The management information circular (the “Circular”) describes the business to be conducted at the Meeting and also describes the Corporation’s governance practices. A holder of Subordinate Voting Shares and the Super Voting Share of record at the close of business on April 3, 2025 will be entitled to vote at the Meeting.

The Meeting will be conducted in a virtual only format, which will be conducted via live audio webcast.

A shareholder who wishes to appoint a person other than the management nominees identified on the form of proxy or voting instruction form (including a non-registered shareholder who wishes to appoint themselves to attend) must carefully follow the instructions in the Circular and on their form of proxy or voting instruction form. These instructions include the additional step of registering such proxyholder with our transfer agent, Computershare Investor Services Inc., after submitting their form of proxy or voting instruction form. Failure to register the proxyholder with our transfer agent will result in the proxyholder not receiving an invite code to vote in the Meeting and only being able to attend as a guest.

The Notice-and-Access Provisions are a set of rules developed by the Canadian Securities Administrators that allow issuers to post electronic versions of proxy-related materials on-line, via the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval (“SEDAR+”) and one other website, rather than mailing paper copies of such materials to securityholders.

  • 5 -

Non-Registered Holders

Only registered holders of Subordinate Voting Shares and the Super Voting Share, or the persons they appoint as their proxies, are permitted to attend and vote at the Meeting. However, in many cases, Subordinate Voting Shares beneficially owned by a holder (a “Non-Registered Holder”) are registered either:

(A) in the name of an intermediary (an “Intermediary”) that the Non-Registered Holder deals with, in respect of the Subordinate Voting Shares, such as, among others, banks, trust companies, securities dealers or brokers and trustees or administrators of self-administered registered savings plans, registered retirement income funds, registered education savings plans and similar plans; or

(B) in the name of a clearing agency (such as CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc.) of which the Intermediary is a participant.

Subordinate Voting Shares held in the name of an Intermediary or clearing agency can only be voted upon the instructions of the Non-Registered Holder. Without specific instructions, the Intermediary

  • 6 -

is prohibited from voting the Subordinate Voting Shares. Therefore, each Non-Registered Holder should ensure that voting instructions are communicated to the appropriate person well in advance of the Meeting.

Applicable Canadian regulatory policy requires Intermediaries to seek voting instructions from Non-Registered Holders in advance of shareholders' meetings. In Canada, many Intermediaries delegate responsibility for obtaining instructions from clients to Broadridge Financial Solutions Inc.

Generally, a Non-Registered Holder will receive either a voting instruction form or, less frequently, a form of proxy. The purpose of these forms is to permit Non-Registered Holders to direct the voting of the Subordinate Voting Shares they beneficially own. Non-Registered Holders should follow the procedures set out below, in addition, if applicable, to the procedures set out below under “Voting at the Meeting — Appointment of a Third Party as Proxy”, depending on the type of form they receive:

1) Voting Instruction Form. In most cases, a Non-Registered Holder will receive, as part of the meeting materials, a voting instruction form. If the Non-Registered Holder does not wish to attend and vote at the Meeting (or have another person attend and vote on the holder’s behalf), but wishes to direct the voting of the Subordinate Voting Shares they beneficially own, the voting instruction form must be submitted by mail, telephone or over the Internet in accordance with the directions on the form. If a Non-Registered Holder wishes to attend and vote at the Meeting (or have another person attend and vote on the Non-Registered Holder’s behalf), the Non-Registered Holder must complete, sign and return the voting instruction form in accordance with the directions provided; or

2) Form of Proxy. Less frequently, a Non-Registered Holder will receive, as part of the meeting materials, a form of proxy that has already been signed by the Intermediary (typically by facsimile, stamped signature) which is restricted as to the number of Subordinate Voting Shares beneficially owned by the Non-Registered Holder but which is otherwise uncompleted. If the Non-Registered Holder does not wish to attend and vote at the Meeting (or have another person attend and vote on the Non-Registered Holder’s behalf), but wishes to direct the voting of the Subordinate Voting Shares they beneficially own, the Non-Registered Holder must complete the form of proxy and submit it to Computershare as described above. If a Non-Registered Holder wishes to attend and vote at the Meeting (or have another person attend and vote on the holder’s behalf), the Non-Registered Holder must strike out the persons named in the proxy and insert the Non-Registered Holder (or such other person’s) name in the blank space provided and submit it to Computershare as described above.

In either case, Non-Registered Holders should carefully follow the instructions of their Intermediaries, including those regarding when and where the proxy or the voting instruction form is to be delivered. In addition, if applicable, Non-Registered Holders should follow the procedures set out below under “Voting at the Meeting — Appointment of a Third Party as Proxy”.

A Non-Registered Holder may revoke a voting instruction form or a waiver of the right to receive meeting materials and to vote given to an Intermediary at any time by written notice to the Intermediary, except that an Intermediary is not required to act on a revocation of a voting instruction form or of a waiver of the right to receive materials and to vote that is not received by the Intermediary at least seven days prior to the Meeting.

Exercise of Discretion by Proxies

Subordinate Voting Shares and the Super Voting Share represented by properly executed proxies in favour of the persons named in the form of proxy will be voted on any ballot that may be called for and, where the person whose proxy is solicited specifies a choice with respect to the matters identified in the proxy, the shares will be voted or withheld from voting in accordance with the specifications so made. Where shareholders have properly executed proxies in favour of the persons named in the form of proxy and have not specified in the form of proxy the manner in which the named proxies are required to vote the shares represented thereby, such shares will be voted in favour of the passing of the matters set forth in the Notice. The form of proxy confers discretionary authority with respect to amendments or variations to the matters identified in the Notice and with respect to other matters that may properly come before the Meeting. At the date hereof, management of the Corporation knows of no such amendments, variations or other matters to come before the Meeting. However, if any other matters which at present are not known to management of the Corporation should properly come before the Meeting, the proxy will be voted on such matters in accordance with the best judgment of the named proxies.

VOTING AT THE MEETING

General

Registered shareholders may vote at the Meeting by completing a ballot online during the Meeting, as further described below under “How do I Attend and Participate at the Meeting?”.

Non-Registered Holders who have not duly appointed themselves as proxyholder will not be able to vote at the Meeting but will be able to participate as a guest and ask questions. This is because the Corporation and Computershare, do not have a record of the Non-Registered Holders, and, as a result, will have no knowledge of your shareholdings or entitlement to vote unless you appoint yourself as proxyholder.

If you are a Non-Registered Holder and wish to vote at the Meeting, you have to appoint yourself as proxyholder by inserting your own name in the space provided on the voting instruction form sent to you and you must follow all of the applicable instructions, including the deadline, provided by your Intermediary. See “Appointment of a Third Party as Proxy” and “How do I Attend and Participate at the Meeting?” below.

If you are a U.S. beneficial shareholder, to attend and vote at the Meeting, you must first obtain a valid legal proxy from your broker, bank or other agent and then register in advance to attend the Meeting. Follow the instructions from your broker or bank included with these proxy materials, or contact your broker or bank to request a legal proxy form. After first obtaining a valid legal proxy from your broker, bank or other agent, to then register to attend the Meeting, you must submit a copy of your legal proxy to Computershare. Requests for registration should be directed by mail to the attention of the Proxy Department of Computershare Investor Services Inc. at 100 University Avenue, 8th Floor, North Tower, Toronto, Ontario, M5J 2Y1 or by email at [email protected]. Requests for registration must be labeled as “Legal Proxy” and be received no later than May 9, 2025 by 8:30 a.m. (Eastern Time).

By doing so, you are instructing your Intermediary to appoint you as proxyholder. It is important that you comply with the signature and return instructions provided by your Intermediary.

COMPENSATION OF EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Objectives of the Corporation’s Executive Compensation Program

The primary objective of the Corporation’s executive compensation program is to attract and retain highly skilled executives required for the success of the Corporation and to reward and retain executives who create long-term value for our shareholders.

The Governance and Human Resources Committee (“GHR Committee”) is responsible for making recommendations to the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board” or the “Board of Directors”) with respect to the compensation for the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation and the select senior leaders, being (i) the president of each of the Corporation’s two groups formed to operate the Corporation’s businesses within each group company (the “Group Presidents”), (ii) the group leaders who


oversee sub-groups of businesses (“Sub-Group Leaders”); and the head of each business unit within the Corporation (“Business Unit Leaders”).

The Corporation’s executive compensation program consists of base salary and annual incentive compensation. The annual executive incentive compensation is paid by way of a cash bonus, although a portion of the cash bonus is required to be used to purchase Subordinate Voting Shares.

Total compensation for each senior leader is designed to be competitive and is determined based on periodic reviews and comparisons of both base salary and total compensation against compensation data of Canadian, U.S. and European public companies with annual revenues, types of business and market capitalizations similar to the Corporation, and the performance metrics which are important to the Corporation, namely return on invested capital and revenue growth.

Base Salary

Providing a market competitive base salary is necessary to attract new talent as required, and it assists in retaining skilled executive talent. The base salary for the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of the Corporation is approved by the GHR Committee taking into account the individual’s responsibilities and skills.

All executive salaries are reviewed annually by the GHR Committee on the basis of the above criteria and adjusted accordingly.

Annual Incentive Bonus

The objective of our annual incentive bonus is to reward employees for working towards our goal of increasing shareholder value. We believe that shareholder value is created by managing two financial components over the long term: profitability and growth. As such, our corporate bonus plan, includes the following.

The ROIC Plan is based upon return on invested capital (“ROIC”) (ROIC is calculated by dividing net income for bonus purposes for the year by the Average Invested Capital for the period) and net revenue growth. “Average Invested Capital” represents the average capital that Lumine has invested in its acquisitions. Net income for bonus purposes is calculated by making a number of adjustments to net income. The principal adjustments to net income include adjustments for the impact of deferred income taxes, redeemable preferred and special securities expense, and amortization of intangible assets. The Corporation measures revenue growth by looking at the year-over-year increase in net revenues (which is calculated by subtracting all third-party cost of goods sold and flow-through expenses from gross revenues). Net income for bonus purposes, Average Invested Capital, and net revenue growth are not measures defined by International Financial Reporting Standards.

An individual’s annual incentive bonus is calculated as follows:

Base salary x company performance factor x Individual factor

Individual factors for the CEO, and other senior leaders are set by the GHR Committee taking into account the individuals’ responsibilities and skills.

The company performance factor is determined by reference to net revenue growth and ROIC, as defined above. A ‘risk free’ rate of return established by the Board (currently 5%) is netted from the ROIC. If the ROIC does not exceed the risk-free rate of return, then there is no bonus payment.

  • 12 -

In considering the implications of the risks associated with the Corporation’s annual incentive bonus structure, the GHR Committee was satisfied that the counterbalance between ROIC above the risk-free rate and net revenue growth and the requirement to invest 75% of their after-tax incentive bonus into Subordinate Voting Shares mitigates the risk that a Named Executive Officer (as defined below) would take inappropriate or excessive risks in respect of the Corporation’s operations.

Although the Board may, at its discretion, increase or decrease the amount of annual incentive bonus awarded to a Named Executive Officer in a given year, it did not exercise such discretion in respect of the most recently completed fiscal year.

Investment of Annual Incentive Bonus in Lumine Shares

The Corporation’s senior leadership team is required to invest 75% of their after-tax incentive bonus into Subordinate Voting Shares. The shares are subject to a 5-year vesting period, with one-third vesting in each of years three, four and five. As of the date hereof, the Corporation does not have a formal policy that restricts the purchase by the Named Executive Officers, directors, or other employees of financial instruments (including prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars or units of exchange funds) that are designed to hedge or offset a decrease in the market value of equity securities granted as compensation or held, directly or indirectly, by the Named Executive Officer, director, or employee.

Enhanced Bonus

The Board may also, at its discretion, award an enhanced bonus (the “Enhanced Bonus”) based on the same criteria as is applicable to an incentive bonus.

In 2024, the Corporation awarded the Enhanced Bonus for the recipients’ continued service to the Corporation. The Enhanced Bonus includes a requirement to invest 100% of the after tax Enhanced Bonus into Subordinate Voting Shares whereby the shares are subject to a 5-year vesting period, at one third per year increments in years three, four and five; and if employment is terminated, any unvested shares distributed will be required to be sold back to the Corporation at $0.01 per share (“Restriction”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of death or resignation due to the employee’s ill-health or that of a family member rendering the employee incapable of continuing full-time employment, then the Restriction shall not apply.

Summary Compensation Table

The following table provides a summary of the compensation earned during 2024 and 2023 by the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and the Corporation’s other most highly compensated executive officer based on total compensation for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 (collectively, the “Named Executive Officers”).

Instead, Brian Beattie is compensated directly by Volaris Group Inc. (“Volaris”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of CSI, in his role as Chief Financial Officer of Volaris.

  • 13 -

The following table also provides a summary of the compensation of each of the non-employee directors during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. Non-employee directors are paid C$75,000 per annum, plus C$25,000 per annum for each committee of the Board (“Committee”) of which they are a member. Compensation of the non-employee directors is determined by the Board of Directors, based on the compensation paid to non-employee directors of CSI, and is reviewed on an annual basis. The fees are payable in cash; however, 50% of the after-tax portion of such fees must be used by the non-employee directors to purchase Subordinate Voting Shares on the open market, subject to any exceptions granted¹. The Subordinate Voting Shares are required to be held in escrow for a minimum average period of four years. The non-employee directors will also be reimbursed for all out-of-pocket expenses incurred in their capacities as members of the Board. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, the non-employee directors rendered no additional professional services, directly or indirectly, to the Corporation.

Shareholders Agreement, Services Agreement and governance matters related to CSI and the Majority Rollover Shareholders

CSI, Trapeze² and the Majority Rollover Shareholders (collectively, the "Significant Shareholders") have entered into a shareholders agreement (the "Shareholders Agreement") with the Corporation dated December 12, 2022. The Shareholders Agreement includes a number of contractual provisions which stipulate the exercise by the Significant Shareholders and the Corporation, as applicable, of certain rights and obligations in respect of the governance of the Corporation.

Pursuant to the Shareholders Agreement, CSI, through Trapeze and the Majority Rollover Shareholders are afforded certain approval rights with respect to the Corporation as more fully set forth in the Shareholders Agreement. These rights include, but are not limited to, the following.

The board of directors of the Corporation will consist of seven directors. Trapeze will have the right to nominate six of such individuals and appoint two observers to the board of directors of the Corporation for so long as CSI holds a 25% fully-diluted interest in the Corporation. The Majority Rollover Shareholders will have the right to nominate one of the seven directors for so long as the Majority Rollover Shareholders hold a 4% fully-diluted interest in the Corporation. Unless otherwise indicated, references to "fully-diluted" in this section include the conversion of the Super Voting Share into a Subordinate Voting Share. As a result, CSI and the Majority Rollover Shareholders will, by majority vote, maintain governance over certain management, administration, and growth of the Corporation.

² Trapeze Software ULC ("Trapeze") is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of CSI.


  • 21 -

A quorum for meetings of the board of directors of the Company will require the presence of at least 80% of the directors. If a quorum is not met, such meeting shall be re-scheduled for a time no later than 48 hours from the time of the original meeting and the quorum for such meeting shall be 50%.

Certain actions in respect of the Corporation require the unanimous consent of the board of directors of the Corporation, including a transfer of the Super Voting Share to a permitted holder, payment of fees by the Corporation to CSI in respect of services provided by CSI to the Corporation, other than as set forth in the Services Agreement, the issuance of additional equity interests of the Corporation for a period of five years from the date of the Shareholders Agreement and certain non-arm’s length transactions among the Corporation and members of CSI, which are material and outside the ordinary course of business.

Certain actions in respect of the Corporation require the consent of a majority of the board of directors of the Corporation, including: the acquisition of companies or certain assets equal to or greater than $20 million per transaction; the disposition of certain companies or assets equal to or greater than $2 million; the entering into, or termination of existing, material joint ventures; investments in new business initiatives at costs that exceed $1 million; the termination of certain key personnel; the determination of remuneration of certain personnel; the termination of certain groups of personnel, or establishing new pension plans or granting new pension rights; subject to certain exceptions, the granting of certain security; other than in the ordinary course of business, the procurement of any performance, payment or warranty bonds of the Corporation with an annual value equal to or greater than $2 million, which have not been approved in advance by the CEO of the Corporation; subject to certain exceptions, the incurrence of debt or guarantees other than in the ordinary course of business; other than dividends paid by subsidiaries of the Corporation in the ordinary course of business, the declaration and payment of discretionary dividends; subject to certain exceptions, dealings with registered property that has a value in excess of $1 million; and lending or borrowing in excess of $100,000, other than in the ordinary course of business.

For so long as Trapeze holds the Super Voting Share, the approval of the board of directors of CSI is required for any acquisitions by the Corporation of the equity interest in or the assets of any entity, where the total purchase price of the acquisition exceeds $100 million. Such approval, if not granted, may limit the Corporation’s ability to complete a transaction, or an acquisition that may otherwise be beneficial to shareholders. In addition, pursuant to the Shareholders Agreement, CSI, through Trapeze, and the Majority Rollover Shareholders will each have the right, in certain circumstances, to nominate directors for election to the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

The parties to the Shareholders Agreement acknowledged and agreed that CSI will continue to consider possible acquisition opportunities in the ordinary course of its business, and may, from time to time, recommend or allocate such acquisition opportunities to the Corporation. CSI will have discretion, acting reasonably and in good faith, to determine the suitability of such opportunities for and to allocate such opportunities among the Corporation and the other operating groups owned or controlled by CSI, as it deems appropriate. The parties acknowledged that the question of whether a particular acquisition opportunity is suitable or appropriate for the Corporation is highly subjective and will be made at CSI’s discretion based on various factors. If CSI determines that an acquisition opportunity is not suitable or appropriate for the Corporation, it or one of its operating groups may still pursue such opportunity.

CSI, through Trapeze, has certain rights and influence over the Corporation under the Shareholders Agreement and as the indirect holder of the Super Voting Share. CSI also provides certain services to the Corporation pursuant to the Services Agreement. See “Compensation Discussion and Analysis – Services Agreement”. There is no guarantee that the Corporation will continue to benefit from this relationship with CSI in the future. There can also be no assurance that CSI will continue to indirectly hold the Super Voting Share. The Corporation has established protocols with CSI to provide guidelines for the allocation of certain transaction opportunities, which may limit the ability of the Corporation to compete with CSI and CSI’s


other subsidiaries for such transaction opportunities. See “Interests of Informed Persons in Material Transactions”.

Certain directors and officers of the Corporation are also directors and/or officers of CSI and/or its affiliates. As such, potential conflicts of interest could arise between the Corporation and its directors and officers from time to time, including in respect of matters related to the Shareholders Agreement and the Services Agreement to which CSI and/or its affiliates are a party. If any such material conflicts of interest arise, they will be handled in accordance with the process described under the heading “Ethical Business Conduct”.

The above summary of key terms of the Shareholders Agreement and the Services Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the provisions of the Shareholders Agreement and the Services Agreement, copies of which has been filed with the Canadian securities regulatory authorities and are available at www.sedarplus.ca.

SCHEDULE “B”
NATIONAL INSTRUMENT 58-101
DISCLOSURE OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRACTICES

  1. Board of Directors

The board of directors of the Corporation (the “Board of Directors” or the “Board”) is currently composed of seven members. Lucie Laplante, Paul Cowling, and Laurie Schultz⁴ are independent according to the definition of “independence” set out in National Instrument 58-101 — Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices as it applies to the Board.

The Board facilitates its exercise of independent supervision over the Corporation’s management through frequent discussions with management and quarterly meetings of the Board, including in camera sessions at which members of the Corporation’s management are not present. In addition, the Audit Committee and the GHR Committee, consist of a majority of independent directors, which further facilitates independent supervision over the Corporation’s management.

Pursuant to the Shareholders Agreement, CSI, through Trapeze, its indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, and the Majority Rollover Shareholders are afforded certain approval rights with respect to the Corporation as more fully set forth under the heading “Statement of Corporate Governance Practices – Shareholders Agreement, Services Agreement and governance matters related to CSI and the Majority Rollover Shareholders” in the Management Information Circular to which this Schedule “B” forms a part.

B-1


members of senior management are and will continue to be available to Board members to discuss the Corporation's business and assist in the orientation and education of Board members as required.

As part of the orientation process, new Board members are provided with copies of the Corporation's relevant financial data and have the opportunity to attend management meetings.

The Board does not formally provide continuing education to its directors; however, the directors are experienced members, the majority of whom are or have been directors on boards of other companies. The Board of Directors relies on professional assistance when considered necessary in order to be educated or updated on a particular topic.

Each nominated Board candidate is responsible for ensuring that it meets the following criteria: (i) it possesses the ability to perform its duties as detailed in the Board mandate; and, if an independent director (ii) is free from any conflict of interest such as serving as an employee or director of (a) any organization presently providing a significant level of service to the Corporation, (b) institutions engaged in commercial banking, underwriting, law, or management consulting, or (c) any substantial customer of the Corporation.

3. Ethical Business Conduct

The Corporation has adopted a written code of conduct and ethics that outlines what behavior is/is not tolerated. The code of conduct applies to all directors, officers and employees of the Corporation and its subsidiaries. In addition, the Corporation has established a whistleblower policy which outlines the procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints regarding accounting, internal accounting control or auditing matters as well as other issues.

Under the Business Corporation Act (Ontario) (the "OBCA"), to which the Corporation is subject, a director or officer of the Corporation must disclose to the Corporation, the nature and extent of any interest that he or she has in a material contract or material transaction, whether made or proposed, with the Corporation, if the director or officer: (a) is a party to the contract or transaction; (b) is a director or an officer, or an individual acting in a similar capacity, of a party to the contract or transaction; or (c) has a material interest in a party to the contract or transaction.

4. Nomination of Directors

The Board consists of seven directors. CSI has the right to nominate six members of the Board for so long as CSI holds a 25% fully-diluted interest in the Corporation. However CSI, through its indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary, Trapeze Software ULC ("Trapeze"), has delivered an undertaking to the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") that it will not exercise its nomination right in respect of two of such individuals, who will be independent according to the definition of "independence" set out in National Instrument 58-101 – Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices, for so long as Trapeze remains a control person of the Corporation (as such term is defined in the policies of the TSXV). The Majority Rollover Shareholders have the right to nominate one member of the Board for so long as the Majority Rollover Shareholders hold a 4% fully-diluted interest in the Corporation.

In addition, as long as the foregoing ownership interest is maintained by CSI, CSI will also have the right to appoint two observers to the board of directors of the Corporation.

B-2


The Board of Directors has delegated to the GHR Committee the ability to recommend potential new candidates for Board nomination in the event of a vacancy on the Board and, as required, propose such nominees to the Board.

5. Compensation

The Board periodically reviews the remuneration of directors and makes adjustments where considered necessary. The GHR Committee considers responsibilities, skills and competitive compensation in determining remuneration. With respect to the compensation of the Corporation’s executives, see “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” in the Management Information Circular to which this Schedule “B” forms a part.

The Board of Directors has established the GHR Committee whose primary role and responsibility concerns human resources and compensation policies and processes, including:

  • Ensuring that the Corporation’s compensation programs balance the needs of shareholders and employees;
  • Annually reviewing and approving corporate goals and objectives relevant to CEO compensation and evaluate the CEO’s performance in light of those corporate goals and objectives, and determine the CEO’s compensation based on this evaluation; and
  • Monitoring the Corporation’s succession plans.

Corporate objectives are established periodically by the Board of Directors. Executive performance is assessed at least annually by the GHR Committee against those objectives.

6. Other Board Committees

The Board may at its discretion establish committees (in addition to the Audit Committee and the GHR Committee) and delegate some of its responsibilities and powers to its committees. The Board may form other committees at its discretion and currently does not have any other committees in place, other than the Investment Committee, as described below. Each committee will operate under a written mandate, approved by the Board.

The Board of Directors has established an Investment Committee, in accordance with the Shareholders Agreement, to: (a) review and approve potential and active transactions on an on-demand basis; and (b) oversee acquisition performance, including post-acquisition reviews when applicable. The members of the Investment Committee are David Nyland, Mark Miller, Brian Beattie, and Eric Mathewson.

7. Assessments

Each Committee reviews and assesses the adequacy of its mandate on a periodic basis and recommends any proposed changes to the Board for approval. The Board in conjunction with the CEO periodically reviews and assesses the effectiveness of the Board as a whole, the membership of the Board Committees, the mandates and activities of each Committee and the contribution of individual directors. Feedback is obtained from members of the Board and the various Committees on an informal basis, which the Board believes is sufficient to address any changes that may be necessary or desirable.
