NOTICE-AND-ACCESS NOTIFICATION TO BENEFICIAL SHAREHOLDERS OF IM CANNABIS CORP.

 

You are receiving this notification because IM Cannabis Corp. (the “Company”) has elected to use the “notice-and-access” mechanism provided for under National Instrument 54-101 – Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer to deliver to holders of common shares in the capital of IM Cannabis (“Common Shares”) who do not hold their Common Shares in their own name (referred to as “Beneficial Shareholders”) meeting materials in connection with the Company’s annual general meeting (the “Meeting”) to be held at the offices of the Company’s legal counsel, Garfinkle Biderman LLP, located at 1 Adelaide Street East, Suite 801, Toronto, Ontario M5C 2V9 on Wednesday, December 6, 2023 at 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time).

 

This means that, rather than receiving paper copies of the Meeting materials in the mail, Beneficial Shareholders will have access to them online. These materials are available at:

 

 

Notice-and-access will not be used for registered shareholders and registered shareholders will instead receive a paper copy of the Company’s management information circular dated October 19,  2023 prepared in connection with the Meeting (the “Circular”) and all proxy-related materials. The use of this alternative means of delivery for Beneficial Shareholders is more environmentally friendly as it helps reduce paper use and reduces the cost of printing and mailing materials to shareholders.

 

Alongside this notification, Beneficial Shareholders will still receive a form of proxy or voting instruction form enabling them to vote at the Meeting and a form to request copies of the Company’s annual and/or interim financial statements and the related management’s discussion and analysis (“MD&A”). Electronic copies of the notice of Meeting, Circular, a form of proxy, audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the financial year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 and related MD&A and this notification will be available at https://investors.imcannabis.com and under the Company’s profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca. Electronic copies of the Meeting materials will be available on the Company’s website for a period of one year.

 

Please review these online materials when voting. For more information about the notice-and-access procedures, please call Broadridge Investor Communication Solutions at 1-844-916-0609.
