Amended and Restated Advance Notice Policy

Adopted by the Board of Directors with immediate effect on December 10, 2025)

Zefiro Methane Corp.
(the "Company")


INTRODUCTION

The Company is committed to advancing the following objectives: (i) facilitating an orderly and efficient process for holding annual general meetings and, when the need arises, special meetings of its shareholders; (ii) ensuring that management and all shareholders receive adequate advance notice of the director nominations and sufficient information with respect to all director nominees; and (iii) allowing shareholders to register an informed vote for directors of the Company after having been afforded reasonable time for appropriate deliberation.

The purpose of this Advance Notice Policy (the "Policy") is to provide shareholders, directors and management of the Company with a clear framework for nominating directors of the Company to facilitate the above-noted objectives. Among other things, this Policy fixes a deadline by which shareholders seeking to nominate a person for election as a director must submit such nominations to the Company prior to any annual general meeting or special meeting of shareholders, and sets forth the information that a shareholder must include in the notice to the Company for the notice to be in proper written form in order for any director nominee to be eligible for election at any annual general meeting or special meeting of shareholders.

It is the position of the board of directors of the Company (the "Board") that this Policy is in the best interests of the Company, its shareholders and other stakeholders. This Policy will be subject to annual review by the Board, which shall revise the Policy, if required, to reflect changes by securities regulatory authorities or applicable stock exchanges, or to address changes in industry standards and other relevant circumstances from time to time as determined by the Board.

NOMINATIONS OF DIRECTORS

  1. Nominations of persons for election to the Board may be made at any annual meeting of shareholders of the Company, or at any special meeting of shareholders of the Company if one of the purposes for which the special meeting is called is the election of directors. Only persons who are qualified to act as directors under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the "Act"), are qualified under the articles of the Company, who have not acted in breach of fiduciary duty against the Company as reasonably determined by the Board acting reasonably, in good faith, and based on credible evidence, and who are nominated in accordance with the following procedures shall be eligible for election as directors of the Company:
    1. by or at the direction of the Board, including pursuant to a notice of meeting;

    3. pursuant to a requisition of the shareholders that complies with and is made in accordance with section 167 of the Act, as such provisions may be amended from time to time, and that complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Policy; or

    2. in the case of a special meeting (that is not also an annual meeting) of shareholders called for the purpose of electing directors (whether or not called for other purposes), not later than the close of business on the 15th day following the day on which the first public announcement of the date of the special meeting of shareholders was given.

In the event of an adjournment or postponement of a meeting of shareholders or the announcement thereof, any reference to the date of an annual general meeting of shareholders or a special meeting in this paragraph 3 shall be deemed to refer to the date of the adjourned or postponed meeting.
