Adoption of Shareholder Rights
Plan
Shareholders approved the renewal of the omnibus
equity incentive plan dated June 26, 2019 (the “Omnibus
Plan”), which Omnibus Plan was previously approved by
Shareholders at a meeting held on August 16, 2019. The Omnibus Plan
is an “evergreen” equity based compensation plan pursuant to the
rules of the TSX and therefore Shareholder approval is required
every three years in respect of the Omnibus Plan since the plan
involves the issuance from treasury or potential issuance from
treasury of securities of the Corporation.
The Omnibus Plan is an efficient and effective
plan to provide the Corporation with a share-related mechanism to:
(a) advance the interests of the Corporation by enhancing the
ability of the Corporation and its subsidiaries to attract,
motivate and retain employees, officers, directors, and
consultants, (b) reward such persons for their sustained
contributions and (c) encourage such persons to take into account
the long-term corporate performance of the Corporation.
The Omnibus Plan must be reconfirmed at the
Company’s annual meeting of shareholders to be held in 2025 and
every third annual meeting thereafter or it will expire. The
Omnibus Plan may also be terminated at an earlier time in
accordance with the terms of the Omnibus Plan.
