VITALITY ADOPTS NEW SHARE OPTION
PLAN
Shareholders ratified, confirmed and approved, subject to
regulatory approval, the adoption of the Company's new 20% fixed
share option plan (the "Fixed Option Plan") at the Company's AGM
held on July 18, 2023. On
June 8, 2023, the Board of Directors
approved the adoption of the Fixed Option Plan, subject to
shareholder and regulatory approval, to align with the current TSX
Venture Exchange ("TSXV") policies on equity compensation
plans. The purpose of the Fixed Option Plan is to promote the
interests of the Company and its shareholders by aiding the Company
in attracting and retaining employees, officers, consultants,
advisors and non-employee directors capable of assuring the future
success of the Company, to offer such persons incentives to put
forth maximum efforts for the success of the Company's business and
to compensate such persons through stock option arrangements and
provide them with opportunities for stock ownership in the Company,
thereby aligning the interests of such persons with the Company's
shareholders.
The maximum aggregate number of common shares of the Company
that may be reserved for issuance under the Fixed Option Plan,
together with all other security based compensation plans, at any
point in time shall not exceed 8,282,257 common shares, which
represents 20% of the outstanding shares upon the date of approval
of the Fixed Option Plan by the Board of Directors. The Fixed
Option Plan will replace the Company's current Rolling Option
Plan. All future stock option grants will be made pursuant
to, or as otherwise permitted by, the Fixed Option Plan, and no
further stock option grants will be made pursuant to the Company's
Rolling Option Plan. The Fixed Option Plan will supersede and
replace the Company's Rolling Option Plan. There are
1,195,000 stock options outstanding.
