Notes to the Proxy Form
- Every common shareholder has the right to appoint a person other than the management nominees designated overleaf to attend and act on his/her behalf at the 2023 annual meeting of common shareholders of iA Financial Corporation Inc. (the "Annual Meeting"). This right may be exercised by writing the name of the person to be appointed in the space provided. The proxyholder is not required to be a common shareholder of iA Financial Corporation Inc. If you wish to appoint a person or company other than the persons whose names are printed herein, please insert the name of your chosen proxyholder in the space provided on the reverse and return your proxy by mail or vote by Internet at www.investorvote.com. In addition, YOU MUST go to http://www.computershare.com/IA2023 no later than 5:00 p.m. on the second business day preceding the day of the Annual Meeting or any adjournment thereof, and provide Computershare with the required information for your chosen proxyholder so that Computershare may provide the proxyholder with a Control Number via email. This Control Number will allow your proxyholder to log in to and vote at the Annual Meeting. Without a Control Number your proxyholder will only be able to log in to the Annual Meeting as a guest and will not be able to vote.
- To be valid, this proxy, which is solicited on behalf of Management, must be signed by the common shareholder, or the shareholder's representative duly appointed in writing, and returned within the prescribed period. All matters being considered at the Annual Meeting are more fully described in the accompanying Management Information Circular dated March 14, 2023 (the "Information Circular") to which common shareholders should refer.
- If the common shares are registered in the name of more than one owner (for example, joint ownership, trustees, executors, etc.), then all those registered must sign this form. If you are voting on behalf of a corporation or another person, we may require documentation showing that you are duly appointed to vote and sign this proxy form on behalf of the above holder(s).
- If the proxy is not dated, it will be deemed to bear the date on which it is mailed to the holder.
- The common shares represented by this proxy will be voted as directed by the holder. However, if such a direction is not made in respect of any matter, this proxy will be voted in conformity with Management's recommendations if the proxy is given to Management, or in a discretionary manner if it is given to any other proxyholder. This proxy confers discretionary authority with respect to amendments or variations to the matters specified in the Information Circular or other matters which may properly come before the Annual Meeting.
Proxies must be delivered as described in the Information Circular to:
Computershare Investor Services Inc., 100 University Avenue, 8th Floor, Toronto, Ontario, M5J 2Y1.
