ANNUAL GENERAL AND SPECIAL MEETING (JUNE 19, 2020)

The Meeting will be held on June 19, 2020 at 11:00 a.m. (Toronto time) as an online-only meeting. At the Meeting, shareholders will be presented with the Company's consolidated financial statements for the financial year ended December 31, 2019, together with the independent auditor's report for those financial statements. Shareholders will also be asked to consider and, if thought advisable, to pass resolutions:

• approving the re-appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the Company's auditor for the financial year ending December 31, 2020 and authorizing the Company's board of directors to fix the auditor's compensation for the coming year;
  
  
• electing the directors of the Company for the coming year;
  
  
• authorizing the Company to amend its articles to affect a consolidation of its common shares on the basis of 1 post-consolidation common share for every 20 pre-consolidation common shares;
  
  
• authorizing the Company to pay its Chief Executive Officer his net salary for the period from July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021 quarterly, in arrears, by issuing common shares to him at the then-current market price or by paying him in cash, as determined by the board of directors of the Company from time to time (with the Chief Executive Officer recusing himself from such determinations), and reserving 2,571,428 common shares to be used for such purpose;
  
  
• ratifying and re-approving the Company's 2018 Omnibus Equity Incentive Compensation Plan for the previous year and the coming year, including the "rolling" maximum number of options that can be issued under the plan; and
  
  
• such other matters as may properly come before the Meeting.

The board of directors of the Company is unanimously recommending (with Anthony Lacavera abstaining from discussions, voting and recommendations relating to the form of his compensation) that all shareholders vote FOR each of the items set out above.

While all shareholders are invited to attend the Meeting, only shareholders of record as of May 15, 2020, the record date for the Meeting, will be entitled to cast a vote at the Meeting.  Eligible shareholders who do not wish to attend the Meeting online can also vote on the business of the Meeting by submitting a proxy or voting instruction form in accordance with the instructions set out in Management's Information Circular and/or provided by their applicable broker or agent.  Proxies must be received by the Company or its transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company of Canada, by no later than 11:00 a.m. on June 17, 2020, or if the Meeting is adjourned, no later than 48 hours prior to the new Meeting date and time.

Further details on the business and mechanics of the Meeting, including how to participate, ask questions and vote at the Meeting, along with the rationale for each of the proposed resolutions, are described in Management's Information Circular. "We urge you to give this material your careful consideration," said Anthony Lacavera, the Company's founder and Chief Executive Officer, "please ensure that your shares are represented at the Meeting, whether or not you are able to attend. Regardless of the number of shares you hold, your vote is important."

CONSOLIDATION OF THE COMMON SHARES OF GLOBALIVE TECHNOLOGY

At the Meeting, the Company will be seeking shareholder authorization to consolidate its common shares on the basis of 1 post-consolidation common share for every 20 pre-consolidation common shares. The consolidation is being proposed because the Company believes, among other things, that the consolidation may increase the market price for the common shares and reduce their price volatility, making the common shares a more attractive investment opportunity for certain investors and assisting in meeting minimum investment thresholds for certain institutional investors. The Company also anticipates that the consolidation may improve the trading liquidity of the shares.

Registered shareholders will receive a letter of transmittal with the materials for the Meeting which can be completed and returned to the Company's transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company of Canada, in accordance with the instructions set out in the letter in order to receive a revised share certificate or DRS advice for their consolidated shares. Non-registered shareholders should contact their broker or agent, in the event the consolidation is approved and implemented, for instructions on how to exchange their pre-consolidation shares for post-consolidation shares.

The Company currently has 139,719,688 common shares issued and outstanding and if the consolidation were to occur today, there would be 6,985,984 common shares issued and outstanding post-consolidation. The number of issued and outstanding common shares on the consolidation date may vary from these estimates, due to restricted share units granted by the Company that will vest on June 8, 2020 and common shares that may be purchased for cancellation under the Company's ongoing normal course issuer bid program. Any fractional shares generated by the consolidation will be purchased for cancellation by the Company at the closing price for common shares of the Company on the day prior to the consolidation.

In addition to approval at the Meeting the consolidation will be subject to final approval by the TSX Venture Exchange and the board of directors of the Company reserves the ability to cancel or postpone the consolidation at its discretion. 

The proposed date for the consolidation is June 30, 2020, subject to amendment by the board of directors. If the date of the consolidation is changed, the Company will issue a press release advising of the newly proposed consolidation date.

The name of the Company and the class of shares will not be changed as part of the consolidation.
