INFORMATION CIRCULAR

(Containing information as at September 29, 2017 unless indicated otherwise)

SOLICITATION OF PROXIES

This Information Circular is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the management of Aurora Cannabis Inc. (the “Company”) for use at the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders of the Company (and any adjournment thereof) to be held at 10 o’clock am (Mountain Time) on Monday, November 13, 2017 (the “Meeting”) at the place and for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Meeting. While it is expected that the solicitation will be primarily by mail, proxies may be solicited personally or by telephone by the regular employees of the Company at nominal cost. All costs of solicitation by management will be borne by the Company.

GENERAL PROXY INFORMATION

Solicitation of Proxies

The solicitation of proxies will be primarily by mail, but proxies may be solicited personally or by telephone by directors, officers and regular employees of the Company. The Company will bear all costs of this solicitation. We have arranged for intermediaries to forward the meeting materials to beneficial owners of the Common Shares held of record by those intermediaries and we may reimburse the intermediaries for their reasonable fees and disbursements in that regard.

Notice-and-Access

In November 2012, the Canadian Securities Administrators announced the adoption of regulatory amendments to securities laws governing the delivery of proxy-related materials by public companies. Public companies are now permitted to advise their shareholders of the availability of all proxy-related materials on an easily-accessible website, rather than mailing copies of the materials.

The Company has elected to use the notice and access procedure (“Notice and Access”) under National Instrument 51-102 – Continuous Disclosure Obligations and National Instrument 54-101 – Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer (“NI 54-101”), for the delivery of meeting materials to shareholders for the Annual General and Special Meeting to be held on Monday, November 13, 2017 (the “Meeting”). Under the provisions of Notice and Access, shareholders will receive a notice (“Notice and Access Notice”) containing information on how they can access the Company’s Notice of Meeting and Information Circular (the “Meeting Materials”) electronically instead of receiving a printed copy or how to receive a printed copy of the Meeting Materials. Together with the Notice and Access Notice, shareholders will receive a proxy (“Proxy”), in the case of registered shareholders, enabling them to vote at the Meeting. The Meeting Materials for the Meeting will be posted on the Company’s website at https://auroramj.com/investors as of October 6, 2017, and will remain on the website for one year. The Meeting Materials will also be available on the Company’s SEDAR corporate profile at www.sedar.com as of October 6, 2017. All registered and beneficial shareholders will receive a Notice and Access Notice.

Appointment of Proxyholders

The individuals named in the accompanying form of proxy (the “Proxy”) are officers and/or directors of the Company. If you are a shareholder entitled to vote at the Meeting, you have the right to appoint a person or company other than any of the persons designated in the Proxy, who need not be a shareholder, to attend and act for you and on your behalf at the Meeting. You may do so either by inserting the name of that other person in the blank space provided in the Proxy or by completing and delivering another suitable form of proxy.


- 2 -

Voting by Proxyholder

The persons named in the Proxy will vote or withhold from voting the Common Shares represented thereby in accordance with your instructions on any ballot that may be called for. If you specify a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, your Common Shares will be voted accordingly. The Proxy confers discretionary authority on the persons named therein with respect to:

  (a)

each matter or group of matters identified therein for which a choice is not specified, other than the appointment of an auditor and the election of directors;

     
  (b)

any amendment to or variation of any matter identified therein; and

     
  (c)

any other matter that properly comes before the Meeting.

In respect of a matter for which a choice is not specified in the Proxy, the persons named in the Proxy will vote the Common Shares represented by the Proxy for the approval of such matter.

Registered Shareholders

Registered Shareholders may wish to vote by proxy whether or not they are able to attend the Meeting in person. Registered shareholders may choose one of the following options to submit their proxy:

  (a)

completing, dating and signing the enclosed form of proxy and returning it to the Company’s transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company of Canada (“Computershare”), by fax within North America at 1- 866-249-7775, outside North America at (416) 263-9524, or by mail to the 8th Floor, 100 University Avenue, Toronto, Ontario, M5J 2Y1 or by hand delivery at 3 rd Floor, 510 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6C 3B9;

     
  (b)

use a touch-tone phone to transmit voting choices to a toll-free number. Registered shareholders must follow the instructions of the voice response system and refer to the enclosed proxy form for the toll-free number, the holder’s account number and the control number; or

     
  (c)

use the internet through the website of the Company’s transfer agent at www.investorvote.com. Registered Shareholders must follow the instructions that appear on the screen and refer to the enclosed proxy form for the holder’s account number and the control number.

In all cases the Registered Shareholder must ensure the proxy is received at least 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and statutory holidays) before the Meeting, or the adjournment thereof, at which the proxy is to be used.

Beneficial Shareholders

The following information is of significant importance to shareholders who do not hold Common Shares in their own name. Beneficial Shareholders should note that the only proxies that can be recognized and acted upon at the Meeting are those deposited by registered shareholders (those whose names appear on the records of the Company as the registered holders of Common Shares) or as set out in the following disclosure.

If Common Shares are listed in an account statement provided to a shareholder by a broker, then in almost all cases those Common Shares will not be registered in the shareholder’s name on the records of the Company. Such Common Shares will more likely be registered under the names of the shareholder’s broker or an agent of that broker. In Canada, the vast majority of such Common Shares are registered under the name of CDS & Co. (the registration name for The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited, which acts as nominee for many Canadian brokerage firms), and in the United States (the “U.S.”), under the name of Cede & Co. as nominee for The Depository Trust Company (which acts as depositary for many U.S. brokerage firms and custodian banks).

Intermediaries are required to seek voting instructions from Beneficial Shareholders in advance of shareholder meetings. Every intermediary has its own mailing procedures and provides its own return instructions to clients.

You should carefully follow the instructions of your broker or intermediary in order to ensure that your Common Shares are voted at the Meeting.


- 3 -

The form of proxy supplied to you by your broker will be similar to the Proxy provided to registered shareholders by the Company. However, its purpose is limited to instructing the intermediary on how to vote your Common Shares on your behalf. Most brokers now delegate responsibility for obtaining instructions from clients to Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”) in Canada and in the United States. Broadridge mails a voting instruction form (a “VIF”) in lieu of a Proxy provided by the Company. The VIF will name the same persons as the Company’s Proxy to represent your Common Shares at the Meeting. You have the right to appoint a person (who need not be a Beneficial Shareholder of the Company), other than any of the persons designated in the VIF to represent your Common Shares at the Meeting and that person may be you. To exercise this right, insert the name of the desired representative (which may be you), in the blank space provided in the VIF. The completed VIF must then be returned to Broadridge by mail or facsimile or given to Broadridge by phone or over the internet, in accordance with Broadridge’s instructions. Broadridge then tabulates the results of all instructions received and provides appropriate instructions respecting voting of Common Shares to be represented at the Meeting. If you receive a VIF from Broadridge, the VIF must be completed and returned to Broadridge, in accordance with Broadridge’s instructions, well in advance of the Meeting in order to have the Common Shares voted at the Meeting, or to have an alternate representative duly appointed to attend the Meeting and vote your Common Shares.

Notice to United States Shareholders

The solicitation of proxies is not subject to the requirements of Section 14(a) of the U.S. Exchange Act by virtue of an exemption applicable to proxy solicitations by foreign private issuers as defined in Rule 3b-4 of the U.S. Exchange Act. Accordingly, this Information Circular has been prepared in accordance with applicable Canadian disclosure requirements. Residents of the United States should be aware that such requirements differ from those of the United States applicable to proxy statements under the U.S. Exchange Act.

This document does not address any income tax consequences of the disposition of the Company shares by shareholders. Shareholders in a jurisdiction outside of Canada should be aware that the disposition of shares by them may have tax consequences both in those jurisdictions and in Canada, and are urged to consult their tax advisors with respect to their particular circumstances and the tax considerations applicable to them.

Any information concerning any properties and operations of the Company has been prepared in accordance with Canadian standards under applicable Canadian securities laws, and may not be comparable to similar information for United States companies.

Financial statements included or incorporated by reference herein have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and are subject to auditing and auditor independence standards in Canada, and reconciled to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Such consequences for the Company Shareholders who are resident in, or citizens of, the United States may not be described fully in this Information Circular.

The enforcement by the Company Shareholders of civil liabilities under the United States federal securities laws may be affected adversely by the fact that the Company is incorporated or organized under the laws of a foreign country, that some or all of their officers and directors and the experts named herein are residents of a foreign country and that the major assets of the Company are located outside the United States.

Revocation of Proxies

In addition to revocation in any other manner permitted by law, a registered shareholder who has given a proxy may revoke it by:

  (a)

executing a proxy bearing a later date or by executing a valid notice of revocation, either of the foregoing to be executed by the registered shareholder or the registered shareholder’s authorized attorney in writing, or, if the shareholder is a corporation, under its corporate seal by an officer or attorney duly authorized, and by delivering the proxy bearing a later date to Computershare, at any time up to and including the last business day that precedes the day of the Meeting or, if the Meeting is adjourned, the last business day that precedes any reconvening thereof, or to the chairman of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting or any reconvening thereof, or in any other manner provided by law; or

     
  (b)

personally attending the Meeting and voting the registered shareholder’s Common Shares.

A revocation of a proxy will not affect a matter on which a vote is taken before the revocation.


- 4 -

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

No director or executive officer of the Company, nor any person who has held such a position since the beginning of the last completed financial year end of the Company, nor any proposed nominee for election as a director of the Company, \nor any associate or affiliate of the foregoing persons, has any substantial or material interest, direct or indirect, by way of beneficial ownership of securities or otherwise, in any matter to be acted on at the Meeting other than the election of directors, the appointment of the auditor, and as otherwise set out herein.

Advance Notice Provision

At the Company’s annual general and special meeting held on March 17, 2014, the Company’s shareholders approved the alteration of the Company’s articles for the purpose of adopting advance notice provisions (the “Advance Notice Provision”). The Advance Notice Provision provides for advance notice to the Company in circumstances where nominations of persons for election to the Board are made by shareholders of the Company other than pursuant to (i) a requisition of a meeting made pursuant to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) or (ii) a shareholder proposal made pursuant to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia).

The purpose of the Advance Notice Provision is to foster a variety of interests of the shareholders and the Company by ensuring that all shareholders - including those participating in a meeting by proxy rather than in person - receive adequate notice of the nominations to be considered at a meeting and can thereby exercise their voting rights in an informed manner. Among other things, the Advance Notice Provision fixes a deadline by which holders of Common Shares must submit director nominations to the Company prior to any annual or special meeting of shareholders and sets forth the minimum information that a shareholder must include in the notice to the Company for the notice to be in proper written form.

The Advance Notice Provision also requires all proposed director nominees to deliver a written representation and agreement that such candidate for nomination, if elected as a director of the Company, will comply with all applicable corporate governance, conflict of interest, confidentiality, share ownership, majority voting and insider trading policies and other policies and guidelines of the Company applicable to directors and in effect during such person’s term in office as a director.

The foregoing is merely a summary of the Advance Notice Provision, is not comprehensive and is qualified by the full text of such provision in the Company’s Altered Articles, which is available under the Company’s profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

The Company did not receive notice of a nomination in compliance with the Advance Notice Provision, and as such, any nominations other than nominations by or at the direction of the Board or an authorized officer of the Company will be disregarded at the Meeting.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT EACH SHAREHOLDER VOTE “FOR” THE ELECTION OF THE ABOVE NOMINEES AS DIRECTORS.

Majority Voting Policy

The Company has adopted a majority voting policy (the “Majority Voting Policy”) that applies to the election of directors. Under the Majority Voting Policy, a director who is elected with more votes withheld than cast in favour of his or her election will be required to tender his or her resignation to the Chairman of the Board. The resignation will be effective when accepted by the Board and the nominee director will not participate in any committee or Board meetings or deliberations on this matter. The Majority Voting Policy does not apply in circumstances involving contested director elections.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider the resignation and make a recommendation to the Board on whether the resignation should be accepted. In considering the recommendation of the Corporate Governance Committee, the Board will consider the factors taken into account by the committee and such additional information and factors that the Board considers to be relevant. The Board expects that resignations will be accepted unless there are extenuating circumstances that warrant a contrary decision.

The Board will announce its decision (including the reasons for not accepting any resignation) by way of a news release within 90 days of the date of the meeting at which the election occurred and provide a copy of the news release to the TSE. If the resignation is accepted, subject to any applicable law, the Board may leave the resultant vacancy unfilled until the next annual general meeting, fill the vacancy through the appointment of a new director, or call a special meeting of shareholders at which there will be presented one or more nominees to fill any vacancy or vacancies.

A copy of the Majority Voting Policy can be viewed on the Company’s website as part of the 2017 Meeting Materials at https://auroramj.com/investors.

OTHER COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD

The Company also has a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and a Compensation Committee, described below:

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017, the members of the Company’s Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee were: Jason Dyck (Chair), Adam Szweras, Michael Singer and Barry Fishman. Barry Fishman resigned as a director of the Company on September 25, 2017. The Company adopted a Nominating and Corporate Governance charter. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for screening nominees to the Board. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee annually assesses the skills and qualifications of directors and nominees to ensure the members of the board of directors have the skills and qualifications appropriate to the current needs of the Company. This Committee meets as required to review and make recommendations to the board of directors on all direct and indirect compensation, benefits and perquisites for senior management and directors of the Company.

This year the board has decided that seven directors are to be elected. The Company’s goal is to assemble a board with the appropriate background, knowledge, skills and diversity to effectively carry out its duties, oversee the Company’s strategy and business affairs and foster a climate that allows the board to constructively guide and challenge management.

Key attributes

The Company expects all board members to be financially literate, independent minded and team players. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also considers the below factors when assessing potential candidates:

•  

the board’s overall mix of skills and experience

•  

how actively the candidates participate in meetings and develop an understanding of our business

•  

their character, integrity, judgment and record of achievement

•  

diversity (including gender, aboriginal heritage, age, sexual orientation and geographic representation)

All of the current directors of the Company are independent, with the exception of Terry Booth (Chief Executive Officer), Steve Dobler (President) and Joseph del Moral (Chief Executive Officer of CanvaRx).


- 12 -

Each of the nominated directors is eligible to serve as a director and has expressed their willingness to do so. Directors who are elected will serve until the end of the next annual meeting, or until a successor is elected or appointed.

See “Director Biographies/Nominee Biography” above for more information about the Board.

Compensation Committee

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017, the members of the Compensation Committee were: Adam Szweras (Chair), Michael Singer, Steve Dobler and Barry Fishman. Mr. Fishman resigned as a director of the Company on September 25, 2017. Michael Singer and Adam Szweras are independent members of this Committee. Steve Dobler is not independent (President of the Company). The Company has adopted a Compensation Committee Charter. The Compensation Committee conducts reviews with regard to the directors’ and the Chief Executive Officer’s compensation once a year. To make its recommendation on directors’ and the Chief Executive Officer’s compensation, this Committee takes into account the types of compensation and the amounts paid to directors and Chief Executive Officers of comparable publicly traded Canadian companies. Members of the Compensation Committee do not currently receive any remuneration for acting in such capacity.

The Company also has in place a Disclosure Confidentiality and Insider Trading Policy, a Securities Trading and Reporting Policy, and Whistle Blower Policy.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

The Board believes that good corporate governance improves corporate performance and benefits all shareholders. The Canadian Securities Administrators (the “CSA”) have adopted National Policy 58-201 Corporate Governance Guidelines, which provides non-prescriptive guidelines on corporate governance practices for reporting issuers such as the Company. In addition, the CSA has implemented National Instrument 58-101F2 Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices, which prescribes certain disclosure by the Company of its corporate governance practices. A complete description of corporate governance is set out in the Statement of Corporate Governance Practices attached as Schedule A to this Information Circular.

The Company recognizes the benefits of having a diverse Board, and seeks to increase diversity at the Board level. The Company does not maintain quotas or targets regarding gender representation on the Board or in executive officer positions. All Board appointments will be made based on merit, in the context of the skills, experience, independence, knowledge and other qualities which the Board as a whole requires to be effective, with due regard for the benefits of diversity (including the level of representation of women on the Board). As at the date hereof, the Company has three senior officers who are female. The Company recruits, manages and promotes on the basis of an individual’s competence, qualification, experience and performance, regardless of gender, age, ethnic origin, religion, sexual orientation or disability or other aspects of diversity in executive officer positions.

The Board’s mandate expressly encourages a diversity of background skills and experience and personal characteristics among the directors. As a result, while neither a written policy nor targets relating to the identification and nomination of female directors have been adopted to date and the emphasis in filling Board vacancies is on finding the best qualified candidates given the needs and circumstances of the Board, a nominee’s diversity will be considered favourably in the identification and selection process.

The Board has not adopted any policies that specifically address the appointment of women to executive officers positions. The Board believes that executive officer appointments should be made on the basis of the skills, knowledge, experience and character of individual candidates and the requirements of management at the time. The Company believes that considering the broadest group of individuals is required to provide the leadership needed to achieve the Company’s business objectives; however, due to the relatively small size of the Company’s executive leadership, the representation of women in executive officer positions has not been considered when making executive officer appointments and the Company has not adopted targets regarding the representation of women in executive officer positions for the reasons stated above.

COMPENSATION OF EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

The Board has assessed the Company’s compensation plans for its executive officers to ensure alignment with the Company’s business plan and to evaluate the potential risks associated with those plans and programs. The Board has concluded that the compensation policies and practices do not create any risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Board considers the risks associated with executive compensation and corporate incentive plans when designing and reviewing such plans and programs.


- 13 -

The Company has not adopted a policy restricting its executive officers or directors from purchasing financial instruments that are designed to hedge or offset a decrease in market value of equity securities granted as compensation or held, directly or indirectly, by its executive officers or directors. To the knowledge of the Company, none of the executive officers or directors have purchased such financial instruments.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

This section provides the Company’s approach to executive compensation by outlining the processes and decisions supporting the determination of the amounts which the Company paid to its Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and its three other most highly compensated executives during the financial year ended June 30, 2017 (the “NEOs”). While this discussion relates to the NEOs, the other executives of the Company participate in the same plans and are subject to a similar process.

The Compensation Committee assists the Board in discharging the Board’s oversight responsibilities relating to the compensation and retention of Executive Officers. The Compensation Committee’s responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

  •   Setting policies for Executive Officers’ remuneration;
     
  •   Reviewing and approving and then recommending to the Board salary, bonus, and other benefits, direct or indirect, and any change-of-control packages of the Chief Executive Officer;
     
  •   Considering the recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer and setting the terms and conditions of employment including, approving the salary, bonus, and other benefits, direct or indirect, and any change-of- control packages, of the Executive Officers of the Company; and
     
  •   Overseeing the administration of the Company’s compensation plans, including share option plans (the “Share Option Plan”), and such other compensation plans or structures as are adopted by the Company from time to time.
     
  •   Approve employment agreements for Executive Officers.

The Compensation Committee makes recommendations to the Board regarding (a) Executive Officers’ base salary, annual bonus awards and share option grants; (b) annual and long-term quantitative goals and the annual qualitative goals for the Executive Officers; and (c) participation in the Share Option Plan and amendments to the Share Option Plan, as necessary.

The following executive compensation principles guide the Compensation Committee in fulfilling its roles and responsibilities in the design and ongoing administration of the Company’s executive compensation program:

  •  

Compensation levels and opportunities must be market competitive to attract and retain qualified and experienced executives, while being fair and reasonable to shareholders;

   

  •  

Compensation must incorporate an appropriate balance of short and long-term rewards; and

   

  •  

Compensation programs must align executives’ long-term financial interests with those of shareholders by providing equity-based incentives.

The Company does not have formal benchmarks for assessing and setting executive compensation, however, the Company reviews compensation programs of companies in its peer group to ensure that executive compensation is within the parameters of companies of a similar size and in the same industry. Levels of compensation are also established and maintained with the intent of attracting and retaining superior quality employees while ensuring that the levels are not contrary to the interests of shareholders.

The Company’s general executive compensation philosophy is to, whenever possible, pay its Executive Officers “base” compensation in the form of salaries that are competitive in comparison to those earned by executive officers holding comparable positions with other Canadian publicly traded entities similar to the Company while at the same time providing its Executive Officers with the opportunity to earn above average “total” compensation through the potential attainment of annual incentive bonuses and through the Share Option Plan and other equity-based compensation structures as may be approved by the Company’s shareholders.


- 14 -

The Company’s executive compensation program is designed to encourage, compensate and reward employees on the basis of individual and corporate performance, both in the short and the long term. For NEOs, the compensation program is designed to provide a larger portion of variable incentives tied to corporate performance. NEO compensation includes base salary and benefits, bonuses and Share options. Salaries are a base level of compensation designed to attract and retain executive offices with the appropriate skills and experience. Bonuses are designed to reward NEOs for the achievement of short term corporate objective and individual contribution towards achieving those objectives, while option grants through the Company’s Share Option Plan was designed to provide incentives to increase shareholder value over the longer-term and thereby better align executive compensation with the interests of shareholders.

Each element of executive compensation is carefully considered by the Compensation Committee to ensure that the there is the right mix of short-term and long-term incentives for the purposes of achieving the Companies goals and objectives.

Base Salary

Salaries paid to the NEOs in 2017 and 2016 are reflected in the “Summary Compensation Table” below. An NEO’s base salary is intended to remunerate the NEO for discharging job responsibilities and reflects the executive’s performance over time. Individual salary adjustments take into account performance contributions in connection with their specific duties. The base salaries for NEOs are set out in their employment agreements, the terms of which are described below. The base salary of each executive officer is determined by the Board based on an assessment by the Compensation Committee of his or her sustained performance and consideration of competitive compensation levels for the markets in which the Company operates. In making its recommendations to the Board, the Compensation Committee also considers the particular skills and experience of the individual. A final determination on executive compensation, including salary, is made by the Board in its sole discretion based on the recommendations of the Compensation Committee and its knowledge of the industry and geographic markets in which the Company operates. The Compensation Committee does not use any type of quantitative formula to determine the base salary level of any of the NEOs.

Base salaries are reviewed annually to ensure that they properly reflect a balance of market conditions, the levels of responsibilities and accountability of each individual, their unique experience, skills and capability and level of sustained performance.

Option Based Awards

The Share option component of Executive Officers’ compensation is intended to advance the interests of the Company by encouraging the directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company to remain associated with the Company and providing them with additional incentive in their efforts on behalf of the Company in the conduct of its affairs. Grants under the Share Option Plan are intended to provide long term awards linked directly to the market value performance of the Company’s shares. The Compensation Committee reviews management’s recommendations and itself recommends to the Board. Share options are granted according to the specific level of responsibility of the particular executive and the number of options for each level of responsibility is determined by the Compensation Committee.

The number of outstanding options is considered by the Compensation Committee when determining the number of options to be granted in any particular year due to the limited number of options which are available for grant under the Share Option Plan.

Refer to heading “PARTICULARS OF MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON – Adoption of New Form 10% “Rolling” Share Option Plan/Unallocated Option Entitlements” below.

Annual Incentives

The Compensation Committee believes that incentive compensation motivates individual performance to maximize shareholder value and aligns executive officer performance with the Company’s objectives and shareholder interests.

The Board has approved a bonus plan that is meant to increase corporate performance, profitability and shareholder value. Under the plan, cash payments are made when predetermined operational and financial targets are met. In addition, the Compensation Committee factors into the bonus its assessment of each executive officer’s respective contribution to this achievement.

For the fiscal year 2018, the Board approved a management bonus plan (the “Management Bonus Plan”) composed of corporate, divisional and individual measures and based on a percentage of base salary determined by the position level. The CEO has a Target percentage incentive level of 75%. Other NEOs have a Target percentage incentive level of 50%.


- 15 -

In recognition of senior management’s superior performance in 2017, the bonus payouts for the CEO and President were paid as per their employment agreements (35% and 30% respectively) with additional amounts awarded in restricted share units (40% and 20% respectively). The payouts for all other NEOs were made 50% in cash and 50% in RSUs, subject to shareholder approval of the RSU plan.

There were no bonuses awarded in respect of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016.

Refer to heading “PARTICULARS OF MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON - Adoption of New Form 10% “Rolling” Share Option Plan/Unallocated Option Entitlements” below.

Employee Share Purchase Plan

The Board resolved on September 25, 2017, the adoption of an employee share purchase plan (the “ESPP”). The ESPP was established to encourage employee share ownership. The Company is of the view that it is in the best interests of the Company to have the interests of its employees aligned with the shareholders of the Company and provide employees with the opportunity to participate in the growth of the Company.

Key Features of the ESPP

Any individual who is an Employee shall be eligible to enrol and become a Participant in the ESPP at any time after that Employee has completed six months of continuous service on a full-time basis or 20 hours per week for three months on a part-time basis with any Employer.

Eligible employees of the Company may elect to participate in the ESPP by contributing at least 1%, but no more than 10% of their gross pay, provided, however, that in no event shall a Participant’s payroll deductions in any calendar year exceed CDN$10,500 as defined in the ESPP. The Company will contribute $1.00 for every $2.00 contributed by that Participant. The funds so provided will be used to purchase shares of the Company on the open market at prevailing market prices. These combined contributions are held in trust by the ESPP Adminstrator, Solium Capital Inc., and used to purchase Common Shares through the facilities of the TSE on a regular basis. No Common Shares are issued from treasury in respect of the ESPP. The ESPP provides that all Common Shares held in the personal account of a Participant shall at all times be vested immediately in order to increase the overall attractiveness of the program to employees with the goal of increasing overall enrolment and participation. All expenses related to the purchase of Common Shares under the ESPP are paid by the Company, while all expenses related to the sale of Common Shares from the ESPP are paid by the Participants. Pursuant to its terms, the Company may amend or terminate the ESPP at any time.

CanvasRx is a counselling and outreach service provider with over 24 physical locations in the provinces of Ontario and Alberta, Canada.

Pursuant to Acquisition, the Company may pay up to $26,750,000 upon achievement of future performance milestones related to new counseling rooms opened, patient accruals and revenue targets, over a period of three years from the date of closing (Earn-out Payments). The Earn-out Payments may be satisfied, at the Company’s sole discretion, in cash or Common Shares at a 15% discount to the market price at the date of issuance, unless the market price of the Company’s shares is $0.47 or below, at which point the Earn-out Payments are convertible into a fixed number of shares.

MANAGEMENT CONTRACTS

Except as set out herein, there are no management functions of the Company which are to any substantial degree performed by a person or company other than the directors or executive officers of the Company.

PARTICULARS OF MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON

A.

Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation

It is the Company’s belief that its shareholders should have the opportunity to fully understand the objectives, philosophy and principles the Board has used in its approach to executive compensation decisions and to have an advisory vote on the Board’s approach to executive compensation.

Although an annual vote by shareholders on our compensation practices is not mandatory in Canada, we believe it is an essential part of good governance and enhances shareholder engagement by giving the shareholders a formal opportunity to provide their views on the disclosed objectives of the executive compensation plans and on the plans themselves. While shareholders will provide their collective “say on pay”, the Board remains fully responsible for their compensation decision and are not relieved of their responsibilities. Because the say on pay resolution is an advisory vote, the results are non-binding; however, the Board and Compensation Committee will take the results of the vote into account when considering future compensation policies, procedures and decisions.

For additional information regarding the Company’s approach to executive, shareholders should review the section “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” in this Information Circular.

The Board recognizes that say on pay is an evolving area in Canada and globally, and will continue to review this policy annually to ensure that it is effective in achieving its goals.

Shareholders are being asked at the Meeting to consider and approve the following ordinary resolution:

BE IT RESOLVED that on an advisory basis, and not to diminish the role and responsibilities of the Board of Directors, the Shareholders accept the Board’s approach to executive compensation disclosed in the Company’s Information Circular dated October 2, 2017 delivered in advance of the annual general and special meeting of shareholders held on November 13, 2017.”

To pass, the resolution must be approved by a simple majority of votes cast at the meeting (50% plus one vote) to approve the non-binding advisory resolution on the Company’s approach to executive compensation.

The management proxyholders intend to vote FOR the advisory resolution approving our approach to executive compensation, except in relation to Common Shares held by a Shareholder who instructs otherwise.

B.

Adoption of Fixed Restricted Share Unit Plan/Restricted Share Unit Awards

On September 25, 2017, the Board approved and ratified the adoption by the Company of a fixed restricted share unit plan (the “Fixed RSU Plan”). The RSU Plan was designed to provide certain directors, officers and other key employees of the Company and its related entities with the opportunity to acquire restricted share units ("RSUs") of the Company in order to enable them to participate in the long-term success of the Company and to promote a greater alignment of their interests with the interests of the Shareholders. The Board (or such other committee the Board may appoint) is responsible for administering the RSU Plan.

The RSU Plan allows the Company to grant RSUs, under and subject to the terms and conditions of the RSU Plan, which may be exercised to purchase up to a maximum of 10,000,000 Shares. The aggregate maximum number of Common Shares that may be reserved for issuance under the RSU Plan is 10,000,000, representing 2.69% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares at September 25, 2017. Pending shareholder approval to the RSU Plan and shareholder approval to the total of 2,127,128 RSU grants issued on September 29, 2017, a total of 7,872,872 RSUs are available for grant under the RSU Plan, representing 2.12% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares at September 25, 2017.


- 28 -

At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if deemed advisable, to approve the following ordinary resolution of shareholders to consider, and if deemed advisable, to approve the adoption of the Fixed Restricted Share Unit Plan. A copy of the Fixed Restricted Share Unit Plan is attached to this Information Circular as Schedule D.

The following is a summary of the RSU Plan. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this section of the Information Circular shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the RSU Plan.

Benefits of the RSU Plan

The RSU Plan is designed to be a long term incentive for the directors, officers and other key employees of the Company (“Participants”) to provide for the acquisition of Common Shares by Participants for the purpose of advancing the interests of the Company through the motivation, attraction and retention of employees, directors and consultants of the Company and its designated affiliates and to secure for the Company and the shareholders of the Company the benefits inherent in the ownership of Common Shares by key employees, consultants and directors of the Company and its designated affiliates the opportunity offered to them to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company.

Nature and Administration of the RSU Plan

All Participants (as defined in the RSU Plan) of the Company and its related entities are eligible to participate in the RSU Plan (as "RSU Plan Participants"), though the Company reserves the right to restrict eligibility or otherwise limit the number of persons eligible for participation in the RSU Plan at any time. Eligibility to participate in the RSU Plan does not confer upon any person a right to receive an award of RSUs. The RSU Plan shall be administered by the Directors or a committee appointed by the Board who will administer the RSU Plan and who can, from time to time, award RSUs to RSU Plan Participants (the “Committee”). RSUs will be credited to an account maintained for each RSU Plan Participant on the books of the Company as of the award date. The number of RSUs to be credited to each RSU Plan Participant's account shall be determined at the discretion of the Board and pursuant to the terms of the RSU Plan.

Maximum Number of Shares

The maximum number of Common Shares made available for the RSU Plan shall not exceed 10,000,000 Common Shares, subject to adjustments pursuant the RSU Plan. The aggregate number of Common Shares issuable to Insiders pursuant to RSUs granted and all other security based compensation arrangements, at any time, shall not exceed 10% of the total number of Common Shares then outstanding. The aggregate number of Common Shares issued to Insiders pursuant to RSUs and all other security based compensation arrangements, within a one year period, shall not exceed 10% of the total number of Common Shares then outstanding. The number of Common Shares then outstanding shall mean the number of Common Shares outstanding on a non-diluted basis immediately prior to the proposed grant of the applicable RSUs.

Restricted Period

The restricted period is subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors.

Payment of Dividends

In the event a cash dividend is paid to shareholders of the Company on the Common Shares while an RSU is outstanding, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, elect to credit each RSU Plan Participant with additional RSUs. In such case, the number of additional RSUs will be equal to the aggregate amount of dividends that would have been paid to the RSU Plan Participant if the RSUs in the RSU Plan Participant’s account on the record date had been Common Shares divided by the Market Price (as such term is defined in the TSE Company Manual) of a Common Shares on the date on which dividends were paid by the Company. If the foregoing shall result in a fractional RSU, the fraction shall be disregarded.

Death or Disability of Participant

Subject to any provisions with respect to vesting of RSUs in an RSU Plan Participant’s employment agreement with the Company, in the event of the total disability or death of an RSU Plan Participant, any RSUs held by the RSU Plan Participant shall vest immediately and the Company shall issue RSUs to the RSU Plan Participant or legal personal representatives of the RSU Plan Participant forthwith in full satisfaction thereof.

“Restricted Period” (defined in the RSU Plan) means any period of time during which an RSU is not vested and the RSU Plan Participant holding such RSU remains ineligible to receive Restricted Share Units (defined in the RSU Plan) as determined by the Committee in its absolute discretion, however, such period of time may be reduced or eliminated from time to time and at any time and for any reason as determined by the Committee, including but not limited to circumstances involving death or disability of an RSU Plan Participant.


- 29 -

Retirement or Termination during Restricted Period

Subject to any provisions with respect to vesting of RSUs in an RSU Plan Participant’s employment agreement with the Company, in the event of the Retirement or Termination of an RSU Plan Participant during the Restricted Period, any Restricted Share Units held by the Participant shall immediately terminate and be of no further force or effect, provided that the Committee has the absolute discretion to waive such termination.

Retirement or Termination after Restricted Period

Subject to any provisions with respect to vesting of RSUs in an RSU Plan Participant’s employment agreement with the Company, in the event of the Retirement or Termination of the RSU Plan Participant following the Restricted Period and prior to the Deferred Payment Date (defined in the RSU Plan as the date after the Restricted Period which is the earlier of (i) the date to which the RSU Plan Participant has elected to defer receipt of Restricted Share Units in accordance with the RSU Plan; and (ii) the RSU Plan Participant’s Termination or Retirement Date) the RSU Plan Participant shall be entitled to receive and the Company shall issue forthwith Restricted Shares in satisfaction of the RSUs then held by the RSU Plan Participant.

Adjustments

In the event there is any change in the Common Shares, whether by reason of a stock dividend, consolidation, subdivision, reclassification or otherwise, an appropriate adjustment shall be made by the Committee in:

  (a)

the number of Common Shares available under the RSU Plan; and

     
  (b)

the number of Common Shares subject to any outstanding RSUs.

If the foregoing adjustment shall result in a fractional Common Share, the fraction shall be disregarded. All such adjustments shall be conclusive, final and binding for all purposes of the RSU Plan.

Change of Control

Subject to any provisions with respect to vesting of RSUs in an RSU Plan Participant’s employment agreement with the Company, in the event of a Change of Control, all RSUs outstanding shall vest or be deemed to have vested immediately prior to the Change of Control and be forthwith settled by the issuance of applicable Restricted Shares notwithstanding the Restricted Period and any applicable Deferred Payment Date.

Non-Assignable

The RSUs are non-assignable.

Amendment or Termination of RSU Plan

The Committee may from time to time in the absolute discretion of the Committee (without shareholder approval) amend, modify and change the provisions of the RSU Plan, including, without limitation:

  (i)

amendments of a house keeping nature; and

     
  (ii)

changes to the Restricted Period of any RSU.

However, other than as set out above, any amendment, modification or change to the provisions of the RSUP Plan which would:

  (a)

materially increase the benefits of the holder under the RSU Plan to the detriment of the Company and its shareholders;

     
  (b)

increase the maximum number of Common Shares, which may be issued pursuant to the RSU Plan;

     
  (c)

reduce the range of amendments requiring shareholder approval contemplated in this Section;

     
  (d)

permit RSUs to be transferred other than for normal estate settlement purposes;

     
  (e)

change insider participation limits and the director limits which would result in shareholder approval to be required on a disinterested basis; or

     
  (f)

materially modify the requirements as to eligibility for participation in the RSU Plan;



- 30 -

shall only be effective upon such amendment, modification or change being approved by the shareholders of the Company. In addition, any such amendment, modification or change of any provision of the RSU Plan shall be subject to the approval, if required, by any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the securities of the Company.

The RSU Plan herein shall become effective on the date on which it is approved by the shareholders. The RSU Plan shall remain in effect until it is terminated by the Directors.

Prior to the date of this Information Circular, the Company granted RSUs to insiders, employees and consultants, which grants are subject to shareholder approval.

C.

Effective on July 24, 2017, the Company Common Shares commenced trading on the TSE. The Company’s current share option plan is a 10% “rolling” share option plan in accordance with provisions of a venture exchange issuer.

As a result of the TSE Company Manual pertaining to security based compensation arrangements, on September 25, 2017 the Board adopted a new 10% “rolling” share option plan to conform to the TSE Company Manual and to consolidate all outstanding stock options from its current share option plan.

The Company’s new form “rolling” share option plan is dated for reference September 25, 2017 (the “2017 Plan”). A “rolling” plan is a share option plan which does not have a fixed number of securities issuable. The 2017 Plan was established to provide incentives to increase individual performance and shareholder value, and to assist with the retention of employees. Information as to the number of Options outstanding is included under the heading “Equity Compensation Plan Information” in this Information Circular.

The 2017 Plan has been filed with the TSE and is conditionally approved subject to shareholder approval.

At September 25, 2017, under the Company current share option plan (referred to herein as the “Old Plan”), a total of 15,586,150 stock options have been granted and are outstanding. The Company will not be granting further stock options under the Old Plan. The 2017 Plan will be the sole share option plan utilized by the Company for security based compensation and long term incentive.

A total of 15,586,150 stock options outstanding under the Old Plan will be transferred over to the Company’s 2017 Plan (which represents 4,19% of the 371,569,751 issued and outstanding share capital at September 25, 2017). Following shareholder approval to the 2017 Plan, the Old Plan will cease to exist, and those outstanding stock options which have been granted prior to the implementation of the 2017 Plan shall, for the purpose of calculating the number of stock options that may be granted under the 2017 Plan, be treated as options granted under the 2017 Plan. The aggregate maximum number of Common Shares that may be reserved for issuance under the 2017 Plan is 10% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares. Pending shareholder approval to the Restricted Share Unit Plan and the total 2,127,128 RSUs granted on September 29, 2017, a total of 19,443,697 stock options are available for grant under the 2017 Plan, representing 5.23% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares at September 25, 2017.

At the Meeting, the Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if deemed advisable, to approve by ordinary resolution, the adoption of the 2017 Plan. A copy of the 2017 Plan is attached to this Information Circular as Schedule E.

- 4 -

The compensation of the CEO will be determined by the Board’s Compensation Committee and the Committee may take into account advice from independent compensation consultants as it may deem appropriate. The compensation of the CEO will be linked with the financial performance of the Company, the implementation of strategies and the achievement of the Company goals and objectives.

The CEO will on a regular basis review succession planning with the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

Article 6. Position Descriptions

The Board will develop clear position descriptions for the Chairman of the Board, the chair of each committee and the CEO.

Article 7. Orientation and Continuing Education

The Board will ensure that all new directors receive a comprehensive orientation which will include education regarding the role of the Board and its committees, the expectations of individual directors and the nature and operation of the Company’s business.

Article 8. Strategic Planning

The Board will adopt a strategic plan and, on an annual basis, re-evaluate the strategic plan. The Board may in the exercise of its strategic planning function utilize Company resources to the extent required and also rely on such independent strategic advisors as the Board deems appropriate.

The strategic plan will include at least the following:

  a.

an evaluation of the opportunities and risks of the business of the Company;

     
  b.

an analysis of the industry, including consideration of its dominant economic features, strength of competitors and competitive forces, changes in the competitive structure and changes in the business environment.

In addition, the Company’s competitive position relative to its major competitors must be considered and strategic challenges must be identified; and

     
  d.

Consideration whether there is room for improvement of the present strategic position.


Article 9. Risk Analysis

Since business risks are an ongoing threat to the Company, it is not sufficient to analyze risks on an annual basis when the strategic position of the company is determined. The Board will implement a policy for assessing the business risks in each area of the Company on an ongoing basis, which must include a critical risk assessment of the Company’s supply chain, technology, operations, sales and marketing, distribution and customer service. The Board will establish a procedure for the identification and assessment of the risks and the development and implementation of the mechanisms, processes and procedures for assessing and, if necessary, changing current practices and ensure effective implementation of risk avoidance measures and systems.

Article 11. Communication Policy

The Board will develop a policy that outlines the reporting requirements, procedures and practices required under applicable securities laws and stock exchange rules. In addition, the communication policy will define the guidelines for communication with employees, the media, shareholders, creditors, political interest groups and government.

Article 12. Internal Controls and Management Information Systems

The Board will, in conjunction with the Company’s Auditors or other external advisors, establish a policy to ensure that sufficient internal controls exist to monitor the financial performance of the Company, its separate divisions and departments. The Board will ensure that management implements:

information systems that are capable of providing accurate reports relating to efficiency, productivity, cost and profitability;

     
  b.

internal controls relating to accounting, controlling and finance; and

     
  c.

a management operating system to assist with forecasting, planning, work assignment, follow-up and verification, feedback, reporting evaluation and continuous improvement.

ARTICLE II
STOCK OPTION PLAN

2.1

Options to purchase Common Shares may be granted hereunder to Eligible Persons.

- 3 -



2.2

Determination of Option Recipients

The Board or as the Board may delegate to the Compensation Committee shall make all necessary or desirable determinations regarding the granting of Options to Eligible Persons and may take into consideration the past and potential contributions of a particular Eligible Person to the success of the Company and any other factors that it may deem proper and relevant.

2.3

Exercise Price

The exercise price per Common Share shall be determined by the Board at the time the Option is granted, but, in any event, shall not be less than the closing price of the Common Shares on the Exchange ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the grant date of the Option.

2.4

Grant of Options

The Board may, at any time, authorize the granting of Options to such Eligible Persons as it may select for the number of Common Shares that it shall designate, subject to the provisions of the Plan. The grant date of an Option shall be the date the Board approves such grant or a later effective date of grant, if so determined by the Board at the time of approving the grant of such Option. No Option is intended to qualify as an “incentive stock option” as described in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code (United States).

2.5

Option Commitment

Each Option granted to an Optionee shall be evidenced by an Option Commitment detailing the terms of the Option and, upon delivery of the Option Commitment to the Optionee by the Company, the Optionee shall have the right to purchase the Common Shares underlying the Option at the exercise price set out therein, subject to any provisions as to the vesting of the Option and the other terms of the Plan.

2.6

Terms of Options

The Option Period shall be determined by the Board at the time of granting the Options provided, however, that the Option Period must not extend beyond five years from the grant date of the Option.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the expiry of an Option Period falls within, or within two (2) Trading Days after the end of, a trading blackout period imposed by or on the Company (the “Blackout Period”), the expiry date of such Option Period shall be automatically extended to the close of the 10th Trading Day following the end of the Blackout Period.

2.7

Vesting

Options granted pursuant to the Plan shall vest and become exercisable by an Optionee at such time or times as may be determined by the Board, and may be made subject to performance conditions as the Board may determine at the time of granting such Options.

- 4 -



2.8

Exercise of Option

Subject to any provisions of the Plan, an Option may be exercised from time to time by delivery to the Company of a written notice of exercise specifying the number of Common Shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised and accompanied by payment in full of the exercise price of the Common Shares to be purchased and any amount required to be withheld for tax purposes. At the discretion of the Chief Financial Officer, a declaration of residency may also be required from an Optionee prior to the issuance of Common Shares. Certificates for such Common Shares shall be issued and delivered to the Optionee within a reasonable time following the receipt of such notice and payment. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, the Company shall not offer financial assistance regarding the exercise of an Option and any such financial assistance will require shareholder approval.

2.9

Lapsed Options

If Options are surrendered, terminated or expire without being exercised in whole or in part, new Options may be granted covering the Common Shares not purchased under such lapsed Options.

2.10

Death or Disability of Optionee

If an Optionee ceases to be an Eligible Person due to death or Disability, any Option held by the Optionee at the date of death or Disability shall be exercisable by the Optionee or the Optionee’s legal heirs or personal representatives, as applicable. All such Options shall be exercisable only to the extent that the Optionee was entitled to exercise the Option at the date of death or Disability and only for 12 months after the date of death or Disability or prior to the expiration of the Option Period in respect thereof, whichever is sooner, subject to the Board determining otherwise in its own discretion upon the grant of such Options or after the occurrence of such death or Disability.

2.11

Termination of Employment or Ceasing to be an Eligible Person

Subject to any provisions with respect to vesting of Options in an Optionee’s employment agreement with the Company, if an Optionee ceases to be an Eligible Person, other than as a result of termination for cause, any Option held by such Optionee at the date such person ceases to be an Eligible Person shall be exercisable only to the extent that the Optionee is entitled to exercise the Option on such date and only for 90 days thereafter (or such longer period as may be prescribed by law or as may be determined by the Board in its sole discretion) or prior to the expiration of the Option Period in respect thereof, whichever is sooner. Subject to the provisions with respect to vesting of Options in an Optionee’s employment agreement with the Company, in the case of an Optionee being terminated for cause, the Option shall immediately terminate and shall no longer be exercisable as of the date of such termination, subject to the Board determining otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, when an Optionee ceases to be an Eligible Person, the Board has discretion to accelerate the vesting of his/her Options and/or allow such Options to continue for a period beyond 90 days, except however, that such Options may not be extended beyond the expiry of their original Option Period.

- 5 -


In the case of an Optionee who is being dismissed from employment or service for cause, or whose services are terminated for cause, such Optionee’s Options, whether or not vested at the date of dismissal will immediately terminate without right to exercise same.

2.12

Effect of Take-Over Bid

If a bona fide offer (the “Offer”) for Common Shares is made to shareholders generally or to a class of shareholders that would include the Optionee, which Offer, if accepted in whole or in part, would result in the offeror (the “Offeror”) exercising control over the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, then the Company shall, as soon as practicable following receipt of the Offer, notify each Optionee of the full particulars of the Offer. The Board will have the sole discretion to amend, abridge or otherwise eliminate any vesting schedule so that notwithstanding the other terms of this Plan, such otherwise unvested Option may be conditionally exercised in whole or in part by the Optionee and the underlying Common Shares may be conditionally issued so (and only so) as to permit the Optionee to tender the Common Shares received in connection with the exercise (the “Optioned Shares”) pursuant to the Offer. If:

(a)     the Offer is not complied with within the time specified therein;

(b)     the Optionee does not tender the Optioned Shares pursuant to the Offer; or

(c)     all of the Optioned Shares tendered by the Optionee pursuant to the Offer are not taken up and paid for by the Offeror in respect thereof;

then at the discretion of the Board, the Options shall be deemed not to have been exercised and the Optioned Shares or, in the case of clause (c) above, the Optioned Shares that are not taken up and paid for, shall be deemed not to have been issued and shall be reinstated as authorized but unissued Common Shares and the terms of the Option as set forth in this Plan and the Option Commitment shall again apply to the Option. If any Optioned Shares are returned to the Company under this Section, the Company shall refund, subject to Company’s obligations under applicable tax law, the exercise price to the Optionee for such Optioned Shares.

2.13

Effect of a Change of Control

Subject to the terms of an Optionee’s employment agreement with respect to a Change of Control of the Company, and unless otherwise determined by the Board prior to such Change of Control, if a Change of Control occurs, all Options then outstanding shall automatically vest, so that, notwithstanding the other terms of this Plan, such Options may be exercised in whole or in part by the Optionee and upon the exercise of an Option under the Plan and, subject to applicable tax withholding requirements, the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive any securities, property or cash (or a combination thereof) which the Optionee would have received upon such Change of Control, if the Optionee had exercised his Option immediately prior to the applicable record date or event, as applicable, and the exercise price shall be adjusted, as applicable, by the Board, unless the Board otherwise determines the basis upon which such Option shall be exercisable, and any such adjustments shall be binding for all purposes of the Plan.

2.14

Adjustment in Common Shares

- 6 -


If there is any change in the Common Shares through or by means of a declaration of stock dividends of Common Shares or consolidations, subdivisions or reclassifications of Common Shares, or otherwise, the number of Common Shares, subject to any Option, and the exercise price thereof and the maximum number of Common Shares that may be issued under the Plan in accordance with Section 3.1(a) shall be adjusted appropriately by the Board, subject to any applicable rules of the Exchange, and such adjustment shall be effective and binding for all purposes of the Plan. An adjustment under Section 2.13 or 2.14 (the “Adjustment Provisions”) will take effect at the time of the event that gives rise to the adjustment, and the Adjustment Provisions are cumulative. The Company will not be required to issue fractional Common Shares in satisfaction of its obligations hereunder. Any fractional interest in a Common Share that would, except for this provision, be deliverable upon the exercise of an Option will be cancelled and not be deliverable by the Company. If any questions arise at any time with respect to the exercise price or number of Common Shares deliverable upon exercise of an Option in connection with any of the events set out in Sections 2.12, 2.13 or 2.14, such questions will be conclusively determined by the Company’s auditors, or, if they decline to so act, any other firm of Chartered Accountants that the Company may designate and who will have access to all appropriate records, and such determination will be binding upon the Company and all Optionees.

ARTICLE III
GENERAL

3.1

With respect to any required withholding, the Company shall have the irrevocable right to, and the Optionee consents to, the Company setting off any amounts required to be withheld, in whole or in part, against amounts otherwise owing by the Company to the Optionee (whether arising pursuant to the Optionee’s relationship as a director, officer, employee or consultant of the Company or otherwise), or may make such other arrangements that are satisfactory to the Optionee and the Company. In addition, the Company may elect, in its sole discretion, to satisfy the withholding requirement, in whole or in part, by withholding such number of Common Shares issuable upon exercise of the Options as it determines are required to be sold by the Company, as agent for the Optionee, to satisfy any withholding obligations net of selling costs. The Optionee consents to such sale and grants to the Company an irrevocable power of attorney to effect the sale of such Common Shares issuable upon exercise of the Options and acknowledges and agrees that the Company does not accept responsibility for the price obtained on the sale of such Common Shares issuable upon exercise of the Options.
