NOTICE OF ANNUAL AND SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT the Annual and Special Meeting ("Meeting") of holders ("Shareholders") of common shares ("Common Shares") of Dexterra Group Inc. ("Dexterra") will be held on Wednesday, May 10, 2023 at 11:00 a.m. EST for the following purposes:

    1. to receive the consolidated audited financial statements of Dexterra for the financial year ended December 31, 2022 and the Auditor's report thereon;
    1. to elect directors;
    1. to appoint an auditor;
    1. to consider and, if deemed appropriate, to pass an ordinary resolution to re-approve Dexterra's stock option plan, as amended, as more particularly described in Schedule B hereto; and
    1. to transact such other business as may be properly brought before the Meeting.

The Meeting will be held in a virtual only format, which will be conducted via live audio webcast at https://web.lumiagm.com/260045440. During the live audio webcast, Shareholders will be able to hear the Meeting live, and registered Shareholders and duly appointed and registered proxyholders will be able to submit questions and vote while the Meeting is being held. Dexterra hopes that hosting a virtual Meeting will enable greater participation by its Shareholders by allowing Shareholders that might not otherwise be able to travel to a physical meeting to attend online, while minimizing the health risk that may be associated with large gatherings. Details on how to access the Meeting and proxy-related materials can be found in the Management Information Circular, accompanying this Notice of Meeting. Dexterra will be using the Notice-and-Access mechanism permitted by the Canadian Securities Administrators that reduces the volume of materials that must be physically mailed to shareholders by allowing a reporting issuer to post an information circular in respect of a meeting of its shareholders and related materials, online, which reduces the environmental impact and mailing costs of the Meeting.

Only Shareholders of record at the close of business on March 21, 2023 are entitled to notice of and to attend the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof and to vote thereat. A Shareholder may attend the Meeting or may be represented by proxy at the live audio webcast. Shareholders who are unable to attend the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof are requested to complete and return the accompanying instrument of proxy for use at the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof and return it in the envelope provided, or vote online at www.meeting-vote.com, by telephone at 1-888- 489-5760 or fax by at 416-595-9593.

BY ORDER OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS,

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR AND PROXY STATEMENT

FOR THE ANNUAL AND SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

TO BE HELD ON MAY 10, 2023

GENERAL

In this Management Information Circular and Proxy Statement ("Information Circular"), unless otherwise noted, all dollar amounts are expressed in Canadian dollars. Information contained in this Information Circular is given as of March 21, 2023, unless otherwise stated.

SOLICITATION OF PROXIES

This Information Circular is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the management of Dexterra Group Inc. ("Dexterra") for use at the Annual and Special Meeting (the "Meeting") of holders ("Shareholders") of common shares ("Common Shares") of Dexterra to be held on Wednesday, May 10, 2023, at 11:00 a.m. EST via live audio webcast athttps://web.lumiagm.com/260045440 and at any adjournment(s) or postponement(s) thereof, for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Meeting.

Accompanying this Information Circular (and filed with applicable securities regulatory authorities) is the form of proxy (the "Instrument of Proxy") for use at the Meeting, by registered holders of Common Shares ("Registered Shareholders").

Proxies will be solicited by mail and may also be solicited personally or by telephone or facsimile by the directors or officers of Dexterra, who will not be specifically remunerated therefore. The cost of solicitation by management of Dexterra will be borne by Dexterra. Dexterra may pay the reasonable costs incurred by persons who are the registered but not beneficial owners of voting securities of Dexterra (such as brokers, dealers, other registrants under applicable securities laws, nominees and/or custodians) in sending or delivering copies of this Information Circular, the Notice of Meeting and voting instruction form to the beneficial owners of such securities. Dexterra will provide, without cost to such persons, upon request to Dexterra, additional copies of the foregoing documents required for this purpose.

NOTICE-AND-ACCESS

Dexterra has elected to use the "notice-and-access" provisions under National Instrument 54-101 Communications with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer (the "Notice-and-Access Provisions") for the Meeting in respect of mailings to its shareholders who do not hold their Common Shares in their own name but rather hold their Common Shares indirectly through accounts with such institutions as brokerage firms, banks and trust companies (referred to in this Information Circular as "Beneficial Shareholders"). Dexterra will also be using the Notice-and-Access Provisions in respect of mailings to its Registered Shareholders. The Notice-and-Access Provisions are a set of rules developed by the Canadian Securities Administrators that reduce the volume of materials that must be physically mailed to shareholders by allowing a reporting issuer to post an information circular in respect of a meeting of its shareholders and related materials, online.

Dexterra will be delivering proxy-related materials directly to non-objecting Beneficial Shareholders and indirectly through intermediaries to objecting Beneficial Shareholders, and Dexterra intends to pay intermediaries for the delivery of such material.

The Information Circular together with related materials have been posted and are available for review on Dexterra's profile on SEDAR at sedar.com. The Information Circular and related proxy materials are also available at www.meetingdocuments.com/TSXT/dxt.

HOW TO OBTAIN PAPER COPIES OF MEETING MATERIALS:

Shareholders may request that paper copies of the Meeting materials be sent to them by contacting TSX Trust Company at 1-888-433-6443 or tsxt[email protected].

In order to allow Shareholders a reasonable time to receive paper copies of the Information Circular and related materials by mail and to vote their Common Shares, it is recommended that requests for Meeting materials be received on or before April 24, 2023. However, requests for Meeting materials may be made up to one year from the date the Information Circular was filed.

A Shareholder may also obtain additional information about the Notice-and-Access provisions by calling TSX Trust Company toll-free at 1-888-433-6443.

Registered Shareholders and duly appointed proxyholders (including Beneficial Shareholders who have duly appointed themselves as proxyholders) will be able to attend, submit questions and vote at the Meeting online at https://web.lumiagm.com/260045440.

Such questions will be read by the Chair of the meeting or a designee of the Chair and responded to by a representative of Dexterra as they would be at in-person shareholders meetings. Questions submitted via the Lumi online platform will be moderated before being sent to the Chair of the Meeting. This is to avoid repetition and to ensure an orderly Meeting. The Chair of the meeting will decide on the amount of time allocated to each question and will have the right to limit or consolidate questions and to reject questions that do not relate to the business of the Meeting or which are determined to be inappropriate or otherwise out of order. Questions can be submitted at any time as prompted by the Chair during the Meeting until the Chair closes the session.

Guests, including Beneficial Shareholders who have not duly appointed themselves as a proxyholder, can log in to the Meeting by clicking "I am a guest" and completing the online form. Guests will be able to listen to the Meeting, but will not be able to ask questions or vote. See "Instructions on Voting at the Meeting" for additional information on voting at the Meeting and "Instructions on Voting at the Meeting – Appointing a Proxy" for additional information on appointing yourself or a third party as a proxyholder and registering with TSX Trust Company.

INSTRUCTIONS ON VOTING AT THE MEETING

How to vote depends on whether you are a Registered Shareholder or Beneficial Shareholder. You are a Registered Shareholder if the Common Shares you own are registered directly in your name. You are a Beneficial Shareholder if the Common Shares you own are registered for you in the name of an intermediary such as a bank, trust company, securities broker or other nominee (each, an "Intermediary").

Registered Shareholders

Registered Shareholders may vote their Common Shares in the following ways: (1) in advance of the Meeting by submitting the Instrument of Proxy provided herewith by mail, internet, telephone or fax, as outlined below under "Voting in Advance of the Meeting" or (2) during the Meeting by voting online through the live audio webcast platform.

Registered Shareholders who wish to be represented at the Meeting by proxy must complete and deliver the Instrument of Proxy or other proper form of proxy to TSX Trust Company in the manner set out in the Instrument of Proxy. Shareholders are entitled to vote on all matters as described in the Instrument of Proxy. R. William McFarland and Mark Becker (the management designees named in the accompanying Instrument of Proxy) are officers and/or directors of Dexterra. A Shareholder has the right to appoint a person (who need not be a Shareholder), other than R. William McFarland and Mark Becker, to represent such Shareholder at the Meeting. To exercise this right, a Shareholder should insert the name of the person being appointed as proxyholder in the blank space provided on the Instrument of Proxy. Such Shareholder should notify the nominee of the appointment, obtain the nominee's consent to act as proxy and should provide instructions on how the Shareholder's Common Shares are to be voted. An Instrument of Proxy will not be valid unless it is deposited at the offices of TSX Trust Company, Proxy Department, P.O. Box 721, Agincourt, Ontario M1S 0A1, by 11:00 a.m. EST on Monday, May 8, 2023 or, if the Meeting is adjourned or postponed, not less than 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and statutory holidays) before the time and date of the adjourned or postponed Meeting or with the Chair of the Meeting prior to commencement thereof. Registered Shareholders may also submit their Instrument of Proxy by internet, telephone or fax, as described below under "Voting in Advance of the Meeting". Registered Shareholders who wish to appoint a proxy different than the management designees MUST submit an Instrument of Proxy appointing a proxyholder AND register that proxyholder by contacting TSX Trust Company by going to TSX Trust Company's website athttps://www.tsxtrust.com/control-number-request to complete and submit the electronic form or by calling 1-866-751-6315 (in North America) or 1-647-252-9650 (outside North America) by 11:00 a.m. EST on Monday, May 8, 2023 or, if the Meeting is adjourned or postponed, not less than 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and statutory holidays) before the time and date of the adjourned or postponed Meeting. Registering your proxyholder is an additional step to be completed AFTER you have submitted your Instrument of Proxy. Failure to register the proxyholder will result in the proxyholder not receiving a control number that will act as their online sign-in credentials and that is required for them to vote at the Meeting. Registered Shareholders are encouraged to submit their Instrument of Proxy as soon as practicable. See "Instructions on Voting at the Meeting – Appointing a Proxy" below.

Registered Shareholders who want to attend the Meeting virtually and vote online during the Meeting should not complete the Instrument of Proxy and should instead follow the instructions below:

Step 1: Log in online at https://web.lumiagm.com/260045440 at least 15 minutes before the Meeting starts.

Step 2: Click "I have a control number" and then enter your control number and password "dexterra2023" (case sensitive) and complete an online ballot during the Meeting. The control number is located on the Instrument of Proxy or in the email notification you received from TSX Trust Company.

If you use your control number to log in to the Meeting and you have previously completed and submitted a proxy, there is no need to vote again as your vote has already been recorded. Any vote you cast at the Meeting will revoke any proxy you previously submitted.

Beneficial Shareholders

Beneficial Shareholders are Shareholders whose Common Shares are not held in their own name but in the name of a "nominee" such as a bank, trust company, securities dealer or broker, or other intermediary. As such, the Intermediary will be the entity legally entitled to vote the Common Shares held by such Beneficial Shareholders and must seek such Beneficial Shareholders' instructions as to how to vote such Beneficial Shareholders' Common Shares.

A Beneficial Shareholder may vote their Common Shares in two ways: (1) in advance of the Meeting by submitting the voting instruction form to the Intermediary, or (2) during the Meeting by voting online through the live audio webcast platform, BUT only if such Beneficial Shareholder has duly appointed themselves as proxyholder AND has registered as proxyholder with TSX Trust Company in order to receive a control number, as described further below.

Beneficial Shareholders, except those that have previously informed their Intermediary that they do not wish to receive material relating to shareholders' meetings will have received the voting instruction form. The voting instruction form contains instructions on how to complete the form, where to return it to and the deadline for returning it, which may be earlier than the deadline for Registered Shareholders. It is important that you read and follow the instructions on the voting instruction form in order to have your vote count. If you are unsure about anything in such voting instructions, contact your bank, trust company, securities dealer or broker, or other intermediary through which you hold your Common Shares.

Beneficial Shareholders who wish to vote at the Meeting through the live audio webcast platform, must insert their own name in the space provided on the voting instruction form received from the Intermediary. In so doing, such Beneficial Shareholder will be instructing its Intermediary to appoint such Beneficial Shareholder as proxyholder. Beneficial Shareholders must adhere strictly to the signature and return instructions provided by the Intermediary. It is not necessary to complete the form in any other respect since such Beneficial Shareholder will be voting at the Meeting by voting online through the live audio webcast platform. Beneficial Shareholders who wish to vote at the Meeting must register as proxyholder by contacting TSX Trust Company by going to TSX Trust Company's website at https://www.tsxtrust.com/control-number-request to complete and submit the electronic form or by calling 1-866-751- 6315 (in North America) or 1-647-252-9650 (outside North America). TSX Trust Company will then provide the Beneficial Shareholder with a control number by email after the proxy voting deadline has passed. The control number is the Beneficial Shareholder's username for the purposes of logging into the Meeting.

Beneficial Shareholders who do not plan to attend the Meeting can either mark their voting instructions on the voting instruction form or appoint another person (a proxyholder) to attend the Meeting and vote their Common Shares for them. Beneficial Shareholders who appoint a proxyholder other than R. William McFarland and Mark Becker (the management designees on the voting instruction form) must submit their voting instruction form appointing that proxyholder AND register that proxyholder by contacting TSX Trust Company by going to TSX Trust Company's website at https://www.tsxtrust.com/control-number-request to complete and submit the electronic form or by calling 1-866-751- 6315 (in North America) or 1-647-252-9650 (outside North America). TSX Trust Company will then provide the proxyholder with a control number by email after the proxy voting deadline has passed. The control number is the proxyholder's username for the purposes of logging into the Meeting. See "Instructions on Voting at the Meeting – Appointing a Proxy" below for additional information on appointing and registering a proxyholder with TSX Trust Company.

Only Registered Shareholders, or the persons they appoint as their proxies, are permitted to attend and vote at the Meeting. If you are a Beneficial Shareholder and wish to vote at the Meeting, you must insert your own name in the space provided on the voting instruction form sent to you by your Intermediary, follow all of the applicable instructions provided by your Intermediary AND register yourself as your proxyholder by contacting TSX Trust Company by going to TSX Trust Company's website athttps://www.tsxtrust.com/control-number-request to complete and submit the electronic form or by calling at 1-866-751-6315 (in North America) or 1-647-252-9650 (outside North America), as further described below under "Instructions on Voting at the Meeting – Appointing a Proxy". By doing so, you are instructing your Intermediary to appoint you as proxyholder. It is important that you comply with the signature and return instructions provided by your Intermediary. TSX Trust Company will then provide a control number that will act as your online sign-in credentials by email after the proxy voting deadline has passed and you have been duly appointed.

Beneficial Shareholders who have duly appointed themselves as a proxyholder that attend the Meeting online will be able to vote by completing a ballot online during the Meeting through the live audio webcast platform as follows:

Step 1: Log in online https://web.lumiagm.com/260045440 at least 15 minutes before the Meeting starts.

Step 2: Click "I have a control number" and then enter your control number and password "dexterra2023" (case sensitive). Proxyholders (including Beneficial Shareholders who have appointed themselves as proxyholder) who have been duly appointed and registered with TSX Trust Company will receive a control number by email from TSX Trust Company after the proxy voting deadline has passed.

Failing to register your proxyholder with TSX Trust Company will result in the proxyholder not receiving a control number, which is required to vote at the Meeting. Beneficial Shareholders who have not duly appointed themselves as proxyholder will not be able to vote at the Meeting but will be able to participate as a guest.

Beneficial Shareholders who have provided voting instructions to their Intermediary and change their mind about how they want to vote, or who decide to attend the Meeting and vote online, must contact their Intermediary to find out what to do.

If you are a Beneficial Shareholder and you have previously appointed yourself as proxyholder, completed and submitted a proxy, there is no need to vote again as your vote has already been recorded. Any vote you cast at the Meeting as a duly appointed proxyholder will revoke any proxy you previously submitted.

Appointing a Proxy

Registering your proxyholder is an additional step to be completed AFTER you have submitted your Instrument of Proxy or voting instruction form.

MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON AT THE MEETING

1. Election of Directors

On May 29, 2020, Dexterra (formerly Horizon North Logistics Inc.) acquired all the issued and outstanding shares (the "Transaction") of 10647802 Canada Limited, operating as Dexterra Integrated Facilities Management ("DIFM"), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Fairfax Financial Holdings Limited (together with its affiliates, "Fairfax"), which resulted in Fairfax controlling 49% of Dexterra. In connection with the Transaction, Dexterra and an affiliate of Fairfax entered into an investor rights agreement (the "Investor Rights Agreement") related to, among other things, matters related to the election of the board of directors (the "Board"). Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Investor Rights Agreement, in respect of any director election meeting that Fairfax, in the aggregate, owns, controls or directs, directly or indirectly, at least 40% of the outstanding Common Shares (on a non-diluted basis) it shall be entitled to designate 50% of the persons nominated for election of Dexterra ("Fairfax Nominees") rounded up to the nearest whole number and that Dexterra shall recommend Shareholders vote to elect such nominees. Additionally, the Investor Rights Agreement provides that for as long as Fairfax, in the aggregate, owns, controls or directs, directly or indirectly, at least 10% of the outstanding Common Shares (on a non-diluted basis) the Board will at all times consist of eight directors or such other number as Dexterra and Fairfax may agree. Dexterra and Fairfax agreed that the Board would consist of nine (9) directors.

The following persons are proposed to be nominated for election as directors of Dexterra at the Meeting:

Mary Garden David Johnston Simon Landy Mark Becker R. William McFarland Kevin D. Nabholz Russell Newmark Tabatha Bull Antonia Rossi

The proposed directors include five (5) Fairfax Nominees, being R. William McFarland, David Johnston, Simon Landy, Mary Garden and Mark Becker. The Board has concluded that each nominee is well qualified to serve on the Board. The nominees have the relevant expertise essential to ensure appropriate strategic direction and oversight. Each director nominee has confirmed his or her eligibility and willingness to serve as a director if elected. All of the directors who are elected will have their terms of office expire at the next annual meeting of Shareholders, or until successors are elected or such directors resign.

Majority Voting for Directors

The Board has adopted a majority voting policy for uncontested election of directors ("Majority Voting Policy"). The Board believes that each director of Dexterra should carry the confidence and support of its Shareholders. If, with respect to any director nominee, the total number of Common Shares withheld exceeds the total number of Common Shares voted in favour of the nominee, then for purposes of the Majority Voting Policy such nominee shall be considered not to have received the support of Shareholders even though duly elected as a matter of corporate law.

Any nominee who is considered under the above test not to have the support of the Shareholders shall, forthwith, submit his or her resignation to the Board to take effect immediately upon acceptance by the Board.

The Board shall decide whether or not to accept the tendered resignation and is expected to accept the resignation absent exceptional circumstances. Further, the Board shall, not later than 90 days after the Shareholders' meeting, issue a news release, a copy of which will also be provided to the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX"), which either confirms that they have accepted the resignation or provides an explanation for why they have refused to accept such resignation. The director tendering his or her resignation will not participate in any meeting of the Board or any sub-committee of the Board at which the resignation is considered.

Advance Notice Provisions

Pursuant to the Amended and Restated By-laws of Dexterra, Dexterra has adopted advance notice requirements for the nomination of directors by Shareholders.

Adoption of an advance notice provision (the "Advance Notice Provisions") relating to the nomination of directors (i.e., the requirement that advance notice be provided to the Corporate Secretary of Dexterra if a Shareholder proposes to nominate directors for election at a meeting of Shareholders). The Advance Notice Provisions are included in Dexterra's Amended and Restated Bylaws to prevent stealth proxy contests and facilitate an orderly and efficient director nomination process by ensuring that all Shareholders receive adequate notice of director nominations and sufficient information in respect of all nominees so that the proposed nominees' qualifications and suitability as directors can be evaluated and an informed vote cast for the election of directors. The Advance Notice Provisions fix deadlines for submitting director nominations to Dexterra prior to any annual or special meeting of Shareholders where directors are to be elected, and sets forth the information that a Shareholder must include in their nomination in order for it to be valid. In the case of an annual Shareholders' meeting, the deadlines for notice of a Shareholders' director nominations are not less than 30 days prior to the meeting; provided, however, if the first public notice of an annual Shareholders' meeting is given less than 50 days prior to the meeting date, Shareholders must provide notice of their nominations by close of business on the 10th day following the announcement of the meeting. In the case of a special meeting (which is not also an annual meeting) called for the purpose of electing directors, Shareholders must provide notice of their nominations by close of business on the 15th day following first public announcement of the special Shareholders' meeting. In the event of an adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting or special meeting of shareholders or any announcement thereof, a new time period shall commence for the giving of timely notice.

This year, notices of nomination from Shareholders will be deemed timely if received on or prior to April 10, 2023.

The following table sets forth for each proposed director: their name, age, municipality, province and country of residence; their committee memberships; all positions and offices with Dexterra now held by them, the month and year in which they were first elected or appointed as a director; other public company board memberships; their principal occupation for at least the last 5 years along with a brief biography; and the number and percentage of Common Shares that they have advised are beneficially owned, controlled or directed by them, directly or indirectly, as of March 14, 2023:

It is the intention of the persons named in the Instrument of Proxy, if not expressly directed otherwise in such Instrument of Proxy, to vote such proxies FOR the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, Chartered Professional Accountants, as auditor of Dexterra.

3. Re-approval of the Dexterra Option plan

Background of the Option Plan and the Proposed Amendment

The Dexterra Stock Option Plan (the "Option Plan") was last approved by Shareholders at its annual meeting on May 26, 2020. The policies of the TSX require that every three years the Option Plan be re-approved at a meeting of the Shareholders. Therefore, the holders of Common Shares will be asked to re-approve the Option Plan at the Meeting. The text of the resolution re-approving the Option Plan including the amendments to the Option Plan referred to in this Information Circular is set out below. In order to be passed, this resolution must be approved by at least a majority of the votes cast by Shareholders represented virtually or by proxy at the Meeting.

The Option Plan permits the granting of Options to the directors, officers, employees and other eligible service providers of Dexterra and its subsidiaries for the purpose of providing an incentive to achieve the longer-term objectives of Dexterra; to give suitable recognition to the ability and industry of such persons who contribute materially to the success of Dexterra; and to attract and retain in the employ of Dexterra or any of its subsidiaries, persons of experience and ability by providing them with the opportunity to acquire an increased proprietary interest in Dexterra.

The Board views Options as an effective incentive to balance senior management's focus between short-term operating performance and profitable, long-term growth, which should translate into share price appreciation for the benefit of Shareholders. With Option grants vesting over time, they also serve as an effective employee retention tool. Despite the dilutive aspect of Options, they do directly align the interests of management and Shareholders as the benefits derived from Options parallel the benefits realized by Shareholders through share price appreciation. Options provide the potential for long-term rewards and above-average total compensation, provided Dexterra's financial and operating results lead to the enhancement of shareholder value.

Awards of Options are made from time to time to participants at varying levels consistent with the individual's position and responsibility. The process that Dexterra uses to grant Options to executive officers, including the NEOs, and the factors that are taken into account when considering new grants under the Option Plan, is based upon a number of criteria, including the performance of the executive officers, the number of Options available for grant under the Option Plan, the number of Options anticipated to be required to meet the future needs of Dexterra, as well as the number of Options previously granted to each of the NEOs. It is the full Board, as opposed to the Committee, which determines the need for any amendments to the Option Plan and it is the full Board which determines the number of Option grants to be made under the Option Plan. The CEO will provide input and recommendations to the Board regarding the granting of Options, from time to time. The term and other provisions of the Options are subject to the terms of the Option Plan.

Since the inception of the Option Plan there has been no financial assistance provided by Dexterra to any participant under the Option Plan to facilitate the purchase of Common Shares under the Option Plan.

On March 8, 2023, the Board, on recommendation of the Corporate Governance and Compensation Committee, approved an amendment to the Stock Option Plan, which is subject to shareholder approval at the Meeting. The change increases the maximum number of Common Shares that may be issuable to non-management directors under the Option Plan pursuant to Option grants from 0.5% to 1.0% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Corporation. While there has been no change in the compensation scheme to directors or an increase in value of Options granted to the directors on annual basis, there was some risk that the previous threshold would have been exceeded. Other than change referenced above, the Option Plan remains the same in all other respects.

Common Shares Available for Issuance upon Exercise of Options

The Option Plan provides that the maximum number of Common Shares issuable pursuant to Options granted shall not exceed 10% of the aggregate number of issued and outstanding Common Shares. The Option Plan also provides that the aggregate number of Common Shares issued to insiders within any one-year period and issuable to insiders at any time pursuant to Options granted under the Option Plan and under any other security-based compensation arrangement, shall not, in either case, exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares. No Options shall be granted to any director of Dexterra who is not also an officer of Dexterra if such grant could result, at any time, in the total number of Common Shares issuable to all directors of Dexterra who are not also officers of Dexterra pursuant to Options exceeding 0.5% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares of Dexterra. Should the proposed amendment to the Option Plan be approved by the shareholders at the Meeting, the total number of Common Shares issuable to directors of Dexterra will increase to 1% of the issued and outstanding shares of Dexterra. In addition, the Option Plan contains (i) a limit on the number of Common Shares issuable pursuant to Options to any non-employee director, within any calendar year of \$100,000; and (ii) a limit on the number of Common Shares reserved for issuance under all security-based compensation arrangements of Dexterra issued to any non-employee director, within any calendar year, of \$150,000; in each case calculated on the date of grant. There are additional limits imposed on the transferability of Options granted under the Option Plan such that Options will not be transferable or assignable and may not be made subject to execution, attachment or similar process, other than for normal estate settlement purposes or by operation of law and such that during the lifetime of an optionee, an Option will be exercisable only by the optionee and any elections with respect to an Option may be made only by the optionee.

As of March 14, 2023 (i) Dexterra has issued and outstanding under the Option Plan, Options pursuant to which 2,404,570 Common Shares are issuable which represents 3.7% of the currently outstanding Common Shares; and (ii) there remains for issuance under the Option Plan, Options pursuant to which 4,119,592 Common Shares, which represents 6.3% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, may be issued which represent, together with the outstanding Options, 10% of the currently outstanding Common Shares.

The Option Plan burn rate is expressed as a percentage and is calculated in accordance with Section 613(p) of the TSX Company Manual, by dividing: (i) the number of securities granted under the Option Plan during the applicable fiscal year; by (ii) the weighted average number of securities outstanding for the applicable fiscal year. The Option Plan is not subject to a multiplier that may increase the number of shares to be issued on settlement based on performance or any other measure.

Burn Rate 2022 2021 2020
% calculated 0.96% 0.81% 2.04%

Summary of Option Plan

The Option Plan provides for the exercise price to be determined by the Board provided that the exercise price of the Options may not be less than the closing price of the Common Shares on the TSX on the last business day preceding the date of grant. Options granted under the Option Plan will be for a term of no longer than ten years after granting of an Option. The currently outstanding Options have been granted so as to vest in equal one-third amounts over the first three years of the five-year term thereof. Optionee shall be entitled to exercise an Option granted to Optionee at any time prior to the expiry of the Option Period, subject to vesting limitations which may be imposed by the Board of Directors at the time such Option is granted. Participation in the Option Plan is voluntary. In order to constitute a valid Option under the Option Plan, the participant and Dexterra must enter into a valid Option agreement in a form acceptable to the Board. With respect to the termination of options, unless specifically amended or otherwise dealt with in a share option agreement: (a) in the case of death of an optionee, the right to exercise an Option shall extend to the earlier of (i) one year after the date of death or (ii) the expiry date of the Option set forth in the share option agreement, to the extent such Option was exercisable by the optionee on the date of death of the optionee; and (b) in the case of termination or cessation of employment of an optionee (who is not a consultant) for any reason (other than death) or, in the case of a consultant, upon cessation of the services agreement the right to exercise an Option shall be limited to and shall expire on the earlier of 60 days after the date of termination or cessation (in the case of an optionee who is not a consultant) and from the final service date (in the case of an optionee who is a consultant), or the expiry date of the Option set forth in the share option agreement, to the extent such Option was exercisable by optionee on the date of termination of such employment or final service date, as the case may be. In the event of any change in the Common Shares through subdivision, consolidation, reclassification, amalgamation, and merger or otherwise or in the event of any other change in the Common Shares, the Board may proportionately adjust the number of Common Shares that may be issued under existing Option agreements.

The Option Plan also provides for the extension of the expiry date of any Option which would otherwise expire during a "black-out period" until the fifth business day following the expiry of the blackout period, provided that such extended expiration date shall not in any event be beyond the later of (i) December 31 of the calendar year in which the option was otherwise due to expire; and (ii) the 15th day of the third month following the month in which the Option was otherwise due to expire. The Option Plan also provides that the Board may, in its sole discretion and without further approval of the Shareholders, amend, suspend, terminate or discontinue the Option Plan and may amend the terms and conditions of Options granted under the Option Plan, subject to any required approval of any regulatory authority or the TSX. Subject to any required regulatory approval of any regulatory authority or stock exchange, the Board may at any time alter, amend or vary the Option Plan without the approval of the Shareholders if the alteration, amendment or variance does not: (a) increase the number of shares that can be issued under the Option Plan; (b) reduce the exercise price of an outstanding option except for the normal anti-dilution provisions whereby option values are maintained in connection with a subdivision, consolidation, conversion, reclassification, re-division or re-designation of Common Shares or a reorganization, amalgamation, consolidation, merger, takeover bid or similar transaction involving Dexterra; (c) extend the expiry date of an outstanding Option or amend the Option Plan to permit the grant of an Option with an expiry date of more than 10 years from the grant date (except where an expiry date would have fallen within a blackout period of Dexterra); (d) allow for the transfer of Options, except if the transfer is to an entity controlled by the Option holder, a charity or for estate planning or estate settlement purposes; (e) expand the categories of individuals eligible to participate in the Option Plan; or (f) amend the Option Plan to provide for other types of compensation through equity issuance.

In addition, the Option Plan contains a "clawback" provision which permits the Board to seek reimbursement of Options awarded to an officer of Dexterra pursuant to the Option Plan and any Common Shares issued upon exercise thereon, where: (i) the payment of such compensation was predicated on achieving certain financial results that were subsequently the subject of a substantial restatement of Dexterra's financial statements filed with any securities regulatory authority; and (ii) the Board, in its discretion, determines that the officer engaged in gross negligence, intentional misconduct or fraud that caused or partially caused the need for the restatement.

The Option Plan requires approval from Shareholders for amendments to the Option Plan which result in: (i) any increase in the number of Common Shares issuable under the Option Plan or the number of unissued Common Shares that may be subject to Options granted to optionees under the Option Plan; (ii) any amendments which reduce the exercise price of an Option or any cancellation and reissuance of an Option; (iii) any amendment that extends the term of an Option beyond its original Option Period; (iv) any amendments to eligible participants that may permit the introduction or reintroduction of non-employee directors on a discretionary basis or amendments that increase limits previously imposed on non-employee director participation; (v) any amendment which would permit Options granted under the Option Plan to be transferable or assignable other than for normal estate settlement purposes; (vi) any amendments to the amendment and termination provisions of the Option Plan; and (vii) amendments required to be approved by Shareholders under applicable law (including, without limitation, the rules, regulations and policies required by any relevant stock exchange).

A copy of the Proposed Option Plan is attached as Schedule "B" to this Information Circular.

Recommendation of Management and the Board

Management has recommended and the Board has determined that re-approving the Option Plan including the one amendment noted above for an additional three years is in the best interests of Dexterra and its Shareholders.

"BE IT RESOLVED as an ordinary resolution that:

    1. The Option Plan, in the form attached as Schedule "B" to this Information Circular, which includes an amendment to increase the maximum number of Common Shares that may be issuable to non-management directors under the Option Plan, as further described in this Information Circular, is hereby approved and adopted as the stock option plan of Dexterra, and Dexterra has the ability to continue granting options under the Option Plan until May 10, 2026, being the date that is three (3) years from the date of the shareholder meeting at which this resolution is passed;
    1. All unallocated options to be granted under the Option Plan are hereby approved;
    1. Upon the valid exercise of any options granted under the Option Plan, including the payment of the applicable exercise price, the underlying Common Shares shall be issued from treasury as fully paid and non-assessable Common Shares; and
    1. Any officer of Dexterra is authorized and directed, for and on behalf of Dexterra, to do, or cause to be done, all such acts and things and execute, whether under the corporate seal or otherwise, and deliver, or cause to be delivered, such other documents, agreements, certificates and statements, as any such officer may deem necessary or desirable in order to carry out the foregoing resolutions, the authority for the execution of such documents, agreements, certificates and statements and the doing of such other acts or things to be conclusively evidenced thereby."

It is the intention of the persons named in the Instrument of Proxy, if not expressly directed otherwise in such Instrument of Proxy, to vote such proxies FOR the Re-approval of the Option Plan.

4. Other Business

Management is not aware of any other matters to come before the Meeting other than those set out in the Notice of Meeting. If other matters come before the Meeting, it is the intention of the individuals named in the form of Instrument of Proxy to vote the same in accordance with their best judgment in such matters.

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS

Director compensation is intended to provide an appropriate level of remuneration considering the experience, responsibilities, time requirements and accountability of their roles.

The annual retainers for each director of Dexterra who was not an employee of Dexterra were set at \$75,000 per year, with the independent Chair of the Board to receive an annual retainer of \$150,000, to be inclusive of meeting fees, whether in attendance in person or by phone/video conference. The Chair of the Audit Committee received an additional annual retainer of \$18,000 and the Chair of each of the Enterprise Risk Management Committee and the Corporate Governance and Compensation Committee received an additional annual retainer of \$12,000. A travel allowance of \$1,000 per day, with a two-day maximum, to attend board or committee meetings in person was available if required. Miscellaneous out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the directors in carrying out their duties are reimbursed by Dexterra.

Director Compensation Table

The following table sets forth particulars concerning all amounts of compensation provided to individual directors for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Notes:

(1) Includes retainers, which are inclusive of meeting fees, and travel allowance, if requested.

(2) Value of the RSUs was determined by multiplying the number of cash settled RSUs granted in 2022 by \$8.50, which was the closing price of the Common Shares on the TSX on the grant date of January 5, 2022.

(3) The value to the recipient of any Option grant is Nil on the grant date as the exercise price of the Option is equal to or greater than the market value of the underlying Common Share. The value, if any, ultimately received by an Option holder as compensation is equal to the difference between the fair value of the underlying Common Share on the date the Option is exercised and the exercise price of the Option. This amount is also equal to the value forgone by Dexterra when it issues a Common Share on exercise of an Option at a price that is less than the prevailing market price. The fair value of the Options granted annually is obtained by multiplying the number of Options granted by their value established according to the Black Scholes model. In 2022 this value was determined using the following assumptions: dividend yield of 5%; expected average volatilities of 56.21% to 64.44%; average risk-free rates of interest of 1.01% to 1.24%; average forfeiture rate of 9.25%; and average expected life of option of three years. The fair value of option grants has been determined using the same methodology and values used in determining the option value for our financial statements as we believe it represents the best estimate of fair value of the options at the time of the grant.

Minimum Share Ownership for Non-Management Directors

The Board believes that the economic interests of non-management directors of Dexterra should be aligned with those of Shareholders. On June 1, 2020, the Board approved minimum share ownership guidelines for the non-management directors be set so that each non-management director be required to own shares in Dexterra equivalent to three times the base annual retainer paid to such director within a three-year period from the date that such director was elected or appointed. For clarity, effective June 1, 2020, the base annual retainer for non-management directors, other than the independent Chair of the Board was set at \$75,000, therefore the current non-management directors will have until June 1, 2023 to own shares in Dexterra with a value of \$225,000 of market value or cost of purchase to meet the minimum shareholding requirement. The base annual retainer for the independent Chair of the Board was set at \$150,000, therefore the current independent Chair of the Board will have until June 1, 2023 to own shares in Dexterra with a value of \$450,000 of market value or cost of purchase to meet the minimum shareholding requirement.

Notes:

(2) The minimum share ownership requirement is met if the requisite value of the Common Shares to be owned by the non-management director is reached before or during the applicable period notwithstanding that the value of such Common Shares owned may subsequently fall below the minimum share ownership requirements due to a decrease in the market price of the Common Shares during the applicable period.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Compensation Governance

The Corporate Governance and Compensation Committee (the "Committee") is responsible for making recommendations to the Board relating to the compensation of members of the Board, the CEO and the Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") and other executive officers. The Committee regularly reviews the compensation practices of comparable companies with a view to aligning Dexterra's officers and directors with a comparable group median. Directors who are officers of Dexterra receive no additional remuneration for their services as directors.

In particular, the Committee: (i) will review and approve, at least annually, Dexterra's goals and objectives relevant to the compensation of the CEO and the CEO's compensation based on that review; (ii) will review, at least annually, and recommend to the Board compensation, incentive plans and equity based plans for non-CEO officers and directors, and for other key employees as identified by the CEO, and in particular, review the annual bonus payments recommended by the CEO for the executive officers; and (iii) will review executive compensation disclosure before Dexterra publicly discloses such information.

The objective of Dexterra's executive compensation program is to attract and retain experienced personnel who are incentivized to continually focus on generating profitable growth of Dexterra's business. The compensation program is comprised of three elements: (i) annual salary plus benefits; (ii) annual performance bonus; and (iii) long-term incentives in the form of equity-based compensation.

In order to attract and retain high level executive talent, the Committee targeted total executive compensation levels in the median range to above-mid range of industrial companies, whose operational, corporate finance and other activities are considered comparable to those of Dexterra. This is not a rigid requirement and discretion exists to consider trends or challenges in the industry and the economy. The Committee has established this range because the support services sector is complex and exceptionally competitive and also because Dexterra must have reliable, motivated and superior talent in order to deal with these challenges and to accomplish its strategic objectives.

Periodically, the Committee compares executive compensation levels with other Canadian small cap public companies in the support services industry. This testing of compensation levels is done with respect to base salary, annual bonus and long-term incentive plans. This process was undertaken in 2020 with the assistance of outside advisors – Mercer (Canada) Ltd ("Mercer"). The process involved the selection of a peer group of small cap public companies in related industries based on annual sales, assets and market capitalization as of June 30, 2020 ("Peer Group"). The Peer Group consists primarily of Canadian public companies and does also include US public companies. The majority of the Peer Group companies were within 0.5 to 2 times Dexterra's level of annual sales, assets and market capitalization.

The appropriateness and competitiveness of the Corporation's executive compensation program is monitored by comparison to a peer group of companies that include the following companies:

Bird Construction Inc. Sienna Senior Living Inc.
GDI Integrated Facility Services Inc. North American Construction Group Ltd.
Extendicare Inc. Badger Daylighting Ltd.
Civeo Corporation Medical Facilities Corporation
DIRTT Environmental Solutions Ltd.

This provided guidance to the Committee on executive compensation and allowed the Committee to evaluate market compensation information and ensure that the Committee's approach is appropriate and is generally consistent with compensation trends in the marketplace. In 2021, Mercer was paid \$2,486 and \$5,175 in 2022 for advisor fees for some update work on the aforementioned services. In addition, several members of the Committee are either directors or officers of other industrial companies and are therefore intimately familiar with compensation levels in Canada and globally.

Dexterra's executive compensation program is designed to provide financial rewards to executive officers based on measurable, financial and operational parameters associated with overall corporate performance. The program also balances annual rewards for achieving financial success year over year with rewards tied to long-term share price performance. As part of its review and discussion of the compensation program, the Committee considers the risks associated with Dexterra's compensation program and noted the following elements of Dexterra's business model and its governance and control system that mitigate the risk that Dexterra's executives will take unnecessary or excessive risk for the sake of enhanced rewards:

  • The nature of Dexterra's business is such that there are very few asset or liability valuation judgments that management must make. The annual bonus program is based primarily on financial parameters that are earnings and cash flow dependent as opposed to being driven by asset or liability valuation judgments. A smaller component of the program relates to health and safety and key employee retention.
  • Dexterra's ultimate long-term goal is to generate sustainable shareholder returns. The compensation program recognizes that developing sustainable shareholder returns takes time and thus provides rewards for long-term success to mitigate the risk that short-term, less sustainable actions are taken to enhance immediate share price performance.
  • The annual bonus program does not pay out rewards until financial results are completed and reported and approved by the Committee.
  • Named Executive Officers (as outlined in the table below titled "Summary Compensation") ("NEOs"), other executive officers and directors are not permitted to purchase financial instruments that are designed to hedge or offset a decrease in market value of equity securities granted as compensation or held, directly or indirectly, by the Named Executive Officer, other executive officer or director.

Named Executive Officers

For the financial year ended December 31, 2022, there were five (5) NEOs of Dexterra consisting of John MacCuish, CEO; Drew Knight, CFO; Mark Becker Chief Operating Officer ("COO"); Mike Hammerschmidt, VP Energy Services; and Christos Gazeas, Executive Vice President, Legal, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary.

For fiscal 2022, the Committee quantified and reviewed all elements of the compensation of Dexterra's NEOs set out in the Summary Compensation Table below. The Committee also quantified and reviewed the projected payouts to the NEOs and payouts resulting from their termination and under the Option Plan and other payouts. The Committee reviewed this information at a meeting held in late 2022 and later reviewed the final information in early 2023 when the financial results for the fiscal year were known to ensure that it had a complete understanding of each element of the compensation arrangements in effect for the NEO's, including an understanding of the "total" current executive compensation including future commitments.

The Committee believes that the total compensation packages of Dexterra's executive officers are appropriate in light of Dexterra's overall performance during 2022, given profitability and cashflow performance and other metrics as described above. The Committee also considered Dexterra's shareholder returns as a factor in its compensation determinations. It undertook a review of the five-year cumulative total shareholder return chart (set out below) and gave due weight to the fact that, Dexterra plans to have superior shareholder returns in future years. An additional factor reviewed by the Committee was compensation data from the above referenced Mercer Canada report. The Committee also noted that Dexterra's free cash flow, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") multiple, dividend amount and price to book ratio was in line with other Canadian public support services companies in 2022. It also noted that Dexterra's balance sheet continued to be among the strongest in its peer group with Dexterra's debt to EBITDA ratio providing plenty of covenant room under its Credit Facility for acquisitions and organic growth initiatives.

Annual Salaries

Executive salaries are established after considering individual responsibilities and experience, size and complexity of operations or functions for which they are responsible, and competitive market information. This element provides a fixed level of cash compensation for performing these responsibilities. Salary adjustments consider the individual's success in their role and competitive market information.

Annual Cash Performance Bonus

The annual bonus for all NEOs is designed to pay out awards based on Dexterra's performance for the year. Financial performance is measured by targets for revenue, EBITDA, free cash flow, safety and corporate culture measured by key management turnover ratios.

Revenue growth is measured on a year over year basis, while EBITDA margins, free cash flow, return on investment, safety performance metrics and management turnover are compared to specific target ranges. The Board takes these factors into consideration and applies subjectivity in determining the individual performance component for the CEO.

In 2022, all NEOs earned a cash bonus in accordance with the programme. As the EBITDA gateway set out was lower than the minimum, the Board exercised its discretion aligned with the formulae described above in amounts set forth in the Summary Compensation Table set out below. Unlike other NEOs but consistent with the programme, Mr. Hammerschmidt's payment was based on Dexterra's performance in addition to the financial and operational results of the Energy Services division. Recovering from the unexpected consequences of the pandemic, managing rapid inflation and labour market conditions were issues navigated by the NEOs and the Board sought to acknowledge these efforts.

Dexterra's long-term goal is to provide returns to Shareholders through share price appreciation and quarterly dividend payments. In the Board's view, continued focus on achieving strong annual financial and operational performance should lead to success in consistently achieving the long-term goal.

Long Term Incentive Plan – Options and Restricted and Performance Share Units

Dexterra continues to employ a "pay-for-performance philosophy" whereby fixed elements of pay are positioned at market median levels and short and longer-term incentives are structured to provide above-market total compensation for high levels of performance. Starting in 2021, Dexterra has taken a portfolio approach to long-term incentives for management by combining cash-based performance share units ("PSUs") in with Options to purchase Common Shares. At Dexterra, a combination of PSUs and Options is currently being used to attain a market-competitive total direct compensation program for specified members of executive management.

On January 5, 2022, in addition to Option grants for both management and the Board, the Board granted PSUs to members of management and RSUs to non-management members of the Board upon the recommendation of the Committee and based on work performed by Mercer. As of March 21, 2023, there are 2,404,570 Options outstanding, 134,304 RSUs outstanding and 974,673 PSUs outstanding, such amounts including grants made subsequent to yearend for the 2023 financial year.

Option Plan

Details regarding the Option Plan are contained under the heading "Re-approval of Dexterra Option Plan".

Restricted Share Units and Performance Share Units

The Board approved a cash-based RSU plan on May 5, 2016 which governs the issuance of non-assignable and nontransferrable RSUs of Dexterra. On December 1, 2020, the Board approved an Amended and Restated RSU and PSU Incentive Awards Plan (the "Plan") to allow for, among other things, the grant of Performance Share Units ("PSUs"). The directors, officers and employees of Dexterra and its subsidiaries are eligible to participate in the Plan. The purpose of the Plan is to provide long term incentives to directors, officers and employees involved in the oversight and operations of Dexterra. The Plan is designed to foster and promote the long-term financial success of Dexterra and increase shareholder value by strengthening Dexterra's capability to: attract and retain high quality individuals as directors, officers and employees; motivate performance through incentive compensation; recognize the contributions made by certain individuals to Dexterra's growth and financial success; promote greater alignment of interests between Participants and shareholders in creating long-term shareholder value; and enable directors, officers and employees to participate in the long-term growth and financial success of Dexterra.

RSUs are notional shares that have the same value at any given time as the Common Shares, but do not entitle the participant to any shareholder rights, including without limitation, voting rights, dividend entitlement or rights on liquidation and are non-dilutive to Shareholders. The RSUs vest no later than the date that is the third anniversary of the end of the calendar year in which the services were performed in which the grant of RSUs relates. Vesting provisions for RSUs shall be fixed by the Board and the Board may at any time shorten the vesting period of all or part of any RSU award. The currently outstanding RSUs vest in equal tranches of 33.33% over 3 years. In the event of a change of control, the Board may amend the terms of the issued RSUs to permit vesting prior to the completion of the change of control.

Each RSU has a payout value equal to the closing price of the Common Shares as of the date immediately preceding the applicable payout date, less any applicable withholding taxes. The payout date for issued RSUs is as soon as reasonably practicable after the vesting date.

The RSU plan is not subject to a multiplier that may increase the number of shares to be valued on settlement based on performance or any other measure.

PSUs are notional shares granted contingent upon achievement of the defined performance vesting criteria of total shareholder return measured over a three-year period from the grant date of the PSU (the "Performance Period"). PSUs do not entitle the participant to any shareholder rights, including without limitation, voting rights, dividend entitlement or rights on liquidation and are non-dilutive to Shareholders.

Performance Vesting Criteria for PSUs shall be fixed by the Board and the Board retains the discretion to make adjustments to the components of the Performance Vesting Criteria as necessary to reflect the intent thereof in the event of a change in Dexterra's share structure over the Performance Period. Performance Criteria set by the Board at the time of the grant of PSUs, may include: i) total shareholder return ("TSR"), including dividends; ii) the participant's satisfactory individual performance; and iii) any other terms and conditions the Board may in its discretion determine with respect to vesting.

The aggregate number of PSUs which vest may be equal to or less than 100% of the target number of PSUs granted for the Performance Period based on the level of performance achieved as set out in the chart below for PSUs granted in 2022:

Total Shareholder Return for the Performance Period of
January 5, 2022 to January 5, 2025
Percentage of PSUs that vest
Less than 30% 0% vest
30% 50% vest
50% 75% vest
70% or greater 100% vest

As soon as practicable after the end of the applicable Performance Period the Board shall determine the TSR of Dexterra over the three-year Performance Period. The Board may use Dexterra's CFO who may also obtain information including from Bloomberg to calculate TSR.

TSR for the Performance Period will be calculated using the following formula:

TSR = {(vesting price - grant price) + dividends} ÷ grant price

Where:

"vesting price" is calculated as the volume weighted average trading price of the Common Shares of Dexterra on the applicable stock exchange for the last 20 trading days of the Performance Period.

"grant price" is calculated as the volume weighted average trading price of the Common Shares on the applicable stock exchange for the last 20 trading days prior to the beginning of the Performance Period.

"dividends" includes all dividends or distributions paid during the Performance Period on such Common Shares.

For greater clarity, the following is an example calculation of TSR over the Performance Period where the grant price was \$8.39, the vesting price was \$11.00, and there were \$1.05 in cumulative dividends paid over the Performance Period.

Example:

{(\$11.00-\$8.39)+\$1.05} = 43.6.%
\$8.39

The payout date for issued PSUs is as soon as reasonably practicable after the vesting date, less any applicable withholding taxes.

The maximum value of PSUs and RSUs granted to any one non-employee director within any one-year period, when aggregated with the securities granted under all security based compensation arrangements of Dexterra to the nonemployee director during such period, shall not exceed \$150,000, as calculated based on a fair value basis of the PSUs and RSUs on the date of grant.

On January 5, 2022, employees were granted Options and PSUs and directors were granted Options and RSUs.

Share Price Performance Graph in Relation to Executive Compensation

Dexterra compensates its NEOs through annual salary, annual performance bonus and equity-based compensation. As outlined in the "Compensation Discussion and Analysis", executive salaries are established after considering individual responsibilities and experience, providing a fixed level of compensation for performing these responsibilities. Compensation derived from the annual performance bonus and equity-based compensation for NEOs are generally consistent with the trend illustrated in the above Performance Graph.

Within total compensation, in 2022, the Committee sought to balance the various components with a view to recognizing the inflationary and supply chain pressures affecting the business, while driving to achieve short term and long-term objectives. Besides base salary and personal benefits all other compensation is at-risk, which means that all the cash bonus, PSUs and options are at-risk and tied to Dexterra's performance for all NEOs.

COMPENSATION OF NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

Compensation was paid to the NEOs during the most recently completed fiscal year as disclosed below.

Notes:

(1) Value of the PSUs was determined by assuming the PSU will vest 100% and by multiplying the number of cash settled PSUs granted in 2022 and 2021 by \$8.35 and \$6.50, respectively, which was the closing price of the Common Shares on the TSX on the grant date of January 5, 2022 and 2021, respectively. However, these PSUs do not vest until three years after their grant date, and any vesting is subject to performance criteria noted above under the heading "Long Term Incentive Plan – Options and Restricted and Performance Share Units", which includes a total shareholder return (including dividends) of 70% and 73% above their grant price for the 2022 and 2021 PSUs granted, respectively. However, if the total shareholder return of the Common Shares is less than 73% or 70%, as the case may be, the amount of PSUs that vest is reduced on a sliding scale and if the total shareholder return is 40% or 30% less for the 2021 and 2022 PSU grants, respectively, no PSUs would vest.

(2) The value to the recipient of any Option grant is Nil on the grant date as the exercise price of the Option is equal or greater than the market value of the underlying Common Share. The value, if any, ultimately received by an Option holder as compensation is equal to the difference between the fair value of the underlying Common Share on the date the Option is exercised and the exercise price of the Option. This amount is also equal to the value forgone by Dexterra when it issues a Common Share on exercise of an Option at a price that is less than the prevailing market price. The fair value of the Options granted annually is obtained by multiplying the number of Options granted by their value established according to the Black Scholes model. In 2022, this value was determined using the following assumptions; dividend yield of 5%; expected average volatilities of 56.21% to 64.44%; average risk-free rates of interest of 1.01% to 1.24%, average forfeiture rate of 9.25% and average expective life of options of three years. In 2021, this value was determined using the following assumptions; dividend yield of 4.615%; expected average volatilities of 57.32% to 68.92%; average risk-free rates of interest of 0.19% to 0.31%. In 2020, this value was determined using the following assumptions: dividend yields of 0.0% to 4.93%; expected average volatilities of 57.29% to 70.45%; average risk-free rates of interest of 0.19% to 0.37%; average forfeiture rate of 9.87% to 10.08%; and average expected life of option of three years. The fair value of option grants have been determined using the same methodology and values used in determining the option value for our financial statements as we believe it represents the best estimate of fair value of the options at the time of the grant.

  • (3) See "Annual Performance Bonus".
  • (4) Refers to all non-equity incentive plan compensation related to a period longer than one year. No non-equity long-term incentives were earned by NEOs during the 2020, 2021 or 2022 financial years.
  • (5) Unless otherwise noted hereunder, the value of perquisites and benefits for each NEO is less than \$50,000 and less than 10% of each NEO's total salary for the financial years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022.
  • (6) Mr. MacCuish was appointed co-CEO and President Facilities Management of Dexterra on May 29, 2020 pursuant to the Transaction. From January 1, 2020 to May 29, 2020 Mr. MacCuish earned \$155,770 as President of DIFM and from May 29, 2020 to December 31, 2020 Mr. MacCuish earned 334,615 in his role as CEO of Dexterra. Mr. MacCuish was appointed CEO and President Integrated Facilities Management on August 18, 2020. Mr. MacCuish's annual salary is \$600,000. Mr. MacCuish relinquished the President Integrated Facilities Management role on May 31, 2022, after the appointment of Sanjay Gomes to take over that role.
  • (7) Mr. Knight was appointed CFO of Dexterra on July 2, 2020, with an annual salary at the time of \$300,000. Effective January 1, 2021, his salary increased to \$325,000.
  • (8) Mr. Becker joined Dexterra as President Industrial Services on August 22, 2018, with an annual salary of \$350,000 Mr. Becker was appointed COO and President Workforce Accommodations Forestry and Energy Services ("WAFES") of Dexterra on August 18, 2020. Effective January 1, 2021, Mr. Becker's salary increased to \$400,000. During 2022, Mr. Becker relinquished the role of President of WAFES to Jeff Litchfield on May 26, 2022 and assumed the role of President Modular Solutions on a temporary basis from May 26, 2022 to September 26, 2022 until the appointment of Robert Johnston for that role.
  • (9) Mr. Gazeas was appointed Executive Vice President, Legal and General Counsel on December 31, 2021 with an annual salary of \$260,000. Mr. Gazeas also assumed the Corporate Secretary role in July of 2021.
  • (10) Effective April 1, 2020 salary reductions for the individuals holding the position of Senior Vice President/President were reduced 15%. Effective June 1, 2020, the Board approved the reinstatement of the salaries without retroactive pay.

Outstanding Share-Based Awards and Option-Based Awards

The following table sets forth all option-based and share-based awards outstanding as at December 31, 2022 made to the NEOs:

Notes: (1) Options to purchase Common Shares.

(2) Based on the market price defined in the Option Plan which is the closing share price on the TSX of the Common Shares on the trading day prior to the date of grant.

(3) Based on the December 30, 2022 closing share price on the TSX of \$5.53 per Common Share.

(4) Cash settled PSUs. As noted above, the PSUs are subject to performance vesting conditions tied to a total shareholder return. Above assumes that all PSUs fully vest, meaning that the total shareholder return (including dividends) of the Common Shares over the 3 year period after the grant would need to exceed 73% or 70% of the grant date price for the 2021 and 2022 PSU grants, respectively. However, if the total shareholder return of the Common Shares is less than 73% or 70%, as the case may be, the amount of PSUs that vest is reduced on a sliding scale and if the total shareholder return is 40% or 30% less for the 2021 and 2022 PSU grants, respectively, no PSUs would vest. At a \$5.53 share price, none of the PSUs would vest.

A description of our corporate governance practices is set out below.

Director Orientation and Education

The Corporate Governance and Compensation Committee is responsible for ensuring that new directors are provided with an orientation and education program which includes written information about the duties and obligations of directors, the business and operations of Dexterra, documents from recent Board meetings and discussion with senior management and other directors. The members of the Board also attend an off-site tour of operating facilities.

Directors are expected to attend all scheduled Board and committee meetings in person, although attendance by telephone or video conference is permissible in appropriate circumstances. Directors are also expected to prepare thoroughly in advance of each meeting in order to actively participate in the deliberations and decisions.

The Board recognizes the importance of ongoing director education and the need for each director to take personal responsibility for this process. Each director is expected to participate in continuing education programs to maintain any professional designation that they may have and to stay current on relevant issues such as corporate governance, financial and accounting practices. In addition, each director is expected to participate in programs that would be necessary to maintain a level of expertise in order to perform his or her responsibilities as a director and to provide ongoing guidance and direction to management. To facilitate ongoing education of Dexterra's directors, the Corporate Governance and Compensation Committee will arrange the funding for the attendance of directors at seminars or conferences of interest and relevance to their position as a director of Dexterra, if required. The Board receives regular presentations from key management focused on providing business updates and deepening the Board's knowledge of the business of Dexterra and in December 2022 received an in-depth management strategy session. Dexterra also has a full corporate board membership with the Institute of Corporate Directors which provides the directors access to learning forums to advance their governance knowledge and build the necessary skills to enhance their contributions in the boardroom.

Ethical Business Conduct

The Board of Directors has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics ("Code of Ethics"), a copy of which has been filed on SEDAR at sedar.com and is available on Dexterra's website at www.dexterra.com. A copy may also be obtained upon request to the Corporate Secretary of Dexterra at Dexterra's head office located at 5915 Airport Rd., Suite 425, Mississauga, ON L4V 1T1.

The Corporate Governance and Compensation Committee has the responsibility for monitoring compliance with the Code of Ethics and also ensures that management encourages and promotes a culture of ethical business conduct. The Board, through the Audit Committee Chair, also receives reports of all financial or accounting and other appropriate issues raised through Dexterra's anonymous toll-free whistleblower hotline.

The Board encourages and promotes an overall culture of ethical business conduct by promoting compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations; providing guidance to directors, officers and employees to help them recognize and deal with ethical issues; promoting a culture of open communication, honesty and accountability; and ensuring awareness of disciplinary action for violations of ethical business conduct.

The qualities which Dexterra seeks in its directors as well as in its executive officer positions restricts the availability of suitable individuals, as does its experience that a director or executive officer should be an individual with whom Dexterra has had sufficient experience to ensure there is mutual compatibility. Given these limiting paramount considerations and Fairfax's current board nomination rights under the Investment Rights Agreement that allows it to nominate up to 50% of the Board, the achievement of diversity of race, ethnicity, gender, national origin, sexual orientation, abilities or similar categorizations is not an overriding factor in Dexterra's choice of directors or executive officers, and Dexterra does not have any formal policy on gender or other diversity on its Board or among its executive officers or on the identification and nomination of female directors, do not have fixed percentages or targets for any selection criteria.

However, Dexterra is committed to the fundamental principles of equal employment opportunities which are prescribed in its employment policies which further provide for Dexterra's commitment to treating people fairly, with respect and dignity, and to offering equal employment opportunities based upon an individual's qualifications and performance. Dexterra's employees represent diversity of culture, ethnicity and age demographic.

Diversity is one of the core values that drives Dexterra's business. Through diversity and inclusion, Dexterra is creating a work culture that inspires employees to embrace initiative and drive innovation. Dexterra is certified and will remain committed to Employment Equity under the Federal Contractors Program. Dexterra has set goals for employment equity for the four designated groups in its workforce by August 2024, (i) increasing the percentage of women employed at Dexterra to 44% ( 42% currently), (ii) increasing the percentage Indigenous Peoples employed at Dexterra to 9% (9% currently), (iii) maintain or improve the representation of visible minorities employed at Dexterra at 32% or above (15% currently) and (iv) increase the percentage of persons with disabilities employed at Dexterra to 7% (5% currently).

In addition to the value of Diversity, Dexterra's new values include Accountability, Trust and Partnership. These were introduced following feedback from employees. Dexterra's directors and leaders have been equipped to demonstrate and support behaviours aligned with its core values.

Dexterra recognizes that the quality of its people is critical to its success. The quality of Dexterra's people, their engagement and focus are significant factors in Dexterra's performance. Dexterra invests in resources and programming to attract, retain, and develop high-quality talent across the company and at all levels. Dexterra works to cultivate a culture of positive engagement and performance. Dexterra is powered by passionate people.

As at the date hereof, three (3) of the nine (9) members of the Board of Dexterra are women (33.33%). Effective May 1, 2023, two (2) of the nine (9) executive officers of Dexterra are women (22.2%).

Board Performance Evaluation

The Corporate Governance and Compensation Committee has the mandate and responsibility to ensure that a process is in place for the annual review of the performance of individual directors, the Board as a whole and the Board committees. Typically, annual board evaluations are conducted at the start of each year which require directors to complete questionnaires rating items such as structure and size of the Board and each committee, the knowledge and diversity of membership as well as the quality and timeliness of information received for discussion and the overall effectiveness in decision making. These questionnaires also include individual director self-evaluations along with committee evaluations. The completed questionnaires are forwarded to the Corporate Secretary who compiles the results into a single document that includes any comments that may have been forwarded, for presentation to the Chair of the Corporate Governance and Compensation Committee. The anonymity of any particular submitter is maintained with the aggregate results presented to the Chair of the Corporate Governance and Compensation Committee. The results are then communicated to the full Board for discussion and recommendations as necessary. The most recent board assessment was completed in early 2023.

Director Term Limits and Other Mechanisms of Board Renewal

The Board has not adopted term limits for the directors on the Board or other mechanisms of Board renewal. Instead, the Corporate Governance and Compensation Committee have the mandate and responsibility to ensure that a process is in place for the annual review of the performance of individual directors, the Board as a whole and the Board Committees. Through this annual review process, such committee determines whether an individual director is able to continue to make an effective contribution. The Board is of the view that such annual review process is more effective than term limits or other mechanisms of Board renewal such as a mandatory retirement age.

Communicating with the Board

Shareholders may write to the Board or any member or members of the Board in care of the Corporate Secretary at the head office of Dexterra, at the following address:

Dexterra Group Inc. 5915 Airport Rd., Suite 425, Mississauga, ON L4V 1T1

Letters addressed to the Board, or any individual independent director, are reviewed as a group to determine if a response from the Board is appropriate. While the Board oversees management, it does not participate in the day-today functions and operations of Dexterra and is not normally in the best position to respond to inquiries on those matters. Inquiries on operations or day-to-day management of Dexterra will be directed to the appropriate personnel within Dexterra for a response. The Board has instructed the Corporate Secretary to review all correspondence and, in his discretion, not to forward any items if they:

  • are not relevant to Dexterra's operations, policies and philosophies;
  • are commercial in nature; or
  • are not appropriate for consideration by the Board.

All inquiries will receive a written response from either the Board or management, as appropriate. The Corporate Secretary maintains a log of all correspondence addressed to members of the Board. Directors may review the log at any time and request copies of any correspondence received.

The Exercise Price, and the number of shares available to the Optionee shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

  • (a) if the Corporation shall:

  • ii. reduce, combine or consolidate its outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of shares, the number of shares deliverable by the Corporation on any exercise thereafter of the Options shall be reduced to such number of shares as would have resulted from such consolidation or change if the exercise of the Options had been made prior to the date of such consolidation or change; or
  • iii. issue Common Shares (or securities convertible or exchangeable into Common Shares) to the holders of any of its outstanding Common Shares by way of a stock dividend (other than an issue of Common Shares to holders of Common Shares who exercise an option to receive stock dividends in lieu of cash dividends), the Corporation shall deliver, at the time of any exercise thereafter of the Options, such additional number of shares as would have resulted from such stock dividend if the exercise of the Options been made prior to the date of such stock dividend; and,

in addition, the Exercise Price, in effect immediately after such subdivision, re-division, change, reduction, combination or consolidation or such issue of Common Shares (or securities convertible or exchangeable into Common Shares) by way of a stock dividend becomes effective or is paid, as the case may be, shall, in the case of the events referred to in (i) and (iii), be decreased in the same proportion to the increase in the number of outstanding Common Shares resulting from such subdivision, re-division or change or such dividend (including, in the case where securities convertible or exchangeable into Common Shares are issued, as a stock dividend the number of Common Shares that would have been outstanding had such securities been converted or exchanged into Common Shares on such date of issuance thereof), or, in the case of (ii), shall be increased in the same proportion to the decrease in the number of outstanding Common Shares resulting from such reduction, combination or consolidation; such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event referred to in this subparagraph 11.1(a) shall occur, any such issue of Common Shares (or securities convertible or exchangeable into Common Shares) by way of stock dividend referred to in (iii) above shall be deemed to have been made on the date the stock dividend is paid for the purpose of calculating the number of outstanding Common Shares under this paragraph 11.1, and to the extent that any such securities convertible or exchangeable into Common Shares are not converted into Common Shares prior to the expiration of the conversion right contained in such securities, the Exercise Price shall be readjusted, effective as of the date of such expiration, to the Exercise Price, which would then be in effect based upon the number of Common Shares actually issued on the exercise of such conversion right;

  • (b) if the Corporation shall fix a record date for the issuance of rights or options to all or substantially all of the holders of its outstanding Common Shares entitling them, for a period expiring not more than 45 days after such record date, to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares (or securities convertible or exchangeable into Common Shares) at a price per share (or having a conversion or exchange price per share) less than 90% of the Market Value on such record date, then subject to paragraph 11.2, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted immediately after such record date so that it shall equal a price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price, in effect immediately before such record date by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the sum of: (i) the total number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date; plus (ii) a number of Common Shares equal to the number arrived at by dividing (A) the aggregate price of the total number of additional Common Shares offered for subscription or purchase (or the aggregate conversion or exchange price of the convertible or exchangeable securities so offered) by (B) the Market Value, and of which the denominator shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date or date of entering into such agreement plus the total number of additional Common Shares offered for subscription or purchase (or into which the convertible or exchangeable securities so offered are convertible or exchangeable); it being understood and agreed that (iii) any Common Shares owned by or held for the account of the Corporation shall be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such computation; (iv) such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such record date is fixed or agreement entered into; (v) if all such rights or options or rights to acquire Common Shares or convertible or exchangeable securities are not exercised prior to the expiration thereof, the Exercise Price, as the case may be, shall be readjusted, effective as of the date of such expiration, to the Exercise Price, which would then be in effect based upon the number of Common Shares (or securities convertible or exchangeable into Common Shares) actually delivered upon the exercise of such rights, options, Options or rights as the case may be;
  • (c) if the Corporation shall fix a record date for the making of a distribution to all or substantially all the holders of its outstanding Common Shares of:
  • i. shares of any class other than Common Shares;
  • ii. rights or options (excluding those referred to in subparagraph 11.1(b) and rights or options to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares (or securities convertible or exchangeable into Common Shares) for a period of not more than 45 days after such record date at a price per Common Share (or having a conversion or exchange price per Common Share) not less than 90% of the Current Market Price on such record date);
  • iii. evidences of its indebtedness; or
  • iv. assets (excluding assets distributed as Dividends Paid in the Ordinary Course);

then in each such case, subject to paragraph 11.2, the Exercise Price, shall be adjusted immediately after such record date so that it shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price, in effect on such record date by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the: (A) total number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date multiplied by the Market Value on such record date; less (B) the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors) of such shares or rights or options or evidences of indebtedness or assets so distributed, and of which the denominator shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date multiplied by such Market Value; it being understood and agreed that (v) any Common Shares owned by or held for the account of the Corporation shall be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such computation; (vi) such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed; (vii) to the extent that such distribution of shares, evidences of indebtedness or assets is not so made or to the extent that any rights or options so distributed are not exercised, the Exercise Price, shall be readjusted to the Exercise Price, as the case may be, which would then be in effect based upon such shares, evidences of indebtedness or assets actually distributed or based upon the number of Common Shares (or securities convertible or exchangeable into Common Shares) actually delivered upon the exercise of such rights or options, as the case may be.

In the event the Corporation contemplates making any distribution referred to in this subparagraph 11.1(c), the Corporation shall give written notice of such event to all Optionees. The Corporation shall not make a distribution under this subparagraph 11.1(c) where the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors), of the shares or rights, options or Options or evidences of indebtedness or assets so distributed exceeds the product of the Market Value on the record date for such distribution multiplied by the total number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date unless the holders are permitted and such holders have elected, or have waived in writing or are deemed to have waived their right, to participate in such distribution as though and to the same extent as if they had converted their Options into Common Shares immediately prior to such distribution even though in fact they have not converted their Options. An Optionee shall be deemed to have waived its right to so participate under this subparagraph 11.1(c) where such Optionee has not elected in writing to participate by delivery of such election to the Corporation within fourteen (14) days of the date on which notice of the event was given by the Corporation.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Exercise Price of the Options shall not be reduced in such a manner that the difference between the Exercise Price and the fair market value of the Common Shares (the "In the Money Value of the Options") immediately after the transaction or event described in subparagraphs 11.1(b) or (c) is greater than the In the Money Value of the Options immediately before the transaction or event described in subparagraphs 11.1(b) or (c).

Subject to the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange (when the Common shares are listed on such exchange), no adjustments of the Exercise Price, shall be made pursuant to subparagraphs (b) or (c) of paragraph 11.1 if the Optionees of the Options participated or such Optionees have elected or have waived or are deemed to have waived their right to participate in the issue of such rights, options or Options or such distribution, as the case may be, as though and to the same extent as if they had converted their Options into Common Shares prior to the issue of such rights, options or Options or such distribution, as the case may be.

Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, no adjustment of the Exercise Price, shall be made in any case in which the resulting increase or decrease in the Exercise Price would be, less than 1% of the then Exercise Price, but in such case any adjustment that would otherwise have been required then to be made shall be carried forward and made at the time of, and together with, the next subsequent adjustment to the Exercise Price, which (either directly or indirectly by setting aside the rights, options or other assets to be made available on exercise of the Options) together with any and all such adjustments so carried forward, shall result in an increase or decrease in the Exercise Price, by not less than 1%.

When any action is taken which requires an increase or decrease of the Exercise Price, under paragraph 11.1, the Corporation shall forthwith deliver a copy to each registered Optionee of Options, a certificate signed by any officer or director of the Corporation setting forth the details of the action taken and, as the case may be, the increased or decreased Exercise Price, and the details of the computation of the adjusted Exercise Price.

Upon the surrender of any Options for conversion, the number of full Common Shares issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of such Options to be converted and, in any case where a fraction of a Common Share is involved, the Corporation shall adjust such fractional interest rounded to the nearest whole number of Common Shares.

In case of any reclassification or change (other than a change referred in subparagraph 11.1(a)) of the Common Shares or capital reorganization of the Corporation other than as referred to in paragraph 11.1, or in the case of any amalgamation, consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into any other corporation, trust, partnership or other entity, or in the case of any sale of the properties and assets of the Corporation as, or substantially as, an entirety to any other corporation, trust, partnership or other entity, each Option shall, after such reclassification, change, amalgamation, consolidation, merger or sale, be convertible (but not unless and until convertible) into the number of shares or other securities or property of the Corporation, or such continuing, successor or purchasing corporation, trust, partnership or other entity, as the case may be, to which a Optionee of the number of Common Shares as would have been issued if such Options had been converted immediately prior to such reclassification, change, amalgamation, consolidation, merger or sale would have been entitled upon such reclassification, change, amalgamation, consolidation, merger or sale. Any such determination shall be conclusive and binding on the Corporation and the holders of the Options. No such reclassification, change, amalgamation, consolidation, merger or sale shall be carried into effect unless, in the opinion of the Board of Directors, all necessary steps shall have been taken to ensure that the Optionees shall thereafter be entitled to receive such number of shares or other securities or property of the Corporation, or such continuing, successor or purchasing corporation, trust, partnership or entity, as the case may be, subject to adjustment thereafter in accordance with provisions similar, as nearly as may be, to those contained in this Section 11.

So long as any Options remain outstanding and if the provisions of paragraph 11.1 are applicable to a proposed dividend, repayment of capital or other distribution the Corporation shall give to the Optionees at least fourteen (14) days' prior notice of the record date for such payment of any cash dividend, stock dividend or other distribution on its Common Shares and shall give at least thirty (30) days' prior notice before making any above described repayment of capital on its Common Shares. The accidental failure or omission to give the notice required by this paragraph 11.8 or any defect therein shall not affect the legality or validity of any such payment, distribution or issue.

The Corporation covenants and agrees that it shall not, during the periods of notice as aforesaid, close its share transfer book, other than after normal business hours, or take any other corporate action which might deprive an Optionee of Options from the opportunity of exercising any rights herein provided.

If in the opinion of the Board of Directors the provisions of this Section 11 are not strictly applicable, or if strictly applicable would not fairly protect the rights of the Optionees, and other securities of the Corporation in accordance with the intent and purposes hereof, the Board of Directors shall make any adjustment in such provisions as the Board of Directors deems appropriate.
