Shareholders will not be able to attend the Meeting in person.

 

At the Meeting you will be asked to vote on the following items of business:

(a)to receive and consider the consolidated audited financial statements of Mountain Province for the year ended December 31, 2019, together with the report of the auditors thereon;

Shareholders are able to request to receive copies of the Corporation’s annual report (including audited consolidated financial statements and MD&A) and/or interim consolidated financial report and MD&A by marking the appropriate box on the form of proxy or voting instruction form, as applicable. The audited annual consolidated financial statements and MD&A of the Corporation for the year ended December 31, 2019 are being sent to those shareholders who have previously requested to receive them. Otherwise, they are available upon request to the Corporation at info@mountainprovince.com or they can be found on SEDAR at www.sedar.com, or on the Corporation’s website at www.mountainprovince.com.

 

 
 

 

As described in the notice and access notification mailed to shareholders of the Corporation, the Corporation will deliver the Meeting Materials to shareholders by posting the Meeting Materials on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on its website (www.mountainprovince.com). The use of this alternative means of delivery is more environmentally friendly as it will help reduce paper use and it will also reduce the Corporation’s printing and mailing costs.

The Meeting Materials will be available on the Corporation’s website as of August 7, 2020, and will remain on the website for one full year thereafter. The Meeting Materials will also be available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com as of August 7, 2020.

 

Shareholders who wish to receive paper copies of the Meeting Materials may request copies from the Corporation by calling toll-free in North America at 1-855-561-4524 or by email at info@mountainprovince.com. Meeting Materials will be sent to such shareholders at no cost to them within three business days of their request, if such requests are made before the Meeting.

 

The Board of Directors of the Corporation has fixed the close of business on July 31, 2020 as the record date, being the date for the determination of the registered holders of common shares entitled to receive notice of, and to vote at, the Meeting and any adjournment thereof.

 

The Board of Directors of the Corporation has fixed close of business (Eastern Time) on September 7, 2020, or no later than 48 hours before the time of any adjourned Meeting (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays), as the time before which proxies to be used or acted upon at the Meeting or any adjournment thereof shall be deposited with the Corporation’s transfer agent.
