ABOUT DISCOVERY SILVER CORP.

Discovery Silver Corp. (the "Company" or "Discovery") is an Americas-focused mining company with a diversified portfolio including high-quality gold producing assets in and near Timmins, Ontario, Canada and 100% ownership of the Cordero project in Mexico, one of the world's largest silver development-stage projects.

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

May 13, 2026

To Our Fellow Shareholders,

2025 was another year of significant achievement for Discovery. The completion of the acquisition of Newmont Corporation's Porcupine Complex (the "Porcupine Acquisition") transformed our business into a North American-focused metals and mining company that combines growing gold production in Northern Ontario, Canada, with one of the world's leading silver development projects in Mexico. And our growth continues! Earlier this year, we agreed to acquire Glencore Canada's Kidd Operations (the "Kidd Acquisition"), including the Kidd Metallurgical Site, Kidd Tailings Management Area and Kidd Creek Mine. Discovery is targeting significant growth at its operations in and around Timmins, which include plans to increase production from 234,000 ounces last year to between half and three-quarters of a million ounces per year over the next three to five years.

The Kidd Operations are expected to play a key role in this strategy by providing an opportunity to substantially increase our processing and tailings capacity. We plan to incorporate the Kidd Met Site into our growth plans for Porcupine, including constructing one, and possibly two, gold circuits at the facility to process ore from existing mines. The Kidd Acquisition includes a large land position contiguous with Hoyle Pond and Pamour that will support future expansion of both operations and provide an opportunity for development of the TVZ Zone. In addition, it also provides important synergies that will augment Discovery's current operations and adds exposure to copper, zinc, silver from the Kidd Creek Mine, and provides significant exploration potential for critical minerals and precious metals in the region.

Market fundamentals for both gold and silver strengthened considerably in 2025 and remained strong in the first several months of 2026. The favorable price environment, combined with the positive market reaction to the Kidd Acquisition and the Porcupine Acquisition, and continued optimism around the future of Cordero, have contributed to significant share price outperformance. We are pleased to report that Discovery was the top performing stock on the S&P/TSX Composite Index in 2025, with our share price increasing more than 11 times (from $0.71 to $8.38 at December 31, 2025). Even more gratifying is the potential for continued outperformance that exists given the asset portfolio we have established and the growth and value creation upside that our company possesses.

Turning to Cordero, our February 2024 Feasibility Study clearly established the potential for the project to become one of the world's largest and most valuable silver producers, with total reserves of over 300 million ounces of silver. As we have continued to work through permitting process, we have maintained our commitment to responsible development and strong environmental stewardship in everything we do at Cordero. In 2025, we were particularly pleased to receive the internationally recognized Great Place to Work Certification for the fourth consecutive year.

Additionally, Discovery's Minera Titán was once again recognized as a Socially Responsible Company by the Mexican Center for Philanthropy for the fourth consecutive year. This distinction evaluates companies across nine indicators and four key criteria of Environment, Governance, Social Responsibility and Global Context. We are honored that Minera Titán achieved the highest score - a reflection of our continued commitment to responsible mining and sustainable practices that benefit our people, communities, and the environment.

Looking ahead, 2026 has already been transformational for our company, most notably with the announcement of the Kidd Acquisition, and we plan to keep the momentum going. At Porcupine, we continue to invest to optimize the existing operations and have released positive drill results at all the operations, confirming the outstanding exploration potential


DISCOVERY

that exists. At Kidd, we have started the drills turning at the mine and are taking steps to incorporate the Kidd Metallurgical Site into our growth plans at Porcupine. In Mexico, we remain optimistic that Cordero will complete the permitting phase and be advancing towards development by the end of the year.

On behalf of the Board of Directors, we would first like to thank our dedicated and talented team, which includes our new employees joining us at the Kidd Operations. Transforming a company is no easy accomplishment, and we would like to recognize the energy and commitment of our dedicated team that made 2025 an exceptional year. We also want to express our sincere gratitude to our fellow shareholders. Finally, we very much appreciate the support we receive from other key stakeholder groups, including our local communities and First Nations partners. We look forward to building on our strong relationships as we continue to write a new chapter for mining in the century-old Timmins Camp.

We are truly excited about Discovery's future as we work together to establish a highly profitable mining company that achieves excellence in all aspects of responsible and sustainable mining and creates value for all its stakeholders.

Sincerely,

Tony Makuch
President, CEO and Chairman

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR

ABOUT THE SHAREHOLDER MEETING

SOLICITATION OF PROXIES

You have received this management information circular ("Circular") because you owned common shares ("Common Shares") of Discovery Silver Corp. ("Discovery" or the "Company") as at May 13, 2026. You are therefore entitled to attend and vote at the annual and special meeting (the "Meeting") of shareholders (the "Shareholders") of the Company to be held at 1:00 p.m. ET on Monday June 22, 2026, and any adjournment or postponement thereof.

The board of directors of the Company (the "Board") has fixed the close of business on May 13, 2026, as the record date for the Meeting, being the date for the determination of the Registered Shareholders (as defined below) entitled to receive notice of, and to vote at, the Meeting and any adjournment or postponement thereof (the "Record Date").

Management is soliciting your proxy for the Meeting. The Board has fixed 1:00 p.m. (Toronto Time) on Thursday June 18, 2026, or 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays, or holidays) before any adjournment or postponement of the Meeting, as the time by which proxies to be acted upon at the Meeting must be deposited with the Company's transfer agent, TSX Trust Company ("TSX Trust" or the "Transfer Agent"). The time limit for the deposit of proxies may be waived or extended by the Chair of the Meeting (the "Meeting Chair") at his or her discretion without notice.

INFORMATION REGARDING THE VOTING OF COMMON SHARES

Voting

Each Registered Shareholder and each person representing a Registered Shareholder or Beneficial Shareholder (as defined below) through a proxy (a "Proxyholder") will be entitled to one vote for each Common Shares held or represented, respectively. To approve an ordinary resolution proposed at the Meeting, a majority of the votes cast will be required. To approve a special resolution proposed at the Meeting, two-thirds (66 2/3%) of the votes cast will be required.

Quorum

Quorum for the Meeting consists of one person present in person, being a Shareholder entitled to vote at the Meeting, or a duly appointed proxy or Proxyholder for an absent Shareholder so entitled.

Registered Shareholders

Only Shareholders registered in the Company's shareholder register maintained by the Transfer Agent or their duly appointed Proxyholders will be able to attend the Meeting, ask the Board questions and submit votes in real time at the Meeting.

Every registered holder of Common Shares ("Registered Shareholder") at the close of business on the Record Date is entitled to receive notice of, and to vote their Common Shares at, the Meeting.

A Registered Shareholder may attend and vote at the Meeting. Registered Shareholders who are unable to attend the Meeting and who wish to ensure that their Common Shares will be voted at the Meeting are requested to either:

(i) complete, sign and deliver the enclosed form of proxy c/o Proxy Department, TSX Trust Company, P.O. Box 721, Agincourt, ON M1S 0A1; or
(ii) complete, sign and email the form of proxy to [email protected]; or
(iii) complete the proxy by voting online by entering your 13-digit control number at www.meeting-vote.com; or
(iv) complete and fax the proxy to 416-595-9593.

If you are a Registered Shareholder, to ensure your vote is counted, you should complete and return the enclosed form of proxy as soon as possible even if you plan to attend the Meeting. Even if you return a form of proxy, you can still attend and vote at the Meeting, in which case you will need to instruct the scrutineer at the Meeting to cancel your proxy.

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR


DISCOVERY

In order to be valid and acted upon at the Meeting, forms of proxy must be received at the aforesaid address or voted online not less than 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) before the time set for the holding of the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. Further instructions with respect to voting by proxy are provided in the form of proxy and below.

Beneficial Shareholders

Shareholders may beneficially own Common Shares through (i) brokers, securities dealers, banks, trust companies, trustees or administrators of a self-administered registered retirement savings plan, registered retirement income fund, registered education savings plan and similar plans, or their respective agents and nominees ("Intermediaries"); or (ii) in the name of a clearing agency (such as CDS & Co., the registration name for The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited or CEDE & Co., the registration name for The Depository Trust Company) of which the Intermediary is a participant ("Beneficial Shareholders"). Beneficial Shareholders will not be recognized, nor may they make motions or vote at the Meeting, except as described below. Without specific instructions, Intermediaries are prohibited from voting Common Shares for their clients.

Additionally, there are two kinds of Beneficial Shareholders: (a) those who object to their name being made known to the issuers of securities which they own, known as Objecting Beneficial Owners ("OBOs"); and (b) those who do not object to their name being made known to the issuers of securities which they own, known as Non-Objecting Beneficial Owners ("NOBOs").

NI 54-101 requires Intermediaries to seek voting instructions from Beneficial Shareholders in advance of shareholder meetings. In accordance with the requirements of NI 54-101, the Company has distributed copies of the Notice of Meeting, this Circular and the form of proxy to the Intermediaries and clearing agencies for onward distribution to Beneficial Shareholders. Intermediaries are required to forward these materials to Beneficial Shareholders unless the Beneficial Shareholder has waived the right to receive them.

Most intermediaries delegate responsibility for obtaining voting instructions from clients to Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. ("Broadridge"). Broadridge typically mails a voting instruction form ("VIF") in lieu of a form of proxy and asks beneficial shareholders to return the voting instruction form to Broadridge by mail or otherwise communicate voting instructions to Broadridge, including by telephone or through the internet. Broadridge tabulates the results of all instructions received and provides appropriate instructions respecting the voting of Common Shares to be represented at the Meeting.

The Company may utilize Broadridge's QuickVote™ service to assist eligible beneficial shareholders who are NOBOs with voting their Common Shares over the telephone. Certain eligible NOBOs may be contacted by Laurel Hill, which is soliciting proxies on behalf of management of the Company, to conveniently obtain voting instructions directly over the telephone. Management of the Company intends to pay for Intermediaries to forward to OBOs under NI 54-101 the proxy-related materials and Form 54-101F7 – Request for Voting Instructions Made by Intermediary.

Beneficial Shareholders will be sent a VIF by their Intermediary with the Circular. This form will instruct the Intermediary as to how to vote the Common Shares at the Meeting. If you are a Beneficial Shareholder, it is vital that the VIF provided to you by your broker, Intermediary, or its agent is returned according to the instructions provided in or with such form, sufficiently in advance of the deadline specified, to ensure that they are able to provide voting instructions on your behalf.

Although a Beneficial Shareholder may not be recognized directly at the Meeting for the purposes of voting Common Shares registered in the name of their Intermediary, the Beneficial Shareholder may attend the Meeting as Proxyholder for the Intermediary and indirectly vote the Common Shares in that capacity. Beneficial Shareholders wishing to attend

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR


DISCOVERY

the Meeting and indirectly vote their Common Shares as their own Proxyholder, must enter their own names in the blank space on the VIF provided to them and return the VIF in accordance with the instructions provided on it.

If a Beneficial Shareholder receives a VIF and does not wish to attend the Meeting as a Proxyholder, the Beneficial Shareholder is encouraged to vote in advance of the proxy voting cut-off following the instructions on the VIF.

Shareholders with questions respecting the voting of Common Shares held through an Intermediary should contact that Intermediary for assistance. Shareholders may also contact Laurel Hill by calling 1-877-452-7184 (North American toll-free) or 1-416-304-0211 (collect calls outside North America), by texting "INFO" to either 1-877-452-7184 or 1-416-304-0211, or by email at [email protected].

Appointment of Proxyholders

The persons named in the accompanying form of proxy as Proxyholders are directors or officers of the Company. A Shareholder has the right to appoint a person (who need not be a Shareholder) to attend and act on the Shareholder's behalf at the Meeting other than the persons named in the form of proxy as Proxyholders. To exercise this right, the Shareholder must strike out the names of the persons named in the form of proxy as Proxyholders and insert the name of the Shareholder's nominee in the space provided or complete another form of proxy and submit the form of proxy. If you appoint and register a non-management Proxyholder, please ensure that they attend the Meeting for your vote to count.

The Common Shares represented by the form of proxy will be voted or withheld from voting in accordance with the instructions of the Shareholder on any ballot. A Shareholder completing the enclosed form of proxy may indicate the manner in which the persons named in the form of proxy are to vote with respect to any matter by marking an 'X' in the appropriate space. On any poll required or requested, those persons will vote or withhold from voting the Common Shares in respect of which they are appointed in accordance with the directions, if any, given in the form of proxy, provided such directions are certain.

If a Shareholder wishes to confer a discretionary authority with respect to any matter, then the space should be left blank. If you appoint the Company's Proxyholders and do not indicate your voting instructions, they will vote your Common Shares FOR all of the matters to be acted upon at the Meeting.

The enclosed form of proxy, when properly signed, confers discretionary authority with respect to amendments or variations to the matters identified in the Notice of Meeting. At the date of this Circular, management of the Company is not aware of any amendments or variations that are to be presented at the Meeting. If, however, any such amendments or variations should properly come before the Meeting, the proxies hereby solicited will be exercised in accordance with the best judgement of the Proxyholders.

To be valid, the form of proxy must be dated and signed by the Shareholder or the Shareholder's attorney duly authorized in writing. In the case of a corporation, the form of proxy must be dated and executed under its corporate seal or signed by a duly authorized officer of, or attorney for, the corporation.

The completed proxy, together with the power of attorney or other authority, if any, under which it was signed or a notarially certified copy thereof, must be deposited with the Transfer Agent, TSX Trust, in accordance with its instructions and before the time set out in the form of proxy. Proxies received after such time may be accepted or rejected by the Meeting Chair in the Meeting Chair's discretion. Beneficial Shareholders must deliver their completed proxies in accordance with the instructions given by the Intermediary that forwarded the form of proxy to them.

APPROVAL OF CONTINUANCE TO ONTARIO

The Company is currently a corporation organized and existing under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the "BCBCA"). Given that a majority of management of the Company and the Board is now based in Ontario, the Company wishes to continue from the Province of British Columbia to the Province of Ontario (the "Continuance") for corporate and administrative reasons. As a result of the Continuance, the Company will cease to be governed by the BCBCA and instead the Company will be governed by the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the "OBCA").

The Board and management believe it is in the best interest of the Company to complete the Continuance as a substantial amount of the operations of the Company are performed in the Province of Ontario and the Company's CEO, CFO, Chief Operating Officer ("COO"), Executive and Senior Vice Presidents, along with the majority of its management are based in the Province of Ontario. The Board believes the Continuance is administrative in nature and better aligns the Company's jurisdiction of incorporation with the location of its principal Canadian operations and senior management. The Continuance will not, by itself, result in any changes to the Company's business, assets, liabilities, management, Board composition, share capital, TSX listing or shareholder economic interest.

If the Continuance is approved by Shareholders and implemented by the Board, the Company will apply to and file all necessary documentation with the Registrar of Companies under the BCBCA for authorization to continue into the Province of Ontario. Immediately following the receipt of the Registrar's authorization, the Company will apply for a certificate of continuance and file articles of continuance under the OBCA to continue the Company into the Province of Ontario. The articles of continuance will constitute the governing instrument of the continued Company under the

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR


DISCOVERY

OBCA, and the certificate of continuance issued by the Director under the OBCA will be deemed to be the certificate of incorporation of the continued Company.

The Continuance will not result in any change in the business of the Company or its assets, liabilities or net worth, nor in the persons who constitute the Board and the Company's management. The Continuance is not a reorganization, an amalgamation or a merger.

In connection with the Continuance, the existing Articles and Notice of Articles of the Company will be repealed, and the Company will adopt articles of continuance and by-laws which are suitable for an Ontario corporation, but which in all material respects are similar to the current constating documents of the Company. The articles of continuance of the Company (the "Articles of Continuance") and the by-laws of the Company (the "By-Laws") will be substantially in the form attached as Schedule "A" and Schedule "B" to this Circular, respectively, with such technical amendments, deletions or alterations as may be considered necessary or advisable by any officer or director of the Company in order to ensure compliance with the provisions of the OBCA.

The rights of Shareholders are currently governed by the BCBCA and by the Company's Articles and Notice of Articles. Although the rights and privileges of shareholders under the OBCA are in many instances comparable to those under the BCBCA, there are several differences. A summary comparison of certain provisions of the BCBCA and the OBCA, as it pertains to the rights of the Shareholders, is attached as Schedule "C" to this Circular. This summary is not intended to be exhaustive and is qualified in its entirety by the complete text of the relevant provisions of the BCBCA and OBCA. Shareholders should consult their legal advisors regarding all of the implications of the effects of the Continuance on such Shareholders' rights. Notwithstanding the alteration of Shareholders' rights and obligations under the OBCA, the Articles of Continuance and By-laws of the Company, the Company will still be bound by the rules and policies of the stock exchange on which the Common Shares are listed from time to time as well as applicable securities legislation. Among other things, the Company's governance framework would thereafter operate with the draft Ontario constating documents attached to this Circular, including the proposed Board-size flexibility to be authorized by Shareholders and the advance notice provisions for the nomination of directors reflected in the proposed By-Laws. Shareholders should review Schedules A, B and C for the detailed text and comparison of shareholder rights.

At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if thought advisable, to pass, with or without variation, a special resolution in the form set out below (the "Continuance Resolution"), subject to such amendments, variations or additions as may be approved at the Meeting, approving the Continuance and, in connection therewith, approving the Articles of Continuance and By-Laws.

To be effective, the Continuance Resolution must be approved by not less than two-thirds of the votes cast by Shareholders present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Meeting.

The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of the Continuance Resolution. Unless authority to do so is withheld, the persons named in the enclosed form of proxy intend to vote FOR the Continuance Resolution.

The text of the Continuance Resolution to be submitted to Shareholders at the Meeting is set forth below:

"BE IT RESOLVED AS A SPECIAL RESOLUTION THAT:

  1. the continuance of the Company out of the Province of British Columbia pursuant to Section 308 of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the "BCBCA") and into the Province of Ontario under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the "OBCA") is hereby authorized and approved;
  2. the Company is hereby authorized to make an application to the Director under the OBCA for a certificate of continuance (the "Certificate of Continuance") continuing the Company as a corporation

to which the OBCA applies and in connection therewith, make an application to the Registrar of Companies (British Columbia) for authorization to apply for a certificate of continuance under the OBCA and for a certificate of discontinuance under the BCBCA;

  1. the Articles of Continuance of the Company shall be substantially in the form attached as Schedule “A” to this Circular, with such technical amendments, deletions or alterations as may be considered necessary or advisable by any officer or director of the Company in order to ensure compliance with the provisions of the OBCA, as the same may be amended, and the requirements of the Director under the OBCA;

  2. subject to the issuance of the Certificate of Continuance, the By-Laws of the Company shall be substantially in the form attached as Schedule “B” to the Circular, with such technical amendments, deletions or alterations as may be considered necessary or advisable by any officer or director of the Company in order to ensure compliance with the provisions of the OBCA;

  3. notwithstanding that this resolution has been duly passed by the shareholders of the Company, the board of directors of the Company is hereby authorized and empowered to revoke this resolution, abandon any application made in connection with the continuance and determine not to proceed with the continuance, without further confirmation, ratification or approval of the shareholders of the Company; and

  4. any director or officer of the Company is hereby authorized and empowered, acting for, in the name of and on behalf of the Company, to execute or cause to be executed, under the seal of the Company or otherwise, and to deliver or cause to be delivered any and all such documents and instruments and to do or to cause to be done all such other acts and things as, in the opinion of such director or officer, may be necessary or desirable in order to fulfil the intent of this resolution."

Shareholder’s Right of Dissent with Respect to the Continuance

The proposed Continuance gives rise to a right of dissent to Shareholders under Section 238 of the BCBCA. If the Company completes the Continuance and the right of dissent is properly exercised by any of the Shareholders entitled to do so, the Company may be required to purchase for cash the Common Shares held by the dissenting Shareholder, at the fair value of those Common Shares immediately prior to the passing of the Continuance Resolution. The procedure for exercising the right of dissent is set forth under Sections 237 to 247 of Division 2 of Part 8 of the BCBCA of the BCBCA and should be reviewed carefully by any Shareholder wishing to exercise dissent right. Division 2 of Part 8 of the BCBCA can be accessed at https://www.bclaws.gov.bc.ca/civix/document/id/complete/statreg/02057_00_multi.

The following is only a summary of the dissenting shareholder provisions of the BCBCA, which are technical and complex. The following description of the rights of Shareholders to dissent is not a comprehensive statement of the procedures and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text Division 2 of Part 8 of the BCBCA, which can be accessed at https://www.bclaws.gov.bc.ca/civix/document/id/complete/statreg/02057_00_multi. Persons who are Beneficial Shareholders should contact the registered holder of such Common Shares for assistance with exercising dissent rights. Shareholders wishing to exercise rights of dissent should seek their own legal advice since they may be prejudiced by failure to strictly comply with the applicable provisions of the BCBCA.

A Shareholder who wishes to invoke the provisions of Division 2 of Part 8 of the BCBCA must send the Company a written notice of dissent to the Continuance Resolution (the “Notice of Dissent”). The Notice of Dissent must be received by the Company by 11:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on June 18, 2026 or no later than 48 hours before the time of any adjourned or postponed Meeting (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays). A Shareholder who wishes to dissent must set out in the Notice of Dissent if the Notice of Dissent is being given in respect of Common Shares beneficially owned by: (i) the Shareholder, or (ii) other persons who beneficially own Common Shares held by the Shareholder on whose behalf the Shareholder is dissenting. Each Notice of Dissent must comply with the requirements set out in Division 2 of Part 8 of the BCBCA.

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR


DISCOVERY

The sending of a Notice of Dissent does not deprive a Shareholder of the right to vote on the Continuance Resolution at the Meeting, but a vote either in person or by proxy against the Continuance Resolution does not constitute a Notice of Dissent. A vote in favour of the Continuance Resolution will deprive the Shareholder of further rights under Division 2 of Part 8 of the BCBCA. A dissenting Shareholder, however, may vote as a proxy for a Shareholder whose proxy required an affirmative vote, without affecting his or her right to exercise dissent rights.

If the Company receives a Notice of Dissent and intends to or has acted on the authority of the Continuance Resolution, the Company will promptly send a notice (the "Notice of Intention to Proceed") to the dissenting Shareholder. To complete the dissent, the dissenting Shareholder must send the specified statements, as applicable, and the share certificates representing the subject Common Shares the ("Notice Shares") in accordance with Section 244 of the BCBCA within one month of the date of the Notice of Intention to Proceed, following which the dissenting Shareholder may not vote, or exercise or assert any rights of a shareholder in respect of the Notice Shares, except as otherwise provided by the BCBCA. The Company and the dissenting Shareholder may agree on the payout value of the Notice Shares or, if no agreement is made, either the Company or the dissenting Shareholder may make an application to the Supreme Court of British Columbia (the "Court") to fix the payout value of the Notice Shares. In connection with the application, the Court may join in the application each dissenting Shareholder who has not agreed with the Company on the amount of the payout value of the Notice Shares and make consequential orders and give directions as it considers appropriate.

A dissenting Shareholder who properly exercises the dissent rights by strictly complying with all of the procedures required to be complied with by a dissenting Shareholder (the "Dissent Provisions"), will cease to have any rights as a Shareholder other than the right to be paid the fair value of the Common Shares by the Company in accordance with the Dissent Provisions. However, if a dissenting Shareholder seeks to exercise the dissent rights under the BCBCA but does not properly comply with each of the Dissent Provisions required to be complied with by a dissenting Shareholder that Shareholder loses the right to dissent.

A dissenting Shareholder may, with the written consent of the Company, at any time prior to the payment to the dissenting Shareholder of the full amount of money to which the dissenting Shareholder is entitled, abandon such dissenting Shareholder's dissent to the Continuance by giving written notice to the Company, withdrawing the Notice of Dissent not later than 1:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on June 18, 2026 or no later than 48 hours before the time of any adjourned or postponed Meeting (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays).

Shareholders who intend to exercise Dissent Rights should seek legal advice and carefully consider and comply with the provisions of the Dissent Rights. Failure to comply with the applicable Dissent Procedures may result in the loss of the Dissent Rights in respect of the Continuance Resolution.

APPROVAL OF NAME CHANGE

Following the acquisition of the Porcupine Complex which was completed on April 15, 2025 (the "Porcupine Acquisition"), the Company became a diversified North America mining company, combining Porcupine Complex's growing gold production in a highly prolific gold camp in Northern Ontario, Canada, with the Company's Cordero project in Mexico, one of the world's largest silver development projects. As a result, reference exclusively to silver in the Company's name is no longer appropriate and the Company has determined that it would be appropriate to change the Company's name from "Discovery Silver Corp." to "Discovery Mining Ltd.", or such other name as the Board, in its sole discretion, may approve, subject to approval by the applicable regulatory authorities, to be more descriptive and fitting to the business being carried on by the Company (the "Name Change").

Following completion of the Name Change, the Company will continue trading under the stock symbol "DSV" on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX"). The change will not affect the validity of currently outstanding share certificates of the Company, and shareholders will not be required to surrender or exchange any existing share certificates that they hold. After the effective date of the Name Change, shareholders may exchange their share certificates with TSX Trust.

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR


DISCOVERY

Following completion of the Name Change, existing share certificates reflecting the prior name “Discovery Silver Corp.” will continue to be a valid share certificate, until such certificate is transferred, re-registered or otherwise exchanged. The Name Change will not, by itself, affect any of the rights of the Shareholders.

Completion of the Name Change is subject to and conditional upon completion of the Continuance. In the event that Shareholders approve the Name Change Resolution at the Meeting, and provided that the Continuance Resolution is also approved, the Continuance and Name Change will be implemented together and is reflected in the draft Articles of Continuance and By-Laws attached as Schedule “A” and Schedule “B”, respectively, to this Circular.

At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if thought advisable, to pass, with or without variation, a special resolution in the form set out below (the “Name Change Resolution”), subject to such amendments, variations or additions as may be approved at the Meeting, approving the Name Change.

To be effective, the Name Change Resolution must be approved by not less than two-thirds of the votes cast by Shareholders present virtually or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Meeting.

The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of the Name Change Resolution. Unless authority to do so is withheld, the persons named in the enclosed form of proxy intend to vote FOR the Name Change Resolution.

The text of the Name Change Resolution to be submitted to Shareholders at the Meeting is set forth below:

“BE IT RESOLVED AS A SPECIAL RESOLUTION THAT:

  1. the name of Discovery Silver Corp. (the “Company”) is authorized to be changed from “Discovery Silver Corp.” to “Discovery Mining Ltd.”, or to such other name that the board of directors of the Company, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate, as may be approved by the regulatory or other governmental authorities (including the Toronto Stock Exchange), and that the Articles of the Company be amended to reflect the name change of the Company;

  2. notwithstanding that this resolution has been duly passed by the shareholders of the Company, the board of directors of the Company is hereby authorized and empowered to revoke this resolution, abandon any application made in connection with the name change and determine not to proceed with the name change, without further confirmation, ratification or approval of the shareholders of the Company; and

  3. any director or officer of the Company is hereby authorized and empowered, acting for, in the name of and on behalf of the Company, to execute or cause to be executed, under the seal of the Company or otherwise, and to deliver or cause to be delivered any and all such documents and instruments and to do or to cause to be done all such other acts and things as, in the opinion of such director or officer, may be necessary or desirable in order to fulfil the intent of this resolution.”

APPROVAL OF BOARD SIZE RESOLUTION

Subject to, and conditional on, completion of the Continuance, management of the Company is of the view that from a corporate governance perspective, and with a desire to maximize the effectiveness and efficiency of the Board, the directors of the Company should have the discretion to set the size of the Board within the minimum and maximum number provided for in the Company’s articles, subject to the limits described in the OBCA. From time to time, the Board may identify an individual who could make a valuable contribution to the Company as a director. It will be beneficial for the Company if the Board possesses the ability to appoint such an individual as a director between Shareholder meetings without a vacant position needing to first arise as it will provide the Board with the appropriate expediency with which to enhance its composition if the opportunity arises.

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR


DISCOVERY

Section 125(3) of the OBCA allows the directors of a corporation, if authorized by special resolution, to determine the number of directors on the Board if the articles provide for a minimum and maximum number. Once the special resolution in Section 125(3) is adopted by Shareholders, pursuant to Section 124(2) of the OBCA, the Board will have the ability to appoint one or more additional directors between annual meetings of Shareholders, who will hold office for a term expiring not later than the close of the next annual meeting of Shareholders. Section 124(2) of the OBCA further stipulates that the total number of directors that may be appointed between annual meetings of Shareholders may not exceed one-third of the number of directors elected at the previous annual meeting of Shareholders.

At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if thought advisable, to pass, with or without variation, a special resolution, in the form set out below (the "Board Size Resolution"), subject to such amendments, variations or additions as may be approved at the Meeting, authorizing the directors of the Company to determine the size of the Board from time to time in accordance with subsection 125(3) and 124(2) of the OBCA.

To be effective, the Board Size Resolution must be approved by not less than two-thirds of the votes cast by Shareholders present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Meeting.

The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of the Board Size Resolution. Unless authority to do so is withheld, the persons named in the enclosed form of proxy intend to vote FOR the Board Size Resolution.

The text of the Board Size Resolution to be submitted to Shareholders at the Meeting is set forth below:

"BE IT RESOLVED AS A SPECIAL RESOLUTION THAT:

  1. the directors of the Company are hereby empowered to determine the number of directors of the Company from time to time, within the minimum and maximum set out in the Company's articles, by a resolution of the directors, subject to the limitations set out in the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the "OBCA"); and
  2. any director or officer of the Company is hereby authorized and empowered, acting for, in the name of and on behalf of the Company, to execute or cause to be executed, under the seal of the Company or otherwise, and to deliver or cause to be delivered any and all such documents and instruments and to do or to cause to be done all such other acts and things as, in the opinion of such director or officer, may be necessary or desirable in order to fulfil the intent of this resolution."

REPORT ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRACTICES

The Company and the Board recognize the importance of corporate governance for the effective management of the Company and for the protection of its stakeholders, particularly Shareholders. The Company's approach to issues of corporate governance is designed with a view to ensuring that the business and affairs of the Company are effectively managed so as to enhance Shareholder value. The Board fulfills its mandate directly and through its committees at regularly scheduled meetings or as otherwise may be required. The directors are kept informed regarding the Company's operations at regular meetings and through reports and discussions with management on matters within their particular areas of expertise. The frequency of meetings may be increased, and the nature of the agenda items may be changed depending upon the state of the Company's affairs and in light of opportunities or risks that the Company faces.

The Company believes that its corporate governance practices are in compliance with applicable Canadian guidelines including National Policy 58-201 – Corporate Governance Guidelines. The Company has considered the applicable requirements and believes that its approach is appropriate and works effectively for the Company and its Shareholders. The Company continues to monitor developments in Canada and will revise its governance policies and practices, as appropriate. In support of good governance practices, the Board ensures the following procedures and policies are maintained and upheld, including but not limited to: (i) majority independent Board; (ii) an independent Lead Director;

The following is a description of the Company's corporate governance practices, which has been prepared by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and has been approved by the Board.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The Board is currently comprised of seven directors, six of whom are "independent" directors in accordance with National Instrument 52-110 – Audit Committees. Ms. Hibbard is a Nominee for election at the Meeting and is not currently a director of the Company. As Mr. Parr will not be standing for re-election at the Meeting, with the election of Ms. Hibbard, it is intended that six directors shall be elected for the ensuing year, of which five are deemed to be independent. Mr. Makuch, the President and CEO of the Company, is not considered independent by virtue of being a member of the Company's management. See "Election of Directors" above.

The Board discharges its responsibility to supervise the management of the business and affairs of the Company by delegating the day-to-day management of the Company to the executive officers. The Board oversees the Company's systems of corporate governance, financial reporting and internal controls directly and indirectly through its committees, to ensure that the Company reports adequate and fair information to Shareholders while adhering to the Company's Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. The Board has adopted a formal mandate setting out the roles and responsibilities of the Board, a copy of which is attached as Schedule "D" to this Circular. The Board has developed written position descriptions for the Chairman, the CEO, the Lead Director and each chair of each Board committee.

Independence

To facilitate the functioning of the Board independently of management, the following structures and processes are in place and followed with respect to approvals and organization of Board and Committee Meetings:

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR


DISCOVERY

If a matter for the Board’s consideration involves a non-independent director, that director is required to recuse him or herself from the meeting for the consideration of such matter so that the directors who are not so involved can have an open and candid discussion and vote.

Each of the Audit Committee, Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Compensation Committee are comprised solely of independent directors.

The President and CEO’s compensation is considered, in his absence, by the Compensation Committee and the Board at least once a year.

In addition to the standing committees of the Board, independent ad-hoc committees may be appointed from time to time, when appropriate.

The Board’s policy is to hold “in camera” meetings with the independent directors at the conclusion of each Board or committee meeting.

The majority of the Board is independent. The Board has a Lead Director to provide independent leadership to the independent directors.

The Board has adopted formal position descriptions for the Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, Lead Director and the Chair roles for each of the committees of the Board.

Director Conflict of Interest

In addition to the corporate governance policies set out above, the Board requires all directors to comply with the conflict of interest provisions of governing corporate legislation and relevant securities legislation, regulatory instruments and TSX policies which require that interested directors disclose any conflict of interest and recuse themselves from the consideration of, and voting on, matters which require directors to exercise independent judgement when consideration transactions and agreements in respect of which any director has any interest.

Role of the Chairman

On May 13, 2026, the Board approved the appointment of Mr. Makuch as the non-independent Chair of the Board. Given Mr. Makuch’s significant investment in the Company and his integral role in the stewardship and strategic development of the Company, it was deemed appropriate that he should be appointed Chair in order to provide his leadership to the Board. The Chairman is responsible for the following duties, among others:

BOARD SKILLS MATRIX

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee maintains a skills matrix designed to assist the Board in evaluating the experience, expertise, and competencies that each current director possesses, as well as the overall diversity of the Board. The skills matrix is reviewed by both the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Board annually. By design, each individual director contributes to the overall depth and breadth of experience on the Board. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has developed the skills matrix based on consultation and agreement on each director’s primary strengths and key areas of expertise. The competencies and skills identified in the matrix are those considered necessary for the robust oversight of the Company giving consideration to the overall short, medium and long-term strategic objectives of the Company. The skills matrix not only assesses current Board composition but may assist in recruiting new directors in the future.

BOARD DIVERSITY

The Board and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee believe that diversity and inclusion provide essential perspectives that enhance Board effectiveness and Company performance. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee regularly reviews the composition of the Board and, when applicable, considers qualified candidates who are best able to meet the skills matrix developed for the Board. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee takes into consideration the overall knowledge, experience, skills, expertise and diversity of the Board as a whole.

The Company has adopted a comprehensive Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Policy that recognizes gender, racial, ethnic, and other forms of diversity as significant aspects of an inclusive organization. In accordance with this policy, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee actively considers diversity criteria when evaluating Board composition and reviewing candidates for Board and executive positions. This approach ensures that the most qualified candidates are selected to fulfill vacancies on the Board and executive offices while advancing diversity objectives. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee regularly reviews progress against these objectives as part of its oversight responsibilities. The Company is committed to continuing to increase diverse representation at all levels of the organization and reports annually on its progress. The Board shall strive to attain a minimum representation of 30% women directors, within one year from the date of the Meeting and shall aim to attract an ethnically diverse director.

The Board has integrated diversity considerations into its succession planning processes for both Board and executive officer positions. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee regularly reviews the Board's succession plan to ensure that diversity objectives are considered when planning for potential vacancies and director retirements. When evaluating candidates for Board and executive positions, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee considers individual merit and qualifications relevant to the specific role, while also taking into account the Company's diversity objectives. The final recommendation for nomination or appointment is based on identifying candidates who bring the optimal combination of skills, experience, and diverse perspectives to enhance the Board's overall effectiveness.

The Board is currently comprised of seven directors, one of whom is a woman, comprising 14% of the Board. The Company is committed to continuing to increase diverse representation at all levels of the organization. In order to promote and increase gender diversity on the Board, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Board previously adopted a target of 30% female directors, which was achieved in 2024. Following the resignation of Ms. Wagner as a director to assume a managerial role in 2025, the Board was reduced from 7 to 6 directors, one of

whom was a woman. As Mr. Parr and Ms. Smith are not standing for re-election, and Ms. Hibbard is standing for election at the Meeting, assuming all Nominees are elected at the Meeting, the Board will be comprised of six directors, one of which is a woman, such that female directors will represent 16.7% of the Board at the close of the Meeting. In order to support the Board in its efforts to increase the level of female representation on the Board following the Meeting, the Board will continue to encourage practices that: (i) require any search for nominees to the Board to specifically include diverse candidates generally, and female candidates in particular; and (ii) the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Board will periodically review progress on achieving targets, as applicable. Given the transitionary year of the Company following the Porcupine Acquisition, and with the announcement of the acquisition of the Kidd Operations, the Board continues to refresh its evergreen list with respect to potential directors who possess the necessary skills relevant for a mid-tier precious and critical minerals producer with multiple operations in North America. As a result, the Board aims to increase diverse representation on the Board in 2026, in keeping with the additional skills sets required by the Company.

BOARD ASSESSMENTS

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for assessing, monitoring, and improving the performance of the Board, its committees and directors. Evaluations and assessments are a continuous process designed to evaluate performance against the formal mandates of the Board, committees of the Board, the Board Chair, the CEO and other criteria. A range of dimensions are considered, such as overall performance of the Board, Board and committee structure and composition, management development, strategic planning, risk management, operational performance, CEO performance evaluation, Board membership, director competencies, Board processes and director involvement. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee engages the Board annually in a formal assessment procedure which includes the distribution of a questionnaire to each member of the Board to assess the overall performance of the Board. In addition, each Board Committee conducts a self-evaluation using a questionnaire format, and director self and peer performance reviews are conducted concurrently with an annual review of the Board skills matrix which involves each director assessing him or herself as well as his or her peers against set criteria. The Board Chair reviews the results of the peer assessments with each director individually.

BOARD CONTINUING EDUCATION

The Board considers director continuing education to be a priority for all directors and promotes opportunities to learn, develop and network. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for establishing the continuing education of directors. Components of the Board's continuing education program include:

  1. External advisors attend Board meetings to provide the Board with information and updates on a variety of topics including political and geopolitical risks, environmental and social issues and current industry trends.
  2. Regular updates on the Company's business and issues relevant to the Company are provided to directors by senior managers at all Board meetings and at meetings of the Board's committees.
  3. Board members conduct extensive visits to both the Porcupine Complex and the Cordero Project, where they are provided with tours of the operations and receive presentations from the local management teams with respect to health and safety, technical and operational priorities, people, and culture at the Company's properties.
  4. All directors are provided with an annual corporate membership to the Institute of Corporate Directors which includes access to continuing education courses such as webinars, short courses, and seminars. Currently, three directors have obtained their official ICD.D designations.

The Board encourages and promotes a culture of ethical business conduct through its actions and its support and interaction with management and employees of the Company. To promote a governance culture within the Company, the Board has adopted and approved corporate policies as discussed below. Further, in March 2026, the Board adopted a Supplier Code of Conduct and Ethics with respect to its business dealings with third party suppliers in furtherance of its commitment to ethical business practices.

Advance Notice Policy

The purpose of the Advance Notice Policy as adopted by the Board is to provide Shareholders, directors, and management of the Company with a clear framework for nominating directors of the Company. The Advance Notice Policy fixes a deadline by which director nominations must be submitted to the Company prior to any annual or special meeting of Shareholders and sets forth the information that must be included in the notice to the Company for the notice to be in proper written form in order for any director nominee to be eligible for election at any annual or special meeting of Shareholders.

ENVIRONMENT AND CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

The Company understands that mining in an environmentally and socially responsible way is essential to its operating and financial success. For Discovery, that means providing a safe working environment while implementing responsible practices and effective management systems throughout the organization to continually improve its performance. The Company believes that if it creates meaningful opportunities for local employment and training, develop community relationships based on open and honest communication, and ensure that the communities in which the Company operates benefit from its presence, its operating and financial success will be maximized.

As set out in the Company's sustainability report for the year ended December 31, 2024, which is available on the Company's website at www.discoverysilver.com, the Company made significant progress advancing and advocating its efforts focused on Environment, Social and Governance ("ESG") and sustainability related initiatives and investments with respect to its Cordero Project.

The Company's approach to social and environmental policies is guided by both the legal guidelines in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates, as well a combination of Company-specific policies and standards with a commitment to best practice management. The Company strives to uphold stakeholder expectations for the Company to act ethically and responsibly from exploration through to mine closure, and to be transparent and accountable for its conduct. Operating its mines responsibly and following good governance practices not only provides benefits for Discovery but also for the local communities and the broader provinces, states, territories and nations in which the Company operates. Responsible mining increases prosperity for all stakeholders, including governments, investors, employees, supply chain partners, communities and contractors – it provides jobs and builds skills and, through partnerships with governments and other actors, it facilitates investment in infrastructure and public services. Understanding that the Company's operations have these direct, indirect, and induced benefits, the Company pays careful attention to the value of local suppliers. In addition, the Company appreciates the benefits resulting from sponsorships and donations to various local charitable and not-for-profit organizations in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates.

STRATEGIC OVERSIGHT

The Board is actively involved in the strategy of the Company. Throughout the year, the Board provides oversight of a variety of strategic plans. In particular, the Board reviews all strategic initiatives with the CEO and the senior management team during its regularly scheduled Board meetings held at least five times per year. In addition, where required, the Board meets informally and separately from its regularly scheduled Board meetings to review various strategic initiatives as they arise, including any growth and acquisition strategies, review of the Company's current business plan with respect to its current operations and the risks and opportunities associated with such strategies. In December of each year the Board meets to review and approve the annual capital and operating budgets that support the Company's ability to meet its strategic objectives.

The Board and the CEO, supported by the senior management team, is responsible for the strategic development of the business. In 2025, the Company focused on successful integration of the Porcupine Complex and advancing permitting efforts at the Cordero Project, and reviewed with the Board both medium and long-term strategies on a variety of transactions to increase value while promoting a culture of operational excellence.

RISK OVERSIGHT AND ASSESSMENT

In support of the Company's strategic initiatives, the Board also oversees the Company's approach to risk management which is designed to improve long-term performance and enhance shareholder value. Fundamental to risk management is the understanding of the inherent risks facing the Company, what steps are being taken to mitigate such risks and what level of risk is appropriate for the Company taking into consideration its specific corporate and operational frameworks. Through its oversight and involvement in the strategic planning of the business, the Board is involved in

CEO 3 times annual base salary
C-Suite and Senior Management (EVPs, SVPs and VPs) 2 times annual base salary
Non-employee Directors 3 times annual base retainer

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR


DISCOVERY

The minimum ownership levels required pursuant to the Share Ownership Policy are expected to be satisfied by each Participant within five years after first becoming subject to these ownership requirements or after being appointed to any one of the positions subject to the Share Ownership Policy. In the event of an increase in a Participant's base salary or annual retainer, he or she will have five years from the time of the increase to acquire any additional equity as may be required to obtain the minimum ownership requirements under the Share Ownership Policy. Once the Participant's level of equity ownership satisfies the applicable minimum ownership requirements, Participants are expected to maintain such minimum ownership levels for as long as the Participant is subject to the Share Ownership Policy. The following securities may be included in determining the Share ownership of each Participant:

  • Common Shares owned directly (including through open market purchases or acquired and held upon vesting of Company equity awards).
  • Common Shares owned jointly with or held separately by the Participant's spouse.
  • Common Shares held by any minor children ("Minor Children") that share the same home as the Participant.
  • Common Shares held in trust for the benefit of the Participant, the Participant's spouse and/or Minor Children.
  • Common Shares held in any trust in which the Participant and/or the Participant's spouse is a trustee with voting and investment power.
  • Common Shares owned by any private corporate entity which is at least 50% owned by any combination of the foregoing.
  • RSUs and DSUs (each as defined below) held by the Participant, whether vested or not vested. PSUs held by the executive Participants are not included in determining Share ownership.

Based on the current Share Ownership Policy, each of the directors and officers of the Company are either on track to meet these minimum requirements within five years from the date of adoption or date of appointment, or have already achieved compliance in advance of the required deadline, as further set out below.

The following table shows the value of the holdings of each director and NEO (as defined below) as of December 31, 2025, calculated against each individuals retainer fees or salary paid in 2025 to determine whether they have met or are on track to meet the requirements set out in the Share Ownership Policy.

Members of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee review the qualifications of potential director candidates, where applicable, and conduct interviews with such candidates, following which the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee makes recommendations to the Board with respect to such candidates.

The Company has not adopted term limits for the directors on its Board. While director term limits can assist with board refreshment, there may be circumstances where the Board may not want to lose deeper knowledge of the business and the skills and experience of being a longer-serving director. The Company believes that with the combination of annual director elections and the monitoring of performance the Company achieves the appropriate level of Board turnover. Further, the Company assesses the skillsets of the various members of the Board and the overall Board annually and seeks to consider and where appropriate appoint, appoints new Board members where there are any key gaps in such skillsets and/or where it is necessary to consider additional Board members for succession planning purposes.

MAJORITY VOTING POLICY

The Board has adopted a majority voting policy which requires that, in an uncontested election of directors, any nominee who receives a greater number of "withheld" votes than "for" votes must tender their resignation to the Chair of the Board promptly following the relevant meeting. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee will consider the proposed resignation in light of all relevant circumstances and make a recommendation to the Board. The Board will determine whether to accept or reject any such resignation within 90 days following such meeting and press release its decision immediately and absent exceptional circumstances, will accept the resignation. The resignation will be effective when accepted by the Board. A director who tenders a resignation pursuant to this policy will not participate in any meeting of the Board or the Nominating and Corporate Governance at which the resignation is considered. If the Board determines not to accept a resignation, the news release will fully state the reasons for that decision and a copy of such news release will be provided to the TSX. A copy of this policy can be found on the Company's website at www.discoverysilver.com.

At the annual meeting of Shareholders of the Company held on June 25, 2025 (the "2025 AGM"), each director nominee was elected with the following approvals set out below.

PHILOSOPHY AND APPROACH

The Company compensates its directors and executives in a competitive and balanced manner based on performance. Corporate performance is the most significant factor in determining executive compensation. The Company's compensation principles are:

Executive Compensation Framework

Long Term Strategy

We use a multi-year long term strategic plan to simultaneously balance risk and incentivize

Long term equity incentives with three-year vesting for RSUs and three-year cliff vesting for PSUs which form a significant portion of annual compensation

Performance

Compensation is directly tied to overall Company performance

We use total shareholder return as a metric in both short term bonus and long term equity awards to align with shareholder interests

Value

The key components of executive compensation are structured to align with over all multi-year company performance which focuses on value creation

Market and benchmarking analysis in line with peers to ensure proper mix of governance and retention strategies

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

The Company's primary objective is building a sustainable mining company that is recognized as safe and responsible while maximizing profitable operations to increase Shareholder value. To succeed in this, it is imperative that competitive compensation packages be provided to executive management to ensure that executives are appropriately retained and engaged to effectively manage, operate and implement the long-term growth strategy of the Company.

The Company's compensation philosophy looks to align compensation with performance, taking into account the Company's overall financial position, which ultimately aligns with the interests of Shareholders. The goal is to motivate employees to achieve higher levels of performance which will serve to provide greater value to Shareholders.

The Company balances its executive compensation program with rewards for the attainment of corporate and operational measures and risk management that are within the executive's ability to influence. Each year, the Board, upon recommendation from the Compensation Committee, adopts a scorecard that sets out the key performance indicators ("KPIs") to guide and motivate the senior executive team in realizing the Company's corporate strategy for the following year. At the end of each year, with the input of the CEO, the Compensation Committee reviews the corporate performance against each indicator and recommends to the Board the specific weighting and performance score for each category of KPIs. Various corporate, divisional, and departmental objectives are set for the following year in order to ensure that the Company's objectives are aligned with the key long-term priorities for the future success of

DISCOVERY

the Company. Following the Porcupine Acquisition in April 2025, an updated scorecard was approved by the Compensation Committee and the Board in order to ensure proper alignment with the new operational, financial, environmental and corporate goals of the Company for 2025.

The executive compensation program of the Company places a significant emphasis on at-risk compensation. This is achieved in the form of performance-based, short-term cash incentives ("STIs"), as well as long-term incentives ("LTIs") based on a three-year vesting schedule for RSUs and a three-year cliff vesting schedule for PSUs. This compensation strategy illustrates the Company's strong focus on pay-for-performance over the long term. Compensation programs will continue to emphasize "pay-for-performance", with each individual's short- and long-term compensation and career advancement being dependent on both Company performance and individual performance, with the objective of increasing long-term Shareholder value. See "Mix of Pay" set out further in this Circular for the details with respect to at-risk pay for the NEOs. If the Company or the individual does not meet its objectives, awards will be adjusted in accordance with pre-established processes or as otherwise determined at the discretion of the Board, on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee.

What we DO: What we DON'T DO:
- Pay-for-Performance – 80% of the CEO’s pay is at-risk which is variable, not guaranteed and contingent on overall Company performance
- Performance Based Vesting – 100% of LTI awards are based on 3 Year vesting and/or 3-year cliff vesting
- Cap Payouts – STI payouts are capped at a maximum of 150% of target for executive officers and 200% of target for the CEO
- Realizable Pay – compensation ultimately paid from LTI awards can vary significantly from date of grant. Total shareholder return forms a central component in payout value of LTI awards
- Double Trigger – severance provisions in employment agreements and LTI plans have double triggers in the event of a change of control
- Minimum Equity Ownership – both the Board and the senior executive team are subject to minimum equity ownership guidelines
- Executive Compensation Claw Back Policy – reimbursement or claw back on executive bonuses and equity compensation in certain circumstances
- Anti-Hedging Policy for Directors and Officers – restrictions on purchase of any financial instrument by directors or officers that may hedge or offset a decrease in the market value of the Company’s securities - Provide Guarantees – executive compensation is not guaranteed and is based on performance. There are no minimum payouts on the STIs or LTIs and could result in a zero payout if performance not achieved
- Issue Options – since 2021, the Company has not granted any Options (as defined below)
- Excessive Severance – the Company does not enter into employment agreements with severance exceeding two years in the event of a change of control
- Provide Loans – the Company does not provide loans to directors or executives

The Compensation Committee takes into consideration the current stage of the Company and the individual knowledge and expertise required with respect to development and long-term growth strategy of the Company when considering new hires and the importance of special one-time awards in acquiring such talent. The Board then reviews this information, along with the Compensation Committee recommendations in making their ultimate decisions regarding executive base compensation, short-term non-equity incentives and long-term equity-based incentives.

Benchmarking

The market for executive talent is very competitive. As a result, the Compensation Committee believes it is appropriate to establish compensation levels that consider benchmarking against similar companies to gauge whether the Company's compensation package is both reasonable and competitive. Among other factors, market data is an integral reference point to which the Compensation Committee compares the compensation of each executive in order to review compensation that aligns with market performance and experience levels, in order to make appropriate compensation recommendations to the Board.

The Company reviews its peer group annually to ensure that its compensation practices are in keeping with good governance standards and are appropriate relative to its size and its competitors.

2025 and 2026 Peer Group

The Compensation Committee has worked with independent third party consultants to develop and maintain an appropriate peer group that is comprised of relevant companies for comparison purposes (the "Peer Group"). In April 2025, following the completion of the Porcupine Acquisition, the Compensation Committee updated the Peer Group to reflect companies that were similar in size, scope, operations, revenue, market capitalization and enterprise value as set out below.

Factors Selection Criteria
Industry Companies with active mining operations with an emphasis on gold and silver miners
Size Market capitalization and enterprise value generally within one-third to three times that of Discovery
Complexity The complexity and stage of the company, from advanced exploration to producer
Corporate Structure Publicly traded on the TSX, or NYSE or both
Location Headquartered in North America with various operations

Using the selection criteria above, the 2025 Peer Group, as set out below, was formally approved and was used to determine the 2025 executive total direct compensation for the executives and the compensation of the Board.

2025 PEER GROUP
Artemis Gold Inc. Calibre Mining Corp. Capstone Copper Corp. Coeur Mining, Inc.
Eldorado Gold Corporation Equinox Gold Corp. First Majestic Silver Corp. Hecla Mining Company
IAMGold Corporation MAG Silver Corp. OceanaGold Corporation Orla Mining Ltd.
SSR Mining Inc. Torex Gold Resources Inc.

The composition of the Peer Group is regularly reviewed to determine if any changes are required. Given the exceptional performance of the Company in 2025, the Company engaged Bedford Consulting Inc. ("Bedford") to provide advice on the competitiveness of the Company's compensation programs for both the executive officers and the Board for 2026. As a result, the Compensation Committee reviewed the 2025 Peer Group set out above and determined that taking into consideration the increase in revenue, production, complexity and market capitalizations of the Company, certain amendments to the Peer Group should be made. Based on its review with Bedford, it was determined that the Peer Group should be modified and a new 2026 Peer Group was approved by the Compensation Committee and Board, as set out below. The new 2026 Peer Group was used to determine 2026 executive total direct compensation, including any changes in base salaries and the appropriate compensation of the Board in 2026. The Company was ranked below the $50^{\text{th}}$ percentile of the 2026 Peer Group at the time.

Measuring Success

In reviewing the performance of the senior management team, the Compensation Committee considers the overall performance of the Company for the relevant period in conjunction with the individual’s performance to ensure resulting compensation is appropriately matched. In 2025, following the completion of the Porcupine Acquisition, an updated KPI scorecard was approved by the Compensation Committee, and an individual scorecard was completed for each NEO.

The Compensation Committee is supported by the executive officers of the Company, who provide the data and analysis to support compensation decision making. In formalizing its approval of base salaries, benefits, annual bonuses and long-term incentive plans, the Compensation Committee takes into consideration the recommendations of management, and where applicable, the recommendations of the CEO. In addition, the Compensation Committee may retain external independent governance and compensation consultants to ensure that the compensation strategies of the Company align with best governance practices. The Compensation Committee will take into consideration data and analyses which have been reviewed and recommended by such consultants.

Individual Performance

In considering remuneration for executives other than the CEO, the CEO determines executive compensation within the executive compensation philosophy framework of the Company and makes his recommendations to the Compensation Committee. Every year, the CEO assesses the individual performance of each member of the senior executive team using the annual corporate and individual performance objectives as targets. The CEO considers each executive's overall influence and leadership skills and their ability to realize individual pre-set goals.

The Compensation Committee will meet with the CEO annually to discuss and review in detail the compensation of each member of the senior executive team. The Compensation Committee makes recommendations to the Board with respect to CEO compensation and, taking into consideration the recommendations of the CEO and the overall compensation strategy of the Company, including the STIs for the year, the LTIs to be granted for the following year and any proposed salary increases for the ensuing year. In addition, the Compensation Committee will review and approve both the Company and individual KPIs for the ensuing year, which are then recommended for approval by the Board. Prior year results are approved while KPIs for the ensuing year are set to ensure targets are continuously adjusted, where applicable. This serves to further incentivize executives while simultaneously aligning Shareholder interests with the Company's compensation philosophy. To promote transparency within the organization, the KPIs set for each member of the senior executive team are distributed to all executives.

The Compensation Committee makes all decisions regarding the CEO's compensation in camera, without the presence of management. Following its deliberations, the Compensation Committee then makes its compensation recommendations to the independent members of the Board, where the compensation of the CEO is approved during an in-camera meeting.

Individual performance is assessed based on the individual KPIs which have been set and approved by the Compensation Committee at the end of the prior year. Individuals are assessed based on the achievement of such pre-set goals, taking into consideration additional factors, including tenure, experience and prior compensation. This serves to foster a

culture of objective assessment of performance and provides the Compensation Committee with the discretion to adjust compensation to reflect unsatisfactory, average and exceptional performance.

Linking Pay-for-Performance

Following the assessment of both overall Company and individual performance, the Compensation Committee will meet with senior executives within the Human Resources Department of the Company to consider available market data with respect to the Peer Group. In addition, the Company and the Compensation Committee may retain independent external advisors to conduct a review of the Company's pay practices. See "Compensation Discussion and Analysis — Benchmarking" set out above.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company engaged an independent consultant, Bedford, to review the market competitiveness of the Company's executive compensation programs and pay practices in comparison to the Company's 2025 Peer Group. The report prepared by Bedford for the Compensation Committee assessed the competitiveness of the Company's executive compensation program and provided information on the 2025 Peer Group's pay mix, including base salary, short-term and long-term incentives. Where possible, the Bedford analysis matched each executive within the Company to positions of similar responsibilities. The Compensation Committee reviewed the Bedford analysis and considered the appropriate level of at-risk pay.

In addition, the Company further strengthened its cash-based short-term incentive plan for 2025 following the completion of the Porcupine Acquisition by greatly expanding its additional operational and departmental target weightings to enhance overall performance metrics as set out under the heading "Executive Compensation — Short-Term Incentives" below.

In furtherance of best corporate governance practices, in 2025, it was determined that no Options would be granted and the Board, based on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, approved certain amendments to the LTI Plan (as defined below) and the DSU Plan (as defined below) which were approved by Shareholders at the 2025 AGM. In particular, the Company amended the LTI Plan to allow for the issuance of PSUs which vest on a three-year cliff vesting period. PSUs directly link Executive compensation to long-term measurable performance and align Executive compensation with Shareholder interests.

Following the review completed by Bedford in 2025, subsequent to the completion of the Porcupine Acquisition, the Company strengthened its focus on pay for performance by adjusting its compensation strategy to increase the percentage of long-term incentive grants for executives of the Company as a percentage of base salary. This was done to further align the Company's pay program with the pay practices of its 2025 Peer Group and to ensure a greater percentage of compensation was "at-risk". See "Mix of Pay" set out below in this Circular.

When making compensation recommendations for NEOs to the Board, the Compensation Committee considers factors beyond market data, including input from management and external corporate governance consultants, as applicable. The Compensation Committee also considers various factors which result in a holistic approach to compensation recommendations, as set out below. There is no mandatory framework that determines which of these additional factors may be more or less important, and the emphasis placed on any of these additional factors may vary among the Compensation Committee members.

Compensation Survey and Compensation Consulting Fees

In addition to annual surveys of companies within the Peer Group noted above, the Company relies on surveys prepared by independent consultants to ensure that the Company's compensation program provides competitive compensation opportunities for its executive officers while satisfying its compensation philosophy and objectives. During 2025, the

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR

Compensation Committee engaged Bedford to review the Company's pay program with respect to executive officer and director compensation.

The aggregate fees paid to human resources consultants or advisors for consulting services related to determining compensation for any of the Company's executive officers and non-executive directors for the year ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, are as follows:

Elements of Executive Compensation

The Company's current executive compensation program contains four basic elements, as described in more detail below:

Element of Compensation Purpose Element “At-Risk” or “Fixed” Form Performance Period
Base Salary Fixed salaries that are designed to be competitive with compensation offered by similar companies and those within the Peer Group. This element of compensation provides the basis to determine other elements of compensatory benefits. Fixed Cash N/A
Short Term Incentives Annual short-term incentives are tied to performance and are paid at the discretion of the Compensation Committee and the Board, based on a number of factors, including corporate, health and safety, financial and operating performance of the Company as well as individual performance within a one-year time horizon. Each executive has a target annual bonus (% of salary) and a payout range of either; 0% to a maximum of 150%, 0% to a maximum payout of 200% of target for EVPs and C-Suite Executives. Payouts are determined on the basis of a combination of individual performance, departmental or divisional performance and corporate performance. At-Risk Cash One Year

NEOs are generally eligible for a group health benefit program on the same basis as other Company employees. In addition, executive officers are entitled to annual health assessments. N/A N/A N/A

Base Salary

The base salary for each NEO is based on an assessment of factors such as:

  • current competitive market conditions;
  • level of experience and performance of the executive officer, including length of time in such role;
  • compensation levels within the current Peer Group; and
  • particular skills of the NEOs, such as leadership ability and management effectiveness, responsibility and proven or expected performance of the particular individual.

The Compensation Committee uses this assessment to recommend the base salaries for each of the CEO and the CFO. The Board, upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, sets the base salary of the CEO, and, upon recommendation of the Compensation Committee and CEO, sets the base salary of the CFO. In determining the base salary of each of the other NEOs, the Board considers the recommendations made by the CEO and the Compensation Committee, the particular responsibilities related to the position, the experience level of the NEO, his or her past performance at the Company, budgetary guidelines and other internally generated planning and forecasting tools. Base salaries are reviewed annually and may be adjusted based on changes within the competitive market, individual performance or to reflect additional responsibilities.

Short-Term Incentives (Annual Performance-Based Cash Incentives)

Annual performance-based cash incentives are a variable component of compensation designed to reward the Company's executive officers for maximizing annual operating performance and advancing future growth opportunities. The NEOs are eligible for annual performance-based cash incentives based on a consideration of factors including total shareholder return ("TSR"), people and culture initiatives, achievement of production targets, health and safety, environment, operating costs and all-in-sustaining-costs ("AISC") exploration and development and the NEOs' performance and other exceptional factors. These and other relevant factors are given varying degrees of weight depending on the relevance of the factors to the particular NEO.

Any short-term incentives paid to NEOs are entirely within the discretion of the Board, following recommendations by the CEO and the Compensation Committee and taking into consideration the financial and operational performance of the Company at the time. The annual performance incentive is a short-term element of compensation which is linked to the overall goal of creating shareholder value. This target incentive is set out as a percentage of base salary and

reflects the significance of the individual’s position and level of responsibility. The target short-term incentive plan awards range from 50% to 150% of base salary, however, actual payout can range from between 0% to 150% of target for “stretch” objectives for VPs and SVPs, and can range from between 0% to 200% of target for “stretch” objectives for EVPs, COO, CIO and CFO and the CEO.

In February 2025, the Compensation Committee met to review the Company’s performance in addition to the individual performance of the CEO and the recommendation of the CEO with respect to the individual performance of the NEOs. The Compensation Committee took into consideration:

  • Record production at the Porcupine Complex resulting in annual production of 234,700 ounces, exceeded the targeted 222,000 ounces planned for the full year;
  • Net cash from operating activities in the amount of US$377.7 million with free cash flow of US$172.2 million, liquidity in the amount of US$660.7 million including the Company’s revolving credit facility which had been entered into on September 15, 2025 which remains undrawn (See “Non-IFRS Measures” below);
  • Increase in cash of US$390.3 million from US$20.4 million in December 2024 to US$410.7 million in December 2025;
  • Adjusted net earnings of US$0.29 per share, compared to adjusted net loss of US$0.03 per share from the year prior;
  • Significant improvements in management systems, integration and strategic transactions, including financings, supply chain contracts and agreements with First Nations;
  • Share price performance of 1080% from January 1 to December 31, 2025, representing the best performing individual stock on the TSX composite for the year;
  • Hiring of over 160 people to strengthen both the management team in the Toronto office and the operations at site; and
  • Advancement of permitting activities at the Cordero Project.

As a result, the Compensation Committee determined the individual objectives of the CEO and the NEOs be augmented with respect to the individual performance of the CEO and NEO, based on the 2025 KPI scorecard results set out below. For 2025, all short-term incentive payouts were weighted on achievement of: (a) Company Objectives (consisting of both corporate and operations objectives); (b) Departmental or Divisional Success; and (c) Individual Performance and Success, subject to the individual adjustments set out below.

The overarching objectives for 2025 were comprised of the following key areas: share performance, integration of the Porcupine Complex, ESG, people and culture, growth and development in addition to Company-wide operational targets including production, cash costs and AISC for the year ended December 31, 2025.

In 2025, the Compensation Committee conducted a comprehensive review of the various KPIs, taking into particular consideration the transformative Porcupine Acquisition which was undertaken in 2024 and completed in April 2025. This strategic acquisition has significantly accelerated the Company's transition from developer to producer, resulting in substantial Shareholder value creation. In recognition of the executive team's exceptional performance in identifying, negotiating, and executing this value-accretive transaction, the CEO and NEOs all achieved stretch target weightings with respect to their short-term cash incentives, based on the metrics set out below.

The Compensation Committee and the Board believe that this compensation decision appropriately reflects the efforts and results achieved by management in positioning the Company as a mid-tier precious metals company with enhanced growth prospects and a strengthened market position. Although earned for 2025 performance, the short-term non-equity incentives were paid to executives in February of 2026 and are reflected in the table on page 60.

Long-Term Equity

The Compensation Committee believes that granting performance share units ("PSUs") and restricted share units ("RSUs" and together with PSUs, "Share Units") to key personnel encourages retention and more closely aligns the interests of management with the long-term interests of shareholders. The number of PSUs and RSUs to be granted is based on the relative contribution and involvement of the individual, taking into consideration previous PSUs and RSUs granted. In addition, the Compensation Committee considers the experience of the executive and the level of seniority of the individual when making recommendations to the Board for approval of PSU and RSU grants, respectively.

(a) Performance Share Units

Under the LTI Plan, participants are eligible to receive PSU grants on an annual basis, subject to Board approval.

PSUs are intended to increase the alignment of executive risks and rewards by the Company's total shareholder return relative to the Company's peer group. Under the LTI Plan, participants are eligible for PSU grants on an annual basis, subject to Board approval.

The number of PSUs granted to the NEOs is based on a target award as a percentage of salary divided by the volume weighted average share price of the Common Shares for the five trading days preceding the date of grant. PSUs vest on the date on which the performance period ends. The number of PSUs that vest is based on the performance of the Company compared to the constituents on the S&P/TSX Global Gold Index as measured over a three-year performance period ending December 31. The number of PSUs that vest at the end of the performance period ranges from 0% to 200% of the initial grant, depending on the Company's TSR compared to the S&P/TSX Global Gold Index at the end of the performance period. The Company's performance is then ranked on a percentile basis relative to the other constituents of the S&P/TSX Global Gold Index. Based on the Company's percentile ranking, all awards apply the below Payout Factor (as defined below).

2025 PAYOUT FACTOR

Percentile Payout Factor
Above the 95^{th} percentile 200%
Above the 90^{th} percentile 150%
Above the 80^{th} percentile 125%

Between the 25^{th} to the 40^{th} percentile 50%
Below the 25^{th} percentile Nil

DISCOVERY

(b) Restricted Share Units

Under the LTI Plan, participants are eligible to receive RSU grants on an annual basis, subject to Board approval.

The number of RSUs granted to the NEOs is based on a target award as a percentage of salary divided by the volume weighted average trading price of the Common Shares for the five trading days preceding the date of grant. RSUs vest in thirds beginning on the first anniversary of the date of grant. On the vesting date, at the discretion of the Board, the participant will be entitled to receive a payment in cash, an issuance of Common Shares from treasury or some combination thereof based on the market price of the Common Shares on the date of vesting multiplied by the number of RSUs held. The market price used to determine any payment on the date of vesting is equal to the five-day volume weighted average trading price of the Common Shares ending on the last trading date immediately before the date of vesting.

(c) Stock Options

The Company did not grant any Options in 2025 and has no current plans to grant Options in the future.

Pension, Benefits and Perquisites

Discovery provides competitive benefits and perquisites to executives to aid in the attraction and retention of highly qualified executives. Executives are provided with medical, dental and disability benefits on the same basis as they are provided to all full-time employees. The Company has a defined contribution pension plan which is offered to all employees and all executives will be eligible for a Registered Compensation Arrangement beginning in 2026.

Mix of Pay

The 2025 target compensation mix and at-risk-pay for the CEO and the other NEOs is shown in the charts below and is based on 2025 base salaries, short term incentive plan and LTIP target award values in terms of percentage of salary.

Compensation Governance and Risk Management

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Board engaged Bedford, an independent compensation consultant, to provide an appropriate benchmarking analysis for the Company's compensation framework for both the senior management team and the Board. With the successful Porcupine Acquisition completed in April 2025 and the Company's evolution to a gold producer, the Compensation Committee and the Board felt it appropriate to re-engage an independent third-party compensation consultant to undertake an independent compensation review benchmarking Discovery against similar companies to gauge whether the Company's compensation package is both reasonable and competitive. The updated independent third-party compensation benchmarking analysis completed in early 2025, provided the Compensation Committee and the Board with market intelligence on compensation practices among mid-tier gold producers. Additionally, the analysis also evaluated appropriate compensation levels for management and the Board tailored to the size and scale of the Company. Long-term compensation strategies were reviewed to further enhance alignment of management and the Board with Shareholders and stakeholders.

As a result of this independent review, the Company strengthened its focus on pay-for-performance by adjusting its compensation strategy to: (a) increase the percentage of LTI grants; and (b) add a three-year cliff vesting performance based share unit which would account for at least 50% of the executives' LTI annual grant. This was done to ensure that a greater percentage of compensation was "at-risk" and only payable on the long-term success of the Company. In the event certain thresholds are not met, the vesting of the performance share units three years from the date of grant could result in a nil payout, if the Company fails to perform vis-a-vis its peers. Going forward, the Compensation Committee and the Board are committed to further strengthening the STI plan ("STIP") by including additional operational and departmental target weightings to enhance overall performance metrics. With an expanded STIP, the Company can ensure a pay-for-performance success-based results plan will serve to properly motivate and incentivize the executive management team.

The Compensation Committee assesses potential risks facing the Company with respect to its compensation policies and practices, succession planning for the Board and for senior management, and organizational changes within the senior management team, including leadership and development to mitigate such risks. The Compensation Committee also regularly reviews organizational changes at the senior management level and is provided with updates on a quarterly basis on human resources issues associated with the Company as a whole.

Succession Planning - Executives

With respect to succession planning at the executive level, the Board, along with the Compensation Committee, have responsibility for overseeing management's planning process for executive development and succession planning. On an annual basis the Compensation Committee and the Board review the current management structure at the executive level and below to ensure a natural pipeline of high performing executives and to ensure orderly senior leadership transitions. Succession planning at the executive level is used to progress the Company's overall business strategy. The CEO regularly presents updates to the Company's organizational structure noting critical positions and the internal candidates qualified to fill such positions. Where any gaps are identified, the Compensation Committee, along with the Board, will consider potential lateral movements within the organization and may also research external talent opportunities. In addition, the CEO identifies internal high potential successor candidates for senior management roles to the Board. High potential candidates are encouraged to have direct interactions with the Board members so that the Board may become familiar with all potential candidates and gain exposure to their individual skills and expertise. In 2025, the Board and the CEO reviewed a near term succession plan for senior management.

As part of the executive succession planning program, the Board, supported by the CEO, is responsible for CEO succession. The Board meets in camera to discuss CEO succession no less than once per year and the development of potential candidates is reviewed and assessed. In addition, the Board maintains a succession plan in the event of an unexpected departure of the CEO.

Following the completion of the Porcupine Acquisition in April 2025, management undertook a review of its existing organizational structure with the view to supplement and grow the executive management teams at both the corporate and site levels. As a result, various critical positions were identified and filled. The CEO and the Board, along with the oversight of the Compensation Committee, will continue to work on the succession planning of Discovery as it transitions to a mid-tier producer, taking into consideration the Company's immediate and long-term succession planning needs.

Notes:

(1) The fair values of the Share Units granted have been measured using the market value of the Common Shares on the date that the Share Units were granted and do not represent the actual amounts received by the NEOs. The actual amount received will be determined by the market value of the Common Shares on the date that the Share Units vest and the corresponding Common Shares are received by the NEOs.

(2) The fair values of the Options granted have been estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and do not represent the actual amounts received by the NEOs. The actual amount received will be determined by the market value of the Common Shares on the date that the Option is exercised. Assumptions used in the pricing model on grant date are as follows: For the Options granted to Mr. Makuch in 2023: (exercise price: $1.42, Expected life 5.00 years, Risk Free rate: 3.50%, expected volatility: 87.0%, expected forfeiture rate: 5.2%, expected dividend yield: nil). For the Options granted to NEOs: (exercise price: $2.05, Expected life 5.00 years, Risk Free rate: 3.32%, expected volatility: 93.0%, expected forfeiture rate: 5.4%, expected dividend yield: nil).

(3) The annual incentive plan amount under the non-equity incentive plan is an amount earned for that year in accordance with the Company's STI Plan with the actual cash payment made in the subsequent year. For executives hired in 2025, such amounts were pro-rated based on the executive's date of hire.

(4) Includes severance amounts payable to Mr. L’Abbé upon his separation from the Company as the former CFO and various sign-on cash awards payable to Mr. Rocque and Ms. Wagner, which were paid in 2025; and to Mr. Kallio which was paid in 2026, with respect to their individual appointments as executive officers of the Company.

(5) Ms. Wagner was appointed an executive of the Company effective April 25, 2025 and previously served as an independent director from January 1, 2025 to April 25, 2025 and then as a non-independent director from the date of her appointment as an executive until the 2025 AGM, where she did not stand for re-election.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

The compensation of directors of the Company is reviewed annually and determined by the Compensation Committee with input from independent third-party reports. The level of compensation for directors is determined after consideration of various relevant factors, including input from independent third-party reports, the expected nature and quantity of duties and responsibilities, past performance, comparison with compensation paid by other issuers of comparable size and nature, and the availability of financial resources.

Prior to the completion of the Porcupine Acquisition in April 2025, the Board took the position that a formalized compensation plan for the directors was not required. While the Board considers equity grants from time to time to non-executive directors, the Board previously did not employ a prescribed methodology when determining the grant or

allocation of DSUs. Other than the DSU Plan, as discussed above, the Company does not offer any long-term incentive plans, share compensation plans, or any other such benefit programs for non-executive directors.

In 2025, following the review of the Bedford benchmarking analysis, the Compensation Committee determined it was appropriate to implement a formalized approach to director compensation for the year ended December 31, 2025. As a result, the Compensation Committee considered the long-term alignment of directors with Shareholders through the issuance of DSUs. Further, in 2025, the Company did not grant any Options to non-executive directors. Taking into consideration best compensation practices, the Board approved a DSU grant to directors in 2025 to align director and Shareholder interests. In addition, based on the recommendation of the benchmarking analysis, the Board approved an increase to director fees to take effect in 2025. DSUs are only paid to directors upon separation from the Board and in accordance with the terms of the DSU Plan.

The following table sets forth all amounts of compensation provided to the directors (other than Mr. Makuch) for the Company's financial year ended December 31, 2025.

Further information on these equity compensation issuances is available in the 2025 AIF, available under the Company's profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and on the Company's website at www.discoverysilver.com.

The LTI Plan, the DSU Plan and the Option Plan are consistent with current TSX policies and are summarized below.

EQUITY COMPENSATION PLANS

Long-Term Incentive Plan

At the 2025 AGM, the Shareholders approved the adoption of the long-term incentive plan ("LTI Plan") to replace the Company's previous Restricted Share Unit Plan. During the years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, RSUs were granted under the Company's previous plan. A copy of the LTI Plan is attached as Schedule A to the circular dated May 6, 2025 in connection with the 2025 AGM, a copy of which is available under the Company's SEDAR+ profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

The LTI Plan provides for the issuance of RSUs and PSUs to employees, officers and eligible contractors of the Company and its affiliates. Recipients of RSUs and PSUs are defined as "Participants" in the LTI Plan. A director of the Company is not eligible to participate in the LTI Plan unless he or she is also an employee, officer or eligible contractor of the Company or its affiliates. Each Share Unit granted to a particular Participant is compensation for services rendered by the Participant to the Company or its affiliates.

The LTI Plan provides that the aggregate number of Common Shares to be reserved for issuance under the LTI Plan will not exceed such number of Common Shares as would, when combined with all other Common Shares subject to grants under DSUs, RSUs and PSUs of the Company, including grants under any existing legacy plans, be equal to 10% of the Common Shares then issued and outstanding, subject to adjustments pursuant to the terms of the LTI Plan, and provided, for greater clarity that any Options or other incentive securities of a third party entity assumed by the

Company as a result of the acquisition of such entity by the Company in the future will not be factored in the calculation of the foregoing limits.

As at May 13, 2026, the Company had 810,857,272 Common Shares issued and outstanding (on a non-diluted basis). Accordingly, excluding the Options, DSUs and RSUs and PSUs currently outstanding, the maximum number of Common Shares remaining available for issuance pursuant to the LTI Plan and all other DSUs, RSUs and PSUs of the Company is 64,276,679 being approximately 8% of the number of Common Shares issued and outstanding.

The LTI Plan limits the aggregate number of Common Shares (a) issuable to insiders pursuant to Share Units and all other security-based compensation arrangements of the Company, at any time, to 10% of the total number of Common Shares issued and outstanding (on a non-diluted basis) immediately prior to the proposed grant, and (b) issued to insiders pursuant to Share Units and all other security-based compensation arrangements of the Company within a one year period to 10% of the total number of Common Shares issued and outstanding (on a non-diluted basis) immediately prior to the proposed grant.

In no case can a Participant, immediately after being granted an award of Share Units (i) hold a beneficial interest in greater than 5% of the Common Shares, or (ii) be in a position to control the casting of greater than 5% of the votes that might be cast at a general meeting of Shareholders of the Company ("Ownership Restrictions").

RSUs vest on the entitlement date, as determined by the Board in its discretion, which will not be later than December 31 of the third calendar year following the calendar year in which the services were performed to which the award relates (the "Entitlement Date"). On an Entitlement Date, the Company will make a payment to the relevant Participant in either: (a) cash equal to the five-day volume weighted average trading price of the Common Shares on the TSX multiplied by the number of Share Units being settled, or the issuance, or (b) the issuance of Common Shares to the Participant in accordance with the terms of the LTI Plan in an amount equal to the number of Share Units being settled.

PSUs vest on the entitlement date, as determined by the Board in its discretion, which will not be later than December 31 of the third calendar year following the calendar year in which the services were performed to which the award relates (the "Entitlement Date" with respect to a PSU). In addition, at the time PSUs are granted, the Board makes the payment of such PSUs subject to the satisfaction of performance conditions or measures to be achieved by the Company, the Participant or a class of Participants, before the relevant Entitlement Date. On an Entitlement Date, the Company will make a payment to the relevant Participant in either: (a) cash equal to the five-day volume weighted average trading price of the Common Shares on the TSX multiplied by the number of Share Units being settled, or (b) the issuance of Common Shares to the Participant in accordance with the terms of the LTI Plan in an amount equal to the number of Share Units being settled, and in each (a) and (b) case above, multiplied by 0% to 200%, quantifying the performance achievement realized on an Entitlement Date (the "Payout Factor"). See "Performance Share Units - Payout Factor".

The Board may, in its discretion, elect to credit each Participant with additional Share Units in the event any dividend is paid on the Common Shares. In such case, the number of additional Share Units will be equal to the aggregate amount of dividends that would have been paid to the Participant if the Share Units in the Participant's account had been Common Shares divided by the five-day volume weighted average trading price of the Common Shares on the TSX immediately prior to the date on which dividends were paid by the Company. Such additional Share Units will vest on the Entitlement Date of the particular Share Unit (and will be subject to the same terms) to which the additional Share Units relate.

Subject to specific exceptions and restrictions outlined in the LTI Plan, Share Units are not assignable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and will become void on the termination (with or without cause) of a Participant, except as otherwise determined by the Board in its discretion. However, if a Participant retires, any Share Units held by the Participant will continue to vest in accordance with the terms of the LTI Plan until the earlier of (i) the date determined by the Board, in its sole discretion, or (ii) the Participant's Entitlement Date.

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR


DISCOVERY

In addition, unless the Board determines otherwise, the Entitlement Date for all of a Participant's Share Units will be accelerated as follows: (i) in the event of the death of the Participant, the Entitlement Date will be the date of death; and (ii) in the event of the total disability of the Participant, the Entitlement Date will be the date which is 60 days following the date on which the Participant becomes totally disabled. Where the Entitlement Date of a PSU is accelerated as a result of death or disability, unless the Board determines otherwise, the Payout Factor will be calculated based on (x) in the case of any performance measurement periods that are complete on or prior to the Entitlement Date, the actual performance, and (y) in the case of any performance measurement periods that are not complete on or prior to the Entitlement Date, assuming 100% performance achievement during such measurement period.

If within 12 months of a Change of Control (as defined in the LTI Plan) of the Company, a Participant that is: (i) a director, is terminated or is not re-elected or re-appointed; (ii) an employee, is terminated without cause; (iii) an officer, is removed or is not re-elected or re-appointed; (iv) an employee or an officer, experiences a material adverse change imposed by the Company or an affiliate (as the case may be) to (a) their duties, powers, rights, discretion, prestige, salary, benefits, perquisites, as they exist, and (b) with respect to their financial entitlements, the conditions under and manner in which they were payable, immediately prior to the change of control, or a material diminution of title imposed by the Company as it exists immediately prior to the change of control in either case without the employee's or the officer's written agreement; and (v) an eligible contractor, is terminated, then all outstanding Share Units held by such Participant will immediately vest and the Entitlement Date for such Share Units will occur.

In the event the Participant's Entitlement Date is accelerated in the foregoing circumstances, in the case of PSUs, the Payout Factor will be calculated based on actual performance during the performance measurement period commencing on the date of grant of the PSUs and ending on the Entitlement Date (on a continued basis subject to adjustments in accordance with the LTI Plan). In the event the successor entity fails to assume the unvested PSUs following a change of control or in the event the Board adopts a resolution to wind-up, dissolve or liquidate the Company, the Entitlement Date in respect of the PSUs will be accelerated to the date immediately prior to the change of control or the date the Board adopts a resolution to wind-up, dissolve or liquidate the Company (as applicable), and any performance measurement periods that are not complete on or prior to the change of control or the date the Board adopts a resolution to wind-up, dissolve or liquidate the Company (as applicable), will be calculated based on actual performance during the performance measurement period commencing on the date of grant of the PSUs and ending on the accelerated Entitlement Date in accordance with the above.

Subject to any applicable regulatory or TSX requirements, the Board may from time to time in its discretion (without Shareholder approval) amend, modify and change the provisions of the LTI Plan (including any grant letters), including, without limitation, amendments of a housekeeping nature or any change to the Entitlement Date of any Share Units, except that it may not make any of the following amendments to the LTI Plan without first having obtained the approval of a majority of Shareholders voting at a Shareholders meeting:

  • increase the number of Common Shares or maximum percentage of Common Shares which may be issued pursuant to the LTI Plan other than in the event of a change in the Common Shares whether by reason of a stock dividend, consolidation, subdivision, reclassification, amalgamation, merger, business combination or arrangement;
  • reduce the range of amendments requiring Shareholder approval;
  • permit Share Units to be transferred or assigned other than for normal estate settlement purposes;
  • change insider participation limits which would result in Shareholder approval being required on a disinterested basis;

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR


DISCOVERY

  • materially modify the eligibility requirements for participation in the LTI Plan (including, for greater clarity, allowing participation in the LTI Plan by non-employee directors); or
  • modify the Ownership Restrictions.

As of the date of this Circular, there are (i) 5,198,397 RSUs and 3,138,097 PSUs outstanding under the LTI Plan, representing approximately 1% of the Company's issued and outstanding Common Shares, 5,382,082 of which are held directly or indirectly by NEOs or directors of the Company, and (ii) in accordance with the terms of the current LTI Plan, when combined with all other equity compensation plans, an aggregate of 64,276,679 Common Shares remain available for reservation and issuance upon the vesting of the RSUs which may be granted hereafter, representing approximately 8% of the Company's issued and outstanding Common Shares.

The following table sets out the burn rate of the Share Units for the three most recently completed financial years:

2023 4,116,668 RSUs 382,703,062 1.08%

Deferred Share Unit Plan

The Deferred Share Unit Plan (the "DSU Plan"), as amended, was most recently approved by the Shareholders at the 2025 AGM. A copy of the DSU Plan, as amended, is attached as Schedule B to the circular dated May 6, 2025 in connection with the 2025 AGM, a copy of which is available under the Company's SEDAR+ profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

The DSU Plan provides for the issuance of DSUs to non-employee directors of the Company or its subsidiaries, or to directors of the Company or its subsidiaries otherwise designated by the Board to be eligible for the DSU Plan. Recipients of DSUs are defined as "Participants" in the DSU Plan.

The purpose of the DSU Plan is to provide eligible directors of the Company with the opportunity to acquire DSUs and enable them to participate in the long-term success of the Company and to promote a greater alignment of interests between directors of the Company and its Shareholders. A DSU essentially tracks the value of the underlying Common Shares but does not entitle the recipient to the actual underlying Common Shares until such DSU vests. It is at the discretion of the Board whether the value of the DSUs on vesting is settled in Common Shares or cash, or a combination of both.

The maximum number of Common Shares available for issuance upon the vesting of DSUs under the current DSU Plan is, in combination with all security-based compensation arrangements of the Company (including the Option Plan and the DSU Plan), 10% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares (on a non-diluted basis) or such greater number of Common Shares as shall have been duly approved by the Board and, if required, by the TSX (if applicable) or any other stock exchange on which the Common Shares may then be listed, and by the Shareholders.

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR


DISCOVERY

Under the DSU Plan, if and for so long as the Common Shares are listed on the TSX, the number of Common Shares which may be issuable under the DSU Plan and any other security-based compensation plan of the Company:

  • to any one eligible Participant, shall not exceed 5% of the total number of issued and outstanding Common Shares on a non-diluted basis at the grant date;
  • within any one-year period: (i) to any one eligible Participant, shall not exceed 5% of the total number of issued and outstanding Common Shares on the grant date (on a non-diluted basis); and (ii) to insiders of the Company as a group, shall not exceed 10% of the total number of issued and outstanding Common Shares on the grant date (on a non-diluted basis);
  • to insiders of the Company as a group, shall not exceed 10% of the total number of issued and outstanding Common Shares (on a non-diluted basis); and
  • to each Participant shall not exceed an annual grant date value of $150,000 under the DSU Plan and all other security-based compensation plans of the Company in the aggregate, excluding: (i) the value of the initial grant of DSUs to the Participant, as of the grant date of such DSUs; (ii) any amount of remuneration that a Participant has elected to receive in the form of DSUs in lieu of cash on a value-for-value exchange; and, (iii) the value of any DSUs which are not issued as equity and are settled in cash.

The DSU Plan provides that each Participant shall be entitled to redeem his or her DSUs during the period commencing on the business day immediately following the applicable termination date and ending on the 90th day following the said termination date.

Upon redemption, subject to the terms of the DSU Plan, the Participant shall be entitled to receive, and the Company shall issue or provide, as applicable and as determined by the Board in its sole discretion: (i) a number of Common Shares issued from treasury equal to the number of DSUs in the Participant's account, subject to any applicable deductions and withholdings, (ii) a number of Common Shares purchased by an independent administrator of the DSU Plan in the open market (for the purpose of satisfying the Company's redemption obligations) equal to the number of DSUs in the Participant's account, subject to any applicable deductions and withholdings, (iii) a cash amount equal to the number of DSUs multiplied by the applicable share price (as prescribed by the DSU Plan), subject to any applicable deductions and withholdings, or (iv) a combination of the foregoing. Participants may choose to redeem their vested DSUs in tranches over a period of 12 months.

DSUs granted under the DSU Plan are not transferable or assignable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

The DSU Plan provides the Board with the authority to amend or revise the DSU Plan and/or outstanding DSUs, as follows:

  • The Board may in its sole discretion, amend, suspend or terminate the DSU Plan or any portion thereof at any time, in accordance with applicable legislation, provided that such amendment, suspension, or termination (i) may require Shareholder approval and/or TSX approval, and (ii) shall not adversely affect the rights of any eligible Participant with respect to the DSUs to which the eligible Participant is then entitled under the DSU Plan without the consent of the eligible Participant.
  • Unless otherwise required by the TSX, the Board may make the following amendments to the DSU Plan, without obtaining Shareholder approval: (i) amendments to the terms and conditions of the DSU Plan necessary to ensure that the DSU Plan complies with the applicable regulatory requirements, including the rules of the TSX, in place from time to time; or (ii) amendments to the DSU Plan that are of a "housekeeping" nature, including

Stock Option Plan

The stock option plan was adopted on May 12, 2023 (the "Option Plan") and was last amended and approved by the Shareholders at the Company's annual general meeting on May 15, 2024.

The Option Plan provides for the issuance of stock options (each, an "Option") to employees, officers directors and eligible contractors of the Company and its affiliates. Recipients of Options are defined as "Participants" in the Option Plan. The purpose of the Option Plan is to attract, retain, and motivate directors, officers, employees, and consultants by providing them with the opportunity, through Options, to acquire an interest in the Company and benefit from the Company's growth.

Under the Option Plan:

  • the maximum number of Common Shares that may be reserved for issuance upon the exercise of Options granted thereunder, together with the aggregate number of Common Shares which may be issuable under any other security-based compensation plan of the Company, is limited to 10% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares at the time of grant. If an Option is surrendered, terminated, or expires without being exercised, the Common Shares reserved for issuance pursuant to such Option will become available for new Options granted under the Option Plan;
  • the aggregate number of Common Shares reserved for issuance to any one eligible person in any 12-month period under the Option Plan and any other security-based compensation plan of the Company may not exceed 5% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares at the time of the grant;
  • the aggregate number of Common Shares issued to insiders of the Company pursuant to the exercise of Options, with any 12-month period, under the Option Plan and any other security-based compensation plan of the Company may not exceed 10% of the Company's issued and outstanding securities at the time of the grant; and
  • the aggregate number of Common Shares reserved for issuance to insiders of the Company under the Option Plan and any other security-based compensation plan of the Company may not exceed 10% of the Company's issued and outstanding securities at the time of the grant.

The Option Plan provides the Board with the authority to establish the exercise price of an Option at the time that each Option is granted, provided that the exercise price shall be established as one of the following: (i) an exercise price that is not less than the "market price" of the Common Shares, as the term "market price" is defined in the TSX Company Manual, (ii) an exercise price that is the closing market price of the Common Shares on the trading day preceding the date of grant of the Options, or (iii) an exercise price that is not less than the weighted average of the trading prices or average daily high and low board lot trading prices on the five consecutive trading days preceding the date of grant of the Options.

The directors of the Company may, by resolution, determine the time period during which any Option may be exercised (the "Exercise Period"), provided that the Exercise Period does not contravene any rule or regulation of such exchange on which the Common Shares may be listed. Options have a maximum term of 10 years from the date of grant. If an Option expires during a Blackout Period (as defined in the Option Plan), the expiry date of the Option will be the 10th Business Day (as defined in the Option Plan) after the expiry of the Blackout Period (as defined in the Option Plan).

The Option Plan provides the Board with the authority to determine when any Option will become exercisable, and the Board may determine that the Option will be exercisable in instalments or pursuant to a vesting schedule.

Options are non-assignable and will terminate on the expiry of their original term. However, the Option Plan provides for early termination of Options in the event of the death of a Participant or in the event a Participant ceases to be a director, officer, employee, or consultant of the Company or of a subsidiary thereof, as the case may be. Specifically:

  • if a Participant who is an officer, employee, or consultant is terminated for cause, each Option held by such Participant shall terminate and shall therefore cease to be exercisable upon such termination for cause;
  • if a Participant dies prior to otherwise ceasing to be an eligible Participant, each Option held by such Participant shall terminate and shall therefore cease to be exercisable no later than the earlier of the expiry date of the Option and the date which is 6 months after the date of the Participant's death, subject to the authority of the Board to, in its discretion and subject to the Option Plan, extend the date of such termination and the resulting period in which such Option remains exercisable; and
  • if a Participant ceases to be an eligible Participant other than as a result of the circumstances described above (i.e., death or termination for cause), each Option held by such Participant shall terminate and shall cease to be exercisable no later than the earlier of the expiry date of the Option and the date which is 90 days after such event, subject to the authority of the Board to, in its discretion and subject to the Option Plan, extend the date of such termination and the resulting period in which such Option remains exercisable.

The Option Plan provides the Board with the authority to amend or revise the Option Plan and/or outstanding Options, as follows:

  • Subject to the requisite Shareholder and regulatory approvals, the Board may from time to time amend or revise the terms of the Option Plan or may suspend or discontinue the Option Plan at any time, provided however that no such action may, without the consent of an eligible Participant, in any manner adversely affect the Participant's rights under any Option thereto granted under the Option Plan.
  • The Board may, subject to receipt of requisite Shareholder and regulatory approval, make certain prescribed amendments to the Option Plan or any Options granted thereunder, including: (i) any amendment to increase the number of securities issuable under the Option Plan; (ii) any reduction to the exercise price of any Option issued under the Option Plan or cancellation and reissue of Options or other entitlements; (iii) any amendment that extends the term of Options beyond the original expiry; and (iv) any other amendments that may lead to significant or unreasonable dilution in the Company's outstanding securities or may provide additional benefits to eligible Participants, especially insiders of the Company, at the expense of the Company and its existing Shareholders.
  • The Board may, and without further Shareholder approval, subject to receipt of requisite regulatory approval, where required, in its sole discretion make certain prescribed amendments to the Option Plan or any Option granted and any Option agreement, that are not of the type contemplated above, including: (i) a change to the vesting provisions of an Option or the Option Plan; (ii) a change to the termination provisions of an Option or the Option Plan which does not entail an extension beyond the original expiry date of an Option; (iii) amendments of an administrative nature; (iv) amendments required to comply with applicable laws or the requirements of the TSX or any regulatory body or stock exchange with jurisdiction over the Company; and (v) any change fundamental or otherwise, not requiring Shareholder approval under applicable laws or the rules of the TSX, including amendments of a "clerical" or "housekeeping" nature and amendments to ensure that the Options granted under the Option Plan will comply with any provisions respecting income tax and other laws in force in any country or jurisdiction of which an eligible Participant may from time to time be resident or a citizen.
  • With the consent of the affected Participant and any applicable regulatory authorities (if required), and without further Shareholder approval, the Board may amend or modify any outstanding Option in any manner to the

extent that the Board would have had the authority to initially grant the Option as so modified or amended, including without limitation, to change the date or dates as of which, or the price at which, an Option becomes exercisable. If the amendment of an Option requires regulatory or Shareholder approval, such amendment may be made prior to such approvals being given, but no such amended Options may be exercised unless and until such approvals are given.

As of the date of this Circular, there are (i) 5,105,440 Options outstanding under the Option Plan, representing approximately 0.63% of the Company's issued and outstanding Common Shares, of which 3,495,490 are held directly or indirectly by NEOs or directors of the Company, and (ii) in accordance with the terms of the Option Plan, and together with all other equity compensation plans, an aggregate of 64,276,679 Common Shares remain available for reservation and issuance upon the exercise of Options which may be granted hereafter, representing approximately 2% of the Company's issued and outstanding Common Shares.

The Company did not grant any Options in 2024 or 2025 and it does not currently plan to grant Options going forward.

The following table sets out the burn rate of the Options for the three most recently completed financial years:

Year Options Awarded Weighted Average Securities Outstanding Burn Rate
2025 No Option grant in 2025 687,819,318 Nil
2024 No Option grant in 2024 398,385,856 Nil

(b) the auditor and the directors are present or waive notice of or otherwise consent to such meeting being held, so long as such shareholders, auditor and directors present are not attending for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the grounds that the meeting is not lawfully called. At such a meeting any business may be transacted which the Corporation at a meeting of shareholders may transact. If the meeting is held at a place outside Canada, shareholders not present or represented by proxy, but who have waived notice of or otherwise consented to such meeting, shall also be deemed to have consented to the meeting being held at such place.

If the Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the Corporation, if either is appointed, is absent, or if a Secretary or Assistant Secretary has not been appointed at the applicable time, the chair shall appoint some person, who need not be a shareholder, to act as secretary of the meeting.

9.16 Votes to Govern

At any meeting of shareholders every question shall, unless otherwise required by the articles or by-laws or by law, be determined by a majority of the votes cast on the question. In case of an equality of votes either upon a show of hands or upon a poll, the chair of the meeting shall not be entitled to a second or casting vote.

9.17 Show of Hands

Subject to the provisions of the Act, any question at a meeting of shareholders shall be decided by a show of hands, which may include such other indication of a vote made by means of the telephonic, electronic or other communication facility, if any, made available by the Corporation for that purpose, unless a ballot thereon is required or demanded as hereinafter provided. Upon a show of hands, every person who is present, in person or by means of the telephonic, electronic or other communications facility, if any that the Corporation has made available for such purpose, and entitled to vote shall have one vote. Whenever a vote by show of hands shall have been taken upon a question, unless a ballot thereon is so required or demanded, a declaration by the chair of the meeting that the vote upon the question has been carried or carried by a particular majority or not carried and an entry to that effect in the minutes of the meeting shall be prima facie evidence of the fact without proof of the number or proportion of the votes recorded in favour of or against any resolution or other proceeding in respect of the said question, and the result of the vote so taken shall be the decision of the shareholders upon the said question. For the purpose of this section, if at any meeting the Corporation has made available to shareholders the means to vote electronically, any vote made electronically shall be included in tallying any votes by show of hands.

9.18 Ballots

On any question proposed for consideration at a meeting of shareholders, and whether or not a vote by show of hands has been taken thereon, any shareholder or proxyholder entitled to vote at the meeting may require or demand a ballot. A ballot so required or demanded shall be taken in such manner as the chair shall direct. A requirement or demand for a ballot may be withdrawn at any time prior to the taking of the ballot. If a ballot is taken each person present shall be entitled, in respect of the shares which he or she is entitled to vote at the meeting upon the question, to that number of votes provided by the Act or the articles, and the result of the ballot so taken shall be the decision of the shareholders upon the said question.

SCHEDULE C

COMPARISON OF SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS UNDER BCBCA VS. OBCA

The OBCA provides shareholders with substantially the same rights as are available to shareholders under the BCBCA, including rights of dissent and appraisal and rights to bring derivative actions and oppression actions. However, there are certain differences between the two statutes and the regulations made thereunder.

The following is a summary of certain differences between the BCBCA and the OBCA, but it is not intended to be a comprehensive review of the two statutes. Reference should be made to the full text of both statutes and the regulations thereunder for particulars of any differences between them, and Shareholders should consult their legal or other professional advisors with regard to all of the implications of the Continuance which may be of importance to them.

Capitalized terms used in this Schedule "C" shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Circular.

Charter Documents

Under the BCBCA, the charter documents consist of a "notice of articles", which sets forth, among other things, the name of the corporation and the amount and type of authorized capital, and "articles" which govern the management of the corporation. The notice of articles is filed with the Registrar of Companies, while articles are filed only with the corporation's registered and records office.

Under the OBCA, a corporation's charter documents consist of "articles of incorporation", which set forth the name of the corporation and the amount and type of authorized capital, and the "by-laws", which govern the management of the corporation. The articles are filed with the Director under the OBCA and the by-laws are filed with the corporation's registered office, or at another location designated by the corporation's directors.

Amendments to the Charter Documents of a Corporation

Under the BCBCA, a corporation may amend its articles or notice of articles by (i) the type of resolution specified in the BCBCA, (ii) if the BCBCA does not specify a type of resolution, then by the type of resolution specified in the corporation's articles, or (iii) if neither the BCBCA nor the corporation's articles specify a resolution, then by special resolution. A special resolution must be passed by (i) the majority of votes that the articles specify is required for the corporation to pass a special resolution, provided that such majority is at least 66 2/3% and not more than 75% of the votes cast on such resolution, or (ii) if the articles do not contain such a provision, 66 2/3% of the votes cast on the resolution. Certain other fundamental changes, including continuances out of the jurisdiction and certain amalgamations also require approval by at least a special majority of shareholders. In addition, a right or special right attached to issued shares must not be prejudiced or interfered with under the BCBCA or a corporation's notice of articles or articles unless the shareholders holding shares of the class or series of shares to which the right or special right is attached consent by a special separate resolution of those shareholder.

Under the OBCA, certain amendments to the charter documents of a corporation require a resolution passed by not less than 66 2/3% of the votes cast by the shareholders voting on the resolution authorizing the amendments and, where certain specified rights of the holders of a class or series of shares are affected by the amendments differently than the rights of the holders of other classes or series of shares, such holders are entitled to vote separately as a class or series, whether or not such class or series of shares otherwise carry the right to vote. A resolution to amalgamate an OBCA corporation requires a special resolution passed by the holders of each class or series of shares, whether or not such shares otherwise carry the right to vote, if such class or series of shares are affected differently.

Sale of Business or Assets

Under the BCBCA, a corporation may sell, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the undertaking of the corporation if it does so in the ordinary course of its business or if it has been authorized to do so by special resolution

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR


DISCOVERY

passed by the majority of votes that the articles of the corporation specify is required, if that specified majority is at least 66 2/3% and not more than 75% of the votes cast on the resolutions, or, if the articles do not contain such a provision, special resolutions passed by at least 66 2/3% of the votes cast on the resolutions.

The OBCA requires approval of the holders of 66 2/3% of the shares of a corporation represented at a duly called meeting to approve a sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of the property of the corporation that is other than in the ordinary course of business of the corporation. Holders of shares of a class or series, whether or not they are otherwise entitled to vote, can vote separately only if that class or series is affected by the sale, lease or exchange in a manner different from the shares of another class or series.

Rights of Dissent and Appraisal

Under the BCBCA, shareholders, including beneficial holders, who dissent to certain actions being taken by a corporation may exercise a right of dissent and require the corporation to purchase the shares held by such shareholder at the fair value of such shares. The dissent right may be exercised by a shareholder, whether or not their shares carry the right to vote, where a corporation proposes to:

  • amend its articles to alter restrictions on the powers of the corporation or on the business that the corporation is permitted to carry on;
  • adopt an amalgamation agreement;
  • continue out of the jurisdiction;
  • sell, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the corporation’s undertaking;
  • adopt a resolution to approve an amalgamation into a foreign jurisdiction; or
  • adopt a resolution to approve an arrangement, the terms of which arrangement permit dissent.

In certain circumstances, the BCBCA also permits shareholders to dissent in respect of a resolution if dissent is authorized by such resolution, or if permitted by court order.

Under the OBCA, shareholders who dissent to certain actions being taken by a corporation may exercise a right of dissent and require the corporation to purchase the shares held by such shareholder at the fair value of such shares. Subject to specified exceptions, dissent rights may be exercised by a holder of shares of any class or series of shares entitled to vote where a corporation resolves to:

  • amend its articles to add, remove or change restrictions on the issue, transfer or ownership of shares of a class or series of the shares of the corporation;
  • amend its articles to add, remove or change any restriction upon the business or businesses that the corporation may carry on or upon the powers that the corporation may exercise;
  • amalgamate with another corporation;
  • be continued under the laws of another jurisdiction; or
  • sell, lease or exchange all or substantially all its property.

Oppression Remedies

Under the BCBCA, a shareholder (including a beneficial shareholder and any other person a court considers to be appropriate) of a corporation has the right to apply to a court on the ground that: (i) the affairs of the corporation are being or have been conducted, or that the powers of the directors are being or have been exercised, in a manner oppressive to one or more of the shareholders, including the applicant or (ii) some act of the corporation has been done or is threatened, or that some resolution of the shareholders or of the shareholders holding shares of a class or series of shares has been passed or is proposed, that is unfairly prejudicial to one or more of the shareholders, including the applicant. On such an application and if the court is satisfied that the application was brought in a timely manner, the court may make such order as it sees fit with a view to remedying or bringing an end to the matters complained of, including, among other things, an order to prohibit any act proposed by the corporation.

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR


DISCOVERY

The oppression remedy under the OBCA is similar to the remedy found in the BCBCA, with a few differences. Under the BCBCA, the shareholder can only complain of oppressive conduct of the corporation, whereas under the OBCA, the applicant can complain not only about acts of the corporation and its directors but also acts of an affiliate of the corporation and the affiliate's directors.

Under the OBCA a registered shareholder, beneficial shareholder, former registered shareholder or beneficial shareholder, director, former director, officer, former officer of a corporation or any of its affiliates, or any other person who, in the discretion of a court, is a proper person to seek an oppression remedy, and in the case of an offering corporation, the Ontario Securities Commission, may apply to a court for an order to rectify the matters complained of where in respect of a corporation or any of its affiliates:

(a) any act or omission of a corporation or its affiliates effects or threatens to effect a result;
(b) the business or affairs of a corporation or its affiliates are or have been or are threatened to be carried on or conducted in a manner; or
(c) the powers of the directors of the corporation or any of its affiliates are, have been or are threatened to be exercised in a manner, that is oppressive or unfairly prejudicial to, or that unfairly disregards the interests of any security holder, creditor, director or officer of the corporation.

On such an application, the court may make such order as it sees fit, including but not limited to, an order restraining the conduct complained of.

Under the BCBCA, if there are reasonable grounds for believing that the corporation is, or after a payment to a successful applicant in an oppression claim would be, unable to pay its debts as they become due in the ordinary course of business, the corporation must make as much of the payment as possible and pay the balance when the corporation is able to do so; under the OBCA a corporation is prohibited from making a payment to a successful applicant in an oppression claim if there are reasonable grounds for believing that (a) the corporation is, or after the payment, would be unable to pay its liabilities as they become due, or (b) the realization value of the corporation's assets would thereby be less than the aggregate of its liabilities.

Shareholder Derivative Actions

Under the BCBCA, a complainant, being a shareholder (including a beneficial shareholder and any other person a court considers to be appropriate) or director of a corporation may, with leave of the court, bring a legal proceeding in the name and on behalf of the corporation to enforce a right, duty or obligation owed to the corporation that could be enforced by the corporation itself or to obtain damages for any breach of such a right, duty or obligation. Similarly, a complainant may, with leave of the court and in the name and on behalf of the corporation, defend legal proceeding against a corporation. Under the BCBCA, a court may grant leave if:

(a) the complainant has made reasonable efforts to cause the directors of the corporation to prosecute or defend the legal proceeding;
(b) notice of the application for leave has been given to the corporation and to any other person the court may order;
(c) the complainant is acting in good faith; and

it appears to the court that it is in the best interests of the corporation for the legal proceeding to be prosecuted or defended.

The OBCA extends rights to bring a derivative action to a broad range of complainants as it affords the right to a registered shareholder, former registered shareholder, beneficial owner of shares, former beneficial owner of shares, director, former director, officer and former officer of a corporation or any of its affiliates, or any person who, in the discretion of the court, is a proper person to make an application to the court to bring a derivative action. In addition, the OBCA permits derivative actions to be commenced in the name and on behalf of a corporation or any of its subsidiaries. No leave may be granted unless the court is satisfied that:

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR


DISCOVERY

(a) the complainant has given at least 14 days' notice to the directors of the corporation or its subsidiary of the complainant's intention to apply to the court to bring a derivative action, unless all of the directors of the corporation or its subsidiary are defendants in the action;
(b) the directors of the corporation or its subsidiary will not bring, diligently prosecute or defend or discontinue the action;
(c) the complainant is acting in good faith; and

it appears to be in the interests of the corporation or its subsidiary that the action be brought, prosecuted, defended or discontinued.

Requisition of Meetings

The BCBCA provides that one or more shareholders of a corporation holding not less than 5% of the issued voting shares of the corporation may give notice to the directors requiring them to call and hold a general meeting which meeting must be held within four months of receiving the requisition. Subject to certain exceptions, if the directors do not call such a meeting within 21 days of receiving the resolution, any one or more of the requisitioning shareholders who hold not less than 2.5% of the issued shares carrying the right to vote may send notice of a general meeting to be held to transact the business stated in the requisition.

The OBCA permits the holders of not less than 5% of the issued shares of a corporation that carry the right to vote to require the directors to call and hold a meeting of the shareholders of the corporation for the purposes stated in the requisition. Subject to certain exceptions, if the directors fail to provide notice of a meeting within 21 days of receiving the requisition, any shareholder who signed the requisition may call the meeting.

Form and Solicitation of Proxies, Information Circular

Under the BCBCA, the management of a public corporation, concurrently with sending a notice of meeting of shareholders, must send a form of proxy to each shareholder who is entitled to vote at the meeting as well as an information circular containing prescribed information regarding the matters to be dealt with at the meeting. The required information is substantially the same as the requirements that apply to the corporation under applicable securities laws. The BCBCA does not place any restriction on the method of soliciting proxies.

The OBCA also contains provisions prescribing the form and content of notices of meeting and information circulars. Under the OBCA, a person who solicits proxies, other than by or on behalf of management of the corporation, must send a dissident's proxy circular in prescribed form to each shareholder whose proxy is solicited and certain other recipients, subject to certain exceptions, including where (i) the total number of shareholders whose proxies solicited is 15 or fewer (with two or more joint holders being counted as one shareholder), or (ii) the solicitation is, in certain prescribed circumstances, conveyed by public broadcast, speech or publication, in which case a person soliciting proxies, other than by or on behalf of management of the corporation, may solicit proxies without sending a dissident's information circular.

Place of Shareholders' Meetings

Under the BCBCA, general meetings of shareholders are to be held in British Columbia, or may be held at a location outside of British Columbia if:

(a) the location is provided for in the articles;
(b) the articles do not restrict the corporation from approving a location outside of British Columbia and the location is approved by the resolutions required by the articles for that purpose, or, if no resolutions are specified, then approved by ordinary resolution before the meeting is held; or
(c) the location is approved in writing by the British Columbia registrar of companies before the meeting is held.

Under the OBCA, subject to the articles and any unanimous shareholder agreement, meetings of shareholders may be held in or outside Ontario (including outside Canada) as the directors determine or, in the absence of such a determination, at the place where the registered office of a corporation is located.

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR


DISCOVERY

Telephonic or Electronic Meetings

Under the BCBCA, unless the notice of articles or articles state otherwise, meetings of shareholders may be held entirely by electronic means and the corporation must permit and facilitate participation in the meeting by telephone or other communications medium.

Under the OBCA, unless the articles or by-laws state otherwise, meetings of shareholders may be held by telephonic or electronic means and shareholders may participate in and vote at the meeting by such means.

Shareholder Proposals

Under the BCBCA, in order for one or more registered or beneficial shareholders to be entitled to submit a proposal, they must have held voting shares for an uninterrupted period of at least two years before the date the proposal is signed by the shareholders. In addition, the proposal must be signed by shareholders who, together with the submitter, are registered or beneficial owners of (i) at least 1% of the corporation’s voting shares, or (ii) shares with a fair market value exceeding an amount prescribed by regulation (at present, $2,000).

Under the OBCA, a registered holder of shares entitled to vote at a meeting or a beneficial owner of shares that are entitled to be voted at a meeting of shareholders may submit a notice of a proposal to the corporation and discuss at the meeting any matter in respect of which the shareholder would have been entitled to submit a proposal.

Directors’ Residency Requirements

Both the BCBCA and the OBCA provide that a reporting corporation must have a minimum of three directors, but neither statute imposes any residency requirements on the directors.

Removal of Directors

The BCBCA provides that the shareholders of a corporation may remove one or more directors by a special resolution or by any other method specified in the articles. The BCBCA further provides that if holders of a class or series of shares have the exclusive right to elect or appoint one or more directors, a director so elected or appointed may only be removed by a special separate resolution of the shareholders of that class or series or, if the articles so provide, by a majority of votes that is less than the majority of votes.

The OBCA provides that the shareholders of a corporation may by ordinary resolution at an annual or special meeting remove any director or directors from office. An ordinary resolution under the OBCA requires the resolution to be passed, with or without amendment, at the meeting by at least a majority of the votes cast. The OBCA further provides that where the holders of any class or series of shares of a corporation have an exclusive right to elect one or more directors, a director so elected may only be removed by an ordinary resolution at a meeting of the shareholders of that class or series.

Independent Directors

The BCBCA does not impose any independence requirements on directors.

Under the OBCA, at least one-third of the members of the board of directors cannot be officers or employees of an offering corporation or its affiliates.

Quorum — Directors’ Meetings

The BCBCA states that the quorum necessary for the transaction of the business of the directors may be set by the directors and, if not so set, is a majority of the directors.

The OBCA states that quorum of directors’ meetings consists of a majority of directors or the minimum number of directors required by the articles (subject to the articles or by-laws).

Registered Office

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR


DISCOVERY

Under the BCBCA, a corporation must maintain a registered office and a records office in British Columbia and one or both may be relocated in any manner required or permitted by the articles, or if the articles are silent as to the manner in which a change of address is to be authorized, by a directors' resolution.

Under the OBCA, the registered office must be in Ontario and may be relocated to a different municipality with shareholder approval.

Corporate Records

The BCBCA requires records to be kept at its records office or at any location other than the records office so long as those records are available for inspection and copying at the records office by means of a computer terminal or other electronic technology.

The OBCA and related Ontario statutes require records to be kept at its registered office or such other place in Ontario designated by the directors.

Meaning of "Insolvent"

Under the BCBCA, for purposes of the insolvency test that must be passed for the payment of dividends and purchases and redemptions of shares, "insolvent" is defined to mean when a corporation is unable to pay its debts as they become due in the ordinary course of its business. Unlike the OBCA, the BCBCA does not impose a net asset solvency test for these purposes. For purposes of proceedings to dissolve or liquidate, the definition of "insolvent" from federal bankruptcy legislation applies.

Under the OBCA, a corporation may not pay dividends or purchase or redeem its shares if there are reasonable grounds for believing (i) it is or would be unable to pay its liabilities as they become due; or (ii) it would not meet a net asset solvency test. The net asset solvency tests for different purposes vary somewhat.

Reduction of Capital

Under the BCBCA, capital may be reduced by special resolution or court order. A court order is required if the realizable value of the corporation's assets would, after the reduction of capital, be less than the aggregate of its liabilities.

Under the OBCA, capital may be reduced by special resolution but not if there are reasonable grounds for believing that, after the reduction, (i) the corporation would be unable to pay its liabilities as they become due; or (ii) the realizable value of the corporation's assets would be less than its liabilities.

Compulsory Acquisition

The OBCA provides a right of compulsory acquisition for an offeror that acquires 90% of the target securities pursuant to a take-over bid or issuer bid, other than securities held at the date of the bid by or on behalf of the offeror.

The BCBCA provides a substantively similar right although there are differences in the procedures and process. Unlike the OBCA, the BCBCA provides that where an offeror does not use the compulsory acquisition right when entitled to do so, a securityholder who did not accept the original offer may require the offeror to acquire the securityholder's securities on the same terms contained in the original offer.

Investigation/Appointment of Inspectors

Under the BCBCA, a corporation may appoint an inspector by special resolution. Shareholders holding at least 20% of the issued shares of a corporation may apply to the court for the appointment of an inspector. The court must consider whether there are reasonable grounds for believing there has been oppressive, unfairly prejudicial, fraudulent, unlawful or dishonest conduct.

Under the OBCA, shareholders can apply to the court for the appointment of an inspector. Unlike the BCBCA, the OBCA does not require an applicant to hold a specified number of shares.

DISCOVERY

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

FRAMEWORK AND MANDATE

1. Corporate Governance Framework

At Discovery (the “Company”), we believe strongly that good corporate governance is important to the Company’s long-term success and the protection of the interests of our many stakeholders.

The board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) has approved a set of corporate governance guidelines to promote the effective functioning of the Board and its committees (the “Committees”) and to set forth a common set of expectations as to how the Board and the Company should manage its affairs and perform its responsibilities. The Company has also adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that is applicable to all members of the Board (“Directors”), Officers (as defined below), Senior Management (as defined below), and employees of the Company.

Corporate policies have been implemented to address the Company’s Board and Management (as defined below) needs in conducting its business activities in an appropriate and effective manner, and to synchronize its governance practices with regulatory requirements.

The Company has formalized several Committees that assist the Board with its overall responsibilities. These Committees include the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee, the Health, Safety, Environment and Sustainability Committee, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, and the Technical Committee. The Audit Committee is required by the Company’s governing statute and its regulators, whereas the Compensation Committee, the Health, Safety, Environment and Sustainability Committee, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, and the Technical Committee deal with certain Board and Company matters. Each Committee has a charter outlining its main responsibilities.

The Company’s corporate governance practices comply with the national instruments of the Canadian Securities Administrators regarding corporate governance practices, including National Instrument 58-101 – “Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices”.

2. Mandate of the Board of Directors

The Board is responsible for establishing and maintaining a culture of integrity in the conduct of the affairs of the Company. The Board seeks to discharge this responsibility by satisfying itself as to the integrity of the Chair of the Board (the “Chair”), the Chief Executive Officer or President, as the case may be (“CEO”), the Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), the Chief Operating Officer (the “COO” and collectively with the CEO and CFO, the “Officers”), the Executive Vice Presidents (the “Executive VPs”), the Senior Vice Presidents (the “Senior VPs”) and all other Vice Presidents (the “VPs” and collectively with the Executive VPs and Senior VPs, “Senior Management” and collectively with the Officers, “Management”) and by overseeing and monitoring Management, the Board ensures that a culture of integrity is maintained.

Although Directors may be nominated by certain persons to bring special expertise or a point of view to Board deliberations, they are not chosen to represent a particular constituency. The best interests of the Company must be paramount at all times.

D-2


DISCOVERY

DUTIES OF THE DIRECTORS

The Board discharges its responsibilities directly and through the Committees. In addition to these regular and formalized committees, the Board may appoint ad-hoc committees periodically to address issues of a more short-term nature. The Board's primary roles are overseeing corporate performance and providing quality, depth and continuity of management to meet the Company's strategic objectives. In addition to the Board's primary roles of overseeing the affairs of the Company, principal duties include, but are not limited to the following categories:

Oversight of Management

  1. The Board has the responsibility for approving the appointment of the Officers and approving the compensation of Management of the Company following a review of the recommendations of the Compensation Committee.
  2. The Board has delegated authority to the CEO for the overall management of the Company, including strategy and operations to ensure the long-term success of the Company and to maximize shareholder value.
  3. The Board may, from time-to-time, delegate authority to the Officers, subject to specified limits. Matters which are outside the scope of the authority delegated to the Officers and material transactions are reviewed by and subject to the prior approval of the Board.
  4. The Board is responsible for monitoring the performance of Management.

Board Organization

  1. The Board retains the responsibility for managing its own affairs by giving its approval for its composition, the selection of the Chair, candidates nominated for election to the Board, Committee and Committee chair appointments, Committee charters and Management compensation.
  2. The Board may delegate to Board Committees matters it is responsible for, including the approval of compensation of the Board, Officers and Senior Management, the approval of interim financial results, the conduct of performance evaluations and oversight of internal controls systems, as well as safety matters. However, the Board retains its oversight function and ultimate responsibility for these matters and all other delegated responsibilities.

Composition

  1. The Board believes that better corporate governance is promoted when a board of directors is made up of highly qualified individuals i) from diverse backgrounds who reflect the changing population demographics of the markets in which the Company operates, ii) of each gender, and iii) reflective of the talent available with the required expertise. When considering recommendations for nomination to the Board, the Board shall consider:

a) diversity criteria including gender, age, ethnicity and geographic background; and
b) candidates who are highly qualified based on their experience, functional expertise, and personal skills and qualities.

Notwithstanding this, the Company does not support the adoption of quotas to support its belief in the importance of diversity. In addition to the criteria set out above and elsewhere herein, employees and Directors of the Company will be recruited and promoted based upon their ability and contributions.


DISCOVERY

  1. The Directors shall consist of persons who possess skills and competencies in areas that are:

a) necessary to enable the Board and Board Committees to properly discharge their duties and responsibilities; and
b) relevant to the Company's activities.

  1. At least two-thirds of the Directors shall be individuals who are "independent" in accordance with applicable securities laws and stock exchange policies. Subject to the size and operations of the Company, the Board is committed to setting measurable objectives for the long-term goal of improving gender representation across all levels of the organization.

  2. The Board does not believe it should establish term limits for directors as term limits could result in the loss of Directors who have been able to develop, over a period of time, significant insight into the Company and its operations and an institutional memory that benefits the Board as well as the Company and its stakeholders. The Board, on its initiative and on an exceptional basis, may exercise discretion to introduce maximum terms or mandatory retirement where it considers that such a limitation would benefit the Company and its stakeholders.

  3. Subject to the limitations herein, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will annually (and more frequently, if appropriate) recommend candidates to the Board for election or appointment as Directors, taking into account the Board's conclusions with respect to the appropriate size and composition of the Board and Board Committees, the competencies and skills required to enable the Board and Board Committees to properly discharge their responsibilities, and the competencies and skills of the current Board.

  4. No Director should serve on the board of a regulatory body with oversight of the Company. No two Directors should sit on the same board of another company without the Board's prior approval. Each Director should, when considering membership on another board or committee, make every effort to ensure that such membership will not impair the Director's time and availability for his or her commitment to the Company as well as his or her ability to exercise their fiduciary duties as directors. Without the prior approval of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee: (i) the Chair shall not serve on more than two external company boards., and (ii) no Director shall serve on more than two external audit committees.

Directors should advise the chair of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the CEO of the Company before accepting membership on other public company boards of directors or any audit committee or other significant committee assignment on any other board of directors, or establishing other significant relationships with businesses, institutions, governmental units or regulatory entities, particularly those that may result in significant time commitments or a change in the director's relationship to the Company.

  1. Without prior approval of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee: (i) the CEO of the Company should not serve on the board of any other public company, and (ii) no Officer shall serve on more than one additional external public company board.

  2. The Board approves the final choice of candidates.

  3. The shareholders of the Company elect the Directors annually.

  4. The Corporate Secretary of the Company shall be Secretary of the Board.

  5. Directors are expected to comply with the Company's Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.
