Competitive Environment
For many companies, digital systems and infrastructures are among their most important and strategic assets. These assets require significant investments and increasingly serve as key differentiators and drivers of growth for customers.
Accordingly, businesses are seeking solutions that allow them to maintain their ability to differentiate themselves from competitors with proprietary business processes, combined with product customization. That is where digital transformation comes into play, inviting companies to make a shift in their approach and to evolve from traditional information technologies to flexible digital technologies.

In addition, Alithya competes with numerous smaller local companies in the various geographic markets in which it operates.

Strategic Business Plan
Alithya embarked on a journey to be recognized as the trusted technology advisor of its clients.

Alithya’s Microsoft intellectual property caters to distinct requirements across various sectors, such as the manufacturing sector (including the dairy and poultry industries). Similarly, Alithya’s Oracle accelerators encompass intellectual property, methodologies and add-ons tailored to address specific needs within sectors like manufacturing or professional services, supporting various facets of operations.

RISK AND UNCERTAINTIES

Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to the Company or that the Company currently deems to be immaterial could also have a material adverse effect on its financial position, financial performance, cash flows, business or reputation. Please refer to the section titled “Forward-Looking Statements” of this Annual Information Form for a discussion of the risks associated with forward‐looking statements.
CAPITAL STRUCTURE
Description of Securities
The authorized share capital of the Company consists of (i) an unlimited number of subordinate voting shares, without par value, which are listed under the symbol ALYA on the TSX, (ii) an unlimited number of multiple voting shares, without par value, which are held by a limited number of holders, except that no further multiple voting shares can be issued, except pursuant to the exercise of options to purchase multiple voting shares that were issued and outstanding as at November 1, 2018, and (iii) an unlimited number of preferred shares, without par value, issuable in series. As at March 31, 2024, 88,141,000 subordinate voting shares and 7,274,248 multiple voting shares were issued and outstanding.
The following summary of the material features of the Company’s authorized share capital is given subject to the detailed provisions of its articles.
Voting Rights
Each subordinate voting share entitles its holder to one vote per share, and each multiple voting share entitles its holder to ten votes per share at any meeting of shareholders, other than meetings at which only the holders of a particular class or series of shares are entitled to vote due to statutory provisions or the specific attributes of this class or series. If and when issued, preferred shares will have such voting rights as may be determined by the Board at the time of issuance thereof.
The subordinate voting shares are “restricted securities” within the meaning of such term under applicable Canadian securities laws in that they do not carry equal voting rights with the multiple voting shares. In the aggregate, all of the voting rights associated with the subordinate voting shares represented, as at March 31, 2024, 54.79% of the voting rights attached to all of the issued and outstanding shares.
ALITHYA - Annual Information Form 9

Rights to Dividends and Rights upon Winding-up and Dissolution
Subject to the prior rights of holders of preferred shares which rank prior to subordinate voting shares and multiple voting shares, if and when issued, holders of subordinate voting shares and multiple voting shares are entitled to receive pari passu any dividends and the remainder of the Company’s property in the event of a voluntary or involuntary winding up or dissolution, or any other distribution of assets among shareholders for the purposes of winding up the Company’s affairs.
Conversion Rights
Multiple voting shares are, at the holder’s entire discretion, convertible into subordinate voting shares on a share for share basis and shall be automatically converted upon their transfer to a person who is not a Permitted Holder (as defined below) or upon the death of a Permitted Holder, unless acquired by any of the remaining Permitted Holders in accordance with the terms of the voting agreement dated November 1, 2018 entered into between the Permitted Holders (the “Voting Agreement”), a copy of which is available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.com and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov. The multiple voting shares are not convertible into any other class of shares. Under applicable Canadian laws, an offer to purchase multiple voting shares would not necessarily require that an offer be made to purchase subordinate voting shares. However, as indicated above, multiple voting shares shall be automatically converted into subordinate voting shares on a share for share basis upon their transfer to a person who is not a Permitted Holder.
If and when issued, preferred shares will have such conversion rights as may be determined by the Board at the time of issuance thereof.
For purposes of the above and below paragraphs, a “Permitted Holder” means each of Paul Raymond, Ghyslain Rivard, and Pierre Turcotte, and the entities over which they have control.
Restrictions on Transfer
Subject to the terms of the Voting Agreement, Permitted Holders cannot sell or otherwise transfer multiple voting shares to a person who is not a Permitted Holder, unless they first convert those shares into subordinate voting shares on a share for share basis, and then transfer such subordinate voting shares.
DIVIDENDS
The Company does not currently expect to pay dividends on the subordinate voting shares or the multiple voting shares in the foreseeable future. The Company anticipates that it will retain all earnings, if any, to support its operations. Any future determination as to the payment of dividends will, subject to Canadian legal requirements and the Company’s articles, be at the sole discretion of the Board and will depend on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and other factors the Board deems relevant. Currently, the provisions of the Company’s Credit Facility place certain limitations on the amount of cash dividends that the Company could pay.

ALITHYA - Annual Information Form 13

Pre‐approval Policy and Procedures
The Audit Committee has adopted a policy and procedures for the pre-approval of engagement for services of its external auditor, which list prohibited services that the external auditor may not provide and require pre-approval of all audit and non-audit services provided by the external auditor.
For all permitted services, a request for pre-approval must be submitted to the Audit Committee through the Chief Financial Officer prior to engaging the external auditor to perform the services. The Audit Committee considers such requests, if applicable, on a quarterly basis, and, if acceptable, pre-approves such audit and non-audit services. During its deliberations, the Audit Committee assesses, among other factors, whether the services requested are prohibited and whether they, and the fees related thereto, could impair the independence of the Company's external auditor.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the interest of efficiency:
•The Audit Committee has delegated to the Chair of the Audit Committee the authority to effect such pre-approval from time to time. The Chair must, however, present all pre-approvals of non-audit services to the Audit Committee at the first meeting of the Audit Committee subsequent to such pre-approval.
•Certain permitted services are pre-approved with an envelope by the Audit Committee and thereafter only require approval by the Chief Financial Officer prior to the engagement. For services not covered by the pre-approved envelopes and costs in excess of the pre-approved amounts, separate requests for pre-approval must be submitted to the Audit Committee.
•At each meeting of the Audit Committee, a consolidated summary of all fees by service type is presented including a breakdown of fees incurred within each of the pre-approved envelopes.
Since the implementation of the Audit Committee pre-approval procedures in 2019, all audit and non-audit services rendered by the external auditor have been pre-approved in accordance therewith.
The Audit Committee also approves, on an annual basis, the fees charged to the Company by the external auditor for the current and following year.
