This reliance is made in compliance with the terms and conditions specified therein and in full adherence to the applicable laws and regulations governing such exemptions.
The annual matters to be approved at the Meeting include, receiving and considering the audited annual financial statements of the Company for the year-ended March 31, 2024; appointing an auditor of the Company for the ensuing year and to authorize the directors to fix their remuneration; fixing the number of directors at three; electing the directors for the ensuing year; approving the Company's rolling stock option plan and restricted share unit plan; and considering other business as may properly come before the Meeting or any postponement(s) or adjournment(s) thereof.
The Meeting Materials (as defined below) included a special resolution seeking shareholder approval for the proposed consolidation of the Company's common shares. However, in accordance with section 8 of NI 51-931 - Temporary Exemption from Requirements in National Instrument 51-102 Continuous Disclosure Requirements and National Instrument 54-101 Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer - which addresses the inability to send certain proxy-related materials during a postal strike, special business may not be voted upon. The Company may look to reschedule the Meeting based on its record date in the event the postal strike is resolved in a timely manner. The Company will provide an update in due course.
