NOTICE OF ANNUAL AND SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

As a result of the emergence of COVID-19, and in light of limits on larger gatherings and our concern for the health and safety of our employees and shareholders, our annual and special general meeting of shareholders will be held as both an in-person and teleconference meeting. A teleconference meeting format is being adopted to enfranchise and give all shareholders an equal opportunity to participate at the Meeting regardless of their geographic location or other particular constraints, circumstances or risks they may be facing as a result of COVID-19. Shareholders will be entitled to physically attend the meeting in person, but are encouraged to participate through teleconference. Important details about the meeting and how shareholders can participate via teleconference are set out in this Management Information Circular and the accompanying proxy materials.
