Date of Information

All information contained in this information circular is as of May 13, 2025 unless otherwise stated.

Other Information

Additional information about Melcor Developments Ltd. (Melcor), including our annual information form and annual and quarterly reports, is available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

Forward-Looking Statements

In order to provide our investors with an understanding of our current results and future prospects, our public communications often include written or verbal forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements are disclosures regarding possible events, conditions, or results of operations that are based on assumptions about future economic conditions, courses of action and include future-oriented financial information.

This Management Information Circular (Circular) and other materials filed with the Canadian securities regulators contain statements that are forward-looking. These statements represent Melcor's intentions, plans, expectations, and beliefs and are based on our experience and our assessment of historical and future trends, and the application of key assumptions relating to future events and circumstances. Future-looking statements may involve, but are not limited to, comments with respect to our strategic initiatives for 2025 and beyond, future development plans and objectives, targets, expectations of the real estate, financing and economic environments, our financial condition or the results of or outlook of our operations.

By their nature, forward-looking statements require assumptions and involve risks and uncertainties related to the business and general economic environment, many beyond our control. There is significant risk that the predictions, forecasts, valuations, conclusions or projections we make will not prove to be accurate and that our actual results will be materially different from targets, expectations, estimates or intentions expressed in forward-looking statements. We caution readers of this document not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Assumptions about the performance of the Canadian and US economies and how this performance will affect Melcor's business are material factors we consider in determining our forward-looking statements. For additional information regarding material risks and assumptions, please see the discussion under "Business Environment & Risks" in our annual MD&A for the year ended December 31, 2024, which is incorporated by reference.

Readers should carefully consider these factors, as well as other uncertainties and potential events, and the inherent uncertainty of forward-looking statements. Except as may be required by law, we do not undertake to update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, made by the company or on its behalf.

General Information

Meeting

This management information circular (circular) provides shareholders with information to help make voting decisions at the Melcor annual meeting of shareholders (AGM or meeting) to be held on June 24, 2025.

Notice-and-Access

Melcor has elected to use notice-and-access rules which allow Melcor to post electronic versions of proxy-related materials online without mailing such documents directly to shareholders, provided that notice of such posting is sent to shareholders by mail.

All shareholders, except those who have previously requested to receive paper copies of Melcor's financial information, will receive only a notice-and-access notification and a voting instruction form. If you receive the notice and would like to receive a paper copy of our proxy-related materials, financial statements or MD&A, please follow the instructions under the heading Requesting Paper Copies.

All materials will be forwarded to shareholders at Melcor's expense.

We anticipate that notice-and-access will directly benefit Melcor through substantial reductions in postage and printing costs. We believe that notice-and-access is an environmentally responsible method of communicating with shareholders by reducing the large volume of paper documents generated by printing proxy-related materials.

Shareholders with questions about notice-and-access can contact us toll free:

Melcor Investor Relations: 1-855-673-6931

Odyssey Trust Company: 1-888-290-1175

By Phone: 1-855-673-6931

By Email: [email protected]

The annual material is also available electronically at: https://www.melcor.ca/2025AGM.

We estimate that shareholder requests for paper copies of the circular, financial statements and MD&A will need to be received prior to June 10, 2025 in order to have sufficient time to receive and review the materials requested and return the completed form of proxy by the due date described under Voting Instructions on page 7.

We do not intend to pay for intermediaries to forward proxy-related materials to objecting beneficial owners.

Registered and Beneficial Shareholders

You are a registered shareholder if your shares are held in your name and you have a share certificate.

You are a beneficial shareholder if your shares are held in the name of a nominee such as a bank, trust company, securities broker, trustee or other institution.

All references to shareholders in this circular and the accompanying notice of meeting and proxy form are to registered shareholders unless specifically stated otherwise. Where documents are stated to be available for review or inspection, such items will be shown upon request to a registered shareholder who produces proof of their identity.

Annual and Interim Reports

Shareholders who wish to receive paper copies of Melcor's interim and annual reports may fill out and return the Supplemental Mailings form enclosed with the notice package. You may also complete this form to receive email notice of the availability of electronic files.

If you are a Beneficial Shareholder, you made an election to receive or not receive company information through your Intermediary. If you wish to change your election, you will need to do so through your intermediary.

> We maintain perpetual shareholder mailing lists for both electronic notices and quarterly and annual hard copy mailings. All shareholders and interested parties can be added to the perpetual list by request to Melcor Investor Relations. Please specify whether you wish to be added to the electronic list, the paper list or both. If you already receive annual and/or quarterly reports, you do not need to complete the form again unless you would like to change your option, or if your mailing address has changed.

How do I vote?

Registered shareholders may vote at the Meeting by completing a ballot online during the Meeting, as further described below. See "How do I attend and participate at the Meeting?".

Beneficial shareholders who have not duly appointed themselves as proxyholder will not be able to participate or vote at the Meeting. This is because the Company and its transfer agent do not have a record of the beneficial shareholders of the Company, 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 beneficial shareholder 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 must follow all of the applicable instructions provided by your intermediary. See "Appointment of a Third Party as Proxy" and "How do I attend and participate at the Meeting?".

Appointment of a Third Party as Proxy

The following applies to shareholders who wish to appoint a person (a "third party proxyholder") other than the management nominees set forth in the form of proxy or voting instruction form as proxyholder, including beneficial shareholders who wish to appoint themselves as proxyholder to attend, participate or vote at the Meeting.

Shareholders who wish to appoint a third party proxyholder to participate or vote at the Meeting as their proxy and vote their Shares MUST submit their proxy or voting instruction form (as applicable) appointing such third party proxyholder AND register the third party proxyholder, as described below. Registering your proxyholder is an additional step to be completed AFTER you have submitted your proxy or voting instruction form.

Failure to register the proxyholder will result in the proxyholder not receiving a Username to attend, participate or vote at the Meeting.

Step 1: Submit your proxy or voting instruction form: To appoint a third party proxyholder, insert such person's name in the blank space provided in the form of proxy or voting instruction form (if permitted) and follow the instructions for submitting such form of proxy or voting instruction form. This must be completed prior to registering such proxyholder, which is an additional step to be completed once you have submitted your form of proxy or voting instruction form. If you are a beneficial shareholder located in the United States, you must also provide Odyssey with a duly completed legal proxy if you wish to attend, participate or vote at the Meeting or, if permitted, appoint a third party as your proxyholder. See below under this section for additional details.

Step 2: Register your proxyholder: To register a proxyholder, shareholders MUST send an email to [email protected] by 9:30 a.m. (MT) on June 20, 2025 and provide Odyssey with the required proxyholder contact information, amount of shares appointed, name in which the shares are registered if they are a registered shareholder, or name of broker where the units are held if a beneficial shareholder, so that Odyssey may provide the proxyholder with a Username via email. Without a Username, proxyholders will not be able to attend, participate or vote at the Meeting.

If you are a beneficial shareholder and wish to participate or vote at the Meeting, you have to insert your own name in the space provided on the voting instruction form sent to you by your intermediary, follow all of the applicable instructions provided by your intermediary AND register yourself as your proxyholder, as described above. By doing so, you are instructing your intermediary to appoint you as proxyholder.

Compensation Discussion & Analysis

Compensation matters are managed by the Corporate Governance & Compensation Committee (CGCC), which is composed of Ms. Cathy Roozen, Mr. Doug Goss, Ms. Kathy Melton and Mr. Ralph Young. The mandate of the CGCC is to review and make recommendations to the Board concerning the appointment, hiring, compensation, performance evaluation, and succession planning of Melcor's senior executive officers. The Board is confident that each of the CGCC members possesses the necessary skills and experience to make decisions on the suitability of Melcor's compensation policies and practices.

Melcor believes each member of the CGCC has direct experience relevant to committee responsibilities. Refer to page 10 for additional information on directors.

The CGCC reviews compensation and benefits for the Executive Chair, the CEO and Melcor's senior executive officers and certain key employees and provides recommendations to the Board of Directors. The CGCC receives data on market salary levels from Melcor and from third-party compensation surveys.

Executive Compensation Philosophy & Strategy

Melcor's compensation philosophy is designed to attract and retain talent, motivate employees to achieve individual and corporate goals, and align the interests of management with those of the shareholders.

The overall objectives of Melcor's executive compensation program are to:

  • attract qualified executives who demonstrate exceptional leadership and management skills;
  • motivate and retain the services of outstanding individuals who will contribute to long-term success through a performance-based incentive program;
  • align the interests of executive management with corporate objectives and the creation of shareholder value;
  • reward performance based on realized value;
  • ensure a significant portion of compensation is at risk and directly linked to Melcor's success.

Melcor aims to provide competitive compensation compared to other companies of similar size (based on revenue and earnings) and in similar markets (based on industry and geographic region).

Most full-time permanent positions, including senior management, are evaluated against salary surveys, which take into account base salary and annual incentive award values as well as long-term incentives. Alberta-specific data is used wherever possible. The target is to be within 20% of market median for total compensation based on individual performance.

The annual compensation review is supplemented with consultants for specific positions that require additional information to achieve a proper comparison of actual duties and responsibilities.

Compensation Consultants

To assist with assessing the various elements of compensation, the CGCC may retain special legal, accounting, financial or other consultants, including executive search firms and/or compensation consulting firms, to provide advice at Melcor's expense.

The CGCC must pre-approve any other services provided by the consultant at the request of management.

Executive Compensation-Related Fees

Melcor has not paid any consultants fees related to executive compensation over the past 2 years.

Base Salary

The base salaries for the Executive Chair & CEO and the COO & CFO (together, the "Executive Officers") are set by the board based on the recommendation of the CGCC and are targeted to reflect market conditions. The base salaries of other senior executives are reviewed and approved by the CGCC on the recommendation of the Executive Chair & CEO and COO & CFO as approved and recommended to the CGCC by the Investment Committee.

Actual salary levels are based on a number of factors, including the individual's performance, responsibilities and experience, the contribution of each Executive Officer and a review of salary data for similar positions in similar companies. Salaries, benefits and perquisites are generally reviewed annually and adjustments are made when deemed appropriate.

Short-Term Incentive

All Named Executive Officers (NEOs) are eligible for annual cash incentives tied to the achievement of Melcor's financial, operational and strategic objectives and the executive's personal performance.

The amount available for annual cash incentives comes from the incentive pool, which is based on the earnings formula defined below. Opening equity is reduced by a certain percentage set by the board annually to ensure minimum returns on equity are achieved (see formula below). We believe this method of arriving at the incentive pool is appropriate for determining executive compensation as it reflects overall earnings performance. As such, NEOs and other senior executives are accountable for revenue growth and operating efficiency.

Incentive Formula for Executive Officers

The annual cash incentive for the Executive Officers is based on the following earnings-based formula (Incentive Formula), which reflects our philosophy of incentivizing based on cash events that monetize asset value (removing IFRS fair value gains or losses and adding back realized gains or losses):

Short-term Incentive Formula
Segment Earnings^{1}
-/+ Fair value gain/loss on REIT & Properties division (excluding gains on property development activities)
- Finance Costs (adjusted for non-cash items)
+ Gains on sale of investment property assets sold
- A percentage of opening equity^{1}
= Incentive pool
× Executive Factor^{2}
  1. Opening equity adjustment to segment earnings establishes a minimum return on equity before the cash incentive begins to accrue and is set by the Board annually depending on a number of factors.
  2. Executive Factor is a percentage set annually by the Board for each Executive Officer. In determining the Executive Factor, the CGCC considers each Executive Officer's experience, responsibilities, individual performance, and market conditions.
  3. Segment earnings is adjusted for transaction related costs (including legal, consulting tax, etc) associated with the Arrangement Agreement entered into between Melcor and Melcor REIT in 2024.

The percentage reduction of opening equity and the Executive Factor are set annually by the Board on the recommendation of the CGCC based on market conditions and corporate and individual performance.

In 2024, the Executive Factor ranged from 1.00% to 1.25%.

Other Senior Executives

The annual discretionary cash incentive for other senior executives (i.e. excluding the Executive Officers) is based on each individual's performance combined with overall company performance to encourage all employees to contribute to Melcor's overall success. The discretionary incentives come from the Incentive Pool described above.

The purpose of the discretionary incentive is to:

  • Reward individuals for creating value in the current year that may not be realized on financial statements for several years (reflecting the longer earnings cycle of real estate companies);
  • Tailor payments based on individual performance; and
  • Determine amounts that directly correlate to Melcor's financial results.

The discretionary incentive for each senior executive is reviewed and approved by the CGCC on the recommendation of the CEO and COO & CFO as approved and recommended to the CGCC by the Investment Committee.

Long-Term Incentive (Equity Based)

Long-term incentives are provided through Melcor's Share Option Plan and Restricted Share Unit (RSU) Plan (see "Equity Compensation Plan Information").

Performance in the context of long-term incentives is based on the employee's position and their contribution to Melcor's success. The long-term incentive program is designed to align the interests of Melcor's executives with those of shareholders and to encourage employee share ownership. The plan is also designed to retain the services of key employees and to represent a significant portion of their overall, long-term compensation package.

Employees are not restricted from purchasing financial instruments to hedge equity-based compensation.

In 2018, shareholders approved a Restricted Share Unit Plan (RSU plan) and an amendment to the 2007 Share Plan to allow for cashless exercise.

The Board of Directors approves annual grants of RSUs based on the recommendation of the CGCC, which receives and reviews recommendations from the CEO. RSU grants take into consideration an employee's individual performance and previous grants.

During 2020, the company decided to suspend granting options and focus the Executive Long Term Incentive Compensation on

Melcor Developments Ltd. 2025 INFORMATION CIRCULAR
14


RSU Awards. In volatile market conditions RSU's were deemed to be more effective at retaining and motivating executives.

Together, these incentive plans support performance objectives, ensure that the interests of key management and employees are aligned with the success of Melcor, encourage employees to acquire a proprietary interest in Melcor, and help to attract, retain and motivate key individuals critical to our long-term success.

Other Compensation & Employment Benefits

All staff, including the executive team, are eligible to participate in Melcor's Employee Share Purchase Plan (ESPP) and Group Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP).

Under the ESPP, Melcor matches employee contributions at 50% to a maximum of $1,800 per year. No treasury shares are issued for ESPP.

Under the RRSP, Melcor matches employee contributions at 100% to a maximum match of $3,500 per year.

Melcor's benefit package is generally available to all full-time permanent staff and includes medical, dental, disability and life insurance to promote general wellness and preventative care. Parking or transit and automobile subsidies are also provided to some employees based on job requirements.

Assessment of Risk Associated with Melcor's Compensation Policies and Practices

The Board understands Melcor's compensation practices and policies and reviews them annually. The Board ensures during its review that total compensation is directly tied to Melcor's success for all executive level roles. This reduces the overall risk of Melcor's compensation policies and practices by ensuring incentive plans and payments are in line with our overall financial health and profitability.

Compensation Decision-Making Process

Executive Officers

The following items are considered by the CGCC as part of the compensation decision-making process:

  • 2024 financial results
  • Efficiency achievements and general and administrative cost reductions
  • Variation between fiscal targets and actual results
  • Cash incentive based on the Incentive Formula
  • The Executive Officer's individual performance
  • The Executive Officer's base salary for current year

The CGCC may from time to time recommend an additional discretionary incentive amount based on market conditions and individual performance.

While achieving the annual fiscal targets is a primary consideration in the CGCC's determination of the Executive Officers' incentive based compensation, the CGCC is of the view that strict adherence to formulas for the determination of compensation may result in unintended, counterproductive consequences. Accordingly, the CGCC exercises its own judgment and discretion in assessing each executive's performance.

The CGCC recommends the base salary for the current year along with short- and long-term incentive based compensation for the prior year for each Executive Officer to the Board for approval.

The CGCC also recommends the Executive Factor to be used in the Incentive Formula for the current fiscal year to the Board for approval.

Other Senior Executives

The CEO and COO & CFO present recommendations to the CGCC for annual cash incentives to be paid to Melcor's other senior executives. In assessing the proposed amounts, the CGCC evaluates overall financial results and the performance of each senior executive in their respective roles. The CGCC also compares the proposed incentive to amounts paid to each senior executive in the previous year. In carrying out these functions, the CGCC takes into account both company and individual performance.

The CGCC approves the incentive based compensation (both short- and long-term) for senior executives.

This retirement allowance was paused when Mr. Melton resumed employment. Mr. Melton retired in April 2025 as CEO of Melcor REIT subsequent to the acquisition of Melcor REIT by Melcor.

Fiscal 2024 Compensation Mix

Melcor's "pay-for-performance" compensation philosophy results in a significant portion of each executive's compensation being "at risk", which, combined with long-term equity based incentive plans, provides motivation to Melcor's executives and aligns their interests with the creation of long-term shareholder value. This compensation philosophy ensures that executives have 'skin-in-the-game' and provides superior compensation for superior performance. The components of each executive's overall compensation vary based on position. The following table illustrates the executive's total compensation mix for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

Name Base salary Cash incentive Long-term incentives^{1} Total % at Risk
Naomi Stefura 333,720 747,895 257,600 1,339,215 75 %

Assessments
Disclose whether or not the Board of Directors, its committees and individual directors are regularly assessed with respect to their effectiveness and contribution. If assessments are regularly conducted, describe the process used for the assessments. The Corporate Governance and Compensation Committee has the responsibility for assessing the Board's effectiveness as a whole. An annual self-assessment is conducted with the findings reported to the full Board by the chair of the committee.
The assessment process examines the effectiveness of the Board as a whole and specifically reviews areas that the Board members believe could be improved to ensure the continued effectiveness of the Board in the execution of its responsibilities.
An assessment of individual directors is not performed.
Director Term Limits and Other Mechanisms for Board Renewal
Disclose whether or not the issuer has adopted term limits for directors The Board is responsible for recommending candidates for election to shareholders from time to time that together contribute the right mix of skills and qualities to the Board. To assist in making those recommendations, the Board periodically conducts both formal and informal reviews of the effectiveness of the Board and individual Board members.
The Board is concerned that imposing arbitrary and inflexible director term limits may result in Melcor losing valued directors at a time when it most needs their skills, qualities and contributions, as well as their knowledge of the history and culture of the organization. Mandatory retirement ages pose the same risk and the Board does not want to risk the loss of key directors to retirement policies that seem unnecessarily arbitrary and inflexible when they force a high performing director off the Board. Consequently the Board has not adopted term limits for its directors but rather relies on the experience of its members to determine when Board renewals, Board removals and Board additions are appropriate.
Policies Regarding the Representation of Women on the Board
Disclose whether the issuer has adopted a written policy related to identifying and nominating women directors. While the Board has not adopted a written policy relating to the identification and nomination of women directors, Melcor has an Employment Equity and Diversity Policy (Appendix E), which recognizes employment equity and diversity as values that are important to Melcor. The Board evaluates potential nominees to the Board annually by reviewing the qualifications of prospective members and determines their relevance, taking into consideration current Board composition and the anticipated skills required to round out the capabilities of the Board, including knowledge and diversity of membership.

Appendix E Employment Equity & Diversity Policy

Introduction

This Employment Equity and Diversity Policy (the "Policy") sets out the approach to employment equity and diversity of Melcor Developments Ltd. (the "Company").

Scope and Application

"Employment equity" recognizes the value and dignity of each individual and ensures that each individual will have genuine, open and unhindered access to employment opportunities with the Company. Employment equity involves hiring the most suitably qualified candidate for any open position while ensuring that the hiring process and the qualifications required for each position are fair and equitable for all persons.

"Diversity" involves recognizing and valuing the unique contribution people can make to the Company because of their individual background, different skills, experiences and perspectives. The Company also recognizes that diversity within the workforce will generate value for the Company's stakeholders (including its customers, shareholders, employees, and the communities in which it operates). Fostering diversity also allows the Company to attract, retain and motivate employees from the widest pool of available talent.

The Company will take all appropriate steps to ensure that throughout the entire organization both a high standard of employment equity, and a culture accepting and encouraging of diversity, are maintained at all times.

Policy Statement

The Company will retain, promote and hire the best people it can, focusing on actual and potential contribution in terms of their performance, competence, collaboration and professional accountability. Management will ensure that all employment-related decisions are based on principles of individual merit and achievement such as job performance, skills, knowledge, and abilities relevant to specific positions and not on factors unrelated to a person's performance or ability to do the job.

The Company will foster an inclusive culture, accepting and encouraging of diversity within its workforce, and will not discriminate in its employment practices on the basis of gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion, age, disability, or any other characteristic protected by law. This includes all aspects of employment at every level within the Company (i.e. - from the Board of Directors (the "Board") level on down), including: hiring; job assignment; compensation; discipline; termination; access to benefits; and training. In order to garner the full benefits of diversity (including the availability of the widest pool of available talent), Management will periodically review the Company's recruitment and selection practices at all levels (from the Board level on down) to ensure they are appropriately structured so that a diverse range of candidates are considered and that there are no conscious or unconscious biases that might discriminate against certain candidates.

Management will make reasonable accommodation for qualified individuals with known disabilities unless doing so would result in an undue hardship.

Management will lead this Employment Equity and Diversity Policy by regarding it as a key business issue and an essential part of the Company's day to day business activities.

The Board will annually review (i) Management's report to the Board regarding the proportion of women in the Company's workforce throughout the Company's various offices and across its various employment levels; and (ii) this Employment Equity and Diversity Policy to determine if the objectives of the Policy are being met and to consider the adequacy and appropriateness of the Policy in furthering the Company's objectives.

Any employee with questions or concerns about discrimination in the workplace is encouraged to bring these issues to the attention of their immediate Supervisor, the Company's Human Resources department, or any senior officer of the Company. Employees can raise concerns and make reports without fear of reprisal. It is also a violation of this Policy for anyone to knowingly make a false complaint of discrimination, or to provide false information about a complaint. Anyone found to be engaging in any type of unlawful discrimination will be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment.

This Policy will be published on the Company's website for public information purposes.
