In many cases, common shares beneficially owned by a holder (“beneficial holder”) are registered in the name of a securities dealer or broker or other intermediary, or a clearing agency. A beneficial holder should, in particular, review the section entitled “Non-Registered Shareholders” in the accompanying Circular and carefully follow the instructions of their securities dealer or other intermediary. Some holders may own securities as both a registered and a beneficial holder and will need to vote separately as a registered holder and as a beneficial holder.

Beneficial holders should follow instructions for voting conveyed to them by their intermediaries. If a common share is held by two or more individuals, any one of them present or represented by proxy at the Meeting may, in the absence of the other or others, vote at the Meeting. However, if more than one of them are present or represented by proxy, they must vote together the number of common shares indicated on the proxy.
