<p style="margin: 0pt; text-align: left; font-family: Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 10pt;">The Company<font style="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 10pt;">&rsquo;s shareholders failed to approve the adoption of the 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan. The proposed 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan was adopted by the Board subject to shareholder approval in order to replace the Company&rsquo;s existing 2011 Stock Option Plan. The 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan included the latest developments in plan design for a U.S. based public company, many of which are missing from the Company&rsquo;s current stock 2011 Stock Option Plan which was designed to comply with Canadian law and listing requirements of the Toronto Stock Exchange, which are no longer applicable to the Company.</font></p>

<p style="margin: 0pt; text-align: left; font-family: Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 10pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="margin: 0pt; text-align: left; font-family: Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 10pt;"><font style="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 10pt;">The Company believes that its executive officers and other key personnel currently hold equity awards that help promote pay for performance and align their interests with those of the shareholders. Under the terms of the 2011 Stock Option Plan, ten percent of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares (on a non-diluted basis) on a particular grant date are available for issuance under the Plan. There is no assurance that the Plan will have sufficient shares available for future equity awards necessary to attract, retain or motivate executive officers, other employees and consultants and to compensate independent directors. </font></p>

3.
Approval of the 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan
The Company
's shareholders failed to approve the adoption of the 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan. The proposed 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan was adopted by the Board subject to shareholder approval in order to replace the Company's existing 2011 Stock Option Plan. The 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan included the latest developments in plan design for a U.S. based public company, many of which are missing from the Company's current stock 2011 Stock Option Plan which was designed to comply with Canadian law and listing requirements of the Toronto Stock Exchange, which are no longer applicable to the Company.
The Company believes that its executive officers and other key personnel currently hold equity awards that help promote pay for performance and align their interests with those of the shareholders. Under the terms of the 2011 Stock Option Plan, ten percent of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares (on a non-diluted basis) on a particular grant date are available for issuance under the Plan. There is no assurance that the Plan will have sufficient shares available for future equity awards necessary to attract, retain or motivate executive officers, other employees and consultants and to compensate independent directors.
The Company
will continue to make equity awards under its 2011 Stock Option Plan.
