Voting of Common Shares – Advice to Non-Registered HoldersWhat are broker non-votes?

 

Only registered holders of Common Shares, or the persons they appointUnder applicable United States laws, banks and brokers acting as their proxies,nominees are permitted to attenduse discretionary voting authority to vote proxies for proposals that are deemed “routine” by the New York Stock Exchange (the exchange that makes such determinations), but are not permitted to use discretionary voting authority to vote proxies for proposals that are deemed “non-routine” by the New York Stock Exchange. A broker “non-vote” occurs when a proposal is deemed “non-routine” and vote ata nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner does not have discretionary voting authority with respect to the Meeting. matter being considered and has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner. The determination of which proposals are deemed “routine” versus “non-routine” may not be made by the New York Stock Exchange until after the date on which this Circular has been mailed to you. As such, it is important that you provide voting instructions to your bank, broker or other nominee, if you wish to determine the voting of your Common Shares.

However, in many cases,under applicable Canadian securities laws, banks, brokers and other Intermediaries are not permitted to vote Common Shares held on behalf of beneficial shareholders except in accordance with voting instructions received from the applicable beneficial shareholder. Therefore, Canadian Intermediaries are not permitted to exercise discretionary voting authority in relation to “routine” business. Further, the Alberta Business Corporations Act (the “ABCA”), which is the statute pursuant to which the Company has been incorporated, provides that shares of a corporation that are registered to a registrant or a registrant’s nominee and are not beneficially owned by the registrant are not permitted to be voted without instructions from the beneficial owner, and the registrant is not permitted to appoint a holder (a "Non-Registered Holder")proxyholder in respect of those shares without voting instructions from the beneficial owner.

How are registered either:we soliciting this proxy?

We are soliciting this proxy on behalf of management of the Company and will pay all expenses associated therewith. Some of our officers, directors and other employees also may, but without compensation other than their regular compensation, solicit proxies by further mailing or personal conversations, or by telephone, facsimile or other electronic means.

We will also, upon request, reimburse brokers and other persons holding stock in their names, or in the names of nominees, for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for forwarding proxy materials to the beneficial owners of the capital stock and to obtain proxies, provided that the Company does not intend to pay for the costs of forwarding proxy-related materials (including the notice-and-access notification) to “objecting beneficial owners” unless required by applicable United States securities laws. As a consequence, such objecting beneficial owners may not receive the proxy-related materials unless their Intermediary assumes the cost of delivery.

The working capital line of credit is unsecured; however Mr. Solensky has personally guaranteed our obligations under the working capital line of credit.

They also specify that a director who is an executive officer or employee of the Company or has been an executive officer or employee of the Company within three years, precludes a determination of independence with respect to such director. Under the rules of the NYSE American, independent directors must comprise at least 50% of our Board. In addition, the rules of the NYSE American require that, subject to specified exceptions, each member of our Audit, Compensation, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees must be independent.

Our Board has undertaken a review of the independence of each director. Based on information provided by each director concerning their background, employment and affiliations, our Board determined that Dr. Powers, Mr. Rowe, Mr. Williams, Mr. MacLeod, Mr. Whelan and Dr. Nichols do not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director and that each of these directors is “independent” as that term is defined under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the listing requirements and rules of the NYSE American. In making these determinations, our Board considered the current and prior relationships that each non-employee director has with our company and all other facts and circumstances our Board deemed relevant in determining their independence, including the beneficial ownership of our capital stock by each non-employee director, and any transactions involving them described in the section entitled “Transactions with Related Persons.”

Additionally, Audit Committee members must also satisfy the independence criteria set forth in Rule 10A-3 under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). In order to be considered independent for purposes of Rule 10A-3, a member of an audit committee of a listed company may not, other than in his or her capacity as a member of the Audit Committee, the Board or any other Board committee, accept, directly or indirectly, any consulting, advisory or other compensatory fee from the listed company or any of its subsidiaries or be an affiliated person of the listed company or any of its subsidiaries.

Under the ABCA, there is a requirement that the audit committee of a Canadian “reporting issuer” such as the Company must consist of at least three directors, a majority of whom are not officers or employees of the Company or any of its affiliates. Further, Canadian securities laws impose requirements with respect to the composition of audit committees, including independence requirements. However, the Company currently qualifies for an exemption from compliance with the audit committee requirements in Canadian securities laws, and therefore instead complies with the requirements of the NYSE American and United States securities laws described above.

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

Although we have not adopted a formal policy on whether the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer positions should be separate or combined, we have determined that it is in our best interests and the best interests of our shareholders to separate these roles at this time. Mr. Heaton currently serves as our Chief Executive Officer and Mr. Rowe serves as Chairman of our Board. The Board believes this governance structure promotes balance between the Board's independent authority to oversee our business and the CEO and his management team who manage the business on a day-to-day basis.

Our Board is primarily responsible for overseeing our risk management processes. The Board receives and reviews periodic reports from management, auditors, legal counsel and others, as considered appropriate regarding our assessment of risks. The Board focuses on the most significant risks facing our general risk management strategy, and us and also ensures that risks undertaken by us are consistent with the Board’s appetite for risk. While the Board oversees our risk management, management is responsible for day-to-day risk management processes. We believe that this division of responsibilities is the most effective approach for addressing the risks facing us and that our Board leadership structure supports this approach. Our Audit Committee oversees our cybersecurity program, which is designed to protect our confidential and proprietary information. Any matters of particular significance are further reported to the Board.

Shareholder Communications

Our Board will give appropriate attention to written communications that are submitted by shareholders and will respond if and as appropriate. Absent unusual circumstances or as contemplated by committee charters, and subject to advice from legal counsel, the Secretary of the Company is primarily responsible for monitoring communications from shareholders and for providing copies or summaries of such communications to the Board as the Secretary considers appropriate.

Communications from shareholders will be forwarded to all directors if they relate to important substantive matters or if they include suggestions or comments that the Secretary considers to be important for the Board to know. Communication relating to corporate governance and corporate strategy are more likely to be forwarded to the Board than communications regarding personal grievances, ordinary business matters, and matters as to which the Company tends to receive repetitive or duplicative communications.

Shareholders who wish to send communications to the Board should address such communications to: The Board of Directors, Zomedica Corp., 100 Phoenix Drive, Suite 190, Ann Arbor, MI 48108, Attention: Secretary.

Code of Ethics

Our Board has adopted the Code of Ethics, which applies to all officers, directors and employees. Our Code of Ethics is available on our website at www.zomedica.com, as well as our SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca. Information contained in, or accessible through, our website does not constitute part of this Circular. We intend to disclose any amendments to our Code of Ethics, or waivers of its requirements, on our website and on our SEDAR+ profile, as well as in our filings under the Exchange Act and filings to satisfy Canadian securities requirements on our SEDAR+ profile.

Anti-Hedging Policy

Under the terms of our insider trading policy, we prohibit each officer, director and employee, and each of their family members and controlled entities, from engaging in certain forms of hedging or monetization transactions. Such transactions include those, such as zero-cost collars and forward sale contracts, that would allow them to lock in much of the value of their stock holdings, often in exchange for all or part of the potential for upside appreciation in the stock, and to continue to own the covered securities but without the full risks and rewards of ownership.

These persons are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file.

To our knowledge, based solely on a review of the copies of such reports furnished to us, and written representations that no other reports were required during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, all reports required to be filed under Section 16(a) during 2023 were filed on a timely basis.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The table below sets forth certain information with respect to beneficial ownership of our securities as of the Record Date by:

·

each person known by our directors and executive officers to beneficially own, or control or direct, directly or indirectly, more than 5% of the Company’s  issued and outstanding Common Shares;

·

each of our named executive officers and directors; and

·

all our executive officers and directors as a group.

The number of Common Shares beneficially owned by each shareholder as indicated below has been determined in accordance with applicable United States securities requirements. Under such rules, beneficial ownership includes any Common Shares as to which a person has sole or shared voting power or investment power. Percentage ownership is based on 979,949,668 Common Shares outstanding on the Record Date. In computing the number of Common Shares beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, Common Shares subject to stock options, warrants or other rights held by such person that are currently convertible or exercisable or will become convertible or exercisable within 60 days of the Record Date are considered outstanding, although these Common Shares are not considered outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.

Unless otherwise stated, the address of each beneficial holder is c/o Zomedica Corp., 100 Phoenix Drive, Suite 190, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48108. We believe, based on information provided to us that each of the shareholders listed below has sole voting and investment power with respect to the Common Shares beneficially owned by the shareholder unless noted otherwise, subject to community property laws where applicable.

PursuantThe Board believes that the Company’s compensation program for executive officers is designed to Policy 4.4 (the "Policy"attract and retain high-quality people and to motivate them to achieve both our long-term and short-term goals.

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, enacted in July 2010, requires that we provide our shareholders with the opportunity to vote to approve, on an advisory (non-binding) basis, the compensation of our named executive officers (“NEOs”) of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSX-V"), corporations that have a rolling stock option plan reserving a maximum of 10% of the issued and outstanding shares of the corporation must receive yearly shareholder approval of the stock option plan. Inas disclosed in this Circular in accordance with the Policy, Shareholders are being asked to consider and, if deemed advisable, ratify, adopt and approve the Corporation's 2018 Stock Option Plan and to authorize the Corporation's board of directors (the "Board") to make any amendments thereto that may be required for the purpose of obtaining the TSX-V's approvalrules of the 2018 Stock Option Plan. The 2018 Stock Option Plan authorizesSEC. We intend to continue to hold such an advisory vote on the Board to issue options to directors, officers, key employees and others who arecompensation of our NEOs, commonly known as a “say-on-pay” vote, each year in a position to contribute toconnection with our annual meeting of shareholders until the future success and growthnext vote on the frequency of the Corporation.“say-on-pay” vote or until our Board otherwise determines that a different frequency for this advisory vote is in the best interests of our shareholders. The next advisory vote on the frequency of “say-on-pay” votes will occur no later than 2028.

 

Our executive compensation program is intended to attract, motivate, reward and retain the senior management talent required to achieve our corporate objectives and increase shareholder value. Our philosophy in setting compensation policies for executive officers is to align pay with performance, while at the same time provide competitive compensation. We believe that our compensation policies and procedures are aligned with the long-term interests of our shareholders.

Stock Option Plans

As of December 31, 2015, Zomedica Pharmaceuticals Corp (formerly, Wise Oakwood Ventures Inc.), had a shareholder-approved option plan, or the WOW Plan, pursuant to which options to purchase 200,000 common shares were outstanding. The terms of the WOW Plan were substantially similar to those of our current Stock Option Plan. In connection with the Qualifying Transaction, these options were consolidated into options to purchase 80,000 common shares of Zomedica Pharmaceuticals Corp. and fully exercised and the WOW Plan was terminated.

In April 2016, concurrent with the completion of the Qualifying Transaction, we adopted a new equity stock option plan, the Stock Option Plan. The Stock Option Plan was approved by our shareholders. The purpose of the Stock Option Plan is to attract and retain employees, consultants, officers and directors to our company and to motivate them to advance the interests of our company by affording them with the opportunity, through share options, to acquire an equity interest in our company and benefit from its growth.

Administration. The Stock Option Plan is administered by our board of directors. Our board of directors may grant options to purchase shares of our common shares or such other shares as may substitute therefore in the capital of Zomedica Pharmaceuticals Corp. Our board of directors also has authority to determine the terms and conditions of each award, prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Stock Option Plan, and amend the terms of awards (provided that no amendment may materially prejudice the rights of a participant without consent such participant's consent). Our board of directors may delegate authority to a committee of our directors or to an officer. Our board or directors may terminate the Stock Option Plan.

Eligibility. Persons eligible to receive awards under the Stock Option Plan include any person who is an employee, officer, director or consultant provided that any consultant has performed and/or continues to perform services for our company under a written agreement and on an ongoing basis or is expected to provide a service to our company.

Shares Subject to the Stock Option Plan. The aggregate number of shares of common shares available for issuance in connection with options and awards granted under the Stock Option Plan is ten percent of the total number of issued and outstanding common shares calculated on a non-diluted basis. If any award of options granted under the Stock Option Plan expires or terminates without having been fully exercised, that number of common shares shall become available for the purpose of future grants under the Stock Option Plan.

Terms and Conditions of Options. Our board of directors will determine the exercise price of options granted under the Stock Option Plan. The exercise price of stock options may not be less than that from time to time permitted under the rules of any stock exchange on which the common shares are then listed. In addition, the exercise price of an option must be paid in cash.

The number of common shares subject to each option shall be determined by our board of directors with the following limitations. The number of common shares reserved for issuance to any one individual, consultant, person conducting investor relations or insider (as defined in theSecurities Act (Alberta)) in a 12 month period may not exceed 5%, 2%, 2% and 10%, respectively, of the issued and outstanding common shares at the time of the grant.

No option may be exercisable for more than ten years from the date of grant. Options granted under the Stock Option Plan will be exercisable at such time or times as our board of directors prescribes at the time of grant. Options shall only be exercised by the participant as long as the optionee remains or was within the last ninety days an employee, officer, director or consultant, if the optionee dies, within one year of the optionee's death or if an optionee is engaged in investor relations activities, within 30 days of being so engaged by our company.

All benefits, rights and options accruing under the Stock Option Plan are non-transferrable and non-assignable unless specifically provided in the grant. During the lifetime of a participant, any options granted under the Stock Option Plan may only be exercised by the participant and in the event of the death of a participant, by the person or persons to whom the participant's rights under the option pass by the participant's will or applicable law.

Effect of Certain Corporate Transactions. In the event of a sale by our company of all or substantially all of its assets or in the event of a change of control (as defined in the Stock Option Plan) of our company, each participant shall be entitled to exercise, in whole or in part, the options granted to such participant under the Stock Option Plan, either during the term of the option or within ninety days after the date of the sale or change of control, whichever first occurs.

Director Compensation

        We have not established a formal compensation policy for our outside directors. We did not compensate our outside directors for their service in 2017.
