e. Stock option plans and other incentive plans

All capitalized terms used but not defined herein in this Section e – Stock options plans and other incentive plans have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Omnibus Plan, the full text of which is available on the Company’s issuer profile on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca).

Purpose

The Omnibus Plan was adopted by the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) on December 20, 2024. The purpose of the Omnibus Plan is to provide the Company with a share-related mechanism to attract, retain and motivate qualified Directors, Officers, Employees and Consultants to reward such of those Directors, Officers, Employees and Consultants as may be granted Awards under the Omnibus Plan by the Board from time to time for their contributions toward the long term goals and success of the Company and to enable and encourage such Directors, Officers, Employees and Consultants to acquire Common Shares as long term investments and proprietary interests in the Company.

Types of Awards

The Omnibus Plan provides for the grant of Awards which may be denominated or settled in Common Shares, cash or in such other forms as provided for in the Omnibus Plan. All Awards will be evidenced by an agreement or other instrument or document (an “Award Agreement”).

Plan Administration

The Omnibus Plan will be administered by the Board, which may delegate its authority to any duly authorized committee of the Board (the “Plan Administrator”). The Plan Administrator has sole and complete authority, in its discretion, to:

(a) determine the Persons to whom grants of Awards under the Omnibus Plan may be made;
(b) make grants of Awards under the Omnibus Plan, whether relating to the issuance of Common Shares or otherwise (including any combination of Options, RSUs, PSUs, DSUs or Other Share-Based Awards), in such amounts, to such Participants and, subject to the provisions of the Omnibus Plan, on such terms and conditions as it determines, including, without limitation:

i. the time or times at which Awards may be granted;


ii. the conditions under which: (A) Awards may be granted to Participants; or (B) Awards may be forfeited to the Company, including any conditions relating to the attainment of specified performance goals;
iii. the number of Common Shares to be covered by any Award;
iv. the price, if any, to be paid by a Participant in connection with the purchase of Common Shares covered by any Awards;
v. whether restrictions or limitations are to be imposed on the Common Shares issuable pursuant to grants of any Award, and the nature of such restrictions or limitations, if any; and
vi. any acceleration of exercisability or vesting, or waiver of termination regarding any Award, based on such factors as the Plan Administrator may determine;

(c) establish the form or forms of Award Agreements;
(d) cancel, amend, adjust or otherwise change any Award under such circumstances as the Plan Administrator may consider appropriate in accordance with the provisions of the Omnibus Plan;
(e) construe and interpret the Omnibus Plan and all Award Agreements;
(f) adopt, amend, prescribe and rescind administrative guidelines and other rules and regulations relating to the Omnibus Plan, including rules and regulations relating to sub-plans established for the purpose of satisfying applicable foreign laws or for qualifying for favorable tax treatment under applicable foreign laws; and
(g) make all other determinations and take all other actions necessary or advisable for the implementation and administration of the Omnibus Plan.

Common Shares Available for Awards

The Omnibus Plan is a "rolling up to 10% and fixed up to 10%" Security Based Compensation Plan, as defined in Policy 4.4 - Security Based Compensation of the Exchange. The Omnibus Plan is a: (a) "rolling" plan pursuant to which the number of Common Shares that are issuable pursuant to the exercise of Options (including the existing Options) granted under the Omnibus Plan shall not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares as at the date of any Option grant; and (b) "fixed" plan under which the number of Common Shares that are issuable pursuant to all Awards other than Options granted under the Omnibus Plan and under any other security based compensation arrangement, in aggregate is a maximum of 25,940,154 Common Shares, in each case, subject to adjustment as provided in the Omnibus Plan and any subsequent amendment to the Omnibus Plan.

The aggregate number of Common Shares: (a) issued to Consultants within any one-year period, under all of the Company's security based compensation arrangements may not exceed 2% of the Company's total issued and outstanding Common Shares; (b) issued to any one individual within any one-year period, under all of the Company's security based compensation arrangements may not exceed 5% of the Company's total issued and outstanding Common Shares, unless disinterested shareholder approval has been obtained; (c) issued to Persons employed to provide investor relations services within any one-year period, under all of the Company's security based compensation arrangements, may not exceed 2% of the Company's total issued and outstanding Common Shares; (d) issuable to Insiders (as defined in the Omnibus Plan) (as a group) at any time under all of the Company's security based compensation arrangements may not exceed 10% of the Company's total issued and outstanding Common Shares, unless disinterested shareholder approval has been obtained; and (e) issued to Insiders (as a group) within any one-year period, under all of the Company's security based compensation arrangements may not exceed 10% of the Company's total issued and outstanding Common Shares, unless disinterested shareholder approval has been obtained

Blackout Period

In the event that the Award Date (as defined in the Omnibus Plan) occurs, or an Award expires, during a Black-Out Period (as defined herein), the effective Award Date for such Award, or expiry of such Award, as the case may be, will be no later than 10 business days after the last day of the Black-Out Period, and the Market Price (as defined in the Omnibus Plan) with respect to the grant of such Award shall be calculated based on the VWAP of the five business days after the last day of the Black-Out Period. For the purposes thereof, a "Black-Out Period" means that period during


which a trading black-out period is imposed by the Company to restrict trades in the Company's securities by a Participant.

Duration of options, restricted share units, deferred share units or other awards

Subject to the provisions of the Omnibus Plan and such other terms and conditions as the Plan Administrator may prescribe, including with respect to performance and vesting conditions, the Plan Administrator may, from time to time, grant the following types of Awards to any Participant.

(a) Options

An Option entitles a holder thereof to purchase a Common Share at an exercise price set at the time of the grant, such price must in all cases, unless otherwise determined by the Board, be not less than the Market Price on the relevant date. Each Option will expire on the expiry date specified in the Award Agreement (which shall not be later than the 10th anniversary of the date of grant) or, if not so specified, means the 10th anniversary of the date of grant.

Options issued to any Participant retained to provide Investor Relations Activities must vest in stages over a period of not less than 12 months such that: (A) no more than 1/4 of the Options vest no sooner than three months after the Options were granted; (B) no more than another 1/4 of the Options vest no sooner than six months after the Options were granted; (C) no more than another 1/4 of the Options vest no sooner than nine months after the Options were granted; and (D) no more than another 1/4 of the Options vest no sooner than 12 months after the Options were granted. There can be no acceleration of the vesting requirements applicable to stock options granted to a Participant conducting Investor Relations Activities on behalf of the Company without the prior written approval of the Exchange. Participants conducting Investor Relations Activities shall only be permitted to receive Options.

A Participant or the Personal Representative of the Participant (as defined in the Omnibus Plan) may elect to exercise such Options on a cashless basis, which means the exercise of an Option where the Company has an arrangement with a brokerage firm pursuant to which the brokerage firm will loan money to the Participant to purchase the Common Shares underlying the Option and then the brokerage firm sells a sufficient number of Common Shares to cover the exercise price of the Option in order to repay the loan made to the Participant and receives an equivalent number of Common Shares from the exercise of the Options as were sold to cover the loan and the Participant then receives the balance of the Common Shares or the cash proceeds from the balance of the Common Shares.

Other than a person conducting Investor Relations Activities, a Participant or the Personal Representative of the Participant may elect to exercise an Option without payment of the aggregate exercise price of the Common Shares to be purchased pursuant to the exercise of the Option (a "Net Exercise") by delivering a net exercise notice to the Plan Administrator. Upon receipt by the Plan Administrator of a net exercise notice from a Participant or Personal Representative of a Participant, the Company shall calculate and issue to such Participant or Personal Representative of such Participant that number of Common Shares as is determined by application of the following formula:

$$
\mathrm {X} = [ \mathrm {Y} (\mathrm {A} - \mathrm {B}) ] / \mathrm {A}
$$

Where:

$\mathbf{X} =$ the number of Common Shares to be issued to the Participant upon the Net Exercise

$\mathbf{Y} =$ the number of Common Shares underlying the Options being exercised

$\mathbf{A} =$ the VWAP as at the date of the Net Exercise Notice, if such VWAP is greater than the Exercise Price

$\mathbf{B} =$ the Exercise Price of the Options being exercised

(b) Deferred Share Units


A DSU is a unit that vests one year or more following a grant but does not settle until a future date after the vesting, generally as established in the Award Agreement, or if not so established, then upon termination of service with the Company. The number of DSUs (including fractional DSUs) granted at any particular time will be calculated by dividing (a) the amount of any compensation that is to be paid in DSUs, as determined by the Plan Administrator by (b) the Market Price on the relevant date.

DSUs shall be settled on the date established in the Award Agreement; provided, however that in no event shall a DSU be settled prior to, or later than one year following, the date of the applicable Participant’s separation from service. Subject to the terms of the Omnibus Plan, and except as otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, on the settlement date for any DSU, the Participant will redeem each vested DSU for a Common Share, a cash payment, or a combination thereof.

Unless otherwise determined by the Plan Administrator and set forth in the particular Award Agreement, DSUs will be credited with dividend equivalents in the form of additional DSUs as of each dividend payment date in respect of which normal cash dividends are paid on Common Shares. Dividend equivalents will vest in proportion to the DSUs to which they relate and will be settled in the same manner as the DSUs.

(c) Restricted Share Units

An RSU is a unit equivalent in value to a Common Share that vests one year or more following a grant. The number of RSUs (including fractional RSUs) granted at any particular time will be calculated by dividing (a) the amount of any compensation that is to be paid in RSUs, as determined by the Plan Administrator, by (b) the Market Price of a Common Share on the relevant date.

The Plan Administrator will have the sole authority to determine the settlement terms applicable to the grant of RSUs. Subject to the terms of the Omnibus Plan, and except as otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, on the settlement date for any RSU, the Participant will redeem each vested RSU for a Common Share, a cash payment, or a combination thereof.

Unless otherwise determined by the Plan Administrator and set forth in the particular Award Agreement, RSUs will be credited with dividend equivalents in the form of additional RSUs as of each dividend payment date in respect of which normal cash dividends are paid on Common Shares. Dividend equivalents will vest in proportion to the RSUs to which they relate and will be settled in the same manner as the RSUs.

(d) Performance Share Units

The Plan Administrator will issue performance goals prior to the date of grant to which such performance goals pertain. The performance goals may be based upon the achievement of corporate, divisional or individual goals and may be applied to performance relative to an index or comparator group, or on any other basis determined by the Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator may modify the performance goals as necessary to align them with the Company’s corporate objectives, subject to any limitations set forth in an Award Agreement or other agreement with a Participant. The performance goals may include a threshold level of performance below which no payment will be made (or no vesting will occur), levels of performance at which specified payments will be made (or specified vesting will occur) and a maximum level of performance above which no additional payment will be made (or at which full vesting will occur), all as set forth in the applicable Award Agreement.

Each PSU will consist of a right to receive a Common Share, cash payment, or a combination thereof, upon the achievement of such performance goals during such performance periods as the Plan Administrator may establish. No PSUs issued to a Participant may vest before the date that is one year following the date they are granted.

(e) Other Share-Based Awards

Each Other Share-Based Award shall consist of a right (a) which is other than an Award or right described above, and (b) which is denominated or payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on or related to, Common Shares (including, without limitation, securities convertible into Common Shares) as are deemed by the Plan Administrator to be consistent with the purposes of the Omnibus Plan; provided, however, that such right will comply


with applicable law. Subject to the terms of the Omnibus Plan and any applicable Award Agreement, the Plan Administrator will determine the terms and conditions of Other Share-Based Awards.

Effect of Termination on Awards

The following table describes the impact of certain events upon the Participants under the Omnibus Plan, including termination for cause, resignation, termination without cause, disability, death or retirement, subject, in each case, to the terms of a Participant's employment agreement, Award Agreement or other written agreement:

Event Provisions Provisions
Termination for cause Forfeiture of any unexercised Option or other Award.
Resignation Forfeiture of any unexercised Option or other Award
Termination without cause Any Option or other Award that is not vested as of the termination date shall be cancelled. Vested Options or other Awards may be exercised at any time during the period that terminates on the earlier of: (A) the expiry date of such Award; and (B) 90 days after the termination date (or such other period as may be determined by the Board, provided such period is not more than one year following the termination date).
Death Any Option or other Award that has not vested as of the date of the death of such Participant shall terminate. Vested Options or other Awards may be exercised at any time during the period that terminates on the earlier of: (A) the expiry date of such Award; and (B) the six month anniversary of the date of the death of the Participant.
Disability Any Option or other Award that has not vested as of the date of the disability of such Participant shall terminate. Vested Options or other Awards may be exercised at any time during the period that terminates on the earlier of: (A) the expiry date of such Award; and (B) the six month anniversary of the date of disability of the Participant.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Plan Administrator may, in its discretion, permit the acceleration of vesting of any or all Awards or waive termination of any or all Awards, all in the manner and on the terms as may be authorized by the Plan Administrator.

Except as may be set forth in an employment agreement, Award Agreement or other written agreement between the Company or a subsidiary of the Company and the Participant or as set out in the Omnibus Plan, the Plan Administrator may, without the consent of any Participant, take such steps as it deems necessary or desirable, including to cause:

(a) the conversion or exchange of any outstanding Awards into or for, rights or other securities of substantially equivalent value, as determined by the Plan Administrator in its discretion, in any entity participating in or resulting from a Change in Control (as defined in the Omnibus Plan);


(b) outstanding Awards to vest and become exercisable, realizable or payable, or restrictions applicable to an Award to lapse, in whole or in part prior to or upon consummation of such Change in Control, and, to the extent the Plan Administrator determines, terminate upon or immediately prior to the effectiveness of such Change in Control;

(c) the termination of an Award in exchange for an amount of cash and/or property, if any, equal to the amount that would have been attained upon the exercise or settlement of such Award or realization of the Participant’s rights as of the date of the occurrence of the transaction net of any exercise price payable by the Participant (and, for the avoidance of doubt, if as of the date of the occurrence of the transaction, the Plan Administrator determines, in good faith, that no amount would have been attained upon the exercise or settlement of such Award or realization of the Participant’s rights net of any exercise price payable by the Participant, then such Award may be terminated by the Company without payment);

(d) the replacement of such Award with other rights or property selected by the Board in its sole discretion; or

(e) any combination of the foregoing. In taking any of the foregoing actions, the Plan Administrator will not be required to treat all Awards similarly in the transaction.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, and unless otherwise determined by the Plan Administrator or as set out in the Omnibus Plan, if, as a result of a Change in Control, the Common Shares will cease trading on a stock exchange, the Company may terminate all of the Awards granted under the Omnibus Plan at the time of and subject to the completion of the Change in Control by paying to each holder an amount for each Award equal to the fair market value of the Award held by such Participant as determined by the Plan Administrator, acting reasonably.

Assignability

Except as required by law, the rights of a Participant under the Omnibus Plan are not capable of being assigned, transferred, alienated, sold, encumbered, pledged, mortgaged or charged and are not capable of being subject to attachment or legal process for the payment of any debts or obligations of the Participant unless otherwise approved by the Plan Administrator.

Amendment, Suspension or Termination of the Omnibus Plan

The Plan Administrator may from time to time, without notice and without approval of the holders of voting shares of the Corporation, amend, modify, change, suspend or terminate the Omnibus Plan or any Awards granted pursuant to the Omnibus Plan as it, in its discretion, determines appropriate, provided, however, that: (a) no such amendment, modification, change, suspension or termination may materially impair any rights of a Participant or materially increase any obligations of a Participant under the Omnibus Plan without the consent of the Participant, unless the Plan Administrator determines such adjustment is required or desirable in order to comply with any applicable securities laws or Exchange requirements; and (b) any amendment that would cause an Award held by a U.S. taxpayer to be subject to the additional tax penalty under the U.S. tax code will be null and void with respect to the U.S. taxpayer unless his or her consent is obtained.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, but subject to the below, the Plan Administrator may, without shareholder approval, at any time or from time to time, amend the Omnibus Plan for the purposes of making:

(a) any amendments to the general vesting provisions of each Award;

(b) any amendment regarding the effect of termination of a participant’s employment or engagement;

(c) any amendments to add covenants of the Company for the protection of Participants, provided that the Plan Administrator must be of the good faith opinion that such additions will not be prejudicial to the rights or interests of the Participants;

(d) any amendments not inconsistent with the Omnibus Plan as may be necessary or desirable with respect to matters or questions which, in the good faith opinion of the Plan Administrator, having in mind the best interests of the Participants, it may be expedient to make, including amendments that are desirable


as a result of changes in law in any jurisdiction where a Participant resides, provided that the Plan Administrator must be of the opinion that such amendments and modifications will not be prejudicial to the interests of the Participants and non-employee directors; or

(e) any such changes or corrections which, on the advice of counsel to the Company, are required for the purpose of curing or correcting any ambiguity or defect or inconsistent provision or clerical omission or mistake or manifest error, provided that the Plan Administrator must be of the opinion that such changes or corrections will not be prejudicial to the rights and interests of the Participants.

Notwithstanding the foregoing to any rules of the Exchange, shareholder approval will be required for any amendment, modification or change that:

(a) increases the percentage of Common Shares reserved for issuance under the Omnibus Plan, except pursuant to the provisions in the Omnibus Plan which permit the Plan Administrator to make equitable adjustments in the event of transactions affecting the Company or its capital;

(b) increases or removes the 10% limits on Common Shares issuable or issued to Insiders;

(c) reduces the exercise price of an Award, except pursuant to the provisions in the Omnibus Plan which permit the Plan Administrator to make equitable adjustments in the event of transactions affecting the Company or its capital;

(d) extends the term of an Award beyond the original expiry date (except where an expiry date would have fallen within a blackout period applicable to the Participant or within five business days following the expiry of such a blackout period);

(e) permits an Award to be exercisable beyond 10 years from its date of grant (except where an expiry date would have fallen within a blackout period);

(f) increases or removes the non-employee director participation limits;

(g) permits Awards to be transferred to a person;

(h) changes the eligible participants of the Omnibus Plan; or

(i) deletes or reduces the range of amendments which require shareholder approval.

Outstanding Awards Pursuant to the Omnibus Plan

There were 16,650,000 Common Shares reserved for issuance pursuant to the Omnibus Plan as of April 30, 2025.

f. Employment, consulting and management agreements

The Company is party to a consulting agreement effective September 30, 2021 (the "Rentschler Consulting Agreement"), with a corporation wholly owned by Stephen Rentschler (the "Contractor"), pursuant to which Mr. Rentschler provides his services as Chief Executive Officer of the Company for a monthly fee of USD$10,000 plus applicable taxes. The Rentschler Consulting Agreement may be terminated by the Contractor at any time with 30 days' written notice to the Company, in which event any Options will continue to vest in accordance with the terms of the Omnibus Plan during the notice period provided for under the Rentschler Consulting Agreement. Additionally, the Contractor is eligible for an annual discretionary cash bonus targeted at 50% of the then-current annual fee, as determined by the Board.

On July 7, 2023, the Board approved and increased the monthly fee in the Rentschler Consulting Agreement to $13,000 per month plus applicable taxes.


The Rentschler Consulting Agreement may be terminated by the Company as follows:

(b) in the event of a material breach by the Contractor, whereby the Company may terminate the Rentschler Consulting Agreement without notice and without any payment to the Contractor, save and except for the payment of any accrued and unpaid fees and out-of-pocket expenses incurred up to the date of termination of the Rentschler Consulting Agreement.

(c) at any time without cause upon providing the Contractor 90 days’ written notice, or compensation in lieu of notice in an amount representing the fees payable for the 90-day notice period, calculated in accordance with the average fees paid to the Contractor over the previous 90-day period.

(d) If the Company terminates the Rentschler Consulting Agreement without cause within 12 months after a change of control event occurs, a lump-sum severance equal to 24 months of the monthly fee in effect at the time of the change of control event is payable to the Contractor.

g. Oversight and description of director and named executive officer compensation

The Company does not have a compensation committee or a formal compensation policy. The Company relies solely on the Board to determine the compensation of the NEOs and directors. In determining compensation, the Board considers industry standards and the Company’s financial situation, but the Company does not have any formal objectives or criteria. The Board determines the following components of compensation:

Base Fees

The Board approves the base fee ranges for the NEOs. The review of the base fee component of each NEO compensation is based on assessment of factors such as executive’s performance, a consideration of competitive compensation levels in companies similar to the Company and a review of the performance of the Company as a whole and the role such executive played in such corporate performance. As of the date of this statement of executive compensation, the Board had not, collectively, considered the implications of any risks associated with policies and practices regarding compensation of the directors or executive officers of the Company.

Annual Incentives

The Company, in its discretion, may award cash bonuses to executives in order to achieve short-term corporate goals. The Board approves cash bonuses. The success of NEOs in achieving their individual objectives and their contribution to the Company in reaching its overall goals are factors in the determination of their cash bonus. The Board assesses each NEO’s performance on the basis of his or her respective contribution to the achievement of the predetermined corporate objectives, as well as to needs of the Company that arise on a day-to-day basis. This assessment is used by the Board in developing its recommendations with respect to the determination of cash bonuses for the NEOs.

Compensation and Measurement of Performance

It is the intention of the Board to approve targeted amounts of annual incentives for each NEO during each financial year. The targeted amounts will be determined by the Board based on a number of factors, including comparable compensation of similar companies. Achieving predetermined individual and/or corporate targets and objectives, as well as general performance in day-to-day corporate activities, will trigger the award of a cash bonus to the NEOs. The NEOs will receive a partial or full cash bonus depending on the number of the predetermined targets met and the Board’s assessment of overall performance. The determination as to whether a target has been met is ultimately made by the Board and the Board reserves the right to make positive or negative adjustments to any cash bonus payment if they consider them to be appropriate.

The performance of each executive officer is informally monitored by the directors, having in mind the business strengths of the individual and the purpose of originally appointing the individual as an officer.

In establishing compensation for executive officers, the Board as a whole seeks to accomplish the following goals:


  • To recruit and subsequently retain highly qualified executive officers by competitive offering overall compensation;
  • To motivate executives to achieve important corporate and personal performance objectives and reward them when such objectives are met; and
  • To align the interests of executive officers with the long-term interests of shareholders through participation in the Omnibus Plan.

When considering the appropriate executive compensation to be paid to our officers, the Board have regard to a number of factors including: (i) recruiting and retaining executives critical to the success of the Company and the enhancement of shareholder value; (ii) providing fair and competitive compensation; (iii) balancing the interests of management and the Company's shareholders; (iv) rewarding performance, both on an individual basis and with respect to operations generally; and (v) available financial resources.

The Board did not use any formal peer group evaluation to determine executive compensation.

h. Pension Disclosure

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