Registered shareholders and formally appointed proxyholders who nonetheless wish to attend in person may be subject to health screening procedures at the entrance and will be asked, at a minimum, to socially distance themselves from others at the Meeting.

Shareholders and any other interested persons who are unable or not permitted to attend the Meeting in person have the opportunity to listen to the Meeting live through a live audio webcast. The details concerning the live audio webcast will be provided on FirstService’s website at www.firstservice.com prior to the Meeting. A recorded version of the Meeting webcast will also be made available on FirstService’s website following the Meeting.

FirstService reserves the right to take any additional precautionary measures it deems appropriate in relation to the Meeting in response to further developments in respect of the COVID-19 outbreak, including, if FirstService considers it necessary or advisable, hosting the Meeting solely by means of remote communication.
