2025 Highlights1
2025 was another record year for the business.
Firmwide, we delivered all-time highs in earnings, capital raising, deployment and realizations. During the year, we raised $112 billion
of capital across more than 50 funds, highlighting the breadth of our investment platform and the strength of investor demand spanning
strategies and geographies.
Fundraising activity was broad-based across infrastructure,
renewable power and transition, private equity, real estate and credit, and was supported by continued expansion of our relationships
with institutional investors, sovereign wealth funds, insurance channels and private wealth clients globally. Importantly, 90% of fundraising
came from our complementary strategies, underscoring the scale and diversification of our product offering and the increasing importance
of complementary strategies.
We continued to deploy capital at scale, investing
$66 billion throughout our platform during the year. These investments were concentrated in sectors where we see strong long-term demand
and where our operating expertise and global sourcing capabilities provide a competitive advantage.
As a result of our capital raising and deployment
activity, fee-bearing capital grew to $603 billion, representing a 12% increase year-over-year. This growth translated directly into strong
financial results. For the year, fee-related earnings increased by 22% to $3.0 billion and distributable earnings grew by 14% to $2.7
billion. These record results reflect both the scale of our capital base and the diversification of our business across multiple asset
classes and strategies.
Overall, the strong performance reflects the quality
of our global platform, the depth of our investment capabilities, and the long-term partnerships we have built with investors around the
world.
Strategic Initiatives
Throughout 2025, we executed several important
initiatives to expand our platform, deepen our capabilities across key investment strategies and position the firm to capture growing
opportunities throughout the global economy.
This includes our announced acquisition of the
remaining stake in Oaktree, further strengthening our partnership with one of the world’s leading alternative credit managers. Full ownership
upon closing will enable us to better deliver the firm’s capabilities to clients, and enhance collaboration across our investment teams,
product development teams and sales teams.
In addition, Brookfield Wealth Solutions announced
the acquisition of Just Group, a leading provider of retirement income products in the United Kingdom. The transaction is expected to
close in the first half of 2026 and is subject to customary closing conditions including regulatory approvals. Upon closing of the transaction,
BAM will become the investment manager for a significant portion of the Just Group portfolio. We will begin earning investment management
fees through these investment management agreements, with additional fees expected over time as capital is deployed into Brookfield strategies.
We also completed the acquisition of a majority
interest in a specialty mortgage credit manager and a consumer credit solutions business, as well as increased our ownership stake in
other partner managers focused on consumer credit solutions.
1 We
disclose a number of financial measures in this Circular that are calculated and presented using methodologies other than in accordance
with U.S. GAAP, as well as certain forward-looking information and forward-looking statements in accordance with U.S. and Canadian securities
laws, as applicable. See the “Cautionary Statement Regarding the Use of Non-GAAP Measures and Forward-Looking Statements” on
page 65 of this Circular.
Taken
together, these initiatives will contribute approximately $200 million of annualized fee-related earnings, adding further scale and diversification
to our earnings base.
Another important initiative during the year was
the continued development of our AI infrastructure program. We are supporting this effort through a $100 billion global program focused
on building the data centers, compute capacity and power generation required to support the rapid adoption of artificial intelligence.
As part of this effort, we launched our artificial intelligence infrastructure fund, targeting $10 billion, which is expected to be the
largest fund of its kind. The fund has already secured $5 billion of commitments, including from strategic limited partners, NVIDIA and
the Kuwait Investment Authority.
We also announced an $80 billion strategic partnership
between Westinghouse and the U.S. government to support the deployment of new nuclear power capacity in the United States. As electricity
demand rises alongside the growth of AI and digital infrastructure, nuclear power will play a critical role in providing reliable, low-carbon
baseload generation.
We continue to actively manage our balance sheet
and capital structure. During the year, we completed three public debt offerings totaling $2.5 billion, strengthening our liquidity position.
These initiatives enhance our platform and position us to continue scaling the business globally in the years ahead.
Current Market Environment
More recently, increased macroeconomic uncertainty
and volatility across the alternative asset management sector have underscored the importance of the resilience and durability of our
earnings base and the strength of our businesses.
Today, virtually all of our distributable earnings
are fee-related—the most stable and predictable form of earnings in our industry. More than 95% of these revenues are generated
from capital we manage on a long-term or perpetual basis, providing exceptional visibility into future earnings. This durability is reinforced
by the breadth of our platform across asset classes, products, clients and geographies. By ensuring that no single business dominates
our earnings base, we benefit from diversification across market environments and can continue to grow through economic cycles while investing
behind sectors experiencing strong structural tailwinds.
Importantly, our investment strategy differs meaningfully
from many other managers. Our focus is and has always been on the real assets and essential service businesses that form the backbone
of the global economy. These assets generate stable cash flows, provide inflation protection and offer downside resilience—characteristics
that continue to attract growing allocations from investors globally.
As a result, we have limited exposure to some
of the areas that have raised concerns within the broader alternatives sector, such as traditional software businesses. Our private equity
and credit portfolios have minimal exposure to software, reflecting our long-standing focus on asset-based investing. And should market
dislocation increase, our Oaktree business—one of the world’s most experienced opportunistic credit investors—is well positioned
to capitalize on the opportunity. With significant available liquidity and the ability to deploy capital quickly and at scale, Oaktree
has historically generated some of its strongest returns during periods of market dislocation.
At the same time, we have deliberately positioned
the firm to benefit from the increasing adoption of artificial intelligence. The build-out of AI infrastructure is emerging as one of
the largest investment cycles in history, driving unprecedented demand for power, data centers and compute infrastructure.
This is not only a significant investment opportunity
but also a major area of client demand. Investors globally are seeking exposure to the infrastructure supporting AI adoption through strategies
like our recently launched AI Infrastructure fund. Given our scale and leadership positions across the sectors in which we invest, and
the connectivity across the broader Brookfield ecosystem spanning infrastructure, energy, private equity, real estate and credit, we are
uniquely positioned to support this next phase of global infrastructure build out.
This combination of resilient earnings, disciplined
investing and exposure to powerful structural growth trends positions us well to continue generating strong growth and attractive returns
for shareholders in the years ahead.
Outlook for 2026
Looking ahead, we expect 2026 to be another record
year for Brookfield. We have strong fundraising momentum, with several key flagship strategies coming to market, including our flagship
infrastructure and private equity funds, both of which we expect will represent the largest vintages we have raised to date. These funds
are supported by continued growth across our complementary strategies, which are expanding our reach to a broader and increasingly diversified
investor base. We are also seeing increasing momentum in the wealth channel, with six private wealth funds now in the market and a growing
presence that is further diversifying our capital base and enhancing fundraising durability.
Together with the continued growth of our fee-bearing
capital base, these drivers reinforce our confidence in the long-term earnings growth of the business. Reflecting these supportive tailwinds
and our strong growth outlook for 2026 and beyond, our Board of Directors approved a 15% increase in our dividend, representing $2.01
per share on an annualized basis.
We remain focused on executing our long-term strategy,
compounding capital for our investors, and continuing to build one of the world’s leading alternative asset management platforms.
Shareholders’ Meeting
Please take time to read our Circular and determine
how you will vote your shares. Your participation in our annual and special meeting of shareholders is important to us and we encourage
your engagement in this important process.
On behalf of the Board, I express our appreciation
for your continued faith in us. We look forward to having you join us on May 7th.
Yours truly,
“Bruce Flatt”

PART ONE - VOTING INFORMATION
This Management Information Circular (“Circular”)
is provided in connection with the solicitation by management of Brookfield Asset Management Ltd. (“BAM”) of proxies for

of Shareholders and Availability of Investor Materials dated March 23, 2026 (the “Notice”) to be held in-person at Brookfield
Place, 225 Liberty Street, 10th Floor, New York, NY on Thursday, May 7, 2026 at 2:30 p.m. (New York time). The meeting will
also be broadcast live by webcast. See “Q&A on Voting” on page 2 of this Circular for further information. References
in this Circular to “BAM”, “we,” or “our” are to Brookfield Asset Management Ltd., and references to “BN”
are to Brookfield Corporation.
This solicitation will be made primarily by sending
proxy materials to shareholders by mail and email, and in relation to the delivery of this Circular, by posting this Circular on our website
at https://bam.brookfield.com under “News and Events—Events and Financial Calendar”,
on our EDGAR profile at www.sec.gov/edgar and on our SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca
pursuant to Notice and Access. See “Notice and Access” below for further information. Proxies may also be solicited personally
or by telephone by regular employees of BAM at nominal cost. The cost of solicitation will be borne by BAM.
The information in this Circular is given as at
March 10, 2026, unless otherwise indicated. As BAM operates in U.S. dollars and reports its financial results in U.S. dollars, all
financial information in this Circular is denominated in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise indicated. All references to C$ are to Canadian
dollars. For comparability, all Canadian dollar amounts in this Circular have been converted to U.S. dollars at the average exchange rate
for 2025 as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (“Bloomberg”) of C$1.00 = US$0.7159, unless otherwise indicated.
Who Can Vote
As at March 10, 2026, BAM had 1,638,167,514
Class A Limited Voting Shares (“Class A Shares”) and 21,280 Class B Limited Voting Shares (“Class B
Shares”) outstanding. The Class A Shares are co-listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) and the Toronto Stock
Exchange (“TSX”) under the symbol “BAM”. The Class B Shares are all privately held (see “Principal Holders
of Voting Shares” on page 6 of this Circular for further information). Each registered holder of record of Class A Shares
and Class B Shares as at the close of business on March 10, 2026 (the “Record Date”) is entitled to receive notice
of and to vote at the meeting. Except as otherwise provided in this Circular, each holder of a Class A Share or Class B Share
on such date shall be entitled to vote on all matters to come before the meeting or any adjournment thereof, either in person or by proxy.
The share conditions for the Class A Shares
and Class B Shares provide that, subject to applicable law and in addition to any other required shareholder approvals, all matters
to be approved by shareholders (other than the election of directors) must be approved by a majority of the votes cast by the holders
of Class A Shares and by the holders of Class B Shares who vote in respect of the resolution, each voting as a separate class.
Except as provided below, holders of Class A
Shares are entitled, as a class, to elect one-half of the board of directors of BAM (the “Board” or “Board of Directors”),
and holders of Class B Shares are entitled, as a class, to elect the other one-half of the Board. However, at any time that:
a. BN (or its successor) and its subsidiaries beneficially own a number of Class A Shares that exceeds
50% of the aggregate number of all the issued and outstanding Class A Shares and Class B Shares as of the record date for any
meeting of shareholders, holders of Class A Shares and holders of Class B Shares will vote together as a single class in the
election of the Board at such meeting of shareholders; or
b. BN (or its successor) and its subsidiaries beneficially own a number of Class A Shares that is not
less than 20% but does not exceed 50% of the sum of all the issued and outstanding Class A Shares and Class B Shares as of the
record date for any meeting of shareholders:
i. BN (or its successor) will be entitled to elect one of the directors who would otherwise be elected by other holders of the Class A
Shares at such meeting of shareholders;
ii. holders of Class A Shares, including BN (or its successor) solely in respect of any Class A
Shares that it and its subsidiaries beneficially own in number that exceeds 20% of the sum of all the issued and
2026 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR/ 1
outstanding
Class A Shares and Class B Shares, will be entitled to elect one-half of the Board less such number of directors to be elected
by BN (or its successor) under (i) above at such meeting of shareholders; and
iii. holders of Class B Shares will be entitled to elect the other one-half of the Board at such meeting
of shareholders.
As at March 10, 2026, BN and its subsidiaries
beneficially own approximately 69% of the Class A Shares and, accordingly, the holders of the Class A Shares and holders of
the Class B Shares will vote together as a single class to elect the Board. See “Election of Directors” on page 7
of this Circular for further information.
Notice and Access
BAM is using the Notice and Access provisions
of National Instrument 54-101 — Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer and National Instrument
51-102 — Continuous Disclosure Obligations (“Notice and Access”) to provide meeting materials electronically for
both registered and non-registered shareholders. Instead of mailing meeting materials to shareholders, BAM has posted this Circular and
form of proxy on its website at https:// bam.brookfield.com under “News and Events—Events
and Financial Calendar”, in addition to posting it on EDGAR at www.sec.gov/edgar and SEDAR+
at www.sedarplus.ca. BAM has sent the Notice and a form of proxy or voting instruction
form (collectively, the “Notice Package”) to all shareholders informing them that this Circular is available online and explaining
how this Circular may be accessed. BAM will not directly send the Notice Package to non-registered shareholders. Instead, BAM will pay
Intermediaries (as defined on page 3 of this Circular) to forward the Notice Package to all non-registered shareholders.
BAM has elected to utilize Notice and Access because
it allows for a reduction in the use of printed paper materials, and is therefore consistent with BAM’s philosophy towards sustainability.
Additionally, adopting Notice and Access has significantly lowered printing and mailing costs associated with BAM’s shareholder meetings.
Registered and non-registered shareholders who
have signed up for electronic delivery of this Circular and BAM’s annual report on Form 10-K dated March 2, 2026 (which includes
management’s discussion and analysis and consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025) (the “Annual
Report”) will continue to receive them by email. No shareholders will receive a paper copy of this Circular unless they contact BAM
at 1-866-989-0311 or bam.enquiries@brookfield.com, in which case BAM will mail this Circular
within three business days of any request, provided the request is made before the date of the meeting or any adjournment
thereof. We must receive your request before 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on April 21, 2026 to ensure you will receive paper copies
in advance of the deadline to submit your vote. If your request is made after the meeting and within one year of this Circular being filed,
BAM will mail this Circular within 10 calendar days of such request.

Who is entitled to vote?
Holders of Class A Shares and holders of
Class B Shares, as applicable, as at the close of business on March 10, 2026 are each entitled to one vote per share on the
items of business as identified above.
Registered shareholders are able to attend and
vote in person at the meeting by registering with BAM’s transfer agent, TSX Trust Company (the “Transfer Agent”), on the day
of the meeting. Your vote will be taken and counted at the meeting. Non-registered shareholders who have not duly appointed themselves
as proxyholder will be able to attend the meeting as guests, but will not be able to vote.
Shareholders who wish to appoint a person other
than the management nominees identified in the form of proxy or voting instruction form must carefully follow the instructions in the
Circular and on their form of proxy or voting instruction form.
Am I a registered shareholder or a non-registered shareholder?
Registered shareholders have a share certificate
or Direct Registration System statement issued in their name or appear as the registered shareholder on the books of BAM.
Non-registered shareholders are beneficial owners
of shares of BAM that are not registered shareholders. In many cases, Class A Shares that are beneficially owned by a non-registered
shareholder are registered either:
a. in the name of an intermediary such as a bank, trust company, securities dealer, broker or other intermediary
(each, an “Intermediary” and collectively, “Intermediaries”) with whom the non-registered shareholder maintains an
account, or a trustee or administrator of self-administered RRSPs, RRIFs, RESPs and similar plans; or
b. in the name of a depository such as CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. (“CDS”) or the
Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), of which the Intermediary is a participant.
If you are a non-registered shareholder and your
shares are held in the name of an Intermediary, see “If my shares are not registered in my name but are held in the name of an Intermediary,
how do I vote my shares?” on page 5 of this Circular for voting instructions.
If you are not sure whether you are a registered or non-registered
shareholder, please contact the Transfer Agent.
How do I vote?

BAM can vote in one of three ways, as follows:
· during
the meeting in person by ballot, or

submitting your voting instructions by proxy in advance of the meeting.
What if I plan to attend the meeting and vote in person?
If you are a registered shareholder or duly appointed
proxyholder and plan to attend the meeting on May 7, 2026 and wish to vote your shares in person at the meeting, please register

in my name but are held in the name of an Intermediary, how do I vote my shares?” on page 5 of this Circular for voting instructions.
Who is soliciting my proxy?
The proxy is being solicited by management of BAM and the associated
costs will be borne by BAM.
What happens if I sign the proxy sent to me?
Signing the proxy appoints Olivia (Liv) Garfield
or Cyrus Madon, each of whom is a director of BAM, or another person you have appointed, to vote or withhold from voting your shares at
the meeting.
Can I appoint someone other than these directors to vote my shares?
Yes, you may appoint another person or company
other than the BAM directors named on the form of proxy or voting instruction form to be your proxyholder. Write the name of this
person (or company) in the blank space on the form of proxy or voting instruction form. The person you appoint does not need to be a shareholder.
Please make sure that such other person you appoint is attending the meeting and knows he or she has been appointed to vote your shares.

For non-registered shareholders, if you have provided
your voting instructions and change your mind about your vote, you can revoke your proxy or voting instructions by contacting your intermediary.
If your intermediary provides the option of voting over the Internet, you can change your instructions by updating your voting instructions
on the website provided by your intermediary, so long as you submit your new instructions before the intermediary’s deadline.
How can I request electronic delivery of investor materials?
To opt for electronic distribution of investor
materials, complete the request for electronic delivery of materials form enclosed with the Notice Package and return it by mail to the
Transfer Agent.3 You can also submit your request online by visiting the Transfer Agent’s website: services.tsxtrust.com/edelivery.
How will my shares be voted if I give my proxy?
The persons named on the form of proxy must vote
your shares for or against or withhold from voting, in accordance with your directions, or you can let your proxyholder decide for you.
If you specify a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, your shares will be voted accordingly. In the absence of voting directions,
proxies received by management will be voted in favor of all resolutions put before shareholders of the meeting. See “Business of
the Meeting” on page 7 of this Circular for further information.
What if amendments are made to these matters or if other matters
are brought before the meeting?
The persons named on the proxy will have discretionary
authority with respect to amendments or variations to matters identified in the Notice and with respect to other matters which may properly
come before the meeting.
As at the date of this Circular, management of
BAM is not aware of any amendment, variation or other matter expected to come before the meeting. If any other matters properly come before
the meeting, the persons named on the form of proxy will vote on them in accordance with their best judgment.
Who counts the votes?
The Transfer Agent counts and tabulates the proxies.
If my shares are not registered in my name but are held in the name
of an Intermediary, how do I vote my shares?
Your Intermediary is required to send you a voting
instruction form for the number of shares you beneficially own. Non-registered shareholders should follow the instructions on the forms
they receive and contact their Intermediaries promptly if they need assistance.
A non-registered shareholder who does not wish
to attend and vote at the meeting and wishes to vote prior to the meeting must complete and sign the voting instruction form and return
it in accordance with the directions on the form. If your Intermediary makes these options available, you may also vote by telephone prior
to the meeting by following the directions on the voting instruction form on the Internet prior to the meeting by going to www.proxyvote.com
and following the instructions on this website. See “Can I vote by Internet in advance of the meeting?” on page 4 of this
Circular.
Since BAM has limited access to the names of its
non-registered shareholders, if you attend the meeting, BAM may have no record of your shareholdings or of your entitlement to vote unless
your Intermediary has appointed you as proxyholder.

2026 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR/ 5
Therefore,
if you wish to vote by online ballot at the meeting, you will need to insert your name in the space provided on the voting instruction

Non-registered shareholders who have not duly
appointed themselves as proxyholder will not be able to vote at the meeting but will be able to participate as a guest.
BAM has distributed copies of the Notice Package
to CDS and DTC and to Intermediaries for onward distribution to non-registered shareholders. Intermediaries are required to forward the
Notice Package to non-registered shareholders.
Principal Holders of Voting Shares
For over 50 years, the partners of Brookfield
(the “Partnership” or “Partners”) have owned, in partnership with one another, a substantial portion of their investments
in Brookfield. This includes a significant ownership of the Class A Shares of BN and its recently spun-off companies: BAM and Brookfield
Wealth Solutions Ltd. (BNT-NYSE and, together with BN and BAM, “Brookfield”). Separate from the ownership of the Class A
Shares, the Partners have also owned the Class B Shares of each entity since their creation.
This ownership framework among the Partners has
been an important underpinning of Brookfield’s culture and instrumental to the governance of Brookfield, enabling an uncompromising focus
on long-term value creation for all stakeholders.
The Partners include both current and former senior
executives and directors of Brookfield. We believe that the Partnership promotes decision-making that is entrepreneurial, collaborative
and aligned with the long-term interests of Brookfield. The financial strength and sustainability of the Partnership is characterized
by a consistent focus on renewal—longstanding members mentoring new generations of leaders and financially supporting their admission
as Partners. We believe this is a critical component to preserving our long-term culture and vision. The Partnership remains resolutely
focused on the long-term success of Brookfield for the benefit of all stakeholders, through all economic conditions.
As at March 10, 2026, the Partners collectively
own interests in approximately: 469 million BN Class A Shares (on a fully diluted basis), representing approximately 20% of BN’s
issued and outstanding Class A Shares; 454 million BAM Class A Shares (both directly and through BN’s 73% ownership of BAM,
on a fully diluted basis), representing approximately 28% of BAM’s issued and outstanding Class A Shares; and 39 million BNT Class A
Shares, which is a “paired entity” of BN, as the BNT Class A Shares are exchangeable into BN Class A Shares on a one-for-one
basis, representing approximately 60% of BNT’s issued and outstanding Class A Shares.
The economic interests of the Partners in Brookfield
securities consist primarily of (i) direct ownership of shares, as well as indirect ownership (such as shares that are held through
holding companies and by foundations) by the Partners on an individual basis; and (ii) the Partners’ proportionate beneficial interests
in shares held by Partners Value Investments L.P. (“PVI”). PVI is a public investment partnership whose principal business activity
is owning equity interests in Brookfield for the long-term. As at March 10, 2026, the Partners owned approximately 90% of PVI’s equity
units. PVI owns approximately 181 million BN Class A Shares, 30 million BAM Class A Shares and 12 million BNT Class A Shares
(each on a fully diluted basis).
In order to foster the long-term stability and
continuity of Brookfield, a group of longstanding Partners have been designated to oversee stewardship of the Class B Shares. Under
these arrangements, the Class B Shares are held in a trust (the “Trust”). The beneficial interests in the Trust, and the
voting interests in its trustee, are held as follows: one-third by Mr. Bruce Flatt, one-third by Mr. Jack L. Cockwell, and one-third
jointly by Messrs. Brian W. Kingston, Brian D. Lawson, Cyrus Madon, Samuel J.B. Pollock and Sachin Shah in equal parts. As such,
no single individual or entity controls the Trust.
In the event of a fundamental disagreement among
the shareholders of the trustee (and until the disagreement is resolved), three individuals have been granted the authority to govern
and direct the actions of the Trust. These individuals are, and their successors are required to be, longstanding and respected business
colleagues associated with Brookfield. The individuals, at the current time, none of whom are Partners, are Messrs. Marcel R. Coutu,
Frank J. McKenna and Lord O’Donnell.
To the knowledge of the directors and officers
of the company, there are no other persons or corporations that beneficially own, exercise control or direction over, have contractual
arrangements such as options to acquire, or otherwise hold voting securities of the company carrying more than 10% of the votes attached
to any class of outstanding voting securities of the company.
2026 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR/ 6
PART TWO
– BUSINESS OF THE MEETING
We will address six items at the meeting:
1. receiving the consolidated financial statements of BAM for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025,
including the external auditor’s report thereon;
2. electing directors who will serve until the end of the next annual meeting of shareholders;
3. appointing the external auditor that will serve until the end of the next annual meeting of shareholders
and authorizing the directors to set its remuneration;
4. considering and, if deemed advisable, passing an advisory resolution on BAM’s approach to executive compensation;
5. considering and, if deemed advisable, passing a resolution approving the adoption of a new management
share option plan; and
6. considering and, if deemed advisable, passing a resolution approving
amendments to BAM’s escrowed stock plan.
We will also consider other business
that may properly come before the meeting.
As at the date of this Circular, management is
not aware of any changes to these items and does not expect any other items to be brought forward at the meeting. If there are changes
or new items, you or your proxyholder can vote your shares on these items as you or your proxyholder sees fit. The persons named on the
form of proxy will have discretionary authority with respect to any changes or new items which may properly come before the meeting and
will vote on them in accordance with their best judgment.
1. Receiving the Consolidated Financial Statements
The annual financial statements of BAM for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 are included in the Annual Report. The Annual Report is available on BAM’s website, https://bam.brookfield.com
under “News and Events—Events and Financial Calendar”, on EDGAR at www.sec.gov/edgar
and SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca, and certain sections are being mailed to BAM’s registered
shareholders and non-registered shareholders who have contacted BAM to request paper copies. Shareholders who have signed up for electronic
delivery of the Annual Report will receive it by email.
2. Election of Directors
The Board is comprised of 12 directors, all of
whom are to be elected at the meeting. At the meeting and pursuant to BAM’s articles, holders of Class A Shares and Class B
Shares will vote together as a single class in the election of the entire Board since Brookfield Corporation and its subsidiaries beneficially
own more than 50% of the issued and outstanding Class A Shares as at March 10, 2026. See “Who Can Vote” on page 1
of this Circular.
Accordingly, if you own Class A Shares or
Class B Shares, you can vote on the election of all 12 directors. The following persons are proposed as nominees for election at
the meeting:
• Barry Blattman
• Angela F. Braly
• Marcel R. Coutu
• Scott Cutler
• Bruce Flatt
• Olivia (Liv) Garfield
• Nili Gilbert
• Keith Johnson
• Bruce Karsh
• Brian W. Kingston
• Cyrus Madon
• Diana Noble
2026 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR/ 7
Majority Voting Policy
The Board has adopted a policy stipulating that,
if the total number of shares voted in favor of the election of a director nominee represents less than a majority of the total shares
voted and withheld for that director (in each case, not on the cumulative basis described in the section “Cumulative Voting for Directors”
on page 8 of this Circular), the nominee will tender his or her resignation immediately after the meeting. Within 90 days of the
meeting, the Board will determine whether or not to accept a director’s resignation and will issue a press release announcing the Board’s
decision, a copy of which will be provided to the TSX. Absent exceptional circumstances, the Board will accept the resignation. The resignation
will be effective when accepted by the Board. If the Board determines not to accept a resignation, the press release will fully state
the reasons for that decision. A director who tenders his or her resignation will not participate in a Board meeting at which the resignation
is considered. The majority voting policy does not apply in circumstances involving contested director elections.
Cumulative Voting for Directors
The articles of BAM provide for cumulative voting
in the election of directors. Each shareholder of a class or series of shares of BAM entitled to vote for the election of directors has
the right to cast a number of votes equal to the number of votes attached to the shares held by the holder, multiplied by the number of
directors to be elected by the shareholder and the holders of shares of the classes or series of shares entitled to vote with the shareholder
in the election of directors. The shareholder may cast all of its votes in favor of one candidate or distribute such votes among the candidates
in any manner the shareholder sees fit. Where the shareholder has voted for more than one candidate without specifying the distribution
of votes among the candidates, the shareholder will be deemed to have distributed its votes equally among the candidates for whom the
shareholder voted.
A shareholder who wishes to distribute its votes
other than equally among the nominees and who has appointed the management representatives designated on the proxy must do so personally
at the meeting or by another proper form of proxy, which can be obtained from the Corporate Secretary of BAM.
Voting by Proxy
The management representatives designated on
the proxy to be completed by holders of Class A Shares and Class B Shares intend to cast the votes represented by such proxy
FOR and equally among the proposed nominees for election set forth on pages 9 to 14 of this Circular, unless the shareholder who
has given such proxy has directed that such shares be otherwise voted or withheld from voting in the election of directors.
Director Nominees
11 of the 12 director nominees, being Messrs. Blattman,
Coutu, Cutler, Flatt, Johnson, Kingston and Madon and Mses. Braly, Garfield, Gilbert and Noble, were elected as members of the Board at
the Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on May 5, 2025 and are standing for re-election. The remaining director nominee, being Mr. Karsh,
was appointed to the Board effective February 3, 2026 and is standing for election. The Board recommends that the 12 director nominees
be elected at the meeting to serve as directors of BAM until the next annual meeting of shareholders or until their successors are elected
or appointed.
The Board believes that the collective qualifications,
skills and experiences of the director nominees allow for BAM to continue to maintain a well-functioning Board with a diversity of perspectives.
The Board’s view is that, individually and as a whole, the director nominees have the necessary qualifications to be effective at overseeing
the business and strategy of BAM.
We do not expect that any of the director nominees
will be unable to serve as a director. If a director nominee tells us before the meeting that he or she will not be able to serve as a
director, the management representatives designated on the form of proxy, unless directed to withhold from voting in the election of directors,
reserve the right to vote for other director nominees at their discretion.
Each director’s biography contains information
about the director, including his or her background and experience, BAM shareholdings and other public company board positions held, as
at March 10, 2026. See “Director Share and DSU Ownership Requirements” on page 40 of this Circular for further information
on director share ownership requirements.

of BAM (see “Director Compensation” on page 38 of this Circular).
(e) Mr. Coutu and Ms. Braly’s DSUs (as defined
on page 25 of this Circular) include DSUs issued by BN which track the value of a Class A Share, issued pursuant to adjustments
made to outstanding equity-based awards of BN (the “Arrangement Adjustments”) in connection with the spin-out of BAM pursuant
to a plan of arrangement completed on December 9, 2022 (the “2022 Arrangement”), in their capacity as directors of BN.
(f) The Share Ownership Guidelines for directors is to hold Class A
Shares, DSUs or Restricted Shares (as defined on page 51 of this Circular) with a value equal to two times their annual director’s
retainer. See “Director Share and DSU Ownership Requirements” on page 40 of this Circular for further information. The
value of two times the annual retainer for each director is $500,000. As at March 10, 2026, the number of shares required to satisfy
the non-management director Share Ownership Guidelines is 11,040 (calculated by dividing the respective Share Ownership Guidelines expressed
in dollar value by the price of Class A Shares on the NYSE as at the close of market on March 10, 2026). Messrs. Kingston
and Madon each hold Class A Shares, DSUs or Restricted Shares with a value equal to more than five times their annual base salary
(“Base Salary”), which is the Share Ownership Guidelines for executive officers. The value of five times the Base Salary
for Messrs. Kingston and Madon is $3.75 million and $1.875 million, respectively. As of March 10, 2026, the number of shares
required to equal five times the Base Salary for Messrs. Kingston and Madon is 83,000 and 41,400, respectively (calculated by dividing
the amount that is five times the individual’s Base Salary by the price of Class A Shares on the NYSE as at the close of market
on March 10, 2026). See “Share Ownership Guidelines” on page 52 and “Summary Compensation Table” on

interests in Class A Shares held by PVI (on a consolidated basis); and (iii) the director’s Escrowed Shares (as defined
on page 51 of this Circular), which also represent an indirect pro rata interest in Class A Shares. The value of these indirect
pro rata interests is impacted by a number of factors, including the terms of their ownership, the capital structure of each company,
the value of the Class A Shares held by each company and their net liabilities and preferred share obligations (See “Principal
Holders of Voting Shares” on page 6 of this Circular for further information on PVI and “The Escrowed Stock Plan”
on page 62 of this Circular for further information on Escrowed Shares).

holders of Class A Shares and holders of Class B Shares will vote together as a single class for the election of directors.
3. Appointment of External Auditor
On recommendation of the Audit Committee, the
Board proposes the reappointment of Deloitte LLP as the external auditor of BAM. Deloitte LLP is the principal external auditor of BAM.
Deloitte has served as the external auditor of BAM since its
2026 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR/ 17
formation. The appointment of the external auditor
must be approved by a majority of the votes cast by holders of Class A Shares who vote in respect of the resolution, and by the holder
of Class B Shares, each voting as a separate class.
On any ballot that may be called for in the
appointment of the external auditor, the management representatives designated on the form of proxy intend to vote such shares FOR reappointing
Deloitte, an Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, as the external auditor, and authorizing the directors to set the remuneration
to be paid to the external auditor, unless the shareholder has specified on the form of proxy that the shares represented by such proxy
are to be withheld from voting in relation to the appointment of the external auditor.
Principal Accounting Firm Fees
Aggregate audit fees billed to BAM for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2025 by Deloitte amounted to approximately $4.2 million.
From time to time, Deloitte also provides consultative
and other non-audit services to BAM pursuant to an Audit and Non-Audit Services Pre-Approval Policy (the “Audit Policy”).
The Audit Policy governs the provision of audit and non-audit services by the external auditor and is annually reviewed by the Audit Committee.
The Audit Policy provides for the Audit Committee’s pre-approval of permitted audit, audit-related, tax and other non-audit services.
It also specifies a number of services the provision of which is not permitted by the external auditor, including the use of the external
auditor for the preparation of financial information, system design and implementation assignments.
The following table sets forth further information
on the fees billed by Deloitte to BAM on a consolidated basis for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31,
2024.

Audit fees include fees for services that would
normally be provided by the external auditor in connection with our statutory audit of BAM, including fees for services necessary to perform
an audit or review in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. This category also includes services that generally only
the external auditor reasonably can provide, including comfort letters and consents relating to certain documents filed with securities
regulatory authorities.
Audit-related fees are for other statutory audits,
assurance and related services, such as due diligence services, that traditionally are performed by the external auditor. More specifically,
these services include, among other things: statutory audits of our subsidiaries, employee benefit plan audits, accounting consultations
and audits in connection with acquisitions, attest services that are not required by statute or regulation, and consultation concerning
financial accounting and reporting standards.
Tax fees are principally for assistance in tax
return preparation and tax advisory services.
All other fees include fees for certain permissible
consulting and advisory services.
The Audit Committee has received representations
from Deloitte regarding its independence and has considered the relations described above in arriving at its determination that Deloitte
is independent of BAM.
4. Advisory Resolution on Approach to Executive Compensation
BAM believes that its compensation objectives
and approach to executive compensation strongly align the interests of management with the long-term interests of shareholders. Details
of BAM’s approach to executive compensation is disclosed in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” beginning on
page 41 of this Circular.
2026 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR/ 18
BAM has a policy providing that holders of Class A
Shares have the opportunity to cast an advisory vote on BAM’s approach to executive compensation on an annual basis. This policy
reflects BAM’s ongoing efforts to meet its objectives and ensure a high level of shareholder engagement.
The Board, with Messrs. Blattman, Flatt,
Kingston, and Madon abstaining, unanimously recommends that holders of Class A Shares vote in favor of the following advisory resolution
(the “Say on Pay Resolution”):
Resolved, on an advisory basis and not to diminish
the role and responsibilities of the Board, that the holders of Class A Limited Voting Shares accept the approach to executive compensation
disclosed in this Circular.
On any ballot that may be called for on the
Say on Pay Resolution, the management representatives designated on the form of proxy intend to cast the votes to which the shares represented
by such proxy are entitled FOR the Say on Pay Resolution, unless the shareholder has specified in the form of proxy that the shares represented
by such proxy are to be voted against the Say on Pay Resolution.

of the Board will take the results of the vote into account when considering future compensation policies, procedures and decisions. The
Board welcomes comments and questions on BAM’s executive compensation practices. Shareholders who wish to contact the Chair, the
Lead Independent Director or other Board members can do so through the Corporate Secretary of BAM.
5. Adoption of a New Management Share Option Plan
At the meeting, shareholders will be asked to
consider and vote on the 2026 Management Share Option Plan Resolution, the full text of which is set forth below, approving the implementation
by BAM of the 2026 Management Share Option Plan (the “2026 Plan”).
BAM’s use of options to acquire Class A
Shares is an important component of its long-term incentive compensation arrangements for executives. BAM believes that this practice
achieves alignment between executives and shareholder interests and assists in attracting and retaining qualified and motivated senior
executives and employees.
BAM’s Management Share Option Plan established
in 2022 (the “2022 Plan”) provides for the issuance of up to 17.5 million Class A Shares pursuant to the exercise of
options granted under the 2022 Plan. As at March 10, 2026, options to acquire approximately 9.22 million Class A Shares have
been granted, but not exercised under the 2022 Plan, leaving approximately 2.56 million available for further grants. On February 3,
2026, the Board of Directors approved the 2026 Plan, which, in accordance with the requirements of the TSX, requires shareholder approval.
The purpose of establishing the 2026 Plan is to ensure that there remains a sufficient number of options to acquire Class A Shares
available for issuance to enable the Corporation to continue its current practice of granting options as an alternative to cash compensation
to its executives. The 2026 Plan has substantially the same material terms as the 2022 Plan and will provide for the issuance of up to
20 million Class A Shares, representing approximately 1.22% of the issued and outstanding Class A Shares as at March 10,
2026. See “Security-Based Compensation Arrangements” on page 60 of this Circular for a summary of the terms of the 2022
Plan.
Shareholder Approval
The TSX requires shareholder approval of the adoption
of the 2026 Plan described above which must be approved by a majority of the votes cast at the meeting by holders of Class A Shares
who vote in respect of the 2026 Plan and by the holders of Class B Shares, each voting separately as a class. The Board unanimously
recommends that shareholders vote in favour of the following resolution (the “2026 Management Share Option Plan Resolution”):
2026 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR/ 19
Resolved that the 2026 Management Share Option
Plan of the Corporation, providing for a maximum of 20,000,000 Class A Shares reserved for issuance, is hereby approved and that
any director or officer of the Corporation is hereby authorized for and in the name of and on behalf of the Corporation to execute or
cause to be executed, and to deliver or cause to be delivered, all such documents and instruments, and to do or cause to be done all such
other acts and things, as in the opinion of such director or officer may be necessary or desirable to carry out the intent of this resolution.
On any ballot that may be called for on the
2026 Management Share Option Plan Resolution, the management representatives designated on the form of proxy intend to cast the votes
to which the shares represented by such proxy are entitled in favour of the 2026 Management Share Option Plan Resolution, unless the shareholder
has specified on the form of proxy that the shares represented by such proxy are to be voted against the 2026 Management Share Option
Plan Resolution.
6. Amendments to Escrowed Stock Plan
At the meeting, shareholders will be asked to
consider and vote on the Escrowed Stock Plan Amendment Resolution, the full text of which is set forth below, approving the amendment
by BAM of the Escrowed Stock Plan.
The Escrowed Stock Plan is intended to incentivize
and retain certain executives or other individuals designated by the Board for an extended period and to further align their long-term
interests with those of other shareholders in a manner that is less dilutive than alternative long term ownership plans, such as option
plans. The Escrowed Stock Plan will result in no net dilution over time because any newly issued Class A Shares under the Escrowed
Stock Plan will be fully offset by the cancellation of Class A Shares.
The Escrowed Stock Plan, established in 2022,
provides for the issuance of up to 11 million Class A Shares, representing approximately 0.67% of BAM’s issued and outstanding
Class A Shares as at December 31, 2025. When Class A Shares are issued in exchange for Escrowed Shares, the number of Class A
Shares remaining for future issuance under the Escrowed Stock Plan will be reduced. On the wind-up or merger of an Escrowed Company, the
number of Class A Shares held by one or more Escrowed Companies that are cancelled in respect of Class A Shares issued by BAM
in exchange for Escrowed Shares are added back to the number of Class A Shares available for future issuance.
On February 3, 2026, the Board of Directors
approved an amendment to the Escrowed Stock Plan, which, in accordance with the requirements of the TSX, requires shareholder approval.
The purpose of adopting the amendment is (i) to ensure that there remains a sufficient number of Class A Shares available for
issuance to enable BAM to continue its current practice of granting Escrowed Shares as an alternative to cash compensation or options
to its executives and (ii) update the amendment provisions to expressly require shareholder approval for any amendment that would
permit BAM to introduce non-employee directors as eligible participants under the Escrowed Stock Plan on a discretionary basis. The Escrowed
Stock Plan will maintain substantially the same terms, but will be amended to increase the maximum number of Class A Shares available
to be issued under the Escrowed Stock Plan to 15 million Class A Shares, representing approximately 0.92% of the issued and outstanding
Class A Shares as at March 10, 2026. For the reasons noted above, this increase will result in no net dilution. See “Security-Based
Compensation Arrangements” on page 60 of this Circular for a summary of the terms of the Escrowed Stock Plan.
Shareholder Approval
The TSX requires shareholder approval of the amendment
of the Escrowed Stock Plan described above which must be approved by a majority of the votes cast at the meeting by holders of Class A
Shares who vote in respect of the Escrowed Stock Plan and by the holders of Class B Shares, each voting separately as a class. The
Board unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favour of the following resolution (the “Escrowed Stock Plan Amendment Resolution”):
Resolved that the amendment of the Corporation’s
Escrowed Stock Plan is hereby approved, the maximum number of Class A Shares available to be issued under the Corporation’s
Escrowed Stock Plan is hereby increased by 4,000,000 from 11,000,000 to 15,000,000, and that any director or officer of the Corporation
is hereby authorized for and in the name of and on behalf of the Corporation to execute or cause to be executed, and to deliver or cause
to be delivered, all such documents and instruments, and to do or cause to be done all such other acts and things, as in the opinion of
such director or officer may be necessary or desirable to carry out the intent of this resolution.
2026 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR/ 20
On any ballot that may be called for on the
Escrowed Stock Plan Amendment Resolution, the management representatives designated on the form of proxy intend to cast the votes to which
the shares represented by such proxy are entitled in favour of the Escrowed Stock Plan Amendment Resolution, unless the shareholder has
specified on the form of proxy that the shares represented by such proxy are to be voted against the Escrowed Stock Plan Amendment Resolution.

under the U.S. Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”). They are also consistent with the
guidelines adopted by the CSA and the TSX.
Board of Directors
Mandate of the Board
The Board oversees the management of BAM’s
business and affairs directly and through two committees: the Audit Committee and the Governance, Nominating and Compensation Committee
(the “GNCC”, each of the Audit Committee and the GNCC, a “Committee” and collectively, the “Committees”).
The responsibilities of the Board and each Committee are set out in written charters, which are reviewed and approved annually by the
Board. All Board and Committee charters are posted on BAM’s website, https://bam.brookfield.com under “Governance—Governance
Documents”. The Board charter is also attached as Appendix A to this Circular.
The Board is responsible for:
· overseeing BAM’s long-term strategic planning process and reviewing
and approving its annual business plan;
· overseeing management’s approach to managing the key risks facing BAM;
· safeguarding shareholders’ equity interests through the optimum utilization
of BAM’s capital resources;
· promoting effective corporate governance;
· overseeing BAM’s sustainability program and related practices;
· reviewing major strategic initiatives to determine
whether management’s proposed actions accord with long-term corporate goals and shareholder objectives;
· assessing management’s performance against
approved business plans;
· appointing the CEO, overseeing the CEO’s
selection of other members of senior management and reviewing succession planning; and
2026 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR/ 22
· reviewing
and approving the reports issued to shareholders, including annual and interim financial statements.
Expectations of Directors
The Board has adopted a charter of expectations
for directors (the “Charter of Expectations”), which sets out BAM’s expectations for personal and professional competencies,
share ownership, meeting attendance, conflicts of interest, changes of circumstance, and resignation events. Directors are expected to
bring any potential conflict of interest to the attention of the Chair or a Committee Chair in advance, and refrain from voting on such
matters. Directors are also expected to submit their resignations to the Chair if: (i) they become unable to attend at least 75%
of the Board’s regularly scheduled meetings or (ii) if they become involved in a legal dispute, regulatory or similar proceedings,
take on new responsibilities, or experience other changes in personal or professional circumstances that could adversely affect BAM or
their ability to serve as a director. The Charter of Expectations is reviewed annually and a copy is posted on BAM’s website, https://bam.brookfield.com
under “Governance—Governance Documents”.
Meetings of the Board
The agenda for each Board meeting is set by the
Chair, in consultation with the CFO and Corporate Secretary, before circulation to the full Board.
The Board meets at least quarterly to review and
approve earnings, consider dividend payments and review specific items of business, including transactions and strategic initiatives.
The Board holds additional meetings as necessary to consider special business. The Board also meets once a year to review BAM’s
annual business plan and long-term strategy.
Meetings of the Board are primarily held in New
York, NY. In 2025, there were five scheduled Board meetings, consisting of four regular meetings and one annual strategy session held
in November 2025. With the exception of one board meeting held in London, U.K., all of the meetings were held in New York, NY. In
2026, there are five scheduled Board meetings, consisting of four regular meetings and one annual strategy session.
Meetings of Independent Directors
Private sessions of the independent directors
without management directors present are held at the end of each regularly scheduled and special Board meeting, as well as at the end
of the annual strategy session. Each private session of the Board is chaired by the Lead Independent Director, who reports back to the
CEO on any matters requiring action by management. There were five private meetings of independent directors in 2025.
Private sessions of the Committees without management
directors present are also held after each Committee meeting, chaired by the respective Committee Chair, who reports back to an appropriate
executive on any matters requiring action by management.
Independent Directors
The Board has a policy that the Lead Independent
Director and at least a majority of its directors are independent in order to ensure that the Board operates independent of management
and effectively oversees the conduct of management. BAM obtains information from its directors annually to determine their independence.
The Board decides which directors are considered to be independent based on the recommendation of the GNCC, which evaluates director independence
based on the guidelines set forth under applicable securities laws.
In this process, the Board conducts an analysis
of each director nominee to determine if they are a management director, affiliated director or an independent director.
The Chair of the Board is Mr. Flatt, who
is not an independent director. However, each of the Committees are fully comprised of independent directors and the Board has a Lead
Independent Director, Mr. Coutu. In addition, special committees of independent directors may be formed from time to time to review
particular matters or transactions. The Board encourages regular and open dialogue between the independent directors and the Chair to
discuss matters raised by independent directors.
The following table shows the directors standing
for election at the meeting and whether each nominee will be an Independent(a), Management(b) or Affiliated(c) director:

(a) “Independent” refers to the Board’s determination of whether a director is “independent”
under NYSE rules relating to corporate governance matters and section 1.2 of National Instrument 58-101 — Disclosure of Corporate
Governance Practices.
(b) “Management” refers to a director who is a current member of management of BAM.
(c) “Affiliated” refers to a director who (i) owns greater than a de minimis interest
in BAM (exclusive of any securities compensation earned as a director) or (ii) within the last two years has directly or indirectly
(a) been an officer of or employed by BAM or any of its affiliates, (b) performed more than a de minimis amount of services
for BAM or any of its affiliates, or (c) had any material business or professional relationship with BAM other than as a director
of BAM. “De minimis” for the purpose of this test includes factors such as the relevance of a director’s interest in
BAM to themselves and to BAM.
The Board considers the seven directors listed
as “Independent” above (approximately 58% of the Board) to be independent.
Term Limits and Board Renewal
The GNCC leads the effort to identify and recruit
candidates to join the Board. In this context, the GNCC’s view is that the Board should reflect a balance between the experience
that comes with longevity of service on the Board and the need for renewal and fresh perspectives.
The GNCC does not support a mandatory retirement
age, director term limits or other mandatory Board turnover mechanisms because its view is that such policies are overly prescriptive;
therefore, BAM does not have term limits or other mechanisms that compel Board turnover. The GNCC does believe that periodically adding
new voices to the Board can help BAM adapt to a changing business environment and Board renewal continues to be a priority.
The GNCC reviews the composition of the Board
on a regular basis in relation to approved director criteria and skill requirements and recommends changes as appropriate to renew the
Board (see the “Governance, Nominating and Compensation Committee” section in this Statement of Corporate Governance Practices
for further information on BAM’s process to identify candidates for election to the Board). Assuming all director nominees are elected
at the meeting, eight of the 12 directors will have been on the Board since BAM’s inception in December 2022.
Board Diversity Policy
BAM is committed to enhancing the diversity of
the Board. Our deep roots in many global jurisdictions inform our perspective on diversity and our view that the Board should reflect
a diversity of backgrounds relevant to its strategic priorities. This includes (but is not limited to) such factors as diversity based
on gender, race and ethnicity, as well as diversity of business expertise and international experience.
To achieve the Board’s diversity goals, it has adopted the following
written policy:
· Board
appointments will be based on merit, having due regard for the benefits of diversity on the Board, so that each nominee possesses the
necessary skills, knowledge and experience to serve effectively as a director;
· In
the director identification and selection process, diversity on the Board, including the factors referenced above, will influence succession
planning and be a key criterion in identifying and nominating new candidates for election to the Board; and
2026 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR/ 24
· The
Board has an ongoing gender diversity target of ensuring at least 30% of directors are women.
The Board reflects a diversity of gender, ethnic
and racial backgrounds. Of the 12 directors, two directors self-identify as ethnically diverse and four are women. Therefore, if all of
the director nominees are elected at the meeting, 17% of the Board will continue to be ethnically diverse, and 50% of the independent
directors and approximately 33% of the entire Board will be women, as shown in the gender metrics table below for the director nominees.
Women on the Board

The GNCC is responsible for implementing the Board
diversity policy, monitoring progress towards the achievement of its objectives and recommending to the Board any necessary changes that
should be made to the policy.
Director Share Ownership Guidelines
The Charter of Expectations sets forth share ownership
requirements of directors, which are in place because BAM believes that directors can better represent shareholders if they have economic
exposure to BAM themselves. BAM requires that each director hold Class A Shares, Restricted Shares and/or Deferred Share Units (“DSUs”)
having, in the aggregate, a value equal to at least two times the director’s annual retainer fee (“Annual Retainer”),
as determined by the Board from time to time. New directors have six years from the date of joining the Board to achieve this minimum
economic ownership requirement. All directors are required to take one-third of their Annual Retainer in the form of DSUs.
Director Orientation
BAM’s director orientation program consists
of private educational sessions with members of senior management and a comprehensive orientation package. These sessions include information
on BAM’s various businesses, its culture, its corporate governance practices, its approach to sustainability matters and risk management,
as well as information regarding the Board and Committees framework in place to manage BAM’s affairs and oversee management. Each
new director is informed of the expectations that will be placed on them and the commitment they will be asked to make to BAM.
Director Education and Site Visits
BAM provides regular continuing education for
directors. Time is set aside at all regularly scheduled Board meetings for presentations on different areas of BAM’s businesses,
led by executives responsible for or familiar with these operations. On a rotating basis, directors are provided with an in-depth analysis
of a business unit of BAM in order to further educate the directors about BAM and its business activities. Directors also receive presentations
on new developments and trends in corporate governance and director fiduciary duties as appropriate.
Director dinners, with select management present,
are held before or immediately following all regularly scheduled Board meetings, and director education is provided at these dinners by
way of presentations on areas relevant to BAM’s business. These presentations increase director knowledge of various business activities
and initiatives. Often more junior executives are invited to Board dinners in order to provide directors with exposure to the next generation
of executives and better enable the Board to assess BAM’s bench strength from a succession standpoint.
BAM’s quarterly Board materials include
a general market report which incorporates detailed information on developed and emerging economies. As well, throughout the course of
the year, the directors are privy to a number of educational sessions as part of the Board and Committee meetings and outside of such
meetings, attend BAM’s “Director Education Series”. To date, BAM has held educational sessions on topics including SEC
and regulatory compliance, renewable energy and impact investing, and artificial intelligence.
BAM has undertaken to provide off-site visits
for the Board to BAM’s business operations and other relevant destinations in key markets outside of New York and London, where
regularly scheduled Board meetings are normally held. These off-site visits will be designed to provide an opportunity for directors to
gain direct exposure to BAM’s operations and a more detailed understanding of its asset management operations. Off-site visits also
offer directors an opportunity to meet and assess BAM’s regional leadership in these markets.
2026 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR/ 25
Director Commitments
The GNCC monitors the demands placed on each director’s
time and attention outside of their service on the Board. This includes, among other things, reviewing the number of other public company
boards that a director sits on to ensure that no director has excessive commitments to other public companies that may result in a reduced
ability for the director to provide effective oversight as a Board member. In this regard, each director is required to notify the Chair
prior to accepting a directorship at another public company.
The view of the GNCC is that a policy limiting
the number of other public company boards that a director can sit on is overly prescriptive and would unnecessarily limit our pool of
candidate directors. Instead, the GNCC’s philosophy is to consider all outside commitments of a director in context and make a determination
whether each director is able to serve effectively on behalf of BAM’s shareholders. The GNCC has determined that all director nominees
are able to devote the time and attention required to provide effective oversight as a Board member.
Interlocking Directorships
The GNCC monitors interlocking board and committee
memberships among all directors. Board interlocks exist when two directors of one public company sit on the board of another company and
committee interlocks exist when two directors sit together on another board and are also members of the same board committee. There are
currently no interlocking board or committee memberships among the directors of BAM.
Committees of the Board
The Committees of the Board assist in the effective
functioning of the Board and help ensure that the views of independent directors are effectively represented:
· Audit
Committee; and
· GNCC.
The responsibilities of these Committees are
each set out in written Charters, which are reviewed and approved annually by the Board. The Charter of each Committee, which includes
the position description of its respective Committee Chair, can be found on BAM’s website, https://bam.brookfield.com under
“Governance—Governance Documents”. It is the Board’s policy that the Committees must consist entirely of independent
directors. Special committees may be formed from time to time to review particular matters or transactions. While the Board retains overall
responsibility for corporate governance matters, each Committee has specific responsibilities for certain aspects of corporate governance
in addition to its other responsibilities, as described below.
Audit Committee
The Audit Committee is responsible for monitoring
BAM’s systems and procedures for financial reporting and associated internal controls, and the performance of BAM’s external
and internal auditors. It is responsible for reviewing certain public disclosure documents before their approval by the full Board and
release to the public, such as BAM’s quarterly and annual financial statements and management’s discussion and analysis. The
Audit Committee is also responsible for recommending the independent registered public accounting firm to be nominated for appointment
as the external auditor, and for approving the assignment of any non-audit work to be performed by the external auditor, subject to the
Audit Committee’s Audit Policy. The Audit Committee meets regularly in private session with BAM’s external auditor and internal
auditors, without management present, to discuss and review specific issues as appropriate. The Audit Committee met four times in 2025.
In addition to being independent directors as
described above, all members of the Audit Committee must meet an additional “independence” test under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act
and Canadian securities laws, in that their directors’ fees must be and are the only compensation they receive, directly or indirectly,
from BAM. Further, the Audit Committee requires that all its members disclose any form of association with a present or former internal
or external auditor of BAM to the Board for a determination as to whether this association affects the independent status of the director.
As at February 23, 2026, the Audit Committee
was comprised of the following three directors: Mr. Coutu (Chair) and Mses. Braly and Gilbert, all of whom are independent directors
and were members of the Audit Committee throughout 2025, except for Ms. Braly, who was appointed to the Audit Committee effective
March 17, 2025. The Board has determined that all of
2026 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR/ 26
these directors are independent for Audit Committee
service and financially literate in accordance with the rules of the NYSE, and that Mr. Coutu is qualified as an “audit
committee financial expert” as defined under the Exchange Act. Mr. Coutu has a Master of Business Administration and over 27
years of experience in investment banking and corporate finance. He is the former President and CEO of Canadian Oil Sands Limited, and
former Chief Financial Officer of Gulf Canada Resources Limited. Ms. Braly is the former CEO, President and Chair of the Board of
WellPoint, Inc. and has extensive audit committee experience, including having served on the audit committees of BN and The Procter &
Gamble Company. Ms. Gilbert has a Master of Business Administration from Columbia Business School and is a Chartered Financial Analyst
(“CFA”) and Chartered Alternative Investments Analyst charterholder. Ms. Gilbert has over 20 years of professional experience
in the asset management business and is the Chair of the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero’s Advisory Panel of technical experts,
as well as a member of its CEO Principals Group and serves as Chair of the Investment Committees of both the David Rockefeller Fund and
the Synergos Institute.
Governance, Nominating and Compensation Committee
It is the responsibility of the GNCC, in consultation
with the Chair, to assess from time to time the size and composition of the Board and its Committees; to review the effectiveness of the
Board’s operations and its relations with management; to assess the performance of the Board, its Committees and individual directors;
to review BAM’s statement of corporate governance practices and to review and recommend the directors’ compensation. The GNCC
met three times in 2025, consisting of three regular meetings.
The Board has in place a formal procedure for
evaluating the performance of the Board, its Committees and individual directors – the GNCC reviews the performance of the Board,
its Committees and the contribution of individual directors on an annual basis (see the “Board, Committee and Director Evaluation”
section in this Statement of Corporate Governance Practices for further information on the annual director evaluation process).
The GNCC is also responsible for reviewing the
credentials of proposed nominees for election or appointment to the Board and for recommending candidates for Board membership, including
the candidates proposed to be nominated for election to the Board at the annual meeting of shareholders. To do this, the GNCC maintains
an “evergreen” list of candidates to ensure outstanding candidates with needed skills can be quickly identified to fill planned
or unplanned vacancies. Candidates are assessed in relation to the criteria established by the Board to ensure that the Board has the
appropriate mix of talent, quality, skills, diversity, perspectives and other requirements necessary to promote sound governance and Board
effectiveness. The GNCC is also responsible for overseeing BAM’s approach to sustainability matters, which includes a review of
their sustainability initiatives and any material disclosures regarding sustainability matters.
The GNCC reviews, at least once a year, the composition
of the Committees to ensure that Committee membership complies with the relevant governance guidelines, that the workload for independent
directors is balanced, and that Committee positions are rotated as appropriate. In doing so, the GNCC consults with the Chair and makes
recommendations to the Board, which appoints Committee members.
The GNCC is also responsible for reviewing and
reporting to the Board on management resource matters for BAM, including ensuring a diverse pool for succession planning, the job descriptions
and annual objectives of senior executives, the form of executive compensation in general, including an assessment of the risks associated
with the compensation plans and the levels of compensation of the CEO and other senior executives. The compensation of BAM’s CEO
is set by the GNCC. The GNCC also reviews the performance of senior management against written objectives and reports thereon. In addition,
the GNCC is responsible for reviewing any allegations of workplace misconduct claims that are brought to the Committee’s attention
through BAM’s ethics hotline, a referral from BAM’s human resources department, or otherwise.
In reviewing BAM’s compensation policies
and practices each year, the GNCC will seek to ensure the executive compensation program provides an appropriate balance of risk and reward
consistent with the company’s risk profile. The GNCC will also seek to ensure BAM and our asset management business’ compensation
practices do not encourage excessive risk-taking behavior by the senior management team. The participation in long-term incentive plans
is intended to discourage executives from taking excessive risks in order to achieve short-term unsustainable performance.
All members of the GNCC meet the standard director
independence test in that they have no relationship which could, in the view of the Board, be reasonably expected to interfere with the
exercise of their independent judgment. The Board has adopted a heightened test of independence for all members of the GNCC, which entails
that the Board has determined that no
2026 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR/ 27
GNCC member has a relationship with senior management
that would impair the member’s ability to make independent judgments about BAM’s executive compensation. This additional independence
test complies with the test in the listing standards of the NYSE. Additionally, the GNCC evaluates the independence of any advisor it
retains in order to comply with the aforementioned NYSE listing standards.
In addition, on an annual basis, the GNCC reviews
and recommends for approval to the Board, a number of BAM’s conduct guidelines and corporate policies, including the Code of Business
Conduct and Ethics (the “Code of Conduct”) and guidelines which apply to BAM’s directors, officers and employees as
well BAM’s investment and capital markets activities, including the thresholds and other criteria governing when such activities
can be approved by management and when Board approval is required.
As at February 23, 2026, the GNCC was comprised
of the following four directors: Mses. Garfield (Chair), Gilbert and Noble and Mr. Cutler, all of whom are independent directors
and were members of the GNCC throughout 2025, except for Mr. Cutler, who was appointed to the GNCC effective March 17, 2025.
Reporting
Each Committee Chair provides a report to the
Board following a meeting of their Committee. A Committee’s report to the Board provides a review of the matters that came before
the Committee during its meeting, a summary of any decisions that the Committee made, and any other information that the Committee deems
relevant. Additionally, as part of the Committee’s report, the Committee will recommend any resolutions that it proposes for adoption
by the Board. On an annual basis, each Committee provides a report to shareholders highlighting its work and achievements during the prior
year.
Board, Committee and Director Evaluation
The Board believes that a regular and formal process
of evaluation improves the performance of the Board as a whole, the Committees and individual directors. Each year, a survey is sent to
independent directors inviting comments and suggestions on areas for improving the effectiveness of the Board and its Committees. The
results of this survey are reviewed by the GNCC, which makes recommendations to the Board as required. Each independent director also
receives a self-assessment questionnaire and all directors are required to complete a skill-set evaluation which is used by the GNCC for
planning purposes.
The Chair or the Lead Independent Director holds
private interviews with each non-management director annually to discuss the operations of the Board and its Committees, and to provide
any feedback on individual director’s contributions. This interview process also includes a peer review, where each director provides
feedback to the Chair or the Lead Independent Director on the performance of their colleagues on the Board. The Chair or the Lead Independent
Director reports on these interviews to the GNCC as a basis for recommending to the Board measures to improve individual director performance
and the overall effectiveness of the Board.
Board and Management Responsibilities
Lead Independent Director
BAM has a separate Chair and CEO. The Chair is
Mr. Flatt and the CEO is Mr. Teskey. Since the Board has not appointed an independent Chair, the Board has appointed Mr. Coutu
as Lead Independent Director. The Board has adopted written position descriptions for each of the Chair, the Lead Independent Director
and CEO, which are summarized below, as well as position descriptions for each Committee Chair. These position descriptions are reviewed
annually by the Board and posted on BAM’s website, https://bam.brookfield.com under “Governance—Governance Documents”.
The Chair manages the business of the Board and
ensures that the functions identified in the Board’s Charter are being carried out effectively by the Board and its Committees.
In addition, the Chair is responsible for: approving the agenda for each Board meeting after consultation with the CEO, CFO and Corporate
Secretary; ensuring directors receive the information required to perform their duties; ensuring an appropriate committee structure is
in place; providing an evaluation system to assess the performance of the Board as a whole, the Committees and individual directors; and
working with the CEO and senior management of BAM in monitoring progress on strategic planning, policy implementation and succession planning.
2026 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR/ 28
The Lead Independent Director is generally responsible
for facilitating the functioning of the Board independent of management and the non-independent Chair. The responsibilities of the Lead
Independent Director include: maintaining and enhancing the quality of corporate governance; coordinating the activities of the other
independent directors; consulting and communicating directly with shareholders of BAM and other stakeholders, when appropriate; presiding
over all private sessions of BAM’s independent and unaffiliated directors and ensuring that matters raised during these meetings
are reviewed with the CEO and Chair and acted upon in a timely fashion; providing leadership to the Board if circumstances arise in which
the Chair may be, or may be perceived to be, in conflict, in responding to any reported conflicts of interest, or potential conflicts
of interest, arising for any director; and calling meetings of the independent directors, if necessary.
The CEO provides leadership to BAM and, subject
to approved policies and direction by the Board, manages the business and affairs of BAM and oversees the execution of its strategic plan.
In addition, the CEO is responsible for the following functions: presenting to the Board for approval an annual strategic plan for BAM;
presenting to the Board for approval BAM’s capital and operating plans on an ongoing basis; acting as the primary spokesperson for
BAM; presenting to the Board for approval an annual assessment of senior management and succession plans; appointing or terminating senior
executives of BAM; setting the direction for BAM’s approach to sustainability within its corporate and asset management activities;
and, together with the CFO, establishing and maintaining controls and procedures appropriate to ensure the accuracy and integrity of BAM’s
financial reporting and public disclosures.
Management’s Relationship to the Board
BAM’s senior management team reports to
and is accountable to the Board. Members of management attend Board meetings at the invitation of the Chair, and Committee meetings at
the invitation of the respective Committee Chairs.
The information provided by management to directors
is critical to Board effectiveness. In addition to the reports presented to the Board and its Committees at meetings, the directors are
also kept informed by management on a timely basis of corporate developments and key decisions taken by management in pursuing corporate
objectives. The directors annually evaluate the quality, completeness and timeliness of information provided by management to the Board.
Strategic Planning
The Board oversees BAM’s strategy to be
a leading global alternative asset manager across infrastructure, energy, private equity, real estate, and credit. To facilitate this
strategy, BAM develops an annual business plan to ensure the compatibility of shareholder, Board and management views on BAM’s strategic
direction and performance targets, and the effective use of shareholder capital. The Board meets once a year at an annual strategy session,
typically during the early part of the fourth quarter, to review the strategic initiatives and annual business plan submitted by senior
management. Material proposed deviations from the approved annual business plan are reported to and considered by the Board.
At the Board’s annual strategy session,
the Board reviews BAM’s business model, which is to grow fee-related earnings and distributable earnings by raising and managing
Fee-Bearing Capital in various forms from institutional and public market investors.4
BAM is able to raise capital by creating new investment strategies that help its clients meet their financial objectives and by generating
attractive risk-adjusted returns for its clients. In order to deliver strong performance returns on its funds, BAM utilizes its global
reach to identify and acquire high quality assets at favorable valuations, finance them prudently, and then seek to enhance the cash
flows and values of these assets through established operating business groups. BAM’s strategic plan is designed to achieve attractive
long-term total returns for shareholders while minimizing risk and enhancing value across our various stakeholder groups in the best
interests of BAM. At the annual strategy session, the Board evaluates the strategic plan and management’s annual accomplishments
versus the corporate objectives set forth in the plan.
Time is spent at each Board meeting discussing
BAM’s strategy with management in the context of corporate opportunities and strategic initiatives across the organization. On a
quarterly basis, the Board reviews the current global economic climate as applicable to BAM and its business, based on which adjustments
to BAM’s strategy may be considered.
4 Fee-related
earnings, distributable earnings and fee-bearing capital are non-GAAP measures. See the “Cautionary Statement Regarding the Use
of Non-GAAP Measures and Forward-Looking Statements” on page 65 of this Circular.
2026 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR/ 29
Risk Management Oversight
Managing risk is an integral part of the Board’s
activities. BAM has established a risk management framework for managing risks across the organization and the Board plays a central role
in overseeing a disciplined and focused approach to risk management.
Given the diversification and scope of BAM’s
operations, BAM seeks to ensure that risk is managed as close to its source as possible, and by management teams that have direct and
ongoing knowledge and expertise in the business or risk area. As such, business specific risks are generally managed at the business unit
level, as the risks of each business vary based on its unique nature and operational characteristics. At the same time, BAM utilizes a
coordinated approach to risks with the potential to impact the asset management business as a whole, as well as risks that tend to be
more pervasive and correlated in their impact across the organization. A coordinated approach is also emphasized where management can
bring together specialized knowledge to better manage such risks.
At least quarterly, management reports to the
Board and its Committees on developments and progress made on strategies for managing key risks.
The Board has governance oversight for risk management
with a focus on the more significant risks facing BAM, and builds upon management’s risk assessment processes. The Board has delegated
responsibility for the oversight of specific categories of risks to its Committees as follows:
Audit Committee
Oversees the management of risks related to BAM’s
systems and procedures for financial reporting, as well as for associated audit processes (both internal and external). Part of the
Audit Committee’s responsibilities is the review and approval of the internal audit plan, which is designed to ensure alignment
with risk management activities and organizational priorities.
Governance, Nominating and Compensation Committee
Oversees the management of risks related to BAM’s
governance structure and management resource matters, including the effectiveness of Board and Committee activities and potential conflicts
of interest, succession planning, executive compensation, and the roles and annual objectives of senior executives, as well as performance
against those objectives.
Related Party Transactions
Pursuant to its charter, the GNCC is responsible
for reviewing and conducting oversight of all significant related party transactions involving BAM and situations involving a potential
conflict of interest, which includes transactions between BAM and an executive officer, director, principal shareholder or their immediate
family members. The GNCC is also responsible for ensuring that no related party transaction entered into is inconsistent with the interests
of BAM and its shareholders. Where a related party transaction or situation involving a potential conflict of interest is required to
be dealt with by an independent special committee pursuant to applicable securities laws, BAM will form such a committee. See “Governance,
Nominating and Compensation Committee” on page 27 of this Circular for more information about the GNCC.
Sustainability
Sustainability at Brookfield
We believe that value creation and sustainable
business practices are complementary goals. Drawing on more than 100 years of experience as an owner and operator, we invest for value
and seek to generate strong risk-adjusted returns for our clients across economic cycles. Our investment strategy has remained consistent
throughout our history—we focus on utilizing our operational expertise to enhance long-term value through strategic and operational
improvements within our operating businesses and portfolio companies.
Our Sustainability Policy codifies our longstanding
strategy of integrating sustainability considerations into decision-making. It is based on the following guiding principles: mitigating
the impact of our operations on the environment; striving to promote the well-being and safety of our workforce; upholding strong governance
practices and acting as good corporate citizens.
2026 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR/ 30
For further information, we publish on our website
an annual sustainability report, which provides details about our approach to integrating sustainability across our business. Our disclosures
consider the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) and Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standards, and are aligned with the
Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) recommendations.
Sustainability Organization and Governance
Our Board oversees our business, including reviewing
major strategic initiatives and receiving progress reports on the firm’s sustainability initiatives throughout the year.
Our approach to sustainability has sponsorship
and oversight from the CEOs and sustainability leads of each business group, supported by senior executives. Functional leaders (i.e.,
Technology Services and Human Resources) are responsible for developing, implementing and monitoring relevant sustainability factors within
their functional area.
Integrating Sustainability into Our Investment Process
As part of our due diligence over investments
where we have control or significant influence, we seek to assess sustainability-related opportunities and risks and factor them into
the overall investment decision. This includes leveraging industry guidance to identify sustainability factors most likely to materially
impact the financial condition or operating performance of companies in a given sector.
Our Sustainability Due Diligence Protocol provides
guidance to investment teams on assessing bribery and corruption, cybersecurity, health and safety, human rights, modern slavery and climate-related
risks, among other factors. Where warranted, we perform deeper due diligence, working with internal and third-party experts, as appropriate.
Investments, other than de minimis or follow on
investments, must be approved by the applicable Investment Committee. Investment teams present the Investment Committee with the merits
of each transaction, its material risks, mitigants and significant opportunities for improvement, including sustainability aspects and
their potential implications, if any, for investment returns. As part of each acquisition, investment teams develop a customized integration
plan that encompasses, among other items, applicable sustainability-related matters for evaluation or implementation.
Consistent with our management approach, it is
the responsibility of management teams within each portfolio company to manage sustainability opportunities and risks through the investment’s
life cycle, supported by our relevant investment teams. Management teams regularly report to their respective boards of directors from
both financial and operating perspectives, including key performance indicators that incorporate material sustainability factors.
When preparing an asset for divestiture, we seek
to outline potential value creation deriving from several different factors, including relevant sustainability considerations.
Human Capital Development
Our people are our most important asset. The core
values of collaboration, entrepreneurship and discipline underpin our firmwide culture. We invest in our people and prepare them for future
leadership. Our firmwide culture, from our dealings with clients to the interactions among employees and executives, is defined by mutual
respect, teamwork and passion, and revolves around our core values:
· Collaboration:
Leadership works side by side with colleagues throughout the organization and is committed to achieving shared success. One of the key
attributes that we screen carefully for in new hires is their aptitude to collaborate with others. The firm wants people to share information
across groups and take an interest in all the businesses, not just the one they happen to work for at any particular point in time. We
do not hire people just for a specific job; we hire for the potential of all the future positions they might hold and that will contribute
to the broader success of the firm.
· Entrepreneurship:
Our flat organization is results-oriented—responsibility is earned based on initiative and hard work, rather than job title—and
decisions are made close to the action. This principle is not uncommon, but we have encouraged our entrepreneurial spirit throughout
our growth. We look for employees who have a passion not only for what they do but also for what the firm does. The shared values of
ownership extend beyond helping the company succeed or generate more revenue. It means caring about the little things as well, such as
not wasting money and treating everyone with respect.
2026 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR/ 31
· Discipline:
Our team shares an awareness of, and commitment to, our goal of generating superior long-term returns for investors. We maintain rigorous
investment discipline, focusing on high-quality assets that we operate and enhance as if we intend to own them indefinitely. Discipline
also requires that each person is expected to have a realistic understanding of his or her own abilities. We expect employees to understand
their strengths, recognize their weaknesses, be willing to stretch outside their comfort zones, and be willing to ask for help when necessary.
Employee Composition
We are committed to a hiring process that is objective,
nondiscriminatory and in compliance with all applicable legislation and good governance. It is grounded in our commitment to provide equal
employment opportunities with the objective of attracting the most qualified talent to our business. We proactively recruit people who
align with the attributes of a Brookfield leader and have the potential to develop within our organization. Our succession process focuses
on the development of early career candidates through stretch roles and exposure.
The composition and makeup of our employee base
is indicative of our focus that, as we grow, our people reflect the communities in which we operate. We recognize that a workforce encompassing
a variety of backgrounds is critical to our success. A diverse workforce not only reinforces our core principles of long-term focus, alignment
of interests, and collaboration, but also provides for a more dynamic and interesting work environment. Our global employees self-identify
their ethnicity; the below results demonstrate our state of diversity as at December 31, 2025. These figures exclude employees who
will transition to Brookfield upon completion of the Oaktree acquisition and operating employees.

Communication and Disclosure Policies
BAM has a disclosure policy (the “Disclosure
Policy”) that summarizes its policies and practices regarding public disclosures of information to investors, analysts and the
media. The Disclosure Policy ensures that BAM’s communications with the investment community are timely, consistent and in compliance
with all applicable securities legislation. The Disclosure Policy is reviewed annually by the Board and is posted on BAM’s website,
https://bam.brookfield.com under “Governance— Governance Documents”.
BAM keeps its shareholders informed of progress
and developments through a comprehensive annual report, quarterly interim reports and periodic news releases. BAM’s website provides
summary information and ready access to its published reports, news releases, statutory filings and supplementary information provided
to analysts and investors. BAM may, subject to applicable securities laws, disseminate important information exclusively via its website
and shareholders and others should consult the website to access this information regarding BAM and its affairs.
Management and shareholders participate in person
at the annual meeting of shareholders and the annual investor day in New York (“Investor Day”), and management is available
to respond to questions at these events. At Investor Day, management makes presentations to shareholders, investors and analysts on our
recent performance, our plans for the future and our prospects. Shareholders who wish to contact the Chair or other Board members can
do so through the Corporate Secretary of BAM by phone at 1-866-989-0311 or by email at bam.enquiries@brookfield.com.
BAM also maintains an investor relations program
to respond to inquiries in a timely manner. Management meets on a regular basis with investors and investment analysts and hosts quarterly
conference calls by webcast to discuss BAM’s financial results, with a transcript of these calls posted on BAM’s website.
Management ensures that the media are kept informed of developments on a timely basis and have an opportunity to meet and discuss these
developments with BAM’s designated spokespersons.
2026 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR/ 32
Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
BAM’s policy is that all its activities
be conducted with honesty and integrity and in compliance with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements. To that end, BAM maintains
the Code of Conduct and a Positive Work Environment Policy, which is incorporated into the Code of Conduct. Together, these policies set
out the guidelines and principles for how directors and employees should conduct themselves as members of the BAM team. Preserving our
corporate culture is vital to the organization and following the Code of Conduct, including our Positive Work Environment Policy, is a
critical component of achieving this.
All directors, officers and employees of BAM are
required to provide a written acknowledgment upon joining that they are familiar with and will comply with the Code of Conduct. All directors,
officers and employees of BAM are required to provide this same acknowledgment annually. The Board annually reviews the Code of Conduct
to consider whether to approve changes in BAM’s standards and practices. Compliance with the Code of Conduct is monitored by the
Board through the Audit Committee, which receives regular reports on any non-compliance issues from BAM’s internal auditors.
The Code of Conduct is available on BAM’s
website, https://bam.brookfield.com under “Governance—Governance Documents” and has been filed on EDGAR at www.sec.gov/edgar
and SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

the TSX and NYSE, as applicable. The closing price of the Class A Shares on the TSX
on December 31, 2025 was $52.39 (C$71.90 converted into U.S. dollars at the Bloomberg
mid-market exchange rate on that date of C$1.00 = US$0.7286) and on the NYSE was $52.39.
Equity Ownership of Directors
Director Share and DSU Ownership Requirements
The Board believes that its directors can better
represent BAM’s shareholders if they have an alignment of economic interest. Accordingly, directors are required to hold Class A
Shares, DSUs and/or Restricted Shares of BAM having a value of at least two times their aggregate annual retainer (the “Director
Share Ownership Guidelines”). This minimum ownership requirement is currently $500,000 for non-management directors. A director
must achieve this minimum ownership requirement within six years of joining the Board.
All independent directors are required to receive
at least 33.3% of their Annual Retainer in DSUs (see “Long-Term Share Ownership Plans” on page 49 of this Circular).
Subject to these requirements, all non-management directors have the option to receive their Annual Retainer in DSUs or cash.
Anti-Hedging Policy
In order to maintain the alignment of interests
between BAM and its directors, BAM generally prohibits all directors, including management and affiliated directors, from using derivatives
or other financial instruments to retain legal ownership of their shares or share units in BAM while reducing their exposure to changes
in BAM’s share price. Moreover, a director may not hold a short position in any security of BAM or its affiliates, either by way
of a short sale or by utilizing derivatives. This allows shareholders to determine a director’s true economic exposure to BAM’s
equity. Under limited circumstances, a director may be permitted to enter into a transaction that has the effect of hedging the economic
value of any direct or indirect interests held by the such director, but only to the extent that the transaction (i) is executed
and disclosed in full compliance with all applicable rules and regulations; (ii) has been approved by the CEO, President or
the CFO and, if appropriate, the GNCC; and (iii) is in respect of interests directly or indirectly held by such director in excess
of the interests that such director is required to hold under the Director Share Ownership Guidelines. To date, no director has hedged
the economic value of their direct or indirect interests in BAM.
Equity Ownership of Directors
The following table sets out the total number
of Class A Shares, DSUs and pro rata interest in Class A Shares held by the 12 proposed nominees for election to the Board
at the meeting. See pages 9 to 14 of this Circular for information on the individual equity ownership of the director nominees and

Compensation Discussion and Analysis Overview
Brookfield’s investment approach is to
acquire high quality assets and businesses that are reasonably valued and actively utilize the breadth of our operating experience to
enhance the value of what we buy. Once we have optimized the earning profile and the investment has been de-risked, we seek to sell the
business opportunistically to realize maximum risk-adjusted returns. Our goal is to create long-term sustainable growth in fee-related
earnings and carried interest flow from our alternative investment business that increases long-term shareholder value. We believe that
the price of the Class A Shares over the long-term is the most relevant and appropriate measure of whether we have achieved this
goal.
Successfully executing on this investment approach
requires a management team with a long-term focus on running the business, predicated on collaborative relationships, the discipline
to follow our investment strategy in good and more difficult times, and the entrepreneurship to focus on the long-term. In furtherance
of our investment approach, we employ a talent management strategy designed to (i) attract people who embrace this long-term focus
and demonstrate our values of collaboration, discipline, and entrepreneurship, and (ii) ensure we develop and retain them. The policies
and practices we adopt to do this are deliberate. We follow them because they have demonstrably supported, and we believe will continue
to support, our long-term approach to running the business.
The primary objectives of our talent management strategy are to:
• attract
and retain highly qualified and motivated executives who have confidence in, and are committed
to, BAM’s overall business strategy to create shareholder value over the long-term;
• emphasize
long-term decision-making with a focus on capital preservation and achievement of attractive
risk-adjusted returns;
• encourage
collaboration across the organization to ensure we harness the power of the breadth of our
platform;
• reward
consistent, long-term performance aligned with the interests and expectations of our investors;
and
• be
transparent to the employees and the shareholders of BAM.
2026 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR/ 41
Compensation Approach
A critical component of our talent management
strategy is our approach to compensation. Our decades of experience has taught us that the approach we take to compensation is essential
to executing our long-term business plan. Some highlights of our approach to compensation include:
• alignment of pay with appreciation in our Class
A Share price over the long-term.
• compensation programs that reward behaviors that align with long-term
value creation.
• long-term incentives that are competitive within our industry
in form and level, allowing for the attraction of top talent.
• pay mix heavily weighted to long-term incentives.
• five-year vesting period for all long-term incentive awards and
mandatory hold period upon vest for executive officers.
• departing executives forfeit unvested awards.
• clawback policy triggered by detrimental conduct or accounting
misstatement.
• minimum share ownership requirements for executive officers.
• say on pay advisory vote on executive compensation programs.
BAM’s
compensation arrangements align management’s interests with those of BAM’s shareholders.
Management,
executive officers and directors of BAM hold direct, indirect and economic interests representing approximately 101 million Class
A Shares and share equivalents of BAM.
Our emphasis on equity compensation, which has
long-term vesting and retention requirements, ensures that our executives make decisions and take risks in a manner that aligns with
the long-term interests of shareholders. Executives in dedicated fund management groups in most cases have compensation arrangements
that also include a component more directly linked to the long-term performance of the fund being managed. This includes BAM’s
CFO who, in addition to being responsible for overseeing the firm’s finance, treasury, tax and investor relations functions, is
a co-head of Brookfield’s infrastructure debt and structured solutions businesses and has a percentage of her long-term compensation
tied to the long-term performance of this business. The value created for the applicable fund’s investors directly relates to the
payments made under such plans and this value, in turn, benefits BAM. The timing of these payments to executives who are dedicated to
a fund are delayed until the fund’s performance is substantially realized and risk outcomes are determined, ensuring that the principles
of rewarding risk management and value creation over the long-term are consistent across each of our businesses. Awards under these plans
have the same 5-year vesting period and departing executives forfeit unvested awards. In addition, vested awards may be forfeited for
non-compliance in certain circumstances. Unless specifically noted otherwise, the remainder of the discussion in this Circular focuses
on the Named Executive Officers (as set out on page 44 of this Circular) but also pertains to executives of BAM who have corporate
responsibilities.
Compensation Arrangements Create Alignment of Interests between
Shareholders and Management
While the goals of our compensation arrangements
are similar to the goals expressed by many companies, the policies and practices we use to achieve these goals differ in certain respects
from market convention. Our compensation policies and practices have been shaped to align our executives with our goal of creating exceptional
value for our shareholders with a focus on long-term stewardship of the business. More specifically, our compensation programs consistently
focus on the long term:
• All
executives receive a significant portion of their compensation in the form of equity which
vests for a minimum 5-year period in arrears. As individuals progress in seniority, more
of their compensation is in the form of long-term awards. The Named Executive Officers, in
aggregate, have on average received approximately 73% of their 2025 annual compensation in
the form of long-term awards.
2026 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR/ 42
• Cash
bonuses represent a relatively modest proportion of each Named Executive Officer’s
total average annual compensation. Further, Named Executive Officers are eligible to elect
to receive their cash bonuses in the form of long-term incentives.
• Our
option and Escrowed Share awards have a 10-year life and reward executives for share price
appreciation over the period. Our executive officers, which includes the Named Executive
Officers, has consistently held these equity-based awards for over eight years on average;
moreover, upon exercise and/or exchange, our executive officers have retained a substantial
majority of the net proceeds in the form of Class A Shares.
• Executive
officers are required to hold a minimum of five times their salary in BAM equity and all
executive officers meet and, in most cases, far exceed this requirement. This high share
ownership further demonstrates management’s strong alignment with and belief in the
long-term prospects of the business.
• Management,
executive officers and directors of BAM hold direct, indirect and economic interests in BAM
representing approximately 101 million Class A Shares and share equivalents of BAM.
Put simply, our management team acts like, thinks like, and is a significant owner, alongside
all of our shareholders, of the business.
In addition, we have adopted the following policies
which further support a long-term ownership focus and alignment with shareholders:
• Executive
officers are required to hold, for at least one year, an interest in Class A Shares
equal to the net proceeds realized on the exercise of options or the exchange of Escrowed
Shares.
• Departing
executives forfeit all unvested long-term incentive awards unless a different arrangement
is specifically approved by the GNCC.
• Our
clawback policy provides for the reimbursement of incentive and equity-based compensation
by executive officers in the event of conduct that is detrimental to the business or an accounting
restatement, and is designed to comply with the clawback rules of the SEC and the related
exchange listing standards (the “U.S. Clawback Rules”).
In light of the significant long-term nature
of our approach to compensation, we do not add performance conditions to our vesting terms. In general, performance vesting involves
setting specific performance metrics which BAM is required to meet over a specified performance period before executives are entitled
to receive value under the long-term plan. It is quite common for these provisions to include performance periods of three years. As
noted above, our compensation programs provide for longer vesting periods of five years. We believe that adding short-term performance
metrics to our compensation plans would be detrimental to our overall long-term focus and would threaten to introduce the risk of behavior
that favors short-term performance over long-term value creation. While we are respectful of those who use these metrics, we have reviewed
this approach and do not believe it is in the best interests of our shareholders or of the business.
Value creation for our senior management team
is almost entirely based on share price over the long term — we do not provide performance multipliers that pay out for strong
performance in a weak market or for achieving internal targets set by management — our management receive value from their equity
awards only when our shareholders realize value over the long-term.
The following sections provide a detailed description
of BAM’s executive compensation philosophy and programs and the decisions of our GNCC under these programs, as well as the factors
considered in making its decisions.
Overview of the Business in 2025
BAM’s operations are organized into five
principal investment strategies in addition to our corporate activities. These strategies consist of infrastructure, energy, private
equity, real estate and credit. Certain executives who: (i) have responsibility for overall corporate activity; (ii) are in
charge of one of BAM’s principal business units, divisions or functions; or (iii) perform a similar policy making function
for BAM, are executive officers of BAM. As at December 31, 2025, there were five executive officers.
2026 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR/ 43
BAM’s compensation philosophy described
in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis is applicable for all corporate executives; however, the focus is on the compensation of
our “Named Executive Officers” for 2025 who were:

The GNCC recommends to the full Board for the
final approval of the compensation for the Named Executive Officers and the other executive officers of BAM.
The Board has charged the executive officers
with building a global asset management business focused on long-term sustainable growth in cash flows. The following table outlines
the key business accomplishments for 2025:
2025 Business Achievements
• Expanded
our asset management activities:
▪ Increased
Fee-Bearing Capital to $603 billion.
▪ Raised
over $112 billion of capital for the full year.
• Deployed
over $66 billion of capital over the year, most notably within credit ($36.3 billion), infrastructure
($10.8 billion) and real estate ($7.5 billion). Additionally, we sold assets and businesses
valued at nearly $80 billion, representing $50 billion of equity capital.
• Achieved
record financial results, generating $3.0 billion of Fee-Related Earnings in the year, up
22% from the prior year, and $2.7 billion of Distributable Earnings, up 14% from the prior
year.
• Increased
our quarterly dividend by 15% to $2.01 per share on an annual basis.
Role of the Governance, Nominating
and Compensation Committee
Governance, Nominating and Compensation Committee Members and Expertise
Mses. Garfield (Chair) and Noble were appointed
to the GNCC on December 9, 2022, Ms. Gilbert was appointed to the GNCC on June 9, 2023, and Mr. Cutler was appointed
to the GNCC effective March 17, 2025. Each of the four members of the GNCC are independent, and the Board believes that the GNCC
collectively has the knowledge, skills, experience and background required to fulfill its mandate.
Governance, Nominating and Compensation Committee Mandate
The GNCC has a specific written mandate to review
and approve compensation for the executive officers. This includes an annual evaluation of the performance of the Named Executive Officers
and other executive officers. The GNCC makes recommendations to the Board with respect to the compensation of the Named Executive Officers
and the Board gives final approval on compensation matters.
The GNCC meets as required, and at least annually,
to monitor and review management compensation policies, management succession planning, diversity and the overall composition and quality
of BAM’s management resources. The GNCC held three meetings in 2025 and there are three regular meetings scheduled for 2026. None
of the recommendations of the GNCC were rejected or modified by the Board during 2025.
2026 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR/ 44
Benchmarking Executive Compensation and Compensation Peer Group
Salary and short-term incentives are elements
of compensation that can be easily benchmarked; however, long-term incentives are more difficult to benchmark since their value is dependent
on the underlying assumptions used by each organization and may not be consistent across organizations. Since long-term incentives are
a significant focus of BAM’s incentive programs, the GNCC has not defined a peer group or benchmarked Named Executive Officer compensation
against a peer group. Management conducts annual compensation benchmarking for executives and results are shared with the GNCC as appropriate.
As described above, the GNCC believes that BAM’s current compensation policies have assisted in attracting and retaining top talent
and encouraging executives to assess the risks related to their decisions and actions, and minimizing the ability of executives to benefit
from taking risks that increase the performance of BAM in the short-term at the expense of long-term value. The GNCC also believes that
BAM’s current compensation policies meet BAM’s other objectives, as described under “Compensation Approach” on
page 42 of this Circular.
Independent Compensation Advisors
The GNCC has the authority to retain independent
compensation advisors, but did not do so in 2025. If the GNCC engages outside compensation advisors in the future, it will take appropriate
steps to ensure they are independent from, and provide no other services to, BAM or its management.
Succession Planning
Each year the GNCC assesses the availability
of suitable succession candidates for the executive officer positions, including the CEO and other Named Executive Officers. Specifically,
the GNCC is provided with a list of potential leadership candidates and reviews the performance, skills, current responsibilities and
plans for their continued development. In addition, the GNCC spends time each year reviewing, with management, the performance and development
of junior executives. The GNCC believes that this review is important for succession planning purposes and for the compensation awarding
process. Brookfield has a long history of developing executives from within rather than hiring externally and the awarding of long-term
incentives is an important component of rewarding and retaining these executives.
Diversity
BAM is committed to workplace diversity, which
is important to BAM’s long-term success and BAM actively supports the development and advancement of a diverse group of employees
capable of achieving leadership positions. Leadership appointments are solely based on merit, and not on other factors because management
and the Board believe that merit should be the guiding factor in determining whether a particular candidate is capable of bringing value
to BAM. As such, the Board has not adopted formal targets for female representation in executive positions. However, a cornerstone of
BAM’s succession planning process is a tailored approach to the development and advancement of employees capable of achieving executive
officer positions. Tailoring the development plan for each individual permits BAM to consider the needs of the individual, including
considerations that are gender-based. This tailored approach to developing executives starts with identifying individuals who demonstrate
the skills and attributes required to achieve executive officer positions within BAM. The progress of these individuals is reviewed annually
in order to ensure that each individual is being provided opportunities to achieve their potential. Development opportunities include
exposure to a new competency or skill, a transfer between business units, a relocation, a role expansion and other stretch opportunities.
While BAM has not adopted formal targets for
female representation in executive officer positions, management and the GNCC actively monitor the percentage of females identified as
capable of achieving executive officer positions in aggregate, by business unit and by geography. In 2025, of the individuals identified
as having the potential to achieve executive officer positions, approximately 43% self-identified as ethnically diverse and approximately
39% were women. Management and the GNCC review annually a summary of high performance employees, including by gender and geography, the
type of development opportunities provided to these individuals and changes to their compensation year over year in order to monitor
BAM’s activities related to increasing female representation in senior management positions.
Compensation Related Risk
Annually, the GNCC reviews BAM’s compensation
approach, policies and practices as well as BAM’s incentive plans at the corporate level and within its business units. In 2025,
the GNCC completed this review in November 2025.
2026 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR/ 45
The GNCC also reviews the terms and conditions
of the Long-Term Share Ownership Plans, as well as any proposed amendments, and considers the appropriateness and effectiveness of the
plans in the context of current compensation practices, regulatory changes and BAM’s objectives. The GNCC receives an update on
the financial arrangements entered into by BAM to hedge the impact on BAM of future increases in the market price of its Class A
Shares against the liability incurred under BAM’s Deferred Share Unit Plan. For 2025, the GNCC determined that the plans are appropriate
and effective.
The GNCC reviewed BAM’s compensation policies
and practices, including the design of BAM’s incentive plans to ensure that they:
• encourage
management to consider the risks associated with their decisions;
• minimize
management’s ability to benefit from taking risks that increase performance in the
short-term at the expense of long-term value creation;
• hold
management accountable for their decisions both during employment with, and post-departure
from, BAM; and
• provide
discretion to the GNCC, where appropriate, to prevent unintended consequences which either
unduly benefit or penalize management.
This review separately considered
businesses that deploy capital (e.g. private fund business) and businesses that do not deploy capital (e.g. fee for service business)
since the compensation risks associated with these businesses are different.
As part of its 2025 review, the
GNCC did not identify any risks which are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on BAM. It was concluded that BAM’s
compensation approach, policies and practices for its executives at the corporate level and within its business units appropriately:
• encourage
executives to consider the risks associated with their decisions and actions; and
• do
not result in the probability that excessive payouts will be made before the outcome of risks
are known.
In reaching their conclusion, the GNCC considered
the following:
• the
emphasis on long-term compensation for executives in businesses that allocate capital including
five-year vesting periods and the forfeiture terms related to departure;
• the
fact that the design of incentive arrangements for businesses that deploy capital considers
the additional risk relative to businesses that do not deploy capital;
• the
direct link between the payout to the executive and the performance of the businesses; and
• the
timing of payouts to executives who are dedicated to a fund are delayed until the funds’
performance is substantially realized and risk outcomes are determined.
The GNCC also reported that the
compensation arrangements for the Named Executive Officers are consistent with the objectives of BAM’s compensation program as
outlined under “Compensation Approach” on page 42 of this Circular, support the creation of shareholder value over the
longer term, as well as the attraction and retention of executives who make decisions with a long-term view, and encourage an assessment
of risk related to the decisions made and actions taken. The following practices related to the compensation of the executive officers
support this conclusion:
• the
highest percentage of total annual compensation is granted as Long-Term Share Ownership Plan
awards which vest over five years with overlapping vesting periods;
• the
significant level of equity ownership by management;
• management
remains exposed to the long-term risks associated with their decision-making through their
equity ownership and compensation granted as long-term incentives;
• the
fact that options and escrowed shares are held well beyond their vesting period and generally
until close to their expiry date; and
• the
length of tenure of management with Brookfield.
2026 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR/ 46
Key Elements of Compensation
During
the past four years, total compensation for the Named Executive Officers has been comprised of approximately 13% Base Salary, 9%
Annual Management Incentive Plan awards and 78% Long-Term Share Ownership Plan awards.
In order to achieve our compensation
objective to create alignment of interests between shareholders and management, while minimizing management’s ability to benefit
from taking risks that increase performance in the short-term at the expense of long-term value creation, executives receive a substantial
portion of their compensation in awards under the Long-Term Share Ownership Plans described on pages 50 to 51 of this Circular which:
• reinforces
the focus on long-term value creation;
•
aligns the interests of executives with other shareholders of BAM; and
• encourages
management to follow a rigorous forward-looking risk assessment process when making business decisions.
Total compensation for executives
with corporate responsibilities is comprised of the following elements: Base Salary, Annual Management Incentive Plan awards (“Bonus”)
and participation in BAM’s Long Term Share Ownership Plans and standard benefits.
Total compensation for executives who are at earlier stages in their
careers also includes awards pursuant to BAM’s Long-Term Share Ownership Plans but a larger percentage of their total compensation
is in the form of Base Salary and Bonus awards in recognition of their personal needs and to be competitive within the alternative asset
management industry. Furthermore, changes in total compensation from year to year often vary more for these executives as they take on
increasing responsibility.
As executives progress within BAM, they have
the opportunity to receive their annual Bonus in DSUs instead of cash under BAM’s Deferred Share Unit Plan or Restricted Shares
under BAM’s Restricted Stock Plan. This enables executives to increase their ownership interest in BAM over time.
The following table provides an overview of each
of the elements of compensation, followed by further details related to BAM’s Bonus and Long-Term Share Ownership Plans.

2026 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR/ 48
Annual Management Incentive Plan (“Bonus Plan”)
BAM believes that, given its focus on the long-term
when making decisions, the impact of which is difficult to assess in the short-term, a heavy emphasis on annual incentives and a formulaic
calculation of awards based on the achievement of annual operational or individual performance targets may not appropriately reflect decisions
that are fully aligned with the long-term strategy of BAM. Accordingly, the awards made under the Bonus Plan typically represents approximately
10% of an executive officer’s total compensation.
The GNCC believes that its ability to exercise
discretion and judgment is critical to ensuring that annual incentives reflect the assessment of risk in the decisions and actions taken
by management and consider unexpected circumstances or events that have occurred during the year. Accordingly, for the executive officers,
including the Named Executive Officers, the GNCC starts with a review of the management team’s collective performance in meeting the broader
business plan objectives. These objectives include both short-term operational goals and objectives related to the implementation of the
long-term business strategy. Given the emphasis on long-term value creation, it is not unusual for some of the objectives set at the beginning
of the year to change during the year. Each year, the GNCC reviews:
• the
accomplishments during the year;
• why
certain objectives were not met or certain actions were not undertaken; and
• additional
initiatives undertaken by management, which were not contemplated in the initial objectives.
Accordingly, annual incentive awards are determined based on the GNCC’s:
• assessment
of management’s decisions and actions and how those decisions and actions align with BAM’s
long-term strategy of value creation and how management considered the risks associated with
such decisions; and
• determination
of whether any objectives were not met because management made decisions in the best long-term
interests of BAM or due to factors outside of management’s control.
The compensation structure for Mr. Flatt
includes a Base Salary and Long-Term Share Ownership award only, further reinforcing a focus on long-term decision-making. In addition,
given BAM’s view that a collaborative approach is fundamental to meeting its long-term objectives, the Bonus Plan awards for the Named
Executive Officers tend to be similar in amount and typically do not fluctuate significantly from year to year.
For other executives, the incentive award is based
more on the performance of the individual executive (as measured by the achievement of specific objectives) and less on collective performance.
Long-Term Share Ownership Plans
BAM’s Long-Term Share Ownership Plans are intended to:
• encourage
share ownership;
• increase

2025 Awards and Settlements
In 2025, we granted a total of 3,544,325 Escrowed Shares and 73,908 Class A Shares were issued under the Escrowed Stock Plan for settlement
of existing awards.
(a)
For corporate executives, the annual long-term incentive award is typically
in the form of options, Escrowed Shares or occasionally Restricted Shares. The number of options, Escrowed Shares or Restricted Shares
awarded is dependent on the executive’s annual target (the “Target”). The Target is a function of the executive’s
role, level and contribution. Accordingly, an individual’s Target typically increases over time. The number of options or Escrowed
Shares awarded to an executive is calculated as (i) the Target divided by (ii) the price of the Class A Shares at the time the award
is determined. In certain circumstances, awards in excess of the Target are granted to executives who have taken on additional responsibility,
or who have consistently performed at a high level.
Key Policies and Practices to Support Alignment
The GNCC maintains compensation programs that
incorporate leading compensation governance principles. Highlighted below are some of BAM’s executive compensation policies and practices
that are designed to (i) encourage executives to consider the risks associated with their decisions, (ii) minimize the risk
that executives are rewarded in the short-term for actions which are detrimental in the long-term, and (iii) reinforce the alignment
of the interests of management with the long-term interests of shareholders.
2026 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR/ 51
The following outlines BAM’s policies and practices which incorporate
leading compensation governance principles:
ü Require
executive officers to own a significant interest in BAM
ü Require
executive officers to hold for at least one year, an interest in Class A Shares equal
to the net proceeds realized on exercise of options or exchange of Escrowed Shares
ü Provide
for clawback of incentive and equity-based compensation in the event of accounting restatements
or detrimental conduct
ü Require
long-term incentives to vest over five years
ü Termination
provisions generally require departing executives to forfeit unvested awards
ü Do
not provide defined benefit pension plans for any executives
ü Restrict
hedging of shares or share-based incentives
Share Ownership Guidelines
The executive officers are required to hold Class A
Shares, DSUs, Restricted Shares or other equity securities that own underlying Class A Shares with a value equal to five times Base
Salary, based on the market value of the securities held, and which must be attained within five years of being designated as executive
officers. As at February 23, 2026, all of the executive officers who are required to have met the share ownership requirement have
done so. Any executive officer who has not yet met the ownership requirement remains on track to fulfill the ownership requirement within
the applicable timeframe.
Reimbursement of Incentive and Equity-Based Compensation (Clawback)
Pursuant to BAM’s Clawback Policy (the “Clawback
Policy”), executive officers may be required to pay to BAM an amount equal to some or all of any cash payments or equity awards granted
or paid to, or earned by, such executive officer under the terms of any of BAM’s incentive compensation or long-term incentives plans
(collectively, “Awards”). This payment may be required in the event that (i) BAM is required to prepare an accounting restatement
due to BAM’s material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under United States federal securities laws or to avoid a
material accounting misstatement or (ii) an executive officer is determined to have engaged in conduct which the GNCC determines
is detrimental to BAM.
The GNCC has full and final authority to make all
determinations under the Clawback Policy including, without limitation, whether the Clawback Policy applies and if so, the amount of compensation
to be repaid or forfeited by the executive officer. In the event that BAM is required to prepare an accounting restatement, the GNCC will
review all incentive-based compensation earned by its executive officers (i) after beginning service as an executive officer, (ii) during
the three completed fiscal years immediately preceding the date on which BAM is required to prepare the accounting restatement (as well
as during any transition period specified in the U.S. Clawback Rules), (iii) while BAM has a class of securities listed on a U.S.
stock exchange, and (iv) after the U.S. Clawback Rules became effective. If the GNCC determines that one or more executive officers
received any erroneously awarded compensation in connection with an accounting restatement, the GNCC will seek recoupment from such executive
officers of all such erroneously awarded compensation, unless it determines that one of the impracticality exceptions set forth in the
U.S. Clawback Rules is available.
In order to protect BAM’s reputation and competitive
ability, the Clawback Policy may also apply to executive officers that engage in conduct that is detrimental to BAM during or after the
cessation of such executive officer’s employment with BAM. Detrimental conduct includes any conduct or activity, whether or not related
to the business of BAM, that is determined in individual cases by the GNCC, to constitute: (i) fraud, theft-in-office, embezzlement
or other illegal activity; (ii) failure to abide by applicable financial reporting, disclosure and/or accounting guidelines; (iii) material
violations of BAM’s Code of Conduct; or (iv) material violations of BAM’s Positive Work Environment Policy (including the sexual
harassment related provisions thereof). In the event that it is determined that detrimental conduct has occurred, the Clawback Policy
relates to any Awards received: (i) on or after the date the executive officer is determined to have engaged in detrimental conduct;
and/or (ii) the two year period prior to the date the executive officer is determined to have engaged in detrimental conduct.
Where it is determined (i) through an accounting
restatement that incentive-based compensation was erroneously awarded to an executive officer or (ii) that the executive officer
engaged in detrimental conduct, the GNCC will have the ability to: (x) require the executive officer to re-pay any Award paid to
the executive officer; (y) cancel/revoke any prior Award that has
2026 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR/ 52
not yet vested to, and any Award that has vested
but has not yet been exercised by, the executive officer; and/or (z) require the executive officer to re-pay the cash value realized
by the executive officer on any Award that has already vested to the executive officer. Awards include all plans under which cash payments
or equity awards granted or paid are currently being made (DSUs, Escrowed Shares and Restricted Shares) or any plans which are no longer
operating but still have outstanding awards.
Hedging of Economic Risks for Personal Equity Ownership
All executives are prohibited from entering into
transactions that have the effect of hedging the economic value of any direct or indirect interests by the executive in Class A Shares,
including their participation in Long-Term Share Ownership Plans. Under limited circumstances, an executive may be permitted to enter
into a transaction that has the effect of hedging the economic value of any direct or indirect interests held by such executive, but only
to the extent that the transaction (i) is executed and disclosed in full compliance with all applicable rules and regulations;
(ii) has been approved by the CEO, President and CFO and, if appropriate, the GNCC; and (iii) is in respect of interests directly
or indirectly held by such individual in excess of the interests that such individual is required to hold under the Share Ownership Guidelines.
To date, no executive has hedged the economic value of their direct or indirect interests in BAM.
Option Exercise Hold Periods During and Post-Employment
In order to minimize any possibility of executives
opportunistically exercising options and selling the securities received at an inappropriate time, and to require share ownership post-employment,
executive officers are required to continue to hold, for at least one year, an interest in Class A Shares equal to any net after-tax
cash proceeds realized from the exercise of options or exchange of Escrowed Shares. This requirement is distinct and in addition to any
share ownership guidelines.
Termination and Change of Control Provisions
As a general practice, BAM does not provide contractual
termination or post-termination payments or change of control arrangements to employees. Specifically, BAM has not entered into contractual
termination, post-termination or change of control arrangements, employment contracts or golden parachutes with any of its Named Executive
Officers.
The following table provides a summary of the
termination provisions in BAM’s Long-Term Share Ownership Plan. No incremental entitlements are triggered by termination, resignation,
retirement or a change in control. Any exceptions to these provisions are approved on an individual basis at the time of cessation of
employment. Exceptions are approved by the Chair of the GNCC or the Board, depending on the circumstances.

2025 Compensation Decisions
The Board has charged the CEO and the management
team with expanding the asset management business globally in a manner consistent with the creation of shareholder value over the long
term. The CEO’s personal performance, as well as the performance of the executive officers, is reviewed each year by the Board and the
GNCC in relation to operational results, the achievement of other objectives set out at the beginning of the year related to the implementation
of the long-term business strategy and other accomplishments.
Each year, the CEO presents an annual business
plan to the Board. The plan incorporates both short-term and long-term growth objectives. This annual business plan sets out the strategic
direction of BAM, together with specific operational targets and objectives related to the implementation of BAM’s long-term business
strategy. The targets and objectives are aggressive and, given the opportunistic and entrepreneurial nature of the organization, provide
the Board with examples of various transactions and initiatives that management believes will create shareholder value over the long-term.
The determination of annual incentive awards and
long-term ownership awards is not formulaic but instead is entirely based on the Board’s assessment of the specific actions taken during
the year by the team to implement BAM’s strategic plans and any amendments to the plans, all in the context of long-term value creation,
and other actions taken in response to unforeseen developments during the year.
Information Reviewed by the Governance, Nominating and Compensation
Committee
In February 2026, the GNCC received a report
detailing the compensation arrangements for the executive officers, including the Named Executive Officers. The report summarized the
total 2025 compensation, including proposed annual incentive awards and Long-Term Share Ownership Plan awards as well as the proposed
2026 Base Salaries. The report also presented a
2026 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR/ 54
wealth accumulation analysis, including the “in-the-money”
value of vested and unvested Long-Term Share Ownership Plan awards previously granted and the options exercised during the year for each
executive officer.
The report included an analysis of the expected
value of 2025 compensation awards to the Named Executive Officers that would be paid under various performance results. The GNCC determined
that the resulting compensation was reasonable and appropriate based on the projected performance of the Class A Shares over a 10-year
period.
The extent of equity ownership by all executives
is an important consideration for the GNCC. It demonstrates the extent to which executives will benefit from, and will be motivated to
achieve, the long-term enhancement of shareholder value. Accordingly, the report also contained an analysis of equity ownership by all
executives. It also summarized the equity ownership by the most senior executives including Class A Shares held directly and indirectly
as well as through Long-Term Share Ownership Plans, along with a summary of the tenure with the organization of each executive officer.
The GNCC determined that the significant level of equity ownership of the executive officers creates an alignment of interests to enhance
shareholder value over the longer term.
In addition, the report contained a summary of
regular and additional discretionary option awards to all executives as recommended by the executive officers. The GNCC has determined
that these arrangements are reasonable and appropriate.
2025 Incentive Awards
The GNCC considered the significant achievements
by BAM in 2025 as outlined on page 44 of this Circular. After considering these achievements, the GNCC determined that management
had advanced the long-term business strategy in a manner consistent with the creation of shareholder value over the longer term. Accordingly,
the annual and long-term incentive awards for 2025 were as follows:

(a) Mr. Flatt is not eligible for an annual incentive. His compensation consists of a Base Salary
and an award under one of BAM’s Long-Term Share Ownership Plans. In addition, Mr. Flatt, who remains CEO of BN, is eligible for BN
compensation, including Long-Term Share Ownership Plans. In 2025, Mr. Flatt received $5,360,400 in Long-Term Incentive Value as BN
compensation in his capacity as CEO of BN.
(b) Mr. Kingston is eligible for an annual award under one of BAM’s Long-term Share Ownership Plans.
In addition, Mr. Kingston is eligible for awards under BN Long-Term Share Ownership Plans. In 2025, Mr. Kingston’s Long-Term
Incentive Value was awarded as BN compensation.
(c) Mr. Madon is not eligible for an annual incentive. His compensation consists of a Base Salary
and an award under one of BAM’s Long-Term Share Ownership Plans. In addition, Mr. Madon is eligible for BN compensation, including
Long-Term Share Ownership Plans. In 2025, Mr. Madon received $2,680,200 in Long-Term Incentive Value as BN compensation in his capacity
as Executive Vice Chair of BN.
The GNCC considered these awards to be aligned
with the compensation approach of rewarding long-term value creation and consistent with BAM’s compensation philosophy of providing a
significant portion of executive compensation in the form of long-term equity-based awards.
The Named Executive Officers also received an
annual contribution to a retirement savings plan. Their participation in these retirement savings plans is on the same basis as all other
employees of BAM subject to geographic and market differentials, and they do not have any entitlement to future pension benefits or other
post-employment benefits from BAM. As a result, BAM has no post-employment obligation to provide pension, medical or other employee benefits
to the Named Executive Officers.
Named Executive Officer Compensation Mix
On average, approximately 70% of the value of
compensation awarded to our Named Executive Officers for 2025, excluding Mr. Flatt, is in the form of long-term incentive awards.
Approximately 90% of the value of compensation awarded to Mr. Flatt for 2025 is in the form of long-term share ownership awards.
The actual value of this compensation, which is earned over time, depends upon the performance of the Class A Shares. The compensation
mix for the Named Executive Officers, in 2025, is set out in the table below.

Chief Executive Officer Ownership Interests in BAM
Consistent with BAM’s philosophy of aligning the
interests of management and shareholders and fostering an entrepreneurial environment that encourages a focus on long-term value creation,
Mr. Flatt has, over his 36 years with Brookfield, and as a result of the treatment of outstanding long-term incentive awards in the
Arrangement, accumulated a number of ownership interests in BAM in the form of DSUs and Escrowed Shares. In addition, and separate from
any compensation arrangements, but relevant to the extent it aligns Mr. Flatt’s interests with shareholders, Mr. Flatt owns
a significant number of Class A Shares. These ownership interests are held both directly and through ownership in Partners Value
Investments L.P. (see “Principal Holders of Voting Shares” on page 6 of this Circular).

(a) Messrs. Flatt and Madon’s compensation consists of an annual Base Salary and Escrowed Shares.
Each other Named Executive Officer is awarded an annual incentive which they can elect to receive in cash, DSUs or Restricted Shares.
(b) Mr. Flatt also received compensation paid by BN in recognition of his role as CEO of BN for the
year ended December 31, 2025. Such compensation consisted of a salary of $375,000 and an Escrowed Share award with a grant date fair
value of $5,360,400 based on the grant date price of a BN Class A Share on the NYSE on February 23, 2026 of $47.11. This value
awarded is determined by the BN board of directors and considers the stock market price of the BN Class A Shares at the time of the
award and the potential increase in value based on a hold period of 7.5 years, a volatility of 30.71%, a risk free rate of 3.88% and a
dividend yield of 0.8%. This values has been discounted by 25% to reflect the five-year vesting.
(c) To provide for alignment with BN (as majority shareholder of BAM) consistent with that of other BAM
Named Executive Officers, Mr. Teskey also received an award of BN Escrowed Shares granted by BN on February 23, 2026. The BN
Escrowed Shares have a grant date fair value of $6,700,500 based on the grant date price of a BN Class A Share on the NYSE on February 23,
2026 of $47.11.This value awarded is determined by the BN board of directors and considers the stock market price of the BN Class A
Shares at the time of the award and the potential increase in value based on a hold period of 7.5 years, a volatility of 30.71%, a risk
free rate of 3.88% and a dividend yield of 0.8%. This value has been discounted by 25% to reflect the five-year vesting.
(d) The 2025 Escrowed Shares amount for Mr. Kingston reflects an award of BN Escrowed Shares granted
by BN on February 23, 2026. The BN Escrowed Shares have a grant date fair value of $5,360,400 based on the grant date price of a
BN Class A Share on the NYSE on February 23, 2026 of $47.11. This value awarded is determined by the BN board of directors and
considers the stock market price of the BN Class A Shares at the time of the award and the potential increase in value based on a
hold period of 7.5 years, a volatility of 30.71%, a risk free rate of 3.88% and a dividend yield of 0.8%. This value has been discounted
by 25% to reflect the five-year vesting.
(e) Mr. Madon also received compensation paid by BN in recognition of his role as Executive Vice Chair
of BN for the year ended December 31, 2025. Such compensation consisted of a salary of $375,000 and an Escrowed Share award with
a grant date fair value of $2,680,200 based on the grant date price of a BN Class A Share on the NYSE on February 23, 2026
of $47.11. This value awarded is determined by the BN board of directors and considers the stock market price of the BN Class A Shares
at the time of the award and the potential increase in value based on a hold period of 7.5 years, a volatility of 30.71%, a risk free
rate of 3.88% and a dividend yield of 0.8%. This value has been discounted by 25% to reflect the five-year vesting.
(f) The amounts for 2025 reflect grants of BAM Escrowed Shares for all Named Executive Officers
except for Mr. Kingston whose amount reflects a grant of BN Escrowed Shares. The value awarded under the Escrowed Stock Plan
for annual grants is determined by the Board and considers the stock market price of the Class A Shares at the time of the
award and the potential increase in value based on a hold period of 7.5 years, a volatility of 31.34%, a risk free rate of 3.88% and
a dividend yield of 4.94%. These values, for the annual grants, have been discounted by 25% to reflect the five-year
vesting.
(g) These amounts include annual retirement savings contributions
and participation in the executive medical program. These amounts also include advance payments in 2023, 2024 and 2025 made to Mr. Teskey
under the carried interest plans for Brookfield Capital Partners IV.

Security-Based Compensation Arrangements
BAM’s only security-based compensation arrangements are its Option
Plans and its Escrowed Stock Plan.
2022 Management Share Option Plan
The 2022 Management Share Option Plan (the “2022
Plan”) was approved by the BN board of directors on September 23, 2022 and by the holders of Class A Shares of BN at the
Special Meeting of Shareholders held on November 9, 2022. The 2022 Plan provides for the issuance of 17,500,000 Class A Shares
(representing approximately 1.07% of BAM’s issued and outstanding Class A Shares as at December 31, 2025. Options to acquire
8,559,987 Class A Shares have been granted but not exercised, representing approximately 0.52% of BAM’s issued and outstanding Class A
Shares as at December 31, 2025. 3,520,804 Class A Shares are available for future option grants, representing approximately
0.21% of BAM’s issued and outstanding Class A Shares as at December 31, 2025.
2022 Non-Qualified Management Share Option Plan
The 2022 Non-Qualified Management Share Option
Plan (the “2022 Non-Qualified Plan”) was approved by the BN Board on September 23, 2022 and by the holders of Class A
Shares of BN at the Special Meeting of Shareholder held on November 9, 2022. The 2022 Non-Qualified Plan provides for the issuance
of 12,500,000 Class A Shares (representing approximately 0.76% of BAM’s issued and outstanding Class A Shares as at December 31,
2025. As at December 31, 2025, 960,561 Class A Shares were issuable pursuant to options granted under the 2022 Non-Qualified
Plan, representing approximately 0.06% of BAM’s issued and outstanding Class A Shares as at December 31, 2025. As at December 31,
2025, 11,440,343 Class A Shares remained available for future option grants, representing 0.70% of BAM’s issued and outstanding Class A
Shares as at December 31, 2025.
2026 Plan
The 2026 Plan was approved by the Board on February 3,
2026 and approval of the 2026 Plan by shareholders is being sought at the meeting. The 2026 Plan provides for the issuance of 20 million
Class A Shares (representing approximately 1.22% of BAM’s issued and outstanding Class A Shares as at December 31, 2025).
No options to acquire Class A Shares under the 2026 Plan have been granted. If the 2026 Plan is approved by shareholders at the meeting,
the Class A Shares which remain available for future option grants under the 2022 Plan will remain available for future option grants
under the 2022 Plan.
General Terms of Option Plans
The Board establishes the exercise price of each
option at the time it is granted, which may not be less than the volume-weighted average price of a Class A Share on the NYSE for
the five trading days preceding the effective grant date. If options are approved during a restricted trading period, the effective grant
date may not be less than six business days after the restricted trading period ends.
2026 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR/ 60
The following is a summary of the other key provisions
of the Option Plans. Employees, officers and consultants of BAM and its affiliates and others designated by the Board are eligible to
participate in the Option Plans. Non-employee directors are not eligible to participate in the Option Plans. The number of Class A
Shares issuable to insiders at any time, or issued in any one year to insiders, under any of BAM’s security-based compensation arrangements
cannot exceed in either case 10% of the issued and outstanding shares of this class; and no more than 5% of the issued and outstanding
shares may be issued under these arrangements to any one person. The Board determines the vesting period for each option grant, which
is normally 20% per year over five years commencing the first year after the grant. The Board also sets the expiry period for each option
grant, which may not exceed 10 years, except where the expiry date falls during or shortly after a restricted trading period, in which
case the expiry date is 10 days after the restricted trading period ends.
The Option Plans set out provisions regarding
the exercise and cancellation of options following a change in the employment status of a plan participant. In general, all vested options
must be exercised by, and all unvested options are cancelled on, a participant’s termination date, except as follows: in the event of
termination by BAM for reasons other than cause or due to a continuous leave of absence as a result of a disability, vested options must
be exercised within 60 days following the termination date; in the event of retirement, vested options continue to be exercisable until
the applicable expiry date; and in the event of death, all granted options continue to vest and be exercisable for six months following
death. No incremental entitlements are triggered by a change in control of BAM under the Option Plans.
The Option Plans permit participants to exercise
vested options in exchange for a number of Class A Shares equivalent in value to (i) the aggregate fair market value of the
Class A Shares underlying the options on the exercise date over the aggregate exercise price of the options, less (ii) applicable
withholding taxes (only to the extent such taxes have not otherwise been satisfied by the participant). This provides for a reduction
in shareholder dilution upon the exercise of options using this feature.
The Option Plans also provide that each person
that is an officer, employee or consultant of BN or any of its affiliates shall, for so long as such person remains an officer, employee
or consultant of BN or any of its affiliates, be permitted to hold and exercise his or her options in accordance with their terms as though
such person was an officer, employee or consultant, as applicable, of BAM or any of its affiliates. The 2022 Plan also permits participants
to pay the applicable exercise price and acquire the full number of Class A Shares underlying the options.
Procedure for Amending Option Plans
The Option Plans contain an amending provision
setting out the types of amendments which can be approved by the Board without shareholder approval and those which require shareholder
approval. Shareholder approval is required for any amendment that increases the number of shares issuable under the Option Plans, that
lengthens the period of time after a restricted trading period during which options may be exercised, results in the exercise price being
lower than fair market value of a Class A Share at the date of grant, reduces the exercise price or any cancellation and reissuance
of an option which would be considered a repricing under TSX rules, expands insider participation, extends the term of an option beyond
its expiry date, adds a provision which results in participants receiving shares for no consideration or other amendments required by
law to be approved by shareholders. The Option Plans also require shareholder approval for any amendment which would permit options to
be transferable or assignable other than for normal estate planning purposes, any amendment to the amendment provisions, any amendment
expanding the categories of eligible participants which may permit the introduction or reintroduction of non-employee directors on a discretionary
basis and any amendment to remove or exceed the insider participation limit. Shareholder approval is not required for any amendment to
the Option Plans or any option that is of a housekeeping or administrative nature, that is necessary to comply with applicable laws or
to qualify for favorable tax treatment, that is to the vesting, termination or early termination provisions (provided that the amendment
does not entail an extension beyond the expiry period of the options), that adds or modifies a cashless exercise feature that provides
for a full deduction of the number of Class A Shares from the Option Plan reserve, and to suspend or terminate an Option Plan. No
amendments to the Option Plans were made in 2025.
Other Features of the Option Plans
BAM does not provide any financial assistance
to plan participants to facilitate the purchase of Class A Shares issued pursuant to the exercise of options under the Option Plans.
Options granted under the Option Plans may be assigned by the plan participant to (i) his or her spouse, descendants or any other
immediate family member; or (ii) a trust, the beneficiaries of which are one or more of the plan participant and the participant’s
spouse, descendants or immediate family members; or
2026 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR/ 61
(iii) a corporation or limited liability
company controlled by the plan participant or by one or more of the participant and the participant’s spouse, and/or the immediate family
members, the shares or interests of which are held directly or indirectly by the plan participant, participant’s spouse and/or immediate
family members; or (iv) such other transferees for estate planning purposes as may be permitted by the Board in its discretion.
The Board, on the recommendation of the GNCC,
approves all option awards. The GNCC recommends the long-term incentive award for the CEO. All other option awards are recommended by
the CEO to the GNCC.
BAM has established a number of policies related
to its long-term share ownership plans, including option exercise hold periods, to reinforce the importance of equity ownership by its
senior executives over the longer term. See also “Key Policies and Practices to Support Alignment” on page 51 of this Circular.
The Escrowed Stock Plan
The Escrowed Stock Plan was approved by the BN
board of directors on September 23, 2022 and by holders of Class A Shares of BN at the Special Meeting of Shareholders held
on November 9, 2022. The Escrowed Stock Plan governs the award of Escrowed Shares of one or more Escrowed Company to executives or
other individuals designated by the Board. Each Escrowed Company is capitalized with common shares and preferred shares issued to BAM
or BN in exchange for shares of Brookfield Asset Management ULC, Class A Shares or cash proceeds. Each Escrowed Company may use its
cash resources to directly or indirectly purchase Class A Shares in the open market or, subject to obtaining exemptive relief (if
applicable), in private purchases. Participants are either awarded Escrowed Shares or provided an election to contribute Class A
Shares or previously awarded Escrowed Shares as consideration for the Escrowed Shares. Dividends paid to each Escrowed Company on the
shares of Brookfield Asset Management ULC or the Class A Shares acquired by the Escrowed Company will be used to pay dividends on
the preferred shares which are held by BAM or BN. If a participant elects to contribute Class A Shares as consideration, dividends
paid to the Escrowed Company on the contributed Class A Shares will be paid on the common shares held by the participants.
Except as otherwise determined by the Board, 20%
of Escrowed Shares will vest on the first anniversary of the granting of such shares, with an additional 20% vesting on each subsequent
anniversary, up to and including the fifth anniversary of the grant of the Escrowed Shares.
On date(s) determined by the holders of the
Escrowed Shares no later than 10 years after the initial grant, the vested Escrowed Shares will be acquired by BAM in exchange for the
issuance of Class A Shares from treasury, where the value of the Class A Shares being issued is equal to the value of the Escrowed
Shares being acquired. The value of the Escrowed Shares will be equal to the increase in value of the Class A Shares and shares of
Brookfield Asset Management ULC held by the Escrowed Company since the grant date of the Escrowed Shares, as applicable, based on the
volume-weighted average price of a Class A Share on the NYSE on the date of the exchange. Participants are not permitted to exchange
Escrowed Shares during a restricted trading period, except with the consent of the Board. Once all participants of an Escrowed Company
have elected to exchange their Escrowed Shares, the Escrowed Company will be wound up or merged and BAM will cancel at least that number
of Class A Shares that is equivalent to the number of Class A Shares that have been issued to holders of the Escrowed Shares
of the Escrowed Company on exchanges such that the dilutive effect of the issuance of Class A Shares is wholly offset.
A maximum of 11,000,000 Class A Shares may
be issued under the Escrowed Stock Plan, representing approximately 0.67% of BAM’s issued and outstanding Class A Shares as at December 31,
2025. When Class A Shares are issued in exchange for Escrowed Shares, the number of Class A Shares remaining for future issuance
under the Escrowed Stock Plan will be reduced. On the wind-up or merger of an Escrowed Company, the number of Class A Shares held
by one or more Escrowed Companies that are cancelled in respect of Class A Shares issued by BAM in exchange for Escrowed Shares are
added back to the number of Class A Shares available for future issuance. The combined effect on wind-up or merger of an Escrowed
Company is that the dilutive effect of the Class A Share issuance is wholly offset. 186,136 Class A Shares have been issued
(representing approximately 0.01% of BAM’s issued and outstanding Class A Shares as at December 31, 2025) and 110,038 Class A
Shares have been cancelled under the Escrowed Stock Plan. As at December 31, 2025, 10,923,902 Class A Shares are available for
future issuance, representing approximately 0.67% of BAM’s issued and outstanding Class A Shares as at December 31, 2025.
2026 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR/ 62
Eligibility for participation in the Escrowed
Stock Plan is restricted to designated executives of BAM and its affiliates or any other persons designated by the Board. The number of
Escrowed Shares to be granted to each participant is determined at the discretion of the Board, on the recommendation of the GNCC. The
GNCC recommends the award of Escrowed Shares for the CEO. All other awards of Escrowed Shares are recommended by the CEO to the GNCC.
The number of Class A Shares issuable to insiders at any time, or issued in any one year to insiders, under any of BAM’s security-based
compensation arrangements cannot exceed in either case 10% of the issued and outstanding shares of this class; and no more than 5% of
the issued and outstanding shares may be issued under these arrangements to any one person. Aside from transfers to BAM (in the case of
termination of employment, described in the table under “Termination and Change of Control Provisions” on page 53 of this
Circular) or for personal tax planning purposes, transfers of Escrowed Shares are not permitted. No incremental entitlements are triggered
by a change in control of BAM under the Escrowed Stock Plan.
The number of Escrowed Shares granted under the
Escrowed Stock Plan annually, expressed as a percentage of the weighted average number of Class A Shares outstanding in the year,
was 0.15% in 2023, 0.29% in 2024, and 0% in 2025. See also “Dilution of Class A Shares” on page 63 of this Circular
for information on the rate of Class A Share issuances under the Escrowed Stock Plan.
The Escrowed Stock Plan also provides that each
person that is an officer, employee or consultant of BN or any of its affiliates shall, for so long as such person remains an officer,
employee or consultant of BN or any of its affiliates, be permitted to hold and exchange his or her Escrowed Shares in accordance with
their terms as though such person was an officer, employee or consultant, as applicable, of BAM or any of its affiliates.
Recent and Proposed Amendments to the Escrowed Stock Plan
The Board has approved amendments to the Escrowed
Stock Plan that requires shareholder approval at the meeting. See “Amendments to Escrowed Stock Plan” on page 20 of this
Circular for further details.
Procedure for Amending Escrowed Stock Plan
The Escrowed Stock Plan contains an amending provision
setting out the types of amendments which can be approved by the Board without shareholder approval and those which require shareholder
approval. Shareholder approval is required for any amendment that increases the number of Class A Shares issuable under the Escrowed
Stock Plan, expands insider participation, expands participation to include non-employee directors of BAM, any amendment to the amendment
provisions or other amendments required by law to be approved by shareholders. Shareholder approval is not required for any amendment
to the Escrowed Stock Plan that is of a housekeeping or administrative nature, that is necessary to comply with applicable laws or to
qualify for favorable tax treatment, that is to vesting provisions, that is to the termination or early termination provisions (provided
that the amendment does not entail an extension beyond the tenth anniversary of the award date for any particular Escrowed Company), and
to suspend or terminate the Escrowed Stock Plan.

Plan, the Escrowed Stock Plan continues to be non-dilutive as BAM will cancel Class A Shares held by Escrowed Companies that are
wound up or merged.
Grants Issued as a Percentage of Shares Outstanding
The following table shows the number of Class A
Shares issuable under awards granted under each of the Option Plans and the Escrowed Stock Plan as a percentage of the average Class A
Shares outstanding (the “rate of grants issued”) in the
2026 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR/ 63
applicable year. The rate of grants issued is
defined as the number of Class A Shares issuable under awards granted in a fiscal year, divided by the basic weighted average number
of Class A Shares outstanding in that year.

(b) Includes Class A Shares issuable on exchange as of each fiscal year end for information purposes.
Although the number of Class A Shares outstanding may increase over time as a result of issuances of Class A Shares pursuant
to the Escrowed Stock Plan, the Escrowed Stock Plan continues to be non-dilutive as BAM will cancel Class A Shares held by Escrowed
Companies that are wound up or merged.

PART SIX - OTHER INFORMATION
Indebtedness of Directors, Officers and Employees
The amount of debt outstanding by current and
former directors, officers and employees of BAM as at March 10, 2026 to BAM and its subsidiaries is approximately $21.2 million,
which loans bear interest at a minimum rate of 2.25%. The purpose of such loans is to enable certain employees of BAM to fund certain
near-term expenses without monetizing previously granted equity awards under Brookfield’s long-term share ownership plans, thereby preserving
long-term alignment with BAM.
Audit Committee
Additional information about the Audit Committee required by
Part 5 of NI 52-110 can be found on page 26 of this Circular. BAM’s Audit Committee Charter is posted on BAM’s website, https://bam.brookfield.com
under “Governance—Governance Documents”.
Share Repurchase Program
Class A Limited Voting Shares
On January 9, 2026, BAM renewed its share
repurchase program for market purchases of its Class A Shares for a period extending from January 13, 2026 until January 12,
2027, or an earlier date should BAM complete its purchases. The share repurchase program allows BAM to repurchase, during the period mentioned
above, on the NYSE or TSX, a maximum of 36.9 million Class A Shares, representing approximately 10% of the public float of the outstanding
Class A Shares. All Class A Shares acquired by BAM under the share repurchase program are cancelled or purchased by a non-independent
trustee to support our long-term incentive plan.
The share repurchase program is in place because
BAM believes that, from time to time, the trading price of Class A Shares may not fully reflect the underlying value of BAM’s business
and future business prospects, and in such circumstances acquiring Class A Shares may represent an attractive investment. Between
January 13, 2026 and March 10, 2026, BAM has purchased 3,683,352 Class A Shares at an average price of $48.37. Shareholders
may obtain, free of charge, a copy of the notice of intent regarding the share repurchase program, which was approved by the TSX, by writing
to the Corporate Secretary of BAM at Brookfield Place, 225 Liberty Street, 8th Floor, New York, NY 10281-1048.
Cautionary Statement Regarding the Use of Non-GAAP
Measures and Forward-Looking Statements
BAM prepares its financial statements in conformity
with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). This Circular discloses a number
of non-GAAP financial and supplemental financial measures which are utilized in monitoring our asset management business, including for
performance measurement, capital allocation and valuation purposes. BAM believes that providing these performance measures is helpful
to investors in assessing the overall performance of our asset management business. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered
as the sole measure of BAM’s performance and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, similar financial measures
calculated in conformity with U.S. GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized financial measures and
may not be comparable to similar financial measures used by other issuers. Non-GAAP measures include, but are not limited to, distributable
earnings, fee revenues, and fee-related earnings. Supplemental financial measures include assets under management, fee-bearing capital
and uncalled fund commitments. See page 59 of the Annual Report for further information on non-GAAP financial measures or other financial
metrics and reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented
in accordance with U.S. GAAP, where applicable, which pages are also incorporated by reference in this Circular.
This Circular also contains forward-looking statements
and forward-looking information (collectively, “forward-looking statements”) within the meaning of U.S. and Canadian securities
laws, as applicable. See pages 4, 7, and 8 of the Annual Report for further information on forward-looking statements, which pages are
also incorporated by reference in this Circular. The Annual Report is available on EDGAR at www.sec.gov/edgar
and SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.
2026 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR/ 65
Availability of Disclosure Documents
BAM will provide any person or company, upon request
in accordance with the directions in the Notice, a copy of this Circular and the Annual Report. Upon request to the Corporate Secretary
of BAM, BAM will provide any person or company the Annual Report, together with a copy of any document or the pertinent pages of
any document incorporated therein by reference; management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operation from
its most recently completed financial year (“MD&A”) and/or the interim financial statements of BAM for the periods subsequent
to the end of its fiscal year (the “Interim Statements”). Financial information on BAM is provided in its comparative annual
financial statements and MD&A. Requests for the Annual Report, MD&A and the Interim Statements can be made to BAM by mail at Brookfield

2026 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR/A- 1
3. Composition and Procedures
(a) Size of Board and Selection Process — The directors of the Corporation are elected each year by
the shareholders at the annual meeting of shareholders. The Governance, Nominating and Compensation Committee recommends to the full Board
the nominees for election to the Board and the Board proposes individual nominees to the shareholders for election. Any shareholder may
propose a nominee for election to the Board either by means of a shareholder proposal or at the annual meeting itself, upon compliance
with the requirements prescribed by the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). The Board also recommends the number of directors
on the Board to shareholders for approval. Between annual meetings, the Board may appoint directors to serve until the next annual meeting.
(b) Qualifications — Directors should have the highest personal and professional ethics and values and
be committed to advancing the best interests of the Corporation. They should possess skills and competencies in areas that are relevant
to the Corporation’s activities. The Lead Independent Director and, other than in temporary circumstances2, a majority of the
directors will be Independent Directors, based on the rules and guidelines of applicable stock exchanges and securities regulatory
authorities, and Unaffiliated Directors. The Board is committed to developing and promoting diversity, including ethnic and gender diversity.
The Board has adopted a gender diversity target that at least 30% of the entire Board be women.
(c) Director Education and Orientation — The Corporation’s management team is responsible for providing
an orientation program for new directors in respect of the Corporation and the role and responsibilities of directors. In addition, directors
will, as required, receive continuing education about the Corporation to maintain a current understanding of the Corporation’s business
and operations, industries and sectors in which we operate globally, material developments and trends in asset management and the Corporation’s
strategic initiatives.
(d) Meetings — The Chair is responsible for approving the agenda for each Board meeting. Prior to each
Board meeting, the Chair of the Board reviews agenda items for the meeting with the CEO, Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary,
before circulation to the full Board. The Board meets at least once each quarter to review and approve the Corporation’s quarterly earnings
report and consider dividend payments and to review specific items of business including transactions and strategic initiatives. The Board
holds additional meetings as necessary to consider special business. The Board also meets once a year to review the Corporation’s annual
business plan and long-term strategy. Materials for each meeting are distributed to the directors in advance of the meeting. At the conclusion
of each Board meeting, the independent and unaffiliated directors meet without any other person present. The Lead Independent Director
chairs these in-camera sessions.
(e) Committees — The Board has established the following standing committees to assist it in discharging
its responsibilities: (i) Audit and (ii) Governance, Nominating and Compensation. Special committees are established, from time
to time, to assist the Board in connection with specific matters. The Chair of each committee reports to the Board following meetings
of their committee. The governing charter of each standing committee is reviewed and approved annually by the Board.
(f) Evaluation — The Governance, Nominating and Compensation Committee performs an annual evaluation
of the effectiveness of the Board as a whole, the standing committees of the Board and the contributions of individual directors and provides
a report to the Board on the findings of this process. In addition, each individual director and each standing committee assesses its own
performance annually.
(g) Compensation — The Governance, Nominating and Compensation Committee recommends to the Board the
compensation for non-management directors (it is the policy of the Corporation that management directors do not receive compensation for
their service on the Board). In reviewing the adequacy and form of compensation, the Governance, Nominating and Compensation Committee
seeks to ensure that director compensation reflects the responsibilities and risks involved in being a director of the Corporation and
aligns the interests of the directors with the best interests of the Corporation.
2 Temporary
circumstances include vacancies or changes to the Board’s composition or size that are approved by the Board in its discretion, provided
that the duration of such circumstances is expected to be less than one year.
2026 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR/A- 2

legal or other advisors at the expense of the Corporation. Any director may, subject to the approval of the Chair of the Board, retain
an outside advisor at the expense of the Corporation.
(i) Charter of Expectations — The Board has adopted a Charter of Expectations for Directors which
outlines the basic duties and responsibilities of directors and the expectations the Corporation places on them in terms of
professional and personal competencies, performance, behavior, share ownership, conflicts of interest, change of circumstances and
resignation events. Among other things, the Charter of Expectations outlines the role of directors in stakeholder engagement and the
