NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL AND SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that an annual general and special meeting (the "Meeting") of shareholders of Ophir Metals Corp. (the "Company") will be held on Friday, April 4, 2025, at the hour of 10:00 a.m. (Eastern Standard time), at the office of Irwin Lowy LLP at Suite 401, 217 Queen Street West, Toronto, Ontario M5V 0R2, for the following purposes:
- to receive and consider the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended May 31, 2024 and the respective report of the auditors thereon;
- to consider and, if deemed advisable, to pass, with or without variation, an ordinary resolution fixing the number of directors of the Company at four (4);
- to elect the directors of the Company;
- to appoint the auditors of the Company and to authorize the directors to fix their remuneration;
- to approve and confirm the omnibus long term incentive plan of the Company; and
- to transact such other business as may properly come before the Meeting or any adjournments or postponements thereof.
A shareholder wishing to be represented by proxy at the Meeting or any adjournment thereof must deposit his, her or its duly executed form of proxy with the Company's transfer agent and registrar, Computershare Trust Company of Canada, at 8th Floor, 100 University, Wednesday, April 2, 2025 at the hour of 10:00 a.m. (Eastern Standard time), or, if the Meeting is adjourned, not later than 48 hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, preceding the time of such adjourned meeting.
Shareholders who are unable to attend the Meeting in person, are requested to date, complete, sign and return the enclosed form of proxy so that as large a representation as possible may be had at the Meeting.
The board of directors of the Company has by resolution fixed the close of business on Wednesday, February 19, 2025, as the record date, being the date for the determination of the registered holders of common shares of the Company entitled to receive notice of, and to vote at, the Meeting and any adjournment thereof.
NOTICE-AND-ACCESS
Notice is also hereby given that the Company has decided to use the notice-and-access method of delivery of meeting materials for the Meeting for beneficial owners of common shares of the Company (the "Non-Registered Holders") and for registered shareholders. The notice-and-access method of delivery of meeting materials allows the Company to deliver the meeting materials over the internet in accordance with the notice-and-access rules adopted by the Ontario Securities Commission under National Instrument 54-101 – Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer. Under the notice-and-access system, registered shareholders will receive a form of proxy and the Non-Registered Holders will receive a voting instruction form enabling them to vote at the Meeting. However, instead of a paper copy of the notice of Meeting, the management information circular, the annual consolidated financial statements of the Company for the financial year ended May 31, 2024 and related management's discussion and analysis and other meeting materials (collectively the "Meeting Materials"), shareholders receive a notification with information on how they may access such materials electronically. The use of this alternative means of delivery is more environmentally friendly as it will help reduce paper use and will also reduce the cost of printing and mailing the Meeting Materials to shareholders. Shareholders are reminded to view the Meeting Materials prior to voting. The Company will not be adopting stratification procedures in relation to the use of notice-and access provisions.
