-
The aggregate number of optioned Common Shares granted within a 12-month period to any one optionee must not exceed 5% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, unless the Company has obtained disinterested shareholder approval;
-
The aggregate number of optioned Common Shares granted within a 12-month period to any one consultant must not exceed 2% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares;

-
Options may be exercisable for a term of up to ten years, subject to earlier termination as follows: (i) immediately in the event of dismissal with cause; (ii) 90 days (or up to one year at the discretion of the Board) from the date of termination other than for cause; or (iii) in the event of death, the earlier of the date of expiration of the term and one year from the date of death;

Pursuant to Policy 2.4, until the Company has completed a Qualifying Transaction, the Company may not make a payment of any kind, directly or indirectly, to a non-arm’s length party of the Company (including its directors and officers) in respect of remuneration, which includes, but is not limited to, salaries, consulting fees, management contract fees or directors’ fees, finder’s fees, loans, advances and bonuses. Accordingly, during the financial year end of June 30, 2019, no cash compensation was paid to any of the Company’s directors or executive officers.
The Company may grant stock options to the directors and NEOs pursuant to the Company’s Option Plan. The Board of Directors is responsible for granting options under the Option Plan. In determining whether to grant options, the Board of Directors considers, among other things, the perceived contribution of the NEO or director to the Company.
