i | H&R REIT Management Information Circular | May 6, 2024

In accordance with the REIT's sustainability policy, in connection with the Meeting, the REIT will be using the Canadian Securities Administrators' "notice-and-access" delivery model which allows the REIT to furnish the Circular, the accompanying proxy-related materials, the Financial Statements and associated management's discussion and analysis (collectively, the "Meeting Materials") to Unitholders over the Internet resulting in lower costs and a reduction in the environmental impact of the Meeting. Under notice-and-access, Unitholders will continue to receive a proxy or voting instruction form enabling them to vote at the Meeting, however instead of a paper copy of the Meeting Materials, including the Circular, Unitholders will receive a notice with information on how they may access the Meeting Materials, including the Circular, electronically. On or about May 21, 2024, the REIT intends to mail Unitholders of record as of May 6, 2024 a notice with information about the notice-and-access process and voting instructions, as well as a proxy or voting instruction form containing instructions on how to access the Meeting Materials. UNITHOLDERS ARE REMINDED TO REVIEW THE CIRCULAR PRIOR TO VOTING. Unitholders with questions about notice-and-access can call TSX Trust Company toll free at 1-888-433-6443 or 416-682-3801 (outside of North America). The Meeting Materials can be viewed online at the following internet address: www.meetingdocuments.com/TSXT/HR. Please note that if you request a paper copy of the Circular, you will not receive a new form of proxy or voting instruction form, so you should retain these forms sent to you in order to access the webcast Meeting, vote and ask questions accordingly through the 16-digit control number assigned therein. Please note that only registered Unitholders and duly appointed proxyholders have the ability to vote at the Meeting.

Unitholders (as defined in the Circular) who are unable to attend the Meeting are encouraged to vote online at www.proxyvote.comor by telephone at 1-800-474-7493 (English) or 1-800-474-7501 (French), by entering their 16-digit control number printed on the front of their form of proxy or voting instruction form and following the instructions provided. You may also complete, sign, date and return the form of proxy or voting instruction form to Broadridge at Broadridge Investor Communications Corporation, Attention: Data Processing Centre, P.O. Box 3700, STN Industrial Park, Markham, ON L3R 9Z9. In order to be effective, proxies and voting instruction forms must be received no later than 10:30 a.m. (Toronto time) on June 18, 2024 or, if the Meeting is adjourned, the last business day preceding the day of any adjournment thereof.
