FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

Certain statements in this Information Circular contain forward-looking information and statements within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws (hereinafter referred to as “ forward-looking statements ”) that involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results, performance or achievements or industry results to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements or industry results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. All information and statements in this Information Circular which are not statements of historical fact may be forward-looking statements. Such statements and information may be identified by looking for words such as “ may ”, “ believe ”, “ could ”, “ expect ”, “ will ”, “ intend ”, “ should ”, “ plan ”, “ objective ”, “ predict ”, “ potential ”, “ project ”, “ anticipate ”, “ estimate ”, “ continuous ” or similar words or the negative thereof or other comparable terminology, including references to assumptions. Such information may involve, but is not limited to, statements with respect to: (a) the use of proceeds from offerings; (b) capital expenditure programs; (c) information based on forecasts of future operational or financial results; (d) future acquisitions of assets; (e) future or potential product or service offerings; (f) current or future market trends; (g) strategies for growth; (h) projections of market prices and costs; (i) future liquidity and financial capacity; (j) supply and demand for the Corporation’s products and services; and (k) expectations regarding the Corporation’s ability to raise capital.

Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, as there can be no assurance that the plans, intentions or expectations upon which they are based will occur. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve numerous assumptions, known and unknown risks and uncertainties, both general and specific, that contribute to the possibility that the predictions, forecasts, projections and other things contemplated by the forward-looking statements will not occur. Such forward-looking statements or information are based on a number of assumptions which may prove to be incorrect, including those assumptions listed below and those discussed elsewhere in this Information Circular. Some of the assumptions made by the Corporation, upon which such forward-looking statements are based, include: (a) the business operations of the operating businesses of the Corporation continuing on a basis consistent with prior years; (b) the ability of the Corporation and its subsidiaries to access financing from time to time on favourable terms; (c) the ability of the Corporation to realize anticipated benefits of past or future acquisitions; (d) the continuation of executive and operating management or the nondisruptive replacement of them on competitive terms; (e) the ability of the Corporation to maintain reasonably stable operating and general administrative expenses; (f) current economic conditions that may be influenced by international economic developments in the United States, Europe, Asia and elsewhere; (g) currency, exchange and interest rates and commodity prices being reasonably stable at current rates; (h) the impact of increasing competition; and (i) the timely receipt of any required regulatory approvals.

Forward-looking statements reflect current expectations of management regarding future events and operating performance as of the date of this Information Circular. Such information: (a) involves significant risks and uncertainties; (b) should not be read as guarantees of future performance or results; and (c) will not necessarily be accurate indications of whether or not such results will be achieved. A number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, the risks related to: (a) general economic and political conditions; (b) competition for acquisition candidates; (c) the failure to identify, acquire and develop suitable acquisition targets; (d) unknown liabilities within acquired businesses; (e) insufficient cash flows from subsidiaries; (f) the loss of key personnel; (g) lack of diversification; (h) changes in laws or regulations or the interpretation thereof; (i) regulatory risk; (j) the inability to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to meet current and future obligations; (k) the inability to obtain required debt and/or equity capital on acceptable terms or at all; (l) legal proceedings against the Corporation; (m) potential conflicts of interest of directors and officers; (n) changes in tax law or other adverse tax consequences; (o) diversion of management to manage issues in the Corporation’s operating subsidiaries; (p) shift of management’s focus to integration, administration or unforeseen business or operating issues; (q) declining employee morale and employee retention issues; (r) integration of subsidiary administrative systems; (s) lack of sufficient business and financial controls or other procedures or policies within acquired entities; (t) fluctuations in operating performance and seasonality; (u) fluctuations in commodity prices; (v) illiquidity of investments; (w) adverse weather conditions; (x) uninsured and underinsured losses; (y) competition in industries in which our subsidiaries operate; (z) contractual risks, including indemnity obligations; (aa) failure to retain significant customers; (bb) damage to brand reputation; (cc) failure to attract qualified employees or interruption of the labour supply; (dd) competition for, among other things, capital, equipment, materials and personnel; and (ee) environmental liabilities.

Readers are cautioned that the foregoing lists of factors are not exhaustive. The forward-looking statements contained in this Information Circular and the documents incorporated herein by reference are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement.

Although the forward-looking statements contained in this Information Circular are based upon what the Corporation’s management believes to be reasonable assumptions, the Corporation cannot assure readers that actual results will be consistent with such information. Forward-looking statements reflect management’s current beliefs and are based on information currently available to the Corporation. We caution readers of this Information Circular not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements because a number of factors, such as those referred to in the paragraph above, could cause actual future results, conditions, actions or events to differ materially from the targets, expectations, estimates or intentions expressed in the forward-looking statements contained in this Information Circular. The forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this Information Circular or, in the case of documents incorporated herein by reference, as of the dates of such documents, and the Corporation disclaims any, and assumes no, intent or obligation to update or revise such information to reflect new events or circumstances, except as may be required by applicable Canadian securities laws.

{L1970751.1}

GENERAL PROXY AND MEETING MATTERS Solicitation of Proxies

This Information Circular is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by or on behalf of management of the Corporation for use at the Annual General and Special Meeting (the “ Meeting ”) of holders (the “ Shareholders ”) of common shares (the “ Common Shares ”) of the Corporation to be held at the Corporation’s Niagara Falls Office, 6040 Progress Street, Niagara Falls, Ontario, L2G 0C4 on January 19, 2021 at 10:00 a.m. (Eastern Standard Time) (the “ Meeting Date ”), and at any adjournment or postponement thereof, for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Meeting (the “ Notice ”).

It is expected that solicitation of proxies will be primarily by mail but proxies may also be solicited by telephone, facsimile or in person by Directors, officers and employees of the Corporation who will not be additionally compensated therefor. Brokers, nominees or other persons holding Common Shares in their names for others shall be reimbursed for their reasonable charges and expenses in forwarding proxies and proxy material to the beneficial owners of such Common Shares. The costs of soliciting proxies by or on behalf of management of the Corporation will be borne by the Corporation.

Appointment of Proxies

The persons named in the accompanying form of proxy (the “Form of Proxy”) are Directors or officers of the Corporation. Each Shareholder has the right to appoint a person or company to represent such Shareholder at the Meeting other than the persons designated in the Form of Proxy, either by inserting the desired person’s name in the blank space provided in the Form of Proxy or by completing another proper form of proxy.

A Form of Proxy must be in writing executed by the Shareholder or by the Shareholder’s agent or attorney or, if the Shareholder is a corporation, by a duly authorized officer or representative of such corporation. If the Form of Proxy is executed by an agent or attorney, evidence of the agent’s or attorney’s written authority must accompany the Form of Proxy. A proxy will not be valid unless the completed Form of Proxy is received by Computershare, 100 University Avenue, 8th Floor, Toronto, Ontario, M5J 2Y1, Attention: Proxy Department, or by facsimile at number: 1-(888)-453-0330, not less than forty-eight (48) hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and statutory holidays in the Province of Ontario) preceding the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.

Revocation of Proxies

Each Shareholder who has given a Form of Proxy may revoke it by an instrument in writing executed by such Shareholder, or by the Shareholder’s agent or attorney, and delivered to Computershare in the manner described above (together with evidence of the agent’s or attorney’s written authority) so as to arrive at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the day of the Meeting, or any adjournment thereof, at which the Form of Proxy is to be used, or to the chair of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof, or in any other manner provided by law. A revocation of a Form of Proxy does not affect any matter on which a vote has been taken prior to the revocation.

7

{L1970751.1}

Voting of Proxies

The Named Proxyholders designated in the enclosed Form of Proxy will vote the Common Shares in respect of which they are appointed proxy, on any ballot that may be called for at the Meeting, in accordance with the instructions of the Shareholder as specified on the Form of Proxy. In the absence of such specification, the Common Shares will be voted:

  • (a) “FOR” the election as Directors of the Corporation of the proposed nominees set forth in this Information Circular;

  • (b) “FOR” the appointment of HS & Partners LLP as auditors and authorization of the Directors to fix their remuneration;

  • (c) “FOR” the ratification and approval of a special resolution approving an amendment to the Corporation’s articles to consolidate all of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Corporation on the basis of the Consolidation Ratio, with the final ratio to be determined by the Board at any time during the 12 months following the Meeting Date; and

  • (d) “FOR” the ratification and approval of the Corporation’s unchanged stock option plan as set forth in this Information Circular.

The enclosed Form of Proxy confers discretionary authority upon the person appointed proxy thereunder to vote with respect to amendments or variations of matters identified in the Notice and with respect to other matters that may properly come before the Meeting. In the event that amendments or variations to matters identified in the Notice are properly brought before the Meeting, or any other business is properly brought before the Meeting, it is the intention of the Named Proxyholders designated in the enclosed Form of Proxy to vote in accordance with their best judgment on such matters or business. At the time of the printing of this Information Circular, management knows of no such amendment, variation or other matter which may be presented to the Meeting.

Non-Registered Shareholders

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 do not hold Common Shares in their own name (referred to in this Information Circular as “ NonRegistered 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. If Common Shares are listed in an account statement provided to a Shareholder by a broker or other intermediary, then in almost all cases those Common Shares will not be registered in the Shareholder’s name on the records of the Corporation. Such Common Shares will more likely be registered under the name of the Shareholder’s broker, agent or other intermediary. In Canada, the vast majority of such shares are registered under the name of CDS & Co. (the registration name for CDS Clearing and Depositary Services Inc., which acts as nominee for many Canadian brokerage firms). Common Shares held by brokers or other intermediaries (or their agents or nominees) can only be voted, for or against resolutions, upon the instructions of the Non-Registered Shareholder. Without specific instructions, brokers and other intermediaries (and their agents and nominees) are prohibited from voting Common Shares for their clients. The Corporation does not know for whose benefit the Common Shares registered in the name of CDS & Co. are held. Therefore, Non-Registered Shareholders

8

{L1970751.1}

cannot be recognized at the Meeting for the purposes of voting Common Shares in person or by way of proxy except as set forth below.

Applicable regulatory policy requires intermediaries/brokers to seek voting instructions from Non-Registered Shareholders in advance of shareholders’ meetings. Every broker/intermediary has its own mailing procedures and provides its own return instructions to clients, which should be carefully followed by Non-Registered Shareholders in order to ensure that their Common Shares are voted at the Meeting. Often the form of proxy supplied to a Non-Registered Shareholder by its broker/intermediary (or the agent of the broker) is very similar to the form of proxy provided to registered Shareholders; however, its purpose is limited to instructing the registered Shareholder how to vote on behalf of the Non-Registered Shareholder. The majority of brokers/intermediaries now delegate responsibility for obtaining instructions from clients to Broadridge Investor Communication Solutions, Canada (“ Broadridge ”). Broadridge typically mails a form of proxy return form to Non-Registered Shareholders and requests the Non-Registered Shareholders to return the proxy forms to Broadridge. 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 Non-Registered Shareholder receiving a proxy from Broadridge cannot use that proxy to vote Common Shares directly at the Meeting; the proxy must be returned to Broadridge well in advance of the Meeting in order to have the Common Shares voted. Please carefully follow the voting instructions received in order to have your Common Shares voted at the Meeting.

These securityholder materials are being sent to both registered Shareholders and Non-Registered Shareholders. If you are a Non-Registered Shareholder, and the Corporation 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.

Quorum

A quorum for the Meeting shall be attendance in person or by proxy of at least two (2) holders present in person or represented by proxy and holding in excess five percent (5%) of the number of issued and outstanding Common Shares entitled to vote thereat. No business shall be transacted at the Meeting unless the requisite quorum is present.

Record Date and Voting

The record date for the Meeting is December 14, 2020 (the “ Record Date ”). Shareholders of record at the close of business on the Record Date are entitled to receive notice of and to attend and vote at the Meeting. Only Shareholders whose names have been entered in the register of Common Shares at the close of business on the Record Date will be entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Meeting, except as otherwise provided for under the OBCA. Each Common Share entitles the holder thereof to one (1) vote at the Meeting.

9

{L1970751.1}

Approval of Resolutions

Unless otherwise specified, a simple majority of affirmative votes cast at the Meeting is required to pass each of the resolutions described herein. If there are more nominees for election as directors than there are vacancies to fill, those nominees receiving the greatest number of votes will be elected until all such vacancies have been filled. If the number of nominees for election is equal to the number of vacancies to be filled, all such nominees will be declared elected by acclamation. The resolution to amend the Corporation’s articles to consolidate its common shares requires two thirds (2/3) of affirmative votes cast at the Meeting to pass the resolutions described herein.

VOTING SHARES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS

The authorized capital of the Corporation consists of an unlimited number of Common Shares. As of the date hereof, there are 423,974,216 Common Shares issued and outstanding, each of which entitles the holder to one (1) vote on a ballot, and there are no other voting securities of the Corporation issued and outstanding. On a show of hands, every person present and entitled to vote at the Meeting will be entitled to one (1) vote.

Only registered holders of Common Shares at the close of business on December 14, 2020, the Record Date for the Meeting, are entitled to vote at the Meeting. See “ General Proxy and Meeting Matters – Non-Registered Shareholders ” for an explanation of voting by a Non-Registered Shareholder.

To the knowledge of the Corporation’s Directors and executive officers, as of the date hereof, no person beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, or exercises control or direction over securities carrying more than ten percent (10%) of the voting rights attached to any class of voting securities.

MATTERS TO BE ACTED ON AT THE MEETING

As set out in the accompanying Notice, at the Meeting to be held at the Corporation’s Niagara Falls Office, 6040 Progress Street, Niagara Falls, Ontario L2G0C4 on January 19, 2021 at 10:00 a.m. (Eastern Standard Time), Shareholders will be asked to consider and, as required, vote on the following matters:

SHARE CONSOLIDATION

The Board believes that it is in the best interests of the Corporation to consolidate the outstanding common shares of the Corporation (the “ Share Consolidation ”) on the basis of one (1) post-consolidation common share for up to twenty (20) pre-consolidation shares, or such other ratio as may be determined by the Board (the “ Consolidation Ratio ”) in order to heighten the interest of the financial community in the Corporation, and attract larger institutional investors whose investment guidelines restrict their ability to acquire the Corporation’s common shares at current prices.

As at November 30, 2020, an aggregate of 423,974,216 of the Corporation’s common shares were issued and outstanding, 257,997,558 additional common shares were issuable pursuant to the exercise of the Corporation’s outstanding common share purchase warrants and 28,955,011 stock options or other convertible securities, representing an aggregate of 710,926,785 common shares outstanding on a fully-diluted basis.

10

{L1970751.1}

Implementation of the Share Consolidation

The Share Consolidation will become effective once each of the following conditions has been satisfied:

  • (i) approval of the Share Consolidation Resolution (as defined below) by at least two-thirds of the votes cast by the shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting;

  • (ii) approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (“ TSXV ”); and

  • (iii) filing of the Corporation’s articles of amendment under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the “ OBCA ”).

Under the terms of the Share Consolidation Resolution and notwithstanding the approval of the Share Consolidation Resolution, the Board will retain the discretion to determine the Consolidation Ratio or revoke the Share Consolidation Resolution and not proceed with the Share Consolidation without further approval of the shareholders. If approved by the shareholders, the Board, in its discretion, if at all, shall make the decision with respect to the timing of the Share Consolidation.

Effects of the Share Consolidation

For illustrative purposes only, if the Share Consolidation is implemented on a Consolidation Ratio of 20:1, a holder of the Corporation’s common shares will receive one (1) post-consolidation common share for up to every twenty (20) pre-consolidation common shares held immediately prior to the effective date of the Share Consolidation, subject to rounding for fractional interests (discussed below). While the Share Consolidation will result in each shareholder holding a smaller number of common shares, it will not affect a shareholder’s percentage ownership interest or voting rights in the Corporation, except to the extent that the Share Consolidation would otherwise result in a shareholder owning a fractional share. The following table reflects the approximate number of the Corporation’s common shares that would be outstanding as a result of the Share Consolidation assuming a one for twenty consolidation, and ignoring the impact of rounding for fractional interests:

(5) Number of common share purchase options outstanding as at November 30, 2020.

(6) Assuming no additional common share purchase options issued between November 30, 2020, and the Share Consolidation.

The immediate effect of the Share Consolidation is anticipated to be a higher trading price for the Corporation’s common shares (absent other factors which could influence the price).

Fractional Interests

No fractional common shares, share purchase warrants or share purchase options will be issued as a result of the Share Consolidation. Any fractional interest in common shares, common share purchase warrants and common share purchase options that would otherwise result from the Share Consolidation will be rounded up to the next whole common share, if the fractional interest is equal to or greater than one-half of a share, and rounded down to the next whole share if the fractional interest is less than one-half of a share. In all other respects, our postconsolidation common shares will have the same attributes as the Corporation’s pre-consolidation common shares.

Because no fractional common shares (or payment in lieu) will be issued as a result of the Share Consolidation, if a shareholder does not hold a sufficient number of pre-consolidation common shares to receive at least one postconsolidation common share, that shareholder will have no further interest in the Corporation upon completion of the Share Consolidation. If a shareholder wants to hold common shares after the Share Consolidation, that shareholder should consider either purchasing a sufficient number of common shares so as to hold at least a number of common shares in the shareholder’s account prior to the Share Consolidation that would entitle the shareholder to receive at least one post-consolidation common share or, if applicable, consolidate the shareholder’s accounts prior to the Share Consolidation so that the shareholder has at least a number of common shares in one account prior to the Share Consolidation that would entitle the shareholder to at least one post-consolidation common share.

Treatment of Stock Options and Other Convertible Securities

Convertible securities, being common share purchase warrants and common share purchase options, that are issued and outstanding prior to the implementation of the Share Consolidation are governed by the terms of the Corporation’s stock options and warrant certificates. The convertible securities that may be outstanding prior to the implementation of the Share Consolidation will be adjusted pursuant to their terms on the basis of the Consolidation Ratio under the Share Consolidation (i.e., the number of common shares issuable will decrease and the exercise price or conversion price, as applicable, will increase proportionately).

Exchange of Share Certificates

If the Share Consolidation is approved by shareholders and implemented by the Board, the registered holders of the Corporation’s common shares will be required to exchange the share certificates representing their preconsolidation common shares for new share certificates representing the post-consolidation common shares to which they are entitled. A letter of transmittal will be sent by the Corporation’s transfer agent, Computershare, to each of the Corporation’s registered shareholders once the share consolidation is implemented. The letter of transmittal will contain instructions on how to surrender common share certificates representing pre-consolidation common shares to Computershare should the Share Consolidation be approved at the Meeting and implemented. Computershare will then forward to each registered shareholder who has sent the required documents a new share

12

{L1970751.1}

certificate representing the number of post-consolidation common shares to which the shareholder is entitled. Until surrendered, each share certificate representing pre-consolidation common shares will be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of whole post-consolidation common shares to which the holder is entitled as a result of the Share Consolidation. Shareholders should not destroy any share certificates and should not submit any share certificates until such time, if any, that the Share Consolidation is completed. The Corporation will publicly announce if and when the Share Consolidation is implemented.

Non-Registered Shareholders

Non-registered shareholders who hold the Corporation’s common shares through a bank, broker or other nominee should note that these intermediaries may have their own procedures for processing the Share Consolidation than those that will be put in place by us for registered shareholders. Non-registered shareholders who have questions about the procedures should contact their nominees.

Risks Associated with the Share Consolidation

There can be no assurance that the market price of the Corporation’s post-Share Consolidation Common Shares will increase as a result of the Share Consolidation or will not decrease in the future to below pre-consolidation levels. Furthermore, the reduced number of common shares resulting from the Share Consolidation could adversely affect their marketability and trading liquidity. Shareholders who do not hold a sufficient number of the Corporation’s common shares to receive at least one post-consolidation common share will not have a continuing interest in the Corporation upon completion of the Share Consolidation (or receive any payment in lieu).

Resolution for Approval of the Share Consolidation

At the Meeting, shareholders of the Corporation will be asked to pass the Share Consolidation Resolution, the text of which is set out below, amending the articles of the Corporation to reflect the consolidation of its current issued and outstanding Common Shares in accordance with the Consolidation Ratio. The Share Consolidation is subject to the approval of the TSXV. The Board recommends that the shareholders vote FOR the Share Consolidation Resolution which ratifies, confirms and approves the Share Consolidation.

“RESOLVED THAT:

  1. the articles of the Corporation be amended to:

(a) consolidate all of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Corporation on the basis of the Consolidation Ratio (as that term is defined in the management information circular of the Corporation dated December 16, 2020), with the final ratio to be determined by the Board in its sole discretion (the “ Share Consolidation ”); and

(b) any fractional interest of 0.5 or more of a common share resulting from the Share Consolidation will be rounded up to the nearest whole common share and any fractional interest of less than 0.5 of a common share resulting from the Share Consolidation will be rounded down to the nearest whole common share;

  1. notwithstanding that this special resolution has been duly passed by the shareholders of the Corporation, the Board is hereby authorized, at any time in its absolute discretion, to determine the Consolidation Ratio or revoke the resolution without further approval, ratification or confirmation by the shareholders, at any time prior to the endorsement by the Director appointed under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) of a certificate of amendment in respect of the consolidation; and

13

{L1970751.1}

  1. any one director or officer of the Corporation be and is hereby authorized and directed, for and on behalf of the Corporation, to execute and deliver or file such documents and instruments and to do all such other acts and things as are required or as such director or officer, in such director’s or officer’s sole discretion, may deem necessary to give full effect to or carry out the provisions of the above resolution.”

The Share Consolidation Resolution must be passed by at least two-thirds of the votes cast by the shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting. Even if the Share Consolidation Resolution is approved by shareholders at the Meeting, the Board will have the discretion not to proceed with the Share Consolidation.

Unless such authority is withheld, the person(s) named in the enclosed instrument of proxy intend to vote FOR the ratification, confirmation and approval of the Share Consolidation Resolution.

Presentation of Consolidated Financial Statements

The audited annual consolidated financial statements of the Corporation for the financial years ended November 30, 2018 and November 30, 2019, together with the report of the auditors on such statements, will be presented to the Shareholders for review at the Meeting. No vote by the Shareholders is required with respect to this matter.

Copies are available online at www.sedar.com or upon request, without charge.

Election of Directors

Under the constating documents of the Corporation, the Corporation is required to have a minimum of one (1) Director and a maximum of ten (10) Directors. The Board currently consists of three (3) Directors. At the Meeting, the Shareholders will be asked to elect three (3) Directors. The Corporation has nominated three (3) persons for election as a Director at the Meeting. Details respecting the nominees for election as directors are set out below under “ Nominees for Election as Directors ”.

All Directors so elected will hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders of the Corporation or until their successors are elected or appointed, unless his or her office is vacated earlier in accordance with the bylaws of the Corporation or the OBCA. The Named Proxyholders, if named as proxy, intend to vote the Common

Shares represented by any such proxy FOR the election of the nominees whose names are set forth under “ Nominees for Election as Directors ” in this Information Circular, unless the Shareholder who has given such proxy has directed that the shares be withheld from voting in the election of directors. Management of the Corporation does not contemplate that any of the nominees will be unable to serve as a director, but if that should occur for any reason at or prior to the Meeting, the Named Proxyholders, if named as proxy, reserve the right to vote for another nominee in their discretion.

Appointment of Auditors

The Shareholders will be asked to approve the appointment of HS & Partners LLP (“ HS ”) as auditors of the Corporation (the “ Auditors ”) to hold office until the close of the next annual general meeting of the Corporation. It is also proposed that the remuneration to be paid to the Auditors be fixed by the Board of Directors. HS have been appointed as the Auditors of the Corporation since March 15, 2016.

To be effective, the resolution must be passed by a majority of the votes cast thereon in person and by proxy by the Shareholders at the Meeting. The Named Proxyholders, if named as proxy, intend to vote the

14

{L1970751.1}

Common Shares represented by any such proxy FOR the approval of the appointment of HS & Partners LLP as auditors of the Corporation at a remuneration to be fixed by the Board, unless the Shareholder who has given such proxy has directed in the proxy that the Common Shares be withheld from voting in the appointment of auditors.

Ratification of Stock Option Plan

The Corporation has in place a rolling stock option plan (the “ Stock Option Plan ”) which provides that the Board may from time to time, in its discretion and in accordance with TSXV requirements, grant to directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Corporation options to purchase Common Shares, provided that the number of Common Shares reserved for issuance will not exceed ten percent (10%) of the Corporation’s issued and outstanding Common Shares at the date of being granted. The Stock Option Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors of the Corporation on the 27[th] day of January 2011, and last approved by the Shareholders at an annual general and special meeting on the 26[th] day of April 2019.

It is a requirement of TSXV policies that issuers who have such “rolling plans” seek annual Shareholder approval of such stock option plans. Accordingly, although no amendments are being made to the Stock Option Plan, Shareholders will be asked to re-approve the Stock Option Plan in accordance with TSXV policy.

Additional information regarding the Stock Option Plan, including restrictions on grants of stock options, is set forth below under the heading “ Executive Compensation ”.

There are currently 42,397,422 Common Shares authorized under the Stock Option Plan. As of the Record Date, there is an aggregate of 28,955,011 Options outstanding under the Stock Option Plan, which represents approximately 4.07% of the outstanding Common Shares.

The text of the resolution ratifying and approving the Stock Option Plan is as follows, subject to any amendments, variations or additions as may be approved at the Meeting:

“BE IT RESOLVED, AS AN ORDINARY RESOLUTION, THAT:

  1. The Stock Option Plan is hereby ratified and approved.

  2. Any of the officers or directors of the Corporation be and are hereby authorized for and on behalf of the Corporation (whether under its corporate seal or otherwise) to execute and deliver all documents and instruments and to take all such other actions as such officer or director may deem necessary or desirable to implement the foregoing resolutions and the matters authorized hereby, such determinations to be conclusively evidenced by the execution and delivery of such documents and other instruments or the taking of any such action.”

To be effective, the resolution must be passed by a majority of the votes cast thereon in person and by proxy by the Shareholders at the Meeting. The Named Proxyholders intend to vote the Common Shares represented by any proxy appointing them as proxy FOR the approval of the foregoing resolution to ratify and approve the Stock Option Plan, unless the Shareholder who has given such proxy has directed in the proxy that the Common Shares be withheld from voting in the ratification and approval of the Stock Option Plan.

15

{L1970751.1}

Other Business

Management does not intend to introduce any other business at the Meeting and is not aware of any amendments to the matters to be considered at the Meeting. If other business or amendments to the matters to be considered at the Meeting are properly brought before the Meeting, proxies appointing the Named Proxyholders as proxyholders will be voted in accordance with their best judgment.

NOMINEES FOR ELECTION AS DIRECTORS

The following table sets forth certain information with respect to all persons proposed to be nominated by management for election as Directors. The Shareholders can vote for or withhold from voting on the election of each Director on an individual basis. Unless authority is withheld, the Named Proxyholders, if named as proxy, intend to vote FOR these nominees.

Director Compensation

Currently the only form of compensation paid by the Corporation to Directors is by way of the grant of Options under the Stock Option Plan. Please refer to “ Director Compensation – Director Compensation Table ” for further information.

Corporate Cease Trade Orders

Except as otherwise disclosed below, to the knowledge of the Corporation, no Director, proposed Director or executive officer of the Corporation is, or within the ten (10) years prior to the date hereof has been, a director, chief executive officer or chief financial officer of any company that, while that person was acting in that capacity: (i) was the subject of a cease trade order or similar order, or an order that denied the relevant company access to any exemption under Canadian securities legislation, for a period of more than thirty (30) consecutive days; or (ii) was subject to an event that resulted, after the person ceased to be a director, chief executive officer or chief financial officer, in the company being the subject of a cease trade or similar order or an order that denied the relevant company access to any exemption under securities legislation, for a period of more than thirty (30) consecutive days.

Bruce Bent, John Gamble, and David Woolford served as directors of Forterra Environmental Corp. (“ Forterra ”), which was an issuer that was listed on the TSXV. On May 28, 2013, the Ontario Securities Commission issued a cease trade order against Forterra for failing to file audited annual financial statements and management’s discussion and analysis for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, within the required time period. On May 16, 2013, the British Columbia Securities Commission issued a cease trade order against Forterra for failing to file a comparative financial statement and management’s discussion and analysis for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012. On August 27, 2013, the Alberta Securities Commission issued a cease trade order against the securities of Forterra. To date, such cease trade orders remain in effect.

John Gamble served as a director of The Jenex Corporation (“ Jenex ”). In December 2009, cease trade orders were issued by the British Columbia Securities Commission, the Alberta Securities Commission and the Ontario Securities Commission against Jenex for the failure to file its financial statements and management’s discussion and analysis for the financial year ended July 31, 2010. These cease trade orders were revoked in January 2014.

Bruce Bent and John Gamble serve as directors of Enerdynamic Hybrid Technologies Corp. The Ontario Securities Commission issued (i) a permanent management cease trade order on October 28, 2015, (ii) a permanent management cease trade order on November 4, 2015, and (iii) a permanent management cease trade order on November 16, 2015, against the management of the Corporation (collectively, the “ MCTOs ”). The MCTOs were issued in connection with the Corporation’s failure to comply with the requirements of Section 4.1 of NI 51-102 with respect to filing audited annual comparative financial statements given that the Corporation’s comparative

18

{L1970751.1}

financial statements as at and for the year ended November 30, 2013, as included in the November 30, 2014 audited annual financial statements, have not been audited. The Corporation further failed to file its audited annual consolidated financial statements, accompanying management’s discussion and analysis, and the related officer certifications for the financial year ended November 30, 2015 by the applicable filing deadline as prescribed by Parts 4 and 5 of NI 51-102 and pursuant to National Instrument 52-106 – Certification of Disclosure in Issuers’ Annual and Interim Filings . The MCTOs were revoked on June 6, 2016.

Penalties or Sanctions

Except as otherwise disclosed herein, to the knowledge of the Corporation, no Director, proposed Director, or executive officer of the Corporation, nor any securityholder that holds a sufficient number of Common Shares to affect materially the control of the Corporation, has been subject to any penalties or sanctions imposed by a court relating to Canadian securities legislation or by a Canadian securities regulatory authority or has entered into a settlement agreement with a Canadian securities authority, or has been subject to any other penalties or sanctions imposed by a court or regulatory body that would likely be considered important to a reasonable securityholder in deciding whether to vote for a proposed Director.

Bankruptcies

Except as otherwise disclosed herein, to the knowledge of the Corporation, no Director, proposed Director, or executive officer of the Corporation or shareholder holding a sufficient number of Common Shares to affect materially the control of the Corporation: (i) is, at the date hereof, or has been within the ten (10) years before the date hereof, a director or executive officer of any company that, while that person was acting in that capacity, or within a year of that person ceasing to act in that capacity, became bankrupt, made a proposal under any legislation relating to bankruptcy or insolvency or was subject to or instituted any proceedings, arrangement or compromise with creditors or had a receiver, receiver manager or trustee appointed to hold its assets; or (ii) has, within the ten (10) years before the date hereof, become bankrupt, made a proposal under any legislation relating to bankruptcy or insolvency, or became subject to or instituted any proceedings, arrangement or compromise with creditors or had a receiver, receiver manager or trustee appointed to hold such person’s assets.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION Compensation Discussion and Analysis

The Corporation’s compensation structure is designed to encourage highly skilled individuals to join and remain with the Corporation, to motivate and reward performance and to be competitive with similar companies in the modular building and renewable energy industries. The significant elements of compensation awarded to, earned by, and paid or payable to the Named Executive Officers for the most recently completed financial year included:

  1. Annual base salaries;

  2. Benefits and perquisites; and

  3. Stock option incentives.

The following key principles guide the Corporation’s overall compensation philosophy:

  • compensation is determined on an individual basis and is aimed at retaining the Named Executive Officers, each of whom are highly qualified and experienced executives with a proven track record of performance;

19

{L1970751.1}

  • motivate executive officers to deliver strong corporate performance;

  • ensure a significant portion of executive compensation is dependent upon individual and overall corporate performance;

  • compensation should be fair and reasonable to Shareholders and be set with reference to the market for similar positions in comparable companies;

  • an appropriate portion of total compensation should be equity-based, aligning interests of the Named Executive Officers with the Shareholders;

  • compensation should be transparent to the Named Executive Officers and the Shareholders; and

  • offer a compensation program that meets the interests of all shareholders in a manner that is low maintenance and complements the Corporation’s corporate culture.

The Corporation has adopted a compensation program which is aimed at achieving the foregoing objectives and which has been designed as a total compensation package of short-term and long-term compensation with fixed and variable compensation components. The Board’s objective is to establish a plan of continuity for executive officers and other members of senior management (collectively, “ Executive Management ”) and other employees of the Corporation. The Board aims to ensure that the Corporation has an executive compensation plan that is both motivational and competitive so that it will attract, hold and inspire performance of Executive Management of a quality and nature that will enhance the sustainable profitability and growth of the Corporation.

The Board regularly reviews the cash compensation, performance and overall compensation package for each executive officer. The Board further reviews and assesses its compensation philosophy and guidelines for the Corporation, which includes reviewing the compensation philosophy and guidelines for Executive Management, as well as all employees, including annual salary and incentive policies and programs, and material new benefit programs, or material changes to existing benefit programs.

Elements of Compensation

The overall compensation program structure is comprised principally of a fixed component, in the form of an annual salary, and a component that is variable in nature, being the award of long-term incentive awards as granted under the Corporation’s Stock Option Plan, which is tied to personal and corporate performance.

Annual Salary

The Corporation provides an annual base salary to the Named Executive Officers. In determining the annual base salary of each Named Executive Officer, the Board considers the (i) particular responsibilities related to the position; (ii) salaries paid by comparable businesses in the renewable energy sector; (iii) experience level of the executive officer; and (iv) his or her overall performance. In considering base salary levels, the Board did not utilize any formal or specific weighting of the above factors. The base salaries are reviewed annually.

The Board informally assesses the performance of its Named Executive Officers and considers the aforementioned objective and subjective factors when determining compensation levels.

20

{L1970751.1}

Long-Term Incentive Awards – Stock Option Plan

The long-term aspect of the Corporation’s incentive plan is comprised of options to purchase Common Shares (“ Options ”) which are issued pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Stock Option Plan.

In establishing the number of incentive stock options to be granted to NEOs, reference is made to the number of stock options granted to officers of other publicly traded companies in similar industries, in conjunction with the consideration of the overall number of options that are outstanding relative to the number of outstanding Common Shares and the level of effort, time, responsibility, ability, experience and level of commitment of the executive officer or director.

The Corporation is engaged in the manufacturing and distribution of proprietary, turn-key energy solutions which are intelligent, bankable and sustainable. EHT’s expertise includes the development of its ENERTEC module structures with full integration of smart energy solutions. Using a proprietary skin and foam core that is stronger than traditional wood or steel structural insulated panels, EHT provides exceptional thermal energy efficiency in modular homes, cold storage facilities, residential/commercial out buildings and emergency/temporary shelters (the “ Business ”). The ability of the Corporation to successfully operate the Business is dependent upon its ability to recruit and retain skilled management. The Corporation believes that weighting compensation to options better aligns the interests of management with the interests of Shareholders and is consistent with the Corporation’s growth strategy. Accordingly, the Corporation has adopted the Stock Option Plan. The description of key terms below describes the Stock Option Plan. See “ Matters to be Acted Upon at the Meeting – Ratification of Stock Option Plan ”.

23

{L1970751.1}

Benefits and Perquisites

Other components of compensation include personal benefits as determined by the Board that are consistent with overall compensation strategy, including health and dental benefits, car allowance, parking and expense reimbursement. The Corporation does not provide any pension or retirement benefits to the Named Executive Officers.

Share-Based and Option-Based Awards

Currently, the grant of Options pursuant to the Stock Option Plan are the only share-based or option-based awards which the Corporation makes on a periodic basis. The principal terms of the Stock Option Plan have been described under “ Executive Compensation – Long-Term Incentive Awards – Stock Option Plan ”.

Compensation Governance

The Corporation does not currently have a compensation committee. The Board is ultimately responsible for the review and assessment of compensation for the members of the Board as well as the officers of the Corporation. Executive compensation is reviewed and approved at meetings of the Board of Directors, as necessary. Annual evaluations of the performance of each officer for the previous year are conducted by the Board, and after review and assessment, the Board considers salary adjustments and annual incentive awards (including securities-based awards). One of the principal objectives of the Board in assessing and approving compensation recommendations is to do its best at recognizing and rewarding individual performance as well as providing a fair and competitive industry level of compensation while taking into consideration the individual’s experience and performance and the financial performance of the Corporation overall. The Board also looks at compensation being paid to individuals in similar positions at similar companies listed on the TSXV in order to remain competitive and reflect industry standards. The philosophy for Board compensation is to provide executive officers with compensation which is at a level so as to be able to retain and attract qualified directors as well as to align the interests of directors with the interests of Shareholders. Members of the Board who are also officers participate in the compensation review and assessment process at the Board level however, they may be excused from discussions and decisions with regard to their own compensation.

Summary Compensation Table

The following table sets forth, in respect of the financial years ended November 30, 2020, November 30, 2019, and November 30, 2018 the total annual compensation paid to or earned by the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and each of the other three (3) most highly compensated executive officers receiving total compensation in excess of One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000.00) (the “ Named Executive Officers ” or “ NEOs ”).
