At the recommendation of OER’s Audit and Enterprise Risk Committee, the board of directors of OER approved and regularly reviews its Whistleblower Policy to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations in all jurisdiction of its operation and to provide a procedure for reporting. Importantly, it encourages directors, officers, employees and contractors of the Company to report evidence of any misconduct without fear of discrimination, harassment or retaliation.

The OER Board has approved the following procedures to show its commitment to maintaining a workplace in which the Company can receive, retain, and address all complaints received by the Company regarding violations or perceived violations of its Corporate Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, and all applicable laws and regulations.

In accordance with OER’s Whistleblower Policy, any OER employee, officer, contractor and director may report actual or suspected irregularities or improprieties with respect to OER’s financial statements, accounting, internal accounting controls, auditing matters, or any other violation of Canadian securities or other applicable laws, rules or regulations; and the OER Corporate Code of Business Conduct and Ethics through a Secure Reporting Process as follows:
