPs, RRIFs, RESPs (each as defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada)) and similar plans; or

10

  • (b) a clearing agency (such as CDS & Co.) of which the Intermediary is a participant.

In accordance with NI 54-101 the Company is distributing copies of materials related to the Meeting to Intermediaries for distribution to non-registered Shareholders and such Intermediaries are to forward the materials related to the Meeting to each non-registered Shareholder (unless the non-registered Shareholder has declined to receive such materials). Such Intermediaries often use a service company (such as Broadridge Investor Communication Solutions in Canada (“ Broadridge ”)), to permit the non-registered Shareholder to direct the voting of the Shares held by the Intermediary, on behalf of the non-registered Shareholder. The Company is paying Broadridge to deliver, on behalf of the Intermediaries, a copy of the materials related to the Meeting to each “objecting beneficial owner” and each “non-objecting beneficial owner” (as such terms are defined in NI 54-101).

- If a Non Registered Shareholder Does Not Wish to Attend the Meeting

Non-registered Shareholders who do not wish to attend the Meeting should carefully follow the instructions on the voting instruction form that they receive from their Intermediary in order to vote the Shares that are held through that Intermediary. Non-registered Shareholders of the Company should submit voting instructions to their Intermediaries in sufficient time to ensure that their votes are received from the Intermediaries by the Company.

- If a Non Registered Shareholder Wishes to Attend and Vote at the Meeting

Since the Company generally does not have access to the names of its non-registered Shareholders, non-registered Shareholders who wish to attend and vote at the Meeting should insert their own name in the blank space provided in the voting instruction form to appoint themselves as proxyholders and then follow their Intermediary’s instructions for returning the voting instruction form.

Registering your proxyholder is an additional step once you have submitted your proxy or voting instruction form. Failure to register the proxyholder will result in the proxyholder not receiving a control number to participate in the Meeting.

Without a control number (described above), proxyholders will not be able to vote at the Meeting.

- If a Non Registered Shareholder Wishes to Revoke Voting Instructions

A non-registered Shareholder may revoke previously given voting instructions by contacting his or her Intermediary and complying with any applicable requirements imposed by such Intermediary. An Intermediary may not be able to revoke voting instructions if it receives insufficient notice of revocation.

RECORD DATE AND QUORUM

The Board has fixed April 3, 2024 as the record date (the “ Record Date ”) for the purpose of determining holders of Shares entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Meeting. Any holder of Shares of record at the close of business on the Record Date is entitled to vote the Shares registered in such Shareholder’s name at that date on each matter to be acted upon at the Meeting. Accordingly, any Shareholder that has acquired Shares after the Record Date will not be entitled to receive notice of or vote those Shares at the Meeting.

The quorum at the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof (other than at an adjournment or postponement for lack of quorum) is present if at least two Shareholders who, together, hold not less than 25% of the votes attaching to the issued and outstanding Shares entitled to vote at the Meeting are present in person or represented by proxy.

VOTING SHARES AND PRINCIPAL SHAREHOLDERS THEREOF

The Company’s authorized share capital consists of (i) an unlimited number of Subordinate Voting Shares, (ii) an unlimited number of Multiple Voting Shares and (iii) an unlimited number of preferred shares, issuable in series. The Subordinate Voting Shares and Multiple Voting Shares are substantially identical with the exception of certain pre-emptive rights to subscribe for additional Shares and the voting and conversion rights attached to the Multiple Voting Shares. The Multiple Voting Shares carry a greater number of votes per Share relative to the Subordinate Voting Shares, and therefore

11

the Subordinate Voting Shares are “restricted securities” within the meaning of such term under applicable Canadian securities laws. As at the Record Date, there were 179,472,721 Subordinate Voting Shares outstanding, each carrying the right to one vote per Share, and 9,183,822 Multiple Voting Shares outstanding, each carrying the right to ten votes per Share, representing approximately 95.1% and 4.9% of the outstanding Shares, respectively, and 66.2% and 33.8% of the voting power attached to all Shares, respectively.

Holders of Subordinate Voting Shares as at the Record Date are entitled to vote such Subordinate Voting Shares at the Meeting on the basis of one vote for each Subordinate Voting Share held. Holders of Multiple Voting Shares as at the Record Date are entitled to vote such Multiple Voting Shares at the Meeting on the basis of ten votes for each Multiple Voting Share held. Except as otherwise noted in this Circular, a simple majority of the votes cast at the Meeting, whether in person, by proxy or otherwise, will constitute approval of any matter submitted to a vote.

To the knowledge of the Directors and executive officers of the Company, as at the date of this Circular no person beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, or exercised control or direction over 10% or more of the voting rights attached to the outstanding Shares of the Company except as stated below.

See “ Matters to be acted upon at the Meeting – Nominees for Election to the Board ”.

Take-Over Bid Protection

Under applicable securities laws in Canada, an offer to purchase Multiple Voting Shares would not necessarily require that an offer be made to purchase Subordinate Voting Shares. In accordance with the rules of the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “ TSX ”) designed to ensure that, in the event of a take-over bid, the holders of Subordinate Voting Shares will be entitled to participate on an equal footing with holders of Multiple Voting Shares, the Rosenberg Group entered into a customary coattail agreement with the Company and a trustee dated May 27, 2021 (the “ Coattail Agreement ”). The Coattail Agreement contains provisions customary for dual-class, TSX-listed corporations designed to prevent transactions that otherwise would deprive the holders of Subordinate Voting Shares of rights under applicable securities laws in Canada to which they would have been entitled if the Multiple Voting Shares had been Subordinate Voting Shares.

The undertakings in the Coattail Agreement do not apply to prevent a sale by the holders of Multiple Voting Shares if concurrently an offer is made to purchase Subordinate Voting Shares that:

  • (a) offers a price per Subordinate Voting Share at least as high as the highest price per share to be paid pursuant to the take-over bid for the Multiple Voting Shares;

  • (b) provides that the percentage of outstanding Subordinate Voting Shares to be taken up (exclusive of Subordinate Voting Shares owned immediately prior to the offer by the offeror or persons acting jointly or in concert with the offeror) is at least as high as the percentage of Multiple Voting Shares to be sold (exclusive of Multiple Voting Shares owned immediately prior to the offer by the offeror and persons acting jointly or in concert with the offeror);

13

  • (c) has no condition attached other than the right not to take up and pay for Subordinate Voting Shares tendered if no Multiple Voting Shares are purchased pursuant to the offer for Multiple Voting Shares; and

  • (d) is in all other material respects identical to the offer for Multiple Voting Shares.

In addition, the Coattail Agreement does not prevent the transfer of Multiple Voting Shares by one Rosenberg Permitted Holder (as such term is defined in the Articles (as defined below)) to another Rosenberg Permitted Holder, provided such transfer is not or would not have been subject to the requirements to make a take-over bid (if the vendor or transferee were in Canada) or would be exempt from certain requirements applicable to take-over bids under applicable securities laws in Canada. The conversion of Multiple Voting Shares into Subordinate Voting Shares, whether or not such Subordinate Voting Shares are subsequently sold, does not constitute a disposition of Multiple Voting Shares for the purposes of the Coattail Agreement.

Under the Coattail Agreement, any sale of Multiple Voting Shares (other than a transfer to a pledgee as security) by a holder of Multiple Voting Shares party to the Coattail Agreement is conditional upon the transferee becoming a party to the Coattail Agreement, to the extent such transferred Multiple Voting Shares are not automatically converted into Subordinate Voting Shares in accordance with the Company’s articles, as amended (the “ Articles ”).

Other than in respect of non-material amendments and waivers that do not adversely affect the interests of holders of Subordinate Voting Shares, the Coattail Agreement provides that, among other things, it may not be amended, and no provision thereof may be waived, unless, prior to giving effect to such amendment or waiver, the following have been obtained: (a) the consent of the TSX and any other applicable securities regulatory authority in Canada; and (b) the approval of at least two-thirds of the votes cast by holders of Subordinate Voting Shares represented at a meeting duly called for the purpose of considering such amendment or waiver, excluding votes attached to Subordinate Voting Shares held by the holders of Multiple Voting Shares or their affiliates and related parties and any persons who have an agreement to purchase Multiple Voting Shares on terms which constitute a sale or disposition for purposes of the Coattail Agreement, other than as permitted thereby. Non-material amendments and waivers that do not adversely affect the interests of holders of Subordinate Voting Shares shall be subject to the approval of the TSX, but shall not require approval of holders of Subordinate Voting Shares.

A copy of the Coattail Agreement is available under the Company’s profile on the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval + (“ SEDAR+ ”) at www.sedarplus.com.

14

of such nominee(s) may be voted by the person(s) designated by management of the Company in the enclosed form of proxy, in their discretion, in favour of another nominee.

Advance Notice Provisions

The Company’s Articles include certain advance notice provisions with respect to the election of our Directors (the “ Advance Notice Provisions ”). The Advance Notice Provisions are intended to: (i) facilitate orderly and efficient annual meetings or, where the need arises, special meetings of our Shareholders; (ii) ensure that all Shareholders receive adequate notice of Board nominations and sufficient information with respect to all nominees; and (iii) allow Shareholders to register an informed vote. Only persons who are nominated by Shareholders in accordance with the Advance Notice Provisions will be eligible for election as Directors at any annual meeting of Shareholders, or at any special meeting of Shareholders if one of the purposes for which the special meeting was called was the election of Directors.

Under the Advance Notice Provisions, a Shareholder wishing to nominate a director is required to provide the Company notice, in the prescribed form, within the prescribed time periods. The Advance Notice Provisions provide requirements for proper written form of notice, which notice shall include information relating to: (i) the person whom a shareholder proposes to nominate for election as a director, which such information includes, among others, number of securities beneficially owned, or controlled or directed, directly or indirectly, by the proposed nominee and the relationship between the Nominating Shareholder and the person nominated as a director; and (ii) the shareholder who is providing the notice and each beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination is made (the “ Nominating Shareholder ”), which such information includes, among others, the number of securities beneficially owned, or controlled or directed, directly or indirectly, by the Nominating Shareholder and its joint actors, if any; any interests in, or rights or obligations associated with any agreement which alters the person’s economic interest in a security of the Company or economic exposure to the Company; representation as to whether such person intends to deliver a proxy circular and/or form of proxy, and in each case, any other information that may be required by applicable laws. The prescribed time periods under the Advance Notice Provisions include, (i) in the case of an annual meeting of Shareholders (including annual and special meetings), not less than 30 days nor more than 65 days prior to the date of the annual meeting of shareholders; provided, that if the first public announcement of the date of the annual meeting of Shareholders (the “ Notice Date ”) is less than 50 days before the meeting date, not later than the close of business on the 10[th] day following the Notice Date; and (ii) in the case of a special meeting (which is not also an annual meeting) of Shareholders called for any purpose, which includes electing directors, not later than the close of business on the 15[th] day following the Notice Date; provided that, in either instance, if notice-and-access (as defined in NI 54-101) is used for delivery of proxy related materials in respect of a meeting described above, and the Notice Date in respect of the meeting is not less than 50 days prior to the date of the applicable meeting, the notice must be received not later than the close of business on the 40[th] day before the applicable meeting.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Approach to Compensation

The Company operates in a dynamic and evolving market. To succeed in this competitive environment and to achieve its business and financial objectives, the Company needs to attract, retain and motivate a highly talented team of executive officers which possesses and demonstrates strong leadership and management capabilities, and fosters the Company’s culture, which is at the foundation of its success and remains a pivotal part of its everyday operations. The Company’s compensation strategy is to attract and retain highly qualified executives who meet these requirements, while also aligning the interests of the executives with the Company’s Shareholders.

The Company’s executive compensation framework is based on the following objectives and principles:

  • provide compensation opportunities in order to attract and retain talented, high-performing and experienced executive officers with the skills and experience that are critical to its success;

  • motivate its executive officers to achieve its business and financial objectives;

  • align the interests of its executive officers with those of its Shareholders by tying a meaningful portion of compensation directly to the long-term value and growth of its business; and

  • provide incentives that encourage growth balanced with appropriate levels of risk-taking and a strong payfor-performance relationship.

The Company offers executive officers cash compensation in the form of base salary and an annual bonus, and equity-based or equity-like compensation which has historically been awarded in the form of stock options under the Legacy Option Plan and Plan Equivalent Options (each as defined below). Upon the closing of its IPO the Company adopted an equity incentive plan (the “ Equity Incentive Plan ”) pursuant to which it may grant long-term equity-based incentives consisting of, options, standalone share appreciation rights (“ SARs ”), performance share units (“ PSUs ”), and/or RSUs to its executive officers. The Company has also adopted the Management Loan Program and Management Preferred Share Program (each, as defined below). The Company believes that equity-based compensation motivates its executive officers to achieve its business and financial objectives, and also align their interests with the long-term interests of its Shareholders. The Company provides base salary to compensate employees for their day-to-day responsibilities, at levels that it believes are necessary to attract and retain talented employees. While the Company has determined that its current executive officer compensation program is effective at attracting and maintaining executive officer talent, the Company evaluates its compensation practices on an ongoing basis to ensure that it is providing market-competitive compensation opportunities for its executive team.

The Company will continue to evaluate its philosophy and compensation program as circumstances require and plans to continue to review compensation on an annual basis. As part of this review process, the Company expects to be guided by the philosophy and objectives outlined above, as well as other factors which may become relevant, such as the cost to it if it were required to find a replacement for a key employee.

- Compensation Setting Process

The Corporate Governance, Nominating and Compensation Committee of the Board (“ GN&C Committee ”) is responsible for assisting the Board in fulfilling its governance and supervisory responsibilities, and overseeing the Company’s human resources, succession planning, and compensation policies, processes, and practices. The GN&C Committee also ensures that compensation policies and practices do not encourage undue risk. The Board has adopted a written charter for the GN&C Committee setting out its responsibilities for administering the Company’s compensation programs and reviewing and making recommendations to the Board concerning the level and nature of the compensation payable to directors and officers of the Company. The GN&C Committee’s oversight includes setting objectives, evaluating performance, and ensuring that total compensation paid to the Company’s senior executive team, personnel who report directly to the Chief Executive Officer and various other key executives and managers is fair, reasonable and consistent with the objectives of the Company’s compensation program. As part of this review, the GN&C Committee may engage an independent compensation consultant to evaluate the Company’s executive compensation program against market practice.

22

Compensation Consultant

Hugessen Consulting (the “ Compensation Consultant ”), an independent consulting firm, was originally retained in 2021 to provide services to the Company in connection with compensation matters, including, among other things, the following:

  • (i) assistance in reviewing the competitiveness of the Company’s current cash and equity-based compensation program for its executive officers and directors; and

  • (ii) the establishment of a peer comparator group of public companies with similar attributes to the Company for the purpose of benchmarking its compensation policies and plans.

Compensation-Related Fees

The Company paid approximately $43,446 throughout Fiscal 2023, $97,000 throughout the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 (“ Fiscal 2022 ”) and $120,000 throughout the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 (“ Fiscal 2021 ”) in fees for services rendered by the Compensation Consultant, related to the determination of executive and director compensation. The provision of all executive compensation matters as well as additional compensation consulting services by the Compensation Consultant requires pre-approval by the Chair of the GN&C Committee.

Risk and Executive Compensation

In reviewing the Company’s compensation policies and practices each year, the GN&C Committee seeks to ensure the executive compensation program provides an appropriate balance of risk and reward consistent with the risk profile of the Company. The GN&C Committee also seeks to ensure the Company’s compensation practices do not encourage excessive risk-taking behaviour by the executive team.

Components of Compensation

The compensation of the Company’s executive officers includes three major elements: (i) base salary, (ii) shortterm incentives, consisting of an annual bonus, and (iii) long-term equity incentives, consisting of stock options and other equity-based or equity-like compensation as may be granted from time to time generally under the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan.

Overall compensation includes base salary, annual incentives, long-term incentives and competitive benefits. Realized compensation is dependent on achieved Company and individual performance.

Fixed Compensation

Base Salary

Base salary is provided as a fixed source of compensation for the NEOs. Initial base salary levels for the NEOs have been determined after review of competitive compensation practices and giving consideration to the overall level of pay competitiveness and the performance of the NEO. Adjustments to base salaries are determined annually and may be increased based on the executive’s success in meeting or exceeding individual objectives and an assessment of the competitiveness of current compensation. Additionally, base salaries can be adjusted as warranted throughout the year to reflect promotions or other changes in the scope of breadth of an executive’s role or responsibilities, as well as to maintain market competitiveness.

Variable Compensation

Annual Incentives

Annual incentives are designed to motivate NEOs to achieve the Company’s short-term corporate goals, and rewards individual and overall performance. Annual incentives are based on objective, identifiable measures set at the beginning of each financial year at the discretion of the GN&C Committee, which may vary from year to year. Annual incentive payments are expected to be determined by the Board on the recommendation of the GN&C Committee and are subject

23

to the Company having sufficient funding under its annual incentive bonus pool, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion.

In Fiscal 2023, the annual incentive scorecard for each of the Chief Executive Officer, former President and Corporate Secretary, and Chief Financial Officer was based entirely on revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, and the amount of PF Adjusted EBITDA after Rent acquired by the Company, while 50% of the annual incentive scorecard for the former Chief Operating Officer and the Chief People Officer was based on these performance indicators, with other strategic initiatives making up the remainder. Beginning in the financial year ending December 31, 2024 (“ Fiscal 2024 ”), the annual incentive scorecard for the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer will be based entirely on revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted Free Cash Flow per Share, while 80% of the annual incentive scorecard for the Chief People Officer will be based on revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, and Same Practice Revenue Growth, with other strategic initiatives making up the remainder. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Free Cash Flow per Share, PF Adjusted EBITDA after Rent, and Same Practice Revenue Growth are each non-IFRS measures. For information on the most directly comparable IFRS measures, composition of the measures, a description of how we use these measures and an explanation of how these measures provide useful information to Shareholders, refer to the “Non-IFRS and Other Financial Measures” section of our management discussion and analysis as at and for the year ended December 31, 2023, available on our profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.com, which is incorporated by reference into this Circular.

Long-Term Incentives

” A description of the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan is set out below under “ Equity Incentive Plan . The Equity Incentive Plan allows the Board to grant long-term incentives to the NEOs, other members of the senior executive team, and other key executives consistent with the provisions of the plan. Together, these long-term incentives are designed to align executive long-term interests with those of the Company’s Shareholders. The mix of these incentives varies by role to recognize the level of executive accountability for overall business performance. Grants of options are used in a targeted way, to focus the NEOs and senior executive team on activities aimed at maximizing long-term Shareholder value. Previous grants and market benchmark inform future equity grants to executives.

Historically, the Company has only granted options to executives. However, on the Compensation Consultant’s recommendation beginning on January 1, 2023, long term incentive grants transitioned to an even split of RSUs and PSUs. This recommendation aligns the long-term incentive plan of the Company with those of our benchmarking peer group.

Additionally, beginning in 2017, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries have made certain loans to key members of senior management (the “ MLP Managers ”) to appropriately incentivize the MLP Managers to advance the interests of the Company (the “ Management Loan Program ”). On March 31, 2023, the Company restructured the MLP Loans (as defined herein) held by certain of the MLP Managers by exchanging the MLP Loans for preferred shares (the “ Management Preferred Shares ”) issued by affiliates of such MLP Managers, to more appropriately incentivize them to advance the interests of the Company (the “ Management Preferred Share Program ”). A description of the Management Loan Program and the Management Preferred Share Program is set out below under “ Management Loan Program and Management Preferred Share Program. ” The Management Loan Program and the Management Preferred Share Program are designed to align the executives’ long-term interests with those of the Company.

Peer Group

Our compensation practice is to annually benchmark the executive compensation of our NEOs against our benchmarking peer group to ensure they are competitively positioned and aligned with our compensation philosophy in order to attract and retain leadership talent required to achieve long-term success.

24

The Compensation Consultant has recommended a benchmarking peer group composed of six companies based in Canada and six companies based in the United States, which were normalised to the Canadian market to balance the fact that U.S. based companies often pay a premium compared to Canadian counterparts. Our compensation benchmarking peer group was determined using the following key determination criteria: industry (typically in the North American healthcare and retail companies); and issuer size (broadly defined to consider multiple dimensions, including financial (e.g., enterprise value and market capitalization) and non-financial measures (e.g., geography and breadth of operations)). This compensation benchmarking peer group is reviewed annually by the GN&C Committee and is currently composed of the following 12 organizations:

Addus HomeCare Corporation. Jamieson Wellness Inc Aritzia Inc. LHC Group Inc. Boyd Group Services Inc. LifeWorks Inc. Chartwell Retirement Residences National Vision Holdings Inc. Huron Consulting Group The North West Company Inc. ICF International Inc. U.S. Physical Therapy Inc.

Performance Graph

The following Performance Graph shows the change in the cumulative total return to a Shareholder who invested $100 on May 21, 2021, on the Company’s Subordinate Voting Shares compared with the MSCI Canada Small Cap Index and the S&P/TSX Composite Index, for the period from the closing of the Company’s IPO on May 21, 2021 to December 31, 2023.

==> picture [333 x 190] intentionally omitted <==

In order to align the interests of the Company’s NEOs with its Shareholders, a substantial portion of compensation paid to our NEOs is in the form of long-term, equity-based incentives such that the overall value of the total compensation paid to our NEOs is directly affected by our stock price. However, stock price performance is not the only predictor or outcome of the success of the Company and its NEOs, especially in the short term. For Fiscal 2023, the compensation outcome for each of our NEOs was below target, partially reflecting the Company’s stock price performance during that period.

In 2018, the Company established a stock option plan, which was amended in 2020 and further amended upon closing of the IPO to, among other things, render the outstanding options exercisable for Subordinate Voting Shares, and to prohibit further awards under the plan (the “ Legacy Option Plan ”) to provide the Company’s directors, officers, and full- and part-time employees a performance incentive for continued and improved services to the Company. As part of the pre-closing capital changes (the “ Pre-Closing Capital Changes ”) undertaken in connection with the IPO, options issued and outstanding under the Legacy Option Plan and options issued outside of, but having the same terms as options granted under, the Legacy Option Plan (the “ Plan Equivalent Options ”), became exercisable for Subordinate Voting Shares.

As of December 31, 2023, options in respect of a total of 2,843,338 Subordinate Voting Shares were issued and outstanding (of which options in respect of a total of 2,426,262 Subordinate Voting Shares were issued under the Legacy Option Plan and of which options in respect of a total of 417,076 Subordinate Voting Shares were issued outside of, but have the same terms as options granted under, the Legacy Option Plan), representing approximately 1.5% of the issued and outstanding Shares and approximately 1.0% of the voting power attached to all of the Company’s Shares. Following closing of the IPO, no further awards were or will be granted under the Legacy Option Plan.

The Legacy Option Plan provides that the Board may amend, suspend, terminate or discontinue the Legacy Option Plan or any provisions thereof, or revoke or alter any action taken in connection therewith, so long as such action does not adversely alter or impair any option previously granted to an option holder under the Legacy Option Plan. In connection with the IPO, the Legacy Option Plan was amended and restated to give effect to, among other things; (i) the changes contemplated by the Pre-Closing Capital Changes, (ii) the addition of provisions that permit the extension of options during black-out periods and (iii) the inclusion of terms and conditions required by the TSX, such as provisions and restrictions relating to amendment of the Legacy Option Plan or outstanding options similar to those applicable to the Equity Incentive Plan summarized below.

Equity Incentive Plan

Long-term incentive compensation awards align the interests of the Company’s executive officers with the interests of its Shareholders by awarding pay-for-performance that reflects the long-term interests of its Shareholders, supports the achievement of its performance objectives, and encourages an appropriate level of compensation risk, while also cultivating longer term retention.

The Company has adopted an Equity Incentive Plan which allows for the grant of options to the Company’s directors, executive officers, employees and other eligible service providers. The Equity Incentive Plan is administered by

28

the Board (which may delegate its authority to the GN&C Committee), and the Board has the authority to interpret the Equity Incentive Plan, including in respect of any award granted thereunder. The Equity Incentive Plan permits the Board to grant awards of options, SARs, RSUs and PSUs to eligible participants (each, a “ Grant ”). The following discussion is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Equity Incentive Plan.

The purpose of the Equity Incentive Plan is to (i) promote further alignment of interests between officers, employees and other eligible service providers of the Company and Shareholders, (ii) associate a portion of the compensation payable to officers, employees and other eligible service providers of the Company with the returns received by Shareholders; and (iii) attract and retain officers, employees and other eligible service providers with the knowledge, experience and expertise required by the Company.

As of December 31, 2023, 7,866,923 options, SARs, RSUs, and PSUs were issued and outstanding representing approximately 5.6% of the issued and outstanding Shares and approximately 4.2% of the voting power attached to all of the Company’s Shares. As of December 31, 2023, an aggregate of 5,785,850 options, SARs, RSUs, and PSUs remain issuable under the Equity Incentive Plan representing approximately 2.9% of the issued and outstanding Shares and approximately 2.1% of the voting power attached to all of the Company’s Shares. The aggregate number of Subordinate Voting Shares that may be issued under the Equity Incentive Plan together with the DSU Plan, and all other security-based compensation arrangements of the Company, including for certainty the Legacy Option Plan (including Plan Equivalent Options), is 16,637,195.

Eligibility

Any individual employed by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company, a director of the Company, and a service provider, who, by the nature of his or her position or job is, in the opinion of the Board, in a position to contribute to the success of the Company (“ Eligible Persons ”) is eligible to receive Grants under the Equity Incentive Plan.

Subordinate Voting Shares Reserved for Issuance

The aggregate number of Subordinate Voting Shares that may be issued pursuant to Grants made under the Equity Incentive Plan, together with all other security-based compensation arrangements of the Company, including for certainty the Legacy Option Plan (including Plan Equivalent Options) and the DSU Plan (as defined below), is 16,637,195. The aggregate number of Subordinate Voting Shares reserved for issuance to any one participant under the Equity Incentive Plan (a “ Participant ”), together with all other security-based compensation arrangements of the Company, will not exceed 5% of the aggregate issued and outstanding Subordinate Voting Shares from time to time. For purposes of computing the total number of Subordinate Voting Shares available for grant under the Equity Incentive Plan or any other security-based compensation arrangement of the Company, Subordinate Voting Shares subject to any Grant (or any portion thereof) that are forfeited, surrendered, cancelled or otherwise terminated prior to the issuance of such Subordinate Voting Shares will again be available for grant under the Equity Incentive Plan.

Insider Participation Limit

The maximum number of Shares that are (i) issued to insiders within any one year period; and (ii) issuable to insiders, at any time, under the Equity Incentive Plan, or when combined with all of the Company’s other security-based compensation arrangements, will not exceed 10% of the aggregate number of issued and outstanding Subordinate Voting Shares from time to time.

Options

The Equity Incentive Plan provides that options granted, unless otherwise designated by the Board, vest in five equal installments over a five-year period, with 20% of the options vesting on each of the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth anniversary of the date of Grant, based on continued employment. Options may be exercised during a period determined by the Board, which may not exceed ten years from the date of Grant. The exercise price for each Subordinate Voting Share subject to an option is fixed by the Board but under no circumstances may any exercise price be less than 100% of the Market Price (as defined in the Equity Incentive Plan) on the date of Grant of the option. The exercise of options may be subject to other vesting conditions, including specific time schedules for vesting and performance-based conditions.

29

The Equity Incentive Plan provides that if the normal expiry date of a Participant’s option falls within a blackout period applicable to such Participant, then the expiry date of such option shall automatically be extended to the date that is 10 business days following the end of such blackout period.

Stock Appreciation Rights

The Equity Incentive Plan provides that Eligible Persons may be granted SARs, being a right to receive a cash amount equal to the amount, if any, by which the Market Price on the date of exercise of the SAR exceeds the Market Price of the Shares at the time of the Grant (the “ Base Price ”). Such amounts may also be payable by the issuance of Subordinate Voting Shares (at the discretion of the Board). The exercise of SARs may be subject to conditions similar to those which may be imposed on the exercise of options.

The Equity Incentive Plan provides that if the normal expiry date of a Participant’s SAR falls within a blackout period applicable to such Participant, then the expiry date of such SAR shall automatically be extended to the date that is 10 business days following the end of such blackout period.

Share Units

The Equity Incentive Plan provides that Eligible Persons may be allocated share units in the form of RSUs or PSUs (collectively, “ Share Units ”), which represent the right to receive an equivalent number of Subordinate Voting Shares or the Market Price in cash on the vesting date. The issuance of such Subordinate Voting Shares may be subject to vesting requirements similar to those described above with respect to the exercise of options and SARs, including such time- or performance-based conditions as may be determined from time to time by the Board in its discretion. The Equity Incentive Plan provides for the express designation of Share Units as either RSUs, which have time-based vesting conditions, or PSUs, which have performance-based vesting conditions over a specified period.

The Equity Incentive Plan provides that if Share Units are scheduled to settle during a blackout period, such settlement shall be postponed until the trading day following the date on which the blackout period ends (or as soon as practicable thereafter, and in any event, within 10 business days following the end of the blackout period), and the Market Price of any RSUs or PSUs settled in cash will be determined as of the trading day immediately prior to the settlement date.

Termination of Grants

Subject to the terms of the applicable Grant agreement, a Participant’s employment agreement or compensation arrangements: (i) in the case of a Participant’s termination of employment due to death or disability, all of the Participant’s outstanding options, SARs and Share Units which would have vested prior to or on the third anniversary of the date of Grant but for the Participant’s termination due to death or disability will vest and be exercisable during the 12-month period following the Participant’s date of termination of employment due to death or disability and the Participant’s outstanding options, SARs and Share Units that are otherwise unvested on the Participant’s date of termination of employment due to death or disability will be forfeited, and (ii) in the case of a Participant’s termination of employment due to resignation or termination without cause, the Participant’s outstanding options, SARs and Share Units that have become vested prior to the Participant’s date of termination of employment will continue to be exercisable during the 90day period following the Participant’s date of termination of employment and the Participant’s outstanding options, SARs and Share Units that are unvested on the Participant’s date of termination of employment will be forfeited. In the case of a Participant’s termination for cause, any and all then-outstanding, vested and unvested, options, SARs and Share Units, granted to the Participant will be immediately forfeited and cancelled, without any consideration therefore, as of the date of termination for cause.

Transferability

No Grant, and no rights or interests therein, will or may be assigned, transferred, sold, exchanged, encumbered, pledged or otherwise hypothecated or disposed of by a Participant, including by operation of law, except as follows: (i) to a registered retirement income fund, registered retirement savings plan or tax-free savings account (each as defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada)), of which the Participant is and remains the annuitant or holder; (ii) to a corporation, of which the Participant is and remains the sole shareholder; (iii) on the death of the Participant, by will or applicable laws of

30

succession; (iv) bona fide estate planning purposes with the prior written consent of the Company, as approved by the Board; or (v) with the prior written consent of the Company, as approved by the Board. A Participant may not grant a security interest in, pledge or otherwise encumber a Grant.

Adjustments

The Equity Incentive Plan contains provisions for the equitable treatment of Grants in relation to any capital changes and with regard to a dividend, split, recapitalization, reclassification, amalgamation, arrangement, merger, consolidation, combination or exchange of Subordinate Voting Shares or distribution of rights to holders of Subordinate Voting Shares or any other relevant changes to the authorized or issued capital of the Company.

Change in Control

The Equity Incentive Plan provides that in the event of a Change in Control (as defined in the Equity Incentive Plan) prior to the vesting of a Grant, and subject to the terms of a Participant’s employment agreement and the applicable Grant agreement, the Board has full authority to determine in its sole discretion the effect, if any, of a Change in Control on the vesting, exercisability, settlement, payment or lapse of restrictions applicable to a Grant.

Amendment and Termination

The Equity Incentive Plan and any Grant made pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan may be amended, modified or terminated by the Board without approval of Shareholders, provided that no amendment may be made without the consent of a Participant if it adversely alters or impairs the rights of the Participant in respect of any Grant previously made to such Participant. For greater certainty, the Equity Incentive Plan may not be amended without Shareholder approval to do any of the following:

  • (a) increase the maximum number of Subordinate Voting Shares issuable pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan;

  • (b) reduce the exercise price of an outstanding option or the Base Price of a SAR, except as otherwise provided under “ – Adjustments ” and “Change in Control ”;

  • (c) extend the maximum term of any Grant made under the Equity Incentive Plan, except in the case of an extension due to a blackout period;

  • (d) amend the assignment provisions described above under “ – Transferability ”;

  • (e) increase the number of Subordinate Voting Shares that may be issued or issuable to insiders above the restriction or deleting the restriction on the number of Subordinate Voting Shares that may be issued or issuable to insiders;

  • (f) include other types of equity compensation involving the issuance of Subordinate Voting Shares under the Equity Incentive Plan; or

  • (g) amend the amendment provisions of the Equity Incentive Plan to amend or delete any of (a) through (k) or grant additional powers to the Board to amend the Equity Incentive Plan or entitlements without Shareholder approval;

provided that, Shareholder approval is not required for, among other things, the following amendments:

  • (h) amendments of a “housekeeping” nature;

  • (i) a change to the vesting provisions of any Grants;

  • (j) a change to the termination provisions of any Grant that does not entail an extension beyond the original term of the Grant; or

  • (k) amendments to the provisions relating to a Change in Control.

Subject to the foregoing, the Board may also, from time to time, amend the Equity Incentive Plan for purposes of establishing one or more sub-plans for the benefit of eligible individuals subject to the laws of a jurisdiction other than Canada in connection with their participation in the Equity Incentive Plan.

31

The following table describes the impact of certain events upon the rights of holders under the Equity Incentive Plan, including termination for cause, termination due to resignation, disability or death, and termination other than for cause, subject to the terms of a Participant’s employment agreement, other compensation arrangements and the applicable Grant agreement:

Management Loan Program and Management Preferred Share Program

Beginning in 2017, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries made certain loans to the MLP Managers to appropriately incentivize the MLP Managers to advance the interests of the Company. For a description of the terms of the MLP Loans issued to the MLP Managers, see “ Indebtedness of Directors and Officers – Management Loan Program ”, below.

On March 31, 2023, the Company restructured the MLP Loans (as defined herein) held by each of the Company's former President, Guy Amini, and Chief Financial Officer, Nate Tchaplia, in order to more appropriately incentivize Messrs. Amini and Tchaplia to advance the interests of the Company. Pursuant to the restructuring, the Company’s full interests in the MLP Loans made to each of Messrs. Amini and Tchaplia were transferred to private holding companies which are wholly owned by Messrs. Amini and Tchaplia, respectively (each, a “ HoldCo ”). In consideration for the transfer of these loan receivables, each HoldCo issued $12.8 million face amount of Management Preferred Shares. On February 29, 2024, the Company and Mr. Amini agreed to certain amendments to the terms of Mr. Amini’s Management Preferred Shares in connection with Mr. Amini’s departure from the Company.

Each HoldCo may redeem a specified face amount of the Management Preferred Shares on specified dates for nominal consideration (in the case of Mr. Tchaplia’s HoldCo, $6.4 million face amount on the second anniversary of issuance; $3.2 million face amount on the third anniversary of issuance; and $3.2 million face amount on the fourth anniversary of issuance; and in the case of Mr. Amini’s HoldCo, $6.4 million face amount on the second anniversary of issuance; $1.6 million face amount on the third anniversary of issuance; and $1.6 million face amount on the fourth anniversary of issuance). If Mr. Tchaplia is terminated for cause or resigns without good reason, then all of the Management Preferred Shares issued by Mr. Tchaplia’s HoldCo would be required to be redeemed immediately at 100% of their face value. If Mr. Tchaplia is terminated without cause in connection with certain change of control events that occur after 2023, or if he suffers a death or disability, all of Mr. Tchaplia’s HoldCo’s Management Preferred Shares that remain outstanding would become redeemable for nominal consideration. If Mr. Tchaplia is terminated without cause, $6.4 million face amount of Mr. Tchaplia’s HoldCo’s Management Preferred Shares would become redeemable for nominal consideration immediately (and if such termination occurs prior to the second anniversary of issuance, the remaining Management Preferred Shares of Mr. Tchaplia’s HoldCo would become redeemable at 100% of their face value six months later).

The ability of a HoldCo to make any redemption payment that may be required under the terms of its Management Preferred Shares will be subject to the value of the subordinate voting shares of the Company owned by the HoldCo, net of any liabilities of the HoldCo, being sufficient to satisfy such redemption payment. Although each HoldCo has agreed to certain restrictive covenants imposing limitations (subject to certain exceptions) on its ability to (among other things) sell subordinate voting shares of the Company, incur additional liabilities, pay dividends or similar distributions, and

32

repurchase its own common shares, there can be no assurance that a HoldCo will have sufficient funds to satisfy a redemption payment on the Management Preferred Shares.

Employment Agreements

Pursuant to written employment agreements between the Company and each of its NEOs, for Fiscal 2023 each executive is (or was, for the NEOs who are no longer employed by the Company) entitled to receive compensation established by the Company, as well as other benefits in accordance with plans available to the most senior employees.

Such agreements entitle (or entitled, for the NEOs who are no longer employed by the Company) each of the Company’s NEOs to certain compensation and benefits in connection with termination of their employment without cause or, in the case of any of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, former President and Corporate Secretary and Chief Financial Officer, in the event of their resignation for good reason. As provided in such agreements, if terminated without cause or, in the case of any of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, former President and Corporate Secretary and Chief Financial Officer in the event of their resignation for good reason, the NEOs will be entitled to a severance payment equal to: (i) all base salary and vacation pay accrued and owing up to and including the termination date, and in the case of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, former President and Corporate Secretary and Chief Financial Officer, payment in lieu of an annual incentive award for the year in which termination occurs, pro-rated to the termination date, (ii)(A) in the case of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, continued compensation for a period of 36 months calculated with reference to base salary and the average percentage bonus paid to such NEO in the 3 years prior to the year in which employment terminates, (B) in the case of the Company’s former President and Corporate Secretary and Chief Financial Officer, continued compensation for a period of 24 months calculated with reference to base salary and the average percentage bonus paid to such NEO in the 3 years prior to the year in which employment terminates, (C) in the case of the Company’s former Chief Operating Officer, the greater of (i) 3 months’ base salary, and (ii) the minimum notice or pay in lieu of notice, benefit continuation, severance pay, vacation pay and all other minimum entitlements (if and as applicable) expressly required pursuant to applicable employment or labour standards legislation, and (D) in the case of the Company’s Chief People Officer, the greater of (i) 16 weeks’ base salary, and (ii) the minimum notice or pay in lieu of notice, benefit continuation, severance pay, vacation pay and all other minimum entitlements (if and as applicable) expressly required pursuant to applicable employment or labour standards legislation, and (iii) subject to certain required approvals and inclusions, (A) in the case of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, former President and Corporate Secretary and Chief Financial Officer, continued participation in the Company’s group benefit plan for a period of 18 months. Further, in the event that any of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, former President and Corporate Secretary and Chief Financial Officer is terminated without cause or resigns for good reason, (i) all RSUs held by such individual that are scheduled to vest in the twelve months following the date of termination shall immediately vest and all unvested RSUs held by such individual as of the date of termination shall be forfeited; and (ii) all PSUs shall continue to vest on the third anniversary of the vesting commencement date. The number of PSUs that vest in such manner shall equal the number of PSUs granted on the grant date multiplied by a factor provided for in such individual’s respective compensation letter. In addition, in the event (i) the Company’s Chief Executive Officer employment terminates due to death or disability or (ii) Company’s Chief Executive Officer, former President and Corporate Secretary and Chief Financial Officer respective employment terminates due to a change of control in the Company that results in it ceasing to be listed on a stock exchange, (i) all unvested RSUs shall vest immediately, and (ii) all PSUs shall vest immediately, with the number of PSUs that vest determined by multiplying the number of PSUs granted on the grant date multiplied by a factor provided for in such individual’s respective compensation letter.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

General

The significant elements of the compensation program for members of the Board and its committees are discussed below. The compensation of the Company’s directors is designed to attract and retain committed and qualified directors and to align their compensation with the long-term interests of its Shareholders. None of the Company’s directors who is

35

an executive officer (each, an “ Excluded Director ”) is entitled to receive any compensation for his or her service as a director of the Board.

Director Compensation

The Company’s director compensation program is designed to attract and retain the most qualified individuals to serve on the Board. The Board, on the recommendation of the GN&C Committee, is responsible for reviewing and approving any changes to the directors’ compensation arrangements. In consideration for serving on the Board, each director (other than Excluded Directors) is paid an annual retainer, 50% of which is paid in DSUs and 50% of which may, at the relevant director’s discretion, be paid in cash or in some combination of cash and DSUs, and are reimbursed for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred while serving as directors. Any director compensation payable to Sandra Bosela is paid in cash to OPTrust Investor for so long as OPTrust Investor is an investor in the Company. Each of Andrew Taub and Rajan Shah has entered into nominee and indemnity agreements, pursuant to which, among other things, he has agreed to direct or transfer all cash proceeds received by or shares issued to him on settlement of DSUs to Catterton Management Company, L.L.C. Pursuant to the agreements, each has further agreed that he has no discretionary duties with respect to any of the DSUs. Subject to the foregoing, the chart below outlines our director compensation program for our non-employee directors.

Notes:

(1) Graham Rosenberg did not receive additional compensation for serving as a director on the Board.

(2) The Lead Director, Mr. Rosenthal, did not receive any additional compensation for acting as a Committee Chair.

Long Term Incentive Plan

Deferred Share Unit Plan

The Board has adopted a deferred share unit plan (the “ DSU Plan ”) as a component of the Company’s long-term incentive compensation arrangements available for each Eligible Director (as defined in the DSU Plan). The DSU Plan is administered by the Board (which may delegate its authority to the GN&C Committee), and the Board has the authority to interpret and administer the DSU Plan, including in respect of any DSU awarded thereunder. The following discussion is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the DSU Plan.

The DSU Plan provides Eligible Directors with the opportunity to receive their compensation, or a portion thereof, in the form of DSUs, representing, at any particular date, a unit equivalent in value equal to the Market Price (for the purposes of this section, as defined in the DSU Plan) of a Subordinate Voting Share. Each Eligible Director who elects to receive DSUs is entitled to redeem his or her DSUs following such Eligible Director’s death, resignation or retirement from the Board and, if such director becomes an employee of the Company, upon his or her termination (with or without cause) as an employee. DSUs may be settled in cash, Subordinate Voting Shares or a combination thereof, in accordance with the terms of the DSU Plan.

The aggregate number of Subordinate Voting Shares that may be issued under the DSU Plan, together with all other security-based compensation arrangements of the Company, including for certainty the Legacy Option Plan (including Plan Equivalent Options) and the Equity Incentive Plan, is 16,637,195. In addition, the aggregate number of Subordinate Voting Shares reserved for issuance under the DSU Plan, in combination with the aggregate equity award value of any grants that are eligible to be settled in Subordinate Voting Shares under any other security-based compensation arrangement and made other than in lieu of cash fees, will not exceed 5% of the number of issued and outstanding Subordinate Voting Shares from time to time. Furthermore, the aggregate equity award value of any grant of DSUs under the DSU Plan for a year, together with the aggregate equity award value of any grants that are eligible to be settled in Subordinate Voting Shares under any other security-based compensation arrangement and made other than in lieu of cash fees, will not exceed $500,000.

The maximum number of Subordinate Voting Shares that are: (i) issued to insiders within any one year period; and (ii) issuable to insiders, at any time, under the DSU Plan, or when combined with all of the Company’s other securitybased compensation arrangements, will not exceed 10% of the number of the aggregate issued and outstanding Subordinate Voting Shares from time to time.

The DSU Plan provides that on any payment date for dividends paid on Subordinate Voting Shares, an Eligible Director shall be credited with dividend equivalents in respect of the DSUs credited to such Eligible Director’s account and converted into additional DSUs. The additional dividend equivalent DSUs credited to a Eligible Director’s account will be subject to the same terms and conditions, including vesting and settlement terms, as the corresponding DSUs.

The DSU Plan contains provisions for the equitable treatment of DSUs granted under the DSU Plan in relation to any capital changes and with regard to a dividend, split, recapitalization, reclassification, amalgamation, arrangement, merger, consolidation, combination or exchange of Subordinate Voting Shares or distribution of rights to holders of Subordinate Voting Shares or any other relevant changes to the authorized or issued capital of the Company. The DSU Plan also provides that if DSUs are scheduled to settle during a blackout period, such settlement shall be postponed until the second trading day following the date on which the blackout period has expired (or as soon as practicable thereafter, and in any event, within 10 business days following the end of the blackout period).

DSUs granted under the DSU Plan are generally not assignable or transferable, whether voluntarily, involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

The DSU Plan and any grant of DSUs under the DSU Plan may be amended or modified by the Board without approval of Shareholders, provided that no such amendment may be made without the consent of an Eligible Director if it adversely affects the rights of such director in respect of any amount which such director has elected to receive DSUs or has been granted DSUs. For greater certainty, the DSU Plan may not be amended without Shareholder approval to do any of the following:

  • (a) increase in the maximum number of Subordinate Voting Shares issuable pursuant to the DSU Plan;

  • (b) increase or remove Eligible Director participation limits;

  • (c) increase the number of Subordinate Voting Shares that may be issued or issuable to Insiders (as defined in the DSU Plan) above the restriction or deleting the restriction on the number of Subordinate Voting Shares that may be issued or issuable to Insiders;

  • (d) change the term of any DSU;

  • (e) reduce the Market Price in respect of any DSU;

  • (f) change the categories of individuals eligible to be selected for grants of DSUs;

  • (g) permit DSUs to be transferable or assignable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution; or

  • (h) amend the amendment provision of the DSU Plan to amend or delete any of (a) through (m) or grant additional powers to the Board to amend the DSU Plan or entitlements without Shareholder approval;

provided that, Shareholder approval shall not be required for, among other things, the following amendments:

  • (i) amendments of a “housekeeping” nature;

  • (j) amendments to the terms and conditions of the DSU Plan necessary to ensure that the DSU Plan complies with applicable law and regulatory requirements, including the requirements of any applicable stock exchange, in place from time to time;

  • (k) amendments to the provisions of the DSU Plan respecting administration of the DSU Plan and eligibility for participation under the DSU Plan;

  • (l) amendments to the provisions of the DSU Plan respecting the terms and conditions on which DSUs may be granted pursuant to the DSU Plan; and

  • (m) any other amendments not requiring Shareholder approval under applicable laws or the requirements of any applicable stock exchange.

37

The Board may terminate the DSU Plan at any time but no such termination shall, without the consent of the Eligible Director or unless required by law, adversely affect the rights of a non-employee director with respect to any amount in respect of which a Eligible Director has elected to receive DSUs or DSUs which the Eligible Director has then been granted under the DSU Plan.

Following the end of an eligible director’s tenure as a member of the Board, the director will receive Shares represented by his or her DSUs, a payment in cash equal to the fair market value of the Shares represented by his or her DSUs, or a combination of the two, on the director’s elected redemption date. Each director’s elected redemption date will not be earlier than the date on which the director’s tenure as a member of the Board ceases and will not be later than December 15th of the year following the year in which the director’s tenure as a member of the Board ceases. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the elected redemption date for directors who are U.S. taxpayers shall be the first trading day after the director’s date of termination and all of his or her DSUs shall be redeemed as soon as practicable after such date and no later than December 31 of such calendar year.

As of December 31, 2023, DSUs in respect of a total of 141,084 Subordinate Voting Shares were issued and outstanding representing 0.07% of the issued and outstanding Shares and 0.05% of the voting power attached to all of the Company’s Shares. As of December 31, 2023, 6,105,940 DSUs remain issuable under the DSU Plan representing approximately 3.5% of the issued and outstanding Shares and approximately 2.2% of the voting power attached to all of the Company’s Shares. The aggregate number of Subordinate Voting Shares that may be issued under the DSU Plan together with the Equity Incentive Plan, and all other security-based compensation arrangements of the Company, including for certainty the Legacy Option Plan (including Plan Equivalent Options), is 16,637,195.

Directors and Officers Liability Insurance

All liabilities and potential liabilities under the Company’s indemnification agreements must be supported by a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy or policies, and as such, the Company’s Directors and officers are covered under its existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance. Under this insurance coverage, the Company will be reimbursed for insured claims where payments have been made under indemnity provisions on behalf of the Company’s Directors and officers, subject to a deductible for each loss, which will be paid by the Company. The Company’s individual Directors and officers will also be reimbursed for insured claims arising during the performance of their duties for which they are not indemnified by the Company. Excluded from insurance coverage are certain wrongful acts, acts which result in personal profit and certain other acts.

INDEBTEDNESS OF DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

Management Loan Program

Beginning in 2017, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries made certain loans to key members of senior management (the “ MLP Managers ”) to appropriately incentivize the MLP Managers to advance the interests of the Company (the “ Management Loan Program ”).

Pursuant to the Management Loan Program, the MLP Managers, from time to time, subscribed for shares in the capital of the Company (the “ MLP Shares ”). To satisfy the subscription price for such MLP Shares, each MLP Manager delivered a promissory note, in a principal amount equal to the subscription price for the MLP Shares being subscribed for, in favour of a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (each an “ MLP Note ” and together, the “ MLP Loans ”), and such subsidiary, in turn, delivered a promissory note in the same principal amount to the Company. In connection with the Pre-Closing Capital Changes, each MLP Note was amended and restated to evidence the indebtedness of the applicable MLP Manager to the Company in connection with past issuance of MLP Shares.

On March 31, 2023, the Company restructured the MLP Loans of each of the Company's former President, Guy Amini, and Chief Financial Officer, Nate Tchaplia, in order to more appropriately incentivize Messrs. Amini and Tchaplia to advance the interests of the Company. See “Executive Compensation – Security-Based Compensation Plans – Management Loan Program and Management Preferred Share Program”. As of the date hereof, the MLP Loans of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Rosenberg, remain outstanding.

Each MLP Note was (or, in the case of Graham Rosenberg, is) a non-interest bearing, limited recourse loan, secured against some or all, as the case may be, of the applicable MLP Manager's MLP Shares and maturing on the date that is five (5) years following the closing of the IPO. The Company agreed, pursuant to the MLP Notes delivered by (i) Mr. Rosenberg and an affiliate of Mr. Rosenberg, (ii) Mr. Amini and an affiliate of Mr. Amini, and (iii) Mr. Tchaplia and an affiliate of Mr. Tchaplia, (x) that the guarantee by any affiliate of Mr. Rosenberg, Mr. Amini or Mr. Tchaplia, respectively, of the MLP Loan delivered by Mr. Rosenberg, Mr. Amini and Mr. Tchaplia, respectively, would be subordinated and postponed to the repayment in full of the loans, made to the affiliates of Mr. Rosenberg, Mr. Amini and Mr. Tchaplia, respectively, by an affiliate of CIBC World Markets Inc., in connection with the IPO, and (y) that it would in the future enter into an agreement by which it would subordinate and postpone any security held by the Company under such MLP Note in favour of any debt or security granted in respect of those MLP Shares by Mr. Rosenberg or an affiliate of Mr. Rosenberg, Mr. Amini or an affiliate of Mr. Amini and Mr. Tchaplia or an affiliate of Mr. Tchaplia, respectively, to a third party lender up to an amount not to exceed $50 million (in the case of Mr. Rosenberg) or $4 million (in the case of Mr. Amini and Mr. Tchaplia, each). The MLP Loans were (or, in the case of Mr. Rosenberg, are) repayable by the applicable MLP Manager at any time and from time to time prior to maturity and without penalty, unless the MLP Manager transfers (other than pursuant to certain permitted transfers) any of their MLP Shares and/or certain other specified Shares held by the MLP Manager, as the case may be, (any such transferred Shares being, the “Specified MLP Shares”) prior to maturity (each such transfer being a “ Mandatory Repayment Transfer ”). At the time of any Mandatory Repayment Transfer occurring prior to the loan forgiveness described below, the MLP Manager would be required to repay 50% of the portion of the MLP Loan that was proportionate to the number of Specified MLP Shares transferred by the MLP Manager relative to the total number of Specified MLP Shares originally issued to such MLP Manager. At the time of any Mandatory Repayment Transfer occurring following the loan forgiveness described below, the MLP Manager would be required to repay the portion of the unpaid loan amount that is proportionate to the number of Specified MLP Shares held by the applicable MLP Manager as of the time of such loan forgiveness. In the event that the 45-trading day volume weighted average price of the Subordinate Voting Shares of the Company exceeds $28.00 per share (subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments) (the “ VWAP Threshold ”) at any time on or before the maturity date of the MLP Loan or the date that is 365 days after an event of default (as described below), then, the Company would forgive an amount equal to 50% of each MLP Loan, provided that, in the event the applicable MLP Manager’s employment was terminated for cause or such MLP Manager resigned from his/her employment other than for a good reason on a date prior to the date the Company satisfied the VWAP Threshold, the applicable MLP Manager would not be eligible for such loan forgiveness. Upon the occurrence of certain prescribed events of default, the repayment of the MLP Loans would be accelerated and become repayable by the MLP Manager on the earlier of the maturity date or the date that is 365 days following such event of default. To the extent any of the Specified MLP Shares are transferred by an MLP Manager to a permitted transferee of such MLP Manager, such transferee would be required provide a limited recourse guarantee to the Company to secure repayment of the applicable MLP Loan.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Statement of Corporate Governance Practices

The Company’s corporate governance disclosure obligations are set out in the Canadian Securities Administrators’ NI 52-110 – Audit Committees (“ NI 52-110 ”), NI 58-101 – Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices (“ NI 58-101 ") and NP 58-201 – Effective Corporate Governance . These instruments and policies set out a series of guidelines and requirements for effective corporate governance (collectively, the “ Guidelines ”). The Guidelines address matters such as the constitution and independence of corporate boards, the functions to be performed by boards and their committees and the effectiveness and education of board members. NI 58-101 requires the disclosure by each listed Company of its approach to corporate governance with reference to the Guidelines.

The Company recognizes that good corporate governance plays an important role in the Company’s success and in enhancing Shareholder value and, accordingly, the Company has adopted certain corporate governance policies and practices. Set out below is a description of the Company’s approach to corporate governance.

41

Board Composition

Under the Articles, the Board consists of a minimum of three and a maximum of fifteen directors as determined from time to time by the Board. Under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), a director may be removed with or without cause by a resolution passed by a majority of the votes cast by Shareholders present in person or by proxy at a meeting and who are entitled to vote. The directors are appointed at the annual general meeting of Shareholders and the term of office for each of the directors will expire at the time of the Company’s next annual general Shareholders meeting.

The Board currently consists of eight Directors: Graham Rosenberg, Andrew Taub, Rajan Shah, Jeffrey Rosenthal, Kevin Mosher, Sandra Bosela, Robert Wolf and Stacey Mowbray.

Board Mandate

The Board has adopted and operates under a written mandate set out at Appendix A hereto (the “ Mandate of the Board of Directors ”), pursuant to which it provides governance and stewardship to the Company and its business. The Mandate of the Board of Directors also describes the Board’s responsibility for, among other things, (i) participating in the development of and adopting a strategic plan for the Company; (ii) supervising the activities and managing the affairs of the Company; (iii) defining the roles and responsibilities of management and delegating management authority to the Chief Executive Officer; (iv) reviewing and approving the business and investment objectives to be met by management; (v) assessing the performance of and overseeing management; (vi) identifying and managing risk exposure; (vii) ensuring the integrity and adequacy of the Company’s internal controls and management information systems; (viii) succession planning; (ix) establishing committees of the Board, where required or prudent, and defining their mandate; (x) ensuring effective and adequate communication with shareholders, other stakeholders and the public; (xi) determining the amount and timing of dividends, if any, to shareholders; and (xii) monitoring the social responsibility, integrity and ethics of the Company. The Mandate of the Board of Directors also provides that a majority of the Board shall be independent within the meaning of NI 58-101. The Board has unanimously determined to waive this provision of the Mandate of the Board of Directors for Fiscal 2024. See “ – Director Independence ”.

Position Descriptions

The Board has adopted a written position description for the Chairman of the Board, which sets out the Chairman’s key responsibilities, including providing leadership, leading the activities and meetings of the Board, chairing Board and shareholder meetings, supporting orientation of new and continued education of directors and representing the Company to shareholders and external stakeholders.

The Board has also adopted a written position description for the Lead Director. As long as the Chairman of the Board is not an independent director, there will be a Lead Director. The Lead Director’s key responsibilities are to provide leadership to ensure the Board works in an independent, cohesive fashion and to chair meetings of independent directors without management present.

The Board has also adopted a position description for the Chief Executive Officer which sets out the key responsibilities of the Chief Executive Officer in leading the business and affairs and supervising the day-to-day management of the Company.

Nomination and Election of Directors

The Investor Rights Agreement provides that certain of the Specified Shareholders are currently entitled to select five of the director nominees for election out of a total of eight. Accordingly, the GN&C Committee is responsible for identifying three candidates for election to the Board. The number of director nominees which the Specified Shareholders are entitled to select for nomination may change based upon their respective shareholdings in the Company pursuant to the terms of the Investor Rights Agreement. For further information regarding the director nomination procedures under the Investor Rights Agreement and the Company’s Advance Notice Provisions see “ Voting Shares and Principal Shareholders Thereof – Investor Rights Agreement ” and “ Matters to be Acted Upon at Meeting – Election of Directors – Advance Notice Provisions ”.

The Board currently does not have any policies imposing a term or retirement age limit in connection with individuals nominated for election as directors.

42

Disclosure Policy

The Board has adopted a disclosure policy (the “ Disclosure Policy ”) to manage the timely, accurate and appropriate dissemination of all material information regarding the Company. The Disclosure Policy establishes consistent guidance for determining what information is material and how it is to be disclosed to avoid selective disclosure and to ensure wide dissemination in accordance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements. The Board, directly and through its committees, reviews and approves the contents of major disclosure documents, including annual and interim condensed consolidated financial statements, prospectuses, the annual information form, management’s discussion and analysis and the management information circular. The Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing disclosure relating to the Company’s financial reporting.

Insider Trading Policy

The Board has adopted an insider trading policy (the “ Insider Trading Policy ”). All of the Company’s officers, including the NEOs, directors, and employees are subject to the Insider Trading Policy, which prohibits trading in the Company’s securities while in possession of material undisclosed information about the Company. Under the Insider Trading Policy, such individuals are prohibited from entering into certain types of hedging transactions involving the securities of the Company without the approval of the Board, such as short sales, “puts” and “calls”. In addition to the imposition of black-out periods, in order to avoid any trade in securities of the Company that may contravene or be perceived to contravene applicable securities laws outside of such black-out periods, the directors, officers and certain employees of the Company are required to provide notice of and obtain written pre-clearance for any proposed trade of securities of the Company before effecting the trade.

Diversity

The Company is committed to fostering an open and inclusive workplace culture. The Company believes that diversity is important to ensure that members of the Board and senior management provide the necessary range of perspectives, experience and expertise required to achieve the Company’s objectives and deliver for its stakeholders. To demonstrate the Company’s commitment to diversity, the Board has adopted a written diversity policy. The Company defines diversity as any dimension that can be used to differentiate groups and people from one another and includes gender identity and sexual orientation, age, persons with disabilities, race, nationality, culture, language and other ethnic distinctions, education, regional and industry experience, and expertise.

The Company also (i) implemented policies which address impediments to gender diversity in the workplace and reviews their availability and utilization, (ii) proactively identifies high-potential women for leadership training programs and encourages them to apply for more senior roles, (iii) develops flexible scheduling programs and other family friendly policies for mid-career women to assist with recruitment and retention, (iv) regularly reviews the proportion of persons at all levels of the Company who are women, (v) monitors the effectiveness of, and continues to expand on, existing initiatives designed to identify, support and develop talented women with senior management potential, and (vi) continues to identify new ways to entrench diversity as a cultural priority across the Company.

On an annual basis, the GN&C Committee assesses the effectiveness of the Board and executive management team appointment process at achieving the Company’s diversity objectives and consider and, if determined advisable, recommend to the Board for adoption, measurable objectives for achieving diversity amongst directors and executive management roles.

While the Company currently does not intend to establish targets for the representation of women on the Board or in executive officer positions, the selection process for Board appointees, nominees for election by the Company and in executive management roles involves ensuring that appropriate efforts are made to include women in the list of candidates being considered for Board and executive management positions. The Company believes that the most effective way to achieve its goal of increasing the representation of women in leadership roles at all levels of the organization is to identify high-potential women within the Company and work with them to ensure they develop the skills, acquire the experience and have the opportunities necessary to become effective leaders.

43

Two of the eight members of the Board are women, representing approximately 25% of the Board, and one of the five executive officers is a woman, representing 20% of the Company’s executive officers.

Majority Voting Policy

The Board has adopted a “Majority Voting Policy” to the effect that a nominee for election as a director who does not receive a greater number of votes “for” than votes “withheld” with respect to the election of directors by shareholders will be expected to offer to tender his or her resignation to the Chairman of the Board promptly following the meeting of shareholders at which the director was elected. The GN&C Committee will consider such offer and make a recommendation to the Board whether to accept it or not. The Board will promptly accept the resignation unless it determines, in consultation with the GN&C Committee, that there are exceptional circumstances that should delay the acceptance of the resignation or justify rejecting it. The Board will make its decision and announce it in a press release within 90 days following the meeting of shareholders. A director who tenders a resignation pursuant to the Majority Voting Policy will not participate in any meeting of the Board or the GN&C Committee at which the resignation is considered.

Director Term Limits/Mandatory Retirement

The Board has not adopted director term limits or other automatic mechanisms of Board renewal. Rather than adopting formal term limits, mandatory age-related retirement policies and other mechanisms of board renewal, the GN&C Committee, subject to the Investor Rights Agreement, seeks to maintain the composition of the Board in a way that provides, in the judgment of the Board, the best mix of skills and experience to provide for the Company’s overall stewardship. The GN&C Committee also conducts an annual process for the assessment of the Board, each Board committee and each director regarding his, her or its effectiveness and performance, and reports evaluation results to the Board. See also “ Corporate Governance – Committees of the Board ”.

Director Independence

Under NI 58-101, a director is considered to be independent if he or she is independent within the meaning of NI 52-110. Pursuant to NI 52-110, an “independent director” is a director who is free from any direct or indirect relationship which could, in the view of the Board, be reasonably expected to interfere with such member’s independent judgment. In determining whether a particular director is an “independent director” or a “non-independent director”, the Board considers the factual circumstances of each director in the context of the Guidelines.

Based on information provided by each director concerning his or her background, employment and affiliations, the Board has determined that of the eight current directors on the Board, Mr. Rosenberg is not considered independent because he is the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and Mr. Taub, Mr. Shah and Mr. Mosher are not considered independent as a result of their relationships with L Catterton Investor. As a result, a majority of the Board is not independent within the meaning of NI 58-101. The Board has unanimously determined to waive the provision of the Mandate of the Board of Directors providing that a majority of the Board shall be independent within the meaning of NI 58-101 for Fiscal 2024 as the Board and the GN&C Committee consider the appropriate membership and operations of the Board, including with respect to independence.

As Graham Rosenberg, a non-independent director, is the Chairman of the Board, Jeffrey Rosenthal, an independent director, acts as Lead Director (see “ – Position Descriptions ”). The independent directors hold in camera sessions at each meeting of the Board and its committees, at which management and non-independent directors are not present, and have the opportunity, at their discretion, to hold ad hoc meetings that are not attended by management and non-independent directors. The Audit Committee is comprised entirely of independent directors and the GN&C Committee is comprised of a majority of independent directors.
