Voting During the Virtual Meeting

You cannot vote if you dial in by telephone only or if you have joined the online platform as a “Guest”. You must join the meeting online as a “Shareholder” and be connected to the internet at all times to vote during the virtual meeting.

If you wish to vote during the virtual meeting, there are specific steps you must take in advance to complete an online ballot:

If you are a registered shareholder and you wish to attend and vote online at the virtual meeting, you must follow the steps set out on page 5 of the Proxy Circular. If you want to appoint someone as your proxyholder to vote for you at the meeting, there are additional steps you must take, including appointing and registering your proxyholder as proxy with Computershare.

If you are a non-registered shareholder and you wish to attend and vote online at the virtual meeting, there are additional steps you must take including appointing and registering yourself as proxy with Computershare. For more information, please see “How to Vote” starting on page 6 of the Proxy Circular.

If you are a non-registered shareholder located in the United States, you need to obtain a legal proxy form from your intermediary and return that form to Computershare. Instructions are on the Voter Instruction Form that was mailed to you. You can also contact your intermediary for instructions. Your intermediary needs to receive your voting instructions in enough time to provide you with a legal proxy form, which must then be sent to Computershare. Computershare must receive your voting instructions from your intermediary by no later than 5:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on April 5, 2021.

If you have completed the necessary steps to vote during the virtual meeting, then you can vote through the virtual voting platform online.
