 the discretion of the Board or the Chair of the Meeting, who is under no obligation to accept or reject any late proxy. Shareholders may also revoke their proxy in any other manner permitted by the CBCA. What if amendments are made to these proposals or if other matters are brought before the Meeting? The proxy card also gives discretionary authority to proxyholders to vote as the proxyholders see fit with respect to amendments or variations to proposals identified in the Notice of Meeting or other matters that may come before the Meeting whether or not the amendment, variation or other matter that comes before the Meeting is or is not routine and whether or not the amendment, variation or other matter that comes before the Meeting is contested. As of the date of this Proxy Statement, the Board is not aware of any such amendments, variations or other matters to come before the Meeting. However, if any such changes that are not currently known to the Board should properly come before the Meeting, the B+L Common Shares represented by your proxyholders will be voted in accordance with the best judgment of the proxyholders, and in accordance with the rules of the SEC. Who is soliciting my proxy? Management of the Company is soliciting your proxy for use at the Meeting. All associated costs of solicitation will be borne by the Company, including the preparation, assembly, internet hosting, maintaining a dedicated call line and printing and mailing the Notice of Meeting, form of proxy card, and the management proxy circular and proxy statement. It is expected that the solicitation will be primarily by mail, but proxies may also be solicited personally, by advertisement, by telephone, internet, telegraph, courier service, telecopies or other electronic means by directors, officers or employees of the Company without special compensation. The Company will pay those entities holding B+L Common Shares in the names of their beneficial owners, such as brokers, nominees, fiduciaries and other custodians, for their reasonable fees and expenses in forwarding solicitation materials to their beneficial owners and for obtaining their instructions. We anticipate that the notice of proxy materials, proxy card and Proxy Statement (if requested) will be distributed to shareholders on or about April 10, 2025. We intend to pay for an intermediary to deliver to objecting beneficial shareholders the proxy-related materials and voting instruction form.
