MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR

SOLICITATION OF PROXIES

This management information circular (the "Information Circular") is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by or on behalf of the management of ThreeD Capital Inc. (the "Company", "we" or "us") for use at the annual meeting (the "Meeting") of the shareholders of the Company to be held at the time and place and for the purposes set out in the accompanying Notice of Meeting. Although it is expected that the solicitation of proxies will be primarily by mail, proxies may also be solicited personally or by telephone by directors or officers of the Company. Arrangements will also be made with clearing agencies, brokerage houses and other financial intermediaries to forward proxy solicitation material to the beneficial owners of common shares of the Company pursuant to the requirements of National Instrument 54-101 - Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer. The cost of any such solicitation will be borne by the Company.

Unless otherwise stated, the information contained in this Information Circular is given as at March 16, 2026.

APPOINTMENT AND REVOCABILITY OF PROXY

The persons named in the enclosed form of proxy are officers and/or directors of the Company. A SHAREHOLDER DESIRING TO APPOINT SOME OTHER PERSON TO REPRESENT THE SHAREHOLDER AT THE MEETING MAY DO SO either by inserting such person's name in the blank space provided in that form of proxy or by completing another proper form of proxy and, in either case, depositing the completed proxy at the office of the registrar and transfer agent of the Company, TSX Trust Company, Suite 301, 100 Adelaide Street West, Toronto, Ontario M5H 4H1, not later than 11:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on May 1, 2026 or, if the Meeting is adjourned or postponed, on the day that is two business days preceding the adjournment or postponement.

In addition to revocation in any other manner permitted by law, a shareholder who has given a proxy may revoke it as to any matter upon which a vote has not already been cast pursuant to the authority conferred by the proxy as set forth below. A shareholder may revoke a proxy by depositing an instrument in writing, executed by the shareholder or the shareholder's attorney authorized in writing:

  1. at the offices of TSX Trust Company in the manner noted above, at any time, not less than 48 hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, preceding the Meeting or any adjournment of the Meeting at which the proxy is to be used;
  2. at the registered office of the Company, 130 Spadina Avenue, Suite 401, Toronto, Ontario M5V 2L4, at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the day of the Meeting at which the proxy is to be used; or
  3. with the chairman of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting or any adjournment of the Meeting.

The information provided in this section pertains only to registered shareholders of the Company. If you are not a registered shareholder, refer to the section that follows entitled "Non-registered Holders".


3

NON-REGISTERED HOLDERS

Only registered shareholders or duly appointed proxyholders are permitted to vote at the Meeting. Most of our shareholders are “non-registered” shareholders because the common shares they own are not registered in their names but are instead registered in the name of the brokerage firm, bank, or trust company through which they purchased the shares. A person is not a registered shareholder in respect of our common shares which are held either: (a) in the name of an intermediary that the non-registered shareholder deals with in respect of the common shares (an intermediary includes, among others, banks, trust companies, securities dealers or brokers and trustees or administrators of self-administered RRSP’s, RRIF’s, RESP’s and similar plans); or (b) in the name of a clearing agency (such as The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited), of which the intermediary is a participant.

This Information Circular and associated materials for the Meeting (collectively, the “Meeting Materials”) are being sent to both registered and non-registered shareholders. A non-registered shareholder will receive Meeting Materials from either the intermediary who holds their common shares or directly from us (or our agent). If you are a non-registered shareholder and we or our agent have sent the Meeting Materials directly to you, your name and address and information about your holdings of our common shares have been obtained in accordance with applicable securities regulatory requirements from the intermediary holding the common shares on your behalf. By choosing to send these materials to you directly, we (and not the intermediary holding on your behalf) have assumed responsibility for (i) delivering these materials to you, and (ii) executing your proper voting instructions. Included in your Meeting Materials is a voting instruction form. You must complete the form and return it containing your voting instructions as specified in the form in order for your common shares to be voted at the Meeting.

If you are a non-registered shareholder and object to us receiving access to your personal name and address, we have provided these documents to your broker, custodian, fiduciary or other intermediary to forward to you. Please follow the voting instructions that you receive from your intermediary. Your intermediary is responsible for properly executing your voting instructions. The Company intends to pay for intermediaries to deliver such Meeting Materials to “objecting beneficial owners” as defined in National Instrument 54-101 (“NI 54-101”).

The purpose of these procedures is to permit non-registered shareholders to direct the voting of the common shares which they beneficially own. If you receive a voting instruction form with your Meeting Materials and you want to vote at the Meeting in person, you must insert your name in the blank space provided or the name of someone else who will attend the Meeting on your behalf, instead of filling in the voting instructions in the form, and return the form as specified in it. When you arrive at the Meeting, you or the person that you have designated on your voting instruction form to attend on your behalf will then have to register with the scrutineers.

The Company is using the “notice-and-access” provisions of NI 54-101 in connection with the delivery of the Meeting Materials.

VOTING OF PROXIES

Common shares represented by properly executed proxies 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 MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON, THE SHARES WILL BE VOTED ACCORDINGLY. Where there is no choice specified, shares represented by properly executed proxies in favour of persons designated in the printed portion of the enclosed form of proxy WILL BE VOTED FOR EACH OF THE MATTERS TO BE VOTED ON BY SHAREHOLDERS AS DESCRIBED IN THIS INFORMATION CIRCULAR. The enclosed form of proxy confers discretionary authority upon the


persons named therein with respect to amendments or variations to matters identified in the notice of Meeting, or other matters which may properly come before the Meeting. At the time of printing this Information Circular, the management of the Company knows of no such amendments, variations or other matters to come before the Meeting. However, if any other matters which at present are not known to management should properly come before the Meeting, the proxy will be voted on such matters in accordance with the best judgment of the named proxies.

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

No director or executive officer of the Company, no nominee for election as a director of the Company, no person who has been a director or executive officer of the Company since the commencement of the Company's last completed financial year, and no associate or affiliate of any of the foregoing persons has any material interest, direct or indirect, by way of beneficial ownership of securities or otherwise, in any matter to be acted upon at the Meeting.

VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS THEREOF

The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of common shares, of which as at March 16, 2026, 94,287,635 common shares are issued and outstanding. To the knowledge of the directors and executive officers of the Company as of the date of this Information Circular, the only person or company known to the Company, its directors and officers to beneficially own, directly or indirectly, or exercise control or direction over shares carrying more than 10% of the voting rights attached to the outstanding common shares is Sheldon Inwentash who holds directly and indirectly 18,541,266 common shares (representing approximately 19.7% of the outstanding common shares of the Company).

The holders of common shares of record at the close of business on the record date set by the directors of the Company to be March 16, 2026, are entitled to vote such common shares at the Meeting on the basis of one vote for each common share held.

The outstanding shares are listed for trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange ("CSE") under the symbol "IDK" and on the OTCQX Best Market under the symbol "IDKFF".

PARTICULARS OF MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON

I. Financial Statements

The audited financial statements of the Company for the financial year ended June 30, 2025, together with the auditors' report thereon, will be placed before shareholders at the Meeting.

II. Election of Directors

Majority Voting Policy

The board of directors has adopted a majority voting policy which requires that any nominee for election as a director in an uncontested election, who receives a greater number of votes "withheld" from his or her election than votes "for" such election, promptly tender his or her resignation to the board, to be effective upon the board's acceptance. The board will promptly, and in any event within 90 days of the final voting results, accept the tendered resignation unless it determines that there are extraordinary circumstances relating to the composition of the board or the voting results that should delay the acceptance of the resignation or justify rejecting it. Subject to any corporate law restrictions, the board may leave a resulting vacancy unfilled until the next annual meeting of shareholders, fill the resulting vacancy through the


appointment of a new director, or call a special meeting of shareholders to consider another nominee for election to fill the vacancy.

Nominees For Election

At the Meeting, management of the Company proposes to nominate the persons listed below for election as directors (the “Nominees”). Each director will hold office until the election of his successor at the next annual meeting of shareholders, or any adjournment thereof, or until his office is earlier vacated in accordance with the provisions of the Canada Business Corporations Act. The following table provides the names of the Nominees and information concerning them. The persons named in the enclosed form of proxy intend to vote FOR the election of each of the Nominees. Management does not contemplate that any of the Nominees will be unable to serve as a director, however, if any Nominee is so unavailable, proxies in favour of management will be voted for another nominee in management’s discretion unless the shareholder has specified in the shareholder’s proxy that the shareholder’s shares are to be withheld from voting in the election of the Nominee.

Cease Trade Orders, Bankruptcies, Penalties or Sanctions

No proposed director of the Company is, or within the 10 years prior to the date of this Information Circular, either:

(i) has been a director, chief executive officer or chief financial officer of any company that while that person was acting in that capacity:

(a) was the subject to a cease trade or similar order or an order that denied the relevant company access to any exemption under securities legislation, for a period of more than 30 consecutive days (any of such orders, an “Order”);

(b) was subject to an Order that was issued after the proposed director ceased to be a director, chief executive officer or chief financial officer and which resulted from an event that occurred while that person was acting in the capacity as director, chief executive officer or chief financial officer; or

(c) 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

(ii) has individually, within the 10 years prior to this Information 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 his assets; or

(iii) has been subject to:

(a) any penalties or sanctions imposed by a court relating to Canadian securities legislation or by a Canadian securities regulatory authority or has entered into a settlement agreement with a Canadian securities regulatory authority; or

(b) any other penalties or sanctions imposed by a court or regulatory body that would likely be considered important to a reasonable securityholder in deciding whether to vote for a proposed director.

III. Appointment of Auditors

Unless such authority is withheld, the persons named in the enclosed form of proxy intend to vote FOR the appointment of Davidson & Company LLP, as auditors of the Company to hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders, and to authorize the directors of the Company to fix the auditors’ remuneration. Davidson & Company LLP were appointed auditors of the Company as of April 15, 2025, prior to which MNP LLP served as the Company’s auditors since June 18, 2018.

In the past, the directors have negotiated with the auditors of the Company on an arm’s length basis in determining the fees to be paid to the auditors. Such fees have been based on the complexity of the matters in question and the time incurred by the auditors. The directors believe that the fees negotiated in the past with the auditors of the Company were reasonable and in the circumstances would be comparable to fees charged by other auditors providing similar services.

In order to appoint Davidson & Company LLP as auditors of the Company to hold office until the close of the next annual meeting, and authorize the directors to fix the remuneration thereof, a majority of the votes cast at the Meeting must be voted in favour thereof.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

The Company’s executive compensation structure is designed to encourage and motivate executives to achieve high levels of performance, both individually and for the Company, particularly over the medium-to-long term. An executive’s overall compensation package in any given year will reflect the functions being performed, and the executive’s overall contribution to the organization, capacity to improve the Company’s performance, and ability to create (or help to create) value for the benefit of the Company’s shareholders.

An executive’s compensation may be comprised of three principal components: base salary, annual or periodic cash bonuses and stock options. Base salary and cash bonus components motivate executives in the short-to-medium term, while stock option grants align their interests with those of the Company’s shareholders and assist in keeping the Company competitive in the market for high quality executives.

Each component of an executive’s compensation is typically determined with an overall view to the individual’s total compensation package.

Except as otherwise described below, there are no specific performance goals used in determining the compensation of executive officers. As a junior investment company, without a reoccurring revenue or profit base, executive compensation is not tied to quantitative measures of the Company’s performance. Compensation may, however, be tied to certain qualitative measures of performance. For example, an executive’s contribution toward the achievement of certain strategic objectives (e.g., meeting operational targets or completing acquisitions or financings) may be considered for the purposes of determining an entitlement to (and quantum of) a cash bonus and/or option grant. The same may also be a factor in determining salary increases.

Disclosed elsewhere in this section of the Information Circular are details concerning the compensation paid to the Company’s “Named Executive Officers”. The Named Executive Officers are the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and its three highest paid executive officers, other than the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, whose total compensation for the fiscal 2025 year was greater than $150,000, as calculated in accordance with the requirements of National Instrument 51-102 – Continuous Disclosure Obligations (“NI 51-102”). The Named Executive Officers for 2025 are: Sheldon Inwentash, Chief Executive Officer; and Matthew Davis, Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary.

Salary

Amounts paid to an executive officer as base salary, including merit salary increases, are determined by reference to the individual’s performance and the nature of the Company’s business and its performance. Reference may also be made to salaries prevailing in the marketplace for comparable positions, though the Company has not formally identified a peer group of companies for comparative purposes. Certain of the Named Executive Officers provide their services in similar capacities to other reporting issuers in addition to the Company and, accordingly, base salaries for these individuals are generally lower than what they would be for comparable full-time positions with other junior investment companies.


8

Bonus

The Company’s cash bonus awards are designed to reward an executive for the direct contribution which the executive can make to the Company.

With the exception of the Chief Executive Officer, whose annual bonus entitlement is determined by a formula (discussed below), the Named Executive Officers receive discretionary cash bonuses from time to time as determined by the Chief Executive Officer and approved by the compensation committee.

In addition to discretionary bonuses, effective January 1, 2021, the Company adopted a cash-based performance bonus calculation for the CEO, calculated as 5% of the increase in retained earnings, adjusted for the aggregate amount of the Company’s tax expense (if any) and adjusted for any decrease to shareholders’ equity of the Company arising from any declaration of dividends. Effective for the year ended June 30, 2024, the Company adopted a new cash-based performance bonus calculation for the CEO, calculated as 5% of the increase in net asset value (“NAV”), measured from June 30, 2023. For subsequent periods, the performance bonus is calculated based on the increase in NAV relative to the higher of: (i) the NAV for the most recent period in which a performance bonus was paid, or (ii) the NAV for the immediately preceding fiscal year. NAV is defined as total assets less total liabilities, as reported on the Company’s statement of financial position.

In fiscal year 2024 the Chief Executive Officer was paid a total of $264,609 for the performance bonus.

In fiscal year 2025, no performance bonus was paid to the CEO. However, the Chief Executive Officer received a discretionary cash bonus of $150,000 during the year.

Compensation Risk

As discussed above, our compensation practices are relatively informal and involve a mix of salary, stock options and annual cash bonuses determined in view of an individual’s and the Company’s overall performance, without specific performance goals (subject to the noted exceptions). The mix of components represents a balanced approach, combining fixed and variable pay and short-to-long term incentives. Salary, bonuses and option grants for the Company’s executive officers are also reviewed and/or approved by the compensation committee, which acts as a control on the quantum of these compensation components in view of their discretionary nature.

The compensation committee considered the Company’s compensation practices to determine whether they are likely to encourage executive officers to expose the Company to inappropriate or excessive risks. The committee concluded that there are no risks identified from the Company’s compensation policies and practices that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Restrictions on Hedging Securities

The Company’s directors and officers, including the Named Executive Officers, are not prohibited from purchasing financial instruments that could be used to hedge a decrease in the market value of equity securities granted to them as compensation or held, directly or indirectly, by them.


9

Option-Based Awards

Options are granted pursuant to the Stock Option Plan (as defined below) of the Company. The Stock Option Plan is administered by the board of directors, which has the authority to amend the plan and the terms of outstanding options, subject to applicable regulatory and shareholder approvals.

Generally, the Chief Executive Officer proposes option grants for executive officers which are then submitted to the board for its consideration and approval. When considering an award of options to an executive officer, consideration of the number of options previously granted to the executive may be taken into account.

During the fiscal year 2025, Sheldon Inwentash was granted the following options: 950,000 options exercisable at $0.25 per share expiring on September 6, 2029 and 1,200,000 options exercisable at $0.25 per share expiring on January 21, 2030.

During the fiscal year 2025, Lancaster Capital Advisory Corp., a private company affiliated with Mr. Davis, was granted 350,000 options exercisable at $0.25 per share expiring on January 21, 2030.

Compensation Governance

The compensation committee assists the board of the directors in respect of compensation for the Company's directors and officers. As described earlier, the Company's compensation practices are relatively informal and, except as otherwise indicated, the board of directors has not specifically adopted any formal policies or practices to determine director and officer compensation.

Information regarding the compensation committee is provided elsewhere in this Information Circular in the section entitled "Corporate Governance". During the 2025 fiscal year, the members of the compensation committee who are also on the audit committee were Wayne V. Isaacs, Steven Gray and Alan Myers who are all independent from the Company.

Mr. Issacs, Mr. Gray, and Mr. Myers have previously served and/or currently serves on the audit committees and compensation committees of other public companies. Accordingly, they bring to the committee an understanding of financial and risk management matters relating to the Company specifically, as well as those matters in the context of other issuers, which enables the committee, as a whole, to make decisions concerning our compensation policies and practices. The responsibilities of the compensation committee are described in the section of this Information Circular entitled "Corporate Governance – Compensation" and their involvement in the determination of the Named Executive Officers' compensation is described earlier in this section.

Equity Compensation Plans

Stock Option Plan

The Company established a stock option plan in 2006 (the "Stock Option Plan"), which was approved by the shareholders at its annual and special meeting held that year and each necessary year since, subject to certain amendments approved in 2016 and 2018. The Stock Option Plan was most recently confirmed by shareholders on March 12, 2024.

The Stock Option Plan is a "rolling" plan pursuant to which up to 20% of the number of the Company's common shares outstanding from time to time may be issued upon exercise of options granted thereunder. As at March 16, 2026, an aggregate of 10,896,667 common shares were issuable pursuant to outstanding options, representing 11.6% of the total number of common shares outstanding as at that date. Accordingly,


based upon the 94,287,635 common shares outstanding as at March 16, 2026, additional options exercisable for up to 7,960,860 common shares may be granted under the Stock Option Plan.

The Company’s directors, officers, employees and certain other service providers are eligible to participate in the Stock Option Plan, subject to the rules and regulations of applicable regulatory authorities and any Canadian stock exchange upon which the common shares may be listed or may trade from time to time. The number of common shares reserved for issue to any one person pursuant to the Stock Option Plan may not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares at the date of grant. The exercise price of options granted may not be less than the market price of the common shares (determined based upon the closing price of the common shares on the trading day prior to the date of grant, subject to certain exceptions) less any allowable discounts at the time the option is granted. Options granted under the Stock Option Plan may not have a term exceeding five years.

RSU Plan

The Company established a restricted share unit plan in 2025 (the “RSU Plan”), which was approved by the shareholders at its annual and special meeting held that year, on June 18, 2025.

The purpose of the RSU Plan is to allow for certain discretionary bonuses and similar awards as an incentive and reward for selected eligible persons related to the achievement of long-term financial and strategic objectives of the Company and the resulting increases in shareholder value. The RSU Plan is intended to promote a greater alignment of interests between the shareholders of the Company and the selected eligible persons by providing an opportunity to participate in increases in the value of the Company.

The Company’s directors, officers, employees and certain other service providers are eligible to participate in the RSU Plan, subject to the rules and regulations of applicable regulatory authorities and any Canadian stock exchange upon which the common shares may be listed or may trade from time to time.

Pursuant to the RSU Plan, a total of 10% of the number of the Company’s common shares outstanding from time to time may be issued upon vested RSUs granted thereunder. As at March 16, 2026, nil common shares were issuable pursuant to the outstanding RSUs as no RSUs have been granted by the Company. Accordingly, based upon the 94,287,635 common shares outstanding as at March 16, 2026, additional RSUs for up to 9,428,762 common shares may be granted under the RSU Plan.

RSUs are akin to "phantom shares" that track the value of the underlying common shares but do not entitle the recipient to the actual underlying common shares until such RSUs vest. Upon vesting, the RSUs will be converted on a one-for-one basis for freely tradable, non-restricted common shares of the Company (subject to a statutory four month hold period from the date of grant). The Company will pay out vested RSUs on or subsequent to the "trigger date" being December 1 of the third calendar year after the date of grant of the RSU or such earlier date as may be established by the Board, however in no event shall the Company pay out vested RSUs after their respective expiry date.

The Board may, in its discretion, at any time, and from time to time, grant RSUs to eligible persons as it determines is appropriate, subject to the limitations set out in the RSU Plan. In making such grants the Board may impose such conditions on the vesting of the awards as it sees fit, including performance-based conditions and/or imposing a vesting period on grants of RSUs. The aggregate number of common shares available for issuance from treasury under the RSU Plan, shall not exceed such number of common shares as is equal to 10% of the aggregate number of issued and outstanding common shares from time to time.

Effective January 1, 2021, the Company adopted a new cash-based performance bonus calculation for Mr. Inwentash which is calculated as 5% of the increase from the December 31, 2020 retained earnings, adjusted for the aggregate amount of the Company's tax expense (if any) and adjusted for any decrease to shareholders' equity of the Company arising from any declaration of dividends. Effective for the year ended June 30, 2024, the Company adopted a new cash-based performance bonus calculation for the CEO, calculated as 5% of the increase in NAV, measured from June 30, 2023. For subsequent periods, the performance bonus is calculated based on the increase in NAV relative to the higher of: (i) the NAV for the most recent period in which a performance bonus was paid, or (ii) the NAV for the immediately preceding fiscal year. No performance bonus was paid to the CEO during the fiscal year 2025. However, Mr. Inwentash received a discretionary cash bonus of $150,000 during the year.

Sheldon Inwentash

If the Company terminates its consulting agreement with Mr. Inwentash for any reason (other than death, disability or certain other enumerated reasons), in the absence of three years’ notice, it must continue to pay three years’ fees and health and other benefits, and any bonus owed in the year of termination and for the following three years. Based upon the foregoing terms, if Mr. Inwentash’s services had been terminated by the Company on June 30, 2025, absent notice, he would have been entitled to receive $1,800,000 in aggregate fees payable monthly over the subsequent thirty-six month period.

INDEBTEDNESS OF DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

No individual who is, or at any time during the most recently completed financial year of the Company was, a director, executive officer, employee or former director, executive officer or employee of the Company, a nominee for election as a director, or any of their associates, is indebted to the Company or any subsidiary of the Company as of the date of this Information Circular or was so indebted at any time during the last completed fiscal year of the Company, nor have any such individuals been or are they currently indebted to another entity where such indebtedness is or has been the subject of a guarantee, support agreement, letter of credit or other similar arrangement provided by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company, in each case other than as set forth below.

INTEREST OF INFORMED PERSONS IN MATERIAL TRANSACTIONS

No informed person, proposed director of the Company or associate or affiliate of any informed person or proposed director has any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction since the commencement of the Company's most recently completed financial year or in any proposed transaction which has materially affected or would materially affect the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

For the purposes of this section of the Information Circular, an “informed person” means:

(i) a director or executive officer of the Company;

(ii) a director or executive officer of a person or company that is itself an informed person or subsidiary of the Company;

(iii) any person or company who beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, voting securities of the Company or who exercises control or direction over voting securities of the Company or a combination of both carrying more than 10 percent of the voting rights attached to all outstanding voting securities of the Company other than voting securities held by the person or company as underwriter in the course of a distribution; and

(iv) the Company, if it has purchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired any of its securities, for so long as it holds any of its securities.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

General

The board believes that good corporate governance improves corporate performance and benefits all shareholders. National Policy 58-201 - Corporate Governance Guidelines provides non-prescriptive guidelines on corporate governance practices for reporting issuers such as the Company. In addition, National Instrument 58-101 - Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices (“NI 58-101”) prescribes certain disclosure by the Company of its corporate governance practices. This disclosure is presented below.

Board of Directors

The board facilitates its exercise of independent supervision over the Company's management through frequent meetings of the board, both with and without members of the Company's management (including members of management that are also directors) being in attendance.

National Instrument 52-110 – Audit Committees of certain of the Canadian securities regulatory authorities (“NI 52-110”) sets out the standard for determining whether a director is “independent” for the purposes of the corporate governance guidelines and disclosure requirements of the Canadian securities regulatory authorities. In accordance with NI 52-110, a director is “independent” if he or she has no direct or indirect material relationship with the Company. A “material relationship” is a relationship which could, in the view of the board, be reasonably expected to interfere with the exercise of the director’s independent judgment. NI 52-110 also sets out certain circumstances where a director will automatically be considered to have a material relationship with the Company.

Based upon the standard articulated in NI 52-110, three of the Company’s six directors are independent. As the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Sheldon Inwentash is not independent. As an employee of the Company, Jakson Inwentash in not independent. As a former officer within the last three years, Gerry Feldman is not independent.


18

Directorships

Certain directors of the Company are also directors of other reporting issuers, as follows:

Director Other Reporting Issuers
Sheldon Inwentash Nirvana Life Sciences Inc.
Jakson Inwentash First Tidal Acquisition Corp., Kleen HY-DRO-GEN Inc., and Nirvana Life Sciences Inc.
Wayne V. Isaacs Delta Uranium Inc., AM Resources Corp., and Goliath Resources Limited
Gerry Feldman EarthLabs Inc.

Orientation and Continuing Education

Each new director brings a different skill set and professional background, and with this information, the board is able to determine what orientation to the nature and operations of the Company's business will be necessary and relevant to the director. The Company provides continuing education for its directors as such need arises and encourages open discussion at all meetings which format encourages learning by the directors.

Ethical Business Conduct

The board expects management to operate the business of the Company in a manner that enhances shareholder value and is consistent with the highest level of integrity. Management is expected to execute the Company's business plan and to meet performance objectives and goals.

In addition, the board must comply with conflict of interest provisions in Canadian corporate law, including relevant securities regulatory instruments, in order to ensure directors exercise independent judgment in considering transactions and agreements in respect of which director or executive officer has a material interest.

Nomination of Directors

The board determines new nominees to the board, although a formal process has not been adopted. The nominees are generally the result of recruitment efforts by the board members, including both formal and informal discussions among board members and the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The board monitors but does not formally assess the performance of individual board members or committee members on their contributions.

Compensation

Director and chief executive officer compensation is determined by the compensation committee, in consideration of the compensation paid by other similarly-situation public companies operating within the same industry as the Company and of the duties, responsibilities and demands placed upon the members of the board and the chief executive officer, respectively. The compensation committee is also responsible for determining and approving the compensation of the Company's other officers and recommending to the board for approval the remuneration of the directors and committee members.


19

Assessments

The board has not implemented a formal process or means to regularly assess the effectiveness of the board, its committees or individual directors. Effectiveness is informally assessed on an ongoing basis, however, based upon the ability of the directors to fulfill their duties and responsibilities in a timely and efficient manner. The relatively small size of the board allows for the contributions of an individual director to be informally monitored by the other board members, in light of the individual’s business and governance strengths and the specific purpose, if any, for which the individual was originally nominated to the board. In accordance with its charter, the audit committee is required to annually assess its charter and submit any proposed changes to the board for approval.

Board Diversity

In 2019, amendments to the Canada Business Corporations Act (the “CBCA”) were adopted requiring new disclosure of the number of (i) women; (ii) Aboriginal peoples; (iii) people with disabilities; and (iv) members of visible minorities (collectively, the “designated groups”) on the board and in senior management positions with the Company. Presently, none of the Company’s directors or members of senior management (0%) belong to any of the designated groups.

The Company recognizes the benefits of having a diverse board and management. Due to the relatively small size of the board and stage of development of the Company, it has not adopted a formal diversity policy in respect of the designated groups, and instead has sought to increase diversity through the recruitment efforts of its officers and directors. The Company remains receptive to increasing the diversity of its board and management taking into account the skills, background, experience and knowledge desired at any particular time by the board and its committees.

The Company has not adopted term limits for directors and does not support the adoption of quotas or targets regarding representation by the designated groups on the board or in senior management positions. All such appointments and renewals are made based on merit, in the context of the skills, experience, independence, knowledge and other qualities which the Company as a whole requires to be effective, with due regard for the benefits of diversity (including the level of representation by members of the designated groups). The Company considers the representation of the designated groups in identifying and nominating new directors and members of senior management. In order to gather the information required to assess levels of diversity for the Company to comply with the new diversity disclosure requirements under the CBCA, exiting and proposed directors and members of senior management of the Company will be asked whether they self-identify as belonging to one or more of the designated groups, on a voluntary basis. All responses will be considered in the context of the broader skills matrix sought by the Company for its respective positions from time to time.

The Company feels its corporate governance practices are appropriate and effective, given its relatively small size and the nature of its operations. These practices allow the Company to operate efficiently, with simple checks and balances that control and monitor management and corporate functions without excess administrative burden or delay.
