Although it is expected that the solicitation of proxies will be primarily by mail, proxies may also be solicited personally or by telephone, facsimile or other proxy solicitation services. 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 brokerage houses and clearing agencies, custodians, nominees, fiduciaries or other intermediaries to send the Notice of Meeting, this management information circular (the "Circular"), the annual consolidated financial statements of the Corporation for the financial years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2024, and related management's discussion and analysis and other meeting materials, if applicable (collectively the "Meeting Materials") to the beneficial owners of the common shares of the Corporation (the "Common Shares") held of record by such parties. The Corporation may reimburse such parties for reasonable fees and disbursements incurred by them in doing so. The costs of the solicitation of proxies will be borne by the Corporation. The Corporation may also retain, and pay a fee to, one or more professional proxy solicitation firms to solicit proxies from the shareholders of the Corporation in favour of the matters set forth in the Notice of Meeting.

APPOINTMENT AND REVOCATION OF PROXIES

A holder of Common Shares who appears on the records maintained by the Corporation's registrar and transfer agent as a registered holder of Common Shares (each a "Registered Shareholder") may vote in person at the Meeting or may appoint another person to represent such Registered Shareholder as proxy and to vote the Common Shares of such Registered Shareholder at the Meeting. In order to appoint another person as proxy, a Registered Shareholder must complete, execute and deliver the form of proxy accompanying this Circular, or another proper form of proxy, in the manner specified in the Notice of Meeting.

The purpose of a form of proxy is to designate persons who will vote on the shareholder's behalf in accordance with the instructions given by the shareholder in the form of proxy. The persons named in the enclosed form of proxy are officers or directors of the Corporation. A REGISTERED SHAREHOLDER DESIRING TO APPOINT SOME OTHER PERSON, WHO NEED NOT BE A SHAREHOLDER OF THE CORPORATION, TO REPRESENT HIM, HER OR IT AT THE MEETING MAY DO SO BY FILLING IN THE NAME OF SUCH PERSON IN THE BLANK SPACE PROVIDED IN THE FORM OF PROXY OR BY COMPLETING ANOTHER PROPER FORM OF PROXY. A Registered Shareholder wishing to be represented by proxy at the Meeting or any adjournment thereof must, in all cases, deposit the completed form of proxy with the Corporation's transfer agent and registrar, Computershare Investor Services Inc. (the "Transfer Agent"), not later than 10:00 a.m. (Eastern time) on Tuesday, September 2, 2025, or, if the Meeting is adjourned, not later than 48 hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, preceding the time of such adjourned Meeting at which the form of proxy is to be used. A form of proxy should be executed by the Registered Shareholder or his or her attorney duly authorized in writing or, if the Registered Shareholder is a corporation, by an officer or attorney thereof duly authorized.


Proxies may be deposited with the Transfer Agent using one of the following methods:

| By Mail or Hand Delivery: | Computershare Investor Services Inc.
100 University Avenue, 8th Floor, Toronto, Ontario, M5J 2Y1 |
| --- | --- |

A Registered Shareholder attending the Meeting has the right to vote in person and, if he or she does so, his or her form of proxy is nullified with respect to the matters such person votes upon at the Meeting and any subsequent matters thereafter to be voted upon at the Meeting or any adjournment thereof.

A Registered Shareholder who has given a form of proxy may revoke the form of proxy at any time prior to using it: (a) by depositing an instrument in writing, including another completed form of proxy, executed by such Registered Shareholder or by his or her attorney authorized in writing or by electronic signature or, if the Registered Shareholder is a corporation, by an authorized officer or attorney thereof at, or by transmitting by telephone or electronic means, a revocation signed, subject to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario), by electronic signature, to (i) the registered office of the Corporation, located at 18 King Street East, Suite 1400, Toronto, Ontario, M5C 1C4, at any time prior to 5:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the last business day preceding the day of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof or (ii) with the Chairman of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof; or (b) in any other manner permitted by law.

EXERCISE OF DISCRETION BY PROXIES

The Common Shares represented by proxies in favour of management nominees will be voted or withheld from voting in accordance with the instructions of the Registered Shareholder on any ballot that may be called for and, if a Registered Shareholder specifies a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon at the meeting, the Common Shares represented by the proxy shall be voted accordingly. Where no choice is specified, the proxy will confer discretionary authority and will be voted for the election of directors, for the appointment of auditors and the authorization of the directors to fix their remuneration and for each item of special business, as stated elsewhere in this Circular.

The enclosed form of proxy also confers discretionary authority upon the persons named therein to vote with respect to any amendments or variations to the matters identified in the Notice of Meeting and with respect to other matters which may properly come before the Meeting in such manner as such nominee in his judgment may determine. At the time of printing this Circular, the management of the Corporation knows of no such amendments, variations or other matters to come before the Meeting.

ADVICE TO NON-REGISTERED SHAREHOLDERS

The information set forth in this section is of significant importance to many shareholders of the Corporation, as a substantial number of shareholders of the Corporation do not hold Common Shares in their own name. Only Registered Shareholders or the persons they appoint as their proxies are permitted to attend and vote at the Meeting and only forms of proxy deposited by Registered Shareholders will be recognized and acted upon at the Meeting. Common Shares beneficially owned by a beneficial holder of Common Shares who does not appear on the records maintained by the Transfer Agent as a registered holder of Common Shares (each a "Non-Registered Holder") are registered either: (i) in the name of an intermediary (an "Intermediary") with whom the Non-Registered Holder deals in respect of the Common Shares (Intermediaries include, among others, banks, trust companies, securities dealers or brokers and trustees or administrators of self-administered RRSPs, RRIFs, RESPs and similar plans); or (ii) in the name of a clearing agency, such as CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc.,


(each a "Clearing Agency") of which the Intermediary is a participant. Accordingly, such Intermediaries and Clearing Agencies would be the Registered Shareholders and would appear as such on the list maintained by the Transfer Agent. Non-Registered Holders do not appear on the list of the Registered Shareholders maintained by the Transfer Agent.

Distribution of Meeting Materials to Non-Registered Holders

In accordance with the requirements of NI 54-101, the Corporation has distributed copies of the Meeting Materials to the Clearing Agencies and Intermediaries for onward distribution to Non-Registered Holders as well as directly to NOBOs (as defined below).

Non-Registered Holders 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"). Subject to the provisions of NI 54-101, issuers may request and obtain a list of their NOBOs from Intermediaries directly or via their transfer agent and may obtain and use the NOBO list for the distribution of proxy-related materials to such NOBOs. If you are a NOBO and the Corporation or its agent has sent the Meeting Materials directly to you, your name, address and information about your holdings of Common Shares have been obtained in accordance with applicable securities regulatory requirements from the Intermediary holding the Common Shares on your behalf.

The Corporation's OBOs can expect to be contacted by their Intermediary. The Corporation intends to pay for Intermediaries to deliver the Meeting Materials to OBOs and it is the responsibility of such Intermediaries to ensure delivery of the Meeting Materials to their OBOs, unless the OBO has waived the right to receive them. The Corporation will pay for the Intermediaries to deliver the meeting materials to each OBO..

Voting by Non-Registered Holders

The Common Shares held by Non-Registered Holders can only be voted or withheld from voting at the direction of the Non-Registered Holder. Without specific instructions, Intermediaries or Clearing Agencies are prohibited from voting Common Shares on behalf of Non-Registered Holders. Therefore, each Non-Registered Holder should ensure that voting instructions are communicated to the appropriate person well in advance of the Meeting.

The various Intermediaries have their own mailing procedures and provide their own return instructions to Non-Registered Holders, which should be carefully followed by Non-Registered Holders in order to ensure that their Common Shares are voted at the Meeting.

Non-Registered Holders will receive either a voting instruction form or, less frequently, a form of proxy. The purpose of these forms is to permit Non-Registered Holders to direct the voting of the Common Shares they beneficially own. Non-Registered Holders should follow the procedures set out below, depending on which type of form they receive.

Voting Instruction Form. In most cases, a Non-Registered Holder will receive, as part of the Meeting Materials, a voting instruction form (a "VIF"). If the Non-Registered Holder does not wish to attend and vote at the Meeting in person (or have another person attend and vote on the Non-Registered Holder's behalf), the VIF must be completed, signed and returned in accordance with the directions on the form.

or,

Form of Proxy. Less frequently, a Non-Registered Holder will receive, as part of the Meeting Materials, a form of proxy that has already been signed by the Intermediary (typically by a facsimile, stamped signature) which is restricted as to the number of Common Shares beneficially owned by the Non-Registered Holder but which is otherwise not completed. If the Non-Registered Holder does not wish to attend and vote at the Meeting in person (or have another person attend and vote on the Non-Registered Holder's behalf), the Non-Registered Holder must complete and sign the form of proxy and in accordance with the directions on the form.

  • 3 -

Voting by Non-Registered Holders at the Meeting

Although a Non-Registered Holder may not be recognized directly at the Meeting for the purposes of voting Common Shares registered in the name of an Intermediary or a Clearing Agency, a Non-Registered Holder may attend the Meeting as proxyholder for the Registered Shareholder who holds Common Shares beneficially owned by such Non-Registered Holder and vote such Common Shares as a proxyholder. A Non-Registered Holder who wishes to attend the Meeting and to vote their Common Shares as proxyholder for the Registered Shareholder who holds Common Shares beneficially owned by such Non-Registered Holder, should (a) if they received a VIF, follow the directions indicated on the VIF; or (b) if they received a form of proxy strike out the names of the persons named in the form of proxy and insert the Non-Registered Holder's or its nominees name in the blank space provided. Non-Registered Holders should carefully follow the instructions of their Intermediaries, including those instructions regarding when and where the VIF or the form of proxy is to be delivered.

All references to shareholders in the Meeting Materials are to Registered Shareholders as set forth on the list of registered shareholders of the Corporation as maintained by the Transfer Agent, unless specifically stated otherwise.

VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS OF VOTING SECURITIES

The authorized share capital of the Corporation consists of an unlimited number of Common Shares without par value and an unlimited number of special shares issuable in series. As of Monday, July 21, 2025, (the "Record Date"), there were a total of 254,614,862 Common Shares issued and outstanding and no special shares outstanding. Each Common Share outstanding on the Record Date carries the right to one vote at the Meeting.

Only Registered Shareholders as of the Record Date are entitled to receive notice of, and to attend and vote at, the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement of the Meeting. On a show of hands, every Registered Shareholder and proxy holder will have one vote and, on a poll, every Registered Shareholder present in person or represented by proxy will have one vote for each Common Share held.

To the knowledge of the Corporation's directors and executive officers, as of the date hereof, no person or company beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, or exercises control or direction over, Common Shares carrying more than 10% of the voting rights attached to the outstanding Common Shares, other than as set forth below:

Stock Options and Other Compensation Securities

None of the Named Executive Officers or directors of the Corporation exercised any compensation securities during the most recently completed financial year of the Corporation.


Stock Option Plan and other Incentive Plans

The Corporation has in place the Plan. The purpose of the Plan is to advance the interests of the Corporation by encouraging equity participation in the Corporation through the acquisition of Common Shares. The Plan is administered by the Board, which has full and final authority with respect to the granting of all stock options thereunder.

The number of stock options which may be issued under the Plan is limited to 10% of the number of Common Shares outstanding at the time of the grant of the stock options. As at the date hereof, 25,461,486 stock options may be reserved for issue pursuant to the Plan, nil stock options have been issued and 25,461,486 stock options are still available for issue.

The Plan provides that the aggregate number of securities reserved for issuance under the Plan, combined with any other compensation securities of the Corporation will not exceed 10% of the number of Common Shares issued and outstanding from time to time. Stock options ("Options") may be granted under the Plan to service providers of the Corporation and its affiliates, as the Board may from time to time designate. The exercise price of each Option shall be determined by the Board in its sole discretion, at the time such Option is allocated under the Plan and cannot be less than the Discounted Market Price (as defined in the policies of the TSXV). All Options granted under the Plan will expire no later than the date that is ten (10) years from the date that such Options are granted.

The Plan provides for the following restrictions: (a) no service provider of the Corporation may be granted an Option if that option would result in the total number of Options granted to the Participant in the previous 12 months, exceeding 5% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares unless the Corporation has obtained disinterested shareholder approval in accordance with TSXV policies; (b) the aggregate number of Options granted to service providers of the Corporation conducting Investor Relations Activities (as defined in the policies of the TSXV) in any 12 month period must not exceed 2% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, calculated at the time of grant; and (c) the aggregate number of Options granted to any one consultant in any 12 month period must not exceed 2% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, calculated at the time of grant, without prior consent of the TSXV.

If a holder of Options (the "Optionee") ceases to be a director or officer of the Corporation or ceases to be employed by the Corporation (other than by reason of death), or ceases to be a consultant of the Corporation as the case may be, Options may be exercised after the Optionee has left his/her employ/office or has been advised by the Corporation that his/her services are no longer required or his/her service contract has expired, until the term applicable to such Options expires, except as follows: (a) in the case of the death of an Optionee, any vested Option held by him at the date of death will become exercisable by the Optionee's lawful personal representatives, heirs or executors until the earlier of one year after the date of death of such Optionee and the date of expiration of the term otherwise applicable to such Option; (b) an Option granted to any Service Provider will expire 90 days (or such other time, not to exceed one year, as shall be determined by the board of directors of the Corporation as at the date of grant or agreed to by the board of directors of the Corporation and the Optionee at any time prior to expiry of the Option) after the date of termination, and only to the extent that such Option was vested at the date of termination; and (c) in the case of an Optionee being dismissed from employment or service for cause, such Optionee's Options, whether or not vested at the date of dismissal, will immediately terminate on the date of termination without right to exercise same.

Optionees may elect to exercise an Option, in whole or in part, on a "cashless exercise" ("Cashless Exercise") basis or a "net exercise" ("Net Exercise") basis. In connection with a Cashless Exercise of Options, a brokerage firm will loan money to an Optionee to purchase Common Shares underlying the Options, and will sell a sufficient number of Common Shares to cover the exercise price of the Options in order to repay the loan made to the Optionee and the Optionee retains the balance of the Common Shares. In connection with a Net Exercise of Options, an Optionee would receive such number of Common Shares equal in value to the difference between the Option price and the fair market value of the Common Shares on the date of exercise, computed in accordance with the terms of the Plan.

The foregoing information is intended to be a brief description of the Plan and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Plan. The Corporation has no equity compensation plans other than the Plan.

There are no other arrangements under which the directors of the Corporation who are not Named Executive Officers were compensated by the Corporation or its subsidiaries during the most recently completed financial year end for their services in their capacity as directors of the Corporation.

Compensation of Named Executive Officers

Principles of Executive Compensation

When determining the compensation of the Named Executive Officers, the Board considers the limited resources of the Corporation and the objectives of: (i) recruiting and retaining the executives critical to the success of the Corporation and the enhancement of shareholder value; (ii) providing fair and competitive compensation; (iii) balancing the interests of management and shareholders of the Corporation; and (iv) rewarding performance, both on an individual basis and with respect to the business in general. In order to achieve these objectives, the compensation paid to the Named Executive Officers consists of the following components:

(a) base fee; and
(b) long-term incentive in the form of stock options.

The Board is responsible for the Corporation's compensation policies and practices. The Board has the responsibility to review and make recommendations concerning the compensation of the directors of the Corporation and the Named Executive Officers. The Board also has the responsibility to make recommendations concerning grants to eligible persons under the stock option plan of the Corporation. The Board reviews and approves the hiring of executive officers.

Base Fees

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

Long Term Compensation

The Corporation currently has no long-term incentive plans, other than stock options granted from time to time by the Board under the provisions of the Plan.

The Corporation has not provided any compensation to such persons as a result of a change of control of the Corporation, its subsidiaries or affiliates. Except as set forth under the heading "Statement of Executive Compensation – Employment, Consulting and Management Agreements" in this Circular, the Corporation is not party to any compensation plan or arrangement with Named Executive Officers or directors of the Corporation resulting from the resignation, retirement or the termination of employment of such person.

Audit Committee Oversight

Since the commencement of the Corporation's most recently completed financial year, there has not been a recommendation of the Audit Committee to nominate or compensate an external auditor which was not adopted by the Board.


Reliance on Exemptions in NI 52-110

Since the commencement of the Corporation's most recently completed financial year, the Corporation has not relied on:

  1. the exemption in section 2.4 (De Minimis Non-audit Services) of NI 52-110 (which exempts all non-audit services provided by the Corporation's auditor from the requirement to be pre-approved by the Audit Committee if such services are less than 5% of the auditor's annual fees charged to the Corporation, are not recognized as non-audit services at the time of the engagement of the auditor to perform them and are subsequently approved by the Audit Committee prior to the completion of that year's audit);
  2. the exemption in subsection 6.1.1(4) (Circumstance Affecting the Business or Operations of the Venture Issuer) of NI 52-110 (an exemption from the requirement that a majority of the members of the Audit Committee must not be executive officers, employees or control persons of the Corporation or of an affiliate of the Corporation if a circumstance arises that affects the business or operations of the Corporation and a reasonable person would conclude that the circumstance can be best addressed by a member of the Audit Committee becoming an executive officer or employee of the Corporation);
  3. the exemption in subsection 6.1.1(5) (Events Outside Control of Member) (an exemption from the requirement that a majority of the members of the Audit Committee must not be executive officers, employees or control persons of the Corporation or of an affiliate of the Corporation if an Audit Committee member becomes a control person of the Corporation or of an affiliate of the Corporation for reasons outside the member's reasonable control);
  4. the exemption in subsection 6.1.1(6) (Death, Incapacity or Resignation) (an exemption from the requirement that a majority of the members of the Audit Committee must not be executive officers, employees or control persons of the Corporation or of an affiliate of the Corporation if a vacancy on the Audit Committee arises as a result of the death, incapacity or resignation of an Audit Committee member and the Board was required to fill the vacancy); or
  5. an exemption from the requirements of NI 52-110, in whole or in part, granted by a securities regulator under Part 8 (Exemptions) of NI 52-110.

The Corporation is a "venture issuer" for the purposes of NI 52-110. Accordingly, the Corporation is relying upon the exemption in section 6.1 of NI 52-110 providing that the Corporation is exempt from the application of Part 3 (Composition of the Audit Committee) and Part 5 (Reporting Obligations) of NI 52-110.

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

The Audit Committee has adopted specific policies and procedures for the engagement of non-audit services as described in the Audit Committee Charter.

Audit Fees

The following table provides details in respect of audit, audit related, tax and other fees billed by the external auditor of the Corporation for professional services rendered to the Corporation during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024:

  • 13 -

All Other Fees – aggregate fees billed for professional services which included accounting advice.

REPORT ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

The Corporation believes that adopting and maintaining appropriate governance practices is fundamental to a well-run Corporation, to the execution of its chosen strategies and to its successful business and financial performance. National Instrument 58-101 - Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices and National Policy 58-201 - Corporate Governance Guidelines (collectively the "Governance Guidelines") of the Canadian Securities Administrators set out a list of non-binding corporate governance guidelines that issuers are encouraged to follow in developing their own corporate governance guidelines. In certain cases, the Corporation's practices comply with the guidelines, however, the Board considers that some of the guidelines are not suitable for the Corporation at its current stage of development and therefore these guidelines have not been adopted. The Corporation will continue to review and implement corporate governance guidelines as the business of the Corporation progresses and becomes more active in operations.

The following disclosure is required by the Governance Guidelines and describes the Corporation's approach to governance and outlines the various procedures, policies and practices that the Corporation and the Board have implemented.

Board of Directors

The Board is currently composed of three directors. Form 58-101F2 – Corporate Governance Disclosure (Venture Issuers) ("Form 58-101F2") requires disclosure regarding how the Board facilitates its exercise of independent supervision over management of the Corporation by providing the identity of directors who are independent and the identity of directors who are not independent and the basis for that determination. NI 52-110 provides that a director is independent if he or she has no direct or indirect "material relationship" with the Corporation. "Material relationship" is defined as a relationship which could, in the view of the Board, be reasonably expected to interfere with the exercise of a director's independent judgment. In addition, under NI 52-110, an individual who is, or has been within the last three years, an employee or executive officer of an issuer, is deemed to have a "material relationship" with the issuer. Accordingly, of the proposed director nominees, Mr. Richard Lee, the Former Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Corporation and Mr. Na, the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation Chief Financial Officer of Spackman Media Group Limited are considered not to be "independent". The remaining proposed director nominees, Mr. Hale and Mr. Yim are considered by the Board to be "independent" within the meaning of NI 52-110. In assessing Form 58-101F2 and making the foregoing determinations, the Board has examined the circumstances of each director in relation to a number of factors.

Directorships

The directors, and proposed directors, of the Corporation currently do not hold directorships with other reporting issuers.

Board Committees

The Board has constituted one committees. The following directors are the current members of the following committees:

  • 14 -

Audit Committee: Kun Hyok Yim, William Hale (Chair) and Kay Na.

Members of this committee are appointed annually to hold office until the next annual meeting of the shareholders of the Corporation or until their successors are appointed.

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee is composed of three directors as named above, two of whom are "independent". The operation of the Audit Committee is described in the heading "Audit Committee Information Required in the Information Circular of a Venture Issuer" in this Circular.

Orientation and Continuing Education

The Board does not have a formal orientation or education program for its members. The Board's continuing education is typically derived from correspondence with the Corporation's legal counsel to remain up to date with developments in relevant corporate and securities law matters. Additionally, historically board members who are familiar with the Corporation and the nature of its business have been nominated.

Ethical Business Conduct

The Board has not adopted guidelines or attempted to quantify or stipulate steps to encourage and promote a culture of ethical business conduct, but does promote ethical business conduct designed to promote integrity and to deter wrongdoing through the nomination of Board members it considers ethical, through avoiding or minimizing conflicts of interest, and by having at least two of its Board members independent of corporate matters.

Nomination of Directors

The recruitment of new directors has generally resulted from recommendations made by directors and shareholders. The assessment of the contributions of individual directors has principally been the responsibility of the Board. Prior to standing for election, new nominees to the Board are reviewed by the entire Board.

Diversity of the Board and Senior Management

As a federal distributing corporation, incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act, the Corporation is required to disclose information annually to its shareholders and Corporations Canada on the diversity of its Board and senior management on the representation of women, Indigenous peoples (First Nations, Inuit and Metis), persons with disabilities, members of visible minorities or otherwise self-represent as being within designated groups (as that term is defined in the Employment Equity Act (Canada) (the "Designated Groups"). The information below is provided as of July 21, 2025.

Diversity of the Board and Senior Management

The Corporation has not adopted a formal written policy regarding the diversity of the Board or senior management. The Corporation does not believe a formal policy would increase the representation of Designated Groups beyond how the Corporation currently nominates and appoints individuals to the Board and senior management. The Corporation considers all qualified individuals for each position that may arise.

While the Corporation believes that nominations to the Board and appointments to senior management should be based on merit, the Corporation recognizes that diversity supports balanced debate and discussion which, in turn, enhances decision making and the level of representation of members of the Designated Groups is one factor taken into consideration during the search process for directors and members of the senior management.

In assessing potential directors and members of the senior management, the Corporation focuses on the skills, expertise, experience and independence which the Corporation requires to be effective. Due to the small size of the Board and the management team, and the stage of development of the Corporation's business, the Board believes that the qualifications and experience of proposed new directors and members of senior management should remain

  • 15 -

the primary consideration in the selection process. The Corporation will include diversity (including the level of representation of members of Designated Groups) as a factor in its future decision making when identifying and nominating candidates for election or re-election to the Board and for senior management positions.

Director Term Limits and Other Mechanism of Board Renewal

The Corporation has not adopted term restrictions for directors or other mechanism of Board renewal that would limit the time an individual could serve on the Board. Imposing a term limit would require the Corporation to remove an individual that has acquired an extensive knowledge and understanding of the operations of the Corporation. Accordingly, the Corporation believes that removing an individual solely on length of service would not benefit the shareholders of the Corporation. Each member of the Board is put forth, for election or re-election, to shareholders annually.

Quotas or Targets for Representation of Designated Groups on the Board and among Senior Management

The Corporation has not established quotas or targets for representation of individuals from the Designated Groups to the Board or senior management. The Corporation believes that focusing on a quota or target rather than on skills and experience would limit the Corporation's ability to provide shareholders with a Board or senior management that meets the qualifications and needs of the Corporation and its shareholders.

Representation of Designated Groups among Board and Senior Management

Information presented in this section including the below tables is presented as at the date of this Circular.

Representation of designated groups on the Board

Designated Group Number Percentage
Women nil nil%
Indigenous People nil nil%
Persons with disabilities nil nil%
Members of visible minorities nil nil%

Representation of designated groups on the senior management team

Designated Group Number Percentage
Women nil nil%
Indigenous People nil nil%
Persons with disabilities nil nil%
Members of visible minorities nil nil%

Other Board Committees

The Board currently does not have any standing committees other than as set out under the heading "Report on

  • 16 -

Corporate Governance – Board Committees" in this Circular.

Assessments

The Board monitors but does not formally assess the effectiveness and contribution of the Board, its committees and individual Board members. To date, the Board has satisfied itself, through informal discussions that the Board, its committees and individual Board members are performing effectively.

OTHER MATTERS

The management of the Corporation knows of no other matters to come before the Meeting other than as set forth in the Notice of Meeting. However, if other matters which are not known to management should properly come before the Meeting, the Corporation’s form of proxy will be voted on such matters in accordance with the best judgment of the person or persons voting the proxy.

Shareholders may contact the Corporation in order to request copies of: (i) this Circular; and (ii) the Corporation's consolidated financial statements and the related management's discussion and analysis (the "MD&A") which will be sent to the shareholder without charge upon request.

7. Business Conduct Policies

The Committee will review and reassess annually the adequacy of the Corporation's Code of Ethical Conduct and Business Practices and its policies and procedures with respect to Corporate Disclosure, Confidentiality and Restricted Trading Policies.

8. Allocation of Responsibilities

Management is responsible for operating the business of the Corporation and for its internal controls and the financial reporting process. The external auditors are responsible for performing an independent audit of the Corporation's consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and for issuing a report thereon. The external auditors shall report and be accountable to the Committee and through the Committee to the board of directors as representatives of shareholders. The Committee's responsibility is to monitor and oversee these processes on behalf of the board. The Committee is not charged with the duty to plan or conduct audits or to determine that the Corporation's financial statements are complete and accurate and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

The existence of the Committee and the delegation to it of certain powers and duties by the board of directors does not relieve individual members of the board of directors from the responsibility of satisfying themselves that the affairs of the Corporation are being properly conducted.

9. Complaints

Concerns or complaints submitted to management pursuant to procedures set forth in the Code of Ethical Conduct and Business Practices or otherwise received by an employee of the Corporation, including but not restricted to concerns and complaints which relate to accounting, internal accounting controls or audit matters, shall be referred to the Chair of the Committee. The Committee shall deal with all such internal complaints relating to such matters.

No reprisal, retaliation or disciplinary action shall be taken against employees for reporting, in good faith, such concerns. The Chair of the Committee shall, if requested by the complainant, keep the identity of the complainant in confidence to the extent appropriate or permitted by law.

10. Annual Review

The Committee shall review the adequacy of this Charter on an annual basis and recommend any changes to the board.
