The Concerned Shareholders believe that the Company has:

GENERAL PROXY INFORMATION

 

Who is Seeking my Vote?

 

The Concerned Shareholders are soliciting proxies from Shareholders for the Meeting. The costs incurred in the preparation and mailing of the form of proxy, notice and this Circular will be borne by the Concerned Shareholders, which shall be reimbursed by the Company pursuant to section 137(6) of the MCA. In addition to solicitation by mail, proxies may be solicited by personal interviews, telephone or other means of communication and by the Concerned Shareholders, and their agents, who will not be specifically remunerated therefor. The Concerned Shareholders may engage the services of one or more agents and authorize other persons to assist it in soliciting proxies on behalf of the Concerned Shareholders.

 

This solicitation is not made by or on behalf of management of the Company.

 

Who can Vote?

 

Shareholders at the close of business on July 15, 2022 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to receive notice of, and to vote at, the Meeting. To the extent a Shareholder transfers the ownership of any of their Shares after the Record Date and the transferee of those Shares establishes that they own such Shares and requests, at least ten days before the Meeting, to be included in the list of Shareholders eligible to vote at the Meeting, such transferee will be entitled to vote those Shares at the Meeting.

 

How to Vote

 

The procedures for voting are different for a Registered Shareholder and a Beneficial Shareholder.

 

Registered Shareholders

 

A Registered Shareholder may vote by proxy or they may appoint another person, who does not have to be a Shareholder, as their proxy to vote in their place. The persons named in the enclosed form of proxy are nominees of the Concerned Shareholders.

 

Appointment of Proxies

 

The persons named in the accompanying form of proxy (the “proxy”) are representatives of the Concerned Shareholders. A Shareholder has the right to appoint a person (who need not be Shareholder) to attend and act for him/her on his/her behalf at the meeting other than the persons named in the enclosed proxy. To exercise this right, a Shareholder may strike out the names of the persons named in the proxy and insert the name of his/her nominee in the blank space provided, or complete another proxy. A proxy will not be valid unless it is received by Endeavor Trust Corporation by fax at 1-604-559-8908, by email to proxy@endeavortrust.com, or by mail to Suite 702 - 777 Hornby Street, Vancouver, BC, V6Z 1S4, not less than 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) before the time of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof. Alternatively, proxies may be voted online by following the instructions contained in the proxy.

 

The proxy must be signed by the Shareholder or by his/her attorney in writing, or, if the Shareholder is a corporation, it must either be under its common seal or signed by a duly authorized officer.


17


 

All Shares represented at the Meeting by properly completed forms of proxy will be voted or withheld from voting in accordance with the specifications of the Registered Shareholder contained in the proxy. In the absence of such specification, such Shares will be voted in favour of the matters set forth in this Circular. All Shares represented at the Meeting will be voted or withheld from voting in accordance with the instructions of the Shareholder on any ballot that may be called. The form of proxy confers discretionary authority upon the persons named therein with respect to amendments or variations to matters identified in the notice and with respect to other matters which may properly come before the Meeting or any adjournment(s) thereof.

 

Corporate Shareholders

 

Any Shareholder that is a corporation may, by resolution of its directors or other governing body, authorize such person as it thinks fit to exercise, in respect of and at the Meeting, the same powers on behalf of the corporation as that corporation could exercise if it were an individual Shareholder personally present, including the right (unless restricted by such resolution) to appoint a proxyholder to represent such corporation. Evidence in writing of the appointment of any such representative should accompany a corporate Shareholder’s completed proxy.

 

Beneficial Shareholders

 

Information for Beneficial Shareholders

 

Only those persons whose names appear on the register of the Company as an owner of Shares (collectively, the “Registered Holders”) or duly appointed proxyholders are permitted to vote at the Meeting. Shareholders may be “non-registered” Shareholders because the Shares they own are not registered in their names but are instead registered in the name of an intermediary through which they hold the Shares. More particularly, if a person is not a Registered Holder in respect of Shares which are held on behalf of that person (the “Beneficial Shareholder”) but which are registered either: (i) in the name of an intermediary that the Beneficial Shareholder deals with in respect of the Shares (intermediaries include, among others, banks, trust companies, nominees, securities dealers or brokers, and trustees or administrators of self- administered registered retirement savings plans, registered retirement income funds, registered education savings plans or tax free savings accounts and similar plans or other intermediaries); or (ii) in the name of a clearing agency (such as CDS & Co., the registration name for CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc.) of which the intermediary is a participant. Shares so held by intermediaries can only be voted (for or against resolutions) upon the instructions of the Beneficial Shareholder. Without specific instructions, intermediaries are prohibited from voting Shares held for Beneficial Shareholders. Therefore, Beneficial Shareholders should ensure that instructions respecting the voting of their Shares are communicated to the appropriate person or that the Shares are duly registered in their name well in advance of the Meeting.

 

Applicable regulatory policy requires intermediaries to seek voting instructions from Beneficial Shareholders in advance of Shareholder meetings. Every intermediary has its own mailing procedures and provides its own return instructions, which should be carefully followed by Beneficial Shareholders in order to ensure that their Shares are voted at the Meeting. Often, the voting instruction form supplied to a Beneficial Shareholder by its intermediary is identical to the form of proxy provided to Registered Holders; however, its purpose is limited to instructing the registered Shareholder how to vote on behalf of the Beneficial Shareholder. Although a Beneficial Shareholder may not be recognized directly at the Meeting for the purposes of voting Shares registered in the name of its intermediary, it may attend at the Meeting as a proxyholder for the Registered Holder and vote its Shares in that capacity. Should a Beneficial Shareholder wish to vote at the Meeting, in person, it should enter its own name in the blank space on the form of proxy provided to the Beneficial Shareholder and return the document to its intermediary (or the agent of such intermediary) in accordance with the instructions provided by such intermediary or agent well in advance of the Meeting.


18


 

Certain Shares may be held by Beneficial Shareholders. Most intermediaries delegate responsibility for obtaining voting instructions from their clients to Broadridge Financial Solutions Inc. (“Broadridge”). Broadridge typically mails a scannable voting instruction form (the “Voting Instruction Form”) in lieu of the form of proxy provided by the Concerned Shareholder.

 

Beneficial Shareholders can vote by proxy in the following ways:

 

·complete and return the Voting Instruction Form to Broadridge; 

·call the toll-free telephone number (1-800-474-7493); or 

·access Broadridge’s dedicated voting website at www.proxyvote.com to deliver their voting instructions. 

 

Broadridge will tabulate the results of all instructions received and provide appropriate instructions respecting the voting of Shares to be represented at the Meeting. The Voting Instruction Form must be returned as directed by Broadridge well in advance of the Meeting in order to have the Shares voted. Beneficial Shareholders cannot use the Voting Instruction Form to vote Shares directly at the Meeting.

 

If the Beneficial Shareholder wishes to vote their Shares at the Meeting, it must do so as proxyholder for the Registered Shareholder. To do this, the Beneficial Shareholder should enter their name in the blank space on the Voting Instruction Form provided and return the same to their broker or other intermediary (or the agent of such broker or other intermediary) in accordance with the instructions provided by such broker, intermediary or agent well in advance of the Meeting.

 

There are two categories of Beneficial Shareholders for the purposes of applicable securities regulatory policy in relation to the mechanism of dissemination to Beneficial Shareholders of proxy-related materials and other securityholder materials and the request for voting instructions from such Beneficial Shareholders. Non- objecting beneficial owners (“NOBOs”) are Beneficial Shareholders who have advised their intermediary (such as brokers or other nominees) that they do not object to their intermediary disclosing ownership information to the Company, consisting of their name, address, e-mail address, securities holdings and preferred language of communication. Securities legislation restricts the use of that information to matters strictly relating to the affairs of the Company. Objecting beneficial owners (“OBOs”) are Beneficial Shareholders who have advised their intermediary that they object to their intermediary disclosing such ownership information to the Company.

 

In accordance with the requirements of NI 54-101 – Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer (“NI 54-101”), the Concerned Shareholders are sending the notice, this Circular and a voting instruction form or a proxy, as applicable (collectively, the “Meeting Materials”), indirectly through intermediaries to NOBOs and OBOs. NI 54-101 permits the Concerned Shareholders to obtain a list of its NOBOs from intermediaries and use such NOBO list for the purpose of distributing the Meeting Materials directly to, and seeking voting instructions directly from, such NOBOs. As a result, the Concerned Shareholders are entitled to deliver Meeting Materials to Beneficial Shareholders in two manners: (a) directly to NOBOs and indirectly through intermediaries to OBOs; or (b) indirectly to all Beneficial Shareholders through intermediaries. In accordance with the requirements of NI 54-101, the Concerned Shareholders are sending the Meeting Materials indirectly through intermediaries to all Beneficial Shareholders. The Concerned Shareholders do not intend to pay for the fees and expenses of intermediaries for their services in delivering the Meeting Materials to the Beneficial Shareholders in accordance with NI 54-101; Beneficial Shareholders will not receive the materials unless their intermediary assumes the cost of delivery.

 

Revocation of Proxies.

 

A Shareholder who has given a proxy may revoke the proxy by:

 

(a)by completing and signing a valid proxy bearing a later date and returning it in accordance with the instructions contained in the form of proxy to be provided by the Concerned Shareholders,  


19


or as otherwise provided in the Concerned Shareholders’ Circular;

 

(b)by depositing an instrument in writing executed by you or by your attorney authorized in writing, as the case may be: (i) at the registered office of the Company, at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the day of the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement of the Meeting; or (ii) with the Chair of the Meeting prior to its commencement on the day of the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement of the Meeting; or 

 

(c)in any other manner permitted by law. 

 

Voting of Shares Represented by Proxy

 

The Concerned Shareholders’ representatives designated in the proxy to be deposited by you once such form of proxy is made available by the Concerned Shareholders, as provided in this Circular, will vote (or withhold from voting) your Shares represented by that proxy in accordance with your instructions on any ballot that may be called at the Meeting.

 

If you specify a choice with respect to voting in the form of proxy to be provided by the Concerned Shareholders, your Shares will be voted or withheld accordingly. If you do not specify a choice in such proxy or in an otherwise valid proxy, your Shares to which the proxy pertains will be voted FOR the election of the six Concerned Shareholders’ Nominees to the Board, and otherwise in the manner described this Circular.

 

The form of proxy to be provided by the Concerned Shareholders with this Circular will confer discretionary authority upon the persons named therein to vote in the judgment of those persons in respect of amendments or variations, if any, which may properly come before the Meeting. As of the date of this Circular, the Concerned Shareholders know of no other matters to come before the Meeting other than as set forth herein. Should any other matters properly come before the Meeting, Shares represented by the relevant proxies will be voted on those matters in accordance with the judgment of the Concerned Shareholders’ representatives designated in the form of proxy to be provided by the Concerned Shareholders.

 

Solicitation of Proxies

 

This solicitation is made by the Concerned Shareholders and is not made by or on behalf of management of the Company. Proxies for the Meeting may be solicited by mail, telephone, email or other electronic means as well as by newspaper or other media advertising, and in person by the Concerned Shareholders. In addition, the Concerned Shareholders may solicit proxies in reliance upon the public broadcast exemption to the solicitation requirements under applicable Canadian corporate and securities laws, conveyed by way of public broadcast, including through press releases, speeches or publications, and by any other manner permitted under applicable Canadian laws. The Concerned Shareholders may engage the services of one or more agents and authorize other persons to assist it in soliciting proxies on behalf of the Concerned Shareholders.

 

No person is authorized to give information or to make any representations other than those contained in this Circular and, if given or made, such information or representations must not be relied upon as having been authorized by the Concerned Shareholders to be given or made.

 

In addition to solicitation by mail, proxies may be solicited by personal interviews, telephone or other means of communication and by the Concerned Shareholders, and their agents, who will not be specifically remunerated therefor. The Concerned Shareholders may engage the services of one or more agents and authorize other persons to assist it in soliciting proxies on behalf of the Concerned Shareholders.
