(____________________________ )
(1) Ineligible Foreign Shareholder will not receive Endeavour shares (in the form of CDIs or shares) under the Scheme. Instead, the number of Endeavour shares that would otherwise have been issued to them under the Scheme will be issued to a Sale Agent, as each Ineligible Foreign Shareholder's nominee in trust, who will sell those Endeavour shares on the TSX following the implementation of the Scheme. The Sale Agent will then pay each Ineligible Foreign Shareholder the sale proceeds, net of any brokerage, taxes and charges.
(2) As the exact number of Endeavour CDIs to be issued to you will not be known until after the Adamus Record Date and will not be communicated to you until after you receive your confirmation of issue following the Implementation Date, if you trade in Endeavour CDIs during the deferred settlement period and prior to receipt of the written confirmation of issue, you do so at your own risk.
