    We are furnishing this management proxy circular to shareholders
    of Oppenheimer Holdings Inc. in connection with the solicitation
    of proxies by our management for use at an Annual and Special
    Meeting of our shareholders. The meeting will be held on
    May&#160;8, 2009 at 10:00&#160;a.m. (Toronto time), at the
    Toronto Board of Trade, Rooms A/B/C/D, 100&#160;King Street

    The purpose of the meeting is to (i)&#160;obtain shareholder
    approval to change our jurisdiction of incorporation from the
    federal jurisdiction of Canada to the State of Delaware in the
    United States of America through the adoption of a certificate
    of corporate domestication and a new certificate of
    incorporation, (ii)&#160;elect nine directors,
    (iii)&#160;appoint PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our auditors
    and authorize the Board of Directors and Audit Committee to fix
    the auditors&#146; remuneration, and (iv)&#160;receive our 2008
    Annual Report.

    We believe that our domestication will firmly and unambiguously
    establish us as a U.S. corporation, which will level the playing
    field with our principal competitors and assist us in achieving
    our strategic goals. By domiciling in the United States, we may
    enhance shareholder value over the long term with greater
    acceptance in the capital markets and improved marketability of
    our Class&#160;A non-voting shares. In addition, the change of
    jurisdiction will provide us with tax efficiencies, among other
    benefits, and potentially make us eligible for U.S. government
    financial programs. We chose the State of Delaware to be our
    domicile because the more favorable corporate environment
    afforded by Delaware will help us compete effectively with other
    public companies (many of which are incorporated in Delaware) in
    raising capital and attracting and retaining skilled and
    experienced personnel.

    If we complete the domestication, we will continue our legal
    existence in Delaware as if we had originally been incorporated
    under Delaware law. In addition, each outstanding Class&#160;A
    non-voting share and Class&#160;B voting share of Oppenheimer
    Holdings Inc. as a Canadian corporation will then represent one
    share of Class&#160;A Non-Voting Common Stock and Class&#160;B
    Voting Common Stock, as applicable, of Oppenheimer Holdings Inc.
    as a Delaware corporation. Our Class&#160;A non-voting shares
    are currently traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the
    symbol &#147;OPY.&#148; Following the completion of our
    domestication, our Class&#160;A non-voting shares will continue
    to be listed as shares of Class&#160;A Non-Voting Common Stock
    on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol &#147;OPY.&#148;

    The proposal for domestication is subject to approval by at
    least two-thirds of the votes cast by the holders of our
    Class&#160;A non-voting shares and Class&#160;B voting shares,
    voting together as a single class, whether in person or by proxy
    at a meeting if a quorum, or a majority of the total outstanding
    Class&#160;A non-voting shares and Class&#160;B voting shares,
    are present. Dissenting shareholders have the right to be paid
    the fair value of their shares under Section&#160;190 of the
    Canada Business Corporations Act. Our Board of Directors has
    reserved the right to terminate or abandon our domestication at
    any time prior to its effectiveness, notwithstanding shareholder
    approval, if it determines for any reason that the consummation
    of our domestication would be inadvisable or not in our and your
    best interests. If approved by our shareholders, it is
    anticipated that the domestication will become effective on or
    about May&#160;11, 2009 or as soon as practicable after the
    meeting of our shareholders.

    Your existing certificates representing your Oppenheimer
    Holdings Inc. Class&#160;A non-voting shares and Class&#160;B
    voting shares will represent the same number of the same class
    of shares of our common stock after the domestication without
    any action on your part. You will not have to exchange any share
    certificates. We will issue new certificates to you representing
    shares of capital stock of Oppenheimer Holdings Inc. as a
    Delaware corporation upon a transfer of the shares by you or at
    your request.

    The Board of Directors is proposing to change our jurisdiction
    of incorporation from the federal jurisdiction of Canada to the
    State of Delaware through a transaction called a
    &#147;continuance&#148; under Section&#160;188 of the CBCA, also
    referred to as a &#147;domestication&#148; under
    Section&#160;388 of the DGCL. Under the DGCL, a corporation
    becomes domesticated in Delaware by filing a certificate of
    corporate domestication and a certificate of incorporation with
    the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The
    domesticated corporation, which will be called Oppenheimer
    Holdings Inc., will become subject to the DGCL on the date of
    its domestication, but will be deemed for the purposes of the
    DGCL to have commenced its existence in Delaware on the date it
    originally commenced existence in Canada. The Board of Directors
    has unanimously approved the domestication, believes it to be in
    our best interests and in the best interests of our shareholders
    and unanimously recommends approval of Proposal&#160;1.

    Our Board of Directors believes that the domestication will
    firmly and unambiguously establish us as a U.S. corporation,
    which will level the playing field with our principal
    competitors, most of whom are U.S. corporations, and enhance our
    ability to achieve our strategic goals. Our Board of Directors
    also believes that by domiciling in the United States we may
    enhance shareholder value over the long term with greater
    acceptance of us in the capital markets and improved
    marketability of our Class&#160;A Shares. In addition, the
    domestication will provide us with a more efficient structure
    for tax purposes and potentially allow us to become eligible for
    U.S. federal programs such as the Capital Purchase Program
    announced by the U.S. Treasury under its Troubled Asset Relief
    Program. Our Board of Directors chose the State of Delaware to
    be our domicile because it believes the more favorable corporate
    environment afforded by Delaware will help us compete more
    effectively with other public companies, many of which are
    incorporated in Delaware, in raising capital and in attracting
    and retaining skilled, experienced personnel.

    The domestication will change the governing law that applies to

    of Delaware. Thereafter, Oppenheimer Holdings will be subject to
    the certificate of incorporation filed in Delaware. We will be

    of discontinuance issued by the Director appointed under the
    CBCA, which is expected to be the same date as the date of the
    filing of the certificate of corporate domestication and
    certificate of incorporation in Delaware. However, the Board of
    Directors may decide to delay the domestication or not to
    proceed with the domestication after receiving approval from our

    attributable to such holder&#146;s shares in the Corporation.
    Any U.S. shareholder that is not a 10% shareholder and whose
    shares have a fair market value of less than $50,000 on the date
    of the domestication, will recognize no gain or loss as a result
    of the domestication. A U.S. shareholder that is not a 10%
    shareholder but whose shares have a fair market value of at
    least $50,000 on the date of the domestication must generally
    recognize gain (but not loss) on the domestication equal to the
    difference between the fair market value of the Oppenheimer
    Holdings stock received at the time of the domestication over
    the shareholder&#146;s tax basis in our shares. Such a
    shareholder, however, instead of recognizing gain, may elect to
    include in income as a deemed dividend the &#147;all earnings
    and profits amount&#148; attributable to his shares in the
    Corporation which we refer to as a &#147;Deemed Dividend
    Election.&#148; Based on all available information, we believe
    that no U.S. shareholder of the Corporation should have a
    positive &#147;all earnings and profits amount&#148;
    attributable to such shareholder&#146;s shares in the
    Corporation, and that we are not a &#147;passive foreign
    investment company&#148; as that term is defined in the Internal
    Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, and accordingly
    no U.S. shareholder should be subject to tax on the
    domestication. Our belief with respect to the &#147;all earnings
    and profits amount&#148; results from detailed calculations
    performed by a nationally recognized accounting firm based on
    information provided to them by us. Our earnings and profits for
    this purpose were calculated in conformity

    with the relevant provisions of the Code and the Treasury
    Proposed and Final Regulations in force as of the date of this
    circular, the current administrative rulings and practices of
    the Internal Revenue Service, or the IRS and judicial decisions
    as they relate to those statutes and regulations. We do not have
    all historical financial information since our incorporation in
    1933 although we have reviewed financial information dating back
    to 1945. It is possible, although we believe highly unlikely,
    that we recognized earnings and profits in taxable years for
    which we do not have complete information. The amount of any
    such earnings and profits would negatively impact our
    calculations. However, based on the substantial financial
    information we have since 1945, our limited activity at the
    holding company level and the size of our existing earnings and
    profits deficit, we do not believe that a U.S. shareholder
    should have a positive &#147;all earnings and profits&#148;
    amount attributable to such shareholder&#146;s shares in the
    Corporation. As a result, we believe that no U.S. shareholder
    should be required to include any such amount in income as a
    result of the domestication. However , no assurance can be given
    that the IRS will agree with us. If it does not, a U.S.
    shareholder may be subject to adverse U.S. federal income tax
    consequences. A U.S. shareholder&#146;s tax basis in the shares
    of Oppenheimer Holdings received in the exchange will be equal
    to such shareholder&#146;s tax basis in the shares of the
    Corporation, increased by the amount of gain (if any) recognized
    in connection with the domestication or the amount of the
    &#147;all earnings and profits amount&#148; included in income
    by such U.S. shareholder. A U.S. shareholder&#146;s holding
    period in the shares of Oppenheimer Holdings should include the
    period of time during which such shareholder held his shares in
    the Corporation, provided that the shares of the Corporation
    were held as capital assets.

    immediately before the continuance for proceeds of disposition
    equal to the fair market value of the property at that time. We
    will be subject to a separate corporate emigration tax imposed

    Upon completion of the domestication, our shareholders will be
    holders of capital stock of Oppenheimer Holdings, a Delaware
    corporation, and their rights will be governed by the DGCL as
    well as Oppenheimer Holdings&#146; certificate of incorporation
    and by-laws. Shareholders should be aware that the rights they
    currently have under the CBCA may, with respect to certain
    matters, be different under the DGCL. For example, under the
    CBCA, a company has the authority to issue an unlimited number
    of shares whereas, under the DGCL, a Delaware corporation may
    only issue the number of shares that is authorized by its
    certificate of incorporation and shareholder approval must be
    obtained to amend the certificate of incorporation to authorize
    the issuance of additional shares. In addition, under the CBCA,
    one shareholder may constitute a quorum for purposes of a
    shareholders&#146; meeting whereas, under Delaware law, a quorum
    may consist of no less than one-third of the total voting power
    of the stockholders. On the other hand, under the CBCA,
    shareholders are entitled to appraisal rights for a number of
    extraordinary corporate actions, including an amalgamation with
    another unrelated corporation, some amendments to a
    corporation&#146;s articles of incorporation and the sale of all
    or substantially all of a corporation&#146;s assets, whereas
    under the DGCL, stockholders are only entitled to appraisal
    rights for certain mergers or consolidations and not for any
    other extraordinary corporate events. In addition, under the
    CBCA, shareholders owning at least 5% of our outstanding voting
    shares have the right to require the Board of Directors to call
    a special meeting of shareholders whereas, under the DGCL,
    stockholders have no right to require the board to call a
    special meeting. We refer you to the section entitled
    &#147;<I>The Domestication&#160;&#151; Comparison of Shareholder
    Rights</I>&#148; for a more detailed description of the material
    differences between the rights of Canadian shareholders and
    Delaware stockholders.

    consequences may arise under applicable law in other countries.
    If any of the following events or developments described below
    actually occur, the business, financial condition or operating
    results of Oppenheimer Holdings could be materially harmed. This

    For Canadian tax purposes, on the date of the domestication we
    will be deemed to have a year end and will also be deemed to
    have sold all of our property and received the fair market value
    for those properties. We do not expect that we will be subject
    to any Canadian taxation on this deemed disposition because of
    the availability of an election that can be made pursuant to
    subsection 93(1) of the ITA, as better described below under the
    heading &#147;<I>Proposal&#160;1&#160;&#151; The
    Domestication&#160;&#151; Canadian Tax Considerations</I>&#148;.
    We will be subject to an additional corporate emigration tax
    equal to 5% of the amount by which the fair market value of our
    property, net of liabilities, exceeds the
    <FONT style="white-space: nowrap">paid-up</FONT>
    capital of our issued and outstanding shares. We have completed
    certain calculations of our tax accounts with the assistance of
    professional advisors, and assuming the fair market value of our
    property reflects the market price of our stock, a stock price
    of $13.50 per Class&#160;A Share and that the exchange rate of
    the Canadian dollar to the U.S. dollar is CDN $1.00 equals
    $0.80, we have estimated that this corporate emigration tax
    would not exceed $4.0&#160;million. The amount of such corporate
    emigration tax will be increased (or reduced) by any increase
    (or decrease) in the value of our stock price, and it is
    possible that the Canadian federal tax authorities may not
    accept our valuations or calculations of our tax accounts, which
    may result in additional taxes payable as a result of the
    domestication. As is customary, when a Canadian federal tax
    liability depends largely on factual matters, we have not
    applied to the Canadian federal tax authorities for a ruling on
    this matter and do not intend to do so.

    We are of the view that, for the foreseeable future, our
    principal undertaking will be carrying on a financial services
    business rather than an investment business for purposes of the
    proposed &#147;foreign investment entity&#148; tax rules under
    the ITA. As such, we should not qualify as a foreign investment
    entity, and Canadian resident shareholders should not be
    adversely affected by the proposed tax rules applicable to a
    foreign investment entity. However, the determination of whether
    or not we are a foreign investment entity must be made on an
    annual basis at the end of each taxation year.

    available to us, we believe that Oppenheimer Holdings Inc. has a
    deficit in &#147;earnings and profits.&#148; As a result, no
    U.S. shareholder should have a positive &#147;all earnings and
    profits amount&#148; attributable to such shareholder&#146;s
    shares of the Corporation, and therefore no U.S. shareholder
    should be required to include any such amount in income as a
    result of the domestication. We did not have all historical
    financial information since our incorporation in 1933 available
    when calculating our earnings and profits, although we have
    reviewed financial information dating back to 1945. It is
    possible, although we believe highly unlikely, that we
    recognized earnings and profits in taxable years for which we do
    not have complete information. The amount of any such earnings
    and profits would negatively impact our calculations. However,
    based on the substantial amount of historical financial
    information we have since 1945, our limited activity at the
    holding company level and the size of our existing earnings and
    profits deficit, we do not believe that a U.S. shareholder
    should have a positive &#147;all earnings and profits&#148;
    amount attributable to such shareholder&#146;s shares in the
    Corporation. However, if the IRS does not agree with our

    Upon consummation of the domestication, our shareholders will
    become stockholders of a Delaware corporation. There are
    material differences between the CBCA and the DGCL and our
    current and proposed charter and by-laws. For example, under
    Canadian law, many significant corporate actions such as
    amending a corporation&#146;s articles of incorporation or
    consummating a merger require the approval of at least
    two-thirds of the votes cast by shareholders, whereas under
    Delaware law, all that is required is a simple majority of the
    total voting power of all of those entitled to vote on the
    matter. Furthermore, shareholders under Canadian law are
    entitled to appraisal rights under a number of extraordinary
    corporate actions, including an amalgamation with another
    unrelated corporation, certain amendments to a
    corporation&#146;s articles of incorporation or the sale of all
    or substantially all of a corporation&#146;s assets, whereas
    under Delaware law, stockholders are only entitled to appraisal
    rights for certain mergers or consolidations. As shown by the
    examples above, if the domestication is approved, our
    shareholders, in certain circumstances, may be afforded less
    protection under the DGCL than they had under the CBCA. See

    The Board of Directors is proposing to change our jurisdiction

    State of Delaware through a transaction called a
    &#147;continuance&#148; under Section&#160;188 of the CBCA, also

    Section&#160;388 of the DGCL, and approve a new certificate of
    incorporation to be effective on the date of the domestication.
    We will become subject to the DGCL on the date of our
    domestication, but will be deemed for the purposes of the DGCL
    to have commenced our existence in Delaware on the date we
    originally commenced our existence in Canada. Under the DGCL, a
    corporation becomes domesticated in Delaware by filing a
    certificate of corporate domestication and a certificate of
    incorporation for the corporation being domesticated. The Board
    of Directors has unanimously approved our domestication and the
    related certificate of incorporation of Oppenheimer Holdings,
    believes it to be in our best interests and in the best
    interests of our shareholders, and unanimously recommends
    approval of the domestication and the approval of the

    The domestication will be effective on the date set forth in the

    discontinued in Canada as of the date shown on the certificate
    of discontinuance issued by the Director appointed under the

    authority in the United States, including the SEC. We will
    continue to file periodic reports with the SEC pursuant to the

    adopt by-laws, copies of which are attached to this Circular as

    Our Board of Directors has determined that the domestication
    will result in an overall simplification of our corporate
    structure which is in our best interests and the best interests
    of our shareholders. The Board of Directors believes that the
    achievement of our strategic goals would be enhanced by our
    clear and unambiguous identification as a U.S. corporation.

    All of our significant operating businesses are located in, and
    our operating businesses have been headquartered for over
    25&#160;years in the United States. We have voluntarily reported
    under the Exchange Act for approximately 20&#160;years. Most of
    our shareholders reside in the United States and our
    Class&#160;A Shares are listed exclusively on the NYSE. Despite
    this connection with the United States, we believe we are not
    uniformly perceived by investors, customers, lenders, employees
    or potential strategic partners as a U.S. company. Our Board of
    Directors believes that the absence of a clear U.S. identity may
    prevent us from maximizing the opportunities and relationships
    with investors, existing and potential customers, lenders and
    potential partners, many of whom prefer to engage in business
    with a U.S. entity. By changing our jurisdiction of
    incorporation from Canada to Delaware, and also changing our
    corporate headquarters from Toronto to New York, we will firmly
    and unambiguously establish ourselves as a U.S. corporation.
    This will level the playing field with our principal
    competitors, most of whom are U.S. corporations.

    The Board of Directors also believes that by domiciling in the
    United States we may enhance shareholder value over the long
    term with greater acceptance of us in the capital markets and
    improved marketability of our Class&#160;A Shares. The
    Class&#160;A Shares are not presently covered by securities
    analysts either in Canada or the United States. We believe that
    one reason for this lack of coverage is that our business
    resides in the United States but our corporate parent does not.
    We believe there is a greater likelihood of such coverage if we
    move our domicile to the United&#160;States.

    In addition to the foregoing, the Board of Directors believes
    that being domiciled in the United States should increase our
    flexibility to enter into certain types of mergers, acquisitions
    and business combination transactions with other U.S.
    corporations which, if we remain a Canadian corporation, could
    be more difficult to accomplish due to adverse tax consequences.

    Recent events in the credit markets of the United States have
    created significant market imbalances and placed pressure on our
    capital as well as that of many of our competitors. In
    connection with these disruptions, the U.S. government has
    introduced a number of programs intended to add liquidity to the
    markets through providing funding to financial services firms.
    In general, these programs have been viewed as being directed
    more at companies organized in the United States than companies
    organized outside the United States, and a move to the United
    States should enhance our eligibility under these programs. One
    of these programs is the Capital Purchase Program, or CPP,
    announced by the U.S. Treasury under its Troubled Asset Relief
    Program, or TARP. Under this program, to the extent funds remain
    available or more funds are allocated in the future, we may be
    eligible for a capital injection from the U.S. government, in
    exchange for which we may be required to issue preferred stock
    and warrants to purchase our Class&#160;A Shares. The
    availability of the CPP and other federal programs, many of
    which have been announced but have not been fully implemented,
    could assist us in resolving issues arising from the failure of
    the auction rate securities market, which has trapped our
    clients in illiquid auction rate securities. Many of our
    competitors have redeemed auction rate securities from their
    customers and our failure to have done so presents a significant
    issue for us with our clients and regulators. We have no
    assurance that we would qualify for CPP or any other federal
    program nor have we determined that we would participate in any
    of these programs. Overall, though, we believe the domestication
    would put us in a better overall position to participate in
    available programs than if we remain domiciled outside the
    United States.

    environment afforded by Delaware will help us compete more
    effectively with other public companies, many of which are
    incorporated in Delaware, in raising capital and in attracting
    and retaining skilled, experienced personnel. For many years,
    Delaware has followed a policy of encouraging public companies
    to incorporate in the state by adopting comprehensive corporate
    laws that are revised regularly in response to developments in
    modern corporate law and changes in business circumstances. The
    Delaware courts are known for their considerable expertise in
    dealing with complex corporate issues and providing
    predictability through a substantial body of case law construing
    Delaware&#146;s corporate law. Coupled with an active bar known
    for continually assessing and recommending improvements to the
    DGCL, these factors add greater certainty in complying with
    fiduciary responsibilities and assessing risks associated with
    conducting business.

    In considering its recommendation in favor of the domestication,
    our Board of Directors weighed the estimated tax liability to us
    arising from this transaction. See

    Domestication&#160;&#151; United States and Canadian Income Tax
    Considerations.</I>&#148; With the assistance of professional
    advisors, we have reviewed our assets, liabilities,
    <FONT style="white-space: nowrap">paid-up</FONT>
    capital and other tax balances and assuming that the market
    price of our Class&#160;A Shares does not exceed $13.50 per
    share and that the exchange rate of the Canadian dollar to the
    U.S. dollar is CDN $1.00=$0.80, it is anticipated that Canadian
    income taxation arising from the domestication would not exceed
    $4.0&#160;million. Accordingly, due to the recent decline in the
    share price of the Class&#160;A Shares, this potential tax
    liability would be substantially less than it would have been if
    the domestication had occurred in the past several years.

    Under Delaware common law, directors have a duty of care and a
    duty of loyalty. The duty of care requires that the directors
    act in an informed and deliberative manner and inform
    themselves, prior to making a business decision, of all material
    information reasonably available to them. The duty of loyalty is
    the duty to act in good faith, not out of self-interest, and in
    a manner which the directors reasonably believe to be in the
    best interests of the stockholders. In addition, the DGCL
    provides that a transaction between a Delaware corporation and
    one of its directors or officers or an entity affiliated with
    one of its directors or officers is not voidable solely for such
    reason so long as (i)&#160;the material facts of the
    director&#146;s or officer&#146;s interest in the transaction

    mergers or consolidations and not in the case of other
    fundamental changes such as the sale of all or substantially all
    of the assets of the corporation or amendments to the
    certificate of incorporation, unless so provided in the

    or consolidation have the right to seek appraisal of their
    shares in connection with certain mergers or consolidations by
    demanding payment in cash for their shares equal to the fair
    value of such shares. Fair value is determined by a court in an
    action timely brought by the stockholders who have properly
    demanded appraisal of their shares. In determining fair value,
    the court may consider all relevant factors, including the rate
    of interest which the resulting or surviving corporation would
    have had to pay to borrow money during the pendency of the court
    proceeding.

    The change in our place of incorporation will constitute a
    reorganization within the meaning of Code
    Section&#160;368(a)(1)(F), which we refer to as an F
    Reorganization, and generally will not represent a taxable
    transaction to Oppenheimer Canada for United States federal
    income tax purposes, provided that holders of not more than 1%
    of Oppenheimer Canada&#146;s shares entitled to vote on the
    transaction elect to exercise their dissenters&#146; rights
    (&#147;Dissenting Shareholders&#148;). Under IRS guidance, if
    holders of less than 1% of Oppenheimer Canada&#146;s shares
    entitled to vote on the domestication exercise their dissenters
    rights, the domestication would qualify as an F Reorganization.

    If the domestication does not qualify as an F Reorganization for
    the reason stated above, it will qualify as a tax-free
    transaction to Oppenheimer Canada under Code
    Section&#160;368(a)(1)(D) of the Code, which we refer to as a D
    Reorganization, unless Oppenheimer Canada is required to use an
    amount of its assets to satisfy claims of Dissenting
    Shareholders which would prevent Oppenheimer Canada from
    transferring substantially all of its assets to Oppenheimer
    Delaware. Historically, for advance ruling purposes, the IRS
    defines &#147;substantially all&#148; to mean 70% of the fair
    market value of gross assets, and at least 90% of the fair
    market value of net assets of such entity. In determining if
    Oppenheimer Delaware acquires &#147;substantially all&#148; of
    the assets of Oppenheimer Canada, payments of cash by
    Oppenheimer Canada to Dissenting Shareholders will not be
    considered assets acquired by Oppenheimer Delaware. Oppenheimer
    Canada will satisfy the &#147;substantially all&#148; test
    unless it is required to pay to Dissenting Shareholders more
    than 30% of the fair market value of its gross assets and more
    than 10% of the fair market value of its net assets. Oppenheimer
    Canada believes that the amount it may be required to pay to
    Dissenting Shareholders will not prevent it from transferring
    &#147;substantially all&#148; of its assets to Oppenheimer
    Delaware within the meaning of the IRS ruling guidelines.
    Oppenheimer Canada believes based on all relevant facts that the
    domestication qualifies as a tax-free reorganization. To the
    extent that the domestication would not qualify as a tax-free
    reorganization based on the tests set forth above, the Board of
    Directors of Oppenheimer Canada will abandon the domestication.

    However, to the extent that Oppenheimer Canada owns any United
    States real property interests, as that term is defined in Code
    Section&#160;897(c)(1), Oppenheimer Canada will recognize gain
    to the extent consideration received by Oppenheimer Canada for
    such interest exceeds Oppenheimer Canada&#146;s adjusted tax
    basis in such interest, regardless of whether the transaction
    qualifies as an F Reorganization or a D Reorganization. We do

    In the event the domestication does not qualify as either an F
    Reorganization or a D Reorganization, a U.S. Holder would
    recognize gain or loss with respect to his shares of Oppenheimer
    Canada equal to the difference between the stockholder&#146;s
    basis in his Oppenheimer Canada shares and the fair market
    value, as of the effective time of the domestication, of the
    Oppenheimer Delaware shares. In such event, a stockholder&#146;s

    those statutes and regulations. We do not have all historical
    financial information since our incorporation in 1933 although
    we have reviewed financial information dating back to 1945. It
    is possible, although we believe highly unlikely, that we
    recognized earnings and profits in taxable years for which we do
    not have complete information. The amount of any such earnings
    and profits could, if material, negatively impact our
    calculations. However, based on the substantial financial
    information we have from 1945, our limited activity at the
    holding company level and the size of our existing earnings and
    profits deficit, we do not believe that a U.S. Holder should
    have a positive &#147;all earnings and profits&#148; amount
    attributable to such U.S. Holder&#146;s shares of Oppenheimer
    Canada. As a result, we believe that no U.S. Holder should be
    required to include any such amount in income as a result of the
    domestication. However, no assurance can be given that the IRS

    In addition to the discussion under the heading &#147;Effects of
    Code Section&#160;367&#148; above, the domestication might be a
    taxable event to U.S. Holders if Oppenheimer Canada is or ever
    was a passive foreign investment company, or a PFIC, under
    Section&#160;1297 of the Code, provided that
    Section&#160;1291(f) of the Code is currently effective.

<DIV align="left" style="margin-left: 0%; margin-right: 0%; text-indent: 4%; font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times; color: #000000; background: #FFFFFF">
    Generally, a foreign corporation is a PFIC if 75% or more of its
    gross income for a taxable year is passive income or if, on
    average for such taxable year, 50% or more of the value of its
    assets held by the corporation during a taxable year produce or
    are held to produce passive income. Passive income includes
    dividends, interest, rents and royalties, but excludes rents and
    royalties that are derived in the active conduct of a trade or
    business and that are received from an unrelated person, as well
    as interest, dividends, rents and royalties received from a
    related person that are allocable to income of such related
    person other than passive income. For purposes of these rules,
    Oppenheimer Canada would be considered to own the assets of and
    recognize the income of any subsidiary corporations as to which
    it owns 25% or more of the value of their outstanding stock, in
    proportion to such ownership. If a foreign corporation is
    classified as a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S.
    Holder owns stock in the foreign corporation, the foreign
    corporation generally remains thereafter classified as a PFIC
    with respect to that stockholder. Oppenheimer Canada believes
    that it is not and has never been a PFIC. Accordingly, the
    domestication should not be a taxable event for any U.S. Holder
    based on an application of the PFIC rules. However, the
    determination of whether a foreign corporation is a PFIC is
    primarily factual and there is little administrative or judicial
    authority on which to rely to make a determination. Hence, the
    IRS might not agree that Oppenheimer Canada is not a PFIC.

    Section&#160;1291(f) of the Code generally requires that, to the
    extent provided in regulations, a United States person who
    disposes of stock of a PFIC recognizes gain notwithstanding any
    other provision of the Code. No final Treasury regulations have
    been promulgated under this statute. Proposed Treasury
    regulations were promulgated in 1992 with a retroactive
    effective date. If finalized in their current form, these
    regulations would generally require gain recognition by United
    States persons exchanging stock of Oppenheimer Canada for stock
    of Oppenheimer Delaware, if Oppenheimer Canada were classified
    as a PFIC at any time during such United States person&#146;s
    holding period in such stock and such person had not made either
    a &#147;qualified electing fund&#148; election under Code
    Section&#160;1295 for the first taxable year in which such U.S.
    Holder owned Oppenheimer Canada shares or in which Oppenheimer
    Canada was a PFIC, whichever is later; or a
    <FONT style="white-space: nowrap">&#147;mark-to-market&#148;</FONT>
    election under Code Section&#160;1296. The tax on any such gain
    so recognized would be imposed at the rate applicable to
    ordinary income and an interest charge would apply based on a
    complex set of computational rules designed to offset the tax
    deferral to such stockholders on our undistributed earnings.

    Canadian tax liability as a result of the deemed capital gain.
    Management intends to mitigate this potential tax liability by
    making a timely tax election under subsection 93(1) of the ITA
    to treat a portion of the deemed proceeds of disposition as
    being a tax-deductible inter-corporate dividend that would
    reduce the amount of this capital gain. Such election must be

    before the continuance exceeds the aggregate of our liabilities

    connection with this emigration tax) and the amount of

    imposed at a rate of 5% on our net assets determined under the
    foregoing formula, unless one of the main reasons for our
    changing of residence to the United States was to reduce the
    amount of this corporate emigration tax or the amount of
    Canadian withholding tax paid by us, in which case the rate will

    With the assistance of professional advisors, we have reviewed

    U.S. dollar is CDN $1.00 equals $0.80, it is anticipated that
    Canadian income taxation arising on the continuance would not
    exceed $4.0&#160;million. This conclusion is based in part on
    determinations of factual matters, including determinations
    regarding the fair market value of our assets and tax

    result of the continuance and do not intend to apply for such a
    ruling given the factual nature of the determinations involved.
    There can be no assurance that the CRA will accept the
    valuations or management&#146;s estimate of the amount of
    Canadian taxes that will be payable upon the continuance.
    Accordingly, there is no assurance that the CRA will conclude
    after the effective time of the continuance that no additional
    Canadian taxes are due as a result of the continuance or that
    the amount of such additional Canadian taxes will not be
    significant.

    Holders of Class&#160;B Voting Common Stock are entitled to one
    vote for each share held of record on all matters on which
    stockholders are permitted to vote. Holders of Class&#160;A
    Non-Voting Common Stock are not entitled to vote on any matters
    unless expressly permitted under Delaware law. The proposed
    certificate of incorporation of Oppenheimer Holdings provides
    that, except as otherwise provided by law, the affirmative vote
    of a majority in voting power of the shares of Class&#160;B
    Voting Common Stock, present in person or represented by proxy
    at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of
    the stockholders. Delaware law requires the affirmative vote of
    a majority in voting power of the outstanding shares to
    authorize certain extraordinary actions, such as mergers,
    consolidations, dissolutions or an amendment to the
    certification of incorporation of Oppenheimer Holdings. There is
    no cumulative voting for the election of directors. The
    Class&#160;A stockholders shall have the right to attend all
    stockholders&#146; meetings and receive the same informational
    distributions relating to those meetings as provided to the
    Class&#160;B stockholders. Upon a liquidation, Oppenheimer
    Holdings&#146; creditors and any holders of preferred stock with
    preferential liquidation rights will be paid before a
    distribution to holders of the common stock of Oppenheimer
    Holdings. The Class&#160;A and Class&#160;B stockholders are
    treated equally for purposes of liquidation rights. The holders
    of the common stock of Oppenheimer Holdings would be entitled to
    receive a pro rata amount per share of any excess distribution.
    Holders of common stock have no preemptive or subscription
    rights. There are no conversion rights, redemption rights,
    sinking fund provisions or fixed dividend rights with respect to
    the common stock. All outstanding shares of the common stock are
    fully paid and nonassessable.

    The proposed certificate of incorporation of Oppenheimer
    Holdings empowers the Board of Directors to issue up to
    50,000,000&#160;shares of preferred stock from time to time, in
    one or more series. The Board of Directors also may fix the
    designation, powers, preferences and rights and the
    qualifications, limitations and restrictions of those shares,
    including dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights,
    redemption rights, terms of sinking funds, liquidation
    preferences and the number of shares constituting any series or
    the designation of the series. Terms selected could decrease the
    amount of earnings and assets available for distribution to
    holders of common stock. The rights of holders of the common
    stock will be subject to the rights of the holders of any
    preferred shares that may be issued in the future. Additionally,
    the issuance of preferred stock may have the effect of
    decreasing the market price of the common stock. Although there
    are no shares of preferred stock currently outstanding and
    Oppenheimer Holdings has no present intention to issue any
    shares of preferred stock, any issuance could have the effect of
    making it more difficult for a third party to acquire a majority
    of Oppenheimer Holdings&#146; outstanding voting stock.

    the published information provided in the 2008 proxy circulars
    filed by: Legg Mason, Jefferies Group, Raymond James Financial
    Inc., Knight Capital Group, Inc., Piper Jaffray Companies,
    Friedman Billings Ramsay, Stifel Financial Corp., KBW Group, SWS
    Group Inc., Cowen Group, Ladenberg Thalman Financial Services
    Inc., Labranche Sanders Morris Harris and JPM Group.
    Approximately half of this peer group had a higher market
    capitalization than ours and approximately half of the peer
    group had a lower market capitalization than ours at the time of
    the review. The information provided by this peer review was
    used to ensure that our compensation is generally competitive
    with the industry. The Compensation Committee does not have any
    formal benchmarking strategy or any specific targets. The goal
    of the Compensation Committee is to provide the compensation
    structure to enable us to retain and reward the executive
    officers that we believe are critical to our long-term success.
    The Compensation Committee also structures compensation to
    ensure that a portion of the Named Executives&#146; compensation
    is directly related to corporate performance and other factors
    that directly and indirectly influence shareholder value.

    Generally, the Compensation Committee&#146;s approach has been
    to approve total compensation including the annual bonus for our
    Named Executives. The Compensation Committee does not
    necessarily grant share-based awards on an annual basis to
    employees, including the Named Executives, but considers the
    number of outstanding share-based awards already awarded to the
    employee when determining total compensation in any year. Upon
    the expiration of an employee&#146;s share-based awards, the
    Compensation Committee makes the determination whether or not to
    grant new awards and on what terms. All share-based awards are
    priced at fair value at the grant date. The Compensation
    Committee believes that, as shareholders, the Named Executives
    will be motivated to consistently deliver financial results that
    build wealth for all shareholders over the long-term. The
    adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, or
    SFAS, 123(R), &#147;Share-Based Payment&#148;, on
    January&#160;1, 2006, requires us to expense stock options.
    Since 2006, we granted only a very limited number of stock
    options and none to the Named Executives. The Compensation
    Committee is cognizant of the impact of SFAS&#160;123(R) on our
    financial results and will strive to balance the granting of
    stock options and stock awards with the other objectives of
    executive compensation set forth above. See discussion under
    &#147;<I>Stock Option Grants</I>&#148; and &#147;<I>Stock
    Awards</I>&#148; below.

    The Compensation Committee believes that this approach best
    serves the interests of shareholders by enabling us to structure
    compensation in a way that meets the requirements of the highly
    competitive environment in which we operate, while ensuring that
    senior executive officers are compensated in a manner that
    advances both our short and long-term interests and those of our
    shareholders. The Compensation Committee is limited in its
    ability to make share-based awards due to the relatively small
    number of our outstanding Class&#160;A Shares and our policy
    that share-based compensation not exceed 20% of the outstanding
    Class&#160;A Shares. At March&#160;30, 2009, we had shareholder
    approval to award 2,394,176 Class&#160;A Shares pursuant to our
    share-based awards plans (18.3% of its outstanding Class&#160;A
    and Class&#160;B Shares), of which

    On January&#160;14, 2008, we acquired a large part of the U.S.
    capital markets business of CIBC World Markets Corporation, or
    CIBC. In connection with this acquisition, offers of employment
    were made to certain former CIBC employees. The terms of certain
    of these offers of employment included guaranteed salary and

    /or stock awards. In connection with the CIBC acquisition, we
    agreed to pay CIBC future payments of deferred incentive

    The Compensation Committee, with recommendations from the Chief

    &#147;<I>Chief&#160;Executive Officer Compensation</I>&#148;

    Executives. The Former CIBC Executives were previously employed
    by CIBC and transferred to Oppenheimer&#160;&#038; Co., our
    subsidiary, on January&#160;14, 2008, as part of our acquisition
    of certain assets of the U.S. investment banking business of

    entered into on November&#160;2, 2007, which we refer to as the

    2008. The compensation guarantees for the Former CIBC Executives
    applied only to compensation awarded in 2008. In addition, the

    performance of the Corporation and his assessment of the
    contribution of each senior executive to that performance. The
    Compensation Committee then makes recommendations to the Board
    of Directors with respect to bonuses. Annual bonuses for our
    senior executive officers were lower in 2008 compared to 2007 in
    response to the operational losses experienced by us in 2008
    compared to record earnings in 2007. The Compensation Committee
    recognizes that the severe downturn in the economic environment
    coupled with the high costs in 2008 associated with the CIBC
    Acquisition contributed to the financial losses in fiscal 2008.
    However, despite the high level of effort from the senior
    executive officers in 2008, their bonus compensation was scaled
    back to reflect our operational losses in 2008. Senior executive
    officers, including the Chief Executive Officer, have the right
    to elect to defer a portion of their annual bonus and
    performance-based compensation under our Executive Deferred
    Compensation Plan, a non-qualified unfunded plan.

    <I>Stock Option Grants.</I>&#160;&#160;Under our 2006 Equity
    Incentive Plan, or EIP, our senior executive officers and

    Committee based upon a variety of considerations, including the
    date of the last grant made to the officer or employee, as well
    as considerations relating to the contribution and performance
    of the specific optionee. In addition, stock option grants may
    be awarded as a retention tool for new employees. Due to the
    relatively high cost of stock option awards since the adoption
    of SFAS&#160;123(R) on January&#160;1, 2006, we have generally
    limited our use of this type of award.

    <I>Stock Awards.</I>&#160;&#160;Under our Employee Share Plan,
    or the ESP, our and our subsidiaries&#146; executive officers
    and employees (other than the Chief Executive Officer) are
    granted stock awards by the Compensation Committee based upon
    the recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer and based
    upon a variety of considerations, relating to the contribution
    and performance of the specific award recipient. A limited
    number of senior executives and employees, none of whom are
    Named Executives, are offered the opportunity to receive up to
    25% of their year-end bonus in Class&#160;A Shares. For example,
    under the terms of this offer, if extended, the employee may
    elect (in December 2008)&#160;with respect to his/her
    2009&#160;year-end bonus to purchase Class&#160;A Shares at fair
    market value on a pre-determined date in the first week of
    January 2010, determined by the Compensation Committee. If such
    election is made, the executive is awarded a number of
    restricted Class&#160;A Shares equal to 15% of the Class&#160;A
    Shares purchased by the executive, which restricted Class&#160;A
    Shares vest on the third anniversary date of the award of such
    shares. In addition, stock awards may be awarded as an
    inducement to employment for new employees and as a retention
    tool for existing employees. Stock awards are invariably subject
    to a vesting period and we believe that these awards are useful
    in retaining our key executive personnel. On January&#160;29,
    2008, we awarded 417,363 restricted Class&#160;A Shares to our
    employees under the ESP, including 25,000 to the Chief Executive
    Officer, 10,000 to Ms.&#160;Roberts, 10,000 to Mr.&#160;Heinberg
    and 10,000 to Mr.&#160;Perman. These awards vest on
    January&#160;28, 2011. On February&#160;25, 2009, we awarded
    additional restricted Class&#160;A Shares to our employees under
    the ESP, including 75,000 to Mr.&#160;Lowenthal and 10,000 to
    each of Ms.&#160;Roberts and Mr.&#160;Holmes.

    <I>Executive Deferred Compensation Plan.</I>&#160;&#160;The
    Executive Deferred Compensation Plan, or EDCP, was established
    with a dual purpose. The EDCP, together with its sister plan,
    the Deferred Incentive Plan, or DIP, is maintained to offer
    certain high-performing financial advisors bonuses requiring a
    mandatory deferral subject to vesting provisions. Further
    description of the EDCP and the DIP can be found in note&#160;12

    for the year ended December&#160;31, 2008 which is incorporated
    by reference into this Circular. The EDCP also provides for
    voluntary deferral of year-end bonuses by our senior executives.
    These voluntary deferrals are not subject to vesting. We do not
    make contributions to the EDCP for the Named Executives and
    other senior level executives. Mr.&#160;Lowenthal has made
    voluntary deferrals into the EDCP in past years. The EDCP
    provides a benefit to participants in that the
    participant&#146;s year-end bonus can be deferred on a tax free
    basis until a pre-designated future time. This type of benefit
    is commonly available to senior executive officers of our
    competitors and is offered by us in order to remain competitive.

    workforce through reliable and competitive health and other
    benefits. Deferred compensation and 401(k) plans help employees,
    especially long-service employees, save and prepare financially
    for retirement. The Named Executives receive the same benefits
    as all full-time employees. Our qualified 401(k) Plan allowed
    employees to contribute up to $15,500 for 2008 plus an
    additional $5,000 for employees over age&#160;50. Employees may
    continue to retain their 401(k) Plan account after they leave us
    so long as their account balance is $5,000 or more. At
    age&#160;70.5, minimum distributions must begin.

    The Compensation Committee, comprised of independent directors,
    reviewed and discussed the above Compensation Discussion and
    Analysis with our management. In reaching its conclusions, the
    members of the Compensation Committee were aware of the recent
    focus of the media, the government and the general population on
    the compensation of executives and employees of financial
    service companies. The Compensation Committee determined that
    our practices aligned pay practices with corporate success, and
    that the payments made to executives and employees were
    substantially so aligned, except that in the case of a
    substantial number of new employees who, as a result of the
    terms of the CIBC Acquisition, had their compensation
    contractually determined for the fiscal year 2008 and no
    measurement standard could be applied to align the compensation
    with benefits received by us. Based on the review and
    discussions, the Compensation Committee approved and recommended
    to our Board of Directors that the Compensation Discussion and
    Analysis be included in this Circular.

    voluntary deferrals. The aggregate balances shown in column
    (e)&#160;of the table above represent amounts that the Named
    Executives earned as year-end bonuses but elected to defer, plus
    earnings (or losses). Such earnings (or losses) for fiscal 2008
    are reflected in column (d)&#160;of the table. Account balances
    are invested in phantom investments selected by the Named
    Executives from a menu of deemed investment choices.
    Participants may change their deemed investment choices
    quarterly. When participants elect to defer amounts into the
    EDCP, they also elect when the amounts will ultimately be paid
    out to them. Distributions may either be made in a specific
    future year or at a time that begins after retirement. In
    accordance with Section&#160;409A of the Code, in general,
    distribution schedules cannot be accelerated (other than for
    hardship) and to delay distribution, the participant must make
    such an election at least one year before distribution would
    otherwise have commenced and the new distribution must be
    delayed a minimum of five years after distribution would have
    initially begun.

    amendment permits the Company to provide broader indemnification
    rights than permitted prior thereto) (as used in this

    rights to indemnification, the Company shall indemnify any such
    Indemnitee in connection with a Proceeding (or part thereof)
    initiated by such Indemnitee only if such Proceeding (or part

    the Company to recover an Advancement of Expenses pursuant to
    the terms of an Undertaking, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to
    be paid also the expense of prosecuting or defending such suit

    recover an Advancement of Expenses pursuant to the terms of an
    Undertaking the Company shall be entitled to recover such
    expenses upon a Final Adjudication that, the Indemnitee has not
    met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Delaware
    Law. Neither the failure of the Company (including its Board of
    Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to
    have made a determination prior to the commencement of such suit
    that indemnification of the Indemnitee is proper in the
    circumstances because the Indemnitee has met the applicable
    standard of conduct set forth in the Delaware Law, nor an actual
    determination by the Company (including its Board of Directors,
    independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the
    Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct,
    shall create a presumption that the Indemnitee has not met the
    applicable standard of conduct or, in the case of such a suit
    brought by the Indemnitee, be a defense to such suit. In any
    suit brought by the Indemnitee to enforce a right to
    indemnification or to an Advancement of Expenses hereunder, or
    by the Company to recover an Advancement of Expenses pursuant to
    the terms of an Undertaking, the burden of proving that the
    Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such
    Advancement of Expenses, under this Article&#160;VII or
    otherwise shall be on the Company.
