The Board has fixed the close of business on August 12, 2025, as the record date (the “Record Date”) for determining Shareholders entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Meeting and any adjournment or postponement thereof. Only Shareholders whose names have been entered in the register of Shareholders at the close of business on the Record Date will be entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Meeting.

Shareholders may access and ask questions at the Meeting by way of a live conference call, which will give all Shareholders an equal opportunity to access the Meeting regardless of their geographic location. Details regarding accessing the conference call and webcast are available on the Corporation’s website at www.martellotech.com/investors/#AGM-2025. Please monitor the Corporation’s website for additional information and instructions. Please note that Shareholders will not be able to vote on matters to be addressed at the Meeting through the conference call or webcast.

The Corporation reserves the right to take any additional measures that it deems necessary or advisable in relation to the Meeting, including changing the time, date or location of the Meeting. Changes to the Meeting time, date or location and/or means of holding the Meeting may be announced by way of press release. Please monitor the Corporation’s press releases as well as its website at www.martellotech.com. The Corporation does not intend to prepare or mail an amended Circular in the event of changes to the Meeting format.

The Corporation strongly encourages each Shareholder to submit a form of proxy or voting instruction form in advance of the Meeting using one of the methods described below and in the Circular. Registered Shareholders should complete, date and sign a proxy form in advance of the Meeting and return it in the envelope provided for that purpose to Computershare Trust Company of Canada (“Computershare”), 8th Floor, 100 University Ave, Toronto, Ontario M5J 2Y1, by courier, by mail, by phone at 1-866-732-8683 (Toll Free North America) / 312-588-4290 (International Direct Dial) or by electronic voting through www.investorvote.com in each case by 9:00 a.m. (EDT) on September 23, 2025, or in the event of an adjournment or postponement of the Meeting, 48 hours before the time of the adjourned or postponed Meeting (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays). Votes cast electronically are in all respects equivalent to, and will be treated in the exact same manner as, votes cast via a paper proxy form. Further details on the electronic voting process are provided in the form of proxy. Beneficial Shareholders who receive the


Meeting materials through their broker or other intermediary should complete and return their form of proxy or voting information form in accordance with the instructions provided by their broker or intermediary. Shareholders are reminded to review the Circular prior to voting.

The Board has, by resolution, fixed 9:00 a.m. (EDT) on September 23, 2025, or in the event of an adjournment or postponement of the Meeting, 48 hours before the time of the adjourned or postponed Meeting (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays), as the time before which proxy forms to be used or acted upon at the Meeting, or any adjournment or postponement thereof, must be deposited with the Corporation’s transfer agent and registrar, Computershare. Alternatively, a proxy form may be given to the Chair of the Meeting at which the proxy form is to be used. Late forms of proxy may be accepted or rejected by the Chair of the Meeting in his or her discretion, and the Chair is under no obligation to accept or reject any particular late form of proxy.

The Corporation has elected to use the “notice-and-access” mechanism provided for under National Instrument 54-101 – Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer to deliver the Meeting materials to non-registered Shareholders, including this Notice of Annual General and Special Meeting of Shareholders, the Circular, the Annual Financial Statements and the management’s discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) for the three and twelve months ended March 31, 2025 (the “Annual MD&A”). This means that, rather than receiving paper copies of the Meeting materials in the mail, non-registered Shareholders as of the Record Date will have access to electronic copies of the Meeting materials at http://www.martellotech.com/investors/#AGM-2025 and under the Corporation’s profile on the SEDAR+ electronic filing and data access system at www.sedarplus.ca. The Meeting materials will remain on the Corporation’s website for a period of one year. Notice-and-access will not be used for the registered Shareholders and registered Shareholders will instead receive a paper copy of the Meeting materials and all proxy-related materials in the mail.

Non-registered Shareholders as of the Record Date will receive a package in the mail containing information explaining how to access and review the Meeting materials electronically and how to request a paper copy of such materials free of charge, and a proxy form or a voting instruction form so that non-registered Shareholders can vote their shares. In addition, the package will include a place to request copies of the Annual Financial Statements, the Annual MD&A and/or the Corporation’s interim financial statements and MD&A and a consent for electronic delivery.

Prior to the Meeting and for up to one year thereafter, those non-registered Shareholders who wish to receive paper copies of the Meeting materials may request them by calling Toll Free, within North America – 1-877-907-7643 or direct, from Outside of North America – 303-562-9305 English and 303-562-9306 French.

If a request for paper copies is received on or after the Meeting, and within one year of the Meeting materials being filed, the Meeting materials will be sent to such non-registered Shareholders within 10 calendar days after receiving the request. To receive paper copies of the Meeting materials in advance of the proxy deposit deadline, your request should be received no later than September 9, 2025.

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR FOR THE ANNUAL GENERAL AND SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

To be held on September 25, 2025

SOLICITATION OF PROXIES

This Management Information Circular (this “Circular”) is furnished in connection with the solicitation by the management (the “Management”) of Martello Technologies Group, Inc. (“Martello” or the “Corporation”) of proxies to be used at Martello’s Annual General and Special Meeting (the “Meeting”) of shareholders of the Corporation (the “Shareholders”) to be held on September 25, 2025, at 9:00 a.m. EST at 110-390 March Road, Kanata, Ontario K2K 0G7, or at any adjournment thereof for the purposes set out in the accompanying notice of meeting (the “Notice of Meeting”). Unless otherwise stated, all information contained in this Circular is presented as at August 20, 2025.

It is expected that the solicitation will be primarily by mail, but proxies may also be solicited personally or by telephone by directors, officers or employees of the Corporation, without special compensation. The cost of solicitation of proxies by Management will be borne by the Corporation.

APPOINTMENT OF PROXYHOLDERS AND REVOCATION OF PROXIES

The persons named in the enclosed form of proxy are officers and/or directors of Martello. A Shareholder desiring to appoint some other person to attend and act on his or her behalf at the Meeting may do so by inserting the name of such person in the blank space provided in the form of proxy or by completing another proper form of proxy and, in either case, delivering the form not less than 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) prior to the time of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof to the offices of Computershare Trust Company of Canada, 8th Floor, 100 University Ave, Toronto, Ontario M5J 2Y1. A person appointed as a proxy need not be a Shareholder.

A Shareholder executing the enclosed form of proxy has the right to revoke it. A Shareholder who has given a proxy may revoke it by depositing an instrument in writing executed by the Shareholder or by his or her attorney authorized in writing at the registered office of the Corporation at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the day of the Meeting or adjournment thereof or with the Chair of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting or adjournment thereof. A Shareholder may also revoke a proxy in any other manner permitted by law.

NOTICE AND ACCESS

As permitted by Canadian securities regulators, the Corporation is sending meeting-related materials to Shareholders who do not hold their common shares of the Corporation (“Common Shares”) in their own name (referred to in this circular as “Beneficial Shareholders”) using “notice-and-access” provisions provided for under National Instrument 54-101 – Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer (“NI 54-101”). This means that, rather than receiving paper copies of the Meeting materials in the mail, Beneficial Shareholders will have access to them online. Notice


and access will not be used for registered Shareholders and registered Shareholders will instead receive a paper copy of this Circular and all proxy-related materials in the mail.

All Beneficial Shareholders entitled to receive the Meeting materials will receive a notice-and-access notification (the "N&A Notice") along with a form of proxy. In addition, the package will include a form to request copies of the Corporation's annual and/or interim financial statements and the related management's discussion and analysis ("MD&A"). Electronic copies of the Notice of Meeting, this Circular, a form of proxy, the N&A Notice, the audited consolidated financial statements of the Corporation for the financial year ended March 31, 2025 and the related MD&A will be available at www.martellotech.com/investors/#AGM-2025 and under the Corporation's profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca. Beneficial Shareholders are reminded to review these online materials when voting. Electronic copies of the Meeting materials will be available on the Corporation's website for a period of one year. For more information about the notice-and-access procedures, please call Broadridge Investor Communication Solutions at 1-844-916-0609. Beneficial Shareholders may choose to receive paper copies of the Meeting materials by mail at no cost. In order for such Beneficial Shareholders to receive the paper copies of the Meeting materials in advance of any deadline for the submission of voting instructions and the date of the Meeting, it is recommended that requests be made as soon as possible but not later than September 9, 2025. If you do request the current materials, please note that another voting instruction form will not be sent; please retain your current one for voting purposes.

For Beneficial Shareholders to request paper copies of the Circular before the Meeting, go to www.proxyvote.com or call Toll Free, within North America – 1-877-907-7643 or direct, from Outside of North America – 303-562-9305 English and 303-562-9306 French and enter your control number, as indicated on your voting instruction form. The Circular will be sent to you within three business days of receiving your request.

For Beneficial Shareholders to obtain paper copies of the materials after the Meeting, please call Toll Free, within North America – 1-877-907-7643 or direct, from Outside of North America – 303-562-9305 English and 303-562-9306 French. The Circular will be sent to you within 10 calendar days of receiving your request.

ADVICE TO SHAREHOLDERS

The information set forth in this section is of significant importance to many Shareholders, as a substantial number of Shareholders do not hold their Common Shares in their own name. These Beneficial Shareholders should note that only proxies deposited by Shareholders whose names appear on the records of the Corporation as the registered holders of Common Shares can be recognized and acted upon at the Meeting.

Voting in Person at the Meeting

The Meeting will not be open to the general public and will be limited to registered Shareholders and duly appointed proxyholders only. There may be limited capacity to accommodate physical attendance by registered Shareholders. Shareholders may access and ask questions at the Meeting by way of a live teleconference, which will give all Shareholders an equal opportunity to access the

4


Meeting regardless of their geographic location. No Shareholder may vote by way of the live teleconference; registered Shareholders may vote in-person at the Meeting or by Proxy, and beneficial Shareholders may vote by Proxy. Details regarding accessing the teleconference will be made available on the Corporation’s website at http://www.martellotech.com/investors/#AGM-2025

Please monitor the Corporation’s website for additional information and instructions. Please note that Shareholders will not be able to vote on matters to be addressed at the Meeting through the teleconference. Changes to the Meeting time, date or location and/or means of holding the Meeting may be announced by way of press release. Please monitor the Corporation’s press releases as well as its website at www.martellotech.com. The Corporation does not intend to prepare or mail an amended Circular in the event of changes to the Meeting format.

The Corporation strongly encourages each Shareholder to submit a form of proxy or voting instruction form in advance of the Meeting using one of the methods described below and in the Circular. Registered Shareholders should complete, date and sign a proxy form in advance of the Meeting and return it in the envelope provided for that purpose to the Corporation c/o Computershare Trust Company of Canada, 8th Floor, 100 University Ave, Toronto, Ontario M5J 2Y1, by courier, by mail, by phone at 1-866-732-8683 (Toll Free North America) / 312-588-4290 (International Direct Dial) or by electronic voting through http://www.investorvote.com in each case by 9:00 a.m. (EDT) on September 23, 2025, or in the event of an adjournment or postponement of the Meeting, 48 hours before the time of the adjourned or postponed Meeting (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays). Votes cast electronically are in all respects equivalent to and will be treated in the exact same manner as votes cast via a proxy form. Further details on the electronic voting process are provided in the form of proxy. Alternatively, a proxy form may be given to the Chair of the Meeting at which the proxy form is to be used. Late forms of proxy may be accepted or rejected by the Chair of the Meeting in his or her discretion, and the Chair is under no obligation to accept or reject any particular late form of proxy. Beneficial Shareholders who receive the Meeting materials through their broker or other intermediary should complete and return their form of proxy or voting instruction form in accordance with the instructions provided by their broker or intermediary. Please also refer to “Beneficial Shareholders” below. Shareholders are reminded to review the Circular prior to voting.

A registered Shareholder whose name has been provided to Computershare Trust Company of Canada (the “Transfer Agent”) will appear on a list of Shareholders prepared for purposes of the Meeting. To vote in person at the Meeting each registered Shareholder will be required to register for the Meeting by identifying themselves at the registration desk. Beneficial Shareholders must appoint themselves as a proxyholder to vote in person at the Meeting. Please also refer to “Beneficial Shareholders” below.

Voting by Proxy at the Meeting

If a registered Shareholder cannot attend the Meeting but wishes to vote on the resolutions, the registered Shareholder should sign, date and deliver the enclosed form of proxy to the Corporation’s Transfer Agent at Computershare Trust Company of Canada, 8th Floor, 100 University Avenue, Toronto, Ontario M5J 2Y1 so it is received at least 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) before the time of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof. The persons named in the


enclosed form of proxy are officers and/or directors of the Corporation. A Shareholder giving a proxy can strike out the names of the nominees printed in the accompanying form of proxy and insert the name of another nominee in the space provided or the Shareholder may complete another form of proxy. A proxy nominee need not be a Shareholder. A Shareholder giving a proxy has the right to attend the Meeting or appoint someone else to attend as his or her proxy at the Meeting and the proxy submitted earlier can be revoked in the manner described under the heading "Appointment and Revocation of Proxies".

Beneficial Shareholders

If Common Shares are listed in an account statement provided to the Shareholder by a broker, then in almost all cases those Common Shares will more likely be registered under the name of the Shareholder's broker or an agent of that broker. In most cases, Common Shares owned by a Beneficial Shareholder are registered either:

  • in the name of an intermediary that the Beneficial Shareholder deals with in respect of the Common Shares. Intermediaries include banks, trust companies, securities dealers or brokers, and trustees or administrators of self-administered RRSPs, RRIFs, RESPs and similar plans; or,
  • in the name of a depository (such as The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited or "CDS").

Beneficial Shareholders do not appear on the list of Shareholders maintained by the Transfer Agent.

In accordance with the requirements of NI 54-101, the Corporation is using notice-and-access to send proxy-related materials for use in connection with the Meeting to Beneficial Shareholders using the "indirect" sending procedures set out in NI 54-101. Accordingly, the Corporation has distributed copies of the Notice of Meeting, this Circular and the form of proxy (collectively, the "Meeting Materials") to CDS and intermediaries for onward distribution to Beneficial Shareholders.

Intermediaries are required to forward the Meeting Materials to Beneficial Shareholders unless a Beneficial Shareholder has waived the right to receive them. Typically, intermediaries will use a service company to forward the Meeting Materials to Beneficial Shareholders. Beneficial Shareholders will receive either a voting instruction form or, less frequently, a form of proxy. The purpose of these forms is to permit Beneficial Shareholders to direct the voting of the Common Shares they beneficially own. Beneficial Shareholders should follow the procedures set out below, depending on which type of form they receive.

A. Voting Instruction Form. In most cases, a Beneficial Shareholder will receive, as part of the Meeting Materials, a voting instruction form. If the Beneficial Shareholder does not wish to attend and vote at the Meeting in person (or have another person attend and vote on the holder's behalf), the voting instruction form must be completed, signed and returned in accordance with the directions on the form. If a Beneficial Shareholder wishes to attend and vote at the Meeting in person (or have another person attend and vote on the holder's behalf), the Beneficial Shareholder must complete, sign and return the voting instruction form in accordance with the directions provided and a form of proxy giving the right to attend and vote will be forwarded to the Beneficial Shareholder.

6


Or,

B. Form of Proxy. Less frequently, a Beneficial Shareholder will receive, as part of the Meeting Materials, a form of proxy that has already been signed by the intermediary (typically by a facsimile, stamped signature) which is restricted as to the number of shares beneficially owned by the Beneficial Shareholder but which is otherwise uncompleted. If the Beneficial Shareholder does not wish to attend and vote at the Meeting in person (or have another person attend and vote on the holder's behalf), the Beneficial Shareholder must complete the form of proxy and deposit it with the Transfer Agent at Computershare Trust Company of Canada, 8th Floor, 100 University Avenue, Toronto, Ontario M5J 2Y1, as described above. If a Beneficial Shareholder wishes to attend and vote at the Meeting in person (or have another person attend and vote on the holder's behalf), the Beneficial Shareholder must strike out the names of the persons named in the proxy and insert the Beneficial Shareholder's (or such other person's) name in the blank space provided.

VOTING OF SHARES REPRESENTED BY MANAGEMENT PROXIES

The person named in the enclosed form of proxy will vote or withhold from voting the Common Shares in respect of which he or she is appointed proxy on any ballot that may be called for in accordance with the instructions of the Shareholder appointing them on the applicable proxy. In the absence of such instructions, such shares will be voted IN FAVOUR of each of the resolutions referred to in the proxy.

The form of proxy accompanying this Circular confers discretionary authority upon the person named in each form of proxy with respect to amendments to or variations of matters identified in the Notice of Meeting and with respect to other matters, if any, which may properly come before the Meeting. At the date of this Circular, Management knows of no such amendments, variations or other matters to come before the Meeting. However, if any other matters which are not known to Management should properly come before the Meeting, the proxy will be voted on such matters in accordance with the best judgment of the named proxy.

Signing of Proxy

A proxy must be signed by the Shareholder or a duly appointed attorney authorized in writing or, if the Shareholder is a corporation (or other entity), by a duly authorized representative. A proxy signed by a person acting as attorney or in some other representative capacity (including a representative of a corporate shareholder) should clearly indicate that person's capacity and should be accompanied by the appropriate instrument evidencing qualification and authority to act (unless such instrument has been previously filed with the Corporation).

Oversight and Description of Director and Named Executive Officer Compensation

Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) consists of Don Smith (Chair) and Paul Butcher. Within the meaning of National Instrument 52-110 – Audit Committees (“NI 52-110”) all members of the Compensation Committee are independent directors.

The Compensation Committee’s responsibilities include reviewing and making recommendations to the Board with respect to the overall compensation strategy and policies for directors, officers and employees of the Corporation, including executive officer compensation criteria; reviewing and making recommendations to the Board with respect to the corporate goals and objectives relevant to the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer, evaluating the performance of the Chief Executive Officer in light of those goals and objectives, and recommending to the Board the compensation level of the Chief Executive Officer based on this evaluation; reviewing and making recommendations to the Board with respect to the annual compensation of all other executive officers and directors of the Corporation; and making recommendations to the Board in respect of the grant of Stock Options to management directors, officers and other employees and consultants of the Corporation.

Director Compensation

The Compensation Committee assists the Board with respect to the establishment of the Corporation’s compensation program for its directors. The main objectives of the directors’ compensation program are to: compensate the directors in a manner that is commensurate with the risks and responsibilities assumed in Board and committee membership, and competitive with other comparable issuers; and align the interests of the directors with those of Shareholders. Directors receive compensation for their services and are granted Stock Options from time to time in accordance with the LTIP and the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”). In addition, the directors may be reimbursed for actual expenses reasonably incurred in connection with the performance of their duties as directors.

LTIP

The Board believes that the granting of long-term incentives and performance-based grants, including Stock Options, provides a reward for achieving results that improve the Corporation’s performance and thereby increases Shareholder value, where such improvement is reflected in an increase in the price of the Common Shares. In making a determination as to whether a grant of Stock Options or Awards is appropriate and if so, the number of Stock Options or Awards that should be granted, the Board considers: the number and terms of outstanding Stock Options or Awards held; the aggregate value in securities of the Corporation that the Board intends to award as compensation; the potential dilution to Shareholders; general industry standards and the limits imposed by the terms of the LTIP and Exchange policies. The granting of Stock Options or Awards allows the Corporation to reward individual efforts to increase value for Shareholders without requiring the Corporation to use cash. The terms and conditions of the Stock Options or Awards granted, including vesting provisions and exercise prices, are governed by the terms of the LTIP, described in Exhibit “B” to the Management Information Circular dated August 18, 2023, available on SEDAR+.


15

Amended DSU Plan

On July 23, 2021, the Board established a DSU Plan for directors in lieu of cash compensation, and on June 20, 2024 the Board approved the Amended DSU Plan, which supersedes the DSU Plan and adds the ability for the Board to grant DSUs to eligible executives of the Corporation (each, an "Eligible Executive"). The Amended DSU Plan was established for the purpose of strengthening the alignment of interests between the directors, Eligible Executives and Shareholders of the Corporation by linking a portion or all of annual director compensation or, in the case of Eligible Executives, employment compensation to the future value of the Common Shares.

DSUs for Non-Executive Directors

In addition to strengthening the alignment of interests between the non-executive directors of the Corporation (each, a "Participant") and Shareholders, the Amended DSU Plan aims to advance the interests of the Corporation through the motivation, attraction and retention of directors, encouraging director commitment and performance due to the opportunity offered to them to receive compensation in line with the value of the Common Shares. The Amended DSU Plan allows the Corporation to retain cash, as the deferred share units are only settled after the Participant is no longer a director of the Corporation.

The terms of the Amended DSU Plan for non-executive directors remain unchanged from the previously adopted DSU Plan. Participants may elect to receive all, or a portion, of their annual compensation in DSUs. A Participant is entitled to payment in respect of the DSUs granted to him or her not later than 90 days after the Participant ceases to be a director of the Corporation, based on the greater of (a) the five-day volume weighted average price of the Common Shares; and (b) the five-day average daily high and low board lot trading prices of the Common Shares on the date the Participant ceases to be a director.

DSUs for Executives

The Amended DSU Plan adds the ability for the Board to grant DSUs to Eligible Executives. The default vesting term for DSUs granted to Eligible Executives is 36 months, with a third of the DSUs vesting each year. The Board reserves the ability to set terms or conditions with respect to the vesting of DSUs which differ from the default vesting terms, and to accelerate the vesting of DSUs held by Eligible Executives in its discretion at any time.

All other terms of the previous DSU Plan remain unchanged.

Named Executive Officer Compensation

The Compensation Committee directs the design and provides oversight for the Corporation's executive compensation program and has overall responsibility for recommending levels of executive compensation that are competitive in order to attract, motivate and retain highly skilled and experienced executive officers. The compensation program is intended to reward executive officers based on individual performance and achievement of corporate objectives. Martello's executive compensation program is comprised of base salary, short-term bonus awards and long-term incentives such as Stock Options or Awards.


The Compensation Committee introduced an executive compensation plan in fiscal 2020. This plan was designed to reward the executive team of the Corporation for business performance that achieves Martello’s strategic initiatives and creates Shareholder value without exposing Martello to excessive risk. The Compensation Committee actively reviews the compensation plan to remain competitive in the market.

The annual incentive awards are determined by the Compensation Committee by evaluating performance versus an approved budget with respect to a combination of criteria allocated as follows: (a) Revenue Growth – annual organic growth in revenue, with targets set annually for the Corporation; (b) Profitability – meeting annual adjusted EBITDA goals; (c) Employee Engagement; and (d) Personal Objectives - qualitative and other quantitative objectives that address the more specific requirements of each executive’s role at the particular time.

In making overall compensation decisions, the Compensation Committee strives to find a balance between short-term and long-term compensation and cash versus equity incentive compensation. Base salaries or fees primarily reward recent performance and Stock Options and Awards encourage long-term results and serve as a retention tool. The annual salary or fee for each NEO, as applicable, is determined by the Compensation Committee and recommended to the Board based on the level of responsibility and experience of the individual, the relative importance of the position to the Corporation, the professional qualifications of the individual and the performance of the individual over time. The performance and salary or fees of each NEO are reviewed periodically and at least annually. Increases are evaluated on an individual basis based upon performance and market comparisons. Compensation is tied to performance criteria or goals such as milestones, key performance indicators or transactions. In determining and approving the base salary for each NEO, the Board and the Compensation Committee take into consideration available market data. A specific benchmark is not targeted and a formal peer group has not been established by the Compensation Committee.

Pension Disclosure

The Corporation does not provide any pension, retirement plan or other remuneration for its directors or officers.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Pursuant to National Instrument 58-101 – Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices, the Corporation is required to disclose its corporate governance practices as follows.

Board of Directors

The Board facilitates its exercise of independent supervision over the Corporation's Management through meetings of the Board.

19


Each of Donald Smith, Colley Clarke, Paul Butcher, Alec Saunders and Michael Contento is "independent" as defined in NI 52-110 in that he or she is independent and free from any interest and any business or other relationship which could, or could reasonably be perceived to, materially interfere with the director's ability to act in the best interest of the Corporation, other than the interests and relationships arising from being Shareholders. Mr. Clark is the CEO of the Corporation and, therefore, is not independent. Dr. Terence Matthews owns 54.87% of the Corporation's common shares through Wesley Clover International Inc., and therefore, is not independent.

Directorships

The Directors of the Corporation are not currently also directors of any other reporting issuers, as of the date of this Circular.

Orientation and Continuing Education

The Board consists of directors who are familiar with the Corporation's industry or who bring expertise to the Board from their professional experience.

Ethical Business Conduct

Directors and executive officers are required by applicable law to promptly disclose any potential conflict of interest that may arise. If a director or executive officer has a material interest in an agreement or transaction, applicable law and principles of sound corporate governance require them to declare the interest in writing and, where required by applicable law, to abstain from voting with respect to such agreement or transaction. Employees of the Corporation are required to disclose any such conflict and take prompt action to remedy it.

Nomination of Directors

The Board is responsible for the identification and assessment of potential directors for selection by the Board. While no formal nomination procedures are in place to identify new candidates, the Board does review the experience and performance of nominees for election to the Board. Members of the Board are canvassed with respect to the qualifications of a prospective candidate and each candidate is evaluated with respect to his or her experience and expertise, with particular attention paid to those areas of expertise that could complement and enhance the current Board and members of management. The Board also assesses any potential conflicts, independence or time commitment concerns that the candidate may present.

In identifying and considering new candidates for Board nominations, the Board considers among other factors, the impact of the number of directors upon the effectiveness of the Board and the appropriate number of directors to facilitate more effective decision making. The competencies that the Board should possess, the diversity of the Board, and the skills, experience and reputation of each current director are considered by the Board. The Board is continuously evaluated to assess directors' performance and to make any required improvements.
