It is proposed that the Board of Directors take the following steps to protect the organization and prevent risks associated with disengagement of savers and investors, who are often individual retail shareholders: 1. Improve the voting experience — Work with transfer agents to simplify the voting process and make it more accessible, including voting at meetings (virtual or in person) and proxy voting. — Demystify the issues on the agenda with interactive guides and explanatory videos — Send personalized reminders or nudges to encourage voting — Modernize communications — Make communications clearer, more eye-catching and more targeted to individual retail shareholders — Speed up the adoption of technological solutions (simplified electronic voting) — Optimize online voting platforms to make them more user-friendly on mobile devices — Improve accessibility to information for shareholders who are less familiar with digital technologies (paper copies of newsletters, telephone help lines, etc.) 2. Target engagement by theme and generation — Incorporate strategic or societal issues likely to generate greater interest among young investors (climate, inclusion, AI, etc.) — Use a simplified format to emphasize shareholder proposals and corporate governance issues — Document participation — Disclose in the circular, in a dedicated section, including a summary table, detailed information on participation at meetings, broken down by in-person and virtual attendance, presented from a multiyear historical perspective going back to at least the pre-COVID period, including where applicable and where possible: i. ii. the number of votes cast in absolute terms (and not only as a percentage) the quorum iii. the number of outstanding voting shares (broken down by category, including multiple voting shares) iv. v. the number of shareholders (individuals or corporations, objecting or non-objecting beneficial owners (OBO/NOBO)) in attendance the number of proxies (individuals) representing them.
