**Trulieve Cannabis Corp.** 

3494 Martin Hurst Road

Tallahassee, Florida 32312

**Notice of Special Meeting of Shareholders (the "Notice of Meeting")** 

The special meeting of shareholders (the "**Meeting**") of Trulieve Cannabis Corp., a British Columbia corporation (the "**Company**"), will be a virtual meeting held on August 5, 2026 beginning at 11:00 a.m. (Eastern Time), at <u>www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/TRLV2026SM.</u>

The following matters will be considered at the Meeting:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.To consider and, if thought advisable, to pass a special resolution to approve a plan of arrangement ("**Plan of Arrangement**") under Section 288 of the *Business Corporations Act* (British Columbia) (the "**BCBCA**") involving, among other things, the continuance of the Company from British Columbia to the State of Delaware, as more particularly described in the accompanying Proxy Statement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.To approve one or more adjournments of the Meeting, if necessary, to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes at the time of the Meeting to approve one or more proposals, including the Plan of Arrangement; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.To conduct any other business as may properly come before the Meeting or any adjournment(s) or postponements of the Meeting.

This Notice of Meeting is accompanied by the Proxy Statement and the accompanying form of proxy ("**Proxy Instrument**"). As permitted by applicable securities law, the Company is using notice-and-access to deliver the Proxy Statement to shareholders. This means that the Proxy Statement is being posted online to access, rather than being mailed out. Notice-and-access substantially reduces the Company's printing and mailing costs and is environmentally friendly as it reduces paper and energy consumption. **Shareholders will still receive a Proxy Instrument or a voting instruction form in the mail so they can vote their shares but, instead of receiving a paper copy of the Proxy Statement, they will receive a notice with information about how they can access the Proxy Statement electronically and how to request a paper copy.**

The record date for the determination of shareholders of the Company entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Meeting or any adjournment(s) or postponements of the Meeting is June 8, 2026 (the "**Record Date**"). Shareholders of the Company whose names have been entered in the register of shareholders of the Company at the close of business on the Record Date will be entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Meeting or any adjournment(s) or postponements of the Meeting.

Pursuant to the BCBCA, the Plan of Arrangement and an interim order made by the Supreme Court of British Columbia, each registered shareholder of the Company will be granted the right to dissent in respect of the special resolution approving the Plan of Arrangement. To exercise such dissent right: (a) a written notice of dissent must be received by the Company c/o DLA Piper (Canada) LLP, The Stack, 1133 Melville Street, Suite 2700, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6E 4E5, to the attention of Derek Bell by 5:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) on July 31, 2026 or the business day that is two business days before the Meeting or any date to which the Meeting may be postponed or adjourned; (b) such shareholder must not have voted in favor of the special resolution approving the Plan of Arrangement; and (c) such shareholder must have otherwise complied with the provisions of sections 237 to 247 of the BCBCA, as modified and supplemented by the Plan of Arrangement, the interim order and a final order made by the Court approving the Plan of Arrangement. The right to dissent is described in the Proxy Statement and the text of each of the Plan of Arrangement, sections 237 to 247 of the BCBCA and the interim order of the court, which are set forth in Appendices B, C and D, respectively, to the Proxy Statement.

Persons who are beneficial holders of the Company's shares registered in the name of a broker, custodian, nominee or other intermediary who wish to dissent in respect of the special resolution should be aware that only registered shareholders are

------

entitled to dissent. Accordingly, a beneficial shareholder desiring to exercise this right of dissent must make arrangements for the shares beneficially owned by such person to be registered in their name prior to the time the written notice of dissent to the special resolution is required to be received by the Company or, alternatively, make arrangements for the registered shareholder to dissent on their behalf.

Failure to strictly comply with the requirements set forth in sections 237 to 247 of the BCBCA, as modified and supplemented by the Plan of Arrangement, the interim order and the final order of the Court (if applicable), may result in the loss of any right of dissent with respect to the special resolution.

**A shareholder of the Company may attend the Meeting live via webcast or may be represented by proxy. Registered shareholders of the Company who are unable to attend the Meeting or any adjournment(s) or postponements of the Meeting via the webcast are requested to date, sign and return the accompanying Proxy Instrument for use at the Meeting or any adjournment(s) or postponements of the Meeting.** 

To be effective, the enclosed Proxy Instrument must be returned to Broadridge ("**Broadridge**") by mail using the enclosed return envelope to Vote Processing, c/o Broadridge, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, NY 11717. Alternatively, you may vote by Internet at *<u>www.proxyvote.com</u>* and clicking "<u>Vote</u>" or by calling 1-800-690-6903. All instructions are listed on the enclosed Proxy Instrument. Your proxy or voting instructions must be received in each case no later than 11:59 p.m. (Eastern Time) on August 4, 2026 or, if the Meeting is adjourned, at least 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and statutory holidays in the Province of British Columbia) before the beginning of any adjournment(s) to the Meeting.

Whether or not you plan to attend the Meeting via live webcast, we encourage you to read this Proxy Statement and promptly***<u>vote your shares</u>***. For specific instructions on how to vote your shares, please refer to the section entitled "*How You Can Vote*" and to the instructions on your proxy or voting instruction card.

**ABOUT THE SPECIAL MEETING AND VOTING**

**Proxy Materials**

***Why am I receiving these materials?***

Our Board is using this Proxy Statement to solicit proxies for use at the Meeting to be held via live webcast on August 5, 2026. The cost of any solicitation will be borne by the Company. Proxies may also be solicited personally by employees of the Company at nominal cost to the Company.

As a shareholder, you are invited to attend the Meeting and are entitled and requested to vote on the business items described in this Proxy Statement. This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by or on behalf of management of the Company and the Board. This Proxy Statement is designed to assist you in voting your shares and includes information that we are required to provide under the rules of the SEC and applicable Canadian securities laws.

These proxy materials are being sent to both registered and non-registered shareholders. In some instances, the Company has distributed copies of the Notice of Meeting, the Proxy Statement and the accompanying Proxy Instrument (collectively, the "**Documents**") to clearing agencies, securities dealers, banks and trust companies, or their nominees (collectively "**Intermediaries**", and each an "**Intermediary**") for onward distribution to shareholders whose shares are held by or in the custody of those Intermediaries ("**Non-registered Shareholders**"). The Intermediaries are required to forward the Documents to Non-registered Shareholders.

Solicitation of proxies from Non-registered Shareholders will be carried out by Intermediaries, or by the Company if the names and addresses of Non-registered Shareholders are provided by the Intermediaries.

Non-registered Shareholders who have received the Documents from their Intermediary should follow the directions of their Intermediary with respect to the procedure to be followed for voting at the Meeting. Generally, Non-registered Shareholders will either:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• receive a form of proxy executed by the Intermediary but otherwise uncompleted. The Non-registered Shareholder may complete the proxy and return it directly to Broadridge; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• be provided with a request for voting instructions. The Intermediary is required to send the Company an executed form of proxy completed in accordance with any voting instructions received by the Intermediary.

If you are a Non-registered Shareholder, and the Company or its agent has sent these materials directly to you, your name and address and information about your holdings of the Company's securities have been obtained from your Intermediary in accordance with applicable securities regulatory requirements. By choosing to send the Documents to you directly, the Company (and not your Intermediary) has assumed responsibility for: (i) delivering the Documents to you; and (ii) executing your proper voting instructions. Non-registered Shareholders who have elected to receive the Documents by electronic delivery ("**e-Delivery**") will have received e-mail notification from the Intermediary that the Documents are available electronically on the Company's website. Please return your voting instructions as specified in the request for voting instructions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Receiving Future Meeting Materials by Email** <br>e-Delivery ensures that shareholders receive documents faster, helps reduce printing and postage expenses and creates less paper waste. Shareholders who wish to enroll in e-Delivery may sign up at *<u>www.proxyvote.com</u>*.<br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a Proxy Instrument or voting instruction card.

***What information is contained in this Proxy Statement?***

The information in this Proxy Statement relates to the proposals to be voted on at the Meeting, the voting process and other required information.

***I share an address with another shareholder, and we received only one paper copy of the proxy materials. How may I obtain an additional copy?***

If you share an address with another shareholder, you may receive only one set of proxy materials unless you have provided contrary instructions. If you wish to receive a separate set of the materials, please request the additional copy by contacting our Corporate Secretary at *<u>IR@trulieve.com</u>* or by calling us at (844) 878-5438. A separate set of the materials will be sent promptly following receipt of your request.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• to approve by ordinary resolution one or more adjournments of the Meeting, if necessary, to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes at the time of the Meeting to approve the resolutions proposed at the Meeting, including the Arrangement Resolution (the "**Adjournment Proposal**"); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• to conduct any other business as may properly come before the Meeting or any adjournment(s) or postponements of the Meeting.

***How does the Board recommend that I vote?***

The Board recommends that you vote:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• "FOR" the Arrangement Resolution approving the Delaware Domestication.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• "FOR" the Adjournment Proposal.

***What vote is required to approve each item?***

To conduct business at the Meeting, the quorum of shareholders is two persons who are, or who represent by proxy, shareholders who, in the aggregate, hold at least one-third of the issued shares entitled to be voted at the Meeting.

*Proposal 1 – Approval of the Arrangement Resolution for the Delaware Domestication.* 

The Arrangement Resolution is a special resolution under the BCBCA and must be approved by: (i) at least 66 2/3% of the votes cast at the Meeting by the holders of Subordinate Voting Shares and the holders of Multiple Voting Shares (voting together as a single class); (ii) at least 66 2/3% of the votes cast at the Meeting by the holders of Subordinate Voting Shares (voting separately as a class); (iii) at least 66 2/3% of the votes cast at the Meeting by the holders of Multiple Voting Shares (voting separately as a class).

You may vote "FOR," "AGAINST" or "ABSTAIN" from voting on this proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted as "votes cast" and will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on the Arrangement Resolution.

Registered shareholders who wish to dissent from the Arrangement Resolution should refer to the section entitled "*Rights of Dissent*" in this Proxy Statement.

*Proposal 2 – The Adjournment Proposal.* 

The resolution to approve the Adjournment Proposal is an ordinary resolution under the BCBCA and must be approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present or represented by proxy at the Meeting.

You may vote "FOR," "AGAINST" or "ABSTAIN" from voting on this proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted as "votes cast" and will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on the ordinary resolution.

***Why is the Company proposing the Delaware Domestication?***

As a shareholder of the Company, you are invited to attend the Meeting and are entitled to vote on, among other things, a resolution approving the Delaware Domestication, which involves the Company continuing out from the jurisdiction of

------

British Columbia, Canada and its concurrent domestication in the State of Delaware in the United States, resulting in the Company becoming a Delaware corporation. We believe the Delaware Domestication will better reflect and align with our business and operational focus and strategic objectives, and will provide other expected and potential benefits.

We have the following principal reasons for proposing the Delaware Domestication:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• All of our operations are based in the United States and we have a much stronger business connection to the United States than to Canada or any other country.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We are subject to U.S. federal and state laws and regulations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We are a public company registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "**SEC**"), and our Subordinate Voting Shares are registered with the SEC and listed in the United States on the New York Stock Exchange (the "**NYSE**") under the trading symbol "TRLV".

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Company's financial statements and financial reporting are prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Delaware Domestication will streamline our organizational and regulatory structure all within the United States.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Delaware Domestication is intended to enhance shareholder value over the long term primarily by increasing the acceptance of the Company in the U.S. capital markets and improving the marketability of our stock.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Government entities, regulatory authorities, politicians, lenders and strategic partners in the United States are more familiar with, and may be more comfortable dealing with, U.S. corporations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Being incorporated in the U.S. may provide our shareholders and the investing community a greater comparability of our shareholder rights and corporate governance to other public companies generally.

Please see "PROPOSAL 1 – APPROVAL OF DELAWARE DOMESTICATION - *Benefits of the Delaware Domestication*" for more information.

***What happens if the Delaware Domestication is approved at the Meeting?***

The Company intends to complete the Delaware Domestication promptly after the Meeting if approved by the shareholders and subject to receipt of a final order by the Supreme Court of British Columbia (the "**Court**") approving the plan of arrangement. However, the Board may delay completion of the Delaware Domestication for some period of time after approval pending receipt of third-party consents or for other business reasons, or the Board may determine not to complete the Delaware Domestication.

***Will the Delaware Domestication dilute my ownership interest***?

No. The Delaware Domestication will not dilute your ownership interest in the Company. If the Delaware Domestication by way of the Plan of Arrangement takes place, immediately after the Plan of Arrangement is consummated you will own the same percentage of shares of the Delaware-governed company as you own in the British Columbia-governed company immediately prior to the completion of the Delaware Domestication.

***Why was Delaware selected as the U.S. jurisdiction of incorporation of the Company?***

We believe the favorable corporate environment afforded by Delaware will further the Company's strategic objectives and help the Company more effectively conduct its business, including in attracting and retaining skilled, experienced

------

personnel, and potential members of the Board. For many years, Delaware has followed a policy of encouraging incorporation in that state and, in furtherance of that policy, has adopted, construed and implemented comprehensive, flexible corporate laws and corporate governance responsive to the legal and business needs of corporations organized under its laws.

***What happens if additional items are presented at the Meeting?***

As of the date of this Proxy Statement, management of the Company knows of no such amendments, variations or other matters to come before the Meeting, other than if necessary, the Adjournment Proposal. However, if other matters properly come before the Meeting, it is the intention of the persons named in the enclosed Proxy Instrument to vote such proxy according to their best judgment.

***Where can I find the voting results?***

We expect to announce preliminary voting results at the Meeting and to publish final results in a current report on Form 8-K that we will file in the United States with the SEC and in a press release that we will file in Canada on SEDAR+ promptly following the Meeting. Both the Form 8-K and press release will also be available on the "Financials" section of our website at *<u>investors.trulieve.com</u>*<u>.</u>

***What if during the check-in period or during the Meeting I have technical difficulties or trouble accessing the virtual meeting website?***

We will have technicians ready to assist you with any technical difficulties you may have accessing the virtual Meeting. If you encounter any difficulties accessing the virtual Meeting during check-in or during the meeting, please call the technical support number that will be posted on the virtual Meeting login page (<u>www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/TRLV2026SM).</u>

**How You Can Vote** 

***What shares can I vote?***

You are entitled to vote all shares owned by you on the Record Date, including (1) shares held directly in your name as the shareholder of record and (2) shares held for you as the beneficial owner through a bank, broker or other nominee. At the close of business June 8, 2026, there were: (i) 323 shareholders of record holding 169,900,759 outstanding Subordinate Voting Shares, each of which is entitled to cast one (1) vote per Subordinate Voting Share; and (ii) 14 shareholders of record holding 224,063.86 outstanding Multiple Voting Shares, each of which is entitled to cast 100 votes per Multiple Voting Share.

**REGISTERED SHAREHOLDERS HAVE THE RIGHT TO APPOINT A PERSON TO REPRESENT HIM, HER OR IT AT THE MEETING OTHER THAN THE PERSON(S) DESIGNATED IN THE PROXY INSTRUMENT** either by striking out the names of the persons designated in the Proxy Instrument and by inserting the name of the person or company to be appointed in the space provided in the Proxy Instrument or by completing another proper form of proxy and, in either case, delivering the completed proxy to Broadridge by mail using the enclosed return envelope to Vote Processing, c/o Broadridge, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, NY 11717. Alternatively, you may vote by Internet at *<u>www.proxyvote.com</u>* and clicking "Vote" or by calling 1-800-690-6903.

***What is the difference between holding shares as a shareholder of record and as a beneficial owner?***

Many of our shareholders hold their shares through a bank, broker or other nominee rather than having the shares registered directly in their own name. Summarized below are some distinctions between shares held of record and those owned beneficially.

------

*Shareholder of Record* 

If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Odyssey Trust Company, you are the shareholder of record of the shares. As the shareholder of record, you have the right to grant a proxy to vote your shares to representatives from the Company or to another person, or to vote your shares electronically at the Meeting. You will receive a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials by either mail or email containing instructions on how to access and review proxy materials as well as directions on how to vote.

*Beneficial Owner* 

If your shares are held through a bank, broker or other nominee, it is likely that they are registered in the name of the nominee and you are the beneficial owner of shares held in street name.

As the beneficial owner of shares held for your account, you have the right to direct the registered holder to vote your shares as you instruct, and you also are invited to attend the Meeting. Your bank, broker, plan trustee or other nominee will provide a voting instruction card for you to use in directing how your shares are to be voted.

***How can I vote at the Meeting?***

The Meeting will be held entirely online to allow greater participation. Shareholders may participate in the Meeting by visiting the following website: <u>www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/TRLV2026SM</u>. To participate in the Meeting, you will need the 16-digit control number included on your Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, on your proxy card or on the instructions that accompanied your proxy materials. Shares held in your name as the shareholder of record may be voted electronically during the Meeting. Shares for which you are the beneficial owner but not the shareholder of record also may be voted electronically during the Meeting. If you are a beneficial owner and did not receive a 16-digit control number, please contact your broker, bank or other nominee for instructions on how to vote at the Meeting.

Even if you plan to attend the Meeting, we recommend that you submit your proxy or voting instructions as described below, so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to attend.

***How can I vote without attending the Meeting?***

Whether you hold your shares as a shareholder of record or as a beneficial owner, you may direct how your shares are to be voted without attending the Meeting or any adjournment(s) or postponements of the Meeting. If you are a shareholder of record, you may vote by submitting a proxy. Each registered shareholder submitting a proxy has the right to appoint one or more proxy holders (but not more than five) to represent the shareholder at the Meeting to the extent and with the powers conferred by the proxy. If you hold shares as a beneficial owner, you may vote by submitting voting instructions to the registered owner of your shares.

For directions on how to vote, please refer to the following instructions and those included on your proxy or voting instruction card. A proxy form will not be valid unless completed and deposited in accordance with the instructions set out in the proxy form.

*Voting by Internet* 

Shareholders may vote over the Internet by following the instructions on the proxy or voting instruction card.

*Voting by Phone* 

Shareholders may vote by phone by dialing 1-800-690-6903 from any touch-tone telephone with the proxy or voting instruction card in hand and following the instructions.

------

*Voting by Mail* 

Shareholders may vote by mail by signing, dating and returning their proxy or voting instruction card to the following address:

Vote Processing, c/o Broadridge

51 Mercedes Way

Edgewood, NY 11717

***How do I attend the virtual Meeting?***

This year's Meeting will be a completely virtual meeting of shareholders, which will be conducted via live webcast. You are entitled to participate in the Meeting only if you were a registered shareholder as of the close of business on June 8, 2026 or if you hold a valid proxy to vote at the Meeting.

You will be able to attend the Meeting online by visiting <u>www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/TRLV2026SM</u>. You will also be able to vote your shares electronically at the Meeting. To participate, you will need your 16-digit control number included in your proxy materials, on your proxy card, or on the instructions that accompanied your proxy materials.

The Meeting will begin promptly at 11:00 a.m., Eastern Time. We encourage you to access the Meeting prior to the start time. Online access will open at 10:45 a.m., Eastern Time, and you should allow ample time to log in to the Meeting webcast and test your computer audio system. Technical assistance will be available if you have difficulty logging into the Meeting via a telephone number that will be posted on the login page to the Meeting.

We recommend that you carefully review the procedures needed to gain admission in advance. If you do not comply with the procedures described here for attending the Meeting online, you will not be able to participate online.

***What will I need to attend the virtual Meeting?***

If you were a shareholder of record as of the close of business on June 8, 2026, or you hold a valid proxy for the Meeting, you may attend the Meeting and vote by visiting <u>www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/TRLV2026SM</u> and using your 16-digit control number to enter the Meeting. If you are not a shareholder of record but hold shares as a beneficial owner in street name and did not receive a 16-digit control number, you may join the meeting by obtaining a proxy from the owner of record. If you do not comply with the procedures outlined above, you may join the Meeting as a guest, as described below.

***Will I be able to attend the Meeting without a 16-digit control number?***

Yes, you may register to attend the Meeting as a guest, but you will not be able to vote at the Meeting without your 16-digit control number.

***Why a virtual Meeting?***

We are excited to once again embrace virtual meeting technology, which we believe provides expanded access, improved communications and cost and time savings for our shareholders and the Company. A virtual meeting enables increased shareholder attendance from locations around the world. We believe the cost and time savings afforded by a virtual meeting encourages more shareholders to attend the Meeting, and, importantly, will reduce our environmental impact.

You will be able to attend the Meeting online by visiting <u>www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/TRLV2026SM</u>. You will also be able to vote your shares electronically at the Meeting. We encourage you to vote your shares prior to the Meeting to ensure they are represented. Even if you submit a vote prior to the Meeting, you will have an opportunity to vote again during the Meeting and automatically revoke your earlier vote.

If you encounter any difficulties accessing the virtual Meeting during check-in or during the meeting, please call the technical support number that will be posted on the virtual Meeting login page (<u>www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/TRLV2026SM</u>).

Shares represented by properly executed proxies in favor of persons designated in the printed portion of the enclosed Proxy Instrument **WILL, UNLESS OTHERWISE INDICATED, BE VOTED <u>FOR</u> THE ARRANGEMENT RESOLUTION APPROVING THE DELAWARE DOMESTICATION, AND <u>FOR</u> THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL**. The shares represented by the Proxy Instrument will be voted or withheld from voting in accordance with the instructions of the shareholder 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. The enclosed Proxy Instrument confers discretionary authority on the persons named therein with respect to amendments or variations to matters identified in the Notice or other matters which may properly come before the Meeting. As of the date of this Proxy Statement, management of the Company knows of no such amendments, variations or other matters to come before the Meeting, other than, if necessary, the Adjournment Proposal. However, if other matters properly come before the Meeting, it is the intention of the persons named in the enclosed Proxy Instrument to vote such proxy according to their best judgment.

***Will shares I hold in my brokerage account be voted if I do not provide timely voting instructions?***

If your shares are held through a brokerage firm, they will be voted as you instruct on the voting instruction card provided by your broker. If you sign and return your card without giving specific instructions, your shares will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of our Board.

Your broker will not have the authority, and will be prohibited from voting your shares on any of the proposals presented without your instructions. These "broker non-votes" will be counted only for the purpose of determining whether a quorum is present at the Meeting and not as votes cast. Such broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the matter.

***Will shares that I own as a shareholder of record be voted if I do not timely return my proxy card?***

Shares that you own as a shareholder of record will be voted as you instruct on your proxy card. If you sign and return your proxy card without giving specific instructions, they will be voted in accordance with the procedure set out above under the heading "*How will my shares be voted?*"

If you do not timely return your proxy card, your shares will not be voted unless you or your proxy holder attends the Meeting via the live webcast and any adjournment(s) or postponements of the Meeting and votes electronically submitted during the Meeting as described above under the heading "*How can I vote at the Meeting?*"

------

***When is the deadline to vote?***

If you hold shares as the shareholder of record, your vote by proxy must be received before 11:59 p.m. (Eastern Time) on August 4, 2026 or 48 hours prior to any adjournment(s) of the Meeting or must be deposited at the Meeting with the chairman of the Meeting before the commencement of the Meeting or any adjournment(s) or postponements of the Meeting.

If you hold shares as a beneficial owner, please follow the voting instructions provided by your bank, broker or other nominee.

***May I change or revoke my vote?***

A shareholder who has given a proxy pursuant to this solicitation may revoke it at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the day of the Meeting or any adjournment(s) or postponements of the Meeting at which the proxy is to be used:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• by an instrument in writing executed by the shareholder or by his, her or its attorney authorized in writing and either delivered to the attention of the Corporate Secretary of the Company by mail using the enclosed return envelope to Vote Processing, c/o Broadridge, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, NY 11717;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• by delivering written notice of such revocation to the chairman of the Meeting prior to the commencement of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting or any adjournment(s) or postponements of the Meeting; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• in any other manner permitted by law.

For shares you hold as a beneficial owner, you may change your vote by timely submitting new voting instructions to your bank, broker or other nominee (which revokes your earlier instructions), or, if you have obtained a legal proxy from the nominee giving you the right to vote your shares, by attending the Meeting and voting via the live webcast.

**Description of the Company's Voting Securities**

The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of Subordinate Voting Shares and an unlimited number of Multiple Voting Shares.

At the close of business on June 8, 2026, there were: (i) 323 shareholders of record holding 169,900,759 outstanding Subordinate Voting Shares; and (ii) 14 shareholders of record holding 224,063.86 outstanding Multiple Voting Shares. Each Subordinate Voting Share is entitled to cast one (1) vote per Subordinate Voting Share and each Multiple Voting Share is entitled to cast one hundred (100) votes per Multiple Voting Share.

The Subordinate Voting Shares and Multiple Voting Shares are "restricted securities" within the meaning of such term under applicable Canadian securities laws. Under Canadian securities laws, a "restricted security" means an equity security of a reporting issuer if, among other things, there is another class of securities of the reporting issuer that carries a greater number of votes per security relative to the equity security. As of June 8, 2026, the Subordinate Voting Shares represent approximately 88.35% of voting rights attached to outstanding securities of the Company and the Multiple Voting Shares represent approximately 11.65% of voting rights attached to outstanding securities of the Company.

The total number of equity shares assuming all are converted into Subordinate Voting Shares as of June 8, 2026 would be 192,307,145.

Holders of Subordinate Voting Shares are entitled to notice of and to attend at any meeting of the shareholders of the Company (other than a meeting of which only holders of another particular class or series of shares of the Company have the right to vote). At each such meeting, holders of Subordinate Voting Shares are entitled to one vote in respect of each Subordinate Voting Share held.

Holders of Multiple Voting Shares are entitled to notice of and to attend any meeting of the shareholders of the Company (other than a meeting of which only holders of another particular class or series of shares of the Company have the right to vote). At each such meeting, holders of Multiple Voting Shares are entitled to one vote in respect of each Subordinate Voting Share into which such Multiple Voting Share could then be converted (currently 100 votes per Multiple Voting Share held).

**Notice-and-Access**

The Company is using the "Notice-and-Access" provisions of applicable securities laws under Rule 14a-16 under the Exchange Act. Under Notice-and-Access, companies may post electronic versions of meeting materials on a website for investor access and review and will make such documents available in hard copy upon request at no cost. Notice-and-Access substantially reduces the Company's printing and mailing costs and is environmentally friendly as it reduces paper and energy consumption. The Notice of Meeting and this Proxy Statement are available on the "Financials" section of our website at *<u>investors.trulieve.com</u>*, the SEC's website at *<u>www.sec.gov</u> and* SEDAR+ at *<u>www.sedarplus.ca</u>*.

**INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN MATTERS TO BE ACTED ON AT THE MEETING** 

Other than as set forth in this Proxy Statement, no person who has been a director or executive officer of the Company at any time since the beginning of the last fiscal year, nor any associate or affiliate of any of the foregoing, has any material interest, directly or indirectly, by way of beneficial ownership of securities or otherwise, in any matter to be acted upon at the Meeting.

**SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT** 

The following table provides information regarding the beneficial ownership of our Subordinate Voting Shares and Multiple Voting Shares, as of June 8, 2026, by:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• each person or entity, or group of affiliated persons or entities, known by us to beneficially own more than 5% of our Subordinate Voting Shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• each of our directors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• each of our named executive officers; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• all of our executive officers and directors as a group.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to securities. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, any Multiple Voting Shares and Subordinate Voting Shares that a person has the right to acquire within sixty (60) days of June 8, 2026 through the exercise of stock options, warrants, or other rights are deemed outstanding, but are not deemed outstanding for computing the percentage ownership of any other person. To our knowledge, except as set forth in the footnotes to this table and subject to applicable community property laws, each person

------

**PROPOSAL 1: APPROVAL OF DELAWARE DOMESTICATION**

**THE DELAWARE DOMESTICATION**

At the Meeting, the holders of Subordinate Voting Shares and Multiple Voting Shares will be asked to consider, and if thought advisable, to pass, with or without variation, a special resolution, the text of which is set out in Appendix A (the "**Arrangement Resolution**") to approve a plan of arrangement (the "**Plan of Arrangement**") under Section 288 of the BCBCA involving, among other things, the continuance of the Company out from the jurisdiction of British Columbia and domesticate as a corporation under section 388 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "**DGCL**") under the same corporate name "Trulieve Cannabis Corp." (the "**Delaware Domestication**").

Pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement, and subject to the terms of the Plan of Arrangement being satisfied or waived, the Delaware Domestication shall be effected, including (i) the adoption of the Certificate of Domestication, the Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws in the forms attached as Schedules A, B and C, respectively, to the Plan of Arrangement attached to this Proxy Statement as Appendix B, (ii) the adoption of the authorized capital structure contemplated in the charter documents, and (iii) the continuation of the Company as a Delaware corporation.

Readers are encouraged to carefully review the Plan of Arrangement attached to this Proxy Statement as Appendix B, as it contains the specific terms and conditions governing the Plan of Arrangement, including the Delaware Domestication.

**Benefits of the Delaware Domestication**

The Board and management believe that the Delaware Domestication will benefit the Company and its shareholders for, among others, the following reasons:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• All of the Company's operations are based in the United States and the Company has a stronger business connection to the United States than to Canada or any other country.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Company is subject to U.S. federal and state laws and regulations. We are subject to the federal laws of the United States and the laws of the U.S. states in which we operate, including the rules and regulations of the SEC and of state cannabis governmental authorities, including those in Delaware.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We are a public company registered with the SEC, and our Subordinate Voting Shares are registered with the SEC and listed in the United States on the NYSE under the trading symbol "TRLV".

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Board believes that reorganizing as a U.S. corporation will enhance shareholder value by increasing acceptance in U.S. capital markets, as shares of a Delaware corporation may be more accessible to U.S. institutional investors than shares of a Canadian corporation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Company's financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and not International Financial Reporting Standards.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• If U.S. cannabis banking laws are reformed, we believe that the Company will have access to additional funding sources as a U.S. corporation rather than being a Canadian corporation, which should provide opportunities for improved financing terms.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Having the Company incorporated in the United States, instead of a non-U.S. jurisdiction, may help address and streamline regulatory matters with U.S. governmental entities and improve interactions with U.S. governmental authorities, politicians and agencies.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Delaware has a strong, developed corporate case law and more code-based corporate governance regime than British Columbia, which may provide more predictability and certainty in decision making for the Company and our shareholders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The favorable corporate environment afforded by Delaware may help the Company more effectively conduct its business, including by attracting and retaining skilled, experienced personnel, and potential members of the Board. For many years, Delaware has followed a policy of encouraging incorporation in Delaware and, in furtherance of that policy, has adopted, construed and implemented comprehensive, flexible corporate laws responsive to the legal and business needs of corporations organized under its laws.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Being incorporated in the U.S. may provide the Company's shareholders and the investing community a greater comparability of the Company's shareholder rights and corporate governance to other public companies generally.

The Board and management believe that the potential benefits of the change in domicile outweigh the disadvantages and make the proposed Delaware Domestication beneficial to the Company and our shareholders. The Board and management will continue to evaluate the potential benefits and disadvantages of the Delaware Domestication, including prior to making a determination to implement the Delaware Domestication.

**Potential Disadvantages of the Delaware Domestication**

Despite the belief of the Board and management that the Delaware Domestication is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders, it should be noted that the laws of the State of Delaware may not afford shareholders the same substantive rights and protections as are available under the laws of British Columbia. In particular, shareholders should note that the Delaware Domestication includes certain permitted changes to the Company's governing documents which alter the relative rights of shareholders and management and which may reduce shareholder participation in certain corporate decisions. In addition, following the Delaware Domestication, the Company may be subject to a heightened risk of securities class actions or derivative lawsuits, which can result in substantial costs and divert management time and resources, even if such class actions or lawsuits are without merit. Shareholders should carefully review the section entitled "*Comparison of Shareholders' Rights Under British Columbia and Delaware Law*" and "*Risk Factors*" in this Proposal 1.

**Steps to Completing the Delaware Domestication**

If the required shareholder approval of the Arrangement Resolution is obtained, and the Court grants the Final Order (as defined below), the following steps must then be taken to give effect to the Delaware Domestication:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the Board must determine to proceed with the Delaware Domestication;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the Company will file an application for authorization to continue out of British Columbia with the British Columbia Registrar of Companies (the "**Registrar**") to proceed with the continuance of the Company from British Columbia to Delaware as part of the Delaware Domestication and such authorization must be granted; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the Company will file the Certificate of Domestication and Certificate of Incorporation, each in the form prescribed by the DGCL, with the Delaware Secretary of State. The Certificate of Incorporation will include a statement, required by Section 388(m) of the DGCL, that no action by the board of directors or stockholders of the Company under the DGCL is required to authorize the filing of the Certificate of Incorporation, as the domestication was duly authorized pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement approved under the BCBCA and by the Final Order of the Supreme Court of British Columbia.

------

**Effect of the Delaware Domestication on Shareholders**

Upon completion of the Delaware Domestication, the Company will cease to be a corporation organized under the laws of British Columbia and will be deemed to have been incorporated under and will be subject to the laws of Delaware and will be governed by the Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws.

At the effective time of the Delaware Domestication (the "**Effective Time**"):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• each Subordinate Voting Share or Multiple Voting Share, as applicable, held by a Dissenting Shareholder (as defined below) will be transferred by the holder thereof, without any further act or formality on its part, free and clear of all liens, claims, encumbrances, defect of title, or restrictions, to the Company and such share will be cancelled, and in exchange the respective Dissenting Shareholder will be entitled to be paid by the Company the fair market value of such Subordinate Voting Share or Multiple Voting Share, as applicable, in accordance with the Plan of Arrangement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the Delaware Domestication will become effective, and the Company will be domesticated in the State of Delaware and will continue as a corporation under the DGCL in accordance with the following:

oname of the Company will remain "Trulieve Cannabis Corp.";

othe current certificate of continuance, the current notice of Articles of the Company (the "**BC Notice of Articles**") and the current articles of the Company (the "**BC Articles**") will be cancelled and substituted with the Certificate of Domestication and the Certificate of Incorporation, each as filed with the Delaware Secretary of State, and the Bylaws, in the forms attached as Schedules A, B and C, respectively, to the Plan of Arrangement;

othe number of directors on the Board will initially be set at seven;

othe authorized capital of the Company will be amended to consist of: (A) 5,000,300,000 authorized shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "**Delaware Common Stock**") divided into two classes as follows: (i) 5,000,000,000 shares of Class A subordinate voting Common Stock (the "**Delaware Subordinate Voting Share**s"), and (ii) 300,000 shares of Class B multiple voting Common Stock (the "**Delaware Multiple Voting Shares**"); and (B) 1,000,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "**Delaware Preferred Stock**");

amending the maximum number of authorized shares and altering the identifying name of the unlimited Subordinate Voting Shares without par value to 5,000,000,000 authorized Delaware Subordinate Voting Shares, and deleting the special rights and restrictions attached to the Subordinate Voting Shares as set out in the BC Articles and attaching the special rights and restrictions as set out in the Certificate of Incorporation;

amending the maximum number of authorized shares and altering the identifying name of the unlimited Multiple Voting Shares without par value to 300,000 authorized Delaware Multiple Voting Shares, and deleting the special rights and restrictions attached to the Multiple Voting Shares as set out in the BC Articles and attaching the special rights and restrictions as set out in the Certificate of Incorporation;

authorizing 1,000,000,000 shares of Delaware Preferred Stock and attaching the special rights and restrictions to the Delaware Preferred Stock as set out in the Certificate of Incorporation; and

removing the Super Voting Shares, of which no shares are outstanding, and deleting the special rights and restrictions attached to the Super Voting Shares as set out in the BC Articles;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• each outstanding Subordinate Voting Share (for greater certainty, other than shares held by Dissenting Shareholders) will be converted into and exchanged for one (1) Delaware Subordinate Voting Share;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• each outstanding Multiple Voting Share (for greater certainty, other than shares held by Dissenting Shareholders) will be converted into and exchanged for one (1) Delaware Multiple Voting Share;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• each outstanding stock option ("**Company Option**") will be converted into and exchanged for an option ("**Delaware Option**") to purchase Delaware Subordinate Voting Shares on equivalent terms pursuant to the terms of our equity-based 2021 third amended and restated omnibus incentive plan (the "**2021 Plan**");

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• each outstanding restricted stock unit ("**Company RSU**") will be converted into and exchanged for a restricted stock unit ("**Delaware RSU**") representing the right to receive Delaware Subordinate Voting Shares on equivalent terms pursuant to the terms of the 2021 Plan;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• each outstanding performance stock unit ("**Company PSU**") will be converted into and exchanged for a performance stock unit ("**Delaware PSU**") representing the right to receive Delaware Subordinate Voting Shares on equivalent terms pursuant to the terms of the 2021 Plan;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• all the property, rights, interests, privileges and powers of the Company will continue to be property, rights, interests, privileges and powers of the Company, and all debt due to the Company, all subsidiaries of the Company, all rights under all contracts and all other causes of action belonging to the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time will remain vested in the Company following the Effective Time;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• all debts, liabilities, obligations and duties of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time, including the 10.5% senior secured notes of the Company due on December 17, 2030 (the "**2030 Notes**"), will remain attached to the Company following the Effective Time and will remain debts, liabilities, obligations and duties of the Company; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an existing cause of action, claim or liability to prosecution is unaffected, a legal proceeding being prosecuted or pending by or against the Company may be prosecuted or its prosecution may be continued, as the case may be, by or against the Company following the Effective Time, and a conviction against, or a ruling, order or judgment in favor of or against, the Company may be enforced by or against the Company following the Effective Time.

Shareholders will not experience any dilution of their ownership interest in the Company as a result of the Delaware Domestication. Following the Delaware Domestication, the Company expects that the Delaware Subordinate Voting Shares will continue to be listed for trading on the NYSE in place of the Subordinate Voting Shares, and the trading symbols are expected to remain the same.

The members of the Board and officers of the Company are not expected to change as a result of the Delaware Domestication.

The Delaware Domestication is not expected to cause any material change in the Company's business or operations.

**Treatment of Securities following the Delaware Domestication**

On the effective date of the Plan of Arrangement (the "**Effective Date**") (being the date designated by the Company in writing as the effective date of the Delaware Domestication and of filing of the Certificate of Domestication and Certificate of Incorporation in the office of the Delaware Secretary of State, after all the conditions to the completion of the Arrangement as set out in the Plan of Arrangement and the Final Order have been satisfied or waived):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Holders of Subordinate Voting Shares will become holders of Delaware Subordinate Voting Shares and any share certificates or book entries representing the Subordinate Voting Shares will be deemed to represent an identical number of Delaware Subordinate Voting Shares.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Holders of Multiple Voting Shares will become holders of shares of Delaware Multiple Voting Shares and any share certificates or book entries representing the Multiple Voting Shares will be deemed to represent an identical number of Delaware Multiple Voting Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Holders of Company Options will be holders of Delaware Options to acquire an identical number of Delaware Subordinate Voting Shares at the same exercise price per share. Any document previously evidencing Company Options will thereafter evidence Delaware Options and no option agreements evidencing the Delaware Options will be required to be issued and the Delaware Options will be governed by and be subject to the 2021 Plan and applicable award agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Holders of Company RSUs will be holders of Delaware RSUs to receive an identical number of Delaware Subordinate Voting Shares. Any document previously evidencing Company RSUs will thereafter evidence the Delaware RSUs and no award agreements evidencing the Delaware RSUs will be required to be issued and the Delaware RSUs will be governed by and be subject to the 2021 Plan and applicable award agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Holders of Company PSUs will be holders of Delaware PSUs to receive an identical number of Delaware Subordinate Voting Shares. Any document previously evidencing Company PSUs will thereafter evidence the Delaware PSUs and no award agreements evidencing the Delaware PSUs will be required to be issued and the Delaware PSUs will be governed by and be subject to the 2021 Plan and applicable award agreement.

**Conditions to Completion of the Delaware Domestication**

The obligation of the Company to complete the Delaware Domestication is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the Delaware Domestication must be approved by the shareholders in the manner set forth in the Interim Order (as defined below);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the Final Order must be obtained from the Court in form and substance satisfactory to the Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the authorization from the Registrar to proceed with the continuance must be obtained;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• all other consents, orders and approvals, including regulatory and judicial approvals and orders required or necessary or desirable for the completion of the transactions provided for in the Plan of Arrangement must have been obtained or received from the persons, authorities or bodies having jurisdiction in the circumstances;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• there will not be in force any order or decree restraining or enjoining the consummation of the transactions provided for in the Plan of Arrangement and there will be no suit, action or proceeding (other than an appeal made in connection with the Plan of Arrangement), of a judicial or administrative nature or otherwise, brought by a governmental entity in progress, pending or threatened that relates to or results from the transactions contemplated by the Plan of Arrangement that would, if successful, result in an order or ruling that would preclude completion of the transactions contemplated by the Plan of Arrangement in accordance with its terms or would otherwise be inconsistent with the regulatory approvals which have been obtained; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the Board will have determined, in its discretion, to proceed with the Delaware Domestication.

**Comparison of Shareholders' Rights Under British Columbia and Delaware Law**

The Company is currently governed by the BCBCA and the BC Articles. Upon completion of the Delaware Domestication, the Company will be governed by the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws (together, the "**Delaware Governing Documents**").

------

Differences between the DGCL and the BCBCA will result in various changes in the rights of shareholders. The following is a summary description of the more significant differences. This summary description is qualified by reference to the DGCL and the BCBCA and the BC Articles.

While it is not practical to summarize all of the legal differences between the rights of holders of Delaware Subordinate Voting Shares and Delaware Multiple Voting Shares as governed by the DGCL and the rights of holders of Subordinate Voting Shares and Multiple Voting Shares as governed by the BCBCA, certain principal differences that could materially affect the rights of holders of Subordinate Voting Shares and Multiple Voting Shares are set forth below. The following summary is not a substitute for direct reference to applicable legislation (Delaware and British Columbia), the BC Articles, the Certificate of Domestication, the Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws, or for professional interpretation of such documents, and is qualified by reference thereto. **The following summary does not purport to be complete or exhaustive and shareholders should therefore consult their legal and tax advisors regarding the implications of the Delaware Domestication which may be of particular importance to them.**

Shareholders should carefully review the Delaware Governing Documents, including the Certificate of Incorporation attached as Schedule B to the Plan of Arrangement and the Bylaws attached as Schedule C to the Plan of Arrangement.

| | **Delaware** | **British Columbia** |
| **Quorum of Shareholders** | Under the DGCL, the certificate of incorporation or bylaws may specify the number of shares that must be present in person or represented by proxy at any meeting in order to constitute a quorum, provided that, in no event shall a quorum consist of less than one-third of the shares entitled to vote at the meeting, except that, where a separate vote by a class or series is required, a quorum shall consist of no less than one-third of the shares of such class or series. In the absence of such specification in the certificate or bylaws, a majority of the shares entitled to vote shall constitute a quorum. <br>The Bylaws state that a quorum for the transaction of business at a meeting of stockholders is one-third of the voting power of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting. | The BCBCA provides that the quorum for the transaction of business at a meeting of shareholders is the quorum established by the articles of the company. If no quorum is established by the articles, the quorum is two shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting whether present personally or by proxy. If the number of shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting is less than the quorum applicable to the company, then all of the shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting, whether present personally or by proxy, will constitute quorum.<br>In accordance with the BC Articles, subject to the special rights and restrictions attached to the shares of any class or series of shares, the quorum for the transaction of business at a meeting of shareholders is two shareholders who are present in person or represented by proxy, who hold, in the aggregate, at least 5% of the issued shares entitled to vote at the meeting. |

|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Delaware** | **British Columbia** |
| **Required Vote Generally** | Under the DGCL, the certificate of incorporation or bylaws may specify the votes that shall be necessary for the transaction of business by the corporation. In the absence of such specification in the certificate of incorporation or bylaws, in all matters other than the election of directors, the affirmative vote of a majority of shares present or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter shall be the act of the stockholders and, with respect to the election of directors, a plurality of the votes present or represented by proxy at a meeting and entitled to vote shall be required for election.<br>The Bylaws generally provide that action by the stockholders on a matter, other than the election of directors, is approved if the number of votes cast in favor of the action exceeds the number of votes cast in opposition to the action and that directors will be elected by a plurality vote, provided that, if the rules and requirements of the exchange on which the Company's shares are then listed require a different voting standard for the election of directors, directors will be elected in accordance with the rules and requirements of such exchange. | Under the BCBCA, an ordinary resolution is required to pass most matters at a shareholders' meeting. An "**ordinary resolution**" means a resolution passed by a simple majority of the votes cast by shareholders voting shares that carry the right to vote at general meetings, or passed, after being submitted to all of the shareholders holding shares that carry the right to vote at general meetings, by being consented to in writing by shareholders holding shares that carry the right to vote at general meetings who, in the aggregate, hold shares carrying at least a special majority of the votes entitled to be cast on the resolution.<br>Under the BCBCA, directors are elected by a plurality of votes cast by the shareholders voting shares that carry the right to vote at general meetings. In certain circumstances, directors may be appointed by an ordinary resolution. |
| **Required Vote for Mergers, Conversions, Exchange and Sale of Assets** | Under the DGCL, a sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of a corporation's assets, a merger or consolidation of a corporation with another corporation or a dissolution of a corporation generally requires the approval of the corporation's board of directors and, with limited exceptions, the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding stock entitled to vote on the transaction.<br>Subject to a number of requirements (including a requirement that the corporation have a class or series of stock that is listed on a national securities exchange or held of record by more than 2,000 holders immediately prior to the execution of the merger agreement by the corporation), Section 251(h) of the DGCL permits merger agreements to provide that no stockholder vote is required to consummate a second-step merger following the completion of a tender or exchange offer for shares that, absent Section 251(h) of the DGCL, would be entitled to vote on the adoption of the merger agreement. <br>Additionally, Section 253 of the DGCL permits a corporation to merge with a subsidiary corporation without a vote of stockholders of the subsidiary if the parent owns ninety percent (90%) or more of the outstanding shares of each class of the subsidiary's stock that would otherwise be entitled to vote on the merger (provided that certain other requirements are met).<br>The Certificate of Incorporation does not contain any specific provisions that depart from these provisions of the DGCL. | Certain extraordinary corporate actions such as certain amalgamations, continuances, sales of substantially all the undertaking of a company other than in the ordinary course of business, and certain other extraordinary corporate actions such as liquidations or dissolution require authorizations by special resolution. A "**special resolution**" means a resolution approved by not less than a special majority, being two-thirds of the votes cast at a general meeting called for the purpose of considering the special resolution, or a resolution passed by being consented to in writing by all of the shareholders holding shares that carry the right to vote at general meetings. |

| **Amendments to the BC Notice of Articles and BC Articles and the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws** | Under the DGCL, except in certain limited circumstances, every amendment to the certificate of incorporation must be made in the following manner:<br>• The proposed amendment must be approved by the board of directors and submitted to the stockholders for approval.<br>• The proposed amendment requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding stock of each class entitled to vote thereon as a class. If any proposed amendment would increase or decrease the aggregate number of authorized shares of a class, increase or decrease the par value of the shares of a class, or alter or change the powers, preferences or special rights of a class or series so as to affect them adversely, then the amendment must also be approved by the holders of a majority of the outstanding stock of such class or series affected by such amendment whether or not entitled to vote thereon by the certificate of incorporation. The number of authorized shares of a class may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the stock of the corporation entitled to vote, and not by the individual class, if so provided in the original certificate of incorporation. The Certificate of Incorporation includes such a provision with respect to each class of stock of the Company.<br>Different series of the same class of shares do not constitute different classes of shares for the purpose of voting by classes except when the series is adversely affected by an amendment in a different manner than other series of the same class.<br>The DGCL provides that the power to adopt, amend or repeal bylaws of the corporation shall be in the stockholders entitled to vote. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the DGCL also provides that the certificate of incorporation may confer the power to adopt, amend or repeal bylaws upon the board of directors. The fact that such power has been so conferred upon the directors shall not divest the stockholders of the power, nor limit their power to adopt, amend or repeal bylaws.<br>The Certificate of Incorporation specifically provides that the Bylaws may be amended by the Board. | Under the BCBCA, an alteration to the articles or notice of articles of a company may require a resolution to be passed by: (i) the type of resolution specified by the BCBCA; (ii) if not specified by the BCBCA, the type of resolution specified by the articles; or (iii) if neither contain such a provision, a special resolution (as defined above). The BCBCA does allow certain capital alterations and alterations to the articles and notice of articles to be approved by an ordinary resolution (simple majority) of shareholders or by the directors, subject to the articles of the company.<br>The Company currently has provisions in the BC Articles that permit alterations to the Notice of Articles, BC Articles and share structure in some circumstances by directors resolution, subject to any further requirements under the BCBCA, including, *inter alia*, to:<br>• create or more classes or series of shares or, if none of the shares of a class or series of shares are allotted or issued, eliminate that class or series of shares;<br>• increase, reduce or eliminate the maximum number of shares that the Company is authorized to issue out of any class or series of shares or established a maximum number of shares that the Company is authorized to issue out of any class or series of shares for which no maximum is established;<br>• subdivide or consolidate all or any of its issued or fully paid issued shares; <br>• change all or any of the unissued or fully paid issues shares with no par value into shares without par value; <br>• alter the identifying name of any of its shares; or<br>• otherwise alter its shares or authorized share structure when required or permitted to do so by the BCBCA. <br>In addition, the BC Articles also provide that, if the BCBCA does not specify the type of resolution and the BC Articles do not specify another type of resolution, the Company may by special resolution alter the BC Articles. |

| **Size of Board; Director Qualifications** | Under the DGCL, each director must be a natural person. Directors need not be stockholders unless so required by the certificate of incorporation or the bylaws. The certificate of incorporation and bylaws of a corporation may prescribe other qualifications for directors.<br>Under the DGCL, a corporation must have at least one director, and may provide in its certificate of incorporation or in its bylaws for a fixed number of directors or a variable number of directors, and may otherwise provide for the manner in which the number of directors may be increased or decreased. | Pursuant to the BCBCA, a public company must have at least three directors.<br>Under the BCBCA, an individual is not qualified to become or act as a director of a company if that individual is (a) under the age of 18 years; (b) found by a court, in Canada or elsewhere, to be incapable of managing the individual's own affairs, unless a court, in Canada or elsewhere, subsequently finds otherwise; (b.1) a person in respect of whom a certificate of incapability is issued under the *Adult Guardianship Act*, unless the certificate is subsequently cancelled under section 37 (4) of that Act (c) an undischarged bankrupt, or (d) convicted in or out of British Columbia of an offence in connection with the promotion, formation or management of a corporation or unincorporated business, or of an offence involving fraud, unless (i) the court orders otherwise, (ii) 5 years have elapsed since the last to occur of (A) the expiration of the period set for suspension of the passing of sentence without a sentence having been passed, (B) the imposition of a fine, (C) the conclusion of the term of any imprisonment, and (D) the conclusion of the term of any probation imposed, or (iii) a pardon was granted or issued, or a record suspension was ordered, under the *Criminal Records Act* (Canada) and the pardon or record suspension, as the case may be, has not been revoked or ceased to have effect. A director who ceases to be qualified to act as a director of a company must promptly resign. |

| **Removal of Directors** | Under the DGCL, any or all directors may be removed, with or without cause, by the holders of a majority of shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors unless the certificate of incorporation of a corporation with a classified board otherwise provides, or in the case of a corporation that has cumulative voting. | Under the BCBCA, a company may remove a director before the expiration of the director's term of office by a special resolution, or, if the articles provide that a director may be removed by a resolution of the shareholders entitled to vote at general meetings passed by less than a special majority or may be removed by some other method, by the resolution or method specified. Further, if the shareholders holding shares of a class or series of shares of a company have the exclusive right to elect or appoint one or more directors, a director so elected or appointed may only be removed by a special resolution passed by at least two-thirds of the votes cast by those shareholders, or, if the articles provide, by some other method or resolution specified therein.<br>Under the BC Articles, the Company may remove any director before the expiration of his or her term of office by special resolution. In that event, the shareholders may elect, or appoint by ordinary resolution, a director to fill the resulting vacancy. If the shareholders do not elect or appoint a director to fill the resulting vacancy contemporaneously with the removal, then the directors may appoint or the shareholders may elect, or appoint by ordinary resolution, a director to fill that vacancy. The directors may remove any director before the expiration of his or her term of office if the director is convicted of an indictable offence, or if the director ceases to be qualified to act as a director of a company and does not promptly resign, and the directors may appoint a director to fill the resulting vacancy. |

| | **Delaware** | **British Columbia** |
| **Liability of Directors; Fiduciary Duties; Limitation of Directors' Liability** | Delaware courts have provided a robust case law concerning the fiduciary duties of corporate boards and officers. Such case law requires that directors and officers of Delaware corporations exercise a duty of care and a duty of loyalty when making decisions on behalf of a corporation. The Delaware courts have developed the concept of the "business judgment rule" which presumes that directors, in making a business decision, acted on an informed basis, in good faith and in the honest belief that the action taken is in the best interests of the corporation. In performing their duties, directors and officers may exercise their business judgment through reliance in good faith upon the records of the corporation and upon such information, opinions, reports or statements presented to the corporation by any of the corporation's officers or employees, or committees of the board, or by any other person as to matters the members of the board reasonably believe are within their professional or expert competence and have been chosen with reasonable care. Under the DGCL, the certificate of incorporation of a corporation may eliminate or limit the personal liability of directors or officers to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty, provided that such provision does not eliminate or limit liability (a) for breach of the duty of loyalty, (b) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or knowing violation of the law, (c) for unlawful dividends or stock repurchases, (d) for any transaction from which a director or officer derived in improper personal benefit or (e) of an officer in any action by or in the right of the corporation.<br>The Certificate of Incorporation provides that the liability of directors and officers is eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL.<br>Under the DGCL, a transaction between a corporation and one or more of its directors or officers who has an interest in the transaction, is not void or voidable solely for that reason, if: (a) the material facts as to the director's or officer's relationship or interest are disclosed or are known to the board of directors or a committee thereof, and the disinterested directors or committee members approve the transaction in good faith; (b) the material facts as to the director's or officer's relationship or interest are disclosed or known to the stockholders of the corporation entitled to vote thereon, and the stockholders approve or ratify the transaction in good faith; or (c) the transaction is fair to the corporation at the time it is authorized or approved. | Under the BCBCA, every director and officer must act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the company, exercise the care, diligence, and skill that a reasonably prudent individual would exercise in comparable circumstances, act in accordance with the BCBCA and the regulations, and subject to the foregoing, act in accordance with the articles of the company. Under the BCBCA, directors of a company who vote for or consent to a resolution authorizing the company to. among other things,: (i) carry on a business or exercise a power contrary to its articles as a result of which the company has paid compensation to any person; (ii) pay a commission or allow a discount contrary to the BCBCA; (iii) pay a dividend or purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire shares contrary to the BCBCA, or (iv) make or give an indemnity to a party contrary to the BCBCA, are jointly and severally liable to restore to the company any amount paid or distributed as a result and not otherwise recovered by the company. In addition, directors who vote for or consent to a resolution that authorized the issue of a share that is not fully paid are jointly and severally liable to compensate the company or any shareholder or beneficial shareholder for any losses, damages and costs sustained or incurred as a result. A director is not liable for any such amounts if the director has relied, in good faith, on (i) financial statements represented by an officer of the company or in the written report of the auditor of the company to fairly reflect the financial position of the company; (ii) the written report of a lawyer, accountant, engineer, appraiser or other person whose profession lends credibility to a statement made by that person; (iii) a statement of fact represented to the director by an officer of the company to be correct; or (iv) any record, information or representation that the court considers provides reasonable grounds for the actions of the director, whether or not the record, information or representation was forged, fraudulently made or inaccurate. |

| **Indemnification of Officers and Directors** | Section 145 of the DGCL provides that a corporation may indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and individuals against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, in which such person is made a party by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation (other than a derivative action), if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person's conduct was unlawful.<br>A similar standard is applicable in the case of derivative actions, except that indemnification only extends to expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such action, and no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim as to which such person has been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery or the court in which such action was brought determines that such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper. <br>Also under Section 145 of the DGCL, a corporation may pay the expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by officers and directors in defending against lawsuits in advance, provided that such director or officer undertakes to repay any advanced funds if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation.<br>The Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws generally provide mandatory indemnification and advancement of expenses to directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. The Certificate of Incorporation provides for rights of indemnification and advancement to its employees and agents.<br>Section 145 of the DGCL provides that a determination regarding indemnification shall be made by the corporation with respect to a person who is a director or officer of the corporation at the time of such determination: (i) by a majority vote of the directors who are not parties to the action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum, (ii) by a committee of such directors designated by a majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum, (iii) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (iv) by the corporation's stockholders.<br>A director or officer may also apply to the Delaware Court of Chancery or any other court of competent jurisdiction in Delaware for a determination that indemnification is proper in the circumstances.<br>Section 145 of the DGCL and the Bylaws provide that it is not exclusive of other indemnification that may be granted by the Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws, disinterested director vote, stockholder vote, agreement or otherwise.<br>The Bylaws also provide that, except for proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification, the Company shall not be obligated to indemnify any director or officer (or his heirs, executors, or personal or legal representatives) or advance expenses in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the board of directors.  | Under the BCBCA, a current or former director or officer of the company, a current or former director or officer who acts or has acted for an affiliate of the company or at the company's request as a director or officer of another company, or at the request of the company, is or was, or holds or held a position equivalent to that of, a director or officer of a partnership, trust, joint venture or other unincorporated entity (an "**eligible party**"), is entitled to be indemnified by the company in respect of all costs, charges and expenses (including legal and other fees, but not including judgments, penalties, fines or amounts paid in settlement of a proceeding) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with any legal proceeding or investigative action if, among other things, (i) the person acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the company; and (ii) in the case of an eligible proceeding other than a civil proceeding, the person had reasonable grounds for believing that this conduct in respect of which the proceeding was brought was lawful.<br>Under the BC Articles, the Company must indemnify an eligible party against all eligible penalties and must pay expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such person. In addition, the Company must pay in advance of the final disposition of an eligible proceeding the expenses actually and reasonably incurred by an eligible party. |
| **Indemnity Insurance** | Pursuant to the DGCL and the Bylaws, the Company may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred in any such capacity. | Under the BCBCA, a company may purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of a director or officer, former director and officer or current or former director and officer who acted as a director or officer of an affiliate or at the company's request as director or officer against any liability that may be incurred by reason of the eligible party being or having been a director or officer of, or holding or having held a position equivalent to that of a director or officer of, the company or an associated corporation. |
| **Shareholder Consent in Lieu of Meeting** | The DGCL provides that, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise, any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the stockholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents shall be signed by not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted.<br>The Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws provide that stockholders may not act by written consent. | Under the BCBCA, a written consent resolution by shareholders is deemed to be valid and effective as if it had been passed at a meeting of shareholders as long as it satisfies all of the requirements of the BCBCA and the regulations and articles of the company. |

| | **Delaware** | **British Columbia** |
| **Calling of Shareholder Meeting** | Under the DGCL, unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation or the bylaws, the board of directors may call special meetings of the stockholders.<br>The Bylaws provide that a special meeting of the stockholders may be called only by the board of directors pursuant to a resolution approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office, or, if there are no directors then in office, by an officer of the Company. Only those matters set forth in the notice of the special meeting may be considered or acted upon at a special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation, unless otherwise required by law. | Under the BC Articles, directors may call meetings of shareholders. The BCBCA provides that shareholders may requisition a general meeting provided the requisition is made by shareholders holding at least 1/20 of the issued shares of the company that carry the right to vote at general meetings and is in compliance with the requirements of the BCBCA. If a general meeting is validly requisitioned in accordance with the BCBCA, the directors must call a general meeting to transact the business specified in the requisition, to be held within four months after the date the requisition is received by the company, regardless of the articles of such company. |
| **Location of Shareholder Meetings** | Under the DGCL, a stockholders meeting may be held within or outside of Delaware. If, pursuant to the DGCL or the certificate of incorporation or bylaws, the Board is authorized to determine the place of a stockholders meeting, the Board may determine that the meeting be held solely by remote communication. Under the Bylaws, the Board may determine to hold a meeting of stockholders by means of electronic communications, videoconferencing, teleconferencing or other available technology authorized by and in accordance with the DGCL. | Under the BCBCA, a general meeting of a company must be held in British Columbia or may be held at a location outside British Columbia if (i) a location outside of British Columbia is provided for in the company's articles, (ii) the articles do not restrict the company from approving a location outside of British Columbia and the location is approved by the resolution required by the articles for that purpose (if no resolution is required by the articles for that purposes, approved by ordinary resolution), or (iii) the location for the meeting is approved by the Registrar of Companies of British Columbia before the meeting is held. If the meeting is a partially electronic meeting, the foregoing applies to the location where persons attend the meeting in person. If the meeting is a fully electronic meeting, the foregoing does not apply to the meeting.<br>The BC Articles provide that the directors may choose a location outside of British Columbia for the purpose of any general meeting of shareholders. |
| **Shareholder Inspection Rights** | Under the DGCL, a stockholder or its agent has the right to inspect stock ledger, a list of all of its stockholders and its other books and records during the usual hours of business upon written demand stating his purpose (which must be reasonably related to such person's interest as a stockholder). If the corporation refuses to permit such inspection or refuses to reply to the request within five business days of the demand, the stockholder may apply to the Delaware Court of Chancery for an order to compel such inspection. | Under the BCBCA, current shareholders of a company are entitled to inspect, without charge, certain records of the company, including the company's constating documents (including the company's articles, notice of articles and certificate of incorporation, continuation or amalgamation, as applicable); any orders made by the court under the BCBCA, the Registrar or the executive director under the *Securities Act* (British Columbia); the company's central securities register and register of directors; consents to act and resignations of directors; any report of an inspector appointed by the court; the minutes of every meeting of shareholders; each consent resolution of shareholders; every audited financial statement of the company and its subsidiaries, whether or not consolidated; certain disclosures of disclosable interests of directors and senior officers; certain disclosures relating to financial assistance; and, if the company is an amalgamated company, the equivalent records for each predecessor company. Former shareholders have the same rights of inspection as do current shareholders, but only with respect to those records that relate to the period when that person was a shareholder. |

| | **Delaware** | **British Columbia** |
| **Shareholder Proposals** | The DGCL does not contain specific provisions regarding stockholder proposals. | The BCBCA provides a mechanism whereby qualified shareholders of public companies holding at least 1/100 of the issued shares that carry the right to vote at general meetings or have a fair market value in excess of $2,000, can have specific matters submitted for consideration at the next annual general meeting of the company, rather than relying on the directors or management of the company to put the matter before the shareholders. A "qualified shareholder" is a person who is a registered owner or beneficial owner of one or more shares of the company that carry the right to vote at general meetings and has been a registered owner or beneficial owner of one or more such shares for an uninterrupted period of at least two years before the date of the signing of the proposal. However, a person is not a "qualified shareholder" if, within two years before the date of the signing of the proposal, the person failed to present at an annual general meeting an earlier proposal that the person had submitted to the company and that the company had responded to by complying with the proposal process. |
| **Payment of Dividends and Distributions** | The DGCL provides that a corporation may declare and pay dividends to its stockholders either (i) out of its surplus, as determined in the DGCL, or (ii) if there is no surplus, out of its net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared and/or the preceding fiscal year. | Under the BCBCA, a company may declare a dividend, subject to its charter or an enactment that provides otherwise, out of the profits, capital or otherwise by issuing shares or warrants by way of dividend, or in property, including in money. A dividend in money or property may not be declared or paid if there are reasonable grounds for believing that (i) the company is insolvent, or (ii) the payment of the dividend would render the company insolvent. For the purposes of the payment of dividends, "insolvent" means unable to pay the company's debts as they become due in the ordinary course of its business. |
| **Rights of Dissent and Appraisal** | Under the DGCL, stockholders are entitled to appraisal rights in connection with certain mergers, and may demand that the Delaware Court of Chancery determine the fair value of such stockholder's shares. However, stockholders do not have appraisal rights if the shares of stock they hold, at the record date for determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting of stockholders to act upon the merger or consolidation, or on the record date with respect to action by written consent, are either (i) listed on a national securities exchange or (ii) held of record by more than 2,000 holders.<br>Notwithstanding the foregoing, appraisal rights are available if stockholders are required by the terms of the merger agreement to accept for their shares consideration other than (a) shares of stock of the surviving corporation, (b) shares of stock of another corporation that will either be listed on a national securities exchange or held of record by more than 2,000 holders, (c) cash instead of fractional shares or (d) any combination of clauses (a)—(c). | Under the BCBCA, registered shareholders have the right to dissent from certain corporate acts, including certain amendments to the articles, the adoption or approval of an amalgamation agreement, the approval of an arrangement if the terms of the arrangement permit dissent, the continuance of the company into a jurisdiction other than British Columbia, a sale, lease or other disposition by the company of all or substantially all of its undertaking, any other resolution, if dissent is authorized by the resolution and any court order that permits dissent. Subject to fulfilling all of the requirements of the BCBCA (and court order, if applicable) in respect of the shareholder's right to dissent, the company and the dissenting shareholder may agree on the amount of the payout value of the dissent shares and the company must then promptly purchase the dissenting shareholder's shares at fair value, unless there are grounds for believing that the company is insolvent or the payment would render the company insolvent. A dissenting shareholder who has not entered into an agreement with the company (or the company itself) may apply to the court and the court may determine the payout value of the dissent shares. |

| **Oppression Remedy** | Although Delaware common law imposes fiduciary duties upon directors and officers, the DGCL does not contain an "oppression remedy" as under the BCBCA. However, Delaware courts have broad authority to impose equitable remedies for violations of a director's fiduciary duties under Delaware common law. | The BCBCA contains an oppression remedy that enables the court to make any interim or final order it considers appropriate, if satisfied upon application by a shareholder (which in this context includes a beneficial shareholder or any other person whom the court considers to be an appropriate person) that (i) the affairs of the company are being or have been conducted, or that the powers of the directors are being or have been exercised, in a manner oppressive to one or more of the shareholders; or (ii) that some act of the company has been done or is threatened, or that some resolution of the shareholders or of the shareholders holding shares of a class or series of shares has been passed or is proposed, that is unfairly prejudicial to one or more of the shareholders, and that the application was brought by the shareholder in a timely manner. |

| **Business Combination** | Section 203 of the DGCL generally prohibits a publicly-held Delaware corporation from engaging in a business combination with any interested stockholder (defined as a person or entity that becomes the beneficial owner of at least 15% of a Delaware corporation's outstanding voting stock) for a three-year period following the time that such stockholder becomes an interested stockholder, unless the board of directors approves the business combination or the transaction by which such stockholder becomes an interested stockholder, in either case, before the stockholder becomes an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder acquires 85% of the corporation's outstanding voting stock in the transaction by which such stockholder becomes an interested stockholder, or the business combination is subsequently approved by the board of directors and authorized at a meeting of stockholders by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3 % of the corporation's outstanding voting stock not owned by the interested stockholder.<br>Section 203 permits a corporation to opt out of the prohibitions in the section if, among other things, its original certificate of incorporation contains a provision expressly electing not to be governed thereby. The Certificate of Incorporation includes such an opt-out provision. | The BCBCA does not contain an exact corresponding provision. Certain matters such as take-over bids, issuer bids, going-private transactions, business combinations and transactions with directors, officers, significant shareholders and other related parties to which the Company is a party may be subject to Canadian provincial securities legislation and administrative policies and rules of the Canadian securities administrators. Such legislation, administrative policies and rules may impose board and/or shareholder approval requirements on public companies separate and apart from the BCBCA. |

| **Controlling Stockholder Transactions** | The DGCL provides that, other than in the case of a going-private transaction, an act or transaction between a corporation and a controlling stockholder or a control group, or an act or transaction from which a controlling stockholder or a control group receives a financial or other benefit not shared with the corporation's stockholders generally may not be the subject of equitable relief or give rise to an award of damages against a director, officer, controlling stockholder or member of a control group by reason of a breach of fiduciary duty by a director, officer, controlling stockholder or member of a control group if any of the following conditions are met: (i) the material facts as to such controlling stockholder transaction (including the controlling stockholder's interest therein) are disclosed or are known to all members of a committee of the board of directors to which the board of directors has expressly delegated the authority to negotiate (or oversee the negotiation of) and to reject such controlling stockholder transaction, and such controlling stockholder transaction is approved (or recommended for approval) in good faith and without gross negligence by a majority of the disinterested directors then serving on the committee; or (ii) such controlling stockholder transaction is conditioned, by its terms, as in effect at the time it is submitted to stockholders for their approval or ratification, on the approval of or ratification by disinterested stockholders, and such controlling stockholder transaction is approved or ratified by an informed, uncoerced, affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by the disinterested stockholders; or (iii) such controlling stockholder transaction is fair as to the corporation and the corporation's stockholders. | The BCBCA does not contain a corresponding provision. |
| **Compulsory Acquisition Right** | The DGCL does not contain a right of compulsory acquisition. However, the DGCL does permit a parent Delaware entity owning 90% of a subsidiary Delaware corporation to merge the subsidiary with and into the parent entity without a vote of the owners of either entity. Further, the DGCL permits a parent Delaware entity owning 90% of a subsidiary Delaware corporation to merge the parent entity with and into the subsidiary without a vote of the stockholders of the subsidiary Delaware corporation. | The BCBCA provides a right of compulsory acquisition for an offeror that acquires at least 90% of the target company's shares or any class of shares pursuant to a take-over bid or issuer bid, other than securities held at the date of the bid by or on behalf of the offeror (i.e., an "acquiring person" under the BCBCA). Those shareholders who did not accept the offer may be compelled, on notice from the acquiring person, to sell their shares to the acquiring person at the same price and on the same terms offered, unless the court otherwise orders. If the acquiring person does not give that notice within one month after becoming entitled to do so, it must give notice to those shareholders that they may require the acquiring person to purchase their shares from them. A shareholder may apply to the court to set the price and terms of payment. |

**Comparison of Certificate of Incorporation and Company Delaware Bylaws with the BC Notice of Articles and BC Articles**

In addition to the differences noted above, set forth below is a comparison of the material provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws with the BC Notice of Articles and BC Articles. While it is not practical to summarize all of the legal differences between the different sets of charter documents, certain principal differences that could materially affect the rights of shareholders are set forth below. The following summary is not a substitute for direct reference to the Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws and the BC Articles themselves, or for professional interpretation of such documents, and is qualified by reference thereto.

| **Conversion of Shares** | The Certificate of Incorporation will provide for similar conversion rights as those applicable to the Subordinate Voting Shares and the Multiple Voting Shares in respect of the Delaware Subordinate Voting Shares and Delaware Multiple Voting Shares. <br>For greater certainty, the Delaware Multiple Voting Shares will be convertible into Delaware Subordinate Voting Shares on the basis of one hundred Delaware Subordinate Voting Shares for each one Delaware Multiple Voting Share at any time at the option of the holder.<br>Unlike the BC Articles, the Certificate of Incorporation does not include a mandatory conversion right permitting the Company to require holders of Delaware Multiple Voting Shares to convert such shares into Delaware Subordinate Voting Shares. | The Multiple Voting Shares are convertible into Subordinate Voting Shares on the basis of one hundred Subordinate Voting Shares for each one Multiple Voting Share at any time at the option of the holder.<br>The Company may require each holder of Multiple Voting Shares to convert all if at any time the following conditions are satisfied: (i) the Subordinate Voting Shares issuable upon conversion are registered for resale under the U.S. Securities Act, (ii) the Company is subject to reporting requirements of the U.S. Exchange Act, and (iii) the Subordinate Voting Shares are listed or quoted on a recognized stock exchange in North America. |
| **Preemptive and Subscription Rights** | Delaware Subordinate Voting Shares do not have pre-emptive or subscription rights, and there are no redemption rights in favour of the stockholders or sinking-fund provisions applicable to them. | The holders of Subordinate Voting Shares are not entitled to a right of first refusal to subscribe for, purchase or receive any part of any issue of Subordinate Voting Shares, or bonds, debentures or other securities of the Company now or in the future.<br>The holders of Multiple Voting Shares are not entitled to a right of first refusal to subscribe for, purchase or receive any part of any issue of Multiple Voting Shares, or bonds, debentures or other securities of the Company now or in the future. |

On and after the delivery of written notice sent by the Company to the holder of shares called for Redemption, the Unsuitable Person ceases to have voting rights with respect to the shares called for Redemption.<br>An "**Unsuitable Person**" means (i) any person with ownership of 5% or more of all outstanding shares of Common Stock on an as-converted basis who a Governmental Authority granting any license to the Company has determined to be unsuitable to own shares of Common Stock, or (ii) any person whose ownership of shares of Common Stock may result in the loss, suspension or revocation of any cannabis license held by the Company or in the Company being unable to obtain any new license, as determined by the Board in its sole discretion after consultation with legal counsel.  | The BC Articles provide that the Company may, if authorized by the directors, purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any of the Company's shares at such price and on such terms as the directors may determine, subject to the BCBCA.  |

Pursuant to the Bylaws, the number of directors shall consist of at least three individuals, with the total number of directors fixed from time to time exclusively by the Board. | Under the BC Articles, the number of directors is set at the greater of three and the number of directors most recently set by ordinary resolution. |

| | **Delaware** | **British Columbia** |
| **Meetings of Directors** | Regular meetings of the Board may be held without notice. If the Board designates the time and place of a regular meeting by resolution, no further notice of such meeting shall be required. Special meetings of the Board may be called only by the Chair of the Board, or if there is no Chair, by the Chief Executive Officer, the President, or the Secretary, or upon the request of a majority of the Board. Regular or special meetings may be held at any place designated by the Board or, in the absence of such designation, as specified in the notice of the meeting. Except as otherwise provided in the Bylaws, notice of any meeting shall be delivered to each director at least 24 hours prior to the meeting. | The BC Articles state that the directors may meet together for the conduct of business, adjourn and otherwise regulate their meetings as they think fit, and meetings of the directors held at regular intervals may be held at the place, at the time and on the notice, if any, as the directors may from time to time determine.  |
| **Quorum for Director's Meetings** | The Bylaws provide that a majority of the directors in office is necessary to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. | Under the BC Articles, the quorum necessary for the transaction of the business of the directors may be set by the directors and, if not so set, is deemed to be set at two directors. |
| **Protective Provisions** | The Certificate of Incorporation provides that the Company shall not amend, alter or repeal any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws in a manner that adversely affects the special rights, powers or preferences of the Delaware Subordinate Voting Shares or Delaware Multiple Voting Shares, as applicable, without the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding shares of the affected class, voting as a separate class. In addition, the Company may not create any class or series of Common Stock senior to or on parity with the Delaware Multiple Voting Shares without the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding Delaware Multiple Voting Shares, voting as a separate class. | The BC Articles provide that the Company will not, without the consent of the holders of the Subordinate Voting Shares by separate special resolution, prejudice or interfere with any right or special right attached to the Subordinate Voting Shares. Similarly, the Company will not, without the consent of the Multiple Voting Shares and Super Voting Shares by separate special resolution, prejudice or interfere with any right or special right attached to the Multiple Voting Shares. Consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding Multiple Voting Shares and Super Voting Shares is also required for any action that authorizes or creates shares of any class having preferences superior to or on parity with the Multiple Voting Shares.  |

| **Advance Notice Provisions** | The Bylaws include an advance notice provision requiring that stockholders who wish to nominate directors or propose other business at an annual meeting of stockholders must provide timely notice in proper written form to the Secretary of the Company at the Company's principal executive offices. To be timely, notice must generally be delivered not earlier than the 120th day and not later than the 90th day prior to the first anniversary of the previous year's annual meeting. If the date of the annual meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 70 days after such anniversary date, or if no meeting was held the prior year, the notice must be received no later than the (i) 120th day, and not later than the 90th day, prior to such annual meeting or (ii) 10th day following the public announcement of the meeting date. For special meetings called for the purpose of electing directors, notice of nominations must generally be received not earlier than the 120th day and not later than the 90th day prior to the meeting or the 10th day following public announcement of the meeting date.<br>Stockholder notices must comply with the informational and procedural requirements set forth in the Bylaws, including detailed disclosures about the nominating or proposing stockholder, any beneficial owners or control persons, and any related agreements or arrangements. | The BC Articles contain an advance notice provision, governing the nomination process for Board candidates. The advance notice provision imposes a deadline for shareholders to submit nominations prior to any annual or special shareholder meeting. In the case of an annual general meeting of shareholders, notice to the Company's Secretary must be made not less than 33 nor more than 65 days prior to the date of the annual general meeting of shareholders; provided, however, that in the event that the annual general meeting of shareholders is called for at a date that is less than 50 days after the date on which the first public announcement of the date of the annual meeting was made, notice by the nominating shareholder must be given not later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the notice date. In the case of a special meeting (which is not also an annual general meeting) of shareholders called for the purpose of electing directors (whether or not called for other purposes), notice to the Secretary must be made not later than the close of business on the fifteenth (15th) day following the date on which the first public announcement of the date of the special meeting of shareholders was made. |
| **Dividends and Distributions** | The Certificate of Incorporation provides that the Company may make distributions to its holders of records of Delaware Subordinate Voting Shares and of Delaware Multiple Voting Shares ratably out of funds legally available for this purpose as determined by the Board. No dividend shall be declared, paid or set aside on the Delaware Subordinate Voting Shares unless each holder of Delaware Multiple Voting Shares simultaneously receives a dividend on each Delaware Multiple Voting Share on an as-converted to Delaware Subordinate Voting Share basis, and vice versa. Unless otherwise provided by the Board in a Preferred Stock Designation for a particular series, holders of Delaware Preferred Stock are not entitled to receive dividends or other distributions from the Company. | The BC Articles contain provisions with respect to dividend payments and entitlement thereto, including manner of payment and settlement of difficulties in regard to the distribution of dividends.<br>Subordinate Voting Shares are entitled to receive as and when declared by the directors of the Company, dividends in cash or property of the Company. No dividend may be declared or paid on the Subordinate Voting Shares unless the Company simultaneously declares or pays, as applicable, equivalent dividends (on an as-converted to Subordinate Voting Share basis) on the Multiple Voting Shares.<br>The holders of the Multiple Voting Shares are entitled to receive such dividends, out of any cash or other assets legally available therefor, pari passu (on an as converted basis) as to dividends and any declaration or payment of any dividend on the Subordinate Voting Shares. No dividend may be declared or paid on the Multiple Voting Shares unless the Company simultaneously declares or pays, as applicable, equivalent dividends (on an as-converted basis) on the Subordinate Voting Shares. |

**COURT APPROVAL OF THE ARRANGEMENT**

The Delaware Domestication is being effected pursuant to Section 288 of the BCBCA, which provides that, where it is impracticable for a corporation to effect a fundamental change under any other provision of the BCBCA, a corporation may

------

apply to the Supreme Court of British Columbia for an order approving a proposed arrangement. The arrangement procedure requires, among other things, Court approval.

*Interim Order*

Prior to the mailing of this Proxy Statement, on [________], 2026, the Company obtained an interim order from the Court (the "**Interim Order**") authorizing and directing the Company to call, hold and conduct the Meeting, submit the Arrangement Resolution to the shareholders for approval, and addressing other procedural matters, including: (1) the required shareholder approval of the Arrangement Resolution; (2) the dissent rights for shareholders; (3) the notice requirements with respect to the Court hearing of the application for the final order; (4) the ability of the Company to adjourn or postpone the Meeting from time to time in accordance with the terms of the Interim Order, without the need for additional approval of the Court; and (5) the record date for the shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Meeting.

A copy of the Interim Order is attached hereto as Appendix D.

*Final Order*

If the Arrangement Resolution is approved by shareholders at the Meeting in the manner required by the Interim Order, the Company intends to apply to the Court for a final order (the "**Final Order**") approving the Plan of Arrangement. The hearing for the Final Order (the "**Final Order Hearing**") is currently scheduled for August 10, 2026 at 9:45 a.m. (Vancouver time) at the Supreme Court of British Columbia, 800 Smithe Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6Z 2E1, or as soon thereafter as counsel may be heard, or at any other date and time and by any other method as the Court may direct. At the Final Order Hearing, any shareholder or any other interested person, who wishes to participate or to be represented or to present evidence or argument at the Final Order Hearing may do so, subject to filing with the Court and serving upon the Company on or before 4:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) on August 7, 2026, a Response to Petition ("**Response**"), in accordance with the terms set out in the Interim Order and in the form prescribed by the Supreme Court Civil Rules (British Columbia), including his, her, or its address for service, together with all materials on which he, she or it intends to rely at the Final Order Hearing.

A Notice of Hearing of the application for the Final Order is attached hereto as Appendix E.

The Response and supporting materials must be served on the Company, within the time specified, by delivery to the Company, c/o DLA Piper (Canada) LLP, The Stack, 1133 Melville Street, Suite 2700, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6E 4E5, to the attention of Derek Bell. Subject to the Court ordering otherwise, only those persons who file a Response in compliance with the Interim Order will be provided with notice of the materials to be filed with the Court and the opportunity to make submissions in support or opposition of the Final Order. In the event the Final Order Hearing is postponed, adjourned or rescheduled, then, subject to further order of the Court, only those persons having previously served a Response in compliance with the Interim Order will be given notice of the postponement, adjournment or rescheduled date. Participation in the Final Order Hearing, including who may participate and present evidence or argument and the procedure for doing so, is subject to the terms of the Interim Order and any subsequent direction of the Court.

Shareholders who wish to participate in or be represented at the Final Order Hearing should consult their legal advisors as to the necessary requirements. The Notice of Hearing of Petition for Final Order constitutes notice of the Final Order Hearing and is the only such notice of that proceeding.

The Court has broad discretion under the BCBCA when making orders with respect to the Plan of Arrangement. The Court, in hearing the Company's application at the Final Order Hearing, will consider, among other things, the fairness of the Plan of Arrangement to the shareholders and any other interested party as the Court determines appropriate. The Court may

------

approve the Plan of Arrangement either as proposed or as amended in any manner the Court may direct, subject to compliance with such terms and conditions, if any, as the Court may determine appropriate.

If made, the Final Order will constitute the basis for the exemption from the registration requirements of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "**U.S. Securities Act**"), under Section 3(a)(10) thereof (a "**Section 3(a)(10) Exemption**"), with respect to any deemed issuance or exchange of the Delaware Common Stock that may be considered to have occurred in connection with the Delaware Domestication.

*Effective Date*

The Delaware Domestication will become effective on the date designated by the Company as the Effective Date. If the Meeting is held and the Arrangement Resolution is approved by shareholders as required by the Interim Order, the Company intends to apply to the Court for the Final Order. If the Final Order is obtained on August 10, 2026, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, the Company expects the Effective Date to be on or about [________], 2026. The Effective Date could be delayed, however, for a number of reasons, including an objection before the Court at the hearing of the application for the Final Order.

**RIGHTS OF DISSENT**

Registered shareholders who wish to dissent should take note that the procedures for dissenting to the Plan of Arrangement (the "**Dissent Procedures**") require strict compliance with Sections 237 to 247 of the BCBCA (the "**Dissent Rights**"), as modified by the Plan of Arrangement, Interim Order and the Final Order. A copy of Sections 237 to 247 of the BCBCA is attached hereto as Appendix C. The Court hearing the application for the Final Order has the discretion to alter the Dissent Rights with respect to the Plan of Arrangement described herein based on the evidence presented at such hearing.

Any registered shareholder is entitled to be paid the fair value of its Subordinate Voting Shares or Multiple Voting Shares, as applicable, in accordance with the Dissent Rights if such shareholder properly dissents in respect of the Plan of Arrangement, and the Plan of Arrangement becomes effective (a "**Dissenting Shareholder**"). A shareholder is not entitled to dissent with respect to shares if such shareholder votes any of those shares in favor of the Arrangement Resolution.

**Dissenting Shareholders who might desire to exercise the right to dissent and appraisal should carefully consider and comply with the provisions of the BCBCA, the full text of which is set out in Appendix C to this Proxy Statement as modified by the Plan of Arrangement and the Interim Order, the full texts of which are set out in Appendix B and Appendix D, respectively, to this Proxy Statement and consult their own legal advisors.**

If a Dissenting Shareholder exercises Dissent Rights with respect to Subordinate Voting Shares or Multiple Voting Shares, properly complies with the Dissent Procedures and is ultimately entitled to be paid for such shares, such Dissenting Shareholder will be entitled to be paid the fair value of such shares and will be deemed to have irrevocably transferred such shares to the Company in accordance with the Plan of Arrangement in consideration for such fair value (less, for greater certainty, any applicable withholding or other taxes), at the effective time of the Plan of Arrangement, and will cease to have any rights as a shareholder.

Any shareholder wishing to exercise Dissent Rights in respect of the Arrangement Resolution must provide written objection to the Arrangement Resolution (a "**Dissent Notice**") to the Company, c/o DLA Piper (Canada) LLP, Attention: Derek Bell, The Stack, 1133 Melville Street, Suite 2700, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6E 4E5, at or prior to 5:00 p.m. (Pacific Time) on the date that is two (2) business days immediately prior to the date of the Meeting (as such time may be adjusted in the event of any adjournment(s) or postponement(s) of the Meeting). A Dissenting Shareholder must prepare a separate Dissent Notice for themselves, if dissenting on their own behalf, and for each other person who beneficially owns Subordinate Voting Shares or Multiple Voting Shares registered in the Dissenting Shareholder's name and on whose behalf the Dissenting Shareholder is dissenting, and must dissent with respect to all of the shares registered in their name beneficially owned by the non-registered shareholder on whose behalf they are dissenting.

------

If the Arrangement Resolution is approved by shareholders and within one month after the Company notifies the Dissenting Shareholder of the Company's intention to act upon the Arrangement Resolution and complete the Delaware Domestication, then pursuant to Section 244 of the BCBCA the Dissenting Shareholder must send to the Company a written notice that such Dissenting Shareholder requires the purchase of all of the Subordinate Voting Shares or Multiple Voting Shares in respect of which such Dissenting Shareholder has given notice of dissent, together with the share certificates, if any, representing those shares (including a written statement prepared in accordance with Section 244(1)(c) of the BCBCA if the dissent is being exercised by the Dissenting Shareholder on behalf of a beneficial holder).

A Dissenting Shareholder who does not strictly comply with the Dissent Procedures or, for any other reason, is not ultimately entitled to be paid fair value for his, her or its applicable shares will be deemed to have participated in the Plan of Arrangement on the same basis as non-Dissenting Shareholders.

The Dissenting Shareholder and Company may agree on the payout value of the applicable shares. Otherwise, any Dissenting Shareholder who has duly complied with the Dissent Right Procedures set out in the provisions of the BCBCA, as modified by the Plan of Arrangement, the Interim Order and the Final Order or the Company may apply to the Court, and the Court may determine the fair value of the applicable shares and make consequential orders and give directions as the Court considers appropriate. There is no obligation on the Company to apply to the Court. The Dissenting Shareholder will be entitled to receive the fair value that the applicable shares had as of the close of business on the last business day before the day on which the Arrangement Resolution is approved by the shareholders.

Persons who are beneficial holders of Subordinate Voting Shares or Multiple Voting Shares registered in the name of a broker, custodian, nominee or other intermediary who wish to exercise Dissent Rights should be aware that only registered shareholders are entitled to dissent. Accordingly, a beneficial shareholder desiring to exercise this right of dissent must make arrangements for the shares beneficially owned by such person to be registered in their name prior to the time the Notice of Dissent to the Arrangement Resolution is required to be received by the Company or, alternatively, make arrangements for the registered shareholder to dissent on their behalf.

A Dissenting Shareholder loses their Dissent Rights with respect to the Delaware Domestication if, before full payment is made for the applicable shares, the Company abandons the corporate action that has given rise to such Dissent Rights (namely, the Delaware Domestication), a court permanently enjoins the action, or the Dissenting Shareholder withdraws the Notice of Dissent with the Company's consent.

The foregoing summary does not purport to provide a comprehensive statement of the procedures to be followed by a Dissenting Shareholder who seeks payment of the fair value of Subordinate Voting Shares or Multiple Voting Shares held and is qualified in its entirety by reference to Sections 237 to 247 of the BCBCA, as modified by the Interim Order, the Final Order and the Plan of Arrangement. **The Dissent Procedures must be strictly adhered to and any failure by a shareholder to do so may result in the loss of that Shareholder's Dissent Rights. Accordingly, each shareholder who wishes to exercise Dissent Rights should carefully consider and comply with the Dissent Procedures and consult the shareholder's legal advisors.**

**TAX MATTERS**

The Delaware Domestication may have different tax consequences for shareholders resident in Canada than for shareholders resident in the United States. Shareholders are urged to carefully read the sections below entitled and "*Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations*" and "*Certain United States Federal Income Tax Consequences*" as applicable, and to consult with their own tax and other advisors. Shareholders residing outside of Canada and the United States should consult their own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of the Delaware Domestication in their respective jurisdictions, as this Proxy Statement does not address the tax laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States and Canada.

------

<u>Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations</u>

The following is a general summary of the material Canadian federal income tax considerations applicable to the Company and shareholders of the Company in connection with the Delaware Domestication. The summary applies to shareholders who, at all relevant times, for purposes of the *Income Tax Act* (Canada) (the "**Tax Act**") (1) deal at arm's length with the Company, (2) are not affiliated with the Company, and (3) hold the Subordinate Voting Shares and Multiple Voting Shares as capital property (a "**Holder**"). The Subordinate Voting Shares and Multiple Voting Shares will generally be considered to be capital property to the applicable Holder unless such shares are held by the Holder in the course of carrying on a business of buying and selling securities or were acquired in one or more transactions considered to be an adventure or concern in the nature of trade.

This summary assumes that the Company will cease to be resident in Canada for purposes of the Tax Act at the time of the Delaware Domestication and at all relevant times thereafter the Company will be a resident of the United States for the purpose of the Canada-United States Income Tax Convention (the "**U.S. Treaty**") and will be entitled to the benefits of the U.S. Treaty. This summary further assumes that pursuant to Delaware law, the Company will remain the same corporate entity following the Delaware Domestication.

This summary is based on the facts set out in this Proxy Statement, the current provisions of the Tax Act, the regulations thereunder, all specific proposals to amend the Tax Act publicly announced by or on behalf of the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof (the "**Tax Proposals**"), and an understanding of the current published administrative policies and assessing practices of the Canada Revenue Agency. No assurances can be given that the Tax Proposals will be enacted as proposed, if at all. This summary does not otherwise take into account or anticipate any changes in applicable law, whether by legislative, regulatory, administrative or judicial action or administrative policy or assessing practice nor does it take into account other federal tax legislation or considerations or those of any province, territory or foreign jurisdiction, which may differ from those discussed herein.

This summary does not apply to a Holder (i) that is a "specified financial institution" for the purposes of the Tax Act, (ii) that is a "financial institution" for the purposes of the mark-to-market rules in the Tax Act, (iii) an interest in which is a "tax shelter investment" for the purposes of the Tax Act, (iv) that reports its "Canadian tax results" for the purposes of the Tax Act in a currency other than Canadian currency, (v) that has entered into or will enter into a "derivative forward agreement" (as defined in the Tax Act) or a "synthetic disposition arrangement" (as defined in the Tax Act) in respect of the Subordinate Voting Shares, Multiple Voting Shares, Delaware Subordinate Voting Shares or Delaware Multiple Voting Shares (vi) that is a "foreign affiliate" (as defined in the Tax Act) of a taxpayer resident in Canada, (vii) that is a partnership, or (viii) that has acquired any Subordinate Voting Shares or Multiple Voting Shares upon the exercise of an employee stock option or other employee compensation plan or otherwise in the course of employment. In addition, this summary does not address the tax considerations for holders of Company Options, Company RSUs, Company PSUs or any other outstanding equity awards of the Company. Holders of such securities should consult with their own tax advisors.

Additional considerations not discussed herein may be applicable to a Holder that is a corporation resident in Canada and is, or becomes, controlled by a non-resident person or group of persons not dealing at arm's length for purposes of the "foreign affiliate dumping" rules in section 212.3 of the Tax Act.

For the purposes of this summary, Subordinate Voting Shares and Multiple Voting Shares are referred to collectively as "**Shares**", and Delaware Subordinate Voting Shares and Delaware Multiple Voting shares are referred to collectively as "**Delaware Shares**".

------

**This summary is for informational purposes of a general nature only and is not, and is not intended to be, legal or tax advice to any particular Holder. This summary is not exhaustive of all Canadian income tax considerations. Consequently, Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors to determine the particular tax effects to them of the Delaware Domestication and of any other consequences to them in connection with the Plan of Arrangement under Canadian federal, provincial, territorial or local tax laws and under foreign tax laws, having regard to their own particular circumstances.**

*Tax Consequences to the Company* 

As a result of the Delaware Domestication, the Company will cease to be a resident of Canada and a "public corporation" for purposes of the Tax Act. The Company will have a deemed tax year-end immediately prior to the time it ceases to be resident in Canada for purposes of the Tax Act. The "corporate emigration" rules in the Tax Act will apply to the Company upon the Company ceasing to be resident in Canada for the purposes of the Tax Act. Each property owned by the Company immediately before the deemed year-end will be deemed to have been disposed of by the Company for proceeds of disposition equal to the fair market value of each such property at that time. Any gains or losses realized by the Company from the deemed disposition will be taken into account when determining the amount of the Company's taxable income for the taxation year which is deemed to end immediately before the Delaware Domestication.

The Company will also be required to pay a special departure tax under Part XIV of the Tax Act on the amount by which (i) the fair market value of the Company's assets immediately before the deemed year-end arising because of the Delaware Domestication exceeds (ii) the aggregate of its liabilities (other than amounts payable in respect of dividends and amounts payable in connection with this emigration tax) and the paid-up capital in respect of its issued and outstanding shares at that time. Such departure tax is generally payable at the rate of 25%; however, provided that the Company becomes a resident of the United States for purposes of the U.S. Treaty at the time of the Delaware Domestication, the rate of such departure tax is expected to be reduced to 5%.

Management of the Company currently expects that it will not incur a material amount of Canadian income tax as a result of the Delaware Domestication, although there can be no assurance in this regard. This expectation is based in part on determinations of factual matters, including determinations regarding the fair market value of the Company's assets and tax attributes, and the paid-up capital for purposes of the Tax Act in respect of its issued and outstanding shares, any or all of which could change prior to the effective time of the Delaware Domestication, and also depends in part on factors or circumstances beyond the Company's control and as to which only incomplete information may be available. Moreover, there can be no assurance that the Canada Revenue Agency will accept the valuations or the positions that the Company has adopted in calculating the amount of Canadian tax that will be payable in connection with the Delaware Domestication.

Due to the change in residence upon the Delaware Domestication, the Company will no longer be subject to taxation under the Tax Act on its worldwide income. However, if the Company carries on business in Canada through a permanent establishment in Canada or has gains from the disposition of "taxable Canadian property" that is not "treaty-protected property" (each as defined in the Tax Act), the Company may be subject to Canadian tax on its Canadian-source income.

*Tax Consequences to Shareholders Resident in Canada* 

This portion of the summary is generally applicable to a Holder who, at all relevant times, for purposes of the Tax Act, is, or is deemed to be, resident in Canada (a "**Resident Holder**").

*<u>The Delaware Domestication</u>*

Resident Holders who continue to hold Delaware Shares following the Delaware Domestication will not be considered to have disposed of their Shares by reason only of the Delaware Domestication. Accordingly, the Delaware Domestication

------

will not cause the Resident Holder to realize a capital gain or loss on its Shares. The adjusted cost base of the Delaware Shares will be equal to the aggregate adjusted cost base of the Shares

*<u>Dividends on Delaware Shares Following the Delaware Domestication</u>*

Dividends received on Delaware Shares following the Delaware Domestication will be required to be included in the Resident Holder's income for the purposes of the Tax Act. Such dividends received by a Resident Holder who is an individual will not be subject to the gross-up and dividend tax credit rules in the Tax Act. A Resident Holder that is a corporation will include such dividends in computing its income and generally will not be entitled to deduct the amount of such dividends in computing its taxable income.

Any U.S. non-resident withholding tax on such dividends generally should be eligible, subject to certain limitations under the Tax Act, to be credited against the Resident Holder's income tax or deducted from income.

*<u>Disposition of Delaware Shares Following the Delaware Domestication</u>*

A disposition or deemed disposition of Delaware Shares by a Resident Holder will generally result in a capital gain (or capital loss) to the extent that the proceeds of disposition, net of any reasonable costs of disposition, exceed (or are less than) the adjusted cost base to the Resident Holder of such shares immediately before the disposition.

*<u>Taxation of Capital Gains and Capital Losses</u>*

Generally, one-half of any capital gain (a "**taxable capital gain**") realized by a Resident Holder in a taxation year must be included in computing the income of that Resident Holder, and one-half of any capital loss (an "**allowable capital loss**") realized by a Resident Holder in a taxation year must be applied to reduce taxable capital gains realized by the Resident Holder in that year. Allowable capital losses for the year in excess of taxable capital gains generally may be applied by the Resident Holder to reduce net taxable capital gains realized in any of the three preceding taxation years or in any subsequent year, subject to the detailed provisions of the Tax Act.

In the case of a Resident Holder that is a corporation, the amount of any capital loss arising on a disposition, or deemed disposition, of any Delaware Shares may be reduced by the amount of dividends received, or deemed to have been received, by it on the Shares prior to the Delaware Domestication. Similar rules may apply where a corporation is a member of a partnership or a beneficiary of a trust that owns shares, or where a trust or partnership of which a corporation is a beneficiary or a member is a member of a partnership or a beneficiary of a trust that owns any shares.

*<u>Alternative Minimum Tax</u>*

Capital gains realized by a Resident Holder that is an individual (including certain trusts) may result in such Resident Holder being liable, or having an increased liability, for alternative minimum tax under the Tax Act.

*<u>Additional Refundable Tax</u>*

A Resident Holder that is, throughout the taxation year, a "Canadian-controlled private corporation" (as such term is defined in the Tax Act), or, at any time in the taxation year, a "substantive CCPC" (as such term is defined in the Tax Act) may be liable for an additional tax (refundable in certain circumstances) on its "aggregate investment income" (as such term is defined in the Tax Act) for the year, including taxable capital gains, interest, and dividends or deemed dividends on Shares or Delaware Shares that are not deductible under the Tax Act.

------

*<u>Foreign Property Information Reporting</u>*

A Resident Holder that is a "specified Canadian entity" (as such term is defined in the Tax Act) for a taxation year or fiscal period whose total cost amount of "specified foreign property" (as such term is defined in the Tax Act), which will include Delaware Shares, at any time in the year or fiscal period exceeds CAD$100,000 is required to file an information return for the year or period disclosing prescribed information in respect of such property. Such holders are advised to consult their own tax advisors.

*<u>Offshore Investment Fund Property Rules</u>*

A Resident Holder whose Delaware Shares constitute an "offshore investment fund property" for purposes of the Tax Act will be required to include in computing their income for purposes of the Tax Act an amount based on a prescribed rate of such Resident Holder's "designated cost" of such shares at the end of each month. Resident Holders should consult with their own advisors to assess the implications of these rules in light of their own circumstances.

*<u>Dissenting Shareholders</u>*

A Resident Holder that properly exercises Dissent Rights in respect of its Shares (a "**Dissenting Resident Holder**") will dispose of its Shares to the Company and will be entitled to be paid the fair value of such Shares. Such Dissenting Resident Holder shall be deemed to have received a dividend equal to the amount, if any, by which such payment (other than any portion of the payment that is interest awarded by a court in connection with the Delaware Domestication) exceeds the "paid-up capital" of such Shares for purposes of the Tax Act immediately before that time.

A Dissenting Resident Holder will be required to include in computing its income for a taxation year any dividend deemed to be received on the Shares. In the case of a Dissenting Resident Holder that is an individual (including certain trusts), any such dividend will be subject to the gross-up and dividend tax credit rules normally applicable to taxable dividends received by Canadian resident individuals from a taxable Canadian corporation.

In the case of a Dissenting Resident Holder that is a corporation, any such dividend generally will be included in computing such Dissenting Resident Holder's income as a dividend, and will ordinarily be deductible in computing its taxable income subject also to all other limitations under the Tax Act. In certain circumstances, a taxable dividend received by a Dissenting Resident Holder that is a corporation will be treated under the Tax Act as proceeds of disposition or a capital gain. Dissenting Resident Holders that are corporations should consult their own tax advisors having regard to their own circumstances.<br>

A Dissenting Resident Holder that is a "private corporation" or a "subject corporation" (as defined in the Tax Act) may be liable under Part IV of the Tax Act to pay a refundable tax on any dividend that it is deemed to receive on the Shares to the extent that the dividend is deductible in computing the corporation's taxable income.

A Dissenting Resident Holder who transfers Shares to the Company for cancellation will also be considered to have disposed of their Shares for proceeds of disposition equal to the amount paid to such Dissenting Resident Holder (other than any portion of the payment that is interest awarded by a court in connection with the Delaware Domestication), less the amount of any deemed dividend arising on the transfer described above. The Dissenting Resident Holder will realize a capital gain (or capital loss) to the extent that the proceeds of disposition, net of any reasonable costs of disposition, exceed (or are less than) the adjusted cost base of the Dissenting Resident Holder's Shares.

For a description of the tax treatment of capital gains or capital loss, see "*Taxation of Capital Gains and Capital Losses*" above.

------

*<u>Eligibility for Investment</u>*

Provided the Shares are listed on a designated stock exchange (which, for purposes of the Tax Act, currently includes the NYSE), the Shares would, at the time of the Delaware Domestication, be qualified investments under the Tax Act for trusts governed by a registered retirement savings plan, registered retirement income fund, registered education savings plan, registered disability savings plan, tax-free savings account, first home savings account (collectively, "**Registered Plans**"), or a deferred profit sharing plan.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Shares are a "prohibited investment" for a Registered Plan, the holder, subscriber or annuitant of the Registered Plan, as the case may be, will be subject to a penalty tax as set out in the Tax Act. The Shares will generally be a "prohibited investment" for a Registered Plan if the holder, subscriber or annuitant, as the case may be, does not deal at arm's length with the Company for purposes of the Tax Act or has a "significant interest" (as defined in the Tax Act) in the Company. In addition, the Shares will generally not be a prohibited investment if such shares are "excluded property" as defined in the Tax Act for purposes of the prohibited investment rules.

The Delaware Domestication will not, in and of itself, cause the Shares and Delaware Shares to cease to be a qualified investment under the Tax Act for trusts governed by Registered Plans.

Resident Holders who will hold the Shares or who intend to hold the Delaware Shares in a Registered Plan or a deferred profit sharing plan should consult their own tax advisors.

*Tax Consequences to Shareholders Not Resident in Canada* 

This portion of the summary is generally applicable to a Holder who, at all relevant times, for the purposes of the Tax Act and any applicable tax treaty or convention, is not, and is not deemed to be, resident in Canada and does not use or hold, and is not deemed to use or hold, Shares in a business carried on in Canada (a "**Non-Canadian Holder**"). Special rules, which are not discussed herein, may apply to certain Non-Canadian Holders that are insurers carrying on an insurance business in Canada and elsewhere or are "authorized foreign banks" (as defined in the Tax Act) and any such Non-Canadian Holders should consult their own tax advisors.

*<u>The Delaware Domestication</u>*

Non-Resident Holders who continue to hold Delaware Shares following the Delaware Domestication will not be considered to have disposed of their Shares by reason only of the Delaware Domestication. Accordingly, the Delaware Domestication will not cause the Non-Resident Holder to realize a capital gain or loss on their Shares. The adjusted cost base of the Delaware Shares will be equal to the aggregate adjusted cost base of the Shares .

After the Delaware Domestication, Non-Canadian Holders will not be subject to Canadian withholding tax on dividends received from the Company.

*<u>Disposition of Delaware Shares Following the Delaware Domestication</u>*

Following the Delaware Domestication, a disposition or deemed disposition of Delaware Shares by a Non-Canadian Holder will generally not result in tax under the Tax Act unless such Delaware Share is "taxable Canadian Property" and the gain is not exempt from tax pursuant to the terms of an applicable tax treaty or convention.

Provided the Delaware Shares are listed on a "designated stock exchange", as defined in the Tax Act (which currently includes the NYSE), at the time of disposition, the Delaware Shares generally will not constitute taxable Canadian property of a Non-Canadian Holder at that time, unless at any time during the 60-month period immediately preceding the disposition the following two conditions are met concurrently:

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)the Non-Canadian Holder, persons with whom the Non-Canadian Holder did not deal at arm's length, partnerships in which the Non-Canadian Holder or such non-arm's length person holds a membership interest (either directly or indirectly through one or more partnerships), or the Non-Canadian Holder together with all such persons, owned 25% or more of the issued shares of any class or series of the capital stock of the Company; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)more than 50% of the fair market value of the Delaware Shares was derived directly or indirectly from one or any combination of real or immovable property situated in Canada, "Canadian resource properties" (as defined in the Tax Act), "timber resource properties" (as defined in the Tax Act) or an option in respect of, an interest in, or for civil law a right in, any such property, whether or not such property exists.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Delaware Shares may be deemed to be taxable Canadian property to a Non-Canadian Holder for purposes of the Tax Act in particular circumstances.

A Non-Canadian Holder's capital gain (or capital loss) in respect of Delaware Shares that constitutes or is deemed to constitute taxable Canadian property (and that is not otherwise exempt from tax pursuant to the terms of an applicable tax treaty or convention) will generally be will be treated in the same manner as described under the heading "*Tax Consequences to Shareholders Resident in Canada* – *Taxation of Capital Gains and Capital Losses*". Non-Canadian Holders whose Delaware Shares are taxable Canadian property should consult their own tax advisors.

*<u>Dissenting Non-Canadian Holders</u>*

A Non-Resident Holder that properly exercises Dissent Rights in respect of its Shares (a "**Dissenting Non-Resident Holder**") will dispose of its Shares to the Company and will be entitled to be paid the fair value of such Shares. Such Dissenting Non-Resident Holder shall be deemed to have received a dividend equal to the amount, if any, by which such payment (other than any portion of the payment that is interest awarded by a court in connection with the Delaware Domestication) exceeds the "paid-up capital" of such Shares for purposes of the Tax Act immediately before that time.

A dividend deemed to be received by a Dissenting Non-Resident Holder will be subject to Canadian withholding tax at a rate of 25% or such lower rate as may be substantiated under the terms of an applicable tax treaty. For example, a dividend deemed to be received by a Dissenting Non-Resident Holder that is a resident of the United States for purposes of the U.S. Treaty, is fully entitled to benefits under the U.S. Treaty and is the beneficial owner of such dividends will generally be subject to withholding tax at a treaty reduced rate of 15% (or 5% if the beneficial owner of such dividends is a company that owns at least 10% of the Shares). Dissenting Non-Resident Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors to determine their entitlement, if any, to relief under an applicable tax treaty, if applicable.

A Dissenting Non-Resident Holder who transfers Shares to the Company for cancellation will also be considered to have disposed of their Shares for proceeds of disposition equal to the amount paid to such Dissenting Resident Holder (other than any portion of the payment that is interest awarded by a court in connection with the Delaware Domestication), less the amount of any deemed dividend arising on the transfer described above.

The Dissenting Non-Resident Holder will not be subject to tax under the Tax Act on any capital gain unless the Shares are "taxable Canadian property" to the Dissenting Non-Resident Holder at the time of the exchange and such gain is not exempt from tax under the Tax Act pursuant to the provisions of an applicable tax treaty (if any). See *"Tax Consequences to Shareholders Not Resident in Canada – Disposition of Delaware Shares following the Delaware Domestication"*.

In the event the Shares are "taxable Canadian property" of a Dissenting Non-Resident Holder and the Dissenting Non-Resident Holder is not entitled to an exemption pursuant to the provisions of an applicable tax treaty (if any), any capital gain or capital loss realized by the Dissenting Non-Resident Holder will be treated in the same manner as described under the heading "*Tax Consequences to Shareholders Resident in Canada* – *Taxation of Capital Gains and Capital Losses*" above.

------

Generally, a Dissenting Non-Resident Holder will not be subject to Canadian income or withholding tax under the Tax Act on any interest awarded by a court in connection with the Delaware Domestication.

<u>Certain United States Federal Income Tax Consequences</u>

The following discussion summarizes certain U.S. federal income tax considerations generally applicable to holders of Subordinate Voting Shares relating to the Delaware Domestication.

Except as specifically set forth below, this summary does not discuss applicable tax reporting requirements. In addition, this summary does not take into account the individual facts and circumstances of any particular shareholder that may affect the U.S. federal income tax consequences to such shareholder. Accordingly, this summary is not intended to be, and should not be construed as, legal or U.S. federal income tax advice with respect to any particular shareholder. This summary does not address the U.S. federal net investment income tax, U.S. federal alternative minimum tax, U.S. federal estate and gift tax, U.S. state and local tax, or non-U.S. tax consequences to shareholders of the Delaware Domestication. Each shareholder is urged to consult its own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal, U.S. state and local, and non-U.S. tax consequences related to the Delaware Domestication.

No opinion from U.S. legal counsel or ruling from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service ("**IRS**") has been requested, or is expected to be obtained, regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences described herein. This discussion is not binding on the IRS or any court, and there can be no assurances that the IRS will not take a contrary position or that any contrary position taken by the IRS will not be sustained by a court. This discussion also assumes that the Delaware Domestication is carried out as described in this Proxy Statement.

This summary is based upon the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "**Code**"), Treasury Regulations (whether final, temporary or proposed) promulgated thereunder ("**Treasury Regulations**"), administrative rulings, judicial authorities, published positions of the IRS, the U.S. Treaty, and other applicable authorities, all as in effect on the date hereof. Any of the authorities on which this summary is based could be changed in a material and adverse manner at any time, and any such change could be applied on a retroactive or prospective basis. This discussion only deals with a beneficial owner that holds Subordinate Voting Shares (or, after the Delaware Domestication, Delaware Subordinate Voting Shares), as applicable, as "capital assets" within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment purposes), and does not address the special tax rules that may apply to special classes of taxpayers, such as:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• securities traders, brokers or broker-dealers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• persons that hold Subordinate Voting Shares (or, after the Delaware Domestication, Delaware Subordinate Voting Shares) of a straddle, appreciated financial position, synthetic security, hedge, conversion transaction or other integrated investment;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• U.S. Holders whose "functional currency" is not the U.S. dollar;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• U.S. expatriates or former long-term residents of the U.S.;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• persons that are owners of an interest in a partnership or other pass-through entity that is a holder of Subordinate Voting Shares (or, after the Delaware Domestication, Delaware Subordinate Voting Shares);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• partnerships or other pass-through entities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• persons that take the position that their Subordinate Voting Shares meet the requirements under Section 1202 of the Code;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• regulated investment companies or real estate investment trusts;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• banks, thrifts, mutual funds and other financial institutions;

insurance companies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Non-U.S. Holders that are "controlled foreign corporations" or "passive foreign investment companies";

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Non-U.S. Holders that are corporations organized outside the United States, any state thereof, or the District of Columbia that are nonetheless treated as U.S. persons for U.S. federal income tax purposes;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• U.S. Holders that hold Subordinate Voting Shares (or, after the Delaware Domestication, Delaware Subordinate Voting Shares) in connection with a trade or business, permanent establishment or fixed base outside the United States;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• S corporations and the shareholders in such corporations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• persons that actually or constructively own 5% or more of the voting power or value of the Company's outstanding shares (except as specifically provided below);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• traders that have elected a mark-to-market method of accounting;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• tax-exempt organizations and pension funds;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• corporations that accumulate earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• persons who hold Company Options, Company RSUs and Company PSUs or persons who received their Subordinate Voting Shares (or, after the Delaware Domestication, Delaware Subordinate Voting Shares) upon the exercise or cancellation of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation or through a tax-qualified retirement plan.

For purposes of this summary, a "**U.S. Holder**" means a beneficial owner of Subordinate Voting Shares (or, after the Delaware Domestication, Delaware Subordinate Voting Shares) who is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an individual citizen or resident of the United States;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes), created or organized under the laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a trust (i) that validly elects to be treated as a U.S. person for U.S. federal income tax purposes or (ii) the administration over which a U.S. court can exercise primary supervision and all substantial decisions of which one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control.

For purposes of this summary, a "**Non-U.S. Holder**" is a beneficial owner of Subordinate Voting Shares (or, after the Delaware Domestication, Delaware Subordinate Voting Shares) that is not a U.S. Holder and is not classified for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a partnership.

If a partnership (including an entity classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds Subordinate Voting Shares (or, after the Delaware Domestication, Delaware Subordinate Voting Shares), the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will generally depend on the status of such partner and the activities of the partnership. A shareholder that is a partnership and the partners (or other owners) in such partnership is urged to consult their own tax advisors about the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Delaware Domestication

**This summary is of a general nature only for informational purposes and is not legal or tax advice to any particular shareholder. This summary is not exhaustive of all U.S. income tax considerations. Consequently, shareholders are urged to consult their own tax advisors to determine the particular tax effects to them of the Delaware Domestication and of any other consequences to them in connection with the Plan of Arrangement under U.S. federal, state, and local tax laws and non-U.S. tax laws, having regard to their own particular circumstances.**

*Treatment of the Company for U.S. Federal Income Tax Purposes*

A corporation is generally considered for U.S. federal income tax purposes to be a tax resident in the jurisdiction of its organization or incorporation; however, although the Company exists under the laws of British Columbia, it has taken the position that it is a U.S. domestic corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes pursuant to Section 7874(b) of the Code, which provides an exception to this general rule.

For purposes of this Proxy Statement, it is assumed that the Company is currently treated as a U.S. domestic corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. This position is subject to challenge by the IRS, and no assurance can be given that the IRS or a court will agree with this classification. The balance of this discussion assumes that the Company is currently

------

classified as a U.S. domestic corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes pursuant to Section 7874(b) of the Code. Generally, the Company is, and will continue to be, subject to U.S. federal income tax on its worldwide taxable income (regardless of whether such income is U.S.-source or foreign-source) and will be required to file a U.S. federal income tax return annually with the IRS.

*Effects of the Delaware Domestication on U.S. Shareholders*

The Company intends that the Delaware Domestication be treated as a tax-deferred transaction under Section 368(a) of the Code. Specifically, the Company intends that the Delaware Domestication qualify as a tax-deferred reorganization under Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code (an "**F Reorganization**"). Pursuant to the Delaware Domestication, the Company will change its jurisdiction of incorporation from British Columbia, Canada to Delaware in the United States. The Company has not sought or obtained either a ruling from the IRS or an opinion of U.S. legal counsel regarding any of the tax consequences of the Delaware Domestication. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the IRS will not challenge the status of the Delaware Domestication as an F Reorganization or that U.S. courts will uphold the status of the Delaware Domestication as an F Reorganization in the event of an IRS challenge. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their own U.S. tax advisors regarding the proper tax reporting of the

Delaware Domestication.

Assuming the Delaware Domestication qualifies as an F Reorganization, the general U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Delaware Domestication are as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• U.S. Holders of Subordinate Voting Shares generally should not recognize income, gain or loss upon the surrender of the Subordinate Voting Shares and the receipt of the Delaware Subordinate Voting Shares as a result of the Delaware Domestication.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The tax basis of a Delaware Subordinate Voting Share received by a U.S. Holder in the Delaware Domestication will equal the U.S. Holder's tax basis in the Subordinate Voting Share surrendered in exchange therefor.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The holding period for a Delaware Subordinate Voting Share received by a U.S. Holder generally will include such U.S. Holder's holding period for the Subordinate Voting Share surrendered in exchange therefor.

If the Delaware Domestication does not qualify as an F Reorganization, then the following U.S. federal income tax consequences would generally result for U.S. Holders:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a U.S. Holder would recognize gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between (i) the fair market value (expressed in U.S. dollars) of the Delaware Subordinate Voting Shares deemed to be received in exchange for Subordinate Voting Shares pursuant to the Delaware Domestication and (ii) the adjusted tax basis (expressed in U.S. dollars) of such U.S. Holder in its Subordinate Voting Shares immediately prior to the Delaware Domestication;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the tax basis of a U.S. Holder in the Delaware Subordinate Voting Shares deemed to be received in exchange for Subordinate Voting Shares pursuant to the Delaware Domestication would be equal to the fair market value of such Delaware Subordinate Voting Shares on the date of receipt; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the holding period of a U.S. Holder for the Delaware Subordinate Voting Shares deemed to be received in exchange for Subordinate Voting Shares pursuant to the Delaware Domestication would begin on the day after the date of receipt.

Any gain or loss described in the first clause immediately above generally would be capital gain or loss, which will be long-term capital gain or loss if such Subordinate Voting Shares are held for longer than one year. Preferential tax rates apply to long-term capital gains of a U.S. Holder that is an individual, estate, or trust. There are currently no preferential tax rates for long-term capital gains of a U.S. Holder that is a corporation. Deductions for capital losses are subject to complex limitations under the Code.

------

*Effects of the Delaware Domestication on Non-U.S. Shareholders*

Assuming the Delaware Domestication qualifies as an F Reorganization, and subject to the following discussion regarding FIRPTA (as defined below), the Delaware Domestication should generally not result in any U.S. federal income tax consequences to Non-U.S. Holders.

If the Delaware Domestication does not qualify as an F Reorganization, a Non-U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax (including withholding tax) on gain upon the deemed exchange of Subordinate Voting Shares for Delaware Subordinate Voting Shares pursuant to the Delaware Domestication unless (i) such gain is effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder's conduct of a trade or business in the United States within the meaning of Section 871(b) of the Code and, if an applicable tax treaty applies, is attributable to a permanent establishment maintained by the Non-U.S. Holder in the United States, in which case, the branch profits tax discussed below may also apply if the Non-U.S. Holder is a corporation; or (ii) the non-U.S. Holder is an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of which includes the Delaware Domestication and certain additional conditions are met.

An individual Non-U.S. Holder who is subject to U.S. federal income tax because the Non-U.S. Holder was present in the United States for 183 days or more during the year of disposition is taxed on his or her net gain, including gain from the deemed exchange of Subordinate Voting Shares for Delaware Subordinate Voting Shares pursuant to the Delaware Domestication and net of applicable U.S. losses from the sale or exchange of other capital assets incurred during the same taxable year, at a flat rate of 30%.

Other Non-U.S. Holders that may be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the deemed disposition of Subordinate Voting Shares are required to pay tax on the net gain derived from the sale under regular graduated U.S. federal income tax rates, and corporate non-U.S. Holders may also be subject to branch profits tax at a 30% rate or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty. Non-U.S. Holders should consult any applicable income tax treaties that may provide for different results.

*FIRPTA*

In general, under the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act ("**FIRPTA**"), a Non-U.S. Holder of Subordinate Voting Shares will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax under FIRPTA as a result of the Delaware Domestication unless the Company is or has been a "United States real property holding corporation" (a "**USRPHC**") for U.S. federal income tax purposes at any time during the shorter of the Non-U.S. Holder's holding period or the 5-year period ending on the date of disposition of Subordinate Voting Shares pursuant to the Delaware Domestication; provided that as long as the Subordinate Voting Shares are regularly traded on an established securities market as determined under the Treasury Regulations (the "**Regularly Traded Exception**") at the time of the Delaware Domestication, a Non-U.S. Holder would not be subject to taxation under FIRPTA on the exchange of Subordinate Voting Shares pursuant to the Delaware Domestication unless the Non-U.S. Holder has owned: (i) more than 5% of the Subordinate Voting Shares at any time during such 5-year or shorter period; or (ii) aggregate equity securities of the Company with a fair market value on the date acquired in excess of 5% of the fair market value of the Subordinate Voting Shares on such date (in any case, a "**5% Shareholder**"). In determining whether a Non-U.S. Holder is a 5% Shareholder, certain attribution rules apply in determining ownership for this purpose. While not free from doubt, the Company believes that it is not currently, and believes it has not been during the past five years, a USRPHC.

The Subordinate Voting Shares currently trade on the NYSE. At this time, it is uncertain whether the Subordinate Voting Shares will continue to be considered as being regularly traded on an established securities market in the U.S. Accordingly, the Company expects the Subordinate Voting Shares to qualify for the Regularly Traded Exception on the date of the Delaware Domestication but can provide no assurances that the Subordinate Voting Shares will meet the Regularly Traded Exception on such date.

------

If the Company were to have constituted a USRPHC during the shorter of the Non-U.S. Holder's holding period or the 5-year period ending on the date of deemed disposition of Subordinate Voting Shares pursuant to the Delaware Domestication and constitutes a USRPHC immediately after the Delaware Domestication, a 5% Shareholder could avoid certain U.S. taxes in connection with the Delaware Domestication under the foregoing FIRPTA rules by timely filing with the IRS a notice of nonrecognition complying with Section 897 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations issued thereunder.

Non-U.S. Holders are urged to consult with their own tax advisors regarding the consequences to them of FIRPTA rules.

*Payments Related to Dissent Rights*

*<u>U.S. Holders</u>*

A U.S. Holder of Subordinate Voting Shares that exercises Dissent Rights in connection with the Delaware Domestication and is paid cash in exchange for all of its Subordinate Voting Shares will generally recognize taxable gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between (1) the amount of cash received by such U.S. Holder in exchange for its Subordinate Voting Shares (other than amounts, if any, that are or are deemed to be interest for U.S. federal income tax purposes, which amounts will be taxed as ordinary income), and (2) the tax basis of the U.S. Holder in its Subordinate Voting Shares surrendered. Preferential tax rates apply to long-term capital gains of a U.S. Holder that is an individual, estate, or trust. There are no preferential tax rates for long-term capital gains of a U.S. Holder that is a corporation. Deductions for capital losses are subject to complex limitations under the Code.

*<u>Non-U.S. Holders</u>*

Subject to the discussions below under "Information Reporting and Backup Withholding", a Non-U.S. Holder will generally not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on any gain recognized upon the exercise of Dissent Rights in connection with the Delaware Domestication unless:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the gain is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business carried on by the Non-U.S. Holder (and, where an income tax treaty applies, is attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment of the Non-U.S. Holder), in which case the Non-U.S. Holder will be subject to tax on the net gain from the sale at regular graduated U.S. federal income tax rates, and if the Non-U.S. Holder is a corporation, may be subject to an additional U.S. branch profits tax at a gross rate equal to 30% of its effectively connected earnings and profits for that taxable year, subject to any exemption or

lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the Non-U.S. Holder is an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of disposition and certain other conditions are met, in which case the Non-U.S. Holder will be subject to a 30% tax on the gain from the sale, which may be offset by U.S. source capital losses; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the Company is or has been a USRPHC for U.S. federal income tax purposes at any time during the shorter of the Non-U.S. Holder's holding period or the five-year period ending on the date of the Delaware Domestication and either, (i) the Subordinate Voting Shares do not satisfy the Regularly Traded Exception or (ii) such Non-U.S. Holder has owned more than 5% of the Subordinate Voting Shares at any time during such 5-year or shorter period. For a discussion of the Company's status as a USRPHC, see discussion above under "FIRPTA".

Non-U.S. Holders should consult with their tax advisors regarding potentially applicable income tax treaties that may provide for different rules.

*Interest Payment Related to Dissent Rights*

A U.S. Holder or Non-U.S. Holder of Subordinate Voting Shares that receives payment pursuant to the exercise of Dissent Rights may also receive an amount of interest income. Any such interest income that is received by a U.S. Holder will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at ordinary income rates. Any such interest income that is received by a Non-U.S. Holder

------

should not be subject to U.S. federal income tax unless the interest income is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business (and, if a United States income tax treaty applies, is attributable to a permanent establishment maintained) within the United States by the Non-U.S. Holder, in which event the interest income will be subject to U.S. federal income

tax at ordinary income rates.

If the Non-U.S. Holder is classified as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, any interest income that is treated as effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business may also be subject to a U.S. branch profits tax at a gross rate equal to 30% of its effectively connected earnings and profits for that taxable year, subject to any exemption or lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty. The effectively connected income will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax withholding; if the Non-U.S. Holder furnishes a properly completed IRS Form W-8ECI (or a suitable successor form) to the person that otherwise would be required to withhold such U.S. federal income tax.

Interest income that is not effectively connected with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business will be subject to U.S. federal income tax withholding unless the Non-U.S. Holder furnishes a properly completed applicable IRS Form W-8B that properly establishes an exemption.

*Information Reporting and Backup Withholding*

U.S. Holders of Subordinate Voting Shares that exercise Dissent Rights may be subject to information reporting and may be subject to backup withholding, currently at a rate of 24%, on any cash payments received upon surrender of the Subordinate Voting Shares.

Backup withholding generally will not apply, however, to a U.S. Holder who:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• furnishes a correct taxpayer identification number and certifies that he, she or it is not subject to backup withholding on IRS Form W-9 (or any successor form); or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• is otherwise exempt from backup withholding.

A Non-U.S. Holder who provides an appropriate certification (such as an IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E) to the applicable withholding agent attesting to its status as a non-U.S. person and otherwise qualifies for exemption should not be subject to the backup withholding and information reporting requirements.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld from a payment to a shareholder under the backup withholding rules may be credited against the shareholder's U.S. federal income tax liability, and a shareholder may generally obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld by filing the appropriate claim for refund with the IRS in a timely manner and furnishing any required information.

The discussion of reporting requirements set forth above is not intended to constitute an exhaustive description of all reporting requirements that may apply to a U.S. Holder or Non-U.S. Holder. A failure to satisfy certain reporting requirements may result in an extension of the time period during which the IRS can assess a tax, and under certain circumstances, such an extension may apply to assessments of amounts unrelated to any unsatisfied reporting requirement. Each U.S. Holder and Non-U.S. Holder is urged to consult its own tax advisor regarding applicable reporting requirements and the information reporting and backup withholding rules.

------

*FATCA Withholding*

Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code ("**FATCA**") may impose withholding at a rate of 30% in certain circumstances on dividends in respect of Subordinate Voting Shares, which are held by or through certain foreign financial institutions (including investment funds), unless any such institution (1) enters into, and complies with, an agreement with the IRS to report, on an annual basis, information with respect to interests in, and accounts maintained by, the institution that are owned by certain U.S. persons and by certain non-U.S. entities that are wholly or partially owned by U.S. persons and to withhold on certain payments, or (2) if required under an intergovernmental agreement between the United States and an applicable foreign country, reports such information to its local tax authority, which will exchange such information with the IRS.

The United States has entered into, and continues to negotiate, intergovernmental agreements (each, an "IGA") with a number of other jurisdictions to facilitate the implementation of FATCA. An IGA may significantly alter the application of FATCA and its information reporting and withholding requirements with respect to any particular investor. FATCA is particularly complex and its application remains uncertain. Non-U.S. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding how these rules may apply in their particular circumstances.

Similarly, dividends in respect of Subordinate Voting Shares held by a holder that is a non-financial non-U.S. entity that does not qualify under certain exceptions will generally be subject to withholding at a rate of 30%, unless such entity either (1) certifies to the Company or the applicable withholding agent that such entity does not have any "substantial United States owners" or (2) provides certain information regarding the entity's "substantial United States owners," which will in turn be provided to the U.S. Department of Treasury. FATCA withholding also potentially applies to payments of gross proceeds from the sale or other taxable disposition of Subordinate Voting Shares. Proposed Treasury Regulations, however, would eliminate FATCA withholding on such payments, and the U.S. Treasury Department has indicated that taxpayers may rely on this aspect of the proposed Treasury Regulations until final Treasury Regulations are issued.

Non-U.S. Holders are urged to consult with their own tax advisors regarding the possible implications of the foregoing rules on their holding of Subordinate Voting Shares.

**SECURITIES LAW MATTERS**

The following discussion of Canadian and U.S. securities laws and their application to the Delaware Domestication is necessarily general and accordingly is not intended and should not be relied upon as legal advice. Therefore, shareholders should consult with their legal advisors regarding applicable resale restrictions relating to securities issuable to them in connection with Delaware Domestication.

*Canada*

Any restrictions on the resale of securities of the Company applicable under Canadian securities laws before the Delaware Domestication will continue to apply after completion of the Delaware Domestication.

*United States*

Upon completion of the Delaware Domestication, the shareholders (other than Dissenting Shareholders) and other securityholders of the Company will be deemed to receive the Delaware Subordinate Voting Shares, the Delaware Multiple Voting Shares, the Delaware Options, the Delaware RSUs and the Delaware PSUs, as applicable, as of the Effective Date without further act or formality.

The Delaware Subordinate Voting Shares, the Delaware Multiple Voting Shares, the Delaware Options, the Delaware RSUs and the Delaware PSUs that may be deemed to be issued or exchanged upon completion of the Delaware Domestication are not being registered under the U.S. Securities Act or under any U.S. state securities laws. In that regard,

------

the Company is relying on the Section 3(a)(10) Exemption, which provides an exemption from registration under the U.S. Securities Act for any security which is issued in exchange for one or more bona fide outstanding securities, where the terms and conditions of such issuance and exchange are approved, after a hearing upon the fairness of such terms and conditions, by a court expressly authorized by law to grant such approval and on exemptions from registration or qualification requirements under applicable U.S. state securities laws. Based on interpretations of the Section 3(a)(10) Exemption by the SEC, the Company believes that the approval of the Supreme Court of British Columbia of the Plan of Arrangement will satisfy the requirements of the Section 3(a)(10) Exemption.

The Delaware Subordinate Voting Shares that may be deemed to be issued or exchanged upon completion of the Delaware Domestication may generally be resold without restriction under the U.S. Securities Act if the shareholders receiving Delaware Common Stock in the Delaware Domestication are not "affiliates" (as defined under Rule 144(a)(1) under the U.S. Securities Act) of the Company and have not been affiliates within 90 days of the date of completion of the Delaware Domestication, as such securities would not constitute "restricted securities" within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the U.S. Securities Act. If the Delaware Subordinate Voting Shares are held by affiliates of the Company, those shareholders may be able to resell the Delaware Subordinate Voting Shares in accordance with the provisions of Rule 144 under the U.S. Securities Act.

The Delaware Subordinate Voting Shares issuable upon exercise of the Delaware Options, the Delaware Subordinate Voting Shares issuable upon settlement of the Delaware RSUs or Delaware PSUs, as applicable, will not be eligible for the Section 3(a)(10) Exemption. The underlying Subordinate Voting Shares will be "restricted securities" within the meaning of Rule 144 under the U.S. Securities Act, and, unless registered, may be issued only pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act.

*Reporting and Trading*

Notwithstanding the Delaware Domestication, the Company will continue to be a "reporting issuer" in each of the Provinces and Territories of Canada and a domestic issuer under applicable SEC rules and will continue to be subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act.

The Subordinate Voting Shares currently trade on NYSE under the symbol "TRLV". After completion of the Delaware Domestication, the Company expects that the Delaware Common Stock will be listed for trading on NYSE in place of the Subordinate Voting Shares and the trading symbol on the NYSE will remain the same.

**RISK FACTORS RELATED TO THE DELAWARE DOMESTICATION**

In addition to the other information in this Proxy Statement, shareholders should carefully consider the following risk factors related to the Delaware Domestication:

*The Delaware Domestication may not be completed.* The completion of the Delaware Domestication is subject to the approval of the Arrangement Resolution by shareholders and the receipt of the Final Order from the Court. There can be no assurance that the Delaware Domestication will be completed. If the Delaware Domestication is not completed for any reason, the Company will remain a British Columbia corporation and shareholders will not realize the anticipated benefits of the Delaware Domestication.

*The rights of shareholders will change as a result of the Delaware Domestication.* Following the Delaware Domestication, the rights of shareholders will be governed by Delaware law rather than British Columbia law. The rights of shareholders under Delaware law may differ in material respects from the rights they currently have under British Columbia law. Shareholders should carefully review the section entitled "*Comparison of Shareholders' Rights Under British Columbia and Delaware Law*" in this Proposal 1.

------

*The anticipated benefits of the Delaware Domestication may not be realized.* There can be no assurance that the benefits anticipated from the Delaware Domestication will be realized. If such benefits are not realized, the Company will have incurred transaction costs in connection with the Delaware Domestication that it will not recover.

*The Company will incur non-recurring costs related to the Delaware Domestication*. The Company expects to incur a number of non-recurring costs associated with the Delaware Domestication. There can be no assurance that the actual costs will not exceed those estimated and the actual completion of the Delaware Domestication may result in additional and unforeseen expenses. In addition, the Company will incur legal, accounting and other professional services fees and other costs related to the Delaware Domestication. Some of these costs will be payable whether or not the Delaware Domestication is completed. While it is expected that benefits of the Delaware Domestication achieved by the Company will offset these transaction costs over time, this net benefit may not be achieved in the short-term or at all, particularly if the Delaware Domestication is delayed or does not happen at all. In addition, the Company may incur increased compliance costs arising from complying with both the U.S. and Canadian, ongoing reporting and disclosure regimes. These combined factors could adversely affect the business, operating profit and overall financial condition of the Company.

*The Company may be the target of securities class action and derivative lawsuits which could result in substantial costs and may delay or prevent the Delaware Domestication from being completed*. Even if the securities class actions or derivative lawsuits are without merit, defending against these claims can result in substantial costs and divert management time and resources. Additionally, if a plaintiff is successful in obtaining an injunction prohibiting consummation of the Delaware. Domestication, then that injunction may delay or prevent the Delaware Domestication from being completed. Moreover, any litigation could be time consuming and expensive and could divert the Company's management's attention away from their regular business.

*Payments in connection with the exercise of Dissent Rights by Dissenting Holders may impair the Company's financial resources*. Under the BCBCA, shareholders who (1) do not vote in favor of the Arrangement Resolution, (2) deliver to the Company a written notice of dissent, (3) continuously hold their shares through the Effective Time and (4) otherwise comply with the requirements and procedures of Section 237 to 247 of the BCBCA, are entitled to receive payment in cash of the "fair value" of their shares. Should a material number of shareholders exercise dissent rights, a substantial cash payment may be required to be made to such Dissenting Holders that could have an adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and cash resources if the Delaware Domestication is completed.

*Enforcement of Rights Against the Company in Canada*. The Company will be located outside of Canada and, following the Effective Time, all of its directors, officers and experts are expected to reside outside of Canada. Accordingly, it may not be possible for Canadian shareholders to effect service of process within Canada upon the Company or its directors, officers or experts, or to enforce judgments obtained in Canadian courts against the Company or its directors, officers or experts.

**SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL**

In order for the Delaware Domestication to proceed, the Arrangement Resolution must be approved by: (i) at least 66 2/3% of the votes cast at the Meeting by the holders of Subordinate Voting Shares and the holders of Multiple Voting Shares (voting together as a single class); (ii) at least 66 2/3% of the votes cast at the Meeting by the holders of Subordinate Voting Shares (voting separately as a class); (iii) at least 66 2/3% of the votes cast at the Meeting by the holders of Multiple Voting Shares (voting separately as a class). Pursuant to the Interim Order, each holder of Subordinate Voting Shares is entitled to one (1) vote for each Subordinate Voting Share held, and each holder of Multiple Voting Shares is entitled to one hundred (100) votes for each Multiple Voting Share held.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Arrangement Resolution authorizes the Board, without further notice to or approval of the shareholders, to decide not to proceed with the Delaware Domestication, and to revoke the Arrangement Resolution for any reason at any time prior to the Delaware Domestication becoming effective pursuant to the provisions of the BCBCA.

------

**RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD** 

The Board has determined that the Delaware Domestication is fair and reasonable, that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders and unanimously recommends that shareholders vote "**FOR**" the Arrangement Resolution.

In coming to its conclusion and recommendations, the Board considered, among others, the following factors:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the purpose and benefits of the Delaware Domestication as outlined herein;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• completion of the Delaware Domestication requires the Court to approve the Plan of Arrangement after a hearing at which fairness of the Delaware Domestication to shareholders will be considered;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a special departure tax under Canadian tax laws applies to the Company as a result of the Delaware Domestication completed as part of the Plan of Arrangement; however, management of the Company currently expects that the special departure tax will not be a material amount; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the shareholders that oppose the Delaware Domestication may, subject to compliance with certain conditions, dissent with respect to the Arrangement Resolution and if the Delaware Domestication is completed, be entitled to be paid the fair value for their shares in accordance with section 237 to 247 of the BCBCA, the Plan of Arrangement, the Interim Order and the Final Order.

**OUR BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE "<u>FOR</u>" THE ARRANGEMENT RESOLUTION APPROVING THE DELAWARE DOMESTICATION IN PROPOSAL 1.**

**PROPOSAL 2: APPROVAL OF ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL**

The Board believes that if the number of shares outstanding and entitled to vote at the Meeting and voting in favor of any one or more of the proposal presented at the Meeting is insufficient to approve Proposal 1, it is in the best interests of the shareholders to enable the Board to continue to seek to obtain a sufficient number of additional votes to approve such proposals. In this Proposal 2, we are asking shareholders to authorize the holder of any proxy solicited by the Board to vote in favor of adjourning or postponing the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. If our shareholders approve this Proposal 2, we could adjourn or postpone the Meeting, and any adjourned session of the Meeting, to use the additional time to solicit additional proxies in favor of Proposal 1.

**Adjournment Process and Timing** 

If Proposal 2 is approved and the Meeting is adjourned, the Company intends to use the adjournment period to continue soliciting proxies from shareholders who have not yet voted or who voted against Proposal 1. The length of any adjournment will depend on the number of additional votes needed and the Company's assessment of the time required to obtain them. The Company does not currently anticipate that any adjournment would exceed 30 days, although the Board retains discretion to determine the appropriate length of any adjournment.

If the Meeting is adjourned for more than 30 days, or if a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, the Company will provide notice of the adjourned meeting to stockholders as required by the Company's Articles. If the adjournment is for 30 days or less and no new record date is fixed, no additional notice will be required, and the time, date, and location of the adjourned meeting will be announced at the Meeting.

------

**Vote Required for Approval** 

The affirmative vote of affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present or represented by proxy at the Meeting is required for this Proposal 2. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not have an effect on the outcome of this Proposal 2.

**OUR BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE "<u>FOR</u>" THE APPROVAL TO ADJOURN THE MEETING TO A LATER DATE OR DATES, IF NECESSARY OR APPROPRIATE, TO SOLICIT ADDITIONAL PROXIES IN THIS PROPOSAL 2.**

**OTHER MATTERS**

The Board does not know of any matters other than those described in this Proxy Statement that will be presented for action at the Meeting. If other matters are presented, proxies will be voted in accordance with the best judgment of the proxy holders.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no case will the Company or any other person be required to recognize such holders who purport to exercise Dissent Rights as holders of Subordinate Voting Shares or Multiple Voting Shares, as applicable, after the time that is immediately prior to the Effective Time, and the name of such holders of Subordinate Voting Shares or Multiple Voting Shares, as applicable, who exercise Dissent Rights will cease to be entitled to the rights of a shareholder in respect of the Subordinate Voting Shares or Multiple Voting Shares, as applicable, and the central securities register of the Company will be amended to reflect that such former holder is no longer the holder of such Subordinate Voting Shares or Multiple Voting Shares, as applicable, as at the Effective Time. The fair value of the Subordinate Voting Shares or Multiple Voting Shares, as applicable, for the purposes of the Dissent Rights shall be determined as of the close of business on the last Business Day before the day on which the Arrangement is approved by the Shareholders at the Meeting. For greater certainty, in addition to any other restrictions in sections 237 to 247 of the BCBCA, none of the following shall be entitled to exercise Dissent Rights: (i) any person who has voted, or has instructed a proxyholder to vote, in favor of the special resolution to approve the Arrangement at the Meeting; and (ii) holders of Company Options, Company RSUs, Company PSUs and 2030 Notes.

The Corporation will send a written notice confirming the amount of the Redemption Price promptly following the determination of such Redemption Price.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)To the extent permitted under applicable law, the Corporation may pay the Redemption Price by using its existing cash resources, incurring debt, issuing additional Subordinate Voting Shares, issuing a promissory note in the name of the Unsuitable Person, or by using a combination of the foregoing sources of funding.

Following any Redemption in accordance with the terms herein, the redeemed shares of Common Stock will be cancelled.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.<u>Dividends</u>. Holders of Multiple Voting Shares shall be entitled to receive, as and when declared by the Board, out of funds legally available therefor, dividends in cash or property of the Corporation pari passu, on an as-converted to Subordinate Voting Shares basis, as to any declaration and payment of any dividend on the Subordinate Voting Shares. The Corporation shall not declare, pay or set aside any dividends on Multiple Voting Shares unless (in addition to the obtaining of any consents required elsewhere in this Certificate of Incorporation) each holder of Subordinate Voting Shares shall simultaneously receive a dividend on each Subordinate Voting Share so held in an amount at least equal to (A) the dividend declared, paid or set aside per Multiple Voting Share divided by (B) the number of Subordinate Voting Shares issuable upon conversion of a Multiple Voting Share. In the event of payment of a dividend in the form of capital stock, holders of Multiple Voting Shares shall receive Multiple Voting Shares, unless otherwise determined by the Board.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.<u>Liquidation</u>. In the event of (a) any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the holders of Multiple Voting Shares then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders, or (b) a Deemed Liquidation Event, the holders of Multiple Voting Shares then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid out of the consideration payable to stockholders in such Deemed Liquidation Event or out of the Available Proceeds, as applicable, on a pari passu basis, on an as-converted to Subordinate Voting Share basis, with the holders of Subordinate Voting Shares, and subject to the rights of holders of any series of Preferred Stock outstanding as set forth in the applicable Preferred Stock Designation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.<u>Subdivision or Consolidation</u>. No subdivision or consolidation of the Multiple Voting Shares may be carried out unless, at the same time, the Subordinate Voting Shares are subdivided or consolidated in a manner so as to preserve the relative rights of the holders of each class of securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.<u>Protective Provisions</u>. The Corporation shall not, either directly or indirectly by amendment, merger, consolidation, domestication, transfer, continuance, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, waiver, statutory conversion or otherwise, either (a) amend, alter or repeal any provision of this Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws of the Corporation in a manner that adversely affects the special rights, powers and preferences of the Multiple Voting Shares, or (b) create any class or series of Common Stock unless the same ranks junior to the Multiple Voting Shares with respect to its special rights, powers and preferences, in either case without (in addition to any other vote required by law or this Certificate of Incorporation) the affirmative vote of the holders of at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of the outstanding Multiple Voting Shares, voting as a separate class.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.<u>Conversion Rights</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)<u>Optional Conversion</u>. Holders of Multiple Voting Shares may convert, at such holder's option, at any time, and without the payment of additional consideration by the holder thereof, Multiple Voting Shares into such number of fully paid and non-assessable Subordinate Voting Shares as is determined by multiplying the number of Multiple Voting Shares to be converted by the Conversion Ratio. The "**Conversion Ratio**" applicable to the Multiple Voting Shares as of the original date of issue shall be equal to one hundred (100) Subordinate Voting Shares per Multiple Voting Share. Such initial Conversion Ratio shall be subject to adjustment as provided in this <u>Article Fourth.B.7</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)<u>Number of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion</u>. The number of Subordinate Voting Shares issuable to a holder of Multiple Voting Shares upon conversion of such Multiple Voting Shares shall be the nearest whole share, after aggregating all fractional interests in Subordinate Voting Shares that would otherwise be issuable upon conversion of all Multiple Voting Shares being converted by such holder (with any fractional interests after such aggregation representing 0.5 or greater of a whole share being entitled to a whole share). For the avoidance of doubt, no fractional interests in Subordinate Voting Shares shall be created or

------

issuable as a result of the conversion of the Multiple Voting Shares pursuant to this <u>Article Fourth.B.7</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)<u>Notice of Conversion</u>. In order for a holder of Multiple Voting Shares to voluntarily convert Multiple Voting Shares into Subordinate Voting Shares pursuant to <u>Article Fourth.B.7(a)</u>, such holder shall (i) provide written notice to the Corporation's transfer agent at the office of the transfer agent for the Multiple Voting Shares (or at the principal office of the Corporation if the Corporation serves as its own transfer agent) that such holder elects to convert all or any number of such holder's Multiple Voting Shares and, if applicable, any event on which such conversion is contingent, and (ii) if such holder's shares are certificated, surrender the certificate or certificates for such Multiple Voting Shares (or, if such registered holder alleges that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation against any claim that may be made against the Corporation on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate), at the office of the transfer agent for the Multiple Voting Shares (or at the principal office of the Corporation if the Corporation serves as its own transfer agent). Such notice shall state such holder's name or the names of the nominees in which such holder wishes the Subordinate Voting Shares to be issued. If required by the Corporation, any certificates surrendered for conversion shall be endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Corporation, duly executed by the registered holder or his, her or its attorney duly authorized in writing. Unless a later time and date is otherwise specified by the Corporation, the close of business on the date of receipt by the transfer agent (or by the Corporation if the Corporation serves as its own transfer agent) of such notice and, if applicable, certificates (or lost certificate affidavit and agreement) shall be the time of conversion (the "**Conversion Time**"), and the Subordinate Voting Shares issuable upon conversion of the specified Multiple Voting Shares shall be deemed to be outstanding of record as of such date. The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable after the Conversion Time, (x) issue and deliver to such holder of Multiple Voting Shares, or to his, her or its nominees, a certificate or certificates for the number of full Subordinate Voting Shares issuable upon such conversion in accordance with the provisions hereof and a certificate for the number (if any) of the Multiple Voting Shares represented by the surrendered certificate that were not converted into Subordinate Voting Shares, and (y) pay all declared but unpaid dividends on the Multiple Voting Shares converted.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)<u>Reservation of Shares</u>. The Corporation shall at all times when the Multiple Voting Shares shall be outstanding, reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued capital stock, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Multiple Voting Shares, such number of its duly authorized Subordinate Voting Shares as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding Multiple Voting Shares; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued Subordinate Voting Shares shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding Multiple Voting Shares, the Corporation shall take such corporate action as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued Subordinate Voting Shares to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes, including, without limitation, engaging in best efforts to obtain the requisite stockholder approval of any necessary amendment to this Certificate of Incorporation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)<u>Effect of Conversion</u>. All Multiple Voting Shares which shall have been surrendered for conversion as herein provided shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights with respect to such shares shall immediately cease and terminate at the Conversion Time or Mandatory Conversion Time, as the case may be, except only the right of the holders thereof to receive Subordinate Voting Shares in exchange therefor and to receive payment of any dividends declared but unpaid thereon.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)<u>Taxes</u>. The holder of Multiple Voting Shares shall pay any and all issue and other similar taxes that may be payable in respect of any issuance or delivery of Subordinate Voting Shares upon conversion of Multiple Voting Shares pursuant to this <u>Article Fourth.B.7</u>. The Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of Subordinate Voting Shares and no such issuance

------

or delivery shall be made unless and until the person or entity requesting such issuance has paid to the Corporation the amount of any such tax or has established, to the satisfaction of the Corporation, that such tax has been paid.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)<u>Adjustment for Stock Splits and Combinations</u>. If the Corporation shall at any time or from time to time effect a subdivision of the outstanding Subordinate Voting Shares, the Conversion Ratio shall be proportionately increased so that the number of Subordinate Voting Shares issuable on conversion of each Multiple Voting Share shall be increased in proportion to such increase in the aggregate number of Subordinate Voting Shares outstanding. If the Corporation shall combine the outstanding Subordinate Voting Shares, the Conversion Ratio in effect immediately before the combination shall be proportionately decreased so that the number of Subordinate Voting Shares issuable on conversion of each Multiple Voting Share shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in the aggregate number of Subordinate Voting Shares outstanding. Any adjustment under this <u>Article Fourth.B.7(h)</u> shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h)<u>Adjustment for Certain Dividends and Distributions</u>. If at any time the Corporation shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Subordinate Voting Shares entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable on the Subordinate Voting Shares in additional Subordinate Voting Shares, then, and in each such event, the Conversion Ratio in effect immediately before such event shall be increased as of the time of such issuance or, if such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying the Conversion Ratio then in effect by a fraction:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)the numerator of which shall be the total number of Subordinate Voting Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date plus the number of Subordinate Voting Shares issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)the denominator of which shall be the total number of Subordinate Voting Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Conversion Ratio shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date and thereafter the Conversion Ratio shall be adjusted pursuant to this <u>Article Fourth.B.7(i)</u> as of the time of actual payment of such dividends or distributions; and (b) no such adjustment shall be made if the holders of Multiple Voting Shares simultaneously receive a dividend or other distribution of Subordinate Voting Shares in a number equal to the number of Subordinate Voting Shares as they would have received if all outstanding Multiple Voting Shares had been converted into Subordinate Voting Shares on the date of such event.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)<u>Adjustments for Other Dividends and Distributions</u>.

To be in proper form, a stockholder's notice to the secretary must:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;set forth, as to the stockholder giving the notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made (x) the name and address of such stockholder, as they appear on the Corporation's books, and

proposed nominee to furnish such other information as may reasonably be required by the Corporation to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as an independent director of the Corporation or that could be material to a reasonable stockholder's understanding of the independence, or lack thereof, of such nominee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;D.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To be eligible to be a nominee for election or reelection as a director of the Corporation, a person must deliver (in accordance with the time periods prescribed for delivery of notice under paragraphs B and C above) to the secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive offices of the Corporation a completed, written and signed questionnaire (in the form customarily used by the Corporation for its directors) with respect to the background and qualification of such person and the background of any other person or entity on whose behalf the nomination is being made (which questionnaire shall be provided by the secretary upon written request) and a written representation and agreement (in the form provided by the secretary upon written request) that such person:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;is not and will not become a party to (x) any agreement, arrangement or understanding with, and has not given any commitment or assurance to, any person or entity as to how such person, if elected as a director of the Corporation, will act or vote on any issue or question (a "Voting Commitment") that has not been disclosed to the Corporation or (y) any Voting Commitment that could limit or interfere with such person's ability to comply, if elected as a director of the Corporation, with such person's fiduciary duties under applicable law;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;is not and will not become a party to any agreement, arrangement or understanding with any person or entity other than the Corporation with respect to any direct or indirect compensation, reimbursement or indemnification in connection with service or action as a director that has not been disclosed therein; and

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;in such person's individual capacity and on behalf of any person or entity on whose behalf the nomination is being made, would be in compliance, if elected as a director of the Corporation, and will comply with all applicable publicly disclosed corporate governance, conflict of interest, confidentiality, and stock ownership and trading policies and guidelines of the Corporation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;E.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this <u>Section 2.14</u>, a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in this <u>Section 2.14</u>, and nothing in this <u>Section 2.14</u> shall be deemed to affect any rights of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the Corporation's proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act (or any successor provision thereof) and, to the extent required by such rule, have such proposals considered and voted on at an annual meeting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;F.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Without exception, no business will be conducted and no person shall be eligible for election as a director of the Corporation at any annual meeting except as brought or nominated in accordance with the provisions set forth in this <u>Section 2.14</u>. In addition, business proposed to be brought by a stockholder may not be brought before the annual meeting, and a nominee shall not be eligible for election, if the notice to the Corporation concerning such business or nomination contains an untrue statement of material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. The chair of the annual meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare at the annual meeting that business was not properly brought before the annual meeting, and/or nomination was not made, in accordance with this <u>Section 2.14</u>, and, if the chair shall so determine, he or she shall so declare at the annual meeting that any such business not properly brought before the meeting shall not be conducted or nomination disregarded.

If the Corporation determines to make the list available on an electronic network, the Corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is only available to the stockholders. Such list shall presumptively determine the identity of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, and the number of shares held by each of them.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;at the registered office of the Corporation, at any time up to and including the last business day before the day set for the holding of the meeting at which the proxy is to be used; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;by the chair of the meeting, before the vote is taken.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;D.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The chair of any meeting of stockholders may, but need not, inquire into the authority of any person to vote at the meeting and may, but need not, demand from that person production of evidence as to the existence of the authority to vote.

The directors may be paid their expenses, if any, of attendance at each meeting of the board of directors and may be paid a fixed sum for attendance at each meeting of the board of directors or a stated salary as director. No such payment shall preclude any director from serving the Corporation in any other capacity and receiving compensation therefor, and remuneration may be in addition to any salary or other remuneration paid to any officer or employee of the Corporation as such, who is also a director.

The loan, guarantee or other assistance may be with or without interest and may be unsecured or secured in such manner as the board of directors shall approve, including, without limitation, a pledge of shares of stock of the Corporation.

ARTICLE VII.<br>INDEMNITY

Section 7.1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Third-Party Actions</u>.

Subject to the provisions of this <u>Article VII</u>, the Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Corporation) by reason of the fact that they are or were a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement (if such settlement is approved in advance by the Corporation, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. The Corporation may, in its sole discretion and on such terms and conditions as the board of directors deems appropriate, indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any such action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that they are or were an employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as an employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against such expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement on the same terms set forth in the preceding sentence. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that their conduct was unlawful.

Section 7.2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Actions by or in the Right of the Corporation</u>.

Subject to the provisions of this <u>Article VII</u>, the Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that they are or were a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit, if they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery or the court in

------

which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Delaware Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper. The Corporation may, in its sole discretion and on such terms and conditions as the board of directors deems appropriate, indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any such action or suit by reason of the fact that they are or were an employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as an employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, against such expenses on the same terms set forth in the preceding sentence. Notwithstanding any other provision of this <u>Article VII</u>, no person shall be indemnified hereunder for any expenses or amounts paid in settlement with respect to any action to recover short-swing profits under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act.

Section 7.3&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Successful Defense</u>.

To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit, or proceeding referred to in <u>Section 7.1</u> and <u>Section 7.2</u>, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, they shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection therewith.

Section 7.4&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Determination of Conduct</u>.

Any indemnification under <u>Section 7.1</u> or <u>Section 7.2</u> (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that the indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because they have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in <u>Section 7.1</u> or <u>Section 7.2</u> and such indemnified person was authorized in advance by the board of directors, as applicable. Such determination shall be made (i) by the board of directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such action, suit, or proceeding or (ii) if such quorum is not obtainable or, even if obtainable, as a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, (iii) by a committee of such directors designated by a majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum, (iv) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (v) by the stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a director, officer, employee, or agent of the Corporation shall be entitled to contest any determination that the director, officer, employee, or agent has not met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in <u>Section 7.1</u> or <u>Section 7.2</u> by petitioning a court of competent jurisdiction.

Section 7.5&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Payment of Expenses in Advance</u>.

Expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit, or proceeding, by an individual who may be entitled to indemnification pursuant to <u>Section 7.1</u> or <u>Section 7.2</u>, shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit, or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that they are not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as

------

authorized in this <u>Article VII</u>. The Corporation may, in its sole discretion and upon such terms and conditions as the board of directors deems appropriate, pay in advance expenses incurred by an employee or agent in defending any such action, suit, or proceeding

Section 7.6&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Indemnity Not Exclusive</u>.

The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by or granted pursuant to the other sections of this <u>Article VII</u> shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in their official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office. The Corporation's obligation, if any, to indemnify any person who was or is serving at its request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, organization or other enterprise shall be reduced by any amount such person may collect as indemnification from such other entity.

Section 7.7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Insurance Indemnification</u>.

The Corporation shall have the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation, as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against them and incurred by them in any such capacity or arising out of their status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify them against such liability under this <u>Article VII</u>.

Section 7.8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Indemnification of Other Persons</u>.

The provisions of this <u>Article VII</u> shall not be deemed to preclude the indemnification of any person who is not a director or officer of the Corporation or is not serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, but whom the Corporation has the power or obligation to indemnify under the DGCL or otherwise. The Corporation may, in its sole discretion, indemnify an employee, trustee, or other agent as permitted by the DGCL. The Corporation shall indemnify an employee, trustee, or other agent where required by law.

Section 7.9&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Savings Clause</u>.

If this <u>Article VII</u> or any portion thereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify each person entitled to indemnification hereunder against expenses (including attorney's fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement with respect to any action, suit, proceeding, or investigation, whether civil, criminal or administrative, and whether internal or external, including a grand jury proceeding and an action or suit brought by or in the right of the Corporation, to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of this <u>Article VII</u> that shall not have been invalidated, or by any other applicable law.

------

Section 7.10&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Continuation of Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses</u>.

The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this <u>Article VII</u> shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee, or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, and administrators of such a person.

Section 7.11&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Conflicts</u>.

No indemnification or advance shall be made under this <u>Article VII</u>, except where such indemnification or advance is mandated by law or the order, judgment or decree of any court of competent jurisdiction, in any circumstance where it appears:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;That it would be inconsistent with a provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws, a resolution of the stockholders or an agreement in effect at the time of the accrual of the alleged cause of the action asserted in the proceeding in which the expenses were incurred or other amounts were paid, which prohibits or otherwise limits indemnification; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;That it would be inconsistent with any condition expressly imposed by a court in approving a settlement.

Section 7.12&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Proceedings Initiated by Indemnitee.</u>

Except for proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification, the Corporation shall not be obligated to indemnify any director or officer (or his heirs, executors, or personal or legal representatives) or advance expenses in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the board of directors.

A proper purpose shall mean a purpose reasonably related to such person's interest as a stockholder. In every instance where an attorney or other agent is the person who seeks the right to inspection, the demand under oath shall be accompanied by a

------

power of attorney or such other writing that authorizes the attorney or other agent so to act on behalf of the stockholder. The demand under oath shall be directed to the Corporation at its registered office in Delaware or at its principal place of business.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A complete list of stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders, arranged in alphabetical order for each class of stock and showing the address of each such stockholder and the number of shares registered in each such stockholder's name, shall be open to the examination of any such stockholder for a period of at least 10 days prior to the meeting in the manner provided by law.

Any director shall have the right to examine the Corporation's stock ledger, a list of its stockholders, and its other books and records for a purpose reasonably related to their position as a director. The Court of Chancery is hereby vested with the exclusive jurisdiction to determine whether a director is entitled to the inspection sought. The Court may summarily order the Corporation to permit the director to inspect any and all books and records, the stock ledger and the stock list, and to make copies or extracts therefrom. The Court may, in its discretion, prescribe any limitations or conditions with reference to the inspection, or award such other and further relief as the Court may deem just and proper.

Section 8.3&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Annual Statement to Stockholders</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively to stockholders, any notice to stockholders given by the Corporation under any provision of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation, or the Bylaws shall be effective if given by a form of electronic transmission consented to by the stockholder to whom the notice is given. A corporation may give a notice by electronic mail without obtaining the consent noted herein. Any such consent shall be revocable by the stockholder by written notice or electronic transmission to the Corporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a notice may not be given by an electronic transmission from and after the time that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the Corporation is unable to deliver by electronic transmission two consecutive notices given by the Corporation; and

(5) A company must not make a payment to a dissenter under this section if there are reasonable grounds for believing that

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the company is insolvent, or

**Loss of right to dissent**

246 The right of a dissenter to dissent with respect to notice shares terminates and this Division, other than section 247, ceases to apply to the dissenter with respect to those notice shares, if, before payment is made to the dissenter of the full amount of money to which the dissenter is entitled under section 245 in relation to those notice shares, any of the following events occur:

**Trulieve**

5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Trulieve is a British Columbia corporation, the largest cannabis retailer in the United States, and is a vertically integrated cannabis company and multi-state operator.

6.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The authorized capital of Trulieve consists of an unlimited number of Subordinate Voting Shares without par value, of which as of June 8, 2026, there are 169,900,759 issued and outstanding, an unlimited number of Multiple Voting Shares without par value, of which as of June 8, 2026, there are 224,063.86 issued and outstanding, and an unlimited number of Super Voting Shares of which no shares are outstanding.

7.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Subordinate Voting Shares and Multiple Voting Shares are "restricted securities" within the meaning of such term under applicable Canadian securities laws. As of June 8, 2026, the Subordinate Voting Shares represent approximately 88.35% of voting rights attached to outstanding securities of the Company and the Multiple Voting Shares represent approximately 11.65% of voting rights attached to outstanding securities of the Company.

8.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The total number of equity shares assuming all are converted into Subordinate Voting Shares as of June 8, 2026 would be 192,307,145.

**OVERVIEW OF THE ARRANGEMENT**

9.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Trulieve proposes, in accordance with sections 186, 289 and 291 of the BCBCA and the Interim Order, to call hold and conduct the Meeting of the Trulieve Shareholders to be held virtually via live webcast on August 5, 2026 commencing at 11:00 a.m. (Eastern Time).

10.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;At the Meeting, the Trulieve Shareholders will:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;consider and, if thought advisable, with or without variation, to pass the Arrangement Resolution to approve the Arrangement under Section 288 of the BCBCA involving, among other things, the Delaware Domestication on the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan of Arrangement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;to conduct any other business as may properly come before the Meeting or any adjournment(s) or postponements of the Meeting.

11.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The purpose of the Arrangement is to complete the Delaware Domestication.

***Effect of the Delaware Domestication on Shareholders***

12.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Upon completion of the Arrangement, Trulieve will complete the Delaware Domestication, which involves the continuance of Trulieve out from the jurisdiction of British Columbia, Canada and domesticate as a corporation under section 388 of the Delaware General Corporation Law under the same corporate name "Trulieve Cannabis Corp.", and in connection therewith, among other things:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;each outstanding Subordinate Voting Share (for greater certainty, other than shares held by Dissenting Shareholders) will be converted into and exchanged for one (1) Delaware Subordinate Voting Share;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;all debts, liabilities, obligations and duties of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time, including the 10.5% senior secured notes of the Company due on December 17, 2030, will remain attached to the Company following the Effective Time and will remain debts, liabilities, obligations and duties of the Company; and

13.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Shareholders will not experience any dilution of their ownership interest in the Company as a result of the Delaware Domestication. Following the Delaware Domestication, the Company expects that the Delaware Subordinate Voting Shares will continue to be listed for trading on the NYSE in place of the Subordinate Voting Shares, and the trading symbols are expected to remain the same.

14.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The members of the Board and officers of the Company are not expected to change as a result of the Delaware Domestication.

15.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Delaware Domestication is not expected to cause any material change in the Company's business or operations.

***Treatment of Securities following the Delaware Domestication***

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- 7 -

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Holders of Subordinate Voting Shares will become holders of Delaware Subordinate Voting Shares and any share certificates or book entries representing the Subordinate Voting Shares will be deemed to represent an identical number of Delaware Subordinate Voting Shares.

Any document previously evidencing Company Options will thereafter evidence Delaware Options and no option agreements evidencing the Delaware Options will be required to be issued and the Delaware Options will be governed by and be subject to the 2021 Plan and applicable award agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Holders of Company RSUs will be holders of Delaware RSUs to receive an identical number of Delaware Subordinate Voting Shares.

Any document previously evidencing Company PSUs will thereafter evidence the Delaware PSUs and no award agreements evidencing the Delaware PSUs will be required to be issued and the Delaware PSUs will be governed by and be subject to the 2021 Plan and applicable award agreement.

**BACKGROUND AND FAIRNESS OF THE ARRANGEMENT** 

***Benefits of the Arrangement***

17.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Trulieve's board of directors (the "**Board**") and management believe that the Arrangement is beneficial to the Trulieve Shareholders for, among others, the following reasons:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;All of the Company's operations are based in the United States and the Company has a stronger business connection to the United States than to Canada or any other country.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company is subject to U.S. federal and state laws and regulations. The Company is subject to the federal laws of the United States and the laws of the U.S. states in which it operates, including the rules and regulations of the SEC and of state cannabis governmental authorities, including those in Delaware.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- 8 -

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Trulieve is a public company registered with the SEC, and Trulieve's Subordinate Voting Shares are registered with the SEC and listed in the United States on the New York Stock Exchange under the trading symbol "TRLV".

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Board believes that reorganizing as a U.S. corporation will enhance shareholder value by increasing acceptance in U.S. capital markets, as shares of a Delaware corporation may be more accessible to U.S. institutional investors than shares of a Canadian corporation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company's financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and not International Financial Reporting Standards.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If U.S. cannabis banking laws are reformed, the Board believes that the Company will have access to additional funding sources as a U.S. corporation rather than being a Canadian corporation, which should provide opportunities for improved financing terms.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Having the Company incorporated in the United States, instead of a non-U.S. jurisdiction, may help address and streamline regulatory matters with U.S. governmental entities and improve interactions with U.S. governmental authorities, politicians and agencies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Delaware has a strong, developed corporate case law and more code-based corporate governance regime than British Columbia, which may provide more predictability and certainty in decision making for the Company and its shareholders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The favorable corporate environment afforded by Delaware may help the Company more effectively conduct its business, including by attracting and retaining skilled, experienced personnel, and potential members of the Board. For many years, Delaware has followed a policy of encouraging incorporation in Delaware and, in furtherance of that policy, has adopted, construed and implemented comprehensive, flexible corporate laws responsive to the legal and business needs of corporations organized under its laws.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Being incorporated in the U.S. may provide the Company's shareholders and the investing community a greater comparability of the Company's shareholder rights and corporate governance to other public companies generally.

18.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Board and management believe that the potential benefits of the change in domicile outweigh the disadvantages and make the proposed Delaware Domestication beneficial to the Company and our shareholders. The Board and management will continue to evaluate the potential benefits and disadvantages of the Delaware Domestication, including prior to making a determination to implement the Delaware Domestication.

***Potential Disadvantages***

19.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Despite the belief of the Board and management that the Delaware Domestication is in the best interests of the Company and the Trulieve Shareholders, the laws of the State of

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- 9 -

Delaware may not afford Trulieve Shareholders the same substantive rights and protections as are available under the laws of British Columbia. The Delaware Domestication includes certain permitted changes to the Company's governing documents which alter the relative rights of the Trulieve Shareholders and management and which may reduce shareholder participation in certain corporate decisions. In addition, following the Delaware Domestication, the Company may be subject to a heightened risk of securities class actions or derivative lawsuits, which can result in substantial costs and divert management time and resources, even if such class actions or lawsuits are without merit.

***Recommendation of the Board***

20.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Board has determined that the Delaware Domestication is fair and reasonable to the Trulieve Shareholders, that it is in the best interests of Trulieve, and, as such, has authorized submission of the Arrangement to the Trulieve Shareholders for approval and if approved, to the Court for the Final Order.

21.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In coming to its conclusion and recommendations, the Board considered, among others, the following factors:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the purpose and benefits of the Arrangement as outlined herein;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;completion of the Arrangement requires the Court to approve the Arrangement after a hearing at which fairness of the Arrangement to Trulieve Shareholders will be considered;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Trulieve is required to pay a special departure tax under Canadian tax laws as a result of the Delaware Domestication completed as part of the Arrangement; however, management of Trulieve currently expects that the special departure tax will not be a material amount; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the Trulieve Shareholders that oppose the Arrangement may, subject to compliance with certain conditions, dissent with respect to the Arrangement Resolution and if the Arrangement is completed, be entitled to be paid the fair value for their Trulieve Shares in accordance with section 237 to 247 of the BCBCA, the Plan of Arrangement, the Interim Order and the Final Order.

**THE MEETING AND APPROVALS**

22.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The record date for the determination of Trulieve Shareholders entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Meeting or any adjournment(s) or postponement(s) of the Meeting be fixed at June 8, 2026 (the "**Record Date**").

23.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In connection with the Meeting, Trulieve intends to provide each of the Trulieve Shareholders the following materials and documentation substantially in the form attached as **Exhibits "A", "C"** to **"E"** to the Affidavit of Raymond Eric Powers III, sworn [], 2026:

**Quorum and Voting**

26.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;At the Meeting, the Trulieve Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if thought advisable, to pass, with or without variation, the Arrangement Resolution authorizing the Arrangement.

27.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;At the Meeting, the votes in respect of the Arrangement Resolution shall be taken on the following basis:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;each registered holder of Trulieve Subordinate Voting Shares whose name is entered on the central securities register of Trulieve as at the close of business on the Record Date is entitled to one (1) vote for each Trulieve Subordinate Voting Share registered in his/her/its name;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;each registered holder of Trulieve Multiple Voting Shares whose name is entered on the central securities register of Trulieve as at the close of business on the Record Date is entitled to one-hundred (100) votes for each Trulieve Multiple Voting Share registered in his/her/its name;

28.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In order to become effective, the Arrangement Resolution must be approved by (i) at least 66 2/3% of the votes cast at the Meeting by the holders of Subordinate Voting Shares and the holders of Multiple Voting Shares (voting together as a single class); (ii) at least 66 2/3% of the votes cast at the Meeting by the holders of Subordinate Voting Shares (voting separately as a class); (iii) at least 66 2/3% of the votes cast at the Meeting by the holders of Multiple Voting Shares (voting separately as a class).

29.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The quorum for the transaction of business at the Meeting will be the presence of at least two persons who are, or who represent by proxy, Trulieve Shareholders who, in the aggregate, hold at least one-third of the issued Trulieve Shares entitled to be voted at the Meeting.

**DISSENT RIGHTS**

30.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Each of the registered Trulieve Shareholders shall have the right to dissent in respect of the Arrangement Resolution in accordance with the provisions of Sections 237 to 247 of

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- 13 -

the BCBCA, as modified by the Plan of Arrangement, the Interim Order and the Final Order, and to be paid an amount equal to the fair value of their Trulieve Shares.

**NO CREDITOR IMPACT**

31.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Arrangement does not contemplate a compromise of any debt or debt instruments of Trulieve and no creditor of Trulieve will be materially negatively affected by the Arrangement.

**U.S. SECURITIES LAW EXEMPTION**

32.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section 3(a)(10) of the United States Securities Act of 1933 (the "**1993 Act**") provides an exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act for the issue of securities in exchange for other outstanding securities where the terms and conditions of the issue and exchange are approved by a court of competent jurisdiction after a hearing upon the fairness of such terms and conditions at which all persons to whom it is proposed to issue such securities shall have the right to appear.

33.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In order to ensure securities issued or made issuable to the Trulieve Shareholders pursuant to the Arrangement will be exempt from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act pursuant to Section 3(a)(10) of the 1933 Act, it is necessary that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the Arrangement is subject to the approval of the Court;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the Court is advised of the intention of the parties to rely upon Section 3(a)(10) of the 1933 Act prior to the hearing at which the Final Order will be sought;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;all Trulieve Shareholders are given adequate notice advising them of their rights to attend the hearing of the Court to approve the Arrangement and are provided with sufficient information necessary for them to exercise that right;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the Court is required to satisfy itself as to the fairness of the Arrangement to the Trulieve Shareholders;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the Trulieve Shareholders that will be issued shares have been advised that such securities have not been registered under the 1933 Act and will be issued in reliance on Section 3(a)(10) of the 1933 Act and exemptions under applicable state securities laws; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the Final Order of the Court will expressly state that the Arrangement is approved by the Court as being fair to the Trulieve Shareholders.

34.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Since the completion of the Arrangement involves issuances of shares to Trulieve Shareholders in the United States, the Petitioner hereby gives notice to the Court of its intention to rely on Section 3(a)(10) of the 1933 Act in completing the Arrangement.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- 14 -

**PART 3:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;LEGAL BASIS**

35.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Petitioner relies on Rules 2-1(2)(b),4-4,4-5 and 16-1 of the Rules of Court, Sections 186 and 288 to 297 of the BCBCA, Section 3(a)(10) of the U.S. Securities Act, and the inherent jurisdiction of this Honourable Court.

36.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Arrangement should be approved because:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The BCBCA's procedures for arrangements have been met, or will have been met by the return of the application for final Court approval of the Arrangement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This Petition is put forward in good faith; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Arrangement is fair and reasonable:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;it has a valid business purpose; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the objections of those whose legal rights are being arranged will be resolved in a fair and balanced way.

**The Approval Process**

37.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Pursuant to Sections 288-297 of the BCBCA, the Arrangement requires the approval of this Honourable Court to proceed.

38.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Sections 288-297 of the BCBCA contemplate a three-step process for Court approval of a plan of arrangement:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The first step is an application for the Interim Order for directions for calling a shareholders meeting to consider and vote on the arrangement. The first application proceeds *ex parte* because of the administrative burden of serving the affected parties;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The second step is the holding of a meeting, where the Arrangement is voted upon, and must be approved by special resolution; and,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The third step is the application for final Court approval of the Arrangement.

See *Pacifica Papers Inc. v. 3017970 et al*, 2001 BCCA 486 at paras. 4-6.

**The Interim Order Hearing**

39.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As this Court held in *Mason Capital Management LLC v. TELUS Corp.*, 2012 BCSC 1582 [*Mason*], the interim order is preliminary in nature and its purpose is simply to "set the wheels in motion for the application process relating to the arrangement and to establish the parameters for the holding of shareholder meetings to consider approval of the arrangement in accordance with the statute":

Consistent with its preliminary nature, in order to grant an interim order a court needs only to satisfy itself that "reasonable grounds exist to regard

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- 15 -

the proposed transaction as an 'arrangement". It is at the fairness hearing that the court must fully examine and determine whether the arrangement meets all applicable statutory requirements, including whether it constitutes an "arrangement", and whether it is procedurally and substantively fair and reasonable. [citations omitted]

*Mason*, *supra* at paras. 31-32

40.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The BCBCA defines an "arrangement" using broad and inclusive terms. Pursuant to section 288(1) of the BCBCA, a "company" may propose an arrangement with security holders, creditors or other persons and may, in that arrangement, make any proposal it considers appropriate, including those listed at subsections 288(1)(a)-(i).

41.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Interim Order is procedural and does not affect the substantive rights, with the exception of the dissent rights in respect of the Arrangement Resolution.

42.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Arrangement includes a series of corporate transactions falling within the scope of section 288(1).

43.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The proposed Arrangement is an "arrangement" under the BCBCA.

**The Final Order Hearing**

44.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Final approval of a plan of arrangement should be granted if the Court is satisfied that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The statutory requirements have been met;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The application has been put forward in good faith; and,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The arrangement is fair and reasonable.

*BCE Inc.*, 2008 SCC 69 at para 137 [*BCE*]

45.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In order to determine whether an arrangement is fair and reasonable, a Court must be satisfied that: (a) the arrangement has a valid business purpose; and (b) the objections of those whose legal rights are being arranged are being resolved in a fair and balanced way.

*BCE*, *supra* at paras. 138 and 145

46.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Courts may consider a variety of factors when assessing the fairness and reasonableness of an arrangement, which are dependent upon the nature of the case, to determine whether the objections of those whose legal rights are being arranged are being resolved in a fair and balanced way, including but not limited to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;whether the arrangement was negotiated at arm's length between sophisticated commercial parties with the assistance of financial and legal advisors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;whether the plan has been approved by a special committee of independent directors;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- 16 -

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;whether a fairness opinion has been obtained from a reputable independent expert;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;whether a majority of security holders have voted to approve the arrangement (this factor is given considerable weight);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;whether the shareholders have access to dissent and appraisal remedies; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;whether any security holders have appeared in the proceedings to oppose approval of the arrangement despite having had notice of the proceedings and the right to appear.

*TCPO Holding Corp. (Re),* 2023 BCSC 1402 at paras 11 and 16.

See also *BCE Inc*., *supra* at paras 149-152.

47.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The question of whether the proposed Arrangement is procedurally and substantively fair and reasonable overall and meets all applicable statutory requirements will be determined at the return of the Petition on or after August 10, 2026, at which time the result of the vote by the Trulieve Shareholders on the Arrangement Resolution will be known. The Petitioner will file with the Court further affidavit materials reporting as to compliance with any Interim Order and the results of any Meeting conducted pursuant to such Interim Order.
