 Annual Meeting Notice

 

Important Notice Regarding Availability Proxy Materials for the Shareholder Meeting to be Held on June 6, 2024

 

Dear Shareholder:

 

The Annual Meeting of common shareholders (the “Shareholders”) of Zomedica Corp. (“Zomedica” or the “Corporation”) will be held online via live audio webcast on Thursday, June 6, 2024 at 1:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (the “Meeting”).

 

The Corporation will use the notice-and-access model for delivery of Meeting materials to its Shareholders. Notice-and-access allows companies to post shareholder meeting materials online. Instead of a paper copy of Meeting materials, Shareholders receive this notice with information on how they may access or obtain copies of the Meeting materials.

 

The Corporation encourages beneficial shareholders to enroll for electronic delivery by clicking on “Delivery Settings” on www.proxyvote.com at the time of voting your securities and following the instructions. This allows for the shareholder to receive electronic copies of materials; eliminating the need for paper copies and reducing paper waste.

 

Meeting Date and Manner of Participation

 

The Meeting will be held on Thursday, June 6, 2024 at 1:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time. The Corporation is holding the Meeting as a completely virtual meeting, which will be conducted via live audio webcast.  Registered shareholders and duly appointed proxyholders will have the opportunity to attend the meeting online, submit questions, and vote in real time through a web-based platform. Non-registered or beneficial shareholders who have not appointed themselves as proxyholder will be able to attend the meeting as guests and ask questions, but will not be able to vote. Shareholders will not be able to attend the meeting in person. Zomedica encourages all shareholders to vote in advance of the Meeting by proxy. Please see the section entitled “How to Vote” in the management information circular (“Circular”) for detailed instructions on how to attend and participate at the Meeting. Guests will also be able to attend online and listen to the Meeting but will not be able to vote or ask questions during the Meeting.

 

In order to attend the Meeting virtually, shareholders are required to log in to www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ZOM2024 at least fifteen (15) minutes prior to the start of the Meeting. Shareholders will need the 16-digit control number contained on the form of proxy or voting instruction form accompanying this Notice, as applicable, and access to an internet connected device for the full duration of the Meeting. Alternatively, shareholders can take steps to submit their votes by proxy by following the instructions below and as further set out in the Circular.

 

In order to be valid for use at the Meeting, proxies must be received not less than 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) prior to the Meeting or any adjournment(s) or postponement(s) thereof.

 

If you are a non-registered shareholder and receive these materials through your broker or through another intermediary, please complete and return the materials in accordance with the instructions provided to you by your broker or such other intermediary. If you are a non-registered shareholder and do not complete and return the materials in accordance with such instructions, you may lose the right to vote at the Meeting.
