PART I
INFORMATION REQUIRED TO BE DELIVERED TO OFFEREES OR PURCHASERS

No securities regulatory authority has expressed an opinion about these securities and it is an offence to claim otherwise.

This short form prospectus has been filed under legislation in all provinces of Canada that permits certain information about these securities to be determined after this prospectus has become final and that permits the omission from this prospectus of that information. The legislation requires the delivery to purchasers of a prospectus supplement containing the omitted information within a specified period of time after agreeing to purchase any of these securities, except in cases where an exemption from such delivery requirements is available or has been obtained.

This short form prospectus constitutes a public offering of these securities only in those jurisdictions where they may be lawfully offered for sale and therein only by persons permitted to sell such securities. Information has been incorporated by reference in this short form prospectus from documents filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and with securities commissions or similar authorities in Canada. Copies of the documents incorporated herein by reference may be obtained on request without charge from the Corporate Secretary of The Descartes Systems Group Inc. at 120 Randall Drive, Waterloo, Ontario, N2V 1C6, telephone (519) 746-8110 and are also available electronically at www.sec.gov/edgar.shtml or www.sedarplus.com.

The Descartes Systems Group Inc. (“Descartes”, “we”, “us”, “our” or the “Company”) may from time to time offer and issue the following securities: (i) common shares (the “Common Shares”); (ii) preferred shares (the “Preferred Shares”); (iii) senior or subordinated unsecured debt securities (collectively, the “Debt Securities”); (iv) subscription receipts (the “Subscription Receipts”); (v) warrants (the “Warrants”); and (vi) securities comprised of more than one of the Common Shares, Preferred Shares, Debt Securities, Subscription Receipts and/or Warrants offered together as a unit (the “Units”), during the 37-month period that this short form base shelf prospectus, including any amendments thereto (this “Prospectus”), remains valid, subject to satisfaction of applicable securities law requirements. The Common Shares, Preferred Shares, Debt Securities, Subscription Receipts, Warrants and Units (collectively, the “Securities”) may be offered separately or together, in separate series, in amounts, at prices and on terms to be set forth in one or more shelf prospectus supplements (each a “Prospectus Supplement”) to be incorporated by reference in this Prospectus for the purpose of such offering, including by way of transactions that are deemed to be “at-the-market distributions” as defined in National Instrument 44-102 - Shelf Distributions (“NI 44-102”).

This Prospectus is filed under Part 9B of NI 44-102. Descartes has satisfied the requirements for issuers filing a well-known seasoned issuer base shelf prospectus and for a receipt for this Prospectus to be deemed to be issued in all jurisdictions in Canada in which this Prospectus has been filed. No regulator or securities regulatory authority has reviewed this Prospectus. See “Well-Known Seasoned Issuers”.

All shelf information not included in this Prospectus will be contained in one or more Prospectus Supplements that will be delivered to purchasers together with this Prospectus, except in cases where an exemption from such delivery requirements is available or has been obtained.

The specific terms of the Securities will be set forth in the applicable Prospectus Supplement and may include, where applicable: (A) in the case of Common Shares, (i) the number of Common Shares offered; (ii) the offering price (in the event that the offering is a fixed price distribution); (iii) the manner of determining the offering price(s) (in the event that the offering is not a fixed price distribution); and (iv) any other material specific terms; (B) in the case of Preferred Shares, (i) the offering price of the Preferred Shares (in the event that the offering is a fixed price distribution); (ii) the manner of determining the offering price(s) (in the event that the offering is not a fixed price distribution); (iii) the title and designation of the number of shares of the series of Preferred Shares; (iv) the dividend rate or method of calculation, the payment dates for dividends and the place or places where the dividends will be paid, whether dividends will be cumulative or noncumulative, and, if cumulative, the dates from which dividends will begin to accumulate; (v) any conversion or exchange features or rights; (vi) whether the Preferred Shares will be subject to redemption and the redemption price and other terms and conditions relative to the redemption rights; (vii) any

liquidation rights; (viii) any sinking fund provisions; (ix) any voting rights; (x) whether the Preferred Shares will be issued in fully registered or “book-entry only” form; (xi) any other rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to the Preferred Shares; (xii) any risk factors associated with the Preferred Shares; (xiii) whether the Preferred Shares will be listed on any securities exchange; and (xiv) any other material specific terms; (C) in the case of Debt Securities, (i) the designation, aggregate principal amount and authorized denominations of the Debt Securities; (ii) the percentage of the principal amount at which the Debt Securities will be issued; (iii) the date or dates on which the Debt Securities will mature; (iv) the rate or rates per annum at which the Debt Securities will bear interest (if any), or the method of determination of such rates (if any); (v) the dates on which such interest will be payable and the record dates for such payments; (vi) the Trustee (as defined herein) under the Trust Indenture (as defined herein) pursuant to which the Debt Securities are to be issued; (vii) any redemption term or terms under which the Debt Securities may be defeased; (viii) whether the Debt Securities are to be issued in registered form, “book-entry only” form, bearer form or in the form of temporary or permanent global securities and the basis of exchange, transfer and ownership thereof; (ix) any exchange or conversion terms; (x) any sinking or purchase fund provisions; (xi) any risk factors associated with the Debt Securities; (xii) whether the Debt Securities will be listed on any securities exchange; and (xiii) any other material specific terms; (D) in the case of Subscription Receipts, (i) the number of Subscription Receipts; (ii) the price at which the Subscription Receipts will be offered and whether the price is payable in instalments; (iii) conditions to the exchange of Subscription Receipts for Securities or other securities and the consequences of such conditions not being satisfied; (iv) the procedures for the exchange of the Subscription Receipts for Securities or other securities; (v) the number of underlying Securities or other securities that may be exchanged upon exercise of each Subscription Receipt; (vi) the dates or periods during which the Subscription Receipts may be exchanged for Securities or other securities; (vii) whether the Subscription Receipts and underlying Securities or other securities will be listed on any securities exchange; (viii) whether the Subscription Receipts and underlying Securities or other securities will be issued in fully registered or “book-entry only” form; (ix) any other rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to the Subscription Receipts; (x) any risk factors associated with the Subscription Receipts and underlying Securities or other securities; and (xi) any other material specific terms; (E) in the case of Warrants, (i) the designation of the Warrants; (ii) the aggregate number of Warrants offered and the offering price; (iii) the quantity and terms of the Securities or other securities purchasable upon exercise of the Warrants, and procedures that will result in the adjustment of those numbers; (iv) the exercise price of the Warrants; (v) the dates or periods during which the Warrants are exercisable; (vi) any minimum or maximum number of Warrants that may be exercised at any one time; (vii) whether the Warrants will be listed on any securities exchange; (viii) any terms, procedures and limitations relating to the transferability or exercise of the Warrants; (ix) whether the Warrants will be issued in fully registered or “book-entry only” form; (x) any other rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to the Warrants; (xi) any risk factors associated with the Warrants; and (xii) any other material specific terms; and (F) in the case of Units, (i) the designation and terms of the Units and of the Securities comprising the Units, including whether and under what circumstances those Securities may be held or transferred separately; (ii) any provisions for the issuance, payment, settlement, transfer or exchange of the Units or of any Securities comprising the Units; (iii) whether the Units will be issued in fully registered or “book-entry only” form; (iv) any risk factors associated with the Units; (v) whether the Units and the Securities comprising the Units will be listed on any securities exchange; and (vi) any other material specific terms. Since a Prospectus Supplement may include specific variable terms pertaining to the Securities that are not within the alternatives and parameters described in this Prospectus, in all cases an investor should rely on the information in the applicable Prospectus Supplement where it differs from information in this Prospectus.

This Prospectus does not qualify the distribution of asset-backed securities (as such term is defined in National Instrument 41-101 - General Prospectus Requirements) or debt securities in respect of which the payment of principal and/or interest may be determined, in whole or in part, by reference to one or more underlying interests including, for example, an equity or debt security, a statistical measure of economic or financial performance including, but not limited to, any currency, consumer price or mortgage index, or the price or value of one or more commodities, indices or other items, or any other item or formula, or any combination or basket of the foregoing items. For greater certainty, this Prospectus may qualify for issuance debt securities, including debt securities convertible into other Securities, in respect of which the payment of principal and/or interest may be determined, in whole or in part, by reference to published rates of a central banking authority or one or more financial institutions, such as a prime rate or bankers’ acceptance rate, or to recognized market benchmark interest rates.

The outstanding Common Shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) under the stock symbol “DSG” and listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “DSGX”. On July 14, 2026, the last trading day prior to the date of this Prospectus, the closing price of Common Shares on the TSX was C$100.94 per Common Share and on Nasdaq was US$71.83 per Common Share. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the Preferred Shares, Debt Securities, Subscription Receipts, Warrants and Units will not be listed on any securities exchange and there may be no market through which these Securities may be sold and purchasers may not be able to resell any Preferred Shares, Debt Securities, Subscription Receipts, Warrants or Units purchased under this Prospectus. This may affect the pricing of the securities in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices, the liquidity of the securities, and the extent of issuer regulation. See “Risk Factors” as well as the “Risk Factors” section of the applicable Prospectus Supplement.

The Securities may be sold to or through underwriters or dealers purchasing as principals, by the Company to one or more purchasers, directly or through agents designated by the Company, from time to time. The Securities may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions at fixed prices or not at fixed prices, such as market prices prevailing at the time of sale (including, without limitation, sales deemed to be “at-the-market distributions” as defined in NI 44-102, including sales made directly on the TSX, Nasdaq or other existing trading markets for the Securities), prices related to such prevailing market prices or prices to be negotiated with purchasers, which prices may vary as between purchasers and during the period of distribution of the Securities. See “Plan of Distribution”. Each Prospectus Supplement will identify each underwriter, dealer or agent engaged in connection with the offering and sale of the Securities to which the Prospectus Supplement relates, and will also set forth the method of distribution and the terms of the offering of such Securities including the net proceeds to the Company, and, to the extent applicable, any fees, discounts or other compensation payable to the underwriters, dealers or agents. Unless otherwise specified in a Prospectus Supplement, any offering of the Securities is subject to having certain legal matters passed upon by Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP and Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP on behalf of the Company.

In connection with any offering of the Securities (unless otherwise specified in a Prospectus Supplement and other than an offering by way of sales deemed to be an “at-the-market distribution”), the underwriters, dealers or agents may, subject to any applicable securities legislation, over-allocate or effect transactions which stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the offered Securities at a level above that which otherwise might prevail on the open market. Such transactions may be commenced, interrupted or discontinued at any time. No underwriter of an “at-the-market distribution” under this Prospectus, no affiliate of such underwriter and no person or company acting jointly or in concert with such underwriter will over-allot securities in connection with such distribution or effect any other transactions that are intended to stabilize or maintain the market price of the Securities or securities of the same class as the securities distributed under this Prospectus, including selling an aggregate number or principal amount of securities that would result in the underwriter creating an over-allocation position in the Securities. See “Plan of Distribution”.

Information with respect to a purchaser’s right to withdraw from or rescind an agreement to purchase securities is provided below. See “Purchasers’ Statutory and Contractual Rights”.

The Descartes Systems Group Inc.’s head office and registered office is located at 120 Randall Drive, Waterloo, Ontario, N2V 1C6 and our general corporate phone number is (519) 746-8110.

We are permitted, as a Canadian issuer, under the multi-jurisdictional disclosure system adopted by the United States (“U.S.”), to prepare this Prospectus in accordance with Canadian disclosure requirements. You should be aware that such requirements are different from those of the U.S.

Except as noted, all dollar amounts are expressed in U.S. Dollars. All references to “US$” are to U.S. Dollars and all references to “C$” are to Canadian Dollars.

The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”). Accordingly, the presentation of consolidated financial statements may vary in a material way from consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.

You should be aware that the acquisition of the Securities described herein may have tax consequences both in the U.S. and in Canada. Such tax consequences for investors who are residents in, or citizens of, the U.S. may not be described fully herein or in any applicable Prospectus Supplement. You should read the tax discussion in any applicable Prospectus Supplement; however, this Prospectus or any applicable Prospectus Supplement may not fully describe these tax consequences, and you should consult your tax adviser prior to making any investment in the Securities.

Your ability to enforce civil liabilities under U.S. federal securities laws may be affected adversely by the fact that the Company is incorporated under the laws of Canada, that some or all of our officers and directors may be residents of Canada, that some or all of the experts named in this Prospectus may be residents of Canada and that all or a substantial portion of our assets and the assets of such persons are located outside the U.S.

Messrs. Dennis Maple, Chris Muntwyler and John J. Walker, and Ms. Laura Wilkin, four of the Company’s directors, as well as Mr. Edward J. Ryan, the Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Company, reside outside of Canada and each has appointed The Descartes Systems Group Inc., 120 Randall Drive, Waterloo, Ontario, N2V 1C6, as agent for service of process. Purchasers of any Securities are advised that it may not be possible to enforce judgments obtained in Canada against any person that resides outside of Canada, even if such person has appointed an agent for service of process. See “Service of Process and Enforceability of Civil Liabilities”.

No underwriter has been involved in the preparation of this Prospectus or performed any review of the contents of this Prospectus.

CAUTION REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION AND STATEMENTS

Certain statements made in this Prospectus, including the documents incorporated by reference herein, contain forward-looking information within the meaning of applicable securities laws (“forward-looking statements”). These forward-looking statements are presented for the purpose of assisting the Company’s securityholders in understanding management’s views regarding those future outcomes and may not be appropriate for other purposes. When used in this Prospectus, the words “may”, “might”, “would”, “could”, “will”, “intend”, “plan”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “seek”, “propose”, “estimate”, “expect”, “continue”, “should”, or the negative of such terms and similar expressions, as they relate to the Company, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Specific forward-looking statements in this Prospectus, including the documents incorporated by reference herein, include, but are not limited to: statements relating to business trends; the basis for any future growth and for our financial performance, including potential variances from period to period; our assessment of the potential impact of geopolitical events, such as the conflict between Iran, Israel and the U.S. (the “Iran Conflict”) and the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine (the “Russia-Ukraine Conflict”), or other potentially catastrophic events; our assessment of the potential impact of tariffs, sanctions and other actions by individual countries on global trade and our business; results of operations and financial condition; our expectations regarding the cyclical nature of our business; mix of revenues and potential variances from period to period; our plans to focus on generating services revenues to continue to allow customers to elect to license technology in lieu of subscribing to services; our expectations on losses of revenues and customers; our baseline calibrations; our ability to keep our operating expenses at a level below our baseline revenues; our future business plans and business planning process; allocation of purchase price for completed acquisitions; our expectations regarding future restructuring charges and cost-reduction activities; expenses, including amortization of intangible assets and stock-based compensation; goodwill impairment tests and the possibility of future impairment adjustments; capital expenditures; acquisition-related costs, including the potential for further performance-based contingent consideration; our liability with respect to various claims and suits arising in the ordinary course; our intention to actively explore future business combinations and other strategic transactions; our liability under indemnification obligations; our reinvestment of earnings of subsidiaries back into such subsidiaries; our dividend policy; the sufficiency of capital to meet working capital, capital expenditure, and debt repayment requirements and our anticipated growth strategy; our ability to raise capital; our adoption of certain accounting standards; matters concerning potential at-the-market offerings; provisions of any Trust Indenture or Debt Securities; the creation and issuance of Preferred Shares; and other matters related to the foregoing.

The forward-looking statements contained herein are based on certain assumptions including the following: our ability to successfully identify and execute on acquisitions and to integrate acquired businesses and assets, and to predict expenses associated with and revenues from acquisitions; our ability to avoid the impact of network failures, information security breaches or other cyber-security threats; the absence of any significant disruptions in the movement of freight and a decline in shipment volumes including as a result of the impact of current and future trade barriers, including tariffs, further protectionist measures and reactive countermeasures, the Iran Conflict, the Russia-Ukraine Conflict or contagious illness outbreaks; the absence of any significant deterioration of general economic conditions or instability in the financial markets accompanied by a decrease in spending by our customers; global shipment volumes continuing to increase at levels consistent with the average growth rates of the global economy; countries continuing to implement and enforce existing and additional customs and security regulations relating to the provision of electronic information for imports and exports; countries continuing to implement and enforce existing and additional trade restrictions and sanctioned party lists with respect to doing business with certain countries, organizations, entities and individuals; our continued operation of a secure and reliable business network; the continued availability of the data and content that is utilized in the delivery of services made available over our network; the relative stability of currency exchange rates and interest rates; equity and debt markets continuing to provide us with access to capital; our ability to develop solutions that keep pace with the continuing changes in technology, including artificial intelligence (“AI”); and our continued compliance with third party intellectual property rights. While management believes these assumptions to have been reasonable on the date of the forward-looking statements, they may prove to be inaccurate.

Inherent in the forward-looking statements are known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors beyond the Company’s ability to control or predict, that may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company, or developments in the Company’s business or in its industry, to differ materially from the anticipated results, performance, achievements or developments expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Some of the risks and other factors, some of which are beyond the Company’s control, which could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements and information contained in this Prospectus, including the documents incorporated by reference herein, include, but are not limited to: the impact of the Iran

Conflict, the Russia-Ukraine Conflict or contagious illness outbreaks on industry and market conditions; difficulties identifying, successfully integrating or maintaining or growing acquired businesses; failure to identify certain risks in connection with investments in acquisitions and other business initiatives; general global economic conditions which may affect our results of operations and financial condition; our existing customers might cancel contracts with us, fail to renew contracts on their renewal dates, and/or fail to purchase additional services and products and we may be unable to attract new customers; we may be unable to continue to innovate and to create new solutions and enhancements to our existing products; we may not remain competitive, and competition may increase; alternative sources for trade data may emerge or there may be increased adoption of such alternative sources; changes in the value of the U.S. Dollar, as compared to the currencies of other countries where we transact business, could harm our operating results and financial conditions; the growing use of AI may adversely affect our business, reputation, results of operations and financial condition; the continued use and/or development of emerging technologies, such as AI, could increase our exposure to information security breaches or other cyber-security threats by potentially enhancing the capabilities of third parties to breach our network or the networks of our third party providers, and disrupt our services; system or network failures or information security breaches in connection with our services and products, and those of third parties on which we rely, could reduce our sales, impair our reputations, increase costs or result in liability claims, and seriously harm our business; failure to attract and retain key personnel would adversely affect our ability to develop and effectively manage our business; changes in government filing requirements for global trade may adversely impact our business; disruptions in the movement of freight could negatively affect our revenues; our Common Share price has in the past been volatile and may also be volatile in the future; the fact that the market for Securities may be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to numerous factors; we may need additional capital in the future and may be unable to obtain it or to obtain it on favorable terms; as we increase our international operations, we increase our exposure to international business risks; and there is currently no trading market for any Preferred Shares, Debt Securities, Subscription Receipts, Warrants or Units that may be offered pursuant to this Prospectus.

This is not an exhaustive list of the factors that may affect any of the Company’s forward-looking statements. Some of these and other factors are discussed in more detail in the section entitled “Certain Factors That May Affect Future Results” in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” contained in our Annual Report to the Shareholders for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026 and management’s discussion and analysis of the Company for the three months ended April 30, 2026. Investors and others should carefully consider these and other factors and not place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements. Further information regarding these and other risk factors is included in the Company’s public filings with provincial securities regulatory authorities which can be found under the Company’s profile on the System for Electronic Data Analysis and Retrieval + (“SEDAR+”) website at www.sedarplus.com and with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) which can be found on the Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval (“EDGAR”) website at www.sec.gov/edgar.shtml.

The forward-looking statements contained in this Prospectus represent the Company’s views only as of the date such statements were made. Forward-looking statements contained in this Prospectus are based on management’s plans, estimates, projections, beliefs and opinions as at the time such statements were made and the assumptions related to these plans, estimates, projections, beliefs and opinions may change. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements were reasonable at the time such statements were made, there can be no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. The Company cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements and actual results or developments may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. While the Company anticipates that subsequent events and developments may cause the Company’s views to change, the Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking statements, except to the extent required by applicable securities laws.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

Consistent with past practice and in the normal course, the Company may have outstanding non-binding letters of intent and/or conditional agreements or may otherwise be engaged in discussions with respect to possible acquisitions and/or investments which may or may not be material. However, there can be no assurance that any of these letters, agreements and/or discussions will result in an acquisition or investment and, if they do, what the final terms or timing of any acquisition or investment would be. The Company expects to continue to actively pursue acquisition and investment opportunities during the period that this Prospectus remains valid.

DESCRIPTION OF SHARE CAPITAL

The Company’s authorized share capital consists of an unlimited number of Common Shares. As of July 14, 2026, the last trading day prior to the date of this Prospectus, there were 85,633,649 Common Shares issued and outstanding. The Common Shares are listed on the TSX under the symbol “DSG” and listed on Nasdaq under the symbol “DSGX”.

As of the date of this Prospectus, the Company is not authorized to issue Preferred Shares in the capital of the Company and, as such, there are no Preferred Shares of the Company issued and outstanding.

The Securities may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions at fixed prices or not at fixed prices, such as market prices prevailing at the time of sale (including, without limitation, sales deemed to be “at-the-market distributions” as defined in NI 44-102, including sales made directly on the TSX, Nasdaq or other existing trading markets for the Securities), prices related to such prevailing market prices or prices to be negotiated with purchasers, which prices may vary as between purchasers and during the period of distribution of the Securities. The Prospectus Supplement for any of the Securities being offered thereby will set forth the method of distribution and the terms of the offering of such Securities, including the type of Security being offered, the name or names of any underwriters, dealers or agents, the purchase price of such Securities, the proceeds to, and the portion of expenses borne by the Company from such sale, any underwriting discounts and other items constituting underwriters’ compensation, any public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid to dealers. Only underwriters so named in the Prospectus Supplement are deemed to be underwriters in connection with the Securities offered thereby.

If underwriters are used in the sale, the Securities will be acquired by the underwriters for their own account and may be resold from time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions, at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale or at prices related to such prevailing market prices. The obligations of the underwriters to purchase such Securities will be subject to certain conditions precedent, and the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all the Securities offered by the Prospectus Supplement if any of such Securities are purchased. Any public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid to underwriters, dealers or agents may be changed from time to time.

The Securities may also be sold (i) directly by the Company at such prices and upon such terms as agreed to by the Company, as applicable, and the purchaser or (ii) through agents designated by the Company, from time to time. Any agent involved in the offering and sale of the Securities will be named, and any commissions payable by the Company to such agent will be set forth, in the Prospectus Supplement.

Underwriters, dealers and agents who participate in the distribution of the Securities may be entitled under agreements to be entered into with the Company to indemnification by the Company, against certain liabilities, including liabilities under securities legislation, or to contribution with respect to payments which such underwriters, dealers or agents may be required to make in respect thereof.

No underwriter of an “at-the-market distribution” under this Prospectus, no affiliate of such underwriter and no person or company acting jointly or in concert with such underwriter will over-allot securities in connection with such distribution or effect any other transactions that are intended to stabilize or maintain the market price of the Securities or securities of the same class as the securities distributed under this Prospectus, including selling an aggregate number or principal amount of securities that would result in the underwriter creating an over-allocation position in the Securities.

RISK FACTORS

Prospective investors in a particular offering of the Securities should carefully consider, in addition to information contained in the Prospectus Supplement relating to that offering and the information incorporated by reference herein for the purposes of that offering, the risk factor listed below and risks described in the documents incorporated by reference in this Prospectus as supplemented by the Prospectus Supplement relating to that offering, including the Company’s then-current annual information form, as well as the Company’s then-current annual management’s discussion and analysis and interim management’s discussion and analysis, if applicable, to the extent incorporated by reference herein for the purposes of that particular offering of Securities.

No Market for the Securities, other than the Common Shares

There is currently no trading market for any Preferred Shares, Debt Securities, Subscription Receipts, Warrants or Units that may be offered. No assurance can be given that an active or liquid trading market for these securities will develop or be sustained. If an active or liquid market for these securities fails to develop or be sustained, the prices at which these securities trade may be adversely affected. Whether or not these securities will trade at lower prices depends on many factors, including liquidity of these securities, prevailing interest rates and the markets for similar securities, the market price of the Company’s other securities, general economic conditions and the Company’s financial condition, historic financial performance and future prospects.

CERTAIN INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

To the extent required, the applicable Prospectus Supplement will describe certain material Canadian federal income tax consequences to an investor who is a resident of Canada or who is a non-resident of Canada of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of any Securities offered thereunder.

To the extent required, the applicable Prospectus Supplement will also describe certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of any Securities offered thereunder by an initial investor who is a U.S. person (within the meaning of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended).

LEGAL MATTERS

Unless otherwise specified in a Prospectus Supplement, certain legal matters in connection with offered Securities will be passed upon by Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP with respect to matters of Canadian law and Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP with respect to matters of U.S. law, in each case on behalf of the Company.

AUDITORS, TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR

The Company’s external auditors are KPMG LLP, Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, located at Vaughan Metropolitan Centre, 100 New Park Place, Suite 1400, Vaughan, ON, L4K 0J3.

The transfer agent and registrar for the Common Shares is Computershare Investor Services Inc. located at its principal offices in Toronto, Ontario.

INTEREST OF EXPERTS

KPMG LLP, as auditors of the Company, have confirmed that they are independent with respect to the Company within the meaning of the relevant rules and related interpretations prescribed by the relevant professional bodies in Canada and any applicable legislation or regulations and also that they are independent accountants with respect to the Company under all relevant U.S. professional and regulatory standards.

WELL-KNOWN SEASONED ISSUERS

This Prospectus constitutes a “WKSI base shelf prospectus” (as defined in NI 44-102) and has been filed under Part 9B of NI 44-102. Pursuant to Part 9B of NI 44-102, certain “eligible issuers” that are “well-known seasoned issuers” and certain other “eligible issuers” are permitted to file a WKSI base shelf prospectus and, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, a receipt will be deemed to be issued by the applicable securities regulatory authorities for such WKSI base shelf prospectus immediately upon filing, without review by such applicable securities regulatory authorities or the requirement to file and obtain a receipt for a preliminary short form base shelf prospectus. WKSI base shelf prospectuses are also exempt from certain disclosure requirements under NI 44-102 that would otherwise apply to a final short form base shelf prospectus. The Company has determined that it qualifies as a “well-known seasoned issuer” pursuant to NI 44-102 because, as of July 14, 2026, the last trading day prior to the date of this Prospectus, it had “qualifying public equity” as defined in NI 44-102 of approximately C$8,499,953,103.79.

EXEMPTIONS

Pursuant to a decision of the Autorité des marchés financiers dated July 14, 2026, the Company was granted a permanent exemption from the requirement to translate into French this Prospectus as well as the documents incorporated by reference herein and any Prospectus Supplement to be filed in relation to an “at-the-market distribution”. This exemption is granted on the condition that this Prospectus as well as the documents incorporated by reference herein and any Prospectus Supplement (other than in relation to an “at-the-market distribution”) as well as the documents incorporated by reference therein be translated into French if the Company offers Securities to Québec purchasers in connection with an offering other than in relation to an “at-the-market distribution”.

PURCHASERS’ STATUTORY AND CONTRACTUAL RIGHTS

Securities legislation in certain of the provinces of Canada provides purchasers with the right to withdraw from an agreement to purchase securities. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Prospectus Supplement in connection with the offering, this right may be exercised within two business days after the later of (i) the date that the Company (A) filed the prospectus or any amendment on SEDAR+ and a receipt is issued and posted for the document, and (B) issued and filed a news release on SEDAR+ announcing that the document is accessible through SEDAR+, and (ii) the date that the purchaser or subscriber has entered into an agreement to purchase the securities or a contract to purchase or a subscription for the securities. In several of the provinces, the securities legislation further provides a purchaser with remedies for rescission or, in some jurisdictions, revision of the price or damages if the prospectus and any amendment contains a misrepresentation or is not delivered to the purchaser, provided that the remedies for rescission, revision of the price or damages are exercised by the purchaser within the time limit prescribed by the securities legislation of the purchaser’s province. The purchaser should refer to any applicable provisions of the securities legislation of the purchaser’s province for the particulars of these rights or consult with a legal adviser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in certain cases, the Company may be exempt from the prospectus delivery requirements.

In addition, original purchasers of convertible or exchangeable Preferred Shares, Subscription Receipts, Warrants (unless the Warrants are reasonably regarded by the Company as incidental to the applicable offering as a whole) or convertible or exchangeable Debt Securities (or Units comprised partly thereof) will have a contractual right of rescission against the Company in respect of the conversion, exchange or exercise of the convertible or exchangeable Preferred Share, Subscription Receipt, Warrant or the convertible or exchangeable Debt Security. The contractual right of rescission will be further described in any applicable Prospectus Supplement, but will, in general, entitle such original purchasers to receive the amount paid for, including the amount paid, if any, upon conversion, exchange or exercise of, the applicable convertible, exchangeable or exercisable security upon surrender of the underlying securities acquired thereby, in the event that this Prospectus (as supplemented or amended) contains a misrepresentation, provided that: (i) the conversion, exchange or exercise takes place within 180 days of the date of the purchase of the convertible, exchangeable or exercisable security under this Prospectus; and (ii) the right of

rescission is exercised within 180 days of the date of the purchase of the convertible, exchangeable or exercisable security under this Prospectus.

However, purchasers of Securities distributed under an “at-the-market distribution” by the Company do not have the right to withdraw from an agreement to purchase the Securities and do not have remedies of rescission or, in some jurisdictions, revisions of the price, or damages for non-delivery of the Prospectus and any amendment relating to the Securities purchased by such purchaser because the Prospectus and any amendment relating to the Securities purchased by such purchaser will not be sent or delivered to such purchaser, as permitted under Part 9 of NI 44-102. In addition, any remedies under securities legislation that a purchaser of Securities distributed under an “at-the-market distribution” by the Company may have against the Company or its underwriters for rescission or, in some jurisdictions, revisions of the price, or damages if the Prospectus and any amendment relating to Securities purchased by a purchaser contain a misrepresentation will remain unaffected by the non-delivery of the Prospectus referred to above.

In an offering of convertible or exchangeable Preferred Shares, Subscription Receipts, Warrants or convertible or exchangeable Debt Securities (or Units comprised partly thereof), investors are cautioned that the statutory right of action for damages for a misrepresentation contained in the prospectus is limited, in certain provincial securities legislation, to the price at which convertible or exchangeable Preferred Shares, Subscription Receipts, Warrants or convertible or exchangeable Debt Securities (or Units comprised partly thereof) are offered to the public under the prospectus offering. This means that, under the securities legislation of certain provinces, if the purchaser pays additional amounts upon the conversion, exchange or exercise of the security, those amounts may not be recoverable under the statutory right of action for damages that applies in those provinces. The purchaser should refer to any applicable provisions of the securities legislation of the purchaser’s province for the particulars of this right of action for damages or consult with a legal adviser.

SERVICE OF PROCESS AND ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES

We are a Canadian company. Some of our directors and executive officers live outside the U.S. Some of the assets of our directors and executive officers and some of our assets are located outside the U.S. As a result, it may be difficult or impossible to serve process on us or on such persons in the U.S. or to obtain or enforce judgments obtained in U.S. courts or Canadian courts against them or us based on the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the U.S. There is doubt as to whether Canadian courts would enforce the civil liability claims brought under U.S. federal securities laws in original actions and/or enforce claims for punitive damages.

WHERE TO FIND MORE INFORMATION

Under the Canada Business Corporations Act (the “CBCA”), the Registrant may indemnify its current or former directors or officers or another individual who acts or acted at the Registrant’s request as a director or officer, or an individual acting in a similar capacity, of another entity, against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by the individual in respect of any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other proceeding in which the individual is involved because of his or her association with the Registrant or another entity, and the individual seeking indemnity shall have a right to such indemnity if such individual was not judged by the court or other competent authority to have committed any fault or omitted to do anything that such individual ought to have done.

The CBCA also provides that the Registrant may advance monies to such an individual for the costs, charges and expenses of such a proceeding, provided that, such individual must repay the monies advanced if the individual does not fulfill the conditions in the following paragraph. The CBCA also provides that the Registrant may, with the approval of a court, indemnify such an individual or advance monies against all costs, charges and expenses reasonably incurred by the individual in connection with an action by or on behalf of the Registrant or other entity to procure a judgment in its favor, to which the individual is made a party because of the individual’s association with the Registrant or other entity at the Registrant’s request.

However, indemnification under any of the foregoing circumstances is prohibited under the CBCA unless the individual:

acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the Registrant’s best interests, or, as the case may be, to the best interests of the other entity for which the individual acted as director or officer or in a similar capacity at the Registrant’s request; and

in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, the individual had reasonable grounds for believing that his or her conduct was lawful.

The Registrant’s by-laws provide that the Registrant will indemnify a director or officer, a former director or officer or another individual who acts or acted at the Registrant’s request as a director or officer (or an individual acting in a similar capacity) of another entity, and their heirs and legal representatives, against all costs, charges and expenses, including, without limitation, an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by the individual in respect of any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other proceeding in which the individual is involved because of that association with the Registrant or other entity, to the extent permitted under the CBCA.

The Registrant’s by-laws provide that the Registrant may advance monies to a director, officer or other individual for the costs, charges and expenses of a proceeding referred to above, to the extent permitted under the CBCA. That person must repay the monies if the person does not fulfill the conditions in the following paragraph.

The Registrant’s by-laws provide that the Registrant will not indemnify a person referred to above unless the person: (a) acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Registrant or, as the case may be, to the best interests of the other entity for which the person acted as a director or officer or in a similar capacity at the Registrant’s request; and (b) in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, the person had reasonable grounds for believing that the person’s conduct was lawful.

The Registrant’s by-laws provide that the Registrant also has the right to indemnify a person referred to above in such other circumstances as the CBCA or law permits or requires. The Registrant’s by-laws do not limit the right of any person entitled to indemnity to claim indemnity apart from the provisions of the Registrant’s by-laws.

Subject to the CBCA, the Registrant may purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of any individual referred to above as the board of directors of the Registrant may from time to time determine.

The Registrant has purchased and maintains such an insurance policy. The Registrant has entered into standard indemnification agreements with its directors and executive officers.

Under agreements which may be entered into by the Registrant, underwriters, dealers and agents who participate in the distribution of the securities may be entitled to indemnification by Registrant against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising out of any misrepresentation in this Registration Statement and the documents incorporated by reference herein, other than liabilities arising out of any misrepresentation made by underwriters, dealers or agents who participate in the offering of the securities.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is therefore unenforceable.
