goeasy Ltd. has filed and completed the mailing of its management information circular and related proxy materials for its annual general and special meeting of shareholders, to be held on Wednesday, May 20, 2026, at 10 a.m. ET. The meeting will be held in a virtual-only format designed to provide full and equal access for all shareholders, enabling them to attend, participate, ask questions and vote in real time, regardless of location. Shareholders of record as at the close of business on March 25, 2026, will be entitled to vote at the meeting.

At the meeting, shareholders will be asked to consider and vote on the following items, each of which the board of directors unanimously recommends a vote for:

• Elect directors for the ensuing year;
• Appoint Ernst & Young LLP as auditor and authorize the board to fix the auditor's remuneration;
• Consider and, if deemed appropriate, approve an ordinary resolution confirming the company's advance notice bylaw.

Advancement of board refresh

As outlined in the circular, the board and executive leadership team recognize recent performance challenges and are taking decisive, concrete actions to stabilize execution and restore long-term shareholder value. Actions include an advancing refresh of the board's composition, reflecting the company's commitment to strong corporate governance, oversight, expertise and transparent shareholder engagement. Accordingly, the board is pleased to nominate the following two new directors:

• Jacqueline Moss, LLB, ICDD, GCBD, whose deep expertise in legal, governance, strategy, corporate development and human resources will support the company's focus on enhancing governance practices and legal and regulatory compliance; Ms. Moss held senior executive roles at CIBC and brings significant board experience, including with RFA Financial Inc. and Minto Apartment Real Estate Investment Trust;
• Patrick Ens, the company's chief executive officer, who will provide valuable management perspective on execution and risk oversight informed by his broad experience in consumer credit and lending, including as president of Capital One Canada.

In addition, the board is pleased to express its intention to appoint Diane Sinhuber, FCPA, FCA, ICDD, GCBD, as a third new director following the meeting. Ms. Sinhuber brings vast experience in audit and finance in the financial services industry. Ms. Sinhuber retired from the role of senior vice-president of internal audit and transformation at TD Bank in 2022. Before joining TD Bank, Ms. Sinhuber spent 30 years with EY Canada, of which she served as assurance partner, financial services, for 20 years. She is currently a director on the Ontario Pension Board and a former director on the board of First National Financial.

David Appel and Jason Mullins will not stand for re-election to the board. The board extends its appreciation for their significant contributions to the company during periods of growth and transformation.

Additionally, leadership and the board, including through its committees, have undertaken a comprehensive operating review and are executing on a six-point action plan focused on strengthening the company's core easyfinancial platform, enhancing credit and risk discipline, simplifying operations, improving cost-efficiency, and maintaining liquidity and balance sheet flexibility. The board is also actively engaged in overseeing management's execution against these priorities throughout 2026.

The company remains committed to communicating material updates relating to corporate governance matters and the six-point action plan, as appropriate.

Lastly, Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. (ISS), a leading independent proxy advisory firm that provides voting recommendations to shareholders and is relied upon by major institutional investors, has released its report recommending that the company's shareholders vote "for" all resolutions outlined in the circular to be put forward at the meeting.
