The online Meeting can be accessed at https://virtual-meetings.tsxtrust.com/1596.

Non-registered shareholders who wish to vote at the Meeting through the online virtual platform must insert their own name in the space provided on the VIF received from the nominee. In so doing, such non-registered shareholder will be instructing its nominee to appoint such non-registered shareholder as proxyholder. Non-registered shareholders must adhere strictly to the signature and return instructions provided by their nominee. It is not necessary to complete the form in any other respect, since such non-registered shareholder will be voting at the Meeting by voting online through the online virtual Meeting platform.
