INFORMATION CIRCULAR
(as at April 16, 2026, except as otherwise indicated)
This Information Circular is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the management of Captiva Verde Wellness Corp. (the “Company”) for use at the annual general meeting (the “Meeting”) of its Shareholders to be held on May 21, 2026 at the time and place and for the purposes set forth in the accompanying notice of the Meeting.
In this Information Circular, references to the “Company”, “we” and “our” refer to Captiva Verde Wellness Corp. “Common Shares” means common shares without par value in the capital of the Company. “Beneficial Shareholders” means shareholders who do not hold Common Shares in their own name and “intermediaries” refers to brokers, investment firms, clearing houses and similar entities 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.
GENERAL PROXY INFORMATION
Solicitation of Proxies
The solicitation of proxies will be primarily by mail, 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 owners of the Common Shares held of record by those intermediaries and we may reimburse the intermediaries for their reasonable fees and disbursements in that regard.
Appointment of Proxyholders
The individuals named in the accompanying form of proxy (the “Proxy”) are officers and directors 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 management appointee acting as a proxyholder will vote in favour of each matter identified on the Proxy and, if applicable, for the nominees of management for directors and auditors as identified in the Proxy.
Registered Shareholders
Registered Shareholders may wish to vote by proxy whether or not they are able to attend the Meeting in person. Registered Shareholders electing to submit a proxy may do so by choosing one of the following methods:
(a) complete, date and sign the enclosed form of proxy and return it to the Company’s transfer agent, Computershare Investor Services Inc. (“Computershare”), by fax within North America at 1-866-732-8683, outside North America at (416) 263-9524, or by mail to 320 Bay Street, 14th Floor, Toronto, Ontario M5H 4A6.
(b) use a touch-tone phone to transmit voting choices to the toll-free number given in the proxy. Registered Shareholders who choose this option must follow the instructions of the voice response system and refer to the enclosed proxy form for the toll-free number, the holder's account number and the proxy access number; or
(c) via Computershare’s internet website www.investorvote.com. Registered Shareholders who choose this option must follow the instructions that appear on the screen and refer to the enclosed proxy form for the holder's account number and the proxy access number.
In either case you must ensure the Proxy is received at least 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and statutory holidays) before the Meeting or the adjournment thereof. Failure to complete or deposit the Proxy properly may result in its invalidation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the chair of the Meeting has the discretion to accept proxies received after such deadline.
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 names of intermediaries. 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, under the name of Cede & Co. as nominee for The Depository Trust Company (which acts as depositary for many U.S. brokerage firms and custodian banks).
Intermediaries are required to seek voting instructions from Beneficial Shareholders in advance of meetings of shareholders. Every intermediary has its own mailing process and provides its own return instructions to clients.
There are two kinds of Beneficial Shareholders: Objecting Beneficial Owners (“OBOs”) object to their name being made known to the issuers of securities which they own; and Non-Objecting Beneficial Owners (“NOBOs”) who do not object to the issuers of the securities they own knowing who they are.
Pursuant to National Instrument 54-101 - Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer (“NI 54-101”) the Company distributes copies of the Notice of Meeting, this Information Circular and the form of Proxy (collectively, the “Meeting materials”) to the Depository and Intermediaries for onward distribution to Beneficial Shareholders. The Company does not send Meeting materials directly
to Beneficial Shareholders. Intermediaries are required to forward the Meeting materials to all Beneficial Shareholders for whom they hold Common Shares unless such Beneficial Shareholders have waived the right to receive them.
These securityholder materials are being sent to both registered and non-registered (beneficial) owners of the securities of the Company. If you are a beneficial owner, and the Company or its agent sent these materials to you directly, your name, address and information about your holdings of securities were obtained in accordance with applicable securities regulatory requirements by the intermediary holding securities on your behalf.
If you are a Beneficial Shareholder:
If you are a Beneficial Shareholder 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 proxy form 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 delegate responsibility for obtaining instructions from clients to Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”) in Canada and in the United States. Broadridge mails a Voting Instruction Form (“VIF”) in lieu of the proxy provided by the Company. The VIF will name the same persons as are named on the Company’s form of 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), who is different from 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, insert the name of the desired representative, which may be you, in the blank space provided in the VIF. The completed VIF must then be returned to Broadridge in accordance with Broadridge’s instructions. Broadridge will then tabulate the results of all instructions received and provide 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 its instructions, well in advance of the Meeting in order to have your Common Shares voted or to have an alternate representative duly appointed to attend the Meeting to vote your Common Shares.
Revocation of Proxies
In addition to revocation in any other manner permitted by law, a registered shareholder 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 shareholder is a corporation, under its corporate seal by an officer or attorney duly authorized, and by delivering the proxy bearing a later date to Computershare, or at the address of the registered office of the Company 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 registered shareholder’s Common Shares.
A revocation of a proxy will not affect a matter on which a vote is taken before the revocation.
Notice to Shareholders resident in the United States
The solicitation of proxies is not subject to the requirements of Section 14(a) of the U.S. Exchange Act by virtue of an exemption applicable to proxy solicitations by foreign private issuers as defined in Rule 3b-4
of the U.S. Exchange Act. Accordingly, this Circular has been prepared in accordance with applicable Canadian disclosure requirements. Residents of the United States should be aware that such requirements differ from those of the United States applicable to proxy statements under the U.S. Exchange Act.
This document does not address any income tax consequences of the disposition of the Company's shares by Shareholders. Shareholders in a jurisdiction outside of Canada should be aware that the disposition of shares by them may have tax consequences both in those jurisdictions and in Canada and are urged to consult their tax advisors with respect to their particular circumstances and the tax considerations applicable to them.
Any information concerning any properties and operations of the Company has been prepared in accordance with Canadian standards under applicable Canadian securities laws and may not be comparable to similar information for United States companies.
If financial statements are included or incorporated by reference herein, they have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and are subject to auditing and auditor independence standards in Canada. Such consequences for the Company Shareholders who are resident in, or citizens of, the United States may not be described fully in this Circular.
The enforcement by the Company Shareholders of civil liabilities under the United States federal securities laws may be affected adversely by the fact that the Company is incorporated or organized under the laws of a foreign country, that some or all of their officers and directors and the experts named herein are residents of a foreign country and that the major assets of the Company are located outside the United States.
INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS OR COMPANIES IN MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON
No director or executive officer of the Company, or any person who has held such a position since the beginning of the last two completed financial years of the Company, 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, the appointment of the auditor and as may be set out herein.
VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS OF VOTING SECURITIES
The board of directors (the "Board") of the Company has fixed April 16, 2026 as the record date (the "Record Date") for determination of persons entitled to receive notice of the Meeting. Only Shareholders of record at the close of business on the Record Date who either attend the Meeting personally or complete, sign and deliver a form of proxy in the manner and subject to the provisions described above will be entitled to vote or to have their Common Shares voted at the Meeting.
The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of Common Shares, which Common Shares are listed for trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the "CSE") under the symbol "PWR" and on the OTC Market under the symbol "CPVIF". As of Record Date, there were 305,131,067 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.
Principal Holders of Voting Securities
To the knowledge of the directors and executive officers of the Company, no persons or corporations that beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, or exercised control or direction over, Common Shares carrying more than 10% of the voting rights attached to all outstanding Common of the Company as at Record Date.
4
VOTES NECESSARY TO PASS RESOLUTIONS
A simple majority of affirmative votes cast at the Meeting is required to pass the resolutions described herein.
If there are more nominees for election as directors or appointment of the Company’s auditor than there are vacancies to fill, those nominees receiving the greatest number of votes will be elected or appointed, as the case may be, until all such vacancies have been filled. If the number of nominees for election or appointment is equal to the number of vacancies to be filled, all such nominees will be declared elected or appointed by acclamation.
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
The size of the Board was set by resolution of the directors at three (3) directors. Accordingly, to continue the current number of directors and pursuant to the Articles of the Company (the “Articles”) the Board has not changed the number of directors to be elected and three (3) directors will be elected at the Meeting. Shareholders are 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 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 Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), 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.
Advance Notice Provision
Pursuant to the Advance Notice Provisions contained in the Articles, the Board has determined that notice of nominations of persons for election to the Board at the Meeting must be made following the requirements of such Advance Notice Provisions. To the date of this Information Circular, the Company has not received notice of a nomination in compliance with the Articles and, subject to the timely receipt of any such nomination, any nominations other than nominations by or at the direction of the Board or an authorized officer of the Company will be disregarded at the Meeting.
The following table sets out the names of management’s three nominees for election as director, all major offices and positions with the Company and any of its significant affiliates each now holds, each nominee’s principal occupation, business or employment (for the last five years for each director nominee), the period of time during which each has been a director of the Company and the number of Common Shares of the Company beneficially owned by each, directly or indirectly, or over which each exercised control or direction, at April 16, 2026.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
General
Corporate governance refers to the policies and structure of the board of directors of a company, whose members are elected by and are accountable to the Shareholders of the company. Corporate governance encourages establishing a reasonable degree of independence of the board of directors from executive management and the adoption of policies to ensure the board of directors recognizes the principles of good management. The Board is committed to sound corporate governance practices as such practices are both in the interests of shareholders and help to contribute to effective and efficient decision-making.
10
Board of Directors
Directors are considered to be independent if they have no direct or indirect material relationship with the Company. A “material relationship” is a relationship which could, in the opinion of the Board, be reasonably expected to interfere with the exercise of a director’s independent judgment.
The Board facilitates its independent supervision over management by conducting quarterly reviews of the Company’s consolidated financial statements and management discussion and analysis as well as requiring material transactions to be approved by the Board prior to the transaction taking place.
The independent Board members are Orest Kostecki and Michael Boyd. The non-independent director is Jeffrey (Jeff) Ciachurski, Executive Chairman of the Company.
Directorships
The current directors are board members of other reporting issuers as follows:
| Name of Director | Name of Reporting Issuer | Exchange |
|---|---|---|
| Jeffrey (Jeff) Ciachurski | Greenbriar Sustainable Living Inc. | TSXV |
| Michael Boyd | Greenbriar Sustainable Living Inc. | TSXV |
Orientation and Continuing Education
When new directors are appointed, they receive an orientation, commensurate with their previous experience, on the Company’s properties and on the responsibilities of directors.
Board meetings may also include presentations by the Company’s management and employees to give the directors additional insight into the Company’s business.
Ethical Business Conduct
The Board finds 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 director’s 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
The Board considers its size each year when it considers the number of directors to recommend to the Shareholders for election at the annual meeting of shareholders, taking into account the number required to carry out the Board’s duties effectively and to maintain a diversity of views and experience.
The Board does not have a nominating committee, and these functions are currently performed by the Board as a whole. However, if there is a change in the number of directors required by the Company, this policy will be reviewed.
Compensation
Directors of the Company will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket travel expenses incurred in order to attend meetings of the Board of Directors, committees of the Board of Directors or meetings of the Shareholders of the Company. It is anticipated that the Company will obtain customary insurance for the benefit of its directors and that the Company will enter into indemnification agreements with each director and officer.
Other Board Committees
The Board has no committees other than the audit committee.
[Remainder of page intentionally left blank]
Assessments
The Board monitors the adequacy of information given to directors, communication between the Board and management and the strategic direction and processes of the Board and it audit committee.

Stock Options and Other Compensation Securities
10% Rolling Stock Option Plan (Option-based Awards)
The Company’s stock option plan was adopted by the Board on October 12, 2017 (the “Stock Option Plan”) and was last approved by Shareholders at the Company’s annual general meeting held on May 18, 2023. The Stock Option Plan is designed to promote the long-term success of the Company by strengthening the ability of the Company to attract and retain highly competent employees and by promoting greater alignment of interests between executives and shareholders in the creation of long-term shareholder value. A copy of the Stock Option Plan is available under the Company’s SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca.
The purpose of granting stock options (“Options”) is to assist the Company in compensating, attracting, retaining and motivating its executive officers and to closely align the personal interests of such persons to that of the shareholders.
The Board has the authority either to grant Options or has the authority to delegate to any Board committee (the “Committee”) appointed for the purpose of compensating the Company’s directors, officers, employees and consultants, the ability to grant Options to the Company’s directors, management, employees and consultants. Options can be granted, from time to time at the sole discretion of the Board or the Committee, to persons eligible to receive Options under the Stock Option Plan. Option exercise prices are set in accordance with CSE policies.
In determining the number of Options to be granted to the executive officers, the Board considers a number of factors including the amount and term of Options previously granted, base salary and annual performance
incentives awarded to the executives and commensurate with those offered by other companies in our industry; and the exercise price of any outstanding options to ensure that such grants are in accordance with CSE policies. Options vest on terms established by the Board at the time of grant
The following is a summary of the material terms of the Plan.
Eligible Optionees
To be eligible to receive a grant of options under the Plan an Optionee must be an executive, or an employee, or a consultant of the Company providing services to the Company or a subsidiary at the time the option is granted.
Restrictions
The Plan is subject to the following restrictions:
(a) The maximum number of Options granted to any one Option Holder within any 12 month period shall be 5% of the Outstanding Common Shares issued, unless the company has obtained disinterested shareholder approval if required under regulations, to do so;
(b) If required under regulations to do so, the Company must obtain disinterested shareholder approval, in order to grant to Insiders under the Plan within a 12 month period, a number of Options which, when added to the number of outstanding Options granted to Insiders within the previous 12 months, will exceed 10% of the issued Common Shares;
(c) The maximum number of Options which may be granted to any one Consultant within any 12 month period must not exceed 2% of the issued Common Shares;
(d) The maximum number of Options that may be granted within any 12 month period to Employees or Consultants engaged in investor relations activities must not exceed 2% of the issued Common Shares, and such Options must vest in stages over 12 months with no more than 25% of the Options vesting in any three month period, and such limitation will not be an amendment to the Plan requirement the Option Holders consent.
Administration and Terms of the Plan:
(a) The Plan is administered by the Board or its appointed committee.
(b) The expiry date of an Option shall be no later than the tenth anniversary of the date of grant of the Option.
(c) Grant and expiry dates, the exercise price, the vesting schedule and the number of Common Shares which may be purchased pursuant to an Option shall be fixed by the Board or its committee appointed to grant options.
(d) The Company may implement such procedures and conditions as the Board or its committee deems appropriate with respect to withholding and remitting taxes imposed under applicable law, or the funding of related amounts for which liability may arise under such applicable law.
(e) All options granted under the Plan expire on a date not later than 10 years after the issuance of such options. However, should the expiry date for an option fall within a trading Blackout (as defined in the Plan, generally meaning circumstances where sensitive negotiations or other like information is not yet public), options may not be exercised during a Black-Out unless the Board or its appointed Committee determines otherwise.
(f) An Option granted to any Option Holder will continue intact during any military or sick leave or other bona fide leave of absence if the period of such leave does not exceed 90 days (or, if longer, for so long as the Option Holder's right to re-employment or re-engagement by the Company is guaranteed either by statute or by contract.) If the period of such leave exceeds 90 days and the
13
Option Holder’s re-employment or re-engagement is not so guaranteed, then his or her employment or engagement shall be deemed to have terminated on the 91st day of such leave.
(g) An Option may be exercised only by the Option Holder or the Personal Representative of any Option Holder, who may exercise an Option in whole or in part at any time and from time to time following vesting and up to the expiry of the Option by delivering the required notice and payment pursuant to the terms of the Plan. Options may not be exercised during a Black-Out unless the Board or its appointed committee determines otherwise.
(h) The Board reserves the right, subject to regulatory requirements, in its absolute discretion to amend, suspend, terminate or discontinue the Plan with respect to all Plan shares in respect of options which have not yet been granted under the Plan. Where any amendment relates to an existing Option, if the amendment would:
- materially decrease the rights or benefits accruing to an Option Holder; or
- materially increase the obligations of an Option Holder;
then, unless otherwise excepted out by the Plan, the Committee must also obtain the written consent of the Option Holder in question to such amendment. If at the time the exercise price of an Option is reduced the Option Holder is an Insider of the Company, the Insider must not exercise the option at the reduced exercise price until the reduction in exercise price has been approved by the disinterested shareholders of the Company, if such disinterested shareholder approval is required by the Exchange.
(i) A copy of any amendment to the Plan shall be promptly provided by the Administrator to each Option Holder.
As at Record Date, there were 305,131,067 Common Shares issued and outstanding. Accordingly, under the Stock Option Plan the Company has the authority to grant options to purchase up to 30,149,106 Common Shares. At the date of this Information Circular, options to purchase an aggregate of 25,500,000 Common Shares are granted and outstanding under the Stock Option Plan, representing 8.36% of the outstanding Common Shares.
Restricted Share Unit Plan (Share-Based Awards)
The Company’s restricted share unit plan was adopted by the Board on October 24, 2023 (the “RSU Plan”) and approved by Shareholders at the Company’s annual general meeting held on May 17, 2024. The aggregate number of Common Shares made available for issuance pursuant to the RSU Plan shall be determined from time to time by the Board, but in any case, shall not exceed 10,000,000, subject to adjustments as provided in the RSU Plan. A copy of the RSU Plan is available under the Company’s SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca.
The RSU Plan was designed 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 restricted share units (“RSUs”) of the Company. The acquisition of RSUs allows an Eligible Person to participate in the long-term success of the Company thus promoting the alignment of an Eligible Persons.
The following is a summary of the RSU Plan. Capitalized terms used but not defined have the meanings ascribed to them in the RSU Plan.
Nature and Administration of the RSU Plan
All Directors, Officers, Consultants and Employees (as defined in the RSU Plan) of the Company and its related entities (“Eligible Persons”) are eligible to participate in the RSU Plan (as “Participants”), and the Company reserves the right to restrict eligibility or otherwise limit the number of persons eligible for
14
participation as Participants in the RSU Plan. Eligibility to participate as a Participant in the RSU Plan does not confer upon any person a right to receive an award of RSUs.
Subject to certain restrictions, the Board or its appointed committee, can, from time to time, award RSUs to Eligible Persons. RSUs will be credited to an account (an “Account”) maintained for each Participant on the books of the Company as of the award date. The number of RSUs to be credited to each Participant’s account shall be determined at the discretion of the Board and pursuant to the terms of the RSU Plan.
RSUs and all other rights, benefits or interests in the RSU Plan are not transferable or assignable otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and shall be exercisable during the lifetime of the Participant only by the Participant and after death only by the Participant’s legal representative.
Credit for Dividends
A Participant's Account will be credited with additional RSUs (the “Dividend RSUs”) as of each dividend payment date in respect of which cash dividends are paid on Common Shares. The number of Dividend RSUs credited to a Participant’s Account in connection with the payment of dividends on Common Shares will be based on the actual amount of cash dividends that would have been paid to such Participant had he or she been holding such number of Common Shares equal to the number of RSUs credited to the Participant’s Account on the date on which cash dividends are paid on the Common Shares and the market price of the Common Shares on the payment date. Note that the Company is not obligated to pay dividends on Common Shares.
Resignation, Termination, Leave of Absence or Death
Generally, if a Participant's employment or service is terminated, or if the Participant resigns from employment with the Company, then all RSUs held by the Participant (whether vested or unvested) shall terminate automatically upon the termination of the Participant’s service or employment.
In the event a Participant is terminated by reason of (i) termination by the Company other than for cause or (ii) the Participant’s death, the Participant’s unvested RSUs shall vest automatically as of such date. In the event the termination of the Participant’s services is by reason of voluntary resignation, only the Participant’s unvested RSUs shall terminate automatically as of such date.
Change of Control
In the event of a Change of Control, the Board may, in its discretion, without the necessity or requirement for the agreement or consent of any Participant: (i) accelerate, conditionally or otherwise, on such terms as it sees fit, the vesting date of any RSU; (ii) permit the conditional settlement of any RSU, on such terms as it sees fit; (iii) otherwise amend or modify the terms of the RSU, including for greater certainty permitting Participants to settle any RSU, to assist the Participants to tender the underlying Common Shares to, or participate in, the actual or potential Change of Control Event (as defined in the RSU Plan) or to obtain the advantage of holding the underlying Common Shares during such Change of Control Event; and (iv) terminate, following the successful completion of such Change of Control Event, on such terms as it sees fit, the RSUs not settled prior to the successful completion of such Change of Control Event, including, without limitation, for no payment or other compensation. The determination of the Board in respect of any such Change of Control Event shall for the purposes of this RSU Plan be final, conclusive and binding.
Adjustments
In the event there is a change in the outstanding Common Shares by reason of any stock dividend or split, recapitalization, amalgamation, consolidation, combination or exchange of shares, or other corporate change, the Board shall make, subject to the prior approval of the CSE where necessary, appropriate substitution or adjustment in (i) the number or kind of Common Shares or other securities reserved for issuance pursuant to the RSU Plan, and (ii) the number and kind of Common Shares or other securities subject to unsettled and outstanding RSUs granted pursuant to the RSU Plan.
15
16
Vesting
Each award of RSUs vests on the date(s) specified by the Board on the award date, and is reflected in the applicable RSU agreement certificate.
Limitations under the RSU Plan
The aggregate number of Common Shares made available for issuance pursuant to the RSU Plan shall be determined from time to time by the Board, but in any case, shall not exceed 10,000,000, subject to adjustments as provided in the RSU Plan.

Compensation Review Process
The Board determines the compensation of its executive officers. In determining compensation, the Board considers industry standards and financial situation but does not currently have any formal objectives or criteria.

The Company's compensation program consists of the following elements:
(a) base salary or consulting fees;
(b) bonus payments; and
(c) equity participation through the Stock Option Plan.
Base Salary or Consulting Fees
Base salary ranges for NEOs were initially determined upon review of salaries paid by other companies that are comparable in size to the Company.
In determining the base salary of a NEO, the Board considers the following factors:
(a) the particular responsibilities related to the position;
(b) salaries paid by other companies in the same industry, which were similar in size and stage of development as the Company;
(c) the experience level of the NEO;
(d) the amount of time and commitment which the NEO devotes to the Company; and
(e) the NEO’s overall performance and performance in relation to the achievement of corporate milestones and objectives.
Bonus Payments
Each of the NEOs, as well as all employees, are eligible for an annual bonus, payable in cash or through option-based compensation. The amount paid is based on the Board’s assessment of the Company’s performance for the year. Factors considered in determining bonus amounts include individual performance, financial criteria (such as cash management and share price performance) and operational criteria (such as significant acquisitions and the attainment of corporate milestones).
Equity Participation
The Company currently offers equity participation in the Company through the Stock Option Plan.
Executive Compensation
Except for the grant of incentive stock options, there are no arrangements under which NEOs were compensated by the Company during the two most recently completed financial years for their services in their capacity as NEOs, directors or consultants.
