Annual General and Special Meeting of Shareholders
to be Held on June 3, 2022

(the “Company”) is using notice and access for the delivery of meeting materials to its shareholders in respect of its Annual General and Special Meeting of Shareholders to be held on Friday, June 3, 2022 (the “Meeting”). Under notice and access, instead of receiving paper copies of the Company’s Notice of Annual General and Special Meeting of Shareholders and management information circular for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the “Information Circular”) (the “Meeting Materials”), shareholders are receiving this notice with information on how they may access such Meeting Materials electronically.
