| The Audit and Risk Committee recommended to the Board that PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) be put before the shareholders at the Meeting for appointment as our auditor to serve until the close of the 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. The Board has accepted and endorsed this recommendation.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               |
| Under the CBCA, at each annual meeting of shareholders, shareholders of a corporation appoint, by ordinary resolution, an auditor to hold office until the close of the next annual meeting of shareholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an auditor is not appointed at a meeting of shareholders, the incumbent auditor continues in office until a successor is appointed. PwC currently serves as auditor of the Company and, therefore, shall continue to serve as the Company’s auditor in the event that this proposal is not adopted by the shareholders. |
| Representatives of PwC will be present at the Meeting and will have an opportunity to make a statement if desired. Further, the representatives will be available to respond to appropriate shareholder questions submitted in the manner described under “Attending the Meeting — How do I ask a question at the Meeting?” on page74.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 |
| A simple majority of votes cast at the Meeting, whether virtually, or by proxy or otherwise, will be required to appoint PwC. You may either vote “For” the appointment of PwC or “Withhold” your vote with respect to such appointment. If you vote “For” the appointment of PwC, your B+L Common Shares will be voted accordingly. If you select “Withhold” with respect to the appointment of PwC, your vote will not be counted as a vote cast for the purposes of appointing PwC.                                                                                 |
| As a shareholder of the Company, you are invited to vote with respect to the appointment of PwC as the auditor for the Company to hold office until the close of the 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and to authorize the Board to fix the auditor’s remuneration through the following resolution:                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                
 Resolved, that the shareholders hereby appoint PwC as auditor for the Company to hold office until the close of the 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and the Board of the Company is hereby authorized to fix the auditor’s remuneration.
