Virtual Meeting
To help mitigate health and safety risks to the community, shareholders, employees and other stakeholders, our Meeting will be held in a virtual-only format. Technology is re-shaping many traditional business practices. Using technology to allow virtual participation is a way to make the Meeting more relevant, accessible and engaging for all involved, by permitting a broader base of shareholders to participate in the Meeting – regardless of their geographic location.
Registered Shareholders
Before the Meeting, you have the option of voting by proxy on the internet, by telephone / smartphone, or by mail. You can also vote in person (virtually) at the Meeting, or you can use your proxy form to appoint another person to attend the virtual Meeting and act on your behalf.
Non-Registered (Beneficial) Shareholders
You must vote using your voting instruction form, which allows you to vote by proxy on the internet, by telephone / smartphone, or by mail. To vote in person (virtually) at the Meeting, you must appoint yourself as a proxyholder.
If you vote by proxy on the internet, by telephone / smartphone, or by mail in advance of the Meeting, your vote will be counted regardless if you attend the virtual Meeting. Please refer to your proxy form or voting instruction form, as applicable, and to the “Registered and Beneficial Shareholder Voting” section on page 4 of this document. Vermilion may utilize the Broadridge QuickVoteTM service to assist shareholders with voting their shares. Beneficial shareholders who have not objected to Vermilion knowing who they are may be contacted by Laurel Hill Advisory Group (“Laurel Hill”) to conveniently vote directly over the phone.
Your vote is important to us.
