MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR 
 (This information is given as at April 26, 2012, unless otherwise indicated) 
 SOLICITATION OF PROXIES 
 This Management Information Circular (the “Information
Circular” or “Circular”) is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the management of Alamos Gold Inc. (the “Company” or “Alamos”) for use at the Annual and Special General Meeting of the
Shareholders of the Company (“the Meeting”) (and at any adjournment thereof) to be held on Thursday, May 31, 2012 at the time and place and for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Meeting. 

The Company will bear the expense of this solicitation. It is expected the solicitation will be made primarily by mail, but regular employees or
representatives of the Company (none of whom shall receive any extra compensation for these activities) may also solicit by telephone, facsimile and in person and arrange for intermediaries to send this Information Circular and the form of proxy to
their principals at the expense of the Company. 
 The contents and the sending of this Information Circular have been approved by the Board of
Directors of the Company (the “Board”). 
 All dollar amounts referenced herein are in United States Dollars, unless otherwise
specified. The exchange rate as at December 31, 2011 was CAD$1.00 = US$0.98. The average exchange rate for 2011 was CAD$1.00 = US$1.01. 
 RECORD DATE 
 The directors of the Company have set the close of business on April 26,
2012 as the record date (the “Record Date”) for determining which shareholders shall be entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Meeting. Only shareholders of record as of the Record Date shall be entitled to receive notice of and
to vote at the Meeting, unless after the Record Date a shareholder transfers his or her common shares and the transferee (the “Transferee”), upon establishing that the Transferee owns such common shares, requests in writing, at least 10
days prior to the Meeting or any adjournments thereof, that the Transferee may have his or her name included on the list of shareholders entitled to vote at the Meeting, in which case the Transferee is entitled to vote such shares at the Meeting.
Such written request by the Transferee shall be sent to the Company’s Corporate Secretary at the following address: Suite 2200, 130 Adelaide Street West, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5H 3P5. 

APPOINTMENT AND REVOCATION OF PROXIES 
 The persons named in the accompanying form of proxy are designated as proxy holders by management of the Company. A SHAREHOLDER WISHING TO APPOINT SOME OTHER PERSON (WHO NEED NOT BE A SHAREHOLDER) TO
REPRESENT HIM OR HER AT THE MEETING MAY DO SO either by inserting such person’s name in the blank space provided in the accompanying form of proxy or by completing another proper form of proxy and, in either case, delivering the completed
proxy

to Computershare Investor Services Inc., 9th Floor, 100 University Avenue, Toronto, Ontario, M5J 2Y1, not less than 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) prior to the time of the Meeting unless the Chairman of the Meeting elects to
exercise his discretion to accept proxies received subsequently. Telephone voting can be completed at 1-866-732-vote (1-866-732-8683) and Internet voting can be completed at www.investorvote.com. 

Provisions Relating to Voting of Proxies 
 The shares represented by proxy will be voted or withheld from voting by the designated proxy holder in accordance with the instructions of the shareholder appointing him or her on any ballot that may be
called for and, if the shareholder specifies a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, the shares will be voted accordingly. If there are no instructions provided by the shareholder, those shares will be voted in favour of all proposals
set out in this Circular. The proxy gives the person named in it the discretion to vote as they see fit on any amendments or variations to matters identified in the Notice of Meeting, or any other matters which may properly come before the Meeting.
At the time of printing of this Circular, the management of the Company knows of no other matters which may come before the Meeting other than those referred to in the notice of meeting. 
 Revocation of Proxies 
 Any registered shareholder who has returned a proxy may
revoke it at any time before it has been exercised. In addition to revocation in any other manner permitted by law, a proxy may be revoked by instrument in writing, including a proxy bearing a later date, executed by the registered shareholder or by
an attorney authorized in writing or, if the registered shareholder is a corporation, under its corporate seal or by an officer or attorney thereof duly authorized. 
 The instrument revoking the proxy must be deposited at (i) the registered office of the Company, Axium Law Corporation, 1055 Dunsmuir Street, P.O. Box 49222, Suite 3350, Four Bentall Centre,
Vancouver British Columbia, Canada, V7X 1L2, at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the date of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof duly authorized; or (ii) provided at the Meeting to the Chairman of the Meeting.
Only registered shareholders have the right to revoke a proxy. Non-registered shareholders who wish to change their vote must, at least 7 days before the Meeting, arrange for their respective intermediaries to revoke the proxy on their behalf.

 ADVICE TO BENEFICIAL SHAREHOLDERS OF COMMON SHARES 
 The information set forth in this section is of significant importance to many shareholders as a substantial number of shareholders do not hold common shares in their own names. Shareholders who do not
hold their shares in their own name (“Beneficial Shareholders”) should note that only proxies deposited by shareholders whose names appear on the records of the Company as the registered holders of common shares can be recognized and acted
upon at the Meeting. If common shares are listed in an account statement provided to a shareholder by a broker, then in almost all cases those common shares will not be registered in the shareholder’s name on the records of the Company. Such
common shares will more likely be registered under the name of the shareholder’s broker or an agent of that broker. In Canada, the vast majority of such common shares are registered under the name of CDS & Co (the registration name for
The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited, which acts as nominee for many Canadian brokerage firms). Common shares held by brokers or their agents or nominees can only be voted (for or against resolutions) upon the instructions of the
Beneficial Shareholders. Therefore, Beneficial Shareholders should ensure that instructions respecting the voting of their common shares are communicated to the appropriate person well in advance of the Meeting.

 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR 
  
 Applicable regulatory policies require intermediaries/brokers to seek voting instructions from Beneficial Shareholders in
advance of shareholders’ meetings. Every intermediary/broker has its own mailing procedures and provides its own return instructions to clients, which should be carefully followed by Beneficial Shareholders in order to ensure that their common
shares are voted at the Meeting. The form of proxy supplied to a Beneficial Shareholder by its broker (or the agent of the broker) is similar to the form of proxy provided to registered shareholders by the Company. However, its purpose is limited to
instructing the registered shareholder (the broker or agent of the broker) how to vote on behalf of the Beneficial Shareholder. The majority of brokers now delegate responsibility for obtaining instructions from clients to Broadridge Financial
Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”) in Canada. Broadridge typically applies a special sticker to proxy forms, mails those forms to the Beneficial Shareholders, and asks Beneficial Shareholders to return the proxy forms to Broadridge. Broadridge
then tabulates the results of all instructions received and provides appropriate instructions respecting the voting of shares to be presented at the Meeting. A Beneficial Shareholder receiving a proxy with a Broadridge sticker on it cannot use
that proxy to vote common shares directly at the Meeting. The proxy must be returned to Broadridge well in advance of the Meeting in order to have the common shares voted. 
 Although a Beneficial Shareholder may not be recognized directly at the Meeting for the purposes of voting common shares registered in the name of the Beneficial Shareholder broker (or agent of the
broker), a Beneficial Shareholder may attend at the Meeting as proxy holder for the registered shareholder and vote the common shares in that capacity. Beneficial Shareholders who wish to attend at the Meeting and indirectly vote their common
shares as proxy holder for the registered shareholder should enter their own names in the blank space on the instrument of proxy provided to them and return the same to their broker (or the broker’s agent) in accordance with the instructions
provide by such broker (or agent), well in advance of the Meeting. Alternatively, a Beneficial Shareholder may request in writing that their broker send to the Beneficial Shareholder a legal proxy which would enable the Beneficial Shareholder to
attend at the Meeting and vote their common shares. 
 In addition, Canadian securities legislation permits the Company to forward meeting
materials directly to “non-objecting Beneficial Shareholders”. If the Company or its agent has sent these materials directly to you (instead of through a nominee), your name, address and information about your holding of securities has
been obtained in accordance with applicable securities regulatory requirements from the nominee holding on your behalf. By choosing to send these materials to you directly, the Company (and not the nominee holding on your behalf) has assumed
responsibility for (i) delivering materials to you; and (ii) executing your proper voting instructions. 
 VOTING OF
SHARES AND EXERCISE OF DISCRETION OF PROXIES 
 On any poll, the persons named in the enclosed form of proxy will vote the shares in respect
of which they are appointed and, where instructions are given by the shareholder in respect of voting for or against any resolutions, will do so in accordance with such instructions. 
 In the absence of any direction in the proxy, it is intended that such shares will be voted in favour of the motions proposed to be made at the Meeting as stated under the headings in this Information
Circular. The form 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, 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 judgment of the proxyholders.

 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR 
  
 VOTING SHARES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS THEREOF 
 The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of common shares without par value. On April 26, 2012, the Record Date of the Meeting, 119,502,808 common shares were issued and outstanding,
each share carrying the right to one vote. On any poll, the persons named in the enclosed proxy will vote the shares in respect of which they are appointed. Where instructions are given by the shareholder in respect of voting for or against any
resolution, the proxy holders will do so in accordance with such instructions. 
 Only shareholders of record on the close of business on
April 26, 2012, who either personally attend the Meeting or who complete and deliver a proxy in the manner and subject to the provisions set out under the headings “Record Date” and “Appointment and Revocation of Proxies”
will be entitled to have his or her shares voted at the Meeting or any adjournment thereof. 
 To the knowledge of the directors and senior
officers of the Company, as at the date of this Information Circular, there are no persons or companies beneficially owning or controlling or directing, directly or indirectly, shares carrying 10% or more of the voting rights attached to all
outstanding shares of the Company other than CDS & Co. and Cede & Co. which are intermediaries that hold shares of the Company in electronic form for various brokerage houses and banks, except as follows:

 PARTICULARS OF MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON 
 Election of Directors 

The board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) presently consists of seven directors. Management is only nominating six individuals to
stand for election as directors at the Meeting. It is proposed that the number of directors to be elected at the Meeting for the ensuing year be fixed at six. 
 The term of office of each of the present directors expires at the Meeting. The persons named below will be presented for election at the Meeting as management’s nominees. Shareholders can vote for
all of the proposed nominees, vote for some of the proposed nominees and withhold for others, or withhold for all of the proposed nominees. Unless otherwise instructed, the persons named in the accompanying form of proxy intend to vote for the
election of each of these nominees. Management does not contemplate that any of these nominees will be unable to serve as a director. Subject to the Company’s majority voting policy in its Corporate Governance Principles (attached as Appendix
‘A’ to the Company’s Corporate Governance Committee Charter), each director elected will hold office until the next annual general

Minimum Share Ownership 
 On
April 13, 2010, as amended March 8, 2012, the Board adopted resolutions requiring each director to own shares, directly or indirectly, of the Company equivalent in value to their respective director’s fee retainer (excluding the value
of stock option grants) or a minimum of 3,000 shares, whichever is lower. The CEO is required to own a minimum number of shares equivalent in value to three times his base salary. New directors have one year from the date of their appointment to the
Board to meet the ownership requirement. 
 At April 26, 2012, the Company’s directors and executive officers, as a group,
beneficially own, directly or indirectly, or exercise control or direction over a total of 1,354,887 common shares with a total value of approximately CAD$24.6 million (with the President and Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”) owning
CAD$16.2 million), directly or indirectly, representing approximately 1.1% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company. Five out of six directors’ share ownership meets the minimum requirement, while the director who does not
meet the minimum share ownership requirement has one year from the date of his appointment, or until September 26, 2012, to meet the requirement. The President and CEO’s share ownership substantially exceeds the minimum limit of three
times the value of his base salary. 
 Share Ownership Guidelines - Executives 

The Company has established a minimum share ownership guideline which requires the CEO to own shares equivalent in value to three (3) times base
salary. As at December 31, 2011, the CEO owned (directly or indirectly) shares equivalent to approximately 25 times his 2011 base salary.

 Majority
Voting 
 The Company has adopted a majority voting policy in its Corporate Governance Principles (attached as Appendix “A” to

 Compensation Discussion and Analysis 

Board Compensation and Nominating Committee Report on Executive Compensation 
 The Company’s executive compensation program is administered by the Compensation and Nominating Committee (the “CNC”) which is comprised of David Gower (Chair), Anthony Garson and James
McDonald, all of whom are independent within the meaning of National Instrument 52-110 - Audit Committees and have experience in dealing with compensation matters. The Board is of the view that the members of the CNC collectively have the
knowledge, skills, experience and background to make decisions on the suitability of the Company’s compensation policies and practices. A description of such skills and experience of each member of the CNC is set out in this Circular under
“Corporate Governance Practices – Board of Directors”. Mr. McDonald will not be standing for re-election as a director at the Meeting and therefore he will not continue as a member of the CNC. 

The CNC has, as part of its mandate, primary responsibility for the appointment and remuneration of executive officers of the Company. In this regard,
the CNC makes recommendations to the Board with respect to the Compensation (including salary, bonus, stock options, and stock appreciation rights) and benefits of the CEO and other senior officers of the Company; reviews and approves the terms of
the employment agreements of the CEO and other senior officers of the Company and researches and identifies trends in employment benefits and compensation structures and reports its findings to the Board. The Board also evaluates the performances of
the Company’s executive officers and reviews the design and competitiveness of the Company’s compensation plans. 
 Executive
Compensation Program 
 The Company’s executive compensation program is based on a pay-for-performance philosophy. It is designed to
encourage, and reward employees on the basis of individual and corporate performance, both in the short and long-term. The CNC reviews and recommends base salary levels to the Board based on a number of factors, in order to enable the Company to
compete for and retain executives critical to the Company’s long-term success. Incentive compensation is directly tied to individual and corporate performance. Long-term incentive compensation is provided to align the interests of executive
officers with the longer term interests of shareholders. Independent consultants are engaged on an as needed basis by the Company to assess its executive compensation strategy and plans and maintain its competitiveness. Additionally, the Company
participates annually in relevant compensation surveys. 
 Compensation for the Named Executive Officers, as well as for
officers as a whole, consists of a base salary, along with annual incentive compensation in the form of a discretionary annual bonus, and a longer-term incentive in the form of stock option grants and/or cash-settled stock appreciation rights.
Overall, the Company’s total compensation strategy is to pay its executives up to the 75th percentile of its defined peer group. Historically, the Company placed greater weighting on short and long-term incentives to achieve the 75th percentile. However, since 2010 the Company has placed greater weighting on base salaries moving them closer to the
75th percentile. The Company expects to offset the
increased base salaries with lesser stock option/stock appreciation rights grants relative to prior years. As an executive officer’s level of responsibility and ability to influence Company operations and results increases, the mix of total
compensation is weighted more heavily to pay at risk (bonus and long-term incentive), thereby increasing the mutuality of interest between executive officers and shareholders. 

  
  

12 | ALAMOS GOLD INC 

 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR 
  
 The objectives of the compensation program are to: 

 

	 	•	 	 ensure external competitiveness and executive retention by developing and maintaining compensation levels that reflect current relevant market rates of
pay; 

  

	 	•	 	 promote pay-for-performance levels that reward consistently high performance levels; 

 

	 	•	 	 provide the Company with the resources to recruit and retain a highly capable work force; and 

 

	 	•	 	 establish incentives to develop and achieve performance targets that maximize the value of the Company to the benefit of its shareholders and other
stakeholders. 

 The Company’s compensation plan meets these objectives by addressing each key
component of total compensation: base salary, annual incentive and long-term incentive awards, and all other compensation. Based on benchmarking against what was originally 19 peer group companies in 2010 and 16 peer group companies in 2011, there
is wide variation with respect to the cash component of compensation among companies. Certain companies opt for a lower base salary and weight bonus payments more heavily, whereas other companies opt for a higher base salary and relatively lower
bonuses as a percentage of the base salary, and a broad range exists between. The Company has set its salary and bonus compensation such that the combined salary and bonus cash component of compensation for executives is targeted in the range of the
50th and 75th percentile for high performing executives. The Company has placed
greater emphasis on base salary (as compared to long-term incentive awards) since 2010, to better align this element of pay with the market and the peer group. Pay at risk (discretionary annual bonus and long-term incentive) continue to incent the
behaviours and ultimate performance for achieving superior results. The Board places significant emphasis on aligning the interests of its executives with those of its shareholders. As a result, appropriate weighting is placed on all three elements
of awards to reflect the role and responsibilities of the respective NEO. No benefit is conferred through a contribution to a pension plan. 

The Company’s annual performance and compensation review was led and conducted by the CNC in late 2011 with conclusions on 2011 bonuses and 2012
base salaries determined at a Board meeting held on December 6, 2011. Decisions on 2011 base salaries for the Named Executive Officers and other executive officers were taken by the Board during the annual review meeting held on
December 7, 2010. Decisions on 2011 stock option grants were made by the Board of Directors on May 12, 2011. 
 The Company
participated in the following surveys in 2011: 
  

	 	•	 	 2011 Mining Industry Salary Survey conducted by Coopers Consulting and PwC; 

 

	 	•	 	 2011 Global Mining Compensation Review conducted by Hay Group; 

 

	 	•	 	 2011 Compensation of Investor Relations Positions in Canada, conducted by Canadian Compensation Resources Ltd.; and

  

	 	•	 	 2011 Top 10 Global Mining Survey, conducted by Equilar Inc. 

 The above surveys include organizations varying in size by market capitalization, headcount and location of corporate office, and report findings on those bases. In June 2010, the CNC commissioned a study
with Towers Watson to provide a review of compensation among the Company’s defined peer group. The companies that were selected to be a part of the peer group were chosen based on their having similar characteristics to the Company with respect
to some or all of: industry, production and growth profile, corporate structure and market capitalization. The peer group is as listed in the table below:

	(1)	Equinox Minerals Ltd. was purchased by Barrick Gold Corp. on July 19, 2011. 

	(2)	Quadra Mining Ltd. became Quadra FNX Mining Ltd. “FNX” on May 21, 2010. On February 20, 2012, FNX was acquired by KGHM Polska Miedz S. A.

	(3)	Minefinders Corporation Ltd. was purchased by Pan American Silver Corp. on March 30, 2012. 

	(4)	Red Back Mining Inc. was purchased by Kinross Gold Corporation on September 17, 2010. 

Given the detailed comprehensive analysis performed in the Towers Watson survey in 2010, the CNC decided that the data remained valid for 2011 and
continued to reflect the Company’s peer group. The data reported in the Towers Watson 2010 survey was increased by 4% to reflect general market increases as reported by various compensation sources. 

The CNC and the Board approved an Executive Compensation Strategy in 2010 that reflects the need to attract and retain top
executives to continue to lead Alamos amongst its peer group and in the gold mining industry in general. Overall, total compensation for executives is targeted between the 50th and 75th percentile. On average, it will take an executive, new to their role, up to five (5) years to meet this target
and hence, to be considered performing as “fully-functioning”. 
 Total fees paid in 2011 for compensation surveys was CAD$30,200. In
2010, total fees paid for executive compensation consulting and compensation surveys was CAD$64,200. 
 Key components of the Company’s
compensation plan are discussed below. 
 Base Salary 

Base salaries provide executive officers with monthly remuneration based on the position and the required qualifications and skills
to effectively perform the functions contained in the job description. Base salaries are also the determinant for other forms of compensation (annual incentive and long-term incentive) in the case that these are paid/granted as a percentage of base
salary. Base salaries are intended to be internally equitable and externally competitive. Salaries are reviewed annually based on performance levels within the Company, and in comparison to base salaries for similar roles in peer group companies.
The target base salary range is between the 50th and
75th percentile of the peer group and/or the market at
large. Annual adjustments to base salary are assessed and recommended by the CNC to the Board for final decision. Greater emphasis has been placed on base salary adjustments since 2010 to ensure base salaries paid to NEOs are in the appropriate base
salary range per respective role, and have been corrected if and when they have fallen outside this range. 
 Annual Incentive Plans

 The CNC determines, on a discretionary basis, annual incentive awards or bonuses to be paid by the Company to the executive officers
of the Company, in respect of a financial year, based on both individual and corporate performance. Each executive officer is responsible for presenting specific individual goals and objectives to the Board for review and approval on an annual
basis. The CEO approves, on a discretionary basis, bonuses to be paid by the Company to all other eligible employees and consultants of the Company in respect of a financial year. An annual performance bonus is provided as an element of total
compensation to provide an incentive to achieve or exceed annual goals consistent with 

  
  

14 | ALAMOS GOLD INC 

 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR 
  
 
operating or financial metrics that can generally be improved on a year over year basis. The Company metrics are outlined in the table below under “Review of Recent Performance and
Performance Objectives”. 
 Stock Option Plan 
 The CEO, in discussion with management, makes recommendations to the CNC and Board on the grant of options consistent with the terms and conditions of the Company’s stock option plan (the
“Plan”). The Board approves all stock option grants. The Board may delegate the authority to review and approve stock option grants to a committee of the Board. Individual grants are determined by an assessment of an individual’s
current and expected future performance, level of responsibility and the ability of the position to influence Company performance. Stock option awards are paid in alignment with the overall compensation strategy to pay its executives at the
75th percentile. Grants are typically made to new hires
who qualify for option award grants based on the terms of their contract. The initial level of grant is generally higher than subsequent annual grants at a ratio of 2:1 or 3:1 depending on the total compensation package. All grant awards are subject
to a vesting period. 
 The Plan is a key component of total compensation whereby the Company provides its officers with the incentive to
achieve the Company’s goal of achieving price appreciation for its common shares. Because each officer is charged with achieving maximum performance through its operating and financial metrics, each officer is capable of delivering
performance-based results which can result in share price appreciation. Each officer is awarded a substantial option package on entering service and annual grants are reviewed by the Board. The Company does not consider that the initial valuation of
a grant through an option pricing model is an appropriate metric for evaluating executive compensation since the option holder cannot normally monetize the value of the grant through any existing market, and such a metric is abnormally high in the
year an executive is appointed to his or her position as a result of the initial grant. 
 The Plan was initially established and approved in
2003 to allow the Company to grant incentive stock options to directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates. Amendments to the Plan are being submitted to the shareholders for approval at the
Meeting. If these amendments are approved, only officers of the Company will be eligible for future stock option grants, vesting terms will be amended and the number of stock option available for grant will be reduced to 7% of the outstanding shares
of the Company from time to time, among other changes. 
 The number of stock options which may be issued under the Plan in the aggregate and in
respect of any financial year is limited under the terms of the Plan and cannot be increased without shareholder approval. Stock options granted to officers have a five year term and are exercisable at the price determined by the Board, at the time
any option is granted. In no event shall such price be lower than the price permitted by the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) and any stock exchange or exchanges or regulatory agency having jurisdiction. See “Securities Authorized
for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans” below for further detail of the Plan. 
 Option Re-pricing 

No options held by the Named Executive Officers are permitted to be, or were, re-priced downward during the Company’s most recently completed
financial year ended December 31, 2011. 
 Stock Appreciation Rights (“SARs”) 

In 2011, the Board approved a cash-settled stock appreciation rights plan (the “SARs Plan”) to grant incentive SARs to the directors, officers,
employees and consultants of the Company or any of its subsidiaries and affiliates. A cash-settled stock appreciation right (“SAR”) entitles a participant to receive 

  
  

15 | ALAMOS GOLD INC 

 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR 
  
 
cash consideration equal to the appreciation in value of the Company’s common shares over a certain period of time. The term (not to exceed ten years) and vesting provisions are authorized
by the Board at the time of the grant. 
 SARs granted to directors, officers and certain consultants under the SARs Plan are exercisable for a
five-year period, and SARs granted to employees are generally exercisable for a three-year period. SARs granted vest 20% on the date of grant, and 20% at each six month interval following the date of grant. The strike price of a SAR cannot be lower
than the market price of the common shares of the Company at the date of the grant of the SAR, where market price is the closing price of the Company’s common shares on the TSX on the business day on which the grant of the SAR is approved by
the Board. 
 SARs are cash-settled liabilities, which are initially valued and re-measured at each reporting date using the Black-Scholes
option-pricing method. At the settlement date, the SARs liability is re-measured to the intrinsic value or cash payment required to settle the SARs liability. Changes in the fair value of the SARs liability are recognized as an expense within
share-based compensation in the Statements of Comprehensive Income. 
 Pension Plans 

The Company does not provide pension plan benefits to its directors or executive officers. 
 Managing Compensation-Related Risk 
 The Board and the CNC have an active role in
risk oversight regarding the Company’s compensation policies and practices. They consider all factors related to an executive’s performance and regularly assess, as part of their respective deliberations, the risk implications of the
Company’s compensation policies and practices, including the potential for any inappropriate or excessive risk-taking by its executive officers, in determining compensation. The Company uses the following practices to discourage or mitigate
inappropriate or excessive risk-taking by directors and executive officers: 
  

	 	•	 	 The structure of incentive compensation is designed not to focus on a single metric, which in the Company’s view could be distortive, but instead
a combination of both corporate and personal objectives. 

  

	 	•	 	 Each director of the Company is required to own common shares in the capital of the Company equivalent to their respective annual remuneration or a
minimum of 3,000 common shares, whichever is lower. The CEO is required to own a minimum number of common shares equivalent to three times his base salary. See “Particular of Matters to be Acted Upon – Election of Directors - Minimum Share
Ownership”. 

  

	 	•	 	 The Company has an appropriate compensation mix, including fixed and performance based compensation with short and longer term performance conditions
and multiple forms of compensation. 

  

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

  

	 	•	 	 The SARs granted pursuant to the SARs Plan, and stock options granted pursuant to the Plan, are subject to vesting provisions so directors and
executive officers are exposed to the risks of their decisions and vesting periods align with risk realization periods. 

 In
order to further mitigate the potential for executive officers to take inappropriate or excessive risks relating to compensation, the Board has passed a resolution which prohibits directors and executive officers from purchasing financial
instruments (including prepaid variable forward contracts, equity 

  
  

16 | ALAMOS GOLD INC 

 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR 
  
 swaps, collars, or units of exchange funds) that are designed to hedge or offset a decrease in market value of equity
securities granted as compensation or held, directly or indirectly, by a director or executive officer. The Board has further authorized the CNC to consider and prepare an appropriate policy (or to revise the Company’s existing policies) for
adoption by the Board to reflect this directive in this resolution and to consider the need for the adoption of any other policies relating to the management of compensation-related risks. 
 Summary of Compensation 
 The following table is a summary of compensation paid for
the Named Executive Officers for the financial years ended December 31, 2011, December 31, 2010, and December 31, 2009. All figures are in United States dollars, the same currency that the Company uses in its financial
statements, unless otherwise indicated. Fees earned and option-based awards amounts that have been paid in Canadian dollars have been converted into United States dollars at the average 2011 CAD:USD exchange rate of CAD$1.00 = US$1.01. The value of
option-based awards is translated into United States dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the date of the option grant.

	1)	The value of option-based awards was calculated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model, given that it is one of most common valuation methodologies available,

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

 Review of Recent Performance and Performance Objectives 

The annual incentive plan is structured to recognize individual and Company-wide performance. Goal achievement equates to a 100% target payout, while
exceeding goals is recognized by up to a 130% target payout. Individual goal recognition is determined in concert with overall corporate performance. Equally, the Board has the discretion to recognize goals that are not fully achieved but would be
paid at a threshold level (below target). Target annual incentive payout levels are expressed in ranges and as percentages of base salary.

 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR 
  
 The NEOs are measured on their individual goals and on the corporate metrics which are set out in the table below. For all NEOs
and executives, other than the CEO, individual and corporate metrics are weighted equally. The President and CEO, John McCluskey, however, is evaluated on the achievement of corporate metrics only. 

The CNC and the Board considered the individual and corporate goals and results for 2011 and determined that, while the key corporate metrics were
achieved, certain results, such as annual gold production, did not achieve the low end of the initial forecast range. The Board concluded that corporate metrics were achieved at 80%. As a result, the CEO’s bonus was paid at 80% of target. The
bonus of Manley Guarducci, the Vice President and COO was also paid at 80% of the target payout (corporate and individual metrics) given his influence and responsibility over the operations of the Company. The balance of the NEO bonuses were paid at
a rate of 80% of corporate metrics and 100% of individual metrics, split 50:50. 
 Chief Executive Officer 

Reports directly to the Board, and is responsible for providing leadership and vision leading to the success of the Company and the best interests of its
shareholders. In addition to being the Company’s public spokesman, the CEO has overall responsibility for ensuring that the Company is adequately financed for operations and growth opportunities. The CEO is also charged with developing and
maintaining a team of individuals to assist him in managing the day-to-day affairs of the Company, as well as carrying out the other duties and responsibilities assigned by the Board to the CEO. Mr. McCluskey’s bonus in 2011 was based on
his leadership of the Company and shared responsibility with his executives to meet their corporate goals. Share price performance was also a factor considered in his compensation. 
 Chief Financial Officer 
 Responsible for monitoring and maintaining the
Company’s financial strength, ensuring adequate liquidity and managing counterparty arrangements, achieving return on investment targets, reviewing and implementing tax savings opportunities, analysis and funding of acquisition/merger
opportunities, and overall financial disclosures. Mr. Porter’s bonus in 2011 was based on continued corporate balance sheet strength which allowed the Company to increase its dividend. In addition, the Company achieved a high rate of
return on assets and equity (significantly better than industry average) and maintained high quality financial disclosures, while improving the timeliness of its financial reporting. 
 Vice President and Chief Operating Officer 
 Responsible for establishing operating
performance objectives, health and safety standards, meeting or exceeding budgeted cash flows, ensuring adequate return on capital investments and various community-based goals. Mr. Guarducci’s bonus in 2011 was based on achieving the
mid-range of the revised production guidance in addition to maintaining industry leading low operating costs 
 Vice President,
Exploration and Corporate Development 
 Responsible for reviewing and identifying new projects that meet internal acquisition criteria
and making recommendations to the Board. Mr. Tarnocai’s bonus in 2011 was based on discerning promising acquisition targets from those not suited for the Company’s investment. He has made a number of recommendations for acquisitions
for consideration by the Board and has cycled through numerous project reviews that do not meet the Company’s investment criteria. He also successfully transitioned additional responsibilities of managing the exploration function.

	(1)	This figure represents the total number of options granted and outstanding as at December 31, 2011. 

	(2)	The Board approved amendments to the Plan on April 24, 2012 which reduced the number of shares issuable under the Plan to 7% of the total number of issued and
outstanding shares of the Company from time to time, subject to shareholder approval. This figure assumes shareholder approval of such amendments and ratification of the unallocated options under the Plan. As at April 26, 2012, a total of
8,365,197 shares are available for issuance under the Plan assuming shareholder approval of the amendments to the Plan and ratification of the unallocated options under the Plan. As 5,240,900 options are outstanding as at April 26, 2012,
3,124,297 shares remain available for future issuance under the Plan, assuming shareholder approval of the amendments to the Plan and ratification of the unallocated options. 

Stock Option Plan 
 The Board
approved the establishment of the Plan to allow the Company to grant incentive stock options to directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates (the “Participants”). The Plan was originally
approved by the shareholders of the Company at the 2003 Annual and Special General Meeting of the shareholders of the Company. 
 On
May 24, 2005, the shareholders of the Company approved the amendment of the Plan from a 10% “fixed stock option plan” to a “rolling stock option plan”. Under a rolling stock option plan the number of shares reserved for
issuance must not exceed a fixed percentage of the total number of common shares which are issued and outstanding on the particular date of grant, as set out below. The Plan was further amended by the Board on May 17, 2006, March 27,
2007, April 14, 2009 and January 1, 2011. 
 On April 24, 2012, the Board approved further amendments to the Plan. Such
amendments are subject to the approval of the shareholders of the Company, and are being submitted to the shareholders for approval at the Meeting (see “Particulars of Other Matters to be Acted Upon”). The Board approved such amendments to
the Plan in order to: 
  

	 	•	 	 restrict the persons eligible to receive grants of new options under the Plan to officers of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates, instead
of officers, directors, employees and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates as was previously permitted under the Plan (the Plan continues to govern outstanding options previously granted to officers, directors, employees
and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates); 

  
  

29 | ALAMOS GOLD INC 

 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR 
  

	 	•	 	 adopt a provision clarifying that in the event of an inconsistency between the option terms set out in the Plan and the option terms set out in other
agreements under which a Participant may have received such options, the terms provided in the Plan will prevail; 

  

	 	•	 	 reduce the maximum number of shares issuable under the Plan to 7% of the issued and outstanding shares from time to time; 

 

	 	•	 	 restrict the options which can be granted to a Participant in any 12 month period to the number of options which permit the Participant to purchase a
maximum of 3% of the number of issued and outstanding shares of the Company; 

  

	 	•	 	 reduce the maximum term of any option granted under the Plan to five years, subject to an extension of 10 business days in the event of a black-out
period; 

  

	 	•	 	 adopt amended vesting, adjustment and termination provisions in connection with alterations to the Company’s capital structure, a change of
control and certain triggering events; 

  

	 	•	 	 adopt additional amendment provisions specifying when shareholder approval of amendments is required; and 

 

	 	•	 	 adopt certain other minor amendments of a “housekeeping nature”. 

 The Plan does not permit grants of new options to employees, directors and consultants of the Company, unless such persons are also officers of the Company. A summary of the terms of the Plan, including
the amendments of April 24, 2012, is set out below. 
 Every three years after institution, all unallocated options under the Plan must be
approved by a majority of the Company’s directors and the shareholders of the Company. The Plan was last ratified, confirmed and approved by the shareholders of the Company on May 15, 2008. The Company did not obtain renewed shareholder
approval of its unallocated options under the Plan by May 15, 2011 and has, consequently, not granted any new options since that date, nor will it grant any further options until such shareholder approval is obtained. The Company is seeking
approval of the unallocated options under the Plan at the Meeting. See “Particulars of Matters to be Acted Upon”. 
 The maximum
number of common shares issuable on exercise of options granted under the Plan as at April 26, 2012 was 8,365,197 shares (which represents 7% of the issued and outstanding share capital as at April 26, 2012), assuming shareholder approval
of the amendments to the Plan and ratification of the unallocated options is obtained. As at April 26, 2012, there were outstanding options to purchase 5,240,900 common shares which represent 4.4% of the Company’s outstanding share capital
as at April 26, 2012. A balance of 3,124,297 common shares is unallocated under the Plan which represents 2.6% of the Company’s outstanding share capital as at April 26, 2012, assuming shareholder approval of the amendments to the
Plan is obtained. In 2011 (prior to May 15, 2011), the Company granted 2,115,000 stock options, or 1.8% of the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the year (2010 – 4,021,000 or 3.5%). Since implementation of the Plan in 2003
up to and including April 26, 2012, Alamos has issued a total of 12,693,483 shares on exercise of options (which represents 10.6% of the Company’s issued and outstanding share capital as at April 26, 2012). 

The number of shares subject to an option granted to any one Participant shall be determined by the Board or such committee of the Board which is
appointed to administer the Plan (such committee or, if no such committee is appointed, the Board is hereinafter referred to as the “Board Committee”) based on its review of the performance of the Participant, but no Participant shall be
granted an option in any 

  
  

30 | ALAMOS GOLD INC 

 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR 
  
 
12-month period which exceeds 3% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company at the time of grant. The aggregate number of securities issuable to insiders, at any time, under all security
based compensation arrangements, cannot exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding securities of the Company. The number of securities issued to insiders, within any one year period, under all security based compensation arrangements, cannot exceed
10% of issued and outstanding securities. 
 The exercise price of the shares subject to each option shall be determined by the Board Committee,
subject to applicable TSX approval, at the time any option is granted. In no event shall such price be lower than the price permitted by the TSX. The Board Committee has customarily set the option exercise price as the closing price for trading on
the TSX on the date of the option grant. 
 The vesting schedule for an option, if any, is determined by the Board Committee and is set out in
the option agreement entered into in respect of the option. The Board Committee may elect, at any time, to accelerate the vesting schedule of one or more options including, without limitation, on a triggering event, including a proposed change of
control (such terms are as defined in the Plan). The Board Committee has customarily set a vesting period of two years over which options vest in instalments. It is expected that new grants of options will be subject to a vesting period of three
years over which options will vest in instalments. 
 If there is a material alteration in the capital structure of the Company and the shares
are consolidated, subdivided, converted, exchanged, reclassified or in any way substituted for, the Board Committee shall, to the extent practicable and feasible, make such adjustments to the Plan and to the options then outstanding under the Plan
as the Board Committee determines to be appropriate and equitable under the circumstances, so that the proportionate interest of each Participant shall, to the extent practicable, be maintained as before the occurrence of such event. 

Upon the occurrence of a triggering event (including a proposed change of control) the Company may: 

 

	(a)	cause all or a portion of any of the options outstanding under the Plan to terminate; 

 

	(b)	cause all or a portion of any of the options outstanding under the Plan to be exchanged for incentive stock options of another corporation in such ratio and at such
exercise price as the Board Committee deems appropriate, acting reasonably; or 

  

	(c)	cause the continuance of the Plan and the assumption of all or a portion of any of the options outstanding under the Plan by a successor corporation.

 If the options outstanding under the Plan are exchanged, continued or assumed in accordance with either of paragraphs
(b) or (c) as set out above, all of the options outstanding under the Plan (or outstanding stock options which were provided in exchange therefore under paragraph (b) above) will vest immediately and become exercisable. 

In the event that the Board Committee wishes to cause all or a portion of any of the options outstanding under the Plan to terminate on the occurrence of
a triggering event, it must give written notice to the Participants in question not less than 10 days prior to the consummation of a triggering event so as to permit the Participant the opportunity to exercise the vested portion of the options prior
to such termination. Upon the giving of such notice and subject to any necessary regulatory approvals, all options or portions thereof outstanding under the Plan which the Company proposes to terminate shall become immediately exercisable
notwithstanding any contingent vesting provision to which such options may have otherwise been subject.

 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR 
  
 All benefits, rights and options accruing to any Participant in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan shall not
be transferable or assignable unless specifically provided for by the Plan. 
 The option period shall be a period of time fixed by the Board
Committee not to exceed a maximum of five years. 
 The expiry date of outstanding options which may expire during a Blackout Period imposed by
the Company in accordance with applicable securities laws will be extended for a period of ten business days commencing on the first business day after the expiry date of the Blackout Period. 
 If a Participant shall cease to be a director, officer, consultant or employee of the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates for any reason (other than death and cause), the Participant may exercise
the Participant’s options to the extent that the Participant was entitled to exercise such options at the date of such cessation as set out in an option agreement with such Participant, or if there is none, no later than the first to occur of
the expiry date of the option and 90 days after the date of such cessation as a director, officer, consultant or employee of the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates, subject to the Board Committee, in its sole discretion, approving a
reasonable period which is longer than 90 days and subject to any restrictions under applicable TSX policies and rules. 
 If a Participant
shall cease to be a director, officer, consultant or employee of the Company for cause, such Participant’s options shall terminate immediately when the Participant ceases to be a director, officer, consultant or employee. For the purposes of
the Plan, “cause” means any act or omission of the Participant in connection with providing services as a director, officer, consultant or employee which, if the Participant were an employee of the Company, would in law permit the Company
to, without a notice period or payment in lieu of a notice period, terminate the employment of an employee in the Participant’s circumstances. 
 Subject to applicable approval of the TSX, the Board Committee may, at any time, suspend or terminate the Plan. Subject to applicable approval of the TSX, the Board Committee may also at any time amend or
revise the terms of the Plan, provided that no such amendment or revision shall alter the terms of any options theretofore granted under the Plan, except as otherwise set out herein.

 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR 
  
 CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRACTICES 
 In compliance with the requirements of the Business Corporations Act of British Columbia, under which the Company was continued in 2005, the directors are elected by the shareholders to manage, or
supervise the management of, the business and affairs of the Company. In exercising their powers and discharging their duties, the directors are required to act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company and to
exercise the care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances. 
 Pursuant to National
Instrument 58-101 Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices (“NI 58-101”), the Company is required to disclose its corporate governance practices, as summarized below. 

BOARD OF DIRECTORS 
 The
Board is currently comprised of seven directors, Messrs. John A. McCluskey, James M. McDonald, Mark Wayne, David Gower, Paul Murphy, Anthony Garson and Kenneth Stowe. Mr. McDonald is not standing for re-election at the Meeting. All proposed
nominees are current directors of the Company. It is proposed to set the number of directors to six for the ensuing year. 
 NI 58-101 suggests
that the Board of a public company should be constituted with a majority of individuals who qualify as “independent” directors. An “independent” director is a director who is independent of management and is free from any
interest and any business or other relationship which could, or could reasonably be perceived to materially interfere with the director’s ability to act with a view to the best interests of the company, other than interests and relationships
arising from shareholding. In addition, where a company has a significant shareholder, NI 58-101 suggests that the Board should include a number of directors who do not have interests in either the company or a significant shareholder thereof. Of
the proposed nominees of the Company, Mark Wayne, David Gower, Paul Murphy, Anthony Garson and Kenneth Stowe are all considered by the Board to be “independent” within the meaning of NI 58-101 and John A. McCluskey is a management director
and accordingly is considered to be “non-independent”. 
 The independent directors exercise their responsibilities for independent
oversight of management, and are provided leadership through their majority control of the Board and schedule to meet independently of management at each Board meeting, or whenever deemed necessary.

 INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN MATTERS TO BE
ACTED UPON 
 Other than as disclosed elsewhere in this Information Circular and other than transactions carried out in the ordinary course
of business of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, none of the directors or executive officers of the Company, no proposed nominee for election as a director of the Company, none of the persons who has been a director or executive officer of the
Company at any time since January 1, 2011 (being the commencement of the Company’s last completed financial year), and no shareholder beneficially owning shares carrying more than 10% of the voting rights attached to the shares of the
Company nor an associate or affiliate of any of the foregoing persons has any material interest, direct or indirect, in any matter to be acted upon at the Meeting other than the election of directors. 

PARTICULARS OF OTHER MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON 
 Approval of Amendments to the Plan and of Unallocated Options Pursuant to the Plan 

The Company originally implemented the Plan as a “rolling stock option plan” in 2005 and initially obtained shareholder approval of the Plan on
May 24, 2005. The Plan was last ratified by the shareholders of the Company on May 15, 2008. The purpose of the Plan is to advance the interests of the Company and its stakeholders and subsidiaries by attracting, retaining and motivating
the performance of selected officers of high calibre and potential, and those employees, consultants and directors of the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates who were previously granted options under the Plan, and to encourage and enable such
persons to acquire and retain a proprietary interest in the Company by ownership of its shares. The Company views the grant of stock options to its officers as critical to its ability to attract and retain highly skilled professionals. The Company
is also of the view that if such professionals were not incentivized through stock options, they would need to be otherwise incentivized through substantially increased cash compensation. 
 On April 24, 2012, the Board approved certain amendments to the Plan, as set out above under “Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans”. Such amendments are
subject to the approval of the shareholders of the Company. At the Meeting, the shareholders of the Company will be asked to consider and, if deemed advisable, approve an ordinary resolution to approve such amendments to the Plan. 

  
  

42 | ALAMOS GOLD INC 

 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR 
  
 The Plan permits the Company, from time to time and in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements, to grant to
Participants options to purchase common shares, of up to 7% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares, assuming shareholder approval of the amendments to the Plan are obtained. See “Securities Authorized for Issuance under
Equity Compensation Plans” for a summary of the material terms of the Plan. In accordance with the requirements of the TSX, every three years after institution, all unallocated options, rights and other entitlements under a security based
compensation arrangement which does not have a fixed maximum number of securities issuable (commonly referred to as a “rolling plan”) must be approved by a majority of the issuer’s directors and the issuer’s securityholders.
Accordingly, at a board of directors meeting held on April 24, 2012, the Board unanimously approved all unallocated stock options which may be granted under the Plan for a further term of three years. Additionally, in accordance with the
policies of the TSX, the Company will be seeking shareholder approval to approve all unallocated stock options which may be granted under the Plan for a further term of three years. 
 As at April 26, 2012, the Company had 119,502,808 common shares issued and outstanding. Under the Company’s rolling stock option plan it is permitted to issue options representing up to 7% of
the issued and outstanding shares, assuming shareholder approval of the amendments to the Plan are obtained. Based on 119,502,808 common shares outstanding, this permits the Company to issue stock options for the purchase of 8,365,197 common shares,
assuming shareholder approval of the amendments to the Plan are obtained. As at April 26, 2012, the Company has granted stock options for the purchase of 5,240,900 common shares representing 4.4% of the issued and outstanding common shares.

 If the resolution approving all unallocated options under the Plan is not approved by shareholders of the Company at the Meeting, currently
outstanding options will continue unaffected; however, the Company will not have the ability to grant further stock options under the Plan. Furthermore, currently outstanding options that are subsequently cancelled or terminated will not be
available for re-issuance under the Plan. At the Meeting, the shareholders of the Company will be asked to consider and, if deemed advisable, approve an ordinary resolution to approve all unallocated options under the Plan. 

The form of ordinary resolution to be considered by shareholders of the Company at the Meeting is as follows: 

BE IT RESOLVED THAT: 
  

	1.	the amendments to the stock option plan (the “Plan”) of Alamos Gold Inc. (the “Company”) which were approved by the board of directors of the
Company on April 24, 2012 are hereby approved, including: 

  

	 	(a)	the persons eligible to receive grants of new options under the Plan be restricted to officers of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates; provided that the
Plan continues to govern the outstanding options previously granted to officers, directors, employees and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates; 

 

	 	(b)	a provision be adopted which clarifies that in the event of an inconsistency between the option terms set out in the Plan and the option terms set out in other
agreements under which a Participant may have received such options, the terms provided in the Plan will prevail; 

  

	 	(c)	the maximum number of shares issuable under the Plan be reduced to 7% of the issued and outstanding shares from time to time; 

 

	 	(d)	the options which can be granted to a Participant in any 12 month period be restricted to such number of options which permit the Participant to purchase a maximum of
3% of the number of issued and outstanding shares of the Company;

	 	(e)	the maximum term of any option granted under the Plan be reduced to five years, subject to an extension of 10 business days in the event of a black-out period;

  

	 	(f)	amended vesting, adjustment and termination provisions be adopted in connection with alterations to the Company’s capital structure, a change of control and
certain triggering events; 

  

	 	(g)	additional amendment provisions specifying when shareholder approval of amendments is required be adopted; and 

 

	 	(h)	certain other minor amendments of a “housekeeping nature” be adopted. 

 

	2.	all unallocated options under the Plan are hereby approved and the Company has the ability to grant options under the Plan until May 31, 2015, that is until the
date that is three years from the date of the Meeting at which this resolution is passed by shareholders of the Company; and 

  

	3.	any director or officer of the Company is hereby authorized and directed, acting for, in the name of and on behalf of the Company, to execute or cause to be executed,
under the seal of the Company or otherwise, and to deliver or cause to be delivered, such other documents and instruments, and to do or cause to be done all such other acts and things, as may in the opinion of such director or officer of the Company
be necessary or desirable to carry out the intent of the foregoing resolution. 

 In the absence of contrary instructions, the
persons designated in the accompanying Form of Proxy intend to vote in favour of the above resolutions. 
 In order to be effective, the
ordinary resolution approving the unallocated options under the Plan must be approved by a majority of votes cast at the meeting, in person or by proxy. 
 The directors believe that the above ordinary resolution to approve unallocated stock options that may be granted under the Plan is in the best interests of the Company and recommend that the shareholders
approve such resolution. 
 A complete copy of the Plan will be available for inspection at the Meeting and is available upon request to the
Company at the address set out below in “Additional Information”. 
 Management of the Company knows of no other matters to come
before the Meeting other than those referred to in the Notice of Meeting accompanying this Information Circular. However, if any other matters properly come before the Meeting, it is the intention of the persons named in the form of proxy
accompanying this Information Circular to vote the same in accordance with their best judgment of such matters.
