Dear Fellow Shareholder,
You are cordially invited to attend a special meeting of shareholders (the “Meeting”) of DIRTT Environmental Solutions Ltd. (“DIRTT”), which will be held virtually at 10:00 a.m. MDT on Friday, September 20, 2024.
The matters expected to be acted upon at the Meeting are described in the accompanying Notice of Special Meeting of Shareholders and Proxy Statement. You are entitled to vote at the Meeting and any adjournments or postponements of the Meeting only if you were a shareholder as of the close of business on August 1, 2024.
Thank you for your ongoing commitment to DIRTT.
Sincerely,
/s/ Benjamin Urban
Benjamin Urban
Chief Executive Officer
Your vote is important. Whether or not you can attend the Meeting, please read this Management Information Circular and Proxy Statement carefully, and then cast your vote as soon as possible over the Internet, by telephone, or by completing and returning the proxy card so that your shares will be represented at the Meeting. Returning the proxy card will ensure that you are represented at the Meeting regardless of whether or not you attend online. Returning the proxy card does not deprive you of your right to attend the Meeting online and to vote your shares at the Meeting.
If you have any questions about the Meeting or require more information with respect to the procedures for voting, please contact our proxy solicitation agent, Morrow Sodali (Canada) Ltd. (“MS”) at 1-888-777-2059 toll free in North America or 1-289-695-3075 collect outside North America or by email at assistance@morrowsodali.com.
Notice of Special Meeting
The special meeting of shareholders (the “Meeting”) is scheduled to be held on Friday, September 20, 2024 at 10:00 a.m. MDT. The Meeting is scheduled to be held in a virtual-only format via live audio webcast online atmeetnow.global/MCX7XXF.
The Meeting will be held for the purposes of:
ratifying, confirming and approving the Rights Agreement (as defined herein) (the Shareholder Rights Proposal); and
transacting such other business as may properly be brought before the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.
Only registered holders of the Company’s Common Shares at the close of business on August 1, 2024, the record date for the Meeting, are entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.
Registered shareholders and duly appointed proxyholders will be able to attend the Meeting, ask questions and vote, provided they are present virtually, connected to the Internet and comply with all of the requirements set out in this Management Information Circular and Proxy Statement. Non-registered (or beneficial) shareholders who have not duly appointed themselves as proxyholder will be able to attend the Meeting and ask questions but will not be able to vote at the Meeting. A shareholder who wishes to appoint a person other than the management nominees identified on their proxy card or voting instruction form (including a non-registered shareholder who wishes to appoint themselves to attend) must carefully follow the instructions in this Management Information Circular and Proxy Statement and on the proxy card or voting instruction form. These instructions include the additional step of registering such proxyholder with our transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company of Canada, after submitting their proxy card or voting instruction form. Failure to register the proxyholder with our transfer agent will result in the proxyholder not receiving a username to participate in the Meeting and only being able to attend as a guest.
The specific details of the matters proposed to be put before the Meeting are set forth in this Management Information Circular and Proxy Statement of the Company, which accompanies this Notice of Special Meeting.
Registered holders of Common Shares may vote their proxies by signing, dating and returning a proxy card or by using the Internet or telephone pursuant to the instructions on their proxy card. If your Common Shares are held in the name of a bank or broker, you may be able to vote on the Internet or by telephone. Please follow the instructions on the voting instruction form you receive. Voting by using the Internet or telephone, or by returning your proxy card or voting instruction form in advance of the Meeting, does not preclude you from attending the Meeting online.
Your vote is important. Whether or not you expect to attend the Meeting, please vote over the Internet, by telephone or by completing and promptly returning the enclosed proxy card or voting instruction form so that your shares may be represented at the Meeting.
If you have any questions about the Meeting or require more information with respect to the procedures for voting, please contact our proxy solicitation agent, MS at 1-888-777-2059 toll free in North America or 1-289-695-3075 collect outside North America or by email at assistance@morrowsodali.com.
