Proxies are being solicited on behalf of management of the Corporation. Proxies will be primarily solicited by mail, but may also be solicited by electronic means, by telephone or in person. The Corporation may retain, if determined advisable, an agency to solicit proxies for the Corporation. The Corporation is bearing the costs associated with this solicitation.

Each common share (a “Share”) of the Corporation outstanding on January 2, 2024 (the “Record Date”) is entitled to one vote at the Meeting.

Quorum

A quorum is required in order to transact business at the Meeting. Quorum for the Meeting is two persons entitled to vote present in person either holding personally or representing by proxy not less in aggregate than 10% of the issued and outstanding Shares.

Registered Shareholders - Appointment and Revocation of Proxies

You are a registered Shareholder if your Shares are held in certificate form in your name (a “ Registered Shareholder ”). If you are a Registered Shareholder you can vote your Shares:

in person at the Meeting; or
by signing the enclosed form of proxy.

If you are not a Registered Shareholder, in order to vote your Shares, you must follow the steps described in the next section below entitled “Non Registered (Beneficial) Shareholders – Appointment and Revocation of Proxies”.

If you are a Registered Shareholder and you complete, date, sign and return the enclosed proxy as described below, you give authority to the individuals named in the proxy or an individual of your choosing, to attend, vote and act on your behalf at the Meeting.

The individuals named in the enclosed form of proxy are directors of the Corporation (the “ Directors ”). You have the right to appoint a person of your choice, who does not need to be a Shareholder, to represent you and to attend and act on your behalf at the Meeting . If you wish to appoint someone other than the individuals listed in

the enclosed proxy, please insert the name of the other person you wish to appoint in the space provided in the proxy for that purpose.

To be valid, you must date and sign your proxy and it must be received by Odyssey Trust Company, Attn: Proxy Dept, 702 – 67 Yonge St, Toronto ON M5E 1J8 before 8:30 a.m. (Eastern time) on Monday, February 5, 2024. You may also vote through the internet at https://login.odysseytrust.com/pxlogin. If voting on the internet, please follow the instructions carefully and ensure that you have your proxy in hand as you will be required to enter the 12-digit control number located on your proxy above your name and address. If the Meeting is adjourned or postponed, the proxy must be signed and received by Odyssey Trust Company before 8:30 a.m. (Eastern time) on the second business day before the adjourned Meeting.

After you or your attorney, duly authorized in writing, have signed and returned a proxy to Odyssey Trust Company, you may revoke your proxy:

by you or your attorney, duly authorized in writing, completing, dating and signing a new proxy or written statement with a date later than the previous proxy and delivering it to:
(a) Odyssey Trust Company in the manner described above; or
(b) to the Corporation’s registered office before the end of business on the day before the Meeting or any subsequent adjournments or postponements; or
(c) the chairman of the Meeting before the start of the Meeting or before any adjournments or postponements; or
in any other manner permitted by law.

Non-Registered (Beneficial) Shareholders - Appointment and Revocation of Proxies

Only proxies deposited by Registered Shareholders can be recognized and acted upon at the Meeting. If your Shares are held in the name of a nominee, such as a bank, trust company, securities broker, trustee (including TFSA, RRSP, RRIF, FHSA or RESP trustee) or other financial institution, you are considered a beneficial Shareholder (a “ Beneficial Shareholder ”).

Shares held by a nominee can only be voted according to the instructions of the Beneficial Shareholder. Regulatory policy requires nominees to seek voting instructions from Beneficial Shareholders in advance of Shareholder meetings. If you receive a proxy or voting information form from your nominee, you cannot use that proxy or voting information form to vote your Shares directly at the Meeting.

If you are a Beneficial Shareholder, there are two ways that you can vote your Shares:

by providing, well in advance of the Meeting, voting instructions to your nominee who will have sent you either a request for voting instructions or a form of proxy for the number of Shares you hold. You should carefully follow your nominee’s procedures and return instructions to ensure that your Shares are voted at the Meeting; or
by attending the Meeting. However, as the Corporation generally does not have access to the names of non-Registered Shareholders, if you want to attend the Meeting in person, you must have your nominee appoint you as its proxyholder in respect of your Shares. Only after having been validly appointed as a proxyholder will you be able vote your Shares at the Meeting. If you plan to vote in this manner, contact your nominee to determine what documentation you need to complete in order to be appointed a proxyholder and, upon your arrival at the Meeting, you will need to register with Odyssey Trust Company.

TerraVest Industries Inc. – 2024 Management Information Circular Page 2

A Beneficial Shareholder who wishes to revoke a proxy should follow any revocation instructions set forth on the form of proxy or voting instruction form provided to them by their intermediary or its agent.

A Beneficial Shareholder who wishes to appoint some other person as his or her representative at the Meeting should strike out the names of the designated proxyholders in the form of proxy or voting instruction form provided by their intermediary or agent and enter the name(s) of the person(s) to be appointed as representatives at the Meeting in the blank space on the form of proxy or voting instruction form provided to them and return the same to their intermediary or agent well in advance of the Meeting in accordance with the instructions provided by such intermediary or agent.

Voting of Shares Represented by Management Proxies

Unless you specify another individual, the enclosed form of proxy gives authority to two named individuals, who are representatives of the Corporation, to vote or withhold from voting your Shares at the Meeting according to your instructions on any ballot that may be called for and, if you specify on your proxy how you want your Shares to be voted on a particular matter, the proxyholder will vote your Shares that way. In the absence of specific instructions, the representatives of the Corporation will vote in favour of the matters set forth herein. The form of proxy also gives the representatives of the Corporation discretionary authority to vote on other matters that properly come before the Meeting.

GOVERNANCE

Under rules adopted by Canadian securities regulatory authorities, the Corporation is required to disclose information relating to its governance. A discussion of the Corporation’s governance system within the context of National Instrument 58-101 – Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices (“ NI 58-101 ”) is attached to this Circular as Appendix “A”.

Relationship Between the Directors and Management

The Directors have in place appropriate structures to ensure that they can function independently of management. The primary responsibility of the Chair is to oversee the Directors’ discharge of their responsibilities. Charles Pellerin is the current Chair of the Board of Directors.

The Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation is responsible for the day-to-day administration and management of the Corporation and its subsidiaries. The Directors or a committee thereof make all major policy decisions relating to the Corporation and its subsidiaries.

As applied to a Director herein, “ independent ”, except with reference to the Audit Committee, has the meaning ascribed to such term in respect of a director of an issuer in sections 1.4 and 1.5 of National Instrument 52-110 – Audit Committees (“ NI 52-110 ”) and as may subsequently be in effect from time to time or any successor policy thereto and includes having no direct or indirect material relationship with the Corporation, where a “material relationship” is a relationship which could, in the view of the Directors, reasonably interfere with the exercise of such Director’s independent judgement. Members of the Audit Committee are required to be independent in accordance with subsection 3.1(3) of NI 52-110.

Committees

The board of Directors has two committees, the Governance and Nominating Committee and the Audit Committee. A discussion of the governance structure of the Corporation and its subsidiaries is provided in Appendix “A” to this Circular.

Information in respect of the Audit Committee, the members of the Audit Committee, the charter of the Audit Committee and certain information regarding the audit fees paid in the 2023 and 2022 fiscal years is contained in the Corporation’s annual information form dated December 12, 2023 (the “ AIF ”), under “Audit Committee” and in the Appendix to the AIF, which is incorporated by reference herein. A copy of the AIF may be found on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca, and, upon request, the Corporation will promptly provide a copy of such document free of charge to a Shareholder.

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to elect each nominee as a Director. The election of each individual Director will be effected by an ordinary resolution approved by a majority of the votes cast at the Meeting.

In the absence of contrary instructions, the representatives of the Corporation named in the form of proxy intend to vote FOR each of the nominees to be elected by the Shareholders listed below. Each of the listed nominees is currently a Director. Management of the Corporation believes that each of the listed nominees will be able to serve as a Director but, if for any reason before the Meeting, a nominee is unable to serve as a Director, the persons named in the form of proxy have the discretion to vote for another nominee at the Meeting. Each elected or appointed Director will hold office until the next annual general meeting or until a successor is duly elected or appointed.

The following table sets forth, for each Director nominated, the name, municipality of residence and principal occupation during the last five years and the number of Shares beneficially owned or controlled.

The Governance and Nominating Committee will consider the resignation and recommend to the Board whether or not to accept the resignation. The Board expects that resignations will be accepted except in situations where extenuating circumstances would warrant the applicable Director to continue to serve on the Board. The Board’s decision and process will be publicly disclosed by news release, which will be filed on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

Current Plan Terms

The following is a summary of the terms of the Current Plan, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Current Plan.

Administration

The Current Plan is administered by the Directors. The Directors have the power to establish policies and to adopt rules and regulations for carrying out the purposes, provisions and administration of the Current Plan.

Eligibility

Options may be granted under the Current Plan to any officer or other senior management employee of the Corporation or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Corporation or a corporation controlled by such persons (collectively, “ Eligible Persons ”). Options are not assignable or transferrable except as provided for in the Current Plan, which allows for limited circumstances whereby the personal representatives, heirs or legatees may exercise the Options upon the death of the holder of the Options (see the section entitled Retirement; Resignation; Death, Etc. below for a description of these circumstances).

Shares Subject to the Current Plan

Up to 10% of the Shares issued and outstanding from time to time may be reserved for issuance pursuant to Options granted under the Current Plan. The Current Plan is considered a “rolling maximum plan”, since the number of Shares that may be reserved for issuance pursuant to the Current Plan may increase from time to time as the number of issued and outstanding Shares increases.

No fractional Shares may be purchased or issued under the Current Plan. In no event shall: (a) the aggregate number of Shares issuable under the Current Plan and any of the Corporation’s other security based compensation arrangements to Insiders exceed 10% of the Shares then issued and outstanding; (b) Insiders be issued, pursuant to the Current Plan and any of the Corporation’s other security based compensation arrangements, within any one year

TerraVest Industries Inc. – 2024 Management Information Circular Page 8

period, a number of Shares which exceeds 10% of the Shares then issued and outstanding; and (c) any one Insider be issued, pursuant to the Current Plan and any of the Corporation’s other security based compensation arrangements, within any one-year period a number of Shares which exceeds 5% of the Shares then issued and outstanding. For the purposes of this summary of the Current Plan, “Insider” has the meaning given to such term in the TSX Company Manual, as may be amended from time to time, for the purposes of Section 613 of the TSX Company Manual.

Terms of Options

Unless otherwise determined by the Directors, the price at which Shares may be purchased under an Option (the “ Option Price ”) shall be equal to the volume weighted average trading price of the Shares on the TSX for the five (5) trading days immediately preceding the date that the Option is granted by the Directors (the “ Market Price ”). The Option Price will be fixed for the term of an Option, and in no event shall the Option Price be less than the Market Price of the Shares on the date that the Option is granted by the Directors (the “ Grant Date ”). Unless otherwise determined by the Directors, the period in which the holder of an Option may exercise an Option (the “ Option Period ”) shall be ten (10) years from the Grant Date, provided that in the event that the Option Period should end within a blackout period in which Eligible Persons cannot trade securities of the Corporation pursuant to the Corporation’s policies on trading restrictions, or within the nine (9) business days following the expiry of such blackout period, the Option Period will end on the date which is ten (10) business days after the expiry of such blackout period. Unless otherwise determined by the Directors, each Option shall become exercisable in respect of 33⅓% of the Shares subject to such Option after each anniversary of the Grant Date (i.e. 33⅓% of such Shares after each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the Grant Date).

In lieu of a holder making payment by cash or cheque for the Option Price of the Shares then being purchased, the holder may make payment in full by way of a cashless exercise in accordance with such procedures as may be determined by the Board from time to time.

Retirement; Resignation; Death, Etc.

If before the expiry of an Option, the holder of an Option becomes qualified for retirement from his office or employment with the Corporation and any subsidiary or affiliate, the Option granted to such holder shall be exercisable by the holder until the earlier of: (i) the expiration date of the Option; and (ii) the end of the thirty-six (36) month period which commences on the date the holder retired; to the same extent that the Option would have otherwise been exercisable by such holder during such period (unless the Directors determine otherwise). After such period, the Option and all rights of the holder shall immediately expire and terminate.

If before the expiry of an Option, the holder of an Option dies, the Option granted to such holder shall be exercisable by the personal representatives, heirs or legatees of the deceased holder until the earlier of: (i) the expiration date of the Option; and (ii) the end of the one hundred and eighty (180) day period which commences on the date of the holder’s death; to the same extent that the Option would otherwise have been exercisable by such holder during such period (unless the Directors determine otherwise). After such period, the Option and all rights of the holder thereunder shall immediately expire and terminate.

If before the expiry of an Option, the holder of an Option qualifies for benefits under the Corporation’s long-term disability plan (“ LTD ”), the Option granted to such holder shall be exercisable by the holder until the earlier of: (i) the expiration date of the Option; and (ii) the end of the one hundred and eighty (180) day period which commences on the date that the holder became eligible for benefits under the LTD ; to the same extent that the Option would have otherwise been exercisable by such holder during such period (unless the Directors determine otherwise). After such period, the Option and all rights of the holder thereunder shall immediately expire and terminate.

If before the expiry of an Option the holder of an Option resigns from his office or employment with the Corporation and any subsidiary or affiliate, the Option granted to such holder shall be exercisable by the holder until the earlier of: (i) the expiration date of the Option; and (ii) the end of the thirty (30) day period which commences on the date the holder tenders his resignation; to the same extent that the Option would have otherwise been exercisable by

TerraVest Industries Inc. – 2024 Management Information Circular Page 9

such holder prior to the date of such resignation (unless the Directors determine otherwise). For certainty, during such thirty (30) day period, the Option shall only be exercisable in respect of those Shares for which the Option would have otherwise been exercisable during such thirty (30) day period. After the period when the Option may be exercised, the Option and all rights of the holder thereunder shall immediately expire and terminate.

If before the expiry of an Option, the holder’s employment or office with the Corporation and any subsidiary or affiliate is terminated by the Corporation or any such subsidiary or affiliate for cause, the Option granted to such holder and all rights of the holder thereunder shall expire and terminate effective the date that the holder’s employment or office is terminated (unless the Directors determine otherwise).

Unless otherwise determined by the Board and provided for in the applicable option agreement, if before the expiry of an Option, the holder’s employment or office with the Corporation and any subsidiary or affiliate is terminated by the Corporation or any such subsidiary or affiliate without cause, the Option granted to such holder shall be exercisable by the holder until the earlier of: (i) the expiration date of the Option; and (ii) the end of the ninety (90) day period which commences on the effective date that the holder’s employment or office is terminated without cause. During such period, the Option shall be exercisable in respect of all Shares for which the Option would have been exercisable during the notice or severance period provided by the Corporation. After such period, the Option and all rights of the holder thereunder shall immediately expire and terminate.

Amendments to, or Discontinuance of, the Current Plan

The Current Plan includes provisions which allow the Corporation to make such amendments to outstanding Options that are appropriate to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights granted under Options issued under the Current Plan, or to account for the reclassification, reorganization or other changes to the Shares, or to account for the consolidation, merger or amalgamation of the Corporation.

Subject to any required approval of any regulatory authority or the TSX, the Directors may at any time or from time to time suspend, terminate or discontinue the Current Plan provided that without the consent of the Option holders, such suspension, termination or discontinuance may not in any manner adversely affect the rights under any Options previously granted under the Current Plan.

Subject to any required approval of any regulatory authority, the Directors may at any time alter, amend or vary the Current Plan or any outstanding Option without the approval of the Shareholders, if the alteration, amendment or variance: (a) is of a housekeeping nature, including without limitation, for the purpose of curing any ambiguity, error or omission in the Current Plan or to correct or supplement any provision of the Current Plan that is inconsistent with any other provision of the Current Plan; (b) is necessary to comply with applicable law or the requirements of the TSX; (c) changes the vesting provisions of any Option; or (d) changes the termination provisions of an Option or the Current Plan which does not entail an extension beyond the original expiry date.

Shareholder approval must be obtained in the event of any alteration, amendment or variance to the Current Plan which: (a) increases the number of Shares issuable under the Current Plan; (b) changes the class of eligible participants under the Current Plan which has the potential of broadening or increasing participation by Insiders of the Corporation; (c) provides additional benefits to Eligible Persons at the expense of the Corporation and its existing Shareholders; (d) reduces the Option Price of Options held by Insiders of the Corporation; or (e) extends the Option Period applicable to Options held by Insiders of the Corporation.

The Current Plan was amended and restated with shareholder approval on February 9, 2022 to (among other amendments): (i) a “rolling” plan, whereby the amount of Shares that may be reserved for issuance shall be up to 10% of the issued Shares outstanding from time to time; (ii) provide that the number of Shares that may be issued to any one Insider of the Corporation within any one-year period not exceed 5% of the then issued Shares outstanding from time to time; and (iii) remove reference to Clarke Inc., George Armoyan and Dale Laniuk or any of their associates or affiliates from exclusions to Acceleration Events under the Current Plan.

Annual Burn Rate

The following table outlines the Burn Rate (as defined below) for the Current Plan for the past three fiscal years.

	2023	2022	2021
Burn Rate(1)	-	5.5%	-

(1) The “ Burn Rate ” is calculated using the TSX prescribed methodology, which is the total number of Options granted under the arrangement during the applicable fiscal year, divided by the weighted average number of Shares outstanding for the fiscal year.

Acceleration Events

Unless otherwise determined by the Board and provided for in an option agreement, in the event that: (a) the Corporation obtains approval from the Shareholders for a transaction which, if completed, would constitute an Acceleration Event (defined below); (b) an Acceleration Event has occurred; or (c) the Board adopts a resolution to the effect that an Acceleration Event has occurred or is imminent; the Board shall: (a) permit the exercise of all outstanding Options within the twenty (20) day period next following the date of such notice (notwithstanding the terms of such Options which specify when such Options would otherwise be exercisable) and determine that upon the expiration of such twenty (20) day period all Options shall expire and terminate; or (b) require such holders to surrender their Options, among other matters, provided that; (i) as a result of the Acceleration Event, the holders of Shares receive equity securities of the successor corporation or entity or the acquirer; (ii) such successor corporation or entity or the acquirer has provided an irrevocable and unconditional undertaking to grant replacement options to the holders on the equity securities offered as consideration; and (iii) the Directors have determined, in good faith, that such replacement options have substantially the same economic value as the Options being surrendered. In the event that the option holder’s employment or office is terminated without cause from the successor entity within twenty-four (24) months after the date of the change of control, the holder’s replacement options would immediately vest and would be exercisable until the earlier of: (i) the expiration date of the “replacement options”; and (ii) the end of the 90-day period which commences on the effective date of the termination of the holder’s employment or office. For the purposes of this summary, an “ Acceleration Event ” means the occurrence of any one or more of the following events: (a) any transaction or series of transactions with or into any other person or entity that affects any transfer, conveyance, sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation (other than a person who is an associate or an affiliate of such entity); (b) any acquisition or series of acquisitions by any means whatsoever by any person (other than the Corporation or any subsidiary or affiliate thereof) or by a group of persons acting jointly or in concert (other than with the Corporation or any subsidiary or affiliate thereof) of that number of securities of the Corporation which have associated with them that number of votes which is equal to or greater than 66 2/3% of the votes associated with the then issued and outstanding voting securities of the Corporation, as the case may be; or (c) any transaction or event in which the Corporation ceases to be a “reporting issuer” under the Securities Act (Alberta), as may be amended from time to time, or in which the Shares cease to be listed for trading on the TSX.

Indebtedness of Directors and Executive Officers

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

The following is a discussion of the significant elements of compensation awarded to, earned by, paid, or payable to the Chief Executive Officer (“ CEO ”) of the Corporation, Chief Financial Officer (“ CFO ”) of the Corporation and the three most highly paid executive officers of Corporation or a subsidiary thereof, other than the CEO and CFO, at the

TerraVest Industries Inc. – 2024 Management Information Circular Page 11

end of the most recently completed financial year whose total compensation was, individually, more than $150,000 (the “ NEOs ”).

Governance and Nominating Committee

The Governance and Nominating Committee consists of all the members of the Board. In respect of compensation matters, the Governance and Nominating Committee is responsible for:

reviewing, at least annually, the overall compensation policies and guidelines and its objectives related to Director, Board and executive compensation, as well as its corporate succession and development plans for the senior management team; and
determining that the compensation of Directors and Board members realistically reflects the responsibilities and risks involved in being an effective Director or Board member, as the case may be.

In addition, in conjunction with the compensation responsibilities of the Governance and Nominating Committee, the Board shall review on an ongoing basis the overall compensation policies and guidelines and its objectives related to executive and senior officer compensation and succession and development plans.

Each of the current and former members of the Governance and Nominating Committee referred to above is an experienced business person with a broad range of relevant experience to assist them in the performance of their responsibilities as Committee members.

The Governance and Nominating Committee has not retained a compensation consultant or advisor in each of the two most recently completed financial years or since the end of the last completed financial year.

Compensation Philosophy

The Governance and Nominating Committee’s executive compensation philosophy is guided by its objective to attract and retain executives critical to the success of, as appropriate, the Corporation or the specific portfolio business for which the executive is responsible.

Trading Restrictions

NEOs and Directors are permitted to purchase financial instruments, including, for greater certainty, prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars, or units of exchange funds that are designed to hedge or offset a decrease in market value of equity securities granted as compensation or held, directly or indirectly, by the NEO or Director.

CEO Employment Agreement

The Corporation and Mr. Dustin Haw are parties to a letter agreement that provides for certain termination provisions. If Mr. Haw’s employment is terminated by the Corporation without cause, he would receive one month base salary. If Mr. Haw’s employment had been terminated by the Corporation on September 30, 2023, for any reason other than just cause, the Corporation would have been obligated to pay Dr. Haw an incremental payment of $35,417.

CIO Employment Agreement

The Corporation and Mr. Mitchell Gilbert are parties to a letter agreement that provides for certain termination provisions. If Mr. Gilbert’s employment is terminated by the Corporation without cause, he would receive twelve months base salary. If Mr. Gilbert’s employment had been terminated by the Corporation on September 30, 2023, for any reason other than just cause, the Corporation would have been obligated to pay Mr. Gilbert an incremental payment of $400,000.

TerraVest Industries Inc. – 2024 Management Information Circular Page 12

Other NEOs

The Governance and Nominating Committee set base compensation for each NEO based on the scope of the position and prior experience.

Performance Objectives

For 2023, the Governance and Nominating Committee assessed individual performance based on role descriptions. Any bonus payments to NEO’s were determined by the board of directors of the relevant portfolio business based on the board’s assessment of individual performance based on the factors the board of directors of the relevant portfolio business determines appropriate.

Risk Considerations

The compensation of each of the NEOs which is at the complete discretion of the Governance and Nominating Committee, is composed of base salary and, if applicable, a bonus component (which may be paid through the purchase of Shares on the TSX) and an option-based award. In determining the bonus to be paid in a particular year, neither the Governance and Nominating Committee nor the board of directors of the relevant portfolio business relies on any formalized set of subjective or objective criteria. In considering the potential risks associated with the Corporation’s executive compensation structure, the Governance and Nominating Committee believes that this mix of base salary and discretionary bonus does not incentivize or encourage inappropriate risk taking on the part of NEOs, as any bonus awards are discretionary and determined on the basis of the Committee’s assessment of individual performance based on the factors the Committee, or the board of directors of the relevant portfolio business, determines appropriate. The Governance and Nominating Committee does take into account previous grants of options when considering new grants . The Board and the Corporation’s executive officers consider the implementation of and amendments to any share-based or option-based incentive plans the Corporation may have in place from time to time.

APPENDIX “A” STATEMENT OF GOVERNANCE PRACTICES AND GUIDELINES

TerraVest Industries Inc. and its related portfolio businesses (referred to in this Statement of Governance Practices and Guidelines as “ TerraVest ” or the “ Corporation ”) are committed to maintaining a high standard of corporate governance and stakeholder accountability. This discussion is intended to provide an overview of TerraVest’s approach to governance and to set out and describe the mandates, terms of reference, policies, codes and other governance-related documents that together are relied upon by TerraVest to meet its commitment to good governance.

TERRAVEST GOVERNANCE

In order to understand TerraVest’s approach to governance, it is important to understand the organizational structure of TerraVest and the primary decision-making bodies within TerraVest that have responsibility for overseeing various elements of the corporate governance framework. TerraVest’s structure can best be understood as being made up of two components: (1) the Corporation-level; and (2) the portfolio business level. Each of these components is described below.

The Corporation is governed by its directors (the “ Directors ”), the members of which are elected by the Shareholders of the Corporation.

The portfolio business structure primarily consists of limited partnerships and corporate entities through which the Corporation invests. In the case of its limited partnerships, the Corporation holds its investment in each of the limited partnerships directly.

The applicable corporate entity or general partner of each limited partnership is the primary entity through which decisions relating to each portfolio business are made. Each general partner has a board of directors made up of a combination of representatives of TerraVest and, in some cases, representatives of the existing management team of the portfolio business (reflecting the ongoing investment of such team in the portfolio business). Representatives of TerraVest, acting on behalf of the Corporation always constitute a majority of the board of directors of each portfolio business.

This Statement of Governance Practice and Guidelines contains a number of references to the “ senior management team ” of TerraVest. The senior management team includes the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer of the Corporation and the president of each portfolio business within TerraVest.

GOVERNANCE FRAMEWORK

TerraVest Boards and Committees

In very brief form, the primary focus of each of the TerraVest boards (being the Board of the Corporation and the boards of the portfolio businesses) is as follows:

Directors: investment and management of the Corporation’s property; overall responsibility for governance framework
boards of directors of portfolio businesses: stewardship of the business and affairs of the portfolio business

Further details with respect to these roles and responsibilities are contained in the TerraVest Board Mandate and in the related TerraVest Board and committee Charters that form part of TerraVest’s governance documentation that are summarized herein. The Directors have developed written position descriptions for the Chair of the Board, the chair of each committee, and the senior management team.

A-1

Mandate of the Directors

The Directors have primary responsibility and accountability for the overall stewardship of TerraVest, which they fulfill either directly or by delegating specific responsibilities to the boards and management of TerraVest’s portfolio businesses, and then overseeing and ensuring that those responsibilities are being appropriately fulfilled.

The major responsibility of the Directors is to protect the interest of the Shareholders of the Corporation by overseeing the investment and management of the Corporation’s property. This responsibility is met directly by the Directors by retaining decision-making authority in respect of matters such as approving the overall governance model used by TerraVest, determining if and when new Shares should be offered, approving dividends to Shareholders, approving investment decisions being made by or on behalf of the Corporation and ensuring that at all times proper structures, processes and individuals are in place to manage the business and affairs of TerraVest.

Responsibility for the general and day-to-day business, operational and financial affairs of TerraVest has been delegated by the Directors to the boards and management of TerraVest’s portfolio businesses, as set out in the mandates and contractual arrangements for these entities. On an ongoing basis, the Directors monitor the stewardship of TerraVest by its delegates.

The text of the mandate of the Board is set forth on Appendix “B”.

Independence of the Directors

The Board of Directors, on advice from the Governance and Nominating Committee, has determined that four of the six Directors who serve in that capacity had no material relationship with the Corporation and therefore may be considered “independent” under sections 1.4 and 1.5 of NI 52-110. The following Directors have been determined by the Board to be independent: Messrs. Cook, Rossi, MacBean and Laniuk. Messrs. Pellerin and Haw are not considered independent as (i) they sit or have sat on the Executive Committee of the Corporation within the last three years, which oversees the operations of the Corporation; and (ii) Mr. Pellerin’s company, Pellerin Strategies Conseils Inc., is paid consulting fees, which are detailed above in the Circular above.

Further Information Regarding the Directors

The following Directors are directors of other reporting issuers:

Blair Cook – Clarke Inc.
Charles Pellerin – Clarke Inc.; Calfrac Well Services Ltd.
Mick MacBean – Peyto Exploration and Development Corp.

At their discretion, the independent Directors hold regularly scheduled meetings, or designate regularly scheduled portions of full Director meetings, at which non-independent Directors and management are not in attendance.

The following table discloses the record of meeting attendance for all meetings held in the year ended September 30, 2023:

Relationship with Management

The TerraVest Board’s stewardship responsibilities are primarily focused on oversight and monitoring of TerraVest’s investments, management, financial performance, policies, procedures, communications, reporting and compliance. Management of TerraVest is responsible for the development and implementation of the long-term strategy for the Corporation and for the administration of the day-to-day business and affairs of TerraVest, with the role of the TerraVest Board being to review and monitor the implementation and results of such strategies and business performance. The TerraVest Board will support and encourage management in the performance of their duties.

The Directors have open access to management for relevant information to permit the Corporation to fully comply with its legal and other regulatory obligations and to allow the Directors and the Board to fulfill their duties.

Orientation and Continuing Education of Board Members

The Governance and Nominating Committee has the responsibility for developing an orientation program and continuing education program for new Directors and new members of the portfolio businesses within TerraVest with respect to their duties as directors. The Statement of Expectations of Directors of the Corporation and Board Charter and Mandate provide that each Director is expected to, among other things: (a) become generally knowledgeable of the investments of the Corporation; (b) participate in Director orientation and development programs developed by the Governance and Nominating Committee from time to time; (c) maintain a current understanding of the regulatory, legislative, business, social and political environments within which TerraVest operates; (d) become acquainted with the senior managers and advisors of TerraVest; and (e) visit TerraVest’s offices and the offices of business in which TerraVest has invested, when appropriate. The Position Descriptions for the Chairs of the Board of Directors and the boards of the entities in TerraVest provide that the Chairs have responsibility, together with the Governance and Nominating Committee, for facilitating continuous education of Board members both within and outside formal Board meeting, including through appropriate orientation of new Board members, regular dialogue

A-3

between the Chair and Board members and encouraging and creating opportunities for Board members to interact with and establish relationships with the senior management team.

Committees

BOARD	BOARD OF DIRECTORS TERRAVEST INDUSTRIES INC.
COMMITTEE	Governance and Nominating Committee
COMMITTEE	Audit Committee

Certain of the duties and responsibilities of the TerraVest Boards are delegated to committees. These committees are intended to assist in the effective functioning of the TerraVest Boards and to help ensure that the views of independent Directors are effectively represented. The Director committees should be comprised entirely of independent Directors. In particular, the Directors have established a Governance and Nominating Committee and an Audit Committee. The delegated authority, roles and responsibilities of each of these committees are set out in a Charter approved for each committee.

Management and the boards of directors of the portfolio businesses may also establish committees for specific purposes.

Board and Committee Chairs

Each TerraVest Board, and each committee of a TerraVest Board, appoints a chair from among its members, giving consideration to any recommendation made by the Governance and Nominating Committee. The duties and responsibilities of the chair are set out in a Position Description that has been approved for the chair of each TerraVest Board and committee.

Audit Committee

Information in respect of the Audit Committee, the members of the Audit Committee, the charter of the Audit Committee and certain information regarding the audit fees paid in the 2023 and 2022 fiscal years is contained in the Corporation’s annual information form dated December 12, 2023 under “Audit Committee” and the Appendix to the annual information form, both of which are incorporated by reference herein and may be found on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca. The Audit Committee is comprised of Blair Cook (Chair), Rocco Rossi and Mick MacBean.

Governance and Nominating Committee

The Governance and Nominating Committee is comprised of the Board as a whole and its mandate is to oversee and assess the functioning of the Directors and the senior management team of TerraVest and for the development, recommendation to the Directors and/or the Board, implementation and assessment of effective corporate governance principles applicable to the Corporation, the Board and the portfolio businesses in which the Corporation holds business investments, including reviewing TerraVest’s overall compensation policies and guidelines and succession and development plans for the Directors, the Board and the senior management team.

A-4

The Governance and Nominating Committee is responsible for reviewing, approving or making recommendations to the Directors or the Board in respect of:

criteria for qualification as a member of the Directors or the Board, as the case may be;
the long-term plan for the composition of the Directors and the Board that takes into consideration current strengths, skills and experience and the overall strategic direction of TerraVest;
annually, in consultation with the Chair of the Board and management, proposing the nominees for election as Directors and members of the Board, including identifying and proposing new qualified nominees to act as Directors and/or directors;
the membership of committees of the Board and the membership of the boards of each of the portfolio businesses; and
retaining and terminating any search firm to be used to identify director candidates.
In respect of compensation matters, the Governance and Nominating Committee is responsible for:
reviewing, at least annually, TerraVest’s overall compensation policies and guidelines and its objectives related to Director and executive compensation, as well as its corporate succession and development plans at the senior management team level; and
determining that the compensation of Directors realistically reflects the responsibilities and risks involved in being an effective Director or Board member, as the case may be.

In addition, in conjunction with the compensation responsibilities of the Governance and Nominating Committee, the Board shall review on an ongoing basis TerraVest’s overall compensation policies and guidelines and its objectives related to executive and senior officer compensation and succession and development plans.

The Governance and Nominating Committee duties comprise four areas: governance, nominations, compensation and disclosure. In respect of governance, the Governance and Nominating Committee is responsible for reviewing, approving or making recommendations to the Board in respect of guidelines, policies, procedures and practices related to matters of corporate governance. As noted above, the Governance and Nominating Committee is also responsible for the nomination process and compensation. In respect of disclosure, the Committee has been delegated responsibility for reviewing, monitoring and evaluating TerraVest’s disclosure and communications policies and practices to ensure compliance with applicable legislative, regulatory and stock exchange requirements and to ensure adherence to standards of good governance. Primary responsibility for disclosure and communications rests with the senior management team, and the Committee’s role is focused on ensuring that appropriate policies and procedures are in place and being observed.

The Governance and Nominating Committee is responsible for assessing on an on-going basis (and at least annually) in accordance with an evaluation process approved by the Directors, the performance of the members of the Board, committees of the Directors and the boards of the portfolio businesses, including the effectiveness of each board or committee as a whole and the contribution of individual members of the Board.

A-5

TerraVest’s, Codes and Procedures

The TerraVest Boards have adopted three primary policies that are applicable to all TerraVest personnel:

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
Disclosure, Communications and Insider Trading Policy
Whistleblower Policy

These policies have been adopted in order to promote honest and ethical conduct, including fair dealing and the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest, to promote full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure, to promote compliance with applicable laws and governmental rules and regulations, to protect TerraVest’s legitimate business interests, including corporate opportunities, assets and confidential information, and to deter wrongdoing. All TerraVest personnel are expected to be familiar with these policies and to adhere to those principles and procedures that apply to them.

Ethical Business Conduct

The Board of Directors has developed a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the “ Code ”), which is available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and on the Corporation’s website at www.terravestindustries.com. The Code is applicable to all directors, officers and employees of TerraVest.

The chair of the Board of Directors and each chair of the other TerraVest Boards is responsible for overseeing compliance with the Code of each member of their respective Boards. The Governance and Nominating Committee is responsible for the Corporation’s compliance with the Code, including ensuring that there is an adequate process administered by the Audit Committee to encourage all levels of employees to bring “whistleblower” issues to the attention of the Audit Committee in accordance with TerraVest’s Whistleblower Policy. The Audit Committee has the responsibility to review with management and the external auditor the Code and report to the Board of Directors and Governance and Nominating Committee, as appropriate, in respect thereof.

The Code further provides that conflicts of interest are prohibited as a matter of corporate policy, except as specifically approved by the Directors and except in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. Directors are expected to immediately declare any conflict of interest and not to participate in any decision or board action respecting the subject matter of the conflict.

Director Term Limits and Other Mechanisms of Board Renewal

Each director elected serves until the next annual meeting of shareholders unless his or her office is earlier vacated in accordance with the by-laws of the Corporation. The Board does not currently have a limit on the number of consecutive terms for which a director may sit as it believes that arbitrary term or age limits often prevent or restrict the continued service on the Board of the most experienced and valuable directors who will have acquired an institutional knowledge of the Corporation from such years of service. The imposition of inflexible term limits may not necessarily correlate with returns or benefits for stakeholders. Rather, the Board maintains a flexible approach to Board succession whereby it considers the addition of potential candidates in conjunction with its assessments of current directors and the Board as a whole. The Governance and Nominating Committee has an effective director evaluation process which is used at least annually and which the Board believes is a more effective method to assess the fitness for service on the Board than age or term served. Further, the Governance and Nominating Committee surveys each director individually prior to each meeting of shareholders at which directors are to be elected to determine whether each director has sufficient time to devote to his or her Board duties and whether there is any other reason for which such director does not believe he or she should stand for re-election. The Board believes that the above approach allows the Corporation to maintain an effective Board succession process.

A-6

Policies Regarding the Representation of Women on the Board

The Corporation has not adopted a written policy relating to the identification and nomination of women directors. The members of the Board have diverse backgrounds and expertise and were selected on the belief that the Corporation and its stakeholders would benefit materially from such a broad range of talent and experience. As the need for new directors or executive officers arises, the Governance and Nominating Committee assess candidates on the basis of knowledge, industry experience, financial literacy, professional ethics and business acumen. While the Governance and Nominating Committee recognize the potential benefits from new perspectives that could manifest through greater gender diversity and recognizes that diversity can enhance culture and create value for the Corporation and its stakeholders, the Corporation has not formally adopted a written diversity policy.

Consideration of the Representation of Women in the Director Identification and Selection Process

The Governance and Nominating Committee considers the level of representation of women as one of the factors in identifying and nominating candidates for election or re-election to the Board, by attempting to identify the most diverse (including gender-diverse) and inclusive pool of available candidates. The Corporation to date has sought to increase diversity at the Board level through the recruitment efforts of the Governance and Nominating Committee and the Board remains receptive to increasing the representation of women on the Board, as director turnover occurs. The Governance and Nominating Committee takes into consideration diversity (including gender diversity) as one of the many factors to maintain an appropriate mix and balance of diversity, attributes, skills and experience. The other factors that the Governance and Nominating Committee considers are: the competencies and skills that the Board considers to be necessary for the Board, as a whole, to possess; the competencies and skills that the Board considers each existing director to possess; the competencies and skills each new nominee will bring to the Board; the time and energy of the proposed nominee to devote to the Board tasks; the independence of the proposed nominee; and the understanding by the proposed nominee of the nature of the business and operations of the Corporation. Ultimately, Board appointments are based on merit measured against objective criteria, having due regard to the benefits of diversity in board composition, with the goal of maximizing the effectiveness of corporate decision-making and fulfilling the best interests of stakeholders.

Consideration Given to the Representation of Women in Executive Officer Appointments

The Corporation does consider the level of representation of women in executive officer positions when making executive officer appointments. The Corporation also considers the skills and experience necessary for the position, as well as each individual candidate’s competence, qualification, experience and performance regardless of gender, age, ethnic origin or other aspects of diversity when determining executive officer appointments. While the Corporation has not adopted a target regarding women in executive officer positions of the Corporation (discussed below), it is committed to advancing women, and other individuals representing a diversity of backgrounds, into leadership roles in the Corporation through mentoring, continuing educational development and succession planning processes.

A-7

Targets Regarding the Representation of Women on the Board and in Executive Officer Positions

The Corporation has not adopted a target regarding women on the Board, as the Board does not believe a fixed target regarding the representation of women on the Board or in senior leadership (including executive officer positions) would automatically result in the identification or selection of the most appropriate candidates for the Corporation’s specialized business and its current stage of operations. None (0%) of the directors on the Board are women. One (13%) of the executive officers of the Corporation is a woman. Diversity, including gender, age, nationality, cultural and educational background and business and other experience, is one of the factors that the Governance and Nominating Committee considers in identifying and nominating candidates for election or re-election to the Board. The Governance and Nominating Committee believes all of these factors are relevant to ensure high functioning board members and that establishing fixed targets based upon only one of these factors may disqualify desirable director candidates. Further, the Governance and Nominating Committee believes that appointments of directors and executive officers should be made, and should be perceived as being made, on the merits of individuals and that the adoption of a fixed target could interfere with the application of this approach. Merit is considered by the Governance and Nominating Committee against objective criteria, while having due regard to the benefits of diversity and to the needs of the Corporation. The Corporation is committed to providing an environment in which all employees and directors are treated with fairness and respect, and have equal access to opportunities for advancement based on skills and aptitude.

Background and Purpose

This Charter sets out the mandate, authority, responsibilities, structure and procedures of the board (the "Board") of directors (the "Directors") of TerraVest Industries Inc. (the "Corporation"). The Directors carry out their mandate and fulfill their responsibilities in conjunction with the boards of directors of the portfolio companies (i.e. the corporations and limited partnerships) in which the Corporation holds business investments (e.g. RJV and Diamond) (the Corporation and all of the portfolio companies of the Corporation from time to time being referred to herein as the "TerraVest Group") and the Senior Management Team of the TerraVest Group. References to the "Senior Management Team" include the chief executive officer and chief financial officer of the TerraVest Group and the president of each portfolio company in the TerraVest Group.

Authority

The organization of the Board and its authority are subject to any restrictions, limitations or requirements set out in the Corporation’s constating documents, including its articles and bylaws, as well as any restrictions and limitations or requirements set out under applicable laws, including the Business Corporations Act (Alberta) (the "Act"), Canadian securities laws as well as the standards, policies and guidelines of the stock exchange(s) on which the Corporation’s securities are listed (collectively, the "Applicable Law").

The Directors operate by delegating certain of their responsibilities and duties to management or committees of the Directors and by reserving certain responsibilities and duties to themselves.

satisfying themselves that the appropriate groups or individuals are doing the required work to discharge their duties in respect of any delegated matters.

For matters initially within the delegated authority of the Audit Committee or another body primarily accountable to the Board, approval of the Board will be based upon the recommendation of the relevant body to the Board.

4. Directors' Expectations of Management

The Directors expect each member of management to perform his or her duties, as may be reasonably assigned by the Directors from time to time, faithfully, diligently, to the best of his or her ability and in the best interests of the TerraVest Group.

Management may be asked to participate in any meeting of the Directors but in such event the Directors are expected to meet separately from management immediately before and after such meeting to ensure that the Directors function independently of management.

B-7

6. Evaluation

Each of the Directors is expected to agree to an evaluation of his or her individual performance as well as to a review of the collective performance of the Board and of each committee of the Board. In that regard, each year an informal survey is to be undertaken, which compares: (a) the performance of the Directors to this mandate; (b) the performance of the committees of the Directors to their respective charters; and (c) the performance of Directors to their applicable position descriptions and expected competencies and skills. Directors shall be encouraged to exercise their duties and responsibilities in a manner that is consistent with this Charter and with the best interests of the TerraVest Group and its shareholders generally.

7. Feedback from Shareholders

The Directors shall communicate with and receive feedback from stakeholders, including shareholders, in accordance with the policies and procedures the TerraVest Group may put in place from time to time.

8. Resources

The Board shall have the authority to retain independent legal, accounting and other consultants to advise it.

An individual Director shall be permitted to engage an outside legal or other advisor at the expense of the TerraVest Group where for example he or she is placed in a conflict position through activities of the TerraVest Group, but any such engagement shall be subject to the prior approval of the Governance and Nominating Committee.

9. Qualifications

Each Director shall have such skills and abilities appropriate to his or her appointment as a Director as shall be determined by the Board upon the recommendation of the Governance and Nominating Committee.

10. Independence

A majority of the Directors shall be "independent", "outside" and "unrelated" (collectively, "independent"), as affirmatively determined by the Board, which, for the purposes of this Charter shall mean:

(a) a Director who is independent of management and is free from any interest in any business or other relationship which could, or could reasonably be perceived to materially interfere with the Director's ability to act with a view to the best

B-8

interests of the Corporation, other than interests and relationships arising from shareholdings;

(b) a Director who has no direct or indirect material relationship with the Corporation (a material relationship is a relationship which could, in the view of the Board, reasonably interfere with the exercise of a Director's independent judgment), including any relationship explicitly considered to be material under National Instrument 52-110 of the Canadian Securities Administrators and any other applicable Canadian law or regulation;
(c) other than as a member of the Board or a committee of the Board, a Director who does not and has not accepted any consulting, advisory or compensatory fee from the Corporation; and
