CIRCULAR 2026

GENERAL INFORMATION

SOLICITATION OF PROXIES

This Management Proxy Circular (the “Circular”) is provided in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the management of TVA Group Inc. (the “Corporation” or “TVA”) for use at the annual meeting of shareholders of the Corporation to be held on Tuesday, May 12, 2026 (the “Meeting”) at the time and place and for the purposes mentioned in the Notice of 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and Availability of Materials and at any and all adjournments or postponement thereof.

Except as otherwise indicated, the information contained herein is given as at March 16, 2026. All dollar amounts appearing in this Circular are in Canadian dollars.

Proxies are solicited primarily by mail. However, proxies may also be solicited by telephone or in person by the directors, officers and regular employees of the Corporation, without additional compensation.

In addition, the Corporation shall, upon request, reimburse brokerage firms and other custodians for their reasonable expenses in forwarding proxies and related material to beneficial owners of shares of the Corporation. The cost of soliciting proxies shall be borne by the Corporation. The costs are expected to be nominal.

RECORD DATE

The holders of Class A common shares (the “Class A Shares”) whose names appear on the list of shareholders prepared at the close of business on March 16, 2026 (the “Record Date”) will be entitled to receive notice of the Meeting and to vote at the Meeting and any adjournment or postponement thereof if present or represented by proxy thereat.

The holders of Class B, participating, non-voting shares (the “Class B Non-Voting Shares”) are entitled to receive notice of the Meeting and to attend and participate at meetings of shareholders of the Corporation but are not entitled to vote.

A transferee of Class A Shares acquired (in total or in part) after the Record Date is entitled to vote those shares at the Meeting and at any adjournment or postponement thereof if he produces properly endorsed share certificates for such shares or if he otherwise establishes that he owns the shares and if he requires, no later than ten days before the Meeting, that his name be included on the list of shareholders entitled to vote at the Meeting.

VOTING SHARES AND MAJOR SHAREHOLDERS

The shares of the Corporation conferring the right to vote at the Meeting are the Class A Shares. Each Class A Share confers the right to one vote.

The Class B Non-Voting Shares are “restricted securities” (within the meaning of the relevant Canadian regulations respecting securities) in that they do not carry any voting rights.

As at March 16, 2026, 4,320,000 Class A Shares and 38,885,535 Class B Non-Voting Shares were issued and outstanding.

TVA
GROUP
Management Proxy Circular 2026


To the knowledge of the directors and executive officers of the Corporation, the only person who, on March 16, 2026, beneficially owned or exercised control over more than 10% of the Class A Shares of the Corporation was Quebecor Media Inc. ("QMI"). As of March 16, 2026, QMI directly held 4,318,512 Class A Shares representing 99.97% of all the voting rights attached to the issued and outstanding Class A Shares, and 25,220,852 Class B Non-Voting Shares, representing 64.86% of the issued and outstanding Class B Non-Voting Shares. As of March 16, 2026, QMI was owned directly and indirectly by Quebecor Inc. ("Quebecor" or "QI").

RIGHTS IN THE EVENT OF A TAKE-OVER BID

In the event that a take-over bid is made for the Class A Shares, there are no provisions in the applicable legislation nor in the Articles of the Corporation pursuant to which an offer must be made for the Class B Non-Voting Shares, and there is no other recourse for holders of Class B Non-Voting Shares pursuant to the Articles of the Corporation. If a take-over bid is made to both Class A Shares and Class B Non-Voting Shares, the offer made for the Class A Shares may be subject to different terms than the offer made to the Class B Non-Voting Shares.

VOTING OF SHARES BY CLASS A COMMON SHAREHOLDERS

Registered shareholders

A shareholder is a registered shareholder if his name appears on his share certificate.

A registered shareholder can vote his Class A Shares by completing the proxy form and by sending it by mail, fax or email.

Voting in person at the Meeting

The Corporation decided to hold its annual meeting this year in an audio webcast format. Shareholders will not be able to attend the meeting in person. Class A common shareholders ("Class A Shareholders") will not be able to vote during the audio webcast.

Voting by proxy

A shareholder may choose anyone to be his proxyholder. The person he chooses does not have to be a shareholder of the Corporation. The shareholder should simply insert the person's name in the blank space provided for such purpose on the form of proxy. If a name is not inserted in the blank space, then one of the directors named on the form of proxy, being Sylvie Lalande or A. Michel Lavigne, will be appointed to act as proxyholder.

The appointed proxyholder is authorized to vote and act on behalf of a shareholder at the Meeting, including any adjournment thereof. The shareholder should indicate on the form of proxy how he wants his shares to be voted. Alternatively, he can let his proxyholder decide for him. Please refer to section "Vote by proxyholders" of this Circular for additional details.

Revocation of a proxy

A registered shareholder who has given a proxy may revoke it at any time prior to its use, by instrument in writing executed by the shareholder or by his attorney duly authorized in writing. If the shareholder is a legal entity, the proxy may be revoked by a writing signed by an officer or duly authorized attorney. Such instrument should be delivered to TVA's Corporate Secretariat, located at 612 Saint-Jacques Street, 17th floor, Montréal, Québec, Canada, H3C 4M8, at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the Meeting or any adjournment thereof.

Voting by fax or by email

A registered shareholder who wishes to vote by fax or by email should follow the instructions appearing on his form of proxy.

TVA GROUP

Management Proxy Circular 2026


Non-registered shareholders (or beneficial owners)

A shareholder is a non-registered shareholder (or a beneficial owner) if a bank, trust corporation, securities broker or other financial institution as well as their representatives and other nominees holds shares for him (an “intermediary”). If shares appear in an account statement sent by a broker or by another intermediary to the shareholder, such shares are most likely not registered in the name of the shareholder, but rather in the name of an intermediary or a representative of that intermediary. As a result, the non-registered shareholder must ensure that his voting instructions are communicated to the appropriate person before the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. Without specific instructions, intermediaries are prohibited from voting their clients’ shares.

A shareholder who is not sure whether he is a registered or non-registered shareholder should contact TSX Trust Company, the Corporation’s transfer agent, at 1 800 387-0825 (toll free in Canada and the United States) or at 416 682-3860 (other countries).

Applicable securities laws and instruments, including National Instrument 54-101 Respecting Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer, require intermediaries of non-registered shareholders to seek their voting instructions in advance of the Meeting. Brokers and other intermediaries have their own procedures for sending materials and their own guidelines for the return of documents. Non-registered shareholders should follow these instructions to the letter if the voting rights attached to their shares are to be cast at the Meeting. Most intermediaries now delegate the responsibility of obtaining their clients’ instructions to a third party. A non-registered shareholder who receives a voting instruction form from such third party cannot use such form to vote directly at the Meeting as the voting instruction form must be returned to this third party in advance of the Meeting in order to have his shares voted or to appoint an alternative representative to attend the Meeting in person to vote such shares.

A non-registered shareholder may vote his Class A Shares that are held by its intermediary by completing the proxy form (voting instruction form) and by sending it by mail, fax or email.

Voting in person at the Meeting

The Corporation decided to hold its annual meeting this year in an audio webcast format. Shareholders will not be able to attend the meeting in person. Class A Shareholders will not be able to vote during the audio webcast.

Voting by proxy (voting instruction form)

A shareholder may choose anyone to be his proxyholder. The person he chooses does not have to be a shareholder of the Corporation. The shareholder should simply insert the person’s name in the blank space provided for such purpose on the voting instruction form. If a name is not inserted in the blank space, then one of the directors named on the voting instruction form, being Sylvie Lalande or A. Michel Lavigne, will be appointed to act as proxyholder.

The appointed proxyholder is authorized to vote and to act on behalf of a non-registered shareholder at the Meeting, including any adjournment or postponement thereof. The non-registered shareholder should indicate on the voting instruction form how he wants his shares to be voted. Alternatively, he can let his proxyholder decide for him. Please refer to section “Vote by proxyholders” of this Circular for additional details.

Revocation of a proxy

A non-registered shareholder who has given a proxy may revoke it by contacting his intermediary in respect of such proxy and by complying with any applicable requirements imposed by such intermediary. The intermediary may not be able to revoke a proxy if it receives insufficient notice of revocation.

Voting by fax or by email

A non-registered shareholder who wishes to send a proxy by fax or by email should follow the instructions appearing on the voting instruction form.

TVA
Management Proxy Circular 2026


Vote by proxyholders

The proxyholders whose names are printed on the form of proxy or the voting instruction form are directors of the Corporation. If a registered shareholder or a beneficial owner wants to appoint a proxyholder to represent him at the Meeting other than those whose names are printed on the form of proxy or voting instruction form, he may do so by entering the name of such person in the space provided to that effect.

If the registered shareholder or the beneficial owner is not a natural person, the form of proxy or voting instruction form must be signed by an officer or a duly authorized agent of said registered shareholder or beneficial owner. A proxyholder need not be a shareholder of the Corporation.

Exercise of voting right

The proxyholders previously designated on the form of proxy or voting instruction form, will vote, or abstain from voting, the shares in respect of which they are appointed on any ballot in accordance with the instructions of the shareholder appointing them on any vote, and subject to applicable laws and regulations.

If no instructions are received, the voting rights pertaining to the shares represented by a form of proxy or voting instruction form will be voted as follows:

  • FOR the election of each of the proposed nominees for directorship;
  • FOR the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP ("Ernst & Young") as external auditor of the Corporation.

The proxy confers discretionary authority upon the persons named therein with respect to all amendments to matters identified in the Notice of Meeting and to any other matter which may properly come before the Meeting. At the time of printing this Circular, management of the Corporation knows of no such amendments, variations or other matters to be brought before the Meeting.

Date and time limits

The date and time limits to send your form of proxy or to submit your voting instructions, as the case may be, have been fixed at 5:00 p.m. (EDT), on Friday, May 8, 2026, or, if the Meeting is postponed, no later than 5:00 p.m. two business days prior to the day fixed for the postponed Meeting, in the event of an adjournment or postponement. Shareholders who receive materials from their intermediary should complete the voting instruction form and submit it to them as instructed on the voting instruction form. The proxy voting deadline may be waived or extended by the Chair of the Meeting at his discretion, without notice.

Rules of conduct for the virtual Meeting

Class A Shareholders and Class B participating, non-voting shareholders will be able to ask questions by emailing them in advance to [email protected] under the subject line "AGM Question" by Friday, May 8, 2026, or during the Meeting via the online platform.

During the Meeting questions may be submitted in writing by using the relevant dialog box by clicking on the appropriate icon. It is recommended to shareholders to submit their questions as soon as possible during the Meeting so they can be addressed at the right time.

The Chair of the Board and other members of management present at the Meeting will answer questions at the end of the Meeting during the question period. The Chair of the Meeting is responsible for ensuring that the Meeting is conducted in an orderly manner. She maintains order and exercises all the powers required to that end. The Chair's decisions are final and are not subject to appeal.

So that as many questions as possible are answered, shareholders are asked to be brief and concise and to address only one topic per question. Questions from multiple shareholders on the same topic or that are otherwise related will be grouped, summarized and answered together.

TVA GROUP

Management Proxy Circular 2026


All shareholders questions are welcome. However, the Corporation does not intend to address questions that:

  • are irrelevant to the Corporation’s operations or to the business of the Meeting;
  • are related to non-public information about the Corporation;
  • are related to personal grievances;
  • constitute derogatory references to individuals or that are otherwise offensive to third parties;
  • are repetitious or have already been asked by other shareholders;
  • are in furtherance of a shareholder’s personal or business interest; or
  • are out of order or not otherwise appropriate as determined by the Chair or Secretary of the Meeting in their reasonable judgment.

For any questions asked but not answered during the Meeting, shareholders may contact the Corporation at [email protected].

The Corporation intends to offer a forum in which, to the extent possible using the electronic solutions available at the time of the Meeting, shareholders can adequately communicate during the Meeting. A webcast of the Meeting will be available on the Corporation’s website at www.groupetva.ca.

In the event of technical malfunction or other significant problem that disrupts the Meeting, the Chair of the Meeting may adjourn, recess, or expedite the Meeting, or take such other action as the Chair of the Meeting determines is appropriate considering the circumstances.

Additional disclosure relating to nominees

To the knowledge of the Corporation, no director nominee is or has been, within the last ten years, a director, chief executive officer or chief financial officer of any company that (a) was subject to a cease trade or similar order or an order that denied the relevant company access to any exemption under securities legislation, for a period of more than 30 consecutive days, that was issued while the director nominee was acting in the capacity of director, chief executive officer or chief financial officer; or (b) was subject to a cease trade order or similar order or an order that denied the relevant company access to any exemption under securities legislation, for a period of more than 30 consecutive days, that was issued after the director nominee ceased to be a director, chief executive officer or chief financial officer and which resulted from an event that occurred while the director nominee was acting in that capacity.

Furthermore, to the knowledge of the Corporation, no director nominee has been, within the last ten years, a) bankrupt, made a proposal under any legislation relating to bankruptcy or insolvency, or became subject to or instituted any proceedings, arrangement or compromise with creditors, or had a receiver, receiver manager or trustee appointed to hold its assets; or (b) a director or executive officer of any company, while the director nominee was acting in that capacity or within a year of the director nominee ceasing to act in that capacity, became bankrupt, made a proposal under any legislation relating to bankruptcy or insolvency or was subject to or instituted any proceedings, arrangement or compromise with creditors or had a receiver, receiver manager or trustee appointed to hold its assets, except for the person mentioned below.

Based on information provided by A. Michel Lavigne, on August 16, 2016, the Financial Markets Administrative Tribunal (the "Tribunal") imposed an administrative monetary penalty of $20,000 against Mr. Lavigne. The Tribunal found that the directors of NSTEIN Technologies Inc. ("NSTEIN"), a reporting issuer, had executed in 2010 a securities transaction by adopting a Board resolution granting NSTEIN stock options to three of its officers as well as to certain other employees of NSTEIN while in possession of privileged information.

GOVERNANCE INFORMATION

The following section provides shareholders and other interested parties with key information about TVA corporate governance practices, in compliance with the information and listing requirements of the Toronto Stock Exchange as well as with the rules regarding governance stated in National Policy 58-201 Corporate Governance Guidelines and National Instrument 58-101 Disclosure of Corporate Governance Policies.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Composition of the Board

The Chair of the Board identifies, according to the needs of the Corporation, director nominees and consults the members of the HRCG in that regard. She reviews the criteria for the selection of directors by assessing, on the one hand, skills, personal qualities, business experience and diversity of experience within the Board, as well as female representation and that of visible minorities, aboriginals and persons with disabilities, and, on the other hand, the needs of the Corporation.

Also, the conditions attached to the broadcasting licences of the Corporation stipulate that a maximum of 40% of the directors of the Corporation can be members, or previous members, of the Board of Directors of QI or QMI, or of any Board of Directors of a company controlled directly or indirectly by QI or QMI.

The Corporation does not have a policy regarding majority voting for the election of directors which requires that a director who has not received the majority of the votes in favour of his or her election has to resign. The adoption of such a policy is not required since QMI holds substantially all voting shares of the Corporation. For this reason, the Corporation is exempted from the majority voting requirement under the Toronto Stock Exchange rules.

TVA GROUP

Management Proxy Circular 2026


Advance notice for the submission of director nominations

The Corporation adopted an Advance Notice By-Law for the submission of director nominations (the “By-Law”), which was ratified by shareholders in May 2015. The By-Law sets the conditions under which holders of record of Class A Shares of the Corporation may exercise their right to submit director nominations by fixing a deadline by which such nominations must be submitted by a shareholder to the Corporation prior to any annual or special meeting of shareholders.

Under the By-Law, any shareholder who wishes to submit director nominations must notify in writing TVA’s Corporate Secretariat in a timely manner, located at 612 St-Jacques Street, 17th floor, Montréal, Québec, H3C 4M8. To be timely, a shareholder’s notice must be received (i) in the case of an annual meeting of shareholders, not less than 30 days prior to the date of the annual meeting, or of any postponement or adjournment thereof, provided that if the annual meeting of shareholders is to be held on a date that is less than 50 days after the date on which the first public announcement of the annual meeting was made, notice by the shareholder may be made not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the public announcement; and (ii) in the case of a special meeting of shareholders (which is not also an annual meeting) called for the purpose of electing directors, not later than the close of business on the 15th day following the first public announcement of the date of the special meeting. The form and content of the notice are also prescribed by the By-Law. The Board may, in its sole discretion, waive any requirement of the By-Law.

For the purposes of the By-Law, “public announcement” of a meeting shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by a national news service in Canada, or in a document publicly filed by the Corporation on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

INDEPENDENCE OF NOMINEES FOR ELECTION

Within the meaning of section 1.4 of National Instrument 52-110 – Audit Committees of the Canadian Securities Administrators (“CSA”), an independent director is a director who has no direct or indirect material relationship with the Corporation, namely a relationship which could, in the view of the Board, be reasonably expected to interfere with the exercise of the director’s independent judgment. For guidance in its analysis, the HRCG, then the Board, refer to the CSA criteria for director independence. To this end, all nominees for election complete each year a detailed questionnaire including their business relationships.

After review of the roles and relations of each nominee, all of the nominees for election to the Board, with the exception of Marie-Pierre Simard, are independent of the Corporation.

DIVERSITY AND REPRESENTATION OF WOMEN ON THE BOARD AND IN SENIOR MANAGEMENT

The Corporation recognizes the benefits of having diversity on its Board, in its executive roles and throughout the organization as a whole.

The selection procedure for candidates for election as directors encourages the search for a diversity of experience among the nominees. When assessing the composition of the Board, the Board uses objective criteria having due regard to the benefits of diversity and the needs of the Corporation. The Board acknowledges the important role members of designated groups (i.e. women, visible minorities, Aboriginal peoples and persons with disabilities), with appropriate and relevant skills

TVA GROUP
Management Proxy Circular 2026


and experience can play in contributing to different viewpoints and perspectives and is committed to increasing the representation of these groups. Board turnover occurs from time to time and members of designated groups are identified, taking into account the skills, background, experience and knowledge desired at that particular time by the Board and its committees.

Four out of seven of the nominees for election to the Board self-identify¹ as members of designated groups i.e. women, persons with disabilities, Aboriginal peoples or visible minorities. Three self-identify as women and one self-identifies as a woman and as a member of a visible minority.

Representation of Women on the Board

The Board has always been sensitive to the question of female representation on the Board, believing that diversity leads to richer exchanges. Currently, four out of seven nominees standing for election are women, a proportion of 57%. Among them, one woman chairs the Board as well as the HRCG.

The nomination process is based on a comprehensive assessment of nominees, notably based on the skills, experience and professional qualifications of each individual. In this regard, the Board pays particular attention to the representation of women among its members. Although no formal quantitative policy or target has been adopted, the Board remains mindful of maintaining and strengthening this representation in the course of its renewal work.

Representation of Women in Management

The Corporation aims to have a significant number of women throughout the organization. As a matter of fact, several women hold senior management positions within the Corporation. As at December 31, 2025, 43.62% of management positions within the Corporation were held by women, which represents a strong succession to senior management.

Specific targets or percentages with respect to diversity are not currently set for senior management positions given that such appointments are based on a set of criteria, including the merits, experience and skills of the person. However, appointments to senior management positions consider, inter alia, the representation of women. Out of 10 senior executives of the Corporation and its subsidiaries, seven are women, a proportion of 70%.

The first chart hereunder indicates the ratio of the representation of women and men among the nominees for election to the Board and the second chart indicates the ratio of the representation of women in senior management of TVA and its subsidiaries.

¹ Diversity disclosure relies on voluntary self-identification by the candidates for election as directors and therefore only represents the information of individuals who have chosen to self-identify.

TVA GROUP

Management Proxy Circular 2026


In addition, to encourage and support the next generation of women in the television industry, TVA has set up in 2019 an action plan aimed at achieving parity by 2025, with an overall percentage of 50% women in its original French-language productions for the key roles of director, producer and screenwriter. The action plan is made up of three components: incentives for more women to occupy key positions and supports various joint initiatives to enhance female leadership and ensure better representation of women in the industry. Notably, a January 2026 report by TVA states that 51% of women occupy the roles of producer, director and screenwriter in original programming broadcast on TVA's network and specialty channels in 2024-2025. TVA is therefore proud to have achieved its ambitious goal and to have contributed to a remarkable increase in women's participation in television projects. TVA intends to continue its initiatives to promote gender equality in the key creative roles within its productions.

BOARD INTERLOCKS

The Board does not limit the number of its directors who sit on the same Board of Directors of another reporting issuer but reviews interlocking board memberships and believes disclosing them is important. As of this date, none of the nominees standing for election sit together on other reporting issuers' Boards of Directors.

MANDATE OF THE BOARD

The mandate of the Board is to assume stewardship of the Corporation's overall administration and to oversee the management of the Corporation's operations. The Board has approved and adopted an official mandate that describes its composition, responsibilities and operation (the "Mandate of the Board"). The Mandate of the Board is reviewed annually by the HRCG which, when it deems it appropriate, recommends to the Board that changes be made.

The Mandate of the Board provides that the Board is responsible for supervising the management of the Corporation's business and affairs, with the objective of increasing value for the shareholders. Although management manages the Corporation's day-to-day operations, the Board is responsible for stewardship of the Corporation and, as such, it must efficiently and independently supervise the business of the Corporation.

A copy of the Mandate of the Board is annexed hereto as Schedule "A" and is also available on the Corporation's website at www.groupetva.ca.

POSITION DESCRIPTIONS

The Board has developed detailed position descriptions for the Chair of the Board, Vice Chair of the Board and for the Chair of each Board committee. They are reviewed annually by the HRCG which, if deemed appropriate, recommends to the Board that changes be made.

The Chair of the Board is responsible for the operation of the Board. She ensures that the Board fully executes its mandate and that the directors clearly understand and respect the boundaries between the responsibilities of the Board and the responsibilities of management. The Vice Chair of the Board performs all the functions of the Chair of the Board during her absence or inability to act.

If the Chair of the Board is not an independent director, a Lead Director is designated from among the independent directors. The Lead Director provides an independent leadership within the Board and maintains or improves the quality of the Corporation's governance practices. He works in cooperation with the Chair of the Board to ensure the good operation and efficiency of the Board.

According to the position description for each committee Chair, the principal role of the committee Chair is to ensure that the committee fully executes its mandate. Committee Chairs must report on a regular basis to the Board regarding the activities of their committee.

The Board has not adopted a written position description for the President and Chief Executive Officer. However, the President and Chief Executive Officer manages the business and affairs of the Corporation. His main responsibilities include establishing strategic direction and the day-to-day management of the Corporation.

TVA
Management Proxy Circular 2026


STRATEGIC PLAN

The Board supervises and directs the Corporation’s strategic planning process so as to ensure that management establishes and implements appropriate strategies. Responsibility for submitting and recommending the strategic plan, and for explaining the strategy options available to the Board as well as the key aspects of the plan, lies mainly with management.

SUCCESSION PLAN

The Board, supported by the HRCG, ensures that a succession plan is in place for the members of senior management of the Corporation. Annually, the HRCG reviews the succession plan of TVA in close cooperation with the Human Resources services of QMI in order to identify potential successors coming from all subsidiaries of the group. This does not prevent seeking an external candidate for certain positions. The annual succession planning process includes three components: senior management succession, positions deemed critical and promising candidates.

During this process, the profile of the persons occupying positions deemed critical and their potential successors are thoroughly analyzed by the HRCG. Promising candidates are identified, and management ensures that an appropriate professional development plan is at the forefront for each of them. The Chair of the HRCG reports to the Board on the succession plan.

ORIENTATION AND CONTINUING EDUCATION

Each director has access at any time, via the electronic portal dedicated to directors, to a Guide for directors (the “Guide”) which is updated continuously. The Guide contains, among other things, the mandates and working plans of the Board and the committees, as well as useful information about the Corporation.

Upon their appointment, the new directors are invited to an orientation session to receive training on the Corporation’s electronic portal, allowing them to identify any useful information about TVA contained in the Guide. The Chair of the Board, together with the Corporate Secretary, assist them in their learning process as directors of the Corporation and inform them of the governance practices of the Corporation and particularly of the role of the Board, of its committees and of each director. Senior management of TVA also provides historical and forward-looking information regarding the Corporation’s market position, operations and financial situation, so as to ensure that the directors understand the nature, functioning and orientations of the Corporation.

Board members are expected to inform themselves on questions that are likely to have repercussions on the activities and governance system of the Corporation and on other relevant questions. Members of senior management regularly make presentations to the Board regarding TVA’s principal business sectors and on the major trends anticipated with regard to its main activities.

Each year, the directors attend the strategic meeting of the Board where the main orientations and strategic plans of the Corporation and its subsidiaries are presented and approved.

Moreover, aware of the importance for the directors of keeping their knowledge and skills up to date, of improving themselves and of acquiring new competencies relevant to board service, and after evaluating the different means that would allow the directors to always remain well informed about the regulatory environment and the latest trends in corporate governance, the Corporation offers all directors the possibility of attending training sessions organized by specialized firms on topics of interest, for which TVA covers the expenses.

Such trainings may deal with strategic management, risk management, performance measurement and management, financial information and management, human resources, succession management, compensation and ESG criteria, and are aimed at helping the directors to fully play their role. In 2025, directors took part in a number of events in a variety of relevant fields to fulfill their roles and have undergone training on artificial intelligence and on the digital transformation of publications.

In addition, many directors participate on their own initiative in various training events on topics related to their roles on the Board, given by academic institutions, professional orders and similar bodies, or act as guest speakers on topics related to their duties as corporate directors.

TVA GROUP

Management Proxy Circular 2026


Directors have also access, through the electronic portal, to relevant media reports and other documentation to keep them informed of any developments affecting the Corporation or its regulatory environment. In addition, directors can communicate at any time with members of senior management to discuss presentations made to the Board or any other questions of interest.

ETHICAL BUSINESS CONDUCT AND VARIOUS INTERNAL POLICIES

The Corporation's reputation and the trust and confidence of those with whom it deals are an integral part of its success. TVA is committed to managing its business in accordance with a set of values that adhere to the highest standards of integrity and excellence.

In this context, the Corporation has adopted a Code of Ethics (the "Code") to ensure that its directors, officers and employees and those of its subsidiaries, act in accordance with those values. The Code is given to all employees at the time of their hiring and they undertake to abide by the Code.

The Human Resources manager jointly with the Vice-President, Internal Audit, QMI, are responsible for sending the Code to all employees each year and for obtaining their confirmation that they have taken note of it. The Corporation revises the Code regularly to ensure that it reflects the evolution of the Corporation's industry. A new edition of the Code is made available to employees whenever any changes have been made.

The most recent review of the Code was conducted in 2023. The Code has been updated in order to regulate the use of social media by the Corporation's employees and, more specifically, to specify the obligations of the Corporation's employees when they make an evaluation, a comment or a review of a product or service of the Corporation or those of an affiliate on social media. The Code may be consulted on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and on the Corporation's website at www.groupetva.ca. The HRCG reviews and approves all amendments made to the Code.

The Vice-President, Internal Audit of QMI reports on a quarterly basis to the Audit and Risk Management Committee on all ethics complaints (related to conflicts of interest, files and registers of the Corporation, the use of assets of the Corporation and confidential information), insider trading transactions, the Corporation's funds and its conduct in competition matters reported to him through the whistleblower ethics hotline operated by an independent third party and/or directly by the Human Resources department and the steps taken by the Corporation to correct them, if required. The Chair of the Audit and Risk Management Committee reports to the Board at each regular meeting. The Vice-President, Internal Audit of QMI also reports annually to the HRCG on all complaints received.

Neither the Board nor the HRCG have allowed departures from the Code by a director or an executive officer over the past twelve months or during any part of 2025. Accordingly, no material change report was needed or filed.

The Audit and Risk Management Committee reviews related party transactions. Every year, directors and executives of the Corporation must declare in a questionnaire any conflict of interests and have the obligation to inform the Corporation of any changes that might occur thereafter. The Secretary of the Corporation reviews the questionnaires of the directors. He also reports to the HRCG. If a director is in a situation of conflict of interests during any discussions occurring at a meeting of the Board or one of its committees, he must declare his interest and withdraw from the meeting so as not to participate in the discussions or in any decisions which may be made. This is noted in the minutes of the meeting.

In addition to monitoring compliance with the Code, the Board has adopted various internal policies to encourage and promote a culture of ethical business conduct. In particular, the Board has approved a Policy relating to the use of privileged information and insider trading transactions which reminds directors, senior executives and employees of the Corporation who have access to confidential information likely to affect the market price or value of the Corporation's securities or of any third party, party to significant negotiations, that they may not trade in shares of TVA or of the third party involved as long as the information has not been fully made public and as long as a reasonable period of time has not elapsed since the public disclosure. Furthermore, the directors and officers of the Corporation and all other persons who are insiders of TVA may not trade in securities of TVA during certain periods set forth in the said policy. This policy also prohibits insiders from purchasing certain financial instruments as more fully described in the section entitled "Compensation-Related Risk Management Practices" of the Compensation Discussion & Analysis of this Circular.

TVA GROUP

Management Proxy Circular 2026


Finally, the Disclosure Policy ensures that disclosure to the investing public regarding the Corporation is made in a timely manner, in keeping with the facts, accurately and widely, in accordance with the applicable statutory and regulatory requirements.

TERM LIMIT FOR DIRECTORSHIP AND AGE LIMIT TO SIT ON THE BOARD

The Corporation has not set an age limit to sit on the Board or established a term limit for directors' mandate. The HRCG and the Board are of the opinion that requiring directors to retire at a certain age would deprive the Board of valuable inputs from directors who have acquired experience, expertise, and extensive knowledge of the Corporation over the years. We believe that a director may act independently from management even if he has been on the Board for several years.

The Corporation considers that the criteria that should prevail in the selection of nominees for director positions are the nominees' knowledge and experience. However, the Corporation endeavors to strike a balance between the need to include members with extensive experience of the Corporation on one hand, and the need to renew and have new perspectives on the other.

The following chart indicates the number of years of service of the directors who are nominated for election, for an average of 13 years.

img-10.jpeg

If we consider the 12 years during which Jacques Dorion was a director, from 2001 to 2013, this average would be of 14.71 years.

ASSESSMENT

The Mandate of the Board provides that it has the responsibility for assessing the committees. Each Committee Chair reports to the Board annually on the work carried out during the most recently completed fiscal year and provides the Board with a certification indicating whether the committee has covered the required elements of its mandate. The Chair of the Board evaluates the effectiveness of the Board in cooperation with the directors.

COMMITTEES

In order to facilitate the performance of its duties and responsibilities and meet the requirements of applicable laws and regulations, the Board has established two standing committees, the Audit and Risk Management Committee and the HRCG, both composed of independent directors. The Board normally appoints the members of these committees for a one-year term following the annual meeting of shareholders.

Audit and Risk Management Committee

The Audit and Risk Management Committee assists the Board in overseeing i) the effectiveness of internal and financial controls and reporting, ii) the quality and integrity of the presentation of the financial statements and financial information and iii) the processes of identifying and managing enterprise risks of the Corporation. The Audit and Risk Management

TVA GROUP

Management Proxy Circular 2026


Committee also oversees TVA’s compliance with financial covenants and legal and regulatory requirements governing financial disclosure matters and financial risk management.

In 2025, the Audit and Risk Management Committee was composed exclusively of independent directors, namely A. Michel Lavigne, Chairman and Nathalie Elgrably-Lévy and Daniel Paillé.

All the minutes of the Audit and Risk Management Committee are submitted to the Board of the Corporation for information, and the Committee Chair also reports to the Board on its activities. A copy of the mandate of the Audit and Risk Management Committee is available on the Corporation’s website at www.groupetva.ca.

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS

All the directors, who are not executive officers of the Corporation, received during the financial year ended December 31, 2025, the following compensation:

| Annual Compensation | Cash
($) | DSUs
($) |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Chair of the Board^{1} | 65,000 | 15,000^{2} |
| Directors | 40,000 | 15,000^{2} |
| Vice Chair of the Board | 2,500 | - |

| Members of the Audit and Risk Management Committee
(except Chair) | 13,000 | - |
| Members of the HRCG
(except Chair) | 9,000 | - |

  1. The Chair of the Board does not receive additional compensation for acting as director nor for acting as Chair or member of a committee.
  2. When the required minimum shareholding described in the section entitled “Policy Regarding Minimum Shareholding by Directors” of this Circular is reached, the director may elect to reduce to a minimum of $10,000 per year the amount he receives in DSUs and increase by the same amount the portion to be received in cash.

Directors’ DSU Plan

In order to further align the interests of directors with those of its shareholders, the Corporation has implemented a Directors’ DSU Plan (the “DSU Plan”). Under the DSU Plan, as long as a director who is not a member of senior management has not reached the minimum shareholding requirement, he must receive at least $15,000 per year of his compensation as director in the form of DSUs (“Mandatory Portion”). When the required minimum shareholding described in the section entitled “Policy Regarding Minimum Shareholding by Directors” of this Circular is reached, the Mandatory Portion is reduced to a minimum of $10,000 per year. Subject to certain conditions, each director may elect to receive in the form of DSUs up to 100% of the total fees payable for his services as a director.

Directors are credited, on the last day of each fiscal quarter of the Corporation, a number of DSUs determined on the basis of the amounts payable to such director in respect of such fiscal quarter, divided by the value of a DSU. The value of a DSU corresponds to the weighted average trading price of the Class B Non-Voting Shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange over the five trading days immediately preceding such date. The DSUs take the form of a credit to the account of the director who may not convert such DSUs into cash as long as he remains a director. DSUs are not transferable other than through a will or other testamentary instrument, or in accordance with succession laws.

DSUs entitle holders thereof to dividends paid in the form of additional DSUs at the same rate applicable to dividends paid from time to time on Class B Non-Voting Shares.

Under the DSU Plan, all or part of the DSUs credited to a director are redeemed by the Corporation at the director’s request and the value thereof paid upon the director ceasing to serve as a director of the Corporation. The redemption of such DSUs must occur no later than December 15 of the first calendar year after the year in which the participant ceased to qualify as a participant in the DSU Plan. During the past fiscal year, 98,399 DSUs were redeemed by the Corporation.

For purposes of the redemption of DSUs, the value of a DSU corresponds to the market value of a Class B Non-Voting Share on the redemption date, being the closing price of Class B Non-Voting Shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange on the last trading day preceding such date.

Management Proxy Circular 2026


Policy Regarding Minimum Shareholding by Directors

The Board approved a policy regarding minimum shareholding by directors which came into force on May 5, 2015. Since that date, each director of the Corporation who is not an executive officer is required, within six years of (i) the time when he becomes a director of the Corporation or (ii) the adoption of the policy regarding minimum shareholding by directors, whichever is later, to hold shares or DSUs of the Corporation, with a value of at least twice the basic annual fee received in cash (which currently stands at $40,000) as a director (the “Minimum Shareholding Requirement”) and, in the case of the Chair of the Board, a value equivalent to the Minimum Shareholding Requirement for directors.

Once the six-year period has expired, each director who is not an executive officer of the Corporation shall hold such value throughout his mandate.

The following table sets forth the details of the annual compensation paid to the directors for the year 2025.

img-2.jpeg

Chair: Sylvie Lalande

Members: A. Michel Lavigne and Jacques Dorion

The HRCG supports the Board in its responsibilities relating to the appointment, evaluation and compensation of senior management, the supervision of the succession planning process, the development of the approach to corporate governance issues and the identification of new nominees for election as directors.

Members

The HRCG is composed of three independent directors within the meaning of the CSA's regulations, being Sylvie Lalande, Chair of the committee, A. Michel Lavigne and Jacques Dorion. Based on their professional background, education and involvement on boards of directors, all members, individually and collectively, have the required experience to ensure that the HRCG effectively fulfils its mandate.

Throughout her career, Sylvie Lalande has held several management positions including one at the Corporation that led her to monitor various aspects of executive compensation. Ms. Lalande is Chair of the Board and Chair of the Human Resources and Corporate Governance Committee of QI and QMI. She was also Chair of the Corporate Governance and Human Resources Committee of Ovivo Inc. until September 2016 and Chair of the Governance Committee of Capital régional et coopératif Desjardins until December 2019. In addition, she attended the Corporate Governance University Certification Program of the CAS with respect to various topics relating to talent management and executive compensation as well as the governance program relating to pension plans.

As for Mr. Lavigne, he was President and Chief Executive Officer of Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton for many years. As such, he has acquired a relevant experience in managing and monitoring compensation programs. In addition, Mr. Lavigne is a corporate director since many years and was Chair of the Pension Committee of Canada Post Corporation until May 2018. Mr. Lavigne was also a member of the Human Resources and Corporate Governance Committee of Laurentian Bank of Canada.

Risk Assessment

The HRCG has assessed the risks associated with the executive officers’ compensation plans and envisions no incentive for members of senior management to take excessive risks for personal financial gain. A detailed examination of the risk assessment is included in the “Compensation-Related Risk Management Practices” section of this Circular.

Mandate

Among the HRCG’s responsibilities, the following are included:

  • Review annually the organizational structure and ensure the establishment of a succession plan for senior management;

  • Ensure that TVA has a competitive compensation structure so as to attract, motivate and retain qualified individuals that the Corporation requires to meet its business objectives;
  • Ensure that the policies and compensation programs in place do not encourage executives to take excessive risks or do not encourage them to make profitable short-term decisions that could undermine the long-term viability of TVA;
  • Recommend to the Board the corporate governance practices it deems appropriate; and
  • Supervise disclosure of the Corporation’s corporate governance practices and consider the independence of directors.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS

2025 HIGHLIGHTS IN EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

To ensure its growth and to protect its market share in the television broadcasting sector, the Corporation must execute strategies, achieve its business objectives, invest in television and digital content, comply with regulations, manage skills and develop its leaders, as well as address the challenges posed by competitors and the overall economic environment. In light of this, we decided to maintain, in 2025, our practices with regard to base salary, long-term incentives, employee benefits, pensions and other benefits as in 2024. Pursuant to the rules of the Corporation's Short-Term Incentive Plan, an annual incentive bonus was paid to Louis-Philippe Neveu, Patrick Jutras and Nathalie Fabien under the short-term portion of the incentive plan, given that the payment trigger (adjusted EBITDA target¹ for the Corporation or its business units, as applicable) has been reached for them. No bonus payments were made to Pierre Karl Péladeau or Marjorie Daoust, as the payment trigger has not been reached with respect to them for their mandate at the Corporation.

Each year, the HRCG analyzes the appropriateness of granting stock options and, as necessary, they are granted considering the individual's level of responsibility, performance and contribution, as well as the Corporation's performance.

In 2025, 205,000 stock options have been granted representing 0.53% of the issued and outstanding Class B Non-Voting Shares as at December 31st, 2025.

COMPENSATION PRINCIPLES

Executive officers compensation is based on a principle that is linked to performance. This contributes to long-term value for shareholders through the implementation and achievement of the business strategy of the Corporation and its subsidiaries. The Corporation must continually ensure it offers competitive compensation to not only attract, but also retain, talented employees, who are a key to its success. TVA also believes that compensation must link personal involvement of senior management to the change in the Corporation's share price.

In addition, compensation components offered to the holder of a position must be consistent with that person's scope of influence. As such, the higher a position is in the Corporation and the bigger the influence this position has on the Corporation's consolidated results, the larger the portion of this person's compensation envelope that will be at risk (variable), dependent on the achievement of consolidated corporate objectives and aligned with the total shareholder return.

TVA considers performance and skills fundamental factors for its employees' salary growth and determination of their overall compensation. Thus, the overall compensation of executive officers is also based on principles of fairness in recognizing attitudes, abilities and skills, such as:

External equity Offers compensation that is commensurate with that offered for equivalent positions in the reference market.
Internal equity Determines the relative value of positions and their classification in the salary structure which meets internal pay equity requirements between executive officers.
Individual equity Considers the employee’s individual performance and contribution in the determination of individual compensation.

TVA GROUP

Management Proxy Circular 2026


OBJECTIVES OF COMPENSATION COMPONENTS

Compensation for the Interim President and Chief Executive Officer, the Vice-President, Finance and the other three most highly compensated members of senior management of TVA who held their positions as at December 31, 2025 (collectively the "Named Executive Officers") may consist of one or more of the following components according to the objectives to prioritize:

Compensation Components Description Reasons Eligibility
Fixed Base Salary Annual cash compensation commensurate with skills, responsibilities, individual performance and the reference market • Attract, retain, motivate and provide financial security
• Recognize individuals’ attitudes, abilities, skills and accomplishments All employees
At risk (variable) Short-Term Incentive Annual cash incentive if financial and strategic objectives are achieved • Motivate to achieve, or exceed, short-term strategic and business objectives Professionals and senior positions
Long-Term Incentive Stock option plan of the Corporation and QI, as the case may be. Compensation value varies depending on the position occupied within the organization and the impact of the individual’s contribution on results and on the establishment and deployment of the strategy. This compensation component is at risk • Provide a retention tool for participants
• Align participants’ interests with those of the shareholders
• Promote behaviours and decision-making required for the Corporation to continue on a trajectory of cautious long-term growth
• Link total long-term compensation to performance or share value growth Certain senior managers and executive officers
Indirect Non-wage benefits Flexible plans that may differ among subsidiaries • Support and promote employee health and well-being (both physical and financial) All employees
Pension Defined benefit pension plan for senior executives or a defined contribution pension plan for other employees hired before June 30, 2016 and a RRSP/DPSP for the other employees • Provide financial security during retirement All employees
Perquisites Car allowance and a complete annual medical evaluation • Promote optimization of workdays
• Promote health on a competitive basis Senior managers and certain general managers

HORIZON AND OBJECTIVES OF DIRECT COMPENSATION COMPONENTS

Under current program, a portion of the compensation of the Named Executive Officers is linked to the growth in the share price of the Corporation. The Corporation believes that personal involvement of executive officers in the Corporation’s shareholding allows for aligning long-term interests of executive officers with those of the shareholders and that it discourages excessive risk-taking.

Beyond salary, at-risk compensation components balance several priorities. In the short term, the compensation is linked to the achievement of annual individual and group priorities and the long-term compensation is aligned with the cumulative total shareholder return. Thus, a portion of the Named Executive Officers’ compensation is at-risk, deferred and aligned with share price.

TVA GROUP

Management Proxy Circular 2026


The HRCG may enhance any of these components, as it sees fit, to reward a promotion, improve retention, show recognition or balance out the other compensation components.

No policy prevents the HRCG from awarding or, when applicable, recommending to the Board a bonus even if one or more performance objectives have not been reached or from increasing or decreasing an award or payment.

The HRCG periodically reviews the competitiveness of members of senior management compensation. Compensation offered by the Corporation is defined based on (i) the reference market (ii) the target positioning in the desired market (iii) the employee's performance and (iv) the Corporation's financial resources.

Other factors used to determine executive compensation include experience, performance during the relevant period and potential performance in future periods. When reviewing compensation, the HRCG does not specifically establish a median or percentile for the total compensation of the Interim President and Chief Executive Officer, Vice-Presidents or Directors.

INDEPENDENT EXTERNAL COMPENSATION CONSULTANT

To ensure that the compensation offered to the Named Executive Officers and other senior executive officers is appropriate, the HRCG may retain, from time to time, the services of an executive compensation consulting firm to provide advice on executive compensation, as provided in its mandate, and thereby approve their compensation. The HRCG, in collaboration with management, determine and approve all mandates that are given to its independent compensation consultant.

No fees were paid to an independent external compensation consultant during the last two financial years.

In particular, the market data may be adjusted to reflect sales and the scope of each position compared to similar positions in the comparison groups.

COMPENSATION-RELATED RISK MANAGEMENT PRACTICES

The Corporation must take certain risks to remain competitive and encourage members of senior management to achieve growth objectives expected by shareholders. However, the HRCG ensures that policies and compensation plans in place do not encourage members of senior management to take excessive risks. It is therefore important that the objectives of members of senior management do not encourage them to make decisions that are profitable in the short term but that could undermine the Corporation's long-term viability. For this purpose, the following measures have been implemented:

  1. Cap on Payments Related to Short-Term Incentive Plan

Payments of short-term incentive bonuses are capped, depending on the objectives and the role of the person holding the position, at 1.0 times and 1.6 times the target.

  1. Long-Term Incentive Based on Share Price

The options vest over a five-year period as follows: 1/3 after three years, 2/3 after four years, and 100% after five years of the date of the grant. Options expire after ten years after the date of grant. This long-term horizon discourages individuals from taking excessive risks that could cause participants to lose the shareholding value accumulated since the award.

  1. Clawback Policy

The Board implemented a compensation clawback policy for certain members of senior management. Under this policy, which applies to the President and Chief Executive Officer and to the Chief Financial Officer or to any person performing similar functions, the Board must, to the full extent permitted by governing laws and to the extent it determines that it is in the Corporation's best interest to do so, require reimbursement of all or a portion of any bonus or incentive compensation received by a member of management covered by the policy or to proceed with the cancellation of any unvested grants made to a member of management covered by the policy if:

i) the amount of the bonus or incentive compensation was calculated based upon, or contingent on, the achievement of certain financial results that were subsequently the subject of or affected by a restatement of all or a portion of the Corporation's financial statements;

ii) the member of management covered by the policy engaged in gross negligence, intentional misconduct or fraud that caused or partially caused the need for the restatement; and

iii) the bonus or incentive compensation which would have been paid to the member of management covered by the policy, or the profit he would have made, had the financial results been properly reported, would have been lower than the bonus or incentive compensation received.

In these circumstances, the Board has the discretion to recover from the member of management covered by the policy all or a portion of any incentive compensation paid up to three years preceding the date the Corporation had to proceed with a restatement of its financial statements.

TVA
Management Proxy Circular 2026


4. Trading and Hedging Restrictions

The Policy relating to the use of privileged information and insider trading transactions prohibits the Corporation's directors, executives and employees from purchasing securities, subject to obtaining prior approval from the HRCG including futures, equity swaps, exchange fund shares or options, which are designed to cover or compensate a decrease in the market value of equity securities (or equivalents, such as DSUs, for which the value results from that of the equity securities) that were granted to them as compensation.

5. Policy on Minimum Executive Officers Shareholding

Executive officers shareholding encourages cautious management of the shareholders' equity. Pursuant to the Policy on Minimum Executive Officers Shareholding approved by the Board, all Named Executive Officers must, within a period of five years from the time the Named Executive Officer is appointed to one of the positions listed in the table below, meet the requirements of the policy, equalling to a predetermined multiple of base salary. A Named Executive Officer's total shareholding is calculated as being the sum, as of December 31st of each year, of the following securities and security equivalents held by the executive officer multiplied by the closing price of the security referred to on the same date:

  • Class A Shares of TVA;
  • Class B Non-Voting Shares of TVA;
  • Vested and non-vested DSUs linked to Class B Non-Voting Shares of TVA;
  • Class A Shares of Quebecor;
  • Class B Shares of Quebecor;
  • Vested and non-vested DSUs linked to Class B Shares of Quebecor;
  • Stock options of TVA and Quebecor (in the latter case, the value is established according to the greater of the closing price of the underlying securities on the Toronto Stock Exchange on December 31st of each year or the option exercise price on the date of grant).

It should be noted that the HRCG reserves the right to extend the required period for reaching the minimum shareholding threshold in the event of extraordinary circumstances.

The following table indicates the minimum holding threshold, as a multiple of base salary, applicable to each position level.

Position Level Minimum Shareholding Requirement
President and Chief Executive Officer* 10 times base salary
Vice-President, Finance*
Chief Operating Officer* 7 times base salary

*or any similar function

As of December 31, 2025, the applicable multiples and the shareholding of the Named Executive Officers were as follows:

Pierre Karl Péladeau Marjorie Daoust
Multiple of Salary 10 x 7 x
Multiple of Salary ($) 4,125,000 1,687,140
Total Shareholdings ($)¹ 3,979,239,909 4,734,000
Status/Time limit to meet target Reached Reached
  1. On December 31, 2025, the closing price of the Class A and Class B Shares of Quebecor on the Toronto Stock Exchange was $51.94 and $51.70 per share respectively and the closing price of the Class B non-voting shares of TVA was $0.53 per share. The Named Executive Officers do not own Class A shares of TVA.

Management Proxy Circular 2026


COST OF THE MANAGEMENT SERVICES

Certain management services agreements relate to services rendered by Named Executive Officers. These agreements were subject to a review by the HRCG and, because they are transactions between related parties, to a review by the Corporation's Audit and Risk Management Committee. These two committees made a recommendation to the Board and these management services agreements were approved by the directors who determined that the percentage of compensation paid by TVA reflected reality and that this agreement was reasonable or no less advantageous for the two parties than what could have been negotiated and concluded at current market conditions. The percentage of time that these Named Executive Officers spend for the benefit of TVA is approved by the HRCG and reviewed quarterly by the Corporation's Audit and Risk Management Committee. If necessary, it may be updated regularly to reflect the actual time that they devote to the Corporation. The portion of their compensation covered by TVA will be adjusted accordingly, as necessary.

1. Interim President and Chief Executive Officer

Pierre Karl Péladeau, Interim President and Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation, also combines the role of President and Chief Executive Officer of QMI. Because Pierre Karl Péladeau shares his work time between his functions carried out for the benefit of TVA and those for QMI, it was agreed, by means of a management services agreement signed with QMI in 2022 and subsequently amended and revised in 2023, that TVA would be responsible for 25% of the compensation (annual base salary and value of fringe benefits, excluding pension plan) paid by QMI to Pierre Karl Péladeau. However, the value of TVA's stock options is assumed by the Corporation while the value of Quebecor stock options is assumed by QMI. Moreover, the bonus payable to Pierre Karl Péladeau under the short-term incentive plan of TVA based on his base salary associated with TVA will be entirely assumed by TVA.

2. Vice-President, Finance

Marjorie Daoust, Vice-President, Finance of the Corporation also holds the position of Vice-President, Finance of QMI. Since Marjorie Daoust shares her work time between her functions carried out for the benefit of TVA and those for QMI, it was agreed in 2025, by means of a management services agreement signed with QMI, that TVA would assume 70% of the compensation (annual base salary and value of fringe benefits, excluding pension plan) paid by QMI to Marjorie Daoust. However, the value of TVA's stock options is assumed by the Corporation while the value of Quebecor stock options is assumed by QMI. Moreover, the bonus payable to Marjorie Daoust under the short-term incentive plan of TVA based on her base salary associated with TVA is entirely assumed by TVA.

3. President of MELS, Chief Advertising Officer

Patrick Jutras, President of MELS, Chief Advertising Officer also holds the position of Chief Advertising Officer of QMI. Because Patrick Jutras shares his work time between his functions carried out for the benefit of TVA and those for QMI, it was agreed in 2023, by means of a management services agreement signed with QMI, that TVA would assume 65% of the compensation (annual base salary, value of stock options and value of fringe benefits, excluding pension plan) paid by QMI to Patrick Jutras. Moreover, the bonus payable to Patrick Jutras under the short-term incentive plan of TVA based on his base salary associated with TVA is entirely assumed by TVA.

NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS' DIRECT COMPENSATION

The compensation for the Named Executive Officers is determined and approved by the Corporation's HRCG, except for the Interim President and Chief Executive Officer and for the Vice-President, Finance of the Corporation, whose compensation is recommended and subsequently approved by the Board.

Details regarding different direct compensation components for the Named Executive Officers are included on the following pages of this Circular.

Base Salary

The annual base cash compensation is commensurate with skills, responsibilities, individual performance and the reference market.

TVA GROUP
Management Proxy Circular 2026


Increases in base salary awarded to members of senior management are based on performance, competitive market compensation data, their experience in their role, the importance of the position occupied, and their compensation compared with the Corporation's other senior managers. Adjustments to base salary generally take effect on January 1st of each year.

Short-Term Incentive

The goal of the short-term incentive program is to attract and develop the loyalty of members of senior management and encourage them to achieve or exceed the Corporation's short-term strategic and business objectives.

For the short-term incentive program, although the financial objectives based on adjusted EBITDA of the Corporation and its business units and the profit margin remain the key performance indicators, individual objectives are also set for each Named Executive Officer. The individual strategic objectives are fixed annually to ensure alignment with the Corporation's business objectives.

The short-term incentive plan targets are determined based on the base salary, the roles of the members of senior management and their impact on the Corporation. Short-term incentives are calculated using a formula that considers the following elements:

  • the short-term incentive target, expressed as a percentage of base salary, for each role;
  • adjusted EBITDA of the Corporation and/or business unit to which the Named Executive Officer is related, which represents the trigger for the payment of the short-term incentive;
  • the profit margin of the Corporation where applicable; and
  • individual strategic objectives.

For the purposes of the short-term incentive program for financial 2025, the targets as a percentage of base salary for each Named Executive Officer were between 25% and 55%. For additional information, please refer to the "Summary of 2025 Named Executive Officers Target Direct Compensation" section of this Circular.

Incentive amounts may be up to 1.6 times the short-term incentive target, for certain components, depending on the Corporation's performance, that of the business unit, and that of the individual. The payment of any short-term incentive is conditional on reaching the target adjusted EBITDA.

The following table lists the weighting of each of the performance objectives and the multiplying factors applicable to them.

The strategic objectives of the Interim President and Chief Executive Officer related to the Corporation and that of the Vice-President, Finance are reviewed annually by the HRCG and submitted to the Board for approval. The HRCG reviews and approves the objectives of the members of senior management set by the Interim President and Chief Executive Officer. The level of achievement of both financial and strategic objectives allowing the payment of annual incentives is submitted to the HRCG for recommendation to the Board.

The Named Executive Officers' compensation is contingent on the achievement of performance objectives. The Corporation will not give further details on the performance objectives of the Named Executive Officers because it believes that the disclosure of this information would seriously prejudice its interests in the extremely competitive sector in which it operates considering that this is confidential and strategic information.

Indeed, the financial objectives set by the Corporation for the purposes of the short-term incentive program, being the adjusted EBITDA of the Corporation and/or its business units and, the profit margin of the Corporation, when applicable, as well as the strategic objectives of the Named Executive Officers, take into account various sensitive strategic components of the Corporation, its subsidiaries and business units. The Corporation is of the opinion that disclosing this information would seriously prejudice its interests. The performance objectives set and approved by the HRCG, or by the Board, both for financial and strategic, are aimed and directed to meet the philosophy encouraging incentives to be tied to performance.

The target portion of total compensation of each of the Named Executive Officers tied to the short-term incentive program for which objectives are not disclosed is 19% for Pierre Karl Péladeau, 30% for Marjorie Daoust, 16% for Patrick Jutras, 11% for Louis-Philippe Neveu, and 9% for Nathalie Fabien.

Long-Term Incentive

Long-term incentive compensation, which since 2018 has been exclusively in the form of grants of stock options, allows the Corporation to reach several objectives over a longer period of time. The primary objective is to provide an incentive for participants to take the proper actions, sometimes difficult over the short term, so that the Corporation can carry out its business plan and build for the long term. The second objective of this compensation component is to align the interests of senior executives with those of shareholders. The third objective is to act as a retention factor. No target as a percentage of base salary has been set for the long-term incentive portion.

The HRCG approves, and for the Interim President and Chief Executive Officer and the Vice-President, Finance, recommends to the Board or to the Board of Directors of Quebecor, as the case may be, awards stock options of the Corporation or of Quebecor based on the individual's level of responsibility and impact on the Corporation. The key characteristics of the Corporation's Stock Option Plan are outlined in the "Equity Compensation Plans" section of this Circular.

2025 Short-Term

For financial 2025, the HRCG and the Board, if applicable, approved any bonus payments as annual incentives to Louis-Philippe Neveu, Patrick Jutras and Nathalie Fabien under the short-term portion of the incentive plan, given that the payment trigger (adjusted EBITDA target) was reached for them. No bonus payments were made to Pierre Karl Péladeau or Marjorie Daoust for their mandate at the Corporation, as the payment trigger was not reached with respect to them.

2025 Long-Term

For financial year 2025, the HRCG and the Board, if applicable, approve grants of stock options of the Corporation that take the Named Executive Officer's level of responsibility and contribution into account. They have also recommended to the Human Resources and Corporate Governance Committee and the Board of Directors of Quebecor, when deemed appropriate, the grants of stock options of Quebecor to the Named Executive Officers of the Corporation.

However, with regard to the long-term incentive portion, the HRCG and the Board retain full discretion on the awards granted to each Named Executive Officer.

For more details on the Named Executive Officers' total compensation, refer to the "Summary Compensation Table" of this Circular.

PERFORMANCE GRAPH

The performance graph set out below illustrates the cumulative total return, over a period of five years, of a $100 investment in the Class B Non-Voting Shares of the Corporation as compared to the S&P/TSX Composite.

The year-end value of each investment is based on share appreciation plus dividends paid in cash, the dividends having been reinvested on the date they were paid. The calculations exclude brokerage fees and taxes. Total shareholder returns from each investment may be calculated from the year-end investment values shown below the graph.

The graph also includes an index reflecting the trend in total compensation of the Named Executive Officers over the past five years. The remuneration index is composed of the base salary and the awards made according to existing incentive plans in effect for a given year. For the purpose of this index, the information presented in the "Total Compensation" column of the Summary Compensation Table has been annualized. We consider that this index allows us to compare the trend of the S&P/TSX Composite Index with that of executive compensation.

S&P/TSX Index $100 $125.09 $117.78 $131.62 $160.12 $210.84

It is impossible to obtain a precise correlation between the remuneration index and the five-year cumulative total return of a $100 investment in the Class B Non-Voting Shares of the Corporation, given that the base salary and short-term incentive payments are independent of the trading price of said shares.

In addition, the HRCG believes that the trading price is also affected by external factors on which the Corporation has little control, and which do not necessarily reflect the Corporation's performance, in particular low trading volume. The five-year cumulative total return for shareholders with Class B Non-Voting Shares from the Corporation was -75%, compared to 111% for the S&P/TSX Composite Index, as shown in the return graph above.

EQUITY COMPENSATION PLANS

Stock Option Plan of the Corporation

The Corporation has a stock option plan (the "Plan"), which entitles officers and employees of the Corporation and of its subsidiaries, to benefit from the appreciation in value of the Corporation's Class B Non-Voting Shares. The Plan provides for the grant of options for the purchase of a maximum of 2,200,000 Class B Non-Voting Shares, being 5.1% of the total issued and outstanding Class A and Class B Non-Voting Shares as at December 31, 2025. As of the date of the Circular, 1,559,550 Class B Non-Voting Shares, being 3.61% of the total Class A and Class B Non-Voting Shares are still reserved under the Plan with the Toronto Stock Exchange.

The HRCG administers the Plan, designates the optionees and determines the expiry date and any other question relating thereto, in each case in accordance with applicable securities legislation. The number of options granted is based on individual merit and depends on the level of responsibility of the optionee. However, the Plan contains restrictions regarding the number of options that may be granted and the number of Class B Non-Voting Shares that may be issued. No insider may be granted, within any one-year period, a number of Class B Non-Voting Shares exceeding 5% of the total number of Class B Non-Voting Shares and Class A Shares issued and outstanding from time to time (the "Corporation's Issued Share Capital"), less shares issued under equity compensation plans during the preceding year. Moreover, the number of Class B Non-Voting Shares which may be reserved for issuance under options granted to insiders under the Plan and any other equity compensation plans of the Corporation, cannot exceed 10% of the Corporation's Issued Share Capital. The Plan also provides that, in any given one-year period, the number of Class B Non-Voting Shares which may be issued to insiders under the Plan cannot exceed 10% of the Corporation's Issued Share Capital, less shares issued under equity compensation plans during the preceding year. All options granted are non-transferable. Previous grants are considered, and market comparables are analyzed. The HRCG ratifies the recommendations made by Management or makes the appropriate modifications (except for grants to the President and Chief Executive Officer and to the Vice-President, Finance that are approved by the Board).

The exercise price of each option may not be less than the closing price of a board lot of Class B Non-Voting Shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange on the last trading day before the date of grant. In the absence of a closing price for a board lot of

TVA
Management Proxy Circular 2026


Class B Non-Voting Shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange on that day, the exercise price may not be less than the average ask and bid prices of the Class B Non-Voting Shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange on the same day. At the time of exercising their options, optionees may decide to (i) subscribe for the Class B Non-Voting Shares in respect of which the option is being exercised; or (ii) receive from the Corporation a cash payment equal to the number of shares corresponding to the options exercised, multiplied by the difference between the market value and the exercise price of the shares underlying the option. The market value is defined by the average closing market price of the shares for the five trading days immediately preceding the date on which the option was exercised. If an optionee decides to receive a cash payment from the Corporation upon the exercise of his option, then the number of underlying Class B Non-Voting Shares covered by the option will once again become available under the Plan.

By signing the notice of grant they have received, optionees have committed to obtaining the Corporation's consent before exercising their right to purchase the shares for which they wish to exercise their options. This consent is not required for options granted prior to 2018.

Except under specific circumstances and unless the HRCG has decided otherwise at the time of grant, options vest over a five-year period in accordance with one of the following vesting schedules:

i) equally over five years with the first 20% vesting on the first anniversary of the date of the grant (one-year horizon);
ii) equally over four years with the first 25% vesting on the second anniversary of the date of the grant (3-year horizon – the optionee receives in advance three times the value of its annual grant and will not be granted any other the following two years); or
iii) equally over three years with the first 33⅓% vesting on the third anniversary of the date of the grant (5-year horizon – the optionee receives five times the value of its annual grant and will not be granted any other the following four years).

Since 2018, the HRCG has determined that the options would vest equally over three years with the first 33⅓% vesting on the third anniversary of the date of the grant.

The right to exercise options expires on the earlier of:

  • The expiry date of the option, as determined at the time of the grant (maximum of 10 years);
  • On the day of termination of the optionee's employment for cause;
  • 30 days following the date on which the optionee's employment is terminated by reason of voluntary termination of employment by resignation or termination without cause, or disability;
  • 30 days following retirement. Subject to certain conditions related to years of service, the optionee's age at retirement and their professional activities during retirement, a retiring optionee is permitted to retain the rights under their options as they existed prior to retirement; and
  • 90 days following the death of the optionee.

The Board may, without being required to obtain the prior approval of shareholders and regulatory authorities, amend the terms and conditions of the Plan including, but not limited to, an amendment to the vesting terms of an option, an amendment to the subscription price, unless the amendment is a reduction of the exercise price of an option held by an insider and an amendment intended to correct or rectify an ambiguity, inapplicable provision, error or omission in the Plan or an option except for: (i) an increase in the number of Class B Non-Voting Shares reserved for issuance under the Plan; and (ii) a reduction of the subscription price or the extension of the term of an option held by an insider. The Board can also decide to accelerate the exercise of options as part of a proposed transaction (including a takeover bid) subject to the controlling shareholder (as defined in the Plan) ceasing to be the controlling shareholder upon completion of the transaction. The Corporation does not provide financial assistance to optionees for the exercise of their options.

Finally, the Plan provides that if an expiry date falls during a blackout period or within 10 days following a blackout period, the period during which an option may be exercised shall be extended by 10 business days from the expiry of the blackout period (for those optionees subject to the Corporation's Policy Relating to the Use of Privileged Information and Related Party Transactions).

During the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, 205,000 options have been granted and no shares have been issued upon the exercise of stock options. As of the date hereof, 640,450 options were outstanding, being 1.48% of the Corporation's issued share capital.

Quebecor Stock Option Plan

Quebecor has a stock option plan for the officers, senior employees and key employees of Quebecor and of its subsidiaries (the “QI Plan”) which entitles them to benefit from the appreciation in value of the Class B shares of Quebecor. The QI Plan provides for the grant of options for the purchase of a maximum of 26,000,000 Class B Shares of QI.

The Board of Directors of Quebecor, upon the recommendation of its Human Resources and Corporate Governance Committee administers the QI Plan, designates the recipients of options and determines the date of vesting of each option, the exercise price of each option, the expiry date and any other question relating thereto, in each case in accordance with applicable securities legislation. The number of options so granted is based on individual merit, on the positioning to the market, and on the optionee’s level of responsibility. The Board of Directors of Quebecor ratifies the recommendations made by its Human Resources and Corporate Governance Committee or makes modifications it deems appropriate. Previous grants are considered, and market conditions are analyzed.

The exercise price is equal to the weighted average trading price of the Class B shares of Quebecor on the Toronto Stock Exchange during the period of five trading days preceding the date of grant.

At the time of exercise of his option, an optionee may either (i) elect to subscribe for the number of Class B shares of Quebecor in respect of which the option is exercised or (ii) elect to receive from Quebecor a cash payment equal to the number of shares in respect of which the option is exercised multiplied by the amount by which the market value exceeds the exercise price of the shares underlying such option.

The market value is defined as the weighted average trading price of the Class B shares of Quebecor on the Toronto Stock Exchange on the five trading days immediately preceding the day of exercise of such option. If an optionee decides to receive a cash payment from Quebecor upon the exercise of his option, then the number of underlying Class B shares of Quebecor covered by the option will once again become available under the QI Plan.

By signing the notice of grant they have received, optionees have committed to obtaining Quebecor’s consent before exercising their right to purchase the shares for which they wish to exercise their options.

Under the Quebecor Plan, options usually vest as follows: ½ after one year, ⅔ after two years, and 100% three years after the date of grant. The Board of Directors of Quebecor, may, at its discretion, affix different vesting periods at the time of each grant. Thus, since 2018, it has been determined that the options would vest equally over three years with the first 33 ½% vesting on the third anniversary of the date of the grant. Each option may be exercised during a period not exceeding 10 years from the date of grant.

No optionee may hold options covering more than 5% of the outstanding shares of Quebecor. All options granted are non-transferable.

The right to exercise options that have been granted expires on the earlier of the following events:

  • Immediately in the case of termination for a serious cause;
  • 30 days from the termination of the optionee’s employment for reasons other than death or retirement;
  • 60 days following retirement. Subject to certain conditions related to years of service, the optionee’s age at retirement and their professional activities during retirement, a retiring optionee is permitted to retain the rights under their options as they existed prior to retirement;
  • 180 days following the death of the optionee; and
  • 10 years from the date of grant.
