If you change your mind about how you want to vote your Common Shares, you can revoke your Instrument of Proxy or voting instruction form by voting again on the internet or by phone or by any other means permitted by law.

Registered Shareholders can revoke their instructions by delivering a signed written notice executed by the registered Shareholder or by his or her attorney authorized in writing or, where the registered Shareholder is a company, by a duly authorized officer or attorney of that company, and delivered to:

 Broadridge Investor Communications Corporation at 2601 14th Avenue, Markham, Ontario L3R 0H9, at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the day of the Meeting;

 the registered office of the Company at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the day of the Meeting; or

Beneficial owners who are unable to vote on the internet or by phone should consult their intermediary if they wish to revoke their instructions.

A proxy may also be revoked in any other manner provided by law. Any revocation of a proxy will not affect a matter on which a vote is taken before such revocation.

Signature on Proxies

The Instrument of Proxy must be executed by the Shareholder or his or her duly appointed attorney authorized in writing or, if the Shareholder is a corporation, by a duly authorized officer whose title must be indicated. An Instrument of Proxy signed by a person acting as attorney or in some other representative capacity should indicate that person's capacity (following his or her signature) and should be accompanied by the appropriate instrument evidencing qualification and authority to act (unless such instrument has been previously filed with the Company).

2024 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR | 3


The Common Shares represented by the enclosed Instrument of Proxy will be voted or withheld from voting on any motion, by ballot or otherwise, in accordance with any indicated instructions. In the absence of such direction, such Common Shares will be voted IN FAVOUR OF PASSING THE RESOLUTIONS DESCRIBED IN THE INSTRUMENT OF PROXY AND BELOW. If any amendment or variation to the matters identified in the Notice is proposed at the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, or if any other matters properly come before the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, the accompanying Instrument of Proxy confers discretionary authority to vote on such amendments or variations or such other matters according to the best judgment of the appointed proxyholder. Unless otherwise stated, the Common Shares represented by a valid Instrument of Proxy will be voted in favour of the election of nominees set forth in this Management Information Circular except where a vacancy among such nominees occurs prior to the Meeting, in which case, such Common Shares may be voted in favour of another nominee in the proxyholder's discretion. As of the date hereof, management of the Company knows of no such amendments or variations or other matters to come before the Meeting.

Advice to Beneficial Shareholders

The information set forth in this section is of importance to many Shareholders, as a substantial number of Shareholders do not hold Common Shares in their own name. Shareholders who hold their Common Shares through their brokers, intermediaries, trustees or other persons, or who otherwise do not hold their Common Shares in their own name (referred to in this Management Information Circular as "Beneficial Shareholders") should note that only proxies deposited by Shareholders who are registered Shareholders (that is, Shareholders whose names appear on the records maintained by the registrar and transfer agent for the Common Shares as registered holders of Common Shares) will be recognized and acted upon at the Meeting. If Common Shares are listed in an account statement provided to a Beneficial Shareholder by a broker, those Common Shares will, in all likelihood, not be registered in the Shareholder's name. Such Common Shares will more likely be registered under the name of the Shareholder's broker or an agent of that broker. In Canada, the vast majority of such shares are registered under the name of CDS & Co. (the registration name for CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc., which acts as nominee for many Canadian brokerage firms). In the United States, the vast majority of such shares are registered under the name of Cede & Co., the registration name for The Depository Trust Company, which acts as nominee for many United States brokerage firms. Common Shares held by brokers (or their agents or nominees) on behalf of a broker's client can only be voted at the direction of the Beneficial Shareholder. Without specific instructions, brokers and their agents and nominees are prohibited from voting shares for the broker's clients. Therefore, each Beneficial Shareholder should ensure that voting instructions are communicated to the appropriate person in advance of the Meeting.

Existing regulatory policy requires brokers and other intermediaries to seek voting instructions from Beneficial Shareholders in advance of Shareholders' meetings. The various brokers and other intermediaries have their own mailing procedures and provide their own return instructions to clients, which should be carefully followed by Beneficial Shareholders in order to ensure that their Common Shares are voted at the Meeting. The voting instruction form supplied to a Beneficial Shareholder by its broker (or the agent of the broker) is substantially similar to the Instrument of Proxy provided directly to registered Shareholders by the Company. However, its purpose is limited to instructing the registered Shareholder (i.e., the broker or agent of the broker) how to vote on behalf of the Beneficial Shareholder. The vast majority of brokers now delegate responsibility for obtaining instructions from clients to Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. ("BFS") in Canada. BFS typically prepares a machine-readable voting instruction form, mails those forms to Beneficial Shareholders and asks Beneficial Shareholders to return the forms to BFS, or otherwise communicate voting instructions to BFS (by way of the Internet or telephone, for example). BFS then tabulates the results of all instructions received and provides appropriate instructions respecting the voting of Common Shares to be represented at the Meeting. Beneficial Shareholder who receives a BFS voting instruction form cannot use that form to vote Common Shares directly at the Meeting. The voting instruction forms must be returned to BFS (or instructions respecting the voting of Common Shares must otherwise be communicated to BFS) well in advance of the Meeting in order to have the Common Shares voted. If you have any questions respecting the voting of Common Shares held through a broker or other intermediary, please contact that broker or other intermediary for assistance.

Although a Beneficial Shareholder may not be recognized directly at the Meeting for the purposes of voting Common Shares registered in the name of their broker, CDS & Co., Cede & Co. or another intermediary, the Beneficial Shareholder may attend the Meeting as proxyholder and vote the Common Shares in that capacity. Beneficial Shareholders who wish to attend the Meeting and indirectly vote their Common Shares as proxyholder, should enter their own names in the blank space on the voting instruction form provided to them and return the same to their broker (or the broker's agent) in accordance with the instructions provided by such broker.

On September 15, 2015, the District Court of Harris County, Texas, 215th Judicial District in Cause No. 2011- 77806 rendered a civil judgement against Optimum Arbor Oaks, LLC ("Optimum"), among other defendants including Tamir Poleg (a director and officer of the Company), relating to the misappropriation of insurance proceeds and the fraudulent transfer of funds to certain third-parties (the "Arbor Oaks Judgement").

Optimum was principally liable under the Arbor Oaks Judgement and was required to pay the amount of US$1,119,466 to the plaintiffs. Tamir Poleg, together with certain other defendants, were held liable to the plaintiffs for the aggregate amount of US$257,929.25. In connection with an Assumption and Release Agreement and related loan documents executed by Optimum dated April 17, 2008, Mr. Poleg, together with another individual defendant (collectively, the "Guarantors"), were required to sign a personal indemnity and guarantee agreement (the "Indemnity and Guarantee") in favour of certain lenders to Optimum that required that the Guarantors would be personally liable for certain debts associated with a multi-residential apartment complex in Texas, United States owned by Optimum (the "Arbor Oaks Apartments") to the extent that Optimum misappropriated any insurance claims in connection with the Arbor Oaks Apartments.

STATEMENT OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRACTICES

Our Board views effective corporate governance as an essential element for the effective and efficient operation of the Company. Our Board closely monitors corporate governance developments and is committed to enhancing our corporate governance practices on a continuing basis. Our Board supervises the management of the business and the affairs of the Company with a view to ensuring that Shareholder value is enhanced and high ethical and legal standards are adhered to. The Board has developed its corporate governance practices to assist it in fulfilling its supervisory role in accordance with the corporate governance guidelines established under NP 58-201. The Board fulfills its mandate directly and through its committees.

The Company listed the Common Shares for trading on the Nasdaq commencing June 15, 2021 after filing a registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 40-F on May 25, 2021. The Company is a foreign private issuer in the United States and, as such, is required to report any significant ways in which its corporate governance practices differ from those required for domestic registrants under the Nasdaq listing standards and SEC rules. A copy of the Company's statement of differences is available on the Company's website at https://investors.onereal.com. The Company believes it is in conformance with the Nasdaq corporate governance requirements applicable to it.

The following is a description of the Company's corporate governance practices, prepared in accordance with Form 58-101F1 - Corporate Governance Disclosure of the Canadian Securities Administrators, as approved by the Board.

Independence

For a director to be considered independent under NI 58-101, he or she must have no direct or indirect material relationship with the Company, and must not be in any relationship deemed to not be independent pursuant to such requirements. A material relationship with the Company is a relationship that could, in the view of the Board, reasonably be expected to interfere with the exercise of a director's independent judgment.

The Board has considered the relationships of each of the nominees for election by the Shareholders to the Company, and has determined that six (6) of the seven (7) directors nominated for election at the Meeting are independent within the meaning of NI 58-101. Larry Klane, Laurence Rose, Guy Gamzu, Atul Malhotra Jr., Vikki Bartholomae and Susanne Greenfield Sandler are independent directors based upon the tests for independence set forth in NI 52-110. Tamir Poleg is not independent as he is a member of management of the Company. As a result, a majority of the nominees are independent within the meaning of NI 58-101.

Tamir Poleg was appointed Chair of the Board effective June 5, 2020, and is not considered independent within the meaning of NI 52-110. However, the Board is comprised of a majority of independent directors. As long as the Chair of the Board is not an independent director, the Board will appoint a Lead Director. Larry Klane is the Board's Lead Director. The Lead Director's key responsibilities are to provide leadership to ensure the Board works in an independent, cohesive fashion and to chair meetings of independent directors without management present.

2024 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR | 13


 

Management Supervision by the Board

The Board has determined that the current constitution of the Board is appropriate for the Company's current stage of development. Independent supervision of management is accomplished through choosing management who demonstrate a high level of integrity and ability and having strong independent Board members.

A person elected as a director who is considered under this test not to have received the support of the shareholders must immediately tender his or her resignation to the Board, which will take effect upon acceptance by the Board. A nominee who tenders a resignation pursuant to the policy will not participate in any meeting of the Board at which the resignation is considered. The Board will promptly accept the resignation unless the Board determines that there are exceptional circumstances (for example, relating to the composition of the Board or the voting results) that should delay the acceptance of the resignation or justify rejecting it. The Board will promptly announce its decision in a press release, including reasons for rejecting the resignation, if applicable. This policy does not apply to a contested meeting of shareholders. A copy of the majority voting policy is posted on the Company's website at https://investors.onereal.com.

Ethical Business Conduct

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

As part of its commitment to conducting its business and affairs with honesty, integrity and in accordance with high ethical and legal standards, the Board has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the "Code") which applies to all of our directors, officers and employees. The Code addresses such matters as conflicts of interests, protection and proper use of corporate assets and opportunities, confidentiality of corporate information, fair dealing, compliance with laws, rules and regulations and reporting of any illegal or unethical behaviour.

The Board is responsible for monitoring and compliance under the Code. Any waiver of the Code with respect to a director or executive officer of the Company may be made only by the Board. The Board did not grant any waiver of the Code in 2023. In the unlikely event of such a waiver, it will be promptly disclosed to the extent required by applicable laws or stock exchange rules and regulations.

A copy of the Code is posted on Company's website at https://investors.onereal.com.

Directors, officers, employees, consultants and contractors are required to perform their duties and arrange their personal business affairs in a manner that does not interfere with their independent exercise of judgement. No director, officer or employee of the Company or consultant or contractor working for the Company is permitted to accept financial compensation of any kind, nor any special discount, loan or favour, from persons, corporations or organizations having dealings or potential dealings with the Company.

Non-executive directors of the Company are not expected to devote their time and effort solely on behalf of the Company, and they may have a variety of other business relationships that could give rise to a conflict of interest. Any such potential conflicts of interest are not subject to the Code and are to be resolved directly with the Board.

This policy sets clear guidelines for directors, officers and employees on disclosure requirements and practices and confirms in writing the Company's disclosure policies to ensure compliance with such laws, rules and regulations as well as to ensure that timely and accurate information is provided equally to all Shareholders and market participants regarding the Company.

The Board has also adopted an amended and restated stock trading policy (the "Stock Trading Policy") to ensure that the Company and all directors, officers, employees, consultants and contractors of the Company and its subsidiaries meet their obligations under applicable securities laws and stock exchange rules by ensuring that all such persons who have material non-public information do not engage in insider trading or tipping.

Copies of the Corporate Disclosure Policy and the Stock Trading Policy are posted on the Company's website at https://investors.onereal.com.

Director Term Limits and Other Mechanisms of Board Renewal

The Company has not adopted term limits for its directors as the Company is of the view that director term limits reduce continuity and experience on the Board and that term limits force valuable, experienced and knowledgeable directors to leave. As such, the Company views term limits as not in the Company's best interests at this time; however, the Company may adopt director term limits in the future. To ensure adequate Board renewal, the Board is responsible for conducting regular Board and committee assessments. These assessments will review the composition and effectiveness of the Board and its committees. The results of these assessments are reported to the Board, together with recommendations, if any, regarding the composition of the Board.

Policies Regarding the Representation of Women

In identifying suitable candidates for nomination to the Board, the Board has not specifically considered the level of representation of women on the Board in identifying and nominating candidates for election or re-election to the Board. However, the Board believes that its membership should reflect a diversity of experience, background, gender, race, ethnicity and age. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is committed to actively seeking out and will instruct any search firm it engages to identify, individuals who will contribute to such diversity, including gender diversity, to be included in the pool of candidates from which nominees to the Board are selected.

The Board has determined that, due to its current stage of development and the fact that the current nomination and appointment procedures have yielded appropriate candidates for nomination to the Board, it is unnecessary at this time to adopt a written policy regarding the identification and nomination of women directors, nor has it adopted a target regarding women on the Board. Currently, there are two women on the Board (currently 29% of the Board is comprised of women).

The Company has not specifically considered the level of representation of women in executive officer positions when making executive officer appointments, nor has it adopted a target regarding women in executive officer positions. Currently, there are four (4) women (57%) serving in executive officer positions at the Company.

STATEMENT OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Introduction

The purpose of this Compensation Discussion and Analysis is to provide information about the Company's philosophy, objectives and processes regarding executive compensation. Under applicable securities legislation, the Company is required to disclose certain financial and other information relating to the compensation of the CEO, the CFO and each of the three most highly compensated executive officers of the Company, including any of its subsidiaries, whose total compensation was more than $150,000 for the financial year of the Company ended December 31, 2023, other than the CEO and CFO as of December 31, 2023 (collectively, the "NEOs") and for the directors of the Company. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the NEOs of the Company were Tamir Poleg, Michelle Ressler, Pritesh Damani, Sharran Srivatsaa and Jenna Rozenblat. The description of the Company's compensation philosophy and objectives and the elements of such compensation for the year ended December 31, 2023 is set forth below.

The Compensation Discussion and Analysis section of this Circular sets out the objectives of the Company's executive compensation arrangements, the Company's executive compensation philosophy and the application of this philosophy to the Company's executive compensation arrangements. The Company has established the Compensation Committee, which has been assigned the responsibility to review the compensation received by directors and NEOs. The Compensation Committee adopted its current charter in July 2023.

Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

When determining the compensation arrangements for the NEOs and directors, the Compensation Committee considers the objectives of: (i) retaining an executive critical to the success of the Company and the enhancement of Shareholder value; (ii) providing fair and competitive compensation; (iii) balancing the interests of management and Shareholders of the Company; and (iv) rewarding performance, both on an individual basis and with respect to the business in general.

Role of Management

Members of senior management assist the Compensation Committee by compiling information to be used in the Compensation Committee's determinations and reporting on historical compensation levels, methods of compensation, compensation practices of industry peers, achieved performance relative to corporate and individual objectives, succession planning and recent compensation trends and regulatory initiatives.

The Compensation Committee relies, in part, on the CEO to review the performance of the other NEOs and to make recommendations to the Compensation Committee in this regard. Given the direct reporting relationship between the CEO and most of the other NEOs, and the close working relationship between the other NEOs, the Compensation Committee believes the CEO is in the best position to directly assess the performance of the other senior executives. While the CEO typically attends Compensation Committee meetings, he is not present during in camera sessions of the Compensation Committee or when the Compensation Committee is considering his performance or compensation.

Elements of Executive Compensation

In determining the compensation level for each executive, the Compensation Committee looks at factors such as the relative complexity of the executive's role within the organization, the executive's performance and potential for future advancement, the compensation paid by other companies in the same industry as the Company, and pay equity considerations.

The Company believes that making a significant portion of the NEOs' and directors' compensation based on long-term incentives supports the Company's executive compensation philosophy, as these forms of compensation allow those most accountable for the Company's long-term success to acquire and hold Common Shares. The key features of the primary components of compensation are discussed below:

2024 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR | 20


Base Salary

Base salary recognizes the value of an individual to the Company based on his or her role, skill, performance, contributions, leadership and potential. It is critical in attracting and retaining executive talent in the markets in which the Company competes for talent. Base salaries for the NEOs are reviewed annually. Any change in the base salary of an NEO is generally determined by an assessment of such executive's performance, a consideration of competitive compensation levels in companies similar to the Company and a review of the performance of the Company as a whole and the role such executive officer played in such corporate performance.

Annual Cash Incentive Award

The Company provides an annual cash incentive award to motivate and reward the achievement of annual performance objectives. The Compensation Committee believes that annual cash incentive compensation encourages executive officers to contribute to the Company's operating performance.

Equity-Based Incentive Award

The Company provides equity-based incentive awards to the NEOs and directors in the form of Options and RSUs as part of its overall executive compensation strategy. The Compensation Committee believes that Option and RSU grants serve the Company's executive compensation philosophy in several ways: they help attract, retain, and motivate talent; they align the interests of the NEOs and directors with those of the Shareholders by linking a specific portion of the officer's total pay opportunity to share price; and they provide long-term accountability for NEOs and directors.

Risks of Compensation Policies and Practices

The Board and the Compensation Committee consider the risks associated with the Company's compensation policies and practices. The discretionary nature of Options and RSU awards under Securities Based Compensation Arrangements are significant elements of the Company's compensation plans and provide the Board and the Compensation Committee with the ability to reward historical performance and behaviour that the Board and the Compensation Committee consider to be aligned with the Company's best interests.

The Board believes that the executive compensation program should not raise its overall risk profile. Accordingly, the Company's executive compensation program includes safeguards designed to mitigate compensation risks. The following measures impose appropriate limits to avoid excessive or inappropriate risk taking or payments:

(a) vesting requirements for Options and RSUs discourage excessive risk taking to achieve short-term goals;

(b) recommendation of discretionary bonus payments to the Board by the Compensation Committee who are specifically tasked with determining allocation; and

(c) implementation of trading blackouts prescribed by the Company's Stock Trading Policy to limit the ability of officers of the Company to trade in securities of the Company.

Inappropriate and excessive risks by executives are also mitigated by review of the Board, at which, activity by the executives must be approved by the Board if such activity is outside previously Board-approved actions or as set out in a Board-approved budget. Given the current composition of the Company's executive management team, the Board and the Compensation Committee are able to closely monitor and consider any risks which may be associated with the Company's compensation practices. Risks may also be identified and mitigated through regular Board meetings during which financial and other information of the Company is reviewed, including executive compensation.

2024 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR | 21


Purchase of Financial Instruments

The Stock Trading Policy prohibits an NEO or director from engaging in hedging or monetization transactions, such as zero-cost collars and forward sale contracts, that are designed to hedge or offset a decrease in market value of equity securities granted as compensation or held, directly or indirectly, by the NEO or director.

Notes:

(1) Assumes $100 invested as of June 20, 2020. The Common Share prices of the Company for June 20, 2020, December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2021 are the Common Share prices on the TSXV. The Common Share price of the Company for December 31, 2022 is the Common Share prices on the TSX. The Common Share price of the Company for December 31, 2023 is the Common Share price on the NASDAQ of US$1.60 converted into Canadian Dollars at the USD/CAD exchange rate of 1.3226. On July 26, 2022, the Company graduated to the TSX and its Common Shares were concurrently delisted from the TSXV. On July 28, 2023, the Company announced that its application for a voluntary delisting of its Common Shares from the TSX had been approved by the Board. The Common Shares were delisted from the TSX effective as of close of markets on August 11, 2023. The Common Shares continue to be listed and traded on the NASDAQ.

In 2020 and 2021, the Company's performance dramatically improved, in part, as a result of significant gains in the North America real estate market and technology sector. Renewed optimism of post-pandemic recovery in the main global economies, better than expected real estate demand, and COVID-19 related stimuluses set historically high residential real estate prices. However, in 2022, the Company's share performance experienced a decline, primarily due to a general slowdown in the real estate industry and rising interest rates.

Despite ongoing challenges in the home sales market in 2023, the Company's shares significantly outperformed both the broader market and our peers in the real estate brokerage sector. This performance was primarily driven by our substantial organic growth, which resulted in a record number of transactions closed, as well as record revenue, gross profit, and cash flows from operations.

The real estate industry has faced volatility, especially concerning interest rates, which have notably impacted the sector. However, a pivotal moment in 2023 was the Federal Reserve's signal of an end to its interest rate-hiking cycle. This policy shift has improved investor sentiment, reigniting interest in the real estate services sector.

2024 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR | 22


While market conditions and associated long term market uncertainties have an impact on officer compensation decisions, the Compensation Committee also considers the performance of the officers and their success in achieving key milestones.

Compensation Governance

The Compensation Committee is responsible for reviewing the Company's overall compensation philosophy and reviewing and making recommendations to the Board with respect to all executive officer and director compensation matters and all incentive compensation and equity-based plans. The Board, as a whole, ultimately determines compensation for the directors, its CEO, CFO and other officers (including other NEOs) on the advice of the Compensation Committee.

Compensation Consultant

In performing its duties, the Compensation Committee has the authority to engage and compensate any outside advisor, including executive compensation consultants that it determines to be necessary or advisable to carry out its responsibilities. During 2023, the Compensation Committee engaged Pearl Meyer, an independent compensation consulting firm, to assist with executive compensation matters as well as director compensation matters. Prior to the Compensation Committee's engagement of Pearl Meyer, the Compensation Committee determined no conflicts of interest exist and that Pearl Meyer is independent from management.

2023 Executive Compensation

During 2023, Pearl Meyer provided an analysis to the Compensation Committee of the cash bonus amount that would achieve for each NEO an aggregate 25th percentile market positioning on target total cash, which consists of base salary and cash bonus. The 25th percentile market positioning was determined based on the Company's peer group and other comparable market data. In December 2023, the Compensation Committee approved cash bonuses for 2023 that would achieve for each NEO an aggregate 25th percentile market positioning on target total cash.

2024 Executive Compensation

During 2023, Pearl Meyer provided the Compensation Committee an analysis of executive compensation to assist the Compensation Committee in making decisions for 2024 executive Compensation. Pearl Meyer provided a competitive analysis based on a review of the Company's peer group and other comparable market data. In general, Pearl Meyer determined that the Company's executives were compensated below the 25th percentile as compared to the Company's peer group. Pearl Meyer provided recommendations designed to achieve a desired aggregate market positioning over time approximating the median within three years, while providing for a significant portion of compensation in a performance-based bonus and equity. The Compensation Committee approved an updated executive compensation program for the NEO's for 2024 consisting of base salary and target cash bonuses, which is expected to increase each NEO's cash compensation from salary and cash bonus in 2024 by between 14% and 19% as compared to 2023. In addition, the Company has granted RSU awards to the NEOs in 2024 having an aggregate of value of US$6,857,455 at the time of the grants.

Notes:

(1) Except in the case of Tamir Poleg (see note 3), all compensation paid to all NEOs listed has been paid under executive agreements between the Company (or its operating subsidiary) and each such NEO as more particularly described under the heading "Statement of Executive Compensation - Employment Contracts and Termination and Change of Control Benefits" of this Circular.

(2) The grant date fair value is a theoretical value determined using the Black Scholes pricing model for Options granted during the year. Under Black Scholes, the Options on the date of grant have no intrinsic value as the exercise price is the closing price of the Common Shares on the preceding date. Each NEO does not receive any value until each of the following occur: (i) the Options vest and (ii) and they are exercised. Generally, the Options will only be exercised where the exercise price is less than the trading price.

(3) Tamir Poleg was compensated by the Company through an executive agreement. For 2023, he received NIS332,926 (equal to US$93,219 at the NIS/USD exchange rate of 0.28) paid to him directly from a Company subsidiary. Mr. Poleg also provides his services as CEO of the Company in 2023 through a private company that he owns, and the Company paid this entity US$220,500 for his compensation. In addition, he received US$491,000 for a cash bonus in 2023 that was paid to his private company that he owns. For 2022, he received NIS332,646 (equal to US$93,141 at the NIS/USD exchange rate of 0.28) paid to him directly from a Company subsidiary. Mr. Poleg also provided his services as CEO of the Company in 2022 through a private company that he owns, and the Company paid this entity US$220,500 for his compensation. In addition, he received US$285,000 for a cash bonus in 2022 that was paid to his private company that he owns.

Stock Option Plan, Restricted Share Unit Plan, Omnibus Incentive Plan and Amended and Restated Omnibus Incentive Plan

The Stock Option Plan, RSU Plan and Omnibus Incentive Plan comprised the Company's security-based incentive compensation plans prior to the adoption of the Amended and Restated Omnibus Incentive Plan. No more securities will be granted under the Stock Option Plan, RSU Plan or Omnibus Incentive Plan; however, these security-based incentive compensation plans continue to govern the previously issued securities under such plans.

Amended and Restated Omnibus Incentive Plan

The Amended and Restated Omnibus Incentive Plan was approved by the Board on July 22, 2022 and by the Shareholders at the Company's annual general meeting held on June 9, 2023, which authorized and approved the unallocated awards thereunder for a period of three years. A summary of the material terms of the Amended and Restated Omnibus Incentive Plan is set forth below. The summary information is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Amended and Restated Omnibus Incentive Plan, a copy of which is attached as Schedule "A" to the management information circular of the Company dated April 26, 2023. Defined terms used in this section "Amended and Restated Omnibus Incentive Plan" have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Amended and Restated Omnibus Incentive Plan, unless otherwise defined herein.

2024 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR | 25


(A) Eligibility, Purpose and Administration

Employees, officers, directors and consultants of the Company will be eligible to participate in the Amended and Restated Omnibus Incentive Plan. The purpose of the Amended and Restated Omnibus Incentive Plan is to attract, secure, retain, incentivize and reward the services of Participants who are expected to contribute significantly to the success of the Company and its Shareholders and, in general, to further the best interests of the Company, the Participants and its Shareholders.

The Board or a committee authorized by the Board will be responsible for administering the Amended and Restated Omnibus Incentive Plan. The Board will have full and exclusive discretionary power to interpret the terms and the intent of the Amended and Restated Omnibus Incentive Plan and any Option Agreement or RSU Agreement in connection with the Amended and Restated Omnibus Incentive Plan, to determine eligibility for Awards, and to adopt such rules, regulations and guidelines for administering the Amended and Restated Omnibus Incentive Plan as the Board may deem necessary.

(B) Common Shares Issuable Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Omnibus Incentive Plan

The number of Common Shares reserved for issuance to Participants under the Amended and Restated Omnibus Incentive Plan and all other Securities Based Compensation Plans will not in the aggregate at any time exceed (i) 15% of the aggregate number of issued and outstanding Common Shares on the Award Date for Options and (ii) 70,000,000 Common Shares for RSUs (the "Share Reserve"), representing a total of 38% Common Shares as of the date of this Circular (as of the date of this Circular, there were 187,235,723 Common Shares outstanding). The Amended and Restated Omnibus Incentive Plan is considered an "evergreen" plan, since the Common Shares covered by Awards which have been exercised shall be available for subsequent grants under the Amended and Restated Omnibus Incentive Plan and the number of Awards available to grant increases as the number of issued and outstanding Common Shares increases from time to time. For greater certainty, if any Award is terminated, cancelled, forfeited or has expired without being fully exercised, any unissued Common Shares which have been reserved to be issued upon the exercise or conversion of the Award will be returned to the Share Reserve and become available to be issued under Awards subsequently granted under the Amended and Restated Omnibus Incentive Plan.

The number of securities issuable to Insiders, at any time, under all Securities Based Compensation Arrangements cannot exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares from time to time determined on a non-diluted basis (being 18,723,572 Common Shares as of the date hereof). Within any twelve (12) month period: (a) the number of Common Shares and Awards issued to Insiders pursuant to Amended and Restated Omnibus Incentive Plan and all other Securities Based Compensation Arrangements shall not exceed 10% of the aggregate outstanding Common Shares from time to time determined on a non-diluted basis (being 18,723,572 Common Shares as of the date hereof); and (b) the number Common Shares and Awards that may be issued to any one Insider under Amended and Restated Omnibus Incentive Plan and any other Securities Based Compensation Arrangements shall not exceed 5% of the number of Common Shares issued and outstanding (being 9,361,786 Common Shares as of the date hereof).

The number of securities issuable to any one person, within any one-year period, under the Amended and Restated Omnibus Incentive Plan, or when combined with all other Securities Based Compensation Arrangements, cannot exceed 5% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares from time to time determined on a non-diluted basis (being 9,361,786 Common Shares as of the date hereof).

The Common Shares underlying these outstanding Options and RSUs represent, collectively, 50,894,517 Common Shares or approximately 27% of the Common Shares issued and outstanding as of the date of this Circular, and the Common Shares underlying the Options held by Insiders represent 15,582,123 Common Shares or approximately 10% of the Common Shares issued and outstanding as of the date of this Circular.

Accordingly, based on the issued and outstanding share structure of the Company as of the date of this Circular, but subject to the annual limits described above, the Company has availability under the Amended and Restated Omnibus Incentive Plan to issue Awards representing an additional 43,192,750 Common Shares to Participants, representing approximately 23% of the current issued and outstanding Common Shares.

2024 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR | 26


(C) Common Shares Issuable Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Omnibus Incentive Plan

Options

An Option that is granted by the Company to a Participant pursuant to the Amended and Restated Omnibus Incentive Plan shall, upon exercise, entitle the holder thereof to acquire a designated number of Common Shares from treasury at a stated Exercise Price for a specified period of time subject to the terms and conditions of the Amended and Restated Omnibus Incentive Plan and the applicable Option Agreement, provided that such Option has not expired or terminated prior to being exercised.

The Board may grant Options to any Participant at any time, in such number and on such terms as will be determined by the Board. The Exercise Price for any Option granted pursuant to the Amended and Restated Omnibus Incentive Plan will be determined by the Board and specified in the Option Agreement. The Option Price for Common Shares that are the subject of any Option shall be determined and approved by the Board when such Option is granted, but shall not be less than the lesser of (i) the VWAP on the Award Date and (ii) the closing market price on a Stock Exchange on the day immediately prior to the Award Date.

Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Amended and Restated Omnibus Incentive Plan or in any Option Agreement, Options may be exercised by the Participant in whole at any time, or in part from time to time (in each case to the nearest full Common Share), during the applicable Option Term only in accordance with the vesting schedule, if any, determined by the Board, which vesting schedule may include Performance Criteria. Options may not be exercised until they have vested. Options will expire at such time as the Board determines at the time of grant. However, no Option will be exercisable later than the tenth anniversary of the date of its grant.

Participants may elect to undertake a "Net Exercise Right" pursuant to which the Participant may surrender such Option in whole or in part by notice in writing to the Company and in lieu of receiving Common Shares pursuant to the exercise of the Option, receive, that number of Common Shares, disregarding fractions, which is equal to the quotient obtained by: (i) subtracting the applicable Option Price from the VWAP on the business day immediately prior to the exercise of the Net Exercise Right and multiplying the remainder by the number of Option Shares; and (ii) dividing the net amount obtained under subsection (i) by the VWAP on the business day immediately prior to the exercise of the Net Exercise Right provided that the Participant pays to the Company an amount equal to the Tax Obligations applicable to the Option Shares or otherwise makes arrangements satisfactory to the Company.

Restricted Share Units

Each RSU Award granted to a Participant will entitle the Participant to receive, at the Company's option: (i) payment in cash; (ii) payment in Common Shares acquired by a trustee, on behalf of the Company, on a Stock Exchange; or (iii) payment in Common Shares issued from treasury; or (iv) or a combination of (i) to (iii).

The Board will: (i) designate the Participants who may receive RSUs under the Amended and Restated Omnibus Incentive Plan; and (ii) determine the relevant terms, conditions and vesting provisions, subject to the terms of the Amended and Restated Omnibus Incentive Plan and in the applicable RSU Agreement.

Subject to the provisions of the Amended and Restated Omnibus Incentive Plan or in any RSU Agreement, the holder of RSU Award shall be entitled to receive payout on the value and number of RSUs, determined by the Board as a function of the extent to which the corresponding vesting criteria, including Performance Criteria, if any, have been achieved. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, all RSUs in respect of which the vesting criteria have not been achieved, shall automatically be forfeited and be cancelled on the applicable determination dates as set forth in the applicable RSU Agreement.

Any cash payable and/or Common Shares issuable to a Participant in respect of vested RSUs shall be paid to the Participant as soon as practicable following the Vesting Date and in any event within thirty (30) days of the Vesting Date and prior to the Outside Payment Date.

2024 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR | 27


Following the declaration and payment of dividends on the Common Shares, the Board may, in its absolute discretion, determine to make a cash payment to a Participant in respect of outstanding RSUs credited to the Participant's Account, as a bonus for services rendered during the year such dividend was declared. Payment of any such Dividend Equivalent will be made forthwith following any such determination by the Board and in any event within thirty (30) days of such determination.

(D) Assignability

Except by the laws of succession of the domicile of a deceased Participant, Awards granted pursuant to the Amended and Restated Omnibus Incentive Plan will be non-transferable and non-assignable.

(E) Cessation of Awards

Except as otherwise determined by the Board from time to time, at its sole discretion, and except as prohibited by applicable legislation, upon a Participant ceasing to be an Eligible Participant as a result of his or her employment or service relationship with the Company (i) being terminated by reason of injury or disability or (ii) becoming eligible to receive long-term disability benefits; all unvested RSUs in the Participant's Account as of such date shall remain outstanding and in effect pursuant to the terms of the applicable RSU Agreement, and (a) if the Board determines that the vesting conditions are not met for such RSUs, then all unvested RSUs credited to such Participant's Account shall be forfeited and cancelled and the Participant's rights that relate to such unvested RSUs shall be forfeited and cancelled; and (b) if the Board determines that the vesting conditions are met for such RSUs, the Participant shall be entitled to receive payment of such number of RSUs outstanding in the Participant's Account.

Such vested Option shall only be exercisable within twelve (12) months after the Participant's death or prior to the expiration of the original term of the Options whichever occurs earlier, and each unvested Option shall be forfeited.

Except as otherwise determined by the Board from time to time, at its sole discretion, and except as prohibited by applicable legislation, upon a Participant ceasing to be Eligible Participant as a result of death, all unvested RSUs in the Participant's Account as of such date shall remain outstanding and in effect pursuant to the terms of the applicable RSU Agreement, and (a) if the Board determines that the vesting conditions are not met for such RSUs, then all unvested RSUs credited to such Participant's Account shall be forfeited and cancelled and the Participant's rights that relate to such unvested RSUs shall be forfeited and cancelled; and (b) if the Board determines that the vesting conditions are met for such RSUs, the Participant shall be entitled to receive payment of such number of RSUs outstanding in the Participant's Account (as of the date of the Participant's death) and the Company shall (i) pay such amount to the Participant or the liquidator, executor or administrator, as the case may be, of the estate of the Participant, as soon as practicable thereafter, but no later than the end of the Outside Payment Date, and (ii) debit the corresponding number of RSUs from the Account of such deceased Participant and all the Participant's rights that relate to such Participant's RSUs shall be forfeited and cancelled.

Each committee will have a written charter. At a minimum, each charter will clearly establish the committee's purpose, responsibilities, member qualifications, member appointment and removal, structure and operations (including any authority to delegate to individual members and subcommittees), and manner of reporting to the Board. Each charter will be reviewed by the Board on at least an annual basis.

The Board will consist of directors who represent a diversity of personal experience and background, particularly among the independent directors. At a minimum, each director will have demonstrated personal and professional integrity, achievement in his or her field, experience and expertise relevant to the Company's business, a reputation for sound and mature business judgment, the commitment to devote the necessary time and effort in order to conduct such directors duties effectively and, if required, financial literacy.

The Board will appoint an independent director to act as Chair of the Board.

Lead Director will act as the effective leader of the Board and ensure that the Board's agenda will enable it to successfully carry out its duties. The Chair of the Board and the Lead Director, as applicable, may be removed at any time at the discretion of the Board.

The designation of the Chair of the Board and the Lead Director, if applicable, will take place annually.
