INFORMATION CIRCULAR
(as at April 13, 2026 except as otherwise indicated)

SOLICITATION OF PROXIES

This information circular (the "Circular") is provided in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Management of Li-FT Power Ltd. (the "Company"). The form of proxy which accompanies this Circular (the "Proxy") is for use at the annual general meeting of the shareholders of the Company to be held on Friday, May 15, 2026 (the "Meeting"), at the time and place set out in the accompanying notice of Meeting (the "Notice of Meeting"). The Company will bear the cost of this solicitation. The solicitation will be made by mail but may also be made by other forms of telecommunication.

APPOINTMENT AND REVOCATION OF PROXY

The persons named in the Proxy are directors and/or officers of the Company. A registered shareholder who wishes to appoint some other person to serve as their representative at the Meeting may do so by striking out the printed names and inserting the desired person's name in the blank space provided. The completed Proxy should be delivered to Odyssey Trust Company (the "Transfer Agent") #1310 - 1140 West Pender Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6E 4G1 by 10:00 a.m. (Pacific Time) on Wednesday, May 13, 2026, or before 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) before any adjournment of the Meeting at which the Proxy is to be used.

The Proxy may be revoked by:

(a) signing a proxy with a later date and delivering it at the time and place noted above;
(b) signing and dating a written notice of revocation and delivering it to the Transfer Agent, or by transmitting a revocation by telephonic or internet voting which can be completed at https://odysseytrust.com/login/, to the Transfer Agent, at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the day of the Meeting, or any adjournment of it, at which the Proxy is to be used, or delivering a written notice of revocation and delivering it to the Chairman of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting or adjournment of it; or
(c) attending the Meeting or any adjournment of the Meeting virtually and registering with the scrutineer as a shareholder present in person.

Provisions Relating to Voting of Proxies

The shares represented by Proxy in the form provided to shareholders will be voted or withheld from voting by the designated holder in accordance with the direction of the registered shareholder appointing him. If there is no direction by the registered shareholder, those shares will be voted for all proposals set out in the Proxy and for the election of directors and the appointment of the auditors as set out in this Circular. The Proxy gives the person named in it the discretion to vote as such person sees fit on any amendments or variations to matters identified in the Notice of Meeting, or any other matters


  • 2 -

which may properly come before the Meeting. At the time of printing of this Circular, the management of the Company (the "Management") knows of no other matters which may come before the Meeting other than those referred to in the Notice of Meeting.

Advice to Beneficial Holders of Common Shares

The information set forth in this section is of significant 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 herein as "Beneficial Shareholders") should note that only proxies deposited by shareholders who appear on the records maintained by the Company's registrar and transfer agent 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, then 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). In the United States, the vast majority of such common shares are registered under the name of Cede & Co., the registration name for The Depository Trust Company, which acts as nominee for many United States brokerage firms. Common shares held by brokers (or their agents or nominees) on behalf of a broker's client can only be voted or withheld 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 shareholder 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 instrument 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 Company. 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 responsibility for obtaining instructions from clients to Broadridge Financial Solutions Inc. ("Broadridge") in Canada. Broadridge typically prepares a machine-readable voting instruction form ("VIF"), mails those forms to Beneficial Shareholders and asks Beneficial Shareholders to return the VIFs to Broadridge, or otherwise communicate voting instructions to Broadridge (by way of the internet or telephone, for example). Broadridge 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 Broadridge VIF cannot use that form to vote common shares directly at the Meeting. The VIFs must be returned to Broadridge (or instructions respecting the voting of common shares must otherwise be communicated to Broadridge) 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.

The Notice of Meeting, Circular, Proxy and VIF, as applicable, are being provided to both registered shareholders and Beneficial Shareholders. Beneficial Shareholders fall into two categories - those who object to their identity being known to the issuers of securities which they own ("OBOs") and those who do not object to their identity being made known to the issuers of the securities which they own ("NOBOs"). Subject to the provisions of National Instrument 54-101 - Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer ("NI 54-101"), issuers may request and obtain a list of their NOBOs from intermediaries directly or via their transfer agent and may obtain and use the NOBO list for the distribution of proxy-related materials directly (not via Broadridge) to such NOBOs. If you are a Beneficial Shareholder and the Company or its agent has sent these materials directly to you, your name, address and information about your holdings of common shares have been obtained in accordance with applicable securities regulatory requirements from the intermediary holding the common shares on your behalf.

Pursuant to the provisions of NI 54-101, the Company is providing the Notice of Meeting, Circular and Proxy or VIF, as applicable, to both registered owners of the securities and non-registered owners of the securities. If you are a non-registered owner, and the Company or its agent has sent these materials directly to you, your name and address and information about your holdings of securities, have been obtained in accordance with applicable securities regulatory requirements from the intermediary holding on your behalf. By choosing to send these materials to you directly, the Company (and not the intermediary holding common shares on your behalf) has assumed responsibility for (i) delivering these materials to you, and (ii) executing your proper voting instructions. Please return your voting instructions as specified in the VIF. As a result, if you are a non-registered owner of the securities, you can expect to receive a scannable VIF from the Transfer Agent. Please complete and return the VIF to the Transfer Agent in the envelope provided or by facsimile. In addition, internet voting instructions can be found on the VIF. The Transfer Agent will tabulate the results of the VIFs received from the Company's NOBOs and will provide appropriate instructions at the Meeting with respect to the common shares represented by the VIFs they receive.

The Company's OBOs can expect to be contacted by Broadridge or their brokers or their broker's agents as set out above. The Company does not intend to pay for intermediaries to deliver the Notice of Meeting, Circular and VIF to OBOs and accordingly, if the OBO's intermediary does not assume the costs of delivery of those documents in the event that the OBO wishes to receive them, the OBO may not receive the documentation.

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, a Beneficial Shareholder may attend the Meeting as proxyholder for the registered shareholder and vote the common shares in that capacity. NI 54-101 allows a Beneficial Shareholder who is a NOBO to submit to the Company or an applicable intermediary any document in writing that requests that the NOBO or a nominee of the NOBO be appointed as proxyholder. If such a request is received, the Company or an intermediary, as applicable, must arrange, without expenses to the NOBO, to appoint such NOBO or its nominee as a proxyholder and to deposit that proxy within the time specified in this Circular, provided that the Company or the intermediary receives such written instructions from the NOBO at least one business day prior to the time by which proxies are to be submitted at the Meeting, with the result that such a written request must be received by 9:30 a.m. (Pacific Time) on the day which is at least three business days prior to the Meeting. A Beneficial Shareholder who wishes to attend the Meeting and to vote their common shares as proxyholder for the registered shareholder, should enter their own name in the blank space on the VIF or such other document in writing that requests that the NOBO or a nominee of the NOBO be appointed


  • 4 -

as proxyholder 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 the Notice of Meeting, Circular and the accompanying Proxy are to registered shareholders of the Company as set forth on the list of registered shareholders of the Company as maintained by the registrar and transfer agent of the Company, Odyssey Trust Company, unless specifically stated otherwise.

Financial Statements

The audited financial statements of the Company for the thirteen months ended December 31, 2025 and twelve months ended November 30, 2024, together with the auditor’s report on those statements and Management Discussion and Analysis, will be presented to the shareholders at the Meeting.

VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS OF VOTING SECURITIES

As at the date of the accompanying Notice of Meeting, the Company’s authorized capital consists of an unlimited number of common shares of which 52,776,133 common shares are issued and outstanding. All common shares in the capital of the Company carry the right to one vote.

Shareholders registered as at April 7, 2026, are entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting. Shareholders who wish to be represented by proxy at the Meeting must, to entitle the person appointed by the Proxy to attend and vote, deliver their Proxies at the place and within the time set forth in the notes to the Proxy.

To the knowledge of the directors and executive officers of the Company, as of the date of this Circular, no persons beneficially own, directly or indirectly, or exercise control or direction over, 10% or more of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company.

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

The directors of the Company are elected annually and hold office until the next annual general meeting of the shareholders or until their successors are elected or appointed. The Management of the Company proposes to nominate the persons listed below for election as directors of the Company to serve until their successors are elected or appointed. In the absence of instructions to the contrary, Proxies given pursuant to the solicitation by the Management will be voted for the nominees listed in this Circular. Management does not contemplate that any of the nominees will be unable to serve as a director. The number of directors of the Company has been set at six.

The following table sets out the names of the nominees for election as directors, the offices they hold within the Company, their occupations, the length of time they have served as directors of the Company, and the number of shares of the Company which each beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, or over which control or direction is exercised, as of the date of this Circular.

Stock Option Plans and Other Incentive Plans

Share Incentive Plan

On October 18, 2023, the Board approved the adoption of a new Omnibus Share Incentive Plan (the "Share Incentive Plan"), providing for the grant of options ("Options"), restricted share units ("RSUs"), performance share units ("PSUs" and together with the RSUs, "Share Units") and deferred share units ("DSUs" and together with the Options and Share Units, "Awards"). The Share Incentive Plan was last approved by shareholders at the Company's annual general meeting held on May 8, 2025, and approved by the TSX Venture Exchange on July 9, 2025.

The Share Incentive Plan includes a "rolling" stock option plan component that sets the maximum number of Shares reserved for issuance, in the aggregate, pursuant to the exercise of Awards granted under the Proposed Share Incentive Plan at 10% of the number of Shares issued and outstanding on a non-diluted basis from time to time. Pursuant to the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange, the Company is required to obtain shareholder approval annually.

The Share Incentive Plan is administered by the compensation committee of the Company, which has full and final authority with respect to the granting of all Awards thereunder.

Summary of the Share Incentive Plan

The following is a summary of the key provisions of the Share Incentive Plan. The following summary is qualified in all respects by the full text of the Share Incentive Plan copy of which will be presented at the Meeting and will be filed on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca on adoption. All terms used but not defined in this section have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Share Incentive Plan.

Purpose

The purpose of the Share Incentive Plan is:

(a) to increase the interest in the Company's welfare of those employees, officers, directors and consultants (who are considered "Eligible Participants" under the Share Incentive Plan) who share responsibility for the management, growth and protection of the business of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company;

(b) to provide an incentive to such Eligible Participants to continue their services for the Company or a subsidiary of the Company and to encourage such Eligible Participants whose skills, performance and loyalty to the objectives and interests of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company are necessary or essential to its success, image, reputation or activities;

(c) to reward Eligible Participants for their performance of services while working for the Company or a subsidiary of the Company; and

(d) to provide a means through which the Company or a subsidiary of the Company may attract and retain able persons to enter its employment or service.


  • 20 -

Plan Administration

The Share Incentive Plan shall be administered and interpreted by the Board or, if the Board by resolution so decides, by a committee appointed by the Board. Subject to the terms of the Share Incentive Plan, applicable law and the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange, the Board (or its delegate) will have the power and authority to: (i) designate the Eligible Participants who will receive Awards (an Eligible Participant who receives an Award, a "Participant"), (ii) designate the types and amount of Awards to be granted to each Participant, (iii) determine the terms and conditions of any Award, including any vesting conditions or conditions based on performance of the Company or of an individual ("Performance Criteria"); (iv) interpret and administer the Share Incentive Plan and any instrument or agreement relating to it, or any Award made under it; and (v) make such amendments to the Share Incentive Plan and Awards as are permitted by the Share Incentive Plan and the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange.

Shares Available for Awards

Subject to adjustment as provided for under the Share Incentive Plan, and as may be approved by the TSX Venture Exchange and the shareholders of the Company from time to time, the maximum number of Shares reserved for issuance, in the aggregate, pursuant to the exercise of Awards granted under the Share Incentive Plan shall be equal to 10% of the issued and outstanding Shares on a non-diluted basis from time to time.

Shares covered by Awards which have been settled or exercised in cash or in Shares, and Awards which expire or are forfeited, surrendered, cancelled or otherwise terminated or lapse for any reason without having been exercised, will be available for subsequent grant under the Share Incentive Plan, subject to the participation limits outlined below.

Participation Limits

The Share Incentive Plan provides the following limitations on grants:

(a) The maximum number of Shares issuable pursuant to this Incentive Plan, together with all other previously established and outstanding Share Compensation Arrangements of the Company, shall not exceed 10% of the Outstanding Issue from time to time at the time of grant or issuance of any Award;

(b) In no event shall the Share Incentive Plan, together with all other previously established and outstanding Share Compensation Arrangements of the Company, permit at any time:

(i) the aggregate number of Shares reserved for issuance under Awards granted to Insiders (as a group) at any point in time exceeding 10% of the issued and outstanding Shares on a non-diluted basis; or

(ii) the grant to Insiders (as a group), within any 12 month period, of an aggregate number of Awards exceeding 10% of the issued and outstanding Shares on a non-diluted basis, calculated at the date an Award is granted to any Insider,

unless the Company has obtained the requisite disinterested shareholder approval.

(c) The maximum aggregate number of Awards granted to any one person (and companies wholly-

Eligible Participants

In respect of a grant of Options, an Eligible Participant is any director, executive officer, employee or Consultant of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. In respect of a grant of Share Units, an Eligible Participant is any director, executive officer, employee or Consultant of the Company or any of its subsidiaries other than persons retained to provide Investor Relations Activities. In respect of a grant of DSUs, an Eligible Participant is any non-employee director of the Company or any of its subsidiaries other than persons retained to provide Investor Relations Activities.

Description of Awards

Options

An Option is an option granted by the Company to a Participant entitling such Participant to acquire a designated number of Shares from treasury at a specified exercise price (the "Option Price"). Options are exercisable over a period established by the Board from time to time and reflected in the Participant's Option Agreement, which period shall not exceed 10 years from the date of grant. Notwithstanding the expiration provisions set forth in the Share Incentive Plan, if the date on which an Option expires falls within a Blackout Period (as defined in the Share Incentive Plan), the expiration date of the Option will be the date that is ten (10) Business Days after the Blackout Period Expiry Date. The Option Price shall not be set at less than the Market Value of a Share (as defined in the Share Incentive Plan) as of the date of the grant, less any discount permitted by the TSX Venture Exchange.

At the time of grant of an Option, the Board may establish vesting conditions in respect of each Option grant, which may include performance criteria related to corporate or individual performance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Options granted to persons retained to provide Investor Relations


  • 22 -

Activities must vest in stages over a period of not less than 12 months with no more than one-quarter (1/4) of the Options vesting in any three month period.

No acceleration of the vesting provisions of Options granted to persons retained to provide Investor Relations Activities is allowed without the prior acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange.

The Share Incentive Plan also permits the Board to grant an option holder, at any time, the right to deal with such Option on a cashless exercise basis or to receive a cash payment equal to the difference between the market price of the shares on the day immediately prior to the date of the exercise of the cashless exercise right, and the Option Price (less applicable withholding taxes), subject to the rules of the applicable stock exchange on which the shares are listed from time to time.

Share Units

A Share Unit is an Award that is a bonus for services rendered in the year of grant that, upon settlement, entitles the recipient Participant to receive a cash payment equal to the Market Value of a Share or, at the sole discretion of the Board, a Share. The right of a holder to have their Share Units redeemed is subject to such restrictions and conditions on vesting as the Board may determine at the time of grant. Restrictions and conditions on vesting conditions may, without limitation, be based on the passage of time during continued employment or other service relationship (commonly referred to as an RSU), the achievement of specified Performance Criteria (commonly referred to as a PSU) or both.

The Board shall have sole discretion to determine if any vesting conditions with respect to a Share Unit, including any Performance Criteria, or other vesting conditions with respect to a Share Unit, have been met and shall communicate to a Participant as soon as reasonably practicable the date on which all such applicable vesting conditions or Performance Criteria have been satisfied and the Share Units have vested. Subject to the vesting and other conditions and provisions in the Share Incentive Plan and in the applicable Share Unit Agreement, each Share Unit awarded to a Participant shall entitle the Participant to receive, on settlement, a cash payment equal to the Market Value of a Share, or, at the discretion of the Board, one Share or any combination of cash and Shares as the Board in its sole discretion may determine, in each case less any applicable withholding taxes. The Company (or the applicable subsidiary) may, in its sole discretion, elect to settle all or any portion of the cash payment obligation by the delivery of Shares issued from treasury or acquired in the secondary market by a trustee or administrative agent appointed by the Board, on behalf of the Participant. Subject to the terms and conditions in the Share Incentive Plan, vested Share Units shall be redeemed by the Company (or the applicable subsidiary) as described above on the earlier of the expiry date of the Share Units or the 15th day following the vesting date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the date on which any Share Units would otherwise vest falls within a Blackout Period or within nine Business Days after a Blackout Period expiry date, the vesting date of such Share Units will be deemed to be the date that is the earlier of ten (10) Business Days after the Blackout Period expiry date and the Share Unit expiry date.

Dividend equivalents may, as determined by the Board in its sole discretion, be awarded as a bonus for services rendered in the year in respect of unvested Share Units in a Participant's account on the same basis as cash dividends declared and paid on Shares as if the Participant was a holder of record of Shares on the relevant record date. In the event that the Participant's applicable Share Units do not vest, all dividend equivalents, if any, associated with such Share Units will be forfeited by the Participant.

Deferred Share Units

A DSU is an Award for services rendered, or for future services to be rendered, and that, upon settlement, entitles the recipient Participant to receive cash or acquire Shares, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion.

A Participant is only entitled to redemption of a DSU when the Participant ceases to be a director of the Company for any reason, including termination, retirement or death. The Board does not have the right to alter the vesting conditions of DSUs, which conditions will immediately vest upon termination of employment, provided that no DSU vest on a date earlier than the date which is one year following issuance subject to a Change of Control or, at the discretion of the Board, in the case of the death of Participant.

Subject to the vesting and other conditions and provisions in the Share Incentive Plan and in any DSU Agreement, each DSU awarded to a Participant shall entitle the Participant to receive on settlement a cash payment equal to the Market Value of a Share, or, at the discretion of the Board, one Share or any combination of cash and Shares as the Company in its sole discretion may determine.

DSUs shall be redeemed and settled by the Company as soon as reasonably practicable following the Participant's termination date, but in any event not later than, and any payment (either in cash or in Shares) in respect of the settlement of such DSUs shall be made no later than, December 15th of the first calendar year commencing immediately after the Participant's termination date. The Company will have, at its sole discretion, the ability to elect to settle all or any portion of the cash payment obligation by the delivery of Shares issued from treasury or acquired in the secondary market by a trustee or administrative agent appointed by the Board on behalf of the Participant.

Dividend equivalents may, as determined by the Board in its sole discretion, be awarded in respect of DSUs in a Participant's account on the same basis as cash dividends declared and paid on Shares as if the Participant was a holder of record of Shares on the relevant record date. In the event that the Participant's applicable DSUs do not vest, all dividend equivalents, if any, associated with such DSUs will be forfeited by the Participant.

Change of Control

In the event of a Change of Control, the Board will have the power, in its sole discretion, to accelerate the vesting of Options to assist the Participants to tender into a take-over bid or participate in any other transaction leading to a Change of Control. For greater certainty, in the event of a take-over bid or any other transaction leading to a Change of Control, the Board shall have the power, in its sole discretion, to (a) provide that any or all Options shall thereupon terminate, provided that any such outstanding Options that have vested shall remain exercisable until consummation of such Change of Control, and (b) permit Participants to conditionally exercise their vested Options immediately prior to the consummation of the take-over bid and the Shares issuable under such Options to be tendered to such bid, such conditional exercise to be conditional upon the take-up by such offeror of the Shares or other securities tendered to such take-over bid in accordance with the terms of such take-over bid (or the effectiveness of such other transaction leading to a Change of Control).

Oversight and Description of Director and Named Executive Officer Compensation

Oversight

The objective of the Company's compensation program is to compensate the executive officers for their services to the Company at a level that is both in line with the Company's fiscal resources and competitive with companies at a similar stage of development. The Company has a Nomination, Governance and Compensation Committee comprised of Andrée St-Germain, who serves as Chair, Eva Bellissimo and Anthony Tse (as of July 29, 2025). Ms. St-Germain and Ms. Bellissimo are independent. Mr. Tse is not considered independent as a result of his role as executive officer of the Company. The Nomination, Governance and Compensation Committee has adopted a formal charter which is available on the Company's website at https://www.li-ft.com/corporate/corporate-governance/.

The Company compensates its executive officers based on their skill, qualifications, experience level, level of responsibility involved in their position, the existing stage of development of the Company, the Company's resources, industry practice and regulatory guidelines regarding executive compensation levels.

The Nomination, Governance and Compensation Committee is tasked with the responsibility of, among other things, assessing and making recommendations to the Board with respect to the compensation (including long-term incentive in the form of stock options and other share based compensation) to be granted to the Company's executive officers and directors and to ensure that such compensation reflects responsibilities and risks associated with each position.


  • 30 -

See "Corporate Governance Disclosure" for additional details regarding meetings and attendance of the Nomination, Governance and Compensation Committee.

Objectives of the Company's Compensation Strategy

The general objectives of the Company's compensation strategy are to (a) compensate management in a manner that encourages and rewards a high level of performance and results with a view to increasing long-term shareholder value; (b) align management's interests with the long-term interests of shareholders; (c) provide a compensation package that is commensurate with other junior venture companies to enable the Company to attract and retain talent; and (d) ensure that the total compensation package is designed in a manner that takes into account the constraints that the Company is under by virtue of the fact that it is a junior venture company without a history of earnings. The Board, as a whole, ensures that total compensation paid to all NEOs is fair and reasonable. The Board relies on the education and experience of its members and of its Nomination, Governance and Compensation Committee, as officers and directors with other companies, in assessing compensation levels.

Compensation Review Process for the period of thirteen months ended December 31, 2025

In 2025, the Nomination, Governance and Compensation Committee did not retain an external compensation consultant. The Nomination, Governance and Compensation Committee continued to reference and build upon the independent benchmarking analysis and recommendations contained in the Lane Caputo Report prepared prior year.

In 2025, management recommended refinements to the peer group originally developed by Lane Caputo in 2024. The Nomination, Governance and Compensation Committee reviewed and assessed these recommendations and refined the peer group to focus on a subset of the most relevant comparator companies. The Nomination, Governance and Compensation Committee exercised its independent judgment in approving the updated peer group.

The Company's Peer Group used for 2025 consisted of the following companies:

Dolly Varden Silver Corporation New Found Gold Corp. Thesis Gold Inc.
Frontier Lithium Inc. Probe Gold Inc. Wallbridge Mining Company Limited
Fury Gold Mines Limited PMET Resources Inc. Winsome Resources Limited
Lithium Ionic Corp. Snowline Gold Corp.

The Peer Group will be reviewed by the Nomination, Governance and Compensation Committee on an annual basis to ensure that it remains reflective of current conditions.

Considerations and Performance Indicators

For the financial period of thirteen months ended December 31, 2025, the Board approved a set of corporate objectives along with key performance indicators (KPIs) designed to measure progress toward these strategic targets. These KPIs form the basis for the compensation framework for directors and NEOs. The Board's oversight of these objectives ensures that executive compensation is closely aligned with the Company's long-term performance and shareholder value creation. The Nomination, Governance and Compensation Committee reviews, on an annual basis, the corporate goals and objectives relevant to executive compensation, evaluates each executive officer's performance in light of those goals and


  • 31 -

objectives and recommends, in consultation with the CEO, each executive officer’s compensation level based, in part, on such evaluation. The CEO does not make recommendations to the Nomination, Governance and Compensation Committee in respect of his own compensation. The Nomination, Governance and Compensation Committee takes into consideration the Company’s overall performance including the advancement of existing mineral properties, health, safety and environmental performance, financial stewardship, successful financing initiatives, corporate development activities, shareholder returns, and the awards given to executive officers in past years.

Compensation for the most recently completed financial year should not be considered an indicator of expected compensation levels in future periods. All compensation is subject to and dependent on the Company’s financial resources and prospects.

Neither NEOs nor directors are permitted to purchase financial instruments that are designed to hedge or offset a decrease in the market value of equity securities offered as compensation.

Components of Compensation

The Company has traditionally utilized two forms of compensation based on its short and long-term objectives being base salaries and stock options.

Base salaries (or consulting fees) are based on an assessment of factors such as current competitive market conditions, compensation levels within the peer group and the role and skills of the specific individual. Base salaries are reviewed by the Nomination, Governance and Compensation Committee at the end of each financial year taking into consideration KPIs and market conditions among other things.

Long term incentives have been satisfied through the grant of stock options, the purpose of which is to align the interests of NEOs with those of shareholders. Grants of options are determined by the Nomination, Governance and Compensation Committee and approved by the Board throughout the year. The Nomination, Governance and Compensation Committee considers prior grants and the overall number of options remaining available and currently outstanding in determining whether to grant new options, as well as the time and effort of the persons receiving the grant.

Following completion of the financial year ended November 30, 2024, the Company amended certain of its executive consulting agreements to contemplate short term incentive payments in the form of an annual cash bonus based on performance criteria to be set annually by the Board. The determination of whether such performance criteria has been met is determined by the Board.

For the financial period of thirteen months ended December 31, 2025, The Company continued to use a combination of corporate and individual KPIs, with respective weightings as determined by the Nomination, Governance and Compensation Committee and approved by the Board.

In respect of the financial period of thirteen months ended December 31, 2025, short term incentive payments were awarded in the form of restricted share units, in lieu of cash bonuses, as determined by the Board, having regard to the Company’s compensation philosophy and alignment with shareholder interests.

Compensation of Directors

Independent directors receive an annual retainer of $30,000 for their services payable in four (4) quarterly installments. A director may elect to receive all or any portion of the quarterly payment through the grant of DSUs. DSUs vest 12 months following the date of grant and are settled in cash or shares in accordance with the terms of the Share Incentive Plan when the individual ceases to be a director of the Company. Subsequent to the financial period of the thirteen months ended December 31, 2025, on January 1, 2026, the annual retainer for directors was increased to $50,000. In addition, the Board approved annual chair fees of $5,000 for the Nomination, Governance and Compensation Committee, and $7,500 per year for the Audit Committee. These fees remained unchanged throughout the financial year ended December 31, 2025 and remain unchanged as at the date of this Circular.

Non-independent directors do not receive any additional compensation for their services as directors over and above the consulting fees they receive as part of executive management.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE DISCLOSURE

The Company believes that adopting and maintaining appropriate governance practices is fundamental to a well-run company, to the execution of its chosen strategies and to its successful business and financial performance. NI 58-101 and NP 58-201 (collectively the "Governance Guidelines") of the Canadian Securities Administrators set out a list of non-binding corporate governance guidelines that issuers are encouraged to follow in developing their own corporate governance guidelines. In certain cases, the Company's practices comply with the Governance Guidelines, however, the Board considers that some of the guidelines are not suitable for the Company at its current stage of development and therefore these guidelines have not been adopted. The Company will continue to review and implement corporate governance guidelines as the business of the Company progresses and becomes more active in operations.

During the financial year of the thirteen months ended December 31, 2025, the Company consolidated its Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, and Compensation Committee into a Nomination, Governance and Compensation Committee, which, among other things, is tasked with the development of the Company's corporate governance policies and to make recommendations to the Board on the implementation and assessment of effective corporate governance principles.

Composition of the Board

The Board facilitates its exercise of independent supervision over the Company's management through frequent meetings of the Board. NI 52-110 provides that a director is independent if he or she has no direct or indirect "material relationship" with the company. "Material relationship" is defined as a relationship which could, in the view of the Board, be reasonably expected to interfere with the exercise of a director's independent judgment. In addition, under NI 52-110, an individual who is, or has been within the last three years, an employee or executive officer of an issuer, is deemed to have a "material relationship" with the issuer. The Board is comprised of six directors: Anthony Tse, Francis MacDonald, Alexander Langer, Andrée St-Germain, Eva Bellissimo and Paul Gruner, of whom Andrée St-Germain, Eva Bellissimo and Paul Gruner are considered to be independent within the meaning of NI 52-110. Each of Anthony Tse, Francis MacDonald and Alexander Langer are not considered to be independent as a result of their roles as executive officers of the Company.

The Board believes it can function independently of management. If determined necessary or appropriate, at the end or during each meeting of the Board or the committees thereof, the members of management of the Company and the non-independent directors of the Company who are present at such meeting may be asked to leave the meeting in order for the independent directors to meet.

Mandate of the Board

The Board has responsibility for the stewardship of the Company including responsibility for strategic planning, identification of the principal risks of the Company's business and implementation of appropriate systems to manage these risks, succession planning (including appointing, training and monitoring senior management), communications with investors and the financial community and the integrity of the Company's internal control and management information systems.

The Board sets long term goals and objectives for the Company and formulates the plans and strategies necessary to achieve those objectives and to supervise senior management in their implementation. The Board delegates the responsibility for managing the day-to-day affairs of the Company to senior management but retains a supervisory role in respect of, and ultimate responsibility for, all matters


  • 39 -

relating to the Company and its business. The Board is responsible for protecting shareholders' interests and ensuring that the incentives of the shareholders and of management are aligned.

As part of its ongoing review of business operations, the Board reviews, as frequently as required, the principal risks inherent in the Company's business including financial risks, through periodic reports from management of such risks, and assesses the systems established to manage those risks. Directly and through the Audit Committee, the Board also assesses the integrity of internal control over financial reporting and management information systems.

In addition to those matters that must, by law, be approved by the Board, the Board is required to approve any material dispositions, acquisitions and investments outside the ordinary course of business, long-term strategy, and organizational development plans. Management of the Company is authorized to act without board approval, on all ordinary course matters relating to the Company's business.

The Board is responsible for selecting and appointing executive management and for monitoring their performance.

The Board adopted a written mandate (the "Board Mandate") whereby the Board assumes responsibility to further the objectives of the Company by directing, supervising and otherwise reviewing and approving the stewardship of the Company. A copy of the Board Mandate is available on the Company's website at https://www.li-ft.com/corporate/corporate-governance/.

Nomination of Directors

The Board established a Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, which, during the previous financial year, was combined with the Compensation Committee to form the Nomination, Governance and Compensation Committee, the current members of which are Andrée St-Germain, who serves as Chair, Eva Bellissimo and Anthony Tse. Ms. St-Germain and Ms. Bellissimo are the independent members of the Nomination, Governance and Compensation Committee. Mr. Tse is not considered independent due to his role as an executive officer of the Company. In order to encourage an objective nomination process, the Nomination, Governance and Compensation Committee has developed a skill matrix to assist with effective assessment of candidates. The Nomination, Governance and Compensation Committee has adopted a formal charter which is available on the Company's website at https://www.li-ft.com/corporate/corporate-governance/.

During the financial period of thirteen months ended December 31, 2025, prior to the combination of the committees, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee held one (1) meeting and the Compensation Committee held two (2) meetings.

The Nomination, Governance and Compensation Committee, among other things, is responsible for assisting the Board in respect of the nomination of directors and is required to identify new candidates for appointment to the Board. The Nomination, Governance and Compensation Committee periodically examines the size and number of Board with a view to determine the impact of the number of directors upon effectiveness and determine the appropriate number of directors which facilitates more effective decision making and to maintain a diversity of views and experience.

The Company recognises that an effective board needs a group of people with an appropriate mix of skills, knowledge and experience that reflects industry and commercial expertise, governance skills, as well as Company's objectives and strategic goals. Each director completes an annual self-assessment of their qualifications and experience.

The skills matrix is used by the Board as an additional tool to review the appropriateness of the composition of the Board and to identify potential new director candidates who could add complementary skills and experience to the Board.

New nominees must have a track record in general business management, special expertise in an area of strategic interest to the Company, the ability to devote the time required, show support for the Company's mission and strategic objectives, and a willingness to serve.

The Company has not adopted term limits for members of the Board, but given the short history of the Company and the wide variety of expertise currently present in its directors, the Company does not feel term limits are needed at this time. The Nomination, Governance and Compensation Committee may reassess this determination in the future.

In addition, the Company has adopted advance notice provisions within the Articles of the Company (the "Advance Notice Provisions").

The Advance Notice Provisions are intended to facilitate an orderly and efficient annual and/or special meeting process and ensure that all shareholders receive adequate notice and information about director nominees. The Advance Notice Provisions provide a clear process for shareholders to follow to nominate directors, and sets out a reasonable time for nominee submissions to be considered.

The Advance Notice Provisions fix a deadline by which holders of record of the Company's common shares must submit director nominations to the Company prior to any annual or special meeting of shareholders, and sets out the information that a shareholder must include in such notice to the Company. In the case of an annual meeting of shareholders, notice to the Company must be made not less than 30 days nor more than 65 days prior to the date of the annual meeting, unless the annual meeting is to be held less than 40 days after the meeting was first announced, in which case notice may be made no later than the close of business on the $10^{\text{th}}$ day after the announcement. In the case of a special meeting of the shareholders, notice to the Company must be made no later than the close of business on the $15^{\text{th}}$ day following public announcement of the date of the special meeting.

Compensation

The quantity and quality of the Board compensation is reviewed on an annual basis. At present, the Board is satisfied that the current compensation arrangements adequately reflect the responsibilities and risks involved in being an effective director of the Company. As well, the number of share-based incentives to be granted is reviewed and approved by the Board as a whole, following recommendations from the Nomination, Governance and Compensation Committee, which allows any independent directors to have input into compensation decisions. The Company has approved the formation of a Nomination, Governance and Compensation Committee of which the current members are Andrée St-Germain, who serves as Chair, Eva Bellissimo and Anthony Tse. Ms. St-Germain and Ms. Bellissimo are independent. Mr. Tse is not considered independent due to his role as an executive officer of the Company.

The Board delegates the oversight of compensation for the Company's officers to the Nomination, Governance and Compensation Committee which considers industry standards and the Company's financial situation. Please see "Executive Compensation" above.

Assessments

The Board annually reviews its own performance and effectiveness as well as the effectiveness and performance of its committees. Effectiveness is subjectively measured by comparing actual corporate results with stated objectives. The contributions of individual directors are informally monitored by other Board members, bearing to mind the business strengths of the individual and the purpose of originally nominating the individual to the Board.

For the Company's 2025 financial year, the Board effectiveness assessment was completed by way of confidential written questionnaire, followed by one-on-one conversation between the Executive Chairman, and the Directors, as needed. The Board monitors the adequacy of information given to directors, communication between Board and Management and the strategic direction and processes of the Board and its committees.

The Board believes its corporate governance practices are appropriate and effective for the Company, given its size and operations. The Company's corporate governance practices allow the Company to operate efficiently, with checks and balances that control and monitor Management and corporate functions without excessive administration burden.

In-Camera Meetings

The independent members of the Board meet without the non-independent Directors and management at all Board meetings. They can also choose to meet in-camera (privately) during Committee meetings. In addition, the Audit Committee holds in-camera sessions with the Company's auditors.

Other Board Committees

At the present time, the sole board committees are the Audit Committee and the Nomination, Governance and Compensation Committee, each as described above.

The written charter of the Audit Committee, as required by NI 52-110, is contained in Schedule "A" to this Circular and the charter for the Nomination, Governance and Compensation Committee is available on the Company's website at https://www.li-ft.com/corporate/corporate-governance/.
