 or notice that is required to be delivered to those security holders. However, such rights must be exercised within prescribed time limits. Security holders should refer to the applicable provisions of the securities legislation of their province or territory for particulars of those rights or consult a lawyer. 36 TABLE OF CONTENTS SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS FOR THE 2026 ANNUAL MEETING Vireo is currently subject to both the rules of the SEC under the Exchange Act and the provisions of the BCBCA with respect to Shareholder proposals. As clearly indicated under the BCBCA and the rules of the SEC under the Exchange Act, simply submitting a Shareholder proposal does not guarantee its inclusion in the proxy materials. Shareholders who, in accordance with the SEC’s Rule 14a-8, wish to present proposals for inclusion in the proxy materials to be distributed by us in connection with our 2026 annual meeting of Shareholders must submit their proposals by certified mail, return receipt requested, to the Secretary of Vireo on or before January 9, 2026 (which is 120 calendar days before the anniversary of the date this Circular was first sent to Shareholders), to be eligible for inclusion in our proxy statement and proxy card or VIF relating to that meeting. In the event that we hold our 2026 annual meeting of Shareholders more than 30 days before or after the one-year anniversary date of the Meeting, we will disclose the new deadline by which Shareholders’ proposals must be received by any means reasonably calculated to inform Shareholders. An untimely or incomplete proposal or nomination may be excluded from consideration at the 2026 annual meeting of Shareholders. A Shareholder also may nominate a person for election as a director of Vireo at an annual meeting of Shareholders, other than pursuant to a Shareholder proposal under the rules of the SEC under the Exchange Act and the provisions of the BCBCA by complying with the procedures set forth in the Advance Notice provisions of the Vireo’s Articles.
