The Corporation’s accompanying Information Circular provides additional information relating to each of the matters to be addressed at the Meeting and is deemed to form part of this Notice of Meeting. The board of directors of the Corporation has fixed November 4, 2020 as the record date (the “ Record Date ”) for the determination of Shareholders entitled to receive notice of and vote at the Meeting. Any persons who were not holders of Common Shares and who acquired Common Shares after the Record Date will not be entitled to receive notice of or vote those Common Shares at the Meeting.

A Shareholder may attend the Meeting in person or may be represented by proxy. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic, and the British Columbia government declared a state of emergency in the same month and introduced plans to reduce public gatherings and non-essential travel. In light of ongoing concerns related to the spread of COVID-19, Shareholders are strongly encouraged not to attend the Meeting but instead to vote on matters at the Meeting by proxy.

Whether or not Shareholders are able to attend the Meeting, Shareholders are encouraged to read, complete, sign, date and return the enclosed form of proxy in accordance with the instructions set out in the proxy and in the Information Circular. In order to be valid for use at the Meeting, proxies must be received by Computershare Investor Services Inc. (“ Computershare ”), at its office at 510 Burrard Street, 3rd Floor, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6C 3B9, or by its toll free fax number 1-604-661-9549 by 10:00 a.m. (Vancouver Time) on December 4, 2020 or, in the event of a postponement or adjournment of the Meeting, at least forty-eight (48) hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) prior to the time of the Meeting. Please advise Computershare of any change in your mailing address. The time limit for deposit of proxies may be waived or extended by the Chairman of the Meeting at his or her discretion, without notice.

The Corporation will follow the guidance and orders of government and public health authorities regarding COVID-19, including those restricting the size of public gatherings. To help mitigate the risk of the spread of COVID-19, the Meeting will be made available by teleconference call, and all Shareholders are encouraged to vote on the matters at the Meeting by proxy, using our management proxyholder(s) to limit the number of attendees, and to listen to the Meeting by teleconference call. Only registered Shareholders, non-registered Shareholders who have followed the procedures described in the Information Circular and their respective proxyholders will be entitled to attend the Meeting in person. You should not attend the Meeting if you or someone with whom you have been in close contact with are experiencing any cold or flulike symptoms, or if you or someone with whom you have been in close contact have travelled to/from outside of Canada within the fourteen (14) days prior to the Meeting.

A Shareholder who does not attend the Meeting in person may listen to the Meeting through teleconference call, commencing at 10:00 a.m. (Vancouver time) on December 8, 2020; however, such Shareholders will not be able to vote or speak at, or otherwise participate in, the Meeting via the teleconference call. Such Shareholders may also submit questions in advance of the Meeting by email to [email protected], which may, subject to Shareholder verification and confirmation of the relevance and subject matter, be addressed at the Meeting. The toll-free dial-in number for participants is (877) 205-6682, conference ID: 5158476026. All Shareholders are strongly encouraged to vote prior to the Meeting by any of the means described in the Information Circular. There will be no voting via teleconference at the Meeting.

The Corporation may take any additional precautionary measures that we consider necessary in relation to the Meeting in response to further developments in the COVID-19 outbreak, including: (a) holding the Meeting virtually or by providing a webcast of the Meeting; (b) hosting the Meeting solely by means of remote communication; (c) changing the Meeting date and/or changing the means of holding the Meeting; (d) denying access to persons who exhibit cold or flu-like symptoms or who have or have been in contact with someone who has travelled outside of Canada within the fourteen (14) days immediately prior to the Meeting; and (e) such other measures as may be recommended by public health authorities in connection with gatherings of persons, such as the Meeting. Should we determine that changes to the Meeting are required, we will announce these changes by news release, which will be filed on SEDAR. We recommend that you view our SEDAR profile prior to the Meeting for the most current information. We do not intend to prepare or mail amended proxy and Meeting materials if changes are required to the format of the Meeting.

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR

November 6, 2020

THIS MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR (THE “INFORMATION CIRCULAR”) IS FURNISHED IN CONNECTION WITH THE SOLICITATION OF PROXIES BY AND ON BEHALF OF MANAGEMENT OF BRACHIUM CAPITAL CORP. (THE “CORPORATION”) FOR USE AT THE ANNUAL AND SPECIAL MEETING (THE “MEETING”) OF THE SHAREHOLDERS OF THE CORPORATION (THE “SHAREHOLDERS”) TO BE HELD AT 1800 - 510 WEST GEORGIA STREET, VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA ON TUESDAY, DECEMBER 8, 2020, AT 10:00 A.M. (VANCOUVER TIME) OR ANY ADJOURNMENT OR POSTPONEMENT THEREOF FOR THE PURPOSES SET FORTH IN THE ACCOMPANYING NOTICE OF MEETING (THE “NOTICE OF MEETING”). Unless otherwise stated, the information contained in this Information Circular is given as at November 6, 2020.

SPECIAL MEASURES IN RESPONSE TO COVID-19

While as of the date of this Notice of Meeting and accompanying Information Circular, the Corporation intends to hold the Meeting in physical in-person format, it is continuously monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic. In light of the evolving news and guidelines related to COVID-19, the Corporation asks that, in considering whether to attend the Meeting in person, Shareholders follow, among other things, the instructions of the Public Health Agency of Canada (https://www.canada.ca/en/publichealth/services/diseases/coronavirus-disease-covid-19.html) and any applicable additional provincial and local instructions. Shareholders should not attend the Meeting in person if they are experiencing any cold or flu-like symptoms, or if they or someone with whom they have been in close contact have travelled to/from outside of Canada within the fourteen (14) days prior to the Meeting.

The Corporation reserves the right to take any additional precautionary measures it deems appropriate in relation to the Meeting in response to further developments in respect of the COVID-19 outbreak including, if considered necessary or advisable, providing a virtual webcast version of the Meeting and/or hosting the Meeting solely by means of remote communication, placing restrictions on in-person attendance, or postponing or adjourning the Meeting. Changes to the Meeting date and/or means of holding the Meeting may be announced by way of news release. If applicable and as appropriate, the Corporation will provide required information on the logistical details of a virtual or hybrid Meeting including how a Shareholder can remotely access, participate in and vote at a Meeting. An amended Information Circular will not be mailed out in the event of changes to the Meeting format.

Due to the uncertainty regarding restrictions on in-person gatherings due to COVID-19 at the time of the Meeting, the Corporation has decided to also permit Shareholders to attend the Meeting via teleconference call. The toll-free dial-in number for participants is (877) 205-6682, conference ID: 5158476026. All Shareholders are strongly encouraged to vote prior to the Meeting by any of the means described in the Information Circular. There will be no voting via teleconference at the Meeting.

GENERAL PROXY INFORMATION

Solicitation of Proxies

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, officers or regular employees of the Corporation. Pursuant to National Instrument 54-101 – Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer (“ NI 54-101 ”), arrangements have been made with clearing agencies, brokerage houses and other financial intermediaries to forward proxy solicitation materials to the beneficial owners of the class A common shares

CAN_DMS: \136063744\7

1

in the capital of the Corporation (the “ Common Shares ”). The cost of any such solicitation will be borne by the Corporation.

Appointment of Proxyholders

THE PERSONS NAMED IN THE ENCLOSED FORM OF PROXY ARE DIRECTORS AND/OR OFFICERS OF THE CORPORATION. A SHAREHOLDER HAS THE RIGHT TO APPOINT A PERSON (WHO NEED NOT BE A SHAREHOLDER) TO ATTEND, ACT AND VOTE FOR SUCH SHAREHOLDER AT THE MEETING OTHER THAN THOSE PERSONS NAMED IN THE ENCLOSED FORM OF PROXY. A SHAREHOLDER DESIRING TO APPOINT SOME PERSON OTHER THAN THOSE NAMED IN THE ENCLOSED FORM OF PROXY TO REPRESENT SUCH SHAREHOLDER AT THE MEETING MAY DO SO EITHER BY INSERTING SUCH PERSON’S NAME IN THE BLANK SPACE PROVIDED IN THE ENCLOSED FORM OF PROXY AND STRIKING OUT THE NAMES OF THE TWO SPECIFIED PERSONS OR BY COMPLETING ANOTHER PROPER FORM OF PROXY AND, IN EITHER CASE, DELIVERING THE COMPLETED FORM OF PROXY TO THE CORPORATION, C/O COMPUTERSHARE INVESTOR SERVICES INC. (“COMPUTERSHARE”), THE CORPORATION’S REGISTRAR AND TRANSFER AGENT, AT 510 BURRARD STREET, 3RD FLOOR, VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA V6C 3B9 (FAX: 1-604-661-9549), BY NO LATER THAN 10:00 A.M. (VANCOUVER TIME) ON FRIDAY DECEMBER 4, 2020, OR, IN THE CASE OF ANY ADJOURNMENT OR POSTPONEMENT OF THE MEETING, BY NO LATER THAN FORTY-EIGHT (48) HOURS (EXCLUDING SATURDAYS, SUNDAYS AND STATUTORY HOLIDAYS IN THE PROVINCE OF BRITISH COLUMBIA) PRIOR TO THE TIME OF HOLDING OF THE MEETING OR ANY ADJOURNMENT OR POSTPONEMENT THEREOF.

Voting by Proxyholder

The persons named in the form of proxy will vote or withhold from voting the Common Shares represented thereby in accordance with the instructions of the Shareholders appointing such persons as proxy. If you specify a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, your Common Shares will be voted accordingly. IN RESPECT OF A MATTER FOR WHICH A CHOICE IS NOT SPECIFIED IN THE FORM OF 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 FORM OF PROXY.

THE ENCLOSED FORM OF PROXY CONFERS DISCRETIONARY AUTHORITY UPON THE PERSON OR PERSONS NAMED THEREIN WITH RESPECT TO AMENDMENTS OR VARIATIONS TO MATTERS IDENTIFIED IN THE NOTICE OF MEETING TO WHICH THE FORM OF PROXY RELATES AND WITH RESPECT TO OTHER MATTERS WHICH MAY PROPERLY COME BEFORE THE MEETING. As at the date of this Information Circular, management of the Corporation knows of no such amendment, variation or other matters to come before the Meeting. However, if any other matters which are not now known to management of the Corporation should properly come before the Meeting, the Common Shares represented by the proxy will be voted on such matters in accordance with the best judgment of the person or persons voting the Common Shares represented by such proxy.

Registered Shareholders

Registered Shareholders (each, a “ Registered Holder ”) may vote in person at the Meeting. Those Registered Holders who are unable to attend the Meeting in person or who choose to dial-in and attend the Meeting via teleconference should properly complete and deliver the form of proxy, and the Common Shares represented by the Registered Holder’s proxy will be voted or withheld from voting in accordance with the instructions indicated on the form of proxy, or any ballot that may be called at the Meeting or any adjournment thereof. A Registered Holder may submit a proxy using one of the following methods:

  • (a) complete, date and sign the form of proxy and return it to Computershare by fax at 1-604661-9549, or by mail or by hand delivery to 510 Burrard Street, 3rd Floor, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6C 3B9, Attention: Proxy Department; or

CAN_DMS: \136063744\7

2

  • (b) to vote by Internet, go to www.investorvote.com and follow the instructions. You will need your 15-digit control number which you can find on your form of proxy. Follow the online voting instructions given to you and vote over the Internet referring to your holder account number and proxy access number provided on the form of proxy that was delivered to you.

To be effective, a proxy must be received by Computershare no later than 10:00 A.M. (Vancouver Time) on December 4, 2020 or, if the Meeting is adjourned, at least forty-eight (48) hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and statutory holidays in the Province of British Columbia) prior to the time of holding of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof.

Failure to complete or deposit a proxy properly may result in its invalidation. The time limit for the deposit of proxies may be waived by the Chairman of the Meeting in his discretion without notice.

Non-Registered Shareholders

Only Registered Holders or the persons they appoint as their proxies are permitted to vote at the Meeting. However, in many cases, Common Shares beneficially owned by a person (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 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 (b) in the name of a clearing agency (such as CDS & Co. (the nominee of The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited)) of which the Intermediary is a participant. In accordance with the requirements of NI 54-101, the Corporation has distributed copies of the Notice of Meeting and Information Circular (collectively, the “ Meeting Materials ”) to the clearing agencies and Intermediaries for onward distribution to Non-Registered Holders unless such Non-Registered Holders have waived the right to receive the proxy-related materials.

There are two categories of Non-Registered Holders for the purposes of applicable securities regulatory policy in relation to the mechanism of dissemination to Non-Registered Holders of proxy-related materials and other securityholder materials and the request for voting instructions from such Non-Registered Holders. Non-objecting beneficial owners (“ NOBOs ”) are Non-Registered Holders who have advised their Intermediary that they do not object to their Intermediary disclosing ownership information to the Corporation, consisting of their name, address, e-mail address, securities holdings and preferred language of communication. Securities legislation restricts the use of that information to matters strictly relating to the affairs of the Corporation. Objecting beneficial owners (“ OBOs ”) are Non-Registered Holders who have advised their Intermediary that they object to their Intermediary disclosing such ownership information to the Corporation.

In accordance with the requirements of NI 54-101, the Corporation is sending the Meeting Materials, and a voting instruction form or a form of proxy, as applicable, directly to NOBOs and indirectly through Intermediaries to OBOs. NI 54-101 permits the Corporation, in its discretion, to obtain a list of its NOBOs from intermediaries and use such NOBO list for the purpose of distributing the Meeting Materials directly to, and seeking voting instructions directly from, such NOBOs. As a result, the Corporation is entitled to deliver Meeting Materials to Non-Registered Holders in two manners: (a) directly to NOBOs and indirectly through Intermediaries to OBOs; or (b) indirectly to all Non-Registered Holders through Intermediaries. In accordance with the requirements of NI 54-101, the Corporation is sending the Meeting Materials directly to NOBOs and indirectly through Intermediaries to OBOs. The Corporation does not intend to pay for Intermediaries to deliver the proxy-related materials to OBOs. If the Corporation does not pay for an Intermediary to deliver materials to OBOs, OBOs will not receive the materials unless their Intermediary assumes the cost of delivery.

Intermediaries are required to forward the Meeting Materials to Non-Registered Holders unless a NonRegistered Holder has waived the right to receive them. Intermediaries often use service companies to forward Meeting Materials to Non-Registered Holders. Generally, Non-Registered Holders who have not waived the right to receive Meeting Materials will either:

CAN_DMS: \136063744\7

3

  • (a) be given a form of proxy which has already been signed by the Intermediary (typically by a facsimile or stamped signature) and is restricted as to the number of Common Shares beneficially owned by the Non-Registered Holder but which is otherwise not completed. In this case, the Non-Registered Holder who wishes to submit a proxy should properly complete the form of proxy and submit it to the Corporation, c/o Computershare, at the address set forth in the Notice of Meeting; or

  • (b) more typically, be given a form of proxy which is not signed by the Intermediary and which, when properly completed and signed by the Non-Registered Holder and returned to the Intermediary or its service corporation, will constitute voting instructions (often called a “ proxy authorization form ”) which the Intermediary must follow. Typically, the NonRegistered Holder will be given a page of instructions which contains a removable label containing a bar-code and other information. In order for the form of proxy to validly constitute a proxy authorization form, the Non-Registered Holder must remove the label from the instructions and affix it to the form of proxy, properly complete and sign the form of proxy and submit it to the Intermediary or its service corporation in accordance with the instructions of the Intermediary or its service corporation.

In either case, the purpose of these procedures is to permit Non-Registered Holders to direct the voting of the Common Shares they beneficially own. Should a Non-Registered Holder who receives either a form of proxy wish to vote at the Meeting (or have another person attend and vote on behalf of the Non-Registered Holder), the Non-Registered Holder should strike out the persons named in the form of proxy and insert the Non-Registered Holder's or such other person’s name in the blank space provided. In either case, NonRegistered Holders should carefully follow the instructions of their Intermediary, including those regarding when and where the form of proxy or proxy authorization form is to be delivered.

A Non-Registered Holder may revoke a proxy authorization form (voting instructions) or a waiver of the right to receive the Meeting Materials and to vote which has been given to an Intermediary at any time by written notice to the Intermediary, except that an Intermediary is not required to act on a revocation of a proxy authorization form (voting instructions) or of a waiver of the right to receive Meeting Materials and to vote which is not received by the Intermediary at least seven (7) days prior to the Meeting, or any postponement or adjournment thereof.

Notice to Shareholders in the United States

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

Revocation of Proxies

If you want to revoke your proxy after you have delivered it, you can do so at any time before it is used. You may do this by: (a) attending the Meeting in person and voting at the Meeting if you were a Registered Holder at the Record Date; (b) signing a form of proxy bearing a later date and submitting such proxy to Computershare, provided that such form of proxy is received by Computershare prior to the proxy cut-off time specified below; (c) signing a written statement that indicates, clearly, that you want to revoke your proxy and delivering this signed written statement to the registered office of the Corporation at 250 Howe Street, 20th Floor, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 3R8; or (d) in any other manner permitted by law.

Your proxy will only be revoked if a revocation is received by 10:00 a.m. (Vancouver Time) on December 4, 2020 or, in the case of an adjournment or postponement of the Meeting, forty-eight (48) hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and statutory holidays in the Province of British Columbia) prior to the time of holding

CAN_DMS: \136063744\7

4

of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof. If you revoke your proxy and do not replace it with another that is deposited with us before the proxy cut-off deadline, you can still vote your Common Shares, but to do so you must attend the Meeting and vote through the teleconference platform. Any vote cast by a Registered Holder at the Meeting will revoke any proxy previously submitted by the Registered Holder.

A Non-Registered Holder may revoke voting instructions by written notice to the Intermediary to whom the instructions were given. Non-Registered Holders should refer to their proxy authorization form for further information on revoking voting instructions. Any revocation notice should be delivered to the Intermediary well in advance of the Meeting to allow the Intermediary time to process the revocation.

VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS OF VOTING SECURITIES

General

The only outstanding securities of the Corporation carrying voting rights are the Common Shares. The Corporation is authorized to issue an unlimited number of Common Shares without par value and an unlimited number of preferred shares, of which, as at the date of this Information Circular, 7,923,500 Common Shares are issued and outstanding and no preferred shares are issued and outstanding.

The record date for the purpose of determining the Shareholders entitled to receive notice of the Meeting has been fixed by the Corporation's board of directors (the “ Board ”) to be November 4, 2020 (the “ Record Date ”). Only Shareholders of record at the close of business on the Record Date who either: (a) attend the Meeting in person; or (b) complete, sign and deliver a form of proxy in the manner and subject to the provisions described above will be entitled to vote or to have their Common Shares voted at the Meeting.

Common Shares

Each Common Share is entitled to one (1) vote on each matter to be voted upon at the Meeting.

Quorum

A quorum of Shareholders is present at the Meeting if there are one (1) or more persons who are, or who represent by proxy, one (1) or more Shareholders who, in the aggregate, hold at least ten percent (10%) of the issued Common Shares entitled to be voted at the Meeting.

Principal Shareholders

To the knowledge of the Corporation's directors and executive officers, no persons beneficially own, directly or indirectly, or exercise control or direction over, directly or indirectly, Common Shares carrying more than ten percent (10%) of the voting rights attached to all outstanding Common Shares.

Qualifying Transaction

On August 17, 2020, the Corporation entered into a binding letter of intent (the “ LOI ”) with WeCommerce Holdings Ltd. (“ WeCommerce ”), which outlines the terms and conditions pursuant to which the Corporation and WeCommerce, an arm’s length party, will complete a transaction that will result in a reverse take-over of the Corporation by WeCommerce (the “ Qualifying Transaction ”). The Qualifying Transaction is structured as a three-cornered amalgamation under the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the “ BCBCA ”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Corporation will incorporate a whollyowned subsidiary under the BCBCA, which will amalgamate with WeCommerce (the “ Amalgamation ”) to form a newly amalgamated company (“ Amalco ”). In connection with the Amalgamation, holders of common shares in the capital of the WeCommerce (“ WeCommerce Shares ”) will receive Common Shares of the Corporation for each WeCommerce Share held immediately before the Amalgamation and receive stock options to acquire Common Shares in the capital of the Corporation for each WeCommerce stock option held immediately before the Amalgamation.

CAN_DMS: \136063744\7

5

In addition, prior to the Amalgamation, each outstanding Common Share and security convertible into a Common Share shall be adjusted in accordance with its terms to account for the Consolidation (as defined below) and, in respect of certain stock options of the Corporation, to amend the expiry date of such options to a date that is twelve (12) months following completion of the Qualifying Transaction.

In connection with the Qualifying Transaction, it is anticipated that the Corporation will consolidate the Common Shares on the basis of an agreed upon formula, the result of which will provide that the value of the Corporation divided by the combined value of the Corporation and WeCommerce yields a predetermined percentage with such percentage representing the percentage ownership of the Common Shares to be held by Shareholder upon completion of the Qualifying Transaction (the “ Consolidation ”).

Pursuant to the Qualifying Transaction, the Corporation will change its name to a name to be determined by the Corporation and as may be acceptable to the TSX Venture Exchange (the “ TSXV ”) and regulatory authorities (the “ Resulting Issuer ”). Upon completion of the Qualifying Transaction, Amalco will carry on the business of WeCommerce as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation.

If completed, the Qualifying Transaction is intended to constitute the Corporation’s Qualifying Transaction, as defined in Policy 2.4 of the TSXV Corporate Finance Manual (the “ CPC Policy ”) and, as such, it is subject to approval of the TSXV.

Shareholders are not required to approve the Qualifying Transaction . However, the Qualifying Transaction is very important to the Corporation and certain matters to be considered at the Meeting are important for preparing the Corporation to complete the Qualifying Transaction. Full details regarding WeCommerce and the Qualifying Transaction will be disclosed by the Corporation in a filing statement to be prepared and filed under the CPC Policy (the “ Filing Statement ”). The Filing Statement will be posted on SEDAR at www.sedar.com prior to completion of the Qualifying Transaction. Management of the Corporation will endeavour to post the Filing Statement on SEDAR as quickly as possible; however, the posting thereof may not occur before the date of the Meeting. Shareholders are urged to review the press releases issued by the Corporation on August 17, 2020 and October 29, 2020 announcing the proposed Qualifying Transaction as well as the Filing Statement of the Corporation if, as and when filed on SEDAR, as it contains important disclosure regarding the Resulting Issuer and the Qualifying Transaction.

Subject to receipt of all requisite approvals, including from the TSXV, the Qualifying Transaction is anticipated to close in December 2020. Certain of the resolutions sought to be passed by the Shareholders at the Meeting are important to the completion of the Qualifying Transaction. Failure to pass these resolutions could impede or impact the completion of the Qualifying Transaction.

MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON AT THE MEETING

A. Presentation of Financial Statements

A copy of the Corporation's annual audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2020 (the “ Financial Statements ”), together with the auditors’ report thereon, will be placed before the Shareholders at the Meeting. The presentation at the Meeting of the auditors’ report and the Financial Statements for this financial period will not constitute a request for approval or disapproval of any matters referred to therein. Copies of the Corporation’s annual and interim financial statements are also available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

B. Election of Directors

The Corporation currently has four (4) directors and it is intended that four (4) directors will be nominated for election at the Meeting. At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to pass an ordinary resolution to fix the number of directors of the Corporation to be elected at the Meeting for the ensuing year at four (4). The number of directors of the Corporation will be approved if the affirmative vote of the majority of Common

CAN_DMS: \136063744\7

Shares present or represented by proxy at the Meeting and entitled to vote are voted in favour of fixing the number of directors to be elected at the Meeting at four (4).

Shareholders will be asked to elect the four (4) directors to the Board set out in the table below (the “ Current Nominees ”). If elected, each Current Nominee will be elected to hold office effective until the earlier of: (a) the next annual general meeting of the Corporation; (b) the completion of the Qualifying Transaction; or (c) his/her successor is duly elected or appointed in accordance with the BCBCA and the Articles of the Corporation, unless his/her office is vacated earlier.

Voting for the election of the below named directors comprising the Current Nominees will be conducted on an individual, and not slate basis. Shareholders can vote for all of the proposed directors set forth herein, vote for some of them and withhold for others, or withhold for all of them. Unless the proxy specifically instructs the proxyholder to withhold such vote, Common Shares represented by the proxies hereby solicited shall be voted for the election of each of the nominees whose names are set forth below. Management does not contemplate that any of these proposed nominees will be unable to serve as a director of the Corporation, but if that should occur for any reason prior to the Meeting, the persons designated in the enclosed instrument appointing proxy will have the right to use their discretion in voting for a properly qualified substitute.

The following is a brief description of the Current Nominees proposed, including their principal occupation for the past five (5) years, all positions and offices with the Corporation held by them and the number of Common Shares that they have advised are beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by them or over which control or direction is exercised by them, as at the Record Date.

F. Ratification of Legacy Option Plan

At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if deemed advisable, approve an ordinary resolution set forth below in this Information Circular ratifying the Corporation’s stock option plan which was approved by the Board on August 9, 2019 and amended on September 17, 2019 (the “ Legacy Option Plan ”), which is considered a “rolling” stock option plan and reserves a maximum of ten percent (10%) of the total outstanding Common Shares at the time of grant for issuance pursuant to the Legacy Option Plan. Any previous granted options are governed by the Legacy Option Plan, and if options granted expire or terminate for any reason without having been exercised, the unpurchased Common Shares will again be available under the Legacy Option Plan. The policies of the TSXV provide that, where a company has a rolling stock option plan in place, it must seek shareholder approval for such plan annually.

A full copy of the Legacy Option Plan is attached hereto as Schedule “A”. A summary of the Legacy Option Plan can also be found herein under “ Statement of Executive Compensation – Stock Option Plan ”.

At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if deemed advisable, to approve the following ordinary resolution to ratify the Legacy Option Plan:

BE IT RESOLVED , as an ordinary resolution of the Corporation’s shareholders, that:

  1. The stock option plan of Brachium Capital Corp., approved by the directors of the Corporation on August 9, 2019 and amended on September 17, 2020, a copy of which is attached to the management information of the Corporation dated November 6, 2020 as Schedule “A”, be and is hereby ratified and shall continue and remain in effect until further ratification is required pursuant to the rules of the TSX Venture Exchange or other applicable regulatory requirements.

CAN_DMS: \136063744\7

11

  1. Any one director or officer of the Corporation be and is hereby authorized and directed, on behalf of the Corporation to take all necessary steps and proceedings and to execute, deliver and file any and all declarations, agreements, documents and other instruments and do all such other acts and things that may be necessary or desirable to give effect to this ordinary resolution.”

It is the intention of the management designees, if named as proxy, to vote FOR the approval of the ordinary resolution ratifying the Legacy Option Plan as set forth above and therein, unless the Shareholder has specified in its proxy that its Common Shares are to be voted against the ratification of the Legacy Option Plan. To be adopted, this resolution is required to be passed by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Meeting.

Upon completion of the Qualifying Transaction, it is anticipated that the Legacy Option Plan will be replaced by the Resulting Issuer Stock Option Plan (as defined below).

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of the ratification of the Legacy Option Plan.

G. Resulting Issuer Stock Option Plan

At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if deemed advisable, approve the adoption by the Corporation of the replacement stock option plan (the “ Resulting Issuer Stock Option Plan ”) to come into effect immediately upon completion of the Qualifying Transaction and to replace the Legacy Stock Option Plan. The Resulting Issuer Stock Option Plan will enable the directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Resulting Issuer and its affiliates to participate in the growth and development of the Resulting Issuer by providing such persons with the opportunity, through options to purchase shares, to acquire an increased proprietary interest in the Resulting Issuer that is aligned with the interests of the Shareholders. A copy of the Resulting Issuer Stock Option Plan is set out in Schedule “B” to this Circular.

The Resulting Issuer Stock Option Plan permits the Board to grant options to purchase up to ten percent (10%) of the issued number of Common Shares outstanding at the date of the grant. The Resulting Issuer Stock Option Plan provides for the grant of options to purchase Common Shares to eligible directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Resulting Issuer or any of its affiliates.

If the Resulting Issuer is subject to the policies of the TSXV, the number of grants which may be issuable under the Resulting Issuer Stock Option Plan and all of the Resulting Issuer’s other security-based compensation arrangements in existence from time to time on and after the effective date of the Resulting Issuer Stock Option Plan, within any one-year period: (a) to any one person, shall be no more than five percent (5%) of the issued and outstanding share capital of the Resulting Issuer, with the exception of a consultant who may not receive grants of more than two percent (2%) of the issued and outstanding share capital of the Resulting Issuer; and (b) to all persons employed to conduct Investor Relations Activities, shall be no more than an aggregate of two percent (2%) of the number of issued and outstanding Common Shares in the capital of the Resulting Issuer at any one time.

If the Resulting Issuer is subject to the policies of the Toronto Stock Exchange, then the maximum number of Common Shares: (a) issued to insiders of the Resulting Issuer, within any one year period; and (b) issuable to insiders of the Resulting Issuer, at any time, under the Resulting Issuer Stock Option Plan, or when combined with all of the Resulting Issuer’s other security based compensation arrangements, cannot exceed ten percent (10%) of the Resulting Issuer’s total issued and outstanding securities.

Options granted under the Resulting Issuer Stock Option Plan may be exercisable for up to ten (10) years from the date of grant, provided that if the exercise period terminates during a blackout period, the exercise period shall be extended to the date that is ten (10) business days following the end of such blackout period.

Where an optionee's position as an employee, consultant, director or officer of the Resulting Issuer or any affiliate is terminated for just cause, the options shall terminate on the date of such termination for just cause. Unless determined otherwise by the Board, where an optionee's position as an employee,

CAN_DMS: \136063744\7

12

consultant, officer or director of the Resulting Issuer or any affiliate terminates for a reason other than the optionee's Disability (as defined in the Resulting Issuer Stock Option Plan), death, or termination for just cause: (a) all options that have not vested on the termination date, shall terminate on such date, and (b) all options that have vested on the termination date, shall termination on the date that is ninety (90) days after the termination date

Options are non-assignable and non-transferable, other than in the following circumstances:

  • (a) Death of Optionee – If the employment of an optionee as an employee or consultant of the Resulting Issuer or any affiliate, or the position of an optionee as a director or officer of the Resulting Issuer or any affiliate, terminates as a result of his or her death, any options held by such optionee shall pass to the Qualified Successor (as defined in the Resulting Issuer Stock Option Plan) of the optionee, and shall be exercisable by the Qualified Successor for a period of one year following such death, provided that in no case shall the exercise period of the option extend beyond ten (10) years from the date the option is granted.

  • (b) Disability of Optionee - If the employment of an optionee as an employee or consultant of the Resulting Issuer or any affiliate, or the position of an optionee as a director or officer of the Resulting Issuer or any affiliate, is terminated by the Resulting Issuer or any affiliate by reason of such optionee's Disability, any option held by such optionee that could have been exercised immediately prior to such termination of service shall be exercisable by such optionee, or by his Guardian (as defined in the Resulting Issuer Stock Option Plan), for a period of one (1) year following the termination of service of such Optionee.

  • (c) Disability and Death of Optionee - If an optionee who has ceased to be employed by the company or any affiliate by reason of such optionee's Disability dies within thirty (30) days after the termination of such employment, any option held by such optionee that could have been exercised immediately prior to his or her death shall pass to the Qualified Successor of such optionee, and shall be exercisable by the Qualified Successor for a period of one (1) year following the death of such Optionee, provided that in no case shall the exercise period of the option extend beyond five (5) years from the date the option is granted.

  • (d) Retirement - In the event of the termination of employment of an optionee who is an employee at any time during the term of an option by reason of the deemed retirement of such employee, as may be determined by the Board, in its sole discretion, then the rights to purchase Common Shares under the option which have accrued to the optionee and remain unexercised at, or which accrue subsequent to, the date of his retirement shall remain exercisable by the optionee (or by the optionee's legal personal representative or representatives if the optionee dies before the last date of exercise of the option) for a period of one (1) year following the retirement of such optionee in accordance with the terms of the option.

Unless otherwise determined by the Board in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Resulting Issuer Stock Option Plan, options will be granted by the Board. The Board may determine and impose terms upon which each Option shall become vested, provided that, if the Common Shares are listed on the TSXV, Options granted to Persons employed to conduct Investor Relations Activities, must vest in stages over twelve (12) months with no more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the options vesting in any three month period.

Subject to the acceptance of the TSXV or Toronto Stock Exchange, as applicable, and any other applicable regulatory authorities, the Board may terminate, suspend or amend the terms of the Resulting Issuer Stock Option Plan; provided, however, that, the Board may not, among other things, do any of the following without obtaining, within twelve (12) months either before or after the Board’s adoption of a resolution authorizing such action, approval by the affirmative votes of the holders of a majority of the voting securities of the Resulting Issuer present, or represented, and entitled to vote at a meeting duly held in accordance with the applicable corporate laws, and, where required, by way of Disinterested Shareholder Approval (as defined in the Resulting Issuer Stock Option Plan): (a) increase the maximum number of Common Shares that may

13

be reserved under the Resulting Issuer Stock Option Plan for issuance pursuant the exercise of options; (b) reduce the exercise price of options; (c) grant to insiders (as a group), within a twelve (12) month period, an aggregate number of options exceeding ten percent (10%) of the Resulting Issuer’s issued Common Shares, calculated at the date the option is granted to the insider; (d) issue to any one optionee, within a twelve (12) month period, a number of Common Shares exceeding five percent (5%) of the Corporation’s Common Shares; (e) modify the maximum term of the options; or (f) modify the expiry and termination provisions applicable to options.

At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if deemed advisable, to approve the following ordinary resolution to approve the adoption of the Resulting Issuer Stock Option Plan:

BE IT RESOLVED , as an ordinary resolution of the Corporation’s shareholders, that:

  1. Subject to acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange (the “ TSXV ”) and conditional and effective only upon the completion of the Corporation’s qualifying transaction, the stock option plan of the Corporation (the “ Option Plan ”) substantially as appended to Schedule “B” of the management information circular of the Corporation, dated November 6, 2020 (the “ Circular ”) be and hereby is approved and adopted as the incentive stock option plan of the Corporation with such modifications, if any, as may be required by any stock exchange upon which the shares of the Corporation may be listed or may trade from time to time.

  2. It is hereby approved that the Option Plan shall take effect upon the successful completion of the Qualifying Transaction, evidenced by the Final Exchange Bulletin (as defined in Policy 2.4 of the TSXV Corporate Finance Manual) issued by the TSXV providing final acceptance of the Qualifying Transaction (as defined in the Circular).

  3. The board of directors of the Corporation be and is hereby authorized, in its discretion, to administer the Option Plan and to amend or modify the Option Plan in accordance with its terms and conditions to the extent needed to reflect changes acquired by securities regulatory agencies or stock exchanges or so as to meet industry standards.

  4. Any director or officer of the Corporation be and is hereby authorized and directed, acting for, in the name of and one behalf of the Corporation to execute or cause to be executed under the corporate seal of the Corporation or otherwise and to deliver or cause to be delivered, such other documents or instruments and to do or cause to be done all such acts and things as may, in the opinion of such director or officer of the Corporation be necessary or desirable to carry out the intent of the forgoing resolutions.

  5. Any officer or director of the Corporation be and is hereby authorized to do all such acts and execute and file all instruments and documents necessary or desirable to carry out this resolution, including making appropriate filings with regulatory authorities, including any applicable stock exchange.”

It is the intention of the management designees, if named as proxy, to vote FOR the approval of the ordinary resolution adopting the Resulting Issuer Stock Option Plan as set forth above and therein, unless the Shareholder has specified in its proxy that its Common Shares are to be voted against the approval of the Resulting Issuer Stock Option Plan. To be adopted, this resolution is required to be passed by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Meeting.

Upon completion of the Qualifying Transaction, it is anticipated that the Resulting Issuer Stock Option Plan will replace the Legacy Stock Option Plan.

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of the approval of the Resulting Issuer Stock Option Plan.

CAN_DMS: \136063744\7

H. Consolidation of Common Shares

In connection with the Qualifying Transaction, Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if deemed advisable, to pass an ordinary resolution approving the consolidation of the Corporation’s issued and outstanding Common Shares (the “ Consolidation Resolution ”). In connection with the Qualifying Transaction, the Corporation intends to consolidate its issued and outstanding Common Shares (the “ Consolidation ”) in order to better align the value of each post-Consolidation Common Share to the value of each WeCommerce Share. Subject to obtaining all required regulatory and Shareholder approvals, the Corporation’s issued and outstanding Common Shares will be consolidated on a basis of up to thirty-seven (37) pre-Consolidation Common Shares for one post-Consolidation Common Share (the “ Maximum Consolidation Ratio ”), as determined by the Board, in its sole discretion.

If Shareholder approval of the Consolidation is obtained, the Consolidation will take place following the Meeting at such time as the Board may determine, but, in any case, it is expected the Board will proceed with the Consolidation prior to effecting the Qualifying Transaction, but only if all conditions precedent to the Qualifying Transaction are reasonably expected to be satisfied or waived.

Effects of the Consolidation

If approved and implemented, all of the Common Shares will be consolidated and all holders of the Common Shares will be affected equally. In addition, there may be a minimal effect on a Shareholder’s percentage ownership interest in the Corporation resulting from the proposed treatment of fractional Common Shares. Each Common Share outstanding post-Consolidation will be entitled to one (1) vote at each meeting of Shareholders. The principal effects of the Consolidation will be that: (a) assuming the Maximum Consolidation Ratio, the number of Common Shares issued and outstanding will be reduced from 7,923,500 Common Shares as of the date hereof to approximately 214,149 post-Consolidation Common Shares; and (b) the exercise or conversion price and/or the number of Common Shares issuable under any of the Corporation’s outstanding convertible securities, stock options and warrants will be proportionally adjusted upon the Consolidation based on the applicable Consolidation ratio.

Risks of Consolidation

The Consolidation may result in some Shareholders owning “odd lots” of less than one hundred (100) postConsolidation Common Shares. Odd lots may be more difficult to sell, or require greater transaction costs per share to sell, than shares in “board lots” of even multiples of one hundred (100) Common Shares.

No fractional Common Shares will be issued. If, as a result of the Consolidation, a Shareholder would otherwise be entitled to a fractional Common Share, such fractional Common Share that is less than 1/2 of one post-Consolidation Common Share will be cancelled and each fractional Common Share that is at least 1/2 of one post-Consolidation Common Share will be rounded up to one whole post-Consolidation Common Share.

Effect on Registered Holders

The implementation of the Consolidation, following the obtaining of Shareholder approval and all necessary regulatory approvals, including the acceptance of TSXV, will require Registered Holders to exchange their share certificates for new certificates. When applicable, Registered Holders will be sent a letter of transmittal which will detail the instructions for the exchange of share certificates. The transfer agent will send to each Registered Holder who has sent the required documents a new share certificate representing the number of post-Consolidation Common Shares to which the Shareholder is entitled. Until surrendered, each share certificate representing pre-Consolidation Common Shares will be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of whole post-Consolidation Common Shares to which the Shareholder is entitled as a result of the Consolidation. If a Registered Holder would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share, such fractional share shall be treated in the manner described above. Share certificates deposited into brokerage accounts after the implementation of the Consolidation will also be adjusted by the Consolidation ratio.

CAN_DMS: \136063744\7

15

Effect on Non-Registered Holders

Non-Registered Holders holding their Common Shares through an Intermediary should note that such Intermediary may have different procedures for processing the Consolidation than those that will be put in place by the Corporation for Registered Holders. If you are a Non-Registered Holder and you have questions or concerns in this regard, you are encouraged to contact your Intermediary.

Effect on Common Shares Held in Book-Entry Form

Certain Non-Registered Holders may own Common Shares in book-entry form. Non-Registered Holders will not have share certificates evidencing their ownership of such Common Shares and therefore do not need to take any additional actions to exchange their pre-Consolidation book-entry Common Shares, if any, for post-Consolidation Common Shares. Upon the effective date of the Consolidation, each then existing book-entry account will be adjusted to reflect the number of post-Consolidation Common Shares to which the Non-Registered Holder is entitled in accordance with the Consolidation ratio.

Effect on Convertible Securities and Stock Options

The exercise or conversion price and/or the number of Common Shares issuable under any outstanding convertible securities and outstanding stock options will be proportionally adjusted upon the implementation of the Consolidation, in accordance with the terms of such securities, based on the Consolidation ratio.

To effect the Consolidation, the Corporation is required, pursuant to Section 54 of the BCBCA, to obtain approval by not less than a majority of the votes cast by Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Meeting in respect of the Consolidation Resolution.

Accordingly, at the Meeting, the Shareholders will be asked to approve the following Consolidation Resolution:

“BE IT RESOLVED , as an ordinary resolution of the Corporation’s shareholders, that:

  1. The issued share capital of the Corporation be altered at a date to be determined by the board of directors of the Corporation by consolidating all of the issued and outstanding class A common shares (the “ Consolidation ”) on the basis of up to thirty-seven (37) pre-Consolidation class A common shares of the Corporation for one (1) post-Consolidation class A common share, with the exact Consolidation ratio to be determined by the board of directors of the Corporation, in its sole discretion;

  2. Each post-Consolidation fractional class A common shares that is less than 1/2 of one postConsolidation class A common share will be cancelled and each fractional class A common share that is at least 1/2 of one post-Consolidation class A common share will be rounded up to one whole post-Consolidation class A common share.

  3. The directors of the Corporation, in their sole and complete discretion, may act upon this ordinary resolution to effect the Consolidation and to determine the actual Consolidation ratio, or if deemed appropriate and without any further approval from the shareholders of the Corporation, may choose not to act upon this ordinary resolution notwithstanding shareholder approval of the Consolidation.

  4. Any director or senior officer of the Corporation is hereby authorized and directed, acting for, in the name of and on behalf of the Corporation, to execute or cause to be executed, and to deliver or cause to be delivered, all such other deeds, documents, instruments and assurances and to do or cause to be done all such other acts as in the opinion of such director or officer of the Corporation may be necessary or desirable to carry out the terms of the foregoing resolutions.”

CAN_DMS: \136063744\7

16

It is the intention of the management designees, if named as proxy, to vote FOR the approval of the Consolidation Resolution, unless the Shareholder has specified in its proxy that its Common Shares are to be voted against the approval of the Consolidation Resolution. In order for the vote to be effective, the Consolidation Resolution must be approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Meeting for this resolution.

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote FOR the Consolidation Resolution.

I. Other Matters

Management of the Corporation knows of no other matters to be submitted to Shareholders at the Meeting. If any other matters properly come before the Meeting, it is the intention of the persons named in the enclosed form of proxy to vote the Common Shares they represent in accordance with their judgement on such matters.

Section 8.1 of the CPC Policy states that until the completion of a Qualifying Transaction, no payment of any kind may be made, directly or indirectly, by a CPC to a Non-Arm’s Length Party of the CPC or a Non-Arm’s Length Party to a Qualifying Transaction, or to any person engaged in Investor Relations Activities in respect of the CPC or the securities of the CPC or any Resulting Issuer by any means including, (a) remuneration, which includes, but is not limited to: salaries, consulting fees, management contract fees or directors’ fees, finder’s fees, loans, advances, bonuses; and (b) deposits and similar payments.

The only compensation that is permitted to the directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Corporation, so long as it is a CPC, is the granting of incentive stock options. The objective and purpose of any incentive stock options is to encourage the Corporation's officers and directors to find a Qualifying Transaction that is in the best interest of the Shareholders. If a Qualifying Transaction is not successfully completed, or if one is completed that does not increase the value of the Common Shares during the term of the incentive stock option, the directors and officers will receive no benefit, or very little benefit, from any incentive stock options. The Corporation has reserved 792,350 Common Shares for stock options issued to its directors and officers. See “Stock Option Plan”.

Notwithstanding the above, the Corporation may reimburse Non-Arm’s Length Parties for the Corporation’s reasonable allocation of rent, secretarial services and other general administrative expenses, at fair market value (“ Permitted Reimbursement ”). No reimbursement may be made for any payment made to lease or buy a vehicle. In addition, no payment, other than the Permitted Reimbursements, will be made by the Corporation or by any party on behalf of the Corporation, after Completion of the Qualifying Transaction, if the payment relates to services rendered or obligations incurred or in connection with the Qualifying Transaction.

A Non-Arm’s Length Party under TSXV Policy 1.1 – Interpretation (“ Policy 1.1 ”) in relation to the Corporation, includes: a Promoter, officer, director, other Insider or Control Person of the Corporation and

CAN_DMS: \136063744\7

17

any Associates or Affiliates of any such persons; or another entity or an Affiliate of that entity, if that entity or its Affiliate have the same Promoter, officer, director, Insider or Control Person as the Corporation. The foregoing capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein are defined in Policy 1.1.

Director and Named Executive Officer Compensation

In accordance with the CPC Policy, no compensation in the form of a salary, consulting fee, retainer, commission, bonus, committee fee, or meeting fee has been paid to or earned by any director or Named Executive Officer for the period from incorporation to the date hereof.

Following the completion of a Qualifying Transaction by the Corporation, if any, it is anticipated that the Corporation will pay compensation to its directors and officers in accordance with industry standards, depending on the nature and size of the particular business that the Corporation acquires in connection with any Qualifying Transaction that it may complete.

For the most recently completed financial year, the named executive officers of the Corporation were: (i) Bryant Pike – Chief Executive Officer (the “ CEO ”); and (ii) Greg Louis – Chief Financial Officer (the “ CFO ”) (collectively, the “ Named Executive Officers ”).

Compensation Securities

The officers and directors of the Corporation have been granted a total of 792,350 options, each option exercisable into one Common Share at an exercise price of $0.10 per Common Share and expiring on December 3, 2024. The following table sets out all compensation securities granted or issued to each director and Named Executive Officer by the Corporation:

Stock Option Plan

The Corporation adopted the Legacy Option Plan on August 9, 2019 and amended the plan on September 17, 2019. The Legacy Option Plan permits the Board to grant options to purchase up to ten percent (10%) of the issued number of Common Shares outstanding at the date of the grant. As of the date hereof, the Legacy Option Plan is the Corporation’s only equity compensation plan. As of the date hereof, the Corporation has granted 792,350 options to purchase 792,350 Common Shares.

The Legacy Option Plan provides for the grant of options to purchase Common Shares to eligible directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Corporation or any of its affiliates. The number of Common Shares reserved for issuance pursuant to options granted to any one optionee, other than a consultant, shall not, within any twelve (12) month period, exceed five percent (5%) of the total number of Common Shares then issued and outstanding unless disinterested Shareholder approval is obtained. The number of Common Shares issuable to any insider and such insiders’ associates pursuant to options granted under the Legacy Option Plan and all other security based compensation arrangements of the Corporation shall not, at any time, exceed ten percent (10%) of the total number of Common Shares then issued and outstanding, unless disinterested Shareholder approval is obtained. The number of Common Shares issued to insiders and such insiders’ associates pursuant to the Legacy Option Plan and all other security based compensation arrangements shall not, within any twelve (12) month period, exceed ten percent (10%) of the total number of Common Shares then issued and outstanding, unless disinterested Shareholder approval is obtained.

The number of Common Shares issued to all persons engaged to conduct investor relations activities shall not, within any twelve (12) month period, exceed two percent (2%) of the total number of Common Shares then issued and outstanding.

Options may be exercisable for up to ten (10) years from the date of grant, but the Board has the discretion to grant options that are exercisable for a shorter period. Unless otherwise determined by the Board every option awarded will be subject to certain vesting provisions in accordance with the terms of the Legacy Option Plan. Options under the Legacy Option Plan are non-assignable. Options may be exercised at the greater of twelve (12) months after the completion of a Qualifying Transaction and ninety (90) days following cessation of the optionee's position with the Corporation, provided that if the cessation of office, directorship, or technical consulting arrangement was by reason of death, the option may be exercised within a maximum period of one (1) year after such death, subject to the expiry date of such option. In the event an optionee is terminated for cause, any outstanding options granted to such optionee will be automatically terminated on the date of cessation of the optionee's position with the Corporation. In the event an optionee retires, resigns or is terminated for other than cause, any outstanding options granted to such optionee may be exercised for a period of up to one (1) year (or until the normal expiry date of the options, if earlier) following cessation of the optionee's position with the Corporation. In the event an optionee becomes disabled and is unable to continue in their position with the Corporation, any outstanding options granted to such optionee may be exercised for a period of up to one (1) year (or until the normal expiry date of the options, if earlier) following cessation of the optionee's position with the Corporation due to the disability. In the event of death

CAN_DMS: \136063744\7

of an optionee, any outstanding options granted to such optionee may be exercised within a maximum period of one (1) year after such death, subject to the expiry date of such option. In the event that the optionee is engaged to provide Investor Relations Activities (as defined in the policies of the TSX-V) and such optionee ceases to be so engaged, other than by reason of death, the expiry date of the option will not exceed the thirtieth (30[th] ) day following the termination date.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

General

The Board assumes overall responsibility for the direction of the Corporation through its delegation to senior management and through the ongoing function of the Board and its committees, as applicable. The sole business activity of the Corporation to date has been the identification of a potential qualifying transaction.

CAN_DMS: \136063744\7

20

Board of Directors

The Board is currently comprised of four (4) directors, three (3) of whom are independent and one (1) of whom who is not independent. Craig Graham, Larry Nevsky and Kris Miks are each independent in that they do not have a direct or indirect material relationship with the Corporation or one which could, in the view of the Board, be reasonably expected to interfere with the exercise of a member's independent judgement. Bryant Pike is an officer of the Corporation and is not considered to be independent.

Mandate of the Board of Directors

The sole business activity of the Corporation to date has been the identification of a potential Qualifying Transaction.

Position Descriptions

The Board has not developed written position descriptions for the Chairman or the Chair of the Audit Committee of the Board.

Orientation and Continuing Education

Board committee meetings are sometimes held at the Corporation’s offices and are combined with presentations by the Corporation’s management and employees to give the directors of the Corporation additional insight into the Corporation’s business. In addition, management of the Corporation makes itself available for discussion with all Board members.

Ethical Business Conduct

The Board has found that the fiduciary duties placed on individual directors by the Corporation’s governing corporate legislation and the common law and the restrictions placed by applicable corporate legislation on an individual directors’ 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 Corporation.

Assessments

The Board monitors the adequacy of information given to directors, communication between the Board and management of the Corporation and the strategic direction and processes of the Board and the Audit Committee.

Board Committees

The Board has established the Audit Committee. Membership on the Audit Committee is through appointment by the Board.

  • (d) Vesting - Options held by a Qualified Successor or exercisable by a Guardian shall, during the period prior to their termination, continue to vest in accordance with any vesting schedule to which such Options are subject.

  • (e) Deemed Non-Interruption of Employment - Employment shall be deemed to continue intact during any military or sick leave or other bona fide leave of absence if the period of such leave does not exceed 90 days or, if longer, for so long as the Optionee's right to reemployment with the Company or any Affiliate is guaranteed either by statute or by contract. If the period of such leave exceeds 90 days and the Optionee's reemployment is not so guaranteed, then his or her employment shall be deemed to have terminated on the ninety-first day of such leave.

3.10 Adjustment of Options

  • (a) Alteration in Capital Structure – If there is any change in the Common Shares through or by means of a declaration of reorganization, recapitalization, stock dividends of the Common Shares or consolidations, subdivisions or reclassifications of the Common Shares, spin-off or otherwise, the number of Common Shares available under the Plan, the Common Shares subject to any Option and the Exercise Price therefor shall be adjusted in number and kind that may be issued under the Plan, proportionately by the Board and, if required, approved by the Regulatory Authorities having authority over the Company or the Plan, and such adjustment shall be effective and binding for all purposes of the Plan. In connection with an adjustment in accordance with this Section 3.10(a), the Board shall have the discretion to permit a holder of Options to purchase (at the times, for the consideration, and subject to the terms and conditions set out in

  • 14 -

this Plan) and the holder will then accept on the exercise of such Option, in lieu of the Common Shares that such holder would otherwise have been entitled to purchase, the kind and amount of shares or other securities or property that such holder would have been entitled to receive as a result of a transaction specified in this Section 3.10(a) if, on the effective date thereof, that holder had owned all Common Shares that were subject to the Option.

  • (b) Effect of Amalgamation, Merger or Arrangement – If the Company amalgamates, merges or enters into a plan of arrangement with or into another corporation that does not constitute a Change of Control, any Common Shares receivable on the exercise of an Option shall be converted into the securities, property or cash which the Optionee would have received upon such amalgamation, merger or arrangement if the Optionee had exercised his Option immediately prior to the record date applicable to such amalgamation, merger or arrangement, and the exercise price shall be adjusted proportionately by the Board and such adjustment shall be binding for all purposes of the Plan.

  • (c) Acceleration on Change of Control – In the event of a Change of Control or impending Change of Control, the Board may, in its sole discretion, deal with outstanding Options in the manner it deems fair and reasonable in light of the circumstances. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Board may, without any action or consent required on the part of any Option Holder:

  • (i) subject to Exchange approval, deliver a notice to the Option Holder advising the Option Holder that the unvested portion of the Option held by the Option Holder, if any, shall immediately vest;

  • (ii) deliver a notice to an Option Holder advising the Option Holder that the Expiry Date for any vested portion or portions of the Option shall be the earlier of the Fixed Expiry Date and the 10th day following the date of the notice and the Expiry Date for any unvested portion of the Option shall be the date of the notice; or

  • (iii) take such other actions, and combinations of the foregoing actions, as it deems fair and reasonable under the circumstances.

  • (d) Acceleration of Date of Expiry or Vesting – The Board shall have the right to accelerate the date of expiry of any portion of any Option or the vesting of any portion of any Option which remains unvested, subject to the necessary approvals of the applicable Regulatory Authorities.

  • (e) Effect of a Take-over - If a bona fide offer (the “ Offer ”) for Common Shares is made to an Optionee or to shareholders generally or to a class of shareholders which includes the Optionee, which Offer constitutes a take-over bid within the meaning of Section 92 of the British Columbia Securities Act , as amended from time to time, the Company shall, immediately upon receipt of notice of the Offer, notify each Optionee of full particulars of the Offer, whereupon any Option held

  • 15 -

by an Optionee may be exercised in whole or in part by the Optionee so as to permit the Optionee to tender the Common Shares received upon such exercise (the “ Optioned Shares ”) to the Offer. If:

  • (i) the Offer is not completed within the time specified therein; or

  • (ii) all of the Optioned Shares tendered by the Optionee pursuant to the Offer are not taken up and paid for by the offeror pursuant thereto;

the Optioned Shares or, in the case of clause (b) above, the Optioned Shares that are not taken up and paid for, may be returned by the Optionee to the Company and reinstated as authorized but unissued Common Shares and with respect to such returned Optioned Shares, the Option shall be reinstated as if it had not been exercised. If any Optioned Shares are returned to the Company under this Section, the Company shall refund the Exercise Price to the Optionee for such Optioned Shares.

  • (f) No Fractional Common Shares – No fractional Common Shares will be issued upon the exercise of an Option. Accordingly, if, as a result of a consolidation, subdivision, conversion, exchange or reclassification of Common Shares, an Optionee would become entitled to a fractional Common Share, such Optionee will have the right to purchase only the next lowest whole number of Common Shares and no payment or other adjustment will be made with respect to the fractional interest so disregarded.

  • (g) Determinations to be made by Board – Adjustments and determinations under this Section 3.10 shall be made by the Board, whose decisions as to the adjustments or determination which shall be made, and the extent thereof, shall be final, binding, and conclusive.

3.11 Option Grant and Vesting Terms

Unless otherwise determined by the Board in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Plan, Options will be granted by the Board. The Board may determine and impose terms upon which each Option shall become vested, provided that, if the Common Shares are listed on the TSXV, Options granted to Persons employed to conduct Investor Relations Activities, must vest in stages over 12 months with no more than 25% of the Options vesting in any three month period.

3.12 U.S. Participants

Any adjustment, amendment or termination of outstanding Options awarded to U.S. Participants will occur only if such actions are undertaken in accordance with Code Section 409A on a basis consistent with the regulations thereunder, and with respect to ISOs, in accordane with Code Section 424(a) to the extent applicable.

Any Option granted under the Plan to an Optionee who (i) is a citizen or resident of the United States (including its territories, possessions and all areas subject to the jurisdiction) (a “ U.S.

No provision of this Plan, as it may be applied to a U.S. Participant with respect to Options which are designated as ISOs, shall be construed so as to be inconsistent with any provision of Section 422 of the Code or the Treasury Regulations thereunder. Grants of Options to U.S. Participants which are not designated as or otherwise do not qualify as ISOs will be treated as nonstatutory stock options for U.S. federal tax purposes. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan contained to the contrary, the following provisions shall apply to ISOs granted to each U.S. Participant:

  • (a) ISOs shall only be granted to individual U.S. Participants who are, at the time of grant, employees of the Company or a Subsidiary within the meaning of the Code;

  • (c) the Exercise Price for Common Shares under each ISO granted to a U.S. Participant pursuant to this Plan shall be not less than fair market value of such Common Shares at the time the Option is granted, as determined in good faith by the Board at such time (unless such ISO is granted pursuant to an assumption or substitution for another option in a manner satisfying the provisions of Section 424(a) of the Code);

  • (d) notwithstanding any other provisions to the contrary in the Plan, the Exercise Period under each ISO granted to a U.S. Participant shall not be extended beyond the tenth anniversary of the date of grant (regardless of whether such date occurs during a Blackout Period). Further, if any U.S. Participant to whom an ISO is to be granted under the Plan at the time of the grant of such ISO is the owner of shares possessing more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of shares of the Company, then the following special provisions shall be applicable to the ISO granted to such individual:

  • (i) the Exercise Price (per share) subject to such ISO shall not be less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the fair market value of one Common Share at the time of grant; and

  • (ii) for the purposes of this Section 3.12 only, the Exercise Period shall not exceed five (5) years from the date of grant (regardless of whether such date occurs during a Blackout Period);

  • (e) no ISO may be granted hereunder to a U.S. Participant following the expiration of ten (10) years after the date on which this Plan is adopted by the Company or the

  • 17 -

date on which the Plan is approved by the shareholders of the Company, whichever is earlier; and

  • (f) no ISO granted to a U.S. Participant under the Plan shall become exercisable unless and until the Plan shall have been approved by the shareholders of the Company.

  • (g) in order to obtain certain U.S. federal tax benefits afforded to the ISO under Code Section 422, an ISO must be exercised within 3 months following a U.S. Participant’s termination of employment, except in the case of death, or in the case disability as defined in Code Section 22(e) in which case exercise must occur within one year following the date of such disability.

  • (h) in order to obtain certain U.S. federal tax benefits afforded to the ISO under Code Section 422, a U.S. Participant must hold the Shares issued upon the exercise of an ISO until the later of two years following the date of grant of the ISO and one year following the date of exercise of the ISO. A U.S. Participant will give the Company prompt notice of any disposition of Shares acquired by the exercise of an ISO that occurs prior to the expiration of such holding periods.

  • (i) An ISO granted to a U.S. Participant may be exercised during such U.S. Participant’s lifetime only by such U.S. Participant.

  • (j) an ISO granted to a U.S. Participant may not be transferred, assigned or pledged by such U.S. Participant except by will or the laws of descent and distribution.
