INDEPENDENT PROXY ADVISOR GLASS LEWIS RECOMMENDS VOTING FOR TRANSAT'S 8 NOMINEES AND AGAINST DISSIDENT SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS

Independent proxy advisory firm Glass Lewis has recommended that shareholders vote the blue proxy for all of Transat AT Inc.'s eight director nominees at the coming annual general and special meeting of shareholders scheduled to be held on March 10, 2026, at 9 a.m. Montreal time. Glass Lewis has also recommended that shareholders vote in line with the board's recommendations on all other items of business being put forward, including for Transat's amendment to its articles of incorporation to provide for a minimum of eight and maximum of 15 directors and against or withhold from all dissident shareholder proposals being put forward by Financiere Outremont Inc.

Glass Lewis's recommendation follows a detailed review of Transat's financial performance, capital structure, governance profile and the competing proposals before shareholders, and concluded based on Transat's operational complexity and continuing positive recovery, "On balance, we conclude that shareholders would be better served by supporting the management nominees and voting against the dissident's shareholder proposals at this time."

Glass Lewis also stated, "While the dissident nominees bring experience in corporate leadership, capital markets and consumer analytics, none appears to fill a demonstrable aviation-specific skill gap not already represented on the current slate."

In conclusion, Glass Lewis recommended shareholders vote against proposal 6 to fix the board size at six and withhold from proposals 7 to 9, which seek to elect the dissident nominees.

Susan Kudzman, chair of the board, said: "We are pleased that Glass Lewis has independently validated the strength of our recovery trajectory, the material improvement in our capital structure and the depth of expertise represented on our new board. Transat's disciplined execution and continuity of leadership are the best path forward for shareholders at this important stage of our recovery."

The board unanimously recommends that shareholders vote the blue proxy or voting instruction form for all of Transat's eight nominees and does not support Financiere Outremont's dissident shareholder proposals.

Vote your blue proxy by Friday, March 6, 2026, at 9 a.m. Montreal time.

The company encourages you to vote on-line or by telephone today. Do not risk your vote being received too late to be counted.
