Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials

 

We have adopted the “notice and access” rule as such provisions are set out under National Instrument 51-102 – Continuous Disclosure Obligations and National Instrument 54-101 – Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer (the “Notice-and-Access Provisions”) for the delivery of meeting materials relating to this Meeting. Notice-and-Access Provisions are a set of rules developed by the Canadian Securities Administrators that allow a company to reduce the volume of materials to be physically mailed to shareholders by posting the Circular and any additional annual meeting materials (the “Proxy Materials”) online at the Company’s website at https://investor.kidoz.net. The Notice will be mailed on or about October 11, 2024. Under the Notice-and-Access Provisions, instead of receiving paper copies of the Circular, Shareholders will receive this Notice and a proxy. In the case of beneficial (non-registered) Shareholders, they will receive this Notice and a VIF. The proxy/VIF enables Shareholders to vote. Before voting, Shareholders are reminded to review the Circular online at the Company’s website at https://investor.kidoz.net and following the instructions set out below. Shareholders may also choose to receive a printed copy of the Circular by following the procedures set out below.
