INFORMATION CIRCULAR

SOLICITATION OF PROXIES BY MANAGEMENT

This management information circular (the “Circular”) is furnished in connection with the solicitation

of proxies by or on behalf of the management of Chatham Rock Phosphate Limited (the “Company”)

for use at the Annual General and Special Meeting (the “Meeting”) of the shareholders of the Company

(the “Shareholders”) to be held at Level 1, 93 The Terrace, Wellington, New Zealand on Thursday,

November 13, 2025 at 5:00 p.m. (Wellington time) and at any adjournments thereof for the purposes set

out in the accompanying Notice of Meeting. Although it is expected that the solicitation of proxies will be

primarily by mail, proxies may also be solicited personally, electronically or by telephone by directors, officers,

employees or consultants of the Company. Arrangements will also be made with clearing agencies, brokerage

houses and other financial intermediaries to forward proxy solicitation material to the beneficial owners of

common shares of the Company (the “Shares”) pursuant to the requirements of National Instrument 54-101,

Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer (“National Instrument 54-101”).

The Canadian securities regulators have adopted new rules under National Instrument 54-101, which permit

the use of notice-and-access for proxy solicitation, instead of the traditional physical delivery of material.

This new process provides the option to post meeting related materials, including management information

circulars, as well as annual financial statements, and related management’s discussion and analysis, on a

website in addition to SEDAR+. Under notice-and-access, such meeting related materials will be available

for viewing for up to one (1) year from the date of posting, and a paper copy of the material can be requested

at any time during this period. The Company is not relying on the notice-and-access provisions of National

Instrument 54-101 to send proxy related materials to registered shareholders or beneficial owners of shares in

connection with the Meeting.

The Company may reimburse shareholders’ nominees or intermediaries (including brokers or their agents

holding shares on behalf of clients) for the cost incurred in obtaining from their principals authorization to

execute forms of proxy. The cost of any such solicitation will be borne by the Company. Unless otherwise

stated, the information contained in this Circular is given as at October 7, 2025.

APPOINTMENT OF PROXYHOLDERS

AND COMPLETION AND REVOCATION OF PROXIES

The purpose of a proxy is to designate persons who will vote the proxy on a Shareholder’s behalf in

accordance with the instructions given by the Shareholder in the proxy. The persons named in the enclosed

proxy (the “Management Designees”) have been selected by the directors of the Company.

A Shareholder has the right to designate a person (who need not be a Shareholder), other than the

Management Designees to represent the Shareholder at the Meeting. Such right may be exercised by

inserting in the space provided for that purpose on the proxy the name of the person to be designated,

and by deleting from the proxy the names of the Management Designees, or by completing another

- 2 -


proper form of proxy and delivering the same to the transfer agent of the Company. Such Shareholder

should notify the nominee of the appointment, obtain the nominee’s consent to act as proxyholder and

attend the Meeting, and provide instructions on how the Shareholder’s shares are to be voted. The nominee

should bring personal identification with them to the Meeting.

To be valid, the proxy must be dated and executed by the Shareholder or an attorney authorized in writing,

with proof of such authorization attached (where an attorney executed the proxy). The proxy must then be

delivered to the Company’s registrar and transfer agent, TSX Trust Company, Proxy Department, P.O. Box

721, Agincourt, Ontario, Canada M1S 0A1, or by fax to 416-595-9593 or scan and e-mail to

proxyvote@tmx.com or if on the New Zealand register to MUFG Corporate Markets, Level 30, PwC

Tower, 15 Customs Street West, Auckland 1010, New Zealand or scan and email to

meetings.nz@cm.mpms.mufg.com, phone: 09 375 5998; in either case at least 48 hours, excluding

Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, before the time of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof. Proxies

received after that time may be accepted by the Chairman of the Meeting in the Chairman’s discretion, but

the Chairman is under no obligation to accept late proxies.

Any registered Shareholder who has returned a proxy may revoke it at any time before it has been exercised.

A proxy may be revoked by a registered Shareholder personally attending at the Meeting and voting their

shares. A Shareholder may also revoke their proxy in respect of any matter upon which a vote has not

already been cast by depositing an instrument in writing, including a proxy bearing a later date executed by

the registered Shareholder or by their authorized attorney in writing, or, if the Shareholder is a corporation,

under its corporate seal by an officer or attorney thereof duly authorized, either at the offices of the

Company’s registrar and transfer agents at the foregoing addresses, or the head office of the Company, at

Level 1, 93 The Terrace, Wellington 6011, New Zealand, at any time up to and including the last business

day preceding the date of the Meeting, or any adjournment thereof at which the proxy is to be used, or by

depositing the instrument in writing with the Chairman of such Meeting, or any adjournment thereof. Only

registered Shareholders have the right to revoke a proxy. Non-registered Shareholders who wish to

change their vote must, at least seven days before the Meeting, arrange for their respective nominees

to revoke the proxy on their behalf.

VOTING OF PROXIES

Voting at the Meeting will be by a show of hands, each registered Shareholder and each proxyholder

(representing a registered or unregistered Shareholder) having one vote, unless a poll is required or

requested, whereupon each such Shareholder and proxyholder is entitled to one vote for each Share held or

represented, respectively. Each Shareholder may instruct their proxyholder how to vote their Shares by

completing the blanks on the proxy. All Shares represented at the Meeting by properly executed proxies

will be voted or withheld from voting when a poll is required or requested and, where a choice with respect

to any matter to be acted upon has been specified in the form of proxy, the Shares represented by the proxy

will be voted in accordance with such specification. In the absence of any such specification as to voting

on the proxy, the Management Designees, if named as proxyholder, will vote in favour of the matters

set out therein.

The enclosed proxy confers discretionary authority upon the Management Designees, or other person

named as proxyholder, with respect to amendments to or variations of matters identified in the Notice

of Meeting and any other matters which may properly come before the Meeting. As of the date

hereof, the Company is not aware of any amendments to, variations of or other matters which may

come before the Meeting. If other matters properly come before the Meeting, then the Management

Designees intend to vote in a manner which in their judgment is in the best interests of the Company.

- 3 -


In order to approve a motion proposed at the Meeting, a majority of greater than 50% of the votes cast will

be required (an “ordinary resolution”), unless the motion requires a “special resolution” in which case a

majority of 66 2/3% of the votes cast will be required.

BENEFICIAL HOLDERS

Only registered shareholders or duly appointed proxyholders are permitted to vote at the Meeting. Many

shareholders of the Company are “non-registered” or “beneficial” shareholders because the shares they own

are not registered in their names, but are instead registered in the name of the brokerage firm, bank or trust

company through which they purchased the shares. More particularly, a person is not a registered shareholder

in respect of shares which are held on behalf of that person (the “Beneficial Holder”) but which are registered

either: (a) in the name of an intermediary (an “Intermediary”) that the Beneficial Holder deals with in respect

of the shares (Intermediaries include, among others, banks, trust companies, securities dealers or brokers and

trustees or administrators of self-administered RRSP’s, RRIF’s, RESP’s and similar plans); or (b) in the name

of a clearing agency (such as The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited (“CDS”)) of which the

Intermediary is a participant. In accordance with the requirements of National Instrument 54-101 of the

Canadian Securities Administrators, the Company has distributed copies of the Notice of Meeting, this Circular

and the Proxy (collectively, the “Meeting Materials”) directly, and to the clearing agencies and Intermediaries

for onward distribution to Beneficial Holders. These securityholder materials are being set to both registered

and non-registered owners of the securities. If you are a non-registered owner, and the issuer or its agent has

sent these materials directly to you, your name and address and information about your holdings of securities,

have been obtained in accordance with applicable securities regulatory requirements from the Intermediary

holding on your behalf.

Intermediaries are required to forward the Meeting Materials to Beneficial Holders unless a Beneficial Holder

has waived the right to receive them. Very often, Intermediaries will use service companies to forward the

Meeting Materials to Beneficial Holders. Generally, Beneficial Holders who have not waived the right to

receive Meeting Materials will either:

(a) be given a form of proxy which has already been signed by the Intermediary (typically by a

facsimile, stamped signature), which is restricted as to the number of shares beneficially owned by the

Beneficial Holder but which is otherwise not completed. Because the Intermediary has already signed

the form of proxy, this form of proxy is not required to be signed by the Beneficial Holder when

submitting the proxy. In this case, the Beneficial Holder who wishes to submit a proxy should

otherwise properly complete the form of proxy and deposit it with the Company’s transfer agent as

provided above; or

(b) more typically, be given a voting instruction form which is not signed by the Intermediary, and

which, when properly completed and signed by the Beneficial Holder and returned to the

Intermediary or its service company, will constitute voting instructions (often called a “proxy

authorization form”) which the Intermediary must follow. Typically, the proxy authorization form

will consist of a one page pre-printed form. Sometimes, instead of the one page pre-printed form, the

proxy authorization form will consist of a regular printed proxy form accompanied by a page of

instructions which contains a removable label containing a bar-code and other information. In order

for the form of proxy to validly constitute a proxy authorization form, the Beneficial Holder must

remove the label from the instructions and affix it to the form of proxy, properly complete and sign the

form of proxy and return it to the Intermediary or its service company in accordance with the

instructions of the Intermediary or its service company.

- 4 -


In either case, the purpose of this procedure is to permit Beneficial Holders to direct the voting of the shares

which they beneficially own. Should a Beneficial Holder who receives one of the above forms wish to vote at

the Meeting in person, the Beneficial Holder should strike out the names of the Management Designees named

in the form and insert the Beneficial Holder’s name in the blank space provided. In either case, Beneficial

Holders should carefully follow the instructions of their Intermediary, including those regarding when

and where the proxy or proxy authorization form is to be delivered.

VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS THEREOF

The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of Shares, without nominal or par value, of which as

at the date hereof 112,247,770 Shares are issued and outstanding.

The holders of Shares of record at the close of business on the record date, set by the directors of the Company

to be October 7, 2025, are entitled to vote such Shares at the Meeting on the basis of one vote for each Share

held.

The Articles of the Company provide that a quorum for the transaction of business at the Meeting is two (2)

Shareholders, or one or more proxyholders representing two Shareholders, or one Shareholder and a

proxyholder representing another Shareholder.

To the knowledge of the directors and senior officers of the Company, no person or company beneficially owns,

directly or indirectly, or exercises control or direction over, voting securities carrying more than 10% of the

outstanding voting rights of the Company other than:

Name of Shareholder Number of Shares Percentage of Issued and Outstanding

PARTICULARS OF MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON

TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE COMPANY’S DIRECTORS, THE ONLY MATTERS TO BE

PLACED BEFORE THE MEETING ARE THOSE REFERRED TO IN THE NOTICE OF MEETING

ACCOMPANYING THIS CIRCULAR. HOWEVER, SHOULD ANY OTHER MATTERS PROPERLY

COME BEFORE THE MEETING, THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THE PROXY SOLICITED

HEREBY WILL BE VOTED ON SUCH MATTERS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE BEST JUDGMENT

OF THE PERSONS VOTING THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THE PROXY.

Additional detail regarding each of the matters to be acted upon at the Meeting is set forth below.

1. Financial Statements

The audited financial statements of the company for the financial year ended March 31, 2025 (the “Financial

Statements”), together with the Auditors’ Report thereon, will be presented to the shareholders at the Meeting.

Shareholders should note that in accordance with the rules of National Instrument 51-102 “Continuous

Disclosure Obligations”, shareholders will no longer automatically receive copies of financial statements

unless a return card (in the form enclosed herewith) has been completed and returned as instructed. Copies

of all previously issued annual and quarterly financial statements and related Management Discussions and

Analysis are available to the public on the SEDAR+ website at www.sedarplus.ca and on the Company’s

- 5 -


website at www.rockphosphate.co.nz. Hard copies of the Audited Annual Financial Statements and

Management Discussion and Analysis will be available to shareholders free of charge upon request.

2. Appointment of Auditors

Management proposes the appointment of Grant Thornton LLP, Chartered Accountants, of Wellington,

New Zealand, as Auditors of the Company for the ensuing year and that the directors be authorized to fix

their remuneration. Grant Thornton LLP have been the Company’s Auditors since May 2020.

In the absence of instructions to the contrary the shares represented by proxy will be voted in favour of

a resolution to appoint Grant Thornton LLP, Chartered Accountants, as Auditors of the Company for

the ensuing year, at a remuneration to be fixed by the Board of Directors, unless the Shareholder has

specified in the Shareholder’s proxy that the Shareholder’s Shares are to be withheld from voting on

the appointment of auditors.

3. Election of Directors

The board of directors of the Company (the “Board” or the “Board of Directors”) currently consists of seven

(7) directors, all of whom are elected annually. The term of office for each of the present directors of the

Company expires at the Meeting. All seven (7) of the current directors of the Company will be standing for

re-election. Accordingly, it is proposed that the number of directors for the ensuing year be fixed at seven (7)

subject to such increases as may be permitted by the Articles of the Company. At the Meeting, the Shareholders

will be asked to consider and, if thought fit, approve an ordinary resolution fixing the number of directors to be

elected at the Meeting at seven (7).

It is proposed that the persons named below will be nominated at the Meeting. Each director elected will hold

office until the next Annual General Meeting of the Company or until his successor is duly elected or appointed

pursuant to the Articles of the Company unless his office is earlier vacated in accordance with the provisions

of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) or the Company’s Articles.

It is the intention of the management designees, if named as proxy, to vote for the election of the said

persons to the Board of Directors, unless the Shareholder has specified in its proxy that its Shares are to

be withheld from voting on the election of directors. Management does not contemplate that any of the

nominees will be unable to serve as a director.

The following information relating to the nominees for election to the Board of Directors is based on

information received by the Company from said nominees:

Corporate Cease Trade Orders or Bankruptcies

No director or proposed director of the Company is, or within the ten years prior to the date of this Circular

has been, a director or executive officer of any company, including the Company, that while that person

was acting in that capacity:

(a) was the subject of a cease trade order or similar order or an order that denied the company

access to any exemption under securities legislation for a period of more than 30

consecutive days; or

(b) was subject to an event that resulted, after the director ceased to be a director or executive

officer of the company being the subject of a cease trade order or similar order or an order

that denied the relevant company access to any exemption under securities legislation, for

a period of more than 30 consecutive days; or

(c) within a year of that person ceasing to act in that capacity, became bankrupt, made a

proposal under any legislation relating to bankruptcy or insolvency or was subject to or

instituted any proceedings, arrangement or compromise with creditors or had a receiver,

receiver manager or trustee appointed to hold its assets.

Individual Bankruptcies

To the knowledge of the Company, no director or proposed director of the Company has, within the ten

years prior to the date of this Circular, become bankrupt or made a proposal under any legislation relating

to bankruptcy or insolvency, or been subject to or instituted any proceedings, arrangement or compromise

with creditors, or had a receiver, receiver manager or trustee appointed to hold the assets of that individual.

Penalties or Sanctions

To the knowledge of the Company, no proposed director of the Company has been subject to any penalties

or sanctions imposed by a court relating to securities legislation or by a securities regulatory authority or

has entered into a settlement agreement with a securities regulatory authority, or has been subject to any

other penalties or sanctions imposed by a court or regulatory body that would likely be considered important

to a reasonable securityholder in deciding whether to vote for a proposed director.

4. Stock Option Plan

The Company currently maintains a rolling stock option plan and wishes to renew it with a new stock option

plan (the “Stock Option Plan”) which has been updated and modified for compliance with the current

policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”). The new Stock Option Plan will authorize the

issuance of incentive stock options to eligible persons for up to an aggregate of 10% of the issued shares of

the Company at any time. The policies of the Exchange require the approval of the new Stock Option Plan

by the Company’s “disinterested shareholders” (as defined below), when implemented. Ordinary

shareholder approval will be required for any annual renewals of the Stock Option Plan. There are currently

112,247,770 shares of the Company issued and outstanding, and therefore the current 10% threshold is

11,224,777 shares available for incentive stock option grants under the Stock Option Plan. Incentive stock

options under the Stock Option Plan may be granted by the Board of Directors to eligible persons, who are

directors, officers or consultants of the Company or its subsidiaries (if any), or who are employees of a

company providing management services to the Company, or who are eligible charitable organizations.

Stock options may be granted under the Stock Option Plan with a maximum exercise period of up to ten

(10) years, as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company.

- 8 -


The new Stock Option Plan will limit the number of stock options which may be granted to any one

individual to not more than 5% of the total issued shares of the Company in any 12-month period (unless

otherwise approved by the disinterested shareholders of the Company), and not more than 10% of the total

issued shares to all insiders at any time or granted over any 12-month period. The number of options

granted to any one consultant or person employed to provide investor relations activities in any 12-month

period must not exceed 2% of the total issued shares of the Company. Any stock options granted under the

Stock Option Plan will not be subject to any vesting schedule unless otherwise determined by the Board of

Directors or required by the policies of the Exchange with the exception of grants to Investor Relations

Service Providers (as defined under the policies of the Exchange), which must vest in stages over a period

of not less than 12 months, and which vesting schedule may not be accelerated, all in accordance with the

terms of the new Stock Option Plan. Lastly, the definition of “Insider” under the new Stock Option Plan

has been amended to match that contained in the policies of the Exchange.

Options under the Stock Option Plan may be granted at an exercise price which is at or above the current

discounted market price (as defined under the policies of the Exchange) on the date of the grant. In the

event of the death or permanent disability of an optionee, any option granted to such optionee will be

exercisable upon the earlier of 365 days from the date of death or permanent disability, or the expiry date

of the option. In the event of the resignation, or the termination or removal of an optionee without just

cause, any option granted to such optionee will be exercisable for a period of 90 days thereafter. In the

event of termination for cause, any option granted to such optionee will be cancelled as at the date of

termination.

In the event the expiry date of an option falls on a date during any “black-out trading” period, where insiders

are prohibited from trading due to any unannounced material information, that has been self-imposed by

the Company, the expiry date of the option will be extended to the 10

th

business day following the date that

the self-imposed trading black out period is lifted by the Company.

Shareholders are referred to the full text of the Stock Option Plan, a copy of which has been posted on

SEDAR+ and is available for inspection under the Company’s profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca,

for complete details.

The Stock Option Plan must be approved by a majority of the “disinterested shareholders” entitled to vote

present in person or by proxy at the Meeting and be accepted for filing by the Exchange. “Disinterested

shareholders” mean all Shareholders of the Company who are not directors, officers, promoters, or other

insiders of the Company, or their associates or affiliates, as such terms are defined under the Securities Act

(British Columbia).

To the knowledge of the Company, Shareholders who are ineligible to vote on the approval of the Stock

Option Plan and their shareholdings are as follows:

Name of Insider, Associate or Affiliate Number of Shares

All of which are held through CRP-OCS Consulting Limited, a company controlled by Mr. Wood.

In the event that annual disinterested shareholder approval is not obtained at the Meeting, the Company

will implement a new fixed stock option plan for up to 10% of the Company’s issued shares (which does

not require shareholder approval), and any existing option grants under the Stock Option Plan as previously

approved by the disinterested shareholders of the Company at the last Annual General Meeting will not be

affected.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

(For the financial year ended March 31, 2025)

For purposes of this Circular, “named executive officer” of the Company means an individual who, at any

time during the year, was:

(a) each individual who, in respect of the Company, during any part of the most recently

completed financial year, served as the Company’s chief executive officer (“CEO”),

including an individual performing functions similar to a CEO;

(b) each individual who, in respect of the Company, during any part of the most recently

completed financial year, served as the Company’s chief financial officer (“CFO”),

including an individual performing functions similar to a CFO;

(c) in respect of the Company and its subsidiaries, the most highly compensated executive

officer, other than individuals identified in paragraphs (a) and (b) above at the end of the

most recently completed financial year whose total compensation was more than $150,000

for that financial year; and

(d) each individual who would be a named executive officer under paragraph (c) but for the

fact that the individual was neither an executive officer of the Company, nor acting in a

similar capacity, at the end of the most recently completed financial year;

(each a “Named Executive Officer” or “NEO”).

Based on the foregoing definition, during the last completed financial year of the Company, there were two

(2) Named Executive Officers, namely:

• Christopher D. Castle, President, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director; and

• Robyn Hamilton, Chief Financial Officer.

- 10 -


Compensation Discussion and Analysis

In assessing the compensation of its executive officers, the Company does not have in place any formal

objectives, criteria or analysis; instead, it relies mainly on discussions at the Board level.

The Company’s executive compensation program has three principal components: base salary, incentive

bonus plan, and incentive stock options. The determination and administration of base salaries or incentive

bonuses, or both, are discussed in greater detail below. When appropriate to do so, incentive bonuses in

the form of cash payments, are designed to add a variable component of compensation, in addition to stock

options, based on corporate and individual performances for Named Executive Officers, and may or may

not be awarded in any financial year. The Company has no other forms of compensation for its NEOs,

although payments may be made from time to time to individuals who are NEOs or companies they control,

for the provision of consulting services. Such consulting services are paid for by the Company at

competitive industry rates for work of a similar nature by reputable arm’s length services providers.

The Company notes that it is in an exploration phase with respect to its properties, has to operate with

limited financial resources, and must control costs to ensure that funds are available to complete scheduled

exploration programs and otherwise fund its operations. The Board has to consider the current and

anticipated financial position of the Company at the time of any compensation determination. The Board

has attempted to keep the cash compensation paid to the Company’s NEOs relatively modest, while

providing long-term incentives through the granting of stock options.

The Company’s executive compensation program is administered by the Board of Directors and is designed

to provide incentives for the enhancement of shareholder value. The overall objectives are to attract and

retain qualified executives critical to the success of the Company, to provide fair and competitive

compensation, to align the interest of management with those of the Shareholders and to reward corporate

and individual performance. The Company’s compensation package has been structured in order to link

shareholder return, measured by the change in the share price, with executive compensation through the

use of incentive stock options as the primary element of variable compensation for its Named Executive

Officers. The Company does not currently offer long-term incentive plans or pension plans to its Named

Executive Officers.

The Company bases the compensation for a NEO on the years of service with the Company, responsibilities

of each officer and their duties in that position. The Company also bases compensation on the performance

of each officer. The Company believes that stock options can create a strong incentive to the performance

of each officer and is intended to recognize extra contributions and achievements towards the goals of the

Company.

The Board, when determining cash compensation payable to a NEO, takes into consideration their

experience in the mining industry, as well as their responsibilities and duties and contributions to the

Company’s success. Named Executive Officers receive a base cash compensation that the Company feels

is in line with that paid by similar companies in North America, subject to the Company’s financial

resources; however, no formal survey was completed by the Board.

- 11 -


In performing its duties, the Board has considered the implications of risks associated with the Company’s

compensation policies and practices. At its early stage of development and considering its current

compensation policies, the Company has no compensation policies or practices that would encourage an

executive officer or other individual to take inappropriate or excessive risks. An NEO or director is

permitted for his or her own benefit and at his or her own financial risk, to purchase financial instruments,

including, for greater certainty, prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars or units or

exchange funds, that are designed to hedge or offset a decrease in the market value of equity securities

granted as compensation or held, directly or indirectly, by the NEO or director.

Option-Based Awards

Stock options are granted to provide an incentive to the directors, officers, employees and consultants of

the Company to achieve the longer-term objectives of the Company; to give suitable recognition to the

ability and industry of such persons who contribute materially to the success of the Company; and to attract

and retain persons of experience and ability, by providing them with the opportunity to acquire an increased

proprietary interest in the Company. The Company awards stock options to its executive officers based

upon the recommendation of the Board, which recommendation is based upon the Board’s review of a

MANAGEMENT CONTRACTS

Management functions of the Company and its subsidiaries are substantially performed by the Company’s

directors and executive officers. The Company has not entered into any contracts, agreements or

arrangements with parties other than its directors and executive officers for the provision of such

management functions.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

General

The Board believes that good corporate governance improves corporate performance and benefits all

shareholders. National Policy 58-201 - Corporate Governance Guidelines provides non-prescriptive

guidelines on corporate governance practices for reporting issuers such as the Company. In addition,

National Instrument 58-101 - Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices (“NI 58-101”) prescribes

certain disclosure by the Company of its corporate governance practices. This disclosure is presented

below.

Board of Directors

The Board facilitates its exercise of independent supervision over the Company’s management through

frequent meetings of the Board.

The Board is comprised of seven (7) directors, of whom each of Robert Goodden, Jill Hatchwell, and

Dr. Georg Hochwimmer and Ryan Wong are independent for the purposes of NI 58-101. Christopher D.

Castle is not independent since he serves as the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and

- 15 -


Colin Randall is not independent as he serves as an executive director. Linda J. Sanders is not independent

as she is the de facto partner of Chris Castle.

Directorships

Certain of the directors and proposed directors are also directors of other reporting issuers, as follows:

Name Name and Jurisdiction of Reporting Issuer Name of Trading Market

Christopher D. Castle Decklar Resources Ltd. TSXV

Jill Hatchwell Promisia Healthcare Limited NZX

Dr. Georg Hochwimmer

Restart Life Sciences Corp. (formerly Nova

Mentis Life Science Corp.)

Blockmate Ventures Inc.

CSE


TSXV

Orientation and Continuing Education

New Board members receive an orientation package which includes reports on operations and results, and

public disclosure filings by the Company. Board meetings are sometimes held at the Company’s offices

and, from time to time, are combined with presentations by the Company’s management to give the

directors additional insight into the Company’s business. In addition, management of the Company makes

itself available for discussion with all Board members.

Ethical Business Conduct

The Board has found that the fiduciary duties placed on individual directors by the Company’s governing

corporate legislation and the common law and the restrictions placed by applicable corporate legislation on

an individual director’s participation in decisions of the Board in which the director has an interest have

been sufficient to ensure that the Board operates independently of management and in the best interests of

the Company.

Nomination of Directors

The Board considers its size each year when it considers the number of directors to recommend to the

shareholders for election at the annual meeting of shareholders, taking into account the number required to

carry out the Board’s duties effectively and to maintain a diversity of view and experience.

The Board does not have a nominating committee, and these functions are currently performed by the Board

as a whole. However, if there is a change in the number of directors required by the Company, this policy

will be reviewed.

Compensation Governance

The Compensation Committee is responsible for, among other things, evaluating the performance of the

Company’s executive officers, determining or making recommendations with respect to the compensation

of the Company’s executive officers, making recommendations with respect to director compensation,

incentive compensation plans and equity-based plans, making recommendations with respect to the

compensation policy for the employees of the Company or its subsidiaries and ensuring that the Company

is in compliance with all legal requirements with respect to compensation disclosure. In performing its

duties, the Compensation Committee has the authority to engage such advisors, including executive

compensation consultants, as it considers necessary.

- 16 -


The Compensation Committee is currently composed of Robert Goodden and Ryan Wong both of whom

are independent directors within the meaning set out in NI 58-101. Both members of the Compensation

Committee are experienced participants in business or finance,and have sat on the board of directors of

other companies, charities or business associations, in addition to the Board of the Company.

The Board does not have a pre-determined compensation plan. The Company does not engage in

benchmarking practices and the process for determining executive compensation is at the discretion of the

Board. For further discussion, see “Executive Compensation – Compensation Discussion and Analysis”

above.

The Compensation Committee has not engaged the services of independent compensation consultants to

assist it by making recommendations to the Board with respect to director and executive officer

compensation.

Other Board Committees

The Board has no other committees, other than the Audit Committee and Compensation Committee.

Assessments

No formal policy has been established to monitor the effectiveness of the directors, the Board and its

committees.

of the Audit Committee.

7. Remuneration of the Auditors

7.1 The remuneration of the external auditors will be determined by the Board of Directors, upon the

annual authorization of the shareholders at each general meeting of the shareholders.
