MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR

SOLICITATION OF PROXIES BY MANAGEMENT

This Management Information Circular (the “Circular”) is furnished in connection with the solicitation by the management of DAVIDsTEA Inc. (the “Corporation”) of proxies to be used at the annual meeting of shareholders (the “Meeting”) of the Corporation to be held at the time and place and for the purposes set out in the Notice of Meeting. It is expected that the solicitation will be made primarily by mail. However, officers and employees of the Corporation may also solicit proxies by telephone, telecopier, e-mail or in person. The total cost of solicitation of proxies will be borne by the Corporation. Information contained herein is given as of the date hereof unless otherwise specifically stated.

NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS IN THE UNITED STATES

The Corporation was incorporated under the laws of Canada. The solicitation of proxies and the proposals contemplated herein involve securities of a Canadian issuer and are being effected in accordance with Canadian federal corporate law and securities laws of the Province of Québec. Shareholders should be aware that requirements under such Canadian federal and Québec provincial laws differ from requirements under United States corporate and securities laws relating to United States corporations. The proxy rules under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, are not applicable to the Corporation or this solicitation and therefore this solicitation is not being effected in accordance with such laws.

CURRENCY

All dollar amounts set out herein are expressed in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise indicated; the symbol “$” refers to the Canadian dollar while the symbol “USD” refers to the U.S. dollar.

INTERNET AVAILABILITY OF PROXY-RELATED MATERIALS

Notice-and-Access

The Corporation has elected to use “notice-and-access” rules (“Notice-and-Access”) under Canadian National Instrument 54-101 Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer (“NI 54-101”) for distribution of Proxy-Related Materials (as defined below) to shareholders who do not hold shares of the Corporation in their own names (referred to herein as “Beneficial Shareholders”). Notice-and-Access is a set of rules that allows issuers to post electronic versions of proxy-related materials on SEDAR and on one additional website, rather than mailing paper copies. “Proxy- Related Materials” refers to this Circular, the Notice of Meeting and a voting instruction form (“VIF”) or a form of proxy, as applicable.

The use of Notice-and-Access is more environmentally friendly as it helps reduce paper use. It also reduces the Corporation’s printing and mailing costs. Beneficial Shareholders may obtain further information about Notice-and-Access by contacting TSX Trust Company toll free at 800-387-0825 (within North America) or 416-682-3860 (outside North America).

Websites Where Proxy-Related Materials are Posted

The Proxy-Related Materials are available on the Corporation’s Investor Relations website at http://ir.davidstea.com and under the Corporation’s profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov.

Notice Package

Although the Proxy-Related Materials have been posted on-line as noted above, Beneficial Shareholders will receive paper copies of a notice package (“Notice Package”) via prepaid mail, including the Notice of Meeting, containing information prescribed by NI 54-101 such as the date, time and location of the Meeting and the website addresses where the Proxy- Related Materials are posted, a VIF and a supplemental mail list return card for Beneficial Shareholders to request they be included in the Corporation’s supplementary mailing list for receipt of the Corporation’s interim financial statements for the 2022 fiscal year.

The Corporation is not using notice-and-access for shareholders who hold their shares directly in their respective names (referred to herein as “Registered Shareholders”). Registered Shareholders will receive paper copies of the Circular and related materials via prepaid mail.

How to Obtain Paper Copies of Proxy-Related Materials

Beneficial Shareholders may obtain paper copies of this Circular free of charge by contacting Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. toll free at 1-877-907-7643. Any request for paper copies which are required in advance of the Meeting should be sent so that the request is received by the Corporation by 5:00 p.m. (eastern time) on May 31, 2022 in order to allow sufficient time for shareholders to receive their paper copies and to return their VIF or form of proxy, as applicable, by its due date. After the Meeting date, shareholders may obtain paper copies of the Circular free of charge by contacting the Secretary of the Corporation at (514) 739-0006.

APPOINTMENT AND REVOCATION OF PROXIES

Appointment of Proxy

A shareholder who is unable to attend the Meeting in person is requested to complete and sign the enclosed form of proxy and to deliver it to TSX Trust Company by mail or hand delivery to 1 Toronto Street, Suite 1200, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5C 2V6. A shareholder may also vote using the Internet at www.tsxtrust.com/vote-proxy or by telephone at 1-888-489- 7352. In order to be valid and acted upon at the Meeting, the form of proxy must be received no later than 5:00 p.m. (eastern time) on June 13, 2022 or be deposited with the Secretary of the Corporation before the commencement of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof.

The document appointing a proxy must be in writing and executed by the shareholder or his attorney authorized in writing or, if the shareholder is a corporation, under its corporate seal or by an officer or attorney thereof duly authorized.

A shareholder submitting a form of proxy has the right to appoint a person (who need not be a shareholder) to represent him or her at the Meeting other than the persons designated in the form of proxy furnished by the Corporation. To exercise that right, the name of the shareholder’s appointee should be legibly printed in the blank space provided. In addition, the shareholder should notify the appointee of the appointment, obtain his or her consent to act as appointee and instruct the appointee on how the shareholder’s shares are to be voted.

Shareholders who are not registered shareholders should refer to “Notice to Beneficial Holders of Shares” below.

Revocation of Proxy

A shareholder who has submitted a form of proxy as directed hereunder may revoke it at any time prior to the exercise thereof. If a person who has given a proxy personally attends the Meeting at which that proxy is to be voted, that person may revoke the proxy and vote in person. In addition to the revocation in any other manner permitted by law, a proxy may be revoked by instrument in writing executed by the shareholder or his attorney or authorized agent and deposited with TSX Trust Company at any time up to 5:00 p.m. (eastern time) on June 13, 2022 by mail or by hand delivery to TSX Trust Company, 1 Toronto Street, Suite 1200, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5C 2V6, or deposited with the Secretary of the Corporation before the commencement of the Meeting, or any adjournment thereof, and upon either of those deposits, the proxy will be revoked.

Notice to Beneficial Shareholders

The information set out in this section is of importance to Beneficial Shareholders, that is, the substantial number of shareholders who do not hold shares of the Corporation in their own names shareholders. Beneficial Shareholders should note that only proxies deposited by shareholders whose names appear on the records of the Corporation as the registered holders of shares can be recognized and acted upon at the Meeting or any adjournment(s) thereof. If shares are listed in an account statement provided to a shareholder by a broker, then in almost all cases those shares will not be registered in the shareholder’s name on the records of the Corporation. Those shares will more likely be registered under the name of the shareholder’s broker or an agent of that broker. In Canada, the vast majority of such shares are registered under the name of CDS & Co., the registration name for CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc., which acts as nominee for many Canadian brokerage firms. Shares held by brokers or their nominees can be voted (for or against resolutions or withheld from voting) only upon the instructions of the Beneficial Shareholder. Without specific instructions, the broker/nominees are prohibited from voting shares for their clients. Subject to the following discussion in relation to NOBOs (as defined below), the Corporation does not know for whose benefit the shares registered in the name of CDS & Co., a broker or another nominee, are held.

3

There are two categories of Beneficial Shareholders under applicable securities regulations for purposes of dissemination to Beneficial Shareholders of proxy-related materials and other securityholder materials and requests for voting instructions from such Beneficial Shareholders. Non-objecting beneficial owners (“NOBOs”) are Beneficial Shareholders who have advised their intermediary (such as brokers or other nominees) that they do not object to their intermediary disclosing ownership information to the Corporation, consisting of their name, address, e-mail address, securities holdings and preferred language of communication. Securities legislation restricts the use of that information to matters strictly relating to the affairs of the Corporation. Objecting beneficial owners (“OBOs”) are Beneficial Shareholders who have advised their intermediary that they object to their intermediary disclosing such ownership information to the Corporation.

NI 54-101 allows the Corporation, in its discretion, to obtain a list of its NOBOs from intermediaries and to use such NOBO list for the purpose of distributing the Notice Package directly to, and seeking voting instructions directly from, such NOBOs. As a result, the Corporation is entitled to deliver the Notice Package to Beneficial Shareholders in two manners: (a) directly to NOBOs and indirectly through intermediaries to OBOs; or (b) indirectly to all Beneficial Shareholders through intermediaries. In accordance with the requirements of NI 54-101, the Corporation is sending the Notice Package indirectly to all Beneficial Shareholders through intermediaries. The cost of the delivery of the Notice Package by intermediaries to Beneficial Shareholders will be borne by the Corporation.

Applicable securities regulations require intermediaries, on receipt of the Notice Package that seeks voting instructions from Beneficial Shareholders indirectly, to seek voting instructions from Beneficial Shareholders in advance of shareholders’ meetings on Form 54-101F7. Every intermediary/broker has its own mailing procedures and provides its own return instructions, which should be carefully followed by Beneficial Shareholders in order to ensure that their shares are voted at the Meeting or any adjournment(s) thereof. Often, the form of proxy supplied to a Beneficial Shareholder by its broker is identical to the form of proxy provided to registered shareholders; however, its purpose is limited to instructing the registered shareholder how to vote on behalf of the Beneficial Shareholder. Beneficial Shareholders who wish to appear in person and vote at the Meeting should be appointed as their own representatives at the Meeting in accordance with the directions of their intermediaries and Form 54-101F7. Beneficial Shareholders can also write the name of someone else whom they wish to appoint to attend the Meeting and vote on their behalf. Unless prohibited by law, the person whose name is written in the space provided in Form 54-101F7 will have full authority to present matters to the Meeting and vote on all matters that are presented at the Meeting, even if those matters are not set out in Form 54-101F7 or this Circular. The majority of brokers now delegate responsibility for obtaining instructions from clients to Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”). Broadridge typically mails a voting instruction form in lieu of a form of proxy. Beneficial Shareholders are requested to complete and return the voting instruction form to Broadridge by mail or facsimile. Alternatively, Beneficial Shareholders can call a toll-free telephone number to vote the shares held by them or access Broadridge’s dedicated voting website at https://central-online.proxyvote.com to deliver their voting instructions. Broadridge will then provide aggregate voting instructions to TSX Trust Company, the Corporation’s transfer agent and registrar, which will tabulate the results and provide appropriate instructions respecting the voting of shares to be represented at the Meeting or any adjournment(s) thereof.

EXERCISE OF DISCRETION BY PROXIES

Shares represented by properly-executed proxies or voting instruction forms in favour of the persons designated in the enclosed form of proxy or voting information forms, in the absence of any direction to the contrary, will be voted for the: (i) election of directors; and (ii) appointment of the auditor, as stated under such headings in this Circular. The shares represented by the proxy or voting instruction form will be voted or withheld from voting in accordance with the instructions of the shareholder on any ballot that may be called for, and if a shareholder specifies a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, the shares will be voted accordingly. With respect to amendments or variations to matters identified in the Notice of Meeting and with respect to other matters which may properly come before the Meeting, such shares will be voted by the persons so designated in their discretion. At the time of printing this Circular, management of the Corporation knows of no such amendments, variations or other matters.

VOTING SHARES

As at May 6, 2022, there were 26,427,292 issued and outstanding common shares of the Corporation. Each common share entitles the holder thereof to one vote. The Corporation has fixed May 6, 2022 as the record date (the “Record Date”) for the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to receive notice of the Meeting. Pursuant to the Canada Business Corporations Act, the Corporation is required to prepare, no later than ten days after the Record Date, an alphabetical list of shareholders entitled to vote as of the Record Date that shows the number of shares held by each shareholder. A shareholder whose name appears on the list referred to above is entitled to vote the shares shown opposite his or her name at the Meeting. The list of shareholders is available for inspection during usual business hours at the head office of the Corporation, 5430 Ferrier Street,

4

Town of Mount Royal, Québec, Canada H4P 1M2 and at the Meeting. Only shareholders of record as at the close of business on the Record Date will receive notice of, and be entitled to attend and vote at, the Meeting. A shareholder of record on the Record Date will be entitled to vote those shares included in the list of shareholders entitled to vote at the Meeting prepared as at the Record Date, even though the shareholder may subsequently dispose of his or her shares. No shareholder who has become a shareholder after the Record Date will be entitled to vote his or her shares at the Meeting or any adjournment(s) thereof.

PRINCIPAL SHAREHOLDERS

As at May 6, 2022, to the best knowledge of the Corporation, the following table sets out the only shareholders who beneficially own or exercise control or direction over, directly or indirectly, more than 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Corporation:

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

The Board of Directors currently consists of five directors. The persons named in the enclosed form of proxy intend to vote for the election of the five nominees whose names are set out in the table on page 6 below. Each director will hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders or until the election of his or her successor, unless the director resigns or his or her office becomes vacant by removal, death or other cause.

At last year’s annual meeting of shareholders of the Corporation, held on June 17, 2021, all five candidates proposed as directors were duly elected to the Board of Directors of the Corporation by a majority of the votes cast by shareholders present or represented by proxy at the annual meeting, as follows:

The following table sets out the name of each of the persons proposed to be nominated for election as director, all other positions and offices with the Corporation now held by such person, his or her province and country of residence and principal occupation, the year in which such person became a director of the Corporation, each committee of the Board of Directors on which such person currently serves, and the number of common shares of the Corporation that such person has advised are beneficially owned or over which control or direction is exercised by such person as at the date indicated below.

5

The information as to shares and other securities of the Corporation beneficially owned or over which the above-named individuals exercise control or direction is not within the knowledge of the Corporation and has been furnished by the respective nominees individually. The Corporation does not have an Executive Committee of the Board of Directors.

To the knowledge of the Corporation, except as set out below, none of the foregoing nominees for election as a director of the Corporation:

6

Each of the foregoing nominees is currently a director of the Corporation. On July 8, 2020, the Corporation obtained an Initial Order pursuant to the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (Canada) (the “CCAA”) from the Québec Superior Court in order to implement a restructuring plan. Among other things, the Initial Order provided for the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers (“PwC”) as Monitor in the CCAA proceedings. The Corporation obtained a similar order for DAVIDsTEA (USA) Inc., its wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary, under Chapter 15 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. On July 16, 2020, the Corporation obtained an Amended and Restated Initial Order from the Québec Superior Court extending to September 17, 2020 the application of the Initial Order. On September 17, 2020, the Québec Superior Court issued a Claims Process Order establishing the claims procedures for the Corporation’s creditors under the CCAA. The Claims Process Order, among other things, set 5:00 p.m. (eastern time) on November 6, 2020 as the time by which creditors of the Corporation and of DAVIDsTEA (USA) Inc. had to submit their claims to PwC. The Court also extended the stay of all proceedings against the Corporation then in effect to December 15, 2020. The Québec Superior Court subsequently extended the stay of all proceedings against the Corporation to June 4, 2021. On May 7, 2021, the Corporation obtained an order from the Québec Superior Court authorizing the Corporation to file a Plan of Arrangement under the CCAA and to call a creditors’ meeting to be held on June 11, 2021. The Court also extended to July 16, 2021 the foregoing stay of all proceedings against the Corporation. On June 11, 2021, the Plan of Arrangement under the CCAA was approved by the requisite majorities of creditors of the Corporation and of DAVIDsTEA (USA) Inc., its wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary, respectively, following which the Corporation obtained a sanction order on June 16, 2021 from the Québec Superior Court for the Plan of Arrangement. On June 17, 2021, the Corporation obtained an order under Chapter 15 of the United States Bankruptcy Code from the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware recognizing the sanction order issued by the Québec Superior Court. The Corporation then funded PwC, the Court-appointed Monitor in the CCAA proceedings, with approximately $17.6 million for distribution to the creditors of the Corporation and of DAVIDsTEA (USA) Inc., in full and final settlement of all claims affected by the Plan of Arrangement. The funding of PwC completed the Corporation’s legal obligations under the Plan of Arrangement.

Jane Silverstone Segal was a director of Le Château Inc. (“Le Château”) until her resignation effective December 16, 2020. On January 11, 2021, Le Château announced that it had received a cease trade order issued by the Autorité des marchés financiers as a result of Le Château’s failure to file its unaudited interim financial statements, management’s discussion and analysis and related CEO and CFO certifications for the three and nine-month periods ended October 24, 2020. On October 23, 2020, Le Château obtained an order from the Québec Superior Court under the CCAA in order to proceed with the orderly liquidation of its assets and wind down of its operations, which order appointed PwC as monitor to Le Château to oversee its operations during the liquidation. On November 2, 2020, Le Château obtained a liquidation order from the Québec Superior Court, allowing Le Château to proceed with the sale of its assets and wind down of its operations.

Oink Oink Candy Inc., doing business as “Squish”, is a company controlled by Sarah Segal, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Brand Officer of the Corporation. On July 28, 2020, Oink Oink Candy Inc. filed a notice of intention to file a proposal pursuant to the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada). Raymond Chabot Inc. was appointed as trustee to the notice of intention. On November 25, 2020, Oink Oink Candy Inc. filed a proposal pursuant to the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act. On December 16, 2020, a creditors’ meeting was held to vote on the proposal, at which the proposal was approved by the required majority of creditors. On January 21, 2021, the Québec Superior Court approved and homologated the proposal. On February 24, 2021, Raymond Chabot Inc., as trustee, signed a Certificate of Full Performance of the proposal.

None of the foregoing nominees for election as director of the Corporation has been subject to:

Majority Voting for Directors

On February 15, 2017, the Board of Directors adopted a Majority Voting Policy for the election of directors. The form of proxy that accompanies this Circular enables shareholders to vote in favour of, or to withhold their vote, separately, for each director nominee. Under the Majority Voting Policy, in an uncontested election, any director nominee who receives a greater number of votes “withheld” than votes “for” his or her election must promptly tender his or her resignation to the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee (the “CGNC”) of the Board of Directors for consideration.

7

The CGNC will consider the resignation and recommend to the Board the action to be taken with respect to such tendered resignation. The CGNC will be expected to accept and recommend acceptance of the resignation by the Board of Directors unless the circumstances direct otherwise. The Board of Directors will consider the recommendation of the CGNC and determine whether or not to accept it. A press release disclosing the Board’s determination (and the reasons for rejecting the resignation, if applicable) will be issued within 90 days following the date of the relevant meeting of shareholders and a copy of the press release will be sent concurrently to NASDAQ. The director’s resignation, if accepted, becomes effective immediately when accepted by the Board.

Any director who tenders his or her resignation pursuant to the Majority Voting Policy will not participate in the recommendation of the CGNC or the decision of the Board with respect to such resignation.

Subject to any restrictions imposed by law, where the Board accepts a resignation in accordance with the Majority Voting Policy, the Board may (i) leave the director vacancy unfilled until the next annual meeting of shareholders, (ii) fill the vacancy through the appointment of a new director, or (iii) call a special meeting of shareholders at which a new candidate will be presented to fill the vacant position.

The Majority Voting Policy applies only in circumstances involving an uncontested election of directors. For purposes of the Majority Voting Policy, an “uncontested election” means any meeting of shareholders called for, either alone or with other matters, the election of directors, with respect to which (i) the number of nominees for election is equal to the number of positions on the Board of Directors to be filled through the election to be conducted at such meeting, and/or (ii) proxies are being solicited for such election of directors only by the Corporation.

The Corporation will disclose the voting results promptly after the Meeting by way of press release and via a voting results report filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov.

COMPENSATION OF EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS

This section provides information regarding the Corporation’s executive compensation objectives and process and discusses compensation relating to each person who acted as Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Corporation and the three most highly-compensated executive officers of the Corporation (or three most highly-compensated individuals acting in a similar capacity), other than the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, whose total compensation was more than $150,000 in the Corporation’s last financial year (each a “Named Executive Officer” and collectively the “Named Executive Officers” or “NEOs”). For the fiscal year ended January 29, 2022, the Corporation’s Named Executive Officers and their respective positions were as follows:

This discussion may contain forward-looking statements that are based on the Corporation’s current plans, considerations, expectations and determinations regarding future compensation programs. Actual compensation programs that the Corporation adopts may differ materially from the programs summarized in this discussion.

Executive and Director Compensation

Processes and Procedures for Compensation Decisions

The Human Resources and Compensation Committee (“HRCC”) of the Board of Directors is responsible for the executive compensation programs for the Corporation’s executive officers and reports to the Board on its discussions, decisions and other actions. The HRCC reviews and approves corporate goals and objectives relating to the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer, evaluates the performance of the Chief Executive Officer in light of those goals and objectives and determines and approves the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer based on such evaluation. The HRCC has the sole authority to determine the Chief Executive Officer’s compensation. In addition, the HRCC, in consultation with the Chief Executive Officer, reviews and approves all compensation for the other officers and directors. The Chief Executive Officer also makes compensation recommendations for the other executive officers and initially proposes the corporate and departmental performance objectives under the Executive Incentive Compensation Plan to the HRCC.

The HRCC is authorized to retain the services of one or more executive compensation and benefits consultants or other outside experts or advisors as it sees fit, in connection with the establishment of the Corporation’s compensation programs and related policies.

Insider Trading Policy

The Corporation has adopted an insider trading policy that applies to the equity transactions of all the employees, including most notably of directors and officers, including Named Executive Officers. Under the policy, transactions by covered individuals in the Corporation’s securities are authorized only during insider trading windows (which open the second full day after financial results are released for each of quarters one, two and three to permit market adjustments), and all transactions must be pre-approved and cleared by the Corporate Secretary to avoid any appearance of trading based on non- public information.

Hedging Prohibition

Hedging transactions can be accomplished through a variety of mechanisms including prepaid forward contracts, equity swaps and collars and other similar devices. Because hedging transactions permit the holder of the securities to continue to own the securities without the full risks and rewards of ownership, such transactions can cause the interests of such holder not to be aligned with the Corporation’s other shareholders and therefore the employees, officers and directors of the Corporation are prohibited from hedging any equity-based compensation or shares of the Corporation.

Automatic Securities Disposition Plan (10b5-1 Plan)

Automatic Securities Disposition Plans are permitted under the Insider Trading Policy and must be approved by the Corporate Secretary and meet the requirements of the Securities Act (Québec) and similar rules and regulations under other applicable Canadian securities laws as well as Rule 10b5-1(c)(1)(i)(B) under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In general, such plans must be entered into at a time when the person entering into the plan is not aware of any material non-public information with respect to the Corporation.

Short and Long-term Incentive Plans

The Corporation’s executive compensation policy aims to attract and retain competent individuals and motivate them to optimize value for shareholders. The compensation program is designed to be competitive, and to promote the achievement of both short and long-term objectives.

In 2020, the HRCC engaged PCI-Perrault Consulting Inc. (“PCI”) to provide independent compensation advice with a mandate consisting of: reviewing and providing advice to the HRCC on the compensation structure for the Chief Executive Officer and other NEOs; benchmarking Named Executive Officer compensation relative to the Corporation’s peer groups; reviewing and offering advice on the design of the Short-term Incentive Plan (“STIP”) and Long-term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”); and a one-time equity grant for the appointments of Sarah Segal and Frank Zitella to their positions of Chief Executive Officer and President, respectively.

9

The HRCC is responsible for annually reviewing and approving the executive compensation program and executive compensation, including determining the compensation elements and the compensation mix to balance the executives’ focus on short-term and long-term objectives.

In 2015, the Corporation adopted the 2015 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “2015 Omnibus Plan”) in connection with its initial public offering. All equity and equity-based awards, including awards of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to the Named Executive Officers granted during the fiscal year ended January 29, 2022, were made under the 2015 Omnibus Plan. As the Corporation’s common shares are currently traded solely on the NASDAQ Global Market, the grant value and number of units awarded were determined based on the U.S. dollar share price.

The Fiscal 2021 compensation program for the Named Executive Officers was comprised of base salary, short-term incentives and long-term incentives.

Base Salary

Base Salary for the NEOs reflects salaries offered for positions involving similar responsibilities and complexity, internal equity comparisons, as well as the individual’s experience.

Short-Term Incentive Plan

The STIP is comprised of both cash and share-based compensation elements and is intended to compensate NEOs and members of the senior management team for achieving short-term corporate goals. The Corporation believes that establishing a STIP is an important factor in both attracting and retaining the services of qualified and highly-skilled executives. It is also intended to reward the NEOs and members of the senior management team for both the overall performance of the Corporation and individual performance during the year.

Compensation under the STIP is based on achievement of specific levels of earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation expense, non-recurring software implementation costs, restructuring plan activities and government wage and rent subsidies (“Adjusted EBITDA”). The Corporation believes that Adjusted EBITDA aligns the interests of management and shareholders and represents an appropriate measure to link the Corporation’s short-term corporate goals under the STIP.

The goal of the annual STIP is to link the NEOs and the senior management team annual pay to the achievement of Adjusted EBITDA. The award is at risk and a STIP payment is made only if the Adjusted EBITDA is met. The amount of STIP payment depends on performance. Performance exceeding the Adjusted EBITDA will lead to above-target payments (“Max”). Performance below Adjusted EBITDA will lead to below-target payments, which can be zero if results are not achieved (“Threshold”). In Fiscal 2021, the Adjusted EBITDA financial target was $8.9 million (“Target”) and Threshold and Max financial goals were determined to be 80% and 150% of Target, respectively. These targets are typically based on the operating plan and budget approved in advance by the Board of Directors for the year. The performance measures are used to calibrate the STIP payout. The STIP is paid out in a combination of cash and RSUs.

In Fiscal 2021, the STIP for all NEOs, as well as other members of the senior management team, was based entirely on the achievement of Adjusted EBITDA. This design is intended to align STIP compensation with shareholder interests. While performance against individual goals does not impact STIP payouts for senior executives (including the NEOs), it is considered in decisions regarding salary adjustments.

In assessing actual performance against the established performance targets, the HRCC may make additional adjustments. Typically, these adjustments are made in order to address developments arising during the year that were not contemplated when the targets (or relevant operating plan and budget on which the targets were based) were approved.

Notwithstanding the above formula, the HRCC may, in its sole discretion, adjust the calculated payment, including cancelling payment altogether, should it determine that the calculated payment requires adjustment.

10

The Threshold, Target and Max achievement levels and actual level of achievement for the NEOs are set out in the table below.

For the fiscal year ended January 29, 2022, the Corporation did not meet the STIP achievement levels.

Long-Term Incentive Plans

The goal of the LTIP is to align NEOs and senior leadership team members to shareholder interests and focus attention on long-term performance. Since LTIP grants vest over a period of time, they also encourage retention. LTIP is a share-based reward, typically RSUs, that normally vest over a period of three years as follows: 25% on the first and second anniversaries of the grant and 50% on the third anniversary of the grant.

The target award values for the Named Executive Officers are set out in the table below.

Actual awards for the fiscal year ended January 29, 2022 can be found in the Summary Compensation Table set out below. Under the 2015 Omnibus Plan, when calculating the number of stock options and/or RSUs/performance share units granted based on the target award values, the Corporation determines the award value in the currency used to pay the Named Executive Officer, and if in Canadian dollars, converts the dollar amount into U.S. dollars to determine the award value.

11

Special One-Time LTIP Award

During Fiscal Year 2021, the HRCC and the independent Board members proposed the implementation of a special one-time LTIP award, in the form of RSUs, for Sarah Segal and Frank Zitella to reflect their respective contributions and nominations. The determination of the value range of the respective grants was based upon PCI’s presentation of a compilation of data regarding one-time appointment grants offered to NEOs employed by many public Canadian and U.S. companies. The HRCC and the independent Board members also considered the timing of the award, and it was determined that the timing would be subsequent to the fulfillment of the terms of the Plan of Arrangement under the CCAA. On August 6, 2021, the Board approved the special one-time award of grants to each of Ms. Segal and Mr. Zitella in an amount equal to 150% of their base salaries, respectively. The HRCC and the independent Board members also agreed that the vesting date of the grants would begin on the anniversary date of their nominations and vest over a period of three years as follows: 25% on the first and second anniversaries of their nominations and 50% on the third anniversary of their nominations.

OTHER MATTERS

Management of the Corporation knows of no other matter to come before the Meeting other than those referred to in the Notice of Meeting. However, if any other matters which are not known to management should properly come before the Meeting, the accompanying form of proxy confers discretionary authority upon the persons named therein to vote on such matters in accordance with their best judgment.

SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS

The Canada Business Corporations Act provides, in effect, that a registered shareholder or a Beneficial Shareholder that is entitled to vote at an annual meeting of the Corporation may submit to the Corporation notice of any matter that the person proposes to raise at the meeting (referred to as a “Proposal”) and discuss at the meeting any matter in respect of which the person would have been entitled to submit a Proposal.

However, the Corporation will not be required to set out the Proposal in its management proxy circular or include a supporting statement if, among other things, the Proposal is not submitted to the Corporation at least 90 days before the anniversary date of the notice of meeting that was sent to the shareholders in connection with the previous annual meeting of shareholders of the Corporation. As the notice in connection with the Meeting is dated May 12, 2022, the deadline for submitting a proposal to the Corporation in connection with the next annual meeting of shareholders is February 11, 2023.

The foregoing is a summary only; shareholders should carefully review the provisions of the Canada Business Corporations Act relating to Proposals and consult with a legal advisor.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

National Policy 58-201 Corporate Governance Guidelines and National Instrument 58-101 Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices set out a series of guidelines for effective corporate governance. The guidelines address matters such as the composition and independence of corporate boards, the functions to be performed by boards and their committees, and the effectiveness and education of board members. Each reporting issuer, such as the Corporation, must disclose on an annual basis and in prescribed form, the corporate governance practices that it has adopted. The Corporation’s required annual disclosure of its corporate governance practices is set out below.

As a reporting issuer in the Province of Québec with securities listed on the NASDAQ, the Corporation complies with all applicable rules adopted by the Autorité des marchés financiers (Québec) and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. As a Canadian issuer, the Corporation is exempt from complying with many of the NASDAQ Corporate Governance Standards, provided that the Corporation complies with Canadian governance requirements. The Board is of the view that the Corporation’s corporate governance practices satisfy the applicable requirements of the Province of Québec, as reflected in the disclosure made below. The Board of Directors has approved the disclosure of the Corporation’s corporate governance practices described below, on the recommendation of the CGNC.

Independence

The Board of Directors consists of five directors. Directors are elected or appointed to hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders or until their earlier resignation or removal from office in accordance with the Corporation’s by-laws.

Three of the five directors comprising the Board of Directors are considered “independent” pursuant to Section 1.4 of Québec Regulation 52-110 respecting Audit Committees. Under that provision, Susan L. Burkman, Pat De Marco and Peter Robinson are considered independent, while Sarah Segal is not considered to be independent in that she is an executive officer of the Corporation and Jane Silverstone Segal is not considered to be independent in that she is the mother of Sarah Segal. The independence of directors is determined by the Board based on the results of

20

independence questionnaires completed by each director annually, as well as other factual circumstances reviewed on an ongoing basis. Of the five candidates to be nominated for election as directors at the Meeting, three (Susan L. Burkman, Pat De Marco and Peter Robinson) are considered independent and two (Sarah Segal and Jane Silverstone Segal) are not considered independent pursuant to Section 1.4 of Québec Regulation 52-110 respecting Audit Committees.

In accordance with applicable law and the Corporation’s policy, each director is required to disclose to the Board any potential conflict of interest he or she may have in a matter before the Board or a committee thereof at the beginning of the Board or committee meeting. A director who is in a potential conflict of interest must not attend any part of the meeting during which the matter is discussed or participate in a vote on such matter.

Other Reporting Issuers

None of the directors of the Corporation is currently a director of another issuer that is a reporting issuer (or the equivalent) in a jurisdiction of Canada or a foreign jurisdiction.

In Camera Sessions

To enhance the independent judgment of the Board of Directors, the independent members of the Board of Directors may meet in the absence of the non-independent directors and members of management. Such meetings are chaired by the Lead Director, as described below. An in camera session is scheduled as part of every meeting of the Board of Directors and its committees to allow independent directors to meet without non-independent directors and members of management, as necessary. All non-independent directors are responsible to the Board of Directors as a whole and have a duty of care to the Corporation.

Chair of the Board

Jane Silverstone Segal, Chair of the Board, chairs meetings of the Board of Directors, but is not considered to be an independent director in that she is the mother of Sarah Segal, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Brand Officer of the Corporation. Pat De Marco, an independent director, has served as “Lead Director” since his appointment by the Board of Directors on September 23, 2018, upon the recommendation of the CGNC. As Lead Director, Mr. De Marco provides leadership in ensuring Board effectiveness and is responsible for facilitating and encouraging open and effective communication between management of the Corporation and the Board of Directors, consulting with the Chair of the Board in setting the agenda for Board meetings, ensuring Board committees function appropriately, chairing meetings of the independent members of the Board of Directors and chairing Board of Directors’ meetings if the Chair of the Board is absent.

21

Board and Committee Meetings

During the period from January 31, 2021 to the date hereof, inclusively, the Board of Directors held twelve meetings, the Audit Committee held five meetings, the HRCC held nine meetings and the CGNC held five meetings. The Corporation does not have an Executive Committee. Attendance of directors at the meetings is set out in the table below.

The Board of Directors has adopted a Charter of the Board of Directors delineating its principal roles and responsibilities. The Charter of the Board of Directors is available on the Corporation’s Investor Relations website at http://ir.davidstea.com under “Corporate Governance”. As set out in the Charter of the Board of Directors, the responsibilities of the Board include the following:

22

Chair of the Board

The Board of Directors has not adopted a written position description for the Chair of the Board of Directors. The primary responsibilities of the Chair of the Board are to provide leadership to the Board in order to enhance Board effectiveness and to oversee that the relationship between the Board, management, shareholders and other stakeholders is effective, efficient and further to the best interests of the Corporation, chair meetings of the Board of Directors, and ensure Board meetings function appropriately.

Committee Chairs

The Board of Directors has not adopted a written position description for the chair of each Board committee. The primary role and responsibility of the chair of each committee of the Board of Directors is to: (i) in general, ensure that the committee fulfills its mandate, as determined by the Board of Directors; (ii) chair meetings of the committee; (iii) report thereon to the Board of Directors; and (iv) act as liaison between the committee and the Board of Directors and, if necessary, management of the Corporation.

Chief Executive Officer

The Board of Directors has adopted a written position description for the Chief Executive Officer. The position description provides that the Chief Executive Officer will report to the Board of Directors and that the prime responsibility of the Chief Executive Officer is to lead the Corporation by providing a strategic direction that includes the development and implementation of plans, policies, strategies and budgets for the growth and profitable operation of the Corporation. In fulfilling such responsibilities, the Chief Executive Officer will, among other things: (i) see that the day-to-day business affairs of the Corporation are appropriately managed; (ii) work with key stakeholders to develop the Corporation’s strategic plan that is aligned with the Board of Directors; (iii) recommend to the Board of Directors and, following their approval by the Board, consistently strive to achieve the Corporation’s financial and operating goals and objectives; (iv) formulate policies and proposed actions and present to the Board of Directors for approval the long-term business plan, strategies and policies that lead to the creation of shareholder value; (v) develop and recommend to the Board of Directors annual business plans and budgets that support the Corporation’s long-term business plan and strategies; and (f) oversee the Corporation’s achievement and maintenance of a satisfactory competitive position within its industry.

Orientation

The HRCC is responsible for developing, monitoring and reviewing the Corporation’s orientation and continuing education programs for directors. New directors are provided with an information package on the Corporation’s business, its strategic and operational business plans, its operating performance, its governance system and its financial position. Also, new directors meet individually with the Chief Executive Officer and other senior executives to discuss these matters. The Board ensures that prospective candidates fully understand the role of the Board and its Committees and the contribution that individual directors are expected to make, including, in particular, the personal commitment that the Corporation expects of its directors.

23

Continuing Education

All Board members regularly monitor the Corporation’s website and have visited DAVIDsTEA’s stores. Management makes presentations to the Board on a range of topics that are relevant to the Corporation’s operations. Senior management makes regular presentations to the Board and its committees to educate them and keep them informed of developments within the Corporation’s main areas of business and operations, as well as on key legal, regulatory and industry developments. Directors are also provided with Board and Board committee materials in advance of regularly-scheduled meetings. Directors receive periodic updates between Board meetings on matters that affect the Corporation’s business. Finally, Board members have full access to the Corporation’s senior management and employees.

The Corporation’s Code of Ethics for Senior Managers and Financial Officers (the “Code of Ethics”) is applicable to all of the Corporation’s directors, senior managers and financial officers and has been developed to promote the honest and ethical conduct of our directors, senior managers and financial officers, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships; to promote full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in periodic reports required to be filed by the Corporation; and to promote compliance with all applicable rules and regulations that apply to the Corporation and its officers. The Code of Ethics is available on the Corporation’s Investor Relations website at http://ir.davidstea.com under “Corporate Governance”. The Code of Ethics addresses several matters, including conflicts of interest, integrity of corporate records, confidentiality of corporate information, protection and use of corporate assets and opportunities, insider trading, compliance with laws and reporting of unethical or illegal behaviour. No waiver has ever been granted to a director or executive officer in connection with the Code of Ethics.

In addition to monitoring compliance with the Code of Ethics, the Board has adopted whistleblowing procedures for reporting unethical or questionable acts by the Corporation or employees thereof. Complaints can be made via telephone at a confidential line called the integrity line. Any human resources-related question is redirected to the Corporation’s Head of Human Resources while any issue of misconduct or fraud is redirected to the Chair of the Audit Committee who is responsible for overseeing the whistleblowing procedures.

The Articles of the Corporation provide that the Board shall consist of not less than three and not more than 15 directors. Each director is elected for a one-year term ending at the next annual meeting of shareholders or when his or her successor is elected, unless he or she resigns or his or her office otherwise becomes vacant.

The process by which the Board establishes new candidates for Board nominations lies within the discretion of the Board of Directors with a view of the best interests of the Corporation and in accordance with the corporate governance guidelines. Pursuant to the Corporation’s governing statutes, Articles and by-laws, new candidates for Board nominations can be proposed by the shareholders and will be voted on by the shareholders at each annual meeting of shareholders.

Before making a recommendation on a new director candidate, the Chair of the Board and members of the CGNC meet with the candidate to discuss the candidate’s interest and ability to devote the time and commitment required to serve on the Board. In certain circumstances, the Board may also retain an independent recruiting firm to identify director candidates and fix such firm’s fees and other retention terms.

The three members of the CGNC are Peter Robinson (chair), Susan L. Burkman and Pat De Marco, each of whom is an independent director. The Charter of the CGNC is available on the Corporation’s Investor Relations website at http://ir.davidstea.com under “Corporate Governance”.

24

Directors

The HRCC reviews the compensation of the Corporation’s directors annually and is mandated to review and recommend to the Board of Directors for approval the remuneration of directors. The HRCC considers time commitment, comparative fees and responsibilities in determining remuneration of the Corporation’s directors.

Executive Officers

The HRCC’s primary purpose, with respect to compensation, is to assist the Board of Directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities and to make recommendations to the Board of Directors with respect to the compensation of the Corporation’s executive officers. Independent consultants may be periodically retained to assist the HRCC in fulfilling its responsibilities when needed. As required in its mandate, the HRCC is composed of a majority of independent directors, including the Chairman of the committee who must qualify as an independent director. The three members of the HRCC are Susan L. Burkman (chair), Pat De Marco and Peter Robinson. The HRCC Charter is available on the Corporation’s Investor Relations website at http://ir.davidstea.com under “Corporate Governance”.

The Board does not have any committees other than the Audit Committee, HRCC and CGNC.

On an annual basis, the CGNC is responsible for the process of assessing the performance and effectiveness of the Board as a whole, the Board committees, committee chairs and individual directors. Questionnaires are distributed to each director for the purpose of (i) evaluating the Board’s responsibilities and functions, its operations, how it compares with boards of other companies on which the directors serve and the performance of the Board’s committees and (ii) inviting directors to make suggestions for improving the performance of the Chair of the Board, committee chairs and individual directors. The results of the questionnaires are compiled by the CGNC on a confidential basis to encourage full and frank commentary. The CGNC can meet with Board members individually in order to discuss the questionnaires. The results of the questionnaires as well as any issues raised during individual discussions are presented and discussed at a following meeting of the Board. At all times, Board members are free to discuss among themselves the performance of a fellow director or to submit such matter to the CGNC. Based on the outcome of the discussion, the CGNC then presents to the Board the assessment’s findings and its recommendations to enhance the performance and effectiveness of the Board and its committees.

The Board does not impose nor does it believe that it should establish term limits or retirement age limits for its directors, as such limits may cause the loss of experience and expertise important to the optimal performance of the Board.

The Corporation does not currently have a written policy relating to the identification and nomination of women, Aboriginal peoples, persons with disabilities or members of visible minorities as directors. Despite not having a formal policy, diversity, including gender, is an important component of the selection process for new members of the Board of Directors.

When the Board of Directors recommends candidates for director positions, it considers not only the qualifications, personal qualities, business background and experience of the candidates, it also considers the composition of the group of nominees, to best bring together a selection of candidates allowing the Board of Directors to perform efficiently and act in the best interest of the Corporation and its shareholders. The Corporation is aware of the benefits of diversity on the Board, and therefore representation of women, Aboriginal peoples, persons with disabilities and members of visible minorities is one factor taken into consideration during the search process for directors.

25

The Corporation has not adopted a “target” number or percentage regarding women, Aboriginal peoples, persons with disabilities or members of visible minorities on the Board of Directors. The Corporation considers candidates based on their qualifications, personal qualities, business background and experience, and does not feel that targets necessarily result in the identification or selection of the best candidates.

There are three women on the Board of Directors of the Corporation, representing 60% of the membership of the Board of Directors. There are at present no Aboriginal peoples, persons with disabilities or members of visible minorities on the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

Representation of women and minorities on the Board of Directors is one of the factors taken into consideration by the CGNC in the selection process for new members of the Board of Directors. This consideration is assessed annually by the CGNC when evaluating the Corporation’s corporate governance practices compared to best practices. The CGNC has emphasized recruiting women in recent years in the mandates it has given to search firms and by identifying candidates who are women in its selection process. At present, three of the Board members are women, representing 60% of the total number of directors.

The Corporation does not have a formal policy on diversity in senior management positions. The Corporation is, however, mindful of the benefit of diversity in senior management, including the representation of women, Aboriginal peoples, persons with disabilities and members of visible minorities in senior management positions, and the need to maximize their effectiveness and respective decision making abilities. Accordingly, in searches for new candidates, while the Corporation seeks to recruit or appoint the most qualified individuals for particular positions, it considers the merit of potential candidates based on a balance of skills, background, experience and knowledge, including taking diversity into consideration.

The Corporation has not adopted a “target” regarding women, Aboriginal peoples, persons with disabilities or members of visible minorities on the Board of Directors or in executive officer positions. The term “target” is defined in National Instrument 58-101 Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices as, in effect, a number or percentage, or a range of numbers or percentages, adopted by the Corporation of women on the Board of Directors or in executive officer positions of the Corporation by a specific date. Although the Corporation has not adopted a target for the number of women, Aboriginal peoples, persons with disabilities or members of visible minorities on the Board of Directors or in executive officer positions, it has always supported and continues to pursue its efforts to promote such representation. In its work related to the composition of the Board of Directors, representation of women, Aboriginal peoples, persons with disabilities and members of visible minorities on the Board of Directors is one of the factors taken into consideration by the CGNC.

There are three women on the Board of Directors of the Corporation, representing 60% of the total number of directors. None of the directors are Aboriginal peoples, persons with disabilities or members of visible minorities.

The Corporation currently has two executive officers, of whom one (50%) is a woman. None of the executive officers of the Corporation are Aboriginal peoples, persons with disabilities or members of visible minorities.

Notice-and-Access

The Corporation has elected to use “notice-and-access” rules (“Notice-and-Access”) under National Instrument 54-101 Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer (“NI 54-101”) for distribution of its Proxy-Related Materials (as defined below) to shareholders who do not hold shares of the Corporation in their own names (“Beneficial Shareholders”). Notice-and-Access is a set of rules that allows issuers to post electronic versions of proxy-related materials on SEDAR and on one additional website, rather than mailing paper copies. “Proxy-Related Materials” refers to the Circular, the Notice of Meeting, a VIF and a form of proxy.

The use of Notice-and-Access is more environmentally friendly as it helps reduce paper use. It also reduces the Corporation’s printing and mailing costs. Beneficial Shareholders may obtain further information about Notice-and-Access by contacting TSX Trust Company toll free at 800-387-0825 (within North America) or 416-682-3860 (outside North America).
