MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR

IMPORTANT NOTICE

ANNUAL AND SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS OF MOBIO TECHNOLOGIES INC. WILL BE HELD VIA TELECONFERENCE ONLY. YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ATTEND THE MEETING PHYSICALLY DUE TO OUTBREAK OF NOVEL CORONAVIRUS

The information contained in this Management Information Circular, unless otherwise indicated, is as of November 29, 2021 .

This Management Information Circular is being mailed by the management of MOBIO TECHNOLOGIES INC. (the “Company” or “Mobio”) to shareholders of record at the close of business on November 29, 2021, which is the date that has been fixed by the directors of the Company as the record date (the “Record Date”) to determine the shareholders who are entitled to receive notice of the meeting. The Company is mailing this Information Circular in connection with the solicitation of proxies by and on behalf of the Company for use at its annual general meeting (the “ Meeting ”) of the shareholders that is to be held on Thursday, December 30, 2021 at 11:00 a.m. (Pacific Time) via teleconference call 1-613-778-2179 code 708452497 . The solicitation of proxies will be primarily by mail. Certain employees or directors of the Company may also solicit proxies by telephone. The cost of solicitation will be borne by the Company.

The Company is not relying on the “Notice and Access” delivery procedures outlined in National Instrument 54-101 Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer to distribute copies of proxy-related materials in connection with the Meeting by posting them on a website.

QUORUM

Pursuant to the Articles of the Company, the quorum for the transaction of business at a Meeting of shareholder is two persons who are, or represent by proxy, shareholders holding, in the aggregate, at least five percent of the issued shares entitled to be voted at the Meeting.

SECTION 1 - VOTING

WHO CAN VOTE?

If you are a registered shareholder of the Company as at November 29, 2021 , you are entitled to notice of and to attend at the Meeting and cast a vote for each share registered in your name on all resolutions put before the Meeting. If the shares are registered in the name of a corporation, a duly authorized officer of the corporation may attend on its behalf, but documentation indicating such officer’s authority should be presented at the Meeting. If you are a registered shareholder but do not wish to, or cannot, attend the Meeting in person via teleconference you can appoint someone who will attend the Meeting and act as your proxyholder to vote in accordance with your instructions (see “ Voting By Proxy ” below). If your shares are registered in the name of a “nominee” (usually a bank, trust company, securities dealer, financial institution or other intermediary) you should refer to the section entitled “ Non-Registered Shareholders ” set out below.

1

It is important that your shares be represented at the Meeting regardless of the number of shares you hold. If you will not be attending the Meeting in person via teleconference, we invite you to complete, date, sign and return your form of proxy as soon as possible so that your shares will be represented.

VOTING BY PROXY

If you do not come to the Meeting, you can still make your votes count by appointing someone who will be there to act as your proxyholder. You can either tell that person how you want to vote or you can let him or her decide for you. You can do this by completing a form of proxy.

In order to be valid, you must return the completed form of proxy to the Company’s transfer agent via mail or personal delivery to Odyssey Trust Company, United Kingdom Building, 350-409 Granville Street, Vancouver, BC V6C 1T2, Attention: Proxy Department, not later than 48 hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, prior to the time fixed for the Meeting or any adjournments thereof. Alternatively, you can fax your proxy to Odyssey, to the attention of the Proxy Department at 1-800-517-4553 (toll free within Canada and the U.S.) or 416-263-9524 (international). Lastly, a shareholder may complete his or her form of proxy online at 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 online, do not mail the proxy. In the event of a strike, lockout or other work stoppage involving postal employees, all documents required to be delivered by a shareholder should be delivered by facsimile to Odyssey Trust Company at (800) 517-4553.

What is a Proxy?

A form of proxy is a document that authorizes someone to attend the Meeting and cast your votes for you. We have enclosed a form of proxy with this Information Circular. You should use it to appoint a proxyholder, although you can also use any other legal form of proxy.

Appointing a Proxyholder

You can choose any individual to be your proxyholder. It is not necessary for the person whom you choose to be a shareholder. To make such an appointment, simply fill in the person’s name in the blank space provided in the enclosed form of proxy. To vote your shares, your proxyholder must attend the Meeting. If you do not fill a name in the blank space in the enclosed form of proxy, the persons named in the form of proxy are appointed to act as your proxyholder (the “ Management Proxyholders ”). Those persons are directors, officers or other authorized representatives of the Company.

Instructing Your Proxy

You may indicate on your form of proxy how you wish your proxyholder to vote your shares. To do this, simply mark the appropriate boxes on the form of proxy. If you do this, your proxyholder must vote your shares in accordance with the instructions you have given.

If you do not give any instructions as to how to vote on a particular issue to be decided at the Meeting, your proxyholder can vote your shares as he or she thinks fit. If you have appointed the persons designated in the form of proxy as your proxyholder they will, unless you give contrary instructions, vote your shares IN FAVOUR of each of the items of business being considered at the Meeting.

For more information about these matters, see Section 3 - The Business of the Meeting. The enclosed form of proxy gives the persons named on it the authority to use their discretion in voting on amendments or variations to matters identified in the Notice of Meeting . At the time of printing this Information Circular, the management of the Company is not aware of any

2

other matter to be presented for action at the Meeting. If, however, other matters do properly come before the Meeting, the persons named on the enclosed form of proxy will vote on them in accordance with their best judgment, pursuant to the discretionary authority conferred by the form of proxy with respect to such matters.

Changing Your Mind

If you want to revoke your proxy after you have delivered it, you can do so at any time before it is used. You may do this by (a) attending the Meeting and voting in person; (b) signing a proxy bearing a later date; (c) signing a written statement which indicates, clearly, that you want to revoke your proxy and delivering this signed written statement to the Company at Suite 1080, 789 West Pender Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 1H2 or (d) in any other manner permitted by law.

Your proxy will only be revoked if a revocation is received by 4:00 p.m. in the afternoon (Pacific Time) on the last business day before the day of the Meeting, or any adjournment thereof, or delivered to the person presiding at the Meeting before it (or any adjournment) commences. If you revoke your proxy and do not replace it with another that is deposited with us before the deadline, you can still vote your shares but to do so you must attend the Meeting in person. Only registered shareholders may revoke a proxy. If your shares are not registered in your own name and you wish to change your vote, you must arrange for your nominee to revoke your proxy on your behalf (see below under “Non-Registered Shareholders”).

REGISTERED SHAREHOLDERS

Registered Shareholders may wish to vote by proxy whether or not they are able to attend the Meeting in person via teleconference. Registered Shareholders electing to submit a proxy may do so by completing, dating and signing the enclosed form of proxy and returning it to the Company’s transfer agent, Odyssey Trust Company, 323-409 Granville Street, Vancouver, BC V6C 1T2, Attention: Proxy Department, or by fax at (800) 517-4553.

In all cases, the proxy must be received at least 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) before the Meeting or the adjournment thereof at which the proxy is to be used.

NON-REGISTERED SHAREHOLDERS

Only registered holders of common shares or the persons they appoint as their proxyholders are permitted to vote at the Meeting. In many cases, however, common shares beneficially owned by a holder (a “ Non-Registered Holder ”) are registered either:

  • a) in the name of an Intermediary (an “ Intermediary ”) that the Non-Registered Holder deals with in respect of the shares. Intermediaries include banks, trust companies, securities dealers or brokers, and trustees or administrators of self-administered RRSPs, RRIFs, RESPs and similar plans; OR

  • b) in the name of a clearing agency (such as The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited (CDS)) of which the Intermediary is a participant.

Non-Registered Holders who have not objected to their Intermediary disclosing certain ownership information about themselves to the Company are referred to as “ NOBOs ”. Those NonRegistered Holders who have objected to their Intermediary disclosing ownership information about themselves to the Company are referred to as “ OBOs ”.

Pursuant to NI 54-101 of the Canadian Securities Administrators, the Company has distributed copies of proxy-related materials in connection with this Meeting (including this Information

3

Circular) indirectly or directly to the NOBOs and to the Intermediaries for onward distribution to Non-Registered Holders.

Intermediaries that receive the proxy-related materials are required to forward the proxy-related materials to Non-Registered Holders unless a Non-Registered Holder has waived the right to receive them. Intermediaries often use service companies to forward the proxy-related materials to Non-Registered Holders.

The Company will not be paying for Intermediaries to deliver to OBOs (who have not otherwise waived their right to receive proxy-related materials) copies of the proxy-related materials and related documents. Accordingly, an OBO will not receive copies of the proxy-related materials and related documents unless the OBO’s Intermediary assumes the costs of delivery.

Generally, Non-Registered Holders who have not waived the right to receive proxy-related materials (including OBOs who have made the necessary arrangements with their Intermediary for the payment of delivery and receipt of such proxy-related materials) will be sent a voting instruction form which must be completed, signed and returned by the Non-Registered Holder in accordance with the Intermediary’s directions on the voting instruction form. In some cases, such Non-Registered Holders will instead be given a proxy which has already been signed by the Intermediary (typically by a facsimile, stamped signature) which is restricted as to the number of common shares beneficially owned by the Non-Registered Holder but which is otherwise not completed. This form of proxy does not need to be signed by the Non-Registered Holder, but, to be used at the Meeting, needs to be properly completed and deposited with Odyssey Trust Company as described under “ Voting By Proxy ” above.

The purpose of these procedures is to permit Non-Registered Holders to direct the voting of the common shares that they beneficially own. Should a Non-Registered Holder wish to attend and vote at the Meeting in person via teleconference (or have another person attend and vote on behalf of the Non-Registered Holder), the Non-Registered Holder should insert the NonRegistered Holder’s (or such other person’s) name in the blank space provided or, in the case of a voting instruction form, follow the corresponding instructions on the form.

Non-Registered Holders should carefully follow the instructions of their Intermediaries and their service companies, including instructions regarding when and where the voting instruction form or proxy form is to be delivered.

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 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), as amended (the “ Act ”), 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.

Oversight and Description of Director and Named Executive Officer Compensation

Compensation of Directors

Compensation of directors is determined by a recommendation of the Board of Directors. Nonexecutive directors do not currently receive fees. Long term incentives (stock options) are granted from time to time, based on an existing complement of longterm incentives, corporate performance and to be competitive with other companies of similar size and scope.

Compensation of Named Executive Officers

The Company’s compensation philosophy for Named Executive Officers follows three underlying principles:

11

  • (a) to provide compensation packages that encourage and motivate performance;

  • (b) to be competitive with other companies of similar size and scope of operations so as to attract and retain talented executives; and

(c) to align the interests of its executive officers with the long-term interests of the Company and its shareholders through stock related programs.

When determining compensation policies and individual compensation levels for the Company’s executive officers, the Company takes into consideration a variety of factors including management’s understanding of the amount of compensation generally paid by similarly situated companies to their executives with similar roles and responsibilities; each executive officer’s individual performance during the fiscal year; each executive officer’s experience, skills and level of responsibility; the executive’s historical compensation and performance within the Company; and existing market standards within the mining industry. Management presents its recommendations to the Board of Directors.

The Board of Directors approves compensation annually and on an as-needed basis, with input from management, on the specific work to be undertaken.

Elements of NEO Compensation

Compensation Mix

In keeping with the Company’s philosophy to link executive compensation to corporate performance and to motivate executives to achieve required levels of performance, the Company has adopted a model that includes both base salary and “at-risk” compensation comprised of participation in the Company’s Long-Term Incentive Plan (stock options), as described below.

Base Salary

Directors may be eligible to receive a day rate for consulting services when requested by the Company to provide services not normally considered to be within the scope of Directors’ duties. The Board considers that this is appropriate for the Company's current stage of development. Base salaries are reviewed annually to ensure they reflect each respective executive’s performance and experience in fulfilling his or her role and to ensure executive retention.

Long Term Incentive Plan (Stock Options)

Long term incentives are performance-based grants of stock options. The awards are intended to align executive interests with those of shareholders by tying compensation to share performance and to assist in retention through vesting provisions. Grants of stock options are based on:

  • (a) the executive’s performance;

  • (b) the executive’s level of responsibility within the Company;

  • (c) the number and exercise price of options previously issued to the executive; and

  • (d) the overall aggregate total compensation package provided to the executive.

The value of any long-term options allocated is determined using the Black-Scholes model.

Management makes recommendations to the Board concerning the Company’s Long-Term Incentive Plan based on the above criteria. Options are typically granted on an annual basis in connection with the review of executives’ compensation packages. Options may also be granted to executives upon hire or promotion and as special recognition for extraordinary performance.

Stock compensation awards are also granted, at the discretion of the Board, to existing directors, employees, and consultants based on award levels in the past and Company performance, in compliance with applicable securities law, stock exchange, and other regulatory requirements. Share compensation grants may also be issued, at the discretion of the Board, throughout the

12

year, to attract new directors, officers, employees or consultants. The Company’s Board of Directors considers previous grants of options and the overall number of options that are outstanding relative to the number of outstanding common shares in determining whether to make any new grants of options and the size and terms of any such grants, as well as the level of effort, time, responsibility, ability, experience, and level of commitment of the director, officer, employee, or consultant in determining the level of incentive stock option compensation.

Benefits and Perquisites

The Company’s NEOs do not receive any benefits or perquisites. For additional details, see “Description of the Long-Term Incentive Plan” below.

Material Terms of NEO Agreements

There are currently no NEO agreements with the Company.

Pension Plan Benefits

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

Termination and Change of Control Benefits

There are no compensatory plans or arrangements with respect to any Named Executive Officer resulting from the resignation, retirement or any other termination of employment of the officer’s employment or from a changed of the Name Executive Officer’s responsibilities following a change in control.

Exercise of Compensation Securities by Directors and NEOs

There were no compensation securities exercised by a director or NEO during the financial year ended July 31, 2021 .

Stock Option Plans and Other Incentive Plans

In accordance with the TSX Venture Exchange’s Corporate Finance Policy 4.4 “Security Based Compensation” (the “ Policy ”), the directors and shareholders of the Company adopted the Stock Option Plan.

Except for the Stock Option Plan, the Company does not have any other incentive plans.

The Stock Option Plan is a “rolling plan”. The number of shares granted pursuant to the Stock Option Plan and any including any other share based compensation cannot exceed 10% of the number of issued and outstanding shares of the Company.

The Stock Option Plan has been established to provide incentive to qualified parties to increase their proprietary interest in the Company and thereby encourage their continuing association with the Company. The Stock Option Plan provides that options will be issued to directors, officers, employees or consultants of the Company.

Under the Stock Option Plan, the board of directors may, from time to time, grant options to purchase Common Shares to certain directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates. The maximum number of Common Shares issuable under the Option Plan and all other security-based compensation arrangements of the Company as of the date of this Circular is 3,829,754 or 10% of the issued and outstanding number of Common Shares of the Company. Section 3.3 of the Stock Option Plan sets the limits of option grants and states:

  • (a) “the maximum number of Options which may be granted to any one Option Holder under the Plan within any 12-month period shall be 5% of the Outstanding Issue (unless the Company has obtained disinterested shareholder approval if required by Regulatory Rules);

13

  • (b) if required by Regulatory Rules, disinterested shareholder approval is required to the grant to Insiders, within a 12-month period, of a number of Options which, when added to the number of outstanding incentive stock options granted to Insiders within the previous 12 months, exceed 10% of the issued Shares;

  • (c) with respect to section 5.1, the Expiry Date of an Option shall be no later than the tenth anniversary of the Grant Date of such Option;

  • (d) the maximum number of Options which may be granted to any one Consultant within any 12-month period must not exceed 2% of the Outstanding Issue; and

  • (e) the maximum number of Options which may be granted within any 12 month period to Employees or Consultants engaged in investor relations activities must not exceed 2% of the Outstanding Issue and such options must vest in stages over 12 months with no more than 25% of the Options vesting in any three month period, and such limitation will not be an amendment to this Plan requiring the Option Holders consent under section 9.2 of this Plan.”

Pursuant to the Stock Option Plan, the exercise price of the Common Shares subject to each option, shall be determined by the board of directors, and is subject to TSX Venture Exchange acceptance. In no event shall such exercise price be lower than the exercise price permitted by the TSX Venture Exchange. The Stock Option Plan also provides that the board of directors may, in its sole discretion, determine the time during which options shall vest and the method of vesting, subject to any vesting restrictions imposed by the TSX Venture Exchange.

Other Provisions

The Stock Option Plan contains provisions governing the acceleration of the vesting of options in the event of a change of control of the Company or in the event of a take-over proposal.

As at the financial year end of July 31, 2021 , the were an aggregate of 87,500 stock options issued and outstanding, including 87,500 stock options exercisable, and as at the date of this Information Circular, there were an aggregate of 87,500 stock options issued and outstanding, including 87,500 stock options exercisable.

COMPOSITION OF AUDIT COMMITTEE

NI 52-110 provides that a member of an audit committee is "independent" if the member has no direct or indirect material relationship with the Company, which could, in the view of the Board, reasonably interfere with the exercise of the member's independent judgment.

NI 52-110 provides that an individual is “financially literate” if he or she has the ability to read and understand a set of financial statements that present a breadth and level of complexity of accounting issues that are generally comparable to the breadth and complexity of the issues that can reasonably be expected to be raised by the Company's financial statements.

Section 6.1.1 of NI 52-110 requires that “a majority of the members of an audit committee of a venture issuer must not be executive officers, employees or control persons of the venture issuer or of an affiliate of the venture issuer.”

SECTION 6 - CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

GENERAL

National Instrument 58-101 - Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices (“ NI 58-101 ”) provides guidelines on corporate governance disclosure for venture issuers as set out in Form 58-101F2 Corporate Governance Disclosure (Venture Issuers) and requires full and complete annual disclosure of a listed company’s systems of corporate governance with reference to National Policy 58-201 – Corporate Governance Guidelines (the “ Guidelines ”). Where a company’s corporate governance system differs from the Guidelines, each difference and the reason for the difference is required to be disclosed. The Company’s approach to corporate governance is provided below.

Corporate governance relates to the activities of the Board, the members of which are elected by and are accountable to the shareholders, and takes into account the role of the individual members of management who are appointed by the Board and who are charged with the day-today management of the Company. The Board is committed to sound corporate governance practices that are both in the interest of its shareholders and contribute to effective and efficient decision making. National Policy 58-201 - Corporate Governance Guidelines establishes corporate governance guidelines that apply to all public companies. The Company has reviewed its own corporate governance practices in light of these guidelines. In certain cases, the Company’s practices comply with the 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. NI 58-101 mandates disclosure of corporate governance practices for Venture Issuers in Form 58-101F2, which disclosure is set out below.

COMPOSITION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Under NI 52-110 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 that could, in the view of the company’s board of directors, be reasonably expected to interfere with the exercise of a director’s independent judgment.

Of the proposed nominees, Laurie Baggio, who also serves the Company as President and CEO, is an executive officer and, as such, is considered not to be “independent”.

Melanie Pump previously served as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary, from January 2021 until August 2021. As the “prescribed period” of three years since her resignation as Chief Financial Officer and Corporation Secretary has not yet passed, she is not considered to be “independent”.

Brian O’Neill is considered by the Board to be “independent”, within the meaning of NI 52-110.

In assessing Form 58-101F2 and making the foregoing determinations, the circumstances of each director have been examined in relation to a number of factors. It is the objective of the Company to continue to have a majority of independent Board members and enhance the quality of the Company’s corporate governance.

The Company does not currently have a Chair of the Board and, given the current size of the Board, does not consider that a Chair is necessary. The independent directors exercise their responsibilities for independent oversight of management, and are provided with leadership through their positions on the Board. The Board will give consideration to appointing an “independent” member as Chair at such time as it believes that such a position is required.

Management was 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

18

complying with applicable regulatory requirements. The Board facilitates its independent supervision over management through frequent meetings of the Board and 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 as a whole reviews executive compensation and recommends stock option grants accordingly.

MANDATE OF THE BOARD

The Board is elected by and accountable to the shareholders of the Company. The mandate of the Board is to continually govern the Company and to protect and enhance the assets of the Company in the long-term best interests of the shareholders. The Board will annually assess and approve a strategic plan which takes into account, among other things, the opportunities and the identification of the principal risks of the issuer’s business, and ensuring the implementation of appropriate systems to manage these risks.

DIRECTORSHIPS IN OTHER PUBLIC COMPANIES

The following directors of the Company hold directorships in other reporting issuers as set out below:

ORIENTATION AND CONTINUING EDUCATION

New directors are briefed on strategic plans, short, medium and long term corporate objectives, business risks and mitigation strategies, corporate governance guidelines and existing company policies. However, there is no formal orientation for new members of the Board, and this is considered to be appropriate, given the Company’s size and current level of operations. However, if the growth of the Company’s operations warrants it, it is likely that a formal orientation process will be implemented.

The skills and knowledge of the Board of Directors as a whole is such that no formal continuing education process is currently deemed required. The Board is comprised of individuals with varying backgrounds, who have, both collectively and individually, extensive experience in running and managing public companies. Board members are encouraged to communicate with management, auditors and technical consultants to keep themselves current with industry trends and developments and changes in legislation, with management’s assistance. Board members have full access to the Company’s records. For a description of the current principal occupations of the members of the Company’s Board see table in the Section 3 – The Business of the Meeting – Election of Directors.

19

ETHICAL BUSINESS CONDUCT

The Board has determined that the fiduciary duties placed on individual directors by the Company's governing corporate legislation, 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 are sufficient to ensure that the Board operates independently of management and in the best interests of the Company. Furthermore, the Board promotes fair dealing with all its stakeholders and requires compliance with the laws of each jurisdiction in which the Company operates.

The Board of Directors is also required to comply with the conflict of interest provisions of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) and relevant securities regulation in order to ensure that directors exercise independent judgment in considering transactions and agreements in respect of which a director or officer has a material interest. Any interested director is required to declare the nature and extent of his interest and is not entitled to vote on any matter that is the subject of the conflict of interest.

NOMINATION OF DIRECTORS

The Board as a whole determines new nominees to the Board, although a formal process has not been adopted. The nominees are generally the result of recruitment efforts by the individual Board members, including both formal and informal discussions among Board members and the President and CEO. The current size of the Board is such that the entire Board takes responsibility for selecting new directors and assessing current directors. Proposed directors’ credentials are reviewed and discussed amongst the members of the Board prior to the proposed director’s nomination.

The Board monitors but does not formally assess the performance of individual Board members or committee members or their contributions. The Board does not, at present, have a formal process in place for assessing the effectiveness of the Board as a whole, its committees or individual directors, but will consider implementing one in the future should circumstances warrant. Based on the Company’s size, its stage of development and the limited number of individuals on the Board, the Board considers a formal assessment process to be inappropriate at this time. The Board plans to continue evaluating its own effectiveness on an ad hoc basis.

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

The Company does not currently pay its directors any remuneration for acting as directors and the only compensation for acting as directors received by non-management directors is through the grant of incentive stock options. The quantity and quality of the Board compensation is reviewed on an annual basis. At present, the Board is satisfied that the current Board compensation arrangements adequately reflect the responsibilities and risks involved in being an effective director of the Company. The number of options to be granted to any director or officer is determined by the Board as a whole, thereby providing the independent directors with significant input into compensation decisions. Stock options to be granted to “management” directors are required, as a matter of board practice, to be reviewed and approved by the “nonmanagement” directors. Given the current size and limited scope of operations of the Company, the Board does not believe that a formal compensation committee is required. At such time as, in the opinion of the Board, the size and activities of the Company and the number of management employees warrants it, the Board will consider it necessary to appoint a formal compensation committee. See Section 4 – Statement of Executive Compensation – Director and NEO Compensation.

20

COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The Company has no other committees other than the Audit Committee.

ASSESSMENTS

The Board has not, as yet, established procedures to formally review the contributions of individual directors. At this point, the directors believe that the Board’s current size facilitates informal discussion and evaluation of members’ contributions within that framework.

SCHEDULE “A” AUDIT COMMITTEE CHARTER

This charter (the “Charter”) sets forth the purpose, composition, responsibilities, duties, powers and authority of the Audit Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Mobio Technologies Inc. (“Mobio”).

The Audit Committee (the “Committee”) is a committee of the board of directors (the “Board”) of the Company. The role of the Committee is to provide oversight of the Company's financial management and of the design and implementation of an effective system of internal financial controls as well as to review and report to the Board on the integrity of the financial statements of the Company, its subsidiaries and associated companies. This includes helping directors meet their responsibilities, facilitating better communication between directors and the external auditor, enhancing the independence of the external auditor, increasing the credibility and objectivity of financial reports and strengthening the role of the directors by facilitating in-depth discussions among directors, management and the external auditor. Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining those controls, procedures and processes and the Committee is appointed by the Board to review and monitor them. The Company's external auditor is ultimately accountable to the Board and the Committee as representatives of the Company's shareholders.

Duties and Responsibilities

External Auditor

  • (a) To recommend to the Board, for shareholder approval, an external auditor to examine the Company's accounts, controls and financial statements on the basis that the external auditor is accountable to the Board and the Committee as representatives of the shareholders of the Company.

The Committee has adopted the following guidelines regarding the hiring of any partner, employee, reviewing tax professional or other person providing audit assurance to the external auditor of the Company on any aspect of its certification of the Company's financial statements:

  • No member of the audit team that is auditing a business of the Company can be hired into that business or into a position to which that business reports for a period of three years after the audit;
