 responsible for audit fee negotiations with Davidson & Company LLP, subject to the approval of the Board. Davidson & Company LLP has advised Vireo that it is “independent” of Vireo within the meaning of the SEC’s rules and regulations, and those of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. Representatives of Davidson & Company LLP are expected to be present at the Meeting, will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so, and are expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions. Vireo is asking Shareholders to appoint Davidson & Company LLP to serve as Vireo’s independent registered public accounting firm for the ensuing year and to authorize the Board to fix their remuneration. If the Shareholders do not appoint Davidson & Company LLP, Davidson & Company LLP will continue to hold office until a successor auditor is appointed.

Certain minimal non-audit services may be approved by the Chair of the Audit Committee on behalf of the committee in accordance with the requirements of NI 52-110. All other non-audit services must be approved by the Audit Committee as a whole.

Vireo is a “venture issuer” as defined in NI 52-110 and is relying on the exemptions in Section 6.1 of NI 52-110 relating to Parts 3 ( Composition of the Audit Committee) and 5 (Reporting Obligations). Audit Committee Oversight At no time since the commencement of Vireo’s most recently completed financial year was a recommendation of the Audit Committee to nominate or compensate an external auditor not adopted by
