 ALAMOS GOLD INC. 

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR 

(This information is given as at April 1, 2016, unless otherwise indicated) 

SOLICITATION OF PROXIES 
 This Management
Information Circular (the “Circular”) is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the management of Alamos Gold Inc. (the “Company” or “Alamos”) for use at the Annual and Special
General Meeting of the Shareholders of the Company (the “Meeting”) (and at any adjournment thereof) to be held at 10:00 a.m., Toronto Time, on May 13, 2016 at the TMX Broadcast Centre, 130 King Street West, Toronto, Ontario.

 The Company will bear the expense of this solicitation. It is expected the solicitation will be made primarily by mail, but regular
employees or representatives of the Company (none of whom shall receive any extra compensation for these activities) may also solicit by telephone, facsimile and in person and arrange for intermediaries to send this Circular and the form of proxy to
their principals at the expense of the Company. 
 The contents and the sending of this Circular have been approved by the Board of
Directors of the Company (the “Board”). 
 All dollar amounts referenced in this Circular are in United States Dollars,
unless otherwise specified. The exchange rate as at December 31, 2015 was Cdn$1.00 = US$0.722. 
 RECORD DATE 

The directors of the Company have set the close of business on March 30, 2016 as the record date (the “Record
Date”) for determining which shareholders shall be entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Meeting. Only shareholders of record as of the Record Date shall be entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Meeting, unless
after the Record Date a shareholder transfers his or her common shares and the transferee (the “Transferee”), upon establishing that the Transferee owns such common shares, requests in writing, at least 10 days prior to the Meeting
or any adjournments thereof, that the Transferee may have his or her name included on the list of shareholders entitled to vote at the Meeting, in which case the Transferee is entitled to vote such shares at the Meeting. Such written request by the
Transferee shall be sent to the Company’s Vice President, General Counsel at the following address: Brookfield Place, 181 Bay Street, Suite 3910, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5J 2T3. 

APPOINTMENT AND REVOCATION OF PROXIES 

The persons named in the accompanying form of proxy are designated as proxy holders by management of the Company. A SHAREHOLDER WISHING TO
APPOINT SOME OTHER PERSON (WHO NEED NOT BE A SHAREHOLDER) TO REPRESENT HIM OR HER AT THE MEETING MAY DO SO either by inserting such person’s name in the blank space provided in the accompanying form of proxy or by completing another proper
form of proxy and, in either case, delivering the completed proxy to Computershare Investor Services Inc., 9th Floor, 100 University Avenue, Toronto, Ontario, M5J 2Y1, not less than 48 hours
(excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) prior to the time of the Meeting unless the Chairman of the Meeting elects to exercise his discretion to accept proxies received subsequently. Telephone voting can be completed at 1-866-732-vote
(1-866-732-8683) and Internet voting can be completed at www.investorvote.com. 







 PROVISIONS RELATING TO VOTING OF PROXIES 

The shares represented by proxy will be voted or withheld from voting by the designated proxy holder in accordance with the instructions of the
shareholder appointing him or her on any ballot that may be called for and, if the shareholder specifies a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, the shares will be voted accordingly. If there are no instructions provided by the
shareholder, those shares will be voted in favour of all proposals set out in this Circular. The proxy gives the person named in it the discretion to vote as they see fit on any amendments or variations to matters identified in the Notice of
Meeting, or any other matters which may properly come before the Meeting. At the time of printing of this Circular, the management of the Company knows of no other matters which may come before the Meeting other than those referred to in the notice
of meeting. 
 REVOCATION OF PROXIES 

Any registered shareholder who has returned a proxy may revoke it at any time before it has been exercised. In addition to revocation in any
other manner permitted by law, a proxy may be revoked by instrument in writing, including a proxy bearing a later date, executed by the registered shareholder or by an attorney authorized in writing or, if the registered shareholder is a
corporation, under its corporate seal or by an officer or attorney thereof duly authorized. 
 The instrument revoking the proxy must be
deposited at (i) the registered office of the Company, Brookfield Place, 181 Bay Street, Suite 3910, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5J 2T3, at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the date of the Meeting or any adjournment
thereof duly authorized; or (ii) provided at the Meeting to the Chairman of the Meeting. Only registered shareholders have the right to revoke a proxy. Non-registered shareholders who wish to change their
vote must, at least seven (7) days before the Meeting, arrange for their respective intermediaries to revoke the proxy on their behalf. 
 ADVICE TO
BENEFICIAL SHAREHOLDERS OF COMMON SHARES 
 The information set forth in this section is of significant importance to many shareholders
as a substantial number of shareholders do not hold common shares in their own names. Shareholders who do not hold their shares in their own name (“Beneficial Shareholders”) should note that only proxies deposited by shareholders
whose names appear on the records of the Company as the registered holders of common shares can be recognized and acted upon at the Meeting. If common shares are listed in an account statement provided to a shareholder by a broker, then in almost
all cases those common shares will not be registered in the shareholder’s name on the records of the Company. Such common shares will more likely be registered under the name of the shareholder’s broker or an agent of that broker. In
Canada, the vast majority of such common shares are registered under the name of CDS & Co (the registration name for The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited, which acts as nominee for many Canadian brokerage firms). Common shares
held by brokers or their agents or nominees can only be voted (for or against resolutions) upon the instructions of the Beneficial Shareholders. Therefore, Beneficial Shareholders should ensure that instructions respecting the voting of their common
shares are communicated to the appropriate person well in advance of the Meeting. 
 Applicable regulatory policies require
intermediaries/brokers to seek voting instructions from Beneficial Shareholders in advance of shareholders’ meetings. Every intermediary/broker has its own mailing procedures and provides its own return instructions to clients, which should be
carefully followed by Beneficial Shareholders in order to ensure that their common shares are voted at the Meeting. The form of proxy supplied to a Beneficial Shareholder by its broker (or the agent of the broker) is similar to the form of proxy


  
  

					
		  	 	2 | ALAMOS GOLD INC.	  









 
provided to registered shareholders by the Company. However, its purpose is limited to instructing the registered shareholder (the broker or agent of the broker) how to vote on behalf of the
Beneficial Shareholder. The majority of brokers now delegate responsibility for obtaining instructions from clients to Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”) in Canada. Broadridge typically applies a special sticker to
proxy forms, mails those forms to the Beneficial Shareholders, and asks Beneficial Shareholders to return the proxy forms to Broadridge. Broadridge then tabulates the results of all instructions received and provides appropriate instructions
respecting the voting of shares to be presented at the Meeting. A Beneficial Shareholder receiving a proxy with a Broadridge sticker on it cannot use that proxy to vote common shares directly at the Meeting. The proxy must be returned to Broadridge
well in advance of the Meeting in order to have the common shares voted. 
 Although a Beneficial Shareholder may not be recognized directly
at the Meeting for the purposes of voting common shares registered in the name of the Beneficial Shareholder broker (or agent of the broker), a Beneficial Shareholder may attend at the Meeting as proxy holder for the registered shareholder and vote
the common shares in that capacity. Beneficial Shareholders who wish to attend at the Meeting and indirectly vote their common shares as proxy holder for the registered shareholder should enter their own names in the blank space on the instrument of
proxy provided to them and return the same to their broker (or the broker’s agent) in accordance with the instructions provided by such broker (or agent), well in advance of the Meeting. Alternatively, a Beneficial Shareholder may request in
writing that their broker send to the Beneficial Shareholder a legal proxy which would enable the Beneficial Shareholder to attend at the Meeting and vote their common shares. 

In addition, Canadian securities legislation permits the Company to forward notice and voting instruction form directly to “Non-Objecting Beneficial Shareholders”. If the Company or its agent has sent these materials directly to you (instead of through a nominee), your name, address and information about your holding of
securities has been obtained in accordance with applicable securities regulatory requirements from the nominee holding on your behalf. By choosing to send these materials to you directly, the Company (and not the nominee holding on your behalf) has
assumed responsibility for (i) delivering materials to you; and (ii) executing your proper voting instructions. 
 NOTICE-AND-ACCESS 
 This year the Company is using the “notice-and-access” system adopted by the Canadian Securities Administrators for the delivery of the Circular and 2015 annual report to both beneficial and
registered shareholders, which includes the Company’s management’s discussion and analysis and annual audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 (collectively, the “Meeting
Materials”). Under notice-and-access, you will still receive a proxy or voting instruction form enabling you to vote at the Meeting. However, instead of a paper
copy of the Circular, you receive this notice which contains information about how to access the Meeting Materials electronically. The principal benefit of the
notice-and-access system is that it reduces the environmental impact of producing and distributing paper copies of documents in large quantities. 

The Circular and form of proxy (or voting instruction form, as applicable) provide additional information concerning the matters to be dealt
with at the Meeting. You should access and review all information contained in the Circular before voting.

 Websites Where Meeting Materials are posted 

Our Meeting Materials can be viewed online on our website at www.alamosgold.com, under our profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com, or
at www.envisionreports.com/ALAMOSGOLD2016. 
 BENEFICIAL AND REGISTERED SHAREHOLDERS 

If you would like paper copies of the Meeting Materials, you should first determine whether you are (i) a beneficial holder of the Common
Shares, as are most of our shareholders, or (ii) a registered shareholder. 
  

	•	 	 You are a beneficial shareholder (also known as a non-registered
shareholder) if you beneficially own Common Shares that are held in the name of an intermediary such as a depository, bank, trust company, securities broker, trustee, clearing agency (such as CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. or
“CDS”) or other intermediary. For example, you are a non-registered shareholder if your Common Shares are held in a brokerage account of any type. 



 

	•	 	 You are a registered shareholder if you hold a paper share certificate and your name appears directly on your
share certificate. 


 HOW TO OBTAIN PAPER COPIES OF THE MEETING MATERIALS 

Beneficial shareholders may request that paper copies of the Meeting Materials be mailed to them at no cost. Requests may be made up to one
year from the date that the Circular was filed on SEDAR by going to www.proxyvote.com and entering the 16-digit control number located on your voting instruction form and following the instructions
provided. Alternatively, you may submit a request by calling 1-877-907-7643. Requests should be received by May 3, 2016
(i.e., at least seven business days in advance of the date and time set out in your voting instruction form as a voting deadline) if you would like to receive the Meeting Materials in advance of the voting deadline and Meeting date. 

If you hold a paper share certificate and your name appears directly on your share certificate, you are a registered shareholder and you may
request that paper copies of the Meeting Materials be mailed to you at no cost by calling 1-866-962-0498. If you are a Non-Objecting Beneficial Owner you may also request that paper copies of the Meeting Materials be mailed to you at no cost by calling 1-866-962-0498. Requests should be received by May 3, 2016 (i.e., at least seven business days in advance of the date and time set out in your proxy form as a voting deadline). Requests by
registered shareholders may be made up to one year from the date that the Circular was filed on SEDAR by calling the Assistant Corporate Secretary of the Company at 1-866-788-8801. 
 VOTING SHARES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS THEREOF 

The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of common shares without par value. On April 1, 2016, 263,420,166 common shares
were issued and outstanding, each share carrying the right to one vote. On any poll, the persons named in the enclosed proxy will vote the shares in respect of which they are appointed. Where instructions are given by the shareholder in respect of
voting for or against any resolution, the proxy holders will do so in accordance with such instructions. Only shareholders of record on the close of business on March 30, 2016, who either personally attend the Meeting or who complete and
deliver a proxy in the manner and subject to the provisions set out under the headings “Record Date” and “Appointment and Revocation of Proxies” will be entitled to have his or her shares voted at the Meeting or any adjournment
thereof.

Circular, there are no persons or companies beneficially owning or controlling or directing, directly or indirectly, shares carrying 10% or more of the voting rights attached to all outstanding shares of the Company, except as follows:

Inc. (which will be referred to “Former Alamos” prior to July 2, 2015) or AuRico Gold Inc. (“AuRico”) upon the amalgamation in July, 2015 and have served on the Board since that time. Each of the nominated

 The information as to province of residence and principal occupation has been furnished by the respective
directors individually, and the information as to shares beneficially owned or over which a director exercises control or direction, not being within the knowledge of the Company, has been furnished by the respective directors individually as at

 Our Policy on Majority Voting 

The Board believes that each of its members should carry the confidence and support of its shareholders. To this end, the Board has unanimously
adopted a Majority Voting Policy. If, at any meeting for the election of directors, a director receives more “withheld” votes than “for” votes, the director must promptly tender his resignation to the Board, to take effect on
acceptance by the Board. The Board will promptly accept the resignation unless the Corporate Governance Committee of the Company determines that there are extraordinary circumstances relating to the composition of the Board or the voting results
that should delay the acceptance of the resignation or justify rejecting it. Within 90 days of the relevant shareholders’ meeting, the Board will make a final decision and announce such decision, including any reasons for not accepting a
resignation, by way of press release. If the Board accepts the offer, it may appoint a new director to fill the vacancy. Any director who tenders his or her resignation will not participate in the deliberations of the Corporate Governance Committee
or the Board regarding such matter. In the event any director fails to tender his or her resignation in accordance with this policy, the Board will not re-nominate such director.

executive officer or chief financial officer; or (2) was subject to a cease trade order, an order similar to a cease trade order or an order that denied the relevant company access to any
exemption under securities legislation, for a period of more than 30 consecutive days, that was issued after the proposed director ceased to be a director, chief executive officer or chief financial officer and which resulted from an event that
occurred while that person was acting in the capacity as director, chief executive officer or chief financial officer. 
 Except as
described below, no proposed director of the Company (a) is, as at the date of this Circular, or has been within the 10 years before the date of this Circular, a director or executive officer of any company (including the Company) that, while
that person was acting in that capacity, or within a year of that person ceasing to act in that capacity, became bankrupt, made a proposal under any legislation relating to bankruptcy or insolvency or was subject to or instituted any proceedings,
arrangement or compromise with creditors or had a receiver, receiver manager or trustee appointed to hold its assets; or (b) has, within the 10 years before the date of this Circular, become bankrupt, made a proposal under any legislation
relating to bankruptcy or insolvency, or become subject to or instituted any proceedings, arrangement or compromise with creditors, or had a receiver, receiver manager or trustee appointed to hold the assets of the proposed director. 

In October 2013, Fire River Gold Inc. entered into a compromise with its creditors after defaulting on its lending facility. Mr. Kenneth
Stowe had ceased to be a director of that company in March of 2013. 
 No proposed director of the Company has been subject to: (a) any
penalties or sanctions imposed by a court relating to securities legislation or by a securities regulatory authority or has entered into a settlement agreement with a securities regulatory authority; or (b) any other penalties or sanctions

Upon
the completion of the business combination of AuRico and Former Alamos, the Board of Directors of Alamos approved the amendment and restatement of the LTI Plan. The amendment and restatement of the LTI Plan at


  
  

					
		  	 	12 | ALAMOS GOLD INC.	  









 
the time did not require shareholder approval in accordance with its amending provisions, and was intended to reflect clerical changes resulting from the amalgamation of AuRico and Former Alamos.
As described below, the Company recently made certain other changes to the vesting and termination provisions of the LTI Plan in accordance with corporate governance best practices, certain clarifications to ensure compliance under applicable law
and other clerical and housekeeping changes, which were approved by the Board on March 22, 2016. These amendments do not require shareholder approval pursuant to the amending provisions of the LTI Plan. Upon obtaining Shareholder approval, the
Company’s only compensation plans providing for the issuance of securities will be the LTI Plan and the Company’s Employee Share Purchase Plan (“ESPP”). 

The LTI Plan provides for awards of stock options (“Options”), performance share units (“PSUs”), restricted
share units (“RSUs”) and deferred share units (“DSUs” and, together with the PSUs and RSUs, the “Unit Awards”). 

The following table summarizes the key features of the LTI Plan and proposed amendments thereto. A copy of the LTI Plan can be requested from
the Assistant Corporate Secretary at notice@alamosgold.com or 416-368-9932. 
  

			
	Eligible Participants	  	 For all Unit Awards, any director, officer, employee or consultant of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company. For
Options, any officer, employee or consultant of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company. For greater certainty, the Company does not grant Options to non-executive directors.

		
	Types of Awards	  	 Options, PSUs, RSUs and DSUs.

		
	Number of Securities
Issued and Issuable	  	 The aggregate number of Common Shares to be reserved and set aside for issue upon the exercise or redemption and
settlement for all awards granted under the LTI Plan, together with all other security-based compensation arrangements of the Company (other than the Company’s legacy stock option plan), shall not exceed 6.5% of the issued and outstanding
Common Shares at the time of granting the award (on a non-diluted basis). In respect of PSUs, the maximum number of Common Shares issuable under the PSU shall be included in the calculation for such purposes.
As of April 1, 2016, 452,097 Common Shares have been issued upon the exercise or settlement of awards under the LTI Plan, representing approximately 0.17% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares as of that date. As of April 1, 2016,
7,917,524 Common Shares are issuable upon the exercise or settlement of awards outstanding under the LTI Plan, representing approximately 3.0% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares as of that date.

		
	Plan Limits	  	 When combined with all of the Company’s other previously established security-based compensation arrangements, the
LTI Plan shall not result in:
  

•     a number of Common Shares issued to insiders within a one-year period exceeding 10% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares;
  

•     a number of Common Shares issuable to insiders at any time
exceeding 10% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares; and
  

•     a number of Shares (i) issuable to all non-executive directors of the Company exceeding 1% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares at such time, or (ii) issuable to any one non-executive director within a one-year period exceeding an award value of $150,000 (amended from $100,000 as of March 22, 2016) per such non-executive director; provided that DSUs granted in lieu of
director fees payable on account of a director’s service as a member of the Board shall be excluded for purposes of the above-noted limits. These non-executive director limits were amended, subject to
Shareholder approval, to conform with current corporate governance guidelines.

	Definition of Market Price	  	 “Market Price” means the volume-weighted average trading price of the Common Shares for the
five trading days immediately preceding the applicable date as reported by the Toronto Stock Exchange.

		
	Assignability	  	 An award may not be assigned, transferred, charged, pledged or otherwise alienated, other than to a
participant’s permitted assigns or personal representatives.

		
	Amending Procedures	  	 The Board may, without Shareholder approval, amend, suspend, terminate or discontinue the LTI Plan or may
amend the terms and conditions of any awards granted thereunder, provided that no amendment may materially and adversely affect any outstanding award without the consent of the applicable participant. By way of example, amendments that do not
require Shareholder approval and that are within the authority of the Board include but are not limited to:
  

•     Amendments of a “housekeeping nature”;

 

•     Any amendment for the purpose of curing any ambiguity, error or
omission in the LTI Plan or to correct or supplement any provision of the LTI Plan that is inconsistent with any other provision of the LTI Plan;
  

•     An amendment which is necessary to comply with applicable law or
the requirements of any stock exchange on which the Common Shares are listed;
  

•     Amendments respecting administration and eligibility for
participation under the LTI Plan;
  

•     Any amendment to the vesting provisions of the LTI Plan or any
award thereunder; and
  

•     Changes to the termination provisions of an award or the LTI Plan
which do not entail an extension beyond the original fixed term.
  

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Shareholder approval shall be required for the following amendments:

 

•     Reducingthe exercise price of Options, or canceling and reissuing
any Options so as to in effect reduce the exercise price;
  

•     Extending (i) the term of an Option beyond its original
expiry date, or (ii) the date on which a Unit Award will be forfeited or terminated in accordance with its terms, other than in circumstances involving a blackout period;

 

•     Increasing the fixed maximum percentage of Common Shares reserved
for issuance under the LTI Plan (including a change from a fixed maximum percentage of Common Shares to a fixed maximum number of Common Shares);
  

•     Revising insider participation limits or the non-executive director limits;
  

•     Revising the restriction on assignment provision to permit Options
and Unit Awards to be transferable or assignable other than for estate settlement purposes;
  

•     Amending the definition of “Eligible Person” that may
permit the introduction or reintroduction of non-executive directors on a discretionary basis; and
  

•     Revising the amending provisions.

	Financial Assistance	  	 The Company will not provide financial assistance to participants under the LTI Plan.

		
	Other	  	 In the event of a change in control, the Board shall have the right, but not the obligation, to permit each
participant to exercise all of the participant’s outstanding Options and to settle all of the participant’s outstanding Unit Awards (to the extent vested), subject to completion of the change in control, and has the discretion to
accelerate vesting.
  
 The LTI Plan further provides that if
the expiry date or vesting date of Options is (i) during a blackout period, or (ii) within ten trading days following the end of a blackout period, the expiry date or vesting date, as applicable, will be automatically extended for a period
of ten trading days following the end of the blackout period. In the case of Unit Awards, any settlement that is effected during a blackout period shall be in the form of a cash payment.

	
	Description of Awards

	 B. RSUs and PSUs

		
	 RSU and PSU Terms
	  	 RSUs and PSUs are notional securities that entitle the recipient to receive cash or Common Shares at the end of
a vesting period. Vesting of PSUs is contingent upon achieving certain performance criteria, thus ensuring greater alignment with the long-term interests of shareholders. The terms applicable to RSUs and PSUs under the LTI Plan (including the
vesting schedule, performance cycle, performance criteria for vesting and whether dividend equivalents will be credited to a participant’s account) are determined by the Board at the time of the grant.

		
	 Vesting
	  	 Unless otherwise provided, RSUs and PSUs typically vest on November 30 (amended from December 31 as
of March 22, 2016) of the third calendar year following the year in which the RSU or PSU was granted, subject to any performance criteria having been satisfied.

		
	 Settlement
	  	 On settlement, the Company shall, for each vested RSU or PSU being settled, deliver to a participant a cash
payment equal to the Market Price of one Common Share as of the vesting date, one Common Share, or any combination of cash and Common Shares equal to the Market Price of one Common Share as of the vesting date, at the discretion of the

 Shareholder and Regulatory Approval 

In accordance with the rules of the TSX, the amendments to the non-executive director limits under the
LTI Plan and all unallocated Options and Unit Awards under the LTI Plan must be approved by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders. 
 Incentive
Plan Resolution 
 Shareholders will be asked to consider, and if deemed advisable, approve the Incentive Plan Resolution. 

The Incentive Plan Resolution must be passed by a majority of the votes cast thereon by Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy
at the Meeting. The full text of the Incentive Plan Resolution approving the LTI Plan is as follows: 
 “BE IT RESOLVED AS AN ORDINARY RESOLUTION OF
THE SHAREHOLDERS THAT: 
  

	 	1.	 The amendments to the annual non-executive director limits of the
Long Term Incentive Plan (“LTI Plan”) of the Company from $100,000 to $150,000, as described in the Company’s Management Proxy Circular for the Annual and Special Meeting of the Company on May 13, 2016, is hereby approved;



  

	 	2.	 The unallocated Options and Unit Awards under the LTI Plan be and are hereby approved;



  

	 	3.	 The Company has the ability to continue granting Options and Unit Awards under the LTI Plan until
May 13, 2019, which is the date that is three years from the date of the shareholder meeting at which this approval is being sought; 


  

	 	4.	 The form of the LTI Plan may be amended in order to satisfy the requirements or requests of any regulatory
authority or stock exchange without requiring further approval of the Shareholders; 


  

	 	5.	 That any one of the officers or directors of the Company be and is hereby authorized to perform all such
acts and execute and deliver on behalf of the Company all such other documents and agreements which, in his or her opinion, is deemed to be necessary and in the best interest of the Company, in order to give effect to the foregoing resolution.”



 If the unallocated awards under the LTI Plan are not approved by Shareholders, the Company will not be permitted to
grant Options or Unit Awards under the LTI Plan until Shareholder approval for such awards is obtained. However, all allocated awards under the LTI Plan will continue unaffected. 

The Board has determined that the LTI Plan is in the best interests of the Shareholders and unanimously recommends that Shareholders
vote FOR the Incentive Plan Resolution. 
 Unless instructed otherwise, the persons named in the accompanying proxy intend to
vote FOR the approval of the LTI Plan.

	5.	 Approval of Amended and Restated Shareholder Rights Plans 



At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to approve both the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Shareholder Rights Plan and Third
Amended and Restated Shareholder Rights Plan. Upon the completion of the business combination of AuRico and Former Alamos, the board of directors of Alamos approved the Amendment and Restatement (the “Second Amended and Restated Shareholder
Rights Plan”) of the previously Amended and Restated shareholders rights plan agreement dated May 13, 2013 between AuRico and Computershare Investor Services Inc. (“Rights Plan”). The amendment and restatement of the
Rights Plan at that time did not require shareholder approval in accordance with its terms, and was simply intended to reflect clerical changes resulting from the amalgamation of AuRico and Former Alamos. However, the terms of the Second Amended and
Restated Shareholder Rights Plan require subsequent approval by Shareholders at the Meeting in order to remain in force. In addition, subsequent to approving the Second Amended and Restated Shareholder Rights Plan, the Board approved changes (as
described below under “Alamos’ Rights Plan”) to the Second Amended and Restated Shareholders Rights Plan to align the plan with anticipated changes to the applicable take-over bid rules that were announced on February 25,
2016 and that are expected to come into force on May 9, 2016. Pursuant to the terms of the Second Amended and Restated Shareholders Rights Plan, prior approval of the Shareholders is required in order to amend the plan. Therefore, Shareholders
are being asked to approve the Second Amended and Restated Shareholder Rights Plan and, upon approval of the Second Amended and Restated Shareholder Rights Plan, Shareholders are also being asked to approve the Third Amended and Restated Shareholder
Rights Plan. 
 The 2016 Rights Plan (as defined below) is not being adopted in response to or in anticipation of any pending or
threatened take-over bid. 
 Rights Plan Fundamentals 

A rights plan is a common mechanism used by public companies to encourage the fair and equal treatment of all shareholders in the face of a
take-over initiative. 
 Under a rights plan, rights to purchase common shares are issued to all shareholders. Initially, the rights are not
exercisable. However, if a person or group proceeds with a take-over bid for 20% or more of the target company’s shares that does not meet the “permitted bid” criteria contained in the plan and the rights plan is triggered, the rights
(other than those owned by the person or group making the bid) become exercisable for shares at half the market price at the time of exercise, causing substantial dilution and making the take-over bid uneconomical. 

Alamos’ Rights Plan 
 The
Board has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company to continue the rights plan, and has approved both the Second Amended and Restated Shareholder Rights Plan and a third amended and restated shareholder protection rights plan
(referred to as the “2016 Rights Plan” or the “Third Amended and Restated Shareholder Rights Plan”, and together with the Second Amended and Restated Shareholder Rights Plan, the “Plans”) to be
presented to Shareholders for approval at the Meeting. A summary of the terms and conditions of the 2016 Rights Plan is set out in Schedule “A” to this Circular and the text of the Shareholders’ resolution to approve the Plans (the
“Rights Plan Resolution”) is set out below. A copy of the Second Amended and Restated Shareholder Rights Plan can be requested from the General Counsel of Alamos by emailing notice@alamosgold.com and is posted under
our SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com. 
 The Company has reviewed the 2016 Rights Plan for conformity with current practices of other Canadian
companies. The Company believes that the 2016 Rights Plan preserves the fair treatment of Shareholders, and 

  
  

					
		  	 	21 | ALAMOS GOLD INC.	  









 
is consistent with current best Canadian corporate practice and addresses institutional investor guidelines as of the date of this Circular. The Plans are substantially similar to the 2010 Plan
approved AuRico Shareholders, and approved again in 2013, and thereafter adopted by the Board of Alamos upon the amalgamation of AuRico and Former Alamos. The 2016 Rights Plan generally contains the same terms and conditions as the prior plans
except for the changes in response to the TOB Amendments (as described below). 
 The Canadian Securities Administrators announced on
February 25, 2016 certain amendments to Canada’s take-over bid regime (the “TOB Amendments”) that will require that all non-exempt take-over bids: 

 

	 	•	 	 meet a minimum tender requirement where bidders must receive tenders of more than 50% of the outstanding
securities that are subject to the bid and held by disinterested shareholders; 


  

	 	•	 	 remain open for a minimum deposit period of 105 days, unless the target board states in a news release an
acceptable shorter deposit period of not less than 35 days, or the target board states in a news release that it has agreed to enter into a specific alternative transaction (such as a plan of arrangement) in which case the 35 day period would apply
to all concurrent take-over bids; and 


  

	 	•	 	 be extended for an additional 10 days after the minimum tender requirement is met and all other terms and
conditions of the bid are satisfied or waived. 


 Under the previous regime,
non-exempt take-over bids were only required to remain open for 35 days and were not subject to any minimum tender requirement or an extension requirement once the bidder had taken up deposited securities. The
TOB Amendments are expected to take effect on May 9, 2016. 
 As a result of the TOB Amendments, a number of the initial purposes of
the 2016 Rights Plan are no longer relevant as many of the protective features of Canadian shareholder rights plans have been adopted as part of the TOB Amendments. However, although the TOB Amendments include many of the protections provided by the
2016 Rights Plan, the TOB Amendments do not address the risk of a “creeping take-over bid”. Under Canadian securities laws, a bidder can gain control or effective control of the Company without paying full value, without obtaining
Shareholder approval and without treating all of the Shareholders equally. For example, a bidder could acquire blocks of shares by private agreement from one or a small group of Shareholders at a premium to market price which is not shared with the
other Shareholders. In addition, a person could slowly accumulate shares through stock exchange acquisitions which may result, over time, in an acquisition of control or effective control without paying a control premium or without sharing of any
control premium among all Shareholders fairly. These are generally known as “creeping take-over bids”. As a result, the Board has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company to maintain the 2016 Rights Plan under which, in
order to meet the permitted bid criteria, any person or group offering to acquire 20% or more of the Company’s shares must make the offer to all Shareholders on the books of the Company. 

In response to these anticipated changes, the Board has approved proposed changes to the Second Amended and Restated Shareholders Rights Plan
which amend the permitted bid and competing bid definitions to (i) include a 105-day permitted bid period (rather than the usual 60 days) until the implementation of the new rules, and (ii) require
compliance with the new rules set forth in National Instrument 62-104 Take-Over Bids and Issuer Bids following implementation of the new rules. 

The 2016 Rights Plan does not reduce the duty of the Board to act honestly, in good faith and in the best interests of the Company, and to act
on that basis if any offer is made. 
 The 2016 Rights Plan is not intended to and will not entrench the Board. The 2016 Rights Plan does
not interfere with the legal rights of Shareholders to change the Board through proxy voting mechanisms, it does not create dilution unless the 2016 Rights Plan is triggered and it does not change the way in which Common Shares trade. 

  
  

					
		  	 	22 | ALAMOS GOLD INC.	  









 The objectives of the 2016 Rights Plan are to encourage the fair treatment of all Shareholders in
connection with any initiative to acquire control of the Company, to ensure, to the extent possible, that the Shareholders and the Board have adequate time to consider and evaluate any unsolicited take-over bid made for all or a portion of the
outstanding shares of the Company, and to ensure, to the extent possible, that the Board has adequate time to identify, develop and negotiate value-enhancing alternatives, as appropriate. 

Effect of the 2016 Rights Plan 

The 2016 Rights Plan is not intended to and will not prevent take-over bids that are equal or fair to Shareholders. For example, Shareholders
may tender to a bid that meets the “permitted bid” criteria set out in the 2016 Rights Plan without triggering the 2016 Rights Plan, even if the Board does not feel the bid is acceptable. Even in the context of a bid that does not meet the
“permitted bid” criteria, the Board must consider every bid made, and must act in all circumstances honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company. 

Furthermore, any person or group that wishes to make a take-over bid for the Company may negotiate with the Board to have the 2016 Rights Plan
waived or terminated, subject in both cases to the terms of the 2016 Rights Plan, or may apply to a securities commission or court to have the 2016 Rights Plan terminated. Both of these approaches provide the Board with more time and control over
the process to enhance Shareholder value, lessen the pressure upon Shareholders to tender to a bid and encourage the fair and equal treatment of all independent shareholders in the context of an acquisition of control. 

Approval by Shareholders 
 If the
Rights Plan Resolution is approved at the Meeting, the Second Amended and Restated Shareholder Rights Plan and Third Amended and Restated Shareholder Rights Plan will take effect as set forth therein. If the Rights Plan Resolution is not approved at
the Meeting, the Second Amended and Restated Shareholder Rights Plan and the outstanding rights will terminate. The Board reserves the right to alter any terms of or not to proceed with the 2016 Rights Plan at any time prior to the Meeting in the
event that the Board determines, in light of subsequent developments, that to do so is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders. 

The 2016 Rights Plan has been conditionally approved by the Toronto Stock Exchange, subject to the approval of the Company’s
Shareholders. 
 Under the terms of the Plans, the Rights Plan Resolution must be passed by a majority of the votes cast thereon by
Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting. The full text of the proposed ordinary resolution approving the Plans is as follows: 

“BE IT RESOLVED THAT 
  

	 	1.	 (a) The Second Amended and Restated Shareholder Rights Plan Agreement dated as of July 2, 2015 between
the Company and Computershare Investor Services Inc. (“Computershare”), as rights agent (the “Second Amended and Restated Shareholder Rights Plan”), as described in this Circular and on the terms set out in the Second Amended and
Restated Shareholder Rights Plan, be and is hereby confirmed and approved; and (b) the Third Amended and Restated Shareholder Rights Plan Agreement 



  
  

					
		  	 	23 | ALAMOS GOLD INC.	  










	 	 
to be entered into between the Company and Computershare, which amends and restates the Second Amended and Restated Shareholder Rights Plan, on the terms described in this Circular, be and is
hereby confirmed and approved; provided that (a) and then (b) shall be deemed to be confirmed and approved in the order set forth above; and 


  

	 	2.	 Any one of the directors or officers of the Company be and is hereby authorized to perform all such acts,
execute and deliver on behalf of the Company all such other documents and agreements which in his opinion he deems necessary and in the best interest of the Company, in order to give effect to the foregoing resolution.”



 The Board has determined that the Plans are in the best interests of the Shareholders. Accordingly, the Board
unanimously recommends that the Shareholders ratify, confirm and approve the Plans. 
 Unless instructed otherwise, the
persons named in the accompanying proxy intend to vote FOR the approval of the Plans. 
  

	6.	 Approval of Amendments to Company’s By-laws



 At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to approve an ordinary resolution confirming and ratifying the amendments
to the Company’s By-Law No. 1 (as amended, the “Amended By-Law No. 1”) to reflect current practices and to align the by-laws with recommended corporate governance practices. By-Law No. 1 was adopted as part of the amalgamation of Former Alamos and AuRico in July 2015. The following is a
summary of the key amendments included in the Amended By-Law No. 1: 
  

	•	 	 Votes at Board Meetings: The prior by-law provided that the
Chairman of the meeting of directors had a second or casting vote in the event of a tie. The Company is proposing to remove the second or casting vote of the Chairman at meetings of the Board. 



 

	•	 	 Notice of Meeting. The prior by-law provided that any Director
or the President may call a meeting of the Board by giving 48 hours’ notice, the revised by-law provides that any Director, President and Chief Executive Officer may call a meeting of the Board by giving
72 hours’ notice. 


  

	•	 	 Chairman of Board Meetings. The prior by-law provided that
“The first-mentioned of the chairman of the board, the managing director or the president who so qualifies shall preside as chairman of the meeting.” Amended By-Law No. 1 would replace “the
managing director or the president” with “appointed lead independent director”. 


 The Board approved the
Amended By-Law No. 1 on March 22, 2016. A copy of the Amended By-Law No. 1 is included as Schedule “B” to this Circular. 

The full text of the ordinary resolution confirming and ratifying the Amended By-Law No. 1 is as
follows: 
 BE IT RESOLVED THAT: 
  

	1.	 The Company’s Amended By-Law No. 1, in the form adopted
by the Board of Directors as set out in Schedule “B” to this Circular, be and is hereby ratified, confirmed and approved. 


  

	2.	 Any one of the directors or officers of the Company be and is hereby authorized, on behalf of the Company,
to perform all such acts, to execute and deliver all such documents and agreements as such director or officer may determine necessary or desirable to give effect to the foregoing resolution, such determination to be conclusively evidenced by the
performing of such actions or the execution and delivery of such documents and agreements. 



  
  

					
		  	 	24 | ALAMOS GOLD INC.	  









 The Board has determined that the adoption of the Amended
By-Law No. 1 is in the best interest of the Company and unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote to ratify, confirm and approve the Amended By-Law No. 1.
Unless instructed otherwise, the persons named in the accompanying proxy intend to vote FOR the ratification and confirmation of the Amended By-Law No. 1. 

 

	7.	 Advisory Resolution on Approach to Executive Compensation – “Say on Pay”



 The Company believes that its compensation objectives and approach to executive compensation align the interests of
management with the long-term interests of shareholders and are appropriate. Details of the Company’s approach to executive compensation are disclosed in the “Report on Executive Compensation” beginning on page 36 of this Circular.

 As part of our dialogue with Shareholders about executive compensation, we are proposing a “say on pay” advisory resolution
(the “Say on Pay Resolution”) for this year’s Meeting. 
 As the Say on Pay Resolution is an advisory vote, the
results are not binding upon the Board. However, the Board and the Human Resources and Corporate Governance and Nominating Committees of the Board will take the results of the vote into account when considering future compensation policies,
procedures and decisions. 
 Prior to voting on the Say on Pay Resolution, the Board urges Shareholders to read the Executive Compensation
section of the Circular as it explains the objectives and principles used in designing an executive compensation program for Alamos’ Named Executive Officers (NEOs). Shareholders with questions about our executive compensation programs are
encourage to contact Christine Barwell, Vice President, Human Resources, by email at notice@alamosgold.com. 
 BE IT RESOLVED THAT: 

 

	 	1.	 On an advisory basis and not to diminish the role and responsibilities of the Board, that Shareholders
accept the approach to executive compensation disclosed in this Circular provided in advance of the Meeting. 



The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of the Say on Pay Resolution. Unless instructed otherwise, the persons
named in the accompanying proxy intend to vote in FOR the Say on Pay Resolution.

 STATEMENT OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRACTICES 

The Role of the Board of Directors 
 The
primary responsibility of the Board is to provide governance and stewardship to the Company. Each of the members of the Board is required to exercise their business judgment in a manner consistent with their fiduciary duties. In particular,
directors are required to act honestly and in good faith, with a view to the best interests of the Company and to exercise the care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances. 

The Board discharges its responsibility for supervising the management of the business and affairs of the Company by delegating the day-to-day management of the Company to senior officers. The Board oversees the Company’s systems of corporate governance and financial reporting and controls to ensure
that the Company reports adequate and fair financial information to shareholders and engages in ethical and legal corporate conduct. Its goal is to ensure that Alamos continues to operate as a successful business, and to optimize financial returns
to increase the Company’s value over time while effectively managing the risks confronting the organization. The Board has adopted a formal mandate setting out the role and responsibilities of the Board, a copy of which is attached as Schedule
“C” to this Circular. 
 The independent directors meet in the absence of the
non-independent director at each meeting of the Board. The sessions are presided over by the Company’s independent Chairman. Any issues addressed at the in camera sessions requiring action on behalf of,
or communication to, management are communicated to management by the independent directors. 
 The Board has also adopted written position
descriptions for the Chairman of the Board and the Chief Executive Officer in order to delineate their respective roles and responsibilities. The responsibilities of the Chairman of the Board include providing overall leadership to enhance the
effectiveness of the Board; assisting the Board, Board Committees and the individual directors in effectively understanding and discharging their respective duties and responsibilities; overseeing all aspects of the Board and Board Committee
functions to ensure compliance with the Company’s corporate governance practices; acting as an adviser to the CEO and other senior officers; and fostering ethical and responsible decision making by the Board and its individual members. The
Chairman of the Board is also required to coordinate and preside at all meetings of the Board and Shareholders, in each case to ensure compliance with applicable law and the Company’s governance practices. 

The Chief Executive Officer is to be the leader of an effective and cohesive management team for the Company, set the tone for the Company by
exemplifying consistent values of high ethical standards and fairness, lead the Company in defining its vision, be the main spokesperson for the Company and ensure that the Company achieves its strategic objectives. The CEO works with, and is
accountable to, the Board with due regard to the Board’s requirement to be informed and independent. 
 It is expected that each
director must be able to devote sufficient time to discharge their responsibilities effectively. In order to facilitate this, the Board has adopted a policy limiting the number of boards considered appropriate for directors, having regard to whether
they are independent directors or members of management. Specifically, in the case of the CEO, he shall not sit on more than two outside public company boards in addition to that of the Company, and in the case of a
non-management director, he or she shall not sit on more than five outside public company boards in addition to that of the Company. As of April 1, 2016, all of the directors of the Company are in
compliance with this policy of the Board. 

  
  

					
		  	 	26 | ALAMOS GOLD INC.	  









 Director Independence 

The Board has determined that eight of the Company’s nine directors are “independent” within the meaning of National Instrument 58-101 and one is not independent. The Board considers that John McCluskey is not an independent director because of his position as President and CEO. The current Chairman of the Board, Paul Murphy, is an
independent director and is not involved in day-to-day operations of the Company. In the event a chair was selected that was not independent, the Board, in accordance
with the Board Mandate, will designate one of the independent directors as the lead director. 
 The Board is responsible for determining
whether or not each director is an independent director. In 2015 the Board adopted a Director Independence Policy which assists the Board in determining whether a director is independent within the meaning of National Instrument 58-101 (Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices) and National Policy 58-201 (Corporate Governance Guidelines) and the New York Stock Exchange corporate governance rules.

 This policy also requires each director who has been determined to be independent to notify the Chair of the Corporate Governance and
Nominating Committee, as soon as reasonably practicable, in the event that such director’s personal circumstances change in a manner that may affect the board’s determination of whether such director is independent. 

The Board also believes that it should be comprised of directors that are to the greatest extent possible free from actual, perceived or
potential conflicts of interest. In 2015, the Board amended its Board of Directors Mandate to include that when a director’s principal occupation or business association changes substantially from the position he or she held when originally
invited to join the Board (determined by reference to factors such as country of principal residence, industry affiliation, etc.) that director should tender a letter of proposed resignation to the Chair of the Corporate Governance and Nominating
Committee. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee will review the director’s continuation on the Board and recommend to the Board whether, in light of the circumstances, the Board should accept the proposed resignation or request
that the director continue to serve. 
 We have listed in our information about director nominees on pages
7-11 the boards of other issuers certain of our directors sit on. As of April 1, 2016, no members of our Board served together on the boards (or board committees) of other public companies. 

Attendance Record in 2015 for Directors 

The table below summarizes the number of Board and committee meetings attended by each director during 2015. The directors’ attendance
records are also included in the director profiles above. Each Director and Director nominee attended 100% of the Board meetings and Committee meetings (During which time they were a member) from January 1, 2015 to present. In-camera sessions without management present are held at each meeting of the Board of Directors, and are held at Board Committee meetings where the Committee members consider it advisable to do so.

 Ethical Business Conduct 

The Alamos Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the “Code”) requires high standards of professional and ethical conduct from
our directors. Alamos’s reputation for honesty and integrity is integral to the success of its business. No director or employee will be permitted to achieve results through violations of laws or regulations, or through unscrupulous dealings.
Alamos also seeks to ensure that its business practices are compatible with the economic and social priorities of each location in which it operates. 

Although customs vary by country and standards of ethics may vary in different business environments, Alamos’s business activities shall
always be conducted with honesty, integrity and accountability. The Code has been filed on and is accessible on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on the Company’s website at www.alamosgold.com. In order to monitor compliance, the Board requires each
officer and director to certify on an annual basis their agreement and compliance with the Code. If any material waivers from the Code are 

  
  

					
		  	 	28 | ALAMOS GOLD INC.	  









 
granted to directors or officers of the Company, the Board is required to disclose this in the ensuing quarterly or annual report on the finances of the Company. No waivers have been granted.
Activities which may give rise to conflicts of interest are prohibited unless specifically approved by the Board or the Audit Committee. Each director must disclose all actual or potential conflicts of interest to the Board or the Audit Committee
and refrain from voting on all matters in which such director has a conflict of interest. In addition, if a conflict of interest arises, the director must excuse himself or herself from any discussion or decision on any matter in which the director
is precluded from voting as a result of a conflict of interest. 
 In addition to adopting the Code, the Board has adopted the
Company’s Insider Trading Policy and Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption Policy in order to, among other things, encourage and promote a culture of ethical business conduct. The Company periodically holds information and training sessions for
employees to ensure awareness of, and compliance with, applicable law, the Code and other internal policies. 
 For purposes of orientation,
all new directors receive the governance policies of the Company, including Board policies, a record of public information about the Company, minutes from recent meetings of the Board and its Committees and other relevant information. The Board is
responsible for ensuring new nominees fully understand the time commitment required of them as a director. Directors are also encouraged and afforded the opportunity to visit the Company’s operations and receive detailed briefings from
management. As part of the continuing education of directors, management makes regular presentations to the Board on specific aspects of the Company’s business. The Company also encourages directors to attend, at the Company’s expense,
conferences, seminars or courses on subjects related to their role on the Board or when appropriate, Board Committees, including maintaining relevant professional designations. 

Board Assessment 
 The entire Board
evaluates the effectiveness of the Board, its committees and individual directors on an annual basis. To facilitate this evaluation, the Board conducts an annual self-assessment of its performance, consisting of a review of its mandate, the
performance of each Board Committee and the performance of individual directors. Assessment of individual Board member effectiveness is the principal criteria for retention. Accordingly therefore the Company does not have a formal retirement age for
directors. 
 Skills and Areas of Expertise 

The Corporate and Nominating Governance Committee, through the nomination and recruitment process as well as continuing education initiatives,
seeks to ensure that the collective skill set of our directors, including their business expertise and experience, meets the needs of the Company. The Corporate Governance Committee has developed a Skills Matrix setting out the skills and experience
that are viewed as integral to Board effectiveness, which will be used to assess board composition, to help with the Board’s ongoing development and to assist in recruiting new directors in the future. The following table shows the number of
directors who have particular expertise according to the self-assessments which each of them completed in early 2016.

 Diversity 

Currently, the Board of Directors is comprised of 88% (8 of 9) men and the executive team is comprised of 16.7% (2 out of 12) women. The Board
has a adopted a diversity policy that recognizes and believes in the importance of having a Board and management comprised of highly talented and experienced individuals from diverse backgrounds. 

Diversity, including specifically gender diversity, promotes the inclusion of different perspectives, ideas and experiences, and ensures that
Alamos has the opportunity to benefit from all available talent. The promotion of diversity makes business sense, helps maintain a competitive advantage, improves corporate governance and ensures that the Company better reflects its constituents.
Diversity at the Company is also about the commitment to equality and treating all individuals with respect while also recognizing the value of diversity within our organization as a key value driver. 

In support of this goal, the Board and relevant Board committees are required to put forward a diverse group of candidates, including women
candidates, and shall, when identifying candidates to nominate for election to the Board or appointment as management: (a) consider candidates who are highly qualified based on business expertise, functional experience, knowledge, personal
skills and character against objective criteria, having due regard to the benefits of diversity, the needs of the Board, the Company’s current and future plans and objectives, as well as anticipated regulatory developments; (b) consider
criteria that promote diversity, including with regard to gender, ethnicity, age, national origin, disability, and sexual orientation or any other area of potential difference; (c) considers the level of representation of women on the Board and
in Officer positions along with other markers of diversity when making recommendations for nominees to the Board or for appointment as Management and in general with regard to succession planning for the Board and Management; and (d) when
required, engage qualified independent external advisors to assist the Board in conducting its search for candidates who meet the foregoing criteria. 

  
  

					
		  	 	30 | ALAMOS GOLD INC.	  









 Recognizing the need for considered and effective progression in respect of this Policy, success
will be measured based on, among other things, the relative increase in diversity on the Board and in senior management positions over a multi-year period, as well the ongoing implementation of specific processes designed to foster the progression
of and attract diverse candidates to be considered for nomination or appointment. For this reason, Alamos has not adopted specific multi-year targets. As a first step, the Board of Alamos proposed that as a minimum target, one (1) woman
candidate be nominated to stand for election as a director at the Company’s 2016 Annual General Meeting. We believe this ongoing review process will identify and foster the development of suitable candidates for nominations or appointment and
over time will achieve diversity in an orderly and rational manner. We believe the foregoing also achieves the Board’s objective of making the Board better. 

The Vice President, Human Resources, along with the Corporate Governance and Nominating committee will periodically and at a minimum,
annually, report to the Board on the implementation of the Company’s Diversity Policy. 
 Director Tenure 

In 2015, Former Alamos committed to developing a policy which addressed the issue of Board renewal, including specifically term limits. Rather
than instituting a policy of defining fixed terms for directors, the Board will continue working on making the Board better through an ongoing review of the performance of the Board as a whole; as well, individual director performance. The following
chart lists each of our current directors (and nominees for the Board) and when they were first appointed to the Board of the Company (or each of the Company’s two predecessor companies). The Board believes the below data suggests an
appropriate degree of turnover and renewal while maintaining board continuity and knowledge.

 Strategic Planning 

Management is responsible for developing and recommending the Company’s strategic plan for approval by the Board each year. The Board
discusses strategic planning and related issues at each of its quarterly meetings, including the risks associated with various strategic alternatives. Management carries out periodic reviews of the Company’s strategic plan, based on its
progress, and recommends annual corporate objectives, a budget and a long-term financial plan and presents these to the Board for approval. Management also makes presentations to the Board on strategic issues as needed throughout the year. 

  
  

					
		  	 	31 | ALAMOS GOLD INC.	  









 Risk Management 

The Board, in accordance with its mandate, is responsible for the Company’s management of risk. The Alamos Risk Management Program has
been developed by the Board as a systematic approach to identifying, assessing, reporting and managing significant risks facing the Company, both at the corporate and operations level. The program helps the Board identify and manage threats to
achievement of the Company’s corporate objectives. The Board has delegated the responsibility for overseeing and monitoring, from a process standpoint, the Risk Management Program to the Risk Committee, which is a senior management committee
which includes the President and Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Operating Officer and VP General Counsel, among others. The Risk Committee is responsible for ensuring an effective risk management process is in place, and for
monitoring and reporting to the Board on the overall risk profile of the Company. 
 Committees of the Board 

There are currently four standing committees of the Board: the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, the Audit Committee, the Human
Resources Committee and the Technical and Sustainability Committee. Committee members are appointed by and comprised exclusively of independent members of the Board. The roles and responsibilities of each Committee are set out in its Board-approved
written Charter, which Charter is reviewed annually by the relevant committee and the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee. 
 The
mandates of the Committees ensure, collectively, that the Board fulfills its duties and responsibilities and that there is effective supervision and direction of management in the conduct of the affairs of the Company. The Chairman of a committee is
selected by the Board from among the members of the relevant committee (with the exception of the Audit Committee, which designates its own Chairman annually). Each Committee Charter includes a description of the role and responsibilities of the
Chairman of the Committee, which include presiding over Committee meetings, reporting to the Board with respect to the activities of the Committee, and providing leadership to the Committee and assisting it in reviewing and monitoring its
responsibilities set out in its Charter. 
 The Audit Committee of the Company holds an in-camera
session without management present following each of its meetings. Each Committee’s mandate grants it authority to retain and terminate legal or other advisors to the Committee. A copy of the Charter for each of the Committees is posted on
Alamos’s website at www.alamosgold.com. 
 Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee 

The mandate of the committee is to assist the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities with respect developing corporate governance
guidelines, principles and policies for Alamos; identifying individuals qualified to be nominated as members of the Board; structure and composition of Board committees; evaluating the performance and effectiveness of the Board; Board succession and
development; and developing a director education program. 
 The mandate of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee requires that
it shall be comprised of no less than three (3) directors, all of whom are independent. At the end of 2015, the Committee was comprised of four independent directors: David Fleck (Chair), Ronald Smith, Mark Daniel and Claire Kennedy. There were
three meetings of the Company’s Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee during 2015 (July 2, 2015 to December 31, 2015). 

The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, among other things, is responsible for identifying governance standards and practices
applicable to the Company and monitoring new developments in 

  
  

					
		  	 	32 | ALAMOS GOLD INC.	  









 
corporate governance and making periodic recommendations to the Board; annually and periodically reviewing governance and related policies; assisting the Board in approving public disclosure with
respect to corporate governance matters; and, ensuring a program and/or policy is in place with respect to director education. 
 With
respect to the composition of the Board, its committees and the appointment of the CEO, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee shall on an annual basis (or more frequently if required) assess the size and composition of the Board and
Board committees, the competencies and skills required to enable the Board and Board committees to properly discharge their responsibilities, and report the results of that assessment to the Board. 

The Committee shall also assess the effectiveness of the Board as a whole and each Board committee, and assess whether there is a lack of
competencies and skills on the Board or with respect to individual directors of the Company which results in the Board not being effective, and report the results of that assessment to the Board. 

The Committee oversees the process of identifying and recruiting new candidates for election or appointment as directors of the Company,
including assessing the competencies and skills of identified individuals and reporting the results of that assessment to the Board; overseeing the process of identifying and recruiting new candidates for election or appointment as directors of the
Company, including assessing the competencies and skills of identified individuals and reporting the results of that assessment to the Board. 

Annually (and more frequently if appropriate) the committee will also assess the independence, as defined by applicable Canadian and US laws
and regulations as well as the rules of relevant stock exchanges, all as set out in the Company’s Director Independence Policy, of the individual directors of the Company and report the results of that assessment to the Board. The committee,
if/when required, will oversee the process of identifying and recruiting new candidates for appointment as CEO. 
 Human Resources Committee

 The mandate of the Human Resources Committee is to assist the Board in monitoring, reviewing and approving Alamos’s
compensation policies and practices, including specifically the establishment of corporate goals and objectives relevant to compensation of the CEO; evaluation of the CEO’s performance and determination of the CEO’s compensation; in
consultation with the CEO, establishment of corporate and personal performance objectives for executive officers of the Company other than the CEO; in consultation with the CEO, evaluation of performance of, and determination of compensation for,
senior executives other than the CEO; compensation of the directors of the Company; oversight of key compensation policies including incentive and equity-based compensation plans of the Company; and succession
planning for the CEO. 
 The Committee is comprised of four independent directors: Mark Daniel (Chair), David Gower, Patrick Downey and
Kenneth Stowe. Each of the members of the Human Resources Committee have direct experience relevant to their responsibilities with respect to executive compensation. There were three meetings of the Company’s Human Resources Committee during
2015 (July 2, 2015 to December 31, 2015). 
 The process by which the committee determines the compensation for the issuer’s
directors and officers includes setting annual performance objectives, evaluation of such performance, annual reviews of CEO, executive management and director compensation. For a detailed description of how compensation was determined see the
“Report on Executive Compensation”. 

  
  

					
		  	 	33 | ALAMOS GOLD INC.	  









 The Charter of the Human Resources Committee grants it authority to retain and terminate any
compensation consultant to assist in reviewing compensation matters, including sole authority to approve the fees and other terms of retention of such consultants. For the year 2015, the following advisory services were retained:

	 d. Executive Change of Control Analysis
	  			

 Hugessen Consulting Inc. did not provide any services to the Company or management other than, or in addition
to, the services described above. Hugessen Consulting was first retained by the Company in 2012. The Human Resources Committee must pre-approve other services provided by the compensation consultants at the
request of management. 
 The Company participated in the Equilar Top 25 Survey in 2015. Participation in this survey is included in
the annual fee. 
 The Human Resources Committee holds certain risk management responsibilities in respect of those risks within its area of
focus. The Board strives to ensure that the members of the Human Resources Committee have the skills and experience required to make decisions on whether the Company’s compensation policies and practices are consistent with its risk profile.
The Human Resources Committee avoids compensation policies which encourage excessive risk taking, such as compensation policies that allow pay out before the risks associated with the performance are likely to materialize, and policies that do not
include regulatory compliance and risk management as part of their performance metrics. In the Human Resources Committee’s view, compensation outcomes must be symmetric with risk outcomes. Variable compensation for senior executives is
considered more risk-aligned when it is deferred. The Committee is also sensitive to the possible reputational damage that could be suffered by the organization where executives are not compensated in a manner that is consistent with the objectives
of the Alamos executive compensation program or that is otherwise not in the best interests of the Company and its stakeholders. Other mechanisms used to mitigate executive compensation risks include the Company’s Executive Compensation
Claw-back Policy and Minimum Equity Ownership Policy. 
 Audit Committee 

The purpose of the Audit Committee is to assist the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities with respect to the Company’s
compliance with applicable audit, accounting and financial reporting requirements. More particularly, the Committee oversees the Company’s practices with respect to preparation and disclosure of financial related information, including through
its oversight responsibilities with respect to the following: integrity of the quarterly and annual financial statements and management’s discussion and analysis; compliance with accounting and finance-related legal requirements; the audit of
the consolidated financial statements; the review of the performance of, and recommendation of the nomination of, the independent auditors; the accounting and financial reporting practices and procedures including disclosure controls and procedures;
the system of internal controls including internal controls over financial reporting; implementation and effectiveness of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and management of financial business risks that could materially affect the financial
profile of Alamos. A full description of the responsibilities of Alamos’s Audit Committee is set forth in its Charter, a copy of which is available at www.alamosgold.com. 

  
  

					
		  	 	34 | ALAMOS GOLD INC.	  









 At the end of 2015, the Audit Committee consisted of three independent directors: Ronald Smith
(Chair), David Fleck and Patrick Downey. There were three meetings of the Company’s Audit Committee during 2015 (July 2, 2015 to December 31, 2015), each of which was attended by all of the members of the Audit Committee. 

All members of the Audit Committee are financially literate, as defined under NI 52-110. In
considering criteria for determination of financial literacy, the Board looks at the ability to read and understand financial statements of the Company. Each of Ronald Smith, Patrick Downey and David Fleck is an “Audit committee financial
expert” having the attributes required of a “financial expert” as defined under the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002. In determining financial expertise, the Board looks at familiarity with emerging accounting issues, past employment
experience in finance or accounting, requisite professional certification in accounting, or any other comparable experience or background which results in the individuals’ financial sophistication, including being or having been a chief
executive officer, a chief financial officer or having held another senior officer position of an entity with financial oversight responsibilities. 

Technical and Sustainability Committee 

The mandate of the Technical and Sustainability Committee is to oversee Alamos’s technical, environmental, health and safety and social
responsibility performance at all operations and projects of the Company, to monitor related current and future regulatory issues and to make recommendations, where appropriate, to the Board. The Committee also oversees the development and
implementation of the Company’s policies and practices on technical, environmental, health, safety and social responsibility matters in light of applicable laws and recommends best practices in the various jurisdictions in which the Company
conducts its operations. To achieve this, the Committee reviews the Company’s existing programs to ensure that they minimize or prevent the effects of Alamos’s operations on the environment, and monitors their effectiveness. It also
reviews the measures implemented, and key resources committed to, developing a positive relationship with the individuals and communities impacted by Alamos’s operations. The Committee strives to ensure that the individuals employed in its
areas of focus from each jurisdiction in which the Company operates communicate regularly and effectively with one another such that the value of their respective experiences and expertise are optimized. 

There were two meetings of the Company’s Technical and Sustainability Committee during 2015 (July 2, 2015 to December 31, 2015),
each of which was attended by all members of the Committee. At the end of 2015, the Technical and Sustainability Committee consisted of three independent directors, Kenneth Stowe (Chair), Claire Kennedy and David Gower.

 REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION 

As at December 31, 2015, the end of the most recently completed financial year of the Company, the five Named Executive Officers (or
“NEOs”) of the Company were John A. McCluskey, President and Chief Executive Officer, James Porter, Chief Financial Officer, Peter MacPhail, Chief Operating Officer, Andrew Cormier, Vice President, Development and Construction and
Aoife McGrath, Vice President, Exploration. 
 On July 2, 2015, Alamos Gold Inc. (“Former Alamos”) and AuRico Gold
Inc. (“AuRico”) merged to form Alamos. As a result, this report also includes references to Scott Perry, former Chief Executive Officer, AuRico Gold Inc. and Robert Chausse, former Chief Financial Officer, AuRico Gold Inc. 

Compensation Discussion and Analysis 
 The
Alamos executive compensation program is designed to achieve the following objectives: 
  

	 	•	 	 Attract, retain, and motivate people of the highest quality; 



 

	 	•	 	 Align the interests of the CEO and the senior executives with the Company’s shareholders;



  

	 	•	 	 Create incentives to achieve established corporate and individual performance objectives;



  

	 	•	 	 Properly reflect the respective duties and responsibilities of the senior executives; and



  

	 	•	 	 Create incentives relating to risk management and regulatory compliance. 



These objectives are embedded in the Charter of the Human Resources Committee, and reflect the Company’s
pay-for-performance philosophy for compensation of its executives. Each of the elements of the Company’s compensation program (base salary, annual incentive and
long-term incentives) is designed to achieve one or more of these objectives, both in the short and long-term. 
 Compensation for the NEOs,
and the balance of the executive officers, consists of a base salary, discretionary annual incentive, and longer-term incentives in the form of stock options and restricted or performance share unit grants. The Human Resources Committee reviews and
recommends base salary levels to the Board based on a number of factors, in order to enable the Company to attract, motivate and retain high quality executives who are critical to the Company’s long-term success. Annual incentive compensation
is linked to achievement of individual and annual corporate objectives, thereby aligning interests of the executives with those of the Company’s shareholders. Long-term equity incentive compensation is intended to align the interests of
executive officers with the longer term interests of shareholders. 
 Overall, the Company’s compensation strategy is to target total
compensation up to the 75th percentile of the Company’s defined peer group, based on performance. Historically, the Company placed greater weight on short and long-term incentives to achieve
the 75th percentile with respect to total compensation. In 2015, the Company has continued to offset increased base salaries with lower long-term incentive grants relative to prior years. As an
executive officer’s level of responsibility and ability to influence Company operations and results increases, the mix of total compensation is weighted more heavily to pay at risk (annual incentive and long-term incentive), thereby further
aligning the interests of executive officers with those of the Company’s shareholders. 
 The Company’s performance and
compensation review for the 2015 year was led and conducted by the Human Resources Committee on January 20, 2015. At that time, the Human Resources Committee and subsequently, the Board concluded that there would be no salary increases for
executives and approved the 2015 long-term incentive grant. On the merger between Alamos Gold Inc. and AuRico Gold Inc. on July 3, 2015, the Human Resources Committee and subsequently the Board reviewed and approved salary increases for the
executives in line with the broadened scope and increased complexity of each of their roles and the size of the 

  
  

					
		  	 	36 | ALAMOS GOLD INC.	  









 
Company. These increases ranged from 5% to 23% and are further explained in the notes accompanying the Summary of Compensation table below. On March 22, 2016, the Board reviewed and approved
the 2015 annual incentives for the Company’s executives, including the NEOs. 
 The merger between Former Alamos and AuRico triggered a
change of control in accordance with the terms of certain executives’ respective employment agreements. The agreements (in most cases), had been in place since 2012 and included a single-trigger change of control clause. The Board set out to
ensure continuity in all executive functions of the Company and incentivize each executive to positively contribute to the successful integration of Alamos. Amended and restated employment agreements for each of the Company’s senior executives,
including the NEOs were executed as at July 3, 2015. These agreements were amended to remove the single-trigger change of control clauses in accordance with executive compensation best practices and contained a retention bonus agreement for
each applicable executive (each a “Retention Agreement”). The retention agreement defined three payments, with the first being upon completion of the merger and/or receipt of an executed agreement and the subsequent payments on the
first and second anniversaries of the completion of the merger. The payments were calculated based on the cash component of the change of control terms of the previous employment agreements – salary plus bonus – plus a
small multiple which was in consideration of each executive waiving the immediate vesting of their long-term incentives, Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan and other benefits. The first payment was delivered on July 15, 2015 for all NEOs
except for the CEO which was paid on September 15, 2015. The Vice President, Exploration was not an executive officer at the time of the merger and therefore did not receive a retention bonus on account of having no change of control clause in
her employment agreement. 
 INDEPENDENT ADVICE. The Company paid the fees outlined below for independent compensation advisory services in
conjunction with the annual executive compensation review for the years indicated.

 Key components of the Company’s compensation plan are discussed in greater detail
below. 
 Base Salary 
 Base salaries
provide executive officers with remuneration based on the position and the required qualifications and skills to effectively perform the functions contained in the job description. Base salaries are also the determinant for other forms of
compensation (annual incentive, long-term incentive, pension and benefits) to the extent these are paid or granted as a percentage of base salary. Base salaries are intended to be internally equitable and externally competitive with the principal
objectives being to attract candidates and retain and motivate existing executives and employees. Salaries are reviewed annually based on performance levels within the Company, and in comparison to base salaries for similar roles in peer group
companies. The target base salary varies per executive role and actual base salaries reflect years of experience both within the 

  
  

					
		  	 	38 | ALAMOS GOLD INC.	  









 
industry, and in general, at the executive level, both technical and management skills, and performance level. The actual base salaries fall anywhere from below P25 (i.e. 25th percentile) up to the 75th percentile of the peer group and/or the market at large. Annual adjustments to base salary are assessed and
recommended by the CEO (regarding other NEOs and executives) to the Human Resources Committee and then recommended by the Human Resources Committee to the Board for their final decision. 

Non-Equity Annual Incentive 

The Human Resources Committee determines, on a discretionary basis, annual incentive awards to be paid to the executive officers of the Company
in respect of a financial year based on both individual and corporate performance, as well as the recommendations of the CEO (regarding other NEOs). Each executive officer is responsible for presenting specific individual goals and objectives to the
Board for review and approval on an annual basis. The CEO approves, on a discretionary basis, annual incentives to be paid by the Company to all other eligible employees of the Company in respect of a financial year. Annual incentive targets are set
based on peer group benchmarking, and an internal review for internal equity purposes. An annual incentive is provided as an element of total compensation to provide an incentive to achieve or exceed annual goals consistent with operating or
financial metrics that can generally be improved on a year over year basis. The Company metrics are outlined in the table below under “Review of Recent Performance and Performance Objectives”. All executives other than the CEO, CFO and COO
have a 50:50 weighting of their individual and corporate metrics. The CFO and COO have a weighting of 75:25 corporate metrics and individual goals, whereas the CEO is measured entirely on performance relative to corporate metrics. 

Long-Term Incentive Plans 
 The long-term
incentive grant in 2015 for executives, including the NEOs was made at the same fair value as the 2014 grant. In 2015, each executive’s long-term incentive award value was divided equally between stock options and restricted share units and
were awarded under the former Alamos Gold Inc. long-term incentive plan. There was no long-term incentive grant approved in 2015 for executives who were previously employed by AuRico Gold Inc. 

The Company provides its executives with incentives to achieve the Company’s goal of price appreciation for its common shares. Each
executive plays a critical role in achievement of the Company’s operational, financial and other objectives which can result in share price appreciation. Each officer is awarded a long-term incentive package on entering service and annual
grants are reviewed by the Board. The Company utilizes the initial value of a grant, as determined using the Black Scholes option pricing model (for stock options) on the five (5) day Volume Weighted Average Price (“VWAP”), to
evaluate executive compensation given this is a common practice amongst the Company’s peer group. The Board recognizes that the value of this element of compensation is high in the year an executive is appointed to his or her position as a
result of the initial grant. 
 Going forward, all long-term incentive grants will be made pursuant to the Company’s Long-term
Incentive Plan. See “Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans” below for further details of the LTIP. See also the section dealing with the approval of the Company’s Long-term Incentive Plan on Page 12 for an
overview of the terms of the plan. 
 Option Re-pricing 

It is expected that in 2016 and going forward, executive officers will be granted stock options and performance share units. No options held by
the Named Executive Officers are permitted to be, or were, re-priced downward during the Company’s most recently completed financial year ended December 31, 2015.

 Stock Appreciation Rights (“SARs”) 

In 2011, the Board approved a cash-settled stock appreciation rights plan (the “SARs Plan”) to grant incentive SARs to
directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company or any of its subsidiaries and affiliates. A cash-settled stock appreciation right (“SAR”) entitles a participant to receive cash consideration equal to the appreciation
in value of the Company’s common shares over a certain period of time. The term and vesting provisions of SARs are authorized by the Board at the time of the grant. Following amendments to the SARs Plan made by the Board in 2012, SARs granted
under the SARs Plan are exercisable for a five-year period, vesting 1/3 on the anniversary of the date of grant, and 1/3 at each twelve month interval following the date of grant, until fully vested. The strike price of a SAR cannot be lower than
the market price of the common shares of the Company at the date of the grant of the SAR, where market price is the closing price of the Company’s common shares on the TSX on the business day on which the grant of the SAR is approved by the
Board. 
 SARs are cash-settled liabilities, which are initially valued and re-measured at each
reporting date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing method. At the settlement date, the SARs liability is re-measured to the intrinsic value or cash payment required to settle the SARs liability. Changes in
the fair value of the SARs liability are recognized as an expense within share-based compensation in the Statements of Comprehensive Income. No SARs were granted to any Named Executive Officer in 2015. 

Prior to the merger, executive officers of Alamos Gold Inc. were granted awards under Alamos’ Stock Option, Restricted Share Unit,
Deferred Share Unit and Stock Appreciation Rights. There will be no further grants under these plans. The plans will continue to govern the previously awarded stock options, RSUs, DSUs and SARs until their date of expiry. 

Pension Plans 
 The Board approved a
Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”) for the Company’s executives which became effective on January 1, 2014. The plan is an unfunded, non-registered plan. The Company is
not required nor obligated to fund for the provision of any benefits under this SERP prior to the date the members’ benefit entitlements fall due. There are no physical assets or funds held in trust in connection with this unfunded SERP. The
members are unsecured creditors of the Company with respect to balances in their members’ SERP Vested Accumulated Accounts. 
 The plan
is administered by a Company-approved Authorized Administrative Agent. Each executive provides their Investment Direction in writing, which specifies the investment and percentages to be notionally invested in the Company-approved Allowable
Investment Options. 
 SERP benefits are Canadian dollar denominated. Executives are eligible to participate in the SERP on the 1st of the month immediately following the completion of six (6) months continuous service. The SERP in 2015 has a rolling vesting provision of two (2) years. The Company credits 12% of each
executive’s annual earnings (base salary and annual incentive) to the members’ SERP Accumulation Sub-account. No other earnings may be included in this calculation. Executives are not permitted to
make notional contributions to the SERP. 
 The value of each executive’s SERP Account will be determined by the Authorized
Administrative Agent and will take into account the notional employer contributions and the investment earnings thereon. 
 In the case of a
Change of Control, all unvested SERP Accumulation Sub-accounts vest immediately. 
 Upon retirement,
which has been defined in the Plan as the 1st of the month following the 65th birthday of the executive (“Normal Retirement
Date”), the executive is entitled to the SERP total accumulation account. 

  
  

					
		  	 	40 | ALAMOS GOLD INC.	  









 
Should an executive retire prior to the normal retirement date, the executive is entitled to the SERP vested accumulation account. The Board has the discretion to deem the benefit entitlement to
be the SERP total accumulation account if an executive retires prior to the normal retirement date. 
 Upon total and permanent disability
prior to the normal retirement date, the executive’s benefit entitlement is to the SERP total accumulation account. Upon resignation or termination from the Company, the executive’s benefit entitlement is the SERP vested accumulation
account. The Board has the discretion to deem the benefit entitlement to be the SERP total accumulation account in the case of termination of employment. 

If the vested portion of the SERP total accumulation account is less than $100,000 the benefit shall be provided in a lump-sum payment, less applicable withholding taxes. If the vested portion of the SERP total accumulation account is $100,000 or more, the executive may receive the benefit as a
lump-sum payment, less applicable withholding taxes, or a lump-sum contribution to a Retirement Compensation Arrangement (RCA) as defined under the Income Tax Act
(Canada).

 Employee Share Purchase
Plan 
 On April 1, 2014, the Board of AuRico approved an Employee Share Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) which continues to
be employed by the Company following completion of the merger. The ESPP is designed to encourage employee savings through ownership of common shares of the Company. Alamos believes the plan will aid in attracting, retaining, and encouraging
employees to acquire an ownership interest in the Company.
 Officers, directors, employees and consultants of the Company and its
subsidiaries (“Eligible Participants”), may elect to contribute between one (1) and ten (10) percent of their base salary towards the purchase of common shares of the Company and the Company will match the contribution in
an amount equal to 75% of the participant’s contribution. Participant and Company contributions vest immediately. 
 The aggregate
number of Common Shares to be reserved and set aside for issue from treasury under the ESPP is 0.2% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares of the Company from time to time on a non-diluted basis. The
aggregate number of shares issued pursuant to the ESPP, together with all other established security-based compensation arrangements of the Company, shall not exceed 6.5% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares at the time the shares are issued
(from treasury) (on a non-diluted basis). In the case of shares issued from the Company’s treasury, the purchase price will be a price per Common Share equal to 100% of the volume-weighted average trading
price of the Common Shares for the 5 trading days immediately preceding the end of the reporting quarter in respect of which the shares are issued, as reported 

  
  

					
		  	 	41 | ALAMOS GOLD INC.	  









 
by the TSX. For all other Common Shares purchased in the market, the purchase price will be 100% of the average purchase price of the Common Shares purchased by the Company on behalf of the
participants through the TSX or the NYSE, as applicable. 
 Eligible Participant and corresponding Company matching contributions are sent
to a third party administrative agent as soon as practicable after the last day of each contribution period, at which time the administrative agent will record the amounts in each personal account. The funds are then used to either issue shares
from treasury or purchase shares through normal market purchases, at the discretion of the Company. The administrative agent then allocates the applicable shares on a full or fractional share basis to each personal account. Any funds in
the personal account as a result of dividend credits are used to purchase additional shares. 
 Upon disability, retirement, resignation or
termination without cause/wrongful dismissal, or termination with cause, the Eligible Participant will have thirty (30) days to elect to withdraw or sell all of the ESPP shares credited to the participant’s account. If such election is not
made, the participant’s ESPP shares will be withdrawn. Upon death, the Eligible Participants’ personal representative will have thirty (30) days to elect to withdraw or sell all of the ESPP shares credited to the participant’s
account. If such election is not made, the Participant’s Personal Representative (or such other designated person) will automatically be deemed to have elected to withdraw the balance of Plan Shares as of the date of death. No Common Shares
credited to a participant’s account, nor any rights to receive Common Shares under the ESPP, may be assigned, transferred, charged, pledged or otherwise alienated, in any way by the participant other than by will or the laws of descent and
distribution. 
 Managing Compensation-Related Risk 

The Board and the Human Resources Committee have an active role in risk oversight regarding the Company’s compensation policies and
practices. They consider all factors related to an executive’s performance and regularly assess, as part of their respective deliberations, the risk implications of the Company’s compensation policies and practices, including the
potential for any inappropriate or excessive risk-taking by its executive officers, in determining compensation. The Company uses the following practices to discourage inappropriate or excessive risk-taking by directors and executive officers: 

 

	 	•	 	 The Human Resources Committee avoids compensation policies which encourage excessive risk taking, such as
compensation policies that allow pay out before the risks associated with the performance are likely to materialize, and policies that do not include regulatory compliance and risk management as part of their performance metrics. In the Human
Resources Committee’s view, compensation outcomes must be symmetric with risk outcomes. Variable compensation for senior executives is considered more risk-aligned when it is deferred. Specifically, the payout for the executive should be
deferred until the long-term impact of the action that is taken can be assessed and determined. 


  

	 	•	 	 Incentive compensation awards are based upon achievement of both corporate and personal objectives, and are
not inordinately weighted to any single metric, which in the Company’s view could be distortive. Compensation packages consist of an appropriate mix of fixed and performance based compensation, with short and long term performance conditions.



  

	 	•	 	 Each director and executive officer of the Company is required to comply with the minimum equity ownership
requirements of the Company (see “Minimum Equity Ownership Requirement”). 


  

	 	•	 	 The Human Resources Committee has discretion in assessing the annual incentive awards paid to executive
officers of the Company, based on both individual and corporate performance. 



  
  

					
		  	 	42 | ALAMOS GOLD INC.	  










	 	•	 	 The long-term incentives available to executives are subject to gradual vesting provisions, such that the
interests of grantees remain aligned with those of shareholders for a longer period, including with respect to the impact of their decisions on the Company’s share price performance. 



 

	 	•	 	 The Board has adopted an Executive Compensation Claw-back Policy concerning awards made under the
Company’s incentive plans. Under this policy, which applies to all executives, the Board may, in its sole discretion, to the full extent permitted by governing laws and to the extent it determines that it is in the Company’s best interest
to do so, require reimbursement of all or a portion of incentive compensation received by an executive in certain circumstances. Specifically, the Board may seek reimbursement of full or partial compensation from an executive or former executive
officer in situations where: 


  

	 	•	 	 the amount of incentive compensation received by the executive or former executive officer was calculated
based upon, or contingent on, the achievement of certain financial results that were subsequently the subject of, or affected by, a restatement of all or a portion of the Company’s financial statements; 



 

	 	•	 	 the executive officer engaged in gross negligence, intentional misconduct or fraud that caused or partially
caused the need for the restatement; and 


  

	 	•	 	 the incentive compensation payment received would have been lower had the financial results been properly
reported. 


  

	 	•	 	 The Company’s Insider Trading Policy prohibits directors, officer, employees or any other or person
retained by the Company or any of its subsidiaries to: (a) engage in hedging transactions with respect to securities in the Company; (b) hold securities of the Company in margin accounts; or, (c) pledge securities of the Company as
collateral.

 Key inputs used in the valuation of 2014 and 2013 stock option grants are as disclosed in
the Management Information Circulars filed June 3, 2015 and May 2, 2014, respectively. Option pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, particularly as to the expected volatility of the stock. Changes in these
assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate and, therefore, it is management’s view that the existing models may not provide a single reliable measure of the fair value of the Company’s stock option grants. The Company uses
an option-pricing model because there is no market for which employee options may be freely traded. Readers are cautioned not to assume that the value derived from the model is the value that an employee might receive if the options were freely
traded, nor assume that these amounts are the same as those reported for by the employee as income received for tax purposes.

 CEO Compensation 

The table below outlines key metrics with respect to CEO total compensation. The differential between the CEO total compensation and the next
highest NEO in 2015 was 2.3 times. This reflects a difference in experience of the CEO relative to the next highest NEO at Alamos Gold Inc. 2015 peer group data was not available at the time of writing this report. For 2014 and relative to the
Company peer group, the CEO differential of 2.0 times that of the next highest-paid NEO fell between the median and P75. 
 CEO compensation
as a percentage of 2015 earnings and three year average earnings relative to the peer group could not be reported given the merger of Alamos Gold Inc. and AuRico Gold Inc., rendering historical combined earnings not relevant for this calculation.

 Source: Hugessen Consulting March 26, 2016. Review of Recent Performance and Performance
Objectives 
 The annual incentive plan is structured to recognize individual and Company-wide performance. Goal achievement equates
to a 100% target payout, while exceeding goals is recognized by a target payout of up to 200%. Individual goal recognition is determined in concert with overall corporate performance. Equally, the Board has the discretion to recognize goals that are
not fully achieved but would be paid at a threshold level (below target). Target annual incentive payout levels are expressed in ranges and as percentages of base salary. 

The NEOs are measured on their individual goals and on the corporate metrics which are set out in the table below. For all NEOs except for the
CEO, CFO and COO, individual and corporate metrics are weighted equally (50:50). The Chief Financial Officer and the Chief Operating Officer corporate and individual metrics are weighted 75:25. The President and CEO, John McCluskey is evaluated on
the achievement of corporate metrics only.

 PERFORMANCE GRAPH 

The Company’s shares were listed for trading on the TSX on June 18, 2004 (trading symbol “AGI”). The following
graph compares the yearly percentage change in the cumulative total shareholder return of the Company’s common shares with the S&P/TSX Global Gold Index for the period from January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2015 assuming a $100
investment in its common shares. 
 Comparison of Cumulative Total Return since January 1, 2011 between the Company’s Shares and
the S&P/TSX Global Gold Index 
  
  
 



 
 Over the period of 2012 to 2015, the Company share price consistently outperformed the S&P/TSX Global
Gold index however in 2011 and 2015, the Company underperformed the S&P/TSX Global Gold Index. 
 Over this period the total
compensation paid to NEOs has varied due to many factors including overall company performance, and the value of option and share-based awards granted, which in turn were based on market data. As executive compensation is paid in CAD, the foreign
exchange rate used to report executive compensation in USD each year was also a factor. As reported in the Summary Compensation Table, above, NEO compensation has fluctuated but, overall, total compensation remained stable from 2014 to 2015
excluding the retention bonus payment. The increased total compensation reported includes the first of three annual retention bonus payments with the final payment to be delivered in July 2017. As reported earlier, this was a contractual arrangement
driven by a single-trigger change of control clause and the Board’s decision to ensure continuity in all executive functions of the Company and incentivize each executive to positively contribute to the successful integration of Alamos.

 Outstanding DSU Awards 

Non-executive directors may receive a portion or all of their director’s compensation as DSUs. As
DSUs are received as compensation for services in lieu of cash remuneration, they represent an investment by directors in Alamos similar to share ownership. Each director may elect to receive all of their director retainer as DSUs. The intention of
the plan is to further align the interests of directors with those of shareholders. While serving as a director, DSUs cannot be paid out. DSUs are paid in full to the director following termination of board service. Each DSU vests immediately and
represents the right of the director to receive, after termination of all positions with Alamos, the market value of the DSUs equal to the volume-weighted average trading price of Alamos shares on the TSX for the five trading days immediately
preceding the payout date (for DSUs granted under the Alamos Gold Inc. Deferred Share Unit Plan) or the date on which the director ceases to hold all positions with the Company (for DSUs granted under the LTIP). 

The Human Resources Committee, in consultation with outside consultants and Management, make recommendations on the grant of DSUs to the Board
for their final decision. Director grants are determined through a discretionary review of the Company’s peer group ensuring that our practices are competitive and current. Awards are paid in alignment with the Company’s overall
compensation strategy to compensate its directors up to the 75th percentile of the Company’s peer group. 
 All incoming directors
receive an initial grant of DSUs at a value of approximately $100,000 based on the closing share price on the date immediately preceding the finalization of the Board resolution approving such grant. All DSU grant awards for directors vest
immediately.

 SCHEDULE “A” – SUMMARY OF 2016 RIGHTS PLAN 

The following is a brief summary of the principal terms of the 2016 Rights Plan. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
Second Amended and Restated Shareholder Rights Plan posted on our SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com, with the proposed changes to the definitions of Competing Bid and Permitted Bid as described above under 5. Approval of Amended and Restated
Shareholder Rights Plans – Alamos’ Rights Plan and as detailed below. All capitalized terms used but not defined herein are defined in the Second Amended and Restated Shareholder Rights Plan. 

Differences between the 2016 Rights Plan and the Second Amended and Restated Rights Plan: The 2016 Rights Plan (or Third Amended and
Restated Shareholder Rights Plan) and the Second Amended and Restated Shareholder Rights Plan are substantially similar, with the substantive differences being changes made to align the 2016 Rights Plan with the TOB Amendments as described above
under 5. Approval of Amended and Restated Shareholder Rights Plans – Alamos’ Rights Plan. The substantive differences between the 2016 Rights Plan and the Second Amended and Restated Shareholder Rights Plan are amendments to the
Competing Bid and Permitted Bid definitions to (i) include a 105-day permitted bid period (rather than the usual 60 days) until the implementation of the new rules, and (ii) require compliance with
the new rules set forth in National Instrument 62-104 Take-Over Bids and Issuer Bids following implementation of the new rules. This Schedule “A” is a summary of the 2016 Rights Plan. 

Term: The 2016 Rights Plan will amend and restate the Second Amended and Restated Shareholder Rights Plan dated as of July 2, 2015
upon approval of the Rights Plan Resolution, effective from the Record Time. If the 2016 Rights Plan is not approved at the Meeting or is not approved at every third annual meeting of shareholders of the Company thereafter, the 2016 Rights Plan and
the outstanding Rights will terminate on and from close of such meeting. 
 Issuance of Rights: Upon the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth in the 2016 Rights Plan, one right (a “Right”) is attached to each Common Share issued after the Record Time (but prior to the earlier of the Separation Time and the Termination Time). 

Exercise Price: Until the Separation Time, the “Exercise Price” of each Right is three times the market price, from time to
time, of the Common Shares. From and after the Separation Time, the Exercise Price is three times the market price, as at the Separation Time, per Common Share. 

Separation Time: The Rights are not exercisable and do not trade separately from their associated Voting Shares until the
“Separation Time”. The “Separation Time” is the close of business on the tenth trading day after the earliest of (i) the stock acquisition date, which is the first date of public announcement of facts indicating that a
person has become an Acquiring Person; (ii) the date of the commencement of, or first public announcement of the current intent of any person (other than the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company) to commence, a take-over bid (other than a
Permitted Bid or a Competing Permitted Bid (as such terms are defined below)); and (iii) the date upon which a Permitted Bid or a Competing Permitted Bid ceases to be one. The Separation Time can also be such later date as may from time to time
be determined by the Board of Directors. 
 Certificates and Transferability: Prior to the Separation Time, the Rights will be
evidenced by a legend imprinted on certificates for the associated Voting Shares issued after the Record Time. From and after the Separation Time, the Rights will be evidenced by separate Rights certificates and will be transferable separately from
Voting Shares. 
 Flip-In Event: A “Flip-In
Event” occurs when any person becomes an Acquiring Person (generally meaning a person who is the Beneficial Owner of 20% or more of the then outstanding Voting Shares). If a Flip-In Event occurs prior to
the Termination Time that has not been waived by the Board (see “Waiver and Redemption”, below), each Right (except for Rights Beneficially Owned or which may thereafter be Beneficially Owned by an Acquiring Person, or an Affiliate or
Associate of an Acquiring Person, or any person acting jointly or in concert with an Acquiring Person or any Affiliate or Associate of such other person, or a transferee of any such person, which Rights will become null and void) shall constitute
the right to purchase from the Company, on payment of the Exercise Price, Voting Shares having an aggregate market price equal to twice the Exercise Price, for an amount in cash equal to the Exercise Price, subject to anti-dilution adjustments. 


  
  

					
		  	 	66 | ALAMOS GOLD INC.	  









 By way of example, if at the time the 2016 Rights Plan is triggered the market price of the
Common Shares is $100 and the Exercise Price is $300, an eligible holder of a Right would be entitled to receive, upon payment of $300, a number of Common Shares as have a total market price equal to $600, that is, 6 Common Shares. This represents a
50% discount of the market price. 
 Permitted Bid Requirements: An Offeror can make a Take-Over Bid and acquire Voting Shares
without triggering a Flip-In Event under the 2016 Rights Plan if the Take-Over Bid qualifies as a “Permitted Bid”. 

A “Permitted Bid” is 

(1) prior to the date on which National Instrument 62-104 Take-Over Bids and Issuer
Bids comes into force in Ontario (the “Implementation Date”), a Take-Over Bid that complies with the following requirements: 
  

	 	(a)	 it is made by means of a Take-Over Bid circular; 



 

	 	(b)	 it is made to all holders of Voting Shares as registered on the books of the Company, other than the person
making the Take-Over Bid (the “Offeror”); 


  

	 	(c)	 it contains, and the take-up and payment for securities tendered or
deposited is subject to, an irrevocable and unqualified condition that no Voting Shares will be taken up or paid for pursuant to the Take-Over Bid (i) prior to the close of business on the date that is not earlier than 105 days following the
date on which the Take-Over Bid was made and (ii) then only if at such date more than 50% of the aggregate of Voting Shares held by Independent Shareholders shall have been deposited or tendered pursuant to the Take-Over Bid and not withdrawn;



  

	 	(d)	 it contains an irrevocable and unqualified condition that unless the Take-Over Bid is withdrawn, Voting Shares
may be deposited pursuant to the Take-Over Bid at any time during the period of time between the date of the Take-Over Bid and the date on which Voting Shares may be first taken up and paid for prior to the close of business on the date which is not
less than 60 days following the date of the Take-Over Bid; and 


  

	 	(e)	 it contains an irrevocable and unqualified condition that if, on the date on which Voting Shares may be taken
up and paid for under the Take-Over Bid more than 50% of the Voting Shares held by Independent Shareholders have been deposited or tendered pursuant to the Take-Over Bid and not withdrawn, the Offeror will make a public announcement of that fact and
the Take-Over Bid will remain open for deposits and tenders of Voting Shares for not less than 10 Business Days from the date of such public announcement; and 



(2) on or after the Implementation Date, a Take-over Bid that is made by means of a take-over bid circular pursuant to National
Instrument 62-104 Take-Over Bids and Issuer Bids and that is made to all holders of Voting Shares of record, other than the Offeror. 

For purposes of the foregoing, an “Independent Shareholder” is any holder of Voting Shares, other than: 

 

	 	(a)	 any Acquiring Person; 



 

	 	(b)	 any Offeror, subject to certain exceptions contained in the 2016 Rights Plan; 



 

	 	(c)	 certain Affiliates and Associates of such Acquiring Person or Offeror; 



 

	 	(d)	 any person acting jointly or in concert with such Acquiring Person or Offeror; and 



 

	 	(e)	 any trustee of any employee benefit plan, deferred profit sharing plan, stock participation plan and any other




  
  

					
		  	 	67 | ALAMOS GOLD INC.	  










	 	 
similar plan or trust for the benefit of employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, unless the beneficiaries of the plan or trust direct the manner in which the Voting Shares are to be
voted or direct whether the Voting Shares are to be tendered to a Take-Over Bid. 


 A Competing Permitted Bid is a
take-over bid that is made while a Permitted Bid is in existence. A Competing Permitted Bid must satisfy all of the requirements of a Permitted Bid (for a Permitted Bid commenced prior to the Implementation Date), except that, if the Competing
Permitted Bid is commenced before the Implementation Date, it is required to remain open until a date that is no earlier than the later of 35 days following the date of the take-over bid constituting the Competing Permitted Bid, and 105 days after
the date on which the earliest Permitted Bid or Competing Permitted Bid which preceded the Competing Permitted Bid was made. 

Redemption: The Rights may be redeemed in certain circumstances: 

Redemption of Rights on Approval of Holders of Voting Shares and Rights. The Board of Directors acting in good faith may, with the
prior approval of the holders of Voting Shares or Rights, at any time prior to the occurrence of a Flip-In Event that has not been waived, elect to redeem all but not less than all of the outstanding Rights at
a redemption price of $0.00001 per Right (the “Redemption Price”), subject to adjustment for anti-dilution as provided in the 2016 Rights Plan. 

If such redemption of Rights is proposed at any time prior to the Separation Time, such redemption or waiver shall be submitted for approval
to the holders of Voting Shares. Such approval shall be deemed to have been given if the redemption or waiver is approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by Independent Shareholders. 

If such redemption of Rights is proposed at any time after the Separation Time, such redemption shall be submitted for approval to the holders
of Rights. Such approval shall be deemed to have been given if the redemption is approved by holders of Rights by a majority of the votes cast by the holders of Rights (other than Rights which are Beneficially Owned by any Person who would not
qualify as an Independent Shareholder.) 
 Deemed Redemption. If a person who has made a Permitted Bid, a Competing Permitted Bid or
an Exempt Acquisition in respect of which the Board of Directors has waived or has been deemed to have waived the application of the 2016 Rights Plan consummates the acquisition of the Voting Shares and/or Convertible Securities, the Board of
Directors shall be deemed to have elected to redeem the Rights for the Redemption Price. 
 Redemption of Rights on Withdrawal or
Termination of Bid. Where a take-over bid that is not a Permitted Bid Acquisition expires, is withdrawn or otherwise terminates after the Separation Time and prior to the occurrence of a Flip-In Event, the
Board of Directors may elect to redeem all the outstanding Rights at the Redemption Price. Upon the Rights being so redeemed, all the provisions of the 2016 Rights Plan shall continue to apply as if the Separation Time had not occurred and Rights
Certificates had not been mailed, and the Separation Time shall be deemed not to have occurred and Rights shall remain attached to the outstanding Voting Shares. 

The Company shall not be obligated to make a payment of the Redemption Price to any holder of Rights unless the holder is entitled to receive
at least $1.00 in respect of all Rights held by such holder. 
 Waiver: The Board of Directors may waive the application of the 2016
Rights Plan in certain circumstances: 
 Discretionary Waiver respecting Acquisition not by Take-over Bid Circular. The Board of
Directors may, with the prior approval of the holders of Voting Shares, at any time prior to the occurrence of a Flip-In Event that would occur by reason of an acquisition of Voting Shares otherwise than
pursuant to a take-over bid made by means of a take-over bid circular sent to all holders of Voting Shares, waive the application of the 2016 Rights Plan to such Flip-In Event. If the Board of Directors
proposes such a waiver it shall extend the Separation Time to a date after the meeting of shareholders but not more than 10 business days thereafter. 

If such waiver of Rights is proposed at any time prior to the Separation Time, such waiver shall be submitted for approval

to the holders of Voting Shares. Such approval shall be deemed to have been given if the waiver is approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by Independent Shareholders. If
such waiver of Rights is proposed at any time after the Separation Time, such waiver shall be submitted for approval to the holders of Rights. Such approval shall be deemed to have been given if the waiver is approved by holders of Rights by a
majority of the votes cast by the holders of Rights (other than Rights which are Beneficially Owned by any Person who would not qualify as an Independent Shareholder.) 

Discretionary Waiver respecting Acquisition by Take-over Circular and Mandatory Waiver of Concurrent Bids. The Board may, prior to the
occurrence of a Flip-In Event that would occur by reason of an acquisition of Voting Shares pursuant to a take-over bid made by means of a take-over bid circular sent to all holders of Voting Shares, waive the
application of the 2016 Rights Plan to such a Flip-In Event, provided that if the Board of Directors waives the application of the 2016 Rights Plan to such a Flip-In
Event, the Board of Directors shall be deemed to have waived the application of the 2016 Rights Plan in respect of any other Flip-In Event occurring by reason of any such take-over bid made by means of a
take-over bid circular sent to all holders of Voting Shares prior to the expiry of the take-over bid for which a waiver is, or is deemed to have been, granted. 

Waiver of Inadvertent Acquisition. The Board may waive the application of the 2016 Rights Plan in respect of the occurrence of any Flip-In Event if (i) the Board of Directors has determined that a person became an Acquiring Person under the 2016 Rights Plan by inadvertence and without any intent or knowledge that it would become an
Acquiring Person; and (ii) the Acquiring Person has reduced its Beneficial Ownership of Voting Shares such that at the time of waiver the person is no longer an Acquiring Person. 

Supplements and Amendments: The Company may make changes to the 2016 Rights Plan prior to or after the Separation Time to correct any
clerical or typographical error or to maintain the validity of the 2016 Rights Plan as a result of any change in any applicable legislation, rules or regulation. The Company may also, by resolution of the Board acting in good faith, make changes to
the 2016 Rights Plan prior to the Meeting. 
 The Company may, with the approval of the holders of Voting Shares, at any time prior to the
Separation Time, make changes to, confirm or rescind the 2016 Rights Plan and the Rights (whether or not such action would materially adversely affect the interests of the holders of Rights generally.) Such approval shall be deemed to have been
given if the change is approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by Independent Shareholders. 
 The Company may,
with the approval of the holders of Rights, at any time on or after the Separation Time, make changes to, confirm or rescind the 2016 Rights Plan and the Rights (whether or not such action would materially adversely affect the interests of the

 SCHEDULE “C” – BOARD OF DIRECTORS MANDATE 

Board of Directors Mandate 
  

The Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Alamos Gold Inc. (the “Company”) is responsible for the stewardship of the business
and affairs of the Company. The Board seeks to discharge this responsibility by reviewing, discussing and approving the Company’s strategic plans, annual budgets and significant decisions and transactions as well as by overseeing the senior
officers of the Company in their management of its day-to-day business and affairs. The Board’s primary role is to oversee corporate performance and assure itself
of the quality, integrity, depth and continuity of management so that the Company is able to successfully execute its strategic plans and complete its corporate objectives. The composition, responsibilities, and authority of the Board are set out in
this Mandate. 
 This Mandate and the Articles of the Company and such other procedures, not inconsistent therewith, as the Board may adopt
from time to time, shall govern the meetings and procedures of the Board. 
  

	1.	 Composition 


  


	1.1	 The Directors of the Company (“Directors”) should have a mix of competencies and skills necessary to
enable the Board and Board Committees to properly discharge their responsibilities. 


  

	1.2	 The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee will annually (and more frequently, if appropriate)
recommend candidates to the Board for election or appointment as Directors, taking into account the Board’s conclusions with respect to the appropriate size and composition of the Board and Board Committees, the competencies and skills required
to enable the Board and Board Committees to properly discharge their responsibilities, and the competencies and skills of the current Board. 


  

	1.3	 The Board approves the final choice of candidates. 



 

	1.4	 The shareholders of the Company elect the Directors annually. 



 

	1.5	 The Board has determined that a majority of the Directors will be “independent” as defined by
applicable Canadian and US laws and regulations as well as the rules of relevant stock exchanges, all as set out in the Company’s Director Independence Policy. 



 

	1.6	 The Board will appoint a Chair from among its members. If the Chair is not independent, the Board will
designate one of the independent Directors as the Lead Director to facilitate the functioning of the Board independently of management of the Company. The Chair and, if appointed, the Lead Director, shall hold office at the pleasure of the Board
until successors have been duly appointed or until the Chair or Lead Director, as applicable, resign, or are otherwise removed from office by the Board. 


  

	1.7	 The Corporate Secretary of the Company, or the individual designated as fulfilling the function of Secretary
of the Company, will be the Secretary of all meetings and will maintain minutes of all meetings and deliberations of the Board. In the absence of the Corporate Secretary at any meeting, the Board will appoint another person who may, but need not, be
a member to be the Secretary of that meeting. 


  

	2.	 Responsibilities 



 

	2.1	 The Board is responsible for supervising the management of and setting strategic direction for the business
and affairs of the Company and its subsidiary entities (the “Group”). 


  

	2.2	 In discharging their responsibilities, the Directors owe the following fiduciary duties to the Company:



  

	 	(a)	 A duty of loyalty: they must act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the
Company; and 



  
  

					
		  	 	78 | ALAMOS GOLD INC.	  










	 	(b)	 A duty of care: they must exercise the care, diligence, and skill that a reasonably prudent person
would exercise in comparable circumstances. 


  

	2.3	 In discharging their responsibilities, the Directors are entitled to rely on the honesty and integrity of the
senior officers of the Company and the independent auditors and other professional advisers of the Company, subject to the Directors’ duty of care. 


  

	2.4	 In discharging their responsibilities, the Directors are also entitled to Directors’ and officers’
liability insurance purchased by the Company and indemnification from the Company to the fullest extent permitted by law and the constating documents of the Company. 



 

	2.5	 The Board has specifically recognized its responsibilities for: 



 

	 	(a)	 hiring a Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”) and other senior officers who it believes will act with
integrity and create a culture of ethical business conduct throughout the Group; 


  

	 	(b)	 adopting a strategic planning process and approving annually (or more frequently if appropriate) a strategic
plan which takes into account, among other things, the opportunities and risks of the business of the Company;

implementation of appropriate systems to manage these risks;

the senior officers of the Company;

ethical standards;

accepted accounting standards; 


  

	 	(k)	 ensuring the timely reporting of any other developments that have a significant and material impact on the
value of the Company; and 


  

	 	(l)	 determining whether any members of the Company’s Audit Committee are “Audit Committee financial
experts” as such term is defined in the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. 


  

	2.6	 It is expected that each director must be able to devote sufficient time to discharge their responsibilities
effectively. In order to facilitate this, the Board has adopted a policy limiting the number of boards considered appropriate for directors, having regard to whether they are independent directors or members of management. Specifically, in the case
of the CEO, he shall not sit on more than two outside public company boards in addition to that of the Company, and in the case of a non-management director, he shall not sit on more than five outside public
company boards in addition to that of the Company.

where practicable, the annual meeting of the shareholders of the Company. Directors are also expected to spend the time needed, and to meet as frequently as necessary, to discharge their responsibilities.

policies or codes duly approved dealing with business conduct and ethics.
