Advice on how registered shareholders can vote

Registered holders are shareholders who were issued a physical share certificate that has not been deposited into a brokerage account or with a depository company. This share certificate would have been issued by the Company's transfer agent. The Company's current transfer agent is Equity Financial Trust Company Ltd ("Equity").

If you are a registered shareholder and have not received your shareholder material in the mail please email Equity at investor@equityfinancialtrust.com or call them at 416.361.0152 noting the Company's name and request your voting control number and the steps on how to vote. This could include internet voting, completing a form of proxy and faxing it to Equity, or some other method as described by Equity.

If you have received your shareholder information and were planning to mail the form of proxy, please instead fax it to Equity at 416.595.9593 or scan and email it to the email address noted above.

Advice on how beneficial shareholders can vote

Beneficial holders are shareholders who hold their investment through a brokerage house or a depository company. These shareholders should contact their broker directly as each intermediary has its own form of proxy return instructions.

If shareholders have not received their shareholder material, they should contact their brokerage house or depository company and ask to obtain their voting control number and the steps of how to vote. Brokerage houses and depository companies will have their own specific procedures on how to vote. This could include internet voting, completing a form of proxy and faxing it, directing your broker over the phone on how you wish to vote or some other method as described by your brokerage house or depository company.

If you have received your shareholder material, contact your brokerage house or depository company directly on how to get your form of proxy returned so that your vote can be counted.
