2010 Share Option Plan Approved
The Company's new "rolling" share option plan (the "2010 Share Option Plan"), which was adopted by the Company's Board of Directors on March 26, 2010 to replace the Company's then-existing share option plan, was also approved by the shareholders at the annual general meeting. Pursuant to the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange, the 2010 Share Option Plan requires shareholder approval for continuation at every annual meeting of the Company by ordinary resolution.
A maximum of 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company at the time an option is granted, less common shares reserved for issuance on exercise of options then outstanding under the 2010 Share Option Plan, are reserved for options to be granted at the discretion of the Board to eligible optionees. Options to purchase an aggregate of 400,000 Common Shares had been granted under the previous share option plan. These options have been rolled into and deemed granted under the 2010 Share Option Plan.
There are currently 44,786,807 common shares of the Company issued and outstanding, so the 2010 Share Option Plan will permit up to 4,478,681 Common Shares (being equal to 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company) for incentive stock option grants under the plan to qualifying persons, including the 400,000 common shares covered by options granted under the previous share option plan.
