Option activities for the year ended June 30, 2025

On January 9, 2025, the Board of Directors approved the repricing of all outstanding stock options to a revised exercise price of USD $19.50 per option. The repricing applied to all option holders on a consistent basis. Management assessed the impact of the repricing and determined that the revised exercise price did not result in any incremental fair value being conveyed to option holders. Accordingly, no additional share-based payment expense has been recognized in relation to this repricing.

On January 30, 2023, the Company granted 26,923 options to various directors. The options are exercisable at a price of USD $32.50 per common share for a period of five years and vested immediately on grant. The options were valued using Black-Scholes with the following assumptions: expected volatility of 113% based on comparable companies, expected dividend yield of 0%, risk-free interest rate of 3.04%, forfeiture rate of 20% and an expected life of five years. The grant date fair value attributable to these options of $666,746 was recorded as stock-based compensation in connection with the vesting of these options during the year ended June 30, 2023.

The extension constituted a modification in accordance with the guidance of IFRS 2 – Share-Based Payments. As the modification increases the fair value of the options, measured immediately before and after the modification, the Company recorded the incremental fair value, the difference between the fair value of the modified options and that of the original grant. As a result, the Company recorded an additional stock-based compensation of $207,733, which is included in share-based payments reserve.
