In accordance with the Company’s articles and applicable company bylaws, a quorum of shareholders (or their proxies) will physically attend the meeting at Gensource Potash Corporation’s office at 1100-201-1st Avenue South, Saskatoon, SK., S7K 1J5. The Meeting is being held for the following purposes:

- to elect the directors of the Company for the ensuing year;
- to appoint the auditor of the Company for the ensuing year and to authorize the directors to fix the auditor’s remuneration;
- to consider, and if deemed advisable, pass a resolution approving the Company’s amended and restated stock option plan;
- to consider, and if deemed advisable, pass a resolution re-approving the Company’s shareholders rights plan;
- to consider, and if deemed advisable, pass a special resolution approving the continuance of the Company (the “Continuance”) out of the Province of Ontario under the provisions of the Business Corporation Act (Ontario) (“OBCA”) and into the Province of Saskatchewan under the provisions of The Business Corporations Act (Saskatchewan) (“SBCA”); and
- to transact such further and other business as may properly come before the Meeting or any adjournment or adjournments thereof.
TAKE NOTICE that pursuant to section 185 of the OBCA a registered holder of Common Shares may dissent in respect of the resolution approving the Continuance. If the Continuance is approved, dissenting shareholders who comply with the procedures set forth in the OBCA may be entitled to be paid the fair value of their Common Shares. The full text of s. 185 of the OBCA is set forth in Schedule “F” of the accompanying management information circular. Failure to comply strictly with the requirements set forth in s. 185 of the OBCA may result in the loss of any right to dissent.
The nature of the business to be transacted at the Meeting is described in further detail in the accompanying management information circular and the schedules thereto.
We are continuing to utilize “Notice and Access” to provide you with electronic access to our Circular and other meeting materials, rather than mailing paper copies. Electronic access of the circular is part of our commitment to reducing our environmental footprint as electronic delivery substantially reduces our printing and mailing costs, and has less environmental impact as it reduces materials, waste, and energy consumption.
The record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Meeting is April 7, 2022 (the “Record Date”). Shareholders of the Company whose names have been entered in the register of shareholders at the close of business on the Record Date will be entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Meeting.
A shareholder may attend the Meeting electronically or may be represented by proxy.
