The Board of Directors of American Pacific recommends that Shareholders vote FOR the

Arrangement.

How to Vote

A proxy form or voting instruction form will accompany the Meeting Materials you receive by mail.

Instructions on how to vote, which vary depending on whether you are a beneficial Shareholder or

a registered Shareholder of the Company are provided in the Circular and in the other Meeting

Materials.

Registered Shareholders

You are a Registered Shareholder if your American Pacific Shares are held in your name or if you have

a certificate or DRS statement for American Pacific Shares. If you are a registered holder of shares as

of the record date ( January 2, 2062 ), you can vote by attending the Meeting in -person or by

submitting your form of proxy or VIFs (as defined herein) in accordance with the instructions set out

therein.:

• Mail or Delivery: Return the proxy to TSX Trust Company (“TSX Trust”) at 733 Seymour

Street, Suite 2310, Vancouver, BC V6B 0S6 by 10:00 a.m. (Vancouver time) on February 23,

2026, or at least 48 hours (excluding weekends and holidays) before the Meeting if

adjourned or postponed.

• Internet: Vote online at www.voteproxyonline.com using the 12-digit control number

located on your proxy.

Voting by proxy will not prevent you from voting in person should you attend the Meeting and revoke

your proxy. However, submitting your proxy in advance ensures your vote is counted if you are

unable to attend.

To appoint a proxyholder other than those named in the form of proxy, cross out the printed names

and insert the name of your chosen proxyholder in the space provided. Your proxyholder need not

be a shareholder.

You may provide voting instructions by marking the appropriate boxes on the form of proxy. If you

do not indicate a preference, the named proxyholders will vote FOR the Arrangement unless

LEGAL_48735367.3

instructed otherwise. Proxies also confer discretionary authority on other business that may properly

come before the Meeting.

You may revoke a submitted proxy by:

• Submitting a later-dated proxy or notice of revocation to TSX Trust as noted above;

• Attending the Meeting and voting in person; or

• Any other manner provided by law.

Your proxy will only be revoked if a revocation is received by 5:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) on the last

Business Day before the day of the Meeting.

Beneficial Shareholders

If you hold shares through a broker, bank, or other intermediary, you are considered a beneficial

shareholder. Your shares are likely registered under the name of your intermediary or its nominee.

You will receive a Voting Instruction Form (“VIF”) instead of a proxy. Follow the instructions provided

by your intermediary or Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc., (“ Broadridge”) which manages voting

for many brokers in Canada and the U.S.

If you wish to appoint someone else (including yourself) to vote your shares at the Meeting, write

that person’s name in the space provided on the VIF and return the form to Broadridge in accordance

with the provided instructions (by mail, phone, fax, or online). VIFs must be returned well in advance

of the Meeting to ensure your shares are voted or represented by a proxyholder.

Shareholder Questions

Shareholders who would like additional copies, without charge, of the Circular or have additional

questions about the Arrangement, including the procedures for voting or completing transmittal

documents, should contact their broker or the Company’s CFO, Alnesh Mohan, at
