  4. to consider and, if deemed advisable, to pass, with or without variation, a special resolution to effect the consolidation of all of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Corporation on the basis of up to ten (10) old common shares for one (1) new common share, as more fully described in the accompanying management information circular;

The full text of the special resolutions referred to in item 4 above are attached to this notice as Exhibit A.

A shareholder wishing to be represented by proxy at the Meeting or any adjournment thereof must deposit his or her duly executed form of proxy with the Corporation's transfer agent and registrar, TSX Trust Company, at Suite 301, 100 Adelaide Street West, Toronto, Ontario M5H 4H1 not later than 10:00 a.m. (Eastern time) on Wednesday, January 22, 2025, 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 Corporation has by resolution fixed the close of business on Wednesday, November 27, 2024, as the record date, being the date for the determination of the registered holders of common shares of the Corporation 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 Corporation 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 Corporation (the "Non-Registered


Holders") and for registered shareholders. The notice-and-access method of delivery of meeting materials allows the Corporation 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 Corporation for the financial years March 31, 2023 and March 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 Corporation will not be adopting stratification procedures in relation to the use of notice-and access provisions.

Websites Where Meeting Materials Are Posted:

Meeting Materials can be viewed online under the Corporation's profile at www.sedarplus.ca or on the website of TSX Trust Company, the Corporation's transfer agent and registrar, at https://docs.tsxtrust.com/2337. The Meeting Materials will remain posted on the TSX Trust Company's website at least until the date that is one year after the date the Meeting Materials were posted.

How to Obtain Paper Copies of the Meeting Materials

Shareholders may request paper copies of the Meeting Materials be sent to them by postal delivery at no cost to them. Requests may be made up to one year from the date the Meeting Materials are posted on the TSX Trust Company's website. In order to receive a paper copy of the Meeting Materials or if you have questions concerning notice-and-access, please contact the Corporation's transfer agent and registrar, TSX Trust Company, by calling toll free at 1-866-600-5869 or by email at [email protected]. Requests should be received by 4:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on January 15, 2024 in order to receive the Meeting Materials in advance of the Meeting.

The accompanying management information circular provides additional detailed information relating to the matters to be dealt with at the Meeting and is supplemental to, and expressly made a part of, this notice of annual meeting. Additional information about the Corporation and its financial statements are also available on the Corporation's profile at www.sedarplus.ca.

DATED at Toronto, Ontario this 27th day of November, 2024.

BY ORDER OF THE BOARD

"Chris Irwin" (signed)
