All Shareholders will have an opportunity to participate in the meeting online regardless of their geographic location. Shareholders will not be able to attend the meeting in person.

In accordance with Section 110 (2) of the Companies Act Chap. 81:01, the Directors of the Company have fixed November 18, 2021, as the Record Date for the determination of shareholders who are entitled to receive notice of the Annual Meeting. A list of such Shareholders will be available, for examination by shareholders, at the Office of the Registrar during usual business hours.

PROXIES
Shareholders of the Company, entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting, are entitled to appoint one or more proxies to attend and, in a poll, vote instead of them. A proxy need not be a shareholder. Any instrument appointing a proxy must be received at the Registrar’s Office, not less than 48 hours before the Meeting. Shareholders who return completed proxy forms are not precluded, if subsequently they so wish, from joining the Meeting instead of their proxies and voting. In the event of a poll, their proxy votes lodged with the Registrar, will be excluded.

VOTING
To vote on Resolutions, a popup screen will appear stating the resolution number. Simply click (press for touch screens) the button next to the word “For” or “Against” depending on your vote. Please select carefully as you cannot change your vote or vote more than once when your vote is sent. To be able to vote, you must download the Zoom app on your computer or smart phone or tablet before the event.
