ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
TO BE HELD ON JUNE 26, 2024

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Greenbrook TMS Inc.

Notice of 2024 Annual Meeting of Shareholders
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the annual meeting (the “Meeting”) of shareholders of Greenbrook TMS Inc. (the “Company”) will be held virtually via live audio webcast online at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/GTMS2024 on June 26, 2024 at 10:00 A.M. Eastern time.
What the Meeting is About
We will be seeking shareholder votes on the following items of business at the Meeting:
1.
to elect the directors of the Company to serve until the 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders or until their successors are elected or appointed; and
2.
to appoint KPMG LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024 and authorizing the directors to fix KPMG LLP’s remuneration.
In addition, at the Meeting we will receive the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, including the auditor’s report thereon; and we will transact such other business as may be properly brought before the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.
The proxy statement accompanying this notice of meeting provides additional information relating to the matters to be dealt with at the Meeting and forms part of this notice.
The Board of Directors has determined that it is desirable and in the best interest of the Company, the shareholders and the Company’s other stakeholders to again hold this year’s Meeting exclusively by electronic means via live webcast. We hope that hosting a virtual meeting will enable greater participation by our shareholders by allowing shareholders who might not otherwise be able to travel to a physical meeting to attend online. Shareholders and duly appointed proxyholders will be able to listen to, participate in, ask questions, and vote at the Meeting in real time through a web-based platform instead of attending the Meeting in person.
For the Meeting, we have elected to use the Internet as our primary means of providing our proxy materials to our shareholders. Consequently, most shareholders will not receive paper copies of our proxy materials. We will instead send to these shareholders a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials with instructions for accessing the proxy materials, including our Proxy Statement and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (our “Annual Report”), and for participating and voting via the Internet. The Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials will also provide: (i) information on how shareholders may request, via a toll-free number, an e-mail address or a website, paper copies of our proxy materials (including a proxy card) free of charge; (ii) the date, time and online location of the Meeting; and (iii) the matters to be acted upon at the Meeting and the recommendation of the Board of Directors with regard to each matter. The electronic delivery of our proxy materials will significantly reduce our printing and mailing costs and the environmental impact of the proxy materials.
You are entitled to receive notice of and vote at the Meeting, or any adjournment or postponement thereof, if you are a holder of common shares of the Company at the close of business on May 3, 2024 (the “Record Date”).
You have the right to vote your common shares on items 1 and 2 listed above and any other items that may properly come before the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.
The Meeting will be held virtually, via live audio webcast at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/GTMS2024, on June 26, 2024, at 10:00 A.M. Eastern Time. To attend and participate, shareholders as of the Record Date will need a 16-digit control number, which can be found in the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials.
If you are not able to be participate at the Meeting, please exercise your right to vote prior to the Meeting online at www.proxyvote.com or by signing and returning the form of proxy or voting instruction form in the return envelope to Broadridge Investor Communications Corporation (“Broadridge”) at: Vote Processing, c/o Broadridge, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, NY 11717. (Eastern time) on June 25, 2024 or, if the Meeting is adjourned or postponed, the last business day (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) before any adjournment or postponement of the Meeting.
Management currently intends on only proceeding with the formal items of business of the Meeting without any opening remarks or subsequent management presentations. However, shareholders will still have the opportunity to submit questions during the Meeting through the live webcast.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Greenbrook believes that the ability to participate in the Meeting in a meaningful way remains important despite the decision to hold this Meeting through electronic means. Shareholders will have substantially the same opportunity to vote and submit questions on matters of business at the Meeting as in past years when shareholders meetings were held in person.
You are cordially invited to attend our virtual Meeting, but whether or not you expect to attend (via the Internet), you are urged to read our Proxy Statement and to vote and submit your proxy by following the voting procedures described in the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or on the proxy card.
BY ORDER OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

How do I attend and participate in the virtual Meeting?
How you vote depends on whether you are a registered or a non-registered Shareholder. Please read the voting instructions below that are applicable to you.
In order to attend the Meeting, registered Shareholders, duly appointed proxyholders (including non-registered Shareholders who have duly appointed themselves as proxyholder) and guests (including non-registered Shareholders who have not duly appointed themselves as proxyholder) must log in online as set out below.
To participate in the Meeting, Shareholders will need to visit www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/GTMS2024 and log-in using the 16-digit control number which can be found in the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials. The Meeting platform is fully supported across browsers and devices running the most updated version of applicable software plug-ins. You should ensure you have a strong, preferably high-speed, internet connection wherever you intend to participate in the Meeting. The Meeting will begin promptly at 10:00 A.M.

The presence at the opening of the Meeting of one person who is entitled to vote either as a Shareholder or as a proxy holder and holding or representing not less than 33 1⁄3% of the outstanding Shares entitled to vote at the Meeting as of the Record Date will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Meeting. In general, Shares represented by a properly signed and returned proxy card, or properly voted by Internet or telephone, or voted by your broker will be counted as Shares present and entitled to vote at the Meeting for purposes of determining a quorum. Shares represented by proxies marked “Abstain” and “broker non-votes” are also counted in determining whether a quorum is present.
What does it mean to vote by proxy?
Voting by proxy means that you are giving the person or people named on your proxy form (the “proxyholder”) the authority to vote your Shares for you at the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement.
2

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Company representatives named on the proxy form will vote your Shares for you, unless you appoint someone else to be your proxyholder. You have the right to appoint a person to represent you at the Meeting other than the persons named on the proxy form. If you want to appoint someone else, you can insert that person’s name in the blank space provided in the form of proxy. That other person does not need to be a Shareholder of the Company. See “Appointee Instructions” below.
Broadridge Investor Communications Corporation (“Broadridge”) must receive your completed proxy form or voting instructions form by 11:59 P.M. (Eastern time) on June 25, 2024, or, if the Meeting is adjourned or postponed, on the last business day (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) before any adjournment or postponement of the Meeting.
What’s the difference between registered and non-registered (beneficial) Shareholders?
The voting process is different depending on whether you are a registered or non-registered (beneficial) Shareholder:
Registered Shareholders
If you are a “registered holder” (meaning your Shares are registered in your name with our transfer agent, Computershare Investor Services Inc. (“Computershare”)), then you may vote either online at the Meeting or by proxy. If you decide to vote by proxy, you may vote via the Internet, by telephone or by mail and your Shares will be voted at the Meeting in the manner you direct. The Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials provides information on how to access your proxy card, which contains instructions on how to vote via the internet or by telephone or receive a paper proxy card to vote by mail.
Non-Registered (or Beneficial) Shareholders
If, like most Shareholders, you are a beneficial owner of Shares held in “street name” (meaning a broker, trustee, bank, or other nominee holds Shares on your behalf), and you wish to vote your Shares at the Meeting, you must follow the procedures provided by the nominee that holds your Shares for obtaining a legal proxy to vote such Shares at the Meeting, as well as the registration instructions provided above under “How do I attend and participate in the virtual Meeting?” Alternatively, you may provide voting instructions to the nominee that holds your Shares by completing, signing and returning the voting instruction form that the nominee provides to you, or by using telephone or Internet voting arrangements described on the voting instruction form, the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or other materials that the nominee provides to you.
Appointee Instructions
You are encouraged to appoint yourself or such other person (other than the named proxyholders) online at www.proxyvote.com as this will reduce the risk of any mail disruptions in the current environment and will allow you to share the Appointee Information you have created with any other person you have appointed to represent you at the Meeting more easily. If you do not designate an Appointee when completing your form of proxy or voting information form or if you do not provide the exact Appointee Identification Number and Appointee Name to any other person (other than the named proxyholders) who has been appointed to access and vote at the Meeting on your behalf, that other person will not be able to access the Meeting and vote on your behalf.
You MUST provide your Appointee the EXACT NAME and EIGHT CHARACTER APPOINTEE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER to access the Meeting. Appointees can only be validated at the virtual Meeting using the EXACT NAME and EIGHT CHARACTER APPOINTEE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER you enter.
IF YOU DO NOT CREATE AN EIGHT CHARACTER APPOINTEE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER, YOUR APPOINTEE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ACCESS THE VIRTUAL MEETING.
Less frequently, a non-registered Shareholder will receive, as part of the proxy materials, a form of proxy that has already been signed by the intermediary (typically by a facsimile or stamped signature), which is restricted as to the number of Shares beneficially owned by the non-registered Shareholder but which is otherwise uncompleted. If the non-registered Shareholder does not wish to attend the virtual Meeting (or have another person participate and vote on the non-registered Shareholder’s behalf), the non-registered Shareholder must complete the form of proxy and deposit it with Broadridge at: Vote Processing, c/o Broadridge, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, NY 11717 as described above. If a non-registered Shareholder wishes to participate and vote at the virtual Meeting (or have another person

TABLE OF CONTENTS

attend and vote on the non-registered Shareholder’s behalf), the non-registered Shareholder must strike out the names of the persons named in the proxy and insert the non-registered Shareholder’s (or such other person’s) name in the blank space provided. See above “Appointee Instructions”.
Shareholders should follow the instructions on the forms they receive, and non-registered Shareholders should contact their intermediaries promptly if they need assistance.
The proxy materials are being sent or made available to both registered and non-registered owners of Shares. The Company is sending proxy materials indirectly to non-objecting beneficial owners (as defined in National Instrument 54-101—Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer (“NI 54-101”)). The Company intends to pay for intermediaries to deliver proxy materials and Form 54-101F7 (request for voting instructions) to “objecting beneficial owners” (as defined in NI 54-101).
What am I voting on at the Meeting?
The following items of business will be covered at the Meeting:
Item No. 1—electing directors to serve until the 2025 Meeting of Shareholders or until their successors are elected or appointed; and
Item No. 2—appointing an independent registered public accounting firm of the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024 and authorizing the directors to fix their remuneration.
In addition, at the Meeting, we will be receiving the financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, including the auditor’s report thereon; however, no Shareholder vote will be taken on this matter. In addition, we may be transacting such other business as may be properly brought before the Meeting. As of the date of this Proxy Statement, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) is not aware of any such other business.
How does the Board recommend that I vote?
Our Board recommends that each Shareholder vote “FOR” each of the applicable proposals listed above.
What votes may I cast with regard to each proposal?
You can choose to vote “For” or “Withhold” for Item Nos. 1 and 2. The Shares represented by the proxy form will be voted in accordance with the instructions of the Shareholder on any ballot that may be called for and, if the Shareholder specifies a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, the Shares will be voted accordingly.
If you return your proxy form or voting instruction form and do not tell us how you want to vote your Shares, your Shares will be voted “FOR” each director nominee and each proposal by the management representatives named in the proxy.
The form of proxy confers discretionary authority upon the management representatives designated in the form of proxy with respect to amendments to or variations of matters identified in the Notice of Meeting and with respect to other matters that may properly come before the Meeting. At the date of this Proxy Statement, management of the Company knows of no such amendments, variations or other matters.
What vote is required in order to approve each proposal?
Item No. 1: Under our Majority Voting Policy (as defined herein), a director nominee who is elected in an uncontested election with a greater number of votes “Withheld” than votes “For” will be considered by the Board not to have received the support of the Shareholders, even though duly elected as a matter of corporate law. See “Item No. 1 – Election of Directors” for more information on our Majority Voting Policy.
Item No. 2: The appointment of an independent registered public accounting firm and the authorization of the Board to fix their remuneration requires a majority of the votes cast at the Meeting, and votes cast only include those votes cast “For” or “Withhold” the proposal.
4

TABLE OF CONTENTS

What impact does a “Withhold” vote have?
Item No. 1: If you select “Withhold” with respect to the election of a nominee, your vote will have no effect on the votes cast for the purposes of electing such nominee but will be considered in the application of our Majority Voting Policy which is described in “Item No. 1 – Election of Directors” below.
Item No. 2: If you select “Withhold”, your vote will have no effect on the votes cast for the purposes of appointing the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.
What is the effect if I do not cast my vote?
If as a registered Shareholder you do not cast your vote in person or by proxy, no votes will be cast on your behalf on any of the proposals.
If you are a U.S. beneficial Shareholder with an intermediary, you must instruct your U.S. intermediary how to vote your Shares. If, as a U.S. non-registered or beneficial Shareholder, you do not instruct your intermediary on how to vote on any of the proposals at the Meeting, the intermediary has discretionary authority to vote your Shares on Item No. 2, but the intermediary does not have discretionary authority to vote your Shares on the rest of the proposals or any non-routine item, so a “broker non-vote” will be recorded with respect to such item. Broker non-votes will be treated as not entitled to vote on any such matter and will not be counted as having been voted in respect of any such matter. Shares represented by such broker “non-votes” will, however, be counted in determining whether there is a quorum for the Meeting.
How do I change my vote?
A registered Shareholder who has given a proxy may revoke that proxy and change a vote by:
(a)
completing and signing a proxy bearing a later date and depositing it with Broadridge as described above;
(b)
depositing an instrument in writing executed by the Shareholder or by the Shareholder’s attorney authorized in writing at our registered office at any time before 11:59 P.M. (Eastern time) on June 25, 2024, or on the last business day before any adjournment or postponement of the Meeting at which the proxy is to be used, or
(c)
in any other manner permitted by law.
A non-registered or beneficial Shareholder may revoke a voting instruction form or a waiver of the right to receive proxy materials and to vote given to an intermediary or to the Company, as the case may be, at any time by written notice to the intermediary or the Company, except that neither an intermediary nor the Company is required to act on a revocation of a voting instruction form or on a waiver of the right to receive materials and to vote that is not received by such intermediary or the Company, at least seven days prior to the Meeting.
What does it mean if I receive more than one set of proxy materials?
This means that you own Shares that are registered under different accounts. For example, you may own some Shares directly as a registered Shareholder and other Shares as a non-registered beneficial Shareholder through an intermediary, or you may own Shares through more than one such organization. In these situations, you will receive multiple sets of the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials and, if you request paper copies, multiple sets of the proxy materials. It is necessary for you to complete and return all proxy cards in order to vote all of the Shares you own. Please make sure you return each proxy card in the accompanying return envelope. You may also vote by Internet or telephone by following the instructions on the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials and in your proxy materials.
How will proxies be solicited and who will pay the cost of the proxy solicitation?
The solicitation of proxies will be primarily by electronic means, as indicated in the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, but the Company’s directors, officers and regular employees may also solicit proxies personally, by telephone or other means. The Company will bear all costs of the solicitation, including the printing, handling and mailing of the Meeting materials. The Company has arranged for intermediaries to forward the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials and Meeting materials to non-registered or beneficial Shareholders of record, and the Company may reimburse the intermediaries for their reasonable fees and disbursements in that regard.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

How can I make a Shareholder proposal for the 2025 Annual Meeting?
If you want to propose a matter for consideration at our 2025 Annual Meeting, then that proposal must be received at our registered office at 890 Yonge Street, 7th Floor, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M4W 3P4 no later than April 27, 2025, (which is the deadline for a proposal to be valid under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the “OBCA”)), which is later than the January 10, 2025 deadline for Shareholder proposals (including nominations of directors by Shareholders) to be submitted for inclusion in our proxy statement under Rule 14a-8 (“Rule 14a-8”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
What if amendments are made to the proposals or if other matters are brought before the Meeting?
With respect to any amendments or variations in any of the proposals shown in the Proxy Statement, or any other matters which may properly come before the Meeting, the Shares will be voted by the appointed proxyholder as he or she in their sole discretion sees fit.
As of the date of this Proxy Statement, the Board is not aware of any such amendments, variations or other matters to come before the Meeting. However, if any such changes that are not currently known to the Board should properly come before the Meeting, the Shares represented by your proxyholders will be voted in accordance with the best judgment of the proxyholders.
Who will tabulate the votes?
We currently expect that Broadridge will tabulate the votes and be our scrutineer for the Meeting.
When will voting results be disclosed?
Preliminary voting results will be announced at the Meeting. Final voting results will be announced via press release and filed with the Canadian securities regulatory authorities on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca promptly following the Meeting and will also be published in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on EDGAR at https://www.sec.gov within four business days of the Meeting.
Who may adjourn the Meeting?
The Meeting may be adjourned to any other time and any other place by the Shareholders present or represented at the Meeting and entitled to vote even when such Shareholders do not constitute a quorum.
What if I have technical difficulties or trouble accessing the virtual Meeting webcast?
We encourage you to test your computer and internet browser prior to the Meeting at the Meeting URL www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/GTMS2024. If you encounter any difficulties accessing the Meeting during the check-in or Meeting time, please call the technical support number that will be posted on the Virtual Shareholder Meeting login page. Technical difficulties may arise during the course of the Meeting. The Chair of the Meeting has discretion as to whether and how the Meeting should proceed if a technical difficulty arises. In exercising this discretion, the Chair of the Meeting will have regard to the number of Shareholders impacted and the extent to which participation in the business of the Meeting is affected. Where the Chair of the Meeting considers it appropriate, the Chair of the Meeting may continue to hold the Meeting and transact business, including conducting a poll and voting in accordance with valid proxy instructions. For this reason, Shareholders are encouraged to complete and submit their form of proxy or voting instruction form in advance of the Meeting even if they plan to attend the Meeting online.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

ITEM NO. 1—ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
Pursuant to the articles of the Company, the number of directors of the Company is set at a minimum of three and a maximum of fifteen, and the Board is authorized to determine the actual number of directors to be elected from time to time. The Company currently has eight directors, and all are being proposed for nomination at the Meeting. Unless they resign, all directors elected at the Meeting will hold office until our next annual meeting of Shareholders or until their successors are elected or appointed.
All nominees have established their eligibility and willingness to serve as directors. Six of the eight nominees are independent within the meaning of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) listing rules and National Instrument 52-110 – Audit Committees (“NI 52-110”). Although the Company is not subject to Nasdaq listing rules, the Company’s director independence standards currently reflect Nasdaq’s director independence standards, as currently in effect. All nominees are currently directors of Greenbrook. Management does not believe that any of the nominees will be unable to serve as a director, but if that should occur for any reason prior to the Meeting, the persons named in the accompanying form of proxy (or voting instruction form) may vote for another nominee at their discretion. Each director shall hold office until the next annual meeting of Shareholders or until the director resigns or a successor is elected or appointed.
The Board believes that each of its members should carry the confidence and support of our Shareholders. To this end, the Board has adopted an individual and majority voting policy (the “Majority Voting Policy”) that requires that Shareholders be able to vote in favor of, or withhold from voting, separately for each nominee for director and that, in an uncontested election of directors, any nominee for director who receives a greater number of votes “withheld” from his or her election than votes “for” such election must immediately tender his or her resignation to the Chair of the Board following the applicable meeting or, if the affected director is the Chair, to each member of the Governance and Nominating Committee (the “GN Committee”). Any resignation received by the Chair of the Board will be promptly referred to the GN Committee for consideration. An “uncontested election” means an election where the number of nominees for directors is equal to the number of directors to be elected.
The GN Committee will, promptly following the resignation but in any event within 30 days of the applicable Shareholders’ meeting, consider the offer of resignation and will recommend to the Board whether or not to accept it. The GN Committee will recommend that the Board accept the resignation absent exceptional circumstances that would warrant the applicable director to continue to serve on the Board.
The Board will act on the GN Committee’s recommendation promptly following its receipt thereof and, in any event, within 90 days of the applicable Shareholders’ meeting. The Board will accept the GN Committee’s recommendation absent exceptional circumstances. If a resignation is accepted, the Board may, subject to applicable law, the articles of our Company and the Investor Rights Agreements (as defined below), appoint a new director to fill any vacancy created by the resignation, reduce the size of the Board or call a meeting of Shareholders to appoint a replacement. A resignation will be effective upon its acceptance by the Board. We will promptly issue a news release with the Board’s decision. If the Board determines not to accept a resignation, the news release will fully state the reasons for that decision.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Board Oversight of Risk
With regard to risk management, the Board ensures that the business of the Company is conducted in compliance with applicable laws and regulations and according to the highest ethical standards; identifies and documents the financial risks and other risks that the Company faces in the course of its business and ensures that such risks are appropriately managed; and has adopted several policies to address such risks as mentioned above.
The Board as a whole has responsibility for risk oversight, with more in-depth reviews of certain areas of risk being conducted by the relevant Board committees that report on their deliberations to the full Board. The Board and its committees fulfill their oversight responsibilities with the support of management, whose reporting processes are designed to provide information to the Board about the identification, assessment and management of critical risks and management’s risk mitigation strategies. Areas of risk evaluated include regulatory, operational, financial (accounting, liquidity and tax), legal, compensation, competitive, health, safety and reputational risks.
The standing committees of the Board oversee risks associated with their respective principal areas of focus. The Audit Committee’s role includes a particular focus on the qualitative aspects of financial reporting to Shareholders, on our processes for the management of business and financial risk, our financial reporting obligations and for compliance with significant applicable legal, ethical and regulatory requirements. The Audit Committee, along with management, is also responsible for developing and participating in a process for review of important financial and operating topics that present potential significant risk to the Company. The Compensation Committee is responsible for overseeing risks and exposures associated with our compensation programs and arrangements, including our executive and director compensation programs and arrangements. The GN Committee is responsible for risks associated with our hiring and recruiting of directors and management and management succession planning.
We recognize that a fundamental part of risk management is understanding not only the risks a company faces and what steps management is taking to manage those risks, but also understanding what level of risk is appropriate for that company. Through their involvement in setting our business strategy, the Board can assess management’s appetite for risk and also determine what constitutes an appropriate level of risk for the Company.
We believe our current Board and committee structure is appropriate and helps ensure proper risk oversight for the Company. The full Board conducts general risk oversight in connection with its role in reviewing our key long-term and short-term business strategies and monitoring on an on-going basis the implementation of our key business strategies, which is supplemented by our standing Board committees that conduct more specific risk oversight related to their responsibilities. The Chair ensures that there is sufficient time on the Board agenda for risk management discussions.
Composition and Independence of the Board
The Board is currently composed of eight directors, a majority (six) of whom meet the independence standards under the listing standards of Nasdaq and NI 52-110. Although the Company is not subject to Nasdaq listing rules, the Company’s director independence standards currently reflect Nasdaq’s director independence standards, as currently in effect. Each member of the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the GN Committee also meet such independence standards, and in the case of Audit Committee members, the additional independence standards of Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act.
Each year, the Board reviews the composition of the Board, the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the GN Committee and assesses whether a Board or committee member is “independent”, including an assessment of any direct or indirect relationship between each Board member, on one hand, and the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or with management, on the other hand, which, in the Board’s opinion, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. Certain aspects of the composition and functioning of our Board are governed by the terms of the Investor Rights Agreements.
Certain members of our Board are also members of the board of directors of other public companies (see “Item No.1 - Election of Directors”). Our Board has not adopted a director interlock policy but is keeping informed of other public directorships held by its members.

Mr. Leonard is President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company is considered a non-independent director because of his role in the Company’s management team.
Meetings of Independent Directors and Conflicts of Interest
Our Board believes that given its size and structure, including the fact that a majority of our directors are independent, it is able to facilitate independent judgment in carrying out its responsibilities. To enhance such independent judgment, the independent members of the Board hold in-camera meetings with members of management and the non-independent directors not in attendance, as part of regularly scheduled Board meetings. Open and candid discussion among the independent directors is facilitated by the relatively small size of the Board and great weight is attributed to the views and opinions of the independent directors. Our Board has not appointed an independent Chair; however, assuming Frank Tworecke is elected at the Meeting, Mr. Tworecke will be appointed as lead director by our Board. The lead director is responsible for ensuring that the directors who are independent of management have opportunities to meet without management present, as required. The lead director shall be appointed and replaced from time to time by the Board. Discussions are led by the lead director who provides feedback subsequently to the Chair.
A director who has a material interest in a matter before our Board or any committee on which he or she serves is required to disclose such interest as soon as the director becomes aware of it. In situations where a director has a material interest in a matter to be considered by our Board or any committee on which he or she serves, such director may be required to absent himself or herself from the meeting while discussions and voting with respect to the matter are taking place. Directors are also required to comply with the relevant provisions of the OBCA regarding conflicts of interest.
Investor Rights Agreements
Pursuant to an investor rights agreement among the Company, Greybrook Health, 1315 Capital, and Masters (the “2021 Investor Rights Agreement”) entered into on June 14, 2021, Greybrook Health, 1315 Capital, and Masters were each granted the right to nominate one director for so long as such party (including its permitted affiliates) owns, controls or directs 5% or more of the Company’s outstanding Shares.
Pursuant to an investor rights agreement between the Company and Benjamin Klein (the “Klein Investor Rights Agreement” and, together with the 2021 Investor Rights Agreement, the “Investor Rights Agreements”) entered into on July 14, 2022, Benjamin Klein was granted the right to nominate one director for so long as Mr. Klein (including its permitted affiliates) owns, controls or directs 5% or more of the Company’s outstanding Shares.
Pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreements, Greybrook Health, 1315 Capital, Masters and Benjamin Klein may exercise their respective nomination rights by submitting their nominees to the Board, which reviews the proposed nominations together with the remaining director nominations, determined solely by the Board or the GN Committee, to be elected by the Shareholders at the Meeting. None of 1315 Capital, Benjamin Klein and Masters have exercised their director nomination rights in respect of the Meeting.
The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the provisions of the Investor Rights Agreements. Copies of the Investor Rights Agreements are available under the Company’s profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com

Committees of our Board
Our Board has now established three committees: the Audit Committee, the GN Committee and the Compensation Committee. All members of the Audit Committee, the GN Committee and the Compensation Committee are persons determined by our Board to be independent directors in accordance with the listing standards of Nasdaq and NI 52-110.
Audit Committee
The Board has a separately designated standing Audit Committee established for the purpose of overseeing the accounting and financial reporting processes of the Company and audits of the financial statements of the Company. Our Audit Committee consists of three (3) directors, each of whom are persons determined by our Board to be both independent directors and financially literate or sophisticated, each within the meaning of applicable U.S. and Canadian securities laws. Our Audit Committee is currently comprised of:
Colleen Campbell (Chair);
Surindra Mann; and
Frank Tworecke.
Each of our Audit Committee members has an understanding of the accounting principles used to prepare financial statements and varied experience as to the general application of such accounting principles, as well as an understanding of the internal controls and procedures necessary for financial reporting. For additional details regarding the relevant education and experience of each member of our Audit Committee, see “Item No. 1 - Election of Directors”. Each of Ms. Campbell, Ms. Mann and Mr. Tworecke is independent under Nasdaq listing standards, Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act and NI 52-110.
Our Board has adopted a written charter for the Audit Committee that sets out the purpose, composition, authority and responsibility of our Audit Committee. A copy of the charter of our Audit Committee has been posted on our website at www.greenbrooktms.com. The Audit Committee assists our Board in discharging its oversight of:
the quality and integrity of our financial statements and related information;
the independence, qualifications and appointment of our external auditor;
our disclosure controls and procedures, internal control over financial reporting and management’s responsibility for assessing and reporting on the effectiveness of such controls;
our risk management processes;
monitoring and periodically reviewing our whistleblower policy; and
transactions with our related parties.
Our Audit Committee has access to all of our books, records, facilities and personnel and may request any information about us as it may deem appropriate. It also has the authority, in its sole discretion and at our expense, to retain and set the compensation of outside legal, accounting or other advisors as necessary to assist in the performance of its duties and responsibilities. Our Audit Committee also has direct communication channels with the Chief Financial Officer and our external auditors to discuss and review such issues as our Audit Committee may deem appropriate.
The Board has determined that Colleen Campbell, an independent director, is an “audit committee financial expert” within the meaning of the rules of the SEC.

Governance and Nominating Committee
Our GN Committee is comprised of three (3) directors, each of whom has been determined by our Board to be an independent director, and is charged with reviewing, overseeing, and evaluating our corporate governance and nominating policies. Our GN Committee is currently comprised of:
Frank Tworecke;
Brian P. Burke; and
Juliana Elstad.
No member of our GN Committee is an officer of Greenbrook, and as such, our Board believes that the GN Committee is able to conduct its activities in an objective manner.
Our Board believes that the members of the GN Committee individually and collectively possess the requisite knowledge, skill, and experience in governance matters, including human resource management and general business leadership, to fulfill the GN Committee’s mandate. All members of the GN Committee have substantial knowledge and experience as current and former senior executives of large and complex organizations. For additional details regarding the relevant education and experience of each member of the GN Committee see “Item No. 1 - Election of Directors”.
Our Board has adopted a written charter for the GN Committee that sets forth the purpose, composition, authority and responsibility of our GN Committee. A copy of the written charter of the GN Committee has been posted on our website at www.greenbrooktms.com. Our GN Committee’s purpose is to assist our Board in:
the recruitment, development, and retention of our senior executives;
maintaining talent management and succession planning systems and processes relating to our senior management;
developing our corporate governance guidelines and principles and providing us with governance leadership;
identifying and overseeing the recruitment of candidates qualified to be nominated as members of our Board;
reviewing the structure, composition, and mandate of Board committees; and
evaluating the performance and effectiveness of our Board and of our Board committees.
Our GN Committee is responsible for establishing and implementing procedures to evaluate the performance and effectiveness of our Board, committees of our Board and the contributions of individual Board members. Our GN Committee also takes reasonable steps to evaluate and assess, on an annual basis, directors’ performance and effectiveness of our Board, committees of our Board, individual Board members, our chair and committee chairs. The assessment addresses, among other things, individual director independence, individual director and overall Board skills, and individual director financial literacy. Our Board receives and considers the recommendations from our GN Committee regarding the results of the evaluation of the performance and effectiveness of our Board, committees of our Board, individual Board members, our chair and committee chairs. In identifying new candidates for our Board, the GN Committee will consider what competencies and skills our Board, as a whole, should possess and assess what
24

TABLE OF CONTENTS

competencies and skills each existing director possesses, considering our Board as a group, and the personality and other qualities of each director, as these may ultimately determine the boardroom dynamic. Our GN Committee is also responsible for orientation and continuing education programs for our directors. See also “— Orientation and Continuing Education” below.
The GN Committee does not have a policy regarding the consideration of any director recommended by Shareholders. The GN Committee will consider candidates nominated by Shareholders, including pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreements, using the same assessment tools that are used to evaluate other director nominees. For more information on how Shareholders can nominate a director see “2025 Shareholder Proposals”.
The GN Committee did not meet during the period from January 1, 2023 until December 31, 2023, but took action by written consent three times during the year.
Compensation Committee
Our Compensation Committee is comprised of three (3) directors, each of whom has been determined by our Board to be an independent director, and is charged with reviewing, overseeing and evaluating our compensation policies. Our Compensation Committee is currently comprised of:
Brian P. Burke (Chair);
Surindra Mann; and
Frank Tworecke.
No member of our Compensation Committee is an officer of Greenbrook, and as such, our Board believes that the Compensation Committee is able to conduct its activities in an objective manner.
Our Board believes that the members of the Compensation Committee individually and collectively possess the requisite knowledge, skill and experience in compensation matters, including human resource management, executive compensation matters and general business leadership, to fulfill the Compensation Committee’s mandate. All members of the Compensation Committee have substantial knowledge and experience as current and former senior executives of large and complex organizations. For additional details regarding the relevant education and experience of each member of our Compensation Committee, including direct exposure that is relevant to each committee member’s responsibilities in executive compensation, see “Item No. 1 - Election of Directors”. The Compensation Committee can use consultants to help determine amount or forms of executive compensation but cannot fully delegate its authority to any consultant or non-member of the Compensation Committee. Furthermore, no executive officers have a role in determining amounts or forms of executive director compensation.
Our Board has adopted a written charter for the Compensation Committee that sets forth the purpose, composition, authority and responsibility of our Compensation Committee. A copy of the charter has been posted on our website at www.greenbrooktms.com. Our Compensation Committee’s purpose is to assist our Board in:
the appointment, performance, evaluation and compensation of our senior executives;
developing a compensation structure for our senior executives including salaries, annual and long-term incentive plans including plans involving Share issuances and other Share-based awards;
establishing policies and procedures designed to identify and mitigate risks associated with our compensation policies and practices;
assessing the compensation of our directors; and
developing benefit, retirement and savings plans.

Director Term Limits and Other Mechanisms of Board Renewal
Directors are to be elected at each annual meeting of Shareholders to hold office for a term expiring at the close of the next annual meeting, or until a successor is appointed or elected, and will be eligible for re-election. Nominees will be nominated by the GN Committee, in each case for election by Shareholders as directors in accordance with the provisions of our constating documents and applicable corporate and securities laws. All nominees who are nominated by the GN Committee will be included in the proxy-related materials to be sent to Shareholders prior to each annual meeting of Shareholders.
Our Board has not adopted director term limits or other automatic mechanisms of board renewal. The Company believes such limits and automatic mechanisms would discount the value of experience and unnecessarily deprive the Company of the contribution by directors who have developed a deep knowledge of the Company over time. Rather than adopting formal term limits, mandatory age-related retirement policies and other mechanisms of board renewal, the GN Committee will seek to maintain the composition of our Board in a way that provides, in the judgment of our Board, the best mix of skills and experience to provide for our overall stewardship. Our GN Committee is also expected to conduct a process for the assessment of our Board, each committee and each director regarding his, her or its effectiveness and performance, and to report evaluation results to our Board. See also “Diversity”.
Under the OBCA, a director may be removed with or without cause by a resolution passed by an ordinary majority of the votes cast by our Shareholders present in person or by proxy at a meeting of our Shareholders and who are entitled to vote.
Orientation and Continuing Education
To maintain reasonable assurance that every new director engages in a comprehensive orientation process and that all directors are provided with continuing education opportunities, the GN Committee has implemented an orientation program for new directors under which a new director will meet with the chair, the lead director, and members of senior management. New directors will be provided with comprehensive orientation and education as to the nature and operation of the Company and our business, the role of our Board and its committees, and the contribution that an individual director is expected to make. The GN Committee is responsible for overseeing director continuing education designed to maintain or enhance the skills and abilities of the directors and to ensure that their knowledge and understanding of our business remains current. The chair of each committee is responsible for coordinating orientation and continuing director development programs relating to the GN Committee’s mandate.
Ethical Business Conduct
We have adopted a written code of conduct (the “Code of Conduct”) that applies to all of our directors, officers and employees. The objective of the Code of Conduct is to provide guidelines for maintaining our and our subsidiaries’ integrity, reputation, honesty, objectivity and impartiality. The Code of Conduct addresses conflicts of interest, protection of our assets, confidentiality, fair dealing with our Shareholders, competitors and employees, insider trading, compliance with laws and reporting any illegal or unethical behavior. As part of the Code of Conduct, any person subject to the Code of Conduct is required to avoid or fully disclose interests or relationships that are harmful or detrimental to our best interests or that may give rise to real, potential or the appearance of conflicts of interest. Our Board has ultimate responsibility for the stewardship of the Code of Conduct and it monitors compliance through the GN Committee. Directors, officers and employees are required to annually certify that they have not violated the Code of Conduct.
The Code of Conduct is available on our website at www.greenbrooktms.com and on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Diversity
We believe that having a diverse Board can offer a breadth and depth of perspectives that enhance our Board’s performance. We value diversity of abilities, experience, perspective, education, gender, background, race and national origin. Recommendations to the GN Committee concerning director nominees are expected to be based on merit and past performance as well as expected contribution to our Board’s performance and, accordingly, diversity is taken into consideration. As of the Record Date, three of eight members on our Board are women (37.5%). Following the Meeting, assuming all director nominees are elected by Shareholders, three of eight, or 37.5% of the directors will be women.
We have recruited and selected management candidates that represent a diversity of business understanding, personal attributes, abilities and experience. Currently, 5 of 11 members of our management team (including vice presidents), or 45%, are female.
We do not currently have a formal policy for the representation and nomination of women on our Board or our management, as we have been successful in recruiting and retaining qualified female directors and management under our existing recruitment policies and processes. We have not adopted formal targets for gender or other diversity representation in part due to the need to consider a balance of criteria for each individual appointment.
The composition of our Board and management is shaped by the selection criteria established by the GN Committee. This is achieved by, among other things, ensuring that diversity considerations are taken into account in Board vacancies and management, monitoring the level of female representation on our Board and in management positions, continuing to broaden recruiting efforts to attract and interview qualified female candidates, and committing to retention and training to ensure that our most talented employees are promoted from within our organization.
Disclosure Policy
The Board has adopted a Disclosure Policy to deal with the timely dissemination of all material information (the “Disclosure Policy”). The Disclosure Policy, which will be reviewed annually, establishes consistent guidance for determining what information is material and how it is to be disclosed to avoid selective disclosure and to ensure wide dissemination. The Board, directly and through its committees, reviews and approves the contents of major disclosure documents. We seek to communicate to our Shareholders through these documents as well as by means of news releases, our website and investor relations calls and meetings.
Disclosure Committee
A disclosure committee comprised of the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer, and the Chairman of the Company (the “Disclosure Committee”) oversees the Company’s disclosure process as outlined in the Disclosure Policy. The Disclosure Committee’s mandate includes ensuring that effective controls and procedures are in place to allow the Company to satisfy all of its continuous disclosure obligations, including certification requirements. The Disclosure Committee is also responsible for ensuring that the policies and procedures contained in the Disclosure Policy are in compliance with regulatory requirements. Our Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing our disclosure relating to our financial reporting.
Insider Trading Policy
The Company has an insider trading policy which governs the purchase, sale and other dispositions of our securities by our directors, officers and other employees. This policy promotes compliance with applicable securities laws and regulations, including those that prohibit insider trading. A copy of our Insider Trading Policy is filed as Exhibit 19.1 to the Annual Report and is located on our website at www.greenbrooktms.com under the heading “Investor Relations—Governance”.
Shareholder Communications with the Board
Historically, the Company has not provided a formal process related to Shareholder communications with the Board. Nevertheless, every effort has been made to ensure that the views of Shareholders are heard by the Board or individual directors, as applicable, and that appropriate responses are provided to Shareholders in a timely manner. The Company believes its responsiveness to Shareholder communications to the Board has been effective.

Mr. Loubser voluntarily left the Company effective as of October 20, 2023. Mr. Loubser was not entitled to receive any severance payments, incremental payments or benefits in respect of his awards outstanding under the Equity Incentive Plan in connection with his departure.
The other NEOs have not entered into an offer letter, employment agreement, restrictive covenant agreement or other written employment arrangement with the Company or any of its subsidiaries. Further, no NEOs (except with respect to Mr. Leonard as described above) are entitled to any payments or benefits at, following, or in connection with the resignation, retirement or other termination, or a change in control of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or a change in the executive’s responsibilities following such change in control, whether pursuant to a written or unwritten contract, agreement, plan or other arrangement.
Base Salary
Base salary is provided as a fixed source of compensation for our executive officers. Base salaries are determined on an individual basis taking into account the scope of the executive officer’s responsibilities and their prior experience. Base salaries are reviewed annually by the Board and may be increased based on the executive officer’s success in meeting or exceeding individual objectives, as well as to maintain market competitiveness. In addition, base salaries can be adjusted as warranted throughout the year to reflect promotions or other changes in the scope or breadth of an executive officer’s role or responsibilities.
Discretionary Annual Bonus
The Board believes that its ability to exercise discretion and judgment is critical to ensuring that annual bonuses reflect the assessment of risk in the decisions and actions taken by our executive team and consider unexpected circumstances or events that have occurred during the year. In determining annual bonus amounts, the Board reviews each NEO’s performance over the year, including how their decisions and actions align with the Company’s long-term strategy and how they considered the risks associated with such decisions, along with the Company’s performance over the year. The discretionary annual bonus, if any, typically represents less than 50% of an NEO’s total compensation. No NEOs have a contractual right to a bonus in respect of Fiscal 2023. Any discretionary annual bonuses for each NEO for Fiscal 2023 have not yet been determined.
Equity Incentive Plan
In 2018, the Company established its a stock option plan, which was amended and restated by our Board on May 24, 2019 (and approved by our shareholders on June 28, 2019) (as amended and restated, the “Stock Option Plan”). In 2021, the Stock Option Plan was further amended and restated by our Board on May 6, 2021 (and approved by our shareholders on June 14, 2021) and is now referred to as the Amended and Restated Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan, The Equity Incentive Plan, as amended and restated on May 6, 2021, applies to all stock options (“Options”), restricted share units (“RSUs”) and performance share units (“PSUs” and, collectively with the Options and RSUs, the “Awards”) granted on or after May 6, 2021. No changes were made to the Equity Incentive Plan in Fiscal 2023. The Equity Incentive Plan provides eligible participants with compensation opportunities that enhance our ability to attract and retain our executive officers, other key employees, directors and consultants and ensure that their interests are aligned with the success of the Company and its affiliates. The material features of the Awards are summarized below.
Stock Options
The terms and conditions of grants of Options, including the quantity, grant date, exercise price, vesting conditions and other applicable terms and conditions, will be set out in the participant’s grant agreement. The exercise price for
31

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Options will be determined by our Board, which may not be less than the fair market value of a Share (the “Fair Market Value”) on the date the Option is granted. Options will vest in accordance with the vesting schedule established on the grant date, which historically has been as to one-third on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date.
Options must be exercised within a period fixed by our Board that may not exceed ten years from the date of grant, provided that if the expiry date falls during a blackout period, the expiry date will be automatically extended until ten business days after the end of the blackout period. The Equity Incentive Plan also provides for earlier expiration of Options upon the occurrence of certain events, including the termination of a participant’s employment, as described further below.
In order to facilitate the payment of the exercise price of the Options, the Equity Incentive Plan contains a cashless exercise feature and a net settlement feature. Additionally, vested Options can be exercised by payment in full of the applicable exercise price in cash or by certified check, bank draft or money order payable to the Company or by such other means as might be specified from time to time by the Board.
RSUs and PSUs
The terms and conditions of grants of RSUs and PSUs, including the quantity, type of award, grant date, vesting conditions, vesting periods, settlement date and other applicable terms and conditions, will be set out in the participant’s grant agreement.
In the case of PSUs, the performance-related vesting conditions may include financial or operational performance of the Company, total shareholder return (either absolute or relative or both), individual performance criteria or other criteria as determined by our Board, which will be measured over a specified period, generally until the end of the third calendar year from the date of the grant.
Subject to the achievement of the applicable vesting and performance-related (if applicable) conditions, on the settlement date of an RSU or PSU, the Company will either, in its sole discretion (i) issue from treasury the number of Shares covered by the RSUs or PSUs and related Dividend Share Units (as defined below), or (ii) deliver to the participant an amount in cash (net of applicable withholding taxes) equal to the number of Shares covered by the RSUs or PSUs and related Dividend Share Units multiplied by the Fair Market Value as at the settlement date, or (iii) a combination of (i) and (ii). Notwithstanding the ability for the Company to settle vested RSUs (and related Dividend Share Units) in Shares pursuant to subsection (i) or through a cash payment pursuant to subsection (ii) above, vested RSUs held by directors who are Canadian taxpayers will be settled in Shares pursuant to subsection (i); provided that, the Company may, in its sole discretion, permit such a director to elect to receive a cash payment pursuant to subsection (ii).
Dividend Share Units
When dividends (other than stock dividends) are paid on Shares, additional share units (“Dividend Share Units”) will be automatically credited to each participant who holds RSUs or PSUs on the record date for such dividends. The number of Dividend Share Units to be credited to a participant is equal to the aggregate number of RSUs and PSUs held by the participant on the relevant record date multiplied by the amount of the dividend paid by the Company on each Share, and then divided by the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the dividend payment date. Dividend Share Units shall be in the form of RSUs or PSUs, as applicable. Dividend Share Units credited to a participant will be subject to the same vesting conditions applicable to the related RSUs or PSUs.
Cessation of Employment or Services
Unless otherwise determined by our Board or if a participant’s employment agreement or consulting agreement or arrangement expressly provides more favorable rights with respect to the Awards, in the event of a cessation of employment or services, the following rights apply.
In the event a participant ceases to be an employee, director or consultant of the Company or a designated affiliate, all outstanding Awards granted to the participant under the Equity Incentive Plan that are unvested on the cessation date will be forfeited. All outstanding Options that have vested as of the cessation date will be exercisable as follows, after which time such vested Options will automatically terminate: (i) if the participant ceases to be an employee, director or an individual consultant by reason of death or disability, the participant’s Options must be exercised within nine (9) months of the date of death or disability; (ii) if the participant ceases to be an employee, director or consultant
32

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(whether an individual or entity) by reason of termination without cause, the participant’s Options must be exercised within three (3) months of the cessation date; (iii) if the participant ceases to be an employee, director or consultant (whether an individual or entity) by reason of voluntary resignation or termination, the participant’s Options must be exercised within thirty (30) days of the cessation date; and (iv) if the participant ceases to be an employee, director or consultant (whether an individual or entity) by reason of termination for cause, the participant’s Options will automatically terminate on the cessation date and may no longer be exercised. In no event may Options be exercised later than the applicable expiry date of the Options, after which time all remaining Options will terminate. Any vested RSUs or PSUs held by the participant will be settled as soon as practicable following the cessation date.
In the event a participant ceases to be an employee, director or consultant of the Company or a designated affiliate due to a termination for cause, all Awards (whether vested or unvested) will be forfeited on the cessation date.
Retirement Benefits
TMS NeuroHealth Services US sponsors a tax-qualified retirement savings plan (the “401(k) Plan) for its U.S. employees. The TMS NeuroHealth Services US provides an employer safe harbor matching contribution equal to 100% of a participant’s salary deferrals under the 401(k) Plan up to the first 1% of plan eligible compensation, plus 50% of a participant’s salary deferrals under the 401(k) Plan up to the next 5% of plan eligible compensation, subject to the limits imposed by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service. Mr. Leonard participates in the 401(k)Plan and received $15,094 in employer matching contributions for Fiscal 2023. Dr. Grammer participates in the 401(k) Plan and received $10,281 in employer matching contributions for Fiscal Year 2022 and $10,500 in employer matching contributions for Fiscal 2023.
Other than the 401(k) Plan, the Company does not have any retirement or pension plans that provide for payments of benefits at, following or in connection with, retirement or provide for retirement or deferred compensation plans for the NEOs or directors.
Other Benefits
The Company provides certain executive officers with disability, health and dental insurance programs on a comparable basis as other employees of the Company. These benefits are offered in a manner consistent with local market practice.
The Company does not offer significant perquisites as part of its compensation program.
Clawback Policy
On November 8, 2023, the Board approved an enhanced clawback policy (the “Clawback Policy”) covering the recoupment of compensation in the case of a financial restatement by the Company or misconduct by an executive officer. The Clawback Policy went into effect on December 1, 2023, and is filed as an exhibit to the Annual Report. The Clawback Policy covers all requirements under Section 10D of the Exchange Act and Rule 10D-1 promulgated thereunder, as well as the applicable listing standards implementing these requirements, and continues to cover recoupment of compensation for all covered employees in the case of misconduct.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
Overview
The following discussion describes the significant elements of the compensation program for members of the Board and its committees. The compensation of our directors is designed to attract and retain committed and qualified directors and to align their compensation with the long-term interests of the holders of our Shares. Directors who are employees of the Company (each, an “Excluded Director”) are not entitled to receive any compensation for his or her service as a member of our Board.
Director Fees
In consideration for serving on our Board, each director (other than Excluded Directors) was entitled to receive the following retainer fees for Fiscal 2023: $40,000 for serving as a member of the Board; an additional $50,000 for serving as the Chair of the Board; an additional $15,000 for serving as the Chair of the Audit Committee; an additional $10,000 for serving as the Chair of the Governance and Nominating Committee; and an additional $10,000 for serving as the Chair of the Compensation Committee. Directors were not entitled to receive any additional fees for attending a Board or committee meeting or for serving as a member of a committee.
All directors (including Excluded Directors) were entitled to be reimbursed for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with their services as directors.
Deferred Share Unit Plan for Non-Employee Directors
On May 6, 2021, the Company adopted a deferred share unit plan for non-employee directors (the “DSU Plan”). Each director (other than Excluded Directors) is required to take at least 50% of their annual retainer (other than annual committee Chair retainers) in deferred share units (“DSUs”) and may elect to take additional amounts of their annual retainer in the form of DSUs. Discretionary DSUs may also be granted to non-employee directors under the DSU Plan. Each director wishing to make an election for additional DSUs will be required to elect no later than the end of the calendar year preceding the year in which such election is to apply (and, in the case of a new director, within 30 days after the director’s appointment).
A DSU is a unit, equivalent in value to a Share, credited by means of a bookkeeping entry in the books of the Company, to an account in the name of the director. If and when cash dividends are paid on Shares, additional DSUs will automatically be granted to each director who holds DSUs on the record date for such dividends. Following an eligible director ceasing to hold all positions with the Company, the director will receive a payment in cash at the fair market value of the Shares represented by his or her DSUs generally within ten days of the director’s elected redemption date. Each director’s elected redemption date will not be earlier than the date the director ceases to hold all positions with the Company and will not be later than December 31 of the year following the year in which the director ceases to hold all positions with the Company.
Director Option Grants
Prior to Fiscal 2021, in lieu of receiving a higher annual cash retainer, each director (other than Excluded Directors) was granted Options under the Equity Incentive Plan each year as follows: 10,000 Options were granted to the Chair of the Board; 5,000 Options were granted to each director; and an additional 1,000 Options were granted to each director who was also a Board committee chair. These Options generally vest in three instalments and will generally expire on the tenth anniversary of the grant date. For further details regarding the Equity Incentive Plan, see, “—Executive Compensation—Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table—Equity Compensation.”
No Options were granted to any non-employee directors in Fiscal 2021 and in subsequent fiscal years.

The amount reported in this column for each director represents the total amount of the director’s retainer fees earned during Fiscal 2023, including such portion of the retainer fees that the director elected to receive in DSUs. See the table below for the portion of the retainer fees that were paid in cash vs. DSUs.

Other than the DSUs that were granted in lieu of the cash retainer fees, there were no share-based awards, Option-based awards, non-equity incentive plan compensation, or any other compensation paid to the directors in Fiscal 2023.
Form of Receipt of Director Fees
The following table identifies for each non-employee director the portion of the dollar amount included in the “Fees Earned” column in the Director Compensation Table that is received in cash, and the portion of such dollar amount that is received in DSUs. The number of DSUs awarded is equal to the dollar amount of such portion of the fees accruing each quarter which is required or elected to be received in DSUs, divided by the Fair Market Value at the designated date of grant of each quarter for which fees were earned. The value of the DSUs is calculated based on the Fair Market Value on the applicable date of grant.

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures
The written charter of the Audit Committee provides that the Audit Committee must pre-approve the retaining of the auditors for any audit or non-audit service. The pre-approval process involves management presenting the Audit Committee with a description of any proposed non-audit services. The Audit Committee considers the appropriateness of such services and whether the provision of those services would impact the auditor’s independence. The Audit Committee may delegate to one or more members the authority to pre-approve the retaining of the auditors for any non-audit service to the extent permitted by law, but pre-approval by such member or members so delegated must be presented to the full Audit Committee at its first scheduled meeting following such pre-approval. None of the services provided by the Company’s external auditors described above were approved pursuant to a waiver of pre-approval provisions under SEC rules (paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X).

This report is furnished by the Audit Committee of the Board with respect to our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023.
One of the purposes of the Audit Committee is to oversee our accounting and financial reporting processes and the audit of our annual financial statements. Our management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of

In performing its oversight role, the Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed with management our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. Management represented to the Audit Committee that our financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Audit Committee has discussed with KPMG LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, the matters required to be discussed under applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and the SEC.
