MONDAY, APRIL 23, 2001
MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR
NOTE: Shareholders who do not hold their shares in their own name as registered shareholders should read “Advice to Beneficial Shareholders” herein for an explanation of their rights.
SOLICITATION OF PROXIES
This circular (“Management Information Circular”) is provided in connection with the solicitation by management of Dynamic Digital Depth Inc. (the “Corporation”) of proxies for the Annual General and Special Meeting of the shareholders of the Corporation (the “Meeting”) to be held on Monday, April 23, 2001, at 9:00 a.m. (Pacific Daylight Time) at 2120 Colorado Avenue, Suite 100, Santa Monica, California.
Management of the Corporation does not contemplate a solicitation of proxies otherwise than by mail. The costs thereof will be borne by the Corporation.
APPOINTMENT AND REVOCATION OF PROXIES
A shareholder has the right to appoint a nominee (who need not be a shareholder) to represent him at the Meeting, other than the persons designated in the enclosed proxy form, by inserting the name of his chosen nominee in the space provided for that purpose on the form, or by completing another proper form of proxy. Such shareholder should notify the nominee of his appointment, obtain his consent to act as proxy and should instruct him on how the shareholder’s shares are to be voted. In any case, the form of proxy should be dated and executed by the shareholder or, where the form of proxy has been executed by an attorney of the shareholder, by the shareholder’s attorney authorized in writing, with proof of such authorization attached.
A form of proxy will not be valid for the Meeting or any adjournment thereof unless it is completed and delivered to the registrar and transfer agent of the Corporation, Computershare Trust Company of Canada, Suite 600, Western Gas Tower, 530 - 8th Avenue S.W., Calgary, Alberta, T2P 3S8, at least forty-eight (48) hours, excluding Saturdays and holidays, before the time of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof.
In addition to revocation in any other manner permitted by law, a shareholder who has given a proxy may revoke it, any time before it is exercised, by instrument in writing executed by the shareholder or by his attorney authorized in writing and deposited either at the registered office of the Corporation at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the day of the Meeting, or any adjournment thereof, at which the proxy is to be used, or with the chairman of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof.

ADVICE TO BENEFICIAL SHAREHOLDERS
Shareholders who do not hold their shares in their own name (referred to herein as “Beneficial Shareholders”) are advised that only proxies from shareholders of record can be recognized and voted upon at the Meeting. Beneficial Shareholders who complete and return a proxy must indicate thereon the person (usually a brokerage house) who holds their shares as a registered shareholder. Every intermediary (broker) has its own mailing procedure, and provides its own return instructions, which should be carefully followed. The form of proxy supplied to registered shareholders is identical to that provided to Beneficial Shareholders. However, its purpose is limited to instructing the registered shareholder how to vote on behalf of the Beneficial Shareholder.
All references to shareholders in this Management Information Circular and the accompanying form of proxy and Notice of Meeting are to shareholders of record unless specifically stated otherwise. Where documents are stated to be available for review or inspection, such items will be shown upon request to registered shareholders who produce proof of their identity.
VOTING OF PROXIES
The persons named in the enclosed form of proxy have been selected by the directors of the Corporation and have indicated their willingness to represent as proxy the shareholder who appoints them. Each shareholder may instruct his proxy how to vote his shares by completing the blanks on the proxy form.
Shares represented by properly executed proxy forms in favour of the person designated on the enclosed form will be voted or withheld from voting in accordance with the instructions given on the proxy forms. In the absence of such instructions, such sharesWILL BE VOTED FOR THE APPROVAL OF ALL RESOLUTIONS IDENTIFIED IN THIS MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR.
The enclosed form of proxy confers discretionary authority upon the persons named therein with respect to amendments and variations to matters identified in the Notice of Meeting and with respect to any other matters which may properly come before the Meeting. At the time of printing this Management Information Circular, the management of the Corporation knows of no such amendments, variations or other matters to come before the Meeting.

3. Amendment to Articles
The articles of the Corporation currently permit the board of directors of the Corporation to be comprised of a minimum of three (3) and a maximum of seven (7) directors. To permit the Corporation greater freedom and access to additional directors, a special resolution seeking shareholder approval to amend the articles of the Corporation to increase the maximum number of directors permitted to comprise the board of directors to ten (10) members will be presented for approval at the Meeting.
-7-
To be effective, a special resolution must be approved by a majority of not less than two-thirds of the votes cast by the shareholders present whether in person or by proxy and entitled to vote on that resolution. The complete text of the proposed special resolution to approve this amendment to the articles is as follows:
"BE IT RESOLVED AS A SPECIAL RESOLUTION OF THE CORPORATION THAT:
| (1) | the articles of the Corporation be amended pursuant to Section 167(1)(k) of the BusinessCorporations Act (Alberta), to increase the maximum number of directors permitted tocomprise the board of directors to ten (10) members; |
| (2) | the shareholders of the Corporation hereby expressly authorize any director or officer ofthe Corporation to exercise their discretion as circumstances may require to revoke thisresolution before it is acted upon without requiring the further approval of theshareholders of the Corporation in that regard; and |
| (3) | any director or officer of the Corporation is hereby authorized and directed to prepareand file the aforementioned amendments to the articles of the Corporation with AlbertaRegistries, and to update the corporate records accordingly.” |
Unless it is otherwise indicated in the proxy, it is management’s intention to vote the proxies in favour of the special resolution approving the amendment to the articles of the Corporation.
4. Amendment to Stock Option Plan
As previously stated under the heading “Executive Compensation,” the Corporation currently has a Stock Option Plan which has been established to provide incentive to quality parties to increase their proprietary interest in the Corporation and thereby encourage their continuing association with the Corporation. Pursuant to the policies of the Canadian Venture Exchange, the maximum number of shares that may be reserved for the issuance of shares pursuant to the exercise of stock options granted pursuant to the plan, is 20% of the issued and outstanding. The Stock Option Plan currently specifies a maximum of 3,634,952 shares issuable pursuant to the plan. As of the Effective Date, the Corporation has 22,402,492 Common Shares issued and outstanding.
To ensure maximum flexibility of retaining and encouraging the continuing association of qualified parties with the Corporation, the shareholders will be asked to approve an ordinary resolution to amend the Stock Option Plan to specify a maximum of 4,480,498 Common Shares issuable upon exercise of stock options granted pursuant to the plan, which number represents 20% of the 22,402,492 Common Shares issued and outstanding as of the Effective Date.Disinterested shareholder approval, being the approval of the majority of the votes cast by all the shareholders of the Meeting, excluding the insiders of the Corporation or the associates, shall be sought for this resolution.
The text of the ordinary resolution approving the amendment to the Stock Option Plan to be considered at the Meeting will be substantially as follows:
"BE IT RESOLVED AS AN ORDINARY RESOLUTION OF THE CORPORATION THAT:
| (1) | Section 3 of the Stock Option Plan dated February 6, 2000 be amended to reference 4,480,498 as the maximum number of shares which may be reserved for exercise of options under the plan; |
-8-
| (2) | All stock options granted pursuant to the Stock Option Plan be and are hereby ratified, confirmed and approved; and |
| (3) | Any director or officer be and is hereby authorized to execute and deliver all such deeds and other documents as may be necessary in order to give effect to the revisions to the plan and the board of directors of the Corporation from time to time, be authorized to grant options in the capital stock of the Corporation pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of the Stock Option Plan as revised.” |
Unless otherwise indicated in the proxy, it is management’s intention to vote the proxies in favour of the ordinary resolution approving the revision to the Stock Option Plan.
5. Other Business
While there is no other business other than that mentioned in the Notice of Meeting to be presented for consideration by the shareholders at the Meeting, it is intended that the proxies hereby solicited will be exercised upon any other matters and proposals that may properly come before the Meeting, or any adjournment or adjournments thereof, in accordance with the discretion of the persons authorized to act thereunder.
