#### PROPOSAL NO. 1 - ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
The Articles of the Company provide that it will have a minimum of one and a maximum of 10 directors, and permit the directors to appoint one or more additional directors provided that the total number of directors so appointed does not exceed one-third of the number of directors elected at the previous annual meeting of shareholders (rounded down to the nearest whole number). As an offering company, the Company must appoint a minimum of three directors. The Board is currently set at four members.

On March 4, 2025, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and board member, Patricia Trompeter, passed away peacefully after a courageous battle with cancer. Due to the passing of Ms. Trompeter, there is a vacancy on the Board.

It is proposed that the persons named below will be nominated at the Meeting. Each director elected will hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders or until his or her successor is duly elected or appointed pursuant to the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the “ OBCA ”) and the constating documents of the Company, unless his or her office is earlier vacated. Management does not contemplate that any of such nominees will be unable to serve as directors; however, if for any reason any of the proposed nominees does not stand for election or is unable to serve as such, proxies in favor of management designees will be voted for another nominee in their discretion unless the shareholder has specified in his or her proxy that his or her shares are to be withheld from voting in the election of directors.

The names of persons proposed to be nominated by management for election as a director; their age, all positions and offices with the Company held by them; their principal occupation for the last five years; the periods during which they have served as a director; and the number of shares beneficially owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by them or over which control or direction is exercised, as of the Record Date and other information about them is set forth below.
