INNOCAN PHARMA CORPORATION MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR

SOLICITATION OF PROXIES

This management information circular (this “ Management Information Circular ”) is provided in connection with the solicitation of proxies by management of InnoCan Pharma Corporation (the “ Corporation ” or “ InnoCan ”) for use at the Annual and Special Meeting (the “ Meeting ”) of the holders (“ Shareholders ”) of common shares (“ Common Shares ”) in the capital of the Corporation. The Meeting will be held at the offices of the Corporation, 1015, 926 – 5 Avenue SW, Calgary, Alberta, T2P 0N7 , Calgary, Alberta on Tuesday, June 29, 2021 at 8:30 a.m. (Calgary Time), or at such other time or place to which the Meeting may be adjourned, for the purposes set forth in the notice of annual and special meeting accompanying this Management Information Circular (the “ Notice ”). Although it is expected that the solicitation of proxies will be primarily by mail, proxies may also be solicited personally or by telephone, facsimile or other means of electronic communication. In accordance with National Instrument 54-101 - Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer (“ NI 54-101 ”), arrangements have been made with brokerage houses and other intermediaries, clearing agencies, custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to forward solicitation materials to the beneficial owners of the Common Shares held of record by such persons and the Corporation may reimburse such persons for reasonable fees and disbursements incurred by them in doing so. The costs thereof will be borne by the Corporation.

These securityholder materials are being sent to both registered and non-registered owners of the securities. If you are a non-registered owner, and the issuer or its agent has sent these materials directly to you, your name and address and information about your holdings or securities, have been obtained in accordance with applicable securities regulatory requirements from the intermediary holding on your behalf.

Accompanying this Management Information Circular (and filed with applicable securities regulatory authorities) is a form of proxy for use at the Meeting (“ Instrument of Proxy ”). Each Shareholder who is entitled to attend at Shareholders’ meetings is encouraged to participate in the Meeting and Shareholders are urged to vote on matters to be considered in person or by proxy.

Unless otherwise stated, the information contained in this Management Information Circular is given as of May 26, 2021 (the “ Effective Date ”).

APPOINTMENT AND REVOCATION OF PROXIES

Appointment of a Proxy

Those Shareholders who wish to be represented at the Meeting by proxy must complete and deliver a proper form of proxy to the registered office of the Corporation Odyssey Trust Company (the “Transfer Agent”) either in person, or by mail or courier, to Stock Exchange Tower, 1230-300 5[th] Avenue SW, Calgary, Alberta T2P 3C4 or by email to [email protected] .

The persons named as proxyholders in the Instrument of Proxy accompanying this Management Information Circular are directors or officers of the Corporation and are

  • 6 -

representatives of the Corporation’s management for the Meeting. A Shareholder who wishes to appoint some other person (who need not be a Shareholder) as his or her representative at the Meeting may do so by either: (i) crossing out the names of the management nominees AND legibly printing the other person’s name in the blank space provided in the accompanying Instrument of Proxy; or (ii) completing another valid form of proxy. In either case, the completed form of proxy must be delivered to the Transfer Agent, at the place and within the time specified herein for the deposit of proxies. A Shareholder who appoints a proxy who is someone other than the management representatives named in the Instrument of Proxy should notify the nominee of the appointment, obtain the nominee’s consent to act as proxy, and provide instructions on how the Common Shares are to be voted. The nominee should bring personal identification to the Meeting. In any case, the form of proxy should be dated and executed by the Shareholder or an attorney authorized in writing, with proof of such authorization attached (where an attorney executed the proxy form).

In order to validly appoint a proxy, instruments of proxy must be received by the Transfer Agent (the address is stated above or in the Instrument of Proxy) at least 48 hours prior to the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. After such time, the chairman of the Meeting may accept or reject a form of proxy delivered to him in his discretion but is under no obligation to accept or reject any particular late form of proxy.

Revoking a Proxy

A Shareholder who has validly given a proxy may revoke it for any matter upon which a vote has not already been cast by the proxyholder appointed therein. In addition to revocation in any other manner permitted by law, a proxy may be revoked with an instrument in writing signed and delivered to either the registered office of the Corporation or Odyssey Trust Company (the “Transfer Agent”) either in person, or by mail or courier, to Stock Exchange Tower, 1230-300 5[th] Avenue SW, Calgary, Alberta T2P 3C4, at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the date of the Meeting, or any postponement or adjournment thereof at which the proxy is to be used, or deposited with the chairman of such Meeting on the day of the Meeting, or any postponement or adjournment thereof. The document used to revoke a proxy must be in writing and completed and signed by the Shareholder or his or her attorney authorized in writing or, if the Shareholder is a corporation, under its corporate seal or by an officer or attorney thereof duly authorized.

Also, a Shareholder who has given a proxy may attend the Meeting in person (or where the Shareholder is a corporation, its authorized representative may attend), revoke the proxy (by indicating such intention to the chairman before the proxy is exercised) and vote in person (or withhold from voting).

Signature on Proxies

The form of proxy must be executed by the Shareholder or his or her duly appointed attorney authorized in writing or, if the Shareholder is a corporation, by a duly authorized officer whose title must be indicated. A form of proxy signed by a person acting as attorney or in some other representative capacity should indicate that person’s capacity (following his signature) and should be accompanied by the appropriate instrument evidencing qualification and authority to act (unless such instrument has been previously filed with the Corporation).

  • 7 -

Voting of Proxies

Each Shareholder may instruct his proxy how to vote his or her Common Shares by completing the blanks on the Instrument of Proxy.

The Common Shares represented by the enclosed proxy will be voted or withheld from voting on any motion, by ballot or otherwise, in accordance with any indicated instructions. In the absence of such direction, such Common Shares will be voted IN FAVOUR OF PASSING THE RESOLUTIONS DESCRIBED IN THE INSTRUMENT OF PROXY AND BELOW. If any amendment or variation to the matters identified in the Notice is proposed at the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, or if any other matters properly come before the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, the accompanying Instrument of Proxy confers discretionary authority to vote on such amendments or variations or such other matters according to the best judgment of the appointed proxyholder. Unless otherwise stated, the Common Shares represented by a valid Instrument of Proxy will be voted in favour of the election of nominees set forth in this Management Information Circular except where a vacancy among such nominees occurs prior to the Meeting, in which case, such Common Shares may be voted in favour of another nominee in the proxyholder’s discretion. As at the Effective Date, management of the Corporation knows of no such amendments or variations or other matters to come before the Meeting.

Advice to Beneficial Shareholders

The information set forth in this section is of importance to many Shareholders, as a substantial number of Shareholders do not hold Common Shares in their own name. Shareholders who hold their Common Shares through their brokers, intermediaries, trustees or other persons, or who otherwise do not hold their Common Shares in their own name (referred to in this Management Information Circular as “ Beneficial Shareholders ”) should note that only proxies deposited by Shareholders who are registered shareholders (that is, shareholders whose names appear on the records maintained by the registrar and transfer agent for the Common Shares as registered holders of Common Shares) will be recognized and acted upon at the Meeting. If Common Shares are listed in an account statement provided to a Beneficial Shareholder by a broker, those Common Shares will, in all likelihood, not be registered in the Shareholder’s name. Such Common Shares will more likely be registered under the name of the Shareholder’s broker or an agent of that broker. In Canada, the vast majority of such shares are registered under the name of CDS & Co. (the registration name for CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc., which acts as nominee for many Canadian brokerage firms). Common Shares held by brokers (or their agents or nominees) on behalf of a broker’s client can only be voted at the direction of the Beneficial Shareholder. Without specific instructions, brokers and their agents and nominees are prohibited from voting shares for the broker’s clients. Therefore, each Beneficial Shareholder should ensure that voting instructions are communicated to the appropriate person well in advance of the Meeting.

Existing regulatory policy requires brokers and other intermediaries to seek voting instructions from Beneficial Shareholders in advance of shareholders’ meetings. The various brokers and other intermediaries have their own mailing procedures and provide their own return instructions to clients, which should be carefully followed by Beneficial Shareholders in order to ensure that their Common Shares are voted at the Meeting. The form of proxy supplied to a Beneficial Shareholder by its broker (or the agent of the broker) is substantially similar to the Instrument of Proxy provided directly to registered shareholders by the Corporation. However, its purpose is limited to instructing the registered shareholder (i.e., the broker or agent of the broker) how to vote on behalf of the Beneficial Shareholder. The vast majority of brokers now delegate

  • 8 -

responsibility for obtaining instructions from clients to Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“ BFS ”) in Canada. BFS typically prepares a machine-readable voting instruction form, mails those forms to Beneficial Shareholders and asks Beneficial Shareholders to return the forms to BFS, or otherwise communicate voting instructions to BFS (by way of the Internet or telephone, for example). BFS then tabulates the results of all instructions received and provides appropriate instructions respecting the voting of shares to be represented at the Meeting. A Beneficial Shareholder who receives a BFS voting instruction form cannot use that form to vote Common Shares directly at the Meeting. The voting instruction forms must be returned to BFS (or instructions respecting the voting of Common Shares must otherwise be communicated to BFS) well in advance of the Meeting in order to have the Common Shares voted. If you have any questions respecting the voting of Common Shares held through a broker or other intermediary, please contact that broker or other intermediary for assistance.

Although a Beneficial Shareholder may not be recognized directly at the Meeting for the purposes of voting Common Shares registered in the name of his broker, CDS & Co. or another intermediary, the Beneficial Shareholder may attend the Meeting as proxyholder and vote the Common Shares in that capacity. Beneficial Shareholders who wish to attend the Meeting and indirectly vote their Common Shares as proxyholder, should enter their own names in the blank space on the Instrument of Proxy provided to them and return the same to their broker (or the broker’s agent) in accordance with the instructions provided by such broker.

All references to Shareholders in this Management Information Circular and the accompanying Instrument of Proxy and Notice are to registered Shareholders unless specifically stated otherwise.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

The Corporation's executive compensation is intended to be consistent with the Corporation's business plans, strategies and goals while taking into account various factors and criteria, including competitive factors and the Corporation's performance. The Corporation's executive compensation is intended to provide an appropriate overall compensation package that permits the Corporation to attract and retain highly qualified and experienced senior executives and to encourage superior performance by the Corporation. The Corporation's compensation policies are intended to motivate individuals to achieve and to award compensation based on corporate and individual results. Compensation for the NEOs is intended to reflect a fair evaluation of overall performance.

The Board of Directors considered the following objectives when reviewing annual compensation: (i) retaining individuals critical to the growth and overall success of the Corporation; (ii) rewarding achievements of individuals; (iii) providing fair and competitive compensation; and (iv) compensating individuals based on their performance.

The Board of Directors would consider the foregoing compensation philosophy, as well as the financial performance of the Corporation as a whole, in any review of base salaries. The base salary review for the NEO is based on an assessment of factors such as current market conditions and particular skills, including leadership ability and management effectiveness, experience, responsibility and proven or expected performance.

The Board of Directors has not appointed a compensation committee and the responsibilities relating to executive and director compensation, including reviewing and recommending director compensation, overseeing the Corporation's base compensation structure and equity-based compensation program, recommending compensation of the Corporation's officers and employees, and evaluating the performance of officers generally and in light of annual goals and objectives, is performed by the Board of Directors as a whole. The Board of Directors also assumes responsibility for reviewing and monitoring the long-range compensation strategy for the Corporation's senior management. The Board of Directors plans to review compensation of senior management on an annual basis.

  • 10 -

The Corporation is aware that compensation practices can have unintended risk consequences. At the present time, the Board of Directors is satisfied that the current executive compensation program does not encourage the executives to expose the business to inappropriate risk.

When determining individual compensation levels for the Corporation's NEOs, a variety of factors will be considered including: the overall financial and operating performance of the Corporation, each NEO's individual performance and contribution towards meeting corporate objectives and each NEO's level of responsibility and length of service.

The Corporation has adopted the Option Plan to assist the Corporation in attracting, retaining and motivating directors, officers, employees, consultants and contractors of the Corporation and of its Affiliates and to closely align the personal interests of such service providers with the interests of the Corporation and its shareholders. As of the date of this Circular, the Corporation has granted 18,278,708 Options. See “Compensation Securities”.

Director and Named Executive Officer Compensation, excluding Compensation Securities

For the purposes of this Management Information Circular, a “ Named Executive Officer ” or “ NEO ” of the Corporation means each of the following individuals:

  • (a) each individual who, in respect of the Corporation, during any part of the most recently completed financial year, served as CEO;

  • (b) each individual who, in respect of the Corporation, during any part of the most recently completed financial year, served as CFO;

  • (c) in respect of the Corporation and its subsidiaries, the most highly compensated executive officer, other than the individuals identified above, at the end of the most recently completed financial year whose total compensation was more than $150,000, as determined in accordance with subsection 1.3(5) of Form 52-102F6V, for that financial year; and

  • (d) each individual who would be an NEO under paragraph (c) but for the fact that the individual was not an executive officer of the Corporation at the end of that financial year.

The Corporation had four (4) Named Executive Officers during the financial year ended December 31, 2020, being Iris Bincovich, the Corporation’s current CEO, Nelson Halpern, the Corporation’s CFO, Ron Mayron, the Corporation's chairman of the board of directors and Yoram Drucker, the VP Business Development of InnoCan Pharma Ltd.

Stock Option Plans and Other Incentive Plans

Stock Options

The Corporation has adopted an Option Plan (the “ Option Plan ”) which provides eligible directors, officers, employees, advisory board and consultants with the opportunity to acquire an ownership interest in the Corporation and is the basis for the Corporation's long-term incentive scheme. The key features of the Option Plan are as follows:

  • the maximum number of Common Shares issuable under the Option Plan shall not exceed 15% of the number of Common Shares issued and outstanding as of each award date,

  • 13 -

inclusive of all Common Shares reserved for issuance pursuant to previously granted Options;

  • the Options have a maximum term of five (5) years from the date of issue;

  • Options vest as the Board of Directors may determine upon the award of the Options;

  • the exercise price of Options granted under the Option Plan will be determined by the Board of Directors, but will not be less than the greater of the closing market price of the Common Shares on the CSE on (i) the trading day prior to the date of grant of the Options; and (ii) the date of grant of the Options; and

  • the expiry date of an Option shall be the earlier of the date fixed by the Board of Directors on the award date, and:

  • (i) in the event of the death of the option holder while he or she is a director or employee (other than an employee performing investor relations activities), 12 months from the date of death of the option holder, or while he or she is a consultant or an employee performing investor relations activities, 30 days from the date of death of the Option holder;

  • (ii) in the event that the option holder holds his or her option as a director and such option holder ceases to be a director of the Corporation other than by reason of death, 90 days following the date the option holder ceases to be a director (provided however that if the option holder continues to be engaged by the Corporation as an employee or consultant, the expiry date shall remain unchanged), unless the option holder ceases to be a director as a result of ceasing to meet the qualifications set forth in section 105 of the CBCA or an ordinary resolution is passed by the shareholders of the Corporation pursuant to section 109 of the CBCA, in which case the expiry date will be the date that the option holder ceases to be a director of the Corporation;

  • (iii) in the event that the option holder holds his or her Options as an employee or consultant of the Corporation (other than an employee or consultant performing investor relations activities) and such option holder ceases to be an employee or consultant of the Corporation other than by reason of death, 30 days following the date the option holder ceases to be an employee or consultant, unless the option holder ceases to be such as a result of termination for cause or an order of the Alberta Securities Commission, the CSE or any regulatory body having jurisdiction to so order, in which case the expiry date shall be the date the option holder ceases to be an employee or consultant of the Corporation; and

  • (iv) in the event that the option holder holds his or her Options as an employee or consultant of the Corporation who provides investor relations activities on behalf of the Corporation, and such option holder ceases to be an employee or consultant of the Corporation other than by reason of death, the expiry date shall be the date the option holder ceases to be an employee or consultant of the Corporation.

The Option Plan may be terminated at any time by resolution of the Board of Directors, but any such termination will not affect or prejudice rights of participants holding Options at that time. If

  • 14 -

the Option Plan is terminated, outstanding Options will continue to be governed by the provisions of the Option Plan.

At the meeting, shareholders of the Corporation will be asked to approve an ordinary resolution ratifying, confirming, and approving the amendment to the Corporation’s existing Option Plan that contemplates the issuance of restricted shares and restricted share units. See “Matters to be Considered at the Meeting – Amendment to the Stock Option Plan”.

Deferred Share Units

A Deferred Share Unit Plan (the “ DSU Plan ”) was approved as an alternative form of compensation for outside directors. Under the DSU Plan, directors can receive their retainer and meeting fees as deferred share units (“ DSUs ”). The number of DSUs issued to directors will be equal to the director's retainer and fees for the period divided by the current market price of the Common Shares on the day prior to the last day of the applicable quarter. A DSU is a bookkeeping entry that tracks the value of one Common Share. DSUs are settled by a cash payment when the director leaves the Board, providing an ongoing alignment of interests between directors of the Corporation and Shareholders during the director's term of service. The cash payment equals the number of DSUs held by the director multiplied by the current market price of the Common Shares on the date of redemption.

Under the terms of the DSU Plan, DSUs awarded will vest immediately upon grant and will not be subject to satisfaction of any requirements as to any minimum period of membership on the Board. No amount will be paid to a director under the DSU Plan or any other arrangement, and no additional DSUs will be granted to a director to compensate for a downward fluctuation in the market value of the Common Shares. In the event cash dividends are paid to holders of Common Shares, additional DSUs will be granted to holders of DSUs in numbers calculated by dividing the dividends that would have been paid if the DSUs granted as at the record date for the dividend had been Common Shares by the current market price for Common Shares on the trading day immediately prior to the date of payment. The Board may, in its sole discretion, terminate or modify the percentage of fees to be awarded as DSUs to a director, in which case the director would receive all or a portion of the retainer and fee compensation in cash.

If the Surrender Offer, either as made or as renegotiated, is accepted, the Awards in respect of which the Surrender Offer relates shall be surrendered and deemed to be terminated and cancelled and shall cease to grant the Participant any further rights thereunder upon payment of the amount of the agreed Surrender Offer by the Corporation to the Participant.

19. Adjustments

If the outstanding Shares of the Corporation are increased, decreased, changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or securities of the Corporation through reorganization, merger, re-capitalization, re-classification, stock dividend, subdivision or consolidation, an appropriate and proportionate adjustment shall be made by the Board in its discretion acting reasonably in the number or kind of Shares awarded and the exercise price or purchase price (as applicable) per Share, as regards previously granted and unexercised and/or unvested (as applicable) Awards or portions thereof, and as regards Awards which may be granted subsequent to any such change in the Corporation’s capital.

If the Plan and unexercised and/or unvested (as applicable) Awards shall terminate pursuant to the foregoing sentence, the Shares subject to all Awards granted shall immediately vest and all Participants then entitled to exercise an unexercised and/or unvested portion of Awards then outstanding shall have the right at such time immediately prior to consummation of the event which results in the termination of the Plan as the Corporation shall designate, to exercise or purchase (as applicable) their Awards to the full extent not theretofore exercised or purchased (as applicable).

Adjustments under this Section 19 shall be made by the Board whose determination as to what adjustments shall be made, and the extent thereof, shall be final, binding and conclusive. No fractional Share shall be required to be issued under the Plan on any such adjustment.

20. Transferability

All benefits, rights and Awards accruing to any Participant in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan and an Award Agreement shall not be transferable or assignable unless specifically provided herein and to the extent, if any, permitted by the Exchange.

22. Necessary Approvals

The ability of a Participant to exercise or purchase (as applicable) Awards and the obligation of the Corporation to issue and deliver Shares in accordance with the Plan is subject to any approvals which may be required from shareholders of the Corporation and any regulatory authority or Exchange having jurisdiction over the securities of the Corporation. If any Shares cannot be issued to any Participant for whatever reason, the obligation of the Corporation to issue such Shares shall terminate and any Award exercise price or purchase price (as applicable) paid to the Corporation will be returned to the Participant.

23. Tax Withholding

The Corporation shall have the power and the right to deduct or withhold, or require (as a condition of exercise pursuant to Section 10 or 1311 hereof or as a condition of accepting a Surrender Offer ) a Participant to remit to the Corporation, the required amount to satisfy, in whole or in part, federal, provincial, and local taxes, domestic or foreign, required by law or regulation to be withheld in respect to any taxable event arising as a result of the Plan, including the grant or exercise or purchase of Awards granted under the Plan. With respect to required withholding, the Corporation shall have the irrevocable right to (and the Participant consents to) the Corporation setting off any amounts required to be withheld, in whole or in part, against amounts otherwise owing by the Corporation to such Participant (whether arising pursuant to the Participant making a Surrender Offer or as a result of the Participant providing services on an ongoing basis to the Corporation or otherwise), or may make such other arrangements satisfactory to the Participant and the Corporation. In addition, the Corporation may elect in its sole discretion, to satisfy the withholding requirement, in whole or in part, by withholding such number of Shares as it determines are required to be sold by the Corporation, as trustee to satisfy the withholding obligation net of selling costs (which costs shall be the responsibility of the Participant and which shall be and are authorized to be deducted from the proceeds of the sale).

25. Independent Advice

Participants are encouraged to seek tax advice in respect of the grant and exercise or purchase (as applicable) of Awards and the issuance of the resulting Shares. Participants who are not employees, officers or directors of the Corporation (i.e., consultants and other service providers) should be aware that the tax consequences of being granted and exercising or purchasing (as applicable) Awards and selling Shares may be materially less favourable than the consequences to employees, officers and directors of the Corporation who are granted Awards as such and receive the benefit of the “stock option rules” under the Income Tax Act (Canada) .

26. Effective Date of Plan

The Plan has been adopted by the Board of the Corporation subject to the approval of the Exchange and, if so approved, subject to the discretion of the Board, the Plan shall become effective upon such approvals being obtained.
