This Information Circular (the "Circular") is provided in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the management of Sabio Holdings Inc. ("Sabio" or the "Company") for use at the annual general meeting of the shareholders of the Company ("Shareholders") to be held on June 5, 2025 (the "Meeting") at 1:00 p.m. (EDT), and any adjournment(s) thereof, for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Meeting.

In this Circular, "Common Shares" means common shares in the capital of the Company, "Restricted Voting Shares" means convertible restricted voting common shares in the capital of the Company and "Shares" means Common Shares and/or Restricted Voting Shares, as the context dictates. Each holder of Restricted Voting Shares is entitled to one vote per Restricted Voting Share, except the Restricted Voting Shares do not carry any entitlement for the holder to vote for the election of the directors. See "Voting Shares and Principal Holders Thereof" below.

All references to Shareholders in the Notice of Meeting, Circular and the accompanying Proxy are to registered Shareholders of the Company as set forth on the list of registered Shareholders maintained by the Registrar and Transfer agent for the Company, Computershare Investor Services Inc. ("Computershare") unless specifically stated otherwise.

"Beneficial Shareholders" means shareholders who do not hold Shares in their own name and "Intermediaries" refers to brokers, investment firms, clearing houses and similar entities that own securities on behalf of Beneficial Shareholders.

GENERAL PROXY INFORMATION

Notice-and-Access

We are sending this Circular to registered and Beneficial Shareholders using "notice-and-access" as defined under National Instrument 54-101 – Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer ("NI 54-101").

We are not using procedures known as "stratification" with its use of notice-and-access in relation to the Meeting. Stratification occurs when a reporting issuer using notice-and-access provides a paper copy of the relevant Circular to some, but not all, Shareholders with the notice package in relation to the relevant meeting.

We are furnishing proxy materials to our Shareholders via the Internet by mailing a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, instead of mailing or emailing copies of those materials. The Meeting materials will be available on the Company's website at (www.sabioholding.com/governance) and under the Company's profile on SEDAR+


sabio

TEXV\SBIO-OTCQB\SABOF

(www.sedarplus.ca). The Meeting materials will remain on the Company's website for one full year. Alternative means of delivery is more environmentally friendly as it will help reduce paper use and mitigate the Company's printing and mailing costs. The Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials directs Shareholders to a website where they can access our proxy materials, including the Circular, and view instructions on how to vote via the internet, mobile device, or by telephone. If you received a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials and would prefer to receive a paper copy of our proxy materials, please follow the instructions included in the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials. If you have previously elected to receive our proxy materials via e-mail, you will continue to receive access to those materials electronically unless you elect otherwise.

Shareholders who wish to receive more information about notice-and-access or to receive paper copies of the Circular or other proxy-related materials should contact Computershare at [email protected] or call Toll-Free at 1-800-564-6253 or the Company's Corporate Secretary by email at [email protected]. Requested materials will be sent to the requesting Shareholders at no cost to them within three business days of their request, if such requests are made before the Meeting or any postponement or adjournment thereof.

We encourage you to register to receive all future shareholder communications electronically, instead of in print. This means that access future annual meeting materials and other correspondence will be delivered to you via e-mail.

Solicitation of Proxies

The solicitation of proxies will be primarily by mail, but proxies may be solicited personally or by telephone by directors, officers and regular employees of the Company. The Company will bear all costs of this solicitation. The Company has arranged for intermediaries to forward the Meeting materials to beneficial owners of the Shares held of record by those intermediaries and we may reimburse the intermediaries for their reasonable fees and disbursements in that regard.

Appointment of Proxyholders

The individuals named in the accompanying form of proxy (the "Proxy") are officers and/or directors of the Company. If you are a Shareholder entitled to vote at the Meeting, you have the right to appoint a person or company other than the persons designated in the Proxy, who need not be a Shareholder, to attend and act for you and on your behalf at the Meeting. You may do so either by inserting the name of that other person in the blank space provided in the Proxy or by completing and delivering another suitable form of Proxy.

Voting by Proxyholder

The persons named in the Proxy will vote or withhold from voting the Shares represented thereby in accordance with your instructions on any ballot that may be called for. If you specify a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, your Shares will be voted accordingly. The Proxy confers discretionary authority on the persons named therein with respect to:

(a) each matter or group of matters identified therein for which a choice is not specified, other than the appointment of an auditor and the election of directors;

(b) any amendment to or variation of any matter identified therein; and

(c) any other matter that properly comes before the Meeting.


sabio

TEXV\SBIO-OTCQB\SABOF

In respect of a matter for which a choice is not specified in the Proxy, the management appointee acting as a proxyholder will vote in favour of each matter identified in the Proxy and, if applicable, for the nominees of management for directors and auditor as identified in the Proxy.

Registered Shareholders

Registered Shareholders may wish to vote by proxy whether or not they are able to attend the Meeting. Registered Shareholders who wish to submit a proxy may choose one of the following voting options:

(a) completing, dating and signing the enclosed form of proxy and returning it to the Company's transfer agent, Computershare, by fax within North America at 1-866-249-7775, or by mail to the Computershare Investor Services Inc., Proxy Department, 100 University Avenue, 8th Floor, Toronto, Ontario, M5J; or

(b) telephone or internet, as instructed in the enclosed Proxy, not later than 1:00PM (EDT) on June 3, 2025.

To be effective, proxies must be received by Computershare no later than Tuesday, June 3, 2025 at 1:00 p.m. (EDT), or in the case of any adjournment of the Meeting not later than 48 hours prior to the Meeting, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, or any adjournment thereof or to the Chairman of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof. Failure to complete or deposit a Proxy properly may result in its invalidation.

Beneficial Holders of Shares

The information set forth in this section is of significant importance to many Shareholders, as a substantial number of Shareholders do not hold Shares in their own name. Shareholders who hold their Shares through their brokers, intermediaries, trustees or other persons, or who otherwise do not hold their Shares in their own name (referred to herein as "Beneficial Shareholders" as previously defined) should note that only Proxies deposited by Shareholders who appear on the records maintained by the Company's registrar and transfer agent as registered holders of Shares will be recognized and acted upon at the Meeting. If Shares are listed in an account statement provided to a Beneficial Shareholder by a broker, then those Shares will, in all likelihood, not be registered in the Shareholder's name. Such Shares will more likely be registered under the name of the Shareholder's broker or an agent of that broker. In Canada, the vast majority of such shares are registered under the name of CDS & Co. (the registration name for CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc., which acts as nominee for many Canadian brokerage firms). In the United States, the vast majority of such common shares are registered under the name of Cede & Co. (the registration name for The Depository Trust Company, which acts as nominee for many United States brokerage firms). Shares held by brokers (or their agents or nominees) on behalf of a broker's client can only be voted or withheld at the direction of the Beneficial Shareholder. Without specific instructions, brokers and their agents and nominees are prohibited from voting shares for the broker's clients. Therefore, each Beneficial Shareholder should ensure that voting instructions are communicated to the appropriate person well in advance of the Meeting.

Existing regulatory policy requires brokers and other intermediaries to seek voting instructions from Beneficial Shareholders in advance of shareholder meetings. The various brokers and other intermediaries have their own mailing procedures and provide their own return instructions to clients, which should be carefully followed by Beneficial Shareholders in order to ensure that their Shares are voted at the Meeting. The form of instrument of Proxy supplied to a Beneficial Shareholder by its broker (or the agent of the broker) is substantially similar to the Proxy provided directly to registered Shareholders by the Company. However, its purpose is limited to instructing the registered Shareholder (i.e., the broker or agent of the broker) how to vote on behalf of the Beneficial Shareholder. The vast majority of brokers now delegate responsibility for obtaining instructions from clients to Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. ("Broadridge") in Canada and United States. Broadridge typically prepares a machine-readable voting instruction form ("VIF"), mails those forms to Beneficial Shareholders and asks Beneficial Shareholders to return the VIFs to Broadridge, or otherwise


sabio

TEXV\SBIO-OTCQB\SABOF

communicate voting instructions to Broadridge (by way of the internet or telephone, for example). 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 Beneficial Shareholder who receives a Broadridge VIF cannot use that form to vote Shares directly at the Meeting. The VIFs must be returned to Broadridge (or instructions respecting the voting of Shares must otherwise be communicated to Broadridge) well in advance of the Meeting in order to have the Shares voted. If you have any questions respecting the voting of Shares held through a broker or other intermediary, please contact that broker or other intermediary for assistance.

The Notice of Meeting, Circular, Proxy and VIF, as applicable, are being provided to both registered Shareholders and Beneficial Shareholders as described below. Beneficial Shareholders fall into two categories - those who object to their identity being known to the issuers of securities which they own ("OBOs") and those who do not object to their identity being made known to the issuers of the securities which they own ("NOBOs"). This year the Company will NOT be mailing the proxy-related materials directly to the NOBOs – as mailing to the NOBOS will be undertaken by Broadridge Financial Services Broadridge Financial Services. NI 54-101 permits an issuer to directly deliver proxy-related materials to its NOBOs. In that case, NOBOs would receive a VIF from our transfer agent, Computershare. If you are a Beneficial Shareholder and the Company or its agent has sent these materials directly to you, your name, address and information about your holdings of Shares have been obtained in accordance with applicable securities regulatory requirements from the intermediary holding the Shares on your behalf.

The Company has distributed copies of the Notice of Meeting, Circular and VIF to intermediaries for distribution to NOBOs. Unless you have waived your right to receive the Notice of Meeting, Circular and VIF, intermediaries are required to deliver them to you as a NOBO of the Company and to seek your instructions on how to vote your common shares.

The Company's OBOs can expect to be contacted by Broadridge or their brokers or their broker's agents. The Company does not intend to pay for intermediaries to deliver the Notice of Meeting, Circular and VIF to OBOs and, accordingly, if an OBO's intermediary does not assume the costs of delivery of those documents in the event that the OBO wishes to receive them, the OBO may not receive the documentation.

Although a Beneficial Shareholder may not be recognized directly at the Meeting for the purposes of voting Shares registered in the name of the applicable broker, a Beneficial Shareholder may attend the Meeting as proxyholder for the registered Shareholder and vote the Shares in that capacity. NI 54-101 allows a Beneficial Shareholder who is a NOBO to submit to the Company or an applicable intermediary any document in writing that requests that the NOBO or a nominee of the NOBO be appointed as proxyholder. If such a request is received, the Company or an intermediary, as applicable, must arrange, without expense to the NOBO, to appoint such NOBO or its nominee as a proxyholder and to deposit that Proxy within the time specified in this Circular, provided that the Company or the intermediary receives such written instructions from the NOBO at least one business day prior to the time by which proxies are to be submitted at the Meeting, with the result that such a written request must be received by 1:00 p.m. (EDT) on the day that is at least three business days prior to the Meeting or any postponement or adjournment thereof. A Beneficial Shareholder who wishes to attend the Meeting and to vote their Shares as proxyholder for the registered Shareholder, should enter their own name in the blank space on the VIF or such other document in writing that requests that the NOBO or a nominee of the NOBO be appointed as proxyholder and return the same to their broker (or the broker's agent) in accordance with the instructions provided by such broker.

Notice to Shareholders in the United States

This solicitation of proxies involves securities of an issuer located in Canada and is being effected in accordance with the corporate laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada and the securities laws of the provinces of Canada. The proxy


sabio

TEXV:SBIO-OTCQB:SABOF

solicitation rules under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, are not applicable to the Company or this solicitation, and this solicitation has been prepared in accordance with the disclosure requirements of the securities laws of the provinces of Canada. Shareholders should be aware that disclosure requirements under the securities laws of the provinces of Canada differ from the disclosure requirements under United States securities laws.

The enforcement by Shareholders of civil liabilities under United States federal securities laws may be affected adversely by the fact that the Company is governed by the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the "BCA"), as amended, certain of its directors and its executive officers are residents of Canada and a substantial portion of its assets and the assets of such persons are located outside the United States. Shareholders may not be able to sue a foreign company or its officers or directors in a foreign court for violations of United States federal securities laws. It may be difficult to compel a foreign company and its officers and directors to subject themselves to a judgment by a United States court.

Revocation of Proxy

In addition to revocation by any other manner permitted by law, a registered Shareholder who has given a Proxy may revoke it by:

(a) executing a Proxy bearing a later date or by executing a valid notice of revocation, either of the foregoing to be executed by the registered Shareholder or the registered Shareholder's authorized attorney in writing, or, if the Shareholder is a corporation, under its corporate seal by an officer or attorney duly authorized, and delivering the Proxy bearing a later date or the valid notice of revocation to Computershare at the time and place noted above or to the Chairman of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting or adjournment thereof; or

(b) attending the Meeting or any adjournment of the Meeting and registering with the scrutineer as a shareholder present in person.

CURRENCY

Unless otherwise noted, all amounts in this Circular are shown in United States dollars, which is the currency used to prepare the Company's financial statements.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2024, together with the auditor's report thereon and related Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A"), will be presented to Shareholders at the Meeting. These documents are available under the Company's profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON

Other than as disclosed elsewhere in this Circular, none of the directors or executive officers of the Company, no proposed nominee for election as a director of the Company, none of the persons who have been directors or executive officers of the Company since the commencement of the Company's last completed financial year and no associate or affiliate of any of the foregoing persons has any material interest, direct or indirect, by way of beneficial ownership of securities or otherwise, in any matter to be acted upon at the Meeting.

RE-APPROVAL OF OMNIBUS EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

Background & Purpose

On June 29, 2022, Shareholders approved the Company's previous omnibus equity incentive compensation plan (the "Previous Omnibus Plan"), which was adopted by the Board on April 30, 2022. On June 8, 2023, Shareholders re-approved the Previous Omnibus Plan. The Previous Omnibus Plan was amended, restated, superseded and replaced in its entirety by the existing omnibus equity incentive plan of the Company ("Omnibus Plan"), which was approved by the Board on May 10, 2024, and approved by Shareholders on June 20, 2024.

At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to consider, and if thought advisable, pass an ordinary resolution, re-approving the Omnibus Plan.

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 TSX Venture Exchange ("Exchange Policy 4.4"). The Omnibus Plan includes a "Sub-Plan for U.S. Participants" as more particularly set out in Article 11 of the Omnibus Plan ("U.S. Sub-Plan"), which provisions are only applicable to either U.S. residents or U.S. taxpayers ("U.S. Participants"). For greater certainty, the legacy share option plan (fixed) approved by the Shareholders at the Company's special meeting held on October 6, 2021 and ratified by the Board on October 12, 2021 (the "Legacy Plan") shall remain in full force and effect. A copy of the Omnibus Plan is filed under the Company's profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and on its website.

As of the Record Date, the Company had a total of 3,108,622 stock options ("Options") outstanding in aggregate under the Existing Omnibus Plan and the Legacy Plan. And as of the Record Date, the Company had a total of 440,844 restricted share units ("RSUs"), nil performance share units ("PSUs") and nil deferred share units ("DSUs") outstanding under the Existing Omnibus Plan.

Summary of the Omnibus Plan

The Omnibus Plan allows the Company to grant equity-based incentive awards in the form of Options, RSUs, PSUs, and DSUs, as described in further detail below. The purpose of the Omnibus Plan is to advance the interests of the Company and its subsidiaries by providing an incentive to eligible persons to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company, to continue their participation in the affairs of the Company, to recognize contributions made by such persons and to create an incentive to increase their efforts on behalf of the Company.

The Omnibus Plan is a: (a) "rolling" plan pursuant to which the aggregate number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of all Options granted under the Omnibus Plan (including, for greater certainty, the U.S. Sub-Plan) and Shares reserved for issuance pursuant to the exercise of options granted under any other share compensation arrangement (including, but not limited to, the Legacy Plan) granted or made available by the Company from time to time may not exceed in aggregate 10% of the Outstanding Shares at the time of any option grant; and a (b) "fixed" plan pursuant to which the maximum number of RSUs, DSUs and PSUs (other than Options) that may be issued under the Omnibus Plan in aggregate is a maximum of 10% of the issued and outstanding Shares of the Company ("Outstanding Shares") as at the effective date of the implementation of the Existing Omnibus Plan, that is 4,550,993 Shares ("Award Cap"). The Company is not proposing any changes to the Award Cap at the Meeting.

Shareholders will be asked at the Meeting to pass an ordinary resolution approving the Omnibus Plan in accordance with the Exchange Policy 4.4.

TEXV\SBIO-OTCQB\SABOF

The following is a summary of the principal terms of and recommended amendments to, the Omnibus Plan, which is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Omnibus Plan.

Purpose

The purpose of the Omnibus Plan, which, for greater certainty, includes the U.S. Sub-Plan, is to provide an incentive to eligible persons to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company, to continue their participation in the affairs of the Company, to recognize contributions made by such persons and to create an incentive to increase their efforts on behalf of the Company. It is the intention of the Company that the Omnibus Plan will at all times be in compliance with the Exchange Policy 4.4 and any inconsistencies between the Omnibus Plan and the Exchange Policy 4.4 will be resolved in favour of the latter.

Types of Awards

In addition to the granting of Options, the Omnibus Plan provides for the grant of RSUs, DSUs, PSUs or Share-based awards (each an "Award" and collectively, the "Awards"). All Awards are granted by either (i) a written agreement entered into by the Company and a Service Provider (as defined in the Omnibus Plan) that is the recipient of an Award granted or issued by the Company ("Participant") setting forth the terms and provisions applicable to Awards granted under the Omnibus Plan; or (ii) a written statement issued by the Company to a Participant describing the terms and provisions of applicable to Awards granted under this Plan (an "Award Agreement"). Each Award Agreement will specify whether the Awards thereunder shall be settled in Common Shares, Restricted Voting Shares, or a combination of both.

Plan Administration

The Omnibus Plan is administered by the Board, which may delegate its authority to a duly authorized committee of the Board appointed by the Board to administer the Omnibus Plan. Subject to the terms of the Omnibus Plan, applicable law and the rules of the Exchange, the Board (or its delegate) has the power and authority, including but not limited, to:

(a) interpret and administer the Omnibus Plan;

(b) establish, amend and rescind any rules and regulations relating to the Omnibus Plan; and

(c) make any other determinations that the Board deems necessary or appropriate for the administration of the Omnibus Plan.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Board has the power to:

(a) grant Awards and allot Shares for issuance in connection with the exercise of the Awards;

(b) select Award recipients and establish all Award terms and conditions, including grant, exercise price, issue price and vesting terms and approve the terms of any Award Agreement;

(c) approve the pre-vesting or waive the requirement of vesting with respect to any Award, subject to the Award Agreement and Exchange Policy 4.4;

(d) determine performance goals applicable to Awards and whether such performance goals have been achieved;


sabio

TEXV\SBIO-OTCQB\SABOF

(e) make determinations as to whether a Change of Control (as defined below) has occurred;
(f) subject to provisions of the Omnibus Plan and any necessary regulatory approval and requirements of the policies of the Exchange, amend, suspend, terminate or discontinue the Omnibus Plan; and
(g) delegate all or such portion of its powers to a committee of the Board.

Shares Available for Awards

Subject to adjustments as provided for under the Omnibus Plan, the maximum number of Outstanding Shares of the Company issuable pursuant to the exercise of Options available for issuance under the Omnibus Plan (including, for greater certainty, the U.S. Sub-Plan) and Shares reserved for issuance pursuant to the exercise of Options granted under any other share compensation arrangement of the Company (including, but not limited to, the Legacy Plan) from time to time shall not exceed 10% of the issued Outstanding Shares of the Company as at the date of any Option grant and provided further that the maximum number of RSUs, DSUs, PSUs and other share-based awards (other than Options) that may be issued under the Omnibus Plan shall be fixed at the Award Cap, that is, a maximum of 10% of the Outstanding Shares of the Company as at the effective date of implementation of the Omnibus Plan.

The Omnibus Plan is considered a "fixed" plan because of Award Cap. But the Omnibus Plan is also considered to be a "rolling" plan as Shares of the Company covered by Options (but not other Awards) which have been exercised or settled, as applicable, will be available for subsequent grant under the Omnibus Plan and the number of Options (but not other Awards) that may be granted under the Omnibus Plan increases if the total number of issued and outstanding Shares of the Company increases.

Unless the Company has obtained Disinterested Shareholder Approval (as defined in the Omnibus Plan), the number of Shares of the Company issuable to insiders of the Company (as a group) (the "Insiders"), at any time, under all security-based compensation arrangements of the Company may not exceed 10% of the Company's Outstanding Shares. The number of Shares of the Company issued to Insiders (as a group) within any 12-month period, under all security-based compensation arrangements of the Company may not exceed 10% of the Company's issued and outstanding Shares.

Eligible Persons

Any bona fide director, officer, employee, management company employee, consultant or consultant company (each a "Service Provider"), and a company, 100% of the share capital of which is beneficially owned by one or more Service Providers shall be eligible to be selected to receive an Award under the Omnibus Plan (the "Eligible Persons").

Limits for Individuals

Unless the Company has obtained the requisite Disinterested Shareholder Approval pursuant to the Exchange Policy 4.4, the maximum aggregate number of Shares that are issuable pursuant to all security based compensation granted or issued in any 12 month period to any one person must not exceed 5% of the Outstanding Shares, calculated as at the date any security based compensation is granted or issued to the person, except as expressly permitted and accepted by the Exchange for filing under Part 6 of the Exchange Policy 4.4 shall not be included in calculating this 5% limit.

TEXV\SBIO-OTCQB\SABOF

Limits for Consultants

The maximum aggregate number of Shares of the Company that are issuable pursuant to all security based compensation granted or issued in any 12 month period to any one Consultant must not exceed 2% of the outstanding shares of the Company, calculated as at the date any Security Based Compensation is granted or issued to the Consultant, except that securities that are expressly permitted and accepted for filing under Part 6 of the Exchange Policy shall not be included in calculating this 2% limit.

Limits for Service Providers conducting Investor Relations Activities

Service Providers conducting Investor Relations Activities (as defined in the Omnibus Plan) may not receive any Award other than Options. The maximum aggregate number of Shares that are issuable pursuant to all Options granted in any 12-month period to all Service Providers conducting Investor Relations Activities, in aggregate shall not exceed 2% of the Outstanding Shares of the Company, calculated as at the date any option is granted to any such Service Provider conducting Investor Relations Activities. Options granted to Service Providers conducting Investor Relations Activities will vest:

(a) over a period of not less than 12 months such that:

(i) no more than 1/4 of the Options vest no sooner than three months after the Options were granted;

(ii) no more than another 1/4 of the Options vest no sooner than six months after the Options were granted;

(iii) no more than another 1/4 of the options vest no sooner than nine months after the Options were granted; and

(iv) the remainder of the Options vest no sooner than 12 months after the Options were granted.

(b) such longer vesting period as the Board may determine.

Blackout Period

In the event that the expiry date, redemption date or settlement date of any Award, other than an Incentive Stock Option, as defined in the Omnibus Plan fall within a Blackout Period (as defined in the Omnibus Plan) or within nine (9) business days following the expiration of a Blackout Period, such expiry date, redemption date or settlement date shall, subject to approval of the Exchange and, to the extent applicable, compliance with Section 409A of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"), be automatically extended without any further act or formality to that day which is the tenth (10th) business day after the end of the Blackout Period, such tenth business day to be considered the expiry date, redemption date or settlement date for such Award for all purposes under this Omnibus Plan.

Vesting

Vesting of Options shall be at the discretion of the Board and, with respect to any particular Options granted under the Omnibus Plan, in the absence of a vesting schedule being specified at the time of grant, all such options shall vest immediately. All Award, other than an Option, may not vest earlier than one year after the date of grant of the Award except that the Board may in its sole discretion accelerate the vesting for a Participant who dies or who ceases to be an eligible Participant under the Omnibus Plan or in connection with a Change of Control (as described below).

Description of Awards and Effect of Termination on Awards

Options

An Option entitles a holder thereof to purchase a prescribed number of Common Shares or Restricted Voting Shares at an exercise price set at the time of the grant. Subject to the provisions of the Omnibus Plan, the Board or its delegate, will be permitted to grant Options under the Omnibus Plan. Options vest over a period of time as established by the Board from time to time. The term of each option will be fixed by the Board or its delegate, but may not exceed 10 years from the date of grant subject to extension where the expiry date falls within a Blackout Period. The option price for each grant of an option under the Omnibus Plan shall be determined by the Board and shall be specified in the Award Agreement. The Exercise Price of an Option shall also be determined by the Board at the time such option is allocated under the Omnibus Plan, and cannot be less than the Discounted Market Price (as defined in the policies of the Exchange), provided that, if the Company does not issue a news release to announce the grant and the exercise price of an Option, the Discounted Market Price is the last closing price of the Common Shares before the date of grant of the Option less the applicable discount. A minimum exercise price cannot be established unless the Options are allocated to particular persons.

Options granted pursuant to the Omnibus Plan shall be exercisable at such times and on the occurrence of such events, and be subject to such restrictions and conditions, as the Board shall in each instance approve, which need not be the same for each grant or for each participant. Without limiting the foregoing, the Board may, in its sole discretion, permit the exercise of an Option into Common Shares (but not Restricted Voting Shares) through either:

(a) a cashless exercise (a “Cashless Exercise”) mechanism in accordance with Exchange Policy 4.4; or
(b) a net exercise (a "Net Exercise") mechanism, whereby options, excluding options held by any Investor Relations Service Provider, are exercised without the participant making any cash payment so the Company does not receive any cash from the exercise of the subject options, and instead the participant receives only the number of underlying Common Shares that is the equal to the quotient obtained by dividing:

(i) the product of the number of Options being exercised multiplied by the difference between the VWAP (as defined below) of the underlying Common Shares and the exercise price of the subject Options;
(ii) the VWAP of the underlying Common Shares.

where, "VWAP" means the volume weighted average trading price of the Company's Common Shares on the Exchange calculated by dividing the total value by the total volume of such securities traded for the five trading days immediately preceding the exercise of the subject option, provided that where appropriate, the Exchange may exclude internal crosses and certain other special terms trades from the calculation.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a U.S. Participant, the number of Common Shares delivered to the participant in connection with a Net Exercise will in no event be greater than the number of Common Shares that is equal to the quotient obtained by dividing:

(i) the product of the number of options being exercised multiplied by the difference between the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Omnibus Plan) of a Common Share as of the exercise date and the exercise price of the subject options; by


sabio

TEXV:SBIO-OTCQB:SABOF

(ii) the Fair Market Value of a Common Share as of the exercise date.

Restricted Share Units

Subject to the provisions of the Omnibus Plan, the Board or its delegate will be permitted to grant RSUs under the Plan. An RSU is an award denominated in units that does not vest until after a specified period of time or is subject to the achievement of performance criteria, and/or upon the occurrence of other events as determined by the Board, in its discretion and which may be forfeited if conditions to vesting are not met, and provides the holder thereof with a right to receive Common Shares, Restricted Voting Shares or cash amount upon settlement of the Award, subject to any such restrictions that the Board may impose.

Each RSU grant shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify the period(s) of restriction, the number of RSUs granted, the settlement date for RSUs, whether the RSUs will be settled in Common Shares or Restricted Voting Shares, and any such other provisions as the Board shall determine, provided that, no RSUs shall vest (i) earlier than one year, or (ii) later than three years, after the date of grant, except that the Board may in its sole discretion accelerate the vesting for a Participant who dies or who ceases to be an eligible Participant under the Omnibus Plan in connection with a Change of Control (as described below). The vesting RSUs shall be subject to satisfaction of performance goals or other vesting conditions set out in the Award Agreement.

Deferred Share Units

Subject to the provisions of the Omnibus Plan, the Board will be permitted to grant DSUs to Participants under the Omnibus Plan. A DSU is an award denominated in units that provides the holder thereof with a right to receive Common Shares or Restricted Voting Shares upon settlement of the Award, subject to any such restrictions that the Board may impose. No DSU shall vest earlier than one year after the date of grant, except that the Board may in its sole discretion accelerate the vesting for a Participant who dies or who ceases to be an eligible Participant under the Plan in connection with a Change of Control.

Performance Units

Subject to the provisions of the Omnibus Plan, the Board may grant performance-based Awards in the form of PSUs under the Omnibus Plan that are subject to specified performance criteria. Performance-based Awards are based on the attainment of certain target levels of, or a specified increase or decrease (as applicable) in one or more performance goals. A PSU is an award denominated in units the value of which at the time it is payable is determined as a function of the extent to which corresponding performance criteria have been achieved and provides the holder thereof with a right to receive Common Shares or Restricted Voting Shares upon settlement of the Award, subject to any such restrictions that the Board may impose.

The Board, in its discretion, may award dividend equivalents with respect to New Security Based Compensation (as defined in the Omnibus Plan). Such dividend equivalent entitlements may be subject to accrual, forfeiture or payout restrictions as determined by the Board or its delegate in their sole discretion.

If the holder of New Security Based Compensation ceases to be an eligible participant for any reason, other than death, any New Security Based Compensation held by the Participant that have vested before the termination date will be paid to the Participant, provided that all unvested New Security Based Compensation will be immediately cancelled and forfeited to the Company on the termination date. The eligibility of a participant to receive further grants under the Omnibus Plan ceases as of the date that the Company or any of its subsidiary provides the Participant with

19


sabio

TEXV\SBIO-OTCQB\SABOF

written notification that the Participant's employment or term of office or engagement, is terminated, notwithstanding that such date may be prior to the termination date.

Change in Control

In the event that the Company undertakes a Change of Control (as described in the Omnibus Plan) or other corporate transaction (e.g., stock sale, merger, sale of all or substantially all assets or other similar transaction) (each a "Corporate Transaction"):

(a) subject to applicable laws, the Board may provide that any escrow, holdback, earn-out or similar provisions in the Corporate Transaction may apply to any payment made in respect of an Award to the same extent and in the same manner as such provisions apply to the Company's shareholders; and

(b) subject to applicable laws, all Awards outstanding on the effective date of the Corporate Transaction shall be treated in the manner described in the definitive agreement with respect to the Corporate Transaction. The treatment specified in the definitive agreement or determined by the Board may include (without limitation) one or more of the following with respect to each outstanding Award:

(i) continuation of the Award by the Company (if the Company is the surviving entity);

(ii) assumption of the Award by the surviving entity or its parent in a manner that complies with Sections 409A and 424(a) of the Code (as applicable);

(iii) substitution by the surviving entity or its parent of a new award for the Award in a manner that complies with Sections 409A and 424(a) of the Code (as applicable);

(iv) cancellation of the Award and a payment to the Participant with respect to each Share subject to the portion of the Award that is vested as of the transaction date (after taking into account any acceleration of vesting that may apply or be provided by the Board) equal to the excess of (A) the value, as determined by the Board in its reasonable discretion, of the property (including cash) received by the holder of a Share as a result of the transaction, over (B) the exercise price of the Award (such excess, the "Spread") in the form described in the agreement;

(v) cancellation of the Award without the payment of any consideration, provided that the Participant shall be notified of such treatment and given an opportunity to exercise the Award in the manner prescribed in the Omnibus Plan;

(vi) suspension of the Participant's right to exercise the Award during a limited period of time preceding the closing of the transaction if such suspension is administratively necessary to permit the closing of the transaction; and

(vii) termination of any right a Participant has to exercise the Award prior to the vesting in the Shares subject to the Award (i.e., "early exercise"), such that following the closing of the transaction the Award may only be exercised to the extent it is vested.

The Company, from time to time, may substitute or assume outstanding awards granted by another entity, whether in connection with an acquisition of such other entity or otherwise, by either: (i) granting an Award under the Omnibus Plan (including, as applicable, the U.S. Sub-Plan) in substitution of such other entity's award; or (ii) assuming and/or converting such award as if it had been granted under the Omnibus Plan (including, as applicable, the U.S. Sub-Plan) if


sabio

TEXV:SBIO-OTCQB:SABOF

the terms of such assumed award could be applied to an Award granted under the Omnibus Plan (including, as applicable, the U.S. Sub-Plan).

Assignability

Except as may be permitted by the Board no Award or other benefit payable under the Omnibus Plan shall, except as otherwise specifically provided by law be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise alienated or hypothecated.

Amendment

The Board reserves the right, in its absolute discretion, to at any time amend, modify or terminate the Omnibus Plan with respect to all Shares in respect of Awards that have not yet been granted hereunder. Any amendment to any provision of the Omnibus Plan will be subject to any necessary regulatory approvals unless the effect of such amendment is intended to reduce (but not to increase) the benefits of the Omnibus Plan to the Service Providers.

The Company will be required to obtain Disinterested Shareholder Approval prior to any of the following actions becoming effective:

(a) if the Omnibus Plan, together with all of the Company's other previous share compensation arrangements and grants or issuances of security-based compensation, could result at any time in:

(i) the aggregate number of Shares that are issuable pursuant all security-based compensation granted or issued to Insiders (as a group) exceeding 10% of the Outstanding Shares of the Company at any point in time;

(ii) the aggregate number of Shares of the Company that are issuable pursuant to all security-based compensation granted or issued in any 12-month period to Insiders (as a group) exceeding 10% of the Outstanding Shares of the Company, calculated as at the date any security-based compensation is granted or issued to any Insider; or

(iii) the aggregate number of Shares of the Company that are issuable pursuant to all security-based compensation granted or issued in any 12-month period to any one person (and where permitted under the Exchange Policy 4.4, any companies that are wholly owned by that person) exceeding 5% of the Outstanding Shares, calculated as at the date any security-based compensation is granted or issued to the person; or

(b) any reduction in the exercise price of an Option previously granted to an Insider; or

(c) the extension to the term of an outstanding Option held by an Insider; or

(d) any amendment that results in a benefit to an Insider, and for further clarity, cancellation of security-based compensation and within one year granting or issuing new security-based compensation to the same person is considered an amendment.

U.S. Sub-Plan

The U.S. Sub-Plan applies to the grant of Options to Service Providers who are either U.S. residents or U.S. taxpayers, and is designed to facilitate compliance with U.S. tax, securities and other applicable laws, and to permit the Company to issue tax-qualified incentive stock options to eligible U.S. Participants.

The U.S. Sub-Plan includes the following provisions, which summary is, for greater certainty, subject to the specific provisions of the Omnibus Plan:

  1. Contradiction with Other Provisions: In any case of an irreconcilable contradiction (as determined by the Board) between the provisions of the U.S. Sub-Plan and the other provisions of the Omnibus Plan, the provisions of the U.S. Sub-Plan will govern and supersede any such contradiction unless explicitly provided otherwise in the U.S. Sub-Plan.

  2. Eligible Participants: Incentive stock options may be granted only to Service Providers who are employees of the Company or a subsidiary in accordance with the Code. Non-statutory stock options may be granted to any Service Provider, provided that Service Providers who are U.S. Participants and render services as U.S. consultants or independent contractors (as classified under applicable U.S. law) shall be natural persons and otherwise meet the requirements of Rule 701 of the U.S. Securities Act.

  3. Exercise Price: Subject to the Omnibus Plan, the exercise price of each Option granted to a U.S. Participant will be not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the fair market value of the Shares subject to the Option on the date the Option is granted (based on the fair market value of the Common Shares).

  4. Vesting: An Option may, at the Board’s discretion, include a provision whereby the U.S. Participant may elect at any time before the U.S. Participant has left his/her/their employ/office or has been advised by the Company that his/her/their services are no longer required or his/her/their service contract has expired to exercise the Option as to any part or all of the Shares subject to the Option prior to the full vesting of the Option. Any unvested Shares so purchased may be subject to a repurchase right in favor of the Company or to any other restriction the Board determines to be appropriate, subject to the Omnibus Plan.

  5. Maximum Term: Options granted to U.S. Participants shall vest in accordance with the terms of the Option provided in the applicable Award Agreement, and shall have a term and may be exercised following termination in accordance with the Omnibus Plan, provided that in no event may any Option be exercised later than the tenth (10th) anniversary of the relevant grant date.

  6. Repurchase Right: The terms of any repurchase right in favor of the Company will be specified in the applicable Award Agreement and shall be subject in all respects to the Exchange Policy 4.4. The repurchase price for vested Shares will be the fair market value of the Common Shares on the date of repurchase. The repurchase price for unvested Shares will be the lower of: (a) the fair market value of the Common Shares on the date of repurchase; and (b) the exercise price paid by the U.S. Participant for such Shares.

  7. Transferability: Subject to the Omnibus Plan and compliance with the Exchange Policy 4.4, prior to exercise, Options and Shares issuable upon exercise of such Options, may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution. However, subject to compliance with the Exchange Policy 4.4, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Board may in its sole discretion grant non-statutory stock options that may be transferred by instrument to an inter vivos or testamentary trust in which the Options are to be passed to beneficiaries upon the death of the trustor (settlor) or by gift to family members.

  1. Additional Board Administration Authority.

A person who owns (or is deemed to own pursuant to Section 424(d) of the Code) stock possessing more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any subsidiary, will not be granted an incentive stock option unless the exercise price of such Option is at least one hundred ten percent (110%) of the fair market value on the grant date and the Option is not exercisable after the expiration of five (5) years from the grant date.

  3. No Transfer. As provided by Section 422(b)(5) of the Code, and if permitted by the Omnibus Plan, an incentive stock option will not be transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and will be exercisable during the lifetime of the U.S. Participant only by the U.S. Participant or the U.S. Participant's guardian or legal representative. If permitted by the Exchange Policy 4.4, and the Board elects to allow the transfer of an Option by a U.S. Participant that is designated as an incentive stock option, such transferred Option will automatically become a non-statutory stock option.

  4. U.S. $100,000 Limit. As provided by Section 422(d) of the Code and applicable regulations, to the extent that the aggregate fair market value of Shares with respect to which incentive stock options are exercisable for the first time by any U.S. Participant during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and any subsidiary) exceeds US$100,000 (or such other limit established in the Code) or otherwise does not comply with the rules governing incentive stock options, the Options or portions thereof that exceed such limit (according to the order in which they were granted) or otherwise do not comply with such rules will be treated as non-statutory stock options, notwithstanding any contrary provision of the applicable Option.

  5. Post-Termination Exercise Period. The U.S. Internal Revenue Code requires that at all times beginning on the grant date and ending on the day three (3) months before the date of exercise of the Option, the U.S. Participant must be an employee of the Company or a subsidiary (except in the event of the U.S. Participant's death or disability, in which case longer periods apply).

  6. Disqualifying Disposition. If a U.S. Participant disposes of Shares acquired upon exercise of an incentive stock option within two years from the grant date or one year after such Shares were acquired pursuant to exercise of such Option, the U.S. Participant shall notify the Company in writing of such disposition.

Terms Applicable to California Participants

A U.S. Participant located in California shall receive non-statutory stock options and incentive stock options that comply with certain provisions, including the following, which summary is, for greater certainty, subject to the specific provisions of the Omnibus Plan:

  1. Securities Law Compliance. A person shall not be eligible for the grant of a security if, at the time of grant, either the offer or the sale of the Company's securities to such person is not exempt under Rule 701 of the U.S. Securities Act because of the nature of the services that the person is providing to the Company and/or any affiliate, or because such person is not a natural person, or as otherwise provided by Rule 701, unless the Company determines that such grant need not comply with the requirements of Rule 701 and will satisfy another exemption under the U.S. Securities Act, as well as comply with the securities laws of all other relevant jurisdictions.

  2. Termination of Employment. In the event a California Participant's employment or service with the Company or a subsidiary terminates (other than upon the California Participant's death or disability), the California Participant shall have at least 30 days after termination of employment to exercise the California Participant's Option (to the extent that the California Participant was entitled to exercise such Option as of the date of termination), or, if earlier, until the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in the applicable agreement. If, after termination, the California Participant does not exercise the California Participant's Option within the time specified in the applicable agreement, the Option shall terminate.

  3. Disability of Participant. In the event that a California Participant's employment or service with the Company or a subsidiary terminates as a result of the California Participant's disability, the California Participant shall have at least six months to exercise the Participant's Option (to the extent that the California Participant was entitled to exercise such Option as of the date of termination), or, if earlier, until the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in the applicable agreement. If, after termination, the California Participant does not exercise the California Participant's Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate.

  4. Death of Participant. In the event: (i) a California Participant's employment or service with the Company or a subsidiary terminates as a result of the California Participant's death; or (ii) the California Participant dies within the post-termination exercise period (if any) specified in the Option after the termination of the California Participant's employment for a reason other than death, then the Option shall be exercisable (to the extent the California Participant was entitled to exercise such Option as of the date of death) by the California Participant's estate, by a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance or by a person designated to exercise the Option upon the California Participant's death for at least six (6) months following the date of death or, if earlier, until the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the applicable agreement. If, after death, the Option is not exercised within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate.

  5. Expiration Date. Notwithstanding anything stated herein to the contrary, no Option shall be exercisable on or after the 10th anniversary of the grant date.

  6. Adjustments. In the event of a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination, reclassification or other distribution of the Shares without the receipt of consideration by the Company, the number of Shares covered by, and the exercise price of, each Option will, without further action of the Company, by proportionally adjusted to reflect such event, and the Company shall make such other adjustments as may be required by Section 25102(o) of the California Corporations Code.

  7. Information. The Company shall furnish certain summary financial information of the Company's financial condition and results of operations, consistent with the requirements of applicable laws, at least annually to each California Participant during the period such California Participant has one or more Options outstanding, and in the case of an individual who acquired Shares pursuant to the Plan, during the period such California Participant owns such Shares, subject to the Omnibus Plan.

Approval

The Omnibus Plan is considered a "rolling up to 10% and fixed up to 10%" Plan as defined in the Exchange Policy 4.4. In accordance with the Exchange Policy 4.4, the Exchange requires the Company to obtain the approval of its Shareholders with respect to the Omnibus Plan on an annual basis. The Company is not proposing an increase in the number allowable to be granted under the fixed portion of the Omnibus Plan.

The Board believes it to be in the best interests of the Company to re-approve the Omnibus Plan and thereby recommends Shareholders of the Company to re-approve the Omnibus Plan. At the Meeting, Shareholders of the Company will be asked to approve, the resolution, with or without variation, with respect to the approval of the Omnibus Plan as provided under "Particulars of Matters to be Acted Upon - Approval of the Omnibus Plan" on page 37 below.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE DISCLOSURE

The following description of the corporate governance practices of the Company is provided further to National Instrument 58-101 on "Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices" ("NI 58-101") and the disclosure prescribed for "Venture Issuers" such as the Company.

Board of Directors

The Board currently consists of six (6) directors, namely Aziz Rahimtoola, Paula Madison, Carl Farrell, Muizz Kheraj, Gonzalo Del Fa, and Matt Hull. NI 58-101 suggest that the board of directors of every reporting issuer should be constituted with a majority of individuals who qualify as "independent" directors under NI 52-110 – Audit Committees ("NI 52-110"), which provides that a director is independent if he or she has no direct or indirect "material relationship" with the Company. The "material relationship" is defined as a relationship that could, in the view of the Board, reasonably interfere with the exercise of a director's independent judgement. Aziz Rahimtoola is not considered independent by the Board as he is an executive officer of the Company. The balance of directors are considered independent and facilitate the Board's independent supervision over management. However, management of the Company and the Board believe that all of the non-independent directors of the Company have significant experience with the operations and business of the Company due to their long-standing relationships with the business and within the industry in which the Company operates. With the recommendation of the Chairman and the advice of legal counsel, the Board will evaluate situations on a case-by-case basis to determine whether the exercise of independent judgement is appropriate or necessary under the circumstances. If deemed necessary or appropriate by the Board, the Board may appoint such special committees comprised of independent directors to consider any particular matter or transaction.

Directorships

None of the existing directors of the Company are presently directors of other reporting issuers in Canada or elsewhere.

Orientation and Continuing Education

When new directors are appointed, they receive orientation, commensurate with their previous experience, on the Company's assets, business, technology and industry.

Board meetings may also include presentations by the Company's management and employees to give the directors additional insight into the Company's business.


sabio

TEXV:SBIO-OTCQB:SABOF

Ethical Business Conduct

The Board has adopted a formal written code of ethics. The Board expects that fiduciary duties placed on individual directors by the Company's governing corporate legislation and the common law, as well as provisions under corporate legislation for required disclosures by directors and senior officers to the Company of transactions with the Company in which they may have an interest and of any other conflicts of duties and interests, along with compliance with the code of ethics are sufficient to ensure that these persons conduct themselves in the best interests of the Company.

Nomination of Directors

The Board of Directors has formally appointed a Governance, Nominating and Compensation Committee ("GNC Committee"). The GNC Committee reviews the skills and competencies of the Board on an annual basis to ensure the appropriateness and suitability for continued oversight of and contribution to the Company. The GNC Committee is guided by the GNC Committee Charter, a copy of which is available on the Company's website.

Compensation

The GNC Committee periodically reviews the adequacy and form of compensation of the directors and officers of the Company to ensure that the compensation realistically reflects the responsibilities and risks involved in being an effective director or officer. Compensation arrangements between the Company and any director or officer of the Company or between any subsidiary of the Company and any director or officer of the Company are first reviewed and recommended by the GNC Committee and ultimately approved by the Board.

Other Board Committees

The Board has no standing committees other than the Audit Committee and the GNC Committee.

Assessments

The Board reviews its own performance and effectiveness as well as the effectiveness and performance of any committees. The contributions of individual directors are informally monitored by other Board members, bearing in mind the business strengths of the individual and the purpose of originally nominating the individual to the Board.

The Board monitors the adequacy of information given to directors, communication between the Board and Management and the strategic direction and processes of the Board and its committee(s).

The Board believes its corporate governance practices are appropriate and effective for the Company, given its size and operations. The Company's corporate governance practices allow the Company to operate efficiently, with checks and balances that control and monitor Management and corporate functions without excessive administration burden.

Board Diversity

The Company does not currently have a written policy relating to the identification and nomination of women, Aboriginal peoples, persons with disabilities or members of visible minorities, being the "Designated Groups," as defined under the Employment Equity Act (Canada) as directors. Historically, the Company has not felt that such a policy was

26


sabio

TEXV\SBIO-OTCQB\SABOF

needed; however it may consider adopting such a policy in the future. The Company does include a statement in its Board Mandate that the Board will consider diversity in the selection criteria of new Board members.

When the Board selects candidates for executive or senior management positions or for director positions, it considers not only the qualifications, business background and experience of the candidates, it also considers the composition of the group of nominees, to best bring together a selection of candidates allowing the Company's management or Board, as the case may be to perform efficiently and act in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders. The Company is aware of the benefits of diversity at the executive and senior management levels and on the Board, and therefore the level of representation of women, Aboriginal peoples, persons with disabilities and members of visible minorities is one factor taken into consideration during the search process for executive and senior management positions or for directors.

The Company has not adopted a "target" number or percentage regarding women, Aboriginal peoples, persons with disabilities or members of visible minorities on the Board or in executive or senior management positions. In addition to diversity considerations, the Company considers candidates based on their qualifications, business background and experience, and does not feel that targets necessarily result in the identification or selection of the best candidates.

There are at present no women, Aboriginal peoples, persons with disabilities or members of visible minorities on the Board or as executive officers or directors of the Company, other than Helen Lum, Kendra Low and Paula Madison, who are women acting as the Company's EVP App Science, Corporate Secretary, and independent director, respectively.

AUDIT COMMITTEE DISCLOSURE

Pursuant to the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) and National Instrument 52-110 on "Audit Committees" ("NI 52-110"), the Company is required to have an audit committee.

Audit Committee Charter

Pursuant to NI 52-110, the Company's Audit Committee is required to have a charter. A copy of the Company's Audit Committee Charter is set out in Appendix "A" and is available under the Company's SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca.

Composition of the Audit Committee

NI 52-110 provides that a member of an audit committee is "independent" if the member has no direct or indirect material relationship with the Company, which could, in the view of the Board, reasonably interfere with the exercise of the member's independent judgment. As a venture issuer, a majority of the members of the audit committee of the Company must not be executive officers, employees or control persons of the Company or an affiliate of the Company.

NI 52-110 provides that an individual is "financially literate" if he or she has the ability to read and understand a set of financial statements that present a breadth and level of complexity of accounting issues that are generally comparable to the breadth and complexity of the issues that can reasonably be expected to be raised by the Company's financial statements. All of the members of the Company's audit committee are financially literate as that term is defined. The following sets out the members of the audit committee and their education and experience that is relevant to the performance of his or her responsibilities as an audit committee member.

Bonus Compensation Plan – Executive Officers

In 2022, the Company implemented a bonus compensation program for its officers tied to the attainment of corporate objectives and personal objectives. Objectives are set annually for each executive officer of the Company, and approved by the Board. As such, the Company re-set its objectives for fiscal 2023 in alignment with such bonus program. Attainment of such objectives is reviewed, and award recommendations outlined, in the first half of the following year. The goal of Bonus Compensation Plan is to focus the team's efforts on the most important corporate objectives for the year and then tie bonus compensation to the achievement of both corporate and personal objectives. No officers were awarded bonuses for fiscal 2023. Bonuses tied to corporate performance in fiscal 2024 were paid in the first half of 2025 as a combination of cash and Options. Information related to the bonuses of NEOs is outlined above.

The Company has no agreement or arrangements with any NEO or director of the Company with respect to change of control, severance, termination or constructive dismissal provisions.

Oversight and Description of Director and NEO Compensation

In determining director and NEO compensation, the GNC Committee first reviews and discusses information and requests pertaining to the compensation or remuneration of independent directors and executive officers. Further to any review and resulting recommendations, the Board will then review and approve, with abstentions as required, any changes to compensation of independent directors and/or executive officers, including NEOs. In determining compensation, the GNC Committee and the Board consider industry standards, geographic location of individuals, the competitive labor environment of the Company, the Company's financial situation and other relevant factors.

The compensation program for the senior management of the Company is designed within this context with a view that the level and form of compensation achieves certain objectives, including:

  1. attracting and retaining qualified executives;
  2. motivating the short and long-term performance of these executives; and
  3. better aligning their interests with those of the Company's shareholders.

In compensating its senior management, the Company has employed a combination of base salary and equity participation through its equity incentive plan.

Base Salary

In the view of the Board, paying base salaries which are reasonable in relation to the level of service expected while remaining competitive in the markets in which the Company operates is a first step to attracting and retaining qualified and effective executives.

Bonus Incentive Compensation

The Company's objective is to achieve certain strategic objectives and milestones. The Board will consider executive bonus compensation dependent upon the Company meeting those strategic objectives and milestones and sufficient cash resources being available for the granting of bonuses. The Board approves executive bonus compensation dependent upon compensation levels based on recommendations of the GNC Committee. Such recommendations are generally based on information provided by issuers that are similar in size and scope to the Company's operations.

Commissions

The Company has a commission structure in place for members of its sales team that is aligned with Company goals and objectives.

Equity Participation

The Company believes that encouraging its executives and employees to become shareholders is the best way of aligning their interests with those of its shareholders. Equity participation is accomplished through the Company's stock equity incentive plan. Stock options are granted to executives and employees taking into account a number of factors, including the amount and term of options previously granted, base salary and bonuses and competitive factors. The amounts and terms of options granted are determined by the Board. The Company emphasizes the provision of option grants to maintain executive motivation.

During the financial year ended December 31, 2024, Nil Options and Nil RSUs were granted to NEOs as per the table above titled, "Compensation Securities granted in the year ended December 31, 2024". As of the Record Date, the Company had a total of 3,108,622 Options outstanding as 1,274,952 Options outstanding under the Omnibus Plan and 1,833,670 Options outstanding under the Legacy Plan, as well as 440,844 RSUs outstanding under the Omnibus Plan. As at the Record Date, RSUs were the only non-Option Award type issued by the Company under the Omnibus Plan. The exercise price of the Options is fixed by the Board at the time of grant at the market price of the Common Shares, subject to all applicable regulatory requirements. The allocation of the Option grants is approved by the Board or a committee thereof based on management recommendations. Past grants are taken into consideration when determination future grants.

See "Employment, Consulting and Management Agreements" for compensation arrangements for the Company's NEOs. The Company has not used any formal peer group to determine compensation for its directors and NEOs for compensation for the year ended December 31, 2024.
