If no choice is indicated for any item specified below, the shares represented by this Proxy will be voted as recommended by Management.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETION OF THIS PROXY:

  1. This Proxy must be dated and signed by the holder of the shares represented by this Proxy, or his or her attorney duly authorized in writing, or if the shareholder is a corporation or other legal entity, by an authorized officer or attorney.

Such right may be exercised by inserting the name of such person in the blank space provided on the other side of this Proxy. A person appointed as nominee to represent a shareholder doesn't need to be a shareholder of Transat.

If you appoint a proxyholder other than one of the three directors listed on the first page of this Proxy, YOU MUST return your proxy by mail, fax or email to TSX Trust and, if your proxyholder will attend the Meeting virtually, YOU MUST ALSO call TSX Trust at 1-866-751-6315 (toll free in Canada and the United States) or 1-416-682-3860 (other countries), or complete the online form at https://www.tsxtrust.com/control-number-request, by 10:00 a.m. (Montréal time) on April 25, 2025 (or 48 hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and statutory holidays, prior to the commencement of the reconvened Meeting if the Meeting is adjourned or postponed) to properly register your proxyholder, so that TSX Trust may provide such proxyholder with a 13-digit proxyholder control number via email.

Any of the joint holders of shares of Transat may sign a form of proxy in respect of such shares but, if more than one of them is present at the Meeting or represented by proxyholder, then that one of them whose name appears first in the register of the holders of such shares, or that one's proxyholder, will alone be entitled to vote in respect thereof.

Proxies must be received by Transat's transfer agent, TSX Trust Company ("TSX Trust") not later than 10:00 a.m. (Montréal time) on April 25, 2025 (or 48 hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and statutory holidays, prior to the commencement of the reconvened Meeting if the Meeting is adjourned or postponed) or with the Secretary of the Meeting prior to commencement of the meeting on the day of the Meeting or on the day of any adjournment thereof.
