mediary who holds its customer’s Vireo Shares in street name submits proxies for such Vireo Shares but indicates that it does not have authority to vote on a particular matter. Generally, this occurs when Intermediaries have not received any instructions from their customers. Without specific instructions, Canadian Intermediaries are prohibited from voting their customers’ Vireo Shares. Without specific instructions, U.S. Intermediaries, as the holders of record, are permitted to vote their customers’ Vireo Shares on “routine” matters only, but not on other matters. Who will count the votes? A representative of Broadridge will act as scrutineer at the Meeting and will count the votes. Will my vote be kept confidential? Yes. As a matter of policy, Shareholder proxies, ballots and tabulations that identify individual Shareholders are kept confidential. Who pays to prepare, mail and solicit the proxies? The solicitation of proxies will be primarily by mail, but proxies may be solicited personally or by telephone, email, internet, facsimile transmission or other electronic or other means of communication by directors, officers, and regular employees of Vireo. Vireo will bear all costs of this solicitation. We have arranged for Intermediaries to forward the Meeting materials to Non-Registered Shareholders and we may reimburse the Intermediaries for their reasonable fees and disbursements in that regard. How will my Vireo Shares be voted if I vote by proxy but do not indicate instructions for how to vote? If you properly submit a proxy without indicating your instructions for how your shares should be voted, your shares represented by such proxy will be voted “ FOR” the five director nominees proposed by management and “ FOR” the appointment of Davidson & Company LLP as the auditors of Vireo for the ensuing year and to authorize the Board to fix their remuneration. Do shareholders of Vireo have cumulative voting rights? Shareholders have no cumulative voting rights. What if other matters come up during the Meeting? If any matters other than those referred to in the Notice of Meeting properly come before the Meeting, the individuals named as proxies will vote the shares for which they have been appointed as proxies in accordance with their best judgment. As of the date of this Circular, Vireo is not aware of any business other than the items referred to in the Notice of Meeting that will be considered at the Meeting. How do I contact the Secretary of Vireo? In several sections of this Circular, we suggest that you should
