ANNUAL INFORMATION FORM

February 13, 2025

All amounts referred to in this Annual Information Form (“AIF”) are in United States dollars unless otherwise indicated. All financial and statistical data in this AIF is presented as at December 31, 2024 unless otherwise indicated.

Corporate structure

Colliers International Group Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our,” “Colliers,” or the “Company”) was formed under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) by Articles of Arrangement dated June 1, 2015. The predecessor to the Company, FirstService Corporation (“Old FSV”), was formed by Articles of Incorporation dated February 25, 1988. Old FSV amalgamated with Coloma Resources Limited pursuant to Articles of Amalgamation dated July 31, 1988, and the amalgamated corporation continued as Old FSV.

By Articles of Amendment dated April 2, 1990, Old FSV: (i) consolidated each of its Class A Subordinate Voting Shares on a 30 to 1 basis and changed the designation of that class of shares to “Subordinate Voting Shares”, each such share carrying one vote; and (ii) consolidated each of its Class B shares on a 30 to 1 basis and changed the designation of that class of shares to “Multiple Voting Shares”, each such share carrying 20 votes. All of the Multiple Voting Shares have been controlled by Jay S. Hennick, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, from 1990 to present.

By Certificate of Amendment dated June 27, 2007, the first series of Preference Shares of Old FSV were created and designated as 7% cumulative preference shares, series 1 (the “Preferred Shares”), with each Preferred Share having a stated value of US$25.00 and carrying a fixed cumulative annual dividend of US$1.75. All outstanding Preferred Shares were eliminated on May 3, 2013 by way of a partial redemption for cash of $39.2 million immediately followed by a mandatory conversion of all then remaining Preferred Shares into Subordinate Voting Shares, which resulted in the issuance of 2.9 million new Subordinate Voting Shares.

On June 1, 2015, Old FSV completed a plan of arrangement (the “Spin-off”) which separated Old FSV into two independent publicly traded companies – Colliers, a global leader in diversified professional real estate services and new FirstService Corporation (“FirstService”), the North American leader in residential property management and related services. The Spin-off was designed to enhance long-term value for shareholders by creating two independent and sustainable companies, each with the ability to pursue and achieve greater success by employing independent value creation strategies best suited to its core businesses and customers. Under the Spin-off, Old FSV shareholders received one Colliers share and one FirstService share of the same class as each Old FSV share previously held, Old FSV amalgamated with a wholly-owned subsidiary and changed its name to Colliers and FirstService adopted the name “FirstService Corporation”.

On April 16, 2021, after receiving approval from 95% of disinterested shareholders, the Company completed a transaction to settle the Management Services Agreement, including the Long Term Incentive Arrangement (“LTIA”), between Colliers, Mr. Hennick and Jayset Management CIG Inc., a corporation controlled by Mr. Hennick. This transaction also established a timeline for the orderly elimination of our dual class voting structure by no later than September 1, 2028.

Our Subordinate Voting Shares are publicly traded on both the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) (symbol: CIGI) and the NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”) (symbol: CIGI). Our head and registered office is located at 1140 Bay Street, Suite 4000, Toronto, Ontario, M5S 2B4. Our fiscal year-end is December 31.

General development of the business

Our origins date back to 1972 when Mr. Hennick started a Toronto commercial swimming pool and recreational facility management business, which became the foundation of Old FSV. In 1993, we completed our initial public offering on the TSX, raising C$20 million. In 1995, our shares were listed on NASDAQ. In 1997, a second stock offering was completed in Canada and the United States raising US$20 million. In December 2004, a stock dividend was declared effectively achieving a 2-for-1 stock split for all outstanding Subordinate Voting Shares and Multiple Voting Shares. In 2009, Old FSV issued $77 million of convertible unsecured subordinate debentures, which were subsequently converted into 2.7 million Subordinate Voting Shares in 2014. In 2020, the Company issued $230 million of Convertible Senior Subordinate Notes (“Convertible Notes”), which were subsequently converted into 4.0 million Subordinate Voting Shares in 2023. In 2024, the Company completed a $300 million public offering of equity, issuing 2.5 million Subordinate Voting Shares.

In 2004, we established a commercial real estate services division under the “Colliers International” brand with the acquisition of Colliers Macaulay Nicolls Inc. (“CMN”). Since that time, we have strengthened this business across markets and acquired numerous businesses within existing and new markets, greatly expanding its geographic scope, services and talent. Today, Colliers is one of the world’s largest commercial real estate services providers offering a full range of commercial real estate services in the United States, Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, Germany, New Zealand, China and several other countries in Asia, Europe and Latin America.

In 2015, we completed the Spin-off, creating two independent publicly traded companies: Colliers in commercial real estate services and FirstService in residential property management and related services. Commencing at such time, Colliers began a transformation with a focus on becoming a global, diversified professional services and investment management company. Since 2016, the Company has invested in two new high-value and resilient platforms – Engineering and Investment Management – both with significant growth potential.

-4-

Real Estate Services

At the time of the Spin-off, Colliers was one of the fastest growing global real estate services companies. The Company has since completed multiple acquisitions, including certain licensee affiliates, as well as entered new geographies and service lines.

In May 2020, we acquired a controlling interest in four subsidiaries of Dougherty Financial Group LLC – Dougherty Mortgage LLC, Dougherty & Company LLC, Dougherty Funding LLC and Dougherty Insurance Agency LLC (together “Dougherty”). Dougherty’s mortgage banking operations were rebranded as “Colliers Mortgage” which provides specialty debt financing through its relationships with US government agencies while all brokerage, investment banking, capital markets and public finance services are carried on through “Colliers Securities” which is licensed under the Securities and Exchange Commission and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”).

With continued investments in talent and capabilities, strong operational leadership and strategic acquisitions, the Company continues to serve a wide range of clients across diverse asset classes worldwide.

Investment Management

Colliers established its Investment Management division in 2016 with the acquisition of ICADE Asset Management and ICADE Conseil (“ICADE”), an asset management and investor advisory services platform in France with €2 billion of assets under management (“AUM"- see “Reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures”) in Europe.

In 2018, we acquired 75% of the ownership interests in Harrison Street Real Estate Capital, LLC (“Harrison Street”), a real estate investment firm dedicated to demographic-themed direct private investing with $15.6 billion in AUM as of June 30, 2018. The senior management team of Harrison Street holds the balance of the equity. Headquartered in Chicago, with offices in New York, San Francisco, Washington, D.C., Toronto, Tokyo and London. Harrison Street is a pioneer in demographic-themed real estate investing.

In April 2022, we completed the acquisition of controlling interests in Antirion SGR S.p.A. (“Antirion”), a real estate investment management firm in Italy, and its commercial real estate services affiliate, Colliers Italy. Antirion was subsequently rebranded as Colliers Global Investors.

In June 2022, we acquired a 75% controlling interest in Basalt Infrastructure Partners LLP (“Basalt”), a London-based transatlantic infrastructure investment management firm. Basalt is focused on private direct mid-market investments in the utility, transportation, energy/renewables and communications sectors.

In July 2022, we completed the acquisition of a 65% controlling interest in Rockwood Capital, LLC (“Rockwood”), a US real estate investment management firm. Rockwood specializes in equity and credit investments across multifamily, office, mixed use, life science, hospitality, and retail asset classes in North America.

In October 2022, we acquired a 75% controlling interest in Versus Capital (“Versus”), a US alternative real asset management firm with private wealth distribution capabilities and a series of perpetual funds targeted at this investor class.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company reached $99 billion in AUM, driven by both internal growth and acquisitions.

Engineering

In 2020, we acquired a controlling interest in Maser Consulting P.A. (“Maser”), a multi-disciplinary engineering design and consulting firm operating in the US Mid-Atlantic region, which was our entry into the rapidly growing engineering sector. The operation was rebranded as “Colliers Engineering & Design” in 2021. We followed this with several acquisitions in the US to enhance our technical service capabilities and expand geographically.

-5-

In August 2022, we acquired a controlling interest in PeakUrban Pty Limited (“PeakUrban”), a civil engineering, infrastructure, planning and urban design company in Australia, thereby establishing an engineering service line in the country. The business has rebranded as Colliers Engineering & Design and integrated into Colliers’ existing Australian operations.

In July 2024, we added engineering capabilities in Canada with the acquisition of an 89% controlling interest in Englobe Corporation (“Englobe”), a multi-discipline engineering, environmental and inspection services firm with 2,800 employees.

Effective in the third quarter of 2024, the Company combined its existing project management operations with engineering under a new reporting segment – “Engineering” – to better reflect the nature of the technical professional services, operating characteristics, clients and growth of this platform.

Narrative description of Colliers

History

CMN traces its roots back to 1898 when Macaulay Nicolls was founded in Vancouver, Canada as a property management and insurance agency. Colliers originated in 1976 in Australia through the merger of three commercial property services firms. In 1984, Colliers joined forces with Macaulay Nicolls to form CMN. Over the years, CMN continued to grow as other commercial real estate service providers joined the group. In 2004, Old FSV acquired a controlling interest in CMN. At the time of the acquisition by Old FSV, CMN was the largest affiliate of Colliers International generating approximately $250 million in annual revenue.

With the financial and strategic support of Old FSV, CMN accelerated its growth by expanding into complementary service areas and growing into other geographic regions. By 2010, Old FSV had unified all operations under the “Colliers International” brand name with one mission and standardized business practices delivered consistently globally.

Following the 2015 Spin-off, Colliers, as an independent public company, began to pursue a strategy of diversifying its business with a focus on adding complimentary high-value professional services. In 2016, we entered the Investment Management sector and in 2020 we entered the Engineering sector.

The Real Estate Services segment comprises the former Americas, EMEA and Asia Pacific regions, excluding engineering and project management, which are now reported within the new Engineering segment. The Investment Management segment remains unchanged. Prior period comparative data have been recast to reflect the new segments.

2024 Revenues by Asset Class

We provide Capital Markets services in the following areas:

• Property Sales: Colliers’ sales advisors work collaboratively to provide real estate expertise to our clients, acting in a consultancy capacity to help each client maximize investment returns, whether as a buyer, seller or borrower. Our advisors are organized into office, industrial, retail, multifamily, hospitality, healthcare, alternatives and special purpose teams in order to drive thought leadership for each major asset class. Many team members also represent subspecialties in areas such as affordable housing, data centers, land, self-storage and transit-oriented development. These investment teams are further organized in subsets to meet the needs of both our institutional and private capital clients, recognizing that these client groupings have different needs. These investment teams understand the intricacies of single asset and portfolio executions and, with the assistance of our advisors, are globally connected with active market participants. Integrally supporting these investment teams are national and/or regional groups of financing advisors that help both our institutional and private capital clients with senior and subordinated debt strategies and placements with a global network of capital providers. Many of our financing advisors have experience helping our clients with equity strategies and placements, including partnership capitalizations and recapitalizations. Our financing professionals are in the market continuously with these capital sources, providing our clients with significant market intelligence and leverage when evaluating their financing needs. Our teams work closely with each service line, including property management, leasing, and valuations to serve the broader business needs of each client.

• Debt Finance Services: Through Colliers Mortgage, we provide specialty debt financing for multifamily housing, healthcare and senior housing real estate through US government sponsored agencies. This includes origination, underwriting and asset management for Fannie Mae, the Federal Housing Administration / US Department of Housing and Urban Development (FHA/HUD) and the US Department of Agriculture (USDA). Loan origination and placement lead to Loan Servicing (see “Loan Servicing” above). Colliers Mortgage also provides commercial property loan placement across most asset classes to institutional investors as well as loan syndication. In markets outside the US, we provide loan placement services across a variety of asset classes. In 2024, the Company originated a total volume of $6.4 billion.

-9-

• Mortgage Investment Banking: Colliers Securities provides brokerage, investment banking, capital markets services, public finance services and other real estate related activities in the US.

Leasing

We provide Lease brokerage services to owners and occupiers of commercial real estate across all major asset classes. We have long-standing relationships with both large and medium-sized occupiers and owners. Our services are engaged on a repeat basis for lease renewals and relocations.

2024 Revenues by Asset Class

We provide Leasing services as follows:

• Landlord Representation: Agency advisors work on behalf of property owners to search for and obtain tenants by strategically positioning and promoting the property through various campaigns and marketing channels. Agency advisors work closely with our Property Management professionals to secure tenants for properties we manage.

• Tenant Representation: Our advisors work on behalf of tenants to lease the right space in the right location and secure the most favorable terms. Our advisors help to turn a lease, often the second-greatest expenditure for a business after payroll, from a cost center into a competitive advantage that can elevate a client’s brand, streamline their operations, attract leading talent and make a meaningful impact to their business.

Outsourcing

Our Outsourcing services include Property Management, Valuation & Advisory and Loan Servicing. In addition, we consult with large occupiers in managing their overall real estate portfolios and transactions, providing corporate and workplace solutions to reduce costs, improve execution across multiple markets and increase operational efficiency. Professional staff combine proprietary technology with high level strategic planning, portfolio management, lease administration and facilities management to deliver bespoke solutions to our clients. Outsourcing services revenues are derived from fees which are typically contractual, both fixed and fee for service, and contract terms are often multi-year providing recurring or repeat revenues.

-10-

2024 Revenues by Service

Our Outsourcing services include:

• Property Management: We provide oversight and management of the daily operations of a single property or portfolio of properties and provide on-going strategic advice on ways in which clients can maximize the value of their properties. Services are provided under long-term contract and include building operations and maintenance, facilities management, lease administration, property accounting and financial reporting, contract management and construction management. We ensure that we implement the owner’s specific property value enhancement objectives through maximization of opportunities to help clients ensure excellent tenant relations while maximizing property level cash flows.

• Valuation & Advisory: We provide clients with an opinion of a property’s value that complies with a client’s requirements and applicable professional standards and regulations to offer a nuanced understanding of the property and broader market trends. Our advisors leverage technology to offer clients both speed and accuracy while maintaining a dedicated project leader and senior management oversight to ensure quality and accountability. Services include valuation and appraisal review and management, portfolio or single asset valuation, financial reporting advisory, arbitration consulting, research, highest and best use studies, property tax reviews as well as appeals and litigation support.

• Occupier Services: We work as an extension of a client’s team to provide deep expertise and a comprehensive set of portfolio management, transaction management, project management, workplace strategy (including “return to office”), strategic consulting, property and asset management as well as other real estate services. Our Occupier Services clients are typically companies or public sector institutions with large, highly distributed real estate portfolios. We typically enter into long-term, contractual relationships with these clients to ensure that real estate strategies are developed to support their overall business needs. This service line offers clients a suite of services under the leadership and accountability of an account leader who is responsible for overall performance around the world. Many of our contracts contain fees that are tied to performance against client objectives (such as cost and footprint reduction, cycle-time improvement, and customer satisfaction) instead of fees based solely on transaction commissions. Our Occupier Services teams have a unified value proposition which is to deliver customized, accountable, and innovative real estate solutions that result in the best service experience and alignment with our client’s core business strategy. We have developed technology through Colliers360 (which provides clients with user-friendly, fast and flexible dashboarding and analytics which allows us to measure performance and help our clients make efficient, well-informed decisions regarding their real estate portfolio. Colliers360 also includes business intelligence that populates data from various independent and client related sources. Our Workplace Expert tool recommends office environments and potential configurations tailored to their client’s specific business needs. We also provide lease administration, transaction, project management and facilities management systems. Occupier Services revenues are recognized under the respective service lines that are offered in the contract.

-11-

• Loan Servicing: We service all loans originated by our debt finance operations as well as certain loans originated by third parties. Our services are provided under long-term contracts and include managing the administrative aspects of the loan, collection of monthly payments, maintenance of records and management of escrow funds among others. Our loan servicing portfolio was $16.4 billion as at December 31, 2024 and had an average remaining life of 14.2 years.

Engineering

We are a rapidly growing player in the engineering design and consulting, project management, architectural and environmental services sector, with more than 9,000 employees globally. Backed by strong infrastructure renewal, energy transition and urbanization tailwinds, the engineering sector is a large and highly fragmented market with opportunities to grow internally and consolidate through acquisitions.

Since we first established Colliers Engineering & Design in 2020 with the acquisition of Maser, we have grown to become one of the top 50 global design firms based on Engineering News Record’s annual ranking. Our vision is to lead the industry with proven expertise and innovative, sustainable solutions through exceptional work and client experience. Our client base is diversified with a balanced mix of both public and private sector clients. Our client centered approach enables us to foster long-term relationships which translate to repeat work from our clients. As a result of our focus on service and client diversification, our business is resilient, allowing us the ability to respond to changing market conditions quickly and effectively.

-13-

The majority of our contracts are medium to long-term in duration. Clients generally have a portfolio of assets which leads to opportunities for repeat business and the development of long-term relationships. Contracts are structured on a fixed price or cost-plus basis.

Investment Management

Our Investment Management segment is a global alternative asset manager with long-standing, cycle tested expertise across high growth and defensive sectors within real assets. Our differentiated approach focuses on long-duration, demographic, needs-based and essential real assets; middle-market infrastructure like communications, transport, energy, and utilities; real asset private credit; and core and opportunistic real estate strategies. We invest capital for the long-term through our differentiated strategies that have strong tailwinds, are resilient through cycles, and are designed to deliver top-tier risk-adjusted returns. We serve more than 900 clients across the globe, including institutional investors, sovereign wealth funds, public and corporate pension funds, endowments, insurance companies, foundations and family offices.

Since 2016, when we first established Investment Management operations in Europe, with the acquisition of ICADE, our platform has grown substantially, fueled by strong fundraising across all our products and investment vehicles.

During the same period, our AUM has grown to $99 billion fueled by both fundraising and acquisitions. We currently have approximately 575 employees.

In 2018, we acquired a 75% ownership interest in Harrison Street. Harrison Street has over 300 employees. In 2023, Harrison Street was ranked 25th in the PERE Top 100 Private Real Estate Managers and also received three PERE Awards, including ‘Alternatives Investor of the Year’ globally. In 2024, Harrison Street was named as the “Best Place to Work in Money Management” by Pension & Investments for the tenth year. Members of the senior management team hold a 25% redeemable non-controlling equity interest in Harrison Street. As of December 31, 2024, Harrison Street had $58.9 billion in AUM.

In 2022, the Company made a concerted effort to significantly expand its investment management capabilities, acquiring majority ownership interests in four firms (Antirion, Basalt, Rockwood and Versus) across carefully curated product types, including infrastructure, alternatives, traditional real estate and credit in North America and Europe, with a specific focus on long-duration funds. Members of the management teams of the four firms hold redeemable non-controlling equity interests in their respective firms.

In total, as of December 31, 2024, the Company had $99 billion of AUM, with 86% in perpetual or long-dated investment strategies. We deploy capital across four main investments strategies, namely, alternative real estate, infrastructure, traditional real estate and credit, with more than 75% deployed in highly defensive alternative real estate and infrastructure asset classes. The Company’s fee-paying assets under management (“FPAUM”) (See “Reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures”) were $50.0 billion as of December 31, 2024.

-14-

Long Duration, Highly Differentiated AUM

The Company’s investment products consist of (i) perpetual funds, (ii) long-dated funds and (iii) separately managed accounts. We generate contractual management fee revenue from each of the funds and separately managed accounts under our management and have an opportunity to generate performance fee revenues on long-dated funds under our management.

Perpetual (open-end) funds

In our perpetual funds, management fees are based on net asset value (“NAV”). NAV is calculated quarterly using data from third party valuation advisors to determine the current market value of the private real estate and real assets in the funds.

Investors in our perpetual funds may invest on a quarterly basis at the then-current NAV. Investors can also request to have their interests redeemed on a periodic basis, at the then-current NAV. There are typically restrictions around redemption requests, including lock-up periods and gating provisions that restrict the amount that can be redeemed in any quarterly period in order to preserve fund liquidity and to ensure the efficient operation of the fund for the benefit of all investors. We also have flexibility in the timing of funding redemptions given the underlying illiquid nature of the funds’ private real estate and real assets.

Long-dated (closed-end) funds

Our long-dated funds typically have a ten-year term with two one-year extensions, at the option of the manager.

We generate management fees based on committed capital or invested capital in these funds. Committed capital is used to calculate fees during the investment period, which typically comprises the first 3 years of a fund’s life. Management fees commence on the date of a fund’s “first close”, which is the date that the initial investors legally commit to invest in the fund. Additional investors may commit to invest in the fund during the investment period, however they are required to pay management fees from the “first close” date. This results in our recognition of “catch-up” management fees when such investors make commitments after the first close date. After the end of the investment period, the management fee is calculated based on invested capital, which is typically 90-95% of the committed capital amount.

In addition to the contractual management fee, we are also entitled to earn performance fees (sometimes referred to as carried interest) on long-dated funds, provided that we meet or exceed certain contractually agreed preferred return targets. Carried interest revenue is recognized when it is highly probable that such return targets will be exceeded, typically when the fund is near the end of its life and the underlying fund assets have been sold or are in the process of being sold. Colliers is only entitled to receive carried interest on funds established on or after acquisition dates of its Investment Management firms. Historical carried interest on funds established prior to acquisition dates is structured as a pass-through to the prior owners with no impact on the Company’s earnings.

-15-

Management fee revenue is expected to be relatively stable and recurring due to: (i) historically consistent fund financial performance at or exceeding industry benchmarks, which we anticipate will continue in the future; (ii) the generally defensive nature of the sectors being invested in by the funds; and (iii) management fees for long-dated funds based on committed capital or invested capital rather than marked-to-market NAV, providing for revenue stability throughout the life of the funds.

Separately managed accounts

The Company also has separately managed accounts (“SMAs”) where we agree to provide investment management services to individual institutional investors to fulfill their specific long-term investment objectives, investing directly in private real estate and real assets. SMAs are subject to contractual management agreements, with management fees earned based on NAV and/or as a transaction fee in connection with the acquisition or disposition of assets.

Focus on recurring service lines

Over the last ten years, Colliers has focused on growing its high-value recurring revenue streams – Outsourcing, Engineering and Investment Management. These services represent medium to long-term duration revenue streams that are contractual or repeatable in nature. Recurring services are not only more resilient, given the nature of the underlying contracts, but also provide visibility for operational planning and for identifying growth areas. As of December 31, 2024, Colliers generated more than 70% of its earnings from recurring revenue sources (see “Reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures”).

Our growth strategy

Our long-standing growth strategy, which we refer to as “The Colliers Way” is the foundation of our success. The key principles of The Colliers Way are described below:

● Enterprising culture, achieved through

o Partnership philosophy (see “Non-controlling interests”)

o Decentralized business model

o Owner’s mindset for all employees

● Internal growth, achieved through

o Participating in massive end markets for our services

o Continuous investment in top talent

o Performance-based compensation programs throughout the Company

● Acquisitions

o Participating in massive end markets conducive to consolidation

o Seeking out synergies and adjacencies with existing businesses

o Disciplined acquisition process, with a 15% ROIC hurdle and a focus on attracting enterprising management teams that will perpetuate our culture

ESG strategy

In 2021, the Company announced its ‘Elevate the Built Environment’ strategic framework designed to embed ESG best practices across the organization. In addition, Colliers committed to setting a science-based target through the Science-Based Targets initiative’s (SBTi) Business Ambition for 1.5°C program as well as achieving Carbon Neutrality for the Company’s own operations by 2030. Goals for the remaining areas of the Company’s framework to address material topics across three core areas identified through strong stakeholder engagement are detailed below:

-16-

Governance structures and working groups have been established to execute on each of these objectives. The Company publishes an annual Global Impact Report outlining its commitments, performance, and progress. This report is released in June each year and can be found on the Company’s website.

In 2023, the Company signed the World Green Building Council’s (WGBC) Net Zero Carbon Buildings Commitment, which calls for emissions from buildings globally to be halved by 2030, and advocates for total decarbonization of buildings in operation no later than 2050.

Seasonality

The Company historically generates peak revenues and earnings in the month of December followed by a low in January and February as a result of the seasonal timing of closings on Capital Markets transactions. Revenues and earnings during the balance of the year are relatively even. The Capital Markets operations comprised 16% of our 2024 annual consolidated revenues. Variations can also be caused by business acquisitions or dispositions which alter the consolidated service mix.

Trademarks

Our trademarks are important for the advertising and brand awareness of our businesses. We take precautions to defend the value of our trademarks by maintaining legal registrations and by litigating against alleged infringements, if necessary.

In certain Real Estate Services markets where we do not have company-owned operations, independent affiliates operate using the “Colliers International” and “Colliers” brands and trademarks under license from us. To ensure brand unity and service quality, all affiliates are subject to brand and performance guidelines that are monitored and enforced by Colliers. We currently have affiliates in 35 countries around the world who together generated approximately $429 million in revenue in 2024, which not included in the Company’s consolidated results. In 2024, our affiliates completed 12,000 sale and lease transactions for a total transaction value of $12 billion.

Employees

We currently have approximately 22,940 employees worldwide as follows:

Segment	Professional staff		Executive, Management & Admin		Total employees
Real Estate Services		10,600		2,680		13,280
Engineering		8,360		770		9,130
Investment Management		340		190		530
Total operations		19,300		3,640		22,940

Non-controlling interests

Creating strong employee engagement and alignment through our “partnership philosophy” (the ownership of equity in the business) is one of our key operating principles.

In many cases, operating management teams of our majority-owned subsidiaries own minority equity stakes in the businesses they operate day-to-day. This structure was designed to maintain control at Colliers while providing significant risks and rewards of equity ownership to management at the operating businesses. In almost all cases, we have the right to “call” management’s shares, usually payable at our option with any combination of Subordinate Voting Shares or cash. We may also be obligated to acquire certain of these non-controlling interests in the event of death, disability or cessation of employment or if the shares are “put” by the holder, subject to annual limitations on these puts imposed by the relevant shareholder agreements. These arrangements provide significant flexibility to us in connection with management succession planning and shareholder liquidity matters.

Dividends and dividend policy

Dividend policy

Following the 2015 Spin-off, our Board of Directors approved a dividend policy for the Company, which was a dividend of $0.08 per Subordinate Voting Share and Multiple Voting Share per annum, payable semi-annually. On May 31, 2016, the Board of Directors increased the semi-annual dividend from $0.04 to $0.05 per Subordinate Voting Share and Multiple Voting Share ($0.10 per annum). On December 7, 2021, the Board of Directors further increased the semi-annual dividend from $0.05 to $0.15 per Subordinate Voting Share and Multiple Voting Share ($0.30 per annum). These dividends are paid in cash after the end of the second and fourth quarters. All dividend payments are subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors. For the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and any similar provincial legislation, all dividends on the Subordinate Voting Shares and Multiple Voting Shares will be eligible dividends unless indicated otherwise.

-19-

The terms of the dividend policy remain, among other things, at the discretion of our Board of Directors. Future dividends, if any, will depend on the results of Colliers’ operations, cash requirements, financial condition, contractual restrictions, business opportunities, provisions of applicable law and other relevant factors. Under the terms of the Company’s debt agreements, the Company is not permitted to pay dividends, whether in cash or in specie, in the circumstances of an event of default thereunder occurring and continuing or an event of default occurring as a consequence thereof. See “Material contracts” below.

Dividend history

The aggregate cash dividends declared per Subordinate Voting Share and Multiple Voting Share in respect of the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 were $0.30, $0.30 and $0.30, respectively.

Capital structure

Share capital

The authorized capital of the Company consists of an unlimited number of preference shares (the “Preference Shares”), issuable in series, an unlimited number of Subordinate Voting Shares and an unlimited number of Multiple Voting Shares.

Colliers may purchase its Subordinate Voting Shares, from time to time, if it believes that the market price of its Subordinate Voting Shares is attractive and that the purchase would be an appropriate use of corporate funds and in the best interests of the Company. The Company did not repurchase any shares in 2024. As of February 13, 2025, there were 49,284,982 Subordinate Voting Shares and 1,325,694 Multiple Voting Shares issued and outstanding.

Subordinate Voting Shares and Multiple Voting Shares

The Subordinate Voting Shares and Multiple Voting Shares rank junior to the Preference Shares or series thereof ranking in priority with respect to the payment of dividends, return of capital and distribution of assets in the event of liquidation, dissolution or any distribution of the assets of Colliers for the purpose of winding-up its affairs. The holders of outstanding Subordinate Voting Shares and Multiple Voting Shares are entitled to receive dividends and other distributions on a share-for-share basis (or, in the discretion of the directors, in a greater amount per Subordinate Voting Share than per Multiple Voting Share) out of the assets legally available therefor at such times and in such amounts as our Board of Directors may determine, but without preference or distinction between the Multiple Voting Shares and the Subordinate Voting Shares. The Subordinate Voting Shares carry one vote per share and the Multiple Voting Shares carry 20 votes per share. The holders of Subordinate Voting Shares and the holders of Multiple Voting Shares are entitled to receive notice of any meeting of shareholders and to attend and vote thereat as a single class on all matters to be voted on by the shareholders, except at meetings where the holders of shares of one class or of a particular series of shares are entitled to vote separately.

The rights, privileges, conditions and restrictions attaching to the Subordinate Voting Shares and the Multiple Voting Shares may be respectively modified if the amendment is authorized by at least two-thirds of the votes cast at a meeting of the holders of Subordinate Voting Shares and the holders of Multiple Voting Shares duly held for that purpose. However, if the holders of Subordinate Voting Shares, as a class, or the holders of Multiple Voting Shares, as a class, are to be affected in a manner different from the other classes of shares, such amendment must, in addition, be authorized by at least two-thirds of the votes cast at a meeting of the holders of the class of shares which is affected differently.

-20-

Each outstanding Multiple Voting Share is convertible at any time, at the option of the holder and without further consideration, into one Subordinate Voting Share. The Subordinate Voting Shares are not convertible into any other class of shares, except in certain circumstances relating to a take-over bid, as described in the section entitled “Certain Rights of Holders of Subordinate Voting Shares” contained in the most recent Management Information Circular filed on Colliers’ SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca. No subdivision, consolidation, reclassification or other change of the Multiple Voting Shares or the Subordinate Voting Shares may be made without, concurrently, having the Multiple Voting Shares or Subordinate Voting Shares, as the case may be, subdivided, consolidated, reclassified or other change made under the same conditions. The Subordinate Voting Shares and Multiple Voting Shares are not redeemable nor retractable but are able to be purchased for cancelation by Colliers in the open market, by private contract or otherwise. Upon the liquidation, dissolution or any distribution of the assets of Colliers for the purpose of winding-up its affairs, the holders of Subordinate Voting Shares and Multiple Voting Shares are entitled to participate equally, on a share-for-share basis, in the remaining property and assets of Colliers available for distribution to such holders.

In accordance with the terms and conditions of a trust agreement entered into by Mr. Hennick and Henset Capital Inc. (the “Multiple Voting Shareholder”) on April 16, 2021 (the “New Trust Agreement”) (see “Material Contracts” below), the Multiple Voting Shares will convert into Subordinate Voting Shares on a one-for-one basis and for no additional consideration or premium upon the earliest to occur of: (a) the date that the sum of the number of Multiple Voting Shares and Subordinate Voting Shares held by Mr. Hennick and the Multiple Voting Shareholder, together with their associates and affiliates, is less than 4,000,000 (subject to adjustment and including ownership of securities convertible into Subordinate Voting Shares); (b) 24 months after the termination of the New MSA (as defined below) as a result of Mr. Hennick’s death, disability, voluntary resignation or the occurrence of certain other specific events set out in the New MSA; and (c) September 1, 2028. Additionally, the New Trust Agreement provides that Mr. Hennick and the Multiple Voting Shareholder will not sell any Multiple Voting Shares at a price greater than the market price of the Subordinate Voting Shares on the date of the agreement to sell such shares unless through the facilities of the NASDAQ or TSX, pursuant to a take-over bid, or similar transaction, where there is a concurrent offer made to, or acquisition from, the holders of all of the Subordinate Voting Shares on terms that are at least as favorable to the holders of Subordinate Voting Shares as those made to Mr. Hennick or the Multiple Voting Shareholder, pursuant to an issuer bid or pursuant to the granting of a permitted security interest.

Preference Shares

The Preference Shares are issuable, from time to time, in one or more series, as determined by our Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors will determine, before the issue of any series of Preference Shares, the designation, preferences, rights, restrictions, conditions, limitations, priorities as to payment of dividends and/or distribution on liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, or prohibitions attaching to such series. The Preference Shares, if issued, will rank prior to the Subordinate Voting Shares and Multiple Voting Shares with respect to the payment of dividends and in the distribution of assets in the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of Colliers or any other distribution of assets of Colliers among its shareholders for the purpose of winding-up its affairs, and may also be given such other preferences over the Subordinate Voting Shares and Multiple Voting Shares as may be determined with respect to the respective series authorized and issued. Except as required by law, the Preference Shares will not carry voting rights.

Certain rights of holders of Subordinate Voting Shares

A summary of the rights attaching to the Subordinate Voting Shares in the event that a take-over bid is made for Multiple Voting Shares is set out in the section entitled “Certain Rights of Holders of Subordinate Voting Shares” contained in our most recent Management Information Circular, which is incorporated by reference herein and is available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca. Reference should be made to our articles for the full text of these provisions.

Option Plan

Colliers has a stock option plan (the “Option Plan”) pursuant to which options to acquire Subordinate Voting Shares may be granted to directors, officers and full-time employees of Colliers or its subsidiaries (other than Mr. Hennick). A summary of the terms of the Option Plan is set out in the section entitled “Executive Compensation – Incentive Award Plans of Colliers – Stock Option Plan” contained in the 2025 Circular, which is incorporated by reference herein and will be available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca. The maximum number of Subordinate Voting Shares subject to grants of options under the Option Plan is limited to 10,600,000, which reflects the cumulative number of options approved by shareholders since the Option Plan’s inception in 2004. Options exercisable for 3,313,050 Subordinate Voting Shares have been granted and are outstanding as at the date hereof; and options which were exercisable for 6,337,250 Subordinate Voting Shares have been exercised or expired as at the date hereof, leaving options yet to be granted which would be exercisable for 949,700 Subordinate Voting Shares.

Reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures

In this AIF, we make reference to certain financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net earnings, adjusted to exclude: (i) income tax; (ii) other income; (iii) interest expense; (iv) loss on disposal of operations; (v) depreciation and amortization, including amortization of mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”); (vi) gains attributable to MSRs; (vii) acquisition-related items (including contingent acquisition consideration fair value adjustments, contingent acquisition consideration-related compensation expense and transaction costs); (viii) restructuring costs and (ix) stock-based compensation expense, including related to the CEO’s performance-based long-term incentive plan (“LTIP”). We use Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our own operating performance and our ability to service debt, as well as an integral part of our planning and reporting systems. Additionally, we use this measure in conjunction with discounted cash flow models to determine the Company’s overall enterprise valuation and to evaluate acquisition targets. We present Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure because we believe such measure is useful to investors as a reasonable indicator of operating performance because of the low capital intensity of the Company’s service operations. We believe this measure is a financial metric used by many investors to compare companies, especially in the services industry. This measure is not a recognized measure of financial performance of the consolidated Company under GAAP in the United States, and should not be considered as a substitute for operating earnings, net earnings or cash flow from operating activities, as determined in accordance with GAAP. Our method of calculating Adjusted EBITDA may differ from other issuers and accordingly, this measure may not be comparable to measures used by other issuers. A reconciliation of net earnings to Adjusted EBITDA appears below

Stock-based compensation expense		46,041			27,087
Adjusted EBITDA	$	644,245		$	594,993

Adjusted EPS is defined as diluted net earnings per share adjusted for the effect, after income tax, of: (i) the non-controlling interest redemption increment; (ii) loss on disposal of operations; (iii) amortization expense related to intangible assets recognized in connection with acquisitions and MSRs; (iv) gains attributable to MSRs; (v) acquisition-related items; (vi) restructuring costs and (vii) stock-based compensation expense, including related to the CEO’s LTIP. We believe this measure is useful to investors because it provides a supplemental way to understand the underlying operating performance of the Company and enhances the comparability of operating results from period to period. Adjusted EPS is not a recognized measure of financial performance under GAAP, and should not be considered as a substitute for diluted net earnings per share from continuing operations, as determined in accordance with GAAP. Our method of calculating this non-GAAP measure may differ from other issuers and, accordingly, this measure may not be comparable to measures used by other issuers. A reconciliation of net earnings to adjusted net earnings and of diluted net earnings per share to adjusted EPS appears below

Similar to GAAP diluted EPS, Adjusted EPS is calculated using the “if-converted” method of calculating earnings per share in relation to the Convertible Notes, which were fully converted or redeemed by June 1, 2023. As such, the interest (net of tax) on the Convertible Notes is added to the numerator and the additional shares issuable on conversion of the Convertible Notes are added to the denominator of the earnings per share calculation to determine if an assumed conversion is more dilutive than no assumption of conversion. The “if-converted” method is used if the impact of the assumed conversion is dilutive. The “if-converted” method is dilutive for the Adjusted EPS calculation for all periods where the Convertible Notes were outstanding.

Adjusted EPS	$	5.75		$	5.35

⁽¹⁾ Amounts shown reflect the “if-converted” method’s dilutive impact on the adjusted EPS calculation

We believe that the presentation of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted earnings per share, which are non-GAAP financial measures, provides important supplemental information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. We use these non-GAAP financial measures when evaluating operating performance because we believe that the inclusion or exclusion of the items described above, for which the amounts are non-cash or non-recurring in nature, provides a supplemental measure of our operating results that facilitates comparability of our operating performance from period to period, against our business model objectives, and against other companies in our industry. We have chosen to provide this information to investors so they can analyze our operating results in the same way that management does and use this information in their assessment of our core business and the valuation of the Company. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted earnings per share are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, and should be considered supplemental to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the costs or benefits associated with the operations of our business as determined in accordance with GAAP. As a result, investors should not consider these measures in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.

Adjusted EBITDA from recurring revenue percentage is computed on a trailing twelve-month basis and represents the proportion of Adjusted EBITDA that is derived from Engineering, Outsourcing and Investment Management service lines. All these service lines represent medium to long-term duration revenue streams that are either contractual or repeatable in nature. Adjusted EBITDA for this purpose is calculated in the same manner as for our debt agreement covenant calculation purposes, incorporating the expected full year impact of business acquisitions and dispositions.

Free cash flow is defined as net cash flow from operating activities plus contingent acquisition consideration paid, less purchases of fixed assets, plus cash collections on AR Facility deferred purchase price less distributions to non-controlling interests. We use free cash flow as a measure to evaluate and monitor operating performance as well as our ability to service debt, fund acquisitions and pay dividends to shareholders. We present free cash flow as a supplemental measure because we believe this measure is a financial metric used by many investors to compare valuation and liquidity measures across companies, especially in the services industry. This measure is not a recognized measure of financial performance under GAAP in the United States, and should not be considered as a substitute for operating earnings, net earnings or cash flow from operating activities, as determined in accordance with GAAP. Our method of calculating free cash flow may differ from other issuers and accordingly, this measure may not be comparable to measures used by other issuers. A reconciliation of net cash flow from operating activities to free cash flow appears below.

Free cash flow	$	330,244		$	167,165

We use the term assets under management (“AUM”) as a measure of the scale of our Investment Management operations. AUM is defined as the gross market value of operating assets and the projected gross cost of development assets of the funds, partnerships and accounts to which we provide management and advisory services, including capital that such funds, partnerships and accounts have the right to call from investors pursuant to capital commitments. Our definition of AUM may differ from those used by other issuers and as such may not be directly comparable to similar measures used by other issuers.

We use the term fee paying assets under management (“FPAUM”) to represent only the AUM on which the Company is entitled to receive management fees. We believe this measure is useful in providing additional insight into the capital base upon which the Company earns management fees. Our definition of FPAUM may differ from those used by other issuers and as such may not be directly comparable to similar measures used by other issuers.

Risk factors

Readers should carefully consider the following risks, as well as the other information contained in this AIF and our management’s discussion and analysis for the year ended December 31, 2024. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business could be materially harmed. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties, including those of which we are currently unaware or we currently deem immaterial, may also adversely affect our business.

Risks relating to our business

Economic conditions, especially as they relate to interest rates, credit conditions and business spending

During periods of rising interest rates, economic, fiscal or political uncertainty, market volatility, disruption to global capital or credit markets our operations may be negatively affected. Tighter credit conditions impact commercial real estate transaction volumes, which may materially reduce demand for our Capital Markets services. Continued uncertainty in the market can also impact Leasing volumes, with occupiers opting either for smaller than optimal space or shorter lease terms. Moreover, lower business spending directly impacts our Outsourcing & Advisory revenues, with some services potentially being conducted in-house. These factors could also lead to payment delays or defaults from customers, which negatively impacts our operating revenues, profitability and cash flow.

Commercial real estate property values, vacancy rates and general conditions of financial liquidity for real estate transactions

Property values have a direct impact on the commissions earned on sales transactions. Vacancy rates affect market lease rates and the duration of lease commitments, which are the basis of leasing commissions earned. Both property values and vacancy rates influence the number of sales and leasing transactions that occur, which may materially impact our revenues, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

-37-

Economic deterioration impacting our ability to recover goodwill and other intangible assets

Expectations of future earnings drive the recoverability of goodwill and other intangible assets, which are tested, at least, on an annual basis. A future deterioration of operating performance may necessitate non-cash impairment charges.

As a result of the changes in the current economic environment, geopolitical uncertainty, inflation and rising interest rates, management has performed asset impairment testing across our reporting units. Management has concluded that no impairment loss is required to be recognized as of December 31, 2024. The testing considered a range of scenarios, but is subject to significant estimation uncertainty given the factors noted above. If there are future adverse developments, impairment losses may be required to be recognized.

The effects of changes in foreign exchange rates in relation to the US dollar on our Euro, Canadian dollar, Australian dollar and UK pound sterling denominated revenues and expenses

We generate approximately 47% of our revenues outside the United States. Consequently, our consolidated results are impacted by fluctuations in the relative strength of the US dollar against foreign currencies, including the Euro, Canadian dollar, Australian dollar and UK pound sterling.

Any imposed tariffs can materially impact foreign exchange rates, which are closely tied to international trade flows. Moreover, political events, including elections and referenda, among other things, could also impact foreign exchange rates in relation to the US dollar. In addition, we expect to acquire additional international operations in the future. As a consequence, foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations may be material in the future.

Competition, economic conditions, and reputational risks may hamper our ability to fundraise in Investment Management

Our ability to raise capital is dependent on multiple factors, including fund performance, macroeconomic environment, and fundraising by our competitors. In certain cases, investors may decrease allocations to the asset classes we invest in, either to maintain portfolio allocations; to make a macro shift away from the asset class; or to invest in our competitors’ funds. Continued competition in the industry may also impact or ability to generate management fees and carried interest at historical levels.

Moreover, in our Investment Management operations, our reputation could be negatively impacted by various factors including poor performance; actual, potential or perceived conflicts of interest; misconduct by employees; rumors; or underperformance in our investments or strategies relative to benchmark, which may have significant impact on our fundraising initiatives.

Failure to meet threshold returns in our long-dated funds

There is no certainty that we will be able to meet contractually defined threshold returns, which are highly dependent on macroeconomic conditions and a fund’s ability to identify suitable investment opportunities. Failure to generate threshold returns could lead to lower, or the absence of, carried interest revenues, related profitability and also adversely impact our future fundraising efforts.

Seeding new funds require temporary investments which may impact liquidity

We periodically enter into arrangements to temporarily own assets on behalf of a new fund with the expectation that the assets will be subsequently transferred to the fund. However, in certain cases, we may be unable to transfer the assets to the fund and may be required to keep ownership of the assets for longer than expected. This could impact our available liquidity and potential to fund other internal or acquisition growth initiatives. A general lack of liquidity on our balance sheet could inhibit us from seeding new funds and thus limit growth in our Investment Management operations.

-38-

A decline in our ability to fundraise, or an increase in redemptions from our perpetual funds and separately managed accounts could adversely impact our Investment Management operations

The success of our Investment Management operations is dependent on our ability to fundraise. Failure to do so could severely constrain growth in our assets under management, and consequently profitability. Higher than expected redemption requests could also adversely impact management fees in our perpetual funds and separately managed accounts and may also create reputational risks which could impact subsequent fundraising efforts.

A decline in performance in our Investment Management operations

The revenue, net earnings and cash flow generated by our Investment Management operations may fluctuate, primarily due to the changes in management fees as a result of market movements from one period to another in our perpetual funds. In the event that any of the funds that we manage were to perform poorly, our revenue, net earnings and cash flow could be materially impacted. Investors and potential investors in our funds continually assess our performance, and our ability to raise capital for existing and future funds and maintaining our current fee structure will depend on our continued satisfactory performance.

Risks associated with Colliers Mortgage operations

Our Colliers Mortgage operations have certain key risk factors unique to the services provided, including:

● a change in or loss of our relationship with US government agencies could significantly impact our ability to originate mortgage loans;

● defaults by borrowers on loans originated under the Fannie Mae Delegated Underwriting and Servicing Program could materially affect our profitability as we are subject to sharing up to one-third of incurred losses;

● a decline in origination volumes or termination of our current servicing agreements could significantly impact profitability; and

● termination or changes to our warehouse credit facilities could lead to unfavourable replacement terms and may significantly impact our ability to originate new loans.

Rising inflation could materially impact our profitability

In our Outsourcing & Advisory and Investment Management operations, we provide contractual services to clients, typically for multi-year durations. The contracts typically include price escalation for inflation. However, should inflation rise more than anticipated, it could severely impact our ability to recover certain cost from our clients. Moreover, compensation represents our largest expense. Rising wage costs could impact not only our profitability but also our ability to recruit and retain talent.

A decline in our ability to generate cash from our businesses to fund future acquisitions and meet our debt obligations

We rely on our businesses to generate the necessary cash to service our financial obligations. As at December 31, 2024, we have $1.50 billion of debt outstanding $1.32 billion net of cash that will be required to be refinanced or repaid over the next eight years. To date, we have met all of our debt obligations. However, a decline in business performance may impact our ability to service outstanding debt, and/or raise capital at favourable terms.

Competition in the markets served by the Company

We operate in highly competitive markets. Changes in the source and intensity of competition in the markets served by us impact the demand for our services and may result in additional pricing pressures. The relatively low capital cost of entry to certain of our businesses has led to strong competitive markets, including regional and local owner-operated companies. Regional and local competitors operating in a limited geographic area may have lower labour, benefits and overhead costs. The principal methods of competition in our businesses include name recognition, quality and speed of service, pricing, customer satisfaction and reputation. No assurance can be given that we will be able to compete successfully against current or future competitors and that the competitive pressures that we face will not result in reduced market share or negatively impact our financial performance.

-39-

A decline in our ability to attract, recruit and retain talent

Our ability to attract and recruit talent is an important determinant of revenue growth. While the Company makes significant efforts in attracting, recruiting and mobilizing talent, it is possible that we are unable to hire sufficiently skilled investment professional, engineers, property managers, and real estate sales/leasing advisors, which can impact our ability to sustain or increase our internal revenue growth.

Labour shortages or increases in wage and benefit costs

As a services company, our primary asset is the human capital that comprises our workforce to generate revenues. A shortage, or increase in wage and benefit costs, of this human capital could reduce our revenues and profitability.

Reliance on subcontractors

For certain of our services, we rely on external subcontractors for timely delivery and execution. Failure to manage subcontractor performance may result in higher costs and potential loss of clients.

The effects of changes in interest rates on our cost of borrowing

The Company uses its Revolving Credit Facility and Accounts Receivable Facility, which are at variable interest rates (except for borrowings swapped to fixed), as primary sources of funding for its operations, acquisitions and other general proceeds. As a result, changes in base rates, such as SOFR, affect our interest expense as these base rates fluctuate.

A decline in our performance impacting our continued compliance with the financial covenants under our debt agreements, or our ability to negotiate a waiver of certain covenants with our lenders

A decline in our earnings performance may cause our financial leverage to increase, which results in a higher applicable margin on our Revolving Credit Facility, thereby increasing our interest costs. A decline in earnings performance may also cause us to be non-compliant with certain financial covenants, leading to a potential default on our debt obligations.

Unexpected increases in operating costs, such as insurance, workers’ compensation, and health care

As a services company, the costs of providing services to our customers can fluctuate. Certain operating costs, such as insurance, workers’ compensation and health care are based on market rates which we cannot control and, absent an offsetting price increase in our services, have a direct impact on our operating margins.

Changes in the frequency or severity of insurance incidents relative to our historical experience

Adverse changes in claims experience could increase our insurance costs and/or increase the risk of being unable to renew insurance coverage at our operations. In each of our operating segments, we effectively self-insure certain risks, with a layer of third-party insurance for catastrophic claims. An increase in the frequency or severity of claims in these areas could materially affect our financial position and results of operations. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain insurance coverage on favourable economic terms in the future.

A decline in the availability of suitable acquisition targets

Although the diversified professional services market remains highly fragmented, ongoing consolidation activity may limit our ability to find suitable acquisition targets. It is possible that irrational buyer behavior in the market could drive valuations higher than before, which can significantly impact our ability to close transactions on mutually favorable terms.

A decline in our ability to successfully integrate acquired operations

Failure to successfully integrate acquisitions into our existing operations can be disruptive to our business and may have a material adverse impact on our operating results. Challenges in integrating operations and information technology systems acquired from other companies may also limit our ability to achieve anticipated synergies. We may experience difficulties in the assimilation of different cultures and practices, integration of systems, including accounting systems, as well as in maintaining controls, including internal control over financial reporting required by applicable securities laws and related procedures and policies. It is possible that the integration process could result in a loss of key management personnel and clients, which can severely impact profitability. In addition, we may also expose ourselves to unforeseen liabilities which may have not been identified during the due diligence process.

Changes in laws, regulations and government policies at the federal, state/provincial or local level that may adversely impact our businesses

As a multinational company, changes in laws and regulation at the different jurisdictional levels can have a direct effect on our operations. It is difficult to predict the future impact of a change in legislative and regulatory requirements affecting our businesses. The laws and regulations applicable to our businesses will likely change in the future and affect our operations and financial performance. In addition, if we were to fail to comply with any applicable law or regulation, we could be subject to substantial fines or damages, be involved in litigation, suffer losses to our reputation and suffer the loss of licenses or penalties that may affect how our business is operated, which, in turn, would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Risks arising from any regulatory review and litigation

The commencement of any formal regulatory reviews or investigations could result in the diversion of significant management attention and resources and, if securities or other regulators determine that a violation of securities or other laws may have occurred, or has occurred, the Company or its officers and directors may receive notices regarding potential enforcement action or prosecution and could be subject to civil or criminal penalties or other remedies. For example, the Company or its officers could be required to pay substantial damages, fines or other penalties, the regulators could seek an injunction against the Company or seek to ban an officer or director of the Company from acting as such, any of which actions would have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Risks associated with intellectual property and other proprietary rights that are material to our business

Our ability to compete effectively depends in part on our rights to service marks, trademarks, trade names and other intellectual property rights we own or license (including “Colliers”). We have not sought to register every one of our marks in every country in which they are used. Furthermore, because of the differences in foreign trademark, patent and other intellectual property or proprietary rights laws, we may not receive the same protection in other countries as we would in Canada or the United States. If we are unable to protect our proprietary information and brand names, we could suffer a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Litigation may be necessary to enforce our intellectual property rights and protect our proprietary information, or to defend against claims by third parties that our products or services infringe their intellectual property rights. Any litigation or claims brought by or against us could result in substantial costs and diversion of our resources. A successful claim of trademark, patent or other intellectual property infringement against us, or any other successful challenge to the use of our intellectual property, could subject us to damages or prevent us from providing certain services under our recognized brand names, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Reputational risk

The Company operates in multiple global jurisdictions and is subject to various local laws and regulations. We train employees to comply with anti-bribery and workplace violence and harassment laws along with clear company-wide guidelines, internal controls and policies in place to prohibit any non-compliant behaviours. However, despite our best efforts, it is possible that violations may occur, either through our own employees or through our external partners/subcontractors, which may expose the Company to potential litigation and lawsuits and significantly harm our reputation. Reputational losses may also arise from any negative publicity, failure to meet client expectations and negative market perception.

Disruptions or security failures in our information technology systems

Our information technology systems facilitate our ability to monitor, operate and control our operations. While we have disaster recovery plans in place, any disruption in these plans or the failure of our information technology systems to operate as expected could, depending on the magnitude of the problem, adversely affect our operating results by limiting, among other things, our capacity to monitor, operate and control our operations effectively. In addition, because our systems contain information about individuals and businesses, our failure to maintain the security of the data we hold, whether the result of our own error or the malfeasance or errors of others, could harm our reputation or give rise to legal liabilities relating to violations of privacy laws or otherwise, which may lead to lower revenues, increased costs and other material adverse effects on our results of operations.

-41-

Cybersecurity risks

Cybersecurity incidents, in the form of malware, computer viruses, cyber threats, malfeasance and other types of data breaches, continue to rise. With our employees relying heavily on our information systems, some managed by third parties, we make significant efforts to maintain the security of our information systems as well as to monitor for cybersecurity threats. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to prevent all cybersecurity incidents, which could have a material adverse impact on our operations. This could be in the form of lost revenues, unauthorized access to client and employee data, damage to our reputation, significant corrective costs and as well as material legal liabilities.

Exposure to global tax laws

Given our global footprint, we are subject to income tax laws in various jurisdictions. While we continuously manage and provision for income tax, any changes in effective tax rates within local jurisdictions can have a material impact on our net earnings.

Political conditions or events, including escalation of hostilities, outbreak of war, elections, referenda, changes to international trade and immigration policies, terrorism, disruption of supply chains (particularly energy) and the impact thereof on our business

Political events, uncertainties and situations can have an effect on our Company because of our global operations. Events could occur that may hamper our ability to manage operations, repatriate cash and implement Colliers’ policies in certain regions, particularly in developing countries that have had a recent history of political and economic instability.

Risks relating to our shares

Volatility of market price of the Subordinate Voting Shares

The market price of the Subordinate Voting Shares may be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control, including the following:

• actual or anticipated fluctuations in our annual or quarterly results of operations;

• changes in estimates of future results of operations by us or by equity research analysts;

• changes in the economic performance or market valuations of other companies that investors deem comparable to us;

• the addition or departure of our executive officers or other key personnel;

• litigation or regulatory action against us;

• issuances or expected issuances of additional Subordinate Voting Shares or other forms of our securities;

• changes in applicable laws and regulations, including tax laws, or changes in the manner in which those laws are applied;

• significant acquisitions or business combinations, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments by or involving us or our competitors; and

• news reports relating to the conditions in the economy in general and/or trends, concerns or competitive developments, regulatory changes and other related issues in our industry.

The volatility may affect the ability of holders of Subordinate Voting Shares to sell the Subordinate Voting Shares at an advantageous price.

-42-

Financial markets have, at times, experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have particularly affected the market prices of securities of companies and that have, in many cases, been unrelated to the operating performance, underlying asset values or prospects of such companies. Accordingly, the market price of the Subordinate Voting Shares may decline even if our operating results, underlying asset values or prospects have not changed. Additionally, these factors, as well as other related factors, may cause decreases in asset values that are deemed to be other than temporary, which may result in impairment losses. As well, certain institutional investors may base their investment decisions on consideration of our environmental, governance and social practices and performance against such institutions’ respective investment guidelines and criteria, and failure to meet such criteria may result in a limited or no investment in the Subordinate Voting Shares by those institutions, which could adversely affect the trading price of the Subordinate Voting Shares. There can be no assurance that fluctuations in price and volume will not occur. If such increased levels of volatility and market turmoil occur, our operations could be adversely impacted and the trading price of the Subordinate Voting Shares may be adversely affected.

The impact of our dual class share structure

As agreed in the New Trust Agreement, the Multiple Voting Shares shall convert on a one-for-one basis into Subordinate Voting Shares upon the occurrence of certain specified events and in any event by not later than September 1, 2028. However, the Multiple Voting Shares shall remain issued and outstanding until any such conversion event. Our Multiple Voting Shares have twenty votes per share and our Subordinate Voting Shares have one vote per share. As at February 13, 2025, Mr. Hennick beneficially owns and controls all of the Multiple Voting Shares, and holds approximately 41.9% of the voting power of all of our issued and outstanding Subordinate Voting Shares and Multiple Voting Shares and therefore has significant influence over our management and affairs and over all matters requiring shareholder approval, including the election of directors and significant corporate transactions. As a result, the holder of Multiple Voting Shares has the ability to influence many matters affecting us and actions may be taken that the holders of the Subordinate Voting Shares may not view as beneficial. The market price of the Subordinate Voting Shares could be adversely affected due to the significant influence and voting power of the holder of Multiple Voting Shares. Additionally, the significant voting interest of the holder of Multiple Voting Shares may discourage transactions involving a change of control, including transactions in which an investor, as a holder of the Subordinate Voting Shares, might otherwise receive a premium for the Subordinate Voting Shares over the then-current market price, or discourage competing proposals if a going private transaction is proposed by the holder of Multiple Voting Shares.

A decline in our performance impacting our ability to pay dividends on our shares

Although we intend to make cash dividends to shareholders in accordance with our existing dividend policy, these dividends are not assured. Future dividends on the Subordinate Voting Shares and Multiple Voting Shares will depend on our results of operations, financial condition, capital requirements, general business conditions and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant. Additionally, under the Company’s debt agreements, the Company is not permitted to pay dividends, whether in cash or in specie, in the circumstances of an event of default thereunder occurring and continuing or an event of default occurring as a consequence thereof. The market value of the Subordinate Voting Shares and Multiple Voting Shares may deteriorate if we are unable to pay dividends pursuant to our existing dividend policy in the future.

Potential future dilution to the holders of the Subordinate Voting Shares

We are authorized to issue an unlimited number of Subordinate Voting Shares for consideration and terms and conditions as established by our board of directors, in many cases, without any requirement for explicit shareholder approval, and shareholders have no pre-emptive rights in connection with such further issuances. We may issue additional Subordinate Voting Shares in share offerings (including through the sale of securities convertible into or exchangeable for Subordinate Voting Shares) and pursuant to the exercise of options under our Option Plan. We cannot predict the size of future issuances of Subordinate Voting Shares or the effect that future issuances and sales of Subordinate Voting Shares will have on the market price of the Subordinate Voting Shares. Issuances of a substantial number of additional Subordinate Voting Shares, or the perception that such issuances could occur, may adversely affect prevailing market prices for the Subordinate Voting Shares. With any additional issuance of Subordinate Voting Shares, holders of Subordinate Voting Shares will suffer dilution and we may experience dilution in our earnings per share.

-43-

The existence of our right to issue blank cheque preference shares

The Company has the right to issue so-called “blank cheque” preference shares which may affect the voting and liquidation rights of holders of Subordinate Voting Shares and Multiple Voting Shares. The Company’s Board of Directors is authorized, without any further shareholder approval, to issue one or more additional series of preference shares in an unlimited number and to set the rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attached thereto.

Risks related to our qualification as a foreign private issuer

We are a “foreign private issuer”, as such term is defined in Rule 405 under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and are permitted, under a multijurisdictional disclosure system adopted by the United States and Canada, to prepare our disclosure documents filed under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“US Exchange Act”), in accordance with Canadian disclosure requirements. Under the US Exchange Act, we are subject to reporting obligations that, in certain respects, are less detailed and less frequent than those of US domestic reporting companies. As a result, we do not file the same reports that a US domestic issuer would file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), although we are required to file or furnish to the SEC the continuous disclosure documents that we are required to file in Canada under Canadian securities laws. In addition, our officers, directors, and principal shareholders are exempt from the reporting and short swing profit liability provisions of Section 16 of the US Exchange Act. Therefore, our shareholders may not know on a timely basis when our officers, directors and principal shareholders purchase or sell shares, as the reporting deadlines under the corresponding Canadian insider reporting requirements are generally longer.

As a foreign private issuer, we are exempt from the rules and regulations under the US Exchange Act related to the furnishing and content of proxy statements. We are also exempt from Regulation FD, which prohibits issuers from making selective disclosures of material non-public information. While we will comply with the corresponding requirements relating to proxy statements and disclosure of material non-public information under Canadian securities laws, these requirements differ from those under the US Exchange Act and Regulation FD, and shareholders should not expect to receive the same information at the same time as such information is provided by US domestic companies.

In addition, as a foreign private issuer, we have the option to follow certain Canadian corporate governance practices, except to the extent that such laws would be contrary to US securities laws, and provided that we disclose the requirements we are not following and describe the Canadian practices we follow instead. We currently rely on this exemption with respect to requirements regarding the quorum for any meeting of our shareholders, the requirement to obtain shareholder approval prior to an issuance of securities in certain circumstances and certain responsibilities of the Executive Compensation Committee of our board of directors. We may in the future elect to follow home country practices in Canada with regard to other matters. As a result, our shareholders may not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of US domestic companies that are subject to all corporate governance requirements.

Risks relating to ESG

Risks related to global climate change

As global climate change policy continues to evolve and attract considerable public, scientific and regulatory attention, it could have both tangible and intangible impact on our operations, employees and clients. Moreover, we may be subject to litigation on certain properties, projects or assets that we manage that have a direct impact on the environment from governments, shareholders and environmental activists. A loss of management fee revenues as well as any litigation could materially impact our profitability, reputation as well as financial condition.

Changes in client preferences and requirements for low-carbon and climate-resilient properties

As climate policy continues to evolve and demand for low-carbon and climate-resilient properties increases, it may impact our operations with respect to deal sourcing as well as product availability. Should the company be unable to meet client needs, it may also lead to deterioration of relationship with the client and a loss of revenue.

Reputational risk should our efforts to mitigate climate change not keep pace with peers and societal expectations

We are making dedicated efforts towards reducing our carbon footprint, promoting social initiatives and implementing strong governance policies. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to achieve all of our targets. In the unlikely event of the Company failing to meet its target or falling short of societal expectations, there could be a material adverse impact on our operations. This could be in the form of lost revenues, damage to our reputation, decreased attractiveness to investors, as well as significant operating costs.

Risks related to measurement and compliance

We need to invest in various technologies to accurately manage and comply with the environmental regulatory policies of the local and global jurisdictions. In addition, in certain cases, we may purchase carbon offsets or could be exposed to carbon tax on our owned operations. Compliance costs, in some regions, could also force us to discontinue managing certain properties or exit the business altogether. This could lead to a significant deterioration in profitability.

Physical and transition risks related to climate-related changes

Rapid changes in client preferences and requirements for low-carbon and climate-resilient properties, ahead of our ability to deliver related solutions, could lead to customer attrition and consequently lower revenues and profitability. Our operating costs could also increase marginally with increasing carbon pricing, should we fail to transition our operations to lower-carbon energy sources in time. Lastly, our invested assets in our Investment Management business and the properties we manage are susceptible to physical damages due to climate-related changes.

Interest of management and others in material transactions

Except as described below or elsewhere in this AIF, no director of Colliers, executive officer of Colliers, or person or company that beneficially owns, or controls or directs more than 10% of any class or series of voting securities of Colliers, or any associate or affiliate of any of the foregoing persons, has or has had any material interest in any transaction within the last three years, or during the current year, that has materially affected or is reasonably expected to materially affect Colliers or any of its subsidiaries.

On April 16, 2021, the Company completed a transaction with Mr. Hennick and certain related entities pursuant to which: (a) the LTIA that had been previously granted to Mr. Hennick was terminated, for effective consideration of $96.2 million and the issuance of 3,572,858 Subordinate Voting Shares (such consideration having been determined with reference to the formula set out in the previously issued LTIA); (b) Mr. Hennick and certain related entities entered into the New MSA with respect to the provision of Mr. Hennick’s services as Chief Executive Officer and/or Executive Chairman of the Company, as his option; and (c) the New Trust Agreement was entered into, resulting in a clear timeline for the orderly elimination of the Subordinate Voting Shares and the Company’s dual class share structure, without payment of any premium. Full details regarding this transaction are set out in the Management Information Circular of the Company dated March 9, 2021, which is available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

Material contracts

The only contracts that can reasonably be regarded as material to us, other than contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business, are as follows:

(a) Revolving Credit Facility: On November 29, 2024, the Company extended the Revolving Credit Facility for a five-year term maturing in November 2029 (previously May 2027) with an expanded capacity of $2.25 billion (previously $1.75 billion). The Revolving Credit Facility is sustainability-linked and includes pricing adjustments tied to achievements of performance targets over time aligned with Colliers’ Elevate the Built Environment framework. The Revolving Credit Facility bears interest at 1.125% to 2.50% over floating reference rates, depending on certain leverage ratios, and requires that we pay a commitment fee of 0.11% to 0.35% of the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility, depending on certain leverage ratios. The credit agreement relating to the Revolving Credit Facility (together with all applicable amendments) is available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.   The Company uses certain financial instruments from time to time in order to hedge against increases in market interest rates and its impact on interest expense, as described in the Risks Factors section. Company currently has interest rate swaps to convert floating reference rates on $600 million of US dollar borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility to fixed interest rates. Each of these swaps has a maturity date of May 27, 2027.

(b) Senior Notes due 2028: We issued €210 million of senior unsecured notes (the “Senior Notes due 2028”) pursuant to a note purchase agreement dated May 17, 2018 (the “2028 Note Agreement”), with a ten-year term ending May 30, 2028 and a fixed interest rate of 2.23%, which Senior Notes were placed privately and rank equally with the Revolving Credit Facility in terms of seniority. The proceeds of this issuance were drawn on May 30, 2018, and we used the net proceeds to reduce outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and for general corporate purposes. We may prepay the Senior Notes due 2028 at any time in an amount not less than 5% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes then outstanding, subject to payment of an applicable make-whole amount and other amounts. The financial covenants contained in the 2028 Note Agreement require that we maintain a net debt to consolidated EBITDA ratio of not more than 3.5, an interest coverage ratio of greater than 2.0 and to ensure that our priority debt does not at any time exceed 7.5% of our consolidated total assets. To date, we have complied with the foregoing covenants. All outstanding amounts under the Senior Notes must be repaid by the earlier of May 30, 2028 and the occurrence of an event of default under the Note Agreement. We are prohibited under the Note Agreement from undertaking certain acquisitions and dispositions, and incurring certain indebtedness and encumbrances, without prior approval of the holders of the Senior Notes. Since entering into the 2028 Note Agreement, certain amendments and/or waivers have been entered into in order to address points similar to those addressed by way of amendments to the Revolving Credit Facility as noted above. The Note Agreement is available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

-46-

(c) Senior Notes due 2031: On July 28, 2021 the Company entered into a note purchase agreement to issue US dollar and Euro fixed rate senior unsecured notes (the “Senior Notes due 2031”), consisting of US$150 million of 3.02% Notes due 2031 and €125 million of 1.52% Notes due 2031. The Senior Notes due 2031 were placed privately and rank equally with the Revolving Credit Facility and Senior Notes due 2028. The proceeds of the Senior Notes due 2031 were drawn on October 7, 2021. The Company used the proceeds for general corporate purposes and to repay all outstanding borrowings under its Revolving Credit Facility. We may prepay the Senior Notes at any time in an amount not less than 5% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes then outstanding, subject to payment of an applicable make-whole amount and other amounts. The financial covenants contained require that we maintain a net debt to consolidated EBITDA ratio of not more than 3.5, an interest coverage ratio of greater than 2.0 and to ensure that our priority debt does not at any time exceed 7.5% of our consolidated total assets. The Note Agreement is available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

(d) AR Facility: On April 12, 2019, the Company established a structured accounts receivable facility (the “AR Facility”). On September 28, 2023, the Company expanded the AR Facility to $200 million, a cumulative increase of $75 million relative to its initial $125 million size in 2019. On June 26, 2024, the Company extended the maturity date to December 29, 2025. Under the AR Facility, certain of the Company’s subsidiaries continuously sell trade accounts receivable and contract assets (the “Receivables”) to wholly owned special purpose entities at fair market value. The special purpose entities then sell 100% of the Receivables to a third-party financial institution. Although the special purpose entities are wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company, they are separate legal entities with their own separate creditors who will be entitled, upon their liquidation, to be satisfied out of their assets prior to any assets or value in such special purpose entities becoming available to their equity holders and their assets are not available to pay other creditors of the Company. The agreements relating to the AR Facility are available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

(e) Agreements Relating to Settlement of Long Term Incentive Arrangement with CEO: On April 16, 2021, after receiving approval from 95% of disinterested shareholders, the Company completed the previously announced transaction (the “Transaction”) to settle previously issued LTIA granted to an entity related to Mr. Hennick. The Transaction also established a timeline for the orderly elimination of Colliers’ dual class voting structure by no later than September 1, 2028. As described under “Interest of management and others in material transactions” above, the transaction resulted in the payment of $96.2 million to certain entities related to Mr. Hennick, along with the issuance of 3,572,858 Subordinate Voting Shares. Additionally, the Company entered into a new management services agreement (the “New MSA”) with Mr. Hennick and an entity related thereto with respect to the continued provision of Mr. Hennick’s services as Chief Executive Officer and/or Executive Chairman of the Company, at his option. The particulars of the New MSA are set out in the section entitled “Executive Compensation – Management Contract” contained in the 2024 Circular, which section is incorporated herein by reference. The definitive documentation relating to this transaction, including a new trust agreement relating to the Multiple Voting Shares, registration rights agreement and transaction agreement are available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

Conflicts of interest

Certain directors and officers of the Company are engaged in and will continue to engage in activities outside the Company, and as a result, certain directors and officers of the Company may become subject to conflicts of interest. The Business Corporations Act (Ontario) provides that in the event that a director or officer has an interest in a contract or proposed contract or agreement, the director or officer shall disclose his or her interest in such contract or agreement and, in the case of directors, shall refrain from voting on any matter in respect of such contract or agreement unless otherwise provided under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario).

Audit & Risk Committee

The Audit & Risk Committee (the “ARC”) is comprised of three members who are each “independent” and “financially literate” as required by Multilateral Instrument 52-110 Audit Committees (the “Audit Committee Rule”). The ARC has the resources and the authority to discharge its responsibilities, including the authority to engage, at the expense of Colliers, outside consultants, independent legal counsel and other advisors as it determines necessary to carry out its duties, without seeking approval our Board of Directors or management. The ARC also has the authority to conduct any investigation necessary and appropriate to fulfilling its responsibilities and has direct access and authority to communicate directly with the external auditors, legal counsel and officers and employees of Colliers. The ARC meets six times annually, or more frequently as circumstances dictate.

The ARC reviews the annual and interim financial statements intended for circulation among shareholders and reports upon these to the Board prior to their approval by our Board of Directors. The ARC is also responsible for reviewing the integrity of Colliers’ financial reporting process, both internal and external, and any major issues as to the adequacy of the internal controls and any special audit procedures adopted in light of any material control deficiencies. The ARC communicates directly with Colliers’ external auditors in order to discuss audit and related matters whenever appropriate. In addition, our Board of Directors may refer to the ARC such matters and questions relating to the financial position and operations of Colliers and its subsidiaries. All reports made to Colliers’ ethics hotline are reviewed by the Chair of the ARC and then by the entire ARC at its next meeting. Our Board of Directors has adopted an ARC mandate, a copy of which is annexed as Exhibit “A” to this AIF.

The education and related experience of each of the members of the ARC that is relevant to the performance by such members of their responsibilities on such committee is described below.

The Audit Committee Rule requires the Company to disclose whether its ARC has adopted specific policies and procedures for the engagement of non-audit services and to prepare a summary of these policies and procedures. The mandate of the ARC provides that it is such committee’s responsibility to: (a) approve the appointment and, when circumstances warrant, discharge of the external auditor and monitor its qualifications, performance and independence; (b) approve and oversee the disclosure of all audit services provided by the external auditor to the Company or any of its subsidiaries, determining which non-audit services the external auditor are prohibited from providing and, exceptionally, pre-approve and oversee the disclosure of permitted non-audit services to be performed by the external auditor, in accordance with applicable laws and regulations; and (c) approve the basis and amount of the external auditor’s fees and other significant compensation. The ARC has adopted a pre-approval policy pursuant to which the Company may not engage the Company’s external auditor to carry out certain non-audit services that are deemed inconsistent with the independence of auditors under US and Canadian applicable laws. The ARC must pre-approve all audit services as well as permitted non-audit services. The ARC has delegated to the Chair of the Audit Committee, who is independent, the authority to act on behalf of the ARC with respect to the pre-approval of all audit and permitted non-audit services provided by its external auditors from time to time. Any approvals by the Chair are reported to the full ARC at its next meeting.

In addition to the responsibilities specifically enumerated in this Mandate, the Board may refer to the Committee such matters and questions relating to the financial position and operations of the Company and its subsidiaries as the Board may from time to time see fit.

Membership

The Committee shall consist of at least three directors appointed annually by the Board and shall be selected based upon the following, in accordance with applicable laws, rules and regulations:

Independence. Each member shall be independent in accordance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements, including, without limitation, the independence requirements set forth in Rule 10A-3(b)(1) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Act”) (subject to the exemptions provided in Rule 10A-3(c) under the Act) and National Instrument 52-110 – Audit Committees of the Canadian Securities Administrators, and shall have no direct or indirect material relationship with the Company which could, in the view of the Board, reasonably interfere with the exercise of a member's independent judgment.

Financially Literate. Each member shall be financially literate or must become financially literate within a reasonable period of time after his or her appointment to the Committee. For these purposes, an individual is financially literate if he or she has the ability to read and understand a set of financial statements that present a breadth and level of complexity of accounting issues that are generally comparable to the breadth and complexity of the issues that can reasonably be expected to be raised by the Company's financial statements.

Commitment. In addition to being a member of the Committee, if a member is also on the audit committee or board of directors of other public companies or organizations, the Board shall determine that such simultaneous service does not impair the ability of such member to serve effectively on the Committee.

Chair and Secretary

The Chair of the Committee shall be selected by the Board. If the Chair is not present, the members of the Committee may designate a Chair for the meeting by majority vote of the members present. The Secretary of the Company shall be the Secretary of the Committee, provided that if the Secretary is not present, the Chair of the meeting may appoint a secretary for the meeting with the consent of the other Committee members who are present.

Meetings

The times and locations of meetings of the Committee and the calling of and procedures at such meetings, shall be determined from time to time by the Chair of the Committee, in consultation with management when necessary, provided that there shall be a minimum of four meetings per year. The Committee shall have sufficient notice in order to prepare for each meeting. Notice of each meeting shall also be given to the external auditors of the Company, and meetings shall be convened whenever requested by the external auditors or any member of the Committee in accordance with applicable law.

Meeting Agendas

Agendas for meetings of the Committee shall be developed by the Chair of the Committee in consultation with management and the corporate secretary, and shall be circulated to the Committee members prior to any meetings.

Resources and Authority

The Committee shall have the resources and the authority to discharge its responsibilities, including the authority to engage, at the expense of the Company, outside consultants, independent legal counsel and other advisors as it determines necessary to carry out its duties, without seeking approval of the Board or management.
