.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and applicable corporate and securities laws in Canada, and that is designed to assist you in voting your Common Shares in the capital of the Company (“Common Shares”). We will bear the costs of soliciting proxies from our shareholders. In addition to soliciting proxies by mail, our directors, officers, and employees, without receiving additional compensation, may solicit proxies by telephone, in person or in any other manner permitted by applicable laws. We may also engage the services of a professional proxy solicitation firm to aid in the solicitation of proxies from certain brokers, bank nominees and other institutional owners. Our costs for such services, if retained, will not be material. Under the SEC rules and applicable Canadian securities laws that allow companies to furnish proxy materials to shareholders over the Internet, we have elected to deliver our proxy materials (defined below) to the majority of our shareholders over the Internet. This delivery process allows us to provide shareholders with the information they need electronically, which is more environmentally friendly and reduces our costs to print and distribute these materials. On or about April 4, 2025, we will mail to our shareholders a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the “proxy notice”) containing instructions on how to access this Proxy Statement for the Meeting and our 2024 Annual Report to Shareholders (which includes our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, which was filed with the SEC and the securities commissions or similar regulatory authorities in Canada on February 13, 2025) (referred to collectively as the “proxy materials”). The proxy notice will also provide instructions on how to vote online or by telephone and will include instructions on how to receive a paper copy of the proxy materials by mail. On or about April 4, 2025, we will also commence mailing this Proxy Statement and a proxy card to certain shareholders. We are permitted under applicable securities laws to deliver a single proxy notice to one address shared by two or more United States shareholders. This delivery method is referred to as “householding” and helps reduce our printing costs and postage fees. Under this procedure, we deliver a single package containing proxy notices to multiple United States shareholders who share an address. If you do not wish to participate in householding in the future and prefer to receive separate proxy notices, please contact: Broadridge Financial Solutions, Attention: Householding Department, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, NY 11717, telephone 1-800-542-
