MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR

as at July 22, 2025 (except as otherwise indicated)

This management information circular (the “Circular”) is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the management of Alset AI Ventures Inc. (the “Company”) for use at the annual and special meeting (the “Meeting”) of the holders (collectively, the “Shareholders” or individually, a “Shareholder”) of common shares (“Common Shares”) in the capital of the Company. The Meeting will be held on Tuesday, August 26, 2025 at 11:00 a.m. (Toronto Time) at the offices of Aird & Berlis LLP, Brookfield Place, Suite 1800, 181 Bay Street, Toronto, Ontario, M5J 2T9. This Circular and the attached Notice of Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders (the “Notice”) describes the item to be voted on at the Meeting.

In this Circular, references to the “Company”, “we” and “our” refer to Alset AI Ventures Inc. “Beneficial Shareholders” means Shareholders who do not hold Common Shares in their own name. “intermediaries” refers to brokers, clearing agencies, securities dealers, banks, trust companies, and similar entities or their nominees that own securities on behalf of Beneficial Shareholders. “Registered Shareholder” means the person whose name appears on the central securities register maintained by or on behalf of the Company and who holds Common Shares in their own name.

All amounts in this Circular are expressed in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise noted.

GENERAL PROXY INFORMATION

Solicitation of Proxies

The solicitation of proxies will be primarily by mail, in relation to delivery of the Meeting proxy materials (together with this Circular, and the attached Notice, the “Meeting Materials”), but proxies may be solicited personally or by telephone by directors, officers and regular employees of the Company. The Company will bear all costs of this solicitation. We have arranged for intermediaries to forward the Meeting Materials to Beneficial Shareholders held of record by those intermediaries and we may reimburse the intermediaries for their reasonable fees and disbursements in that regard.

The Company will pay intermediaries, including Broadridge Financial Solutions Inc. (“Broadridge”), to deliver the Meeting Materials to the non-objecting beneficial shareholders (the “NOBOs”). The Company does not intend to pay for intermediaries to forward to objecting beneficial owners (“OBOs”) under NI 54-101 the Meeting Materials and Form 54-101F7 – Request for Voting Instructions Made by Intermediary, and, in the case of an OBO, the OBO will not receive the Meeting Materials unless the OBO’s intermediary assumes the cost of delivery. The Company is not relying on the notice-and-access provisions of securities laws for delivery of the Meeting Materials to Registered Shareholders or Beneficial Shareholders.

Revocation of Proxies

In addition to revocation in any other manner permitted by law, a Registered Shareholder or a NOBO who has given a proxy may revoke it by:

(a) executing a proxy bearing a later date or by executing a valid notice of revocation, either of the foregoing to be executed by the Registered Shareholder or the Registered


Shareholder’s authorized attorney in writing, or, if the Registered Shareholder is a corporation, under its corporate seal by an officer or attorney duly authorized, and by delivering the accompanying form of proxy (the “Proxy”) bearing a later date or the valid notice of revocation to Endeavor Trust Corporation (“Endeavor Trust”), or to the Company’s registered office at 1500 Royal Centre, 1055 West Georgia Street, P.O. Box 11117, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6E 4N7, at any time up to and including the last business day that precedes the day of the Meeting or, if the Meeting is adjourned, the last business day that precedes any reconvening thereof, or to the chairman of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting or any reconvening thereof, or in any other manner provided by law, or

(b) personally attending the Meeting and voting the Shareholder’s Common Shares.

Copies of the Meeting Materials, the Proxy, and the audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended September 30, 2024, can be found under the Company’s profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

Appointment of Proxyholders

The individuals named in the accompanying Proxy are directors and/or officers of the Company. If you are a Shareholder entitled to vote at the Meeting, you have the right to appoint a person or company other than either of the persons designated in the Proxy, who need not be a Shareholder, to attend and act for you and on your behalf at the Meeting. You may do so either by inserting the name of that other person in the blank space provided in the Proxy or by completing and delivering another suitable form of proxy.

Voting by Proxyholder

The persons named in the Proxy will vote or withhold from voting the Common Shares represented thereby in accordance with your instructions on any ballot that may be called for. If you specify a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, your Common Shares will be voted accordingly. The Proxy confers discretionary authority on the persons named therein with respect to:

(a) each matter or group of matters identified therein for which a choice is not specified, other than the appointment of an auditor and the election of directors;

(b) any amendment to or variation of any matter identified therein; and

(c) any other matter that properly comes before the Meeting.

In respect of a matter for which a choice is not specified in the Proxy, the persons named in the Proxy will vote the Common Shares represented by the Proxy for the approval of such matter.

Registered Shareholders

Registered Shareholders may wish to vote by proxy whether or not they are able to attend the Meeting in person. Registered Shareholders may choose one of the following options to submit their proxy:

(a) complete, date and sign the enclosed form of Proxy and return it to the Company’s transfer agent and registrar, Endeavor Trust, by fax to (604) 559-8908, by mail or by hand to

Page 4 of 30


Endeavor Trust Corporation, Suite 702 - 777 Hornby Street, Vancouver, BC V6Z 1S4, or by email to [email protected]; or

(b) by voting online at www.eproxy.ca, following the instructions provided, and entering the 12-digit control number and password located on his, her or its form of proxy.

In all cases, to be represented at the Meeting, proxies submitted must be received no later than forty-eight (48) hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and statutory holidays, prior to the time of the Meeting or adjournment thereof (unless the Chair of the Meeting determines, in the Chair’s sole discretion, that proxies may be received by delivery to the Meeting scrutineer at the Meeting).

Beneficial Shareholders

The following information is of significant importance to Shareholders who do not hold Common Shares in their own name. Beneficial Shareholders should note that the only proxies that can be recognized and acted upon at the Meeting are those deposited by Registered Shareholders (those whose names appear on the records of the Company as the registered holders of Common Shares) or as set out in the following disclosure.

If Common Shares are listed in an account statement provided to a Shareholder by a broker, then in almost all cases those Common Shares will not be registered in the Shareholder’s name on the records of the Company. Such Common Shares will more likely be registered under the name of the Shareholder’s broker or an agent of that broker (an “intermediary”). In Canada, the vast majority of such Common Shares are registered under the name of CDS & Co. (the registration name for The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited, which acts as nominee for many Canadian brokerage firms); and in the United States, the vast majority of such Common Shares are registered under the name of Cede & Co. as nominee for The Depository Trust Company (which acts as depository for many U.S. brokerage firms and custodian banks).

Intermediaries are required to seek voting instructions from Beneficial Shareholders in advance of shareholder meetings. Every intermediary has its own mailing procedures and provides its own return instructions to clients.

You should carefully follow the instructions of your broker or intermediary in order to ensure that your Common Shares are voted at the Meeting.

The form of proxy supplied to you by your broker will be similar to the Proxy provided to Registered Shareholders by the Company. However, its purpose is limited to instructing the intermediary on how to vote your Common Shares on your behalf. Most brokers now delegate responsibility for obtaining instructions from clients to Broadridge in the United States and in Canada. Broadridge mails a voting instruction form (“VIF”) in lieu of a proxy provided by the Company. The VIF will name the same persons as the Company’s Proxy to represent your Common Shares at the Meeting. You have the right to appoint a person (who need not be a Beneficial Shareholder of the Company), other than any of the persons designated in the VIF, to represent your Common Shares at the Meeting, and that person may be you. To exercise this right, please insert the name of the desired representative (which may be yourself) in the blank space provided in the VIF. The completed VIF must then be returned to Broadridge by mail or facsimile or given to Broadridge via the internet, in accordance with Broadridge’s instructions. Broadridge then tabulates the results of all instructions received and provides appropriate instructions respecting the voting of Common Shares to be represented at the Meeting, and the appointment of any Shareholder’s representative. If you receive a VIF from Broadridge, the VIF must be completed and returned to Broadridge, in accordance with Broadridge’s instructions, well in advance of the Meeting in order to have your Common Shares voted at the Meeting.

Notice to Shareholders in the United States

The solicitation of Proxies involves securities of an issuer located in Canada and is being effected in accordance with the corporate laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada and securities laws of the provinces of Canada. The Proxy solicitation rules under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, are not applicable to the Company or this solicitation, and this solicitation has been prepared in accordance with the disclosure requirements of the securities laws of the provinces of Canada. Shareholders should be aware that disclosure requirements under the securities laws of the provinces of Canada differ from the disclosure requirements under U.S. securities laws.

The enforcement by shareholders of civil liabilities under U.S. federal securities laws may be affected adversely by the fact that the Company is incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the "BCA"), as amended, certain of its directors and its executive officers are residents of Canada and a substantial portion of its assets and the assets of such persons are located outside the U.S. Shareholders may not be able to sue a foreign corporation or its officers or directors in a foreign court for violations of U.S. federal securities laws. It may be difficult to compel a foreign corporation and its officers and directors to subject themselves to a judgment by a U.S. court.

VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS THEREOF

The Company has fixed the close of business on Tuesday, July 22, 2025 as the record date (the "Record Date") for the purposes of determining Shareholders entitled to receive the Notice and vote at the Meeting. In accordance with the provisions of the BCA, the Company will prepare a list of the holders of Common Shares on the Record Date. Each holder of Common Shares named on the list will be entitled to vote the Common Shares shown opposite his, her or its name on the list at the Meeting.

As of the Record Date, there were 148,057,433 Common Shares issued and outstanding, each carrying the right to one vote. No group of shareholders has the right to elect a specified number of directors, nor are there cumulative or similar voting rights attached to the Common Shares. The Company is also authorized to issue an unlimited number of preferred shares. As at the Record Date, there were no preferred shares issued and outstanding.

To the knowledge of the directors and executive officers of the Company, as at the date of this Circular, no persons or corporations beneficially own, directly or indirectly, or exercise control or direction over, Common Shares carrying more than 10% of the voting rights attached to all outstanding Common Shares.

STATEMENT OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION – VENTURE ISSUERS

For the purposes of this Circular:

"compensation securities" includes stock options, convertible securities, exchangeable securities and similar instruments including stock appreciation rights, deferred share units and restricted stock units granted or issued by the company or one of its subsidiaries for services provided or to be provided, directly or indirectly, to the company or any of its subsidiaries;

"external management company" includes a subsidiary, affiliate or associate of the external management company;

Exercise of Compensation Securities by NEOs and Directors

There were no compensation securities exercised by any of the NEOs or directors of the Company during financial year ended September 30, 2024.

Equity Incentive Plans

During the financial year ended September 30, 2024, the Company had a Share Option Plan dated January 31, 2018, as amended and restated on October 28, 2022 (the "Option Plan") to reflect recent amendments to the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV"). The Option Plan was most recently approved by shareholders of the Company ("Shareholders") at the annual general meeting of Shareholders held on December 13, 2023. A copy of the Option Plan is attached as Schedule "A" to the Company's information circular dated November 7, 2022 (the "2022 Circular") prepared for the annual general meeting of Shareholders held on December 13, 2022 (the "2022 Meeting").

On March 27, 2024, the Board adopted an Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "Omnibus Plan") to replace the Option Plan, which was subsequently approved by Shareholders at the annual general and special meeting of Shareholders held on June 13, 2024 (the "2024 Meeting"). On July 21, 2025, the Company amended the Omnibus Plan to increase the aggregate maximum number of Common Shares reserved for issuance pursuant to the award of RSUs from 9,423,033 to 14,780,743 (the "Omnibus Plan Amendment"). The Company is requesting approval of Shareholders of the Omnibus Plan Amendment at the Meeting. The TSXV has conditionally approved the Omnibus Plan Amendment, with final approval subject to receipt of confirmation of the approval of Shareholders at the Meeting. For further information on the terms of the Omnibus Plan, refer to the heading "Omnibus Plan (Option-Based and Share-Based Awards)" below.

Page 9 of 30


10% Rolling Share Option Plan (Option-Based Awards)

The number of Common Shares which may be issued pursuant to Options granted under the Option Plan is a maximum of 10% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, on a non-diluted basis, at the time of the grant.

The purpose of the Option Plan is to advance the interests of the Company by encouraging the directors, employees and consultants of the Company and of its subsidiaries or affiliates, if any, by providing them with the opportunity, through Options, to acquire Common Shares in the capital of the Company, thereby increasing their proprietary interest in the Company, encouraging them to remain associated with the Company and furnishing them with additional incentive in their efforts on behalf of the Company in the conduct of its affairs.

Summary of Material Terms

The material terms of the Option Plan are set forth below. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined below shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Option Plan.

Service Provider – Service Providers are eligible for awards of Options under the Option Plan. “Service Provider” means a person who is a bona fide Director, Officer, Employee, Management Company Employee, Consultant or Company Consultant, and also includes a company, 100% of the share capital of which is beneficially owned by one or more Service Providers.

Maximum Plan Shares – The maximum aggregate number of Plan Shares that may be reserved for issuance under the Plan at any point in time is equal to 10% of the Outstanding Shares at the time Plan Shares are reserved for issuance as a result of the grant of an Option, less any Common Shares reserved for issuance under any other Share Compensation Arrangements unless this Plan is amended pursuant to the requirements of the TSX Venture Policies (and, if applicable, NEX Policies).

Limitations on Issue – The following restrictions on issuances of Options are applicable under the Option Plan, together with all other Share Compensation Arrangements:

(a) no Service Provider can be granted an Option if that Option would result in the total number of Options, together with all other Share Compensation Arrangements granted to such Service Provider in the previous 12 months, exceeding 5% of the Outstanding Shares, unless the Company has obtained “Disinterested Shareholder Approval” (as defined in the Option Plan to mean approval evidenced by a majority of the votes cast by all the Shareholders at a duly constituted Shareholders’ meeting, excluding votes attached to Common Shares beneficially owned by Insiders of the Company who are Service Providers or their Associates);

(b) the aggregate number of Options, together with any other Share Compensation Arrangement, granted to all Investor Relations Service Providers in any 12-month period cannot exceed 2% of the Outstanding Shares, calculated at the time of grant, without the prior consent of the TSXV (or NEX, as the case may be);

(c) the aggregate number of Options granted, together with any other Share Compensation Arrangements, granted to any one Consultant in any 12 month period cannot exceed 2% of the Outstanding Shares, calculated at the time of grant, without the prior consent of the TSXV (or the NEX, as the case may be);

Page 10 of 30


(d) for so long as such limitation is required by the TSX Venture, the maximum number of Options which may be granted within any twelve (12) months period to Service Providers who perform investor relations activities must not exceed 2% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, and such Options must vest in stages over twelve (12) months with no more than 25% vesting in any three month period. In addition, the maximum number of Common Shares that may be granted to any one Consultant under this Plan, together with any other Share Compensation Arrangements, within a twelve (12) month period, may not exceed 2% of the issued Common Shares calculated on the date of grant.

Investor Relations Service Providers cannot receive any security based compensation other than Options.

  1. Maximum Percentage to Insiders – Subject to Disinterested Shareholder Approval, the aggregate number of Common Shares reserved for issuance to Insiders of the Company under the Option Plan, together with any other Share Compensation Arrangements, cannot exceed 10% of the Outstanding Shares.

  1. Amendments Requiring Disinterested Shareholder Approval - The Company will be required to obtain Disinterested Shareholder Approval prior to any of the following actions becoming effective:

(a) the Option Plan, together with all of the Company’s other previous Share Compensation Arrangements, could result at any time in:

(i) the aggregate number of Common Shares reserved for issuance to Insiders exceeding 10% of the Outstanding Shares;

(ii) the aggregate number of Common Shares reserved for issuance to Insiders within a 12-month period exceeding 10% of the Outstanding Shares; or

  2. Black-out Period - The Option Plan also contains provision for a “Black-out Period”. Should the Expiry Date for an Option fall within a Black-out Period, such Expiry Date shall, subject to approval of the TSXV (or the NEX, as the case may be), be automatically extended without any further act or formality to that day which is the tenth (10th) Business Day after the end of the Black-out Period, such tenth (10th) Business Day to be considered the Expiry Date for such Option for all purposes under the Option Plan. The tenth (10th) Business Day period referred to herein may not be extended by the Board. “Black-out Period” is defined in the Option Plan to mean an interval of time during which the Company has determined that one or more Participants may not trade any securities of the Company because they may be in possession of undisclosed material information pertaining to the Company, or when in anticipation of the release of quarterly or annual financials, to avoid potential conflicts associated with a company’s insider-trading policy or applicable securities legislation, (which, for greater certainty, does not include the period during which a cease trade order is in effect to which the Company or in respect of an Insider, that Insider, is subject).

Page 13 of 30


  1. Cashless Exercise – The Option Plan also contains a “cashless exercise” or “net exercise” basis. “Cashless exercise” is a method of exercising stock options in which a securities dealer loans funds to the option holder or sells the same shares as those underlying the option, prior to or in conjunction with the exercise of options, to allow the option holder to fund the exercise of some or all of their options. “Net exercise” is a method of option exercise under which the option holder does not make any payment to the issuer for the exercise of their options and receives on exercise a number of shares equal to the intrinsic value (current market price less the exercise price) of the option valued at the current market price. The current market price must be the 5-day volume weighted average trading price prior to option exercise. “Net exercise” may not be utilized by persons performing investor relations services.

Fixed Restricted Share Unit Plan (Share-Based Awards)

During the financial year ended September 30, 2024, the Company had a fixed Restricted Share Unit Plan dated September 16, 2016 (the “RSU Plan”), which was approved by the Shareholders at the annual general and special meeting of Shareholders on February 10, 2017. A copy of the RSU Plan is attached as Schedule “A” to the Company’s information circular dated January 11, 2017 prepared for the annual general meeting of Shareholders held on February 10, 2017. The material terms of the RSU Plan are set out in the 2022 Circular prepared for the 2022 Meeting.

On March 27, 2024, the Board adopted the Omnibus Plan to replace the RSU Plan, which was subsequently approved by Shareholders at the 2024 Meeting. On July 21, 2025, the Board approved the Omnibus Plan Amendment. The Company is requesting approval of Shareholders of the Omnibus Plan Amendment at the Meeting. The TSXV has conditionally approved the Omnibus Plan Amendment, with final approval subject to receipt of confirmation of the approval of Shareholders at the Meeting. For further information on the Omnibus Plan, refer to the heading “Omnibus Plan (Option-Based and Share-Based Awards)” below.

The RSU Plan was established to provide certain directors, officers, consultants and other key employees (an “Eligible Person”) of the Company and its related entities with the opportunity to acquire RSUs of the Company, thereby allowing an Eligible Person to participate in the long-term success of the Company thus promoting the alignment of an Eligible Person’s interests with the Shareholders.

Omnibus Plan (Option-Based and Share-Based Awards)

On March 27, 2024, the Board adopted the Omnibus Plan to replace the Option Plan and the RSU Plan (together, the “Existing Plans”). The Omnibus Plan was subsequently approved by Shareholders at the 2024 Meeting. On July 21, 2025, the Board approved the Omnibus Plan Amendment. The Company is requesting approval of Shareholders of the Omnibus Plan Amendment at the Meeting. The TSXV has conditionally approved the Omnibus Plan Amendment, with final approval subject to receipt of confirmation of the approval of Shareholders at the Meeting.

The Omnibus Plan has superseded and replaced the Existing Plans in respect of future awards, and no new awards will be available for grant under or be granted under the Existing Plans. The Existing Plans will continue to exist only for the purpose of governing the terms of outstanding awards that have already been issued under the Existing Plans until such awards are exercised, settled, expire or are otherwise terminated or cancelled.

The Omnibus Plan provides flexibility to the Company to grant equity-based incentive awards (the “Awards”) in the form of Options and RSUs, described in detail below. The purpose of the Omnibus Plan is to promote the interests of the Company and its stockholders by aiding the Company in attracting and retaining employees, officers, consultants, advisors and non-employee directors capable of assuring the

Page 14 of 30


future success of the Company, to offer such persons incentives to put forth maximum efforts for the success of the Company's business and to compensate such persons through various stock and cash-based arrangements and provide them with opportunities for stock ownership in the Company, thereby aligning the interests of such persons with the Company's stockholders.

The following is a summary of the Omnibus Plan, including the proposed Omnibus Plan Amendment. This summary is intended as a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Omnibus Plan, which is attached as Schedule "A" to this Circular. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined below shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Omnibus Plan.

Summary of Material Terms

The Omnibus Plan allows for a variety of equity-based awards that provide different types of incentives to be granted to "Eligible Participants", being the Company's directors, officers, and other employees of the Company or a subsidiary, Management Company employees, Eligible Charitable Organizations, Consultants and Service Providers providing ongoing services to the Company and its Affiliates, who the Board may determine from time to time, in its sole discretion, to hold contributory positions in the Company or a subsidiary are eligible to participate in the Omnibus Plan, and will facilitate the grant of Awards (i.e., Options and RSUs) representing the right to purchase one Common Share; and, in the case of RSUs, the right to receive one Common Share, the cash equivalent of one Common Share, or a combination thereof, in accordance with the terms of the Omnibus Plan.

Under the terms of the Omnibus Plan, the Board, or if authorized by the Board, a Committee of the Board, may grant Awards to Eligible Participants. Awards may be granted at any time and from time to time in order to: (a) increase Eligible Participants' interest in the Company's welfare; (b) provide incentives for Eligible Participants to continue their services; (c) reward Eligible Participants for their performance of services; and (d) to provide a means through which the Company or a subsidiary may attract and retain able persons to enter its employment or into contractual arrangements. Participation in the Omnibus Plan is voluntary and, if an Eligible Participant agrees to participate, the grant of Awards will be evidenced by a grant agreement with each such Eligible Participant. The interest of any Eligible Participant in any Award is non-assignable and non-transferable, whether voluntary, involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise, except upon the death or incapacity of the Eligible Participant.

For greater certainty, a Person whose employment with the Company or a subsidiary has ceased for any reason, or who has given notice or been given notice of such cessation, whether such cessation was initiated by such Employee, Service Provider, the Company or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, shall cease to be eligible to receive Awards under the Plan as of the date on which such Person provides notice to the Company or the Subsidiary, as the case may be, in writing or verbally, of such cessation, or on the Termination Date as defined under the Plan, for any cessation of an Eligible Participant's employment initiated by the Company.

The Omnibus Plan provides that appropriate adjustments, if any, are made by the Board in connection with a reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, distribution, merger, amalgamation, plan of arrangement, spin-off, dividend payment or other change of the Common Shares issuable or amounts payable to preclude a dilution or enlargement of the benefits under the Omnibus Plan. In the event that an Eligible Participant receives Common Shares in satisfaction of an Award during a black-out period, such Eligible Participant shall not be entitled to sell or otherwise dispose of such Common Shares until such black-out period has expired. Subject to certain exceptions, should the expiration or settlement date for an Award, as applicable, fall within a black-out period, such expiration date shall be automatically extended to the tenth (10th) Business Day after the end of the black-out period. The maximum number of Common Shares reserved for issuance is the sum of: (i) with respect to Options, 10% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares,

Page 15 of 30


calculated as at the date such Option is granted to any Eligible Participants, and (ii) with respect to RSUs, 14,780,743 Common Shares. The aggregate number of Common Shares (i) issued to Insiders (as a group) under the Omnibus Plan or any other proposed or established share-based compensation arrangement within any one-year period and (ii) issuable to Insiders (as a group) at any time under the Omnibus Plan or any other proposed or established share-based compensation arrangement, shall in each case not exceed 10% of the aggregate number of issued and outstanding Common Shares (on a non-diluted basis), or such other number as may be approved by the TSXV and the Shareholders from time to time. The aggregate maximum number of Common Shares issued to any one Person under the Omnibus Plan within any one-year period shall not exceed 5% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares.

The total number of Common Shares, in aggregate, reserved and available for the grant and issuance of RSUs shall not exceed 14,780,743 Common Shares.

The aggregate number of Common Shares (i) issued to any one consultant under the Omnibus Plan within any twelve-month period and (ii) issuable to Investor Relations Service Providers under the Omnibus Plan within any twelve-month period, shall, in each case, not exceed 2% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, calculated at the date an Option is granted. Investor Relations Service Providers are eligible to receive only Options pursuant to the Omnibus Plan and are not eligible to receive RSUs.

The aggregate number of Common Shares to all Eligible Charitable Organizations under the Plan and any other proposed or established Share Compensation Arrangements, shall not exceed one percent (1%) of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, calculated at the date a Charitable Stock Option is granted to such Eligible Charitable Organizations. Eligible Charitable Organizations are eligible to receive only Charitable Stock Options pursuant to the Omnibus Plan and are not eligible to receive RSUs or any other type of award.

Pursuant to the Omnibus Plan, Options must be granted by the Board, or its appointed Board Committee, pursuant to terms specified in the Option Commitment, including designated Eligible Participants, setting the term of the Options, the number of Options granted, the Option Price (which shall not be less than the Discounted Market Price (the "Market Value"), and the relevant vesting provisions. An Option shall be exercisable during a period established by the Board, which shall commence on the date of the grant and shall terminate no later than ten (10) years after the date of grant of the Award or such shorter period as the Board may determine.

With respect to Options granted to Investor Relations Service Providers the Board will specify the particular terms of such Options and will determine, at its sole discretion, the Investor Relations Service Providers who will receive Options, the number of Options to be granted and the date of grant of such Options, the Term and Option Price and the relevant vesting provisions, including Performance Criteria, if applicable. Vesting of Options granted to Investor Relations Service Providers will occur in stages over a period of not less than twelve months with a maximum of 25% of the Options vesting in any three-month period, and there can be no acceleration of the vesting requirements applicable to Options granted to Investor Relations Service Providers. All terms of Options awarded to Investor Relations Service Providers are subject to the Option Commitment by which such Options are awarded, as well as to any applicable rules of the TSXV.

The Company has added the availability of a cashless exercise or net exercise provision to the Omnibus Plan, which cashless or net exercise provisions are not available to Investor Relations Service Providers. Cashless Exercise or Net Exercise allows for the exercise of Options based on selling a sufficient number of the Common Shares available for issue upon exercise of the Options to realize the payment of the Option Price and all applicable withholding obligations.

Page 16 of 30


The Omnibus Plan also provides that the Board, or its appointed Committee, determines and the RSU Grant Agreement shall specify, the relevant conditions and vesting provisions, including the Performance Period and Performance Criteria required to achieve vesting. The Board shall also determine the RSU Restriction Period, provided that such RSU Restriction Period shall begin a minimum of one year following the date of the Award of the RSU as specified in the RSU Grant Agreement and such Restriction Period shall have an end date not exceeding three years after the calendar year in which the RSU Award was granted, subject to the RSU Vesting Determination Date. The RSU Vesting Determination Date must fall after the end of the Performance Period and must be no later than the last day of the RSU Restriction Period. Unless specified otherwise in the RSU Grant Agreement, one-third (1/3) of RSUs awarded pursuant to the RSU Grant Agreement shall vest on each of the first three anniversaries of the date of grant specified in the RSU Grant Agreement. No RSUs will vest prior to one year from the date of award of such RSU. Acceleration of vesting of RSUs is permitted in connection with the death of the relevant Eligible Participant; or in connection with a change of control, take-over bid, reverse-take-over or other similar transaction. If upon receipt by the Company of a RSU Settlement Notice, the Company does not have a sufficient number of Common Shares reserved for issuance under the Omnibus Plan, in lieu of issuing Common Shares to settle the RSUs, the Company will make payment of a cash amount to the applicable Eligible Participant for a value equal to the number of RSUs multiplied by the Market Value, subject to any applicable deductions and withholdings.

In connection with a change of control of the Company, the Board has the right to provide for the conversion or exchange or replacement of outstanding Awards into, or for, rights or other securities of substantially equivalent (or greater) value in the continuing entity, provided that the Board may, in its sole discretion, change the Performance Criteria, or accelerate the vesting or expiry date of Awards.

The Board may, in its sole discretion, suspend or terminate the Omnibus Plan at any time, or from time to time, amend, revise or discontinue the terms and conditions of the Omnibus Plan or of any Award granted under the Omnibus Plan and any grant agreement relating thereto, subject to any regulatory, shareholder and TSXV approval as required by the Omnibus Plan, provided that such suspension, termination, amendment, or revision will not adversely alter or impair any Award previously granted except as permitted by the terms of the Omnibus Plan or as required by applicable laws.

As a portion of the Omnibus Plan includes a "rolling" Option plan, the TSXV requires the Company to obtain Shareholder approval on an annual basis. Additionally, shareholder approval is required when a proposed amendment to the Omnibus Plan: (a) amends the number of Common Shares issuable under the Omnibus Plan; (b) adds any form of financial assistance by the Company for the exercise of an RSU award; (c) results in a material or unreasonable dilution in the number of outstanding Common Shares or any material benefit to an Eligible Person; (d) changes the class of eligible participants to the RSU Plan which would have the potential of broadening or increasing participation by Insiders of the Company; or (e) constitutes any amendment proscribed and/or requiring Shareholder approval under the rules of the TSXV.

Employment, Consulting and Management Agreements

The Company did not have any employment, consulting or management agreement or arrangement with any of the Company's NEOs or directors as at the most recently completed financial year ended September 30, 2024.

Oversight and Description of Director and Named Executive Officer Compensation

Executive compensation is based upon the need to provide a compensation package that will allow the Company to attract and retain qualified and experienced executives, balanced with a pay-for-performance philosophy. Compensation currently is based upon a negotiated fee, with Options and bonuses potentially

Page 17 of 30


being issued and paid as an incentive for performance. The Company does not presently have a long-term incentive plan for its NEOs. There is no policy or target regarding allocation between cash and non-cash elements of the Company's compensation program.

The Board has assessed the Company's compensation plan and programs for its executive officers to ensure alignment with the Company's business plan and to evaluate the potential risks associated with the plan and programs. The Board has concluded that the compensation policies and practices do not create any risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Board considers the risks associated with executive compensation and corporate incentive plans when designing and reviewing such plans and programs.

The Company has not adopted a policy restricting its executive officers or directors from purchasing financial instruments that are designated to hedge or offset a decrease in market value of equity securities granted as compensation or held, directly or indirectly, by its executive officers or directors. To the knowledge of the Company, none of the executive officers or directors has purchased such financial instruments.

Philosophy and Objectives

The compensation program for the senior management of the Company is designed within this context with a view that the level and form of compensation achieves certain objectives, including:

(a) attracting and retaining qualified executives;
(b) motivating the short and long-term performance of these executives; and
(c) better aligning their interests with those of the Company's Shareholders.

In compensating its senior management, the Company has employed a combination of base salary and equity participation through its Omnibus Plan. Recommendations for senior management compensation are presented to the Board for review.

Base Salary

In the Board's view, paying base salaries which are reasonable in relation to the level of service expected while remaining competitive in the markets in which the Company operates is a first step to attracting and retaining qualified and effective executives.

The Company's objective is to achieve certain strategic objectives and milestones. The Board will consider executive bonus compensation dependent upon the Company meeting those strategic objectives and milestones and sufficient cash resources being available for the granting of bonuses. The Board approves executive bonus compensation dependent upon compensation levels based on recommendations of the Board. Such recommendations are generally based on information provided by issuers that are similar in size and scope to the Company's operations.

Bonus Compensation

The Board will consider executive bonus compensation dependent upon the Company meeting those strategic objectives and milestones and sufficient cash resources being available for the granting of bonuses. The Board approves executive bonus compensation dependent upon compensation levels based on recommendations of the

Page 18 of 30


Board. Such recommendations are generally based on information provided by issuers that are similar in size and scope to the Company's operations.

Equity Participation

The Company believes that encouraging its executives and employees to become Shareholders is the best way of aligning their interests with those of its Shareholders. Equity participation is accomplished through the Omnibus Plan in which certain securities are granted to executives and employees taking into account a number of factors, including the amount and term of options previously granted, base salary and bonuses and competitive factors. The amounts and terms of options granted are determined by the Board based on recommendations put forward by the CEO. Due to the Company's limited financial resources, the Company emphasizes the provisions of option grants to maintain executive motivation.

Compensation Review Process

Executive compensation is based upon the need to provide a compensation package that will allow the Company to attract and retain qualified and experienced executives, balanced with a pay-for-performance philosophy. Compensation currently is based upon a negotiated fee, with stock options and bonuses potentially being issued and paid as an incentive for performance. The Company does not presently have a long-term incentive plan for its NEOs. There is no policy or target regarding allocation between cash and non-cash elements of the Company's compensation program.

Risks Associated with the Company's Compensation Program

The Board has assessed the Company's compensation plan and programs for its executive officers to ensure alignment with the Company's business plan and to evaluate the potential risks associated with the plan and programs. The Board has concluded that the compensation policies and practices do not create any risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Board considers the risks associated with executive compensation and corporate incentive plans when designing and reviewing such plan and programs.

The Company has not adopted a policy restricting its executive officers or directors from purchasing financial instruments that are designated to hedge or offset a decrease in market value of equity securities granted as compensation or held, directly or indirectly, by its executive officers or directors. To the knowledge of the Company, none of the executive officers or directors have purchased such financial instruments.

Benefits and Perquisites

For the most recently completed financial year ended September 30, 2024, the Company did not offer any benefits or perquisites to its NEOs or directors other than potential grants of Options or as otherwise disclosed and discussed herein.

Hedging by Directors or NEOs

The Company has not adopted a policy restricting its executive officers or directors from purchasing financial instruments that are designated to hedge or offset a decrease in market value of equity securities granted as compensation or held, directly or indirectly, by its executive officers or directors. To the knowledge of the Company, none of the executive officers or directors have purchased such financial instruments.

PARTICULARS OF MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON

1. Election of Directors

The size of the Board was set by resolution of the directors at five (5) directors for the 2024 Meeting. On September 20, 2024, Mr. Morgan Good resigned from his positions as Chief Executive Officer and director of the Company. Additionally, Mr. Jeremy Hanson resigned from his role as a director. Concurrent with these resignations, Mr. Jack Huang was appointed as a new director of the Company.

The Board now presently consists of five (5) directors, namely, Leighton Bocking, Zelong (Roger) He, Jack Huang, Adam Ingrao and Vikas Ranjan, of which Mr. Ranjan and Mr. Bocking will not be standing for re-election at the Meeting. At the Meeting, the Board has determined the number of directors to be elected to be five (5) directors. The proposed nominees for election as directors of the Company at the Meeting are Lisa Baird, Zelong (Roger) He, Jack Huang, Adam Ingrao and Vijay Mony. Each director elected will hold office until the next annual meeting of Shareholders or until his successor is duly elected or appointed pursuant to the Articles of the Company. Shareholders will be asked to consider the persons set forth in the table below as director nominees, and to vote at the Meeting to elect them as directors for the ensuing year. The enclosed form of proxy permits Shareholders to vote for all nominees together or for each nominee on an individual basis.

The term of office of each of the current directors will end at the conclusion of the Meeting. Unless a director’s office is vacated earlier in accordance with the provisions of the BCA, each director elected will hold office until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company, or if no director is then elected, until a successor is elected.

COMMON SHARES REPRESENTED BY PROXIES IN FAVOUR OF MANAGEMENT WILL BE VOTED IN FAVOUR OF EACH OF THE PROPOSED NOMINEES UNLESS A SHAREHOLDER HAS SPECIFIED IN HIS, HER OR ITS PROXY THAT HIS, HER OR ITS COMMON SHARES ARE TO BE WITHHELD FROM VOTING IN RESPECT OF ANY PARTICULAR NOMINEE OR NOMINEES. MANAGEMENT DOES NOT CONTEMPLATE THAT ANY OF SUCH NOMINEES WILL BE UNABLE TO SERVE AS DIRECTORS. HOWEVER, IF FOR ANY REASON, ANY OF THE PROPOSED NOMINEES DO NOT STAND FOR ELECTION OR ARE UNABLE TO SERVE AS SUCH, PROXIES IN FAVOUR OF MANAGEMENT NOMINEES WILL BE VOTED FOR

Page 23 of 30


ANOTHER NOMINEE IN THEIR DISCRETION UNLESS THE SHAREHOLDER HAS SPECIFIED IN HIS, HER OR ITS PROXY THAT HIS, HER OR ITS COMMON SHARES ARE TO BE WITHHELD FROM VOTING IN RESPECT OF ANY PARTICULAR NOMINEE OR NOMINEES.

Advance Notice Provisions

On October 10, 2013, the Shareholders approved the alteration of the Company’s Articles for the purpose of adopting advance notice provisions (the “Advance Notice Provision”). The Advance Notice Provision provides for advance notice to the Company in circumstances where nominations of persons for election to the Board are made by shareholders of the Company other than pursuant to (i) a requisition of a meeting made pursuant to the provisions of the BCA or (ii) a shareholder proposal made pursuant to the provisions of the BCA.

Among other things, the Advance Notice Provision fixes a deadline by which Shareholders must submit director nominations to the Company prior to any annual or special meeting of Shareholders and sets forth the minimum information that a Shareholder must include in the notice to the Company for the notice to be in proper written form.

The Advance Notice Provision also requires all proposed director nominees to deliver a written representation and agreement that such candidate for nomination, if elected as a director of the Company, will comply with all applicable corporate governance, conflict of interest, confidentiality, share ownership, majority voting and insider trading policies and other policies and guidelines of the Company applicable to directors and in effect during such person’s term in office as a director.

The foregoing is merely a summary of the Advance Notice Provision, is not comprehensive and is qualified by the full text of such provision which is available in Schedule “A” of the Company’s management information circular filed on September 11, 2013 under the Company’s profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

Corporate Cease Trade Orders

Except as disclosed below, to the knowledge of the Company, no proposed director is, as at the date of this Circular, or has been, within 10 years before the date of this Circular, a director, chief executive officer or chief financial officer of any company (including the Company) that:

(a) was subject to a cease trade order, an order similar to a cease trade order, or an order that denied the relevant company access to any exemption under applicable securities legislation, and which in all cases was in effect for a period of more than 30 consecutive days (an “Order”), which Order was issued while the proposed director was acting in the capacity as director, chief executive officer or chief financial officer of such company; or

(b) was subject to an Order that was issued after the proposed director ceased to be a director, chief executive officer or chief financial officer and which resulted from an event that occurred while that person was acting in the capacity as director, chief executive officer or chief financial officer of such company.

The Company was subject to a Failure-to-File Cease Trade Order (the “CTO”) issued by the British Columbia Securities Commission (the “BCSC”) and the Ontario Securities Commission (the “OSC”) on February 1, 2019 for the Company’s failure to file its audited financial statements, management’s discussion and analysis (“MD&A”), and related certifications for the year ended September 30, 2018 (collectively, the “2018 Financial Statements”). The Company has since filed the 2018 Financial Statements and on November 27, 2020, the BCSC and OSC issued a full revocation of the CTO.

The Company applied for, and on January 29, 2025 was granted, a management cease trade order (the “MCTO”) issued by the BSCS for a failure to file its audited financial statements, MD&A, and related certifications for the year ended September 30, 2024 (collectively, the “2024 Financial Statements”). The Company has since filed the 2024 Financial Statements and on March 20, 2025, the BCSC issued a full revocation of the CTO.

Bankruptcies, Penalties or Sanctions

Except as disclosed herein, to the knowledge of the Company, no proposed director:

(a) is, as at the date of this Circular, or has been within 10 years before the date of this Circular, a director or executive officer of any company (including the Company) that, while that person was acting in that capacity, or within a year of that person ceasing to act in that capacity, became bankrupt, made a proposal under any legislation relating to bankruptcy or insolvency or was subject to or instituted any proceedings, arrangement or compromise with creditors or had a receiver, receiver manager or trustee appointed to hold its assets;

(b) has within 10 years before the date of this Circular, become bankrupt, made a proposal under any legislation relating to bankruptcy or insolvency or become subject to or instituted any proceedings, arrangement or compromise with creditors or had a receiver, receiver manager or trustee appointed to hold his assets;

(c) has been subject to any penalties or sanctions imposed by a court relating to securities legislation or by a securities regulatory authority or has entered into a settlement agreement with a securities regulatory authority; or


(d) has been subject to any penalties or sanctions imposed by a court or regulatory body that would likely be considered important to a reasonable securityholder in deciding whether to vote for a proposed director.

2. Appointment of Auditor

Management proposes to nominate Davidson & Company LLP, Chartered Professional Accountants, located at 1200 – 609 Granville Street, Vancouver, BC V7Y 1G6 for re-appointment as the Company’s auditor to hold office until the next annual general meeting of Shareholders.

COMMON SHARES REPRESENTED BY PROXIES IN FAVOUR OF MANAGEMENT WILL BE VOTED IN FAVOUR OF THE APPOINTMENT OF DAVIDSON & COMPANY LLP, CHARTERED PROFESSIONAL ACCOUNTANTS, AS AUDITOR OF THE COMPANY AND THE AUTHORIZING OF THE DIRECTORS TO FIX ITS REMUNERATION, UNLESS THE SHAREHOLDER HAS SPECIFIED IN THE PROXY THAT HIS, HER OR ITS COMMON SHARES ARE TO BE WITHHELD FROM VOTING IN RESPECT THEREOF.

3. Amendment to Omnibus Plan

At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if thought appropriate, pass an ordinary resolution to approve the Omnibus Plan Amendment, subject to final TSXV approval. On July 21, 2025, the Company amended the Omnibus Plan to increase the aggregate maximum number of Common Shares reserved for issuance pursuant to the award of RSUs from 9,423,033 to 14,780,743, being 10% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares at the time of implementation of the Omnibus Plan Amendment. The TSXV has conditionally approved the Omnibus Plan Amendment, with final approval subject to receipt of confirmation of the approval of Shareholders at the Meeting.

The Board believes the increased maximum of RSUs is necessary to ensure that there will be a sufficient number of options and RSUs, collectively, in order to retain and attract qualified directors, officers, employees and service providers to achieve the Company’s business objectives and growth. The summary of the key terms of the Omnibus Plan set out above is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Omnibus Plan, including the Omnibus Plan Amendment, a copy of which is attached as Schedule “A” to this Circular. The Omnibus Plan will also be available for inspection at the Meeting.

The Company has made certain other changes to the Omnibus Plan that are ‘housekeeping’ in nature, including updating the Omnibus Plan to refer to the Company’s current legal name. These additional amendments are not material in nature and do not substantively impact the Omnibus Plan.

For a summary of the material terms of the Omnibus Plan, refer to “Statement of Execution Compensation – Venture Issuer – Equity Incentive Plans – Omnibus Plan”.

Shareholder Approval

At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if thought appropriate, pass an ordinary resolution to approve the Option Plan Amendment (the “Plan Resolution”). In order to be effective, an ordinary resolution requires approval by a majority of the votes cast by Shareholders for such resolution.

The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote FOR the Plan Resolution. An affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Meeting is sufficient to pass the Plan Resolution.

Page 28 of 30


The complete text of the resolution which management intends to place before the Meeting for approval of the Option Plan Amendment is as follows:

“RESOLVED THAT:

  1. the Omnibus Plan, in the form attached as Schedule “A” to the management information circular of the Company dated July 21, 2025, is hereby confirmed, ratified and approved;
  2. the Board is hereby authorized to make such amendments to the Omnibus Plan from time to time, as may be required by the applicable regulatory authorities, or as may be considered appropriate by the Board, in its sole discretion, provided always that such amendments be subject to the approval of the regulatory authorities, if applicable, and in certain cases, in accordance with the terms of the Omnibus Plan, the approval of the Shareholders; and
  3. any one officer and director of the Company be and is hereby authorized for and on behalf of the Company to execute and deliver all such instruments and documents and to perform and do all such acts and things as may be deemed advisable in such individual’s discretion for the purpose of giving effect to this resolution, the execution of any such document or the doing of any such other act or thing being conclusive evidence of such determination.”

COMMON SHARES REPRESENTED BY PROXIES IN FAVOUR OF MANAGEMENT NOMINEES WILL BE VOTED IN FAVOUR OF THE PLAN RESOLUTION IN THE ABSENCE OF DIRECTION TO THE CONTRARY FROM THE SHAREHOLDER APPOINTING THEM. AN AFFIRMATIVE VOTE OF A MAJORITY OF THE VOTES CAST AT THE MEETING BY SHAREHOLDERS IS SUFFICIENT FOR THE APPROVAL OF THE PLAN RESOLUTION.

INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS OR COMPANIES IN MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON

To the knowledge of the Company, no director or executive officer of the Company, or any person who has held such a position since the beginning of the Company’s financial year ended September 30, 2024, nor any nominee for election as a director of the Company, nor any associate or affiliate of the foregoing persons, has any substantial or material interest, direct or indirect, by way of beneficial ownership of securities or otherwise, in any matter to be acted on at the Meeting other than the election of directors.

(3) Each Option granted shall be subject to vesting terms as set forth in the Option Commitment or as otherwise specified by the Board.

Unless otherwise determined by the Board, all unexercised Options shall be cancelled at the expiry of such Options.

(2) Should the expiration date for an Option fall within a Black-Out Period, such expiration date shall be automatically extended without any further act or formality to that date which is the tenth (10th) Business Day after the end of the Black-Out Period, such tenth (10th) Business Day to be considered the expiration date for such Option for all purposes under the Plan, provided that such automatic extension of the applicable Expiry Date for an Option will not apply where the Participant or the Corporation is subject to a cease trade order (or similar order under applicable securities laws) in respect of the Corporation’s securities.

3.5 Exercise of Options

(1) Subject to the provisions of this Plan and of the relevant Grant Agreement, a Participant shall be entitled to exercise an Option granted to such Participant at any time prior to the expiry of the Option Term, subject to vesting limitations which may be imposed by the Board at the time such Option is granted.

Page A-15


conditions as the Board at the time of granting the particular Option, may determine in its sole discretion. For greater certainty, no Option shall be exercised by a Participant during a Black-Out Period.

3.6 Method of Exercise and Payment of Purchase Price

(1) Subject to the provisions of this Plan and the alternative exercise procedures set out herein, an Option granted under the Plan may be exercisable (from time to time as provided in 3.5 hereof) by the Participant (or by the liquidator, executor or administrator, as the case may be, of the estate of the Participant) by delivering a fully completed Exercise Notice to the Corporation at its registered office to the attention of the Chief Financial Officer & Corporate Secretary of the Corporation (or the individual that the Chief Financial Officer & Corporate Secretary of the Corporation may from time to time designate), together with a bank draft, certified cheque or other form of payment acceptable to the Corporation in an amount equal to the aggregate Option Price of the Shares to be purchased pursuant to the exercise of the Options.

(2) Where Shares are to be issued to the Participant pursuant to the terms of this 3.6, as soon as practicable following the receipt of the Exercise Notice and, if Options are exercised in accordance with the terms of 3.6(1), the required bank draft, certified cheque or other acceptable form of payment, the Corporation shall duly issue such Shares to the Participant as fully paid and non-assessable.

(3) Upon the exercise of an Option pursuant to 3.6(1), the Corporation shall, as soon as practicable after such exercise but no later than ten (10) Business Days following such exercise, forthwith cause the transfer agent and registrar of the Shares to either:

(b) in the case of Shares issued in uncertificated form, cause the issuance of the aggregate number of Shares the Participant (or the liquidator, executor or administrator, as the case may be, of the estate of the Participant) shall have then paid for and as are specified in such Exercise Notice to be evidenced by a book position on the register of the shareholders of the Corporation to be maintained by the transfer agent and registrar of the Shares.

3.7 Cashless Exercise and Net Exercise

(1) Subject to the provisions of this Plan (including, without limitation 7.2) and, upon prior approval of the Board, once an Option has vested and become exercisable, an Optionee may elect to exercise such Option by either:

(a) excluding Options held by any Investor Relations Service Providers, a “net exercise” procedure in which the Corporation issues to the Optionee, Shares equal to the number determined by dividing (i) the product of the number of Options being exercised multiplied by the difference between the VWAP of the underlying Shares and the Exercise Price of the subject Options by (ii) the VWAP of the underlying Shares; or

Page A-16


(b) a broker assisted “cashless exercise” in which the Corporation delivers a copy of irrevocable instructions to a broker engaged for such purposes by the Corporation to sell the Shares otherwise deliverable upon the exercise of the Options and to deliver promptly to the Corporation an amount equal to the Exercise Price and all applicable required withholding obligations a determined by the Corporation against delivery of the Shares to settle the applicable trade.

An Option may be exercised pursuant to this 3.7. from time to time by delivery to the Corporation, at its head office or such other place as may be specified by the Corporation of (i) written notice of exercise specifying that the Optionee has elected to effect such a cashless exercise of such Option, the method of cashless exercise, and the number of Options to be exercised and (ii) the payment of an amount for any tax withholding or remittance obligations of the Optionee or the Corporation arising under applicable law and verified by the Corporation to its satisfaction (or by entering into some other arrangement acceptable to the Corporation in its discretion, if any). The Participant shall comply with 7.2 of this Plan with regard to any applicable required withholding obligations and with such other procedures and policies as the Corporation may prescribe or determine to be necessary or advisable from time to time including prior written consent of the Board in connection with such exercise.

(2) In the event of a net exercise pursuant to 3.7(1)(a) or a cashless exercise pursuant to 3.7(1)(b), the number of Options exercised, surrendered or converted, and not the number of Shares actually issued by the Corporation, must be included in calculating the limits set forth in 2.4 of this Plan.

3.8 Option Commitments

Options shall be evidenced by an Option Commitment or included in an Employment Agreement or other services agreement, in such form not inconsistent with the Plan as the Board may from time to time determine, provided that the substance of Article 3 and Article 5 hereof be included therein. The Option Commitment shall contain such terms that may be considered necessary in order that the Option will comply with any provisions respecting options in the income tax or other laws in force in any country or jurisdiction of which the Participant may from time to time be a resident or citizen or the rules of any regulatory body having jurisdiction over the Corporation.

3.9 Hold Period

(1) An Exchange Hold Period will be applied from the date of grant for all Options granted to:

(a) Insiders;

(b) Consultants; or

(c) where Options are granted to any Participants, including Insiders and Consultants, where the Exercise Price is at a discount to the Market Price.

Page A-17


ARTICLE 4 RESTRICTED SHARE UNITS

4.1 Nature of RSUs

An RSU is an Award entitling the recipient to acquire Shares, at such purchase price (which may be zero) as determined by the Board, subject to such restrictions, vesting and conditions as the Board may determine at the time of grant. Conditions may be based on continuing employment (or other service relationship) and/or achievement of pre-established performance goals and objectives.

4.2 RSU Awards

(1) The Board shall, from time to time by resolution, in its sole discretion, (i) designate the Eligible Participants who may receive RSUs under the Plan, (ii) fix the number of RSUs, if any, to be granted to each Eligible Participant and the date or dates on which such RSUs shall be granted, (iii) determine the relevant conditions and vesting provisions (including the applicable Performance Period and Performance Criteria, if any) and the Restriction Period of such RSUs, (provided, however, that no such Restriction Period shall exceed the three (3) years referenced in 4.4), and (iv) any other terms and conditions applicable to the granted RSUs, which need not be identical and which, without limitation, may include non-competition provisions, subject to the terms and conditions prescribed in this Plan and in any RSU Grant Agreement.

(2) Each RSU shall be subject to vesting terms as set forth in the applicable Grant Agreement or as otherwise specified by the Board, and, pursuant to TSXV Policy 4.4, s. 4.6, in all instances RSUs will not vest until a minimum of one (1) year following award of the RSUs has passed.

(3) The RSUs are structured so as to be considered to be a plan described in Section 7 of the Tax Act or any successor to such provision.

(4) Subject to the vesting and other conditions and provisions set forth herein and in the applicable Grant Agreement, the Board shall determine whether each RSU awarded to a Participant shall entitle the Participant: (i) to receive one Share issued from treasury; (ii) to receive the Cash Equivalent of one (1) Share; or (iii) to elect to receive either one (1) Share from treasury, the Cash Equivalent of one (1) Share or a combination of cash and Shares.

(5) RSUs shall be settled by the Participant at any time beginning on the first (1st) Business Day following their RSU Vesting Determination Date but no later than the RSU Settlement Date (as such terms are defined in 4.6 and 4.7, respectively).

4.3 Restriction Period

The applicable Restriction Period in respect of a particular RSU Award shall be determined by the Board but in all cases shall end no later than December 31 of the calendar year, which is three (3) years after the calendar year in which the Award is granted (“Restriction Period”). For example, the Restriction Period for a grant made in June 2024 shall end no later than December 31, 2027. Subject to the Board’s determination, any vested RSUs with respect to a Restriction Period will be paid to Participants in accordance with Article 4 no later than the end of the Restriction Period. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, all unvested RSUs shall be cancelled on the RSU Vesting Determination Date and, in any event, no later than the last day of the Restriction Period, but no earlier than one year from the date of the award of the RSUs to be settled.

Page A-18


Page A-19

4.4 Performance Criteria and Performance Period

(1) For each award of RSUs, the Board shall establish the period in which any Performance Criteria and other vesting conditions must be met in order for a Participant to be entitled to receive Shares in exchange for all or a portion of the RSUs held by such Participant (the “Performance Period”), provided that such Performance Period may not expire after the end of the Restriction Period, being a minimum of one (1) year from the date of award of the RSUs, and ending no longer than three (3) years after the calendar year in which the Award was granted. For example, a Performance Period determined by the Board to be for a period of three (3) financial years will start on the first day of the financial year in which the Award is granted and will end on the last day of the second financial year after the year in which the grant was made. In such a case, for a grant made on January 4, 2024, the Performance Period will start on January 4, 2025 and will end on December 31, 2027.

(2) For each award of RSUs, the Board shall establish any Performance Criteria and other vesting conditions which must be met during the Performance Period in order for a Participant to be entitled to receive Shares in exchange for his or her RSUs.

(3) For greater clarity, in the event the Corporation does not have a sufficient number of Shares available under this Plan to satisfy its obligations under this 4.4, the Corporation may make payment in cash to satisfy such obligations.

4.5 Credits for Dividends

A Participant’s Account shall be credited with additional RSUs as of each dividend payment date in respect of which cash dividends are paid on Shares. The number of additional RSUs to be credited to a Participant’s Account shall be computed by dividing: (a) the dividends that would have been paid to such Participant if each RSU in the Participant’s Account on the relevant dividend record date had been one (1) Share, by (b) the Fair Market Value of the Shares determined as of the date of payment of such dividend. Any fractional RSUs resulting from such calculation shall be rounded to the nearest whole number. For greater certainty, a fractional entitlement that is equal to or greater than 0.5 shall be shall be rounded up to the next greater whole number and a fractional entitlement that is less than 0.5 shall be rounded down to the next lesser whole number. Any such additional RSUs credited to the Participant’s Account shall vest in proportion to and shall be paid hereunder in the same manner as the RSUs to which they relate. The foregoing does not obligate the Corporation to pay dividends on Shares and nothing in this Plan shall be interpreted as creating such an obligation.

In the event that the issuance of RSUs in lieu of dividends, any additional RSUs issued pursuant to the dividends will be factored into the limits on grants to individuals and groups as set out in 2.4 of this Plan. The Corporation may settle such RSUs in cash where the issuance of Shares would result in a breach on the limits as set out in 2.4 of this Plan or where it does not have sufficient Shares available to satisfy the obligation in Shares.

4.6 RSU Vesting Determination Date

The vesting determination date means the date on which the Board determines if the Performance Criteria and/or other vesting conditions with respect to a RSU have been met (the “RSU Vesting Determination Date”), and as a result, establishes the number of RSUs that become vested, if any. For greater certainty, the RSU Vesting Determination Date must fall after the end of the Performance Period, if any, but no later than the last day of the Restriction Period. Unless otherwise specified in the RSU Grant Agreements, one-third (1/3) of RSUs awarded pursuant to an RSU Grant Agreement shall vest on each of


the first (1st) three (3) anniversaries of the date of grant. Provided that no RSUs may vest prior to one year from the date of award of such RSU. Acceleration of vesting is permitted in connection with the death of a Participant, in the event the holder of RSUs ceases to be an Eligible Participant under this Plan, or in connection with a Change in Control, Take-Over Bid, reverse-take-over or other similar transaction.

4.7 Settlement of RSUs

(1) Except as otherwise provided in the RSU Grant Agreement, in the event that the vesting conditions, the Performance Criteria and Performance Period, if applicable, of an RSU are satisfied:

(a) all of the vested RSUs covered by a particular grant may, subject to 4.7(5), be settled at any time beginning on the first Business Day following their RSU Vesting Determination Date but no later than the date that is five (5) years from their RSU Vesting Determination Date (the "RSU Settlement Date"); and

(b) a Participant is entitled to deliver to the Corporation, on or before the RSU Settlement Date, an RSU Settlement Notice in respect of any or all vested RSUs held by such Participant.

(2) Subject to 4.7(5), settlement of RSUs shall take place promptly following the RSU Settlement Date and take the form set out in the RSU Settlement Notice through:

(a) in the case of settlement of RSUs for their Cash Equivalent, delivery of a cheque to the Participant representing the Cash Equivalent;

(b) in the case of settlement of RSUs for Shares, delivery of a Share certificate to the Participant or the entry of the Participant's name on the Share register for the Shares; or

(c) in the case of settlement of the RSUs for a combination of Shares and the Cash Equivalent, a combination of (a) and (b) above.

(3) If an RSU Settlement Notice is not received by the Corporation on or before the RSU Settlement Date, settlement shall take the form of Shares issued from treasury as set out in 4.8(2).

(4) If, upon receipt by the Corporation of a RSU Settlement Notice pursuant to the terms thereof, the Corporation does not have a sufficient number of Shares reserved and available for issuance under this Plan, the Corporation will make payment of a cash amount to a Participant for a value equal to the number of RSUs multiplied by the Market Value, subject to any applicable deductions and withholdings, in lieu of issuing Shares.

(5) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, in the event that a RSU Settlement Date falls during a Black-Out Period or other trading restriction imposed by the Corporation and the Participant has not delivered a RSU Settlement Notice, then such RSU Settlement Date shall be automatically extended to the tenth (10th) Business Day following the date that such Black-Out Period or other trading restriction is lifted, terminated or removed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a Participant receives Shares in satisfaction of an Award during a Black-Out Period, the Corporation shall advise such Participant of the same in writing and such Participant shall not be entitled to sell or otherwise dispose of such Shares until such Black-Out Period has expired.

4.8 Determination of Amounts

(1) Cash Equivalent of RSUs. For purposes of determining the Cash Equivalent of RSUs to be made pursuant to 4.7, such calculation will be made on the RSU Settlement Date and shall equal the Market Value on the RSU Settlement Date multiplied by the number of vested RSUs in the Participant’s Account which the Participant desires to settle in cash pursuant to the RSU Settlement Notice.

(2) Payment in Shares; Issuance of Shares from Treasury. For the purposes of determining the number of Shares from treasury to be issued and delivered to a Participant upon settlement of RSUs pursuant to 4.7, such calculation will be made on the RSU Settlement Date and be the whole number of Shares equal to the whole number of vested RSUs then recorded in the Participant’s Account which the Participant desires to settle pursuant to the RSU Settlement Notice. Shares issued from treasury will be issued in consideration for the past services of the Participant to the Corporation and the entitlement of the Participant under this Plan shall be satisfied in full by such issuance of Shares.

4.9 RSU Grant Agreements

RSUs shall be evidenced by an RSU Grant Agreement or included in an Employment Agreement or other services agreement, in such form not inconsistent with the Plan as the Board may from time to time determine, provided that the substance of Article 5 hereof be included therein. The RSU Grant Agreement shall contain such terms that may be considered necessary in order that the RSU will comply with any provisions respecting restricted share units in the income tax or other laws in force in any country or jurisdiction of which the Participant may from time to time be a resident or citizen or the rules of any regulatory body having jurisdiction over the Corporation.

ARTICLE 5 GENERAL CONDITIONS

5.1 General Conditions Applicable to Awards

Each Award, as applicable, shall be subject to the following conditions:

(1) Employment. The granting of an Award to a Participant shall not impose upon the Corporation or a Subsidiary any obligation to retain the Participant in its employ in any capacity. For greater certainty, the granting of Awards to a Participant shall not impose any obligation on the Corporation to grant any Awards in the future nor shall it entitle the Participant to receive future grants.

(2) Rights as a Shareholder. Neither the Participant nor such Participant’s personal representatives or legatees shall have any rights whatsoever as shareholder in respect of any Shares covered by such Participant’s Awards until the date of issuance of a Share certificate to such Participant (or to the liquidator, executor or administrator, as the case may be, of the estate of the Participant) or the entry of such Person’s name on the Share register for the Shares. Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing, no adjustment shall be made for dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such Share certificate is issued or entry of such Person’s name on the Share register for the Shares.

(3) Conformity to Plan. In the event that an Award is granted or a Grant Agreement is executed which does not conform in all particulars with the provisions of the Plan, or purports to grant Awards on terms different from those set out in the Plan, the Award or the grant of such Award shall not be in


any way void or invalidated, but the Award so granted will be adjusted to become, in all respects, in conformity with the Plan.

(4) Non-Assignable and Non-Transferable. All Awards are exercisable only by the Participant to whom they were awarded and will not be assignable or transferable. Awards may be exercised only by:

(a) the Participant to whom the Awards were granted;

(b) upon the Participant’s death, the legal representative of the Participant’s estate; or

(c) upon the Participant’s incapacity, the legal representative having authority to deal with the property of the Participant,

provided that any such legal representative in (b) or (c) shall first deliver evidence satisfactory to the Corporation of legal representation and the right to exercise an Award.

(5) Cease to be an Eligible Participant. Notwithstanding this 5.1, any Award granted or issued to a Participant who is a Director, Officer, Employee, Consultant or Management Company Employee must expire within a reasonable period, not exceeding twelve (12) months, following the date such Participant ceases to be an Eligible Participant under this Plan.

(6) Termination for Cause. Upon a Participant ceasing to be an Eligible Participant for “cause”, all unexercised vested and unvested Awards granted to such Participant shall terminate on the effective date of the termination as specified in the notice of termination. For the purposes of the Plan, the determination by the Corporation that the Participant was discharged for cause shall be binding on the Participant. “Cause” shall include, among other things, gross misconduct, theft, fraud, breach of confidentiality or breach of the Corporation’s Code of Conduct and any reason determined by the Corporation to be cause for termination.

(7) Retirement. In the case of a Participant’s retirement, any unvested Awards held by the Participant as at the Termination Date will continue to vest in accordance with their vesting schedules, and all vested Awards held by the Participant at the Termination Date may be exercised until the earlier of the Expiry Date of the Awards or six (6) months following the Termination Date, provided that if the Participant is determined to have breached any post-employment restrictive covenants in favour of the Corporation, then any Awards held by the Participant, whether vested or unvested, will immediately expire and the Participant shall pay to the Corporation any “in-the-money” amounts realized upon exercise of Awards following the Termination Date. For further clarity, all unvested Awards as at the earlier of the Expiry Date of the Awards or six (6) months following the Termination Date, will be forfeited and cancelled without payment and shall be of no further force or effect from and after such date.

(8) Resignation. In the case of a Participant ceasing to be an Eligible Participant due to such Participant’s resignation, subject to any later expiration dates determined by the Board, all Awards shall expire on the earlier of ninety (90) days after the effective date of such resignation, or the Expiry Date of the Award, to the extent such Awards were vested and exercisable by the Participant on the effective date of such resignation and all unexercised unvested Awards granted to such Participant shall terminate on the effective date of such resignation. For further clarity, any later expiration date determined by the Board must not exceed a twelve (12) month period commencing on the date of the Participant’s resignation.

Page A-22


(9) Termination or Cessation. In the case of a Participant ceasing to be an Eligible Participant for any reason (other than for “cause”, resignation or death), the number of unvested Awards that may vest is subject to proration over the applicable vesting or Performance Period and shall expire on the earlier of ninety (90) days after the effective date of the Termination Date, or the Expiry Date of the Awards. For greater certainty, the proration calculation referred to above shall be net of previously vested Awards.

(10) Death. If a Participant dies while in his or her capacity as an Eligible Participant, all unvested Awards will immediately vest and all Awards will expire one hundred eighty (180) calendar days after the death of such Participant. If a Participant’s heirs or administrators are entitled to any portion of the Participant’s outstanding Awards, the period in which they shall be entitled to make a claim in respect of such RSUs may not exceed one hundred eighty days (180) calendar days after the death of such Participant.

(11) Change in Control. If a Participant is terminated without “cause” or resigns for good reason during the twelve (12) month period following a Change in Control, or after the Corporation has signed a written agreement to effect a Change in Control but before the Change in Control is completed, then any unvested Awards will immediately vest and may be exercised within thirty

(12) calendar days of such date. In the case of an Investor Relations Service Provider, where the Corporation has signed a written agreement to effect a Change in Control and before the Change in Control is completed, any unvested Awards may, subject to prior acceptance by the Exchange, vest immediately and be exercised within thirty (30) calendar days of such Exchange approval.

5.2 Unfunded Plan

Unless otherwise determined by the Board, this Plan shall be unfunded. To the extent any Participant or his or her estate holds any rights by virtue of a grant of Awards under this Plan, such rights (unless otherwise determined by the Board) shall be no greater than the rights of an unsecured creditor of the Corporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any determinations made shall be such that the Plan continuously meets the requirements of paragraph 6801(d) of the Income Tax Regulations, adopted under the Tax Act or any successor provision thereto.

ARTICLE 6 ADJUSTMENTS AND AMENDMENTS

6.1 Adjustment to Shares Subject to Outstanding Awards

(1) In the event of any subdivision of the Shares into a greater number of Shares at any time after the grant of an Award to a Participant and prior to the expiration of the term of such Award, the Corporation shall deliver to such Participant, at the time of any subsequent exercise or vesting of such Award in accordance with the terms thereof, in lieu of the number of Shares to which such Participant was theretofore entitled upon such exercise or vesting of such Award, but for the same aggregate consideration payable therefor, such number of Shares as such Participant would have held as a result of such subdivision if, on the record date thereof, the Participant had been the registered holder of the number of Shares to which such Participant was theretofore entitled upon such exercise or vesting of such Award.

(2) In the event of any consolidation of Shares into a lesser number of Shares at any time after the grant of an Award to any Participant and prior to the expiration of the term of such Award, the Corporation shall deliver to such Participant at the time of any subsequent exercise or vesting of such Award in accordance with the terms thereof, in lieu of the number of Shares to which such

Page A-23


Participant was theretofore entitled upon such exercise or vesting of such Award, but for the same aggregate consideration payable therefor, such number of Shares as such Participant would have held as a result of such consideration if, on the record date thereof, the Participant had been the registered holder of the number of Shares to which such Participant was theretofore entitled upon such exercise or vesting of such Award.

(3) If, at any time after the grant of an Award to any Participant, and prior to the expiration of the term of such Award, the Shares shall be reclassified, reorganized or otherwise changed, otherwise than as specified in 6.1(1) or 6.1(2) hereof or, subject to the provisions of 6.1(3) hereof, the Corporation shall consolidate, merge, reorganize or amalgamate with or into another corporation (the corporation resulting or continuing from such consolidation, merger, reorganization, amalgamation, plan of arrangement, spin-off, dividend payment or recapitalization, being herein called the “Successor Corporation”), the Participant shall be entitled to receive, upon the subsequent exercise or vesting of Award, in accordance with the terms hereof and shall accept in lieu of the number of Shares then subscribed for but for the same aggregate consideration payable therefor, the aggregate number of Shares of the appropriate class or other securities of the Corporation or the Successor Corporation (as the case may be) or other consideration from the Corporation or the Successor Corporation (as the case may be) that such Participant would have been entitled to receive as a result of such reclassification, reorganization or other change of Shares or, subject to the provisions of 6.2(3) hereof, as a result of such consolidation, merger, reorganization, amalgamation, plan of arrangement, spin-off, dividend payment or recapitalization, if on the record date of such reclassification, reorganization or other change of Shares or the effective date of such consolidation, merger reorganization, amalgamation, plan of arrangement, spin-off, dividend payment or recapitalization, as the case may be, such Participant had been the registered holder of the number of Shares to which such Participant was immediately theretofore entitled upon such exercise or vesting of such Award. Provided that all adjustments made to the aggregate number of Shares of the appropriate class or other securities of the Corporation or the Successor Corporation (as the case may be) or other consideration from the Corporation or the Successor Corporation (as the case may be) that such Participant would have been entitled to receive as a result of such reclassification, reorganization or other change of Shares or, subject to the provisions of 6.2(3) hereof, as a result of such consolidation, merger, reorganization, amalgamation, plan of arrangement, spin-off, dividend payment or recapitalization, shall be subject to the prior acceptance of the Exchange.

(4) If, at any time after the grant of an Award to any Participant and prior to the expiration of the term of such Award, the Corporation shall make a distribution to all holders of Shares or other securities in the capital of the Corporation, or cash, evidences of indebtedness or other assets of the Corporation (excluding an ordinary course dividend in cash or Shares, but including, for greater certainty, Shares or equity interests in a Subsidiary or business unit of the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries or cash proceeds of the disposition of such a Subsidiary or business unit), or should the Corporation effect any transaction or change having a similar effect, then the price or the number of Shares to which the Participant is entitled upon exercise or vesting of Award shall be adjusted to take into account such distribution, transaction or change. The Board shall determine the appropriate adjustments to be made in such circumstances in order to maintain the Participants’ economic rights in respect of their Awards in connection with such distribution, transaction or change.

(5) For greater clarity, any adjustment, other than in connection with a security consolidation or security split, to Awards granted or issued under this Plan must be subject to the prior acceptance of the Exchange, including but not limited to adjustments related to an amalgamation, merger, arrangement, reorganization, spin-off, dividend or recapitalization.

6.2 Amendment or Discontinuance of the Plan

(1) The Board may amend the Plan or any Award at any time subject to Shareholder Approval as a condition to Exchange acceptance of the amendment. For greater certainty, without limitation, amendments to any of the following provisions of this Plan will be subject to Shareholder Approval, in particular amendments:

(a) to Persons eligible to be granted or issued Security Based Compensation under this Plan;

(b) to the maximum number or percentage, as the case may be, of Shares that may be issuable upon exercise of Options or conversion of RSUs under this Plan;

(h) to any method or formula for calculating prices, values or amounts under this Plan that may result in a benefit to a Participant, including but not limited to the formula for calculating the appreciation of a Stock Appreciation Right (as defined in the TSXV Policies).

Provided that Shareholder Approval shall not be required for the following amendments and the Board may make any changes which may include but are not limited to amendments of a general "housekeeping" or clerical nature that:

(i) correct typographical errors; and

(ii) clarify existing provisions of this Plan, that do not have the effect of altering the scope, nature and intent of such provisions.

(2) Notwithstanding 6.2(1), the Board shall be required to obtain Disinterested Shareholder Approval to make the following amendments:

(a) any change to the maximum number of Shares issuable from treasury under the Plan, except such increase by operation of 2.4 and in the event of an adjustment pursuant to Article 6;

(b) any amendment which reduces the Exercise Price of any Award, as applicable, after such Awards have been granted or any cancellation of an Award and the substitution of that Award by a new Award with a reduced price, except in the case of an adjustment pursuant to Article 6;

(c) any amendment which reduces the Exercise Price or extends the term of any Stock Option held by a Participant who is an Insider of the Corporation at the time of the proposed amendment;


(d) any amendment which extends the Expiry Date of any Award or the Restriction Period of any RSU beyond the original Expiry Date, except in case of an extension due to a Black-Out Period;

(e) any amendment which would permit a change to the pool of Eligible Participants, including a change which would have the potential of broadening or increasing participation by Insiders;

(f) any amendment which increases the maximum number of Shares that may be (i) issuable to Insiders and Associates of such Insiders at any time; or (ii) issued to Insiders and Associates of such Insiders under the Plan and any other proposed or established Share Compensation Arrangement in a one-year period, except in case of an adjustment pursuant to Article 6; or

(g) any amendment to the amendment provisions of the Plan, provided that Shares held directly or indirectly by Insiders benefiting from the amendments in 6.2(2)(b) and 6.2(2)(c) shall be excluded when obtaining such Shareholder Approval.

(3) The Board may, by resolution, but subject to applicable Regulatory Approvals, decide that any of the provisions hereof concerning the effect of termination of the Participant’s employment shall not apply for any reason acceptable to the Board.

(4) The Board may, subject to Regulatory Approval, discontinue the Plan at any time without the consent of the Participants, provided that such discontinuance shall not materially and adversely affect any Awards previously granted to a Participant under the Plan.

(5) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, at all times when the Corporation is listed on the TSXV:

(a) the Corporation shall be required to obtain prior TSXV acceptance of any amendment to this Plan; and

(b) the Corporation shall be required to obtain Disinterested Shareholder Approval in compliance with the applicable policies of the TSXV for this Plan if the Plan, together with all of the Corporation’s previously established and outstanding equity compensation plans or grants, could permit at any time: (1) the aggregate number of Shares reserved for issuance under Awards granted to any one Person in any twelve (12) month period exceeding 5% of the Outstanding Issue, calculated on the date of such grant; (2) the aggregate number of Shares reserved for issuance under Awards granted to Insiders (as a group) at any point in time exceeding 10% of the Outstanding Issue; and (3) the grant to Insiders (as a group), within a 12 month period, of an aggregate number of Awards exceeding 10% of the issued Shares, calculated at the date an Award is granted to any Insider.

6.3 Change in Control

All provisions herein this 6.3 shall be subject to the prior acceptance of the TSXV, if required.

(1) Notwithstanding anything else in this Plan or any Grant Agreement, the Board has the right to provide for the conversion or exchange of any outstanding Awards into or for options, rights, units

Page A-26


or other securities of substantially equivalent (or greater) value in any entity participating in or resulting from a Change in Control.

(2) Upon the Corporation entering into an agreement relating to a transaction which, if completed, would result in a Change in Control, or otherwise becoming aware of a pending Change in Control, the Corporation shall give written notice of the proposed Change in Control to the Participants, together with a description of the effect of such Change in Control on outstanding Awards, not less than seven (7) days prior to the closing of the transaction resulting in the Change in Control.

(3) The Board may, in its sole discretion, change the Performance Criteria or accelerate the vesting and/or the Expiry Date of any or all outstanding Awards to provide that, notwithstanding the Performance Criteria and/or vesting provisions of such Awards or any Grant Agreement, such designated outstanding Awards shall be fully performed and/or vested and conditionally exercisable upon (or prior to) the completion of the Change in Control, provided that the Board shall not, in any case, authorize the exercise of Awards pursuant to this 6.3(3) beyond the Expiry Date of the Awards. If the Board elects to change the Performance Criteria or accelerate the vesting and/or the Expiry Date of the Awards, then if any of such Awards are not exercised within seven (7) days after the Participants are given the notice contemplated in 6.3(2) (or such later Expiry Date as the Board may prescribe), such unexercised Awards shall, unless the Board otherwise determines, terminate and expire following the completion of the proposed Change in Control. If, for any reason, the Change in Control does not occur within the contemplated time period, the satisfaction of the Performance Criteria, the acceleration of the vesting and the Expiry Date of the Awards shall be retracted and vesting shall instead revert to the manner provided in the Grant Agreement.

(4) To the extent that the Change in Control would also result in a capital reorganization, arrangement, amalgamation or reclassification of the Share capital of the Corporation and the Board does not change the Performance Criteria or accelerate the vesting and/or the Expiry Date of Awards pursuant to 6.3(3), the Corporation shall make adequate provisions to ensure that, upon completion of the proposed Change in Control, the number and kind of Shares subject to outstanding Awards and/or the Option Price per Share of Options shall be appropriately adjusted (including by substituting the Awards for Awards to acquire securities in any successor entity to the Corporation) in such manner as the Board considers equitable to prevent substantial dilution or enlargement of the rights granted to Participants. The Board may make changes to the terms of the Awards or the Plan to the extent necessary or desirable to comply with any rules, regulations or policies of any stock exchange on which any securities of the Corporation may be listed, provided that the value of previously granted Awards and the rights of Participants are not materially adversely affected by any such changes.

(5) Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, in the event of a potential Change in Control, the Board shall have the power, in its sole discretion, to modify the terms of this Plan and/or the Awards (including, for greater certainty, to cause the vesting of all unvested Awards) to assist the Participants to tender into a Take-Over Bid or other transaction leading to a Change in Control. For greater certainty, in the event of a Take-Over Bid or other transaction leading to a Change in Control, the Board shall have the power, in its sole discretion, to permit Participants to conditionally exercise their Awards, such conditional exercise to be conditional upon the take-up by such offeror of the Shares or other securities tendered to such Take-Over Bid in accordance with the terms of such Take-Over Bid (or the effectiveness of such other transaction leading to a Change in Control). If, however, the potential Change in Control referred to in this 6.3(5) is not completed within the time specified therein (as the same may be extended), then notwithstanding this 6.3(5) or the definition of "Change in Control": (i) any conditional exercise of vested Awards shall be deemed

Page A-27


to be null, void and of no effect, and such conditionally exercised Awards shall for all purposes be deemed not to have been exercised, (ii) Shares which were issued pursuant to the exercise of Awards which vested pursuant to this 6.3 shall be returned by the Participant to the Corporation and reinstated as authorized but unissued Shares, and (iii) the original terms applicable to Awards which vested pursuant to this 6.3 shall be reinstated.

ARTICLE 7 MISCELLANEOUS

7.1 Use of an Administrative Agent and Trustee

The Board may in its sole discretion appoint from time to time one or more entities to act as administrative agent to administer the Awards granted under the Plan and to act as trustee to hold and administer the assets that may be held in respect of Awards granted under the Plan, the whole in accordance with the terms and conditions determined by the Board in its sole discretion. The Corporation and the administrative agent will maintain records showing the number of Awards granted to each Participant under the Plan.

7.2 Tax Withholding

(1) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, and subject to TSXV Policy 4.4, all distributions, delivery of Shares or payments to a Participant (or to the liquidator, executor or administrator, as the case may be, of the estate of the Participant) under the Plan shall be made net of applicable source deductions. If the event giving rise to the withholding obligation involves an issuance or delivery of Shares, then, the withholding obligation may be satisfied by (a) having the Participant elect to have the appropriate number of such Shares sold by the Corporation, the Corporation's transfer agent and registrar or any trustee appointed by the Corporation pursuant to 7.1 hereof, on behalf of and as agent for the Participant as soon as permissible and practicable, with the proceeds of such sale being delivered to the Corporation, which will in turn remit such amounts to the appropriate governmental authorities, or (b) any other mechanism as may be required or appropriate to conform with local tax and other rules.

(2) Notwithstanding the first paragraph of this 7.2, the applicable tax withholdings may be waived where the Participant directs in writing that a payment be made directly to the Participant's registered retirement savings plan in circumstances to which regulation 100(3) of the regulations of the Tax Act apply.

7.3 Reorganization of the Corporation

The existence of any Awards shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Corporation or its shareholders to make or authorize any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or other change in the Corporation's capital structure or its business, or any amalgamation, combination, merger or consolidation involving the Corporation or to create or issue any bonds, debentures, Shares or other securities of the Corporation or the rights and conditions attaching thereto or to affect the dissolution or liquidation of the Corporation or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets or business, or any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar nature or otherwise.

7.4 No Representation or Warranty

The Corporation makes no representation or warranty as to the future Market Value of Shares issued in accordance with the provisions of this Plan or to the effect of the Tax Act or any other taxing statute governing the Options or the Shares issuable thereunder or the tax consequences to a Participant.

Page A-28


Compliance with applicable securities laws as to the disclosure and resale obligations of each Participant is the responsibility of each Participant and not the Corporation.

7.5 Governing Laws

The Plan and all matters to which reference is made herein shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein.

7.6 Severability

The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of the Plan shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision and any invalid or unenforceable provision shall be severed from the Plan.

7.7 Effective Date of the Plan

The Plan was approved by the Board and shall take effect on July 21, 2025.

Board of Directors
1. Board of Directors—Disclose how the board of directors (the “Board”) of Alset AI Ventures Inc. (the “Company”) facilitates its exercise of independent supervision over management, including (i) the identity of directors that are independent, and (ii) the identity of directors who are not independent, and the basis for that determination. The Board is currently composed of a total of five directors of which Messrs. Leighton Bocking, Jack Huang and Vikas Ranjan are considered “independent” as such term is defined in NI 58-101. Mr. Ranjan and Mr. Bocking will not be standing for re-election at the Meeting and Ms. Lisa Baird and Mr. Vijay Mony will be standing for election. If elected at the Meeting, Ms. Baird and Mr. Mony will be considered “independent” as defined in NI 58-101.
Messrs. Zelong (Roger) He and Adam Ingrao are not considered independent as they act as executive officers of the Company.
The Board facilitates its independent supervision over management by periodically holding meetings to discuss the Company’s operations at which members of management or non-independent directors are not in attendance and by retaining independent consultants where it deems necessary.
2. Directorships—If a director is presently a director of any other issuer that is a reporting issuer (or the equivalent) in a jurisdiction or a foreign jurisdiction, identify both the director and the other issuer. The following proposed directors of the Company currently serve on boards of other reporting companies (or equivalent) as set out below:

When new directors are appointed, they receive an orientation, commensurate with their previous experience, on the business and on the responsibilities of directors.
Each director ultimately assumes responsibility for keeping himself informed about the Company’s business and relevant developments outside the Company that affect its business. Board meetings may also include presentations by the Company’s management and employees to give the directors additional insight into the Company’s business. Directors may also attend other Board committee meetings if they are not active members, to broaden their knowledge base and receive additional information on the Company’s business and developments in areas where they are not commonly exposed.
Ethical Business Conduct
4. Describe what steps, if any, the Board takes to encourage and promote a culture of ethical business conduct. The Board is responsible for promoting an ethical business culture. The Board has found that the fiduciary duties placed on individual directors by the Company’s governing corporate legislation and the common law and the restrictions placed by applicable corporate legislation on an individual directors’ participation in decisions of the Board in which the director has

an interest have been sufficient to ensure that the Board operates independently of management and in the best interests of the Company.
Nomination of Directors
5. Disclose what steps, if any, are taken to identify new candidates for Board nomination, including: (i) who identifies new candidates, and (ii) the process of identifying new candidates.

Mr. Bocking and Mr. Ranjan will not be standing for re-election at the Meeting and Ms. Lisa Baird and Mr. Vijay Mony will be standing for election.
