5. REVOCATION OF PROXIES

Proxies given by Shareholders for use at the Meeting may be revoked at any time prior to their use. Subject to compliance with the requirements described in the following paragraph, the giving of a proxy will not affect the right of a Shareholder to attend, and vote in person at, the Meeting.

In addition to revocation in any other manner permitted by law, a proxy may be revoked by instrument in writing executed by the Shareholder or his/her attorney duly authorized in writing, or, if the Shareholder is a corporation, under its corporate seal by an officer or attorney thereof duly authorized and deposited with Computershare, in a manner provided above under “Appointment of Proxies”, at any time up to and including 9:3000 a.m. (CDT) on June 7, 20224, 2024 (or, if the Meeting is adjourned or postponed, 48 hours (Saturdays, Sundays and holidays excepted) prior to the holding of the Meeting) or, with the Chairman at the Meeting on the day of such meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, and upon any such deposit, the proxy is revoked.

6. NON-REGISTERED HOLDERS

Only registered Shareholders, or the persons they appoint as their proxies, are permitted to attend and vote at the Meeting. However, in many cases, Common Shares beneficially owned by a non-registered Shareholder (a “Non-Registered Holder”) are registered either (i) in the name of an intermediary (each, an “Intermediary” and collectively, the “Intermediaries”) that the Non-Registered Holder deals with in respect of the Common Shares, such as, among others, banks, trust companies, securities dealers or brokers and trustees or administrators of self-administered registered savings plans, registered retirement income funds, registered education savings plans and similar plans, or (ii) in the name of a clearing agency (such as the Depository Trust Company or CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc.) of which the Intermediary is a participant.

Page 8

TABLE OF CONTENTS
In accordance with applicable laws, Non-Registered Holders who have advised their Intermediary that they do not object to the Intermediary providing their ownership information to issuers whose securities they beneficially own (“Non-Objecting Beneficial Owners,” or “NOBOs”) will receive by mail a letter with respect to the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials. This Circular and the Notice of Meeting may be found at and downloaded from www.viemed.com/investor-relations.investors.

NOBOs who have standing instructions with the Intermediary for physical copies of this Circular will receive by mail the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, this Circular and the Notice of Meeting.

Intermediaries are required to forward the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials to Non-Registered Holders who have advised their Intermediary that they object to the Intermediary providing their ownership information (“Objecting Beneficial Owners,” or “OBOs”) unless a Non-Registered Holder has waived the right to receive them. Intermediaries will generally use service companies (such as Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc.) to forward proxy-related materials to OBOs. Generally, OBOs who have not waived the right to receive proxy-related materials will either:

a) be given a form of proxy which has already been signed by the Intermediary (typically by a facsimile stamped signature), which is restricted as to the number and class of securities beneficially owned by the OBO but which is not otherwise completed. Because the Intermediary has already signed the form of proxy, this form of proxy is not required to be signed by the Non-Registered Holder when submitting the proxy. In this case, the OBO who wishes to vote by proxy should otherwise properly complete the form of proxy and deliver it as specified; or

b) be given a Voting Instruction Form which the Intermediary must follow. The OBO should properly complete and sign the Voting Instruction Form and submit it to the Intermediary or its service company in accordance with the instructions of the Intermediary or its service company.

In either case, the purpose of this procedure is to permit Non-Registered Holders to direct the voting of the Common Shares they beneficially own. Should a Non-Registered Holder who receives either form of proxy wish to vote in person at the Meeting if a ballot is called, the Non-Registered Holder should strike out the persons named in the form of proxy and insert the Non-Registered Holder's name in the blank space provided. Non-Registered Holders should carefully follow the instructions of their Intermediary including those regarding when and where the form of proxy or Voting Instruction Form is to be delivered.

Management of the Corporation does not intend to pay for Intermediaries to forward the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials to OBOs. An OBO will not receive the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials unless the Intermediary assumes the cost of delivery.

7. EXERCISE OF DISCRETION BY PROXIES

Common Shares represented by properly executed proxies in favor of the persons named in the enclosed form of proxy will be voted on any ballot that may be called for and, where the person whose proxy is solicited specifies a choice with respect to the matters identified in the proxy, the Common Shares will be voted or withheld from voting in accordance with the specifications so made. Where Shareholders have properly executed proxies in favor of the persons named in the enclosed form of proxy and have not specified in the form of proxy the manner in which the named proxies are required to vote the Common Shares represented thereby, such shares will be voted in favor of the passing of the matters set forth in the Notice of Meeting. If a Shareholder appoints a representative other than the persons designated in the form of proxy, the Corporation assumes no responsibility as to whether the representative so appointed will attend the Meeting on the day thereof or any adjournment or postponement thereof.

The enclosed form of proxy confers discretionary authority with respect to amendments or variations to the matters identified in the Notice of Meeting and with respect to other matters that may properly come before the Meeting. At the date hereof, the management of the Corporation and the directors of the Corporation know of no such amendments, variations or other matters to come before the Meeting. However, if any other matters which at present are not known to the management of the Corporation and the directors of the Corporation should properly come before the Meeting, the proxy will be voted on such matters in accordance with the best judgment of the named proxies.

Unless otherwise indicated in this Circular and in the form of proxy and the Notice of Meeting attached hereto, Shareholders shall mean registered Shareholders.

The absence of a vote on a matter where the broker has not received written voting instructions from a beneficial owner is referred to as a “broker non-vote”.non-vote.” Any Common Shares represented at the Meeting but not voted (whether by broker non-vote or otherwise) will have no impact on the outcome of any matters to be acted upon at the Meeting, though Common Shares subject to abstentions or broker non-votes still count towards the quorum requirements for the Meeting.

In addition, if Shareholders approve the re-appointment of EY as the Corporation’s independent auditor,auditors, the Audit Committee may nevertheless periodically request proposals from the major registered public accounting firms and as a result of such process may select EY or another registered public accounting firm as our independent auditor.auditors.

As defined by the SEC, (i) “audit fees” are fees for professional services rendered by the Corporation’s independent registered public accounting firm for the audit of the Corporation’s annual financial statements and review of financial statements included in the Corporation’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or for services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for those fiscal years; (ii) “audit-related fees” are fees for assurance and related services by the Corporation’s independent registered public accounting firm that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Corporation’s financial statements and are not reported under “audit fees”; (iii) “tax fees” are fees for professional services rendered by the Corporation’s independent registered public accounting firm for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning; and (iv) “all other fees” are fees for products and services provided by the Corporation’s independent registered public accounting firm, other than the services reported under “audit fees,” “audit-related fees,” and “tax fees.”

Policy on Pre-Approval by Audit Committee of Services Performed by Auditors

Under applicable SEC rules, except for the ability to designate a portion of this responsibility as described below, the full Audit Committee is required to pre-approve the audit and non-audit services performed by the independent registered public accounting firm in order to ensure that they do not impair the auditors’ independence from the Corporation. The Audit Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to a member of the Audit Committee. The SEC’s rules specify the types of non-audit services that an independent auditor may not provide to its audit client and establish the Audit Committee’s responsibility for administration of the engagement of the independent registered public accounting firm. During 2021,2023, all audit and non-audit services and fees were pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

(iv) Security Based Compensation Plan

On April 12, 2024, the Board approved the 2024 Long Term Incentive Plan of the Corporation (the “2024 Omnibus Plan”) to be effective the date of the Meeting, or any adjournment or postponement thereof (the “Effective Date”), pursuant to which the Corporation is able to issue share-based long-term incentives. All directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Corporation and/or its affiliates (“Participants”) are eligible to receive awards under the 2024 Omnibus Plan, subject to the terms of the 2024 Omnibus Plan. Awards include Common Share purchase options (“Options”), restricted stock (“Restricted Stock”), stock appreciation rights (“Stock Appreciation Rights” or “SARs”), performance awards (“Performance Awards”) or other stock-based awards, including restricted stock units (“RSUs”), deferred stock units (“DSUs”), and Dividends and Dividend Equivalents (as defined below) (collectively, the “Awards”), under the 2024 Omnibus Plan. A copy of the 2024 Omnibus Plan is attached as Schedule “A” to this Circular.

The Corporation’s current compensation program, described elsewhere in this Circular (see “Executive Compensation”) provides total compensation for employees in various roles that is comprised of base salary (fixed cash amount), short-term performance incentives (variable cash bonuses) and lastly, long-term “at risk” equity-based incentives (phantom shares, stock options, RSUs and DSUs) that align employees’ interests with those of shareholders. The use of equity-based compensation as part of a competitive total compensation package for employees in certain roles also allows the Corporation to offer lower base salaries, thereby lowering its fixed cash compensation costs. With a view to extending the cash resources that the Corporation has available, it is important for the Corporation to be prudent in the management of its fixed cash expenses across all areas of operations, including in the area of employee compensation.

Purpose of the 2024 Omnibus Plan

The 2024 Omnibus Plan serves several purposes for the Corporation. One purpose is to advance the interests of the Corporation by developing the interests of Participants in the growth and development of the Corporation by providing such persons with the opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in the Corporation. All Participants are considered eligible to be selected to receive an Award under the 2024 Omnibus Plan. Another purpose is to attract and retain key talent and valuable personnel, who are necessary to the Corporation’s success and reputation, with a competitive compensation mechanism. Finally, the 2024 Omnibus Plan will align the interests of Participants with those of shareholders by devising a compensation mechanism which encourages the prudent maximization of distributions to shareholders and long-term growth.

With shareholder approval of the 2024 Omnibus Plan, the main components of the Corporation’s compensation program will be as follows: (i) base salary (fixed cash amount), (ii) short-term performance incentives (variable cash bonuses) and (iii) a broad range of long-term “at risk” equity-based incentives under the 2024 Omnibus Plan.

The 2024 Omnibus Plan is administered by the Board or a committee of the Board.

2024 Omnibus Plan Maximum and Limits

If the Corporation’s shareholders approve the 2024 Omnibus Plan, the limits with respect to Security Based Compensation Arrangements included in Sections 4.1 and 27 of the existing 2020 Long Term Incentive Plan of the Corporation (effective June 11, 2020) (the “2020 LTIP”) will be removed effective as of the date of such approval and no future awards will be granted under the 2020 LTIP. The maximum number of Common Shares that will be available for Awards and issuance under the 2024 Omnibus Plan and that may be reserved for issuance, at any time, under the 2024 Omnibus Plan, the 2020 LTIP, the Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan of the Corporation (effective as of July 17, 2018) (the “2018 Option Plan”) and the Amended and Restated Restricted Share Unit Plan and the Deferred Share Unit Plan of the Corporation (effective July 17, 2018) (the “2018 RSU/DSU Plan,” and, together with the 2020 LTIP and the 2018 Option Plan, the “PriorPlans”) will be 7,800,000 Common Shares. The maximum number of the foregoing Common Shares that may be awarded under the 2024 Omnibus Plan as “Incentive Stock Options” (as defined in the 2024 Omnibus Plan) will be 1,000,000 Common Shares.

As of April 12, 2024, 5,672,467 Common Shares were reserved for issuance pursuant to outstanding awards under the Prior Plans and 261,873 Common Shares were available for issuance under the 2020 LTIP. Accordingly, the approval of the 2024 Omnibus Plan represents an effective increase in the number of Common Shares available for issuance as share-based long-term incentives to directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Corporation of 1,865,660 Common Shares as of such date.

Any Common Shares underlying outstanding Awards that for any reason expire or are terminated, forfeited or canceled shall again be available for issuance under the 2024 Omnibus Plan; provided, however, that amounts withheld for taxes or withheld for the purchase price for Options or SARs shall not again be available for issuance under the 2024 Omnibus Plan, but shares of stock withheld and not issued to a participant in order to satisfy the purchase price or for the payment of taxes for restricted stock, performance awards or other stock-based awards (other than an Option or SAR) shall be available for issuance under the 2024 Omnibus Plan. Any Common Shares forfeited, cancelled or otherwise not issued for any reason under the awards of the Prior Plans and that would have been available for awards and issuance under the Prior Plans pursuant to the terms of those Prior Plans shall be available for Awards and issuance under the 2024 Omnibus Plan. Any awards outstanding under the Prior Plans shall remain subject to the terms of those awards and the Prior Plans. Awards that by their terms are to be settled solely in cash shall not be counted against the maximum number of Common Shares available for the issuance of Awards under the 2024 Omnibus Plan.

The amount of Awards granted to a non-employee director, within a calendar year period, pursuant to the 2024 Omnibus Plan shall not exceed US$500,000 in value of the aggregate of Common Share and cash Awards. The 2024 Omnibus Plan does not otherwise provide for a maximum number of Common Shares which may be issued to an individual pursuant to the 2024 Omnibus Plan.

Cessation of Service and Transferability

The Compensation Committee (defined below) may provide the circumstances in which Awards shall be exercised, vested, paid or forfeited in the event a Participant ceases to provide service to the Corporation or any affiliate prior to the end of a performance period or exercise or settlement of such Award.

Subject to limited exceptions in the 2024 Omnibus Plan for certain Awards, an Award may be assignable or transferable by a Participant only by will or by the laws of descent and distribution following the death of the Participant.

Adjustments and Change in Control of the Corporation

In the event of any stock dividend or extraordinary cash dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization, combination, reclassification or similar change in the capital structure of the Corporation, appropriate adjustments shall be made in the number and class of Common Shares subject to the 2024 Omnibus Plan and to any outstanding Awards and in the exercise price per share of any outstanding Awards.

In the event of a Change in Control (as such term is defined in the 2024 Omnibus Plan) of the Corporation, the Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion, shall have the power and right to (but subject to any accelerated vesting specified in an Award agreement):

i.cancel, effective immediately prior to or upon the occurrence of the Change in Control of the Corporation, each outstanding Award (whether or not then vested or exercisable) (including the cancellation of any Options for which the exercise price is greater than the consideration to be received), and with respect to Options and Stock Appreciation Rights that currently have an exercise price less than the consideration to be received immediately prior to the Change in Control of the Corporation, pay to the Participant an amount in cash equal to the excess of (i) the value, as determined by the Compensation Committee, of the property (including cash) received by shareholders as a result of such Change in Control of the Corporation over (ii) the exercise price of such Award, if any, subject to certain exceptions;

ii.provide for the exchange or substitution of each Award outstanding immediately prior to or upon such Change in Control of the Corporation (whether or not then vested or exercisable) for another Award with respect to the Common Shares or other property for which such Award is exchangeable and, incident thereto, make an equitable adjustment as determined by the Compensation Committee in the exercise price of the Award, if any, or in the number of Common Shares or amount of property (including cash) subject to the Award; or

iii.provide for assumption of the 2024 Omnibus Plan and such outstanding Awards by the surviving entity or its parent.

Amendment and Administration Provision

xi.to correct any defect, supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the 2024 Omnibus Plan or any Award agreement and to make all other determinations and take such other actions with respect to the 2024 Omnibus Plan or any Award as the Compensation Committee may deem advisable to the extent not inconsistent with the provisions of the 2024 Omnibus Plan or applicable law.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following amendments to the 2024 Omnibus Plan require the approval of shareholders of the Corporation:

i.an increase in the maximum number of Common Shares that may be made the subject of Awards under the 2024 Omnibus Plan;

ii.any change in the class of persons eligible to receive Awards or purchase Common Shares under the 2024 Omnibus Plan, or any extension of the term of the 2024 Omnibus Plan;

iii.any adjustment (other than as set out in the 2024 Omnibus Plan) or amendment that reduces or would have the effect of reducing the exercise price of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right previously granted under the 2024 Omnibus Plan, whether through amendment, cancellation, replacement grants or other means (provided that, in such a case, insiders of the Corporation who benefit from such amendment are not eligible to vote their Common Shares in respect of the approval);

iv.any amendment to the plan amendment provisions, subject to certain exceptions included in the 2024 Omnibus Plan; and

v.any amendment that would require approval of shareholders under any applicable law, regulation or rule or the stock exchange or market system on which the Common Shares are traded.

Dividends

The Compensation Committee shall determine whether Awards (other than Options and Stock Appreciation Rights) shall receive dividends or amounts equivalent to cash, Common Shares or other property as dividends on Common Shares (“Dividends” or “Dividend Equivalents”) with respect to the number of Common Shares covered by the Award; provided, however, any Dividends or Dividend Equivalents with respect to Common Shares covered by an Award shall be subject to restrictions and risk of forfeiture to the same extent as those Common Shares covered by the Award with respect to such Dividends or Dividend Equivalents. In no event will Dividends or Dividend Equivalents be awarded with respect to an Option or Stock Appreciation Rights.

Options

Options under the 2024 Omnibus Plan include Nonstatutory Stock Options and Incentive Stock Options.

The exercise price per Common Share under an Option shall be determined by the Compensation Committee; provided, however, that, subject to certain exceptions described in the 2024 Omnibus Plan, such exercise price shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Common Share on the date of grant of such Option. With the approval of the Compensation Committee, a Participant may elect to exercise an Option, in whole or in part, on a ‘cashless exercise’ basis, without payment of the aggregate
Page 23

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Option price due on such exercise by electing to receive Common Shares equal in value to the difference between the Option price and the Fair Market Value on the date of exercise, computed in accordance with the 2024 Omnibus Plan.

The term of each Option shall be fixed by the Compensation Committee, but shall not exceed 10 years from the date of grant thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to certain exceptions detailed in the 2024 Omnibus Plan, if the term of an Option would otherwise expire during, or within nine business days of the expiration of a Black-Out Period (as such term is defined in the 2024 Omnibus Plan) applicable to such Participant, then the term of such Option shall be extended, in accordance with Section 409A of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), to the close of business on the tenth business day following the expiration of the Black-Out Period.

Unless the Compensation Committee decides otherwise, Options granted under 2024 Omnibus Plan will expire at the earliest of: (i) the expiry date set out in the applicable Award agreement; (ii) three months after termination due to disability of the Participant or one year after the Participant’s death; (iii) three months after termination without “cause” following a Change in Control of the Corporation; (iv) in the case of a termination for “cause”, the expiry date set out in the applicable Award agreement; and (v) three months following the Participant’s termination for any other reason.

Incentive Stock Options may only be granted to employees. To the extent Options designated as Incentive Stock Options become exercisable for the first time during any calendar year for Common Shares having an aggregate fair market value greater than US$100,000, the portion of such Options which exceeds such amount shall be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options. Incentive Stock Options are subject to additional requirements and restrictions as provided in the 2024 Omnibus Plan and as required by the Code.

Restricted Stock

The 2024 Omnibus Plan, if approved, will provide the Compensation Committee with additional equity-based compensation alternatives in the form of Restricted Stock, which provide an “at risk” equity-based incentive and may replace short-term cash based incentives currently provided for in the Corporation’s compensation plan.

Restricted Stock consists of Common Shares that are subject to such restrictions as the Compensation Committee may impose (including, without limitation, restrictions on voting and transferability, or that constitute any limitation on the right to receive any Dividend or Dividend Equivalent or other right), which restrictions may lapse separately or in combination at such time or times, in such installments or otherwise, as the Compensation Committee may deem appropriate.

Restricted Stock shall be awarded for no additional consideration or such additional consideration as the Compensation Committee may determine, which consideration may be equal to or more than the Fair Market Value of the Common Shares on the grant date.

Other Stock-Based Awards

Under the 2024 Omnibus Plan, the Compensation Committee may grant other stock-based Awards that are denominated or payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise related to, Common Shares, as deemed by the Compensation Committee to be consistent with the purposes of the 2024 Omnibus Plan and the goals of the Corporation, including, without limitation, RSU/DSUs, Stock Appreciation Rights and phantom awards. Stock Appreciation Rights are subject to the same requirements as Nonstatutory Options.

Other stock-based Awards may be settled in Common Shares, cash or a combination thereof.

Performance Awards may be granted by the Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion, in the form of cash or Common Shares (including Restricted Stock) or a combination thereof based upon the achievement of goals as determined by the Compensation Committee. Types of other stock-based Awards or Performance Awards include, without limitation, purchase rights, phantom stock, Stock Appreciation Rights, RSU/DSUs, performance units, Restricted Stock or Common Shares subject to performance goals, Common Shares awarded that are not subject to any restrictions or conditions, convertible or exchangeable debentures related to Common Shares, other rights convertible into Common Shares, Awards valued by reference to the value of Common Shares or the performance of the Corporation or a specified subsidiary, affiliate division or department, Awards based upon performance goals established by the Compensation Committee and settlement in cancellation of rights of any person with a vested interest in any other plan, fund, program or arrangement that is or was sponsored, maintained or participated in by the Corporation or any subsidiary.

Page 24

TABLE OF CONTENTS
In its sole discretion, the Compensation Committee may specify such criteria, periods or performance goals for vesting in the foregoing stock-based Awards or Performance Awards and/or payment thereof to Participants; and the extent to which such criteria, periods or goals have been met shall be determined by the Compensation Committee. All terms and conditions of such stock-based Awards and Performance Awards shall be determined by the Compensation Committee and set forth in the applicable Award agreement.

Summary of Certain Federal Income Tax Considerations

The following summary is based on certain applicable provisions of the Code, as currently in effect, and the income tax regulations and proposed income tax regulations issued thereunder. This summary does not purport to cover all federal income tax consequences or any federal employment tax or other federal tax consequences that may be associated with the 2024 Omnibus Plan, nor does it cover state, local, employment, foreign or other taxes.

Status of Options. Options granted under the 2024 Omnibus Plan may be either Incentive Stock Options or Nonstatutory Stock Options. Under certain circumstances, an Incentive Stock Option may be treated as a Nonstatutory Stock Option. The tax consequences, both to the option holder and to the Corporation, differ depending on whether an Option is an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonstatutory Stock Option.

Nonstatutory Stock Options. Generally, no federal income tax is imposed on the Option holder upon the grant of a Nonstatutory Stock Option. If the Common Shares received by an option holder upon the exercise of a Nonstatutory Stock Option are not subject to certain restrictions in the hands of the Option holder, then the Option holder will be treated as receiving compensation, taxable as ordinary income in the year of exercise. The amount recognized as ordinary income upon such an exercise is the excess of the fair market value of the Common Shares at the time of exercise over the exercise price paid for such Common Shares.

Incentive Stock Options. No federal income tax is imposed on the Option holder upon the grant or exercise of an Incentive Stock Option. The Option holder will recognize no ordinary income for federal income tax purposes upon disposition of Common Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option, if the Option holder (i) does not dispose of the Common Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option within two years from the date the Option was granted or within one year after the Common Shares were transferred to the Option holder (the “Holding Period”), and (ii) is an employee of either (a) the corporation granting the Option, (b) the parent corporation or a subsidiary corporation of the granting corporation, or (c) a corporation (or the parent corporation or a subsidiary corporation of such corporation) that has assumed such option of another corporation as a result of a corporate reorganization, merger, or similar transaction. Such employment must continue for the entire time from the date the Option was granted until three months before the date of exercise or twelve months before the date of exercise if employment ceases due to permanent and total disability (as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code). If Common Shares received upon exercise of an Incentive Stock Option are disposed of after completion of the Holding Period, any difference between the exercise price paid for such Common Shares and the amount realized on the disposition will be treated as a capital gain or loss. The gain, if any, realized upon such a disposition will be treated as a long-term capital gain. Any loss realized upon such a disposition will be treated as a long-term capital loss. In the case of disposition of Common Shares following expiration of the Holding Period, the Corporation would not be entitled to any deduction in connection with the grant or exercise of the Incentive Stock Option or the disposition of the Common Shares so acquired.

If, however, an Option holder disposes of Common Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option before expiration of the Holding Period (a “Disqualifying Disposition”), the Option holder would be treated as having received, at the time of disposition, compensation taxable as ordinary income.

Although the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option does not result in current taxable income, there are implications with regard to the Alternative Minimum Tax (“AMT”). The excess of the fair market value of Common Shares acquired upon exercise of an Incentive Stock Option over the exercise price paid for such Common Shares is an adjustment to AMT income for the Option holder’s taxable year in which such exercise occurs (unless the Common Shares are disposed of in the same taxable year and the amount realized is less than the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise, in which event the amount included in AMT income will not exceed the amount realized on the disposition over the adjusted basis of the shares).

Stock Appreciation Rights. Upon the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, if Common Shares are received in settlement of the Stock Appreciation Right, the fair market value of those shares received is recognized as income for federal income tax purposes at the time of exercise. If a participant receives cash upon the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, the amount of cash received is recognized as income for federal income tax purposes at the time of exercise.

Page 25

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Restricted Stock. Generally, the grant of Restricted Stock will not be a taxable event to the participant, and the Corporation will not receive a deduction. Absent an 83(b) election (described below), the participant will be taxed at ordinary income rates when the Restricted Stock vests (an amount equal to the difference between the fair market value of the Restricted Stock on the vesting date and the consideration paid, if any, for the shares), and the Corporation will receive a corresponding deduction. However, the participant may elect to make an 83(b) election not later than 30 days after the grant of the Restricted Stock. An 83(b) election is an election permitted under Section 83(b) of the Code that allows the participant to recognize compensation income on the Restricted Stock at the time of the grant equal to the difference between the fair market value of the Restricted Stock on the date of grant and the amount paid, if any, for the shares. If the participant makes an 83(b) election, the Corporation receives a corresponding deduction at the time of the grant, and the participant is not taxed, nor does the Corporation receive any deduction, upon vesting of the shares.

When the participant sells the shares following vesting, he or she may realize a capital gain if the sales price is greater than his or her basis in the shares. The participant’s basis for this purpose is the fair market value at the time of vesting (if no 83(b) election is made) or at the time of grant (if an 83(b) election is made). The Corporation does not receive a deduction upon disposition of the stock by the participant. If, following vesting, the participant sells the shares and the amount realized is more than the participant’s basis in the stock, the participant will recognize a capital gain. If, following vesting, the participant sells the shares and the amount realized is less than the participant’s basis in the stock, the participant will recognize a capital loss. The capital gain or loss will be either short-term or long-term, depending on the holding period of the shares. The holding period commences upon vesting (if no 83(b) election is made) or upon grant (if an 83(b) election is made).

Restricted Stock Units. In general, a participant who receives a RSU award will not be taxed on receipt of the award; instead, upon vesting (or potentially settlement, depending upon how the RSU is structured), the amount paid to the participant (whether in cash, shares, or a combination thereof) denominated in cash will be taxable as compensation to the participant.

Other Tax Considerations

In the event of a change of control of the Corporation, certain payments in the nature of compensation to certain individuals, if contingent on the change of control, could be nondeductible to the Corporation and subject to an additional 20% tax to the participant. Awards under the 2024 Omnibus Plan that are made, vest, or become payable in connection with a change of control may be required to be taken into account in determining whether these penalties apply.

Some Awards granted under the 2024 Omnibus Plan may be considered non-qualified deferred compensation that is subject to special rules and an additional 20% tax to the participant if not compliant with Section 409A of the Code. The administrator of the 2024 Omnibus Plan intends to design and administer such Awards either to be exempt from or to comply with Section 409A of the Code and avoid the imposition of any additional tax under Section 409A of the Code, but is not required to do so. There is no commitment or guarantee that any federal, state, local, or foreign tax treatment will (or will not) apply or be available to any participant with respect to any Award.

Inapplicability of ERISA

Based on current law and published interpretations, the Corporation does not believe that the 2024 Omnibus Plan is subject to any of the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the 2024 Omnibus Plan expressly provides that there is no commitment or guarantee that any federal, state, or local tax treatment will (or will not) apply or be available to any person who participates or is eligible to participate in the 2024 Omnibus Plan.

Shareholder Approval

The 2024 Omnibus Plan has been adopted and authorized by the Board to be effective the date of the Meeting, or any adjournment or postponement thereof, subject to the approval of shareholders at the Meeting. The 2024 Omnibus Plan will continue until the earlier of termination by the Board or 10 years from the Effective Date.

11.    CORPORATE GOVERNANCE DISCLOSURE

Set forth below is a description of the Corporation’s current corporate governance practices, as prescribed by Form 58-101F1, which is attached to National Instrument 58-101 – Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices (“NI 58-101”).

Board of Directors and Independence

The Board has determined that Randy Dobbs (Chairman), Nitin Kaushal, Timothy Smokoff, Bruce Greenstein and Sabrina Heltz, current and prospective members of the Board, are independent as such term is defined in NI 58-101, and are independent in accordance with the listing standards of NASDAQ.

The Board has determined that Casey Hoyt, W. Todd Zehnder and William Frazier, current and prospective members of the Board, are not independent as such term is defined in NI 58-101 and are not independent in accordance with the listing standards of NASDAQ, as they are executive officers (as such term is defined in NI 51-102) and employees of the Corporation. Accordingly, a majority of the current and prospective members of the Board are independent.

Board Leadership Structure

Our Board is led by Randy Dobbs, the Corporation’s independent Chairman of the Board. The Board believes that this leadership structure, which separates the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer roles, is appropriate at this time. The Board believes its current leadership structure best serves the objectives of the Board’s oversight of management, the Board’s ability to carry out its roles and responsibilities on behalf of the Corporation’s shareholders and the Corporation’s overall corporate governance.

All of the members of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and CG&N Committee are independent as further described below. The independent directors have the opportunity, at their discretion, to hold ad hoc meetings that are not attended by management and non-independent directors.

The Board believes that adequate structures and processes are in place to facilitate the functioning of the Board independently of the Corporation’s management. The independent directors met together without management present four times during 2021.2023. The regularly scheduled Board committee meetings give the independent directors the opportunity for open and frank discussions on all matters they consider relevant, including an assessment of their own performance. In addition, the Audit Committee meets periodically with the Corporation’s auditorauditors without management present. Accordingly, the Board believes that there is adequate leadership by the independent directors.



Page 20

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Meetings of Independent Directors

The independent directors of the Board may, upon request, meet in executive session at any meeting of the Board. The independent directors generally meet in executive sessions without management present during their regularly scheduled board meetings, and on an as-needed basis during special meetings. During 2021,2023, the independent directors held executive sessions at each of the four regularly-scheduled Board meetings in January, May, August and November.

Board’s Role in Risk Oversight

The Board oversees the Corporation’s management and, with the assistance of management, is actively involved in oversight of risks that could affect the Corporation. The Board engages in the oversight of risk in various ways, including (i) reviewing and approving management’s operating plans and considering any risks that could affect operating results, (ii) reviewing the structure and operation of the Corporation’s various departments and functions and (iii) in connection with the review and approval of particular transactions and initiatives, reviewing related risk analyses and mitigation plans.

The Board has also delegated certain risk oversight responsibility to committees of the Board as follows: (i) the Audit Committee meets periodically with management to discuss the Corporation’s process for assessing and managing risks, including the Corporation’s major financial risk exposures and the steps management has taken to monitor and control such exposures; (ii) the Compensation Committee reviews the Corporation’s incentive compensation arrangements to determine whether such arrangements encourage excessive risk-taking and discusses, at least annually, the relationship between risk management policies and practices and compensation; and (iii) the CG&N Committee oversees risk related to corporate governance.governance and cybersecurity. The Corporation’s management regularly reports to the full Board and, as appropriate, the committees of the Board regarding enterprise risk that the Corporation must mitigate and manage.

Corporation intends to disclose on its website any amendments or waivers to the codeCode that are required to be disclosed by SEC rules.

The Corporation’s reputation for honesty and integrity amongst its shareholders and other stakeholders will be key to the success of its business. No employee or director will be permitted to achieve results through violation of laws or regulations, or through unscrupulous dealings.

The Board must comply with conflict of interest provisions of the BCBCA.

Nomination of Directors

The CG&N Committee is currently responsible for identifying candidates for election to the Board. The Corporation’s Articles also provide for advance notice of nominations of directors by shareholders of the Corporation at its annual meeting of shareholders. The Corporation does not have a formal policy concerning shareholders nominations of individuals to stand for election to the Board, other than the provisions contained in the Corporation’s Articles. Since the Corporation’s spin out from PHM, the Corporation has not received any recommendations from shareholders requesting that the Board consider a candidate for inclusion among the slate of nominees in any year, and therefore the Corporation believes that no formal policy, in addition to the provisions contained in the Corporation’s Articles, concerning shareholders recommendations is needed. For further information regarding the Board nomination procedures under the Corporation’s Articles, see “Business of the Meeting – Election of Directors” above and “Shareholder Proposals – Advance Notice Provisions” below.

The CG&N Committee is responsible for periodically reviewing the size of the Board, with a view to determining the impact of the number of directors on the effectiveness of the Board, and identifying potential nominees to the Board, reviewing their qualifications and experience, determining their independence as required under all applicable corporate and securities laws and recommending to the Board the nominees for consideration by, and presentation to, the shareholders at the Corporation’s next annual meeting of shareholders. In making its recommendations, the CG&N Committee applies the standards established in the CG&N Committee Charter and considers the competencies and skills that the Board considers to be necessary for the Board as a whole to possess, the competencies and skills that the Board considers each existing director to possess, as well as the competencies and skills each new nominee will bring to the boardroom. The CG&N Committee also considers the amount of time and resources that nominees have available to fulfill their duties as Board members or committee members, as applicable.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
While the Board has not adopted a written policy concerning Board diversity, the Board believes that diversity along multiple dimensions, including gender, race, ethnicity and professional expertise and experience, is important in providing the necessary range of perspectives required to achieve objectives. The Board recognizes that gender diversity is a significant aspect of diversity and acknowledges the important contributions that women with the right competencies and skills can make to the diversity of perspective in the boardroom. Accordingly, in order to promote the specific objective of gender diversity, the selection process for Board appointees/nominees by the Corporation will involve trying to identifycontinue the pursuit of potential female candidates and if, at the end of the selection process, no female candidates are selected, the Board must be satisfied that there are objective reasons to support this determination.

On an annual basis, the CG&N Committee will assess the effectiveness of the Board’s appointment/nomination process at achieving diversity and consider and, if determined advisable, recommend to the Board for adoption, measurable objectives for achieving diversity on the Board. At this time, the Corporation has not adopted a target regarding women or underrepresented minorities on the Board as the Board believes that arbitrary targets are not in the best interests of the Corporation or its shareholders. The Board is committed to nominating the best individuals to be elected as directors.

The CG&N Committee is also responsible for periodically examining and making recommendations to the Board in relation to mechanisms of Board renewal. The Corporation currently does not have any policies imposing a term or retirement age limit in connection with individuals nominated for election as directors, as the CG&N Committee and the Board believe that such arbitrary limits are not in the best interests of the Corporation or its shareholders. It is the Board’s intention to strive to achieve a balance between the desirability to have a depth of institutional experience from its members on the one hand, and the need for renewal and new perspectives on the other hand.

Compensation

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021,2023, the Corporation’s executive compensation program was administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board.Committee. The Corporation’s executive compensation program has the objectiveobjectives of attracting and retaining a qualified and cohesive group of executives, motivating team performance and aligning of the interests of executives with the interests of the Corporation’s shareholders through a package of compensation that is simple and easy to understand and implement. Compensation under the program was designed to achieve both current and longer term goals of the Corporation and to optimize returns to shareholders. In addition, in order to further align the interests of executives with the interests of the Corporation’s shareholders, the Corporation has implemented share ownership incentives through the 2020 LTIP (defined below). The Compensation Committee believes that the Corporation’s overall compensation objectives are consistent with its peer group of healthcare companies with opportunities to participate in equity ownership.

In determining the total compensation of any member of senior management, the Compensation Committee considers all elements of compensation in total rather than one element in isolation and considers the recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer. The Compensation Committee also examines the competitive positioning of total compensation and the mix of fixed, incentive and share-based compensation.

Although the Corporation qualifies as an emerging growth company and a smaller reporting company under U.S. securities laws, and accordingly may provide disclosure of the Corporation’s executive compensation program under the scaled-down reporting rules under U.S. securities laws applicable to emerging growth companies and smaller reporting companies, the Corporation is providing additional detail with respect to its executive compensation, including in “Compensation Governance” and “Performance Graph” and in the “Summary Compensation Table,” “Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End 2021”2023” table, “Incentive Plan Awards - Value Vested or Earned During the Year” tables and “Outstanding Share-Based Awards and Option-Based Awards” tables consistent with the disclosure requirements that apply under Canadian securities laws.

Incentive Plans

Cash Bonus Plan

Effective December 28, 2017, Viemed, Inc., our wholly owned subsidiary, adopted an annual discretionary cash bonus plan (the “Cash Bonus Plan”). The purpose of the Cash Bonus Plan is to attract, motivate and retain executive management, officers and other employees by providing a financial incentive for employment with the Corporation and its divisions and subsidiaries and rewarding them for performance in line with increasing the value of the Corporation and its divisions and subsidiaries based on a review of objective standards and subjective elements determined by the Compensation Committee.

The Compensation Committee is responsible for determining those officers and other employees of the Corporation who will participate in the Cash Bonus Plan for a particular calendar year (a “Plan Year”), and categorizing participants at different levels
Page 34

TABLE OF CONTENTS
within the Corporation in accordance with the Cash Bonus Plan and their potential bonus as a percentage of their salary (the “BonusAmount”). Such determinations are made on an annual basis prior to or within 90 days of the beginning of the Plan Year or within 60 days of hire for a newly hired participant.

The Compensation Committee determines the criteria, the weight to be given to each criterion, the minimum and maximum thresholds, if any, and other factors utilized by the Compensation Committee in determining whether participants will be eligible to receive Bonus Amounts that are target and maximum or any amount in-between based on the annual performance of the Corporation. Cash bonuses are awarded, in large part, when performance meets or exceeds certain objective benchmarks, but the Compensation Committee reserves the ability to determine Bonus Amounts based on discretionary, subjective factors as well. Performance criteria under the Cash Bonus Plan include Adjusted EBITDA and othervarious (i) financial and operational goals (which goals are weighted at 70%) such as adjusted EBITDA, revenue, business line growth and number of patients and (ii) other corporate goals (which goals are weighted at 30%) such as capital deployment opportunities, technological capabilities, internal leadership and communications, corporate governance and staffing levels. The Compensation Committee of the Board will determine the total annual cash bonus actually awarded to a participant after taking into consideration the foregoing, but retains sole discretion to determine the amount of the actual awarded amount. The Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion, may add additional criterion in order to measure the overall performance of the Corporation for the purposes of making awards under the Cash Bonus Plan.

Notwithstanding the achievement of the criteria, except after a Change in Control of the Corporation (as more specifically set out in the Cash Bonus Plan), the Compensation Committee may determine in its sole discretion to pay only a portion or pay no Bonus Amount for a Plan Year, including, but not limited to, if, in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee, the financial health of the Corporation or business conditions do not warrant the payment of any Bonus Amounts. Actual awarded amounts will be paid in a cash lump sum as soon as possible after such awards are determined by the Compensation Committee after the end of the Plan Year, but not later than 2.5 months after the end of the applicable Plan Year.

For the year ended December 31, 2023, awards in the amounts of $787,950, $664,350, $664,350, $258,571 and $227,543 were earned by Messrs. Hoyt, Moore, Zehnder, Fitzgerald and Cambre, respectively, under the Cash Bonus Plan.

Phantom Share Plan

On April 3, 2018, Viemed, Inc., our wholly owned subsidiary, adopted a phantom share plan (the “Phantom Share Plan”) for the purpose of furthering long-term growth in earnings by offering long-term incentives to key employees of the Corporation in the form of phantom shares (“Phantom Shares”).

The Phantom Share Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee has the powerdiscretion to: select the employees to be granted awards of Phantom Shares under the Phantom Share Plan (each a “Phantom Award” and collectively, “Phantom Awards”); determine the number of Phantom Shares to be granted to each employee selected;selected employee; determine the time or times when Phantom Shares will be granted; determine that all participants shall be of a single class or to divide participants into different classes; determine the time or times, and the conditions, subject to which any Phantom Awards may become payable; and determine all other terms and conditions of Phantom Awards including accelerating or modifying a Phantom Award. The Compensation Committee also has the sole authority to interpret and construe the terms of the Phantom Share Plan, establish and revise rules and regulations relating thereto and make any other determinations that it believes necessary or advisable for the administration of the Phantom Share Plan. The Compensation Committee retains the complete power and authority to terminate or amend the Phantom Share Plan at any time in writing in its sole discretion and make payments under the Phantom Share Plan.

Page 44

TABLE OF CONTENTS
No employee or other person has any right to be granted a Phantom Award. A Phantom Award of Phantom Shares does not entitle the participant to hold or exercise any voting rights, rights to dividends or any other rights of a shareholder of the Corporation or any affiliate of the Corporation.

In the Compensation Committee’s discretion, the Compensation CommitteePhantom Shares may grant Phantom Sharesbe granted to a participant (i) that are (i) immediately fully vested or (ii) subject to a vesting schedule or a performance event as specified in the participant’s Phantom Award (a “Vesting Event”). Phantom Awards of Phantom Shares are credited to an account (an “Account”) to be maintained for each participant. A participant only has a right to any part of his or her Phantom Shares to the extent that (i)(1) a participant’s interest in such Phantom Shares has vested (in accordance with the applicable Phantom Award), and (ii)(2) the rights to such Phantom Shares have not otherwise been forfeited by the participant pursuant to the terms of the Phantom Share Plan or the applicable Phantom Award. Payments with respect to Phantom Shares that have vested as specifically provided in the Phantom Award will be made in a lump sum within 60 days of the Vesting Event in cash. No participant has any right to receive payment for any part of his or her unpaid Phantom Shares (vested and unvested) if the participant’s employment or other service with the Corporation is terminated for cause.“cause.”

Page 35

TABLE OF CONTENTS
The total cash amount to be paid in the aggregate to a participant upon a Vesting Event is the value of the vested Phantom Shares in the participant’s Account on the date of the Vesting Event giving rise to the obligation to make payment calculated in accordance with the Phantom Share Plan. The value of one Phantom Share will be equal to the fair market value of a common share on the date of a Vesting Event as defined in the participant’s Phantom Award.

For the year ended December 31, 2023, Messrs. Hoyt, Moore, Zehnder, Fitzgerald and Cambre were granted awards with a grant date fair value of $239,807, $161,236, $161,236, $57,400 and $51,024, respectively, under the Phantom Share Plan.

The 2020 LTIP is administered by the Compensation Committee. All directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Corporation and/or its affiliates (“Participants”) are eligible to receive awards under the 2020 LTIP, subject to the terms of the 2020 LTIP.

20    SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS

Under the Exchange Act, the deadline for submitting shareholder proposals for inclusion in the management information and proxy circular for an annual meeting of the Corporation is calculated in accordance with Rule 14a-8(e) of Regulation 14A to the Exchange Act. If the proposal is submitted for a regularly scheduled annual meeting, the proposal must be received at the Corporation’s principal executive offices not less than 120 calendar days before the anniversary date of the Corporation’s management information and proxy circular released to the shareholders in connection with the previous year’s annual meeting. However, if the Corporation did not hold an annual meeting the previous year, or if the date of the current year’s annual meeting has been changed by more than 30 days from the date of the previous year’s annual meeting, then the deadline is a reasonable time before the Corporation begins to print and mail its proxy materials. Accordingly, unless the date of the next annual meeting is changed by more than 30 days from the date of this year’s annual meeting the deadline for submitting shareholder proposals for inclusion in the management information and proxy circular for the next annual meeting of the Corporation will be December 30, 2022. If a shareholder proposal is not submitted to the Corporation by December 30, 2022, the Corporation may still grant discretionary proxy authority to vote on a shareholder proposal, if such proposal is received by the Corporation by March 9, 2023in accordance with Rule 14a-4(c)(1) of Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act.27, 2024.

In addition, there are (i) certain requirements relating to shareholder proposals contained in the BCBCA; and (ii) certain requirements relating to the nomination of directors contained the Articles of the Corporation. If any person entitled to vote at an annual meeting of the Corporation’s shareholders wishes to propose any matter for consideration at the next annual meeting, in order for such proposal to be considered for inclusion in the materials made available to shareholders in respect of such annual meeting, such proposal must be received by the Corporation at its registered office at least three months before the anniversary date of the current year’s annual meeting. Accordingly, based on the date of this year’s annual meeting, the deadline for submitting shareholder proposals for inclusion in the management information and proxy circular for the next annual meeting of the Corporation will be March 9, 2023.6, 2025. In addition, such person must meet the definition of a “qualified shareholder” and otherwise comply with the requirements for shareholder proposals set out in sections 187 to 191 of the BCBCA.


Page 41

TABLE OF CONTENTS
In addition, the Corporation’s Articles contain an advance notice requirement for director nominations (the “Advance Notice Provisions”) which require that advance notice be provided to the Corporation in circumstances where nominations of persons for election to the Board are made by shareholders of the Corporation other than pursuant to: (i) a requisition of a meeting of shareholders made pursuant to the provisions of the BCBCA;BCBCA or (ii) a shareholder proposal made pursuant to the provisions of the BCBCA. Shareholders who wish to nominate candidates for election as directors must provide timely notice in writing to the Corporation at 625 E. Kaliste Saloom Rd., Lafayette, Louisiana 70508, Attn: Corporate Secretary. The notice must be given not less than 30 days and no more than 65 days prior to the date of the annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the annual meeting is to be held on a date that is less than 40 days after the date on which the first public announcement of the date of the annual meeting was made, notice may be given not later than the close of business on the 10th day following such public announcement. In the case of a special meeting of shareholders (which is not also an annual meeting) called for the purpose of electing directors, notice must be given not later than the close of business on the 15th day following the day on which the announcement in respect of such special meeting was made. The Advance Notice Provisions also prescribe the proper written form for the notice. The Board may, in its sole discretion, waive any requirement of the Advance Notice Provisions.

21.    SHAREHOLDERS SHARING THE SAME ADDRESS

The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and Intermediaries to satisfy the delivery requirements for shareholder meeting materials with respect to two or more shareholders sharing the same address by delivering a single set of meeting materials addressed to those shareholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” potentially means extra convenience for shareholders and cost savings for companies.

A number of brokers with account holders who are shareholders of the Corporation will be “householding” the Corporation’s proxy materials. A single set of meeting materials will be delivered to multiple shareholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected shareholders. Once you have received notice from your broker that they will be “householding” communications to your address, “householding” will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in “householding” and would prefer to receive a separate set of shareholder meeting materials, please notify your broker or the Corporation. Direct your written request to 625 E. Kaliste Saloom Rd., Lafayette, Louisiana 70508, Attn: Corporate Secretary. Shareholders who currently receive multiple copies of shareholder meeting materials at their addresses and would like to request “householding” of their communications should contact their brokers.

22.    PARTICULARS OF OTHER MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON

Other than the foregoing, management of the Corporation knows of no other matter to come before the Meeting other than those referred to in the Notice of Meeting. However, if any other matters which are not known to the management should properly come before the Meeting, the accompanying form of proxy confers discretionary authority upon the persons named therein to vote on such matters in accordance with their best judgment.

23.    ANNUAL REPORT AND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

A copy of the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “2023 Annual Report”), including the financial statements and the financial statement schedules, if any, but not including exhibits, will be furnished at no charge to a shareholder upon the written request of such person addressed by mail to 625 E.
