DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
A. Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by CAE Inc. (“CAE” or the “Company”) in reports filed with securities regulatory agencies is recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis and is accumulated and communicated to CAE’s management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.
Under the supervision of the President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, management evaluated the effectiveness of CAE’s disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of March 31, 2021, the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 40-F. The President and Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded from the evaluation that the design and operation of CAE’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as at March 31, 2021. Management’s evaluation of and conclusion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting did not include an evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting of TRU Simulation + Training Canada Inc. (TRU Canada), which was acquired on January 26, 2021. The contribution of the acquired

TRU Canada operations to the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2021 was less than 1% of consolidated revenue and consolidated net loss. Additionally, on March 31, 2021, the total assets of the acquired TRU Canada operations represented approximately 2% of the Company’s consolidated total assets.
B. Management’s annual report on internal control over financial reporting. CAE’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act.
CAE’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of CAE’s assets; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that CAE’s receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of its management and directors; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of CAE’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Management evaluated the effectiveness of CAE’s internal controls over financial reporting as of March 31, 2021, based on the framework and criteria set forth in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and has concluded that CAE’s internal control over financial reporting is effective as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 40-F.
C. Attestation report of the Independent Auditors. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, independent auditors who audited and reported on CAE’s financial statements included in this annual report, has issued an attestation report on the effectiveness of CAE’s internal control over financial reporting as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 40-F. This attestation report is included in Exhibit 99.2 to this Annual Report on Form 40-F.
D. Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There were no changes to CAE’s internal control over financial reporting during the year ended March 31, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, CAE’s internal control over financial reporting.
E. Limitations on the effectiveness of controls. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance with respect to the reliability of financial reporting and financial statement preparation. Accordingly, CAE’s management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that CAE’s internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud.

CAE will continue to periodically review its disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting and may make modifications from time to time as considered necessary or desirable.
NOTICES PURSUANT TO REGULATION BTR
The Company was not required by Rule 104 of Regulation BTR to send any notices to any of its directors or executive officers during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021.
AUDIT COMMITTEE AND AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT
CAE has a separately-designated standing Audit Committee established in accordance with section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Exchange Act. The Company’s Audit Committee is comprised of six directors, all of whom, in the opinion of the CAE’s board of directors, are independent (as determined under Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act and the rules of the NYSE) and are financially literate. CAE’s Audit Committee is, as of the date hereof, comprised of the following directors: Marianne Harrison, Alan N. MacGibbon, Mary Lou Maher, François Olivier, Gen. David G. Perkins, USA (Ret.) and Michael E. Roach.
CAE’s board of directors has determined that, as of the date hereof, it has three audit committee financial experts serving on its audit committee. The board of directors has determined that Ms. Marianne Harrison, Mr. Alan N. MacGibbon and Ms. Mary Lou Maher (who joined the audit committee on May 1, 2021) are audit committee financial experts within the meaning of General Instruction B(8)(b) of Form 40-F and are independent as that term is defined by the New York Stock Exchange’s corporate governance standards applicable to CAE.
The Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) has indicated that the designation of a person as an audit committee financial expert does not make such person an “expert” for any purpose, does not impose on such person any duties, obligations or liability that are greater than those imposed on such person as a member of the audit committee and the board of directors in the absence of such designation and does not affect the duties, obligations or liability of any other member of the audit committee or board of directors.
