BUSINESS OF MEETING

Consolidated Financial Statements

The audited consolidated financial statements of the Corporation for the financial year ended December 31, 2015, together with the auditors’ report thereon and the notes thereto, accompany this Circular and will be submitted to the Meeting. Receipt of the audited consolidated financial statements will not constitute approval or disapproval of any matters referred to therein.

Election of Directors

The articles of the Corporation require that the Corporation have a minimum of three directors and a maximum of ten directors. The articles of the Corporation provide that the actual number of directors within the specified minimum and maximum may be determined from time to time by resolution of the directors. The board of directors of the Corporation (“Board”) has by resolution fixed the number of directors of the Corporation to be elected at the Meeting at five. The term of office of each of the current directors will expire at the close of the Meeting. The term of office of each of the directors elected at the Meeting will expire at the close of the annual meeting of shareholders following the Meeting.

Management of the Corporation proposes to nominate the individuals named below for election as directors of the Corporation. The Corporation has not received notice, and management of the Corporation is not aware, of any other nominees for election as directors of the Corporation. Shareholders may vote for all of the nominees named below, vote for one or more of them and withhold their vote for others of them, or withhold their vote for all of them.

Under the Corporation’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, any nominee for election as a director of the Corporation in an uncontested election who receives, from common shares voted in person or by proxy at the Meeting, a greater number of shares withheld than shares voted in his favour for election as a director must promptly tender his resignation to the Chairman of the Board, such resignation to take effect on acceptance by the Board. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board will expeditiously consider the director’s offer to resign and make a recommendation to the Board on whether to accept it. In considering the director’s offer to resign and making its recommendation, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will evaluate the best interests of the Corporation and its shareholders and will consider a number of factors, including alternatives to cure the underlying cause of the votes withheld, the experience/expertise of the director, the overall composition of the Board and whether accepting the resignation would cause the Corporation to fail to satisfy any listing or regulatory requirement. The Board will have 90 days after the date of the Meeting to make a final decision and announce it by way of press release. A director who tenders his resignation may not participate in the deliberations of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee or the Board on whether to accept his resignation offer.
