HowtoAppoint a Proxyholder
Shareholders who wish to appoint a third-party proxyholder other than the named Enerflex proxy nominees to represent them at the Meeting must submit their form of proxy or voting instruction form (as applicable) appointing that third-party proxyholder AND that proxyholder must register with AST Trust Company (Canada), as described below. Please ensure that the person you appoint is aware that he or she has been appointed. The appointee should then register as described below.
Registering of the proxyholder is an additional step to be completed AFTER you have submitted your form of proxy or voting instruction form. Failure to register the proxyholder will result in the proxyholder not receiving a control number that is required for them to vote at the Meeting.
Step 1: Submit your form of proxy or voting instruction form.
- To appoint a third-party proxyholder, insert such person’s name in the blank space provided in the form of proxy or voting instruction form and follow the instructions therein for submitting such proxy or voting instruction form. This must be completed prior to registering such proxyholder, which is an additional step to be completed once you have submitted your form of proxy or voting instruction form.
Step 2: Proxyholder Registration
- The proxyholder must contact AST Trust Company (Canada) at (866) 751-6315 (in North America) or (212) 235-5754 by 10:30 a.m. (MDT) on May 6, 2020 (or, if the Meeting is adjourned or postponed, not less than 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) before the time and date of the adjourned or postponed Meeting), and provide AST Trust Company (Canada) with the required proxyholder contact information so that AST Trust Company (Canada) may provide the proxyholder with a control number via email.
