MANAGEMENT SOLICITATION

This information circular (the "Circular") is furnished to you in connection with the solicitation of proxies by management of First Nordic Metals Corp. ("we", "us", "First Nordic" or the "Company") for use at the annual general and special meeting (the "Meeting") of shareholders of the Company ("First Nordic Shareholders") to be held at 10:30 am (Pacific Time) on Wednesday, June 25, 2025 and at any adjournment of the Meeting.

We will not specifically engage employees or soliciting agents to solicit proxies. We do not reimburse First Nordic Shareholders, nominees, or agents for their costs of obtaining authorization from their principals to sign forms of proxy. We will pay the expenses of this solicitation.

GENERAL PROXY INFORMATION

Notice and Access Provisions

Pursuant to National Instrument 54-101 – Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer ("NI 54-101"), and in an effort to reduce printing and mailing costs, we are using the notice and access provisions under NI 54-101 to deliver the Circular, management's discussion and analysis and annual audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, and other materials (collectively, the "meeting materials") for the Meeting. Instead of receiving printed copies of the meeting materials, you will receive a notice with information on the meeting date, where it is being held and when, as well as information on how you may access the meeting materials electronically. The Company is providing paper copies of the Circular only to those registered shareholders and beneficial shareholders that have previously requested to receive paper materials. You can access electronic copies of the meeting materials on our Website https://firstnordicmetals.com/special-meeting-materials/ and on our SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca. You can also request printed copies of the meeting materials in advance of the Meeting, however your request should be sent to the Company so we receive it by Monday, June 9, 2025 in order to allow sufficient time for you to receive the printed copies and return your proxy or voting instruction form to intermediaries not later than 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and statutory holidays in the Province of British Columbia) prior to the time set for the Meeting or any adjournments or postponements thereof. To receive free printed copies of the meeting materials, please contact our Corporate Secretary by: (i) email: [email protected]; or (ii) mail: Suite 300, 1055 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, BC V6E 2E9.

Appointment of Proxyholders

The persons named as proxyholders in the enclosed form of proxy are the Company's directors and officers. As a First Nordic Shareholder, you have the right to appoint a person or company (who need not be a First Nordic Shareholder) in place of the persons named in the form of proxy to attend and act on your behalf at the Meeting. To exercise this right, you must either insert the name of your representative in the blank space provided in the form of proxy and strike out the other names or complete and deliver another appropriate form of proxy.

A proxy will not be valid unless it is dated and signed by you or your attorney duly authorized in writing or, if you are a corporation, by an authorized director, officer, or attorney of the corporation.

Voting by Proxy

The persons named in the accompanying form of proxy will vote or withhold from voting the shares represented by the proxy in accordance with your instructions, provided your instructions are clear. If you have specified a choice on any matter to be acted on at the Meeting, your shares will be voted or withheld from voting accordingly. If you do not specify a choice or where you specify both choices for any matter to be acted on, your shares will be voted in favour of all matters.


First Nordic Metals Corp. – 2025 Information Circular

The enclosed form of proxy gives the persons named as proxyholders discretionary authority regarding amendments to or variations of matters identified in the Notice of Meeting and any other matter that may properly come before the Meeting. As of the date of this Circular, our management is not aware of any such amendment, variation or other matter proposed or likely to come before the Meeting. However, if any amendment, variation or other matter properly comes before the Meeting, the persons named in the form of proxy intend to vote on such other business in accordance with their judgment.

You may indicate the manner in which the persons named in the enclosed proxy are to vote on any matter by marking an "X" in the appropriate space. If you wish to give the persons named in the proxy a discretionary authority on any matter described in the proxy, then you should leave the space blank. In that case, the proxyholders nominated by management will vote the shares represented by your proxy in accordance with their judgment.

Voting by Proxy on the Nasdaq Stockholm Exchange

The information in this section is of significance to Shareholders who hold their Shares through Euroclear Sweden AB (Euroclear Registered Securities), which trade on the Nasdaq Stockholm Exchange.

Shareholders who hold Euroclear Registered Securities are not registered holders of Shares for the purposes of voting at the Meeting. Instead, Euroclear Registered Securities are registered under CDS & Co., the registration name of the Canadian Depositary for Securities. Holders of Euroclear Registered Securities will receive a voting instruction form (the Swedish VIF) by mail directly from Computershare Sweden. The Swedish VIF cannot be used to vote Shares directly at the Meeting. Instead, the Swedish VIF must be completed and returned to Computershare Sweden strictly in accordance with the instructions and deadlines that will be described in the instructions provided with the Swedish VIF.

Completion and Return of Proxy

You must deliver the completed form of proxy to the office of the Company's registrar and transfer agent, Computershare Investor Services Inc. (contact information below), or to the Company's head office at the address listed on the cover page of this Circular, by Monday, June 23, 2025 at 10:30 am (Pacific Time), which is not less than 48 hours (Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays excepted) before the scheduled time of the Meeting (or any adjournment, as applicable).

Non-Registered Holders

Only First Nordic Shareholders whose names appear on our records or validly appointed proxyholders are permitted to vote at the Meeting. Most First Nordic Shareholders are "non-registered" First Nordic Shareholders because their shares are registered in the name of a nominee, such as a brokerage firm, bank, trust company, trustee or administrator of a self-administered RRSP, RRIF, RESP or similar plan or a clearing agency such as CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. (a "Nominee"). If you purchased your shares through a broker, you are likely a non-registered First Nordic Shareholder.


  • 3 -

Non-registered First Nordic Shareholders who have not objected to their Nominee disclosing certain ownership information about themselves to us are referred to as "NOBOs". Those non-registered First Nordic Shareholders who have objected to their Nominee disclosing ownership information about themselves to us are referred to as "OBOs".

Pursuant to NI 54-101, the Company will distribute copies of the meeting materials pursuant to the notice and access provisions described above. Nominees are required to forward the meeting materials to each OBO unless the OBO has waived the right to receive them. Management does not intend to pay for intermediaries to forward to OBOs under NI 54-101 the proxy-related materials, and Form 54-101F7 - Request for Voting Instructions Made by Intermediary and that in the case of an OBO, the objecting beneficial owner will not receive these materials unless the OBO's intermediary assumes the cost of delivery.

First Nordic Shares held by Nominees can only be voted in accordance with the instructions of the non-registered First Nordic Shareholder. Meeting materials sent to non-registered First Nordic Shareholders who have not waived the right to receive meeting materials are accompanied by a request for voting instructions (a "VIF"). This form is instead of a proxy. By returning the VIF in accordance with the instructions noted on it, a non-registered First Nordic Shareholder is able to instruct the registered shareholder (or Nominee) how to vote on behalf of the non-registered First Nordic Shareholder. VIFs, whether provided by the Company or by a Nominee, should be completed and returned in accordance with the specific instructions noted on the VIF.

In either case, the purpose of this procedure is to permit non-registered First Nordic Shareholders to direct the voting of the shares they beneficially own. Should a non-registered holder who receives a VIF wish to attend the Meeting or have someone else attend on his or her behalf, the non-registered holder may request a legal proxy as set forth in the VIF, which will grant the non-registered holder or his/her nominee the right to attend and vote at the Meeting. Non-registered First Nordic Shareholders should carefully follow the instructions set out in the VIF including those regarding when and where the VIF is to be delivered.

Revocability of Proxy

If you are a registered First Nordic Shareholder who has returned a proxy, you may revoke your proxy at any time before it is exercised. In addition to revocation in any other manner permitted by law, a registered First Nordic Shareholder who has given a proxy may revoke it by either:

(a) signing a proxy bearing a later date; or
(b) signing a written notice of revocation in the same manner as the form of proxy is required to be signed as set out in the notes to the proxy.

The later proxy or the notice of revocation must be delivered to the office of the Company's registrar and transfer agent or to the Company's head office at any time up to and including the last business day before the scheduled time of the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.

If you are a non-registered First Nordic Shareholder who wishes to revoke a proxy authorization form or VIF or to revoke a waiver of your right to receive meeting materials and to give voting instructions, you must give written instructions to your Nominee in accordance with such Nominee's instructions.

Advanced notice of the Meeting was posted on the Company's SEDAR+ profile on April 17, 2025.

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

Except as set out herein, none of the directors or executive officers of the Company, nor any person who has held such a position since the beginning of the last completed financial year of the Company, nor any proposed 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.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Compensation, Philosophy and Objectives

The Company has appointed a Compensation Committee (the "Compensation Committee") and adopted a Compensation Committee Charter providing the Compensation Committee with the overall responsibility of recommending levels of executive compensation in order to attract, hire, retain and motivate the Company's Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and other executive officers (collectively, "Management") and certain key employees and non-executive officers below the vice-president level (collectively, "Non-Management Officers") and for recommending compensation of directors. See Appendix B of this Circular for a full copy of the Compensation Committee Charter.

The Compensation Committee consists of a minimum of three members, each of whom, to the extent possible, shall be independent within the meaning of National Instrument 52-110 – Audit Committees ("NI 52-110"). As of the date of this Circular, the members of the Compensation Committee are Toby Pierce, Marc Legault, and Taj Singh. Each of Messrs. Pierce and Legault are considered independent for purposes of NI 52-110.

The First Nordic board of directors (the "First Nordic Board" or the "Board of Directors") meets to discuss and determine management compensation upon recommendation by the Compensation Committee in accordance with the parameters set out in the Compensation Committee Charter. In accordance with the Compensation Committee Charter, the First Nordic Board has delegated to the Compensation Committee the following duties and responsibilities:

(a) recommend to the First Nordic Board: (i) the performance targets and corporate goals relevant to Management compensation and evaluate the performance of Management in relation to such goals; (ii) the proposed appointment of any person to Management; (iii) Management compensation; (iv) Non-Management Officer compensation; and (v) compensation of the directors who serve on the First Nordic Board or its committees.

(b) administer the Stock Option Plan and recommend the to the First Nordic Board all awards and benefits to be granted under such plan to Management and Non-Management Officers;

(c) with the assistance of Management, monitor compensation trends and recommend to the First Nordic Board compensation policies and plans for the Company; and

(d) review the Company's disclosure related to executive compensation disclosure and the Stock Option Plan;

First Nordic Metals Corp. – 2025 Information Circular


  • 5 -

In carrying out its duties, the Compensation Committee may engage outside consultants to aid in its review of the Company's compensation program and policies.

The First Nordic Board, as a whole and based on the recommendations of the Compensation Committee, aims to ensure that total compensation paid to Management, Non-Management Officers and directors is fair and reasonable. The First Nordic Board relies on the experience of its members as officers and directors with other junior mining companies in assessing compensation levels based on the recommendations provided by the Compensation Committee. No director or member of Management (including the Named Executive Officers (as hereinafter defined)) is permitted to purchase financial instruments that are designed to hedge or offset a decrease in the market value of the Company's equity securities held directly or indirectly.

Analysis of Elements

Base compensation is used to provide the Management and Non-Management Officers a set amount of money during the year with the expectation that each such person will perform his or her responsibilities to the best of his or her ability and in the best interests of the Company. The Company considers the granting of incentive stock options to be a significant component of executive compensation as it allows the Company to reward members of Management and Non-Management Officers' efforts to increase value for First Nordic Shareholders without requiring the Company to use cash from its treasury. Stock options are generally awarded to directors, officers, consultants, and employees periodically at the discretion of the First Nordic Board, on recommendation from the Compensation Committee. The terms and conditions of the Company's stock option grants, including vesting provisions and exercise prices, are governed by the terms of the Company's current 2017 stock option plan, which was most recently approved by First Nordic Shareholders at the annual general and special meeting held on June 26, 2024 (the "Stock Option Plan"). The First Nordic Board may, on a recommendation from the Compensation Committee, choose to grant a cash bonus to Management and Non-Management Officers during the year at its sole discretion. The amount and timing of such bonus will depend on the needs of the Company, the amount of cash in the treasury, and the relative amounts each member of management or consultant earns in fees each month.

Long-Term Compensation and Option-Based Awards

The Company has no long-term incentive plans other than the Stock Option Plan. The Company's directors, officers, employees, and consultants are entitled to participate in the Stock Option Plan. The Stock Option Plan is designed to encourage share ownership and entrepreneurship on the part of senior management, employees, and other consultants. The First Nordic Board believes that the Stock Option Plan aligns the interests of the Management, Non-Management Officers and the First Nordic Board with First Nordic Shareholders by linking a component of executive compensation to the longer-term performance of the First Nordic Shares.

Options to purchase First Nordic Shares under the terms of the Stock Option Plan (each, a "First Nordic Option") are granted by the First Nordic Board, on recommendations from the Compensation Committee. In monitoring or adjusting the First Nordic Option allotments, the Compensation Committee takes into account its own observations on individual performance (where possible) and its assessment of individual contribution to shareholder value, previous First Nordic Option grants and the objectives set for Management, Non-Management Officers and the First Nordic Board. In addition to determining the number of First Nordic Options to be granted pursuant to the methodology outlined above, the Compensation Committee, on behalf of the First Nordic Board, also makes the following determinations:

  • the parties who are entitled to participate in the Stock Option Plan;
  • the exercise price of each First Nordic Option granted;
  • the date on which each First Nordic Option is granted;
  • the vesting period, if any, for each First Nordic Option;
  • the other material terms and conditions of each First Nordic Option grant; and
  • any re-pricing, cancellation, or amendment to a First Nordic Option grant.

First Nordic Metals Corp. – 2025 Information Circular


  • 6 -

The Compensation Committee makes these determinations subject to and in accordance with the provisions of the Stock Option Plan. The First Nordic Board reviews and approves grants of First Nordic Options periodically during the financial year based on the recommendations of the Compensation Committee.

Pursuant to the Stock Option Plan, the First Nordic Board may grant First Nordic Options to directors, officers, employees and consultants as incentives. The number of First Nordic Options awarded to a recipient is determined by their position and their potential future contributions to First Nordic. The exercise price of First Nordic Options is determined by the First Nordic Board, on recommendation from the Compensation Committee, but will in no event be less than the closing trading price of the First Nordic Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") on the day before a First Nordic Option is granted.

The executive officers and First Nordic Board refer to the Compensation Committee with respect to setting or amending any equity incentive plans under which share-based or option-based awards are granted, including the Stock Option Plan. The Compensation Committee carries out these responsibilities in accordance with the Compensation Committee Charter.

Summary of Compensation

For the purposes of this Circular, "Named Executive Officer" means each of the following individuals:

(a) the chief executive officer ("CEO") of the Company during any part of the most recently completed financial year;

(b) the chief financial officer ("CFO") of the Company during any part of the most recently completed financial year;

(c) the most highly compensated executive officer, other than the CEO and CFO, at the end of the most recently completed financial year whose total compensation was, individually, more than $150,000, as determined in accordance with subsection 1.3(5) of Form 51-102F6V, for the year ended December 31, 2024; and

(d) each individual who would be a Named Executive Officer under paragraph (c) but for the fact that the individual was neither an executive officer, nor acting in a similar capacity, on December 31, 2024.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

The following is a summary of the Company's corporate governance disclosure required by Form 58-101F2 of National Instrument 58-101 - Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices.

First Nordic Board

The First Nordic Board, at present, is composed of six directors, two of whom are executive officers of the Company and four of whom are considered to be "independent", as that term is defined in applicable securities legislation. Messrs. Marc Legault, Toby Pierce, Jeffrey Couch and Henrik Lundin are considered to be independent directors. Mr. Taj Singh, CEO, and Mr. Adam Cegielski, CDO, by reason of their respective offices, are not. In determining whether a director is independent, the First Nordic Board chiefly considers whether the director has a relationship which could, or could be perceived to, interfere with the director's ability to objectively assess the performance of management.

The First Nordic Board is responsible for approving long-term strategic plans and annual operating plans and budgets recommended by management. First Nordic Board consideration and approval is also required for material contracts and business transactions, and all debt and equity financing transactions.

The First Nordic Board delegates to management responsibility for meeting defined corporate objectives, implementing approved strategic and operating plans, carrying on the Company's business in the ordinary course, managing the Company's cash flow, evaluating new business opportunities, recruiting staff, and complying with applicable regulatory requirements. The First Nordic Board also looks to management to furnish recommendations respecting corporate objectives, long-term strategic plans, and annual operating plans.

Directorships

Certain of the directors of the Company are also directors of other reporting issuers (or the equivalent) in a jurisdiction or a foreign jurisdiction as follows:

Jeffrey Couch^{(3)} Lydian Ventures, Gabriel Resources, H.R. Owen PLC, Trophy Funds IV
Henrik Lundin^{(4)} EMX Royalty Corp, United Lithium Corp, Transition Energy International AB

(1) Taj Singh was appointed to the Board of Directors on February 23, 2024
(2) Toby Pierce was appointed to the Board of Directors on February 23, 2024
(3) Jeffrey Couch was appointed to the Board of Directors on September 10, 2024
(4) Henrik Lundin was appointed to the Board of Directors on January 20, 2025

Orientation and Continuing Education

The Company has not yet developed an official orientation or training program for new directors. As required, new directors will have the opportunity to become familiar with the Company by meeting with the other directors and with officers and consultants. Orientation activities will be tailored to the particular needs and experience of each director and the overall needs of the First Nordic Board.

Ethical Business Conduct

The First Nordic Board monitors the ethical conduct of the Company and ensures that it complies with applicable legal and regulatory requirements, such as those of relevant securities commissions and stock exchanges. The First Nordic Board has found that the fiduciary duties placed on individual directors by the Company's governing corporate legislation and the common law, as well as the restrictions placed by applicable corporate legislation on the individual director's participation in decisions of the First Nordic Board in which the director has an interest, have been sufficient to ensure that the First Nordic Board operates independently of management and in the best interests of the Company. Every quarter, the members of the First Nordic Board, as well as the Company's officers and senior management, each sign a confirmation acknowledging the Company's code of ethical conduct and the following policies implemented by the Company: (i) conflicts of interest; (ii) insider trading; and (iii) discrimination, harassment, and bullying.

Nomination of Directors

The First Nordic Board has not appointed a nominating committee because the First Nordic Board fulfills these functions. The First Nordic Board periodically reviews suggestions from existing directors regarding potential changes to the First Nordic Board.

Compensation

All compensation matters are dealt with by the First Nordic Board upon recommendations by the Compensation Committee.

To determine compensation payable, the Compensation Committee reviews compensation paid to directors, CEOs, and CFOs of companies of similar size and stage of development. The Compensation Committee determines appropriate compensation reflecting the need to provide incentive and compensation for the time and effort expended by the directors and senior management, while taking into account the financial and other resources of the Company. In setting the compensation, the independent directors annually review the performance of the CEO and CFO in light of the Company's objectives and consider other factors that may have impacted the success of the Company in achieving its objectives.

First Nordic Metals Corp. – 2025 Information Circular


  • 14 -

In terms of specific experience of the Compensation Committee relevant to the determination of executive compensation, Gary Cope has an extensive history as an executive in the junior resource industry; Marc Legault has over 45 years of experience in the minerals industry; and Toby Pierce has 25 years of geological and financial understanding within the resource sector.

The Company is a small junior resource company with limited financial resources. The compensation program for senior management of the Company is designed within this context with a view that the level and form of compensation achieves certain objectives including attracting and retaining qualified executives, motivating the short and long-term performance of the executives, and aligning the interests of the executives with those of the First Nordic Shareholders.

The Compensation Committee may seek independent compensation advice where appropriate from external consultants in order to assist it in assessing executive remuneration levels and aligning directors and executive remuneration packages with comparable market compensation. The Compensation Committee has not yet engaged such external advice.

Committees of the First Nordic Board

The First Nordic Board has appointed an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee, and a Corporate Governance Committee, the members of which are as follows:

Audit Committee Compensation Committee Corporate Governance Committee
Toby Pierce* Toby Pierce* Toby Pierce*
Marc Legault* Marc Legault* Marc Legault*
Taj Singh

*Independent

A description of the function of the Audit Committee can be found in this Circular under the section entitled "Audit Committee". A description of the function of the Compensation Committee can be found in this Circular under the section entitled "Executive Compensation - Compensation Discussion and Analysis".

The purpose of the Corporate Governance Committee is to assist the First Nordic Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities with respect to corporate governance in general, and specifically to ensure that the requirements for the First Nordic Board and its activities conform to the Company's Corporate Governance Committee Charter, a copy of which is attached to this Circular as Appendix C.

Assessments

The First Nordic Board has not, as yet, adopted formal procedures for assessing the effectiveness of the First Nordic Board, its committees or individual directors, other than the reviews to be completed by the Compensation Committee from time to time. The relatively small size of the Company enables the First Nordic Board to satisfy itself that individual directors are performing effectively. As the Company grows, the First Nordic Board will consider adopting further formal procedures for evaluating director and committee performance.

AUDIT COMMITTEE

As at the date of this Circular, the Audit Committee is composed of Taj Singh, Toby Pierce and Marc Legault. Each of Messrs. Pierce and Legault are independent, and all of the members of the Audit Committee are "financially literate". Under this heading, the Company is including the disclosure required by Form 52-110F2 of NI 52-110. The text of the Audit Committee Charter is attached in Appendix A.

The First Nordic Board and management will ensure that the Audit Committee has adequate funding to fulfill its duties and responsibilities.

Audit Committee Oversight

Since the commencement of the Company's most recently completed financial year, the First Nordic Board has not failed to adopt a recommendation of the Audit Committee to nominate or compensate an external auditor.

Reliance on Certain Exemptions

Since the commencement of the Company's most recently completed financial year, the Company has not relied on the exemptions contained in Sections 2.4 or Part 8 of NI 52-110. Section 2.4 provides an exemption from the requirement that the Audit Committee must pre-approve all non-audit services to be provided by the auditor, where the total amount of fees related to the non-audit services are not expected to exceed 5% of the total amount of fees payable to the auditor in the financial year in which the non-audit services were provided. Part 8 permits a company to apply to a securities regulatory authority for an exemption from the requirements of NI 52-110, in whole or in part.

Under s. 5 (b)(c) and (d) of Form 52-110F2, the Company has not relied on any of the following exemptions:

4. Approval of Incentive Stock Option Plan

The only equity compensation plan which the Company currently has in place is the Stock Option Plan which was most recently approved by First Nordic Shareholders on June 26, 2024.

The intention of management with the Stock Option Plan is to give Eligible Persons (defined below) the opportunity to participate in the success of the Company by granting them First Nordic Options, thereby giving them an ongoing proprietary interest in the Company. The Stock Option Plan requires the approval of First Nordic Shareholders each year in the annual general and special meeting of First Nordic Shareholders in accordance TSXV Policy 4.4 – "Security Based Compensation" ("Policy 4.4") of the TSXV Corporate Finance Manual (the "Exchange Manual").

The Stock Option Plan is a rolling plan, with the Company authorized to reserve a maximum of 10% of the issued and outstanding share capital at the time of the grant. As a result, any increase in the number of issued and outstanding First Nordic Shares will result in an increase in the number of First Nordic Shares available for issuance under the Stock Option Plan.

Terms of the Stock Option Plan

A full copy of the Stock Option Plan will be available at the Meeting for review by First Nordic Shareholders. First Nordic Shareholders may also obtain copies of the Stock Option Plan from the Company before the Meeting on

Termination Before Expiry: Generally, First Nordic Options will expire and terminate on a date stipulated by the First Nordic Board at the time of grant. If the employment of a First Nordic Option holder who is an Eligible Person is terminated without cause, such First Nordic Option holder's First Nordic Options (vested or unvested) will terminate 90 days following notice of termination or on the expiry of such First Nordic Options, whichever is earlier. If the employment of a First Nordic Option holder who is an Eligible Person is terminated for cause, such First Nordic Option holder's First Nordic Options (vested or unvested) will terminate on the day of termination.

If a First Nordic Option holder dies, the vested First Nordic Options of the deceased First Nordic Option holder will be exercisable by his/her estate for a period not exceeding 12 months following the date of the deceased First Nordic Option holder's death or on the expiry of such vested First Nordic Options, whichever is earlier. If a First Nordic Option holder ceases to become an Eligible Person by virtue of disability, the First Nordic Board may allow such First Nordic Option holder to exercise any vested First Nordic Options for a period not exceeding 12 months following the date such First Nordic Option holder ceased to be an Eligible Person or on the expiry of such vested First Nordic Options, whichever is earlier. Upon any attempt to transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of a First Nordic Option, such First Nordic Option will, at the election of the Company, cease and terminate.

Exercise Price: Subject to any adjustments made pursuant to the Stock Option Plan, First Nordic Options granted under the terms of the Stock Option Plan will be exercisable at a price that is not less than the market price of the First Nordic Shares as of the date of grant, being the closing sale price of the First Nordic Shares on the TSXV on the last day that First Nordic Shares were traded before the date of grant.

Dividends: If a holder of a First Nordic Option is entitled to receive additional First Nordic Shares on an exercise of First Nordic Options as a result of a stock dividend and the Company does not have sufficient First Nordic Shares available under the Stock Option Plan to issue such additional First Nordic Shares, such additional First Nordic Shares so due on an exercise of First Nordic Options shall not be issued by the Company and the stock dividends must instead be settled in cash on the same terms and in the same manner as the stock dividends so issued by the Company.

Change of Control: If a Change of Control Event (as defined in the Stock Option Plan) occurs, then the First Nordic Board may authorize and implement one or more of the following actions: (a) accelerate the vesting of any First Nordic Options and any First Nordic Options that are not exercised or surrendered by the effective time of the Change of Control Event will be deemed to be expired; (b) offer to acquire from each First Nordic Option holder his or her First Nordic Options for a cash payment equal to the In the Money Amount (as defined in the Stock Option Plan) and any First Nordic Options that are not so surrendered by the effective time of the Change of Control Event will be deemed to be expired; and/or (c) deem that a First Nordic Option granted under the Stock Option Plan be exchanged for an option to acquire, for the same exercise price, that number and type of securities as would be distributed to a holder of First Nordic Options in respect of the First Nordic Shares issued to a First Nordic Option holder had he or she exercised the First Nordic Options before the effective time of the Change of Control Event, provided that any such replacement option must provide that it survives for a period of not less than one year from the effective time of the Change of Control Event, regardless of the continuing directorship, officership or employment of the First Nordic Option holder.

1. COMPOSITION OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

The Committee shall be comprised of at least three directors, each of whom will be independent to the extent possible and as regulated. No member of the Committee, to the extent possible, shall have participated in the preparation of the financial statements of the Company or any current subsidiary of the Company at any time during the preceding year. Each appointed Committee member shall be subject to annual reconfirmation after the Annual General Meeting and may be removed by the First Nordic Board of Directors at any time.

  1. CERTAIN ADJUSTMENTS

8.1 In the event of any reorganization, recapitalization, stock split, stock dividend, combination of shares, merger, consolidation, rights offering or any other corporate change involving a change to the Shares at any time after the grant of any Option to any Optionee and prior to the expiration of the term of such Option, such Optionee will receive at the time of any subsequent exercise of his or her Option in accordance with the terms hereof, in lieu of the number of Optioned Shares to which the Optionee was entitled upon such exercise, but for the same aggregate consideration therefor, such number of Optioned Shares as such Optionee would have held as a result of such change if on the record date thereof the Optionee had been the registered holder of the number of Optioned Shares to which the Optionee was previously entitled upon such exercise.

8.2 If the Corporation declares and pays a special cash dividend or other distribution out of the ordinary course, a special dividend in specie on the Shares, or a stock dividend other than in the ordinary course, the Option Price of all Options outstanding on the record date of such dividend or other distribution will be reduced by an amount equal to the cash payment or other distribution or the fair market value of the dividend in specie or stock dividend or other distribution, as determined by the Board in its sole discretion but subject to all necessary regulatory approvals.

8.3 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, any adjustment to an Option granted or issued under this Plan (except in relation to a consolidation or stock split) is subject to the prior approval of the Exchange.

8.4 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, if an Optionee is entitled to receive additional Optioned Shares on an exercise of Options as a result of a stock dividend and the Corporation does not have sufficient Shares available under this Plan to issue such additional Optioned Shares, such additional Optioned Shares so due on an exercise of Options shall not be issued by the Corporation and the stock dividends must instead be settled in cash on the same terms and in the same manner as the stock dividends so issued by the Corporation.

9. CHANGE OF CONTROL EVENT

9.1 If at any time when an Option granted under this Plan remains unexercised with respect to any Shares and:

(a) a Person makes an offer to acquire Shares that, regardless of whether the acquisition is completed, would make the Person an Acquiring Person;

(b) an Acquiring Person makes an offer, regardless of whether the acquisition is completed, to acquire Shares;

(c) the Corporation proposes to sell all or substantially all of its assets and undertaking;

(d) the Corporation proposes to merge, amalgamate or be absorbed by or into any other corporation (save and except for a Subsidiary) under any circumstances which involve or may involve or require the liquidation of the Corporation, a distribution of its assets among its shareholders, or the termination of the corporate existence of the Corporation;

(e) the Corporation proposes an arrangement as a result of which a majority of the outstanding Shares of the Corporation would be acquired by a third party; or

(f) any other form of transaction is proposed which the majority of the Board determines is reasonably likely to have similar effect any of the foregoing,

(each a "Change of Control Event"),

(g) then, in connection with of any of the foregoing Change of Control Events, the Board in its sole discretion, may authorize and implement one or more of the following courses of action:

(i) accelerate the vesting of the Option and the time for the fulfillment of any conditions or restrictions on such vesting to a date or time prior to the Effective Time of the Change of Control Event, and any Options not exercised or surrendered by the Effective Time of the Change of Control Event will be deemed to have expired;

(ii) offer to acquire from each Optionee his or her Options for a cash payment equal to the In the Money Amount, and any Options not so surrendered or exercised by the Effective Time of the Change of Control Event will be deemed to have expired; and

(iii) that an Option granted under this Plan be exchanged for an option to acquire, for the same exercise price, that number and type of securities as would be distributed to the Optionee in respect of the Shares issued to the Optionee had the Optionee exercised the Option prior to the Effective Time of the Change of Control Event, provided that any such replacement option must provide that it survives for a period of not less than one year from the Effective Time of the Change of Control Event, regardless of the continuing directorship, officership or employment of the holder.

9.2 For greater certainty, and notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained in this Plan, the Board will have the power, in its discretion, in any Change of Control Event which may or has occurred, to make such arrangements as it will deem appropriate for the exercise of outstanding Options including, without limitation, to modify the terms of this Plan and/or the Options, subject to the prior written approval of the Exchange. If the Board exercises such power after having received such approval from the Exchange, the Options will be deemed to have been amended to permit the exercise thereof in whole or in part by the Optionee at any time or from time to time as determined by the Board prior to or in conjunction with completion of the Change of Control Event.

9.3 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, the vesting terms of Options granted to Persons retained to perform Investor Relation Activities may not be amended without the prior approval of the Exchange.

10. AMENDMENT OR DISCONTINUANCE OF THIS PLAN

10.1 The Board may suspend or terminate this Plan at any time, or from time to time amend the terms of this Plan or of any Option granted under this Plan and any stock option agreement relating thereto, provided that any such suspension, termination or amendment:

(a) complies with applicable law and the requirements of the Exchange, including applicable requirements relating to requisite shareholder approval and prior approval of the Exchange or any other relevant regulatory body;

(b) is, in the case of an amendment that materially adversely affects the rights of any Optionee, made with consent of such Optionee;

(c) is, in the case of any reduction in the Option Price of Options held by Optionees that are Insiders at the time of the proposed reduction, subject to approval by disinterested shareholders of the Corporation in accordance with the Exchange Manual; and

(d) is, in the case of the extension of the Expiry Date of an Option held by Optionee that is an Insider at the time of the proposed extension, subject to approval by disinterested shareholders of the Corporation in accordance with the Exchange Manual.

10.2 If this Plan is terminated, the provisions of this Plan and any administrative guidelines and other rules and regulations adopted by the Board and in force on the date of termination will continue in effect as long as any Option or any rights pursuant thereto remain outstanding and, notwithstanding the termination of this Plan, the Board will remain able to make such amendments to this Plan or the Options as they would have been entitled to make if this Plan were still in effect.

11. WITHHOLDING OBLIGATIONS

11.1 The Corporation may withhold from any amount payable to an Optionee, either under this Plan or otherwise, such amounts as are required by law to be withheld or deducted as a consequence of the Optionee's exercise of Options or other participation in this Plan ("Withholding Obligations"). The Corporation will have the right, in its discretion, to satisfy any Withholding Obligations by:

(a) selling or causing to be sold, on behalf of any Optionee, such number of Shares issued to the Optionee on the exercise of Options as is sufficient to fund the Withholding Obligations;

(b) retaining the amount necessary to satisfy the Withholding Obligations from any amount which would otherwise be delivered, provided or paid to the Optionee by the Corporation, whether under this Plan or otherwise;

(c) requiring the Optionee, as a condition of exercise under Article 3 to:

(i) remit the amount of any such Withholding Obligations to the Corporation in advance;

(ii) reimburse the Corporation for any such Withholding Obligations; or

  • 10 -

(iii) cause a broker who sells Shares acquired by the Optionee on behalf of the Optionee to withhold from the proceeds realized from such sale the amount required to satisfy any such Withholding Obligations and to remit such amount directly to the Corporation; and

(d) making such other arrangements as the Corporation may reasonably require.

The sale of Shares by the Corporation, or by a broker engaged by the Corporation (the "Broker"), under this Section 11.1 will be made on the Exchange. The Optionee consents to such sale and grants to the Corporation an irrevocable power of attorney to affect the sale of such Shares on the Optionee's behalf and acknowledges and agrees that:

(i) the number of Shares sold will, at a minimum, be sufficient to fund Withholding Obligations net of all selling costs, which costs are the responsibility of the Optionee and which the Optionee hereby authorizes to be deducted from the proceeds of such sale;

(ii) in effecting the sale of any such shares, the Corporation or the Broker will exercise its sole judgement as to the timing and the manner of sale and will not be obligated to seek or obtain a minimum price; and

(iii) neither the Corporation nor the Broker will be liable for any loss arising out of any sale of such Shares including any loss relating to the pricing, manner or timing of such sales or any delay in transferring any Shares to an Optionee or otherwise. The Optionee further acknowledges that the sale price of Shares will fluctuate with the market price of the Corporation's Shares and no assurance can be given that any particular price will be received upon any sale.

11.2 For greater certainty, no action may be taken by the Corporation or any other Person pursuant to Section 11.1 that would result in:

(a) an alteration of the Exercise Price of the Options at issue; or

(b) a cashless exercise of the Options at issue,

and any action taken by the Corporation or any other Person pursuant to Section 11.1 must be in compliance with the Exchange Manual.

12. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

12.1 This Plan applies to all Options granted under this Plan after this Plan is approved by shareholders of the Corporation and the Exchange.

12.2 The operation of this Plan and the issuance and exercise of all Options and Optioned Shares contemplated by this Plan are subject to compliance with all applicable laws, and all rules and requirements of the Exchange.

12.3 As a condition of participating in this Plan, each Optionee agrees to comply with all applicable laws and the policies and requirements of the Exchange, and to fully cooperate with the Corporation in doing all such things, including executing and delivering all such agreements, undertakings or other documents or furnishing all such information as is reasonably necessary to facilitate compliance with such laws, rules and requirements, including all Withholding Obligations.

12.4 Participation in this Plan is voluntary and does not constitute a condition of employment or continued employment or service. An Optionee will not have any rights as a shareholder of the Corporation with respect to any of the Optioned Shares underlying any Option until the date of issuance of a certificate for Shares upon the exercise of such Option, in full or in part, and then only with respect to the Shares represented by such certificate or certificates. Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing, no adjustment will be made for dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such share certificate is issued.

12.5 Nothing in this Plan or any Option will confer upon an Optionee any right to continue or be re-elected as a director of the Corporation or any right to continue in the employ or engagement of the Corporation or any Subsidiary, or affect in any way the right of the Corporation or any Subsidiary to terminate the Optionee's employment or engagement at any time; nor will anything in this Plan or any Option be deemed or construed to constitute an agreement, or an expression of intent, on the part of the Corporation or any Subsidiary to extend the employment or engagement of any Optionee beyond the time which the Optionee would normally be retired pursuant to the provisions of any present or future retirement plan of the Corporation or any Subsidiary or any present or future retirement policy of the Corporation or any Subsidiary, or beyond the time at which the Optionee would otherwise be retired pursuant to the provisions of any contract of employment with the Corporation or any Subsidiary.

12.6 An Option will be personal to the Optionee and will be non-assignable and non-transferable (whether by operation of law or otherwise), except as provided for herein. Upon any attempt to transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of an Option contrary to the provisions of this Plan, or upon the levy of any attachment or similar process upon an Option, the Option will, at the election of the Corporation, cease and terminate and be of no further force or effect whatsoever.

12.7 This Plan (including any amendment to this Plan), the terms of the issue or grant of any Option under this Plan, the grant and exercise of Options hereunder, and the Corporation's obligation to sell and deliver Optioned Shares upon the exercise of Options, will be subject to all applicable law and the requirements of the Exchange, and to such approvals by any regulatory or governmental agency as may, in the opinion of counsel to the Corporation, be necessary or advisable. The Corporation will not be obliged by any provision of this Plan or the grant of any Option hereunder to issue or sell Shares in violation of such laws, rules and regulations or any condition of such approvals.

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