INFORMATION CIRCULAR

as at October 10, 2025 (except as otherwise indicated)

This Information Circular is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the management of Sharc International Systems Inc. (the "Company") for use at the annual general meeting (the "Meeting") of its shareholders to be held at Suite 1500 – 1055 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada on Friday, November 28, 2025, at 10 o'clock a.m. (Pacific Time) and for the purposes set forth in the accompanying notice of the Meeting.

In this Information Circular, references to the "Company", "we" and "our" refer to Sharc International Systems Inc. "Common Shares" means common shares without par value in the capital of the Company. "Registered Shareholders" means shareholders whose Common shares are registered in their name. "Beneficial Shareholders" means shareholders who do not hold Common Shares in their own name. "Intermediaries" refers to brokers, investment firms, clearing houses and similar entities that own securities on behalf of Beneficial Shareholders.

GENERAL PROXY INFORMATION

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. We have arranged for intermediaries to forward the meeting materials to beneficial owners of the Common Shares held of record by those intermediaries and we may reimburse the intermediaries for their reasonable fees and disbursements in that regard.

The Company will pay intermediaries, including Broadridge Financial Solutions Inc. ("Broadridge"), to deliver proxy-related materials to the non-objecting beneficial shareholders (the "NOBOs"). The Company does not intend to pay for intermediaries to forward the proxy related materials to the objecting beneficial shareholders (the "OBOs"). Accordingly, OBOs will not receive such documents unless their respective Intermediaries assume the cost of forwarding such documents to them.

Appointment of Proxyholders

Each of the individuals named in the accompanying form of proxy (the "Proxy") is a director and/or officer 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 either of 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.

Notice-and-Access

In accordance with National Instrument 54-101 - Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer ("NI 54-101"), arrangements have been made with intermediaries to forward the Notice and Access Notice, proxies and voting instruction forms to the Beneficial Shareholders of the Common Shares held of record by such parties.

The Company has given notice of the Meeting in accordance with NI 54-101, pursuant to which it has sent a Notice and Access Notice and proxy or voting instruction form, but not the Notice of Meeting and Information Circular (the "Meeting Materials") directly to its registered Shareholders and those Beneficial Shareholders that have consented to allow their addresses to be provided to the Company ("NOBOs") in accordance with NI 54-101. The Company does not intend to pay for intermediaries to forward the Notice and Access Notice and voting instruction form to those Beneficial Shareholders that have refused to allow their address to be provided to the Company ("OBOs"). Accordingly, OBOs will not receive the Notice and Access Notice and voting instruction form unless their respective intermediaries assume the cost of forwarding such documents to them.

Instead of mailing the Meeting Materials to Shareholders, the Company has posted the Meeting Materials on its website at www.sharcenergy.com, or more specifically https://support.sharcenergy.com/portal/en/kb/articles/2025-annual-general-meeting-agm, pursuant to the notice-and-access procedures of NI 54-101. Shareholders will not receive a paper copy of the Meeting Materials unless they contact the Company by calling the Company's English Toll Free Number: 1-866-697-4272 and press 4 for investor relations or email the Company at [email protected]. Provided the request is made prior to the Meeting, Shareholders will be mailed the Meeting Materials within three business days. Requests for paper copies of the Meeting Materials should be made no later than Friday, November 14, 2025 in order for Shareholders to receive paper copies of the Meeting Materials and return their completed proxies or voting instruction forms, as applicable, by the deadline for submission of 10:00 a.m. (Pacific Time) on Wednesday, November 26, 2025.

The Company will pay intermediaries, including Broadridge Financial Solutions ("Broadridge"), to deliver proxy-related materials to NOBOs.

Appointment of Proxyholders

The individuals named in the accompanying form of proxy (the "Proxy") are directors and/or officers 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 either of 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 Common 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 Common 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.

In respect of a matter for which a choice is not specified in the Proxy, the persons named in the Proxy will vote the Common Shares represented by the Proxy for the approval of such matter.

Registered Shareholders

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

(i) complete, date and sign the Proxy and return it to the Company's transfer agent, Odyssey Trust Company ("Odyssey Trust"), by 10 o'clock a.m. (Pacific Time) Wednesday, November 26, 2025 by mail or personal delivery to Odyssey Trust, Attn: Proxy Department, Suite 1100, 67 Yonge St., Toronto, ON M5E 1J8; or by fax to Odyssey Trust, to the attention of the Proxy Department at 1-800-517-4553 (toll-free within Canada and the U.S.) or 416-263-9524 (International); or
(ii) use the internet through the website of the Company's transfer agent at https://vote.odysseytrust.com. and click LOGIN. You will require the CONTROL NUMBER printed with your address to the right on your proxy form, and return it to Odyssey Trust by 10 o'clock a.m. (Pacific Time), Wednesday, November 26, 2025. If you vote by Internet, do not mail this proxy.

In all cases the Registered Shareholder must ensure the proxy is received at least 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and statutory holidays) before the Meeting or the adjournment thereof at which the proxy is to be used.

Beneficial Shareholders

The following information is of significant importance to shareholders who do not hold Common Shares in their own name. Beneficial Shareholders should note that the only proxies that can be recognized and acted upon at the Meeting are

LEGAL_47801925.2


  • 3 -

those deposited by Registered Shareholders (those whose names appear on the records of the Company as the registered holders of Common Shares) or as set out in the following disclosure.

If Common Shares are listed in an account statement provided to a shareholder by a broker, then in almost all cases those Common Shares will not be registered in the shareholder's name on the records of the Company. Such Common Shares will more likely be registered under the names of the shareholder's broker or an agent of that broker (an “intermediary”). In the United States, the vast majority of such Common Shares are registered under the name of Cede & Co. as nominee for The Depository Trust Company (which acts as depositary for many U.S. brokerage firms and custodian banks), and in Canada, under the name of CDS & Co. (the registration name for The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited, which acts as nominee for many Canadian brokerage firms).

Intermediaries are required to seek voting instructions from Beneficial Shareholders in advance of meetings of shareholders. Every intermediary has its own mailing procedures and provides its own return instructions to clients.

There are two kinds of Beneficial owners - those who object to their name being made known to the issuers of securities which they own (called “OBOs” for Objecting Beneficial Owners) and those who do not object to the issuers of the securities they own knowing who they are (called “NOBOs” for Non-Objecting Beneficial Owners).

The Company is taking advantage of the provisions of National Instrument 54-101 “Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer” that permit it to directly deliver proxy-related materials to its NOBOs. As a result, NOBOs can expect to receive Voting Instruction Form (“VIF”) from our transfer agent, Odyssey Trust. These VIFs are to be completed and returned to Odyssey Trust in the envelope provided or by facsimile. In addition, Odyssey Trust provides both telephone voting and internet voting as described on the VIF itself which contain complete instructions. Odyssey Trust will tabulate the results of the VIFs received from NOBOs and will provide appropriate instructions at the Meeting with respect to the shares represented by the VIFs they receive.

These securityholder materials are being sent to both registered and non-registered owners of the securities of the Company. If you are a non-registered owner, and the Company or its agent has sent these materials directly to you, your name and address and information about your holdings of securities, have been obtained in accordance with applicable securities regulatory requirements from the intermediary holding securities on your behalf.

By choosing to send these materials to you directly, the Company (and not the intermediary holding securities 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 your request for voting instructions.

Beneficial Shareholders who are OBOs should follow the instructions of their intermediary carefully to ensure that their Common Shares are voted at the Meeting.

The form of proxy supplied to you by your broker will be similar to the proxy provided to Registered Shareholders by the Company. However, its purpose is limited to instructing the intermediary on how to vote your Common Shares on your behalf. Most brokers now delegate responsibility for obtaining instructions from clients to Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”) in the United States and in Canada. Broadridge mails a VIF in lieu of a proxy provided by the Company. The VIF will name the same persons as the Company's Proxy to represent your Common Shares at the Meeting. You have the right to appoint a person (who need not be a Beneficial Shareholder of the Company), other than any of the persons designated in the VIF, to represent your Common Shares at the Meeting and that person may be you. To exercise this right, you should insert the name of the desired representative (which may be yourself) in the blank space provided in the VIF. The completed VIF must then be returned to Broadridge by mail or facsimile or given to Broadridge by phone or over the internet, in accordance with Broadridge's instructions. Broadridge then tabulates the results of all instructions received and provides appropriate instructions respecting the voting of Common Shares to be represented at the Meeting and the appointment of any shareholder's representative. If you receive a VIF from Broadridge, the VIF must be completed and returned to Broadridge, in accordance with its instructions, well in advance of the Meeting in order to have your Common Shares voted at the Meeting or to have an alternate representative duly appointed to attend the Meeting and to vote your Common Shares at the Meeting.

Management of the Company does not intend to pay for intermediaries to forward to Objecting Beneficial Owners (“OBOs”) under National Instrument 54-101 the proxy-related materials and Form 54-101F7 Request for Voting Instructions Made by Intermediary, and, in the case of an OBO, the OBO will not receive the materials unless the OBO's intermediary assumes the cost of delivery.

Notice to Shareholders in the United States

The solicitation of proxies involves securities of an issuer located in Canada and is being effected in accordance with the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the "BCBCA") and Canadian provincial securities laws. 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 Information Circular has been prepared in accordance with the disclosure requirements of applicable Canadian provincial securities laws which differ from the disclosure requirements of United States federal 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 BCBCA, and all of its directors, and all but one of its executive officers, are resident outside of the United States. A substantial portion of the Company's assets, and the assets of its non-U.S. directors and executive officers, are located outside the United States. Shareholders may not be able to sue a foreign company or its non-U.S. 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 non-U.S. officers and directors to subject themselves to a judgment by a United States court.

Revocation of Proxies

In addition to revocation in 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 by delivering the proxy bearing a later date to Odyssey Trust Company or at the address of the registered office of the Company at 1500 Royal Centre, 1055 West Georgia Street, P.O. Box 11117, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6E 4N7, at any time up to and including the last business day that precedes the day of the Meeting or, if the Meeting is adjourned, the last business day that precedes any reconvening thereof, or to the chairman of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting or any reconvening thereof, or in any other manner provided by law, or

(b) personally attending the Meeting and voting the registered shareholder's Common Shares.

A revocation of a proxy will not affect a matter on which a vote is taken before the revocation.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2024, the report of the auditor thereon and the related management discussion and analysis will be tabled and available at the Meeting. These documents are also available on the Company's SEDAR+ corporate profile website at www.sedarplus.ca.

INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS OR COMPANIES IN MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON

No director or executive officer of the Company, or any person who has held such a position since the beginning of the last completed financial year of the Company, nor any nominee for election as a director of the Company, nor any associate or affiliate of the foregoing persons, has any substantial or material interest, direct or indirect, by way of beneficial ownership of securities or otherwise, in any matter to be acted on at the Meeting other than the election of directors, and as set out herein.

VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS OF VOTING SECURITIES

The board of directors of the Company (the "Board") has fixed October 10, 2025 as the record date (the "Record Date") for determination of persons entitled to receive notice of the Meeting.

Cease Trade Orders and Bankruptcy

No director or proposed director:

(a) is, as at the date of the information circular (the "Circular"), or has been, within 10 years before the date of this Circular, a director, chief executive office ("CEO") or chief financial officer ("CFO") of any company (including the Company in respect of which this Circular is prepared) that,

(i) was subject to an order that was issued while the proposed director was acting in the capacity as director, CEO or CFO; or
(ii) was subject to an order that was issued after the proposed director ceased to be a director, CEO or CFO and which resulted from an event that occurred while that person was acting in the capacity as director, CEO or CFO; or

(b) is, as at the date of this Circular, or has been within 10 years before the date of this Circular, a director or executive officer of any company (including the Company in respect of which this Circular is prepared) that, while that person was acting in that capacity, or within a year of that person ceasing to act in that capacity, became bankrupt, made a proposal under any legislation relating to bankruptcy or insolvency or was subject to or instituted any proceedings, arrangement or compromise with creditors or had a receiver, receiver manager or trustee appointed to hold its assets; or
(c) has, within the 10 years before the date of this Circular, become bankrupt, made a proposal under any legislation relating to bankruptcy or insolvency, or become subject to or instituted any proceedings, arrangement or compromise with creditors, or had a receiver, receiver manager or trustee appointed to hold the assets of the proposed director.

Penalties or Sanctions

None of the proposed directors have been subject to any penalties or sanctions imposed by a court relating to securities legislation or by a securities regulatory authority, has entered into a settlement agreement with a securities regulatory authority or has been subject to any other penalties or sanctions imposed by a court or regulatory body that would be likely to be considered important to a reasonable securityholder making a decision about whether to vote for the proposed director.

Advance Notice Provision

At the Company's annual general and special meeting held on November 25, 2013, the Company's shareholders approved the alteration of the Company's articles for the purpose of adopting advance notice provisions (the "Advance Notice Provision"). The Advance Notice Provision provides for advance notice to the Company in circumstances where nominations of persons for election to the Board of directors of the Company are made by shareholders of the Company other than pursuant to (i) a requisition of a meeting made pursuant to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) or (ii) a shareholder proposal made pursuant to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia).

The purpose of the Advance Notice Provision 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. Among other things, the Advance Notice Provision fixes a deadline by which holders of Common Shares must submit

LEGAL_47801925.2

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

General

Corporate governance relates to the activities of the Board, the members of which are elected by and are accountable to the shareholders of the Company. Corporate governance also takes into account the role of the individual members of management appointed by the Board who are charged with the day-to-day management of the Company. The Board is committed to sound corporate governance practices, which are both in the interest of its shareholders and contribute to effective and efficient decision making.

Board of Directors

Directors are considered to be independent if they have no direct or indirect material relationship with the Company. A "material relationship" is a relationship which could, in the view of a company's board of directors, be reasonably expected to interfere with the exercise of a director's independent judgment.

The Board facilitates its independent supervision over management of the Company through meetings of the Board and by ensuring that at least one director is independent of management. The Board is currently comprised of six members, five of whom are independent and one who is non-independent. The independent members of the Board are Lynn Mueller, Michael Albertson, The Honourable Michael "Mike" Harcourt, Peter Busby and Dermot Sweeny. The non-independent director is Michael Albertson, (Chief Executive Officer, President and Director).

Directorships

The following below named director is currently serving on boards of the following other reporting companies (or equivalent) as set out below:

Name of Director Reporting Issuer Trading Market
Michael Harcourt Maven Brands Inc. (formerly True Leaf Brands Inc.) CSE

Orientation and Continuing Education

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

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

Ethical Business Conduct

The Board has found that the fiduciary duties placed on individual directors by the Company's governing corporate legislation and the common law and the restrictions placed by applicable corporate legislation on an individual director's participation in decisions of the Board in which the director has an interest are sufficient to ensure that the Board operates independently of management and in the best interests of the Company.

Nomination of Directors

The Board considers its size each year when it considers the number of directors to recommend to the shareholders for election at the annual meeting of shareholders, taking into account the number required to carry out the Board's duties effectively and to maintain a diversity of views and experience.

The Board does not have a nominating committee, and these functions are currently performed by the Board as a whole. However, if there is a change in the number of directors required by the Company, this policy will be reviewed.

LEGAL_47801925.2


  • 12 -

Compensation

The Board as a whole has the responsibility of determining the compensation for the directors and the Chief Executive Officer.

To determine compensation payable, the Board reviews compensation paid to directors and chief executive officers of other companies of similar size and stage of development in similar industries and then determine appropriate compensation reflecting the responsibilities and time and effort expended by each director and the Chief Executive Officer while taking into account the financial and other resources of the Company. In settling on the compensation, the Board annually reviews the performance of the Chief Executive Officer in light of the Company's objectives and considers other factors that may have influenced the achievement of the Company's objectives.

Other Board Committees

The Board has no committees other than the Audit Committee.

Assessments

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 Audit Committee. No formal policy has been established to monitor the effectiveness of each director, the Board and the Audit Committee.

Stock Option Plan and Other Incentive Plans

10% Rolling Stock Option Plan (Option-Based Awards)

The Company has a 10% "rolling" stock option plan dated August 7, 2020, as amended on August 10, 2023 which provide that up to 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares from time to time may be reserved for issue under this plan (the "Stock Option Plan"). Under Canadian Securities Exchange Policy, the Stock Option Plan was approved by the shareholders of the Company at the Company's September 12, 2024 annual general meeting for a three year period to September 12, 2027, and also approved all unallocated stock options under the Stock Option Plan for a three year period to September 12, 2027. The Stock Option Plan is attached as Schedule "B" to the Company's Information Circular to its September 12, 2024 annual general meeting.

The Stock Option Plan was established to provide incentive to qualified parties to increase their proprietary interest in the Company and thereby encourage their continuing association with the Company.

The Board of Directors (the "Board") (or such other committee the Board may appoint) is responsible for administering the Stock Option Plan. The Stock Option Plan provides that options will be issued to directors, officers, employees or consultants of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company.

The Stock Option Plan provides that the number of Common Shares issuable under the Option Plan, may not exceed 10% of the total number of the Company's issued and outstanding Common Shares.

Material Terms to the Stock Option Plan

The following information is intended to be a brief description of the Stock Option Plan and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Stock Option Plan:

(1) persons who are consultants to the Company or its affiliates, or who are providing services to the Company or its affiliates, are eligible to receive grants of Options under the Stock Option Plan;

(2) Options granted under the Stock Option Plan are non-assignable, and non-transferable;

(3) an Option granted to any consultants will expire within 30 days after the date the Option Holder (as defined in the Stock Option Plan) ceases to be employed by or provide services to the Company unless the Option Holder ceases to be held such position as a result of (i) termination for cause; (ii) resigning his or her position; or (iii) an order made by any regulatory authority having jurisdiction to so order, in which case the expiry date of the date the Option Holder ceases to hold such position;

(4) if an Option Holder dies, any Options held by such Option Holder shall pass to the personal representative of the Option Holder and shall be exercisable by the personal representative on or before the date which is the earlier of one year following the date of death and the applicable Expiry Date;

(5) the exercise price of each Option will be set by the Board on the effective date of the Option and will not be less than the Market Value (as defined in the Stock Option Plan;

LEGAL_47801925.2


  • 16 -

(6) the vesting schedule for an option, if any, shall be determined by the Board and shall be set out in the Option Certificate (as defined in the Option Plan) issued in respect of the option; and

(7) the Board reserves the right in its absolute discretion to amend, suspend, terminate or discontinue the Stock Option Plan with respect to all Stock Option Plan Common Shares in respect of options which have not yet been granted.

Restricted Share Unit Plan (Share-Based Awards)

The Company has a 10% "rolling" restricted share unit plan dated August 7, 2020, as amended on August 10, 2023 and the maximum number of RSUs granted should not exceed 10% of the issued shares of the Company aggregated with all other security-based compensation (the "RSU Plan"). Under Canadian Securities Exchange Policy, the RSU Plan was approved by the shareholders of the Company at the Company's September 12, 2024 annual general meeting for a three year period to September 12, 2027, and also approved all unallocated restricted share units under the RSU Plan for a three year period to September 12, 2027. The RSU Plan is attached as Schedule "C" to the Company's Information Circular to its September 12, 2024 annual general meeting.

Under the RSU Plan, Eligible Persons (as defined in the RSU Plan) may at the Board's discretion, be allocated a number of restricted share units ("RSUs"). Upon vesting, Eligible Persons shall be entitled to receive common shares of the Company to satisfy all or any portion of a vested RSU award. The maximum number of RSUs issuable under the RSU Plan is 10% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares at the time of issuance, less any Common Shares reserved for issuance under all other Share Compensation Arrangements, subject to adjustments as provided in the RSU Plan.

The RSU Plan was adopted to provide a vehicle by which equity-based incentives may be awarded to the employees, consultants, directors and officers of the Company, to recognize and reward their significant contributions to the long-term success of the Company including to align the employees', consultants' directors' and officers' interests more closely with the shareholders of the Company.

Material Terms to the RSU Plan

The RSU Plan provides that the maximum number of Common Shares made available for issuance pursuant to the RSU Plan shall be determined from time to time by the Board, but in any case, shall not exceed 10% of the Common Shares issued and outstanding from time to time less any Common Shares reserved for issuance under all other Share Compensation Arrangements, subject to adjustments as provided in the RSU Plan. The RSU Plan is a "rolling plan" and therefore when RSUs are cancelled (whether or not upon payment with respect to vested RSUs) or terminated, Common Shares shall automatically be available for issuance pursuant to the RSU Plan.

Nature and Administration of the RSU Plan

All Directors, Officers, Consultants and Employees (as defined in the RSU Plan) of the Company and its related entities ("Eligible Persons") are eligible to participate in the RSU Plan (as "Participants"), and the Company reserves the right to restrict eligibility or otherwise limit the number of persons eligible for participation as Participants in the RSU Plan. Eligibility to participate as a Participant 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 (an "Account") maintained for each Participant on the books of the Company as of the award date. The number of RSUs to be credited to each Participant'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 not transferable or assignable otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and shall be exercisable during the lifetime of the Participant only by the Participant and after death, only by the Participant's legal representative.

Credit for Dividends

A Participant's Account will be credited with additional RSUs (the "Dividend RSUs") as of each dividend payment date in respect of which cash dividends are paid on Common Shares. The number of Dividend RSUs credited to a Participant's Account in connection with the payment of dividends on Common Shares will be based on the actual amount of cash dividends that would have been paid to such Participant had he or she been holding such number of Common Shares equal to the number of RSUs credited to the Participant's Account on the date on which cash dividends are paid on the Common Shares and the market price of the Common Shares on the payment date. Note that the Company is not obligated to pay dividends on Common Shares.

LEGAL_47801925.2


  • 17 -

Resignation, Termination, Leave of Absence or Death

Generally, if a Participant's employment or service is terminated, or if the Participant resigns from employment with the Company, then all RSUs held by the Participant (whether vested or unvested) shall terminate automatically upon the termination of the Participant's service or employment.

In the event a Participant is terminated by reason of termination by the Company other than for cause or the Participant's death, the Participant's unvested RSUs shall vest automatically as of such date. In the event the termination of the Participant's services by reason of voluntary resignation, only the Participant's unvested RSUs shall terminate automatically as of such date.

Change of Control

In the event of a Change of Control, 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 Common 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. The determination of the Board in respect of any such Change of Control Event shall for the purposes of this RSU Plan be final, conclusive and binding.

Adjustments

In the event there is a change in the outstanding Common Shares by reason of any stock dividend or split, recapitalization, amalgamation, consolidation, combination or exchange of shares, or other corporate change, the Board shall make, subject to the prior approval of the Canadian Securities Exchange where necessary, appropriate substitution or adjustment in (i) the number or kind of Common Shares or other securities reserved for issuance pursuant to the RSU Plan, and (ii) the number and kind of Common Shares or other securities subject to unsettled and outstanding RSUs granted pursuant to the RSU Plan.

Vesting

Each award of RSUs vests on the date(s) (the "Vesting Date") specified by the Board on the award date, and reflected in the applicable RSU grant letter.

Limitations under the RSU Plan

The maximum number of Common Shares made available for issuance pursuant to the RSU Plan shall be determined from time to time by the Board, but in any case, shall not exceed 10% of the Common Shares issued and outstanding from time to time, subject to adjustments as provided in the RSU Plan.

Stock Options and Other Compensation Securities

There were no compensation securities granted or issued to each NEO of the Company and to a director who was not an NEO of the Company, or its subsidiaries, in the most recently completed financial year ended December 31, 2024 for services provided or to be provided, directly or indirectly, to the Company, or its subsidiaries.

Oversight and Description of Director and NEO Compensation

The Board as a whole assumes responsibility for reviewing and monitoring compensation for the Company's senior management and directors, and as part of that mandate determines the compensation of the Company's CEO and CFO.

The Company has limited financial resources to ensure that funds are available to complete its business objectives. As a result, the Board must consider not only the financial situation of the Company at the time of the determination of executive compensation, but also the estimated financial situation of the Company both in the mid-term and the long-term. Because stock options or restricted share units do not require cash disbursement by the Company, they are an important element of executive compensation. Additional information about the Company and its operations is available in the Company's consolidated financial statements and related management's discussion & analysis for the financial year ended December 31, 2024 which have been filed with regulators and are available for review under the Company's SEDAR+ corporate profile at www.sedarplus.ca.

The Board has assessed the Company's compensation plans and programs for its executive officers to ensure alignment with the Company's business plan and to evaluate the potential risks associated with those plans and programs. The Board has concluded that the compensation policies and practices do not create any risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Board considers the risks associated with executive compensation and corporate incentive plans when designing and reviewing such plans and programs.

The Company has not adopted a policy restricting its executive officers or directors from purchasing financial instruments that are designated to hedge or offset a decrease in market value of equity securities granted as compensation or held, directly or indirectly, by its executive officers or directors. To the knowledge of the Company, none of the executive officers or directors has purchased such financial instruments.

Philosophy and Objectives

Compensation for senior management of the Company is designed to ensure that the level and form of compensation achieves certain objectives, which are:

  • to attract and retain qualified and effective executives;
  • to motivate the short and long-term performance of these executives; and
  • to align their interests with those of the Company's shareholders.

LEGAL_47801925.2


  • 19 -

In compensating its senior management, the Company has employed a combination of base salary and equity participation through its stock option plan and restricted share unit plan.

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 option plan and restricted share unit plan. Stock options and restricted share units are granted to senior 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. Options, which vest immediately, are generally granted to senior executives and Board members.

Compensation of Board Members and Named Executive Officers

Compensation for each of the Board members and each of the NEOs is approved by the Board as a whole. Base cash compensation and variable cash compensation levels are based, in part, on market survey data provided to the Board by independent consultants.

Compensation Review Process

Base Salary or Consulting Fees

In the Board's view, paying base salaries which are competitive in the markets in which the Company operates is a first step to attracting and retaining talented, qualified and effective executives. Competitive salary information on companies earning comparable revenues in a similar industry has been reviewed and compared over a variety of sources.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company did not enter into any transactions with related parties.

Key management personnel are those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Company, directly or indirectly. Key management personnel include officers and directors.
