Matters to Be Considered at the Meeting
- Election of directors and re-appointment of Davidson & Company LLP as auditor of the Company.
- Share Consolidation - approving a consolidation of the Company's common shares (the "Common Shares") on the basis of a ratio of between five (5) and twenty-five (25) pre-consolidation Common Shares for one (1) post-consolidation Common Share, with the final ratio and timing to be determined by the board of directors of the Company.
- Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan - approving the Company's omnibus equity incentive plan for the ensuing year, as required by the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV").
- Stock Option Repricing and Term Extension -approving the repricing and term extension of 5,845,507 outstanding stock options (the "Subject Options") held by directors, officers, employees, and consultants, as further described below.
Proposed Stock Option Repricing and Term Extension
Subject to disinterested shareholder approval and TSXV acceptance, the Company proposes to cancel and re-issue the Subject Options on the following terms:
- New exercise price: $ 0.121 per Common Share, representing a 5% premium to the closing price of the Common Shares on the TSXV on May 20, 2026.
- New expiry date: ten (10) years from the original grant date.
- Vesting: previously vested Subject Options will vest immediately upon re-issuance; previously unvested Subject Options will vest on their original vesting schedule.
- All other terms of the Subject Options will remain unchanged.
The repricing and term extension (the "Repricing") of the Subject Options is being undertaken to restore the long-term retention and incentive value of the Company's equity awards, all of which are currently materially underwater relative to the prevailing market price of the Common Shares.
Of the 5,845,507 Subject Options, 3,820,846 are held by insiders of the Company (the "Insider Options"). The original exercise price of the Insiders Options range from $0.185 and $0.64 per Common Share. The original expiry dates of the Insider Options are as follows: (i) 2,364,422 Insider Options expire on March 18, 2027, (ii) 355,000 Insider Options expire on March 5, 2028, (iii) Insider Options expire on September 27, 2028, and (iv) 1,071,424 Insider Options expire on March 30, 2030. Pursuant to TSXV Policy 4.4 - Security Based Compensation, the Repricing requires the approval of a simple majority of the votes cast at the Meeting by disinterested shareholders. The Repricing is also subject to the final acceptance of the TSXV.
