  6. The undersigned understands that if the aggregate purchase price for the Shares validly tendered, and not withdrawn, pursuant to Auction Tenders at Auction Prices at or below the Purchase Price and Purchase Price Tenders would result in an aggregate purchase price exceeding $7,000,000, then such deposited Shares will be purchased as follows: (i) first, the Company will purchase all Shares tendered at or below the Purchase Price by Odd Lot Holders at the Purchase Price; and (ii) second, the Company will purchase at the Purchase Price on a pro rata basis according to the number of Shares deposited or deemed to be deposited at a price equal to or less than the Purchase Price by the depositing Shareholders, less the number of Shares purchased from Odd Lot Holders.

It is further acknowledged and understood that the undersigned shall not be entitled to receive any consideration with respect to the Deposited Shares other than the consideration to which the undersigned is entitled to.

5


(Canada) (the "Tax Act"), or any provision of any applicable federal, provincial, territorial, state, local or foreign tax law, and remit such deduction or withholding amount to the appropriate government entity. To the extent that amounts are deducted or withheld, such deducted or withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of the Offer as having been paid to the Shareholder to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid, provided that such deducted or withheld amounts are actually remitted to the appropriate government entity.

  1. All payments will be made in Canadian Dollars, unless the Shareholder deposits Shares with the Depositary and elects to receive payment in United States Dollars by checking the box in Box 2 in this Amended Letter of Transmittal. The amount payable in currencies other than Canadian Dollars will be determined based upon the exchange rate set forth under the heading "2. Purchase Price - Currency" in the Offer to Purchase.

  2. The original certificate(s) described above is enclosed (unless such certificate(s) for Shares have previously been submitted to the Depositary) and the registered Shareholder irrevocably deposits the abovementioned original certificate(s) for the Deposited Shares in exchange for the consideration to which such holder is entitled pursuant to the Offer and Circular. If you previously submitted a letter of transmittal (in its previous form) with your certificate(s) for Shares in respect of a tender of your Shares and you wish to re-tender your Shares, you are required to submit this Amended Letter of Transmittal to the Depositary, which for the purpose of the Offer, will be deemed to be submitted with the share certificate currently held by the Depositary. The registered Shareholder transmits the original certificate(s) described above representing the Deposited Shares to be dealt with in accordance with this Amended Letter of Transmittal. Beneficial Shareholders should contact their intermediary (i.e. broker, investment dealer, trust company, bank or other registered holder) for instructions and assistance in receiving the consideration for their Shares.

  3. This Amended Letter of Transmittal and the Offer will be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein.

☐ An Auction Tender (Please complete Block B)
☐ A Purchase Price Tender

Check the appropriate box to indicate an Auction Tender price (prices are in increments of $0.10). Check only one box. If no box is checked, there is no proper deposit of Shares for purposes of an Auction Tender and the Shares tendered will be deemed to be tendered pursuant to a Purchase Price Tender.

☐ $5.20
☐ $5.30
☐ $5.40
☐ $5.50

(a) This Amended Letter of Transmittal (or a manually signed facsimile thereof) together with accompanying certificate(s) (unless such certificate(s) for Shares have previously been submitted to the Depositary) representing the Deposited Shares, if applicable, must be received by the Depositary at its office specified on the back page hereof at or prior to the Expiration Date, being 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on May 15, 2025, unless the Offer is further extended or withdrawn or unless the procedure for guaranteed delivery set out in Instruction 2 below is employed.

(b) The method used to deliver this Amended Letter of Transmittal and any accompanying certificate(s) representing Deposited Shares is at the option and risk of the holder, and delivery will be deemed effective only when such documents are actually received by the Depositary at its office specified on the back page hereof. The Company recommends that the necessary documentation be hand delivered to the Depositary, at its office specified on the back page hereof, and a receipt obtained; otherwise the use of registered mail with return receipt requested, properly insured, is recommended. Shareholders whose Shares are registered in the name of a stockbroker, investment dealer, bank, trust company or other nominee should contact that nominee for assistance in depositing those Shares.

2. Procedure for Guaranteed Delivery

If a Shareholder wishes to deposit Shares pursuant to the Offer and the Shareholder is not able to deliver the required Amended Letter of Transmittal together with the certificate(s) representing such Shares, if applicable, and all other required documents to the Depositary at or prior to the Expiration Date, such Shares may nevertheless be deposited provided that all of the following conditions are met:

(a) such a deposit is made by or through an Eligible Institution (as defined below);

(b) a Amended Notice of Guaranteed Delivery (printed on green paper) or a manually executed facsimile thereof, in each case properly completed and duly executed, together with a guarantee by an Eligible Institution in the form set forth in such Amended Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, is received by the Depositary at or prior to the Expiration Date at its Toronto office as set forth in the Amended Notice of Guaranteed Delivery (by hand, facsimile transmission or mail); and

The Amended Notice of Guaranteed Delivery (printed on green paper) may be delivered by hand or transmitted by facsimile or mail to the Depositary at its office in Toronto, Ontario and must include a guarantee by an Eligible Institution in the manner set forth in the Amended Notice of Guaranteed Delivery.

This preference will not be available unless Block C, "Odd Lots", is completed. Partial tenders will not qualify for this preference. This preference is not available to holders of 100 or more Shares even if holders have separate share certificates for fewer than 100 Shares or hold fewer than 100 Shares in different accounts.

The Company will pay any stock transfer taxes with respect to the transfer and sale of Deposited Shares to the Company by the registered owner pursuant to the Offer and Circular. If, however, the certificate(s) for Deposited Shares not deposited or purchased are to be registered in the name of any person other than the registered holder, or if certificate(s) for Deposited Shares are registered in the name of any person other than the person signing this Amended Letter of Transmittal, the amount of any stock transfer taxes (whether imposed on the registered holder or such other person) payable on account of the transfer to such person will be payable by the seller and may result in a deduction from the purchase price unless satisfactory evidence of the payment of such taxes or an exemption therefrom is submitted.

13. U.S. Shareholders and Form W-9

United States federal income tax law generally requires that a U.S. Shareholder who receives cash in exchange for Shares provide the Depositary with his or her correct TIN, which, in the case of a holder of Shares who is an individual, is generally the individual's social security number. If the Depositary is not provided with the correct TIN or an adequate basis for an exemption, as the case may be, such holder may be subject to penalties imposed by the IRS and backup withholding in an amount equal to 24% of the gross proceeds of any payment received hereunder. Backup withholding is not an additional United States income tax. Any amounts withheld from payments to you under the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a credit against your United States federal income tax liability and any excess tax may be refundable, provided the required information is timely furnished to the Internal Revenue Service.

To prevent backup withholding, each U.S. Shareholder, or person acting on behalf of a U.S. Shareholder, must furnish a correct TIN by properly completing the Form W-9 set out in this document, which requires such holder to certify under penalty of perjury: (1) that the TIN provided is correct (or that such holder is awaiting a TIN); (2) that (i) the holder is exempt from backup withholding; (ii) the holder has not been notified by the IRS that he, she or it is subject to backup withholding as a result of a failure to report all interest or dividends; or (iii) the IRS has notified the holder that he is no longer subject to backup withholding; and (3) that the holder is a U.S. person (including a U.S. resident alien).

Certain U.S. Shareholders are exempt from the backup withholding and reporting requirements. To prevent possible erroneous backup withholding, a U.S. Shareholder exempt from backup withholding must enter its correct TIN in Part 1 of Form W-9, write "Exempt" in Part 2 of such form, and sign and date the form. See the W-9 Guidelines that follow these instructions.

If a U.S. Shareholder does not have a TIN, such holder should: (i) consult the enclosed W-9 Guidelines for instructions on applying for a TIN; (ii) write "Applied For" in the space for the TIN in Part 1 of the Form W-9; and (iii) sign and date the Form W-9 and the Certificate of Awaiting TIN set out in this document. In such case, the Depositary may withhold 24% of the gross

16


proceeds of any payment made to such holder prior to the time a properly certified TIN is provided to the Depositary, and if the Depositary is not provided with a TIN within sixty (60) days, such amounts will be paid over to the IRS.

If the Form W-9 is not applicable to a U.S. Shareholder because such holder is not a U.S. person for United States federal income tax purposes, such holder will instead need to submit an appropriate and properly completed IRS Form W-8 Certificate of Foreign status, signed under penalty of perjury. IRS Form W-8 (W-8BEN, W-8IMY or other applicable form) may be obtained from the Depositary.

A U.S. SHAREHOLDER WHO FAILS TO PROPERLY COMPLETE THE FORM W-9 SET OUT IN THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL OR, IF APPLICABLE, THE APPROPRIATE IRS FORM W-8, MAY BE SUBJECT TO BACKUP WITHHOLDING OF 24% OF THE GROSS PROCEEDS OF ANY PAYMENTS MADE TO SUCH HOLDER PURSUANT TO THE OFFER.

14. Jurisdiction of Residence

Each Shareholder depositing Shares to the Depositary must represent as to whether or not the Beneficial Owner is a non-resident of Canada for purposes of the Tax Act by completing Block H, "Jurisdiction of Residence".

15. U.S. Shareholders are advised that the Offer is subject to Regulation 14E (including, without limitation, Rule 14e-4 thereof) under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended

Each U.S. Shareholder depositing Shares to the Depositary is required to provide the Depositary with a correct U.S. taxpayer identification number ("TIN") (generally the Shareholder's social security number or federal employer identification number) and certain other information, on Form W-9, which is attached to this Amended Letter of Transmittal. Failure to timely provide a correct TIN on the form may subject the depositing Shareholder to U.S. federal backup withholding tax on the gross amount of any payments made to the U.S. Shareholder and, in certain cases, penalties.

U.S. Shareholders who are not a U.S. persons for U.S. federal income tax purposes, should complete the appropriate IRS Form W-8 to avoid backup withholding. If you require an IRS Form W-8, please contact the Depositary or download the appropriate IRS Form W-8 at www.irs.gov.
