The Meeting will also consider any permitted amendment to or variation of any matter identified in this Notice, and transact such other business as may properly come before the Meeting or any adjournment thereof.

Notice-and-Access Provisions

The Company has chosen to use provisions of National Instrument 54-101 Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer and National Instrument 51-102 Continuous Disclosure Obligations (together the "Notice-and-Access Provisions") for this Meeting. Notice-and-Access Provisions are a set of rules developed by the Canadian Securities Administrators, which aim to reduce the volume of printed materials to be mailed to shareholders by allowing the Company to post its Circular and any additional materials online. Shareholders will receive this Notice of Meeting and a form of proxy (together the "notice package"), and a shareholder may choose to receive a paper copy of the Circular. The Company will not use 'stratification' in relation to Notice-and-Access Provisions, which occurs when an issuer using Notice-and-Access Provisions provides a paper copy of the Circular to some shareholders with the notice package. In relation to the Meeting, all shareholders will receive the required documentation under Notice-and-Access Provisions, which will not include a paper copy of the Circular.


2

This Notice also explains how you may request a paper copy of the Circular, if that is your preference. You will not obtain a paper copy of our Circular unless you request it, even if you have received paper copies in the past. See the instructions below under “How to Request a Paper Copy of the Meeting Materials”.

We are using notice-and-access because it gives our shareholders the information they need to vote their common shares in the format of their choice, while substantially reducing our printing and mailing costs, and having less environmental impact. Under the Notice-and-Access Provisions, Meeting related materials will be available for viewing for up to 1 year from the date of posting and a paper copy of the materials can be requested at any time during this period.

A copy of the Circular is posted for viewing and available on the Company’s website at https://plurilock.com/company/investors/. Please review the Circular before voting.

HOW TO VOTE IF YOU ARE A REGISTERED SHAREHOLDER

You cannot vote by returning this Notice. Shareholders are encouraged to review the Circular for guidance on how to vote their common shares, which is also described below.

Registered shareholders electing to submit a form of proxy (“Proxy”) may do so no later than 11:00 am (Pacific Time) on Monday, June 23, 2025 (the “Voting Deadline”) by:

(a) completing, dating and signing the enclosed Proxy and returning it to Odyssey Trust Company (the “Transfer Agent”) at Suite 702, 67 Yonge Street, Toronto, Ontario M5E 1J8;

(b) by email to [email protected]; or

(c) using the internet through https://login.odysseytrust.com/pxlogin and click VOTE. You will require the CONTROL NUMBER printed with your address to the right on your Proxy form. If you vote via the Internet, do not mail the Proxy form in.

HOW TO VOTE IF YOU ARE A NON-REGISTERED SHAREHOLDER

If your common shares are held in a brokerage account you are not a registered shareholder. Unregistered shareholders must follow the instructions set out in the voting instruction form (“VIF”) provided by their intermediary to ensure that their common shares will be voted at the Meeting.

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR

as at May 9, 2025
(except as otherwise indicated)

This Management Information Circular (the "Circular") is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the management of Plurilock Security Inc. (the "Company") for use at the annual general meeting (the "Meeting") of its shareholders (the "Shareholders") to be held on Wednesday, June 25, 2025 at the time and place and for the purposes set forth in the accompanying notice of the meeting (the "Notice of Meeting").

In this Circular, references to the "Company", "we", "our" and "Plurilock" refer to Plurilock Security Inc. and the "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 his or her 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 Shareholders 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.

Notice-and-Access

Notice-and-Access means provisions ("Notice-and-Access Provisions") concerning the delivery of proxy-related materials to (i) Registered Shareholders found in section 9.1.1 of National Instrument 51-102 Continuous Disclosure Obligations ("NI 51-102"), and (ii) non-registered Beneficial Shareholders ("Non-Registered Shareholders") found in section 2.7.1 of National Instrument 54-101 Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer ("NI 54-101"), which allow an issuer to deliver an information circular forming part of proxy-related materials to Shareholders via certain specified electronic means provided that the conditions of NI 51-102 and NI 54-101 are met.

Notice-and-Access Provisions are a mechanism which allows reporting issuers other than investment funds to choose to deliver proxy-related materials to Registered Shareholders and Beneficial Shareholders of securities by posting such materials on a non-SEDAR+ website (usually the reporting issuer's website and sometimes the transfer agent's website) rather than delivering such materials by mail. Notice-and-Access Provisions can be used to deliver materials for both special and general meetings. Reporting issuers may still choose to continue to deliver such materials by mail, and Beneficial Shareholders are entitled to request delivery of a paper copy of the Circular at the reporting issuer's expense.

Use of Notice-and-Access Provisions reduces paper waste and mailing costs to the issuer. To utilize Notice-and-Access Provisions to deliver proxy-related materials by posting an information circular (and if applicable, other materials) electronically on a website that is not SEDAR+, the Company must send a notice to Shareholders, including Non-Registered Shareholders, indicating that the proxy-related materials have been posted on the website and explaining how a Shareholder can access them or obtain from the Company, a paper copy of the information circular.


2

This Circular has been posted in full on the Company’s website at https://www.plurilock.com/company/shareholder-meetings/ and is also available for viewing under the Company’s SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca.

In order to use Notice-and-Access Provisions, a reporting issuer must set the record date for notice of the Meeting to be on a date that is at least 40 days prior to the Meeting in order to ensure there is sufficient time for the Circular to be posted on the applicable website and other materials to be delivered to Shareholders. The requirements of that notice, which require the Company to provide basic information about the Meeting and the matters to be voted on, explain how a Shareholder can obtain a paper copy of the Circular and any related financial statements and management’s discussion and analysis (“MD&A”), and explain the Notice-and-Access Provisions process, have been built into the Notice of Meeting. The Notice of Meeting has been delivered to Shareholders by the Company, along with the applicable voting document (a form of proxy in the case of Registered Shareholders or a voting instruction form in the case of Non-Registered Shareholders).

The Company will not rely upon the use of ‘stratification’. Stratification occurs when a reporting issuer using the Notice-and-Access Provisions provides a paper copy of its Circular with the Notice of Meeting to be provided to Shareholders as described above. In relation to the Meeting, all Shareholders will receive the required documentation under the Notice-and-Access Provisions and all documents required to vote in respect of all matters to be voted on at the Meeting. No Shareholder will receive a paper copy of the Circular from the Company or any intermediary unless such Shareholder specifically requests the same.

The Circular is available for review at https://www.plurilock.com/company/shareholder-meetings/, being the website address to the Company’s Investors – Shareholder Meetings page. Any Shareholder who wishes to obtain a paper copy of the Circular, should contact the Transfer Agent (as defined below) at 1-888-290-1175 (toll-free within North America) or 1-587-885-0960 (direct from outside North America). A Shareholder may also use these toll-free numbers to obtain additional information about Notice-and-Access Provisions. To ensure that a paper copy of the Circular can be delivered to a requesting Shareholder in time for them to review the Circular and return a proxy or voting instruction form no later than 11:00 am (Pacific Time) on Monday, June 23, 2025 (the “Voting Deadline”), your request must be received by the Company no later than June 18, 2025 (this factors the three-business day period for processing requests as well as typical mailing times).

In accordance with the requirements of NI 54-101, the Company distributes copies of the Notice of Meeting and the form of proxy (collectively, the “notice package”) to the Depository and Intermediaries for onward distribution to Beneficial Shareholders. The Company does not send the notice package directly to Non-Registered Shareholders. Intermediaries are required to forward the notice package to all Beneficial Shareholders for whom they hold common shares unless such Beneficial Shareholders have waived the right to receive them.

Appointment of Proxyholders

The individuals named in the accompanying form of proxy (the “Proxy”) are officers and/or 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:

  1. 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,
  2. any amendment to or variation of any matter identified therein, and
  3. any other matter that properly comes before the Meeting.

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


3

Registered Shareholders

If you are a Registered Shareholder and wish to have your common shares voted at the Meeting, you will be required to submit your vote by Proxy in advance of the Meeting. Registered Shareholders electing to submit a Proxy may do so no later than the Voting Deadline, by choosing one of the following methods:

(a) by mail: complete, date and sign the enclosed Proxy and returning it to Odyssey Trust Company (the "Transfer Agent"), Proxy Department, at Suite 702, 67 Yonge Street, Toronto, Ontario M5E 1J8;
(b) by email: to [email protected]; or
(c) via Internet: to vote your Proxy online, please visit https://login.odysseytrust.com/pxlogin and click on VOTE. You will require the CONTROL NUMBER printed with your address to the right on your Proxy form. If you vote via the Internet, do not mail the Proxy form in.

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 a Proxy properly may result in its invalidation. The time limit for the deposit of Proxies may be waived by the Company's board of directors (the "Board") at its discretion without notice. Please note that the Company is offering Shareholders the ability to listen and participate (but not vote) at the Meeting in real time.

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 the only proxies that can be recognized and acted upon at the Meeting are those deposited by Registered Shareholders (those whose names appear on the records of the Company as the registered holders of common shares) or as set out in the following disclosure.

If common shares are listed in an account statement provided to a Shareholder by a broker, then in almost all cases those common shares will not be registered in the Shareholder's name on the records of the Company. Such common shares will more likely be registered under the name of the Shareholder's broker or an agent of that broker. 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). In the United States of America (the "U.S." or the "United States") the vast majority of such common shares are registered under the name of Cede & Co. as nominee for The Depository Trust Company (which acts as depository for many U.S. brokerage firms and custodian banks).

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

There are two kinds of Beneficial Shareholders - those who object to their name being made known to the issuers of securities which they own (called "OBOs" for "Objecting Beneficial Owners") and those who do not object to the issuers of the securities they own knowing who they are (called "NOBOs" for "Non-Objecting Beneficial Owners").

These securityholder materials are sent to both Registered Shareholders and Non-Registered Shareholders of the securities of the Company. If you are a Non-Registered Shareholder, and the Company or its agent sent these materials directly to you, your name, address and information about your holdings of securities, were obtained in accordance with applicable securities regulatory requirements from the intermediary holding securities on your behalf.

Beneficial Shareholders who are OBOs should follow the instructions of their intermediary carefully to ensure that their common shares are voted at the Meeting.

The form of proxy supplied to you by your broker will be similar to the Proxy provided by the Company to Registered Shareholders. However, its purpose is limited to instructing the intermediary on how to vote on your behalf. Most brokers now 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 a proxy provided by the Company. The VIF will name the same persons as the Company's Proxy to represent you at the Meeting. You have the right to appoint a person (who need not be a Beneficial Shareholder of the Company), different from 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 your desired representative (which may be you) in the blank


4

space provided in the VIF. Once you have completed and signed your VIF, return it to Broadridge by mail or facsimile, or deliver your voting instructions to Broadridge by phone or via the internet, in accordance with Broadridge's instructions. Broadridge tabulates the results of all instructions received and provides appropriate instructions respecting the voting of common shares to be represented at the Meeting. If you receive a VIF from Broadridge, it must be completed and returned to Broadridge, in accordance with Broadridge's instructions, well in advance of the Meeting in order to: (a) have your common shares voted at the Meeting as per your instructions; or (b) have an alternate representative chosen by you duly appointed to attend and vote your common shares at the Meeting.

Notice to Shareholders in the United States

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

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

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 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 duly authorized attorney, and by delivering the Proxy bearing a later date to Odyssey Trust Company, Proxy Department, at Suite 702, 67 Yonge Street, Toronto, Ontario M5E 1J8, 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.

A revocation of a proxy will not affect a matter on which a vote is taken before the revocation.

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 completed financial year 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, as further described below.

VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS OF VOTING SECURITIES

The Company was incorporated under the BCBCA on July 5, 2018 as Libby K Industries Inc. The Company subsequently changed its name to Plurilock Security Inc. on September 16, 2020.

The Board has fixed May 9, 2025 as the record date (the "Record Date") for determining persons entitled to receive notice of the Meeting. Only Shareholders of record at the close of business on the Record Date who complete, sign and deliver a form of Proxy in the manner and subject to the provisions described above will be entitled to vote in advance of the Meeting.


5

The common shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV” or the “Exchange”) under stock symbol “PLUR” and the Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of common shares without par value. As at the Record Date, a total of 78,526,869 common shares without par value were 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.

To the knowledge of the directors and executive officers of the Company, no person or company beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, or exercises control or direction over, common shares carrying more than 10% of the voting rights attached to the outstanding common shares.

VOTES NECESSARY TO PASS RESOLUTIONS

A simple majority of affirmative votes cast at the Meeting is required to pass the ordinary 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.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The consolidated audited financial statements of the Company for the financial year ended December 31, 2024, the report of the auditor thereon and the related MD&A will be placed before Shareholders at the Meeting for their consideration. No formal action will be taken at the Meeting to approve the financial statements. If any Shareholder has questions regarding such financial statements, such questions may be brought forward at the Meeting. See Additional Information below.

NUMBER OF DIRECTORS

At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to pass an ordinary resolution to set the number of directors of the Company at five (5). An ordinary resolution needs to be passed by a simple majority of the votes cast by the Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Meeting.

Management recommends the approval of setting the number of directors of the Company at five (5).

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

At present, the directors of the Company are elected at each annual general meeting and hold office until the next annual general meeting, or until their successors are duly elected or appointed in accordance with the Company’s Articles or until such director’s earlier death, resignation or removal.

Unless otherwise directed, the persons named in the enclosed Proxy intend to vote FOR the appointment of MNP as auditor of the Company until the close of the next annual general meeting.

AUDIT COMMITTEE DISCLOSURE

Under National Instrument 52-110 Audit Committees (“NI 52-110”), a reporting issuer is required to provide disclosure annually with respect to its audit committee, including the text of its audit committee charter, information regarding composition of the audit committee, and information regarding fees paid to its external auditor. The Company provides the following disclosure with respect to its audit committee (the “Audit Committee”).

The Audit Committee Charter

The full text of the Company’s audit committee charter (the “Audit Committee Charter”) is attached to the Company’s Circular dated November 30, 2019 and was filed on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca on December 9, 2019 and is specifically incorporated by reference into, and forms an integral part of, this Circular.

Composition of the Audit Committee

The current members of the Audit Committee are Jennifer Swindell (Chair), Blake Corbet and Ali Hakimzadeh. All members of the Audit Committee are considered to be financially literate and all are not executive officers of the Company and, therefore, are independent members of the Audit Committee.

A member of the Audit Committee is independent if the member has no direct or indirect material relationship with the Company. A material relationship means a relationship which could, in the Board’s reasonable opinion, interfere with the exercise of a member’s independent judgement.

A member of the Audit Committee is considered financially literate if he or she has the ability to read and understand a set of financial statements presenting a breadth and level of complexity of accounting issues generally comparable to the breadth and complexity of issues one can reasonably expect to be raised by the Company. All Audit Committee members are considered to be financially literate.

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

The Audit Committee has not adopted specific policies and procedures for the engagement of non-audit services.

During the financial year ended December 31, 2024, the Audit Committee pre-approved a number of specific non-audit services, namely, tax advisory services.

External Auditor Service Fees

The Audit Committee has reviewed the nature and amount of the non-audited services provided by MNP to the Company to ensure auditor independence. MNP was appointed the auditor of the Company on July 2, 2024. The following table outlines the fees incurred by MNP, for audit and non-audit services in the financial year ended December 31, 2024.

The Audit Committee had reviewed the nature and amount of the non-audit services provided by the former auditor, Forvis Mazars LLP (formerly Mazars, LLP), Chartered Professional Accountants ("Forvis Mazars") to the Company to ensure auditor independence. Forvis Mazars was appointed the auditor of the Company from September 15, 2021 to May 9, 2025. The following table outlines the fees incurred with Forvis Mazars for audit and non-audit services in the financial year ended December 31, 2023.

Audit Fees include fees for review of tax provisions and for accounting consultations on matters reflected in the financial statements. Audit Fees also include audit or other attest services required by legislation or regulation, such as comfort letters, consents, reviews of securities filings and statutory audits.

(2) "Audit-Related Fees" include services that are traditionally performed by the auditor. These audit-related services include employee benefit audits, due diligence assistance, accounting consultations on proposed transactions, internal control reviews and audit or attest services not required by legislation or regulation.

(3) "Tax Fees" include fees for all tax services other than those included in "Audit Fees" and "Audit-Related Fees". This category includes fees for tax compliance, tax planning and tax advice. Tax planning and tax advice includes assistance with tax audits and appeals, tax advice related to mergers and acquisitions, and requests for rulings or technical advice from tax authorities.

(4) "All Other Fees" include all other non-audit services.

Exemption

The Company is relying upon the exemption in section 6.1 of NI 52-110 in respect of the composition of its Audit Committee and in respect of its reporting obligations under NI 52-110 for the year ended December 31, 2024. This exemption exempts a "venture issuer" from the requirement to have 100% of the members of its Audit Committee independent, as would otherwise be required by NI 52-110.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

National Instrument 58-101 Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices ("NI 58-101") requires issuers to disclose their corporate governance practices and National Policy 58-201 Corporate Governance Guidelines ("NP 58-201") provides guidance on corporate governance practices. This section sets out the Company's approach to corporate governance and addresses the Company's compliance with NI 58-101.


10

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 company's shareholders. 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.

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 Board's opinion, be reasonably expected to interfere with the exercise of a director's independent judgment.

The Board facilitates its independent supervision over management of the Company through frequent meetings of the Board at which members of management or non-independent directors are not in attendance and by retaining independent consultants where it deems necessary.

Management is delegated the responsibility for meeting defined corporate objectives, implementing approved strategic and operating plans, carrying on the Company's business in the ordinary course, managing cash flow, evaluating new business opportunities, recruiting staff and complying with applicable regulatory requirements. The Board facilitates its independent supervision over management by reviewing and approving long-term strategic, business and capital plans, material contracts and business transactions, and all debt and equity financing transactions. Through its Audit Committee, the Board examines the effectiveness of the Company's internal control processes and management information systems. The Board reviews executive compensation and recommends stock option grants and restricted share units.

The independent members of the Board are William Edward (Ed) Hammersla III, Jennifer Swindell and Blake Corbet. Ian Paterson and Ali Hakimzadeh are non-independent members of the Board as they are the CEO and Executive Chairman of the Company, respectively.

Directorships

Certain members of the Board are currently serving on boards of directors of other reporting companies (or equivalent) as set out below:

Name of Director Name of Reporting Issuer Stock Exchange
Ali Hakimzadeh American Pacific Mining Corp. CSE

Orientation and Continuing Education

The Board briefs all new directors with respect to the policies of the Board and other relevant corporate and business information. The Board does not provide any continuing education.

Ethical Business Conduct

The Board has found that the fiduciary duties placed on individual directors by the Company's governing corporate legislation and the common law and the restrictions placed by applicable corporate legislation on an individual 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 general meeting, taking into account the number required to carry out the Board's duties effectively and to maintain a diversity of views and experience.

The Company does not have a formal process or committee for proposing new nominees for election to the Board. The nominees proposed are generally the result of recruitment efforts by the members of the Board, including both formal and informal discussions among the members of the Board.


11

Compensation

The Compensation Committee is responsible for making recommendations to the Board with respect to compensation for the directors and officers of the Company. The Board has the ability to adjust and approve such compensation. The current members of the Compensation Committee are William Edward (Ed) Hammersla III (Chair), Jennifer Swindell and Blake Corbet.

Other Board Committees

The Board had previously established an M&A Advisory Committee, however, this committee no longer exists.

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 the Audit Committee on an ongoing basis.

Oversight and Description of Director and NEO Compensation

Executive compensation is set to attract and retain the best available talent while efficiently utilizing available resources. The Company compensates executive management with a package typically including a base salary ("Base Salary"), an incentive compensation plan ("Incentive Compensation") and equity compensation (the "Equity Compensation") designed to be competitive with comparable employers. In considering executive management's compensation, the Board takes into consideration the financial condition of the Company. The Base Salary is set in comparison to the comparable positions in the market and in the industry, the Incentive Compensation is used as a short-term incentive to achieve Company objectives, and the Equity Compensation is designed to allow the participants to enjoy the benefits of any increase in company valuation and share price, should such an increase occur. Executive compensation is designed to reward activities and achievements that are aligned with the long-term interests of the Company's Shareholders.

The Base Salary, Incentive Compensation and Equity Compensation for the Company's NEOs, including the CEO and the CFO is determined by the Company's Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee sets the compensation of the NEOs using generally available market data and their combined industry experience. The Compensation Committee delegates to the NEOs the responsibility to set the compensation packages for all other senior management and staff.

The Compensation Committee is responsible for executive and director compensation, including reviewing and recommending director compensation, overseeing the Company's base compensation structure and equity-based compensation program, recommending compensation of the Company's officers and employees, and evaluating the performance of officers generally and in light of annual goals and objectives.

The Compensation Committee also assumes responsibility for reviewing and monitoring the long-range compensation strategy for the Company's senior management. The compensation committee reviews the compensation of senior management on an annual basis taking into account compensation paid by other issuers of similar size and activity.

Philosophy and Objectives

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

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

In compensating its senior management, the Company has employed a combination of base salary and equity participation through its Option Plan. Recommendations for senior management compensation are presented to the Board for review. No specific "peer group" is used to determine the compensation.

Equity Participation

The Company believes that encouraging its executives and employees to become shareholders is the best way of aligning their interests with those of its Shareholders. Equity participation is accomplished through the Company's Option Plan. Stock options are granted to executives and employees taking into account a number of factors, including the amount and term of options previously granted, base salary and competitive factors. The amounts and terms of options granted are determined by the Compensation Committee based on recommendations put forward by the CEO.

Risks Associated with the Company's Compensation Practices

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


17

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

Base Salary or Consulting Fees

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

Base salary ranges for the executive officers were initially determined upon a review of companies within the technology industry, which were of the same size as the Company and considered comparable to the Company.

In determining the base salary of an executive officer, the Board considers the following factors:

(a) the particular responsibilities related to the position;
(b) salaries paid by other companies in the technology industry which were similar in size as the Company;
(c) the experience level of the executive officer;
(d) the amount of time and commitment which the executive officer devotes to the Company; and
(e) the executive officer’s overall performance and performance in relation to the achievement of corporate milestones and objectives.

Benefits and Perquisites

The Company does not, as of the date of this Circular, offer any benefits or perquisites to its NEOs other than normal health benefits and potential grants of incentive stock options or as otherwise disclosed and discussed herein.

Hedging by Named Executive Officers or Directors

The Company has not, to date, adopted a policy restricting its executive officers and directors from purchasing financial instruments, including, for greater certainty, prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars, or units of exchange funds, which are designed to hedge or offset a decrease in market value of equity securities granted as compensation or held, directly or indirectly, by executive officers or directors.

Pension Disclosure

The Company does not have a pension plan that provides for payments or benefits to the NEOs at, following, or in connection with retirement.

Approve Amended Omnibus Incentive Plan

The TSXV policy requires all of its listed companies to have a Security Based Compensation Plan (defined below) if the Company intends to grant or issue Security Based Compensation (defined below) to its directors, officers, employees, management company employees and consultants or to an eligible charitable organization. The Board adopted a new omnibus incentive plan (previously referred to as the “Plan”), dated for reference June 18, 2024. The Plan replaced the Company’s former 20% fixed share option plan. The Plan comprises 10% rolling Options and 10% fixed RSUs.

The Company obtained approvals for the initial adoption of the Plan by the (i) Board on June 18, 2024, (ii) Shareholders on August 14, 2024, and (iii) TSXV on October 1, 2024. On April 16, 2025, the Board approved amendments to the Plan (the “Amended Plan”) to (i) increase the total number of common shares reserved and available for the grant and issuance of RSUs from 4,051,485 common shares to 7,852,686 common shares; and (ii)


19

update defined terms and clarify certain sections of the Plan, as required by the TSXV. Under the TSXV policy, the Amended Plan requires Shareholder approval at the Meeting by ordinary resolution. The Board is of the view that the Amended Plan provides the Company with the flexibility to attract and maintain the services of executives, employees and other service providers.

The following is a summary of certain provisions of the Amended Plan, which will be placed before the Meeting. A full copy of the Amended Plan may be obtained upon request from the Company. See Additional Information below.

Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Amended Plan.

Summary of Material Terms of the Amended Plan

The following is a summary of the material terms of the Amended Plan (refer to defined terms below):

The Amended Plan serves as the successor to the Company’s former Plan, and no further options to purchase common shares will be granted under the Plan from and after the effective date of the Amended Plan.

The purpose of the Amended Plan is to promote the interests of the Company and its Shareholders by aiding the Company in (i) attracting and retaining highly qualified directors, officers, employees and consultants (each, a “Participant”); (ii) aligning the interests of Participants with that of other Shareholders of the Company generally; and (iii) enabling and encouraging Participants to participate in the long-term growth of the Company through the acquisition of common shares, by the granting of Awards in the form of Options or RSUs.

The Amended Plan is administered by the Board and provides that the Board may, from time to time, in its discretion, and in accordance with TSXV requirements or any other stock exchange on which the common shares are listed, grant to Participants, non-transferable Awards.

Under the Amended Plan, the total number of common shares reserved and available for the grant and issuance of Options shall not exceed ten percent (10%) of the Outstanding Issue, or such other number as may be approved by the TSXV and the Shareholders of the Company from time to time. The total number of common shares, in aggregate, reserved and available for the grant and issuance of RSUs shall not exceed 7,852,686 common shares.

No Award that can be settled in common shares issued from treasury may be granted if such grant would have the effect of causing the total number of common shares subject to such Award to exceed the above noted total number of common shares reserved for issuance pursuant to the settlement of Awards.

The Amended Plan is an “evergreen” plan as common shares covered by Awards which have been exercised or settled, as applicable, and Awards which expire or are forfeited, cancelled or otherwise terminated or lapse for any reason without having been exercised, will be available for subsequent grant under the Amended Plan.

Unless the Company obtains Disinterested Shareholder Approval: (i) the aggregate number of common shares for which Awards may be issued to any one Participant in any 12-month period, together with all other Security Based Compensation granted to such Participant, shall not exceed 5% of the Outstanding Issue, calculated on the date an Award is granted to the Participant, (ii) the aggregate number of common shares for which Awards may be issued to any one Consultant (as defined by the Exchange), together with all other Security Based Compensation granted to such Consultant, within any 12-month period shall not exceed 2% of the Outstanding Issue, calculated on the date an Award is granted to the Consultant; and (iii) the aggregate number of common shares for which Options may be issued to all Persons retained to provide Investor Relations Activities (as defined by the Exchange), together with all other Security Based Compensation granted to such Persons, within any 12-month period shall not exceed 2% of the Outstanding Issue, calculated on the date an Option is granted to such Persons.

Unless Disinterested Shareholder Approval as required by the policies of the Exchange is obtained: (i) the maximum number of common shares for which Awards may be issued to Insiders (as a group) at any point in time, together with all common shares issued pursuant to other Security Based Compensation granted to Insiders, shall not exceed 10% of the Outstanding Issue; and (ii) the maximum number of common shares issuable pursuant to Awards granted to Insiders (as a group), together with all common shares made issuable pursuant to other Security Based Compensation granted to Insiders, within any 12-month period, shall not exceed 10% of the Outstanding Issue, calculated at the date an Award is granted to any Insider.


20

The Amended Plan provides for customary adjustments or substitutions, as applicable, in the number of common shares that may be issued under the Amended Plan in the event of a merger, arrangement, amalgamation, consolidation, corporate reorganization, recapitalization, separation, stock dividend, extraordinary dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, split up, spin-off or other distribution of stock or property of the Company, combination of securities, exchange of securities, dividend in kind, or other like change in capital structure or distribution (other than normal cash dividends) to Shareholders, or any similar corporate event or transaction, subject to the prior acceptance of the Exchange other than for adjustments resulting from a share consolidation or stock split.

In the event of an actual or potential Change of Control (as is defined in the Amended Plan) of the Company, the Board shall have discretion as to the treatment of Awards, subject, where required by the policies of the Exchange, to the prior acceptance of the Exchange, including whether to (i) accelerate, conditionally or otherwise, on such terms as it sees fit, the vesting date of any Awards; (ii) permit the conditional redemption or exercise of any Awards, on such terms as it sees fit; (iii) otherwise amend or modify the terms of any Awards; and (iv) terminate, following the successful completion of a Change of Control, on such terms as it sees fit, the Awards not exercised prior to the successful completion of such Change of Control.

Neither the Awards nor the securities which may be acquired pursuant to the exercise of the Awards have been registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933 (the "U.S. Securities Act") or under any securities law of any state of the United States of America and are considered "restricted securities" (as such term is defined in Rule 144(a)(3) under the U.S. Securities Act) and any common shares will be affixed with an applicable restrictive legend as set forth in the Award Agreement.

Options

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Amended Plan, the Board may grant Options to Participants in such amounts and upon such terms (including the exercise price, duration of the Options, the number of common shares to which the Option pertains, and the conditions, if any, upon which an Option shall become vested and exercisable) as the Board shall determine.

The exercise price of the Options will be determined by the Board at the time any Option is granted. In no event will such exercise price be lower than the last closing price of the common shares on the Exchange less any discount permitted by the rules or policies of the Exchange at the time the Option is granted. Such price upon exercise of any Option shall be payable to the Company in full in cash, by certified cheque or by wire transfer, cashless exercise or net exercise.

In connection with a cashless exercise, the Participant shall elect, on a notice of exercise, to receive a loan from a brokerage firm, which the Company has an arrangement with, to purchase the underlying common shares. Upon the sale by the brokerage firm of an equivalent number of common shares received from the exercise of the Options to repay the loan made to the Participant, the Participant shall elect to receive either the balance of the common shares following the sale or the cash proceeds from the balance of the common shares.

In connection with a net exercise, the Participant shall elect on a notice of exercise to receive an amount equal to the number of underlying common shares listed on the Exchange that is the equal to the quotient obtained by dividing: (a) the product of the number of Options being exercised multiplied by the difference between the five-day volume weighted average price of the underlying common shares so listed and the exercise price of the subject Options; by (b) the five-day volume weighted average price of the underlying common shares so listed, provided, however, that persons retained to provide Investor Relations Activities shall not be permitted to exercise an Option using the net exercise method.

Unless otherwise specified in an Award agreement granting Options, Options shall vest subject to Exchange policies, and the Board may in its sole discretion, determine the time during which an Option shall vest and the method of vesting, or that no vesting restriction shall exist, provided that Options issued to any Persons retained to provide Investor Relations Activities shall vest solely subject to Exchange Policies as follows:

(i) no more than 1/4 of the Options vest no sooner than three months after the Options were granted;

(ii) no more than another 1/4 of the Options vest no sooner than six months after the Options were granted;


21

(iii) no more than another 1/4 of the Options vest no sooner than nine months after the Options were granted; and

(iv) the remainder of the Options vest no sooner than 12 months after the Options were granted.

Subject to any requirements of the Exchange, the Board may determine the expiry date of each Option. Subject to a limited extension if an Option expires during a blackout period, Options may be exercised for a period of up to ten (10) years after the grant date, provided that: (i) upon an Participant’s termination for cause, all Options, whether vested or not, as at the date on which an Participant ceases to be eligible to participate under the Amended Plan (the “Termination Date”) as a result of termination of employment, will automatically and immediately expire and be forfeited; (ii) upon the death of an Participant, all unvested Options as at the Termination Date shall automatically and immediately vest, and all vested Options will continue to be subject to the Amended Plan and be exercisable for a period of 12 months after the Termination Date; (iii) in the case of the disability of a Participant, all Options shall remain and continue to vest (and are exercisable) in accordance with the terms of the Amended Plan for a period of 12 months after the Termination Date, provided that any Options that have not been exercised (whether vested or not) within 12 months after the Termination Date shall automatically and immediately expire and be forfeited on such date; (iv) in the case of the retirement of a Participant, any unvested Options held by the Participant as at the Termination Date will continue to vest in accordance with their vesting schedules, and all vested Awards held by the Participant at the Termination Date may be exercised until the earlier of the Expiry Date of the Options or six (6) months following the Termination Date, provided that if the Participant is determined to have breached any post-employment restrictive covenants in favour of the Company, then any Options held by the Participant, whether vested or unvested, will immediately expire and the Participant shall pay to the Company any “in-the-money” amounts realized upon exercise of Options following the Termination Date; and; (v) in all other cases where a Participant ceases to be eligible under the Amended Plan, including a termination without cause or a voluntary resignation, unless otherwise determined by the Board, all unvested Options shall automatically and immediately expire and be forfeited as of the Termination Date, and all vested Options will continue to be subject to the Amended Plan and be exercisable for a period of 90 days after the Termination Date.

RSUs

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Amended Plan, the Board may grant RSUs to Participants in such amounts and upon such terms (including time-based restrictions on vesting, restrictions under applicable laws or under the requirements of the Exchange) as the Board shall determine.

No RSU may vest before one (1) year following the date it is granted or issued. The vesting of RSUs may be accelerated in limited circumstances, in the case of the death of a Participant or upon a RSU holder ceasing to be an eligible participant under the Amended Plan in connection with a Change of Control, take-over bid, reverse take-over or other similar transaction.

Unless otherwise specified in an Award agreement granting RSUs, RSUs shall vest at the discretion of the Board, subject to the policies of the Exchange, provided that, and subject to the Board’s discretion: (i) upon a Participant’s termination for cause, all RSUs, whether vested (if not yet paid out) or not as at the Termination Date will automatically and immediately expire and be forfeited; (ii) upon the death of a Participant, all unvested RSUs as at the Termination Date shall automatically and immediately vest; (iii) in the case of the retirement of a Participant, any unvested RSUs held by the Participant as at the Termination Date will continue to vest in accordance with their vesting schedules, and all vested RSUs held by the Participant at the Termination Date may be exercised until the earlier of the Expiry Date of the RSUs or six (6) months following the Termination Date, provided that if the Participant is determined to have breached any post-employment restrictive covenants in favour of the Company, then any RSUs held by the Participant, whether vested or unvested, will immediately expire and the Participant shall pay to the Company any “in-the-money” amounts realized upon exercise of Awards following the Termination Date; and (iv) in all other cases where a Participant ceases to be eligible under the Amended Plan, including a termination without cause or a voluntary resignation, unless otherwise determined by the Board, all unvested RSUs shall automatically and immediately expire and be forfeited as of the Termination Date, and all vested RSUs will be paid out in accordance with the Amended Plan.

When and if RSUs become payable, the Participant issued such RSUs shall be entitled to receive payment from the Company in settlement of such RSU: (i) in a number of common shares (issued from treasury) equal to the number of RSUs being settled, (ii) in a cash equivalent amount or (iii) subject to the prior approval of the Exchange, in any other form, all as determined by the Board. The Board’s determination regarding the form of payout shall be set forth or reserved for later determination in the Award agreement for the grant of the RSUs.


22

Participants holding RSUs may, if the Board so determines, be credited with dividends paid with respect of the underlying common shares or dividend equivalents while they are so held in a manner determined by the Board in its sole discretion; provided that in the event that the Company does not have a sufficient number of common shares available to settle RSUs in common shares or where the issuance of common shares would result in breaching a limit on grants or issuances set out in the Amended Plan, such RSUs may be settled in cash.

Participants who are retained to provide Investor Relations Activities cannot receive any RSUs.

A full copy of the Amended Plan may be obtained upon request from the Company. See Additional Information below.

Approve Amended Articles

Alteration to Company’s Articles to Include Advance Notice Provision

The Articles of the Company (the “Articles”) were approved for adoption pre-RTO, to reflect the principles governing reporting issuers subject to Canadian securities regulations and the Securities Act (British Columbia).

On April 16, 2025, the Board approved, subject to Shareholder approval, an alteration (the “Alteration”) of the Articles, which is part of the charter documents of the Company, to include the Advance Notice Provision (the “Advance Notice Provision”). The Advance Notice Provision stipulates the requirement to provide advance notice to the Company in circumstances where nominations of persons for election to the Board are made by Shareholders


23

of the Company other than pursuant to: (i) a requisition of a meeting made pursuant to the provisions of the BCBCA or (ii) a Shareholder proposal made pursuant to the provisions of the BCBCA.

The Alteration will effectively entrench advance notice terms for election of directors within the Company’s charter effectively safeguarding the Board and all actions taken by the Company pursuant thereto. The Advance Notice Provisions: (i) inform the Company of nominees for election at a Shareholder meeting proposed by a Shareholder sufficiently in advance of such meeting, and (ii) provide an opportunity for the Board to make an informed determination regarding the proposed nominees and, if appropriate, present alternatives to Shareholders.

Background and Purpose

The following information is intended as a brief description of the advance notice requirement contained in the Advance Notice Provisions. The disclosure below is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Advance Notice Provisions, the full text of which is attached as Schedule “A” to this Circular.

General

The Board is proposing the Alteration, which will:

(i) facilitate orderly and efficient annual general or, where the need arises, special meetings;

(ii) ensure that all Shareholders receive adequate notice of nominations for director and sufficient information with respect to all director nominees; and

(iii) allow Shareholders to register an informed vote.

Purpose of the Advance Notice Provision

The purpose of the Advance Notice Provision is to foster a variety of interests of the Shareholders and the Company by ensuring that all Shareholders, including those participating in a meeting by proxy rather than in person, receive adequate notice of the nominations to be considered at a meeting and can thereby exercise their voting rights in an informed manner. The Advance Notice Provision provides the framework by which the Company may fix a deadline by which Shareholders of record must submit any such director nominations to the Company prior to any annual or special meeting of Shareholders and sets forth the information that a Shareholder must include in the notice to the Company for the notice to be in proper written form.

Effect of the Advance Notice Provision

  1. Subject to the BCBCA and the Articles, the persons who are nominated in accordance with the following procedures shall be the only persons eligible for election as directors of the Company. Nominations of persons for election to the Board may be made at any annual meeting of Shareholders, or at any special meeting of Shareholders (but only if one of the purposes for which the special meeting was called was the election of directors):

(a) by or at the direction of the Board of the Company, including pursuant to a notice of meeting;

(b) by or at the direction or request of one or more Shareholders pursuant to a proposal made in accordance with the provisions of the BCBCA, or a requisition of the Shareholders made in accordance with the provisions of the BCBCA; or

(c) by any person (a “Nominating Shareholder”) who:

(i) at the close of business on the date of the giving of the notice provided for below in the Advance Notice Provision and on the record date for notice of such meeting, is entered in the securities register as a holder of one or more common shares carrying the right to vote at such meeting or who beneficially owns common shares that are entitled to be voted at such meeting; and

(ii) who complies with the notice procedures set forth below in the Advance Notice Provisions.


24

  1. In addition to any other applicable requirements, for a nomination to be made by a Nominating Shareholder, the Nominating Shareholder must give timely notice thereof in proper written form to the CFO of the Company at the principal executive offices of the Company.

  2. To be timely, a Nominating Shareholder’s notice to an officer of the Company, being either the CEO, the CFO or the Corporate Secretary of the Company, (“an officer of the Company”) must be made:

(a) in the case of an annual general meeting of Shareholders (the “AGM”), not less than 30 nor more than 65 days before the date of the AGM; provided, however, that if the AGM is to be held on a date that is less than 40 days after the date on which the first Public Announcement of the date of the AGM was made (the “Notice Date”), notice by the Nominating Shareholder may be made not later than the close of business on the tenth day following the Notice Date; and

(b) in the case of a special meeting (which is not also an AGM) of Shareholders called for the purpose of electing directors (whether or not called for other purposes), not later than the close of business on the fifteenth day following the day on which the first Public Announcement of the date of the special meeting of Shareholders was made.

  1. To be in proper written form, a Nominating Shareholder’s notice to the officer of the Company must set forth:

(a) if the Nominating Shareholder is not the beneficial owner of the common shares, the identity of the beneficial owner and the number of common shares held by that beneficial owner;

(b) as to each person whom the Nominating Shareholder proposes to nominate for election as a director:

(i) the name, age, business address, and residential address of the person;

(ii) the current principal occupation, business or employment of the person, the name and principal business of any company in which such employment is carried on, and similar information as to all the principal occupations, businesses or employments within the five preceding years;

(iii) the class or series and number of shares in the capital of the Company which are directly or indirectly controlled or directed or which are owned beneficially or of record by the person as of the record date for the meeting of Shareholders (if such date will then have been made publicly available and will have occurred) and as of the date of such notice;
