INFORMATION CIRCULAR
(as at XX April 2025 unless indicated otherwise)

GENERAL VOTING INFORMATION

PERSONS OR COMPANIES MAKING SOLICITATION

This management Information Circular is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the management of SQID Technologies Limited (the "Company" or "SQID") for use at the annual general meeting for the 2024 year (the "Meeting") of its shareholders to be held on Friday 30 May 2025 at the time and place 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 SQID Technologies Limited. The "board of directors" or the "Board" refers to the board of directors of the Company. "Ordinary Shares" means ordinary shares without par value in the capital of the Company. "SQID shareholders", "shareholders" and "shareholders of the Company" refer to the shareholders of the Company. "Beneficial Shareholders" means shareholders who do not hold Ordinary 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.

APPOINTMENT OF PROXYHOLDERS

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

A shareholder of the Company has the right to appoint a person, other than the person designated in the accompanying form of proxy (who need not be a shareholder of the Company, or otherwise entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting) to attend and act for the shareholder and on the shareholder's behalf at the meeting. A shareholder desiring to appoint some other person may do so either by inserting the desired person's name in the blank space provided for that purpose in the accompanying form of proxy or by completing another proper form of proxy.

To be used at the Meeting, proxies must be received by Computershare Investor Services Inc., Proxy Department, 100 University Avenue, 8th Floor, Toronto, Ontario M5J 2Y1 by 10:30 am GMT+10 on May 28, 2025 (4:30 PM PDT May 27, 2025) or, or, if the Meeting is adjourned, not later than 48 hours preceding the time on which the Meeting is reconvened, or may be accepted by the chair of the Meeting prior to the commencement of the Meeting.

REVOCATION OF PROXIES

A shareholder giving a proxy has the power to revoke it at any time to the extent that it has not been exercised. In addition to revocation in any other manner permitted by law, a shareholder giving a proxy has the power to revoke it by depositing an instrument in writing executed by the shareholder or by the shareholder's attorney authorized in writing or, where the shareholder is a corporation, by a duly authorized officer or attorney of the corporation and delivered either to the registered office of the Company (Level 14, 440 Collins Street, Melbourne, Victoria 3000 Australia) at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the day of the Meeting, or any adjournment(s) thereof, at

Page 1 of 18


Information Circular for the Meeting of SQID Technologies Limited on 30 May 2025.

which the proxy is to be used, or to the Chair of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting or any adjournment(s) thereof at which the proxy is to be used.

VALIDITY OF INSTRUMENT OF PROXY

A proxy or an instrument appointing a duly authorized representative of a Company shall be in writing, under the hand of the appointor or his or her attorney duly authorized in writing, or, if such appointor is a Company, either under its seal or under the hand of an officer or attorney duly authorized for that purpose.

Voting by Proxyholder

At the time of printing this Information Circular, Management knows of no amendments, variations or other matters which may be presented for action at the Meeting other than the matters referred to in the accompanying Notice of Meeting.

The persons named in the Proxy will vote or withhold from voting the Ordinary Shares represented thereby in accordance with your instructions on any ballot that may be called for. The Ordinary Shares represented by the accompanying form of proxy will be voted or withheld from voting in accordance with the instructions of the shareholder on any ballot that may be called for and, if the shareholder specifies a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, the Ordinary Shares will be voted accordingly on such ballot. 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.

The accompanying form of proxy when duly completed and delivered and not revoked confers discretionary authority upon the persons named therein with respect to matters where no choice is specified. 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 on the Proxy and, if applicable, for the nominees of management for directors and auditors as identified in the Proxy.

NON-REGISTERED HOLDERS

Only registered holders of Ordinary Shares of the Company or the persons they appoint as their proxyholders are permitted to vote at the Meeting. In many cases, however, Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by a holder (a "Non-Registered Holder") are registered either:

(a) in the name of an Intermediary (an "Intermediary") that the Non-Registered Holder deals with in respect of the Ordinary Shares. Intermediaries include banks, trust companies, securities dealers or brokers, and trustees or administrators of self-administered RRSPs, RRIFs, RESPs and similar plans, or

(b) in the name of a clearing agency (such as The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited (CDS)) of which the Intermediary is a participant.

Page 2 of 18


Information Circular for the Meeting of SQID Technologies Limited on 30 May 2025.

Non-Registered Holders who have not objected to their Intermediary disclosing certain ownership information about themselves to the Company are referred to as "NOBOs". Those Non-Registered Holders who have objected to their Intermediary disclosing ownership information about themselves to the Company are referred to as "OBOs".

In accordance with the requirements of NI 54-101, the Company has elected to send the proxy related materials directly to the NOBOs, and indirectly through Intermediaries to the OBOs.

The Intermediaries (or their service companies) are responsible for forwarding the proxy related materials to each OBO, unless the OBO has waived the right to receive proxy-related materials from the Company. Intermediaries will frequently use service companies to forward proxy-related materials to the OBOs. Generally, an OBO who has not waived the right to receive proxy-related materials will either:

(a) be given a form of proxy which has already been signed by the Intermediary (typically by a facsimile, stamped signature), which is restricted as to the number of Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by the OBO and must be completed, but not signed, by the OBO and deposited with Computershare Investor Services Inc.; or

(b) more typically, be given a voting instruction form ("VIF") which is not signed by the Intermediary, and which, when properly completed and signed by the OBO and returned to the Intermediary or its service company, will constitute voting instructions which the Intermediary must follow.

The Company will not be paying for Intermediaries to deliver to OBOs (who have not otherwise waived their right to receive proxy-related materials) copies of proxy-related materials and related documents. Accordingly, an OBO will not receive copies of proxy-related materials and related documents unless the OBO's Intermediary assumes the costs of delivery.

Applicable proxy related materials are being sent to both registered shareholders of the Company and Non-Registered Holders. If you are a Non-Registered Holder, and the Company or its agent has sent the applicable proxy-related materials 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 on your behalf. By choosing to send these materials to you directly, the Company (and not the Intermediary holding on your behalf) has assumed responsibility for (i) delivering these materials to you, and (ii) executing your proper voting instructions. Please return your voting instructions as specified in the request for voting instructions.

The proxy-related materials sent to NOBOs who have not waived the right to receive proxy-related materials are accompanied by a VIF, instead of a proxy form. By returning the VIF in accordance with the instructions noted on it, a NOBO is able to instruct the voting of the Ordinary Shares of the Company owned by the NOBO.

VIFs, whether provided by the Company or by an Intermediary, should be completed and returned in accordance with the specific instructions noted on the VIF. The purpose of this procedure is to permit Non-Registered Holders to direct the voting of the Ordinary Shares of the Company which they beneficially own. Should a Non-Registered Holder who receives a VIF wish to attend the Meeting or have someone else attend on the Non-Registered Holder's behalf, the Non-Registered Holder may request a legal proxy as set forth in the VIF, which will grant the Non-Registered Holder, or the Non-Registered Holder's nominee, the right to attend and vote at the Meeting.

Page 3 of 18


Information Circular for the Meeting of SQID Technologies Limited on 30 May 2025.

Non-Registered Holders should return their voting instructions as specified in the VIF sent to them. Non-Registered Holders should carefully follow the instructions set out in the VIF, including those regarding when and where the VIF is to be delivered.

Although Non-Registered Holders may not be recognized directly at the Meeting for the purpose of voting Ordinary Shares of the Company registered in the name of their broker, agent or nominee, a Non-Registered Holder may attend the Meeting as a proxyholder for a registered shareholder and vote Ordinary Shares in that capacity. Non-Registered Holders who wish to attend the Meeting and indirectly vote their Ordinary Shares as proxyholder for the registered shareholder should contact their broker, agent or nominee well in advance of the Meeting to determine the steps necessary to permit them to indirectly vote their Ordinary Shares as a proxyholder.

Registered Shareholders

Registered shareholders (a shareholder whose name appears on the records of the Company as the registered holder of Ordinary Shares) may wish to vote by proxy whether or not they are able to attend the Meeting in person. Registered shareholders who choose to submit a proxy may do so by:

(a) completing, dating and signing the Proxy and returning it to the Company's transfer agent, Computershare Investor Services Inc. ("Computershare"), by fax within North America at (866) 249-7775 and outside North America at (416) 263-9524, by mail to 8th Floor, 100 University Avenue Toronto, Ontario, M5J 2Y1, or by hand delivery at 3rd Floor, 510 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 3B9; or

(b) use a touch-tone phone to transmit voting choices to the toll-free number given in the Proxy. Registered shareholders who choose this option must follow the instructions of the voice response system and refer to the enclosed Proxy for the toll-free number and the Proxy access number; or

(c) via the internet at Computershare's website, www.investorvote.com. Registered shareholders must follow the instructions that appear on the screen and refer to the enclosed Proxy for the Proxy access number,

in all cases ensuring that the Proxy is received by the cut off time specified in the proxy form or in the event of an adjournment at least 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) before the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof at which the Proxy is to be used.

Notice to Shareholders in the United States

This solicitation of proxies involves securities of an issuer located in Australia and is being effected in accordance with the corporate laws of Australia and the securities laws of applicable provinces of Canada. The proxy solicitation rules under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, are not applicable to the Company or this solicitation, and this solicitation has been prepared in accordance with the disclosure requirements of the securities laws of applicable provinces of Canada. Shareholders should be aware that disclosure requirements under the securities laws of applicable provinces of Canada differ from the disclosure requirements under United States securities laws.

The enforcement by shareholders of civil liabilities under United States federal securities laws may be affected adversely by the fact that the Company is incorporated under the Australian Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (the "Act") and its directors and executive officers are residents of countries that, 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


Information Circular for the Meeting of SQID Technologies Limited on 30 May 2025.

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.

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

To the best of the Board's knowledge, except as otherwise disclosed herein, no person who has been a director or executive officer of the Company at any time since the beginning of the Company's last completed financial year, nor any proposed nominee for election as a director of the Company, nor any associate or affiliate 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 on at the Meeting other than the election of directors or the appointment of auditors.

No group of shareholders of the Company has the right to elect a specified number of directors, nor are there cumulative or similar voting rights attached to the Ordinary Shares.

Information Circular for the Meeting of SQID Technologies Limited on 30 May 2025.

AUDIT COMMITTEE

Under NI52-110 the Company is required to provide certain disclosure with respect to their Audit Committee including the text of the Audit Committee’s charter, the composition of the Audit Committee and the fees paid to the external auditor. The Company’s Audit Committee Charter is attached as Schedule B* to this Information Circular.

The primary purpose of the Audit Committee is to assist the Board of Directors in discharging its oversight and evaluation responsibilities. In particular, the Audit Committee oversees the financial reporting process to ensure the balance, transparency and integrity of our published financial information. The Audit Committee also reviews and reports to the Board of Directors on the quality and integrity of the Financial Statements and other financial information; compliance with legal and regulatory requirements related to financial reporting; the effectiveness of the systems of control (including risk management) established by management to safeguard the assets (real and intangible) of the Company and its subsidiaries; the proper maintenance of accounting and other records; annual and quarterly interim financial information; the independent audit process, including recommending the appointment and compensation of the external auditor, and assessing the qualifications, performance and independence of the external auditor; the performance and objectivity of our internal audit function; all non-audit services; the development and maintenance of procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints received by us regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters and the confidential anonymous submission by employees of the Company and its subsidiaries of concerns regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters; the review of environment, insurance and other liability exposure issues relevant to the affairs of the Company; and any additional matters delegated to the committee by the Board of Directors.

The Audit Committee has the right, for the purposes of performing its duties, to maintain direct communication with the Company’s external auditors and Board of Directors, to inspect all books and records of the Company and its affiliates, to seek any information it requires from any employee of the Company and its affiliates and to retain outside counsel or other experts.

The Audit Committee’s Charter requires the Committee to meet at least once per quarter and to be comprised of not less than three directors, a majority of whom are independent (as defined in NI 52-110) and all “financially literate” within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws. The current structure of the Committee includes three financially literate members of whom two are independent. The Board continues to review the structure of its committees in line with organisational and governance requirements.

Composition and Independence

NI 52-110 provides that a member of an audit committee is “independent” if the member has no direct or indirect material relationship with a company, which could, in the view of that company’s board of directors, reasonably interfere with the exercise of the member’s independent judgement. Michael Clarke is a director of First Growth Funds Limited which is a greater than 10% shareholder of the Company and was the promoter of the Company in 2019 during the time the Company processed its prospectus with the British Columbia Securities Commission. Mr. Clarke is considered independent as he carries out his duties independently of First Growth Funds Limited. Andrew Sterling meets the definition of “independence” provided in NI 52-110. Mr. Lekkas is not independent as he is the CEO of the Company.

Relevant Education and Experience

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


Information Circular for the Meeting of SQID Technologies Limited on 30 May 2025.

issues that are generally comparable to the breadth and complexity of the issues that can reasonably be expected to be raised by the Financial Statements. All of the members of the Audit Committee are financially literate. For details regarding the education, experience and financial literacy of the members of the Audit Committee.

It is intended that the Audit Committee will establish a practice of approving audit and non-audit services provided by the external auditor.

External Auditor Service Fee

The audit fees incurred to its external auditors, Pitcher Partners, Chartered Accountants, by the Company for the last two completed financial years are as follows:

Nature of Service Fees Paid (or accrued) to Auditor in respect of the year ended 31 December 2024 ($) Fees Paid (or accrued) to Auditor in respect of the year ended 31 December 2023 ($) Fees Paid (or accrued) to Auditor in respect of the six month period ended December 31, 2022 ($)
Audit Fees (1) 25,000 57,000 54,000
Audit-Related Fees (2) - - -
Tax fees (3) - 7,930 30,473
All other fees - - -
Total 64,930 64,930 84,473

(1) "Audit Fees" include fees necessary to perform the annual audit and quarterly reviews of the Company's financial statements. Audit Fees include aggregate fees for review of tax provisions and for accounting consultations on matters reflected in the financial statements. Audit Fees also include audit or other attest services required by legislation or regulation, such as comfort letters, consents, reviews of securities filings and statutory audits.

(2) "Audit-Related Fees" include fees for services that are traditionally performed by the auditor.

From these sources, management continues to develop strong relationships and in the event that the Company requires any new directors, such individuals will be brought to the attention of the Board of Directors. The Company will conduct reference and background checks on suitable candidates. New nominees generally must have a track record in business management, areas of strategic interest to the Company, the ability to devote the time required to carry out the obligations and responsibilities of a director and a willingness to serve in that capacity.

Compensation

The Board has adopted a Remuneration Committee Charter. Andrew Sterling and Michel Clarke are the members of this committee.

(a) the Corporation Act, 2001;
(b) the Company's Constitution; and
(c) other applicable laws and Company policies.

Board of Directors

The Board of Directors of the Company facilitates its exercise of independent supervision over the Company's management through frequent meetings of the Board.

The Board approves all significant decisions that affect the Company before they are implemented. The Board supervises their implementation and reviews the results. The Board is actively involved in the Company's strategic planning process. The Board discusses and reviews all materials relating to the strategic plan with management.

The Board is responsible for reviewing and approving the strategic plan. At least one Board meeting each year is devoted to discussing and considering the strategic plan, which takes into account the risks and opportunities of the business. Management must seek the Board's approval for any transaction that would have a significant impact on the strategic plan. The Board periodically reviews the Company's business and implementation of appropriate systems to manage any associated risks, communications with investors and the financial community and the integrity of the Company's internal control and management information systems. The Board also monitors the Company's compliance with its timely disclosure obligations and reviews material disclosure documents prior to distribution.

The Board periodically discusses the systems of internal control with the Company's external auditor. The Board is responsible for choosing the Chief Executive Officer and appointing senior management and for monitoring their performance and developing descriptions of the positions for the Board, including the limits on management's responsibilities and the corporate objectives to be met by the management.

The Board approves all the Company's major communications, including annual and quarterly reports, financing documents and press releases. The Board approves the Company's communication policy that covers the accurate and timely communication of all important information. It is reviewed annually. This policy includes procedures for communicating with analysts by conference calls.

The Board, through its Audit Committee, examines the effectiveness of the Company's internal control processes and management information systems. The Board consults with the internal auditor and management of the Company to ensure the integrity of these systems. The internal auditor submits a report to the Audit Committee each year on the quality of the Company's internal control processes and management information systems.

The Board is responsible for determining whether or not each director is an independent director. Directors who also act as officers of the Company are not considered independent. Directors who do not also act as officers of the Company, do not work in the day-to-day operations of the Company, are not party to any material contracts with the Company, or receive any fees from the Company except as disclosed in this Prospectus.

Michael Clarke is a director of First Growth Funds Limited which is a greater than 10% shareholder of the Company and was the promoter of the Company in 2019 during the time the Company processed its prospectus with the British Columbia Securities Commission. Mr. Clarke is considered independent as he carries out his duties independently of First Growth Funds Limited.

Orientation and Continuing Education

Each new director of the Company is briefed about the nature of the Company's business, its corporate strategy and current issues within the Company. New directors will be encouraged to review the Company's public disclosure records as filed on SEDAR at www.sedarplus.ca after the Company becomes a Reporting Company. Directors are also provided with access to management to better understand the operations of the Company, and to the Company's legal counsel to discuss their legal obligations as directors of the Company.

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 have been sufficient to ensure that the Board operates independently of management and in the best interests of the Company.

Under the corporate legislation, a director is required to act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company and exercise the care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances, and disclose to the board the nature and extent of any interest of the director in any material contract or material transaction, whether made or proposed, if the director is a party to the contract or transaction, is a director or officer (or an individual acting in a similar capacity) of a party to the contract or transaction or has a material interest in a party to the contract or transaction. The director must then abstain from voting on the contract or transaction unless the contract or transaction (i) relates primarily to their remuneration as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or an affiliate of the Company, (ii) is for indemnity or insurance for the benefit of the director in connection with the Company, or (iii) is with an affiliate of the Company. If the director abstains from voting after disclosure of their interest, the directors approve the contract or transaction and the contract or transaction was reasonable and fair to the Company at the time it was entered into, the contract or transaction is not invalid and the director is not accountable to the Company for any profit realized from the contract or transaction. Otherwise, the director must have acted honestly and in good faith, the contract or transaction must have been reasonable and fair to the Company and the contract or transaction be approved by the shareholders by a special resolution after receiving full disclosure of its terms in order for the director to avoid such liability or the contract or transaction being invalid.

Nomination of Directors

The Board of Directors is responsible for identifying individuals qualified to become new Board members and recommending to the Board new director nominees for the next annual meeting of the shareholders. New nominees must have a track record in general business management, special expertise in an area of strategic interest to the Company, the ability to devote the time required, shown support for the Company's mission and strategic objectives, and a willingness to serve.

Compensation

The Board has adopted a Remuneration Committee Charter. The Remuneration Committee Charter sets out the standards and terms for the compensation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer with reference to industry standards and the financial situation of the Company.
