**NOTICE-AND-ACCESS**

Notice is also hereby given that the Company has decided to use the notice-and-access method of delivery of its proxy-related materials. The notice-and-access method allows for the Company to deliver Meeting materials via the internet in accordance with the applicable rules set forth in National Instrument 54-101 Communications with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer. Under the notice-and-access system, beneficial shareholders who have requested to receive proxy-related materials and who do not have existing instructions on their account to receive paper materials will receive a notification containing information on how to obtain electronic and paper copies of the Information Circular in advance of the Meeting. All other beneficial shareholders who have requested to receive Meeting materials and registered shareholders who have not consented to electronic delivery will receive a paper copy of the Information Circular. Registered shareholders who have consented to electronic delivery will receive the Information Circular electronically.

The use of this alternative method of delivery is more environmentally friendly as it will help reduce paper use and will also reduce the cost of printing and mailing the Information Circular to Shareholders.

**Accessing Meeting Materials Online**

Shareholders may access these proxy-related materials on the Company's website at www.solarbankcorp.com, or under Company's profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

To obtain additional information about the Notice-and-Access process, a shareholder may contact the Company's transfer agent toll free at 1-888-787-0888.

**If you hold your Shares in a brokerage account, you are a non-registered shareholder ("Beneficial Shareholder").

**INFORMATION CIRCULAR**

As at June 6, 2025 unless otherwise noted

**FOR THE SPECIAL MEETING**

**OF THE SHAREHOLDERS**

**TO BE HELD ON JULY 23, 2025**

**SOLICITATION OF PROXIES**

This information circular is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the management of SolarBank Corporation (the "**Company**" or "**SolarBank**") for use at the Annual General and Special Meeting (the "**Meeting**") of the Shareholders of the Company to be held at the time and place and for the purposes set forth in the Notice of Meeting and at any adjournment thereof.

**PERSONS OR COMPANIES MAKING THE SOLICITATION**

**The enclosed Instrument of Proxy is solicited by management of the Company ("Management").** Solicitations will be made by mail and possibly supplemented by telephone or other personal contact to be made without special compensation by regular officers and employees of the Company. The Company does not reimburse Shareholders' nominees or agents (including brokers holding shares on behalf of clients) for the cost incurred in obtaining from their principals, authorization to execute the Instrument of Proxy. No solicitation will be made by specifically engaged employees or soliciting agents. The cost of solicitation will be borne by the Company. None of the directors of the Company have advised that they intend to oppose any action intended to be taken by Management as set forth in this Information Circular.

**NOTICE-AND-ACCESS PROCESS**

In accordance with the notice-and-access rules under National Instrument 54-101 *Communications with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer*, the Company has sent its proxy-related materials to registered holders and non-objecting beneficial owners using notice-and-access and made its annual financials available to Shareholders. Therefore, although Shareholders still receive a proxy or voting instruction form (as applicable) in paper copy, this Information Circular is not physically delivered. Instead, Shareholders may access this Information Circular on the Company's website at <u>www.solarbankcorp.com,</u> or on the Company's profile on SEDAR+ at <u>www.sedarplus.ca.</u>

Shareholders may request paper copies of the Information Circular be sent to them by postal delivery at no cost to them. In order to receive a paper copy of the Information Circular, please call toll free within North America 1-888-787-0888 or outside North America, call 604-559-8880. Requests for paper copies of the Information Circular should be received by July 14, 2025. For a copy of the Information after the date of the Meeting, please contact info@solarbankcorp.com.

To obtain additional information about the Notice-and-Access process, a shareholder may contact the Company's transfer agent toll free at 1-888-787-0888.

**APPOINTMENT AND REVOCATION OF PROXIES**

The persons named in the accompanying Instrument of Proxy are directors or officers of the Company and are nominees of Management. **A Shareholder has the right to appoint a person to attend and act for him/her on his/her behalf at the Meeting other than the persons named in the enclosed Instrument of Proxy. To exercise this right, a Shareholder should strike out the names of the persons named in the Instrument of Proxy and insert the name of his/her nominee in the blank space provided, or complete another proper form of Instrument of Proxy. The completed Instrument of Proxy should be deposited with the Company's Registrar and Transfer Agent, Endeavor Trust Corporation (the "Transfer Agent"), located at Suite 702 - 777 Hornby Street, Vancouver, BC, V6Z 1S4, or by email: proxy@endeavortrust.com, in either case at least 48 hours before the time of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays.**

The Instrument of Proxy must be dated and be signed by the Shareholder or by his/her attorney in writing, or, if the Shareholder is a Company, it must either be under its common seal or signed by a duly authorized officer.

**In addition to revocation in any other manner permitted by law, a Shareholder may revoke a Proxy either by (a) signing a Proxy bearing a later date and depositing it at the place and within the time aforesaid, or (b) signing and dating a written notice of revocation (in the same manner as the Instrument of Proxy is required to be executed as set out in the notes to the Instrument of Proxy) and either depositing it at the place and within the time aforesaid or with the Chair of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting or on the day of any adjournment thereof, or (c) registering with the Scrutineer at the Meeting as a Shareholder present in person, whereupon such Proxy shall be deemed to have been revoked.**

**NON-REGISTERED HOLDERS OF COMPANY'S SHARES**

**Only Shareholders whose names appear in the Company's Shareholder's Register (the "Registered Shareholders") or duly appointed proxyholders are permitted to vote at the Meeting. Shareholders who do not hold their common shares ("Common Shares") in their own name ("Beneficial Shareholders") are advised that only proxies from Shareholders of record can be recognized and voted at the Meeting.** Beneficial Shareholders who complete and return an Instrument of Proxy must indicate thereon the person (usually a brokerage house) who holds their Common Shares as registered Shareholder. Every intermediary (broker) has its own mailing procedure, and provides its own return instructions, which should be carefully followed. The form of proxy supplied to Beneficial Shareholders is similar to that provided to Registered Shareholders. However, its purpose is limited to instructing the registered Shareholder how to vote on behalf of the Beneficial Shareholder. Management of the Company does not intend to pay for intermediaries to forward to objecting beneficial owners under National Instrument 54-101 the proxy-related materials and Form 54-101F7 – *Request for Voting Instructions Made by Intermediary*, and in case of an objecting beneficial owner, the objecting beneficial owner will not receive the materials unless the objecting beneficial owner's intermediary assumes the cost of delivery.

If Common Shares are listed in an account statement provided to a Shareholder by a broker, then in almost all cases those Common Shares will not be registered in such Shareholder's name on the records of the Company. Such Common Shares will more likely be registered under the name of the Shareholder's broker or agent of that broker. In Canada, the vast majority of such Common Shares are registered under the name of CDS & Co. (the registration for the Canadian Depository for Securities, which company acts as nominee for many Canadian brokerage firms). Common shares held by brokers or their nominees can only be voted (for or against resolutions) upon the instructions of the Beneficial Shareholder. Without specific instructions, brokers/nominees are prohibited from voting shares for their clients. The directors and officers of the Company do not know for whose benefit the Common Shares registered in the name of CDS & Co. are held.

In accordance with National Instrument 54-101 of the Canadian Securities Administrators, the Company has distributed copies of the Notice of Meeting, this Information Circular and the Instrument of Proxy to the clearing agencies and intermediaries for onward distribution. Applicable regulatory policy requires intermediaries/brokers to seek voting instructions from Beneficial Shareholders in advance of Shareholders' meetings unless the Beneficial Shareholders have waived the right to receive meeting materials. Every intermediary/broker has its own mailing procedures and provides its own return instructions, which should be carefully followed by Beneficial Shareholders in order to ensure that their Common Shares are voted at the Meeting. Often the form of proxy supplied to a Beneficial Shareholder by its broker is identical to the Instrument of Proxy provided by the Company to the Registered Shareholders. However, its purpose is limited to instructing the Registered Shareholder how to vote on behalf of the Beneficial Shareholder. Should a Beneficial Shareholder receive such a form and wish to vote at the Meeting, the Beneficial Shareholder should strike out the Management proxyholder's name in the form and insert the Beneficial Shareholder's name in the blank provided. The majority of brokers now delegate the responsibility for obtaining instructions from clients to Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. ("**Broadridge**"). Broadridge typically applies a special sticker to the proxy forms, mails those forms to the Beneficial Shareholders and requests Beneficial Shareholders to return the proxy forms to Broadridge. Broadridge then tabulates the results of all instructions received and provides appropriate instructions respecting the voting of Common Shares to be represented at the Meeting. **A Beneficial Shareholder receiving a proxy with a Broadridge sticker on it cannot use that proxy to vote Common Shares directly at the Meeting – the proxy must be returned to Broadridge well in advance of the Meeting in order to have the Common Shares voted.** All references to Shareholders in this Information Circular and the accompanying Instrument of Proxy and Notice of Meeting are to Shareholders of record unless specifically stated otherwise.

**VOTING OF SHARES AND EXERCISE OF DISCRETION OF PROXIES**

**On any poll, the persons named in the enclosed Instrument of Proxy will vote the shares in respect of which they are appointed and, where directions are given by the Shareholder in respect of voting for or against any resolution, will do so in accordance with such direction.**

**If no choice is specified on the proxy with respect to a matter to be acted upon, the proxy confers discretionary authority with respect to the matter upon the proxyholder named on the Instrument of Proxy. In the absence of any direction in the Instrument of Proxy, it is intended that the proxyholder named by Management in the Instrument of Proxy will vote the shares represented by the proxy in favour of the motions proposed to be made at the Meeting as stated under the headings in this Information Circular.** The Instrument of Proxy enclosed, when properly signed, confers discretionary authority with respect to amendments or variations to any matters which may properly be brought before the Meeting.

At the time of printing of this Information Circular, the Management of the Company is not aware that any such amendments, variations or other matters are to be presented for action at the Meeting. However, if any other matters which are not now known to the Management should properly come before the Meeting, the Proxies hereby solicited will be exercised on such matters in accordance with the best judgement of the nominee.

**VOTING SHARES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS THEREOF**

At June 6, 2025 the Company had 35,349,427 Common Shares without par value issued and outstanding. All Common Shares in the capital of the Company are of the same class and each carries the right to one vote. The quorum for a meeting of Shareholders is shareholders present in person or represented by proxy holding at least five percent (5%) of the Common Shares entitled to vote at a meeting of shareholders (unless a greater number of shareholders and/or a greater number of shares are required to be represented by the *Business Corporations Act* (Ontario) (the "**OBCA**") or the articles or any other by-law).

June 6, 2025 has been determined as the record date as of which Shareholders are entitled to receive notice of and attend and vote at the Meeting. Shareholders desiring to be represented by proxy at the Meeting must deposit their proxies at the place and within the time set forth in the notes to the Instrument of Proxy in order to entitle the person duly appointed by the proxy to attend and vote thereat.

To the knowledge of the directors and senior officers of the Company, as at June 6, 2025, no Shareholder beneficially owns or controls, directly or indirectly, voting securities carrying more than 10% of the voting rights attached to the Common Shares of the Company.

**PARTICULARS OF MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON**

**<u>Name Change</u>**

As part of a rebranding to better reflect the Company's strategic focus, market opportunity and established position as a trusted provider of power and energy solutions that extend beyond just solar energy, the Company proposes amending its articles of incorporation in order to change its name from "SolarBank Corporation" to "PowerBank Corporation" subject to such regulatory approvals as may be necessary under the OBCA.

Pursuant to the OBCA, amending the Company's articles of incorporation in order to change its legal name requires the approval of our Shareholders by way of a special resolution, being a resolution passed by not less than two thirds of the votes cast by the Shareholders, in person or by proxy, at the Meeting. Accordingly, at the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if deemed advisable, to pass, with or without variation the following special resolution to approve the change of the name of the Company (the "**Name Change Resolution**") as set forth below:

"RESOLVED THAT:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. the
 change of name of the Company to "PowerBank Corporation", or such other name
 as our Board of Directors may determine in its sole discretion and as may be permitted under
 the *Business Corporations Act* (Ontario), is hereby approved and the articles of the
 Company shall be amended to effect such change of name;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. any
 one director or officer of the Company is authorized and directed, on behalf of the Company,
 to execute, deliver and file any and all declarations, agreements, documents and other instruments
 and do all other acts and things that such director or officer may determine to be necessary
 or desirable to give effect to this resolution (including, without limitation, the delivery
 of articles of amendment in the prescribed form to the relevant legal or regulatory bodies),
 the execution, delivery and filing of any such declarations, agreements, documents or other
 instruments and the doing of such acts and things being conclusive evidence of such determination;
 and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. notwithstanding
 approval of the Shareholders of the Company as herein provided, the Board of Directors is
 hereby authorized, in its sole discretion, to revoke this special resolution without further
