As further described in the Company’s management information circular dated October 18, 2021, if the shareholders of the Company approve the creation of a new class of shares designated as proportionate voting shares, the common shares of the Company will become “restricted securities” upon filing a notice of alteration to Hollister’s articles in accordance with the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia).

No dividend will be declared or paid on the proportionate voting shares unless the Company simultaneously declares or pays, as applicable, equivalent dividends (on an as converted to common share basis) on the common shares. In addition, each proportionate voting share will be convertible into 1,000 common shares.
