As the Company continues to focus on key franchises to drive the greatest opportunity for growth and shareholder value, the Board of Directors (the "Board") has determined to reduce the number of directors from 10 to seven. As such, former directors Geoffrey Machum, Deborah Drisdell and Karine Courtemanche did not stand for election this year, as stated in the management information circular.

Donald Wright, Chair of the WildBrain Board, said: "On behalf of the Board and the WildBrain management team, I would like to extend our sincere gratitude to Geoff, Deborah and Karine for their years of dedication and support of the business. Their contributions have been highly valuable, and we wish them all the best for the future. Going forward, we retain a strong, diverse board committed to the best practices of corporate governance, with solid Canadian representation."
