SOLICITATION OF PROXIES

This Information Circular is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the management of TREATMENT.COM INTERNATIONAL INC. (the " Company ") for use at the Annual General and Special Meeting (the " Meeting ") of the shareholders of the Company, to be held at the time and place and for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Meeting and at any adjournment thereof.

These securityholder materials are being sent to both registered and non-registered owners of the securities. If you are a non-registered owner, and the Company or its agent has sent these materials directly to you, your name, 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.

By choosing to send these materials to you directly, the Company (and not the intermediary holding on your behalf) has assumed responsibility for (i) delivering these materials to you, and (ii) executing your proper voting instructions. Please return your voting instructions as specified in the request for voting instructions.

PERSONS OR COMPANIES MAKING THE SOLICITATION

The enclosed instrument of proxy is solicited by management. Solicitations will be made by mail and possibly supplemented by telephone or other personal contact to be made without special compensation by regular officers and employees of the Company. The Company may reimburse shareholders' nominees or agents (including brokers holding shares on behalf of clients) for the cost incurred in obtaining authorization from their principals to execute the instrument of proxy. None of the directors of the Company (the “ Board ” or the “ Directors ”) have advised management in writing that they intend to oppose any action intended to be taken by management as set forth in this Information Circular.

APPOINTMENT AND REVOCATION OF PROXIES

The persons named in the accompanying instrument of proxy are directors or officers of the Company. A shareholder has the right to appoint a person to attend and act for him or her on his or her behalf at the Meeting other than the persons named in the enclosed instrument of proxy. To exercise this right, a shareholder shall strike out the names of the persons named in the instrument of proxy and insert the name of his or her nominee in the blank space provided, or complete another instrument of proxy.

The completed instrument of proxy must be dated and signed and the duly completed instrument of proxy must be deposited at the Company's transfer agent, Endeavor Trust Corporation (“Endeavor”) by mail at their offices located at 702-777 Hornby Street, Vancouver, BC, V6Z 1S4, email to [email protected] or fax at 604-559-8908, at least 48 hours before the time of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof,

2

excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, which is on or before 10:00 am Pacific Standard Time on December 23, 2021.

The instrument of proxy must be signed by the shareholder or by his or her duly authorized attorney. If signed by a duly authorized attorney, the instrument of proxy must be accompanied by the original power of attorney or a notarially certified copy thereof. If the shareholder is a corporation, the instrument of proxy must be signed by a duly authorized attorney, officer, or corporate representative, and must be accompanied by the original power of attorney or document whereby the duly authorized officer or corporate representative derives his power, as the case may be, or a notarially certified copy thereof. The Chairman of the Meeting has discretionary authority to accept proxies which do not strictly conform to the foregoing requirements.

In addition to revocation in any other manner permitted by law, a shareholder may revoke a proxy by (a) signing a proxy bearing a later date and depositing it at the place and within the time aforesaid, (b) signing and dating a written notice of revocation (in the same manner as the instrument of proxy is required to be executed as set out in the notes to the instrument of proxy) and depositing it at the place and within the time aforesaid or (c) registering with the scrutineer at the Meeting as a shareholder present in person, whereupon such proxy shall be deemed to have been revoked.

VOTING OF SHARES AND EXERCISE OF DISCRETION OF PROXIES

On any poll, the persons named in the enclosed instrument of proxy will vote the shares in respect of which they are appointed and, where directions are given by the shareholder in respect of voting for or against any resolution, will do so in accordance with such direction.

In the absence of any direction in the instrument of proxy, it is intended that such shares will be voted in favour of the resolutions placed before the Meeting by management and for the election of the management nominees for directors and auditor, as stated under the headings in this Information Circular.

The instrument of proxy enclosed, when properly completed and deposited, confers discretionary authority with respect to amendments or variations to the matters identified in the Notice of Meeting and with respect to any other matters which may be properly brought before the Meeting. At the time of printing of this Information Circular, the management of the Company is not aware that any such amendments, variations or other matters are to be presented for action at the Meeting. However, if any such amendments, variations or other matters should properly come before the Meeting, the proxies hereby solicited will be voted thereon in accordance with the best judgement of the nominee.

Registered Shareholders

As stated above, registered shareholders may wish to vote by proxy whether or not they are able to attend the Meeting virtually. Registered shareholders electing to submit a proxy may do so by:

  • (a) completing, dating and signing the enclosed Proxy and returning it to Endeavor by mail at their offices located at 702-777 Hornby Street, Vancouver, BC, V6Z 1S4, email to [email protected] or fax at 604-559-8908; or

  • (b) using the internet at Endeavor’s website, https://www.eproxy.ca/auth/login. Registered shareholders must follow the instructions that appear on the screen and refer to the enclosed Proxy for the holder’s control number and pass,

in all cases ensuring that the Proxy is received at least 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) before the Meeting or any adjournment thereof at which the Proxy is to be used.

Non-Registered Shareholders

Only shareholders whose names appear on the records of the Company as the registered holders of shares or duly appointed proxyholders are permitted to vote at the Meeting. Most of the Company’s shareholders are “non-registered” shareholders because the shares they own are not registered in their names

3

but are instead registered in the name of a nominee such as: (a) a brokerage firm through which they purchased the shares; (b) a bank, trust company, trustee or administrator of a self-administered RRSP, RRIF, RESP or similar plan; or (c) a clearing agency such as The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited (a “ Nominee ”). If you purchased your shares through a broker, you are likely a NON-registered holder. Non-registered holders who have not objected to their Nominee disclosing certain ownership information about themselves to the Company are referred to as non-objecting beneficial owners or “ NOBOs ”. Those non-registered holders who have objected to disclosing ownership information about themselves to the Company are referred to as objecting beneficial owners or “ OBOs ”.

In accordance with securities regulatory policy, the Company has distributed copies of the Notice of Meeting, this Information Circular and the Proxy (the “ Meeting Materials ”) to the Nominees for distribution to non-registered holders.

Nominees are required to forward the Meeting Materials to non-registered holders to seek their voting instructions in advance of the Meeting. Shares held by Nominees can only be voted in accordance with the instructions of the non-registered holder. The Nominees often have their own form of proxy, mailing procedures and provide their own return instructions. If you wish to vote by proxy, you should carefully follow the instructions from the Nominee in order that your shares are voted at the Meeting.

Meeting Materials sent to non-registered holders who have not waived the right to receive Meeting Materials are accompanied by a request for voting instructions (a “ VIF ”). This form is used instead of a proxy. By returning the VIF in accordance with the instructions noted on it, a non-registered shareholder is able to instruct the registered shareholder (or Nominee) how to vote on behalf of the non-registered shareholder. VIFs, whether provided by the Company or by a Nominee, should be completed and returned in accordance with the specific instructions noted on the VIF.

If you, as a non-registered holder, wish to vote at the Meeting virtually, you should appoint yourself as proxyholder by writing your name in the space provided on the request for voting instructions or proxy provided by the Nominee and return the form to the Nominee in the envelope provided. Do not complete the voting section of the form as your vote will be taken at the Meeting.

In either case, the purpose of this procedure is to permit non-registered shareholders to direct the voting of the shares which they beneficially own. If a non-registered holder who receives a VIF wishes to attend the Meeting or have someone else attend on his, her or its behalf, the non-registered shareholder may appoint a legal proxy as set forth in the VIF, which will give the non-registered shareholder or his, her or its nominee the right to attend and vote at the Meeting. Non-registered shareholders should carefully follow the instructions set out in the VIF including those regarding when and where the VIF is to be delivered.

In addition, Canadian securities legislation now permits the Company to forward Meeting Materials directly to NOBOs. If the Company or its agent has sent these materials directly to you (instead of through a Nominee), your name and address and information about your holdings of securities have been obtained in accordance with applicable securities regulatory requirements from the Nominee holding on your behalf. By choosing to send these materials to you directly, the Company (and not the Nominee holding on your behalf) has assumed responsibility for: (i) delivering these materials to you; and (ii) executing your proper voting instructions.

Notice to Shareholders in the United States

The solicitation of proxies in this Information Circular involves securities of an issuer located in Canada and is being effected in accordance with the corporate laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada and the securities laws of certain 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 applicable 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 Canada Business Corporations Act, as amended (the “ Act ”), the majority of its directors and executive officers are residents of Canada and a substantial portion of

4

the assets of such persons are located outside of 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.

In order to approve a motion proposed at the Meeting, a majority of greater than 50% of the votes cast will be required (an " Ordinary Resolution ") unless the motion requires a "Special Resolution", in which case a majority of not less than two thirds of the votes cast will be required. In the event a motion proposed at the Meeting requires disinterested shareholder approval, common shares held by shareholders of the Company who are also "insiders", as such term is defined under applicable securities laws, will be excluded from the count of votes cast on such motion.

Stock Options and Other Compensation Securities

During the financial year ended December 31, 2020, no NEO or directors of the Company were issued or granted compensation securities.

Exercise of Stock Options

During the financial year ended December 31, 2020, no NEO or directors of the Company exercised compensation securities.

Oversight and Description of Director and NEO Compensation

The Compensation Committee of the Company has the responsibility of determining the compensation for the NEOs, directors and other senior management and recommending to the Board for approval. The Compensation Committee is comprised of Sean Clifford, Christopher Cherry, John Fraser and Kevin Peterson. Mr. Clifford and Mr. Cherry are considered independent in accordance with National Instrument 52-110 – Audit Committees (“ NI 52-110 ”).

The Company’s compensation objectives include the following:

  • to assist the Company in attracting and retaining highly-qualified individuals;

  • to create among directors, officers, consultants and employees a sense of ownership in the Company and to align their interests with those of the shareholders; and

  • to ensure competitive compensation that is also financially affordable for the Company.

The compensation program is designed to provide competitive levels of compensation. The Company recognizes the need to provide a total compensation package that will attract and retain qualified and experienced executives as well as align the compensation level of each executive to that executive’s level of responsibility. In general, the Company’s NEOs may receive compensation that is comprised of three components:

  • Salary, wages or contractor payments;

  • Stock option grants; and/or

  • Bonuses.

The objective and reason for this system of compensation is to allow the Company to remain competitive compared to its peers in attracting experienced personnel. The base salary of a NEO is intended to attract and retain executives by providing a reasonable amount of non-contingent remuneration.

The base salary review of each NEO takes into consideration the current competitive market conditions, experience, proven or expected performance, and the particular skills of the NEO. The Compensation Committee relies on the general experience of its members in setting base salary amounts.

Stock option grants are designed to reward the NEOs and directors for success on a similar basis as the shareholders of the Company, although the level of reward provided by a particular stock option grant is dependent upon the volatile stock market.

Any bonuses paid to the NEOs are allocated on an individual basis related to the review by the Compensation Committee of the work planned during the year and the work achieved during the year. The bonuses are paid to reward work done above the base level of expectations set by the base salary, wages or contractor payments.

Stock Options and Other Incentive Plans

Stock Option Plan

The Company has a rolling stock option plan (the “ Plan ”) for the granting of stock options to the directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company.

8

The purpose of granting such stock options is to assist the Company in compensating, attracting, retaining and motivating such persons and to closely align the personal interest of such persons to that of the Company’s shareholders. The allocation of options under the Plan is determined to the Board which, in determining such allocations, considers such factors as previous grants to individuals, overall Company performance, peer company performance, share price performance, the business environment and labour market, the role and performance of the individual in question and, in the case of grants to non-executive directors, the amount of time directed to the Company’s affairs and time expended for serving on the Company’s Audit Committee and Compensation Committee.

A summary of the material aspects of the Plan are as follows:

  • (a) the Plan will be administered by the Board or, if the Board so designates, a Committee of the Board appointed in accordance with the Plan to administer the Plan;

  • (b) the maximum number of shares in respect of which options may be outstanding under the Plan at any given time is equivalent to 10% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company at that time, less the number of shares, if any, subject to previously options;

  • (c) following termination of an optionee's employment, directorship, consulting agreement or other qualified position, the optionee's option shall terminate upon the expiry of such period of time following termination, being 30 days, unless otherwise determined by the Board or Committee;

  • (d) an option granted under the Plan will terminate one year following the death of the optionee. These provisions do not have the effect of extending the term of an option which would have expired earlier in accordance with its terms, and do not apply to any portion of an option which had not vested at the time of death or other termination;

  • (e) no one individual may receive options on more than 5% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company (the " Outstanding Shares ") in any 12 month period, no one consultant may receive options on more than 2% of the Outstanding Shares in any 12 month period, and options granted to persons employed to provide investor relations services may not exceed, in the aggregate, 2% of the Outstanding Shares in any 12 month period;

  • (f) options may not be granted at prices that are less than the market value of the shares on the day of grant;

  • (g) in the event of a reorganization of the Company or the amalgamation, merger or consolidation of the shares of the Company, the Board may, without the consent of the option holder, cause all or a portion of any of the Options granted under the Plan to terminate or be exchanged for incentive stock options of another corporation in such ratio and at such exercise price as the Board or Committee deems appropriate, acting reasonably.

Restricted Share Unit Plan

For information about the material terms of the Company’s proposed Restricted Share Unit Plan, please refer to sub-heading “Approval of Restricted Share Unit Plan” under the heading “Particulars of Matters to be Acted Upon”.

External Management Companies

The Company has not engaged the services of an external management company to provide executive management services to the Company, directly or indirectly.

Employment, Consulting and Management Agreements

The Company has not entered into any agreement or arrangement under which compensation was provided during the most recently completed fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, or is payable in respect of services provided to the Company or any of its subsidiaries that were: (a) performed by a director or NEO, or (b) performed by any other party but are services typically provided by a director or a NEO.

Pension Disclosure

9

The Company has no pension plans that provide for payments or benefits to any NEO at, following or in connection with retirement. The Company also does not have any deferred compensation plans relating to any NEO.

Board members are encouraged to communicate with management, auditors and technical consultants to keep themselves current with industry trends and developments, and with changes in legislation, and are encouraged to attend related industry seminars in relation to the Company’s operations. Board members have full access to the Company’s records.

Nomination of Directors

The Governance and Nominating Committee is responsible for identifying individuals qualified to become new Board members and recommending to the Board new director nominees for the next annual meeting of the shareholders. New nominees must have a track record in general business management, special expertise in an

11

area of strategic interest to the Company, the ability to devote the time required, show support for the Company’s mission and strategic objectives, and a willingness to serve. The Governance and Nominating Committee is comprised of three directors: John Fraser, Kevin Peterson and Christopher Cherry.

The Governance and Nominating Committee is also responsible for the development and supervision of the Company’s approach to corporate governance issues, including the Corporate Governance Policy, the Code of Conduct, and the Securities Trading Policy (collectively, the “ Corporate Governance Policies ”).

Compensation

The Compensation Committee is responsible for recommending to the Board for approval, the compensation paid to directors and executive officers and establishing and reviewing incentive plans for directors, officers and management. For further details, see “Oversight and Description of Director and NEO Compensation”.

Other Board Committees

In addition to the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, and Governance and Nominating Committee, the Company has a Disclosure Committee. The Disclosure Committee is comprised of three directors: Christopher Cherry, Sean Clifford and Kevin Peterson. The Disclosure Committee is responsible for carrying out the mandate set out in the Corporate Disclosure Policy. The purpose of the Corporate Disclosure Policy is to ensure that all communications to the public by the Company are timely, complete and accurate, to ensure that such communications are broadly disseminated in accordance with all applicable Canadian legal and regulatory requirements, and to protect and prevent the improper use or disclosure of material information and confidential information of the Company.

Assessments

The effectiveness of the Board as a whole, any committee of the Board and individual directors is assessed on an ongoing basis by the Board and senior management.

AUDIT COMMITTEE AND RELATIONSHIP WITH AUDITOR

Pursuant to the Act and NI 52-110, the Company is required to have an audit committee. A copy of the Company’s audit committee charter is set out in Appendix A of this Information Circular.

Composition of the Audit Committee

As at the date of this Information Circular, the following are the members of the Company’s audit committee (the “ Audit Committee ”):

Name Independent Financially Literate
Kevin Peterson No Yes
Christopher Cherry Yes Yes
SeanClifford Yes Yes

Relevant Education and Experience

The Board has determined that the committee members have the appropriate level of financial understanding and industry specific knowledge to be able to perform the duties of the position. Furthermore, the Board has determined that each member of the Audit Committee is financially literate as defined in NI 52-110.

Kevin Peterson has financial experience in budgeting with federal granting mechanisms, hospital administration, medical research, university budgeting and policies, philanthropic organizations, and has coordinated budgets of hundreds of millions of dollars. He is familiar with good accounting practices.

12

Christopher Cherry has many years of practical financial and business experience, and has the ability to read and understand 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 by the Company’s financial statements.

Sean Clifford is the Director, Corporate Partnerships for Canucks Sports & Entertainment. Responsibilities in this role include reviewing balance sheets and assisting in managing internal budgets for partner engagement as well as forecasting revenue targets based on budget goals as determined by leadership.

As a result of their education and experience, each member of the Audit Committee has familiarity with, an understanding of, or experience in:

  • (a) the accounting principles used by the Company to prepare its financial statements, and the ability to assess the general application of those principles in connection with estimates, accruals and reserves;

  • (b) reviewing or evaluating financial statements, that present a breadth and level of complexity of accounting issues that are generally comparable to the breadth and complexity of issues that can reasonably be expected to be raised by the Company’s financial statements; and

  • (c) an understanding of internal controls and procedures for financial reporting.

Audit Committee Oversight

Since the commencement of the Company’s most recently completed fiscal year, the Company’s Board has not failed to adopt a recommendation of the Audit Committee to nominate or compensate an external auditor.

Reliance on Certain Exemptions

Since the effective date of NI 52-110, the Company has not relied on the exemptions contained in sections 2.4 or 8 of NI 52-110. Section 2.4 provides an exemption from the requirement that the audit committee must preapprove all non-audit services to be provided by the auditor, where the total amount of fees related to the nonaudit services are not expected to exceed 5% of the total fees payable to the auditor in the fiscal year in which the non-audit services were provided. Section 8 permits a company to apply to a securities regulatory authority for an exemption from the requirements of NI 52-110, in whole or in part.

If and when required, the Company is relying upon the exemption in section 6.1 of NI 52-110, which exempts “venture issuers” from the requirements of Part 3 (Composition of Audit Committee) and Part 5 (Reporting Obligations) of NI 52-110.

Pre-Approval of Policies and Procedures

The Audit Committee has not adopted specific policies and procedures for the engagement of non-audit services. Subject to the requirements of NI 52-110, the engagement of non-audit services is considered by the Company’s Board, and where applicable, the Audit Committee, on a case-by-case basis.

External Auditor Service Fees

In the following table, “audit fees” are fees billed by the Company’s external auditor for services provided in auditing the Company’s annual financial statements for the subject year. “Audit-related fees” are fees not included in audit fees that are billed by the auditor for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Company’s financial statements. “Tax fees” are fees billed by the auditor for professional services rendered for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning. “All other fees” are fees billed by the auditor for products and services not included in the foregoing categories.

The fees billed or billable by the Company’s auditor in each of the last two fiscal years, by category, are as follows:

13

Appointment of Auditor

A Chan and Company LLP, Chartered Professional Accountant, of Burnaby, British Columbia, are the auditors of the Company.

Approval of Restricted Share Unit Plan

On September 28, 2021, the Board approved adoption of a restricted share unit plan (the “ RSU Plan ”), which RSU Plan is designed to provide certain directors, officers, consultants and other key employees (an “ Eligible Person ”) of the Company and its related entities with the opportunity to acquire restricted share units (“ RSUs ”) of the Company. The acquisition of RSUs allows an Eligible Person to participate in the long-term success of the Company thus promoting the alignment of an Eligible Person’s interests with that of the shareholders. Capitalized terms used but not defined have the meanings ascribed to them in the RSU Plan, a copy of which has been attached as Schedule “B” to this Information Circular.

16

The RSU Plan allows the Company to award, in aggregate, up to a rolling 10% maximum of the issued and outstanding Shares from time to time, under and subject to the terms and conditions of the RSU Plan. The grant of an RSU award pursuant to the RSU Plan entitles the participant thereunder (the “ Participant ”) the conditional right to receive for each RSU credited to the Participant’s account, at the election of the Board, either (a) one Share of the Company, or (b) an amount in cash, net of applicable taxes and contributions to government sponsored plans, as determined by the Board, equal to the Market Price (as defined in the RSU Plan) of one Share for each vested RSU credited. Fractional Shares will not be issued pursuant to the RSU Plan, and any fractional entitlement arising is to be settled by adjustment such that the Participant shall only have the right to receive the next lowest whole number of Shares.

The following summary assumes that the RSU Plan will be approved by the disinterested shareholders at the Meeting and is subject to the specific provisions of the RSU Plan:

Benefits of the RSU Plan

The RSU Plan is designed to be a long-term incentive for the directors, officers, consultants and other key employees of the Company. RSUs provide the Company with an additional compensation tool to help retain and attract highly qualified directors, officers, consultants and employees.

The Board may engage such consultants and advisors as it considers appropriate, including compensation or human resources consultants or advisors, to provide advice and assistance in determining the amounts to be pursuant to the RSU Plan and other amounts and values to be determined in respect of the RSU Plan including, without limitation, those related to a particular fair market value.

Nature and Administration of the RSU Plan

Eligible Persons are eligible to participate in the RSU Plan (as “ Recipients ”), and the Company reserves the right to restrict eligibility or otherwise limit the number of persons eligible for participation as Recipients in the RSU Plan. Eligibility to participate as a Recipient in the RSU Plan does not confer upon any person a right to receive an award of RSUs.

Subject to certain restrictions, the Board or its appointed committee, can, from time to time, award RSUs to Eligible Persons. RSUs will be credited to an account maintained for each Recipient on the books of the Company as of the award date. The number of RSUs to be credited to each Recipient’s account shall be determined at the discretion of the Board and pursuant to the terms of the RSU Plan.

RSUs and all other rights, benefits or interests in the RSU Plan are non-transferable and may not be pledged or assigned or encumbered in any way and are not subject to attachment or garnishment, except that if a Recipient dies the legal representatives of the Recipient will be entitled to receive the amount of any payment otherwise payable to the Recipient hereunder in accordance with the provisions hereof.

RSUs Granted Prior to Shareholder Approval of the RSU Plan

As of the date hereof, there are 3,052,500 RSUs outstanding under the RSU Plan.

Credit for Dividends

A Recipient's account will be credited with additional RSUs as of each dividend payment date in respect of which cash dividends are paid on Shares. The number of additional RSUs to be credited to a Recipient's account will be based on the actual amount of cash dividends that would have been paid to such Participant had he been holding such number of Shares equal to the number of RSUs credited to the Participant’s Account on the date on which cash dividends are paid on the Shares and the Market Price of the Shares on the payment date.

Resignation, Termination, Leave of Absence or Death

If a Recipient's employment or service is terminated for Cause (as defined in the RSU Plan), then all RSUs (whether vested or unvested) shall terminated automatically upon termination.

17

If the Recipient resigns from employment with the Company, then any RSUs credited to him or her under the RSU Plan which have not vested on or before the termination date are forfeited, cancelled and terminated without payment and the Recipient shall have up to 90 days to settle any vested RSUs.

In the event a Recipient is terminated without Cause or if the Recipient dies, all unvested RSUs will immediately vest on the date of termination or death and the Recipient will have up to 90 days to settle the RSUs.

Change of Control

In the event of a Change of Control (as defined in the RSU Plan), the Board may, in its discretion, without the necessity or requirement for the agreement or consent of any Participant: (i) accelerate, conditionally or otherwise, on such terms as it sees fit, the vesting date of any RSU; (ii) permit the conditional settlement of any RSU, on such terms as it sees fit; (iii) otherwise amend or modify the terms of the RSU, including for greater certainty permitting Participants to settle any RSU, to assist the Participants to tender the underlying Shares to, or participate in, the actual or potential Change of Control Event (as defined in the RSU Plan) or to obtain the advantage of holding the underlying Common Shares during such Change of Control Event; and (iv) terminate, following the successful completion of such Change of Control Event, on such terms as it sees fit, the RSUs not settled prior to the successful completion of such Change of Control Event, including, without limitation, for no payment or other compensation.

Adjustments

In the event of any dividend paid in Shares, Share subdivision, combination or exchange of Shares, merger, consolidation, spin-off or other distribution of Company assets to shareholders, or any other change in the capital of the Company affecting Shares, the Board will make adjustments with respect to the number of RSUs outstanding and any proportional adjustments as it, in its discretion, considers appropriate to reflect the change.

Vesting

The Board has discretion to grant RSUs to Eligible Persons as it determines appropriate, and can impose conditions on vesting as it sees fit in addition to other performance conditions, if any. Vesting occurs on the vesting date set by the Board at the time of the grant and the date upon which any relevant other performance condition or other vesting condition, if any, has been satisfied, subject to the limitations of the RSU Plan. The Board may accelerate the vesting date of any RSU, at its election.

Shareholder Approval of Adoption of the RSU Plan

Approval of the resolution to ratify, confirm and approve the RSU Plan (the “ RSU Plan Shareholder Resolution ”), must be confirmed by a simple majority of the votes cast by disinterested shareholders voting on the resolution in person or by proxy at the Meeting. The Board recommends that shareholders vote in favour of the RSU Plan Shareholder Resolution .

The Shares of all shareholders who would qualify as “Eligible Persons” pursuant to the RSU Plan must be withheld from the vote tally on the RSU Plan Shareholder Resolution.

At the Meeting, shareholders will be asked to consider and, if deemed advisable, to approve the following ordinary resolution to ratify, confirm and approve adoption of the RSU Plan:

“RESOLVED that:

  1. subject to all required regulatory approvals, including the approval of the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “ CSE ”), as necessary, and the required shareholder approvals, adoption by the Company of the Restricted Stock Unit Plan (the “ RSU Plan ”) be and is hereby ratified, confirmed and approved, and the RSU Plan be forthwith implemented by the Company effective as of the date of approval by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “ Board ”), with such further deletions, additions and other amendments as are required by any securities regulatory authority or which are not substantive in nature and the Chief Executive Officer of the Company deems necessary or desirable;

18

  1. the Board, or a committee to be determined by the Board, be and is hereby appointed to be the Administrator under the RSU Plan, such appointment to be effective until revoked by resolution of the Board;

  2. the Company be and is hereby authorized to grant restricted share units (“ RSUs ”) under and subject to the terms and conditions of the RSU Plan, which RSUs may be exercised to purchase up to, in aggregate, a rolling maximum of 10% of the issued and outstanding Shares of the Company, from time to time;

  3. the RSU Plan Administrator be and is hereby authorized and directed to execute on behalf of the Company, the form of Restricted Share Unit Grant Letter, the form of which is attached as Schedule “A” to the RSU Plan, providing for the grant of RSUs to Eligible Persons pursuant to the RSU Plan; and

  4. the Company be and is hereby authorized to allot and issue as fully paid and non-assessable that number of Shares specified in the Restricted Share Unit Grant Letter upon conversion of RSUs granted to Eligible Persons; AND THAT any two authorized persons of the Company be authorized to execute such treasury order or treasury orders as may be necessary to effect such Share issuance.”

The RSU Plan must be approved by a simple majority of the votes cast on the resolution at the Meeting by shareholders who vote in respect of the approval of the RSU Plan (present in person or represented by proxy), but removing from the vote tally all Shares held by Eligible Persons pursuant to the RSU Plan.

The Board unanimously recommends that the disinterested shareholders approve the RSU Plan by voting FOR this resolution at the Meeting.

A copy of the RSU Plan is attached as Schedule “B” to this Information Circular.

Proxies received in favour of management will be voted in favour of the Restricted Share Unit Plan, unless the shareholder has specified in the Proxy that his or her Shares are to be voted against such resolution.

Alteration of the By-Laws to Include Advance Notice Policy

(a) Introduction

On November 1, 2021, the Board approved and adopted an Advance Notice Policy (the “ Advance Notice Policy ”) with immediate effect. In accordance with the Advance Notice Policy, the Company must obtain approval of the shareholders at a meeting of shareholders. The Board of the Company is proposing that the By-Laws of the Company be altered to include an Advance Notice Policy, which will: (i) facilitate orderly and efficient annual general or, where the need arises, special, meetings; (ii) ensure that all shareholders receive adequate notice of the director nominations and sufficient information with respect to all nominees; and (iii) allow shareholders to register an informed vote. The full text of the proposed alteration of the By-Laws to include the Advance Notice Policy is set out in Schedule “D” to this Information Circular.

(b) Purpose of the Advance Notice Policy

The purpose of the Advance Notice Policy is to foster a variety of interests of the shareholders and the Company by ensuring that all shareholders - including those participating in a meeting by proxy rather than in person - receive adequate notice of the nominations to be considered at a meeting and can thereby exercise their voting rights in an informed manner. The Advance Notice Policy is the framework by which the Company seeks to fix a deadline by which holders of record of common shares of the Company must submit director nominations to the Company prior to any annual or special meeting of shareholders and sets forth the information that a shareholder must include in the notice to the Company for the notice to be in proper written form.

(c) Effect of the Advance Notice Policy

Subject only to the Act and the By-Laws, only persons who are nominated in accordance with the following procedures shall be eligible for election as directors of the Company. Nominations of persons for election to the Board may be made at any annual meeting of shareholders, or at any special meeting of shareholders if one of the purposes for which the special meeting was called was the election of directors: (a) by or at the direction of

19

the Board, including pursuant to a notice of meeting; (b) by or at the direction or request of one or more shareholders pursuant to a proposal made in accordance with the provisions of the Act, or a requisition of the shareholders made in accordance with the provisions of the Act; or (c) by any person (a “ Nominating Shareholder ”): (A) who, at the close of business on the date of the giving of the notice provided for below in the Advance Notice Policy and on the record date for notice of such meeting, is entered in the securities register as a holder of one or more shares carrying the right to vote at such meeting or who beneficially owns shares that are entitled to be voted at such meeting; and (B) who complies with the notice procedures set forth below in the Advance Notice Policy.

In addition to any other applicable requirements, for a nomination to be made by a Nominating Shareholder, the Nominating Shareholder must have given timely notice thereof in proper written form to the Corporate Secretary of the Company at the principal executive offices of the Company.

To be timely, a Nominating Shareholder’s notice to the Corporate Secretary of the Company must be made: (a) in the case of an annual meeting of shareholders, not less than 30 nor more than 65 days prior to the date of the annual meeting of shareholders; provided, however, that in the event that the annual meeting of shareholders is to be held on a date that is less than 40 days after the date (the “ Notice Date ”) on which the first public announcement of the date of the annual meeting was made, notice by the Nominating Shareholder may be made not later than the 10[th] (tenth) day following the Notice Date; and (b) in the case of a special meeting (which is not also an annual meeting) of shareholders called for the purpose of electing directors (whether or not called for other purposes), not later than the 15[th] (fifteenth) day following the day on which the first public announcement of the date of the special meeting of shareholders was made. In no event shall any adjournment or postponement of a meeting of shareholders or the announcement thereof commence a new time period for the giving of a Nominating Shareholder’s notice as described above.

  • (c) in the case of a termination of the Participant’s services by reason of voluntary resignation, only the Participant’s unvested RSUs shall terminate automatically as of such date, and any time during the ninety (90) day period commencing on the date of such termination of service (or, if earlier, the Termination Date), the Participant will be eligible to request that the Company settle his vested RSUs.
