Appointment of Proxyholder
The persons named in the enclosed form of proxy are directors or officers of the Company designated by management of the Company. A
registered Shareholder has the right to appoint as proxyholder a person or company (who need not be a Shareholder) other than the persons already named by management of the Company in the enclosed form of proxy to attend and act on such registered
Shareholder s behalf at the Meeting. Such right may be exercised by crossing out the names of management s nominees and inserting the name of the person or company in the blank space provided in the enclosed form of proxy or by
completing another form of proxy.
Voting by Proxyholder
The form of proxy confers discretionary authority upon the persons named therein with respect to amendments or variations to matters
identified in the accompanying Notice of Meeting and with respect to other matters which may properly come before the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. As of the date of this Circular, management of the Company is not aware of any
such amendment, variation or other matter to come before the Meeting. However, if any amendments or variations to matters identified in the accompanying Notice of Meeting or any other matters which are not now known to management should properly
come before the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, the Shares represented by properly executed proxies given in favour of the persons designated by management of the Company in the form of proxy will be voted on such matters
pursuant to the discretionary authority provided for in the form of proxy. If no specification is made to withhold the said Shares from voting, a proxyholder will vote the Shares FOR (A) the election of the persons to be

Registered Shareholders
If you are a registered Shareholder as of the record date of May 13, 2019, a form of proxy is enclosed with this Circular and you may, and
whether or not it is your intention to be present in person at the Meeting you are encouraged to, appoint a proxy by:
in all cases ensuring that the proxy is received not later than 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on June 17,
2019, or, if the Meeting is adjourned or postponed, the last business day preceding the day of the adjournment or postponement. The time limit for the deposit of proxies may also be waived or extended by the Chair of the Meeting at his or her
discretion, without notice.
Non-Registered Shareholders
A Shareholder is a non-registered (or beneficial) Shareholder (a Non-Registered Holder ) if the Shareholder s Shares are registered either in the name of (in each case, an Intermediary ):
In accordance with the requirements of National Instrument
54-101 Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer ( NI 54-101 ), the Company has distributed copies of the Notice
of Meeting, this Circular and a form of proxy or voting instruction form (collectively, the Meeting Materials ) to the Intermediaries for onward distribution to Non-Registered Holders.
Intermediaries are required to forward Meeting Materials to Non-Registered Holders unless a Non-Registered Holder has waived the right to receive them. Typically, Intermediaries will use a service company (such as Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. ( Broadridge )) to forward the Meeting
Materials to Non-Registered Holders. The Company is a Participating Issuer under Broadridge s Electronic Delivery Procedures. Non-Registered Holders who
have enrolled in Broadridge s Electronic Delivery Procedures (at www.investordelivery.com) will have received from Broadridge an
email notification that the Meeting Materials are available electronically, which notification includes a hyperlink to the page on the Internet where the Meeting Materials can be viewed. Generally,
Non-Registered Holders who have not waived the right to receive the Meeting Materials will be given a voting instruction form which must be completed and signed by the
Non-Registered Holder in accordance with the directions on the voting instruction form; voting instruction forms sent by Broadridge permit the completion of the voting instruction form by telephone or through
the Internet at www.proxyvote.com.
The Company will pay for an intermediary to deliver proxy materials to objecting beneficial owners of Shares ( OBOs ). The
Meeting Materials sent to non-objecting beneficial owners of Shares ( NOBOs ) and OBOs who have not waived the right to receive the Meeting Materials will be accompanied by a voting
instruction form. By returning the voting instruction form in accordance with the instructions noted thereon, a NOBO is able to instruct the voting of the Shares owned by it. Voting instruction forms, whether provided by the Company or by an
Intermediary, should be completed and returned in accordance with the specific instructions noted thereon. The purpose of this procedure is to permit Non-Registered Holders to direct the voting of the Shares
which they beneficially own.
Should a Non-Registered Holder who receives a voting
instruction form wish to attend and vote at the Meeting in person (or have another person attend and vote on behalf of the Non-Registered Holder), the Non-Registered
Holder should follow the corresponding instructions on the voting instruction form. Non-Registered Holders should carefully follow the instructions of their Intermediaries and their service companies.
addition to revocation in any manner permitted by law, a registered Shareholder as of the record date of May 13, 2019 who has returned a form of proxy may revoke it by:
A Non-Registered Holder who wishes to revoke his or her voting instructions must contact his or her
Intermediary in respect of such instructions and comply with any applicable requirements imposed by such Intermediary. An Intermediary may not be able to revoke such instructions if it receives insufficient notice of revocation.
