Vigil Health Solutions Inc. (“Vigil” or the “Company”) (TSXV: VGL) would like to remind shareholders of the upcoming special meeting of the holders (the “Shareholders”) of common shares in the capital of Vigil (“Common Shares”) and holders (the “Optionholders” and together with the Shareholders, the “Securityholders”) of options (the “Options” and together with the Common Shares, the “Securities”) to purchase Common Shares to consider and approve the previously announced statutory plan of arrangement (the “Arrangement”) involving the Company and ABLOY Canada Inc. (the “Purchaser”), a subsidiary within the ASSA ABLOY Group, all as more particularly described in the Company's management information circular dated as of February 4, 2022 (the “Circular”). The meeting is to be held at 11:00 A.M. (Vancouver time) on March 16, 2022, at The Vancouver Island Technology Park, 2201-4464 Markham Street, Victoria, British Columbia. A copy of the Circular is available under Vigil’s profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

At the meeting, Securityholders will be asked to consider and vote on a special resolution to approve the Arrangement (the “Arrangement Resolution”). The Arrangement Resolution must be approved, with or without variation, by the affirmative vote of: (i) at least 66⅔% of the votes cast by Shareholders, present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting; (ii) at least 66⅔% of the votes cast by Shareholders and Optionholders, present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting, voting together as a single class, and (iii) a simple majority of the votes cast by Shareholders, present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting, excluding for this purpose votes attached to Common Shares required to be excluded pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Securityholders in Special Transactions (the “Disinterested Shareholder Resolution”). The votes of Troy Griffiths (921,207 Common Shares), Steven Smith (1,304,266 Common Shares), Jacquie Langley (275,973 Common Shares) and Nicola Chalmers (177,117 Common Shares) will be excluded from the Disinterested Shareholder Resolution as such persons may be considered to receive a “collateral benefit” (as defined in Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Securityholders in Special Transactions) in connection with the Arrangement.

If approved by Securityholders, and subject to the final court approval and satisfaction or waiver of conditions to closing, including receipt of the final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”), the Purchaser will acquire all of the Common Shares of Vigil at a price of $0.67 per share in cash. The total equity value of the transaction is approximately $12.55 million. The transaction is expected to close on or around April 1, 2022. The Common Shares will thereafter be delisted from the TSXV.

Securityholders are encouraged to carefully review the Circular, as it contains important information regarding the Arrangement and its consequences to Securityholders, and to vote in advance of the Meeting. Registered Shareholders and Optionholders should send their completed proxies to Computershare Investor Services Inc., Attention: Proxy Department, 100 University Avenue, 9th Floor, Toronto, Ontario, M5J 2Y1 so that they arrive before 11:00 A.M. (Vancouver time) on March 14, 2022.
