JUST ENERGY FOUNDATION FISCAL 2017 HIGHLIGHTS

Everywhere we operate, Just Energy has always believed in contributing to the health and well-being of communities in need. We created the Just Energy Foundation to help support Canadian and U.S. charitable organizations by providing them with resources that, in turn, are shared with an array of worthwhile programs that help people who need help. Just Energy also supports its employees in their efforts to make a positive difference in people’s lives.

·On October 13, 2016, approximately 50 Just Energy staff from across Canada and the United States joined with the Just Energy Foundation and Volunteer Houston, along with teachers, staff and students at Brookline Elementary in Houston, to break ground on the first Just Energy Sustainable Garden.

·MLSE Foundation is our teammate on the Community Action Grants program. Through this initiative, every Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment sport (hockey, basketball and soccer) makes a $50,000 grant to a charity that gives disadvantaged youth a chance to participate in that sport. In fiscal year 2017, $50,000 Community Action Grants went to Lady Ballers Camp (April 2016), Woodgreen Community Services (August 2016) and Hockey 4 Youth (March 2017).

·At our sales leadership summit in October 2016, more than 200 energy advisors from Canada and the United States joined together to “give back” to the local community. The energy advisors raised $5,800 and Just Energy matched it for a total of $11,600. The funds were donated to two orphanages in Puerto Vallarta. The money was used to purchase beds, mattresses, water filtration and security systems, and other much-needed supplies.

·The Goodwill Ambassador Program (GAP) gives each Just Energy employee a day off during the year to volunteer at a charity of his or her choice. In 2017, 157 employees made use of this opportunity to donate their time to local organizations such as food banks, shelters, services to the poor, homeless and vulnerable, as well as hospitals and education programs for youth.

Dear Fellow Shareholder:

This is a momentous time for our Company: our 20th anniversary in the retail energy space. What started as a natural gas retailer in Ontario, Canada, in 1997 has successfully grown and transformed into what we are today – a leading independent retailer of energy management solutions with a multinational, customer-centric approach.

Over the past several years, our executive management team focused on addressing a number of issues, undertook challenging tasks and made tough decisions, including deleveraging the Company significantly, selling-off non-core assets and creating a customer-centric strategy internally and externally. This has allowed us to be where we are today – in the process of successfully executing a global enterprise strategy that is aggressively pursuing profitable growth on a mission to become the world’s leading global energy management solutions provider delivering comfort, convenience and control to our customers around the globe.

In an industry that has undergone significant change, we have weathered challenges that saw the exit of other less-grounded players. There is no other independent retailer in the world with the stability, product depth, sales channel diversity and geographic scope of Just Energy. In the years ahead, we will continue guiding the business toward a clear vision for the future by positioning Just Energy to capitalize on where we see the energy sector heading, what we believe customers will want next, and where we know opportunities for new markets exist.

We believe we can continue disrupting the utility markets with new products and channels while creating deep residential and commercial customer relationships to grow the business. We have an efficient capital structure in place and a sustainable payout ratio. We’re moving forward with a very strong balance sheet and restored financial flexibility. This strength comes at a time when the industry is once again changing, and will allow us to focus our resources and make necessary investments to aggressively pursue our growth strategy.

We believe energy plays a significant role in the changing home ecosystem and we are firmly focused on addressing growth opportunities around the rapidly changing ways that consumers use energy. Our product pipeline to meet the growing market opportunities is robust, continues to improve, and remains a top strategic priority for our organization. From smart thermostats to personalized home consumption insight reports, LED bulbs, furnace filters and smart home irrigation controllers, we are empowering consumers with the tools and information they need to find the comfort, control and convenience they want. We are clearing a path as a trusted advisor providing energy efficiency and water conservation solutions for anyone who uses energy – and that is everyone!

Everything we do, we do in the context of the customer experience. Technological advancements give us the ability to process millions of data points, giving us unparalleled insight into how our consumers behave and think. Customers are telling us what they want and how they want it – it is changing all the time and the needs are more demanding than ever. Evolving technology and more informed, empowered consumers are the most influential factors in our business today.

We must not only keep pace with customer needs, but learn to anticipate the future and deliver unparalleled customer value. For the past three years we executed on several initiatives that reduced debt, cleaned up the balance sheet and laid out a clear vision for the future. As a management team, we are now moving into a period of executing on our growth strategy, and we believe there is no one better positioned than Just Energy to be the global leader in energy management and efficiency solutions for consumers near and far.

Our commitment to our customers has never wavered, and we thank them for their continued loyalty. We also wish to thank our Board of Directors for their continued support of our mission, as well as all our employees for their tireless dedication.

We look forward to seeing you at the meeting.

Sincerely,
Rebecca MacDonald Executive Chair

KEY TERMS

The following table provides definitions for terms that are used throughout this Circular.

Base EBITDA	EBITDA adjusted to exclude the mark to market gains (losses) arising from IFRS requirements for derivative financial instruments on future supply positions. This measure reflects operating profitability as mark to market gains (losses) are associated with supply already sold at future fixed prices.
Board	Board of Directors of the Company
Company or Just Energy	Just Energy Group Inc.
DSG	Deferred Share Grant issued to directors pursuant to the 2010 Directors Compensation Plan, as amended from time to time.
Embedded Gross Margin	A rolling five-year measure of management’s estimate of future contracted energy gross margin. The energy marketing embedded margin is the difference between existing customer contract prices and the cost of supply for the remainder of term, with appropriate assumptions for customer attrition and renewals as calculated in Just Energy’s MD&A.
Funds from Operations	The net cash available for distribution through dividends to shareholders. Funds from Operations is calculated by Just Energy as gross margin adjusted for cash items including administrative expenses, selling and marketing expenses, bad debt expenses, finance costs, corporate taxes, capital taxes and other items. The gross margin used includes a seasonal adjustment for the gas markets in Ontario, Quebec, Manitoba and Michigan in order to include cash received.
PBG	Performance Bonus Grant issued pursuant to the Company’s 2013 Performance Bonus Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time.
RSG	Restricted Share Grant issued pursuant to the Company’s 2010 Restricted Share Grant Plan, as amended from time to time
Shareholders	Holders of common shares.
Total Shareholder Return or TSR	The percentage increase (decrease) during a Fiscal Year of the market value of Just Energy’s common shares based on the closing market price for Just Energy’s common shares on the TSX on the last day of the Fiscal Year plus the total dividends paid on such shares over during the Fiscal Year.

Currency

Unless otherwise identified, all amounts in this Circular are in Canadian dollars.

Non-GAAP Measures

In the Circular, Just Energy has used terms that are not defined by GAAP, including Base EBITDA, Embedded Gross Margin and Funds From Operations (as defined above), but are used by management to evaluate performance of Just Energy and its business. Since Non-GAAP financial measures do not have standardized meanings prescribed by GAAP and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by

|1

other companies, securities regulations require that Non-GAAP financial measures are clearly defined, qualified and reconciled to their nearest GAAP measures. Except as otherwise indicated, these Non-GAAP financial measures are calculated and disclosed on a consistent basis from period to period. Specific adjusting items may only be relevant in certain periods. The intent of Non-GAAP financial measures is to provide additional useful information to investors and analysts and the measures do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS. The measures should not, therefore, be considered in isolation or used in substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. Other issuers may calculate Non-GAAP financial measures differently. Investors should be cautioned that they should not be construed as alternatives to net earnings, cash flow from operating activities or other measures of financial results determined in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of Just Energy’s performance.

This proxy circular is provided in connection with the solicitation of proxies by management of Just Energy for use at the annual meeting of its shareholders or at any adjournment or postponement thereof (the “Meeting”). In this document “you” and “your” refer to the shareholders of, and “Just Energy”, the “Company” or “we”, “us”, “our”, refer to, Just Energy Group Inc.

VOTING – QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

VOTING AND PROXIES

Who can vote?

Shareholders who are registered as at the close of business on May 17, 2017 (the “record date”), will be entitled to vote at the meeting or at any adjournment or postponement thereof, either in person or by proxy.

As of the close of business on May 17, 2017, 147,013,538 common shares (“Common Shares”) in the capital of Just Energy were issued and outstanding. Each common share carries the right to one vote.

To the knowledge of the directors and senior offices of Just Energy based on the most recent publicly available information at May 17, 2017, two persons exercised control or direction over shares carrying 10% or more of the voting rights attached to the Common Shares of Just Energy. Jim Pattison, through the Great Pacific Capital Corp. and The Jim Pattison Foundation, beneficially owns, or directly or indirectly controls, a total of 24,221,842 (16.5%) of Just Energy’s Common Shares and Ron Joyce, through Jetport Inc., beneficially owns, or directly or indirectly controls, 19,200,000 (13.1%) of Just Energy’s common shares.

Who is soliciting my proxy?

Management of Just Energy is soliciting your proxy. The solicitation is being made primarily by mail, but our directors, officers or employees may also solicit proxies at a nominal cost to Just Energy.

|3

What is Quorum for the Meeting?

At the meeting, a quorum shall consist of two or more persons either present in person or represented by proxy and representing in the aggregate not less than 25% of the outstanding Common Shares. If a quorum is not present at the meeting within one half hour after the time fixed for the holding of the meeting, it shall stand adjourned to such day being not less than 14 days later and to such place and time as may be determined by the chair of the meeting. At such meeting, the Shareholders present either personally or by proxy shall form a quorum. In the event of a tie or deadlock vote at the meeting, the chair may not cast a deciding vote.

Am I a registered or beneficial Shareholder?

If your shares are registered on the record date directly in your name with Just Energy’s transfer agent, you are considered with respect to those shares to be a “registered shareholder”. The proxy circular and proxy have been sent directly to you by Computershare Trust Company of Canada.

If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or financial intermediary or other nominee, you are considered the “beneficial Shareholder” of shares held in street name. The proxy circular has been forwarded to you by your broker, bank, financial intermediary or other nominee who is considered, with respect to those shares, the registered shareholder. As the beneficial Shareholder, you have the right to direct your broker, bank, financial intermediary or other nominee how to vote your shares by using the voting instruction card included in the mailing or by following their instructions for voting.

How will matters be decided at the meeting?

A simple majority of the votes cast, in person or by proxy, will constitute approval for each matter to be voted upon.

How do I vote if I am a registered Shareholder?

1.   Voting By Proxy

You are a registered shareholder if your name appears on your share certificate. If this is the case, you may appoint someone else to vote for you as your proxy holder by using the enclosed form of proxy. The persons currently named as proxies in such form of proxy are the executive chair and the lead director of Just Energy. However, you have the right to appoint any other person or company (who need not be a shareholder) to attend and act on your behalf at the meeting. That right may be exercised by writing the name of such person or company in the blank space provided in the form of proxy or by completing another proper form of proxy. Make sure that the person you appoint is aware that he or she is appointed and attends the meeting.

(i)    How can I send my form of proxy?

You can either (i) return a duly completed and executed form of proxy to the transfer agent and registrar for Just Energy’s common shares, Computershare Trust Company of Canada, in the envelope provided, or (ii) you can vote as indicated above by following the instructions on the form of proxy.

(ii)   What is the deadline for receiving the form of proxy?

The deadline for receiving duly completed forms of proxy or a vote following any one of the other two options as indicated above is 10:00 a.m. EDT on June 23, 2017, or if the meeting is adjourned or postponed, by no later than 10:00 a.m. EDT on the business day prior to the day fixed for the adjourned or postponed meeting.

4  |

Please see below under the heading “How will my common shares be voted if I return a proxy?” for more information.

2.   Voting in Person

If you wish to vote in person, you may present yourself to a representative of Computershare Trust Company of Canada at the registration table. Your vote will be taken and counted at the meeting. If you wish to vote in person at the meeting, do not complete or return the form of proxy.

How do I vote if I am a non-registered shareholder?

If your common shares are not registered in your name and are held in the name of a nominee such as a trustee, financial institution or securities broker, you are a “non-registered shareholder”. If, as is usually the case, your common shares are listed in an account statement provided to you by your broker or other nominee or custodian, those common shares will, in all likelihood, not be registered in your name. Such common shares will more likely be registered under the name of your broker, or an agent of that broker or other nominee or custodian. Without specific instructions, Canadian brokers and their agents or nominees are prohibited from voting shares for the broker’s client. If you are a non-registered shareholder, there are two ways, listed below, that you can vote your common shares:

1.   Giving Your Voting Instructions (Voting By Proxy)

Applicable securities laws require your nominee to seek voting instructions from you in advance of the meeting. Accordingly, you will receive or have already received from your nominee a request for voting instructions for the number of common shares you hold. The persons currently named as proxies are the executive chair and the lead director of Just Energy. However, you have the right to appoint any other person or company (who need not be a shareholder) to attend and act on your behalf at the meeting. Every nominee has its own mailing procedures and provides its own signature and return instructions, which should be carefully followed by non-registered shareholders to ensure that their common share are voted at the meeting.

2.   Voting in Person

If you wish to vote in person at the meeting, insert your name in the space provided on the request for voting instructions provided by your nominee to appoint yourself as proxy holder and follow the signature and return instructions of your nominee. Non-registered shareholders who appoint themselves as proxy holders should present themselves at the meeting to a representative of Computershare Trust Company of Canada. Do not otherwise complete the request for voting instructions sent to you as you will be voting at the meeting.

How will my common shares be voted if I return a proxy?

By completing and returning a proxy, you are authorizing the person named in the proxy to attend the Meeting and vote your Common Shares on each item of business according to your instructions. If you have appointed the designated directors or officers of Just Energy as your proxy and you do not provide them with instructions, they will vote your common shares as follows:

·   FOR the election of the nominees as directors to the Board;

·FOR the re-appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as auditors and the authorization of the directors to fix the auditor’s remuneration;

·   FOR the advisory resolution approving Just Energy’s approach to executive compensation; and

|5

·FOR the transaction of such other business as may properly be brought before the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. As of May 25, 2017, no director or officer of the Company is aware of any variation, amendment or other matter to be presented for a vote at the Meeting.

What if I change my mind?

You may revoke your proxy at any time by completing a proxy form or voting instruction form that is dated later than the proxy form or voting instruction form you are changing, and delivering it as indicated above at any time up to 10:00 a.m. EDT on June 23, 2017, or if the meeting is adjourned or postponed, by no later than 10:00 a.m. EDT on the business day prior to the day fixed for the adjourned or postponed meeting.

If you are a registered Shareholder, you can also revoke a vote you made by sending a notice in writing from you or your authorized attorney to our Corporate Secretary of Just Energy at the registered office of Just Energy (First Canadian Place, 100 King Street West, Suite 2630, Toronto, Ontario M5X 1E1) at any time up to and including 10:00 a.m. EDT on June 23, 2017 or on the last business day preceding the day of the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof; or by giving notice with the Chair of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, or in any other matter permitted by law.

How can I contact the transfer agent?

You can contact the transfer agent either by mail at Computershare Trust Company of Canada, 100 University Ave., 9th Floor, North Tower, Toronto, Ontario M5J 2Y1 or by fax at 1 866 249-7775.

BUSINESS OF THE MEETING

Just Energy’s Financial Statements

We will place before the Meeting our consolidated financial statements, including the related auditor’s report, for the year ended March 31, 2017. Our financial statements are included in our 2017 Annual Report. The Annual Report will be mailed to shareholders who requested a copy. Our financial statements are also available on our website at www.justenergygroup.com, on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov.

On May 17, 2017 the Board approved the consolidated audited financial statements of Just Energy for the year ended March 31, 2017. Under the Canada Business Corporations Act, the corporate legislation which governs Just Energy, the financial statements are required to be mailed to shareholders that elect to receive them but no shareholder vote is required. You will however be entitled to ask questions of financial management at the meeting.

Electing Directors

You will be electing a Board consisting of 9 members. The nominees proposed for election as directors were recommended to the board by the nominating and governance committee and are listed below. All of the nominees, except Mr. Ross, are currently directors of Just Energy.

John A. Brussa	James Lewis	Brett A. Perlman
R. Scott Gahn	Rebecca MacDonald	M. Dallas H. Ross
H. Clark Hollands	Deborah Merril	William F. Weld

6  |

Please refer to the section entitled “Directors” on page 14 of this Circular for biographies and more information on the nominees. Directors elected at the Meeting will serve until the end of Just Energy’s next annual shareholders’ meeting or until their resignation, if earlier.

The Board recommends a vote FOR each of the 9 director nominees.

If one of the designated directors or officers is your proxyholder and you have not given instructions on how to vote your Common Shares, he or she will vote “FOR” the election of each of the 9 nominees in this Circular. If a proposed nominee is unable to serve as a director or withdraws his or her name, the individuals named in your form of proxy or voting instruction form reserve the right to nominate and vote for another individual in their discretion. Management has no reason to believe that any of the nominees for election as directors will be unable to serve if elected to office and management is not aware of any amendment or other business likely to be brought before the meeting.

The nominee directors are being elected on an individual, as opposed to a slate, basis. The board of Just Energy has adopted a policy which requires that any nominee for director who receives a greater number of votes “withheld” than votes “for” his or her election as a director shall submit his or her resignation to the nominating and governance committee for consideration promptly following the meeting. The nominating and governance committee shall consider the resignation and shall recommend to the board of Just Energy whether to accept it. The board will consider the recommendation and determine whether to accept it within 90 days of the Meeting and a news release will be issued by Just Energy announcing the board’s determination. A director who tenders his or her resignation will not participate in any meetings to consider whether the resignation shall be accepted.

Appointing the Auditor

The Board recommends a vote FOR the re-appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as Just Energy’s auditor.

The Board, on the recommendation of the Audit Committee, proposes that Ernst & Young LLP (“EY”) be re-appointed as auditors of Just Energy until the end of the next annual shareholders’ meeting and that the Board be authorized to set the auditor’s remuneration. EY has served as Just Energy’s auditors since 2010. EY Canada is a member firm of Ernst & Young Global, which employs 190,000 people in more than 700 offices in 150 countries. EY Canada is headquartered in Toronto, Ontario and has offices in 17 locations across Canada. The U.S. firm is headquartered in New York City and has offices in more than 80 locations across the U.S. EY provides a full range of assurance, tax, advisory and transaction services to clients across a range of industries, including many energy companies. In order to be effective, the resolution re-appointing EY as auditors and authorizing the directors to fix their remuneration must receive the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by Shareholders in person or by proxy.

If one of the designated directors or officers is your proxyholder and you have not given instructions on how to vote your Common Shares, he or she will vote “FOR” the appointment of EY as Just Energy’s auditors.

|7

What were EY’s Fees for F2017 and F2016?

	F2017	F2016
Audit Fees(1)	1,311,100	$1,349,500
Audit Related Fees(2)	320,000	255,000
Tax Fees(3)	556,658	534,700
Other Fees	97,520	Nil
Total(4)	2,285,278	$2,139,200

(1)Audit Fees include fees for services rendered by EY in relation to the audit and review of Just Energy’s financial statements and in connection with the Company’s statutory and regulatory filings.

(2)In fiscal 2017, audit-related fees primarily related to the audit of Just Energy’s consolidated financial statements as well as stand-alone subsidiary audits required for regulatory filings.

(3)       The majority of the tax fees are related to tax compliance.

(4)The Audit Committee of Just Energy has considered whether the magnitude and nature of these services is compatible with maintaining the independence of the external auditors and is satisfied that they are. All services provided by EY were pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

Say on Pay Advisory Vote

The Board has adopted a non-binding advisory vote relating to executive compensation to solicit feedback on our approach to executive compensation. Shareholders have the opportunity to vote “For” or “Against” the Company’s approach to executive compensation through the following advisory resolution:

“RESOLVED that, on an advisory basis and not to diminish the role or responsibilities of the board of directors, the shareholders accept the approach to executive compensation disclosed in the Information Circular and delivered in connection with the 2017 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders of the Corporation.”

   The Board recommends a vote FOR approval of the advisory vote on executive compensation.

As this is an advisory vote, the results will not be binding on the Board. However, Just Energy’s Say on Pay Policy provides that if a significant proportion of the common shares represented in person or by proxy at the meeting are voted against the advisory resolution, the lead director of the board will oversee a process to seek to better understand opposing shareholders’ specific concerns. The compensation committee will consider the results of this process and, as it considers appropriate, will review the approach to executive compensation in the context of shareholders’ specific concerns and may take recommendations to the board for implementation by the compensation committee.

At Just Energy’s June 28, 2016 annual meeting 98.7% of the votes cast by shareholders approved, in an advisory, non-binding capacity, Just Energy’s approach to executive compensation.

If one of the designated directors or officers is your proxyholder and you have not given instructions on how to vote your Common Shares, he or she will vote “FOR” the approval of the advisory vote on executive compensation.

Other Business

Following the conclusion of the formal business to be conducted at the Meeting, we will present a report on Just Energy’s F2017 financial results and outlook, as well as invite questions and comments from Shareholders.

8  |

As of the date of this Circular, management is not aware of any changes to the items listed above and does not expect any other business to be brought forward at the Meeting. If there are changes or new business, if you do not provide your proxyholder with instructions, your proxyholder can vote your Common Shares on these items as he or she sees fit.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRACTICES

Just Energy is committed to maintaining high standards of corporate governance and continually assesses its governance practices against evolving policies, practices and legal requirements. Schedule A of this Circular contains a detailed description of our corporate governance practices in accordance with the rules and standards of the Canadian Securities Administrators, the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) and the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).

The Board is responsible for the stewardship of the Company. Its role is to provide effective leadership and oversight of Just Energy. Just Energy has officers and employees responsible for the day-to-day management and conduct of the businesses of Just Energy and the implementation of the strategic plan and approved by the Board. Fundamentally, the Board seeks to ensure that the Company conducts its business with integrity and a view to creating sustainable and long-term value and profitable growth. Supported by its committees, the Board’s processes are designed to achieve an appropriate degree of independence from management; to monitor the risk management framework of the Company, including the integrity of its approaches to hedging the supply of natural gas, electricity and green products; to oversee succession planning; and to consider, approve and monitor the Company’s strategic, operating, capital and financial plans. The duties and responsibilities of the Board are set out in a written mandate of the Board which can be found attached to this Circular as Schedule B and on the Company’s website at www.justenergygroup.com.

To assist the Board with its fiduciary responsibilities, the Board is currently supported by the following four standing committees:

·   Audit Committee;

·   Risk Committee;

·   Compensation, Human Resources, Environmental and Health and Safety Committee; and

·   Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

The Board was also supported by a Finance Committee during Fiscal 2015 and Fiscal 2016. However, it was dissolved by the Board on February 8, 2017, as the Company had completed the refinancing of its significant maturing debt instruments.

Independent Majority

As indicated in the Circular and as required by applicable legislation and regulation including the NYSE listing standards, 6 of the 9 persons standing for election are independent. Accordingly, two-thirds of Just Energy’s directors are currently independent as defined by applicable stock exchange and securities legislation. All directors currently serving as members of the compensation committee, the risk committee and the audit committee, are independent. The board of directors has determined and declared that the relationship of John Brussa as a partner at a law firm which represents Just Energy in selected matters is not such as to impair his independent judgment as a director and accordingly, except for purposes of the audit committee and the compensation committee, he can be regarded as independent for purposes of the Board and all other Board committees.

Board Rejuvenation and Diversity

The board of Just Energy approved a retirement policy for directors which, in effect, requires non-management directors to step down from the board on the earlier of: (a) 15 years of service from the date they were appointed or elected or starting from Just Energy’s April 2001 initial public offering and (b) attaining age 75. Special circumstances may exist or arise when it is in Just Energy’s best interests to waive the policy for up to maximum of three years based on a director’s contribution and expertise subject to solid annual performance assessments and shareholder approval. Mr. Sladoje is retiring from the board on June 27, 2017 pursuant to this policy. On May 18, 2016 the nominating and governance committee has determined that an exception should be made for Mr. Brussa for three years, due to his extensive contribution and expertise.

In addition, the board has adopted a policy to encourage greater board diversity and renewal. We consider diversity of gender, ethnicity, age, business experience, functional expertise, personal skills, stakeholder perspectives and geography as factors to consider in identifying new directors. To implement the board’s objective a total of three new independent directors were appointed to the Just Energy board in 2012 and 2013 and an additional five new directors, three of whom are independent, were appointed in 2015. Dallas Ross, a new nominee director, is currently standing for election.

Clawback Policy

On February 9, 2012 the board approved a Clawback Policy entitled “Recoupment Upon Restatement or Misstatement of Financial Results” which provides that if, in the opinion of the independent directors of the Board, Just Energy’s financial results are restated due in whole or in part to intentional fraud or misconduct by one or more of Just Energy’s executive officers the independent directors have the discretion to use their best efforts to remedy the fraud or misconduct and prevent its recurrence. Just Energy’s independent directors may, based upon the facts and circumstances surrounding the restatement, direct that Just Energy recover all or a portion of any bonus or incentive compensation paid, or cancel all, or part of, the stock-based awards granted, to an executive officer. The remedies that may be sought by the independent directors are subject to a number of conditions, including, that: (i) the bonus or incentive compensation to be recouped was based on the achievement of objective financial or other similar criteria or factors as provided for in the executive officer’s employment contract and was calculated based upon the financial results that were restated, (ii) the executive officer in question engaged in the intentional misconduct, (iii) the bonus or incentive compensation calculated or to be calculated under the restated financial results is less than the amount actually paid or awarded or to be paid or awarded, and (iv) no remedy, action or proceeding for the recovery of any amount from an executive officer that is provided for in the policy may be commenced after a period of three years from the date such executive’s employment is terminated for whatever reason.

Directors to be Elected on an Individual Basis

As a corporate governance initiative, the nominee directors are being elected on an individual, as opposed to a slate, basis. The board of Just Energy has adopted a policy which requires that any nominee for director who receives a greater number of votes “withheld” than votes “for” his or her election as a director shall submit his or her resignation to the nominating and governance committee for consideration promptly following the

|11

meeting. The nominating and governance committee shall consider the resignation and shall recommend to the board of Just Energy whether to accept it. The board will consider the recommendation and determine whether to accept it within 90 days of the meeting and a news release will be issued by Just Energy announcing the board’s determination. A director who tenders his or her resignation will not participate in any meetings to consider whether the resignation shall be accepted.

Women on Boards

To address National Instrument 58-101 entitled “Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices”, the board of Just Energy amended its policy on Board Diversity and Renewal to include as a guideline and target that at a minimum, one third of Just Energy’s directors should, within a reasonable period of time, be women. At present, 20% of Board are women, an increase from 11% in 2014/2015. After the June 27, 2017 annual meeting, 22% of the Board will be comprised of women, if all of the nominees are elected.

Board Overboarding

On February 10, 2016, the directors of Just Energy unanimously approved amending Just Energy’s “Board Overboarding” to be consistent with International Shareholders Services’ and Glass Lewis’ revised policies coming into force in 2017. The revised guideline provides that as a principle of good corporate governance, (i) non-management directors of Just Energy should not serve on the boards of more than four publicly listed companies; and (ii) management directors shall not serve on the board of more than two publicly listed companies. The nominating and governance committee, after a consideration of all the circumstances, may determine annually, prior to the election of directors, to waive the guideline for persons who in exceptional circumstances with unique experience and expertise, should not be constrained from serving on the board, provided that such a director maintains an attendance record of at least 80% of all board and Committee meetings. The nominating and governance committee has determined that the guidelines should not apply to John Brussa due to his expertise and extensive contribution.

Anti-Hedging Policy

On August 10, 2016, the Board adopted an Anti-Hedging Policy for Just Energy. Under the policy, no Director, officer or senior employee of Just Energy may purchase financial instruments, including prepaid variable forward contracts, instruments for the short sale or purchase or sale of call or put options, equity swaps, collars, or units of exchangeable funds that are based on fluctuations of the Company’s debt or equity instruments and that are designed to or that may reasonably be expected to have the effect of hedging or offsetting a decrease in the market value of any securities of the Company. Such transactions, while allowing the holder to own the Company’s securities without the full risks and rewards of ownership, potentially separate the holder’s interests from those of other stakeholders and, particularly in the case of equity securities, from the public shareholders of the Company. The objective of this Policy is therefore to prohibit those subject to it from directly or indirectly engaging in hedging against future declines in the market value of any securities of the Company through the purchase of financial instruments designed to offset such risk and thereby maintaining alignment with the other stakeholders of the Company.

Director Orientation and Continuing Education

The Board has approved, as a corporate governance initiative, a policy to formalize its approach to a comprehensive orientation plan for new directors and a policy to encourage directors to participate in continuing education. The intent of the policies is to ensure that: (i) new directors, whether appointed to fill a vacancy on the Board or to be elected at an annual meeting, be required to participate in a comprehensive orientation program to familiarize them with Just Energy’s business, board policies and committee structure, their fiduciary duties and responsibilities as directors and the contribution they are expected to make to the deliberations of the Board and Board committees, and (ii) a program is in place to ensure all directors will have access to education and information on an ongoing basis, both internal and external, pertaining to matters in

12  |

(i) above and to board effectiveness, the best practices associated with successful boards, briefings on strategy, succession planning and risk, so as to enable them to carry out their duties and responsibilities as outlined in the Just Energy board mandate and the mandate for individual directors both of which are published on Just Energy’s website www.justenergygroup.com. Mr. Perlman obtained certification as a Governance Fellow from the National Association of Corporate Directors in recognition of his commitment to ongoing professional development and training as a corporate director. Each of Messrs. Perlman and Sladoje has attended conferences on director education at Just Energy’s expense hosted by the NACD in Houston, Washington, Atlanta and Chicago.

Share Ownership

The board has a current policy that requires non-management directors to receive fifteen percent of their annual base retainer in director deferred share grants (“DSGs”) or common shares and requires directors to own a minimum of two times the value of their annual base retainer of $125,000 ($250,000) in common shares and DSGs within five years of their appointment or election to the board. Fees are not paid to directors who are members of executive management. Messrs. Gahn, Hollands, Perlman and Weld are not currently compliant, however each of Messrs. Gahn, Hollands and Perlman have 5 years from the date of their appointment or election to the Board to become compliant. Mr. Weld has committed to be compliant by June 2018. If appointed, Mr. Ross will have 5 years to comply.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

Our approach to compensation for non-management directors is intended to achieve the following goals:

·Attract and retain highly qualified individuals with the capability to meet the responsibilities of Board members, which recognizes the increasing responsibilities, time commitments and accountability of Board members;

·Ensure the long-term interests of directors and shareholders are aligned; and

·Appropriately reflect the risks and complexity of our business.

Director Compensation Structure

The Compensation Committee periodically reviews director compensation to ensure that it is reasonable in the context of the time required from directors to achieve the objectives noted above.

Annual Retainer

Non-management directors receive an annual retainer of $125,000 in the currency of the country of their residency in four installments following the end of each quarter of service as a Board member. At least 15% of their annual retainer must be in the form of DSGs. There are no additional meeting fees for our directors.

Additional Retainers for Certain Directors

Certain directors receive additional retainers that are paid quarterly in cash:

·Lead Director: The Lead Director receives an additional $25,000 annually due to the broad responsibilities of this position.

·Audit Committee Chair: The Audit Committee Chair receives an additional $25,000 due to the workload and broad responsibilities of the committee.

·Other Committee Chairs: Other Committee Chairs receive an additional $5,000 annually due to the workload and responsibilities of these committees.

Deferred Share Grants (DSGs)

Each DSG is exchangeable for one common share and is fully vested upon grant. However, DSGs may not be exchanged for common shares until the earlier of: (i) three years from the grant date, (ii) the day such director ceases to be a director of Just Energy and (iii) a change of control, providing that no common shares may be issued in exchange for DSGs after the expiry of 15 years from the Grant Date. For more information on DSGs, please refer ‘‘Directors Compensation Plan’’ on page 39 of this Circular.

No Other Compensation

Non-executive directors do not receive any cash incentive compensation or pension benefits. Directors who are officers of the Company, namely Ms. MacDonald, Ms. Merril and Mr. Lewis, do not receive any compensation for their services as directors.

Equity Ownership Requirement

Each non-executive director is required to own a number of Shares and/or DSGs such that the value thereof at the commencement of each financial year of the Corporation shall equal at least two times the value of the Base Retainer received by such Director for the financial year of the Corporation. New Directors have five years from the date of their appointment or election to become compliant with the equity holding requirement.

Compensation Principles and Philosophy

Just Energy is committed to transparency in communicating with investors, customers, regulators and the public. This commitment extends to the decisions we make about compensation. Shareholders are entitled to a clear understanding of executive compensation and the considerations that drive our decision-making process each year.

Our compensation philosophy is designed to support the creation of long-term value for our shareholders. The core principles of Just Energy’s approach to compensation can be summarized as follows:

·Provide market competitive compensation designed to attract, motivate and retain highly qualified and top-performing executives.

·Reinforce shareholder alignment by including a significant portion of variable (at risk) and equity based compensation and requiring certain executives to meet significant share-ownership guidelines.

The Compensation Committee

The compensation, human resources, environmental, health and safety committee (the ‘‘Compensation Committee’’) has, with the Board of Just Energy, responsibility for executive compensation. The Compensation Committee consists of four independent directors: Messrs. Sladoje (Chair), Gahn, Perlman and Weld. The duties and responsibilities of the Compensation Committee are described in the Compensation Committee mandate included at Schedule C, which includes the authority to retain compensation consultants. Each NEO’s performance and related salary level, annual short term discretionary performance bonuses, long term targeted incentive bonuses, the use of RSGs/PBGs and minimum common share ownership requirements, are reviewed annually by the Compensation Committee in conjunction with the executive chair and the Co-Presidents and Co-CEOs of Just Energy. All NEO compensation packages are subject to the approval of the Compensation Committee and the board. While compensation consultants were retained in each of the years 2015, 2016 and 2017, the compensation decisions with respect to the NEOs are the exclusive responsibility of the Compensation Committee and the Board.

Our Approach to Executive Compensation

Just Energy’s compensation package for senior employees of the Company, including the NEOs, consists of a base salary and benefits, annual short-term bonus and long-term incentive programs. The Company provides a significant proportion of variable (‘‘at risk’’) compensation through its short-term and long-term incentive programs, including a significant portion of compensation being in the form of RSGs, PBGs and LTR-RSGs designed to attract and retain key executives, align compensation with the Company’s risk profile and focus senior executives attention on creating long-term, sustainable value for Shareholders.

For F2017, the average NEO compensation was approximately 57% variable (or ‘‘at risk’’), with all 57% paid in share-based awards.

Compensation Elements

The following table summarizes the elements of Just Energy’s executive compensation:

			Performance
Compensation Elements(1)	Components	Form	/Vesting Period	Objectives
Base Salary	Fixed	Cash	1 year	·Attraction and retention ·Provide fixed level of income
Short Term Incentive Bonus	Variable	Cash Bonus	1 year	·Reward contribution to overall Company performance in the past year ·Motivate to meet annual corporate and individual goals ·Attraction and retention
Long Term Incentive Bonus	Variable	RSGs/PBGs	3 years	·Management and Shareholder Alignment ·Motivate to create longer term Company value ·Attraction and retention.
Long Term Retention Bonus(2)	Variable	LTR-RSGs	5 years	·Management and Shareholder Alignment ·Motivate to create longer term shareholder value ·Attraction and retention
Benefits	Other	Health, dental, life insurance, profit sharing, etc.	Ongoing	·Provide market competitive benefits ·Attraction and retention

Notes:

(1)While options are available to the compensation committee to provide a longer-term incentive for executives to enhance shareholder value, options have not been used as a component of NEO compensation in the past six years and, in the view of the compensation committee, options are not likely to be used for the foreseeable future as a component of NEO compensation.

(2)Granted to Executive Chair, Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer in 2014 and 2015. See discussion on pages 31 and 32 of this Circular.

As detailed in the chart below, as at March 31, 2017, the six active NEOs held an aggregate total of 9,092,632 common shares, RSGs and PBGs of the Company, representing 6.2% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Just Energy.

	Common	Market Value of	RSGs/PBGs	Market Value of
Name & Position	Shares Held	Common Shares(1)	Held(2)	RSGs/ PBGs(1)	Total Value(1)(3)

Morgan Smith Chief Sales Officer(4)	NIL	NIL	20,000	$167,000	$167,000

Notes:

(1)Based on the closing price of $8.35 as of March 31, 2017 of the Common Shares.

(2)Includes the 200,000 LTR RSGs granted to each of Ms. MacDonald, Ms. Merril, Mr. Lewis and the 100,000 LTR-RSGs granted to Mr. McCullough in 2014.

(3)Mr. Kasiviswanathan also holds 1,000 Series A Preferred Shares of the Company with a value of $25,000, based on the closing price of $25.00 on March 31, 2017 of the Preferred Shares.

(4)Mr. Smith commenced employment with Just Energy on March 14, 2016.

(5)Under their current employment agreements, each of Ms. Merril, Mr. Lewis and Mr. McCullough is required, at the end of each financial quarter of Just Energy to own after a specified date in their respective employment agreements (the ‘‘Specified Date’’), a number of shares of Just Energy (including RSGs/PBGs, whether or not vested) equal to a multiple of each such NEO’s base salary for the most recently completed fiscal year preceding the Specified Date. In the event of a sudden and significant decrease in the value of the common shares of Just Energy after any such Specified Date, the Compensation Committee will give the NEO a reasonable period of time to comply with the requirement having regard to all circumstances. Mr. Lewis and Ms. Merril are required to own by March 31, 2019 common shares and RSGs having a value equal to five times their base salary. Both are complaint with this requirement as of March 31, 2017. Mr. McCullough is required to own by March 31, 2018 common shares and RSGs having a value equal to two times his base salary. As of March 31, 2017, Mr. McCullough was compliant. While Ms. MacDonald does not have an ownership requirement, as at March 31, 2017 she held common shares, RSGs and PBGs equaling approximately 4.8% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company. Messrs. Kasiviswanathan and Smith do not have an ownership requirement.

Compensation and Risk

The Board and its Compensation Committee consider the implications of the risks associated with its compensation policies and practices. The components of compensation for the NEOs and other senior level employees are structured so as not to encourage or create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse impact on Just Energy’s business. To this end: (i) the targeted performance bonuses for the NEOs which are payable principally in RSGs/PBGs generally vest over one to three years; (ii) most senior executives have common share ownership requirements, (iii) trading restrictions constrain the ability of most executives

|27

to dispose of their common shares for extensive ‘‘black-out’’ periods of time during each year, (iv) LTR-RSGs are designed to align the interests of management with those of shareholders and are not such so as to encourage any NEO to take excessive or inappropriate risks, (v) short term incentive bonuses, while based on formulaic criteria are capped as a percentage of each NEOs base salary, and (vi) long term bonuses for the NEOs are also capped. Executive management controls margins on energy contracts which form the basis for compensation for some NEOs. In addition executive management exercises control over expansion plans with respect to the businesses carried on by Just Energy. The above constraints, requirements and limitations are monitored by the Board’s risk and governance committees.

Neither the NEOs nor directors purchase financial instruments such as equity swaps, collars or units of exchange funds designed to hedge or offset a decrease in the market value of securities of Just Energy granted as compensation or held directly or indirectly by the NEO or director.

Compensation Consultants and Executive Compensation

In March 2016, the Compensation Committee retained Meridian Compensation Partners (“Meridian”) as its independent executive compensation consultant. Meridan had no relationship with Just Energy or its Board prior to March 2016, and does not provide any services to Just Energy other than advisory services to the Compensation Committee. Between 2012 and 2015, the Compensation Committee retained the services of Hugessen Consulting Inc. to advise on compensation matters.

The services provided by Meridian to the Committee include: (i) providing advice on Just Energy’s executive pay philosophy; (ii) providing advice on Just Energy’s compensation peer group; (iii) providing incentive plan advice for both short-term and long-term incentive programs; (iv) reviewing CEO and senior management compensation structures against market; and (v) reviewing and making recommendations with respect to executive employment agreements. Just Energy paid a total of $51,630 (excluding taxes and expenses) to Meridian in fiscal 2017.

The decisions made by the compensation committee and board of Just Energy on executive compensation are the sole responsibility of the Compensation Committee and the Board and may reflect factors and considerations other than the information and recommendations provided by Meridian.

Elements of Compensation

Base Salary:

The base salary of each executive is intended to remunerate each NEO for discharging job responsibilities as set forth in their respective employment contracts and reflects, in the case of the Executive Chair and the Co-Presidents and Co-Chief Executive Officers and the Chief Financial Officer, their performance over time. Each of the NEOs has a detailed job description setting out the individual’s duties and responsibilities. Salary levels and adjustments take into account performance contributions in connection with their specific duties and responsibilities as outlined in their respective employment contracts and position descriptions and the general performance of the business.

Base salaries for all NEOs are reviewable annually and recognize the NEO’s experience, responsibility, contribution and performance goals and are based on the compensation committee’s assessment of market value. Base salaries also take into account the other components of an NEO’s total compensation package.

28  |

Short Term Annual Performance Bonus:

The annual short term performance bonus (“STPB”) rewards executives (including NEOs) and other employees for their contribution to the overall performance of Just Energy and, in the case of business unit leaders, to the performance of their respective business unit. The principal performance measure is Base EBITDA and if objectives are met, payout levels range from 0% to 133.3% of base salary, depending on the employee’s position. In making the short term annual discretionary performance bonus awards for the year ended March 31, 2017, while the Compensation Committee also took into account the effort of the NEOs associated with the accomplishments of the business, the Executive Chair, Co-CEOs and CFO bonus is based on the Base EBITDA targets for the year ending March 31, 2017 as described in the table below.

			Bonus Eligibility
Base EBITDA(1)(4)	Bonus Eligibility		($)(3)
Performance	as % of	Rebecca		Deborah	Patrick

115% and above	133.3%	974,756	899,775	899,775	749,812

Notes:

(1)Base EBITDA – performance target levels are for each Y/E March 31 as derived from the annual budget established by management of Just Energy as approved by the Audit Committee and Board for Just Energy’s business. Prior to the end of each fiscal year of Just Energy, management will advise Just Energy of the Base EBITDA performance target levels as derived from the annual budget approved by the Audit Committee and Board for each year commencing April 1. At the end of each quarter management shall advise the Audit Committee of the Base EBITDA at such quarter end.

(2)STPB levels and related payments are not cumulative and are payable as to 100% in cash provided Employee may elect to receive all or a portion thereof in immediately vested RSGs/PBGs as calculated pursuant to an employment agreement. The STPB is not guaranteed in its entirety based on the achievement of the above Base EBITDA targets. The Compensation Committee may take into account other factors including Total Shareholder Return.

(3)Amounts are in the native currency of the Employment Agreement – for Mr. Lewis, Ms. Merril and Mr. McCullough in U.S. dollars and for Ms. MacDonald in Canadian dollars.

(4)Base EBITDA as at March 31, 2017 was $224,499,000 (99% of Target Level).

Mr. Kasiviswanathan is eligible for a discretionary short term bonus of up to 75% of his Base Salary payable in cash based on Company and personal performance as determined by the Co-CEOs. Mr. Smith is eligible for a discretionary short term bonus of up to 100% of his base salary payable in cash based on performance and sales targets set in the annual budget.

Long Term Incentive Bonus

Long term incentive bonuses (“LTIB”) for the Company’s senior executives are generally tied to business metrics for the Company that align with long-term Shareholder value. In addition, LTIBs are paid in RSGs or PBGs which generally vest over three years, tying management to the ongoing performance of the Company.

Long term incentive bonuses for the Executive Chair and the Co-CEOs are based on the achievement of the growth criteria and targets based upon incremental growth over business plan targets for funds from operations and embedded gross margins as approved by the audit committee, in each case, for the year ended March 31, 2017 as set forth the table below;

	Annual Growth % Performance To Targets(1)
Long Term Targeted Incentive Bonus Criteria(2)								112% and
	< 90%	90%	95%	100%	103%	106%	109%	above
Funds from Operations (FFO) – % of Base Salary Earned(1)(3)	0%	35.0%	50.0%	90%	92.7%	95.4%	98.1%	101%
Embedded Gross Margin (EGM)) – % of Base Salary Earned(1)(4)	0%	23.3%	33.3%	60%	61.8%	63.6%	65.4%	67.2%

Similarly, Mr. McCullough is eligible for a long term incentive bonus based on the achievement of incremental growth over business plan targets for funds from operations and embedded gross margins as approved by the audit committee, in each case, for the year ended March 31, 2017 as set forth the table below;

	Annual Growth % Performance To Targets(1)
Long Term Targeted Incentive Bonus Criteria(2)								112% and
	< 90%	90%	95%	100%	103%	106%	109%	above
Funds from Operations (FFO) – % of Base Salary Earned(1)(3)	0%	54%	57%	60%	61.8%	63.6%	65.4%	67.2%
Embedded Gross Margin (EGM)) – % of Base Salary Earned(1)(4)	0%	36%	38%	40%	41.2%	42.4%	43.6%	44.8%

Notes:

(1)The annual growth performance targets for each of the above two growth criteria were derived from the budget approved by the Audit Committee and by the Board on May 17, 2017 for the year ending March 31, 2017. The LTIB is the aggregated of both rows based on the performance of the Company for Criteria – i.e. if Just Energy achieved 106% of FFO and 90% of EGM, Mr. Lewis and Ms. Merril’s LTIB would be USD$643,950 for FFO plus USD$364,500 for EGM for an aggregate total of USD$1,008,450. The LTIB is payable as to 100% in RSGs/PBGs at the end of each year and vesting over three years. Subject to continued employment on each applicable vesting date. The achievement of the above metrics will be assessed by the Compensation Committee in the context of the Total Shareholder Return, earnings per share and common share price performance of Just Energy relative to its peer group index in order to achieve what the Committee believes is a just and equitable LTIB.

(2)Each of the two criteria are, and will continue in the future, to be readily identifiable in the Just Energy’s year end financial results and in Just Energy’s business plan for the above financial year as approved annually by the Audit Committee and the Board. Management shall at the end of each quarter advise the Audit Committee of the FFO and EGM at the end of such quarter. The Criteria includes growth in each of the criteria relating to any acquisition made, directly or indirectly, by Just Energy or an Affiliate thereof of energy contracts or other assets related to any one or more of the criteria and accordingly will include growth post- acquisition relating to new sales as well as the renewal of such acquired energy contracts or other assets acquired pursuant to such acquisition. EGM and FFO will, post an acquisition, be counted as regards the acquisition for the fiscal year of Just Energy following the acquisition.

(3)FFO refers to the net cash available for distribution through dividends to shareholders. FFO is calculated by Just Energy as gross margin adjusted for cash items including administrative expenses, selling and marketing expenses, bad debt expenses, finance costs, corporate taxes, capital taxes and other items. The gross margin used includes a seasonal adjustment for the gas markets in Ontario, Quebec, Manitoba and Michigan in order to include cash received.

(4)EGM means a rolling five-year measure of management’s estimate of future contracted energy gross margin. The energy marketing embedded margin is the difference between existing customer contract prices and the cost of supply for the remainder of term, with appropriate assumptions for customer attrition and renewals as calculated in Just Energy’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis filed each quarter. It is assumed that expiring contracts will be renewed at target margin and renewal rates.

(5)Base Funds From Operations (FFO) as at March 31, 2017 was $134,062,000 (95% of Target Level); and Embedded Gross Margin as at March 31, 2017 was $1,757,000,000 (81% of Target Level).

Mr. Kasiviswanathan is eligible for a discretionary long term bonus based on Company and personal performance as determined by the Co-CEOs. Any LTIB paid to Mr. Kasiviswanathan is 100% payable in RSGs/PBGs vesting over three years, subject to continued employment on each applicable vesting date. Mr. Smith is eligible for a discretionary long term bonus based on the percentage received by the Co-CEOs under the above LTIB calculation, up to a maximum of 100% of his salary.

Long Term Retention Grants (LTR-RSGs)

In fiscal 2015, each of the Executive Chair and Co-Presidents and Co-CEOs were granted 200,000 LTR-RSGs and the CFO was granted 100,000 LTR-RSGs pursuant to their employment agreements. The LTR-RSGs were granted to align the long-term interests of the senior executives of the Company with the long-term interests of shareholders. The terms of these LTR-RSGs are described in the table below. The CFO shall earn each year 50% of the LTR-RSGs earned by the Executive Chair.

Relative Total Shareholder Return (TSR for Just Energy as benchmarked against Just Energy’s peer company index(1)(2)	% of LTR RSGs that may be earned at March 31(2)
	2015	2016	2017	2018	2019
90th percentile or higher	20%	20%	20%	20%	20%
75th percentile to 89th percentile	15%	15%	15%	15%	15%
65th percentile to 74th percentile	10%	10%	10%	10%	10%
55th percentile to 64th percentile	5%	5%	5%	5%	5%
Below 55th percentile	NIL	NIL	NIL	NIL	NIL

Notes:

(1)Just Energy’s TSR for any given year will equal the percentage increase (decrease) from the day when Just Energy’s year-end audited financial statements are released (the “Release Date”) in the market value of Common Shares based on the simple average of the closing market price for the Just Energy Common Shares on the TSX for the 5 trading days after the Release Date in each year (the “Year End Price”) plus the total dividends paid to a shareholder for the fiscal year then ended. For F2017 Just Energy’s TSR was as follows:

Price per Common Share for the five trading days after May 18, 2016: $7.97

Price per Common Share for the five trading days after May 17, 2017: $7.15

Dividends per Common Share for F2017: $0.50

F2016 TSR: Below 55th percentile

(2)Just Energy’s TSR is to be benchmarked annually against the peer group of companies index, currently comprised of the companies listed below.

Exelon Energy	NRG Energy Inc.
EnerCare Inc.	Parkland Fuel Corporation
National Fuel Gas Co.	PPL Corporation
New Jersey Resources Corp.	Superior Plus Corp.
WGL Holdings Inc.

It is acknowledged that the peer group of companies may change from year to year as determined by the Compensation Committee at the commencement of each year.

(3)All LTR RSGs earned will only vest and be exchangeable for Shares on March 31, 2019 if the employee is continuously employed from April 1, 2014 to March 31, 2019. To the extent LTR RSGs are not earned in any one year they will, subject to note (5) below, be cancelled and returned to the RSG pool. Example: If JE’s TSR was above the 75th percentile of its peer group at March 31, 2015 but

|31

below the 90th percentile, Employee would earn 15% of the LTR-RSGs granted, which would vest on March 31, 2019 if Employee is continuously employed at that date from April 1, 2014. 10,000 of the LTR RSGs would, subject to note (5) below, be cancelled and returned to the RSG pool. Notwithstanding the vesting of 100% of earned LTR-RSGs on March 31, 2019 and the requirement of Employee to exchange such LTR-RSGs for Common Shares on March 31, 2019, Employee shall not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such Shares issuable on the exchange thereof, until March 31, 2022.

(4)Employees shall be entitled to receive quarterly distributions in the form of cash on all earned LTR-RSGs at the end of JE’s financial year when such LTR-RSGs are earned to the exchange date equal to the quarterly dividend paid on Common Shares.

(5)To the extent that the relative TSR for Just Energy calculated as benchmarked against Just Energy’s peer company index for any financial year of Just Energy ended 2015 to 2019, exceeds the 90th percentile (the “Excess”), such Excess may be applied to Just Energy’s relative TSR for the immediately following or immediately preceding year only should Just Energy’s relative TSR for such immediately following or immediately preceding year be below the 90th percentile.

Option Grants

While options are available under Just Energy’s option plan to the Compensation Committee to provide a longer-term incentive for executives to enhance shareholder value, they have not been used as a component of NEO compensation in the past six years and, in the view of the compensation committee, options are not likely to be used for the foreseeable future as a component of NEO compensation. As at March 31, 2017 none of the NEOs hold options and Just Energy has 814,166 remaining options available for grant under the option plan.

RSGs/PBGs

The compensation committee awards fully paid RSGs and/or PBGs to the NEOs pursuant to their employment agreements and the RSG Plan and the PBG Plan. See “Restricted Share Grant Plan” on page 38 of this circular and “Performance Bonus Incentive Plan” on page 40 of this circular. The Compensation Committee has used and will continue to use fully paid RSGs and PBGs, which normally vest over a three year period subject to continued employment on each applicable vesting date, to provide Just Energy with a mechanism of capitalizing payments which senior executives would otherwise receive in the form of cash as part of their annual discretionary performance bonus (if elected), annual non-discretionary targeted incentive bonuses and other compensation entitlements, thereby encouraging such persons to continue in the long-term service of Just Energy and aligning the interests of all NEOs with shareholders. RSGs and PBGs may also be used as a signing bonus to attract qualified executives. As RSGs/PBGs are exchangeable into Common Shares on a 1:1 basis, deferred vesting encourages NEO performance over the extended vesting period.

Employee Benefit Plans

Just Energy has a long-term incentive plan (the “Canadian Plan”) for all regular full time and part time employees working for its Canadian subsidiaries. The Canadian Plan consists of two components, a deferred profit sharing plan (“DPSP”) and an employee profit sharing plan (“EPSP”). For participants of the DPSP, Just Energy contributes an amount equal to a maximum of 2% per annum of an employee’s base earnings. For the EPSP, Just Energy contributes an amount up to a maximum of 2% per annum of an employee’s base earnings towards the purchase of shares, on a matching, one for one basis.

Just Energy also has a U.S. long-term incentive plan (the “U.S. Plan”) for all regular full time and part time employees working in the United States. The U.S. Plan consists of two components, 401K plan (“401K”) and an employee share purchase plan (“ESPP”). For participants of the 401K, Just Energy contributes an amount equal to a maximum of 4% per annum of an employee’s base earnings on a matching, one for one basis. For the ESPP, Just Energy contributes an amount up to a maximum of 3% per annum of an employee’s base earnings towards the purchase of shares, on a matching one for one basis. Employees that wish to participate in both plans are eligible for a maximum matching of up to 5% of an employee’s base earnings.

Market Benchmarking and Comparator Groups

To provide the Compensation Committee a basis for assessing the market competitiveness of compensation for the Company’s senior executives. The Compensation Committee retained Meridian to review the peer group of comparable organizations was developed for the purpose of pay benchmarking in 2012. Meridian recommended a new peer group and after discussions with the Compensation Committee and the Board, the new peer group was adopted on February 8, 2017. Given the limited number of publicly traded companies that have a business model similar to Just Energy’s, the peer group also includes similarly sized companies that trade and market natural gas and energy. This peer group is currently made up of the following companies:

Allete Inc.	Nisource Inc.
Alliant Energy Corp.	Northwestern Corp.
Avista Corp.	Pinnacle West Capital Corp.
Black Hills Corp.	Primerica Inc.
Canadian Utilities	Scana Corp.
Emera Inc.	Superior Plus Corp.
Fortis Inc.	Vectren Corp.
MDU Resources Group Inc.	WGL Holdings Inc.
New Jersey Resources Corp.

The companies in the peer group range from one-third to three times Just Energy’s size, with Just Energy positioned above the median of the peer group in terms of revenue.

Equity Compensation Plans

Just Energy has approved four equity compensation plans for the benefit of its directors and employees. It is no longer awarding options to directors or employees pursuant to the Option Plan described below. The RSG Plan was established in June 2004, has been amended several times and is used to issue RSGs to employees as a means of capitalizing bonuses otherwise payable in cash and to encourage employee share ownership and retention. The PBG Plan, approved by shareholders in 2013, is similar in substance to the RSG Plan and is used for employees that are resident outside of the United States. The DSG Plan was approved in April, 2004 and is used to encourage the ownership of equity by Just Energy’s directors.

The principal purposes of the RSG Plan and PBG Plan are to: (i) retain and attract qualified employees that Just Energy and its affiliates require; (ii) promote a proprietary interest in Just Energy by such employees and to encourage such persons to remain in the employ or service of Just Energy and its affiliates and put forth maximum efforts for the success of the business of Just Energy and its affiliates; and (iii) focus management of Just Energy and its affiliates on operating and financial performance and long-term Total Shareholder Return and profitability. Incentive based compensation plans such as the PBG and RSG Plans are an integral component of compensation for employees. The attraction and retention of qualified employees is a key factor to Just Energy’s long term strategic growth plan and the RSG and PBG Plans are intended to maintain Just Energy’s competitiveness within the North American energy marketing industry to facilitate the achievement of its long term goals.

Option Plan

The officers, full-time employees and service providers of and to Just Energy are eligible to participate in the option plan. However, on February 6, 2009, the board of directors adopted the policy that no further options would be granted to directors. Moreover, the Compensation Committee has no present plans to award options to NEOs as part of its compensation arrangements. The purpose of the Option Plan is to provide eligible participants with financial rewards that will encourage ownership of Common Shares, enhance Just Energy’s ability to attract, retain and motivate key personnel and service providers and reward recipients for significant performance and cash flow growth of Just Energy. The option plan is administered by the compensation committee. The compensation committee has the power to, among other things: (i) determine those directors, officers, employees and service providers eligible to be granted options; (ii) determine the number of common shares covered by each option; (iii) determine the exercise price for each option; and (iv) determine the time or times when options will be granted and when they are exercisable and expire. The exercise price for any option granted may not be less than the closing market price of the Common Shares on the TSX on the business day immediately preceding the day upon which the option is granted. Except as otherwise provided in individual option agreements approved by the compensation committee, options granted under the option plan are non-transferable, non-assignable and expire five or ten years from their grant date. The option plan may not be amended without shareholder approval and the consent of the TSX. The total number of Common Shares to be made available to any optionee under the Option Plan together with any Common Shares reserved for issuance under options or warrants for services and employee share purchase plans or any other share compensation arrangements to such optionee shall not exceed 5% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares at the date of the grant of the option.

All options will automatically vest immediately: (i) prior to the occurrence of a “Change of Control” (as defined in the Option Plan); (ii) upon dismissal without cause; and (iii) in certain cases, at the end of the term of an employment agreement. If before the expiry of an option, a participant’s employment is terminated by reason of death, such option may be exercised by the legal representatives of the estate of the participant at any time on or prior to the earlier of (i) the expiry date of such option and (ii) the first anniversary of the date of death of the participant. At March 31, 2017, 814,166 options were available for grant under the option plan (less than 1% of the outstanding shares) and 500,000 were outstanding.

2010 Restricted Share Grant Plan

As described under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis”, in lieu of granting options under the option plan, a specified minimum percentage of some employee short-term discretionary performance bonuses and/or long-term targeted incentive bonuses to which NEOs and certain other employees of, and consultants to, Just Energy are entitled (individually an “RSG Grantee”), are payable in fully paid RSGs which vest at various dates (a “Vesting Date”), ranging from immediately on the grant date (the “Grant Date”) to 5 years from the Grant Date, provided that on applicable Vesting Dates the RSG Grantee continues to be an employee with or consultant to Just Energy or an affiliate thereof. The RSG Plan is an umbrella plan which governs: (i) RSGs previously granted to a RSG Grantee under employment agreements; (ii) the grant of fully paid RSGs to employees of and consultants to Just Energy and its affiliates, including fully paid RSGs granted as a signing bonus; and (iii) the fully paid long term retention RSGs granted to certain NEOs described under “Long Term Retention — Restricted Share Grants”. Fully paid RSG’s are, subject to vesting and the cash out option described below, exchangeable into fully paid common shares on a cumulative basis for up to 10 years from the Grant Date on the basis of one common share for each fully paid RSG. The number of fully paid RSGs to which an RSG Grantee is entitled is determined on the relevant Grant Date by dividing the specified percentage of the amount of the short-term discretionary bonus or long-term targeted incentive bonus to which such Grantee is entitled and/or elects to receive, and which is payable in fully paid RSGs, by the simple or weighted average of the closing market price of the common shares on the TSX for periods ranging between 5 and 10 days for RSGs granted immediately prior to the Grant Date. In some cases, a fixed number of fully paid RSGs are granted to an employee in lieu of a cash bonus without reference to a simple average closing TSX price.

38�� |

Pending the exchange of fully paid RSGs for common shares, the RSG Grantee is entitled to receive quarterly cash distributions from Just Energy equal to the quarterly dividends such Grantee would otherwise be entitled to receive if the RSGs were common shares, less any applicable withholdings or other tax. All outstanding RSGs, whether or not vested, automatically vest in certain circumstances on the happening of certain events including: death, a change of control combined (other than long term retention RSGs), dismissal without cause and the inability, in certain circumstances, of Just Energy (or an affiliate thereof) and a NEO to settle upon a further employment arrangement at the end of term. RSGs do not carry the right to vote. The total number of Common Shares which may be made available to any RSG Grantee under the RSG Plan together with any common shares reserved for issuance under options or warrants for services and employee unit purchase plans or any other unit compensation arrangements to such RSG Grantee may not exceed 5% of the issued and outstanding common shares at the Grant Date. RSGs are not assignable.

The RSG Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee which has broad powers respecting the granting, vesting, term and allocation of RSGs and to interpret the RSG Plan. Without the approval of shareholders, the RSG Plan may not be amended in the following circumstances: (a) to increase the number of RSGs issuable under the RSG Plan, (b) to expand the scope of an “Eligible Person” or (c) to extend the term of a RSG benefiting an insider of Just Energy. The Board has authority to amend any other terms of the RSG Plan without shareholder approval, including altering the vesting terms, amending the termination provisions, amending any definitions.

Holders of RSGs who are U.S. residents are required to exchange all RSGs which vest during a calendar year prior to the end of the calendar year in which they vested. On August 13, 2015, the Board amended the RSG Plan to provide an option to other holders of RSGs to cash out the entire amount of vested RSGs, however such option must be agreed to by the Company and is generally used to facilitate the payment of withholding taxes on an exchange of RSGs.

As at March 31, 2017, 4,107,830 RSGs were available for issue under the RSG Plan (2.79% of the outstanding Common Shares) and 2,287,979 RSGs have been issued under RSG Plan (1.50% of the outstanding Common Shares).

The Director’s Compensation Plan

The directors compensation plan (the “DSG Plan”) was approved in April, 2004. The purpose of the Just Energy DSG Plan is to provide effective incentives for the independent directors to promote the business and success of Just Energy by encouraging the ownership of DSGs and/or common shares. The DSGs and/or common shares are credited to a director’s DSG and/or common share account at the end of each quarter and are based upon the weighted average trading price of the common shares for the 10 trading days on the TSX preceding the end of each quarter. DSGs may not be exchanged for common shares and common shares may not be issued and released to directors until the earlier of: (i) three years from the Grant Date, (ii) the day such director ceases to be a director of Just Energy and (iii) a change of control, providing that no common shares may be issued in exchange for DSGs after the expiry of 15 years from the Grant Date. As indicated above, the directors are entitled to elect to receive common shares in lieu of or in combination with DSGs. The DSGs do not carry the right to vote. Other than to change the fee structure the Just Energy DSG Plan may not be amended without shareholder approval and the consent of the TSX.

The DSG Plan also provides for the compensation of the directors of Just Energy. On May 14, 2015, the DSG Plan was amended by the Board to change the fees payable to non-executive directors commencing July 1, 2015. The annual base retainer for each outside director is $125,000. In addition, the chair of the audit committee receives an additional annual fee of $25,000 for serving as chair. The chair of each of the other committees receives an additional annual fee of $5,000. The lead director receives an additional annual fee of $25,000 to reflect his role as lead director. The non-executive directors are required to own DSGs and common shares of Just Energy at the commencement of each financial year of Just Energy having a value equal to two

|39

times the value of their annual $125,000 base retainer ($250,000), provided that directors shall have five years from the date of their appointment or election to become complaint with the equity holding requirement.

As at March 31, 2017, 117,936 DSGs were available for issue under the RSG Plan (0.08% of the outstanding Common Shares) and 93,506 DSGs have been issued under DSG Plan (0.06% of the outstanding Common Shares).

2013 Performance Bonus Incentive Plan

The PBG Plan operates in parallel with the RSG Plan for employees that are resident outside of the United States. Under the terms of the PBG Plan, any eligible employee may be granted a number of PBGs, the number of which is determined by the Compensation Committee based on certain pre-defined operational, financial and growth factors contained in the employment agreements for most employees as approved by the compensation committee and board, for the purpose of increasing long term shareholder value and return. The number of PBGs to be granted to an employee will equal the result obtained by dividing an employee’s annual performance bonus by the simple average of the TSX closing price for Just Energy common shares for the five consecutive trading days preceding a Grant Date – usually Just Energy’s year end i.e., March 31. PBGs may also be awarded to an employee in a fixed amount on a fully paid basis.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the PBG Plan, PBGs entitle the holder to be paid in three equal installments – as to one third thereof on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the date of grant of such PBGs. On the applicable Vesting Date, Just Energy, at its sole discretion, has the option of settling payment for the PBGs, to which the holder is entitled in the form of either cash or in common shares which may either be acquired by Just Energy on the TSX on which the common shares are listed or be issued from the treasury of Just Energy, or some combination thereof. The PBG Plan does not contain any provisions for financial assistance to the Grantee by Just Energy in respect of PBGs granted thereunder. To the extent the committee determines to pay all or a portion of the PBGs subsequent to a Vesting Date in Just Energy common shares, one common share will be issued for each PBG. To the extent the committee determines to pay all or a portion of the PGBs subsequent to a Vesting Date in cash, the amount is determined equal to the product of: (i) the number of vested PBGs and (ii) the simple average closing trading price of the common shares on the TSX for the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding such Vesting Date less any withholding taxes. The PBG Plan provides that the maximum number of common shares reserved for issuance from treasury pursuant to the exchange of outstanding PBGs issuable under the PBG Plan shall be 4 million, which is approximately 2% of the common shares outstanding. The aggregate number of PBGs which may be granted to any single employee shall not exceed 5% of the issued and outstanding common shares, calculated on an undiluted basis. In addition, the number of common shares: (a) issuable to insiders at any time, and (b) issued to insiders within any one year period, under all security based compensation arrangements of Just Energy, shall not exceed 9% of the issued and outstanding common shares. The expiry date of all PBGs granted pursuant to the PBG Plan may not extend beyond December 31 of the third year following the year in which the PBGs were granted. In the event of a change of control of Just Energy, the Vesting Date(s) applicable to all outstanding PBGs will be accelerated such that the balance of the payments to be made attaching to such PBGs will be paid immediately prior to the date upon which the change of control is completed.

Holders of PBGs, whether vested or unvested, are entitled to receive an incremental quarterly cash bonus or distribution per PBG on a dividend payment date equal to the same amount received by holders of common shares as a dividend on the Just Energy dividend payment date.

The committee may not, without the approval of shareholders of Just Energy, make any amendments to: (a) increase the percentage of Common Shares reserved for issuance pursuant to PBGs in excess of the 4,000,000 Common Shares; (b) extend the Vesting Date of any PBG issued under the PBG Plan beyond the latest Vesting Date specified in the Grant Agreement (other than as permitted by the terms and conditions of the PBG Plan) or extend the term beyond the original Expiry Date; and (c) change the amendment provisions of the PBG Plan. Except as restricted by the foregoing, the committee may amend or discontinue the PBG Plan

40  |

or PBGs granted thereunder at any time without shareholder approval provided that any amendment to the PBG Plan that requires approval of may not be made without approval of the TSX.

As at March 31, 2017, 2,650,513 PBGs were available for issue under the PBG Plan (1.8% of the outstanding Common Shares) and 538,826 PBGs have been issued under PBG Plan (0.3% of the outstanding Common Shares).

The Company does not provide financial assistance to purchase securities under any of the above-noted compensation plans.

Change of Control Events

A “Change of Control” under Just Energy’s incentive plans and the employment agreements of each of the NEOs other than Messrs. Kasiviswanathan and Smith, is deemed to have occurred if: (a) any individual, partnership, firm, corporation, association, trust, unincorporated organization or other entity, or any syndicate or group acting or presumed to be acting jointly or in concert, offers to acquire or acquires, directly or indirectly, common shares representing 50% or more of the outstanding common shares; (b) assets of Just Energy representing 50% or more of the net book value of Just Energy, determined as of the date of the audited financial statements of Just Energy then most recently published, are sold, liquidated or distributed; or (c) shareholders approve, or Just Energy consummates, any reorganization, amalgamation, arrangement, merger, business combination, consolidation, issuance of securities, sale of assets, liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, or any combination thereof (a “transaction”), and, as a result thereof, persons who are shareholders immediately prior to such transaction would not, immediately thereafter, directly or indirectly, own securities representing de facto control of the reorganized, amalgamated, continuing, merged, surviving or consolidated entity.

The RSG and PBG Plans, as well as the employment agreements of the NEOs, other than Mr. Kasiviswanathan’s agreement, provide that in the event of a Change of Control, all unvested RSGs and PBGs vest immediately prior to the Change of Control.

Pursuant to each of Ms. MacDonald’s, Ms. Merril’s, Mr. Lewis’ and Mr. McCullough’s employment agreements, in the event of termination without cause within 120 days of the Change of Control, the employee will be paid his or her pro-rated LTIB to end of fiscal quarter immediately preceding departure date, not to exceed one year’s base salary. If the employee remains in the position for 120 days following a Change of Control, he or she shall have the option to resign and be entitled to a cash payment equal to his or her LTIB for the fiscal year, not to exceed 150% base salary.

OTHER MATTERS

Indebtedness of Directors and Executive Officers

Since the beginning of the most recently completed financial year of Just Energy, none of the current or former directors, executive officers or employees of Just Energy or any of its subsidiaries, or any of the proposed Directors of Just Energy, nor any of their associates or affiliates, is now or has been indebted to Just Energy, other than for routine indebtedness, nor is or has any indebtedness of any such person been the subject of a guarantee, support agreement, letter of credit or other similar arrangement or understanding provided by Just Energy.

Interest of Informed Persons in Material Transactions

Except as disclosed herein, there were no material interests, direct or indirect, of directors or executive officers of Just Energy, any security holder who beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, or exercises control or direction over more than 10% of the outstanding common shares, or any other Informed Person (as defined in National Instrument 51-102) or any known associate or affiliate of such persons, in any transaction since the commencement of the last completed financial year of Just Energy or in any proposed transaction which has materially affected or would materially affect Just Energy or any of its subsidiaries.

Regulatory Matters and Bankruptcies and Insolvencies

Except as described below, no nominee for director of Just Energy is, as at the date of this proxy circular, or has been, within 10 years before the date of this proxy circular, a director or executive officer of any company that, while that person was acting in that capacity, (i) was the subject of a cease trade or similar order or an order that denied the relevant company access to any exemption under securities legislation that was in effect for a period of more than 30 consecutive days, (ii) was subject to an event that resulted, after the director or executive officer ceased to be a director or executive officer, in the company being the subject of a cease trade or similar order or an order that denied the relevant company access to any exemption under securities legislation, that was in effect for a period of more than 30 consecutive days, or (iii) within a year of that person ceasing to act in that capacity, became bankrupt, made a proposal under any legislation relating to bankruptcy or insolvency or was subject to or instituted any proceedings, arrangement or compromise with creditors or had a receiver, receiver manager or trustee appointed to hold its assets.

Mr. Ross was asked to join the Board of Directors of Catalyst Paper Corporation in May 2010 to assist in the possible restructuring of the Company. The Company subsequently filed for CCAA protection in January 2012, reorganized its financial affairs significantly over a number of months and then successfully emerged from CCAA in September 2012, at which time a new Board representing the post recapitalization stakeholders was appointed.

No nominee for director of the Corporation has, within the 10 years before the date of this proxy circular, become bankrupt, made a proposal under any legislation relating to bankruptcy or insolvency, or become subject to or instituted any proceedings, arrangement or compromise with creditors, or had a receiver, receiver manager or trustee appointed to hold the assets of the proposed director.

No proposed director has been subject to any penalties or sanctions imposed by a court relating to securities legislation or by a securities regulatory authority or has entered into a settlement agreement with a securities regulatory authority, nor has any proposed director been subject to any other penalties or sanctions imposed by a court or regulatory body that would likely be considered important to a reasonable security holder in deciding whether to vote for a proposed director.
