Letter to Shareholders
Fellow Shareholders,

On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am pleased to present this year's Management Information Circular and invite you to attend our Annual General Meeting to be held on Thursday, June 13, 2024, at 10:00 am PST via webcast. Details on accessing the meeting can be found in "Section 1: Voting" within this document.

The agenda will include votes for the election of directors, the selection of our independent auditors, and the adoption of an advisory resolution to support our 2024 executive compensation plan. The Annual General Meeting also allows shareholders to ask questions of the Board of Directors and Executive Management team members. We encourage you to read this Management Information Circular and vote your shares in advance, at the meeting, online, by phone, or by completing and mailing your proxy or voting instruction form by mail or fax.

In 2023, we made significant progress against our strategic priorities of implementing operational efficiencies, achieving cost reductions, and improving our balance sheet. As we move forward, we remain committed to enhancing our capabilities and seizing new opportunities for sustained growth and success. As part of our pursuit to innovate and evolve, the recent announcement with the Volvo Group to establish a joint venture focused on global adoption and commercialization of Westport's HPDI fuel system technology demonstrates our commitment to reducing CO2 emissions for long-haul and off-road applications.

With our new CEO Daniel Sceli, management and the Board are unified in Westport's growth strategy to drive success via our HPDI joint venture (JV) with the Volvo Group, improve operational excellence and reimagine a hydrogen-powered future.

Board of Directors
In our effort to better align resources and achieve cost reductions at the Board level, the Technology and Product Strategy Committee was discontinued in early 2024 with the intention of redirecting its functions and attention towards the JV. We also
proactively decided to reduce the size of the Board with the retirement of Rita Forst at the end of her term. On behalf of the Board of Directors, I want to thank Rita for her invaluable insight and dedicated service to the organization.

Driving innovation, supporting the achievement of our strategic plan, and increasing shareholder value requires a Board of Directors comprised of experienced, independent-minded people. Our diverse Board continues to draw from deep areas of expertise including engineering and manufacturing in the global transportation sector, energy industry, c-suite leadership, legal, finance/accounting, governance, and risk management. I welcome you to read in detail about our director nominees and the Board of Directors Skills Matrix within this Circular.
Corporate Governance
Our central aim at Westport is to hasten the impact of the energy transition by bringing our products to market, all while meticulously minimizing our environmental footprint. In 2023, we enacted our Environmental Policy, which underscores our awareness of the necessity for ongoing initiatives and projects dedicated to minimizing the environmental footprint of our organizational activities. This commitment extends to influencing the practices of our suppliers, customers, and other stakeholders, aligning with our dedication to sustainability and responsible corporate citizenship.

At the Meeting, we will conduct our fifth annual "say-on-pay" advisory vote on executive compensation. Our most recent "say-on-pay" vote, held at the 2023 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders resulted in 86.99% of voted shares in favor of the resolution accepting our approach to executive compensation. In keeping with governance trends in North America and in the interest of soliciting your feedback, we continue to offer an annual "say-on-pay" advisory vote and encourage you to vote this year.

We appreciate your continued support in Westport, and we look forward to you joining us virtually at the 2024 Annual General Meeting.

Sincerely,

Daniel M. Hancock
Chair of the Board of Directors

Broadridge is the approved intermediary for mailing proxy-related materials to objecting beneficial shareholders ("Objecting Beneficial Owners" or "OBOs") and non-objecting beneficial shareholders ("Non-Objecting Beneficial Owners" or "NOBOs"). Computershare, as our transfer agent, is the approved intermediary for mailing proxy-related materials to Registered Shareholders.
Voting of Common Shares
General
As of May 7, 2024, there were 17,233,960 Common Shares issued and outstanding, each of which carries the right to one vote at the Meeting. Only Registered Shareholders as of the close of business on May 7, 2024 (the "Record Date") are entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Meeting.
Beneficial Shareholders are not entitled to receive notice of the Meeting or vote their Common Shares at the Meeting and should refer to the section entitled "Beneficial Holders of Common Shares" for details regarding how they may exercise their voting rights.

Any person who acquires Common Shares after the Record Date may vote those Common Shares if, not later than ten days prior to the Meeting, that person makes a request to Computershare to have their name included as a Registered Shareholder on the list of Shareholders for the Meeting and establishes that he or she owns the Common Shares.
Beneficial Holders of Common Shares
WESTPORT FUEL SYSTEMS INC. 2024 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR | 6
Section 1: Voting | Voting of Common Shares
The information below is important as most shareholders do not hold Common Shares in their own name, but rather by a broker or an agent of that broker.
1.If your Common Shares are held in a brokerage account, then in almost all cases those Common Shares will not be registered in your name on the share register maintained by Computershare. Those Common Shares will most likely be registered in the name of your broker or an agent of that broker.
2.In Canada, the vast majority of Common Shares are registered in the name of CDS & Co. (the registration name for CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc., which acts as nominee for many Canadian brokerage firms). Common Shares held by brokers, or their agents or nominees can only be voted (for or against resolutions) on the instructions of the Beneficial Shareholder. Without specific instructions, brokers and their agents and nominees are prohibited from voting Common Shares for the broker's clients.
3.Beneficial Shareholders cannot be recognized at the Meeting for purposes of voting virtually or by way of proxy unless your brokers or agents are given specific instructions. If you are a Beneficial Shareholder and wish to vote virtually at the Meeting, please contact your broker or agent in advance of the Meeting to determine how you can vote at the Meeting.
Applicable regulatory policies require brokers to seek voting instructions from Beneficial Shareholders in advance of shareholder meetings. Every brokerage has its own mailing procedures and provides its own return instructions to its clients, which should be carefully followed by Beneficial Shareholders if you wish to ensure your Common Shares are voted at the Meeting. In certain cases, the form of proxy supplied to you as a Beneficial Shareholder by your broker (or agent of the broker) is identical to the proxy provided to Registered Shareholders. However, its purpose is limited to instructing the Registered Shareholder (i.e., the broker or agent of the broker) how to vote on behalf of the Beneficial Shareholder.
Many Canadian brokers now delegate responsibility for obtaining instructions from clients to Broadridge. Broadridge typically prepares a machine-readable voting instruction form, mails that form to Beneficial Shareholders and asks them to return the instruction forms to Broadridge. Alternatively, Beneficial Shareholders can either call Broadridge's toll-free telephone line, 1-800-474-7493, or access the Broadridge dedicated voting website at www.proxyvote.com to deliver voting instructions. Broadridge then tabulates the results of all instructions received and provides instructions respecting the voting of Common Shares to be represented at the Meeting.
Beneficial Shareholders who receive a voting instruction form from Broadridge cannot use that form to vote Common Shares directly at the Meeting - voting instructions must be provided to Broadridge (in accordance with the instructions set forth on the voting instruction form provided by Broadridge) in advance of the Meeting to have the Common Shares voted.
Although a Beneficial Shareholder may not be recognized directly at the Meeting for the purposes of voting Common Shares registered in the name of your broker (or agent of the broker), a Beneficial Shareholder may attend the Meeting as a proxyholder for the Registered Shareholder and vote the Common Shares in that capacity. Beneficial Shareholders who wish to attend the Meeting and indirectly vote their Common Shares as proxyholder for the Registered Shareholder should cross out the names currently on the provided form of proxy, enter their own name(s) in the blank space on the Proxy and return the Proxy to their broker (or the broker's agent) in accordance with the instructions provided by the broker (or broker's agent) in advance of the Meeting.
Objecting Beneficial Owners (OBOs) and Non-Objecting Beneficial Owners (NOBOs)
Beneficial Shareholders fall into two categories: 1) those who object to their identity being made known to the issuers of securities which they own (OBOs): and 2) those who do not object to their identity being made known to the issuers of the securities they own (NOBOs). Subject to the provisions of National Instrument 54-101 - Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer ("NI 54-101") issuers may request and obtain a list of their NOBOs from intermediaries via their transfer agents. Pursuant to NI 54-101, issuers may obtain and use the NOBO list for distribution of proxy-related materials directly (not via Broadridge) to such NOBOs.
Principal Holders of Common Shares
To our knowledge, as of Dec. 31, 2024 Mr. Kevin Douglas, beneficially owns, or controls or directs, directly or indirectly, approximately 1,816,699 Common Shares. He owns 10.5% of the shares outstanding.

Currency and Nomenclature in this Management Information Circular
Unless otherwise specified, all currency amounts are stated in United States dollars. All references to "dollars," "$" or "US$" are United States dollars, and all references to "C$" or "CDN$" are Canadian Dollars. Unless otherwise stated, references to "we," "us," "our," "Westport Fuel Systems" or the "Corporation" are to Westport Fuel Systems Inc. and all its directly and indirectly majority owned subsidiaries.
Matters to be Acted Upon
7 | WESTPORT FUEL SYSTEMS INC. 2024 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR
Section 1: Voting | Matters to be Acted Upon
1.Receipt of 2023 Financial Statements
Westport Fuel Systems' consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, are contained in its Annual Report, and will be forwarded to Registered Shareholders. No formal action will be taken at the Meeting to approve the financial statements, with requirements of the ABCA being met with advanced circulation of the financial statements. If any shareholders have questions regarding the financial statements, your questions may be asked at the Meeting.
2.Election of Directors
Our board of directors (the "Board of Directors" or the "Board") has fixed the number of directors to be nominated at the Meeting at eight (8) with each director being elected individually. All the current nominees were elected as directors by the Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders on April 6, 2023 (with the exception of Daniel Sceli who was appointed to the Board in January 2024). In addition to being an elected director, Ms. Eileen Wheatman is a nominee of Mr. Kevin Douglas according to the terms of a nomination agreement between us and members of the Douglas Group dated March 17, 2016. Each director elected will hold office until the next Annual General Meeting of Shareholders or until their successor is appointed unless their office is vacated earlier in accordance with the By-Laws of the Corporation.

Unless otherwise directed, the persons named in the Proxy, Daniel Sceli, CEO and Jeremy Chan, Associate General Counsel and Corporate Secretary, intend to vote FOR the election of each of the proposed nominees whose names are in this Circular under "Section 2: Board of Directors."
Majority Voting Policy
Our Board of Directors has adopted a majority voting policy (the "Majority Voting Policy") requiring any nominee for director who receives a greater number of votes "withheld" than votes "for" his or her election as a director to immediately submit his or her resignation to the Chair of the Board of Directors ("Board Chair"). The Board Chair will give notice of any resignation to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board of Directors ("NCG Committee") for consideration promptly following the Meeting. This policy applies only to uncontested elections, meaning elections where the number of nominees for directors is equal to the number of directors to be elected.
The NCG Committee shall consider the resignation and shall provide a recommendation regarding the resignation to the Board of Directors within 45 days of the applicable meeting of Shareholders. In considering whether to accept the offer of resignation, the NCG Committee will consider all information and factors deemed relevant including:
•any stated reasons why Shareholders "withheld" votes from the election of the director
•the length of service and the qualification of the director
•the director's contribution to Westport Fuel Systems
•the effect such resignation may have on our ability to comply with applicable governance rules and policies
•the dynamics of the Board of Directors
The Board of Directors will consider the recommendation of the NCG Committee and determine whether to accept the resignation within 90 days of the applicable meeting and a news release will be issued announcing the Board of Directors' determination. In considering whether to accept the offer of resignation, the Board of Directors will consider the information and factors discussed by the NCG Committee and any additional information and factors deemed relevant by the Board.
The Board will only determine not to accept the offer of resignation in exceptional circumstances or where the acceptance of the resignation would be reasonably expected to have a material detrimental effect on the Corporation. A director who tenders his or her resignation will not participate in any meetings of the NCG Committee (if they are a member thereof) or the Board of Directors to consider whether the resignation shall be accepted. Shareholders should note that, in view of the Corporation's Majority Voting Policy, a "withhold" vote is effectively the same as a vote against a director nominee in an uncontested election.
3. Appointment of Auditors
KPMG LLP was first nominated, then elected and appointed as the auditor of the Corporation, effective September 30, 2015. Upon the unanimous recommendation of the Audit Committee, the Board of Directors has proposed that KPMG LLP be nominated for appointment as independent auditor for the current fiscal year.
Reasons for Re-Appointment of KPMG LLP
The Audit Committee considers several factors in deciding to re-engage KPMG LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm, including the following:
•Independence controls and objectivity
•Length of KPMG's service to Westport
•KPMG's audit quality, performance, and results
WESTPORT FUEL SYSTEMS INC. 2024 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR | 8
Section 1: Voting | Matters to be Acted Upon
•Impact of engaging a new auditor
•Appropriateness of KPMG's audit fees
•KPMG's reputation, integrity, and competence
•KPMG's institutional company-industry knowledge, experience, and expertise
Based on the above factors, the Audit Committee and Board believe the continued retention of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm is in the best interests of the Corporation and its Shareholders. Unless otherwise instructed, the persons named in the Proxy, Daniel Sceli, CEO and Jeremy Chan, Associate General Counsel and Corporate Secretary, intend to vote FOR the appointment of KPMG LLP, Chartered Accountants, 777 Dunsmuir Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, as auditor to hold office for the ensuing year at remuneration to be set by the Board of Directors.
A description of the nature of services and the aggregate fees (including those related to audit and non-audit services) billed to us by KPMG LLP and other members of its network is included in the Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2023, which has been filed on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca under the heading "External Auditor Fees and Services."
4. Advisory Vote on Approach to Executive Compensation
At the Meeting, we will conduct our fifth annual "say-on-pay" advisory vote on executive compensation. Our most recent "say-on-pay" vote, held at the 2023 Annual General Meeting resulted in 86.99% of voted shares in favor of the resolution accepting our approach to executive compensation. Although there were no substantive changes to our executive compensation structure in 2023, in keeping with governance trends in North America and in the interest of soliciting your feedback, we continue to offer an annual "say-on-pay" advisory vote and encourage you to vote this year.

A "say-on-pay" vote gives Shareholders the opportunity to cast an advisory vote regarding a corporation's approach to executive compensation. In the United States, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") has established "say-on-pay" advisory shareholder vote requirements for certain issuers. Although our shares are traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market ("NASDAQ"), we are a "foreign private issuer" under applicable SEC rules. Accordingly, these requirements do not apply to us. "Say-on-pay" shareholder votes have yet to be mandated in Canada. However, several larger issuers in Canada have voluntarily implemented advisory votes and we have decided to voluntarily implement a "say-on-pay" advisory vote as well.
At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if thought fit, to vote for this resolution, accepting our philosophy and approach to executive compensation. For information on our general approach to executive compensation please see "Section 4: Compensation of Executive Officers" of this Circular.

Unless otherwise instructed, the persons named in the proxy, Daniel Sceli, CEO and Jeremy Chan, Associate General Counsel and Corporate Secretary, intend to vote FOR the advisory "say-on-pay" resolution.

As the vote is advisory, results will be non-binding on the Board. The Board and its Human Resources and Compensation Committee ("HRC Committee") will, however, consider the outcome of the vote when reviewing and approving future executive compensation policies and decisions, as well as feedback and comments received from Shareholders during regular shareholder communications.

Section 1: Voting | Matters to be Acted Upon

Interest of Certain Persons or Companies in Matters to be Acted Upon
We are unaware of any material interest, direct or indirect, by way of beneficial ownership of Common Shares or otherwise, of any director, any executive officer or anyone who has held office since January 1, 2023, any proposed nominee for election as director, or of any associate or affiliate of any of the foregoing in any matter to be acted upon at the Meeting, other than the election of directors or the appointment of auditors.

Section 2: Board of Directors
Nomination of Directors
The NCG Committee is responsible for recommending nominees for election at each Annual General Meeting of Shareholders. The NCG Committee considers the Board's composition and assesses any potential skill or expertise enhancements that can be addressed in future recruitment. The Committee is responsible for the recruitment of additional directors and provides the Board with potential nominees for discussion and approval.

Any new appointees or nominees to the Board of Directors must have a demonstrated commitment to high personal and professional integrity and ethical standards, a favorable record of accomplishment in general business management, special expertise in areas of strategic interest to our organization, the ability to devote the time required, and a willingness to serve as a director.

We have a specific policy for our non-management directors of compensating such directors primarily with an annual retainer payment and equity-based compensation. See information in this Circular under the heading "Section 2: Director Compensation." Additionally, non-employee directors are required to meet share ownership guidelines and hold equity in the Corporation of a minimum five times their annual cash retainer in Common Shares or Units, to be acquired over a five-year period.(3) For further information see "Section 2: Share Ownership Requirements" of this Circular.
Notes:
1.The number of Common Shares and Units beneficially owned or controlled are provided as of May 7, 2024. The information as to these numbers, not being within the knowledge of Westport Fuel Systems, has been furnished by the respective nominees. The number of Common Shares held by directors varies in shareholding positions primarily due to purchase price or grant amounts at varying times and share prices.
2.Certain of such Units are subject to a time-based or performance-based restriction.
3.In April 2020, the Board approved a change to the share ownership requirements for non-employee directors, increasing it to five times their annual cash retainer from the prior requirement of three. As a result, the expected acquisition period has been reset to five years for all non-employee directors.
WESTPORT FUEL SYSTEMS INC. 2024 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR | 18
Section 2: Board of Directors | Mandate and Charter of the Board of Directors
Mandate and Charter of the Board of Directors
Our Board of Directors is responsible for the shareholder stewardship of the Corporation and oversees the management of the organization's business and affairs in accordance with our By-Laws and applicable law. Together with the CEO, CFO and other executive officers ("Executive Management"), the Board of Directors is charged with pursuing the creation of long-term shareholder value.
Each director and executive officer, in exercising his or her powers and discharging his or her duties, is required by law to:
i.act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Corporation; and
ii.exercise the care, diligence, and skill that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances.
Our Board of Directors conducts its business under the guidance of the Board of Directors Charter (the "Charter") a copy of which is attached as Schedule "A" to this Circular. The Charter is reviewed annually and updated as appropriate in accordance with new regulation and governance practices. The Charter also works in conjunction with the charters of the committees of the Board of Directors and with the various position descriptions of Board members, the Board Chair, committee chairs and the CEO. All documents are on our website at investors.wfsinc.com/governance.
Our Board of Directors has several core responsibilities and oversight of specific areas including:
•corporate culture and purpose
•executive leadership and oversight
•corporate and stakeholder communications
•corporate governance
•long-term strategic planning
•annual operating plan and budget
•material financing activities
•material transactions, including acquisitions or divestitures
•risk assessment and internal controls processes
•technology and cybersecurity risk management
The Board will carry out these responsibilities and discharge its obligations either directly or through Board committees. Any responsibility not delegated to one or more of its committees remains with the Board of Directors.

Section 2: Board of Directors | Structure & Composition of the Board & Election of Directors
Structure and Composition of the Board and Election of Directors
Earlier this year, we took proactive steps to achieve cost reductions at the Board level by deciding to reduce the number of directors from nine to eight with Rita Forst's retirement at the end of her term. Also, to better align resources more effectively, in early 2024, the TPS Committee was discontinuedwith the intention of redirecting its functions and attention towards the JV.

The NCG Committee annually reviews the composition of the Board of Directors with consideration of our business strategy, all relevant facts and circumstances, individual director contributions, tenure, risk of over boarding and potential candidates for election as directors. The NCG Committee also has the responsibility to determine the optimum mix of business skills, experience, and diversity of the members of the Board of Directors to effectively fulfill its mission.

The NCG Committee then recommends to the Board a slate of directors for election by Shareholders that brings a diversity of background and industry or related expertise and experience to the Board. Directors are individually nominated and elected annually at Westport Fuel Systems Annual General Meeting of Shareholders. There are no term limits for directors since the directors are subject to an election by Shareholders each year. If a nominated director fails to achieve a majority of votes for their appointment in an uncontested election that nominated director is required to submit his or her resignation to the Board Chair in accordance with Westport Fuel Systems Majority Voting Policy.
Board Leadership
The Board Chair sits at the intersection between the Board of Directors and Executive Management and, although the Board Chair is also a director and shares all the duties and responsibilities of any director, the Board Chair has several unique duties and responsibilities that include:
•presiding at all meetings of the Board of Directors and at Annual General Meetings of Shareholders, or delegate a substitute chair if necessary
•engaging with the chair of each committee to build strong and effective committees and, together with the NCG Committee, develops and oversees an effective annual performance review process to improve the performance of Board members and their committees
•leading special projects or taking on special assignments from the Board of Directors
•ensuring the Board of Directors operates independently from management and, for example, ensuring in camera sessions of the Board, excluding any directors who are also officers or employees, will be held at each meeting of the Board of Directors
The Board Chair is elected annually by the independent directors following the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders.
Board Independence and Effectiveness
Our business is conducted by Executive Management under the oversight of the Board of Directors. We believe an effective Board of Directors has a high degree of independence from management and, while a working culture of trust and collaboration must exist with Executive Management for us to succeed, the Board of Directors must exercise its duties and responsibilities in accordance with its own best judgment and its own views of the long-term interests of the organization and its Shareholders. The Board of Directors have adopted the following organizational principles:

•The Board of Directors must have a majority of independent directors. All directors except Mr. Sceli, who is our CEO, are considered independent within the meaning of National Instrument 58-101 - Corporate Governance Disclosure ("NI 58-101") and the listing rules of the NASDAQ and the TSX;
•The Chair of the Board of Directors, Mr. Hancock, is considered independent within the meaning of NI 58-101 and the listing rules of the NASDAQ and the TSX;
•During 2023, the Board of Directors maintained four standing committees ("Standing Committees") and delegated specific responsibilities to each Committee. Each Committee operates under a charter and has a chair ("Committee Chair") responsible for leadership and overall operation of the Committee. The Standing Committees are the Audit Committee, the HRC Committee, the NCG Committee, and the TPS Committee.
•The Audit Chair, the NCG Chair and the HRC Chair positions are held by independent directors and all members of these Standing Committees are independent directors.

WESTPORT FUEL SYSTEMS INC. 2024 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR | 20
Section 2: Board of Directors | Structure & Composition of the Board & Election of Directors
•The Board frequently reviews the need for new committees and may establish new committees or disband current committees at its discretion according to evolving circumstances, legal and regulatory requirements, as well as best corporate governance practices;
•The Board may form special committees and delegate specific responsibilities to address extraordinary matters;
•At every Board and committee meeting, time is set aside for in camera discussion excluding any directors who are also officers or employees; and
•Where appropriate, executive sessions of only independent directors are held, with these sessions being overseen by the Board Chair.

Certain functions shall be the exclusive responsibility of independent directors, consulting closely with the Board Chair and CEO, who will then bring recommendations to the full Board of Directors for approval. These functions include:

•revising the Board of Director charter from time to time
•developing a position description for the Board Chair, the Chairs of each Committee, and the directors
•developing a position description for the CEO, as well as indicators to measure the CEO's performance

The Board, as well as each Standing Committee, may, in its discretion, and in consultation with the Board Chair, retain the services of independent outside professional advisors (financial, legal, compensation, other), at the expense of the Corporation, for the purpose of advising the Board or a Standing Committee in the execution of its responsibilities and duties.

Board of Directors Skills Matrix
Together with the Chair of the Board of Directors, the NCG Committee determines the expected skill set of new candidates by considering existing Board strengths and the needs of the organization. Directors must have an appropriate mix of skills, knowledge and experience in business and an understanding of the industry and the geographical areas in which we operate. We maintain a critical skills matrix which identifies areas which are necessary for the Board to carry out its mandate effectively - now and in the future. The NCG Committee reviews the matrix annually to confirm it continues to reflect the most relevant skills, experience, and competencies. The skills matrix is also used in determining the appropriate mix of directors on each of the Standing Committees. The following table identifies the skills and experience of our directors as ranked on a scale of one to three by each nominated director and defined below.

Diversity

The Board recognizes that diversity (including gender, as well as members of minority groups, geography, skills, competency and age) enriches the discussion, debate and facilitates a broader exchange of perspectives, which in turn, helps enable innovation, enhance balanced decision making, and improve business performance leading to greater organizational strength. Westport upholds its commitment to diversity through its diversity policy (the "Diversity Policy"), which sets out our commitment to actively considering candidates from diverse backgrounds based on merit, with a focus on gender diversity. The Diversity Policy guides the identification and nomination of diverse directors and executive officers and sets forth expectations aimed at promoting diversity throughout the organization. For more information, please view the Diversity Policy here:

https://s26.q4cdn.com/361830528/files/doc_govs/our_commitment/Diversity-Policy.pdf  

The Board makes director nominee decisions based on merit and remains committed to selecting the best person to fulfil these roles. We recognize that diversity at both the Board and within all levels of management is important to provide the wide range of perspectives, experience and expertise required in building an effective team. We also recognize that gender diversity is a significant aspect of this and acknowledge the significant role that women with appropriate and relevant skills play in contributing to the diversity of the Board and within all levels of management.

Our Board is committed to upholding a gender balanced board as turnover occurs, and consistent with this commitment, the Board has adopted a target of having women represent at least 30% of our Board. This commitment is reflected in both the Charter and in the Diversity Policy. We have 38% representation of women on our Board for nomination (three out of eight Board members are women) with two of the three Standing Committees chairs being women. Our current director nominees represent a well-rounded diversity of skills, knowledge, experience, and perspectives. All of our nominees are seasoned leaders.

Section 2: Board of Directors | Structure & Composition of the Board & Election of Directors

At the executive level, the Corporation has not adopted a target regarding women in executive officer positions. In our hiring practices, we consider candidates for executive officer positions based on merit, with a proactive approach to seeking candidates from diverse backgrounds. As reflected in our Diversity Policy, the Corporation believes that having diversity at the executive officer level, including gender diversity, enhances management effectiveness, and as such diversity is among many factors that the Corporation considers when evaluating the composition of its executive officers. In assessing potential new executive officer candidates, consideration is given to the existing number of women and other diverse candidates in executive officer roles and active measures are being taken to ensure candidate pools are diverse.

Additionally, when using search firms to find executive officer candidates, the Corporation directs them to prioritize diversity, especially by including women candidates. While the Corporation has not set a specific gender target for executive officers, over the last year, among the many changes in our executive team, two women were promoted to vice president roles: Vice President of Investor Relations (reporting to the CEO) and Vice President of Finance and Tax (reporting to the CFO).

The diversity representation on the Board and among executive officers is set out in the following table

The Board and Executive Management continue to review and implement diversity practices to ensure we benefit from the broader range of perspectives and experience made possible by diversity of thought, background, and experience. For more information on diversity throughout the organization, please refer to our ESG Report available on our website at wfsinc.com/sustainability.

Orientation & Continuing Education
Robust onboarding for new directors is critical, as well as ongoing comprehensive education and training for all Board members on key matters and to foster board effectiveness. In addition, all Board members are encouraged to participate in relevant external director education opportunities. The Board recognizes: (1) the importance of fostering an atmosphere of continuous enhancement, long-term value creation, and strengthening shareholder confidence; and (2) that institutional investors and
WESTPORT FUEL SYSTEMS INC. 2024 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR | 24
Section 2: Board of Directors | Position Descriptions
regulators expect directors at public companies to continually enhance their skills and remain up to date of company and industry matters.
Director onboarding involves a combination of written materials, oral presentations, meetings with the Board and management and site visits where possible. Among the topics covered during onboarding are company purpose, history, strategy, financial condition, risks, safety and soundness, ethics, core values, and corporate governance. To help new directors learn more about our business and their oversight roles within the organization, the onboarding process includes meetings with business segments, control and support groups, and visits to facilities as appropriate. This allows directors to better step into their oversight roles and begin making meaningful contributions to the Board more quickly. In-house educational sessions facilitated by management are provided to all directors throughout the year with a focus on topics specific to our business and industry. All new directors must participate in the director orientation program which commences promptly after the appointment of a new director. In addition, the Board of Directors periodically receives advice from outside legal counsel and its auditors regarding changes in the regulations applicable to the organization.
Directors also participate in continuous learning activities as part of our Continuing Education Program overseen by the NCG Committee. Continuing education covers a range of current topics including best practices in corporate governance, latest business and product information, cybersecurity, and data privacy matters, and ESG matters. Sessions are designed to maximize the knowledge and effectiveness of directors throughout their tenure and offer the opportunity to discuss in detail the changing risk environment, impacts on overall business strategy and achievement of our mission. In addition to continuing education topics addressed within a regular board meeting, at least two separate education sessions are scheduled within a year. During 2023 all directors attended the education sessions provided by the Corporation.

Meetings of the Board of Directors
Our Board of Directors meets as needed during the year and a quorum for Board meetings requires a majority of its members to be in attendance. At every meeting, time is set aside for independent directors to meet without management present to discuss any procedural or substantive issues. In 2023/2024, the independent directors met twelve times. The Audit Committee charter requires the committee to meet at least four times per calendar year in conjunction with the review and approval of annual and quarterly financial statements, management's discussion, and analysis ("MD&A") and related filing. From April 6, 2023 to May 7, 2024, the Audit Committee met five times. The HRC Committee, NCG Committee, TPS Committee charters require each committee to meet at least twice annually. From April 6, 2023 to May 7, 2024, the HRC committee met seven times, the NCG committee met three times and the TPS committee met four times. Detailed 2023/2024 attendance by current directors is summarized in each director biography found in "Section 2: Nominees for Election to the Board."

Director Compensation
The compensation structure of the Board of Directors is designed to attract and retain exceptionally talented and experienced directors, leading to our long-term success. This requires our directors to be adequately and competitively compensated. The Board of Directors has determined that directors should be compensated in a form and amount which is customary for comparable corporations, considering time commitment, responsibility, and trends in director compensation. As part of its mandate, the HRC Committee considers the responsibilities and time commitment required to be an effective director, as well as the competitiveness of our program based on relevant market data and the advice of an external compensation consultant. The HRC Committee makes recommendations to the Board based on this data and advice regarding Director compensation.
Director Share Ownership Requirements
The Board encourages directors to obtain a meaningful share ownership interest in Westport Fuel Systems. In 2022 the Board approved an increase to the number of shares required to be held by non-employee directors. Under the share ownership guidelines applicable to all non-employee directors, each director must hold at least five times their annual cash retainer in Common Shares or Units, to be acquired over a five-year period. Due to the increased requirement for share ownership, the five-year acquisition time period was reset for all non-employee directors.

Each of the directors complied with the guidelines regarding share ownership as of December 31, 2023, or is reasonably proceeding with compliance as of the applicable five-year anniversary of his or her initial election to the Board. For further details on director share ownership, please review the individual director biographies in "Section 2: Nominees for Election to the Board."
Director Compensation Schedule
Fixed annual retainers are used to compensate directors rather than a fee per meeting. Non-management directors are paid a base annualized cash board retainer and equity compensation as reflected in the schedule below. Directors are also reimbursed for travel and other reasonable expenses incurred in connection with Board or committee meetings. Share-based awards can be elected in DSUs or RSUs at the discretion of the directors.

Section 2: Board of Directors | Director Compensation
2023 Director Compensation Summary
In early 2020 the HRC Committee engaged our independent compensation consultant, Hugessen Consulting (the "Hugessen"), to review director compensation. With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Committee deferred any implementation of findings and director pay was temporarily reduced for a portion of 2020 before returning to pre-pandemic levels later in the year. In 2021, the HRC Committee launched a refreshed director compensation review with Hugessen which resulted in an increase in the fees paid to the board chair by $30,000 (increase in $15,000 for cash retainer and $15,000 in equivalent value of equity awards). This more closely aligned Director Chair compensation to market practice and that of our peer group and aligned cash versus equity compensation ratios with other directors at large. No changes were made to chair or non-chair director compensation levels in 2023.

The total aggregate compensation, including the date of grant value for all equity awards and all other compensation, earned by the directors during the financial year ended December 31, 2023 was $1,153,264.

Their mandate includes defining the Corporation's cyber resilience framework, identifying and measuring risks, building the business continuity strategy and tactics, disaster recovery plans, capturing key business information security risks beyond IT and reporting any incidents. The head of IT provides regular updates to the Audit Committee with analysis, mitigation strategies and incident reporting being reported to the Board. Additionally, the IT function's cybersecurity team works with local HR and stakeholders in our European locations to ensure compliance with GDPR (General Data Protection Regulations). The team consistently monitors our digital public presence and adjusts and updates our privacy protocols and procedures as necessary to protect our customers' privacy and internal data.In 2023 the task force continued its cybersecurity awareness initiative with a quarterly online training program designed to develop awareness of threats and how to recognize them. Working in concert with an information security partner, the task force has rolled out a full global security operations center with breach detection, prevention, event management and reporting.

The Board receives prompt and timely information from management on any cybersecurity or information security incident that may pose significant risk to our organization and continues to receive regular reports on the incident until its conclusion. In 2023 there were no reported incidents of information or cyber breaches. Also, our Board receives management reports on key developments and incidents across our industry and specific information about peers and vendors.
Cybersecurity governance highlights:
•Cross-functional approach to addressing cybersecurity risk with legal and internal audit group members presenting on key topics
•Global presence with employees and 24/7 cyber threat communications
•Collaborative approach, working with a wide range of key stakeholders to manage risk, and share and respond to intelligence
Environmental and Social Sustainability Oversight
At Westport Fuel Systems, we aspire to create a world where climate change is mitigated, and global air quality contributes to a healthy society making ESG part of the fabric of our business. Assessing environmental and social practices and understanding the potential impact of ESG issues on our operations and business is a critical oversight activity for the Board. The Board undertakes its oversight functions in this area with input from its Standing Committees on matters that fall within their responsibilities and expertise.

As we grow, we are strengthening our ESG governance practices and management processes, advancing our stakeholder engagement practices, and taking steps to engage our customers and supply chain. 2023 marked the third year since the launch of the company's ESG Steering Committee, which is led by our CEO and includes our CFO, executive vice presidents, and vice-presidents from across our businesses, regions, and functions. The 10-member committee oversees ESG management, approves core programs and targets, and works to integrate ESG into the company's goals and processes. The ESG Steering Committee oversees Westport Fuel Systems' ESG Strategy, aligned with our business strategy and informed by external research, materiality assessment outcomes, and ongoing internal and external stakeholder engagement. It focuses our efforts on four key areas across our value chain of climate action, safe, diverse, and inclusive culture, responsible sourcing, and our continued commitment to integrity.

Section 4: Compensation of Executive Officers | Compensation Governance
Executive Summary
Executive Compensation Philosophy
Our compensation philosophy is to pay for performance over the long-term, as well as on an annual basis. Our performance considerations include both financial and non-financial measures-including the way results are achieved-for the Corporation, line of business, and the individual. The "Compensation Governance" section below presents the range of performance and governance considerations the HRC Committee considers as inputs into compensation decisions. These factors are evaluated each year and have remained consistent over time as part of a balanced and disciplined approach to the compensation decision process. Within that framework, key company, and segment performance considerations for 2023 and the "Individual performance highlights", are the key considerations for the performance for each of our NEOs. These considerations reinforce and promote responsible growth and maintain alignment with our executive compensation philosophy. Our executive compensation program provides a mix of salary, incentives, and benefits paid overtime to align executive officer and shareholder interests. Our HRC Committee is responsible for approving our compensation strategy and philosophy and the compensation programs applicable to our named executive officers.
2023 Year End Financial Performance
Revenues of $331.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 increased by 9%, compared to $305.7 million in the prior year primarily driven by increased sales in the delayed OEM, electronics and fuel storage businesses and additional engineering service revenues from the heavy-duty OEM business. This growth is partially offset by the negative impact of the lower CNG sales volumes to customers in the India market, lower independent aftermarket sales volumes in Africa, and lower sales volumes in the hydrogen business.

We reported a net loss of $49.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to a net loss of $32.7 million for the prior year. This change was primarily the result of:

•Sale of our interest in the CWI joint venture including a $19.1 million gain on sale of investment recorded in the 2022 financial results;
•$2.9 million loss on extinguishment of debt due to the settlement of the Cartesian royalty payable;
•increases in research and development expenditure to further invest in our hydrogen and light-duty OEM businesses;
•increases in general and administrative expenses, which included $4.5 million of severance costs as well as consulting costs;
•increases in sales and marketing expenditures supporting hydrogen market activities and the rebranding of digital assets for awareness for global positioning;
•which were partially offset by a $12.7 million increase in gross margin due to higher revenues earned and higher margins on engineering service revenues, where the gross margin included a $7.1 million write down in inventory related to the heavy-duty OEM, light-duty OEM and IAM businesses.

Cash and cash equivalents were $54.9 million as at December 31, 2023. Cash used in operating activities during the year was $13.2 million, due to a net loss of $49.7 million partially offset by improvements in working capital of $9.4 million and $27.1 million of other non-cash adjustments. Investing activities included the purchase of fixed assets of $15.6 million. Cash used in financing activities were attributed to net debt repayments of $2.2 million in the year.

Westport reported negative $21.5 million Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA", see "Non-GAAP Measures" section in the MD&A) during the year ended December 31, 2023, as compared to negative $27.8 million Adjusted EBITDA for the same period in 2022.

Section 4: Compensation of Executive Officers | Compensation Governance
Compensation Governance
The HRC Committee is responsible for administering our executive compensation program which, among other things, includes:
•Determining the compensation for our Executive Management, including base salary, short- and long-term incentive opportunities, performance benchmarking and market analysis
•Reviewing, approving and administering our executive compensation plans, including our equity plans
•Establishing performance objectives under our short- and long-term incentive plans
•Determining the attainment of performance objectives and the resulting awards pursuant to our short-term incentive plan ("STIP") and long-term incentive plan ("LTIP")
•Evaluating CEO performance and the performance and capabilities of Executive Management, based on input from the CEO
•Evaluating executive officer compensation practices to ensure they remain equitable and competitive
•Reviewing succession planning for executive officer positions including the CEO
•Reviewing and approving the mandate and terms of the Compensation Consultant
•Approving employee benefit plans
To provide support and assistance to the governance and oversight of our compensation process, the HRC Committee retains Hugessen Consulting ("Hugessen") as an independent compensation advisor to provide executive and director compensation consulting services. Hugessen is selected and retained by and reports to the HRC Committee and participates in certain HRC Committee meetings where executive compensation matters are discussed. As part of its engagement, Hugessen provides the following services:
•reviews market data and participates in the design of executive compensation programs to help the HRC Committee evaluate the linkage between pay and performance, including selection of peer group companies and market data analysis;
•informs the HRC Committee on market trends, as well as regulatory issues and developments and how they may impact the Corporation's executive compensation programs; and
•reviews and advises the HRC Committee regarding director compensation, including market trends, as well as regulatory issues and developments regarding director compensation.
Proposals from management are reviewed for feedback by Hugessen. Additionally, the HRC Committee and Hugessen will meet without management present to make final decisions or recommendations to the Board. This supports responsible oversight of executive compensation. Recommendations made by the HRC Committee are based on multiple sources including advice received from our Compensation Consultant.
Services provided by Hugessen in 2023 were related to executive and director compensation. No other services were performed by Hugessen and no other fees were paid in 2023. The table below summarizes the fees paid in relation to executive and director compensation consulting services for the past two financial years. Any additional consulting services required by the Compensation Consultant outside of those relating to executive compensation must be pre-approved by the HRC Committee before proceeding.

Section 4: Compensation Of Executive Officers | Executive Compensation and Shareholder Interests
Executive Compensation and Shareholder Interests
Westport Fuel Systems maintains its commitment to building long-term shareholder value by using a balanced performance measurement framework aligned with our key performance metrics and ensuring adherence to general governance best practices. The following table outlines some of the best practices the HRC Committee employs in implementing the compensation program:
What We Do What We Don't Do
•Provide a meaningful part of pay which is "at risk" and contingent upon corporate and individual performance
•Ensure the pay opportunity is capped
•Retain external experts who report directly to the HRC Committee
•Benchmark pay levels and mix to other organizations of comparable size in the same industry and geographic areas
•Ensure the majority of executive long-term compensation vests based on performance
•Ensure the short-term incentive award criteria is well defined, aligned to business strategy and reflects pay for performance
•Mitigate risk by having Anti-Hedging and Clawback policies in place
•Include a "double trigger" in executive employment agreements so that severance payments are due upon a change of control only if employment is also effectively terminated
•Align executive interests with Shareholders' by having equity ownership guidelines
•Provide Shareholders an opportunity to have their say on executive pay decisions through an annual advisory vote
•No offering or repricing of stock options
•No offering of tax gross ups
•No pledging of our Common Shares as collateral for a loan or holding our Common Shares in margin accounts
•No hedging or "short sales" of our shares
•No defined benefit retirement plan or supplemental executive retirement plan
•No excessive executive perquisites
•No issuance of severance above common-law entitlements; instead, efforts are made to keep severance entitlements in line with industry best practice

Compensation Risk Management
Promoting appropriately incented behaviors is an essential part of the compensation setting process. The HRC Committee believes measured risk is necessary for continued growth and innovation, but that risks should be encouraged within parameters that are appropriate for the long-term health and sustainability of the business. Performance relative to incentive targets is regularly reviewed and the HRC Committee is updated periodically to effectively monitor performance and manage inherent risk.

The HRC Committee believes annual STIP bonus plans and LTIP awards granted to Executive Management should tie to business performance goals, including revenue, adjusted EBIT, Operating Cash Flow, and strategic performance objectives. These metrics encourage an ownership mindset in overall business performance, and are subject to a maximum payout cap.

We have implemented a Clawback Policy to ensure that incentive compensation is paid based on accurate financial data. Executives may be required to forfeit or pay back any excess bonus amounts, or equity-based compensation should the Corporation's financial statements be restated because of material non-compliance with any financial reporting requirements under applicable securities laws (other than a restatement due to a change in financial accounting rules).

We have also adopted an Anti-Hedging Policy which prohibits officers, directors, and employees from engaging in hedging against future decreases in the market value of our securities of the Corporation through the purchase of financial instruments designed to hedge or offset such risk.

Additionally, Westport Fuel Systems, as a foreign private issuer, is subject to certain U.S. legislation, including provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act provides that in the event an issuer is required to prepare an accounting restatement as a result of the material non-compliance of the issuer with any financial reporting requirement, the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer of the issuer will be required to reimburse the issuer for certain elements of such executive's compensation. In Westport Fuel Systems' case, the elements include annual bonus and PSUs issued under our omnibus incentive plan (the "Omnibus Plan"). Westport Fuel Systems abides by these laws.
Share Ownership Requirements
Non-employee directors and executive officers are required to meet share ownership guidelines and hold equity in the Corporation to align their interests with those of our shareholders:
•Our non-employee directors are required to hold a minimum of five times their annual cash retainer in Common Shares or Units
•Each of our Executive Management, except for the CEO, is required to hold a minimum of one time of their annual base salary in Common Shares or Units
•The CEO is required to hold a minimum of three times of their annual base salary in Common Shares or Units
41 | WESTPORT FUEL SYSTEMS INC. 2024 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR
Section 4: Compensation Of Executive Officers | Executive Compensation
•Non-employee directors have five years from the later of April 2020 or the date the director joined the Board, as applicable, to accumulate the minimum threshold required under the share ownership guidelines. NEOs (including the CEO) have five years from the date they are appointed an executive officer to accumulate the minimum threshold required under the share ownership guidelines. For NEOs, the ownership threshold is based on the individual's annual base salary of the preceding financial year
The value of the Common Shares or Units owned by each non-employee director and NEO for the purposes of achieving the share ownership guidelines is the greater of: (i) the acquisition cost of any Common Shares and the grant price of any Units; and (ii) the market value of the Common Shares at the time of the determination. As of May 7, 2024, one of the named NEOs at December 31, 2023 complied with Westport Fuel Systems' share ownership guidelines. The below table summarizes each NEO's holdings:
CURRENT NEO SHARE OWNERSHIP AND MINIMUM REQUIREMENT
Name Common Shares Share Units
Total Value of Equity(1)
Share Ownership Requirement(2)
Years Remaining
Bill Larkin 11,816 40,562 $ 320,942 $ 400,000 In Progress
Lance Follett 18,257 23,192 $ 562,885 $ 274,133 Achieved
Bart van Aerle 1,880 11,026 $ 89,631 $ 286,441 In Progress
Notes:
1.The value of the Common Shares or Units owned by each non-employee director and NEO for the purposes of achieving the share ownership guidelines is the greater of: (i) the acquisition cost of any Common Shares and the grant price of any Units; and (ii) the market value of the Common Shares at the time of the determination. In determining each executive's compliance with the share ownership guidelines in the table above, Westport included the value of Common Shares, Restricted Share Units, and 50% of the value of Performance Share Units assuming a target level of performance (1.0x multiplier).
2.Shareholding requirements are calculated for the CEO as three times base salary and for the remaining NEOs at one times base salary.
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
Our executive compensation program is designed to retain, attract, motivate, and reward our executives who advance our strategic, financial and operational objectives and thereby enhance shareholder value. The HRC Committee believes the executive compensation program's underlying philosophy and related policies maintain a robust pay-for-performance alignment which factors in the median levels of both local market and peer compensation data to balance pay mix and level targets of its executives and employees.
Within our global operations, Westport Fuel Systems compensation program is based on the following philosophy:
•Pay for performance- salary, bonus and equity awards are linked to both corporate performance and achievement of goals against an individual's area of responsibility
•Long term incentives - balanced retention and performance-based equity compensation aligned with shareholder value creation
•Competitive total compensation - factors in the median levels of both a defined comparator group of peers' compensation and local market data to balance pay mix and level targets for executives and employees across the geographies in which we operate
Determination of Compensation
As part of the compensation setting process, the HRC Committee establishes the compensation philosophy and evaluates the design and merits of executive compensation programs through comprehensive reviews to ensure the executive compensation and benefit programs align with shareholders' best interests, while considering any risks associated with our compensation policies and practices. The HRC Committee's recommendations are reached primarily by comparison of the remuneration paid by us with the remuneration paid by other comparable public companies to Westport Fuel Systems or companies of similar business lines, geography and complexity of operations and following consultation with Hugessen.

The HRC Committee considers a range of factors in making executive compensation decisions, including but not limited to an individual's performance, benchmarking data, compensation risk considerations (succession and retention), long-term strategic objectives, prior equity-based compensation awards, feedback from Shareholders and other stakeholders and general information relating to executive compensation trends and developments. A key component in such decisions is benchmark analyses conducted by Hugessen, which assists in determining whether our executive compensation program is both reasonable in relation to competitive pay levels and appropriate in supporting business objectives that encourage a positive performance-based culture. Our current philosophy is to target pay at the median of the Comparator Group (defined below) recognizing that pay is often correlated with company size.

WESTPORT FUEL SYSTEMS INC. 2024 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR | 42
Section 4: Compensation of Executive Officers | Compensation Discussion and Analysis
Consistent with prior years, the HRC Committee examines in detail the compensation paid by similar companies that satisfy our selection criteria (the "Comparator Group"). The Comparator Group used for 2023 ("2023 Comparator Group") decisions was comprised of publicly listed companies to give a realistic view of market competitive compensation. The table below outlines the companies which formed the 2023 Comparator Group and includes 12 U.S., 5 European, and 3 Canadian based companies:
Ag Growth International Inc. Motorcar Parts of America, Inc. Standard Motor Products, Inc.
Ballard Power Systems Inc. paragon GmbH & Co. KGaA Stoneridge, Inc.
CECO Environmental Corp. Plug Power Inc. The Gorman-Rupp Company
Clean Energy Fuels Corp. Progress-Werk Oberkirch AG Twin Disc, Incorporated
Commercial Vehicle Group, Inc. Ricardo plc Wajax Corporation
Landi Renzo S.p.A. SHW AG XPEL, Inc.
Lydall, Inc. The Shyft Group Inc.
At the time, the HRC Committee believed this Comparator Group offered a reasonable benchmarking of compensation and was the primary data source used by Westport to determine design (structure and metrics), pay mix, position of base salary, and performance-based incentive programs for executive compensation for FY2023. For determining CEO compensation, only the Comparator Group is used. Additional local regional benchmarks are considered when determining other executive position compensation.

Subsequently, in the fall of 2023 Westport Fuel Systems completed a comprehensive review of the 2023 Comparator Group against selection criteria which included revenue, global scope, EBITDA, Total Enterprise Value ("TEV"), market capitalization, business complexity, industry presence and geography.

As a result, a new Comparator Group was adopted in fall 2023 to ensure a more robust and relevant set of peer data would be used as the basis for compensation program reviews and overall compensation decision making going forward. The table below outlines the 20 companies which form the new Comparator Group and includes 8 U.S., 7 European, 3 United Kingdom and 2 Canadian based companies:

Bulten AB (publ) Ideanomics, Inc. Somero Enterprises, Inc.
Ballar Dewhurst Group Plc Landi Renzo S.p.A. Strattec Security Corporation
FreightCar America, Inc. Luceco plc Tesmec S.p.A.
Gencor Industries, Inc. Manitex International, Inc. Tornado Global Hydrovacs
Glaston Oyj Abp Mincon Group plc Twin Disc, Incorporated
GreenPower Motor Company Mpac Group plc Xos, Inc.
hGears AG PWO AG

The new Comparator Group offers a more reasonable benchmarking of compensation and is the primary data source used by Westport Fuel Systems to determine design (structure and metrics), pay mix, position of base salary, and performance-based incentive programs for executive compensation. For determining CEO compensation, only the Comparator Group is used. Additional local regional benchmarks are considered when determining other executive position compensation.

For more information on the LTIP, please see "Section 4: Elements of our Executive Compensation Program: Long-Term Incentive Plan."

Executive Compensation At Risk
A significant portion of executive pay is "at risk" meaning that it is not a guaranteed payment, and that payment varies with performance. To align with our pay for performance philosophy, a substantial percentage of the executives' total compensation is comprised of short-term and long-term incentives which link directly to corporate performance and to our absolute and relative total shareholder return ("TSR"). The principles described earlier were used to determine base salaries and total direct compensation, and to set the at-risk targets under the short and long-term incentive programs. The following table shows the targeted mix of compensation components and demonstrates the proportion of "at risk" pay for the CEO, CFO and other NEOs relative to total compensation.

Base Salary
Base salary guidelines and salary adjustments for executive officers are designed to recognize market compensation trends, acknowledge competencies and skills of individuals, and match the expected market value of senior executives based on executive experience and qualifications. We typically target median base salary levels of our Comparator Group and factor in local market adjustments for base salary where applicable. Executive officer base salaries remain fixed throughout the year unless a promotion, change in responsibilities, or special circumstances occur.
Short-Term Incentives
The STIP is the primary method for motivating business and individual performance during the financial year and is intended to link pay and performance by providing cash compensation if targeted results are achieved, up to a capped amount of base salary. For 2023, 75% of the value of the bonus was tied to financial targets including revenue growth, adjusted EBIT and Operating Cash Flow. These metrics were selected to align management focus on both our growth and the path to sustainable profitability. The balance, weighted at 25%, was linked to strategic target achievement within the annual operating cycle, designed to award specific achievements which contribute to shareholder value creation over time.

The CEO's performance metrics are approved by the HRC Committee for each annual financial period. The corporate performance metrics for NEOs are set by the CEO and reviewed by the HRC Committee before being recommended to the Board of Directors. Payouts are made after the HRC Committee reviews and approves the calculations of performance against the goals for the year and only after the Audit Committee approves audited fiscal year financial statements.
Long-Term Incentives
The long-term incentives ("LTIs") are established to support retention, facilitate executive stock ownership and reward for multi-year shareholder value creation. LTIs comprise a significant "at-risk" element of total compensation for Executive Management and the design and magnitude of long-term incentives are guided by several factors, including:
•the design must be aligned with shareholder value creation
•the design should be supportive of the Corporation's business goals and strategic plan
•the design must be retentive

45 | WESTPORT FUEL SYSTEMS INC. 2024 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR
Section 4: Compensation of Executive Officers | Elements of our Executive Compensation Program
The HRC Committee analyses market data, 2023 Comparator Group data and assesses recommendations from its Compensation Consultant and information provided by management in determining LTI program design, metrics and targets. A subset of the 2023 Comparator Group ("2023 Subset Comparator Group") comprised of selected North American based companies within the Comparator Group that are listed on a U.S. based stock exchange was also established to support the LTIP which uses a relative Total Shareholder Return ("rTSR") metric to determine performance against which to measure PSU payouts. The Subset Comparator Group is the group used to measure the LTIP rTSR performance. The table below outlines the companies included in the 2023 Subset Comparator Group:

Ballard Power Systems The Gorman-Rupp Co. The Shyft Group, Inc.
CECO Environmental Lydall Inc. Standard Motor Products
Clean Energy Fuels Corp. Motorcar Parts of America, Inc. Stoneridge, Inc.
Commercial Vehicle Group, Inc. Plug Power Inc. Twin Disc, Inc.
XPEL, Inc. Shiloh Industries
CEO recommendations on LTIs are limited to Executive Management and key employees (other than himself). The HRC Committee then approves the grants of LTI awards for the NEOs, other executives, and other key employees. CEO LTI awards are determined by the HRC Committee, with consultation from the Board Chair.

In 2010, Shareholders approved our current Omnibus Plan. The Omnibus Plan was re-approved by Shareholders for an extended term in 2020 and is designed to allow flexibility to the Board of Directors to issue equity-based incentives to align compensation with shareholder interests over the long-term and offer the ability to retain and attract the best talent globally.

Although the Omnibus Plan allows for the use of Options, virtually all grants made over the life of the Omnibus Plan have taken the form of Units which will ultimately convert into Common Shares of the Corporation following vesting. On a limited basis RPSs have been granted where the recipient receives cash compensation instead of Common Shares of the Corporation on vesting and to address differing taxation requirements across the various jurisdictions in which we operate.
Long-Term Incentive Plan
In 2019 the HRC Committee approved the adoption of an LTIP that consists of a combination of: (i) time restricted awards in the form of RSUs or Restricted Phantom Shares (RPSs) that ratably vest over three years; and (ii) performance-based awards in the form of PSUs that are linked to shareholder value creation, subject to a performance-based payout scale and fully at-risk with the potential for zero payout. RPSs are awarded to non-executive employees in operating regions outside North America to simplify the conversion process.

In 2023, the program was primarily designed to grant awards on an annual basis that are weighted 70% performance-based awards and 30% as time restricted awards for senior management, ensuring most of the awards are pay-for-performance and aligning reward with shareholder value creation.

The HRC Committee believes that a three-year ratable vesting for restrictive awards such as RSUs, RPSs and a three-year cliff vesting and performance period for PSUs are appropriate length of time to support retention, motivate executive performance, align with shareholder interest, and are consistent with common market practice and taxation principles. Performance awards only vest and entitle the holder to Common Shares or a cash payout if minimum thresholds are achieved. If the performance metrics are not attained in the three-year performance period, the PSU award will expire and be returned to the pool of awards available for grant under the Omnibus Plan for future grants. In 2020, the HRC Committee adjusted the LTIP grant timing to the first quarter and determined to use the 20-day volume weighted average price as of December 31st going forward as a best estimate of the market price on the date of grant for the annual grant of LTIP awards.
In 2023 the HRC Committee introduced restrictive cash-based awards that ratably vest over three years at the employee level outside of North America.

The following table summarizes the LTI factors and metrics that are used to provide grants under the LTIP:

CEO SHORT-TERM INCENTIVE ACHIEVEMENT
As per the previous CEO's employment agreement, the short-term incentive ("STI") component of the CEO's compensation has a target of 100% of base salary, with potential payout between 0% and 150% of base salary depending on performance against predefined corporate and individual performance targets. As part of Mr. Johnson's mutual separation agreement, the Corporation paid Mr. Johnson $203,333 USD. No other STI payment was made.

Other Named Executive Officer STI
Targeted bonuses for the other NEOs, range from 35% to 75% of base salary, with a potential payout between 0% and 150% of target bonus depending on performance against predefined corporate and individual performance targets. Depending on the NEO's area of responsibility, metrics were established and weighted in alignment with the STI design principles noted above.
The consolidated and business unit financial performance metrics associated with the NEO's STI were based on the 2023 Annual Operating Plans approved by the Board of Directors in December 2022.

Payout amounts for each NEO are listed in full in the "Executive Compensation Figures & Tables" section.

2020 - 2022 and 2021- 2023 Long-Term Incentive Awards
Under the LTIP, the Corporation awarded RSUs, RPSs and PSUs for the three-year retention and performance period of 2020 - 2022 in March 2020 and for the period of 2021 - 2023 in March 2021. A portion of the PSUs which were awarded in March 2020 and March 2021, respectively, were set to become available after December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2023, respectively. This was contingent upon the total shareholder return achieved over the applicable three-year period, calculated using the average share price of Westport Fuel Systems shares on the NASDAQ over the preceding 20 days.

Based on the achievement of the required vesting conditions, 0% of the PSUs awarded for the 2020-2022 period and the 2021-2023 period met the required vesting conditions and, therefore expired and were returned to the equity reserve under the Omnibus Plan.

Payout amounts for each NEO are listed in full in the table "Value Vested or Earned During the Year" in the "Other Plan Awards" section below.

Notes:

1.Annual base salaries for the current NEOs as of December 31, 2023, were $400,000, $400,000, C$370,000, $290,000, and €267,708 for Mr. Guglielmin, Mr. Larkin, Mr. Follett, Mr. Smith Mr. Van Aerle respectively. The table above translates the Canadian and Euro dollar salaries into US dollars at the average exchange rate during the year.
2.The values of the RSUs and PSUs are determined by multiplying the number of RSUs and PSUs awarded by the NASDAQ exchange closing price of the Common Shares on the date of the award. These RSUs and PSUs typically vest over three years and the PSUs vest based on achieving performance criteria within a three-year performance period. The actual compensation earned by the NEO may ultimately be more or less than the amount indicated in this table based on whether the vesting criteria associated with such RSUs and PSUs are ultimately achieved. Historically, less than 100% of the issued share based awards have been vested.
3.This represents Westport Fuel Systems short-term incentive awards. The amounts were accrued in the year reported but paid to the NEOs in the subsequent year. For details on non-equity incentive plan values paid during the fiscal year, see table titled "NEO Incentive Plan Awards: Value Vested/Earned".

3.Annual burn rate is expressed as a percentage and is calculated by dividing the number of securities granted under the specific plan during the applicable financial year by the weighted average number of securities outstanding for the applicable financial year.

In early 2023, the Committee considered the 2023 long term incentive award. The available reserve includes the PSUs issued in 2019 that were returned to the equity reserve under the Omnibus Plan. However, the decline in the stock price during 2022 limits the current value of equity available. With that context, the Committee took steps to balance the need for competitive long-term incentive awards for all LTIP participants with the remaining fixed equity pool.

Employment Agreements: Termination and Change in Control
Each NEO has signed an employment agreement which includes standard industry terms and conditions, such as intellectual property and confidentiality provisions. Pursuant to the terms of these agreements, in the event of termination of employment by Westport Fuel Systems without cause, each NEO may be entitled to an amount comprised of salary and benefits, an annual bonus, an immediate vesting of all unvested Options and Units previously granted to the NEO, and compensation for a non-compete period as further described below.

In the event of termination of any eligible recipient's employment with Westport Fuel Systems without cause, all PSUs granted under the Omnibus Plan for which the measurement period had been completed would immediately vest and the awards would have the period set out in the award grant, and pursuant to the terms of the Omnibus Plan, in which to exercise any such vested but not yet exercised Units.

"Qualifying Termination" for this purpose is defined in the policy to mean either: (a) receipt by a participant of notice of termination of the participant's employment without cause (regardless of the effective date of such termination); or (b) the resignation of the participant's employment as a result of constructive dismissal, in each case during the period commencing on the change in control and ending on the date which is eighteen (18) months after the change in control. The Change in Control Policy generally provides that, in the event of a Qualifying Termination, the executive will be entitled to a cash payment in an amount equal to twice the aggregate sum of: (a) that executive's annual base salary plus the executive's target annual bonus amount; and (b) an amount equal to the annualized cost of the Corporation-sponsored medical, dental, vision insurance and executive medical and health care benefits in effect for the executive as at the termination date at a cost equal to 200% of the Corporation's premium rate for such benefits, together with any accrued but unpaid salary as at the termination date. Pursuant to the Change in Control Policy, all unvested equity awards held by the terminated executive will also be deemed to be vested as at the date of the Qualifying Termination, with any such awards that are subject to any performance targets being subject to a good faith determination as to whether or not the performance target has been met by the HRC Committee and the related payout amount. To the extent that an executive is entitled to benefits under both the Change in Control Policy and the terms of their existing employment agreement, such executive may elect to receive payments and/or benefits under such employment agreement in lieu of the payments or benefits so provided by the Change in Control Policy.

Section 6: Schedules & Attachments
Schedule "A": Board of Directors' Charter
REVIEWED AND ACCEPTED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS ON MARCH 11, 2022
1.0PURPOSE OF THE CHARTER
This Charter has been adopted by the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Westport Fuel Systems Inc. ("WFS") to assist the Board in the exercise of its duties and responsibilities. This Charter, together with the Charters of the Board's committees, key position descriptions, major policies, and codes and guidelines adopted by the Board, and WFS's By-Laws and Articles, collectively comprise WFS's overall corporate governance framework.
2.0BOARD MISSION AND RESPONSIBILITIES
The Board is responsible for the overall stewardship of WFS and is charged with overseeing the management of the business and affairs of WFS pursuant to its By-Laws and applicable law and, together with Executive Management, pursuing the creation of long-term shareholder value. The Board serves as the ultimate decision-making body of WFS, except for those matters reserved to or shared with the shareholders.
The Board will carry out these responsibilities and discharge its obligations either directly or through committees of the Board. Any responsibility not delegated to one or more of its committees remains with the Board.
3.0DEFINITIONS
Where used in this Charter, the following terms have the following meanings:
"Executive Management" means the CEO, the CFO and other executive officers of WFS.
"External Auditor" means the independent, registered, external audit firm nominated for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or related work or performing other audit, review or attest services for WFS.
"Independent Director" means a Director who meets the independence standards specified under Section 1.4 of National Instrument 52-110 of the Canadian Securities Administrators and Rule 5605(a)(2) of the NASDAQ Stock Market Listing Rules. In short, a Director will not be independent if he or she has any direct or indirect "material relationship" with WFS or any of its subsidiaries (other than his or her relationship as a Director).
4.0COMPOSITION OF THE BOARD
The Board will consist of a minimum of five and a maximum of ten members (each, a "Director"), with the actual number decided by the Board from time to time consistent with the needs of WFS in order to effectively perform the duties of the Board. At least the majority of the Board will consist of Independent Directors.
Directors are elected at the annual meeting of shareholders and serve a one-year term. The Independent Directors will elect the Board Chair ("Board Chair") from among the Independent Directors serving on the Board annually at the first meeting of the Directors after the annual meeting of shareholders.
As at the date hereof, the Board has formed four standing committees (the "Committees") and delegated specific responsibilities to each Committee. Those Committees are: Audit, Human Resources and Compensation ("HRC"), Nominating and Corporate Governance ("NCG"), and Technical and Product Strategy Committee ("TPS"). Each Committee operates under its own Charter (a copy of which is available on WFS's website), and has a chairperson ("Committee Chair") responsible for leadership and overall operation of their respective Committee. There is an independent position description for the role of Committee Chair (a copy of which is also available on WFS's website).
All members of these Committees will be Independent Directors, and the Independent Directors will select the respective Committee Chairs, for an annual term starting at the first meeting of the Directors after the annual meeting of shareholders.
New committees of the Board may be established from time to time at the discretion of the Board in accordance with Section 22.
5.0NOMINATION AND ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
The NCG Committee, with input from all Directors, will work together to determine the optimum size of the Board and the appropriate mix of business skills, experience, and diversity of the members of the Board in order to effectively fulfill its mission.
Prospective Directors must have a demonstrated commitment to high personal and professional integrity and ethical standards and a broad range of skills, expertise and experience that are relevant to WFS's business and/or its risk management,
55 | WESTPORT FUEL SYSTEMS INC. 2024 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR
Section 6: Schedules & Attachments | Schedule A: Board of Directors' Charter
significant achievement in their respective fields of endeavor, sound business judgment, the ability to effectively collaborate and communicate with other Directors and with management, and be committed to devoting the time and effort needed to perform their duties effectively. The Board also recognizes that diverse views and backgrounds will enhance balanced decision making. To that end, the Board has assumed a focused on sustaining a more gender-balanced board and has adopted a target of having at least 30% female representation on the Board.
The NCG Committee will annually review Board composition and requirements with consideration of any stated diversity targets, WFS's strategy and all relevant facts and circumstances, individual Director contributions and potential candidates for election as WFS Directors, and recommend to the Board a slate of Directors for election by shareholders that brings a diversity of background and industry or related expertise and experience to the Board. In assessing Board composition and identifying suitable candidates, the NCG Committee will review the current composition of the Board with a view to ensuring it reflects a diverse mix of knowledge, experience, education, skills, gender, age, ethnicity and geographic location, and in an effort to achieve any stated diversity targets. In support of this activity, the NCG Committee has implemented the WFS Diversity Policy.
If a nominated Director fails to achieve a majority of votes for their appointment in an uncontested election, that nominated Director will immediately submit his or her resignation to the Board Chair in accordance with WFS's Majority Voting Policy (a copy of which is available on WFS's website). Following receipt of a resignation tendered pursuant to WFS's Majority Voting Policy, the Board Chair shall promptly advise the NCG Committee and the Board thereof and the resignation shall be considered in accordance with the Majority Voting Policy.
6.0BOARD INDEPENDENCE AND EFFECTIVENESS
The business of WFS is conducted by Executive Management under the oversight of the Board. WFS believes an effective Board means a Board that maintains a clear distinction between Board oversight functions and the responsibilities and duties of Executive Management. Although a working culture of trust and collaboration must exist between the Board and Executive Management in order for WFS to succeed, the Board must exercise its duties and responsibilities in accordance with its own best judgment and its own views of the long-term interests of WFS and its shareholders. This means that individual Directors must be technically independent as defined by applicable law and the regulations of the relevant stock exchanges where WFS shares are listed (except for any non-Independent Directors) but also independent in practice.
In addition, a Director must act strictly in the best interests of WFS and its shareholders generally and not in the interest of any one shareholder or group of shareholders.
To that end, the Board has adopted several organizational principles:
•At least the majority of the Board will consist of Independent Directors.
•The Audit Committee Chair, the HRC Committee Chair and the NCG Committee Chair will only be held by Independent Directors and all members of these committees will be Independent Directors.
•Executive sessions of the Board excluding any Directors who are also officers or employees of WFS will be held at each meeting of the Board. These sessions will be led by the Board Chair.
•Where appropriate, executive sessions of only the Independent Directors will be held. These sessions will be led by the Board Chair.
Certain functions shall be the exclusive responsibility of Independent Directors, led by the Board Chair, who will, if necessary, consult with appropriate stakeholders and then bring recommendations to the full Board for approval. These functions include:
a.Revising the Charter of the Board from time to time;
b.Developing position descriptions for the key positions in the WFS governance system, including that for Chair, Committee Chairs and Directors; and
c.Developing a position description for the Chief Executive Officer, as well as indicators to measure his or her performance.
The Board, as well as each Committee, may, in their discretion, and in consultation with the Board Chair, retain the services of independent outside professional advisors (financial, legal, compensation, etc.), at the expense of WFS, for the purpose of advising the Board or a Committee in the execution of its responsibilities and duties.
7.0BOARD LEADERSHIP
The Board Chair sits at the intersection between the Board and Executive Management and although the Board Chair is also a Director and shares all of the duties and responsibilities of any Director, the Board Chair has several unique duties and responsibilities:
•They will establish an annual calendar with the Board and Committee meetings scheduled at least 12 months in advance. Other Board meetings will be scheduled by the Board Chair with reasonable notice to all Directors.
•They will ensure that preliminary agenda and meeting materials are distributed to all Directors in advance of each Board meeting.
•They will preside at all meetings of the Board and at meetings of shareholders, or delegate a substitute chair if necessary.
•They will act as the Board's contact and spokesperson in discussions with third parties.
WESTPORT FUEL SYSTEMS INC. 2024 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR | 56

•Generally the Board believes that Executive Management has the primary responsibility for shareholder engagement, however where appropriate, he or she will lead shareholder engagement on behalf of the Board. The NCG Committee has primary responsibility for oversight of WFS's process and procedures for shareholder engagement.
•They are responsible for assessing the overall effectiveness of the Board and each of its committees and taking appropriate action to improve Board performance.
8.0ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITY OF THE BOARD, DECISIONS OF THE BOARD
As part of its overall stewardship of WFS, the Board oversees the conduct of WFS's business by management and reviews WFS's financial objectives, strategic plans and activities. The Directors shall exercise their business judgment to act in what they reasonably believe to be the best interests of WFS and its shareholders in terms of corporate governance, fiduciary responsibilities, compliance with applicable law, and maintenance of appropriate financial or other controls.
Typically, matters before the Board will be decided by a majority vote of the Directors present at the meeting, provided that minimum quorum is met. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, the approval of any annual capital and operating budget(s) shall require the approval of not less than two-thirds of the members of the Board.
The Board has responsibility for the following matters:
a)Executive Leadership and Oversight: the Independent Directors have the authority to select, appoint, and, if necessary, terminate the CEO. Such a decision will be made by majority vote of the Independent Directors. Implicit in this responsibility is the duty to regularly assess CEO performance and without interfering in operational matters belonging properly to Executive Management, to take whatever actions required and appropriate to ensure that WFS is being led by people of integrity, honesty, acumen and good judgment, who are in turn fostering a culture of ethical business conduct throughout WFS. The Independent Directors have responsibility for producing an annual CEO performance assessment and this is delivered by the Chair of the HRC Committee to the CEO. The HRC Committee, working with the Board Chair, has primary responsibility for CEO and Executive Management succession planning and makes recommendations to the Board in this regard for discussion and final approval. The Board reviews Executive Management's succession plans on an annual basis.
b)Corporate Communications: the Board shall satisfy itself that WFS maintains appropriate programs and policies regarding corporate disclosure and will have oversight over WFS's programs and policies to effectively communicate with its stakeholders.

9.0DUTIES OF DIRECTORS
The fundamental responsibility of the Directors is to promote the long-term best interests of WFS and its shareholders generally, and to explicitly not have a duty to individual shareholders, employees, creditors, or other stakeholders except in exceptional circumstances and with full transparency and disclosure.
All Directors have both fiduciary and statutory duties and responsibilities defined by law and by good governance practices. Each Director of WFS, in exercising his or her powers and discharging his or her duties, is required by law to: (i) act honestly and in good faith with a view to the long-term best interests of WFS; and (ii) exercise the care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances. This Charter is by no means an exhaustive list of such duties and responsibilities.
Fiduciary duties are those that arise from the nature of the relationship of trust and confidence between Directors, WFS and its shareholders. The term "fiduciary" implies integrity and undivided loyalty. For example, Directors must avoid conflicts of interest and even the appearance of a conflict of interest. Directors must maintain strict confidentiality about all WFS matters. Decisions must be made in good faith and with the long-term interests of WFS and its shareholders in mind.
In order to effectively fulfill their duties, all Directors need to satisfy themselves that they have sufficient information to enable them to make knowledgeable decisions on all matters coming before the Board. It is the responsibility of each Director to ask such questions as may be necessary to reach an informed decision. Directors should be familiar at all times with the complex business and affairs of WFS and have a solid understanding of the strategic plan and the financial condition of WFS.
Directors are entitled to rely in good faith on the financial statements of WFS which are represented to them by an officer of WFS or in a written report of the External Auditor of WFS as fairly reflecting the financial condition of WFS, and on opinions or reports of independent professional advisors.
In order to fulfill their fiduciary duties to WFS and its shareholders, each Director must devote sufficient time and energy to preparation for and attendance at meetings of the Board and committees on which they serve and should: (i) prepare for and strive to attend all meetings of the Board and committees on which they serve, but in any event no less than 80% of such meetings; (ii) be sufficiently informed about the current and proposed activities of WFS; (iii) review the minutes of any meeting not attended as well as any resolutions passed or actions taken; (iv) review the minutes of the previous meeting of the Board and committees on which they serve to determine that they accurately represent the discussions that took place and the resolutions that were passed; and (v) be especially attentive to specific aspects of WFS's activities according to their own experience and occupation.

10.0CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
A Director who is a party to a material contract or proposed material contract with WFS, or who is a director or officer of or has a material interest in any person who is a party to a material contract or proposed material contract with WFS, must disclose this interest in writing to the Board Chair at or before any meeting of the Board where this issue is considered by the other Directors. The nature and intent of this conflicting interest will be noted in the minutes of the meeting.
If the Director acquires an interest after a contract is made, he or she must disclose their interest at the first meeting of the Board after they became so interested. If a person who has an interest in a contract later becomes a Director of WFS, they must disclose their interest at the first meeting of the Board after they became a Director.
Where a proposed contract is addressed by a written resolution signed by all Directors in lieu of a meeting of the Board, the disclosure must be made immediately upon receipt of the resolution or, if the Director had no interest at the time of receipt of the resolution, at the first meeting of the Board after he or she acquired the interest.
A Director who discloses a conflict of interest must refrain from taking part in any discussions or voting on any resolution to approve the contract.
If a significant and persistent conflict exists which cannot be resolved, the Director should immediately submit his or her resignation to the Board Chair for consideration by the Board.
Directors of WFS have an obligation to maintain the confidentiality of all matters discussed at meetings of the Board unless:
a)It was clearly understood at the Board meeting that the information was not required to be kept in confidence;
b)The Director was required or authorized by law to disclose the information (and then only following having used all reasonable efforts to have given sufficient advance notice of such disclosure to allow WFS to seek a protective order);
c)The Director was authorized expressly or implicitly by the Board to make disclosure of the information; or
d)The information was previously disclosed publicly by a party that was not under a duty of confidentiality with respect to such disclosed information.
Directors must not misuse their position or make improper use of information acquired by virtue of their position to gain, directly or indirectly, an advantage for themselves or any other person or to cause detriment to WFS.
11.0 CORPORATE OPPORTUNITY
Directors are precluded from obtaining for themselves or diverting to another person or corporation with whom or with which they are associated, without the approval of the Board, any property or business advantage either belonging to WFS, for which it has been negotiating, or which is otherwise in line with the general business pursuits of WFS.
Each Director is also precluded from so acting even after their resignation where the resignation may fairly be said to have been prompted or influenced by a wish to acquire for themselves the opportunity sought by WFS, or where it was their position with WFS that led to the opportunity.
A Director may not use his or her position as a Director to make a profit on any transaction even if it was not open to WFS to participate in the transaction.
12.0 SECURITIES TRADING AND INSIDER REPORTING
Directors are insiders of WFS and, as such, must not use any material information to trade in securities or to assist others to trade in securities before the information is available to the public. Directors are required to comply with WFS's Trading Policy (including the blackout periods and any required clearances for trading instituted under that policy) and all applicable laws.
13.0 ACCESS TO MANAGEMENT
Directors will gain regular exposure to members of Executive Management at both formal Board meetings and in more informal settings such as Board dinners and strategic retreats. Any Director may, should they desire, consult with any member of management on an as-needed basis if they deem such a meeting or conversation necessary in carrying out their responsibilities and duties as Directors. Without restricting this right in any way, Directors will ensure that they will maintain the clear distinction between Board oversight functions and the responsibilities and duties of Executive Management and as such will not interfere with or usurp management responsibility and authority.
14.0 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Board has a duty to approve the annual financial statements of WFS and to submit the financial statements of WFS for the preceding year, together with the External Auditors' report thereon, to the shareholders at the annual general meeting of the shareholders of WFS.
The Board has delegated to the Audit Committee the primary responsibility to review and approve the quarterly financial statements and management discussion and analysis of WFS. The Audit Committee additionally has the primary responsibility
59 | WESTPORT FUEL SYSTEMS INC. 2024 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR
Section 6: Schedules & Attachments | Schedule A: Board of Directors' Charter
to review and to recommend for Board approval the annual financial statements and management discussion and analysis of WFS. The Audit Committee is responsible for satisfying itself that management has developed and implemented appropriate programs and policies to provide assurance that all financial disclosures are in compliance with applicable regulatory requirements, provided that the Board as a whole shall in all cases approve the annual financial statements of WFS.
15.0 SHAREHOLDER MEETINGS
The Board is required to call the annual general meeting of the shareholders within the periods required by applicable law and the applicable rules of the TSX and NASDAQ stock exchanges and may, at any time, call a special meeting of shareholders. The Board has a duty to call a special meeting of the shareholders to approve any matter that requires the approval of shareholders by special resolution.
16.0 DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
The HRC Committee shall recommend for discussion and Board approval levels and forms of compensation for Directors, and shall work to ensure that such compensation realistically reflects the responsibilities and risk in being an effective WFS Director. In establishing such recommendation the HRC Committee will consider the following objectives:
•Directors should be competitively compensated in relation to Directors of companies of similar size, complexity, geographic scope and other relevant measures;
•Director compensation should align the interests of non-employee Directors with those of WFS shareholders by including a long term equity component, noting that the Board has adopted a compensation policy that excludes stock options for Directors; and
•Compensation should recognize the extra work and responsibility taken on by Board Chair, Committee Chairs and members of committees.
Notwithstanding any of the above, Directors who are also members of management or who are otherwise compensated by WFS will not receive additional compensation for serving on the Board in any capacity.
WFS will reimburse Directors for all reasonable expenses incurred in attending meetings or otherwise acting on WFS business, pursuant to WFS's Expense Reimbursement Policy.
17.0 DIRECTORS' SHAREHOLDINGS
In an effort to better align the interests of the Director with the common shareholders of WFS, each non-employee Director is required to hold a minimum of the number of WFS shares, or equity compensation grants exercisable for a number of shares, having a value equivalent to five times their cash annual retainer as of the date the Director was initially elected to the Board. New Directors will have a five year grace period in order to meet this expectation. Once the established minimum standard has been met, so long as the Director holds that number of shares or awards exercisable for such number of shares, there is no obligation to "top up" if the value of that position falls below five times the annual cash retainer.
18.0LOANS AND OTHER FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS WITH DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT
WFS shall be prohibited from making any loans to any of its Directors or Executive Management. For clarity, this prohibition is not meant to cover incidental instances where a Director or Executive Management may be in a position requiring repayment of expenses or taxes in the normal course of business, or employee payroll deductions.
WFS has adopted an Anti-Hedging Policy that prohibits Executive Management and Directors from personally trading in WFS derivatives including hedging and monetization schemes involving WFS shares. Directors shall comply at all times with WFS's Anti-Hedging Policy.

21.0 DIRECTOR ORIENTATION
The NCG Committee shall oversee a director orientation program developed by Executive Management to familiarize new WFS Directors with the role of the Board and its committees and WFS's Strategic Plan, financial condition, core values including ethics, corporate governance practices, and other key policies and practices through a review of background material, meetings with management, and visits to facilities as appropriate. All new WFS Directors must participate in the director orientation program, which shall generally commence promptly after the meeting at which the new WFS Director is elected. The Board Chair or NCG Committee Chair shall participate in the director orientation.
The Board also recognizes the importance of continuing education for its Directors and is committed to promoting such education in order to improve both Board and Committee performance in the exercise of their responsibilities, and has delegated primary responsibility for this to the NCG Committee. The NCG Committee shall make recommendations to the WFS Directors about their continuing education on subjects that would assist them in the exercise of their responsibilities. Continuing education may be provided in a variety of different forms, including through external or internal education programs as appropriate.
22.0 COMMITTEES
From time to time, the Board may establish new committees or disband a current committee in light of evolving circumstances and legal and regulatory requirements and with consideration having been given to best corporate governance practices. These committees will report directly to the Board regarding committee activities, issues and related recommendations.
The NCG Committee, working with the Board Chair, is responsible for recommending the assignment of Directors to the various committees, giving consideration to committee composition and requirements. Generally, the Board at its first meeting after the annual meeting of shareholders appoints the members of each Committee. The Board shall give consideration to the periodic rotation of committee membership as well as of the respective committee chairs (as part of the annual committee and chair appointment process or at such other times as the Board Chair sees fit).
Each committee will perform an annual evaluation of its performance, including a review of its compliance with its committee charter as applicable, and the results of the committee's review shall be presented to the Board. The purpose of such review is to increase the overall effectiveness of the committee. On an annual basis, each of the standing Committees shall review its Charter and present any recommended modifications to the Board for approval.
The NCG Committee, working with the Board Chair, performs an annual evaluation and review of the performance of the Board, its committees, and the Board Chair. The results of the evaluation and recommended improvements shall be presented to the Board.
