(b) reappoint the auditors of the Corporation and authorize the directors to fix their remuneration;
(c) elect the directors of the Corporation;
(d) consider an advisory resolution on the Corporation's approach to executive compensation; and

A copy of the form of proxy or voting information form for use in connection with the Meeting accompanies this notice.

Important Notice Regarding Proxy Materials and Notice-and-Access Procedures

The Corporation uses the "notice-and-access" provisions under National Instrument 54-101 — Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer and National Instrument 51-102 — Continuous Disclosure Obligations ("Notice-and-Access") for distribution of the Meeting materials and the Corporation's 2025 Annual Report. Notice-and-Access allows the Corporation to post electronic versions of its proxy-related materials on the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval Plus ("SEDAR+") and online at https://materials.proxyvote.com/666511 rather than mailing paper copies to registered and beneficial shareholders.

Under Notice-and-Access, instead of receiving printed copies of the Meeting materials, registered and beneficial shareholders receive a Notice-and-Access notification containing details of the Meeting date, location and purpose, as well as information on how they can access the Meeting materials electronically. The use of this alternative means of delivery is more environmentally friendly as it will help reduce paper use and it will also reduce the Corporation's printing and mailing costs. It also helps expedite our shareholders' receipt of our Meeting materials. Shareholders are reminded to review the Meeting materials prior to voting.

Shareholders may request a paper copy of the Meeting materials by mail, free of charge, by calling Broadridge Investor Communications Corporation ("Broadridge") toll free at 1-877-907-7643, either before or after the Meeting. Shareholders will be asked to enter the 16-digit control number indicated on the form of proxy or voting instruction form they received with this Notice of Meeting to request a paper copy of the Meeting materials.

Requests for paper copies should be made as soon as possible. A paper copy of the Meeting materials will be mailed to you within three business days of receiving your request, if the request is made at any time prior to the Meeting. It is estimated that the request for paper copies of the Meeting materials must be received by May 6, 2026 in order to allow sufficient time for processing and mailing prior to the deadline for submission of voting instructions.

The contents of this Circular and its sending to the Corporation's shareholders have been approved by the directors of the Corporation.

BY ORDER OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
