HOW TO ACCESS THE MEETING MATERIALS

We are using the notice-and-access rules permitted by Canadian securities regulators to deliver the materials for our 2026 annual and special meeting of shareholders to our registered and non-registered shareholders to consciously reduce paper waste and mailing costs. You will still receive in the mail a copy of this notice with instructions to access the meeting materials, as well as a proxy form (if you are a registered shareholder) or a voting instruction form (if you are a non-registered or beneficial shareholder, unless you have elected to receive the form electronically). We intend to pay the cost for intermediaries to send the materials to non-registered shareholders who object to their intermediary disclosing their share ownership information to us.

Materials for the meeting include the 2026 management information circular, and our audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 28, 2025. These documents are available on our website (www.gildancorp.com), on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca) and EDGAR (www.sec.gov). Our 2025 Modern Slavery Report, a report that is required to be provided to shareholders of the Company under Canada’s Fighting Against Forced Labour and Child Labour in Supply Chains Act, is also available on our website (www.gildancorp.com) and on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca).
